AT&T raises DirecTV prices again despite losing millions of customers

Easier to beat the dying horse than try to nurse it back to health.

Glad I just canceled my subscription!

Its like taxing the hell out of the rich. It won't work for ever.

They have a failing business model.. Short the stock.

If ESPN would sell a bundle package, I’d pay $25/ month for it and never look back. I don’t watch anything else.

Once cable leaves streaming costs will go up.

I mean aren’t you paying for internet no matter what though?

Yeah, but with bundles and shite, it cost me like 20-30 more per month as a standalone package.

I cut the cord roughly 5 years ago, and my all in streaming and internet costs are probably as high now as they were then. That's a win.

I'm not sure if I would have Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and YouTube TV if I still had cable. That's the key question.

Never renew a 2 year contract, and if you’re lucky or unlucky enough to be a long time customer since 2005 for me (Hurricane Katrina) always talk to Customer Retentions at the highest level. The only reason we still have DirecTV is because me or my wife (Wife is better than me, less attitude) always call and speak to someone who keeps the bill at the same rate, if not lower and usually a couple premium channels are thrown in for 3 months. However AT&T and all of the companies they have gobbled up are quickly becoming a monopoly again after being broke up by the federal government once before.
