When I moved into my apartment, I signed up for both Roadrunner and Verizon DSL, and have been paying for both ever since. DSL (which took about a month to get set up) was more reliable, but Roadrunner was almost twice as fast. Today, I was like, hey, it would be cool not to pay $30+ every month for this shit.
Oops.
They'll be happy to disconnect my service, but at some point, while I was signing up for this and five other utility services, they slipped in the fact that it was a one-year contract without me noticing. So guess who's stuck paying for DSL until the end of March 2002, whether I get the service or not?
And what about the fact that I'm paying for an inferior service?
"We don't guarantee any particular speed, but if you want to talk to tech support, they can work with you in regards to getting the speeds up, and if there's a technical problem, they can file that as the reason for suspension of service." So guess who gets to spend some quality time on the phone with some condescending tech support fucknut dweeb, only to be told I'm stuck paying for this shit because it's working up to their unstated specifications? My ass.
Signed,
