DirecTV I got All Day
In the time it takes me to cancel DirecTV, I've managed to:
-Read all the top stories on yahoo news
-Masterbate
-Make some coffee
-Do yesterday's dishes
-Take out the trash
-Watch Sportscenter
-Take a shit
-Brush my teeth
-Shave
-Make out this month's Mortgage check and mail it
-Get a slice and eat it
-Pickup my laundry
-Put away my laundry
-Chat with 3 friends on IM
-Compose a three paragraph cover letter
-Write an email to an old reference
-Burn 2 CDs
-Name that annoying classical tune blaring while I'm on hold (Liebestraum)
-Post this on 2old2play
And I'm still on hold. DirecTV, you can't match my kung fu style. I got all day, motherfuckers.

Like Lithium wrote, just stop paying 'em and they'll cancel the service. My twist on this tactic is to write a note (email & snail mail) letting them know you still have their gear and they have x time to pick it up before you start charging them storage fees. Write them again before billing starts then the start of each cycle. When the bill gets high enough - small claims court.
