At the time I was a 13 year customer of Comcast. In 2016 I was looking at a new house that had just been built and had no cable lines run through its underground conduit, was told that it would cost $2,700 by Comcast Site Survey to get services at this newly built house. Site Survey goes quiet for a month! After I purchase they said it's suddenly $6,500 to get services installed!

I read Comcast's King County Franchise Agreement, engage King County Cable Administration and suddenly the installation is FREE. And the installation should have been done nearly four months prior (Eight months if you count the builder who was quoted $8,000 in Feb 2016), The franchise agreement clearly stated a few key things, 1) In an area with more than 1,000 people per linear mile they cover install and 2) costs for install for the first 150 feet are covered by Comcast

For me, I have a 350 foot driveway, but they were trying to charge me the fee to attach to the power pole for my property which was 20 feet across from their lines on the main road. That was the major charge right there is Comcast's 'lease' of the power pole that was only there to service my house...

Makes you wonder how can a $6,500 bill suddenly be zero unless someone is trying to screw over the customer?

Does the US Gov't just want SpaceX to move out of country and then broadcast?

Doesn't mean that other citizens of the US appreciate being blocked from supporting their country.

The accusations that transgender will result in high medical costs is unfounded. If there are concerns with any transition effects then work around by allowing the time served to be before or after the transition. But be respectful of the needs of our patriotic soldiers, they are serving the citizens proudly.

I quit Directv after only 7 months - their 'standard professional install' did not document their behavior of leaving the two dishes (standard and international) on bricks on the ground for 7 months. They moved during winter and refused to come out to complete the install. Upon cancelling they attempted to charge me full termination rate until I forced them to consider the install as being part of the contract - standard professional install != on bricks on ground. I read through the contractors instructions for install and that was not a option. But even with that they still charged me $60 for the termination - less than half the remaining amount - I went with this instead of wasting time with arbitration. Funny - they can charge me for an incomplete install but supposedly I have to be held to a contract that was not fulfilled by their end!

So, I tried hard a few days ago to win the Juicy Coutur bag, and found that for a short while the auction was going at 16 and 46 minutes after the hour - if you follow the "Search Now" link from their $1 banner showing the products of the day - you can then set your advanced search for "between $1 and $1" and also check the "Free Shipping" then you order the products by "Just Listed"

I was able to see the Juicy Coutur bag listed 3 times in a row at the 15/16 and 45/46 minute after the hour mark - however, even with a fast SHIFT+REFRESH of the browser - those items were gone the instant they were posted and the counter was "1 view" - that should have beenb my view! Yet the product was already gone.

There was simply no chance to get the items - I attempted for others but could not find the pattern as they were removed too quickly and auctioned off at wierd times - such as the digital photo display, started midnight, according to the # left it didn't auction until early morning and then suddenly at 10 AM there was only about a dozen left, then at 2pm there were 30+ left.

It would have made the search more fair to change up the price, offer 'rebate' to change the random price to the $1, and modify the submitted time stamp to not just make it a brand new auction, but rather one that you seriously had to search for and find - not just grab the newly posted one dollar free shipping item as soon as it showed up :(
