So I just waited for about 15 mintues on hold to cancel my speakeasy account. I suppose I waited a long time because I called at such an odd time. Anyhow, the guy that finally picked up was suprisingly pleasant. He just quickly asked me for the reason I’m quitting (I just gave him some blurb about how I used to run a home server, but now I don’t so I don’t need the expensive service anymore) and he just replied “ok, it’s done.” It’s very refreshing to not have them come after you with a whole thing about how you should stay and how they can sweeten the deal.
And then one may think… why is Ken writing about such trivial things? Well, he just likes that he can type on his clacky keyboard again, so he feels like writing about whatever comes to mind.
P.S. The real reason is that I was paying ~$100 month for 3.0/768 service and I switched to comcast which gives me 8.0/768 for $70. Even with $10/month for dreamhost and $5/month for smugmug, I still come out on the plust side.
