There are many reasons why you might want to cut cable, and it’seasy to do.

Try just putting your subscription TV on hiatus during the off-season.

Each cable company has a different policy.

Some will let you put a “vacation hold” on your account.

Once the season starts up again, you might get your TV service back for the regular subscription fee.

If they can’t do that, cancel the service during the off season.

They’ll probably charge a disconnect and reconnect fee.

Those two fees are usually less than one month’s service, so you’ll still save money.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle, downsize some of your options in the off-season.

Go down to the bare minimum in the off-season if you aren’t watching TV.
