If you spent an hour or two on the phone and in chat, you will get a much better rate. You may have to talk to retention, threatening to leave but you will get a better rate.

It sucks and nobody likes to do it but a few hours of drama will save you $800 or more over the next year. That's a pretty stout ROI.
I agree 100%. If/when I call, I start by asking for the "customer loyality" department. It is always good to have a competitors offer in hand.

Still being a somewhat new full time frog, I have not taken the time to call Comcast to get a better deal. It is getting close to the top. Our friends who left Century Link for Comcast has the triple play package with the X-1 operating system for less than we are paying for our basic service.
