We've been with Time Warner, now Spectrum for over 15 years. When Spectrum took over last year I did my annual review (to make sure I was on the best 'promotion') and they found we were best off staying on a Time Warner plan.
Now, 12 months later and our bill got it's annual increase, $20 extra for no change in service. Multiple customer service agents were unable to do any better than that price (now $162 for 50/5 internet, cable with 1 DVR, and a home phone we never even took out of the box). Threatening to cut TV does nothing with this company. My wife has been hesitant to cut the cord because we live in an area where we can't receive local channels OTA, and none of the streaming providers offer them either. Still, doing the math, we were being offered internet only at $65/month, and the Sling Blue package gives us everything we want except local channels for $25/month.
So yesterday we finally agreed to cut the cord, saving us $864/year, AND our internet got bumped to 100/10. So far Sling seems great to me. I hated using the archaic cable box and remote interface - Sling seems much more in line with what modern TV should look like. I was surprised at how hesitant I was to do this in the first place, but how FREEING it feels now. Heading down to turn in the phone and cable box shortly!
