I’ve switched everything I can away from subscriptions, even swapping to pre-paid phone plan. If I could do the same with my Internet or insurance, I absolutely would.

I like not having small-ish amounts of money come out every month. It’s easier to plan for a big chunk once a year. It’s also much easier to see tiny customer-fucking price increases because they represent a greater difference in annual payment over monthly.

Yearly subscriptions are still subscriptions, you know?

Not really an option to not have a phone line of some sort and insurance, you know?

At least it’s pre-paid and I can bounce whenever I want. Don’t even have to cancel, just port my number.
