And if you can't or won't cut the cable, double check that you aren't paying for channels you don't use. My mother just got a $33 "annual" increase in her bill, but was able to remove channels she didn't even know she was getting and now her bill is less than before the increase.
Also, complain to your city council about your cable provider. If they're granted a monopoly to operate in your city, the city council is the only entity that has even the slightest leverage over them.
A lot of cable companies will not allow you to remove certain channels. They are bulk deals and even if you have them removed you are usually still paying for them.
I was surprised there were channels she could remove too. All I can remember from the conversation was that the channels were in the range above 500 and one of them was Starz.

Comcast lets you remove channels of your choice?
It's worth asking. This was with Suddenlink, which is who the big players sell their dying cable systems to.
