I love you, Comcast Cable
Dear Comcast Cable:
Thank you very much for being so lazy. It sure has saved me a lot of money. When I told you I wanted Limited Basic, I didn't really mean it. That's why I'm so glad you never bothered to switch my service from Extended Basic back to Limited Basic on the box/switch/magic solenoid at my apartment complex but did have the energy to lower the price from Extended Basic to Limited Basic.
I just hope you don't catch on because we can't live without our Law and Order on Tuesday and Wednesday nights on TNT. But since it's been like this since November, I'm sure you're not going to bother double-checking.
After all, it's not like we're stealing - we told you to switch our service back and charge us the lower amount - I guess you just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm telling all my friends to try it, too, and if you actually do change the price AND remember to change the box, well, they can just change it right back.
Oh yeah, and when my cable modem "promotional rate" of $29.99 per month expires at the end of these six months and goes back to $45.99 per month, I fully expect you to extend the deal another six months, just like you have the last THREE times I called and threatened to stop service altogether and sign up for SBC DSL at $29.99 per month. Comcast, you're so silly - I don't even have a landline to get DSL if I wanted to.
What's that? My neighbor has an unsecured wireless router that I can tap into? We can even split the $29.99 fee between us and I don't have to pay you for cable modem at all? Wow, Comcast, I love you.
