  1. Will do after I see what my options are. I've already threatened to cancel maybe twice before and this time around I will once I know I've got a backup. The main problem I have is I live in the boonies with shitty internet which really constrains my options.

    Rates always increase if you don't call back in to get discounts. Call in and tell them your wife is complaining that you are paying too much and need to talk to customer retention. Don't listen to the customer service person that answered the phone tell them you want customer retention. 

     

    You will get some or all of the following-

    $20-$30 a month off for a year

    free hbo for 6 months

    free starz for 6 months

    free cinemax for 6 months

    free showtime for 6 months

    free sports pack for 6 months

    Plus possible other stupid discounts. It's a game that they play it's annoying as shit and a waste of time but I had to make my once every 6 months call 2 weeks ago and dropped my bill by close to $100 a month. 

    Just tried this and the call went straight to customer retention after me pushing 0 until I was transferred. No offers. No promotions. No channels given and 0 fucks on whether I walk or not. 

    Fuck Directv.

    After I was "updated" a few weeks, ago, sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds or more to open or close the program guide, or my list of recordings, or other settings or informational screens. (Using the HR54 DVR.) Who in their right mind would approve this as being an "ready to ship" interface? This kind of shit is too blatant to be an accident, it must be some kind of psychological warfare program.

    Not to mention how long it took AT&T to actually give me the promotional discounts that were promised when I signed up. I can't help but suspect that they are routinely misbilling and using their agonizing customer service to wear down customers who don't have the patience to fight it.

    All that being said, I'm still glad I changed from Time Warner because jesus wept I can't even...

    The promotional shit is one big lie. Signed up January of 17, was promised $200 in gift cards in which I never received. Took 2 days for the install because one of the guys never showed. Another $200 "given." A week later, shit ain't working right and someone has to come back out a day before Harvey. I'm "given" another $200 in gift cards and premium channels for 1 month. No one shows to fix problem because everything has been suspended due to Harvey. Mind you I'm living an hour west of SA. I don't think got a single drop of rain from Harvey. Call back and am "given" another $200 in gift cards and am "credited" for three months. When they finally come out, it's determined that the dish was incorrectly installed using dish network parts and "I'm lucky" for being in the 1st year of my contract because this type of service call usually costs $50. Lulz. I end up not checking my bill for 3 months because everything is supposed to be free and in December I start getting collection calls. They never credited shit and have no records of me being promised it (and I never got one gift card) and to top it all off, my subscription nearly doubled. Anyone ever heard of a 2 year contract where rates increase after the first year? I'm done with these fuckers. I'm currently looking for alternatives.

    So, what happens first:  aggy wins their 2nd NC in football or aggy celebrates the Centennial of their 1st?

    Neither. They'll be under the death penalty for all the shennanigins they're about to/already are pulling.

    That's what I'm hoping for, at least. Knowing the NCAA though, we'll probably settle for aggy celebrating 100 years playing in a day game in which they're wearing glow in the dark uni's.

    I'd like to know who the other two assholes ahead of him are. The punter had like 2 bad punts max last season. One of which came in the bowl game he won the fucking MVP for. Just can't imagine one better than DickO.

    Fought to keep Keaontay Ingram in the mix? What does that mean?

    We signed the state's #1 RB on NSD2 because TH was getting annoyed with the RBs 2 months later in Spring. You can't read or something?

    Uhh..

    Why is that fugly as fuck practice jersey available for recruit pics? Damn..

    Actually there was a blurb in an article about how much he liked those hideous things and hoped we'd wear them this season. So let's not get any ideas and tell him we don't even practice with them anymore.

    Y'all don't do QBs.  

     

    Why the hell would you be interested in Kliff?

    Because we're tired of him beating us every other year? You'd toss your tortillas if you could have him just as an OC.

    When Chad Hansen is going for 200, you don’t really need to run the ball?

    Triggered.

    Just stop 6. Double him. Triple him. They're going to go to him until we stop him. He just scored again and hurdled Haines, didn't he? Ok...

    [sighs] Just stop 6. Double him...
