When I first cut the cord I immediately returned the DVR and cable modem, and replaced them with firetv and my own cable modem, after a year I had saved the cost of those items. I canceled the TV service and instead got Hulu and Netflix for a fifth the cost. In the end I think I was saving $1200/yr. then they started raising my bill by $3-5 every month or two so it’s gone from a low of around $35 to around $75 now. I’m pretty sure they are not supposed to do that but NY Department of Consumer Affairs basically finds any excuse they can to not investigate complaints, I gave up after trying to complain for a couple months.
Very interesting is that when I first started streaming 4K video the cable company seemed to suspect I had started running a business or something and they would bounce my connection and change my IP 2-3 times a day. They gave up after six weeks or so and my address has been stable since.
