Oh be aware that’s a 1 year deal. At the end of the year, call again and say you know the price is about to go up, but you can’t afford it and ask if there is some other package they can switch you to. There always will be. There will be a one time $10 change fee, but it will be $60/mo instead of $120.

I’m on year 3. One phone call a year does it. Just know what is available locally, because the guy on the phone will. It will show you DID look into it.

I’ve been doing this for years, and always got a good deal.

This year couldn’t.

So, I dropped cable. There are a few good shows the kids like, and I told them they can buy seasons from Amazon if they want. Far cheaper, and direct feedback (and monetary support) that we are buying family friendly programming, and getting rid of the rest.

My setup:

- TW high speed, new customer price negotiated.
- Ooma VoIP (in place of landline phone. Ported
Home number, have had for many years) - if you want my discount code for new customers, let me know
- TiVo - Moving from Roamio Pro to Bolt. Bolt supports OTA. Can stream to Phones, Tablets, etc. via WiFi to multiple devices. Also have 2 TiVo Minis, integrated with Roamio/Bolt via Moca networking. A little expensive but great integration.
- TiVo supports streaming ( Amazon, Netflix, etc)
- Old laptop connected via HDMI (thru Denon AVR) with compact wireless mouse/touchpad, can do pretty much anything with this, including Pandora, Prime Music, stream movies, pictures, music from NAS

Felt good to call and cancel cable (TV), I hope we stick with it
