RANT: AT&T can kiss my .....

I am normally a pretty patient guy but AT&T has pushed me to the brink. Thanks to an ex calling collect my phone bill went sky high and I told AT&T to block my long distance and ability to take collect calls until I paid the bill off and told them different. So two weeks ago I pay the bill off and tell them to turn long distance back on. Since then I have spent 6 hours (no exaggeration) on the phone with them including 3 hours today and I still can not make a toll of long distance call. However they are trying to bill me for $45 worth of long distance calls despite the fact they admit I can not make long distance calls. They are even confused on that one. Anyway after 3 hours on phone with them today they tried to sell me a new phone plan which was $25 a month plus 5 cents a min for toll or long distance calls. Thanks to the Evil Dr I had a link to Lingo VoIP in front of me and told AT&T to stick their service and signed up for the VoIP which has unlimited long distance and local for $19.95 a month. AT&T can kiss my arse!!!!!

Yup, went through something similar with Qwest. Along with the fact that for 6 years, they kept saying DSL was coming to my area within the next 3-5 months. So I said to remove their service immediately and to not contact me for anything again. Been using my cell phone for everything now. So nice!

I sicked my wife on them once...

They switched our long distance carrier without our permission...

Needless to say, I'm positive that the actual people she "talked" to are probably just now finishing thier therapy!!!

We ended up with a credit of $540.00 on our bill and didn't have to send them a check for almost 16 months.

The cable company also is signing up for therapy. Got a credit of $350 from them.

At least your problems are on a residentual level.

I gotta deal with AT&T's idiotic issues on a professional level. I'm no formally educated network guy, but when I figure out troubles that they cant on my IP connections-well, theres a problem.

Plus when calling them up its like dialing the Dell Help Desk in the middle of Bombay India.

Trust me... I know both Dad & Knight's pain. I've had the misfortune of dealing with them for both personal & professional reasons. Never again.

OOO And if someone is interested in Lingo, let me know. I can send you a referal and you'll get a $25 credit after 90 days (and I'm pretty sure you still get a free month to start.)
