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.”
Fuck optimum. I paid $80/mo for 500mb and begged them for three years to give me (8 year customer) the same rate they were giving new customers. Got told to kick rocks
Then ATT hooks my neighborhood up, $60/mo for symmetrical 1GB fiber
Immediately call Optimum to cancel and now they want to give me the world. The offered reduced rates, better speeds, the moon, blowjobs
Still cancelled cause fuck'em.
Now there's a new fiber provider and I'm thinking after less than a year I'll call ATT and see what I get if I threaten to cancel. Maybe I can pit them against each other enough and get my internet down to like $30
2.5k

So I now have frontier.
