Chickened out on cancelling the cable

May 21st, 2009 at 01:23 am

I'll be honest, I was putting off researching options on changing phone service and lowering my cable to the very very basic plan.

I have a lot options and I guess I'm moving out of my comfort zone with cancelling it, so I decided to hold off one more month.

I'm going to start researching the best options for switching phone plans. Verizion would only be $6 less than Comcast, but there has to be a better deal out there. All I need is local phone - no call waiting, caller ID, voicemail. Just plain ole local.

Also, I requested to have 2 coupons for the digital converters to come to my house. I only have 2 tvs and I hope to try them out soon. Then I can skip the very, very basic cable altogether, which would save me about $12.00.

So basially, I chickened out. Crazy how cable feels like a necessity even though I KNOW Its not. I almost want to get rid of it just to prove I can live without it. But I would like to keep channels 3,6 & 10. So I'm gonna hold out for the converters & go from there.

    I completely understand! I don't think cancelling cable would even occur to me. My basic phone line is $5 a month when bundled with my internet. Look at bundles to save money.

    I'm kickin' cable to the curb when I move to my new house next week. We'll be installing an antennae and just getting free over-the-airwaves TV. Once I'm a bit settled in, I'll post to let you (and others) know how it's going.

    Over the past five months I have taken over paying the cable bill... I initially found out we were signed up for the maximum plan, (we had no idea we even got movie channels...) and it took a month to cancel that once we found out, then another two to remove the cable and go to basic channels. I totally understand your hesitation, but I have to say what few ten or so channels we have left are still more than enough tv when I need a fix.
