said by pnh102:A lot of people (myself included) have been able to wring discounts out of broadband providers by either threatening to cancel or threatening to switch to other providers. Does this not count as a "hidden broadband price war?"
i'd have to say no it doesn't. i've threatened to cut off service before and they just send me packing no retention nothing. at least nothing that added value to what i was already overpaying for. usually they would throw in a few months of a free movie channel or something like that and call it a $200 savings. but the thing is, i would've never had the movie channel to begin with so i wasn't saving anything. too much greed and not enough value.
