Buying a house

Btw, jumping through cancellation hoops is something more than one company has used. And they've been gone after by consumer advocacy groups for it.

Easy to sign up, but not as easy to leave.

So driving down in a few days to move into recently bought Florida house! Will be there around 4 months. So went into local Spectrum store to find out what to do so I’m not paying the $277 a month my internet/cable bill has ballooned to.

Yeah, $275 is apparently the max pain point customers are willing to bend over for before they call to cancel.

My mom's verizon cable/internet/home phone quickly shot up to $275/month but only like $290 now after a few years after.

$275 for cable and internet?? I’m guessing $200 of that is the cable?

Mine just jumped from $240/month to $300 after the "contract discount" expired (and apparently it's going up to $325 next month for some reason). It's $128 for cable (plus $12 for Paramount+ with Showtime), $95 for Gigabit internet with unlimited downloads, and $15 for VOIP phone, plus $25 for the WiFi, and about $35 in fees (not including the $18 "regional sports fee", which I included in the cable cost).

I pay $50 for excellent 5G internet, $5.99 a month for Netflix, $12.99 for Disney/Hulu, $69 a year for HBO, $6 for Peacock, get Paramount for free through Walmart, and occasionally pick up a month or two of Showtime when it is on sale. Amazon Fire, Ruku and Prime have more videos than I'll ever watch. I paid an extra $60 this month for youtubetv to watch the bowls and playoffs.
I pay around $150 a year for full access to MLB.tv
