For $5, This Startup Will Cancel Comcast For You

Everyone’s got a Comcast customer service horror story. With interminable hold times, arcane procedures, and notoriously evasive representatives, the country’s largest cable provider makes even simple queries maddeningly difficult to resolve. Canceling your account with the company, though, is damn near impossible.

Now an Oakland startup is offering to take care of that hassle for you. For the low, low price of $5, AirPaper promises to cancel your Comcast account. You give them your information—including your name, address, and account number—and they initiate a cancellation request on your behalf by sending a letter to your local Comcast branch. Meanwhile, you can sit back, relax, and wait for your cable service to end in the next seven days.
