| Cancelling service on a phone number port makes sense, but
Canceling video should be the responsibility of the subscriber. I know Verizon likes to take advantage of existing wiring, and VZ is only "thinking of the customer" when it wants to make things easy. So, it does make some sense to argue Verizon should be able to cancel cable, but that's a real stretch.
If it was me, I'd like to opportunity to switch video feed from one source to the other, if I really wanted to compare, and be given the opportunity to cancel the Verizon video service and keep the cable. That's if *I* wanted to.
Of course, I canceled cable back in 1984, and waited for FiOS TV when it was available earlier this year. 
Canceling phone service is necessary, however, because of the ported number problem. You can't have two services pointing at the same number. |

00000 | Porting a number away will not automatically close an account. The customer should call and cancel the service voice, internet, or video. |

I would never allow Verizon cancel my service to anything. They can't get simple things like appointments, adding or removing service (forget billing) straight, can you imagine them getting involved in your cable service? |
