Wow, tommyrot. Is DirecTV or anything like that a possibility where you live, because I think I'd be kicking Comcast to the curb immediately after this BS. I've already been tempted to ditch my cable modem and take the speed hit in favor of DSL's more-reasonable prices, but after the Comcast techs spent several hours running me a brand new and better quality cable to fix my connection problems in October, I'd feel kind of guilty about it.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can only speak for my neighbourhood, but I'm cable modem's bitch. So much faster than DSL was.

Good lord, Daisy Jane. I just figured out who you are. Consider me slow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, they're trying to figure something out. The woman who did the charge was just incredibly inept - I had a bad feeling about the whole thing even before all the bank craziness happened.
I'm very happy with my Comcast internet - it's very fast.

Yup. Of course, I don't have to deal with Comcast, so I have less to complain about.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it possible you want a caffeine-free diet coke, or are you off soda entirely?
No to both. CFDC tastes like ass to me. I need to go see if they have something bubbly I want to drink, other than fizzy water.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love my cable modem connection, but I just feel like I'm getting reemed on the cost between in and my cable TV. And then accidently charging me an extra $2500 and then saying "Sorry, but we have no record of that" would just send me into a tizzy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Diet Sprite is my fave.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Holy shit, tommyrot! That's nuts.
I need to call Comcast and explain to them that it's not OK to charge me twice for one month's service, just because the primary name on the account changed. But in the meantime, I'm on hold with TracFone to try to switch my phone number and service from my crappy old phone to the new one. bleh. It seems so strange to me that there was once a time when you could fix things like this by actually going to an office somewhere and just talking to a live person.
