I've not used connectutilities.com. Does anyone have any experience with them?

The advice to check into your insurance deductibles and increase them *can* make good economic sense. My personal experience has been that the savings are significant. If increasing your insurance deductible from $250 to $1,000 saves you $150, that's 20% of the difference. Or said another way, you'd break even in five years even if you were to have a claim. When was the last time you actually had an insurance claim anyway?

As soon as I pay a car off I drop the collision coverage. I am 12 years to the good on current 1993 Honda with 170K miles.

I checked this out for my house in Montana and all it showed was my current phone provider with cheaper options and internet. I happen to know that there is a much cheaper local option with internet/cable AND phone bundle, but it was not listed. White fence does not have a relationship with that company.
