Don't know if you got this resolved or not but here are a couple of thoughts: I found my CL bill was also doubled early in the year, but it's because the credit card I had autopay on had expired and they failed to notify me (they did take off the late charges when I complained of that). Also, when my introductory rate was ready to expire, they pleasantly moved me to the $45/mo plan and so far, so good.
As for going cable-free, we haven't had cable since moving to FL 4 years ago. Bought a nice antenna and put it up (shouldn't cost more than $100 for antenna, maybe same for install). Our smart TV automatically has Netflix, which we subscribe to for less than $9/mo. We also got Roku and Chromecast, so we have plenty of options. If TV is not your life, you can do it relatively inexpensively.
