Wow, I would have preferred the discount on my bill. Than again, perhaps it's because if I call for their services they increase so much everything cost me more then the $5. It's amazing how lack of competition is a great means of overcharging customers (or should I say, rip off. (No, perhaps it's competition in cahoots, ie. light companies in TX, deregulation, HA!) Enough said. Worse, if they changed to Comcast(ic!, I have a different definition than their commericals), like in my case, I get a huge check of $5.

What a ripoff, I don't know why this was an acceptable "payback." My girlfriend received some stupid Rent 1 Get 1 Free coupons from Hollywood Video when they erroneously charged people late fees.

I'm eligible for a couple of free pay-per-view movies or a month of some premium service. Both of these would require a couple of things. First, I would have to still be one of their customers. I am, but not everyone is. And second, I would have to be renting a cable box, which I'm not. I'm sure that the lawyers who "represented" me in this class action lawsuit got paid in cold, hard cash. Instead, I'm eligible for services I can't use. Yup, I got a notice about this. I’m eligible for a couple of free pay-per-view movies or a month of some premium service.
