I just saved almost 50% on my AT&T U-verse TV / Voice / and Internet service.
No, they don't promote this. And no this is not a bail-out. And no, this is not part of Mr. Obama's promise of change.
You just have to call 800-288-2020 and ask for a discount by telling them you are thinking of switching to your local cable or satellite provider.
U-verse Voice went from $35 to $25
U-verse 400 went from $99 to $59
Yahoo Broadband Elite went from $30 to $10
My bill went from $164 to $94 per month by just asking.
Another tactic: if you're a guy, tell them you're wife thinks you watch too much TV and the family has to save money so AT&T's gotta go.
And if you're a gal, tell them your man done left you--- or just come up with a Jerry Springer like story saying that you gotta cut back on the household overhead.
I am in San Antonio and your market may vary, but press hard and you just might wind up with some pretty amazing savings. I did not cut back on services.
Note: the deal they offered was only for six months. I told them to note it on my record that I was going to call back in May to ask for the same thing again.
Tell them Alan from 3Screens sent you.
