This is a fiber optics cable company and I'm thinking it is cell phone rates..

Well I called them back and told them not to cancel my account after all.

Values must have changed within 60 minutes.

No my dear , I got another discount within the last 60 minutes. HA HA

It turns out some idiot from COMCAST accidentally disconnected her townhouse in the green box outside. I told her to watch her bill and make sure they don't charge her for that service visit. They aren't supposed to since it was an issue outside but who knows, they might. If anything they should pay her or credit her account for being without service for 3 days.

The Cable companies , Satellite companies , and Car Insurance companies are all right there together . They rip off the customers with outlandish rates. They are all very close kin to our lying politicians.

The jokes on us.

No , I have NEVER in all my life ( and I am a LOT older than you) known of ANY phone company giving free unlimited long distance . You get what you pay for.

The 1980"s . Ha ha. Sounds like your in dreamland .

Are we talking about land-line phone svc? I get unlimited long-dist U.S./Canada svc with my Verizon FIOS bundle ('net) and land-line phone svc.

Hey no stealing my lines.
