Want to Save Money?

Here is a tip, in case you are sick and tired of spending a ton of money on cable/phone/internet.

I called Rogers a few months ago to cancel my cable. They kept insisting that they could make me happy with discounts. So, after agreeing to some discounts, I ended up saving 35 bucks a month on all three services. They removed access fees, modem rental fees, and gave me a discount on all services for 12 months.

Fast forward to yesterday. I called to cancel my home phone. It's like they will try every trick in the book to keep me from removing any service. Four months ago, my phone was $31.00/mth. They adjusted fees and then it was $21.00/mth. When I called yesterday and told them I didn't really need it as my cell phone plan was fantastic, he kept offering me more and more.

Now, I pay a measly 10 bucks for my phone.

Times are tough with this recession. All companies are feeling it.

Try calling your provider (Bell, Rogers, Cogeco) and tell them you "don't really need your service" and guaranteed, they will try to keep your business. I wouldn't suggest threatening to leave, just make it sound like you are indifferent to having the service in the first place.

You'll save a ton of money and everyone is happy in the end.
