Oh well, one more thing I didn't read too well last year.
So I set about to call them and discuss my options for this year.
After two phone calls over about an hour and a half I had this page of notes in front of me:
What the hell, man? I wound up cancelling my sports and news tier (bye-bye, NFL Network) and only incurred a $3 increase for the next six months. Let me repeat that last bit. I REMOVED some my current services and the bill INCREASED by $3. The best part is yet to come - after the promotional six months is up, my cable bill will go up to $195.77 a month.
That's crazy.
Needless to say, we spent the weekend discussing cord cutting strategies.
The funniest part of this situation is that had we not received a notice that our discount were about to end, we would have continued to pay our monthly bill and never said a word. But because Cox was kind enough to notify us that they were increasing our cost but not our service, we just might be cancelling a whole lot more.
