If you have several months left on your cable contract, you’re in a bit of a pickle, as you would have to wait until the contract is done.
However, I would recommend you start your cord cutting journey BEFORE the official end of the contract. When you have two or three months left on your contract, start testing the waters.
Get a cheap streaming device, join Netflix (or you might already have Amazon Prime), and start checking out the programmes and movies, so you can see if the selection – and technology – is good for you.
That way, when IT IS time to leave your cable company, you will already know it’s a good option for you. Then, when the contract’s up, be sure to CANCEL it. Your cable company will kick and scream and offer you anything from a discount to a toaster made of gold (OK, I’m making that one up… I think) – Be strong!
Remember – if after a month or two of being a cord cutter you decide this isn’t for you for whatever reason, the cable company will be THRILLED to take you back. But at least give it a go first, before you sign up for another 12 months.
I assure you – most people who cut the cord, never look back.
