I hate TIme Warner Cable. I will not ever use company again. I had agreed for a 1 yr of contract, first I call to terminate my contract beliving that we only have one months left but one of the customer service said “you signed up for 63 months!!!!*** What the heck… I’ve never heard of 63 months contract…all through calls and many transfered I finally got to speak with a smarter customer service, finally found out that its only 13 months contract…but still due to the promotionally rate I got 3 months fee, but the the actual contract doesn’t start until those 3 months ends…so now I ended up with 15 months contract. I am moving and so there is not Time Waner where I’ll be, they will charge me a ternimation fee of $200 or else I’ll be paying 3-4 more months…which now make it seems $200 is nothing… So please do not use Time Waner, but if you have no choice watch out for this lame contract and this saleman that will trick you into signing up something that you do not even know about. Their customer service doesn’t even care about you, they do not care if you take your business somewhere else.

Most people will just pay the extra money. Hell, even Lin asked me why I didn’t just agree to the extra charge! Well, ’cause it was the principle of the matter. It felt like a damn scam, and $5.75 is enough money I wouldn’t just throw it away on nothing.

That’s because it is. Big American businesses are all banks in the guise of something else. Whatever they purport to do is nothing but a cover for the financial angle. Businesses that heavily depend on discretionary spending, like cable companies, are no longer able to expand because of the depression, so they either up their rates or tack on surcharges for transactions that had hitherto been a normally absorbed business expense. That money goes straight into the bonuses of the sociopaths at the top.

This is also why there’s never going to be a ‘recovery.’ We’re culturally incapable of throwing the money changers from the temple.
