    Comcast raised my rate my 30% a few weeks ago and I went on a rage filled search for a replacement. The only other providers are either barely usable or starlink.

      Call up, say you want to cancel, because you found a deal with another internet provider for whatever low price you paying originally. After they confirm you’re “sure you want to leave” they’ll offer you the reduced rate in return for you staying on with them. I’ve done it a couple times now, cuts my internet bill in half for like a year

        That used to work. Tried that with Comcast a few months ago; they refused to match AT&T’s price for the same speeds. So I’m with AT&T now.
