It'll be interesting to see, when you're employed again and making a good living, if the same cable company can suddenly get you an even better package deal because it's a new account. I've heard of people who cycle between 2 companies so they always have the best new deal, or who even cancel and then restart at intervals for the same reason.

Online bill pay is so much better - much easier than trying to figure out when to mail the check. Don't want it to hit the bank before the paycheck does, but mailing the day the paycheck hits will get it there late. . .don't miss that at all.
