Re: contract coming to an end...question I find that Its best to do it over the phone with the retention department telling them you might switch to another provider.

Does that really make a difference anymore? I'd love to know what percentage of people actually do make a switch after threatening. A friend of mine was having problems with Cablevision and threatened to switch if they wouldn't lower her rates. They said, "Ok, sorry to see you go".
When I call I simply ask for a better deal and they always do something for me. |

Cablevision reps often look up order numbers for FiOS, so they'll call your bluff on the threat of switching, but then cave if you actually have an order number to verify you're switching. Of course, you can cancel the FiOS order at anytime.

This assumes you're porting the phone number out so they can look to see if there's a record pending.
There's one thing I'll never do unless I'm actually going to do it. Never use the D word until you're serving papers. It'll never work afterwards if you change your mind. |

| In order to use that site one would have to give CV the order number and zipcode, without it they would be unable to see any details. |
