Every month when I pay my Direct TV ($92) and Cox Internet bill ($89) bills my butthole tightens up to the size of a pinhead.. then every year they want to raise my bills, so I have to yell and scream and write letters to retention specialists...
Have been exploring doing something different for a while now, however as I am not tech savvy often get confused with the language and what am I actually getting.. get flyers from Verizon that if I "bundle" for $74.00 per month, but then when I price it out the cost is about the same...rental modems, DVR etc.
Then I chat with Customer Service Reps online, and usually I get pissed off as they never answer a question unless I give them my life history.
IMO this whole topic deserves its own thread to discuss how to save on what seems to have become a basic necessity, like to break away, but being retired sometimes life gets pretty boring..
