The only way I can get a high-speed internet connection where I live is to pay for cable TV and internet. Just internet isn't an option, it's an add-on. So I'm paying for 90-some channels of TV that I don't use. I don't even own a TV, and can't stand to be in the same room with one that is on.

Hard for me to imagine that anyone would actually want to watch that dreck.

Lmao

and actually thats not true, you have been lied to by a sales guy when they signed you up....

they try the same thing with me, i asked to speak to a manager, without telling the sales guy why, i ased the manager if i HAD to get the tv and phone, "no, ofcourse not", I then went on a "trieste" about how his sales guy lied to me,,yadayada

i bet you could call up, ask to talk to a manager, tell you got hosed, and that you've been paying for crap you don't want...direct tv are known for this kinda crap, heck most of them are, all the sales fuks are on commision

push the point, i bet you they give you some money back
