Southern California

$54.99 for 500Mbps down and 25Mbps up

That's with Spectrum being my only option. I use BillShark to renegotiate every year, so I'm not sure what it would be normally

No problem. Be aware that they take their cut of the projected savings up front. At first it might not seem like a good deal, but it is over the long haul. I've been using them for about 3 or 4 years now and it adds up. Plus it feels good sticking it to the ISP for their shady practices and constant rate raising. And you don't have to do any of the work.

Careful with this, they often lock you in to 2, 3 year contacts to get lower monthly rates

If it’s a low rate, I’d be fine with that.
