Something like that, I'm sure they dont care as much.

What you should want is offered good deals if you look to cancel your entire package.

Obviously will vary from company to company, and how long you've been a customer, but it's something I did last year. Told them I'm cancelling (I had no intention of actually cancelling, but I knew they have a 2 week notice thing where even if you cancel, it's not official for 2 weeks), and the next day they offered me 50% off my original price.

Only downside was that the new deal took away some TV channels like CW and local channels in other parts of the country which carried other NFL games, but with better internet, that's not an issue.

They already have your data, so they're probably like, "cool, whatever." Plus think about all the people who are bluffing just to get a discount.

My Comcast experience every time my contract is up. Going to be fun this upcoming February.

I don't know, I called during the Spring to just pick up HBO and ended up getting all of the premium channels for free for 3 months. I just asked if they had any deals and they said I could choose bettween HBO free for 3 months, all movie channels free for 3 months, or all movie channels for a year for like $30 bucks/month. The all movie channels deal was a no-brainer, but I only intended on keeping them to watch GOT. I ended up getting lazy and paying for them for two extra months.

Maybe I had just used up all of my "freebies" for the year or something it was just odd to not get any back and fourth at all... It was kind of refreshing but after hanging up I also questioned if I should have at least asked what deals were out there. With that said, I don't really need any more entertainment with the NBA season coming. My first League Pass installment hit my bill this month and that's what sparked the call in the first place

Also, if The Watchmen is good I'll pick HBO back up after a couple of episodes so I can binge them all at once. Maybe I can get a deal then.

re: Off-Topic

At Rite Aid today the girl behind the counter asked if I watch The Office, I said yep, she asked if I've ever been told I look like someone from the show, I said nope. She then stunned me with "Mose" , I tried not to take it as a personal insult, and maybe it's time to shave

Maybe she didn't mean it as one.

Personally, any time a chic: makes eye contact, initiates conversation, or smiles at me I assume she wants the D.
