Centurylink Rant!!

[Doc45]

Final update: got home and everything was taken care of. I also have an email from CenturyLink with a link to follow up on the complaint. PUC also followed up with an email that a file is open. Neighbor confirmed with photos that this time they climbed up the pole and not on the roof of the shed. All's well that ends well. Maybe I'll get a few pennies knocked off my bill for my internet-the only service I get directly from them though they do bundle my DirecTv. By the way I called Direct over an unrelated question and due to being a long time customer they will be knocking $40 off my fee for the next 12 months, I'm ok with that.

... By the way I called Direct over an unrelated question and due to being a long time customer they will be knocking $40 off my fee for the next 12 months, I'm ok with that.

Directv knocked off 60 a month a few years ago for 12 months.
When it went back up, they said there were no further discounts available.
They have crept up over 200 a month now, the dvr is failing, the remote won't recognize zeros, and it takes 20 seconds to change channels.
I will have to call them and see if they will do something.
Thanks for the info.

I am really confused about the relationships with AT&T, CenturyLink, DirecTV, LUMEN, and all the other names.

Wow! You spend $2500 a year on television?

In late '19 I posted about Directv being too expensive. I called then and they cut it in half.

The next year, I posted that I quit.

I was complaining about $75 a month!

I have not turned it back on.

Comcast, my internet provider sent me a streaming box that I use occasionally but can honestly say, I do not miss satellite programming.

I certainly do not miss scrolling through the guide, hoping to find something new, while being inundated by the same commercials over and over...

If you enjoy television enough that it is worth over two thousand dollar per year, that's great. I won't judge you- I spend more than that on my hobbies.

Since I "cut the cord", I can't believe I spent as much as I did on tv.

I can think of very few shows that I watched that were memorable enough to stand out and none that were worth the many thousands of dollar I spent over the years.
