Charter, Again

We're back with Charter for internet again. Here's the stupid thing; I call on Friday and I'm hooked up on Monday--one business day for lead time. If they had done that in the first place we never would have canceled! And, I only wanted the internet service but it was $12 cheaper to buy internet and basic cable instead of internet alone. So now I have basic cable that isn't even hooked up to anything. Is it just me, or does that seem a little retarded?
