DSL Rates Going Up? Not!

Permalink | Comment (0) ~ Uncategorized - Whatever!

So AT&T (the company formally known as SBC or PacBell or whatever) sent me a notice that my DSL rates were going up from about $25/month to $39.99/month. “Negative Ghost Rider”:1.

So after ending up on hold for about 15 minutes, I finally got in touch with someone in AT&T’s retention department. They offered to keep the rates basically the same if I renewed for a year. I can deal with that even though cable modem speeds are better… but, of course, way more money.

Clearly, it pays to bitch.

Pretty good… that’s some complex music that “Danny Elfman”:1 composes.
