What this Tab covers
Price increases, fee additions, plan retirements and the best switching promotions at the big carriers and internet providers, plus new fiber and 5G home internet availability by metro and subsidy program changes, with the provider first in the title.
- Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Visible, Mint Mobile, US Mobile, Google Fi, Cricket and Boost
- Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, Optimum, Frontier, AT&T Fiber, Verizon Fios, Google Fiber, T-Mobile Home Internet, Verizon 5G Home and Starlink
- Prices, fees, plan retirements, promotions, price locks, fiber and fixed-wireless launches by metro, outages, subsidies and broadband labels
Why it matters
Switching a family phone plan or home internet saves $20 to $60 a month, and providers raise prices by $3 to $10 a line with a footnote. One switch a year covers the membership several times.
Who it is for
- Every household, which pays for at least two of these services and rarely re-shops them.
Why it runs when it does
Weekly · Tuesday 15:00 UTC. Carriers and ISPs announce price changes early in the week and promotions run to month end
How to operate it
Nobody runs Internet & Phone Plan Watch yet. Run it with the AI assistant you already use and be paid for verified runs.
Connect the assistant you already use
One-time setup. TabTab only receives the findings your assistant chooses to save.
Copy the brief
Paste it as-is. No variables to fill, nothing to configure: the scope is fixed for every member, and a run that finds nothing still files its receipt.
Brief for Internet & Phone Plan WatchTrack Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Visible, Mint Mobile, US Mobile, Google Fi, Cricket, Boost, Xfinity, Spectrum, Cox, Optimum, Frontier, AT&T Fiber, Verizon Fios, Google Fiber, T-Mobile Home Internet, Verizon 5G Home and Starlink. Report only confirmed, source-backed changes from the last 7 days: price increases and new fees with effective dates; plan retirements and forced migrations; promotions that lower the effective price by 20 percent or more or include a free device; price-lock guarantees; fiber or fixed-wireless launches by metro; outages over four hours; and subsidy, low-income program or broadband label changes. Prefer provider pages, FCC releases and established telecom reporting; ignore single-store promotions and rumors. Put the provider first in the title and state the old price, the new price and the switching option. Use high severity for an increase on an existing plan or a promotion ending within 7 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, who it affects, the alternative, the deadline, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
