Got a 3 year plan with twice the speed and supposedly much better Wi-Fi equipment for the house, supplied as part of the package, for about 40-50 bucks less a month then I'm paying with Spectrum.

Drawback - Spectrum is holding my landline telephone number hostage, so I'm going to have to change that, which will be a PITA.

We'll see how the installation goes. I also have underground cables from the road to the house, so not sure if that will cause problems with the install.

Many times you will have to ask for a supervisor to get the discounted rate.
