I Hate my ISP/Cable Company!!!

Well, after battling with my cable company over my bill, I'm back online. First thing this morning I had to go to one of their "walk-in centers" and pay up my bill (that was a fight too). B4 I leave they tell me that my service should be turned on by the time I get home, it wasn't. So I call them up and they tell me that my bill was overdue. I tell them that I just went to their "walk-in center" and paid it. Then they put me on hold for like 10 mins. When she finally comes back on she still says that I didn't pay up yet. I tell her again that I was just at their place and they assured me that it would be on by the time I got home. She puts me on hold AGAIN for 10 minutes and says sorry it doesn't show up. I get p/o-ed and demand to speak to a supervisor. After being on hold for another 10 minutes, the supervisor tells me the same thing. I explain AGAIN that I was there, blah, blah. Another 10 mins on hold and same thing. So I ask to speak to his supervisor. After 20 minutes this time, I spoke to Wilson, explained my whole deal and FINALLY he's able to do something. He apologizes up and down and then I ask him why I'm paying $40/mo for this crappy service and he apologizes again and gave me a free month.:D
Eventhough it turned out OK and I got a free month of internet access, what a hassle!!!:mad:
Anyone else have a cable company/ISP nightmare story?

no it works like anywhere else but what makes this country so great is that they never (well, almost never) mess up! the service here is great, for anything.

their social hierarchy goes like this: 3) the emperor. 2) god. 1) the customer!
:D

Yeah, sure, rub it in Bubu!:D

How does it work over there? Is everyone just online? Or do you connect through school or something?
