Retired N.Y. Teacher Wins Apology From Cablevision

An AP newswire article, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:

The retired schoolteacher who denied watching porn, wrestling and gangsta rap on pay-per-view and disputed her $1,126 (U.S.) cable bill has won her battle with Cablevision — and an apology.

Claudia Lee, 62, of Yonkers, had claimed that the cable company was harassing her and insisting on payment of the hefty bill that arrived shortly after she bundled her phone, Internet and cable television services.

The company insisted that someone in her home must have ordered the extra services, but Lee, who lives alone, said she didn't. The only regular visitor to her house her 81-year-old mother, she said, "and I don't think she wants to watch porn."
