Comcast still tries to charge me $70/month for a few digital channels I watch and they won't unbundle, as well as a DCH-3200 descrambler box that they force me to use by needlessly scrambling QAM64/QAM256 encrypted channels, but at least the process of getting the bill lowered to something somewhat more reasonable is less painful today.
I went to www.askcomcast.com/CA as per the bill as opposed to calling the poke my eyes out in pain 800-Comcast, and 10mn later clock time, it was done.

Hello, Marc.
Marc_(Wed Nov 04 2009 15:43:39 GMT-0800 (PST))
do you have access to my account?
Rotcelyn(Wed Nov 04 2009 18:43:57 GMT-0800 (PST))
I need to ask for your account number.
I see here that you want to have new prices set for your account, correct?

Thank you so much for that.

this is a long running problem where I am forced to use your descrambling box against my will since I have QAM64/QAM256 capable TVs and DVRs
I've already talked to your executive staff several times about this and basically they just lower my price since I only watch 7 of your channels,
3 of which now needlessly force me to use and pay for the DCH 3200 tuner/descrambler
That price adjustement just timed out so I'd like you to re-enable it :)
Marc_(Wed Nov 04 2009 15:46:02 GMT-0800 (PST))
so basically if you can reset the old price, that would be fine
It's still more than what I should pay for 7 channels, but it'll do

take your time, I multitask too :)
Rotcelyn(Wed Nov 04 2009 18:50:23 GMT-0800 (PST))
Marc, the best thing I can do to your account is to apply $20 off for 12 mos. So, for 12 mos, you will only have to pay $41.99 for the cable service.

Will this work for you?
Marc_(Wed Nov 04 2009 15:50:51 GMT-0800 (PST))
that would be fine, thank you
Rotcelyn(Wed Nov 04 2009 18:50:56 GMT-0800 (PST))
