And here’s where I give a quick shout out to RCN, because outside of asking me why I wanted to downgrade my package to internet only, it was a short and pleasant conversation, I wasn’t punted off to any retention specialists, and everything was arranged in under 10 minutes. I took a deep breath, steeled myself up for a multi-hour knock-down-drag-out fight with my cable provider’s retention department, and took the plunge. That all changed when HBO launched its cordcutter-friendly streaming option, HBO Now, just in time for the season premiere of Game of Thrones. I got home too late for the national evening news broadcasts, and it was nice watching those on my own schedule with the ability to fast forward through all of the dopey pharmaceutical commercials. But there was no easy, obvious streaming options for a handful of my most beloved programs, and having a DVR meant that I rarely watched any live TV.

Two years ago, I had “CANCEL CABLE” written at the bottom in big loopy purple letters, circled for emphasis, plus an old cable bill stuck to it with a magnet just in case my message to myself wasn’t clear enough.īack then, the truth about my viewing habits was that I already relied heavily on streaming services, and I knew that most of my regular shows were available through them. In my kitchen, I have a dry erase board on which I keep a running list of groceries to buy and chores to do. I canceled my cable two years ago, and it saves me about $44 per month.
