Step 6: Cancel Your Cable TV Service
With all necessary information gathered and decisions made, it’s finally time to contact your cable provider and cancel your service. Michael advises making the call during off-peak hours to avoid long wait times. Be prepared for any pitch to retain you as a customer and ensure the prompt return of any rented equipment to avoid unexpected charges.
