In my area where there is no competition they refuse to do this anymore. I used to do this each year with my cable/internet bundle but whatever I did I could not get them to budge. I ended up canceling my cable, which usually leads to a phone call from some customer rep offering a discount, but it did nothing. I think they are to the point that they don't care in markets where there is no competition.



Just threaten to switch to DISH or DirectTV...should do the trick.


I'm in an area where there's no cable competition, and DSL is crap, (baltimore) so I guess YMMV.
