Since I posted that I got a call from RCN "Courtesy Center" telling me
that I have money to pay.  I told the story of my wife's last call
with them (they we complaining about a payment for which they had
already cashed the check), but the woman on the phone explained that
she didn't know anything about that.  She was just calling from the
"Courtesy Center".  She didn't know about any problem.  I said thank
you and hung up before she could ask "Is there anything else we can do
for you?"  Maybe she didn't.  I am sure she was not an RCN employee.
Some hired drone.

My internet access is too important, I wouldn't let RCN near it.
Maybe if I had no choice...
