I’m curious—did she try to offer you a better deal? Any time I have called to cancel they immediately offer a deal for 6 months.
Good for you! Thinking of doing the same!
I will be cutting the cable very soon. Comcrap can go to hell.
“What I didn’t tell the young lady...”
Actually, that should have been your sole reason if you wanted to send a message.
We have Comecast & I’d cut it myself. But my sweetie is addicted to the high speed internet (me too, on that one) & likes to watch movies in the evening. Even if we’ve seen the same ones ten times before.
why didn’t you tell her that?? several years ago, when i called HBO and cancelled my subscription (only had it as the wife like the Sopranos) and they asked why i told them i will not support any hate filled left wing media outlet that gives a voice to people like bill maher. larry davis and nancy pelosi’s daughter (who was producing anti-conservative documentary’s for them) with my money...they’ve got to know up front its their politics thats pushing you away...
Bravo to you. We all need to “go Galt” in any way that we can. And since you were feeding the UrineStream Media anyway with your subscription, a double whammy!
I’m planning to cut back to extreme austerity measures. I hope to put numerous businesses out of business, and by doing so, unemploy numerous Obama drones. We can “stop the engine of the world” together if we try.
You won’t miss it.
A couple of years ago, my wife and I canceled our cable TV. We kept internet access, though, and now get all the TV content we need via Netflix streaming. We even tried Hulu+ for a while, which was OK, but decided we didn’t need that either. Netflix streaming seemed to cover our needs at a fraction of the cost of cable.
And we barely watch TV. Usually I watch TV *maybe* for 1 hour a week. Maybe. Although recently, this stupid anime Fullmetal Alchemist has sucked me in and is taking up more of my precious time. Hrm.
Bravo.
I cancelled a web service yesterday and plan to drastically reduce or eliminate my cable bill.
I am also cancelling my LA Fitness account. I will explain to them in no uncertain terms as to why.
I am not planning to expand my business in any way that expand hiring and I am circling the wagons to survive.
i cancelled time warner last month. 106.00 a month when i signed up 6 years ago 196.00 a month when i cancelled. Uverse now at a savings of 44.00 a month for internet,phone, and tv.
I will be contacting my pool guy, the landscaper and canceling the newspaper because I won’t have a job after this month. Reason I will give is one word: OBAMA
Wife might be getting laid off soon too.
I’m just about to cancel Brighthouse too. I’m no longer going to willingly finance the left anymore.
Also don’t forget to contact your GM or Chrysler salesman (if you’ve bought from one in recent years) and let them know that you’re not going to buy from their companies again. Not as much due to the bailout — rather due to their last-minute decision to defend Obama from Romney’s criticism of the bailout. That hurt Romney in Ohio and Michigan and was purely political. No reason to give money to crony capitalist corporations that suck up to the other side of the aisle.
I have not had outside TV for well over 5 years. While I do miss the football, I do NOT miss the trash.
Kill your TV!!

I canceled my Comcast cable TV 6 months ago, but work at home and need some kind of Internet connection, still have Comcast but looking to change.
Nice! I’m preparing to tell my family members (on Mr. Littlespotblog’s side, all libs from CA) that Christmas will be very frugal this year. Thanks to our increase in taxes next year, along with the increased amount of $$ we have to pay for food and gas, they can expect simple homemade gifts and photographs of our daughter. The days of buying consumer items are long gone.
We’re all poor now!
Had a Google AdWords account for my business.
DELETED and CANCELLED.
I cancelled DISH about six months ago, bought a rabbit ears antenna for $15.00 and discovered I receive 23 channels with perfect picture. I was paying $71.00 per month for a system that I barely used and which spent most of the time in “Acquiring Signal” mode when I did use it.
I called the tree service company yesterday & told them because Obama won I no longer could afford to have the two trees cut. They called back laughing (left message on answering machine) that they understood. Since they thought it was so funny I won’t be using them next time I decide to have the trees taken down.
