They have been raising rates to maintain their profit margin in the face of a declining customer base.

Cancel the cable tv and get a ROKU box ($99 one time) and Sling TV for $25/month where you get most of the cable you have plus 4 EPIX movie channels and more choices.
Get the free XTV app (google it) for older tv shows.
Plus a over the air tv antenna for several channels in you area that you think are on cable but are FREE when you use the antenna. Check out http://www.tvguide.com then What’s On.
You need a tv that has HDMI and USB ports. The more the better.
