Good information. You touch on issues I would think many people do not consider when 'cutting' and only realize after the fact.

Thanks for chiming in and for stopping by!

Thanks, it's on my list, Their chat service rep said "there are no offers currently"... and we are hearing that even a threat to leave is yielding a "good luck" response. But I'm going to try, I did get a discount last time I tried about two years ago.

Worth a try. If you get "Good Luck" guy...hang up, call back and see if you get the opposite.

local sports stations in NYC Metro (MSG, MSGSN, SNY) are nearly impossible to get outside of cable (Optimum/Altice). I already have outside streaming services. One thought I have is to drop all the cable Movie Premium channels and use cable for only sports and local stuff (+ TBS/TNT/AMC). Movies would be either via streaming paid service (MAX) or free services (Freevee, TUBI, etc). There maybe some savings there... damn cable box rental still is a gotcha. I'm already down to 4 boxes + cable card for 3 tuner HD Homerun

I'm not familiar with your cable provider BUT out here you used to be able to call Cox/Spectrum every 6 months...say "I want a lower rate" and negotiate the next 6 months. Don't know if that works out there but it's worth a try!
