Cutting the Cord – Goodbye Cable TV!

sometime agoIt finally happened! I picked up the phone and called Comcast and said I only want their internet service and no cable TV. They did the usual thing of passing me around to different department a couple of times, but to my surprise I was connected to a woman who was pleasant and willing to help.

I am not sure if I wrote earlier about getting out of landline phone, but I finally brought myself to doing it . My only reason for keeping it was ADT security system which still needed a land line, but they had recently graduated to using Cell connections as well as WiFi and once I got that taken care of, I called to cancel. Comcast tried to convince me to keep it because it didn’t cost much etc. etc. but I stood my ground and got out of it. What a relief! No more spam calls waking us up in the middle of the night etc. (yes, I did sign up for nomorobo etc but they had their own limitations). And we have been just fine with receiving calls on our cell phones.
