September, 2010 Solfest'...More cable bill rage.<br /><br />September, 2010 Solfest's cable bill moved up again to 38.80.<br /><br />Today Solfest's cable company was kind enough to inform him that his bill will be moving up to $40.90 on April 1st.<br /><br />I will wait until April 1st just to make sure this is not a April Fools Joke, and if not, I will cancel cable once and for all.Solfesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600177979199165880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294296041883029217.post-4946262850516735622009-09-08T17:16:42.573-06:002009-09-08T17:16:42.573-06:00The Google Bot is all knowing and all wise.The Google Bot is all knowing and all wise.Solfesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600177979199165880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294296041883029217.post-47477175498367441832009-09-08T17:09:10.277-06:002009-09-08T17:09:10.277-06:00solfest:

On the subject of your second parag...Dear Solfest:<br /><br />On the subject of your second paragraph, let's have MY people meet with YOUR people; and I'm sure that they can reach an out-of-court settlement.<br /><br />On the more important subject of your cable bill, I would suggest (seriously) that you call them up, and tell them that you just got an offer from DirecTV to switch, and it's extremely tempting, and that you are willing to commit to another year with the cable company if they give you a $15 per month credit on your bill. My guess is they will offer you a $10 credit. <br /><br />If this works (and I will bet a wooden nickel that it does), you can send me my 10% commission via PayPal.<br /><br />With regards,<br />Rocky HumbertRocky Humberthttp://www.rockyhumbert.comnoreply@blogger.com
