price every year unless you’ve signed up for one of those. However, if you’re not locked in you can renegotiate any time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Yes. They sent me there last time I called and said "I want to lower<br>
my bill". It's all about customer retention. If you are willing to<br>
walk away from Comcast, they can offer some decent incentives to keep<br>
you as a customer.<br>
