Although I hate Paul Harvey, I'm too lazy to reach my arm over 12 inches and switch the radio to iPod and avoid him. Anywhoo, the other day they were talking about a guy that saved money on cable, phone, etc. by calling a renegotiating his pricing on said services. Just for shits and grins I called my cable company (Comcast) and told them that times are tight at the job, sales are slow, etc. Then I told them that I was going to call DishNetwork and DirectTV but I didn't really want to go through the hassel. I bottom-lined them and said, "What's the best you can do for me so that I don't have to do all this legwork?" Low and behold: They cut my rate by 30%!

I hate to be a n00b and be making a new thread, but I encourage TFPers to give it a shot. May the force be with you.

PM me if you have more questions.
