Phone home

I opened a letter from my cable company to see YOUR PHONE SERVICE WILL BE DISCONNECTED in big letters and laughed because I got rid of my landline about ten years ago.

Looking closer, I see two unpaid charges, one for VIDEO CALLS and one for NETWORKING and then I realized it's actually my fiber HDTV and internet connections.

The company's automated unpaid bill notices haven't changed since they were just a phone company. I updated my credit card and all is paid up and good now.
