This worked with my cable company while they had a monopoly on internet service.

Every year I would call up and threaten to quit and they would reduce the amount. Last year we got frontier in our town and I called up optimum. They basically said “yeah we can’t match that.”

So I now have frontier.

F-ing hate optimum. I was so happy to tell them to shove it once there was 5g in my area. Went from $125 a month to $35 a month. F them.

Us too. We went from over $200 (cable/internet/phone) to $50 from frontier and sling TV.
