I need a little help from those that have killed their cable bill.
We have used cable , with internet service, for about five years here( tri-state Az), paying what I feel is an outrageous $300/month. I would be perfectly happy on an antenna, but if I want anything like peace in the house (happy wife, happy life!), that won't work. The gf has to have her premium channels!
We currently have HBO and Showtime, and apparently Netflix, (which I don't use, cause I don't know how to access it, and frankly, I don't care)
A busy office, at the end of the month, so I dropped a check in the box for $300, and walked away
Now , the gf says we have no HBO, and she's right, so I call the cable company, they say the bill is overdue, and I have to pay a late charge.
So I go to the office with proof they cashed the check, and it was on time. They say a "promotion" ended and the bill was $330, plus late fee (what f-ing promotion? The one that ran five years?!?)
So, I'm fed up. I'm looking for an alternative (satellite, streaming service, [ever done it, don't know how] or something?) to keep the gf happy, and not give the cable company four thousand dollars a year any more.
Are there any good alternatives that a total incompetent like me can use?
