You must have no other ISP's in your area.

Yea, last time I tried the "threaten to leave" bluff, they put me on hold for a bit, leaving me with my thoughts: "Allright--I'll be getting that sweet promotional deal again!" And then the rep came back onto the call saying "OK, sir, we have canceled your service as you requested. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Doh.

It sounds like the Cable ISPs might be catching on to the game and stopping it.

So then wait a few hours and call back and now you're a new customer!
