on monday i get home from work at 7:13 ready for the game to start at 7:30
turn the tube on at 7:28 and I get a
"You service has been interrupted. Please call 1-800-XFINITY to resolve any issues"

Then I start cussin "bae! you pay the cable bill!?!?!?"

call Comcast and it is the past due bills dept

the recording said I needed to pay $150 IMMEDIATELY
i said fuck that and got a person on the phone
the CSR said I needed to pay $370!!!!!!
I'm like WHOOOOAAAAA

long story short, i paid that shit
five seconds after he got my CC info my tv INSTANTLY came back on
and check it, my "regular" bill should be $180 a month
$140 for triple play pack, hbo, showtime and some other premium channels then $35.99 for two cable boxes

soon as i got off the phone i told my wife she better go buy some rabbit ears tomorrow cause we can't be paying $6 a day for cable tv that she dont even watch
"well you watch football!!!!"
im like fuck that, i'll figure out a way online


funny shit is, i called my sister in san diego who has cox and her shit zonked out in the middle of the 1st quarter!!!
she paid her lil $150 past due amount
but before she could enter the 3 digit code on the back of her card her TV came back on!!!
she called tuesday cussin and fussin and they credited her like $150 for some BS she made up
im gonig to do the same with comcast today


all i know is im going to invest in cable companies
$2000 per year per household???
these mofos CAKING

but i need a tmobile or spirit air type cable company
tmobile killed the game with no contracts
spirit air killed the game with "pay as you go" airfares

i lie to you not i remember when our Pacific Bell bill was like $11.95 a month
no call waiting
no three way calling
no *69
just a got damn PHONE!!!
we had four or five channels on TV
channel 51 KUSI
channel 6 was fox
channel 8 was CBS
channel 10 was ABC
channel 39 was NBC
channel 13 was PBS

that was IT!!!
