Don't want auto-pay? Don't sign up for it. We don't.
Yeah, telemarketing, especially when you cancel something like cable, satellite, telephone, sucks. You'll get emails and calls and snail mail for the old company for at least a year if not more. As an ATT customer, they send me mail and emails to buy service from them that I already have.

44? Kids nowadays! I'm 57... I work with tech (yeah, I'm still working) but we are trying to find a balance of convenience Vs overexposure... My cell phone was destroyed and I went for a week without it, didn't miss it much.
Emails addresses are free, everyone should have one or more "throwaway" email addresses.
Auto-pay can be handy for "must pay" monthlies (mortgage, insurance, etc.)
Whenever I sign up for any service (phone or TV) I always ask my neighbor's and friends first to find out who has good/bad price/customer relations.
It is your life, take control.
