Is AT&T really as evil as they seem and completely lack remorse?

So like many, my family and I have been hit hard by the pandemic, Andy I have struggled with finding work over the last year. But my problems with AT&T/Directv go back before the pandemic. For starters, directv somehow lost one of my payments and cut service stating that I needed to pay again, e

For goodness sake, AT&T is evil because they accidentally left tracks on your lawn?  You don't know what the word evil means.  Give me a break.

Why does AT&T not want to keep good customers?

I have spoken with several retention specialists at AT&T in anticipation of my U-Verse rates skyrocketing on 5/27. After being a good customer of AT&T for 11 years, they probably figure they have squeezed everything out of me they can. I am switching to Charter and saving $100 a month for the same (

Is AT&T actually evil? Entrapped in a full month bill.

WWME and 2 other channels gone?

I am so frustrated with AT&T! My favorite old tv channels are gone? I recieved no warning! I'm old so I like my old shows and I am really sad they are gone. Am I the only one?

Question

Networks charge the TV providers a lot. If those channel owners didn't get revenue from advertising space they would charge the providers even more, meaning we would have a much higher bill. As it stands commercials are a necessary evil to keep cost

DirecTV - Leaving after 28 Years (Feedback)

Unfortunately, there isn't an easy way to provide feedback, or a good eMail address for DirecTV customer support, but I want to provide some feedback... I started out as a DirecTV customer in Michigan in the mid-1990s and continued service until now in 2023 through the AT&T acquisition. Over

I think it is absolutely insane and I'm sure I speak for every customer that we pay as much as we do for this service and yet they keep putting ads in their apps.

U-verse and AT&T TV AppleTV App

I'm trying to simplify life (ha ha) by changing out my old AppleTV for the latest version. I believe it can accomodate the AT&T TV app, which should allow viewing of local channels in my area. But... I have a U-verse account on AT&T Fiber, and not an AT&T TV account. When I try to

Why is the credit management fee non-refundable?

So I got uverse recently after only having service disconnected for a month. They requires a 449 dollar deposit from me. They said they would refund $5 on every bill.

Why don't Nascar races auto extend? We were told sporting events would ALL do this. Racing is a sport. When you search sports, Nascar racing comes up. Any idea how many races stopped with 10 laps to go? Plenty. Then I'm faced with searching YouTube for highlights, Please do something about this.
