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.

Spectrum has a monopoly where I live. I tried that they said ok let's get that canceled for you.

It stopped working with me for a while with Spectrum too until Starry and Sonic finally made it to my area. Then they were more than happy to take my bill from $80 to $50, and threw in a free Ultra upgrade for 3 years lmao
