Ryan lives in Winston-Salem, NC. He works long hours. And like a lot of people, he kept paying an internet bill he didn’t love because fixing it meant doing the one thing he didn’t have the bandwidth for: calling AT&T.
Ryan was honest about it: “I was paying way too much... but work makes it difficult to call and negotiate.”
He handed the task to Pine. We made the call. He saved $20/month, that’s over $240 a year saved!
The problem: the bill felt too high, and life was too busy to fight it
Ryan’s situation is the classic "Time Tax." He knew he was overpaying. But the cost of fixing it, spending 45 minutes or more, navigating phone menus, felt higher than the cost of just paying the bill.
Most people don't make phone calls. Not because they are lazy. Because the system is designed to be exhausting.
What Ryan would have done without Pine AI (spoiler: nothing)
In his own words - “Honestly, I would have given up and forgotten about it, wasting money.”
That resignation is exactly what big telecom relies on. They know you don't have the capacity or the negotiation skill to fight them.
The outcome: $20/month saved (that’s $240/year)
The math is simple.
- Monthly Savings: $20
- Annual Savings: $240
- Time Spent on Hold by Ryan: 0 minutes.
Saving time as well as money and the relief of not dealing with hold music
The money is great. But the real win? Ryan didn’t have to sit through music and speak to anyone. He offloaded the stress to us.
If your AT&T internet bill feels high, here’s a quick checklist
-
- Check your statement date: Did a 12-month promo just expire?
-
- Compare speeds: Are you paying for Fiber 1000 when you only use 300?
-
- Upload to Pine: If you don't have the time to call, let us do it.
Want Pine to negotiate your bill too?
Don't let the "Loyalty Penalty" cost you another $240 this year.
