Summary
If you're Canadian and your phone and internet bill has been quietly creeping up for years, you're not imagining it. Most of us hit a point where we know we should deal with it and then... don't. This episode is about what happens when you finally get fed up enough to actually make the call. We cover: - What finally pushed Sherry to take action (and why loyalty to your provider might be costing you more than you think) - The strategy she used to negotiate with her current provider using a competing offer - Why calling the cancellation department is a completely different experience than calling regular customer service - New Canadian regulations around cell phone switching that are worth knowing before you call - A realistic time breakdown: how much effort this actually takes versus what you can save This one is equal parts relatable rant and genuinely useful strategy. If you've been putting off this conversation because it feels like too much, this episode might just give you the push you need.
