A former customer!

I do hope someone from your corporate reads this.  It may help with retaining a customer. As a former customer of 15+ years, let me just say that it was hard for me to leave because I got used to the service but never used to your constant increase in fees.  My bill went from $75 originally to $175! That is highway robbery!  The fact that I had to call in every single time a promotion expired off my bill just to keep my bill low was asinine! I finally had enough after your "retention" team stated they could no longer do anything for me on the bill, even though each and every time I told them that I would switch to YouTube TV.  I finally cut the cord with you all after your team could no longer offer to keep my bill close to $100.  NOW, you send me an email asking for me to come back and offer me a 2 year deal around $79!?? Are you kidding me?  Maybe you should direct your retention team to offer that BEFORE a customer cancels.  There is no way I would ever switch back now that I have a taste of YouTube TV and see how much more they offer for just $70/mth.  My only regret is not canceling directv sooner after so many friends told me to.  Now I will share my experience with friends on how much better the service is with YouTube TV.  Such a shame though that your retention team doesn't have the ability to make it work before you lose a customer for life.  Thought I would pass that on to you because as a business owner I would want to know why I am losing customers.

For our TV programming/channel requirements, DTV's Satellite, Ultimate Pkg, has it covered for all our needs.  Then, it is most USER FRIENDLY, too.  

Yes, as Juniper stated, complain to the BBB and move on.  Prices are rising everywhere in the market place.   Pay or buy something else close to that need, at a lower price....or not.

Honestly could not agree more,28 years as a customer with directv it was never the same when sold to ATT. Between the constant rate hikes yearly to the blackouts with channels always being interrupted to the most recent two week blackout with Disney. During this entire blackout the actually sent email that rates would be going up and yes the channels were still not reinstated  during price change. They truly don't care and the greed between them all has to stop..
