AT&T

2007-12-27 18:14:13.217786+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Further evidence that AT&T is an incompetent monopoly: I'm calling to get my DSL set up, we decide that, in fact, it's cheaper if I get a phone line along with the DSL, the guy walks me through the bundle portion of the script in which he tells me that he can give us a great deal where they get our cell phone (already with AT&T), our DSL and our phone line all on the same bill for only $40-50 more per month than I'm already paying, if only I'll give them access to my long-distance records for marketing purposes.

I say "Uhhh... that doesn't sound like a good deal to me." He says "yeah, me neither, but I have to read the script."
