I have comcast cable, HD, DVR, and cable modem. It's gotten to be darned expensive, even with a 'grandfathered' package pricing, of $160+tax.
I've been eyeing Dish TV or one of the ATT packages (I don't look at DirecTV because of personal politics) which seem much cheaper. I heard they'll make an effort to lower the price because of that. In the past when I asked, they would not, and today they person wouldn't either, but this time I actually asked to speak to the person about how to cancel, and that person did make an offer.
They reduced my premium channels from HBO/Starz/Cinemax to two of my choice, but the price went from $160 before tax to $114 before tax, for 12 months, a nice savings.
I'm not required to stay with them 12 months, I can cancel.
I thought I'd pass along this story in case it helps others get a discount - I've probably wasted over a thousand dollars by not doing it sooner (even more by not switching).
