All good things must come to an end.
The deal is done. I feel dejected. Been with directv for ar least 13 yrs. Don't know what to do next. Don't know my options.
AT&T deal to buy Directv was approved yesterday. AT&T CEO, John Stankey, sent me a personal email this morning telling me all is great and to not be alarmed. Stankey?! Really?!
It's over. I'm selling my tvs.

What do you expect to happen? ATT customer service is lightyears ahead of DirecTV's.
Doubt anything changes in the service itself.

Cut the cord. I haven't had cable in 7 years and don't miss anything.
Get a friends ESPN password for games and you're set.
Just did the math on a compounding calculator.
Assuming $100 a month cable, 8% return at 10 years you're saving just shy of $19,000 to cut out fricking advertisements and reality trash.

So you just mooch off people whom do pay? I'd feel worthless having that conversation to be honest with you

It is the same as stealing your neighbors wifi or living in your parents basement. Yeah, it is free for the moocher and they probably don't mind, but you haven't really beaten the system.

I like my UVERSE.

Other than that competition thing.

It's pretty stupid when people say cut the cord then list leaching off of another person's cable subscription as a way to do it.
Really having a legal and reliable source of the sports teams I want to watch is the only reason to keep cable. I can get most of them with an antenna, but there are those odd few a year for football. Also pelicans games.

Yeah, it's pretty weak sauce.

Competition is overrated. Next thing you'll say is that you got an email from Stankey too.

Me - "Hey dad, whats your espn password"
Dad - "XXXXXX"
Me - "Thanks for the $10,000 nikka"
