Re: Stories like this said by djrobx:While I don't agree with her commentary at all, I find it equally non-sequitur to accuse her of being a corporate shill just because she has a pro-Comcast opinion. You don't even have to have a pro-Comcast comment to be labelled a shill around here. I have had Tribune / United, TCI, AT&T, Comcast, Verizon, Ameritech, Americast (now WOW), Sprint and Lightning Bolt DSL for all kinds of communications services. And with the exception of LB, they all sucked to varying degrees. DirecTV raised my rates every year I had it (especially NFL Sunday Ticket) just like every other cable company I have had. My wife's Verizon cell phone is better than her Nextel was but drops just as many calls as my AT&T iPhone.
People come to these boards to complain not to glow about how great the service is. You think DirecTV doesn't have complaints? Go to dbstalk.com and search on DirecTV and Retention and see how many hits you get. There are people on that board that call Retention monthly to bitch about their bill and see what kind of freebee's they can get. And when DirecTV doesn't give them a freebee...watch out. You would figure if it was such a "great" service, people would be happy to pay for it. |
