So the other day I get my DSL bill and it’s almost $50 instead of being $20 some. That does not put a smile on my face. So I call them up and inquire. Apparently my 1 year was up (which I knew about) and I hadn’t re-up’d for another year. I didn’t mention them that they never called me after 11 months like they had promised to do. Also, they were wanting to charge me ridiculous ‘normal’ price. I informed ‘Mark’ that I see commercials for $14.99 about new customers and I really don’t see how they can keep any customers long term when they want to charge $50. Mark assures me they keep all their customers cause they just love it soooooo much. I then inform Mark about how I was promised 3 months free for switching from cable way back in April of ‘04. So eventually I get credited money on my account, I get my bill back down to the original price and I get upgraded from a 1.5mbit to a 3.0mbit connection. I didn’t feel wowed and all get out like I was supposed to be made to feel….I just felt satisfied that I wasn’t going to be paying $50. Oh yeah, I then got 2 more calls immediately afterwards from SBC people that was really annoying.
No Funlumbus this weekend…..but I’m still getting spicy enchiladas made. Guess I’ll just have to eat them here. I think this probably works out better in the long run cause there’s a lot I need to get done here with moving soon and whatnot.
Have I mentioned I saw The Island? That was definitely a rockin film. I would suggest getting out there to check it out. And while you’re at it, feel free to participate in Hell Week at The Voiz.
