Couldn't agree with the above posters more. It's not "ridiculous" at all. It was awesome when I dumped Verizon as a cell phone provider and I didn't have to call them. Likewise, if/when FiOS comes to my area, I'd love to dump Comcast just as easily.
While I wholeheartedly agree that we shouldn't "have" to call the companies we're dumping and should be allowed to let our new companies take care of that for us.....as someone who just dumped TWC for U-verse, I can't begin to tell you how much fun it was calling TWC to let them know I was leaving. They practically cried and begged and offered me cheaper service. It may be an indication of how sad my life is...but that was a great phone call.
In fact if you know U-verse/Fios is in/near your area, call your provider and tell them you're thinking of leaving. See what great offers you may just all of a sudden qualify for......
