Re: Couldn't happen to a nicer company

The problem is when I went to cancel. The retention agents were horrible and abusive. After asking nicely no less than a dozen times I was finally forced to start yelling at the asswipe "I just want to cancel" over and over and over before the douche finally got it through his thick head. And I'm not alone. Virtually everyone I've talked to who had cancelled had to run the same gauntlet. I would have considered going back if my next provider didn't work out but with that level of abuse, no way.
Ridiculous! Companies continue to make it harder and harder to cancel services. They rely on providing a high level of customer frustration (not service) to wear you down. Pathetic!

I was thinking about moving to Vonage from Comcast Digital Voice when my special is up but guess what? I won't be going there now!

Thanks for sharing, bud.

Laguna Hills, CA		 It's like these retention agents are paid by how many people they retain.

Tell them you are moving out of their service area.
I canceled my XM radio account that way. I told them I was moving to Germany. Guess what XM doesn't have service in Germany. How ever the XM csr did ask when I would be moving back to the States! LOL.. I told him never.

But none the less I was able to cancel my account with very little hassle.

I called to cancel. Took 2 minutes, no retention crap.

Did something change?
