Cable bills, reducing costs.

In November we are switching cable companies and for 74 dollars getting offered higher internet speed and more channels including premium ones. Yes, I could have done more by going wireless. For my old ass it seemed to confusing and too much of a hassle to do more. Perhaps in 2021 we will be more savvy with options you might use. Also, for the poster who observed that some of us don't know how to do a Google search. Perhaps neither one of you considered that by starting this thread I got people with diverse points of views on so many topics to speak amicably to each other while discussing saving money. Just to share ideas.

Is that the bait and switch rate? After 1 or 2 years of service will it jump?

Will see. The advertisement is that it's a lifetime deal. We shall see . In the old days, when I was a kid, my parents would talk about things like this with neighbors when getting the mail with neighbors. You know when people talked to their neighbors about topics that were not controversial to be amiable. People talked about savings money at the supermarket or at the bank. Today we are so isolated that it's good we gather together in this way for a topic like this. I'm old.
