[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2285715, member: 26737"] Look into the [I]Frame Rate Chicken Challenge[/I], issued by Brian Brushwood of the [I]Frame Rate[/I] podcast. He got fed up and called to cancel his cable TV service (only the TV, not the Internet service), and they kept offering sweeter and sweeter deals in an effort to keep him; he'd already publicly announced his intention to cut the cord, so he ended up telling them no, but that led to the Chicken Challenge--call your cable/satellite provider and tell them you're ready to drop their service, and see what they do to try to keep you. They've had tales of their viewers/listeners taking the challenge and getting their Internet service upgraded with basic cable packages thrown in essentially for free because they need the TV subscriber headcount. Brian's [I]Frame Rate[/I] co-host, Tom Merritt, set up a Google Plus community for viewers to share their Chicken Challenge stories ( [url]https://plus.google.com/communities/115740458701461018530[/url] ) in the hope that they might help others in their cost-/cord-cutting endeavors.
