Early Termination of Cable

[khiladi]

Has anybody ever terminated their cable early to move on, after being PO'd over the hidden fee changes? And if so, what was their experience like?

If you have a contract, they'll expect something like $20/mo for the remainder. If they don't get it, they'll ding your credit.

If you've had any service outages or issues with blocked channels, call in to get a friendly customer service rep and try to negotiate it out. If you don't get anywhere, hangup and call back in until you find somebody willing to work with you. That works a lot better when you're changing services rather than shutting down, since they're compensated for keeping you an active customer a lot of times.

I do that with pretty much any unhelpful customer rep. As soon as I get a brick wall, I say 'thanks' and hangup and call back until I get somebody willing to actually help. It's frustrating, but it gets you farther than trying to budge somebody who's dug in. Good luck.

I bet you wish you could have terminated it last night! Lol

It was too late by last night. I should have terminated in the morning.

Speaking of which, my stupid DVR cut off Dak's last end-zone pick yesterday because the lightening delay ate up all my extension buffer. I wasn't even mad at that point. How much worse could it even get?

Sounds like your DVR did you a favor!

I deleted the game. No sense in watching that one twice.
