If you are still in the population of people who pay for cable TV, and I know that many more people are considering switching to gettign content from the internet, netflix or other non-cable sources, then you need to call your cable company and ask for a lower rate. I did, today, and got one. Step 1- call your provider. Step 2- select the options in the seemingly endless robot customer service system for "cancel or reduce service" Step 3- when the real live perosn you eventually talk to asks if there's anything they can do to keep you as a customer, explain that you just can't afford to keep it anymore, and wait for them to make you an offer. If they do... you're in business! Bargain them down to whatever rate new customers are getting theses days, which you can find on their website. If they don't make you an offer off the bat, ask them if there's any way to get a lower rate, by cancelling some channels, getting a "bundle" or something, then mention the competitive rates of your local satelite or alternative company or the rates being gotten by your company's new customers.
I have used this method each of the three or four times our "introductory" discounted rate expired with Comcast and have gotten reinstatement of the "discount" or an even lower rate each time.
Good Luck!
