Bundle Package

**banana** · 03-29-2007, 08:18 AM

I just wanted to share this. I have bundled service for my phone, cable and internet. I am very happy with the company that I now have. However, a competitor rang my doorbell yesterday, asked what services I had, I told him. He claimed that he could save me $40 a month by switching but that he would have to go back to his office to write everthing up. I said ok if you can beat the price I would consider switching. In the meantime, I called up my current provider, told them I was solicitated (?) and asked them if they could lower my price since the other company said I could save $40 a month. Well after several minutes on hold, they not only lowered my price by $40 a month but also threw in a month for free! It gets even funnier, the competitor called me last night and gave me his price and believe it or not it was $5 more a month than I was originally paying, lol. I asked him what happened to the $40 a month savings? and he said that was the best he could do. I told him thanks but no thanks I am sticking with what I have.

I thought this might be helpful to someone who is looking to lower their monthly bills. It worked for me. PS: the $40 reduction per month is valid for a whole year!

I am now doing the happy dance!

We just switched back to cable from satellite and saved about the same.

The deal is for a year.

WTG! That is a great savings. You can't beat over $500 in savings (including your free month

) for the year. You are a frugal master

Banana, can you pm me and tell me what company your talking about? I would love to know how you did it and get a savings with your current bundled provider.

What a great deal

Good for you for striking up a deal. Wonder why that other guy changed the price to higher than what you're paying.

**banana** · 03-29-2007, 02:40 PM

Well he really didnt change the price. He asked me what services we had and said he could save me $40 a month but never asked me what my monthly bill was.
