    Nothing tricky or illegal. I simply looked up the competitors of my ISP and checked their prices, I noticed several of them offering better prices, I called my ISP and told them that they got to give me a better offer or I'm leaving them, later that day they called me up and told me what I wanted to hear. Simple as that. :)

    I can confirm that this can and does work. I saw a poster for a new service at least as good as mine but cheaper so I called my customer service and they were helpful and they cut the cost of my package with no negotiation from me at all.

    Now I believe you, but I don't think it will work in all ISP or all countries. Thanks for sharing your story!

    The customer service of my ISP bsnl is very poor. I called them 5 to 6 times to change my line, it has some problems and that is affecting my connection..But they never came into my house as they promised..Every time they are giving fake promises..Now i need to apply your trick and see how it goes..:)
