ArmyBengal Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Unreal how they can offer those great deals to get you in the door and then won't do sh*t for you once you've been a dedicated customer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Unreal how they can offer those great deals to get you in the door and then won't do sh*t for you once you've been a dedicated customer.Yep. I made a promise to myself that I would never again lock myself into a contract as long as there is a viable alternative. As long as cable allows me to go month by month, that's what I'll always do. I don't really get the whole contract thing. Just an opportunity for lazy customer service. Read some consumer reports on DirecTV. Some of the worst reports I've ever read without the BBB or Attorney General stepping in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have had DirecTV since 1996, and it was the only way I could keep following the Reds and Bengals after leaving Cincy. I have NEVER had one moments problem with them, their customer service has always been first rate, and their rates competitive or better than cable.Zero issues from me with them. And for this out of market sports zealot, they have been a life-saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Honestly, I still have DirectTV and I to enjoy them and have had little to no issue with the customer service.My point to my initial post was they give outrageous deals to new customers and nothing to those that have been faithful customers.I would like to see them do more of that for the guy who has been with them for a while forking out the cash we do for the NFL Sunday Ticket.Outside of that, I have no issues with them...

I just moved to Baltimore with the family Sunday, and as part of the DirecTV move package, got them to drop $100 off the NFL ticket, so that was nice.

ArmyBengal Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I don't know, but I've had them since coming back from Afghanistan and haven't gotten any additional deal to keep me as a customer and i've also had the NFL Sunday Ticket and Superfan as well. Foe the amount of money some people spend on that, you would think they could gie you HBO for a few months free of charge. Just my thoughts though...

membengal Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Another friend of mine called to cancel the NFL package, and they dropped the price for him too. Perhaps you should call and say you will drop HBO and see if they offer it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoTbOy Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 I told them I wasn't getting the ticket this year and they did the same, taking $100 off the regular price, but they want you to pay another $100 to get all the games in HD...

Dan2330 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I have had DIRECT and TICKET for approximately 6 years now and never had a problem- DIRECT even recently gave me Showtime free for a few months on anniversary of my service.I will say this, DIRECT version of On Demand is horrid! Comcast blows them away in this department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
