<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andy Herkimer, post: 2591913, member: 32344&quot;]I agree that it is a fine line.

Now, every year since we started on a special starter rate, they send me an increased bill saying my starter rate has expired. </p><p>Seeing the bill, I call them up and tell them that it is too expensive (often times doubling the bill), they umm and arrr a bit, then tell me what a good deal I am getting. After about five minutes I tell them to forget it, I will cancel the service as it is just not worth that much to me. They then transfer me to a &#039;specialist&#039; to cancel the service. The specialist then tells me to hold on and see if they can find me any &#039;specials&#039;. To cut a long story short, I end up with either the same deal, or sometimes even a cheaper deal. I have had a special each year now for nine years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does it make me unethical for expecting the best deal?

Others go to great lengths to get the best deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
