Extending introductory rates on Cable/Internet plans? Any tricks?

[Kartel13]

I've got Charter internet and my introductory rate of 29.99 just expired and jumped up to $45. Thinking of jumping to time warner for their 34.99 deal since it will save me $10 per month. Has anyone had any luck haggling or should I jump ship to a cheaper rate?

I live alone so I'm trying to save that $$ as much as I can

thoughts?

Threatening to cancel these days is blowing smoke. They know you 9/10 won't becaue work you cannot. Unless you have a legimitite offer or competition, they most likely won't budge.

Charter doesn't extend their promotions. You have to cancel and come back after the month period. The used to extend them but stopped a few years ago.

internet cant really help you on, but when I lived with a friend he just switched from direct tv to dish, dish to direct, direct to dish, etc every 2 years when the offer ran out.

Worked all the time for me. The cable internet prices haven't really changed much unless you bundle it with TV, which I refuse to do.

Paying for Cable TV in almost 2015 is crazy

doing a cable switch isn't worth it to save a mere $10, cuz u gotta deal with the hassle of scheduling another appointment and returning the old equipment. most times you gotta threaten to quit. I know for me, I have had comcast for over 10 years and keep a credit balance on my account, so when I start bytching about my rates every year or so, they usually send me to retentions to get some kinda deal.
