This isn't $85 but I just called the retention dept. for the first time ever and I was pleasantly surprised. My current bill is $136.80 a month for digital, HD sports package, Extreme Internet, Phone with caller ID and all that crap. I told him what telus was offering and he looked up my account. He's like ya you've been with us a long time, you've never been offered a promo, you pay your bill on time so I can offer you exactly what you have except change the sports HD package to all the HD channels and I'll do it for $90.90 a month for one year.

Savings of about $50 a month after tax, be polite and you shall receive. Don't care about PVR offers or anything like that because I already have them although he did offer me a free digital HD box (non PVR) for 3 years but I had no need for it.

Edit: I never threatened to leave or anything either I just told them that Telus was offering me a really good rate right now for one year and was wondering if there was anything they could do to get my bill close to it?
