My cousin told me about this years ago, how i can cheat the system. I said, No thanks! If I can afford it, I get it the right way….Karma is a bitch!

I haven’t had cable in 4 yrs. and everyone at work and my friends think I’m crazy, but I don’t miss it one bit! We just watch the normal channels anyway and I definately don’t miss forking over money every month.

…right to ING it goes.. love it!!!! ING Direct really is the best.

also you might try calling the internet company and telling them you’d like to cancel “because you can no longer afford it.” They might offer you a discounted price. The key is to make sure you’re speaking to the retention department and that you stay firm with your request to cancel. Say “we’re really happy with the service, and we don’t want to cancel but it just seems like we can’t fit it into our budget anymore.” No need to lie about job loss or anything. A simple “can no longer afford it” is more than satisfactory.

I do this every six months when our promotion ends. We have centurylink and have the 40mbps fastest plan that is usually $129 a month. We pay $29 out the door. There are no taxes on internet (just on the phone part, which we don’t have). we use nettalk.

Way back in the 1960′s Western TV cable started in South San francisco, my parents purchased a house in the flight path of SFO airport the planes would go over and ruin the antenna fed signal,so they started cable tv, at first just regular programs , this for $1.65 per month, then they added more programs with NO commercials this was great , but now cable,sat is a waste of money, Some people pay $ 140.00 or more per month, to watch junk and commercials.

Publicly announcing that you’re stealing from the cable company tells me that you are very comfortable with theft in general. I’m sorry, but saving money by cheating someone else (or a company) is not admirable in the least. Interesting that you think the stolen services are worth the price of your integrity.

One way to save money is to get an FTA satellite system. The way this works is you pay for the system and have no cable or satellite bills, you can get a blind scan system which will scan your channels in up to about 5000 channels and if you add about 60 dollars more you have the ability to record and watch later on your system. The complete package deal can run from $300 dollars on up. You will also have access to foreign channels from Mexico, Canada and many overseas channel and you have no recurring cable bills to ever worry about. If you do decide to get one do not install on the house, install in the yard, when the wind blows and the dish is on your house, somebody will need to go up and adjust the dish mounts. On the ground no problem or add a motor to the dish and it will track the satellite and you can do it with the remote control inside the house.

My bank overcharges for service fees so I took a lot of their money. If you don’t condone it, that’s good for you, but since the big banks love to overcharge, my family loves armed robbery.

But seriously, I haven’t had cable for seven years, and I don’t miss it. I do find I watch a fair bit of TV when I’m staying in hotels, but I think it’s as much for the novelty as anything. I’m usually bored with it after a few hours.

We’ve been married 35 years and have never subscribed to cable TV. There is simply no time in our lives for watching TV and, quite honestly, very little of quality or interest on TV. We subscribe to Netflix, and occasionally watch a movie together, but sitting in front of the tube is not part of our daily routine.
