I did not have a hassle and they were very pleasant to deal with in person. I simply asked if they have any specials with lower prices. I am paying $50 per month for internet service and that price is locked for two years. At the end of two years, I will be making another trip back to the store to repeat the process.

So here is the problem. No matter how good the service is from the cable company, and although they will give you a "deal" to get your business, they are banking on you forgetting the term of the deal so they can start charging you full price. What normally happens is most people forget and are charged full price for several months. By the time they notice the increase, several months have gone by and the cable company made up most of what they lost giving you that "deal".
If you can get away from the cable company by going with Fiber or wireless from T-Mobile, Verizon and now AT&T, you can take that task to go back and re-negotiate with the cable company off you list of things to do.
