Tightwad Diary October 17

My hub and I traded in our $70 cable bill for a $9 Netflix account.  Now, a year and half later, I'm feeling resistant to the $80 internet bill.  Next on my Tightwad project list is Explore Alternate Internet Service to Cox.  The actual service is 59.99, but with the modem rental and taxes, its around $80 per month.  We live in an apartment so we cannot use Dish or AT&T.  I have heard of something called Uverse or something like this where a strip is placed near your computer or window or something like this which gives internet and I hope my router will still work for wifi.  Its supposed to be around $19 per month.  This goes on the list behind some rice bags I'm sewing for gifts and to sell on Ebay.
