$7.34
Posted on February 22, 2004 @ 11:03 am
After much deliberation, my cable company has determined that a week’s worth of broadband Internet access is worth precisely $7.34 — i.e. the amount that the customer service representative somewhat begrudgingly agreed to deduct from my cable bill next month to compensate for my recent week-long service outage. Woo-hoo! I’m heading to Subway!
Naturally, I brought up my numerous late-night trips to school to administer the online portions of my course, as well as the four or five hours I spent on the phone with technical support, but they wouldn’t budge. Oh, well…at least my Internet connection is running smoothly again. For now.

This article was recently featured on Slashdot. This is not what it’s like where I work, but it’s a very interesting read, and a great story. Watch the GE ad for a daypass.
Damnit, I’m starting to sound just like them.
