F...My Cable Company!

Skins fan 44 · 06-26-2006, 02:01 PM

I called my cable company and told them that I was switching to dish and they reviewed my account and dropped my bill by 20 bucks a month. I should of told them that I was thinking about switching internet services also but I did not think about it. Anyway my rate is good for a year. Cable companies dont like to hear the D word!!

My cable company tried to bargain with me too. I said unless you suddenly carry the NFL there's no way that I'm not switching. They didn't have much to say after that.

I'm local so I get all of the skins game so that helped with my decision. We have direct at about 48 per month with their one step above the basic package. We have no movie channels (if I want to see it I'll rent or pay per view) but we do have the NFL network and all the info mercials that one man could ask for. After 3 am I can watch girls gone wild info's on two different channels. I only have trouble with weather a couple of times a year so its realy no big deal. If you have direct and loose conection in light rains call them to come out and re ajust the dish.

Direct TV is the best possible investment for an NFL fan. Seriously, the next time you get pissed off with your cable company, make the switch over. Subscribe to Sunday Ticket while you're at it. Even if you get Skins games locally, it does wonders to eliminate commercial breaks.

-EDIT- I dont work for direct TV
