Damn that felt good to tell Verizon to stuff it... well at least partially I still have their internet LOL.
I really starting thinking about how we watch tv and the truth is I watch tv like I did as a kid in the 70's... Certain nights at certain i.e. ABC's lineup on Thursday nights and Ry and I love watching the Goldbergs, The Middle on Wednesdays. I also just watch alot of news when I'm getting ready in the morning. So for about a week every time I switched the tv on I thought ok do I need cable and the answer was a big fat no.
I've read all the threads about the Magic box and different streaming options and thought it seemed like a gigantic PITA. Well it's not lol.
So I went and got an antenna for all the tv's..work's like a champ and for right now I'm using Ry's old WII consule in the front room and been streaming Hulu which I like alot. I'm going to get a Roku now. I've been told the interface is great.
I kept Verizon on for about a week to see if my set up worked and I liked it...it did
So yesterday I called Verizon and canceled. My bill went from 220 a month to 54.99. I'm still gonna call and bitch about that though lol. Initially it was 85.00 and I hung up the phone and called sales/retention and they lowered it to 54.99. 50/50.
I've ran a couple speed tests and I'm a pretty solid 25/25. I'm actually pretty surprised it's synchronous. So they get to hear from me in the am again lol
<<<<<< feeling pretty proud of herself
