I have used Strait Talk. It is only forty or fifty dollars a month. You get it through Wal Mart.

I don't know of anything that is cheap these days.  I use Spectrum for internet and I do get the $30 credit.  I use Verizon and we are on a family plan.

Try OOMA.  It is cheaper and easier to use.

To be honest, cheap internet is great. I pay quite a lot for internet, but since I bet on sports, I need good internet, so I can't save on this thing. In addition to constantly watching sports matches and sports livestreams, I read tips and predictions here https://takebet.ke/betting-tips/ht-ft-half-time-full-time. It helps me not make a mistake with a bet and make a profit.

I wonder if the increase in Social Security (Possibly 10% COLA) will affect our benefits like this broadband $30.00 and other Food Stamps, SSI, Food Bank eligibility etc ..  Counter productive measure that the government will be responsible for in the long run!  As in the Federal increase in interest rates made all the payments rise.
