What changes the real cost

The bill is the source of truth. These are the details BillGutter checks before turning a possible savings path into a safer next step.

Package rate

The package name and speed tier explain whether the bill is high because of service level or because pricing changed.

Promotion timing

Introductory pricing can expire without the user noticing until the monthly total jumps.

Equipment and bundle charges

Router, TV, phone, and package charges should be separated before deciding what to change.

Service period

Partial months and prorations can make the current bill a poor baseline.

What to watch out for
