cut the cord
I cut the cord because of similar billing issues with Century Link. I had an antenna installed in my attic to pick up free TV and signed up for AT&T Direct TV Now. The Direct TV now costs me $35 per month for two TV's (or two devices). It is a month to month charge and I can cancel at any time without penalty. My understanding is that the $35 price will not increase.
My solution is far from perfect. We get ABC, CBS and a myriad of other "free" stations using the antenna in the attic. NBC is spotty. Sometimes it comes in and some times it does not. The AT&T streaming service requires an internet connection. My internet costs about $30 per month through Comcast. The AT&T service is what I would consider "beta". Currently it's buggy/flaky. When it works (most of the time) it's great but they are still working the bugs out. I will stick with them until they get it 100% right (hopefully soon). I expect it will get much better soon or they won't have a product to sell.
