We had been on Cable for over 20 years. Went to Dish when cable wanted yet another annual increase of 60% for the same package. Then Dish wanted an increase.
The costs didn't make sense for us, as we weren't using it that much, and didn't care for most of the offerings. What passes for entertainment these days is a sad thing.
The last 60% rate increase was the 'duh' wake up call.
We've gone to Netflix, Amazon Prime and local channels on of all things, a modern version of rabbit ears.
$8.95 / month total for Netflix, pay as you go for Amazon and local is free if you don't count the 'cost' of 12 minutes of commercials per half hour of 'viewing'.
Having made the move, we don't miss the other stuff. My bet is you won't either.
sounds familiar, we had Direct TV in Va., because that was all we could get out in the boonies... we still had dialup internet there... really sukd. When we got back to Ohio, we had choices, but as the Sat TV had risen in prices, we hooked into a bundle with TW Cable, phone, tv, and h/s internet, for $89/mo. well, after 4 years, the last straw was them bumping the service to $189/mo, and we said forget it.. So back again to Direct TV with all the same stuff we had originally, and a contract for $69/mo. and when they jump up in price, and it hits the inevitable $100 level again, we'll switch back to TW Cable, again, and do the revolving door on them... they all have to learn, we will no longer pay more, you give a price, stick with it, or we dump ya, and switch...
