Looking to cut the cord. Charter can suck it.

31. Here is what we did.

We had time warner cable and had the same frustrations as you. Not sure where you live and what you have now but we switched to DSL through our local phone company. We bought our own wifi modem so there is no monthly fee for equipment rental. We then switched over to an internet phone provider sun rocket who has since went out of business and became teleblend. Since we have DSL if our internet is out our phone would be as well. So it is as good as having a hard line IMO. We were using dish network, the will let you change your plan as often as you choose and as long as you don't change again in 30 days there is no service fee. Their prices have went up so we looked at our phone company and they offer a discount for direct tv, not a real big one, I think 5 bucks. But they take 10 of our internet each month. So our internet is around 25 a month now. And of course we get the 12 month discount from direct tv. In two years we will switch back to dish network. And in another two it will be back to direct tv providing things stay the same. This is our 4th switch doing this. We get new equipment each time. Which is nice. When we have dish we subscribe to hbo or show time to watch the shows first run. We then DVR all of our other favs using the on demand feature. Then we cancel when the seasons over. By then we have had our fill.

Our experience cutting the cord. We did it for almost two years. The way our life is we missed having a DVR so in turn we missed a lot of our favs. CBS has been really shitty about only running some shows once. We were missing a lot of our favs. We still use our roku to watch netflix and a few other things. Not too mention where we live (not too far really) we have had spotty over the air service. I see there has been an abundant amount of good advice so I am sure you will do well no matter what you choose.
