Whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Cable been doing this for year. Tell u what, try and go cancel your cable svc and tell them you going to Fios or Direct TV and see if they dont try to retain you. Offer you this or that. Thats same thing. Why is it bad when VZ wants to do it? Just like AT&T fought like heck to keep VZ out of Long Distance but meanwhile AT&T was already doing local svc taking cust from VZ. No one wants to play fair with VZ.
I think the issue is with the number porting. When you move a phone number from one company to another you don't cancel your service the new company submits the request to the old and your service is automatically stoped when the number is ported. In the past i think your old company was not supposted to be able to try and keep you during the process.
It's different if you call to cancel. Since you called them they can try and do anything they as long as its legal I guess to keep you.
IMHO... anyting that makes the companies compete for your business is a good thing.
I wonder what cox is going to offer me later today when I call to cancel since I'm switching to FiOS......  |
