Cancelling an internet service

Cancelling almost always requires a phone call, and that is not an accident. Chat will not do it, the website will not do it, and the phone route is deliberately slow.

The retention script that follows is a negotiation you did not ask for, in the vocabulary of contracts and promotional periods.

We make the request plainly, decline the offers, and tell you where it landed.

For example
Fourteen months of a service he cancelled

He cancelled online, or thought he had. The charge kept arriving. Cancelling for real required a phone call to a department whose entire job was to talk him out of it, and so it kept arriving.

You write this, in any language

Please call my internet provider and cancel my service at the end of the current billing period. I don't want any retention offers.

What comes back

The cancellation status, the effective date, and any equipment you must return.

Nothing is dialled until you confirm. US numbers, called in English.

How it works

  2. Check the call before it happensYou see who is being called and what will be said. Nothing is dialled until you confirm.
  3. We make the call in EnglishIncluding the hold music, the phone tree, and calling back when nobody picks up.
  4. Read what happenedThe result and the full transcript, line by line, in your language.

Questions people ask

What about returning the equipment?

That is the question that catches people, so the agent asks it: what has to go back, by when, and to where. Unreturned equipment fees are one of the most common surprise charges after a cancellation.

What if my English isn't good?

That is who this is built for. You write or speak your request in your own language — English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean or Russian. The call itself is placed in English, and the transcript and result come back to you in your language.

How do I know what was actually said?

Every call comes back with a full transcript, line by line with timings, plus a short summary of the outcome. Calls are not recorded — you get the text, not the audio.

Does the person on the other end know it's an AI?

Yes. Every call opens by saying it is an AI assistant calling on your behalf. That sentence is written into the code, not left to the model to decide, so it cannot be skipped.

Hand this one over

It takes about a minute to set up, and then it is off your list.
