I have to question Richard on this interaction though. There is no way 
in hell a Comcast customer service rep would respond like that. Not at 
least without putting you on hold 5 times and then still, wouldn't 
know what in the hell you're talking about. In the end, the service 
rep would tell you they need to dispatch someone to your house.

Hah, yes they did seem to skip over the usual "bad ratios? have you 
tried rebooting your cable modem?" part didn't they. I suppose I should 
have added the phrase "highly fictionalized", but Xtranormal has 
something against allowing punctuation in their descriptions, and the 
existing one was confusing enough.

FYI a bunch of people complained that the voices were hard to 
distinguish, so I did a modified version which is a little more 
intelligable. It's also linked to from the original, as part of the same 
series.
