I told the young woman, Nicole, why I cancelled my account. She said the company had not yet made a decision. I responded that I had made my decision. She added that I was the first person who called regarding the advertisement on Limbaugh's program.

This agent was just a bit too agreeable - she said she understood exactly what I was saying, in many words.

I had the feeling they were coached to agree with the callers rather than take a neutral position - to try to minimize cancellations.
