There’s only one thing in this world that’s even better than saving money, and that’s saving money at the expense of your cable company. Your ISP has been overcharging you for service for years, and the monopolies these companies are allowed to establish means there’s often nowhere else to turn. What’s more, on top of overcharging you for service, your cable company is also taking on a bogus fee of either $8 or $10 each month just so that you can use their cable modem to connect to the internet. It’s an outrage, and it ends right now.

Take advantage of Amazon’s limited-time sale on the TP-LINK DOCSIS 3.0 (8×4) High Speed Cable Modem (TC-7610-E), which is now just $49.95 with free shipping. Pay $50 to Amazon today and you’ll save between $96 and $120 per year on your cable bill for the rest of your life.
