Talk my internet bill down from $113.90 to $70.90 a month

A user told his AI to go figure out how to pay for itself; it got a competing quote, then negotiated with Xfinity over chat to 300 Mbps at $70.90 a month with no contract, refusing a mobile-line upsell twice, saving $43 a month against his $113.90 October bill. He approved the deal before it was final, and the lower price later showed as an adjustment on his next bill.

$43a month

How it works

  1. Owner tells bot to pay for itself
  2. Bot gets a competing provider quote for the address
  3. Bot negotiates with Xfinity by chat
  4. Bot refuses the mobile line twice and holds out for no contract
  5. Owner approves the final $70.90 terms
  6. Bot checks the next bill to confirm the price applied

Why it’s worth knowing

The bot used a rival quote as leverage and said no to the upsell twice, like a seasoned negotiator.
