    You really just have to threaten them with switching in my experience. Then you can often get the same discounts.

      Spectrum capped my threats at 4 years. They refused to negotiate so I cancelled. And committed to that decision.

      Some have figured out that you can threaten but they still won’t budge banking on the status quo bias to keep you with them. Even when faced with competitor pricing they won’t give a discount. Don’t even give them the warning, just leave. Be a well informed consumer.
