confident they would operate like most other cable companies

Oh god, imagine this being the best case scenario

I remember the first time i had to go in to drop off my set top boxes after a move (back near the turn of the century) and the cable company customer service was behind 6" of bulletproof lexan.

With a bank style secure drawer to deal with the boxes.

Not a good sign for agreeable customer service.
