“force them to offer a la carte programming”
We discovered a hidden service on Spectrum six years ago when we first subscribed. They offered a “TV Choice” service over the ‘net. They provided a base selection of national networks and local channels (I think about 30) AND you could make an a la carte selection of 10 from another 30 or 40. My wife chose about 8 sports channels and I got 2 movie channels.
Since then, I think they’ve gone system-wide with the offering. I recall I stumbled upon it by looking at the source code for their web site and, of all things, I found the script there telesales people had to use, how far they could go on price, how to make last-minute offers before letting the prospect truly say “bye.” It was amazing all that company information was in-the-clear in their source code! I haven’t looked since then to see if it’s still there.
We use a combination of that Spectrum TV Choice service and some streaming services (Prime, Netflix are the main ones). All-in, we are probably spending more than we did on cable, but it is a LOT better and we don’t have to pay for liberal crap we don’t want!
