About two years ago when we moved into our new home, we signed up for cable TV, cable internet and voice over IP. The cable co. was offering all 3 services for $99 per month for a year, which is a pretty decent deal. I was able to squeeze one more year out of them by trying to cancel my voice over IP service. We don't really use our land line phone since we already have two cell phones that we use and pay for.

I recently canceled the VOIP, and was now paying regular price for all of the services which comes to about $130 per month. I was pretty bummed. That's an extra $360 per year. Until one day, well several days actually of getting calls from a strange phone number. I actually picked up one day and found it was cable company offering the 3 package deal again for $99 per month.

I took the deal, but they'll have to come back out to the house to check on the set up, which is free. That made my week...
