Call your ISP/TV provider today

[Carmichal]

Better...also you're a douchebag. I work for Time Warner and we have people calling in everyday asking the same fucking thing and we can't do anything for them. So then you guys yell at us...we still can't do anything and then get bitched at for "allowing" a customer to leave and it dings us on our Q/A's. Bottom line if you sign up for a promotion ....say 29.99 for 6 months and then it goes to reg price and you bitch about it? You're retarded and please stop fucking with other peoples incomes and jobs...economy is hard enough as it is.

My ex works at twc. He's a low life.

I'm sure this only works for any ISP that isn't Verizon FIOS.

They got this internet shit on lock.

Whoa Assassin, I'm sorry if this personally affects you, but that's no reason to go off on me. Calling me a douchebag for wanting to save money is uh, well, a fucking douchebag move.

As for you being unable to give your customers discounts - how is that my problem? Or my responsibility? I'm sorry your company sucks and wants to fuck its customers right up the ass. It's what will eventually drive your company out of business. That's business, and blaming the consumer for being savvy while your company is shitty is, again, douchey and quite frankly, ridiculous.

You're right, I was getting a promotional rate that expired. However, if I can call my provider and get a discount of 30% or go to their/your competitor to get a discount of 50%, that's my prerogative and I'm sure as shit going to do it. Again, that's business baby, and if your job at TWC sucks so bad because of 'douchebags' like me, who want to maximize their monthly income by paring bills down where they can, well, find another fucking job?

I would pay any price they asked for FiOS. 100Mbps up/down for an affordable price?! Fucking SIGN ME UP. I'll likely never see it in Atlanta. :*(

P.S. - Any of you want to tell me what a gimp bot is? Or are we talking about JennieO again?

[Carmichal]

I can't find any proof of gimp bot. what if it's all a lie. OMG NOOOOOOOOOO!!

why should you get special treatment? seriously. there is a listed price that you sign up for. either accept and pay it, or go fuck yourself. it's not his company "fucking its customers right up the ass". it's his company not wanting to give discounts when they are not earned. it's not a customer being savvy, it's a customer being a whiney bitch and bringing hardship onto people trying to do their job.

Wow, alright, let's break this down real quick.

Consumer X has $100 to spend each month on cable. He sees that company A offers cable for $30 a month for a year, company B offers it for $40 a month for a year and company C, his current provider, is charging him his full allotted amount, $100 per month.

He calls his current provider to tell him he is being overcharged, as his provider's competitors offer him a much better price to switch. His company tells him 'the price is the price, we will not lower it.'

By your line of reasoning, and Assassin's by extension, the consumer should suck it up, stop complaining and continue overpaying by $60-70 a month because his company says that's the price.

Do I even need to explain to either of you why that's some of the stupidest logic and reasoning I've ever heard of in my life? You keep getting fucked by greedy MNCs and don't 'rock the economic boat' if you want to. I'll continue to maximize how far my money goes and get the best value per dollar that I can. The price is never the price. The market drives the price. And in this case, the market drove the price of my Internet/television bill down 30% because, quite frankly, the price was too fucking high. Calling me the douchebag and the poor, multibillion dollar company the victim in this situation is flat out absurd.

Get yours. No one's going to give it to you.

Thas what it is son! Defending a company's rates, when they control the market (without competition) in your area is one thing, but defending them when their rates are astronomically different compared to another company in the same competing field is sheepish. Acolyte you sounded like an Apple consumer in your latest post.

So much for being helpful on this forum. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me. LOL

Still want to know what a gimp bot is though.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

what i'm saying is that you, as a consumer, shouldn't feel entitled to special treatment. if you find a better place, by all means switch. i encourage it. but to call and get pissy when the person on the other end can't give you a lower price is fucking retarded.

This. In so many ways this. You knew what the fuck you were signing up for you and you bitched out. If you can't fucking afford something that isn't a necessity then fucking don't get it. Grow the fuck up.
