DONT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER GO TO OKINAWA (cry) I have to quit FF not because i want to. I had finnaly got over my last char getting deleted, and I finnaly started having fun in the game again. Sadly as a Lance Corporal in the Marine Corps I make about 600 dollars every two weeks. Well im having problems with the jackasses that work on the cable company. They keep sending me bills with the internet price rising. First it was 100 dollars just to get it installed. Then they send me a bill a DAY before cutt off saying i need to pay 72 Dollars by tommorow (they are only open during my own working hours so i have to go on the weekends) or the shut off my internent. This has happened every friggin month. And despite my complaints they do it every month. So im just tired of dealing with them, and getting my service cutt off. And im not heading back to the states until next year so looks like im off FF for good.

sad that being nice screws you over, but being a jerk gets you what you need.

Post by **Sugami** » Wed Mar 15, 2006 1:24 pm

Hehe you don't have to be a jerk, just assertive and don't give up

Blackroses · Post by **Blackroses** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 12:39 am

Atleast take a M249 you can have alot more fun with that

Blackroses · Post by **Blackroses** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:39 pm

hmm tempting, but a little too messy. How about the M203? Quick and effective.

Kahvi · Post by **Kahvi** » Tue Mar 21, 2006 10:44 pm

That all depends on the message you wanna send when you walk in with it.

Blackroses · Post by **Blackroses** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 12:09 am

Okay I got a phone call from them (just as I got my handy dandy M203) and this is exactly how it went:

Me: Hello?

CCB: This is the Mediadi cable company, responding to your message

Me: Yes. Why did you guys cutt off my internet after I paid you?

CCB: We didnt recieve your payment until today.

Me: But i mailed it in the drop box like you requested. After all, you did send the bill the day before Cuttoff.

CCB: Im sorry sir, thats not our fault. We mailed it the first week of March.

Me: So its my fault then?

CCB: No sir. But we cannot control the Post office.

Me: So why did I get the Cutt off bill, and STILL havent recieved the orignal bill?

CCB: Im sorry sir but, we sent it out.

Me: Fine. F*ck it. But still, this has been going on every month. WHY havent you guys sent me the bill?

CCB: Sir whether you recieve the bill or not, you should KNOW that what the monthly fee is, and send it before cutt off.

Me: Id do that but your foregetting something (<<< is very pissed at that moment) IVE NEVER RECIEVED A FRIGGIN BILL. Every month Ive been cutt off. How am I supposed to know how much to pay.

CCB: When you first sign up we tell you the price.

Me: Yes. You told me it was $39.48 a month. Yes right now your charging me $78.56.

CCB: Well sir, your paying for the re-installment as well.

Me: IT WOULDNT OF GOT RE-INSTALLED IF YOU HAD SENT THE BILL.

CCB: Im sorry sir, but there is nothing we can do about that.

Me: FINE. how long before my sh*t gets turned back on.

CCB:Next Monday.

Me: >.< (Ker-click)

/em turns into the incrdible hulk kitty and starts smashing everything around him.

So was it my fault or not (and btw re-installment charge is only $15. Am i stupid cause last i checked 39 + 15 doesnt equal 72?)

Blackroses · Post by **Blackroses** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 4:13 am

okay. Okay. Once again after spamming them with calls. They turned it back on today. I hope this prob never occurs again. Heck Ive lost so many hours gaming, I gotta make them up

Post by **Sugami** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 1:24 pm

Hehe sounds like the kind of crap NTL do over here in the UK

Post by **Alya Mizar (Tsybil)** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 4:43 pm

Why do they treat you like that? Because they can. Because they make money doing it. All those extra "re-connection fees" add up.

Anyone else on your base have these problems? Could this be a corprate scam? Does the AJ's office investagate scams against service members?

You could do a LOT more damage to them with a nice investagation than with an M203.

What is an M 203 anyway?

Post by **Yukira** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 4:57 pm

M203 is a grenade launcher: http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m203.htm

You've really had some bad luck with that ISP Blackroses...give 'em some if they do that again!

Which causes more pain, guns or laywers? See if you can give them legal pain rrright now.

M203's are not fully automatic unless you wanna carry a mark-19 around

those are Fun and Exciting

Blackroses · Post by **Blackroses** » Wed Mar 22, 2006 11:15 pm

Hmm try a non violent method? I never though of that

/em puts down his M203 and hires a lawyer

LAWYERS!!! wow that should be the next ffxi job... that would OWN!!!

I thought comcast (usa) was horrid but... Wow... If they EVER treated me like THAT I would sick my station under cover reporter on their @$$eS

Good luck Blackroses.

Post by **Nivez** » Thu Mar 23, 2006 5:35 pm

i got an idea for you, use online billpay if you have it from your bank. if they insist on sending you the bill 1 day before its due, then pay it online instantly when you get it the day before its due. automatically, just set it up to do that and you should be fine.

Blackroses · Post by **Blackroses** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 6:16 am

I wish i could do that. But they dont allow that. Just checks, cash, or money order. Really giving me alot of options there

More and more this is sounding like a corporate scam. Talk to other internet users at your base. Is this happening to them?
