My Bill went up $5.00 with no explanation.

My Bill went up $5.00 with no explanation.  The TV keeps asking me to connect to the Internet and giving me a "choice" of reconnect or remind me later.  How about leave me alone and do what I say.  When I took it OFF the internet all the problems and ads (the same ones over and over) stopped.  You were using my internet to send me ads that you received the revenue for.  I'm not paying for your revenue.  You people need to stop listening to those eggheads that come up with these ideas that depend on ramming stuff down our throats because we can't respond with force.  You don't even have a (Edited per community guidelines)ing phone number to complain to.  I have fired you before and I'm headed that way again.

The real people they don't show want the (Edited per community guidelines)ed machine to stop asking me to connect to the Internet.  Direct only uses it to slow down my access and use my data to send me ads they use as a screen saver.  It was causing ridiculous problems and one of their techs told me to disconnect it from the Internet and all the problems went away.  Now it's just an occasional beg that says reconnect or remind me later.  No other choice..How one sided is that? How about a choice of bug off.  They want to be a streaming service on your dime and it cost them nothing.  The dish becomes redundant. And the price goes up another $5 this month with no explanation.  No one answers THAT phone.

My bill goes up in the typical AT&T trick of a few bucks a month will never be noticed. This month it was five dollars. They want to use my Internet for free to send me ads they get money for. Screw them.

@Ludwick577 Remember, you have the permissions to move posts to the correct forum, which @Juniper has apparently done.

Yes, I know that, but after I posted that comment --I went to move it but someone beat me to it. No need to lecture me

@Ludwick577 I wasn’t lecturing you. Just as @Juniper noted, your post read like you were telling the OP to post elsewhere, so I presumed you did not know you could move it yourself. It was only intended as a friendly reminder, not lecturing. Maybe next time, say that you are moving the thread to the correct forum, then if someone beats you to it, it won’t matter.

Nope. I was letting them know where they should have posted --for future reference.
