![http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5497/moneygrab.jpg](http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/5497/moneygrab.jpg) 1. Call TWalbany and go to billing. 2. Tell them you’ve been getting a lot of FIOS promotion and ask them out right to reduce your bill. 3. Wait 1 minute. 4. Reduced my monthly bill by $30 for the next 12 months. 5. Confirm there is no change in service. 6. Hang up. \> Loot dropped: $360 (your result may very) \> Enjoy loot! :clap ---

Surprised they did, I know a few people who tired this but were basically laughed at because they check to see if FiOS was even in there area yet. Would make since though if FiOS is offered in your area. ---

I stopped down at TWC in person and the guy told me he couldnt give me a discount but he cancelled my old account and started a new one for me so I could take advantage of all the current deals ($66/month for roadrunner and digital cable) so he found a way to save me a stack of cash over the next year anyways. Im suprised more people dont try this. ---

The quality I get with DirecTV is ridiculous compared to TWC, also Movies on demand for DirecTV come in True 1080/24 which is awesome. Plus, their hardware and customer service is fucking awesome ---
