power outage

An act of God has knocked out my power. With no thunder or lightning, no rain or precipitous weather, and no gale force or even breezy winds, the transformer for my section of the neighborhood has been knocked out. I just paid for the fight an hour earlier. If I can't at least see the main fight, how can I get my money bac?. Its $100. I work too hard to waste money like that. Someone help me please.

See if ATT Customer Care can help, contact ATT Customer Care on the link in my signature.

Send them a Private Message, on this link, and they should be able to give the help needed to solve your fight/power outage problems. They are available M-F 8am-11pm Eastern time (also around on weekends), response may take up to 2 business days.

This is not the regular CS/TS phone people, but the social media Community Specialists that know the people to contact to get things done and gone above and beyond for me.

Include your name, account #, email address and a good phone # (land or cell) and time to contact you on.

Check the blue PM envelope, upper right on every page, for their reply. Good luck 😉

I'll be curious as to their response. 

 

The cable providers are getting 40% of the costs with the rest going to the promoters/fighters/HBO/Showtime so maybe they'll credit you with $40.

Don't mess with old people.  The older we get, the less "Life in Prison" is a deterrent.

I disagree, If ATT didn't profit from this, they would not put it on PPV.  They get a good chunk of change for this fight.  PPV is to make money for ATT. Smiley LOL

 

Edit:  After your unmarked edit, I think he should get the full $100 back as it was not his fault power went out.  Or $40 and $10 off the Uverse bill for 6 months.

I corrected my prior post.  They (providers) are getting 40%.

My ONLY experience with PPV was 15 years ago and my daughter talked me into ordering a Backstreet Boys concert.  I had a houseful of girls and all I got was a blank screen.

 

I don't remember getting any kind of a refund AND I had a bunch of upset teenage girls to deal with!

A number of users have already posted they were getting black/blank screens tonite too.  They've been told to try a reboot and no complaints about that have come back. Smiley LOL
