How do I get a human to resolve VERY BAD AT&T support?

AT&T has promised me, on several occasions, a new device to replace my faulty one.  A week or two ago I was told I would have a new one in 24 to 48 hours, but guess what, AT&T lied again!

Contact support again. No one here has access to user account information. A support rep is your only choice.

Contact support again - yeah right. 

like they'll be responsive this time as opposed to the many other times they were not!

What type of device for what service?  DirecTV Stream is not an AT&T service - it stopped being one when it switched from AT&T TV to DirecTV Stream.  Have you tried contacting DirecTV (which is a separate company, and has been for about 7 months now).

I heard they were a separate company again, but you wouldn't know by logging into your AT&T account. Up until a few days ago when I cancelled my DirecTV subscription, the product and login were all still tied together with AT&T. Pretty confusing to say the least.

They're not really separate. AT&T still owns 70% of DirecTV. They haven't totally split apart their billing systems.

U wouldn't know they aren't called ATT? Yet, here you are in a "Directv Stream" forum.

Hey!  I'm not alone......happened to me about 5 yrs ago.....guess what?  I STILL don't have a replacement.  Had to "borrow" one from one of our unused bedrooms.....they told me 48 hrs!  I did this 5 different times with 5 different "agents" and it never happened.  I feel for you pal..........I've thought of changing, but I don't think that there is a single company out there that doesn't have its problems and I don't wish to go thru this again.....Just have to live with what I have and the lousy support from AT&T.
