I also got tired of the cable prices continuously going up and up, as well as unadvertised fees and taxes. Whenever I mentioned it to the cable co. they would give me a quote for a "great deal." When I asked them how much more would the fees and taxes add to it, they quietly said "about $25."
I ditched cable and bought Roku sticks on Black Friday, subscribed to Youtube TV that has ALL my channels. My wife wanted to watch something on Starz so I found a one day special of six months for about $20 TOTAL. HBO is an additional $15 if I decide I want it, AND I can drop it or start it whenever I wish without someone calling me and begging me to continue.
The quality of my streaming TV via Internet is even better than my cable was.
Cut the Cable.
