Sometimes you can get them to give you a discount if they have promotional offers in your area. It usually lasts about 12 months. People used to get somewhere by threatening to leave, but that may or may not work any more.

They have been raising rates to maintain their profit margin in the face of a declining customer base. I saw an article about a month ago that said that Wall Street was happy about this strategy (even though it accelerates customer dissatisfaction) but is starting to notice that it is not sustainable.

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.
