Discounts are out there, how good a negotiator are you?
I went the "I'm considering offers from your competitors" route after getting to retention.
The rep was quite willing to work with me. I am currently TC Plus, HD, DVR, HBO and Extra Pack for $113.85/mo (free HD Pack promo just ended.)
I was able to negotiate $30 off per month for 12 months ($20 "loyal customer" and $10 for HD fee), plus get the whole house DVR installed for free WITH NO CONTRACT since I already have all of the needed equipment and am out of contract.
The MRV adds $3/month to the bill, so my net savings are $27/mo. for the next year.
I'm happy and will be around for along time. Thanks for all the advice in the forum.
