Under valued Customer after NINE years!!

I had a similar issue!  I've never felt as under valued as a customer as I have with Uverse now.  I have been a customer for NINE years!  Since they first started in Atlanta.  I contacted customer service looking for ways to lower my bill.  It always seems to creep up over time.  Then they do something when you get them on the phine.  For a few months, the bill is lower, then BOOM!  It increases by 30-50%.  Anyway, on my latest call, I was considering switching from U450 to U200 to lower my cost.  After looking at the channel line up, I said to the rep that this wasn't much better than the Direct TV NOW than I have for half the price.  One thing led to another, and the rep suggested I increase my internet, cancel U450 and just use Direct TV NOW.  I agreed with him.  A few days later, I get an email with a $120 "early disconnect" fee!!!  Ridiculous.  When I spoke to customer service today, they were incredibly rude and uncaring.  Nine years and an early disconnect??!!!  And this after the rep and supervisor suggested doing this.  I am so disgusted.  I am looking for ways to voice my displeasure and seek resolution - short of moving my wireless, data, business account, etc to another provider.

 

ATT, let me know if you care!

I am having the same exact issue. Signed up at the recommendation of a salesman to Directv From Uverse. Once I realized there'd be fees, I canceled before it could be switched. Didn't help. They shut my services off and started them back up (after 5 miserable days with no cable or internet) so I got hit with disconnect AND activation fees for the same exact services. AND equipment fees even though they used the equipment I'd already paid for the first go around. I'm so angry. Customer service has been horrible to me and I feel like I'm submitting evidence of my innocence whenever I try to explain what happened. I did actually find proof of what happened and the rep wouldn't take the info down because my "case is too far along". We are moving next month and I wanted to take all of my services with me but I've half a mind to pay the fees and ditch it all. Such a shame after 10 years of raving about how much I like being an AT&T customer.
