It all has to with how the Telecommunications Act of 1996 changed the marketplace by allowing phone companies to compete with cable companies (and vice versa) and by allowing each to offer a “bundle” of services. Package, which includes cable, phone and Internet.īut before you make that call, it’s important to understand why cable providers are willing to bargain in the first place. Not that long ago, I knocked about $15 off my basic monthly Time Warner Cable I make such calls about every six months and almost always talk my way into a better deal.
OK, maybe cable isn’t as much a “necessity” as food and water-unless you really, really have to catch “Game of Thrones.” But it’s a basic household expense that can be easily bargained down with a relatively quick call to a customer service rep.
