Service Offers To Cancel Your Comcast For You For $5

Breaking up, as the classic song states, is difficult to accomplish and often involves having to escalate your request to the Retentions department where things can get emotional and downright needy — at least when you’re talking about breaking up with your cable company. That’s why one service says it will cut your Comcast cord for you, for a fee, of course.

A company called AirPaper claims that if you pay them five bucks and provide them the info needed to call Comcast on your behalf, they will be the ones who have to repeatedly explain “I don’t want landline phone service or an alarm system or two free months of The Movie Channel” instead of you.

“We take care of the process on your behalf,” reads the company’s FAQ. “In the event there are complications, we reach out to you to either get the needed information or let you know if we won’t be able to complete the process for some reason.”

AirPaper says it has plans to navigate other annoying bureaucratic mazes, like getting a parking permit in San Francisco or getting a visa for travel to China.

Let’s just hope they don’t get into the business of waiting in line for you at the restaurant.

BIG NOTE SO NO ONE YELLS AT US: We have not tried this service and therefore can’t say anything good or bad about it, or whether it works at all. We are in no way endorsing or recommending it. We’re just pointing out that it exists.
