I talked to my cable company today to see when my current plan ended (combo phone/net/cable) and told them my net speed was ridiculously slow and the whole package was getting too expensive. They checked and said they could double my net speed (basically taking me from the "light" setting I had with my current plan and giving me the "regular". Splendid. :rolleyes) for about $30 less.
Then she comes back after doing some checking and says that they can't do that plan, but CAN do it for $20 less than my current bill. Fine. Let's do that. She then comes back on the line to tell me about the various FEES not included in the new price, and that it will make my bill a few bucks MORE than what I currently pay. I said no thanks, I was trying to save money, not spend more, and that I'd just wait until my plan was about to end and see what they could do, or what else was out there. Jeez....:facepalm
