Had a surprisingly hard-sell-free conversation with RCN just now, and my monthly cable bill just got cheaper by $85. They're even pro-rating my current bill. Or they will once I get around to handing them back their box, anyway.

Someone's been teaching them some customer-service lessons since the last time I talked to them... good! (He did tell me some in-between options I could take that involved keeping the TV service, but when I said I just wasn't watching TV, he didn't press the issue.)

We'll see how this works out.



Going to make another call now to see if I can get a totally outta-left-field prezzie for my parents and Ricky. I've had a brochure for the American Cribbage Congress on my kitchen counter since Origins 2004 for exactly this purpose, and the spirit finally moves me to call em up and get some memberships. They will love this!

I only now just figured out that the reason my Tivo has been mis-recording things for more than two weeks (I recorded two hours of The Weather Channel instead of the movie you recommended, [livejournal.com profile] modpixie) hasn't been the Tivo's fault at all... it's my channel lineup that's gone bonkers!! A little while ago I had SpikeTV where I should have had PBS, and now I have MSNBC in the same spot?! And The Daily Show has moved to the Fox News Channel, apparently.

The problem was strange and novel enough to move the RCN tech support person to not treat me like an idiot there solely to waste her time. So a technician is due to visit Thursday noonish.
