Verizon calls to offer to lower my bill?

I got an interesting call today from Verizon. The original reason for the call appeared to be to sell me various long distance plans. I passed since I use my cell phone for free for long distance. Then they offered me a new local package which actually gives me more services (that I won't use) for less. I had to walk through it a few times just to make sure but they did in fact save me a little over $1 a month. I must say this is the first time in recent memory that a telecom company offered to save me money. Odd I thought honestly.
