One other item of note, I called to do the cancellation and switch and was offered to have my bill cut in half. I pay $41 for my package plus HBO and Starz now each month. This is a 10 month offer from them (for the package, HBO/Starz offer expires in April). So, at this price I'm not getting into a contract with anyone for a few months. Even if you don't want to switch right now but are at the end of your contract, call and say you want to cancel. The savings could be significant for a few minutes on the phone.
