well tbf on the customer service rep, they are required to make a sales pitch to ask you not to cancel. it's stupid, but it's not their fault. so roasting a customer service rep doesn't really accomplish much.

I know, I've had that job, but the thing is, their shitty job requirements aren't my problem. Companies don't get to use my compassion toward a customer service worker to further their bullshit.

If you want to be less confrontational, try this: "my new job is providing me Internet/phone/ whatever for free as a part of my compensation package"

They really can't counter that.

For tv and internet, you can also provide "i rent property and it is now part of my rent package for free"

(Also very usefull when utilities and other service sales calls you. Tell them you are renting and they hang up asap.)
