I’ve been seeing so many aggressive promos lately from the big providers, basically throwing cash or gift cards at anyone willing to jump ship. It feels like we've entered this weird cycle where the "deal" is the only reason people are even looking at their monthly bills anymore.
A few years ago, I stayed with my provider for nearly a decade just because I couldn't be bothered to deal with the headache of a technician coming to the house or the hassle of returning old hardware. Now, it feels like the loyalty tax is so high that you almost *have* to jump around every year just to avoid getting ripped off. It’s exhausting.
I can't help but wonder if these massive sign-up bonuses are actually sustainable, or if they just end up inflating the base prices for everyone else six months down the line. It feels like a shell game.
Do you guys actually bother switching when these offers pop up, or is the hassle of changing service usually more trouble than the extra cash is worth?
