Shady business

On October 25th of 2023, I cancelled my service with Direct TV. I was a loyal customer for over 17 years. On Nov 1st, I received a notice stating I owed $189 for the month of November. I called customer service twice to find out that AT&T's billing cycle goes from the 17th to the 17th of each month. Because I missed this cutoff date by 8 days, I was required to pay for 22 days that I didn't receive service. I was told that AT&T does no pro rate in Colorado. I simply think this is abysmal and very shady business practice. I am shocked a company as large as AT&T is willing to do this to customers. I will never return.

DirecTV, like many companies, does not pro-rate bills. So, yes, you're obligated through the end of the contract month.
