My telecom bill went up by an insane amount, and it turns out that they had me on an internet plan I don't need, plus for some reason quit giving me the discount I'm supposed to get as a resident of this building (the company operates all over Canada and has some nice deals with the telecom at times). My data usage never goes anywhere near 200 GB/month, so why pay extra for unlimited?
The home phone discount had been discontinued, and the agent was sorry, but I'd have to talk to the loyalty retention people about getting it back. He speculated I could talk them down to about $13/month + GST.
What they offered me was FOUR. As in $4/month for the next 24 months. Yes, I took it gladly. So between that, getting rid of the extra for a plan I didn't need, plus a bit of a discount on the TV (dropped the a la carte channels; I don't watch them enough anymore to warrant keeping them), my telecom bill in December and forward will be quite a bit less.
