I Cut The Cord

Finally got rid of cable. The representative on the phone was trying as hard as he could to persuade me to stay with Comcast.

I finally did it last year (Feb...been a year...never looked back!) and after I did wished I had done it at least 3 years ago! I have Netflix, Prime, and go off and on Hulu occasionally only when I want to see something in particular...maybe a few months each year. Instead of the $130 a month my cable was going to cost me (had just increased again) to watch NOTHING in recent years. They'd increase and take away channels at the same time!

I was streaming every night on my iPad instead anyway, watching nothing on my cable. I hadn't yet bought a new smart tv, so I couldn't stream on tv anyway...but finally did it all at once last year.

Enjoy your lower bills @May5!

ps. "Dear Comcast...too little, too late." Bah Byeee.

@May5,

Congrats! You will never look back and wished you had done it even sooner. You will find a world of even free streaming with things to watch you never got to before!

Thank you Amyb. It will be $100 less going forward. Now I can pay for food. HaHa

Congratulations!! It took me forever to decide to cut the cable, it's been about 3 yrs, I don't miss it and have extra money to shop with, lol.

Have a wonderful Monday

@May5 Goodfor you!! I spoke with SPECTRUM this am trying to reduce our $200.00 bill. Even if we go with a lesser plan (channel line up) we will only save under $15.00 because we are in a bundle and will lose the bundle savings if we switch plans.

When the bundle savings come off I will have a litle more leverage but by that time the actual costs will be up...it's a ****** shoot.

What have you decided to stream? If we stick with SPECTRUM for the internet only the cost is roughly $99.00.

I cancelled my satellite service with Directv last month after being with them for over 25 years! But the good news is I just switched to their streaming service for a much lower price. Now I've got to get rid of that satellite dish which is mounted to the side of my house.
