You’d think these idiot companies would figure this out. What makes me fume is being a long time customer and they raise your rates but let newbies in with next to nothing rates.

I know a guy who regularly switches between Comcast and Verizon every two years for that reason. Won't work for me as I have sworn never to do business with Comcast again following a string of stupidities about a decade back.

I called Verizon about that. We have internet only.

We can get a new package of internet only for $69 a month vs. the $120 we were paying. They can send a guy over to disconnect. In one to two weeks, a guy will come over and connect the new service.

I asked “Doesn’t that sound just a bit stupid?” and told her I needed to speak with someone who could actually make a decision to keep a tenyear customer.

For me it’s not necessarily the cost as much as content. I’m not paying for MSNBC and the gay channel. I thought about getting Sling TV until I saw their promo picture was Samantha Bee. No thanks.

lilypad, every 6 months we have to CALL Dish and threaten to leave if they raise our rates. We get it cut back but probably not as much as a newbie. We were thinking about going with AT&T but it’s on this list too. What other choices are there? I don’t understand all this streaming stuff. I just wish we could find something where we give them the list of the shows and channels we want, nothing more, nothing less. Guess we’ll never see that happen.
