I'm going to let you in on a little secret. I got a notice from Sirius that my bill was due. It said I would be shut off in 48hrs. I was too busy and forgot to call. All of a sudden the 2 week free started, while my radio was still activated. I figured, hmmm. I guess I have 2 more weeks to pay. When the trial promo ended, I called and paid my bill as I received another e-mail.
I have since seen postings that Sirius did not not deactivate many people that got those letters. The deactivations are at Sirius' discretion, and they simply could have held off on many of those until the quarter ended, as they attempted to get 1.5 million subs into "compliance."
I'm betting on this to be a wise move in a quarter of potentially breakeven subs and feel this will result in positive sub growth.
