Loyalty to our customers (A memoir)
Now I have had a bad atttitude for a while but my attitude recently changed for the better by calling my cable company. Here's what happened. My dad has been a customer of the cable company through mergers and aquisitions for 23 years. We were going to switch to Dish because it was cheaper. Not a threat. Not because we didnt like cable. It was just plain cheaper. We called the company and they bent over backwards to get us what we needed. Not because we were leaving but because they realized that without us (customers) they wouldnt have jobs. I know that
...
its great that they bent over backwards for you, but i'd almost be willing to bet the price you are paying now, you wont keep i bet its a limited offer, cable companies love doin that. I hope not tho, it'd be great if a company was nice,just to be nice, and didn't take it back in 3-6 months. lol
...
we get our hd channels, and the fastes internet they have for $53 a month and we also get a modem
...
if they ever cancel that offer on you.. say your gonna cancel, and they'll give you the promo again. my friend works for comcast and i usually call him and he hooks it up..unless he busy but i've been payin 30 bucks a month for a $60 conncetion.. for goin on 2 years now. =] same was with my cable till i switch to dishnetwork .. cause more channels for the same as the promo price.. sorry steve!!
...
i know it is a trial but we have a friend who works for comcast and he gets us good deals
...
ehehe.. ditto .. lol.. you know that comcast been monitoring file transfer programs and funneling traffic, even so much as to block some users from using programs such as uTorrent and BitTorrent?
...
our has been working fine. my boyfriend is a tech and he actually caught them giving us the wrong internet speed and called them on it
...
too slow or too fast? cause if they gve me the faster for the cheaper price.. i'd have kept my mouth shut til i noticed i was laggin.. lol
...
I just cut the cable since most people will disconnect after the promo. plus cable is cheaper in my area then dish. So i just tell the custy ill see them in 6 months and in most cases i do.
...
If only cable was good. Dish is so much better with their DVR. Dish and Directv are digital(all digital). Verizon Fios is even better than that.
...
We have pretty decent cable up here... We have nearly 900 channels i think... Digital... HD... DVR.. Real decent cable company.. Prices aren't toooooooooooo bad...
The internet is outstanding though.
I'm paying 50 dollars a month for unlimited download speed and 768k upload.
my download speed maxes out at 21 mb/s which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY faster than the whole call center.
