Is it possible to use the cable TV service without paying for it at all? It turns out, yes. And for this it is not necessary to cheat with wires, connect to a neighbor, and you do not even need to climb into the dashboard. The method is madly simple, but, unfortunately, it does not always work.
Cable TV today is a fairly affordable service, it does not hit the budget. Competition between operators leads companies to try to offer customers the best possible deals. However, they do not report that you can use cable TV for free - not pay for it at all for several months or even years. Someone might say that the method is not entirely ethical, but at least it is completely legal, unlike connecting to a neighbor's wire. We will tell you how to do it.
Surely you already have cable TV that you watch for a monthly fee. If these are not interactive services that require an internet connection to connect, but rather a regular coaxial cable, there is good news for you. You can reduce the fee for it to zero.
The instruction is extremely simple: go to the operator's office or personal account on his website and … turn off the service. That's it, you continue to watch your favorite channels, but you no longer need to pay for it. The secret is that in order for you to stop receiving the signal, the provider must send an employee who will physically disconnect you from the shield, but very often companies do not. Perhaps they will reach you in a few months, or perhaps they will completely forget.
It is highly advisable to turn off cable television not immediately after you have been shown it, the more time has passed since you became a subscriber, the better. Disconnection in itself does not cause suspicion, even if you continue to use the Internet from the same provider: today many refuse TV, because all the content is on the world wide web, moreover, it has become fashionable to live according to the principle "I do not have a TV". But pause so that the operator is sure that you are a normal customer, and not some freeloader. If you activate the service and come to terminate the contract a month later, this will likely raise suspicions from the company serving you.
In general, there is nothing unethical here: you terminated the contract, and the fact that the operator did not disconnect you is his problem.
It is worth noting that the method described in the article is far from one hundred percent - some operators still do not hesitate to reach the subscriber and make it so that he cannot watch cable TV for free. But, if anything, you can then connect it again. True, decide for yourself whether you need such difficulties or, perhaps, it is still easier to pay a couple of hundred rubles a month.
We also emphasize that this focus will not succeed with interactive television, because operators have the ability to turn off such services remotely, without visiting the client's address.
