Negotiate your internet bill

The bot signs into your internet account, opens the provider's support chat, and asks for a lower rate or a cheaper plan.

Starting prompt (adapted)

Review my last few internet bills and note what I pay, my speed, and any expired promos or add-on fees. Then open my provider's online support chat and ask for a lower monthly price that keeps my current speed, with no contract, no new equipment fees, and no add-on lines. Do not accept any offer, plan change, or charge until you show it to me and I approve it. If the agent asks for identity checks such as SSN digits or a PIN, stop and hand the screen back to me, and never enter full SSN, card, or account numbers yourself. When it's done, save the provider's confirmation (email, chat transcript, or order page) and tell me which terms the provider confirmed, including speed, price, and how long the price lasts, versus what you expect to see on the next bill.

Written for this site from what the cases below did. It is a starting point, not a prompt anyone posted. Fill in the parts in brackets.

What you still do

  • Log the bot into the provider account
  • Confirm an email or code when the provider sends one
  • Answer identity questions such as partial SSN digits
  • Approve the offer before the bot accepts it
  • Check the next bill for the new price

Where it tends to fail

  • The cheaper plan can be slower than the one you had
  • The new price may be a 12-month promo that rises later
  • Some providers give no confirmation number or written terms
  • The saving may be measured against an upcoming price rise, not your last bill

How well it's backed up

Most posts are the bot's own summary or text only. A few show the provider's order page or chat offer, which confirm the order or credit but not always the price.
