I never thought I would buy a lot of movies. Heck, I just looked forward to seeing my old favorites when they would come back around on the TCM Playlist on cable. That's until the price of cable kept going up. When it, along with...

A Great Find For Me

celticeagle @celticeagle (189792) • Boise, Idaho 13 Oct

I had to let go of cable about two years ago because it became too much to pay each month. It was about $250 a month for it and the internet. Too much! So, I went to Philo and a couple others that offered the channels I had...

Entertainment Wars: Cable vs Streaming.

April @thislittlepennyearns (68186) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 11 Aug

I’ve mentioned before that we ditched cable a few years ago, kept the Wi-Fi, and now just pick and choose which streaming services we want like we’re at an all-you-can-eat buffet—but for TV. Right now, we have Amazon, Discovery,...

Sometimes!

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (64169) • United States 23 Sep 24

Yesterday, about 6 we had a small power blip. It turned out my complicated electrical lights, but not my simple sort of manual light. It also turned off my computer. So, I turned it back on. And the internet didn't load. The...

celticeagle @celticeagle (189792) • Boise, Idaho 15 Jan 24

Well, I called Sparklight, our cable company, earlier and set up the cancellation of our cable. Of course, Murphy's Law raised its comical head and I couldn't get the cancellation done this month because the billing cycle begins...

The Truth of My Cable Matter

celticeagle @celticeagle (189792) • Boise, Idaho 13 Jan 24

I have had cable with the same company here in Boise since the late 90's. About 25 years. I think we should get a break like my grandmother did. She had subscribed to Reader's Digest for so many years that she got a letter at one...

We used to have Verizon FIOS for our TV, Internet, and DVR before but then when their promo ended we ended up switching to Spectrum as they gave us a promotional rate. But just like FIOS the promo has ended and now we are paying...

I was up rather early this a.m. so I got on the phone. Called Cable to check on loyalty and the amount of our monthly bill. It is not that different from last year. We have to seriously look at what we are going to do because the...
