Hi, this is Ava from Vanta.

So whether you're a startup going for your first stock two or ISO-27,001,

or a growing enterprise managing vendor risk, Banta makes it quick, easy, and scalable,

and I'm not to say that because I work here. Get started today at banta.com.

It's great to have you here on the Clark Howard Show. You know, our mission is to serve you with advice and information that empowers you to make better financial decisions in your life.

Today, you know, I love competition and there's yet more coming to your home internet this is the kind of

thing that's money that's so easy for you to grab and coming later talking

about grabbing money from you in a blink the scamsters are getting worse and worse and worse.

And you think, oh, I'm too sophisticated. I'd never get taken by a scammer. People of all

income levels, all walks of life are getting taken. And I want to just give you some examples of

what you should be looking for, not those

specific things, but how the patterns work to protect yourself. That's coming later.

So got to notice yesterday from my home internet service telling me that they were going up five bucks what's that my invitation to do

well that's my invitation to bolt to go to their competition and see what i can get and then change

internet service it's not that hard but there's something I want you to think

a little wider outside the box. It's no longer just going to the Monopoly Local Phone Company

or the cable monster and playing one against the other. That's the old game, that's small ball.

The big game now is more and more players are offering wireless internet.
