No discounts for longterm customers

I have to see your commercials all the time advertising great prices for high speed internet for less than $29 a month any speed - yet it's only for new customers. I could be dishonest and disconnect, have service connected in my husbands name like everyone else - but I keep paying my bill. When I asked for a better rate - you told me nothing is available in my area, really? So you'll give customer service to brand new people - but you won't do anything to maintain the customers you have... Nothing for customer loyalty? Maintaining customers is just as important as building your customer base, and at this rate I doubt that I am the only unhappy customer paying $72 a month compared to the new deal. And then, because of a debit card oversight expiration date - I'm charged a $49 re-instatement fee for service restoral, just for you to push a button, a bit high, is that even legal? $121 for something new people pay less $29... not too high on customer appreciation At&t.
Unhappy customer

@lg91307 Call sales/CS 1-800-288-2020 M-F 8a-7p, Sat 8a-5p, your local time.

 

Say CANCEL and they should send you to Retentions that can offer discount/contracts and promos to existing customers. 😉

Surprisingly I did share my frustration with a phone rep, yet all I heard was no no no no. I did say 'cancel' and I plan to look for other service, I told him that I should disconnect because I have completed more than 2 years of service, and still nothing. I never heard anything about a retention department, that's even more discouraging, to know that there was a possibility yet he chose to let me hang up upset and dissatisfied. At these prices we shouldn't have to seek customer service that is given to people paying less than $29 with more attention - you get what you pay for certainly does not apply at At&t. I'm glad Apple isn't exclusive to you anymore - my cell service with Sprint for 16 years has been great, they actually listen and work with you.
Still upset customer.

Don't keep playing CS roulette.  The DIRECT number to Retentions is 866-446-4115.

 

AT&T plays this stupid game of hide the cheese (promotions) for existing customers. I know because I have played for 4 years already. They bank on the notion that it's too much of a hassle to switch. This may be the year I call their stupid bluff. What a crappy business model.

A year ago I canceled my TW package after a final straw with them, besides

ever increasing prices (and seemingly hard to get discounts for existing customers)

an item appeared on the bill (it wasn't much, maybe $15) which I wanted an explanation

for and they did their best to obfuscate, and beyond assuring me it was a legitimate charge,

they would not divulge what it was actually for.

 

I packed up the equipment and took it to the TW payment center and  put it on the counter.

Now come all the deals and the friendly offers.  I said no and switched to at&t Uverse.

 

You're right, it is a crappy business model.

The ATT Uverse order management center?  That's what I got dialing it, after the Spanish # push, it rang 3 times and a woman answered.  On a Sunday? Smiley Surprised

I used that number again last Thursday and the Rep said it was Retentions.  Of course, she may have been lying (because she works for AT&T and was talking).

My family doesn't watch 10% of what we are paying for and the majority of what we watch is from our Hulu, Amazon, or Netflix accounts, so we are pulling the plug on our $214/month, always rising, Uverse, and going with 100 mbps Charter pipeline internet and Sling.

 

Slate dot com has calculator that will show your savings.

 

We will save $1545.24 a year by cutting Uverse TV and going with the Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus, Netflix, we already have, and Sling TV.

 

Use Slate’s calculator to see if dropping cable TV and paying for streaming services will really save you money.

Chater is a joke compared to U-verse.

I will only be using the Charter pipeline internet and streaming my services.

 

My neighbor has the 100 mbps pipeline, and his "slow" speeds are between 50-80 mbps, with peak speeds as high as 95 mbps.

 

My "turbo" 24mbps uverse, usually runs around 10-20 mbps, but drops to 1-4 mbps and drops out completely pretty regularly, as well as the tv signal being lost, even when nothing else is connected, in the middle of the night, and thats NO joke.
