Goodbye Charter
A few weeks ago we finally decided to eliminate Charter Communications from our lives. We have had cable service from them for a long time (my mom says it’s probably been two decades), and more recently we were using their cable modem services. Over the years the prices have just gone up and up and up, until we were paying a pretty ridiculous monthly price for our services.
So, I priced out DirecTV and DSLExtreme, and discovered that we would save $40-50 every single month, for exactly the same services, just by switching over. Also, we finally got our first DVR as part of the DirecTV package, and now we can watch the shows we like whenever we want. It’s pretty awesome.
I just got everything switched over last week, so we are finally back to where we were before as far as television and Internet access. It’s always a hassle to go through something like that, but it’s infrequent. Saving a bunch of money every month doesn’t hurt, too.
