Re: New Years outlook for businesses
@Michelle, yes I am with Comcast but every year I call and ask for promotions and specials. I also remind them that I have been a long-time customer and they lower the price for one year. I have been doing this for the past six years.
However, this year it took three phone calls to get the price lowered to the price I wanted. I save $40 a month on my bill.
Persistence is key when negotiating a lower price or for better service.

New Year Predictions
I am waiting for skinny bundles. This is what customers have wanted all along.
I hope the HDTV's do not go away. I wanted to buy another one. I like them and they are cheaper than UHD TVs.

This was a very insightful article and the predictions were supported by research data which is great.

Re: New Years outlook for businesses
@dc Looking at it that way, I expect to see serious competition brewing for 2017! Service offerings are very similar so price will make the sales (probably).

Re: New Years outlook for businesses
@freehe I didn't even know that was an option! I haven't had cable service in the last 10 years. I'm impressed you've been able to lower your bill just by asking for promotions. Maybe they'll introduce a new pricing structure that keeps your bill at a reasonable rate for longer...

Re: New Years outlook for businesses
I should start doing that! I've been with Comcast for a while now and I love what they offer, but sometimes the prices kill me!

Re: New Years outlook for businesses
@dlr5288 You should. Consider yourself lucky that you even have options. Some people are stuck with one provider in their area. That's like contending with the local power utility - not going anywhere.
Outlook for businesses in the New Year
Where I live I have the opportunity to choose from 2 different providers. They are different from the state I grew up in, but it's at least a choose. There are some people that don't have that. It has some positive opportunities that you are able to compare or hustle between them to get the best promotions for your money.
I did find this article to have some really great informational parts and actually will get people to start thinking about it in 2017

Re: New Years outlook for businesses
Yes true, I am very lucky in that sense! I would hate not having any options...

Re: Outlook for businesses in the New Year
@dchampagne70 You are lucky! Some people don't get a choice. I'm hoping that with things like new wireless technologies there may be the ability in the future to have more choices, but we'll see.
It would be nice, becauce competition means consumers end up paying less for services.
