She thought the work was going to be no charge. (Free? Is this her first experience with cable?)

    WOW! WHAT did she hope to gain? In the OLD days, they came out to turn a switch or something to enable your cable, and maybe facilitate your placement. But THAT was when the cable was compatible with the TV. TODAY, it ISN'T!

    TODAY, it works pretty much like it did, but there is a box that is keyed to convert the signal to your tv. THAT means that even if she DID force the guy to do it, and tricked the company into enabling the box, and locked up EVERYTHING, so nobody could get to it, it can later AUTOMATICALLY and REMOTELY disable it, and you have NOTHING!

    She overreacted, but I can relate to her fury. If something isn't free, don't advertise it as "free."

    Here's what I'd like to know... Did Comcast close her account after that, or do they want to retain customers who pull guns on their workers?

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.
