Peabo Bryson's Latest Album Slashes Streaming Costs, But Your Internet Bill Just Doubled—Here's How to Protect Your Wallet
If you're a fan of Peabo Bryson's smooth new album, you might be thrilled it's available for less than your morning coffee on streaming platforms—but don't pop the champagne yet. That streaming bargain comes with a hidden sting: major internet providers are quietly hiking your monthly bill by an average of $15 to $25, effectively eating any savings from your music subscription. Consumer advocates warn that while artists like Bryson are finally lowering prices to compete with bootlegs, your ISP is using traffic surges from streaming as an excuse to jack up rates. The fix? Switch to a municipal broadband provider or bundle your streaming services through a single discount plan, which can cut your total costs by 40%. Before you stream that live duet, check your last internet statement—you might be paying double for the privilege of saving a buck on tunes.
