I did the same with Verizon a few months ago. Reduced my bill and doubled my speed!

I honestly could not believe how easy it was - spent a bunch of time anxious about making the call (in case I had to negotiate or cancel) and then in the end it was basically just - can you reduce my bill? Yes? OK thanks...

Verizon had no interest in negotiating with me. They offered a small discount on a two-year lock in, and that was all.

The difference may be in place. I have only Verizon and Comcast on offer, and I'd switched to Verizon because Comcast was literally unusable. (Their ancient coax network was failing hard.)

I think it was their Christmas/end-year promotion. I recall that it explicitly mentioned it was for new and existing customers. When I called, I got directed to another page than what I was looking at.

BTW, I'm in Pittsburgh, with the same Verizon and Comcast choice.
