Lately, I hadnt had as much luck with their live chat team.

Then again, maybe they read that post and decided to toughen up the live chat team. Sure, I could get rid of cable completely. But college and pro football is right around the corner and Im an addict So I decided to go back to my old method of getting a Comcast discount a good ole fashion phone negotiation. Before I go into the negotiation and what the result was, Ill first highlight what my package and price was Digital Basic Cable with HD DVR 8. Blast Cable Internet 2.

Its the technique that works, not the pricing specifics. Ill now walk you step by step how I was able to get that down to 8. I picked up the phone and called Comcasts customer service number 1 8. I state disconnect service when prompted by the automated voice prompts.

This is the price we offer new customers. Me Yeah, but I dont need more channels. Do you have a package with less cable channels I dont need that many. Comcast Rep Let me check. We do not, but I can cut the 1. DVR fee to bring your total to 7. Charizard Pokemon Card Value 2Nd Edition here. Would you like to do this Me Are you sure you dont have any cheaper packages Comcast Rep Yes. Me OK, please make the switch. Comcast Rep OK, we can add on digital voice for 3. Me No thanks I have Ooma digital phone service, and its free. Score another one vs. Comcast customer service. I Saved 3. 0 I was able to cut 3. Comcast has since upped their speeds, with one simple call. Over six months, it will save me 2. I will negotiate again. Stay Congenial.
