Cable Bill Deal

Tweet

Yesterday I received my cable bill in the mail. I opened it up and almost dropped to the floor. My bill went up to over $200.00 per month. I was simply floored. There was no forewarning no nothing. I hadn't changed anything in my service so I was quite peeved at the increase. So, I picked up the phone and gave them a call. I was nice and polite, knowing that you get more cooperation when you are. I let them know that there was no way I could afford to pay this much for cable. They transferred me to someone who could help me get the bill down. She was wonderful. We talked back and forth about the reason my bill went up. apparently a special I had was now expired and I was being billed the full price. She looked around and found me a better deal for less money. I now have the same services, internet, phone, and cable, plus more stations, for about 60 dollars less per month. That's a deal I can live with. Of course, 12 months from now I will probably be receiving a bill for it all at the standard price. I wrote the date down when it expires and will call a couple of weeks before that to arrange another deal. Truthfully, if they couldn't bring that bill down I would have been looking around for a new cable provider. What about you? Would you look for a better deal with a different provider?
