Wow that is great. We called but could only get it down $10 a month plus an extra $10 for the next three months. $70 a month is amazing. Did you cut back on your services?

I can't imagine a $200 bill just for phone/internet/cable! That's crazy!!! Glad you got it down. I've seen ads for those bundles for $100 a month but I'm so cheap even that is too high for me! LOL We went without cable for the past 7 years but I finally got dh direct tv since it was just a little more and it's only $30 a month. Our high speed internet is $35 a month and we don't use a land line, just our cell phones.

It never hurts to call, all they can say is no. Now you have to remember to call back in a year and tell them you'll leave if they change the price. I write dates down 2 weeks before the promo date to give myself some time in case they say no....and we've never been denied an intro price for another year!
