| No way
If I was a cable operator, I wouldn't trust a competitor to speak for what to the cable operator are still customers.
Cable is right on this one. If the cable customer wants to cancel, let the cable customer call and go through the verification process to do so. |

Any problems with that statement?  |

Laguna Hills, CA | What is why you have 3rd party verification for number porting. When I ported my number from telco to cable I had to go through 3rd party verification. |

4 edits | Because it's not necessary (unless you're talking about number porting to cable in which case they already do, I went through it with TWC and Cox from Verizon and then Pacbell)
You have to with number porting because you can't have 2 providers stuck with the same phone number, there has to be a hand off. It's a technical limitation. You can have FiOS TV and Cable TV at the same time or DSL and Cable HSI at the same time. |

much of the stuff with phones has to work the way it does with number porting because of E911 Databases. this is also why you cant always port a number.
