We don't have AT&T Internet in Albq..... Stuck with infinity.. $90 bucks a month for 15mb.... Check that, AT&T does have Internet here..6mb lol, you can't even stream Netflix with that.
I just sucked it up and made the dreaded annual call. Got it reduced from $360 total ($60/mo) for the MAX plan to $305 ($51/mo). FWIW she said that's the lowest reduction they're offering. I could have tested her by continuing with the cancellation. I think if it really came down to me cancelling, there might be one more reduction level I could have reached before she pressed the kill button. But I just didn't have the energy. I took my $55 savings and was happy with it - just like PP21 took his 4th place Madden ranking and was happy with it.
To get through to Retention Dept, just say 'Cancel Sunday Ticket' at the voice prompt. I always just say that it's too expensive this year and I can no longer afford it. As much as I hate doing it every year, if I can save $55 with a 10 minute phone call, I'm always going to do it.
I'm weighing my options also. I've been with Direct TV since I moved into my house in 2003. My equipment is so old, it's ridiculous. My dad just recently subscribed and got all new Genie equipment and Sunday ticket for free, which got me a little fired up that I am still using all this old crap after being a "loyal" customer for so long. I'm no longer on contract, so I plan on calling and battling.

I'm going to wait until after the second week of the season. Since week 1 is a Sunday night game and I will be going to the TB game, I won't really need the ticket until week 3. Hopefully I will be able to work a better discount at that time.
Unless you have Josh Gordon in fantasy (and he isn't suspended) why would you willingly watch the BrownsIve found the majority of NFL games are boring.
As cardinal fans we get spoiled by our downfield offense. And then you switch to the Texans-Browns and its 10-6 in the 4th.

There are ways to watch out of market games for free. I won't go into detail here but it's possible.Says the guy that lives in AZ and goes to every home game and is able to see every televised road game. It may be dumb for an Arizonian but for us outa staters its worth every penny and then some... I get EVERY Cards game and tons of other great games usually not available...
mryeahbut:
How long you been with Directv? I upgraded to the whole genie system free of charge a little over a year ago... Its about the standard now if you've had your old boxes any decent amount of time.. GENIE rules!
Not every AZ-nan can get to games either, some circumstances just allow for that all the time BUT I just re-read the OP and yes I do have the Genie and I concur it is awesome to be able to watch and/record in different rooms, I got it for free too
you should wait until dish works out their contract with the nfl....without even a redzone option you really have zero leverage against directvI haven't made my annual " Give me Sunday Ticket or I bail" call yet... Truth is.. I'm nervous.
With the change in ownership, I'm 99% sure they will call my bluff...
It doesn't help that Verizon wireless called my bluff just over a year ago, and I left with my tail between my legs..... I have always been completely happy with Verizon wireless, but I can cut my bill in half with ANY other carrier... And it was pissing me off, So I went into a Verizon store. asked for a Manager and politely plead my case... To no avail... "How much to exit my contract I asked?"...... $240 the Manager replied...... "Here is my credit card... I'm canceling"
Manager swings the CC terminal towards me, and tells me to swipe my card.
"Ummm, actually, I need to discuss this with my Wife"

Was a tough plate of crow... Truth is, in my neck of the woods, every other cell carrier is garbage.
If DTV calls my bluff, I'll be eating another heaping plate.

I've been a customer since launch, and I'm not tied to a contract, so I'm not completely unarmed.... Since the sale to AT&T... it seems most of the CS has been farmed out overseas, and the last few interactions with them, makes me think they don't give a crap at all.
Cancel doesn't get you to retention anymore.
