Not to rain on your parade but my friend Christina just ditched DSL for
Uverse and is VERY displeased. Here's her note.
If you'd like to talk with her, send me a request as I don't want to post
her email address without her consent.
Hi,
I'm on the phone (AGAIN -- FOREVER on HOLD) with AT&T. The UVerse Internet
service sucks: frequent service logjams - even lost voice for about 4
minutes yesterday. The monthly bill is higher than promised because the rep
never mentioned the "taxes and surcharges" AND the rep never mentioned the
small matter of $175 for installation charge and equipment! Almost passed
out when I saw my bill. I've told them I'm going to open a deceptive trade
practices case with the Public Utilities Commission if we can't resolve
this. I think they're going to waive the $175 charge, but the service still
sucks and the cost is still higher than promised. It will end up costing me
a little more than the DSL service monthly.
It's clear to me that they DO want people to migrate to this service. Tell
people not to buy their predatory corporate story. This is the whole
problem with our economy in a nutshell: big companies take advantage of
people's trust and then stick them with the consequences of ill-informed
decisions. This is exactly how unsuspecting customers got into unmanageable
credit card interest debt.
Am I pissed???? YOU BETCHA!
