I just looked into CenturyLink. In my area I can get 3mbps (yes, you read that right, 3. As in, three.) for $50/month.

I'm thinking I'll stick with my 100mbps Xfinity wifi for $50/month. And when the year is up and they tell me my rates are going up because the promotional period is over, I'll give them a call and have another conversation with them.

Conversation is:

So, you're going to raise my rates because the promotion is over. However, I see there's a promotion for new subscribers, for the same rate I'm paying now. So here's what we're going to do:

I'll cancel my service. And then, I'll sign up as a new customer on the promotional rate.

OR

You can just adjust my plan to extend the promotion another year, and save us all a lot of inconvenience.

They adjust my plan, like they did last year, and one extra hour's work per year results in no rate increase.
