Far better to give the CS person a bit of credit - explain that you're feeling the pinch a little (or unhappy with what you're paying) and simply ask if there's anything they can do to reduce your bill, including any discounts or suggestions for bundles.

Similarly, ring to cancel the cancellation and ask if they can knock you anything off your services price.
Fair points

tbh, it didn't even reach the stage where I was actually "threatening to leave" and did state my reasons as; its too expensive and that I am feeling the pinch, but she was just very quick to say thats fine and went ahead with the cancellation

Was I just unlucky with who I got on the other end?

I'll go with your suggestion of honesty as the best policy and ask for a price reduction

Thanks for your help

Thanks for the suggestion, but Its almost the same price, and I'm more concerned about reducing my monthly costs rather than getting more for the same money. I'm happy with what I'm getting, just not the price

Thanks though
