Billshark is a bill negotiation service that lowers recurring costs for internet, wireless, cable TV, satellite radio, and home security without interrupting service. Customers upload a bill, our experts analyze line items, spot fees, and promotions, then negotiate directly with providers. The model is performance-based: if there are no savings, there is no fee. Communication is handled through secure channels with SMS and email updates, and renewal monitoring keeps rates low over time. Businesses use Billshark for bulk wireless plans and multi-location internet, while households rely on us to remove unwanted add-ons, secure loyalty discounts, and catch overcharges. Typical outcomes include reduced equipment fees, better promotional pricing, and credits for billing errors, all while keeping accounts in the customer's name. You can submit multiple bills at once, track status, and benefit from negotiations completed in days or weeks depending on the provider's response. What Billshark does step by step: collect your latest statement, review every fee, identify promotions, loyalty credits, and competitive offers, call the provider, negotiate to a lower monthly rate, confirm changes, and report savings. Common wins include lowering equipment rental charges, removing unused add-ons like premium channels or device protection, applying promo bundles, correcting billing errors, and securing contract extensions with better terms. The service covers major carriers and regional providers across the US, including cable internet, fiber, DSL, wireless plans, satellite radio subscriptions, and monitored home security systems. Why the performance-based model matters: there are no upfront fees, no retainers, and no payments unless savings are verified on your bill. Billshark aligns incentives with customers by only charging a percentage of realized savings. This approach encourages thorough negotiations, transparent reporting, and clear communication about what changed on your account. Customers keep control of their accounts and can decline any proposed change that does not fit their needs. Security and privacy: bills are uploaded through encrypted channels, stored securely, and managed by trained negotiation specialists. Personally identifiable information and account credentials are handled with care and not shared outside the negotiation process. Renewal monitoring helps avoid surprise price hikes when promotional periods end. SMS and email notifications keep customers informed about progress, approvals, and completed savings. Who benefits: households looking to cut monthly costs without switching providers, businesses managing multiple locations or large wireless fleets, and anyone tired of long calls with customer service. Billshark helps renters, homeowners, students, retirees, and small business owners who need predictable bills and want to avoid paying for unused services. Multi-bill submissions are welcome; the team sequences negotiations to maximize total savings. Typical timelines: many negotiations complete within a few days; some providers require one or two billing cycles to apply credits. Customers can check status anytime and receive confirmation of the new rate, credits applied, and the one-time performance-based fee. Example savings scenarios: negotiating a $20 monthly reduction on cable internet by switching to a loyalty rate, removing a $10 equipment fee by returning unused hardware, applying a $15 promotional credit for 12 months on a wireless plan, or securing a $200 one-time credit for repeated outages. For businesses, savings may include bulk plan optimization, pooled data plans, and reduced overage charges across multiple lines. Frequently asked questions answered: Do you cancel service? No, the goal is to keep service active while lowering cost. Do you require contracts? No, you authorize negotiations and pay only if we save you money. Can you work with bundled services? Yes, we negotiate bundles and stand-alone plans. How often should I submit bills? Annual submissions or before promo expirations keep rates low. What if my provider says no? We escalate, retry with additional offers, or confirm that the current rate is already optimized. Getting started is simple: create an account, upload clear photos or PDFs of your bills, and confirm contact preferences. Billshark takes it from there, handling calls, documenting offers, and presenting results. The service was designed to be easy, transparent, and risk-free for every customer looking to pay less for the same service.
Billshark negotiators specialize in reducing bills by combining rate analysis, provider outreach, and transparent reporting. They review service tiers, equipment charges, taxes, surcharges, and promotional eligibility. They compare current plans to loyalty offers and new customer incentives, then present providers with options to maintain service while lowering cost. For wireless accounts, they often optimize data pools, remove legacy fees, and secure device credits. For cable or internet, they can reduce modem rentals, remove unused premium packages, and apply retention offers. For satellite radio, they pursue promotional pricing, loyalty credits, and seasonal discounts. Customers appreciate Billshark because the work is done for them: no long phone calls, no waiting on hold, and no need to renegotiate every year alone. The process starts with a bill upload; within a few days the team provides status updates, proposed changes, and the estimated savings. After customer approval, savings are applied directly to the account and reflected on future statements. The only cost is a percentage of the verified savings, reinforcing a risk-free, performance-based model. Billshark supports individuals, families, small businesses, and larger organizations. Multi-location businesses benefit from coordinated negotiations that consider volume and contract terms. Households save on recurring subscriptions and avoid creeping price increases. Students and retirees value the ability to keep their existing service while spending less. The platform is built to be secure and simple: encrypted uploads, limited access to sensitive data, and clear audit trails of every negotiation attempt.
Last month, President Donald Trump signed a bill repealing rules that had been passed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) under the Obama administration to protect the privacy of Internet users.
Those rules would have required companies to get customers’ permission before selling their personal information to marketers. Such data as health and financial information, geographic location, apps used, and websites visited are a literal goldmine to marketers who want to pinpoint potential customers for their wares.
Republicans and industry officials complained that these rules were unfair, because rivals such as Google and Facebook aren’t bound by them. As Sally Greenberg, Executive Director of the National Consumers League, wrote recently in The Huffington Post, the comparison is false. “It is far easier for consumers to simply not use services like Facebook or Google than it is for them to avoid using an Internet service provider (ISP).”
The repeal of these rules should come as no surprise given an article in the newspaper The Hill, which last month reported that three of the largest telecom companies—AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast—collectively spent a total of $11.2 million during the first three months of the year, according to disclosure forms filed to Congress.
Of the three telecom giants, AT&T spent the most during the period, the paper said, handing out $4.6 million on lobbying. Comcast and Verizon spent $3.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
“These guys spend a fortune in D.C., they’re very plugged in on the Hill and this was clearly their priority,” Craig Aaron, president of the consumer-advocacy group Free Press, told the Associated Press.
According to the money-influence research group Center for Responsive politics, the overall lobbying total for telecom and telephone companies in 2016 surpassed $123 million, making them one of the highest-spending lobbying groups in Washington. The opposition—various privacy and consumer groups—spent just over $1 million.
Speaking to the Associated Press, Dallas Harris, a policy fellow at Public Knowledge which organized against the privacy repeal, said, “It’s the classic story where the side with more money has more influence here.”
Indeed it is. Even though the Obama-era rules had not yet taken effect, The New York Times wrote, “The new FCC rules would have given consumers stronger privacy protections—without such restrictions, Internet providers may decide to become more aggressive with data collection and retention.”
Your personal information is worth literally billions to ISPs and other sites (such as Google and Facebook) who collect it, and to the advertisers who purchase it. How fair is it that not only do you not make a dime off your own data—which, by the way, you pay them to collect (through your monthly ISP bill)—but that you can’t even control who gathers it, compiles it, and sells it?
As if these issues weren’t enough to catch your attention, what about the hacking issue? Sally Greenberg reminded readers of the recent Yahoo! data breach that compromised as many as 1.5 billion users’ names, email addresses, telephone numbers, encrypted and unencrypted security questions and answers, dates of birth, and encrypted passwords. “As bad as those breaches were, they only affected the users of one online service,” she wrote. “Now imagine what the fallout would be if a similar hack had occurred at a major ISP, which now has the ability to collect practically any data sent over its networks.” Imagine, indeed.
Billshark will continue to highlight such issues, because our whole purpose is to look out for the consumer—meaning you!
