I used to work for a cable company, and in general, we were happy to discount for people who called in and gave a story about times being tight, and planning to switch. A paying customer is better than no customer (as long as you are making some money).
A few things to make sure of, if you've missed payments, or are notorious for calling in all the time and screaming and yelling at support reps this will be documented on your account and the less likely it will be a rep will be willing to work with you.
If the economy continues like this for a while I could see shopping stateside becoming more like shopping in a market in a third-world country. Threaten to take your money to the store across the street and the prices will start dropping.
