I got one of those "stealing cable service" letters from Comcast; or, more
accurately, a door-hanger on my front door. It was shortly after they
took over the local cable system from AT&T, and over a year after I fired
AT&T.

The droid who left the door-hanger obviously did not see the DirecTV multi
satellite dish on the roof, nor that their cable (cheap RG-59 crap) was
cut at the point where it came out of the ground and no longer soiled the
outside of my house with its presence.

Ever since then, I get a letter, flyer, or other advertisement from
Comcast every 2-3 days begging me to be their customer again. They also
want to be my ISP.

When pigs fly, maybe.
