No Big East Basketball/Nascar/USGA on FoxSports on UVERSE - get ready to lose customers
Screw you AT&T...hope you are ready to lose a slew of customers. Interesting that other service providers are willing to provide their customers the program they want, but AT&T refuses.
I'm calling tomorrow to make my change.

We know. Starting a new thread when there are already several on the subject won't do anything to improve the situation.
FOX has decided to withhold programming from AT&T, lest AT&T pay additional monies during the middle of their contract. This is akin to a landlord raising a tenant's rent during the middle of the lease when the tenant has paid the rent on time, lives a peaceful lifestyle and lets the landlord know when any issues pop up.
This may be AT&T's fault for not including a rider in their negotiations about "don't raise fees for any current or future programming during the term of this carriage agreement" or it could just be FOX being greedy. My guess is that FOX is being greedy and it could only be a matter of time until they try this with other providers. Remember that FOX Sports 1 is a new channel with new programming and many agreements may be "grandfathered" from the days of SPEED.

I'm of the opinion that the more noise and fuss that is made from the customer base the faster action will be taken.
What I know is that I was unable to view a basketball game on a channel I pay for. And everyone else I know who uses alternate providers was able to watch the game.
Regardless if Fox is being greedy or AT&T didn't do their due diligence, what matters to me is that I pay AT&T a hefty bill every month for a service - programming on FS1 is part of what I am paying for, yet AT&T is restricting my ability to watch this programming.

I have been with AT&T to long I am starting to feel like I did when they were the only phone company. If Fox 1 and U-verse can't resolve this issue I will be gone. Comcast said they can install on Thursday. Internet, TV and Phone for about 30 bucs a month less. Go figure!!

Get ready to lose me too......and I will bring my cell and internet service with me to another carrier!! How can you actually have the nerve to charge close to $200/mo and NOT supply major programming??? The largest basketball tournament in the world!!! Figure it out quick AT&T, that is......if you care about loyal customers.
