- You guys are luck. TCI cable in Denver suburbs will disconnect your
- service if you are 20 days late in paying! Last month I was busy any
- didn't watch TV at all for about 1 week. I turned on the TV to find snow.
- Checked my cable bill, found that I was 30 days late, and that they
- wanted $60.00 to reconnect! I called them, told them that I thought
- that was rediculous. They offered to reconnect for $15, and that they
- would discount my bill by $15 (for the week that it was disconnected).
- So it didn't cost me a penny to reconnect.
