Bait and Switch on contract renewal

Our pricing promotion period ended in March, so I called to cancel service or to renegotiate our contract. After speaking to the customer retention department we were able to drop some channels and get a lower price that was similar to competitors offers, but still a slight bit higher.  We've always been happy with Uverse, however, so I felt the slightly higher rate was worth it.  Every month since then our bill has come in $50 higher than what we were quoted.  Every month I've called and spent an hour explaining the situation over and over, finally being issued a credit, and promised that a manager would look into it/review the initial taped conversation to remedy the billing issue. Today, yet again, I called to fix the billing error and was told there was absolutely no way I could have been offered what I was offered and there was nothing they could do. We are now stuck in a 12 month contract for a rate that is $50 higher than what we agreed to stay with AT&T for and they do not seem to care at all what their employee offered us as a retention package.  I am livid and completely done with AT&T.  What kind of customer service is this?! It's classic bait and switch. Anyone else have a similar situation with a way to resolve?

Are you sure you are still under contract? A similar thing just happened to me. When I was transferred to their "Customer Care Specialist" and was given the news I asked, "If you can't offer me the deal you originally promised, then can I assume I'm not under any contract?" They said no, and I told them to cancel my account.

 

They will never get another dime of my money. No way to treat customers. There are some other ISP's in my area that offer internet for a comprable amount.
