My blood pressure is finally coming down
After two hours on the phone trying to cancel my time warner cable. According to my phone records I called seven times, spoke to probably 15 people, and after telling one of them who agreed to cancel my cable and internet that I only wanted the cable cancelled, he informed me that I had to contact my building management to do so. After about 20 minutes waiting to speak with his supervisor, who first insisted nothing could be done, and that he was really good at selling his cable services, I finally got him to agree that he could cancel everything, as by then I'd be damned if they got one more penny out of me than necessary. Of course having to go through my building's management was a bald faced lie, since if I had failed to pay my bill for a few months they wouldn't have hesitated to cut me off remotely. Really we need the internet as a public utility. But given the republicans and their love of all things corporate I won't hold my breath.
