xrapturex Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 No offense to any of you's who work for one...but cable companys suck ass. For real. This is why.Reason 1- I bought a cable modem, to find out now, that they have not only billed me for buying it, but also billed me for renting it. Now, of course they have no record of me buying it, so they want it back. Like HELLO, they owe my ass money for 2 years I have been paying for a rental and didnt know it. Reason 2- I turn off the cable modem because I am moving. So I scheduled it to be turned off on Monday, and the TV's to be turned off on Thursday. So what did they do??? Turned everything off yesterday, so now I have no mother fucking TV until I actually get situated at the new house. I call up and they tell me, "Sorry maam, but if we turn one thing off in the house, we turn it all off". That doesnt make any sense. What if i wasnt moving? Id be ass out of a TV? Not only does the cable company suck balls, but so does moving. Sorry. Needed to vent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrapturex Posted February 25 Author Report Share Posted February 25 Oh wait, I forgot 2 more reasons.So after they turn off our tv's in error, we call back and they say, ok we'll turn it back on by 7pm. Check at 7, its not on. Call back 2 more times, they say, "it will definetely be on tonight". Checked this morning-still not on.Then the new cable company, all I wanted was hbo and basic cable. But you dont have that option anymore- you HAVE to get digital cable. I mean, thats fine cuz I like the movie chanels, but like, what do you mean I cant get normal cable? Rip offs.Im done.

So at this point I flip out because they never gave me itimized bills....so after I flipped out she agreed to send me a $90 courtesy check and void my last bill. Which comes out to around the same amount, so thats OK. And hopefully the cable will be back on tonight. I know accidents happen, but with the aggravation of moving you dont need added bullshit, ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
