Sticking it to Comcast

This morning (right before working on a project, mind you) my internet adventitiously turned off on me. I called Comcast up and they told me four other people in my area were having a internet problem as well. The earliest they could send out a tech to examine my problem was Wednesday.

One and a half hours later my internet was back! I called them up to cancel the tech and joking asked them for my 8.4 cents back ($42 a month/31 days in May/24 hours a day=5.6 cents per hour). I told them I’d make them a deal; I’d round it down to 8 cents and wouldn’t even charge for the lost work reparations. Shockingly, they agreed to credit back 8 cents.

Those 8 cents add up- 8 cents today, 8 cents tomorrow, maybe 9 cents next week. Soon, I won’t even have a bill to pay. Good idea to call them if an outage occurs and get your money back.
