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.
AT&T certainly knows how to take advantage of their customers. Last year, they started charging users to protect their privacy. Basically, if a customer did not wish to be spied on and wanted to opt out of AT&T's Internet Preferences Program, AT&T charged them upwards of $800/year. In other words, AT&T put a very steep price on privacy.
After widespread criticism, AT&T stopped charging a privacy fee, but now that their merger is on the verge of approval, the company stated that the highly controversial charge may, in fact, return.
Although AT&T Senior Vice President Bob Quinn said in a recent interview that this policy will give customers more control and it is simply an “ad-supported Internet service,” this new pricing system actually gives consumers less control. It's hard enough trying to understand the cost of privacy and what is at stake, try navigating the plethora of options to find the opt-out function.
With less regulatory oversight than ever, other companies may consider exploring this option. As is often the case with telecommunications companies, the consumer is usually the victim of unethical business practices.
