You'd be surprised how much they can trim off your monthly charges.
Not sure who your provider is but this is how it works with mine. Good luck and let us know if this helps. You may be able to get back down below $200.00.

I actually do get "perks", but in every case, it's a "get the faster internet for free for 6 months". I take that, in 6 months my bill goes up, and I get the NEXT level free. so, the bill keeps going up, but I keep getting better "service". To the point now that I have too much bandwidth and I'm paying too much. That, and someone in the house insisted that we get HBO for Game of Thrones (and basically nothing else...). That's going away as well.
I'm going the Tivo route. Recordable OTA, with the main 3 internet streamer sources built in. I will pay the $15 a month Tivo bill in return for dropping something like $140 in cable costs. Toss the existing Roku in the garage on a small second TV maybe.
For quite a while, we were on rabbit ears and I was torrenting shows regularly, and playing them via my Western Digital TV Live, which was a kick butt little box that acted just like a Roku, but for downloaded media. Torrents seem to have disappeared though
