Cable/Net bill came today - $29.00 higher ... Maybe i just don't get it?

call them up to cancel it and they do not want to cancel anyone so they might offer to lower or give a promotional rate. If they don't, cancel it and wait for a promotion.

That is what my mom does for her and my dad's service and it works and she has not had to cancel it for real even once. They raise the bill because they can but if someone calls them on it, its suddenly negotiable.

Myself, this is the precise reason I don't have cable but only a DVD player and as Mr. Rob said .....raid the 3 and 5 dollar bins at Wal-Mart or entertain-mart.
