I pay 550 crowns per month for not the best quality internet. What to do so it's not so painful to live with this?
It so happened that in my house internet was available only from provider O2. Like all Beelines and MTSs, they provide mobile communication, home internet, and lots of other useless crap.
I have a mobile plan from Vodafone, and I hardly use it - I have a work SIM card.
If I had mobile from O2, I would get a 100 crown discount on home internet, but almost nothing connected me with O2.
The only thing I recently knew about them - I went to them for an interview. The position wasn't particularly interesting, they needed a person who would do analytics of some of their genius marketing offer.
The only thing I took from that interview - that it's correct to say not "O-DVA", but "OU-TU". Same with UPC - they're not "U-PE-TSE", but "YU-PI-SI". But Wi-fi is read as "vi-fi". Great and mighty.
Well in short, I remembered this marketing miracle only a month after connection.
The thing is that they provide their customers discounts on various goodies.
Discounts, by the way, are good - for example, 50 crowns for food order on damejidlo, or 25% discount on bus ticket around Europe (I rode on such to Bratislava, which I'll write about soon).
There are also special offers from O2 - for example, the opportunity to buy tickets to Depeche Mode concert before the start of official sales. And that's cool, if you didn't know - tickets are sold out about 5 minutes after the start. That's how it is.
Thanks to this thing I manage to save 100-200 crowns per month. Conclusion - go to interviews more often, don't sit on your ass :)
