Small bit of a hassle, but it's nice when you get half of your monthly bill (or more) knocked off for the next 6+ months, plus free movie channels and stuff. Once those 6 months are up, call back and play the game again. 

I'm getting Sunday Ticket this year for a little over $10 a month. It'll be like $50-60ish total for it over 5-6 months, rather than the normal $300 ($50 a month) total over that span.

They weren't interested in any of that this time. Nothing they could do, they said. It really doesn't matter to me, I don't watch much TV anyway, I only had it for football. And to be honest, I'm really not all that interested in that anymore.

That's [BLEEP] and why you tell them you want to talk to somebody higher up, or just hang up and call back. Chances of you getting the same person again on a call back is slim. 

I do it every 6 months or so, when my bill is about to spike back up. I've even had them tell me to call back again in 6 months to see what kind of benefits I could get after the current ones ran out.

But yea I hear you. There's only a handful of things I watch on TV these days anymore as well. Mostly just have it for NFLN, ESPN for College Football and Sunday Ticket when it's that time of the year. I live in Washington State so it's hard to get anything Jags related over here. I stream some stuff, but I live pretty far out in the country and my internet is garbage. So that makes streaming live events a bit of a hassle/headache. Dealing with buffering, or finding a stream with low enough quality to watch without constant buffering is very annoying.
