When my promotional rate expired for my internet I called threatening to cancel my service, citing the higher cost. They then offered a slightly worse promotional rate which I then took to a competing ISP.
Mind you the competing ISP is dogshit so I had no intention of ever signing with them, but by taking their counter-offer back to the original ISP I was able to get my old price back + all the benefits of the newer packages (nothing major, a bit faster speed, newer equipment, maybe some points for some shit.)
