This is absolutely rediculous

I have been an AT&T customer for a very long time, and much to frequently I am asking myself why that is. After I got off work and came home from school, I began researching new internet and cable providers. I called one company, who priced me rediculously, so I decided to call AT&T because I alread

Absolutely disgusted with att/direct tv

I returned my equipment within 5 days of cancelling and was wise enough to hold on to my ups receipt. I called several times once I saw the $239 charge on my account and was assured I would not be charged. I went as far as to ask for my auto charge to be cancelled and told it was and wouldn’t be cha

Anyone else have these type of issues? Absolutely disgusted.

We've been ATT wireless customers for at least a decade, even when out of contract. Recently, we added home phone (with data) and DIRECTV. I'm regretting all of this.

Uverse TV installation - Absolutely worst customer service

I cancelled my dish tv and ordered Uverse TV to bundle with ATT internet. The technician came and told me that the house is too far from the box and the TV quality would be poor and the internet speed would be slow.

What are the models of your boxes? You do lose anything on a replaced box, so best to not replace more than absolutely necessary.
