dear internet,

I hibernated my cable over the summer as I wasn't going to be there. They charge me $15 a month and the idea is that when I need the service again they will be able to instantly turn it on (without the need for a hookup visit). When I got back to my apartment I discovered that everything still worked, except the premium channels. I can't decide if I should call them and restore full service or save the extra money and leave it in hibernation. What to do?

    As long as you can still watch Dirty Jobs and the 4400, what more do you need? I mean, really.
