It's not a comeback as you put it, it's the truth. All the company has to say is "no, we won't lower the price." Now if the person is bluffing on leaving then they most likely will remain a customer. If they are not though then that company loses a customer.

Kind of black and white to me.

Not always, but usually they are. I break things down into the simplest form.
It works the other way. The company raises their rate (really without asking though) usually every year. The customer can say "no" and switch to a different service if there is one to be had.

So what do you do for what ever company you work for? What butters your bread?

The trick I learned is to go ahead and leave your current provider, then sign up for another service (which will practically beg you to come to them). Then, after about 2 weeks, call your original provider back and tell them you are thinking about coming back. Then, *they* will beg you to come back and give you an even better deal than you originally hoped for.

I did this and got upgraded to a 10MBps cable deal at the cost of the 3MBps package for the next 12 months.
