Well, leave it to MCI to be completely clueless about all things billing. Just a quick synopsis for those just tuning in.

  • ~2001 – Enroll in 24/7 Unlimitied usage ISDN package
  • April 2002 – WorldSham/MCI starts billling us for hourly usage
  • Call in get it corrected
  • May 2002 – more hourly usage charges on an unlimited account
  • Call in get it fixed
  • This pattern continues until we cancel account in November 2002
  • Spend December 2002 until July 2003 still trying to get account credited for misbilled hours

The finally in July we received the following email and also a snail mail invoice to the same effect:

Account xxxxxxxxxx has already been credited in the amount of $2,976.39.
Account xxxxxxxxxx ISDN connect hours billed incorrectly from
05/02/02-06/02/02.
Service was to receive unlimited usage, this adjustment will be reflected on
the
07/01/03 invoice.

Thank you, for your patience.
