Call Your Cable Company!

Here's a tip that has worked for me a lot over the years.   Call your cable company.  I have Time Warner and their customer service is consistently excellent.   Every few months call them and just ask if there's anything you can do to lower your bill.

I do this all the time and normally there is some deal or promotion available.  Just this week I switched from HBO to Showtime.  I was paying full price for HBO but I can get Showtime for $9.99 for the next 12 months.  

A few week ago I called and was concerned that my internet bill was getting too high.  I now have a special price for the next 12 months which lowers my internet bill by $20/month.

Recently Time Warner started charging a monthly fee to rent their modems.  I didn't want that extra expense so I got my own modem and returned the Time Warner one.  While I was there I inquired about any current specials.   Just for asking I was able to get 2 DVRs for free for 3 months.

What I have learned over the years of dealing with TWC is that there are usually deals to be had, but you have to ask.  They will never offer them but as long as you ask and the special price is available you will usually find yourself in luck.
