Yesterday in the mail came my rate increase for my basic cable service… and an offer

from the competition! My only two two pieces of mail. With an increase in my basic service and the rental of my PVR I would now be paying $60 a month. I just don’t feel like I am getting that out of this relationship, so I picked up the phone and dumped my cable.

My cable tried to save the relationship saying it could do better, asking if there was someone else. I told it ‘no, there isn’t anyone else’ since I have no intentions of entering a relationship with another provider and promised to return it’s things soon.

I hope that we will be happier without each other! I know I will be a tiny bit wealthier each month… who knows some day we may reunite but I am gonna give it a try on my own.
