I bought a $20 HD over the air antenna. If my directv goes out I just switchover to the locals on the antenna or I stream from my iPad to my apple tv

Bartering is a long time honored tradition. A man who can successfully barter such as yourself deserves an award and you shall feel no shame.

I, myself, am no such barterer.

Why the frick do I care if they believe me if I get what I want?

You let them cancel? Just hang up and try again

I had no intentions of cancelling, I did it to prove a point to them that I wasn't fricking around . Also, they make notes for everytime you call in

My wife always gives me a hard time when I try to haggle prices. You should see her when we go car shopping.

Of course you don't. I'm saying he doesn't have to make up that big story, they don't give a frick just like you don't give a frick.

No they are not.

I signed on with them for a second time against my better judgment. They offered the cheap for the first year deal. Salesman says that all you have to do is up the package after the first year to the next tier, and they'll extend the discount another year and that will cover you for your two year agreement.

It was a bullshite lie. So I called support who said "well, we record all of the calls, call the support line back tomorrow and have them pull the call" Mysteriously they fricking lost that call (Yeah right). They said that unless I had it in writing they're not responsible for the promises made by their salespersons. I said if I had it in writing, you would have it in writing since you would have sent it to me. He said sorry. I said, reinstate my paper billing, take to the lowest package possible, and set my cancellation date of the day my package expires.

NEVER frickING AGAIN.

The SECN bargaining chip last July/August was the best ever. If you didn't get in on that pain train, you missed out.

ATT did the same for me every time I called to cancel service. The difference is I really did would've cancelled if the raised my bill. They just kept adding free premium channels for the same price every time I called to cancel.

I'd rather pay the $10 than make that miserable call.

Lol at all the people hating on this guy for saving a few hundred bucks for a 30 min phone call.

Same crowd that bitches about wal mart because they have yucky people. I can honestly say I've never touched another person at walmarks or any other store for that matter.
