Getting 6 Mbps for $17.50 from ATT

I called ATT and said my internet is just too slow and I think I'm going to try Comcast. She then transferred me to the retention dept. and I told that rep I'm thinking of going with Comcast cuz they're cheaper. She said ATT don't want to lose me and then looked up her system and lo and hold said they have a promo where I can get the 6 Mbps service at 50% off for next six months for $17.50 and I said done deal. It's only 2.50 more than what I'm paying now for basic 750 kbps. Man, can't wait to stream Netflix movies at 6 Mbps.

You just have to call them and ask. If you don't try you'll never get the discount. Don't be afraid to do this. Many people have done it and got it. They have a whole department (retention) set up just waiting for you to call so that they can give you that great deal. So what are you waiting for, pick up the phone and start saving some money and surf the net at lightning speed. Don't forget to set a reminder to call them in 6 months to get off that deal. Hopefully by then they will have another deal.

Update:
Seems like they will just give you 50% off of your current rate at your current level of service. I went over to a friends house to do this for her because she was unable to pull it off maybe due to her language problem and the rep asked what are you paying currently. I told her $25 and was offered 50% off for 6 months, $12.50 a month.
