If you are respectful and polite about it, you stand a better chance at being successful. Plus, you also are buying accessories, cables or cases for the electronic item, you can ask for a bundle price for all your purchases. Simply ask “I’m buying all these items. Is this the best price I can get today?” The worst they can say is no, and you might be pleasantly surprised. […]

Thanks for the example of a call to get cheaper rates. I think that the best thing to do is compare different companies. That way, you can see what would be the best plan for you individually.

#1 Always ask if there are any specials, or income related discounts such as Low Income Cable programs.

#2 – Competition is your friend! Find out if there are 2 or more cable companies in your area. If so, compare prices and promotional specials. One might give you free movie channels, another may give you a gift card worth hundreds of dollars. Be sure to shop for the best deals possible.

I would assume that Dish (satellite) is always a competitor for the US because they have multiple satellites?? If not, I would fall back on the financial issues, trying to save money, etc.

Remember, keep in your back pocket that you will have to check with “someone else” to make sure it is OK. This could be boyfriend, girl friend, spouse, etc. You can play the “good-cop” / “bad-cop” role. Dear “retention specialist”, “I really love your service, but my partner is forcing me to lower bills to pay off our debt, what can you do for me here?” This helped me to get a quick additional $5 off per month even though “others” said they could not take off any more.

-Good luck!!

Comcast is the only one in our area…? Thoughts?
