How to Save on Comcast Cable

If you're like many individuals, you're paying a nice-sized bill each month for cable or satellite TV as well as Internet access. Comcast customers enjoy the benefit of getting both services from the same company. However, depending on what packages you choose, your bill can still end up being quite expensive. There are a few tactics you can use to lower your monthly bill and save money as a Comcast customer.

Instructions

1. Call Comcast's customer service line (1-800-COMCAST) and provide your account information when asked.

2. Ask the representative on the line to lower your bill. Many people will overlook this very basic tactic, but there are times when it'll work. The representative might find a new promotion that you're eligible for, and promotions can save you a lot of money.

3. Find a better deal from a competing company and let the representative know that this company is offering service at a better price. In most cases, the customer service representative will work to lower your monthly bill.

4. Threaten to cancel if you aren't getting anywhere with the representative. Better yet, ask to speak to a retention specialist. These specialists have the power to make deals in order to keep your business.

5. Hang up and call again to try and reach a different representative. Some reps are more willing to work with you than others.
