Good Morning everyone, and it's so good to be here without a hassle.  Of course, I am speaking for myself.  DH right now is on line with the company that changed us over, and what they promised at one price they have upped so much that he's threatening to just discontinue the whole thing.  It's ridiculous, as everybody gives him a different answer.  Well, his bp is probably up, and it will be interesting to see how he makes out.  If I disappear again................................aaaaaaaaargh..............................


A good day to everybody, hugs. 

Merry Christmas

Well, be sure DH tells the company that he is thinking of switching, not just you. I saw a piece on TV last week that said just threatening to switch will usually get you a better rate. When we signed up for our internet service, they gave me a price over the phone. As there is an office nearby, I went in, talked to a rep and asked if they had a senior discount. Sure enough, she reduced the rate. It's still the same after 4 years - I figured they'd find a way to jack it up with some computer "error'. Guess they want our business.
