Ah, Trish has taught me well.....

Posted by Meg (aka Mojave) Jan 5 '13, 15:58

Discovered DirecTV has a package for $10 less than I'm paying now and I'd only lose Cooking channel and NFL. Called to confirm I could switch back in August when the football season starts and asked what else they could do for me. $5/mo for 6 months for being a loyal customer.

So I'll save around $110 over the 8 months...then maybe I'll be ready to switch to U-verse :)

DirecTV is notorious for doing this. Push them enough and you can generally get a free month or two. Even half off the NFL package -- nm - budice Jan 5, 16:06 1
- I don't watch enough to benefit from any of their extras. Right now I have their bare minimum package with no DVRs or anything. -- nm - Meg Jan 5, 16:13
i *really* need to make a call to Rogers. -- nm - Andie Jan 5, 16:00 5
- we called a couple weeks ago. Got upgraded to whole-home PVRs, upgraded interest and paying less than we were before -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 16:01 4
  - comcast pretty much said, fine bye, don't let the door smack you on the ass on the way out when you return the gear -- nm - z Jan 5, 16:11 2
    - wow, Rogers and Aliant are at war here and keep one upping each other -- nm - Beaker Jan 5, 16:13 1
      - in nearby tacoma, you have a choice of comcast cable, the phone co and Tacoma water/power operates its own network (since they wired all the meters... - z Jan 5, 16:18
