Why is keeping $1300 of your own money each year scoffed at?

They'll call you tomorrow and the price will magically be $70 bucks for 2 years.

I just called and got my bill cut almost in half for a year and got free hbo and Cinemax free for 6 months. Told me to call again at the end of April for a better deal.

What do you tell dish? Just threaten them to cancel? I just got new equipment in October so I'm sure I guess I'm locked into a contract. Will they call my bluff since I'll have to pay a termination fee?

I just switched to DirecTV for a solid $63/month for two years. Was with UVerse, was paying $150 for cable/internet. Now paying $120.

For consumers, att buying direct tv was a blessing.

I held out getting direct tv for years because of their awful pricing structure where you get one price for 6 months, then it jumps up, then jumps again at a year, all while being stuck on a 2 year contract. With att they made it simple and guaranteed a price for 2 years including internet and equipment. I recently switched, and although my internet speeds aren't what I had with twc cable, I'm very happy.

I need to switch from Comcast. It continues to go up--currently right at $200 for cable/phone/internet.

I did so a week ago and not looking back.
They offered $60 for a year, but I declined.
One bonus, never lost reception during the recent thunderstorms.

Im considering buying out of my Directv contract on going the Directv Now + Netflix route.

I used to love Directv, but they royally fricked me this last go around... Girl screwed up my initial order that set a clusterfrick in motion. I was paying $70 for everything before and now I'm locked into $98 right now.

Would cost me around 120 to buy out, but if I do the above mentioned, I'd pay that off in two months and be out ahead.

Anyone have the Directv Now? I read it was shitty at first, but they have improved greatly over the last month or so

Just canceled DirecTV and went with PS Vue. I love it so far. The main reason I didn't consider DirecTV now is that there is no DVR.
