things to do when planning a move---😬

Am moving by the end of this month--have movers lined up , rented a storage unit, for over flow--- and have been moving bits and pieces on the weekends to the new place---but still more to pack up--got the garage looking beautiful--all things labeled where they go and stacked. even got a truly great deal on the movers via my DB--still a lot of $$-🫤--now I have been on the phone,for many hours these last weeks taking care of renters ins, power started in new place, and yesterday was on the phone nearly 45 minutes cancelling Xfinity and having to listen to the spiel reasons NOT to quit---dear gawd LADY--- just cancel the dang thing---found out the plan I have now--is no longer available an that the "new" plan was bumped up to $198 a month this month!!!! But she could get that down to $181 a month--I pay $185 now!!! Just for cable and internet--no streaming no fancy channels--our cell phones are also Xfinity and if we stay with them--there's another $50 each month---we pay $60 now for 2 lines--would be $110 plus the BS fees!!!! But finally got all that done----Xfinity is run by the devil--am sure!!!

I wonder if I'll be able to get a landline by the time we move. The thought of all those changes would scare me. Heck, going to the DMV to change my driver's license would throw me for a loop!

We used Comcast/Xfinity for a while, and you couldn't PAY me to ever use their so-called "services" again!!! Smiley Sad

Yes.  Have no doubt.  It's a fact.

 

Xfinity must be some kind of anagram.  I just haven't figured it out yet.

I suspect it's the same thing I've said about Verizon, too.  It's why we switched our phones to Xfinity.

I think Xfinity is a racket, too, BUT, I switched my ATT cell service to Xfinity and my first bill is 12.91. This is for a year.  I will say my cable/internet bill is high, but it's only been out a few times in 30 years.  We no longer go out a lot, spending at concerts and shows, so it IS our entertainment.  

Many I hear are disgusted with Verizon, as they took a local channel away that broadcast many NFL games.  

 

@wagirl   Getting close on your final move.  Yay!  Make sure you check any addresses changes for your paperless accts.  Somehow when I moved last year an account didn't get updated, and then had a slight issue.  I also know for a fact USPS did not forward for a year as they stated, as many got returned mail a few months in.  (Christmas cards and packages in 2024).

I actually filled a complaint with the FCC about Xfinity. They tried to do the old bait and switch with me one month after I moved here. FCC called me to investigate then contacted Xfinity.  A British guy from Xfinity followed up with me.(I know it's hard to believe but there is at least one person who works there that speaks proper English).  😁

 

Long story short, they ended up giving me what was promised, and more.  Of course they would not do anything until the FCC was involved.  Hate them.
