GOING TO TRAVEL? YOU CAN STOP CHARGING MONTHLY FEES LIKE INTERNET AND CABLE TV!
by Denise Pinheiro
If you're going to be away from home for a long time, why not stop charging for contracted services? After all, you won't enjoy them. You can thus save and, at the same time, make up for the extra expenses you will have with your trip. As a consumer of services, you have the right to request the temporary interruption of some services such as pay TV and landline, mobile phone, internet, electricity and water for the period when you are not at home, as well as the right to then request the restart.
