Re: Poll: If the ACC Network is causing you to switch providers

The ACCN didn't cause me to change, the $238.00 a month caused me to downgrade, and I hated the downgraded spectrum package for $191 plus tax, and that was garbage compared to what I had for the $238. With the internet for $70.99, and YouTube TV for $50, plus HBO, show time, and stars will be about $25 more with YouTube, so that's now $75 for YouTube, $70 for internet, and will be getting as much and some with a saving of $40 bucks going the YouTube TV way. So I'm paying less and still have just as much for $40 bucks cheaper!!!

Just so you know, Spectrum can be negotiated.
I just took my $70.99 internet bill down to $55.
Just call and say cancel service until you get a representative on the phone. Once you do, you'll be connected to the loyalty dept and can haggle with them. They first offered me $60, but I pushed a bit harder and got to 55.

I'm with All Orange on this one.
For me, I do not care to have to call and hassle with them every year about the increased rates. Now, with Youtube TV I just pay them $50/mth, get everything I want, unlimited recording in the cloud, etc and no worries about confrontations with Directv anymore. I'm an old retired guy that is tired of all the hassle. Switching fixes that problem for me.

Absolutely 1000% where I am with my thoughts and feelings about this thing called Cable TV crocodile's. Coming up through the good ole days, we threw up a TV antenna with a booster with one of those inside turn the antenna thingies that sat on top the TV, and boom, every channel posible right there at your fingertips. Nowadays we have to try and negotiate the best price we can afford and have to accept what we get. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of the cable tv negotiations year in and year out!!!

Please tell how bc I couldn't get anywhere with the bit-ch that I talked to, and I was as nice as could be until I realized I was getting absolutely nowhere, and that's when I informed them how I truly felt about the entire cable tv screw over....

I'll Cutback On Services From Comcast For Now....

What I'm hoping is to use the "Free Trials" for Youtube TV and then Hulu and hopefully a deal will be worked out with Comcast by then.
If not, I'll just cut out some of the services I'm getting with Comcast.
Now if I like these other options better I may just dump Comcast except for there internet and move on.
I can't imagine they want to give people a reason to shop around....But Blockbuster Video probably never thought Netflix would work either...

It remains to be seen. I have heard that Directv Now may have the ACCN.
I will be at the GA Tech so I don't need an answer immediately.
If it's not there, then I will be making the switch soon to YoutubeTV.

I should add that CBS and NBC have to return for football season as well to keep me with Directv NOW.
