I have DirecTv and we are no longer under a contact, and we have a cheap package they no longer offer. I call every six months and inform them of the new customer specials DishNetwork is running (6 months at $29.99, then jumping up to $45-50), and I get a $5 credit every month for six months - bringing our bill down to $32. I've been doing this for well over a year and it takes less than 10 minutes to do. I also got a lower rate ($29.99, indefinetely) for my DSL, even though I was under contract at $34.99. That took some talking, but it was worth it since I only had to do it once. I do this as well. I have DirecTv and we are no longer under a contact, and we have a cheap package they no longer offer.

With how much they spend getting a new customer, charging you $20 less is nothing to them. Good stuff.
