I have had no less than 200 calls from our local cable company (Cablevision) trying to get me to sign up for their "triple play" deal which includes TV, Cable and Phone. I have two of the three and I have held out on the phone service.. (I heard things)..Since I've been home I have had the time-killing opportunity of looking at the caller ID and if it's Optimum (Cablevision) I don't answer. Now it's become an obsession, however, I am thinking of switching over to save $100 a month on my useless landline carrier..I keep thinking, OK, I will answer next time they call. Well, they called about 25 minutes ago and I didn't answer. I need rehearsal time to ask all the key questions. I'd love to know how much money they've spend on their recent advertising campaign. It's all over the TV - in multiple languages, newspaper and radio, inserts in the freakin Pennysaver and of course direct mail brochures..I am wondering when (and if) I answer their next call if I can riff with the sales person..
"Sayyyyyy, you called me more than 200 times, do I get some kind of annoyance discount?" I'm sure they will be responsive and sympathetic. I actually DID talk to someone there about 3 months ago and he couldn't answer one technical question I had so my fear of change kicked in. Sure, I've got cable phone now but my DVR stopped working and my internet is flakey. I need to have better answers..It's a crap shoot who answers and a bigger crap shoot as to who shows up at the house.. (damn, and I will have to hide all my illegal splitters or bribe the tech to stay out of Optimum jail).. Oh, God, there's the phone now... stay tuned..
