Some installers keep these flat coax cables handy for situations like yours. They're flat and bendable to squeeze through windows or sliding doors. http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=WRFC200&d=Eagle-Aspen-FC-300LX-Slimline-Flexible-8-Inch-Flat-RG

It doesn't change the fact it is an unjust policy and pretty much amounts to legaized theft. They have found away to squeeze more money out of people.   This is probably why they have below a 2 star rating.

Unjust policy/Theft

Called Direct tv today to cancel my service, I was thanked for my many years of subscribing to them. They tried offering me many other packages including my same one for less money to keep me. I stated I just wanted to cancel and didn't want to hear about any other options. They stated they respect

What did I learn from this: (A) DON'T PUSH THE RED BUTTON: (B) if they can squeeze a buck from you to help, they will! and (C) Direct TV could really use a complete Customer Service re-vamp.

Are you kidding me? So two corporate giants are punishing the customers so they can squeeze as much money out of each other as possible. Your "solved" answer is not an answer.  When will the stations return?

Showtime vs. AT&T

So today I reached out to both Showtime and AT&T and asked them to estimate the percent chance we would lose Showtime. Showtime said it looked pretty likely- probably about 75%. But AT&T said they doubted very seriously it would happen and said "less than 5%". So who to believe? Myself, I believe Sh

How could you change payment due dates to the first of themonth?

Social Security disability allotments aren't posted until the first of the month.  Is this a ploy to increase your revenue by having your disabled customers incur late-payment charges? For shame. AT&T.

Billing and Customer Service Hassles

Does the company care about feedback? No way I can find to submit an email? After over 5 hours on the phone and 3 calls (see below) I don't have any confidence calls are even looked at.
