We pay Comcast for our internet connection, and even their lowest tier (25Mbps) is plenty for our family, even with 4 or more people streaming different videos at the same time. This tier is available for $20/mo for "new" customers. Normally, after a year, the promotional period expires and you start paying full price, which is $40 or $50/mo. Since you're no longer a "new customer," you no longer qualify for the cheaper price.
That is, unless you call and tell them you'd like to cancel. Which is what I did this week. The words "I'd like to cancel my service" magically allow the customer service folks to offer to you the new customer discount for another year. The process repeats yearly.
This year, the phone call took 7 minutes. I saved something like $26/mo, or $312 for the year. In other words, my hourly rate (after taxes) for that phone call was $2,674.
