I just cut the cable

That's it. I received an email telling me that my internet and tv would be upgraded and I would be paying more for it "promotionally", or I could opt to keep my plan, but oy vey, the price would be the same because it was not "promotional". Then I took a look on the concurrency, signed a "promotional" internet only plan and cancelled my bundle. Now I'm paying "promotionally" way less than I was, my internet is faster and I have one year until they try to fuck me again and I have to change company again.

Honestly, not a minute too soon. There's nothing to see on tv and the only function of a telephone line is being constantly annoyed by telemarketing call bots.

I haven't had a cable account in twenty years and I don't miss it a bit. If there's something I'm interested in I'll wait till the series is done and do a month subscription on their streaming service and binge watch and still come out paying less then a DVD set.

Yep, that was my conclusion. We have Netflix (yet) and Prime, we can rent movies on Google play, and honestly, we're not watching shit. My wife still watches the news sometimes, but we can use the air signal, and some news channels on the internet. I can't anymore, they're too obviously biased. The rest of the shows and movies are old or pure crap. Brazilian tv is an idiot factory. What the fuck was I paying for?

The bad side is that the more people do this, more they'll charge for internet only connections...
