How to lower skyrocketing bills?

I use my TV and internet 8 months out of the year.  Aside from using the vaca mode, how can I get my unbelievably high rate down?  I don’t need 800 mps of speed, yet lowering all the way to 75 is only $10 a month cheaper.  Any other options only save $.01 a month, all with long term commitment.  I don’t need 185 channels, but reducing to about 120 only saves $.01 a MONTH with a long term commitment. My rate is $223 a month now, $60 more than in MA.

I won’t switch to Comcast in MA because of high rates here. Verizon says they don’t offer services at my condo in Port Charlotte.  Anyone know why?  

I am next contacting my state to see why the limitations unless I get a much better rate.  I am feeling hijacked.  I am a senior with likely income too high for $30 credit, yet still struggling to pay this bill each month. Never had ANY company come close to this rate at any location before now.
