my wife is ready to sell the house in The Villages. She is bent out of shape over the greed of Comcast. Before she does something stupid, I need to find ann answer.
Please help me. I love The Villages. Don't want to live in NY anymore.

We have Comcast Cable only, so far, in the Villages, since we are part timers.
I spoke to Comcast back in March about a "Vacation Hold" and was told that the timeline was April 1st - July 15th to request a vacation hold. So I chose to start it April 1st for a 2 to 6 month period ending December 8th, for a one time fee of $60.00, was also told that the price in the Villages is different than elsewhere, also depends on the type of setup one has, ie HD DVR, etc. NOTE: YOU not only pay a one time fee, you also pay a monthly fee for the Cable Box/HD DVR. So needless to say that by mid April we had decided that we would be needing the cable back on, because we planned an unexpected trip to the villages in May, so we had Comcast remove the Vacation Hold for April 1st, we had already paid the 60.00 dollars and our next bill was for 2 months (April & May minus the $60.00) for a total of $203.00. We are now back on Vacation Hold which started June 1st. We will no doubt get another bill for the June 1st Vacation Hold (60.00), plus taxes/fees/charges for cable box/DVR. I VERY MUCH DISLIKE HAVING TO PAY OUTLANDISH AMOUNTS FOR CABLE SERVICES, TAXES, FEES AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY CAN TACK ON!!! I know my story rambles on and on, however if it appears confusing to you, then you know how confused I am about this whole process!!!
