"Well, you've NEVER paid the regular rate". Ya, I'm pretty smart, lady. Thanks. I used to have better luck going directly INTO the cable offices and talking to a human being, but they are not bending lately. I ended up cutting out the extra sports package and Showtime, and my bill is now $109/month. It's still too much, but unfortunately they are the only cable provider around here. I'm hoping AT&T adds service here and SOON!
That's interesting they let you do it, do you mind telling me who the provider is. When I mentioned the "ad rates" I was told new customers only. I thanked them for appreciating my 16 year loyalty..ok I was snarkey!

Sounds like I am far from alone in this boat!
