If they offered you a 10% discount, would you pay a year in advance, for all your subscriptions (Cable, Internet, Phone, etc. but not household utilities, like water, heat, electricity)? For your current services, how much would that be?
Mine would be about $1500, and I don't want to know that it'is that much, so I'll just keep paying monthly.
For me, that's Cable/Internet = $130 a month
Landline phone with lifeline = $10
No cellphone or other communication devices in home or car.
I wouldn't pay up front. Like you said. It would just seem too much. I think if people saw how much it would cost them for a whole year people wouldn't buy certain things. We pay $120 for our cellphones. So $1440 a year. That just seems completely ridiculous when all you need it is for calling people for actual reasons. Not to call and spend 30 minutes talking about absolutely nothing. We will be getting cheaper cellphone plans though.
About $290. I'd do it, just have to stagger it so it doesn't come due all at once. Cell one month, cable another, landlines another, E&O and disability another, auto another. If they all came due on the same month it'd be a shock.

You pay $290 a year for all of those things. Please breakdown
Are you talking about a 10% discount for paying one year in advance, ... or are you talking about putting your credit card on file and allowing them to automatically charge your account? Frankly, I don't like either. The former says, "here, hold my cash for me" while the latter says, "here, hold my credit card/s for me."

$2900 a year, or $290 in savings on a 10% discount.
Cell, cable, two landlines with unlimited long distance. I could just get more minutes on one line but the cell phone coverage blows. I use too much bandwidth at times to get a decent VoIP connection. Gimpy uploads ftw.
Getting $290 would involve a lot of sacrifice. If T-Mobile had better coverage where I am, they have unlimited talk, text, and data (up to 5GB) for $30/month. I could ditch the phone lines if I didn't work from home. A couple of the companies still use dial-up authentication and it's also my fax line. TV I could do without. Sports is really what I have it for and MLB TV, others I could do without, is only $130/year. I already have Amazon Prime which is a meh version of Netflix... I'd probably get Hulu Plus if going without cable. So that's $600 a year. Not too bad for those on a tight budget who won't want to give up a whole lot.

I thought you were saying you would end up paying $290 a year for cable and what not. Not the savings. I understand now. Lol
