ATT is so dumb and I feeling like kiling myself over the torture I have to go through everyday

It all started 3 months back when someone from ATT called me to sell their new Uverse TV offer.

Finally they came on Feb 28, 2019 to install

Do Not Use DirecTv if you live in Florida!!!

Wow, DirecTv is terrible if you live in Florida....  Even light rain storms cause the dish to lose the satellite.   I guess most people who live up north do not know what we call light rain to them it must be like a major storm. 1-2 inches an hour is considered a little rain storm. Before people say
