I won't have to pay my internet bill for a month and a half!

Well my luck continues! I called about a week ago to order my high speed internet once I got fed up with dial up. When I ordered I had to pay off an old bill which was $50, plus the first month of service $30, plus an installation fee of $45. That night I saw a commercial on TV for the company I'd chosen to go through, the commercial said if you ordered during that week you'd get free installation. Hmph! So I called them back the next day and told them of the commercial. Well they couldn't refund the $45, so they put it as a credit towards my bill... so basically I've already paid my first 2 and half months of service. So, yesterday they come and install it. I was online for perhaps an hour when the internet cut out on me. I called them and they reset the connection and promised I'd have no further issues. But I did! I was knocked offline 2 more times over the course of the evening. When I called them for the 3rd time, obviously angry that I was still having a problem, they told me they'd send a technician out to check on it. They told me the technician would show up on Sunday. Sunday?!? Oh well! Then he told me he'd credit me for the inconvenience. He credited me for a week. Worked out to be about $8 he said. Cool! Well, as it turns out, the technician showed up today! He replaced my modem, and made sure all the connections, inside the house and out, were correct. Hopefully now my problems are definitly over!! But I think it's pretty cool that I won't have to worry about paying my bill for a couple months! Have you ever gotten free internet for any reason?
