Consumer Complaint: I moved from my apartment on XX/XX/XXXX and stopped service with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX . They told me I could take all my products from my apartment tinny house and it would be connected to the same account number. I tried to connect to cable when we moved to the house and nothing worked. They had to change out all the boxes.
