> (only about ~20% a lie)

Why are commenters here a bit apologetic about lying to customer service reps? The latter have no right to know anything about your life, you want the service cancelled and that's it, any information you may choose to provide is purely so they can service you better.

Tell them you're moving to Andromeda to set up an ice cream shop for all I care, I won't hold it against you.

I guess social convention says that it's bad to lie. Personally, I don't feel so bad about lying to a company... but I do feel a bit bad about lying to a person that represents that company.
