10 money-saving hacks you can do with great Internet

A fast, reliable Internet connection doesn’t just load your page faster — it opens up a better, more affordable way to live. Here are 10 things you can do with high-speed fiber that are totally free, or that can help you cut costs in clever ways.

And when you’ve got Ting powering your connection? Even better.

1. Stream like you’ve never paid for cable (because you didn’t)
   Pluto TV, Tubi, Crackle, PBS — there’s an ocean of free streaming out there. All you need is solid Internet and a couch.
2. Video call without the “can you hear me now?” loop
   FaceTime, Zoom, Google Meet — all free. All way better with fast, stable Internet. Whether you’re calling your family, your friends, or whoever else, good Internet allows you to do it without the awkward lag.
3. Learn new skills. Pay $0.
   Sites like Coursera, Khan Academy, Duolingo and more offer free learning in just about everything. Want to try coding, cooking, or speaking Italian with confidence? Go for it.
4. Back up your life — without paying for storage
   You don’t need a subscription to protect your files. Use free tiers from Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Ting’s symmetric upload speeds (yep, upload matters too) make backups quick and painless.
5. Fire your gym. Hire YouTube.
   YouTube has workouts for every fitness level, from 5-minute desk stretches to full-blown HIIT. With Ting’s fiber, you won’t freeze mid-burpee. (Unless it’s on purpose. Respect.)
6. Work from home like a boss (or at least like a person with decent Wi-Fi)
   Ting makes working from home seamless. Skip the coffee shop and its $7 lattes. Say goodbye to awkward video lags and “sorry, I dropped off.” Say hello to fewer commutes, less stress, and real savings.
7. Get free music, the good kind
   Spotify Free, YouTube playlists, Pandora — all yours, no subscription required. With good Internet, your playlists play on. No skips lost to stutters.
8. Ditch your landline. Or even your cell plan.
   Free calling and texting apps like WhatsApp and Google Voice let you stay in touch over Wi-Fi. And if you want even more savings? Ting Mobile gives our Internet customers unlimited mobile for just $10/month per line. (Yes. Really.)
9. Make your home smarter. Pay less doing it.
   Smart thermostats, lights and plugs can help lower your utility bills. Great Internet keeps them running smoothly — and helps you keep tabs on how much you’re saving.
10. Use your library card like a magic wand
    With apps like Libby, Hoopla, and OverDrive, you can borrow eBooks, audiobooks, movies and more — all free with your library card and a fast connection. 

Ting isn’t the star of the show. The Internet is.
No bundles. No bait-and-switch promos. Just $89/month for fast, honest Internet.

Because life’s better when your connection just works.
And a little free entertainment doesn’t hurt either.
