  4. Oh yes! Same with similar company, we've had triple bills from a phone company, which shall remain nameless, after we had canceled service for two month!!!
    R.O.B.O.T.S.! Every phonecall sounded like that, with no results...

  5. What is wrong with them? Shouldn't you be able to walk into one of their service centers, the same place you would return a cable box, and they'd give you a new one? I mean in theory that would work. But you never know with stupid Comcast. Somehow they got to the top of the list of places to work in MA, my guess is because they essentially have a monopoly on the city of Boston.
