That's the glory of having a virtual monopoly and charging me a hundred bucks a month for internet and basic digital cable.
You meant one hundred bucks a month for occasional internet and basic cable that works about half the time. I ended up getting credit for over ONE HALF of last month because I had called twice a day due to there being no TV signal, and the Internet connection going dead every 5 minutes. On top of this, at the same time, I got the notice of rates going up starting in January at the same time. I also continually was asked to call from my home phone because my Lingo voip provided me with a number based in Alexandria, and I am in Woodbridge, VA. I found it absurd that they don't have a problem taking this number as my billing phone number, and I'm sure they would call it quickly if I hadn't paid my bill, but they don't want me calling them from it because the prefix doesn't match my location? That's just silly.
