Lowering Your Time Warner Cable Bill

There are several things you can do to try to lower your Time Warner Cable bill. Some methods are more effective than others; however, each method has the potential to save you money in the long run. Ways you can lower you Time Warner Cable bill include:

1. Call Time Warner Cable: You can call customer service here and ask for a rate adjustment. Sometimes simply calling customer service will get you a lower monthly rate; however, this is not a guaranteed method. When Spectrum acquired Time Warner Cable, the days of quick agreement to give existing customers introductory rates went away. You may still be able to get a lower rate by calling Time Warner Cable.
2. Remove Unnecessary Services: Take inventory of what services you have and cancel the ones you are not using or you don't use enough to justify the cost. For example, if you have a phone line with Time Warner Cable, but you use your cellphone more than your landline, drop the landline from your bill. Also, if you can get by with a lower internet speed, drop your higher speed service for the lower one with a lower monthly rate. The same applies with premium channels. If you don't regularly watch premium channels, remove them from your account.
3. Lower Equipment Fees: Rather than lease Time Warner Cable's equipment, buy your own. A prime example of equipment you can buy to reduce your bill is the Wi-Fi router. A router will cost you a bit more at the beginning, but the savings over time will add up.
   
4. See if adding a service will help lower your bill: While it may seem the opposite, sometimes adding a service (such as adding internet) can save you money by making you eligible for introductory rates again, but can save you money overall. For example, if you have television with Time Warner Cable, but internet with a different company/provider, you may qualify for a bundle deal with Time Warner Cable that will be less than the amount of the separate bills you are currently paying.

With prices continuing to go up, you don't want to pay more for television, internet or phone service than necessary. You can take steps to lower your Time Warner Cable bill and still enjoy the conveniences of your Time Warner services.
