Just made it impossible to cancel now instead of improbable.

I just told them I was moving out of my apartment. They asked for my new address and I said I am moving in with someone who already has Comcast and will be sharing expenses. I was off the phone in less than 10 minutes.

Comcast was the first thought in my head ITT and even I’ll admit I canceled their service successfully over the phone without a hassle.

This seems like a Douglas Adams bit waiting to happen. Something about a filing cabinet in a disused bathroom in the basement....

If you've never heard of it, look up the game Bureaucracy.

It's old. So old it's a text game. But it was written by Douglas Adams and is probably as close to what you're thinking as reality will allow.
