Cutting Cable: getting a discount

This is Part 2 in my Cutting Cable adventure. My Time Warner bill is $250 per month. My plan is to cut the bill.

Over the weekend I called Time Warner and asked for a discount. I was told there are no promotional deals available for me. The problem was that I was talking to someone over the phone. I wasn't standing at the counter with my cable boxes telling them to cut my channel subscription.

Well, that is what I did today. I fully intended to return the cable boxes and drop my channels to 1 through 100 - something that would have save around $45 per month.

Amazingly, today I qualified for a promotional discount! Not only will my cable bill drop $61 per month, but I get it prorated so that my next bill will an additional $34 cheaper.

How about that?

Of course, this doesn't stop my plans of cutting the cable. I am continuing with plans to drop the phone service, followed by getting rid of the Internet modem rental, and then so will look at satellite offers to see if I can find something to beat cable.
