How I Saved Over $220 On My Cable/Internet Bill

Sometimes you save money without even meaning to. Yesterday, I did just that by pitting two companies against each other to save $220 in about 10 minutes. I have a pretty average Cable/Internet plan with Company A of $50/month. I decided to look at some new promotional pricing at Company B to get a PVR and more channels. At first glance, Company B was offering additional channels, a PVR and slightly faster Internet for $40/month for the first year. This seemed like a great improvement, so I was almost ready to make the switch. I dug a little deeper and found out that that pricing was only good for 1 year, and following that, the promotional price would double to $80/month. Hmm… Knowing that plenty of people were switching to Company B, I decided to test out my negotiation skills and call my current provider. I asked to talk about cancelation and they immediately offered us a free PVR, additional channels and double the Internet speed… for the same price we were paying! Some Quick Math: ****Current Provider over 2 years: $50 x 24 = $1200 Potential Provider over 2 years: ($40 x 12) + ($80 x 12)
