Re: [CGUYS] Sorry (should have been Re: cancelling Comcast)

Unless you're on a long-term contract, you should be able to cancel
everything as of that day and not have to pay for anything you don't or
won't use.

If they ask you to pay for the rest of the month, I'd contact your local
City government.  While they probably have little to do with the
Internet service, they do have some say over Comcast's TV service.

Expletive it!  That is the second time in a row that I have forgotten to
edit the subject line to reflect the message I was replying to.  Even  
worse,
when I tried to correct myself last time, I discovered I'd sent the  
message
to myself!  Too much vacation, I guess.  I'll try to be more careful  
in the future.

(I get the mailing list in digest form,
otherwise I'd be checking my email way too often.)

I'm including the errant message below so that searches will find it
properly:

 I am also getting rid of Comcast for Verizon FIOS.  I am scheduled for
 Friday, July 18 for the FIOS install.  Verizon told me to wait until  
 I was
 completely sure that the FIOS install was done properly before  
 canceling
 Comcast.  I figure that the weekend will be long enough for me to  
 see if
 the FIOS is working, and I will be canceling the following Monday.
 I have a Comcast (dis)service center less than a mile away and will be
 taking my cable box and remote there and cancel in person.  I suspect
 that I will have to pay out for the whole billing period, though.
