Maybe you don’t know this, but I live out in the boonies of Oregon. Well, for me it’s really only a 20 minute drive to a big grocery store, but for anyone who wants to visit me from town, I might as well live half a state away…perspective is an interesting thing, yeah?
Anyway, we have such slow internet through our phone company, it’s almost as though we are stuck in the internet caveman era. So yesterday I decided, enough is enough, and signed up for a tv/internet combo package through a certain satellite company, whose name shall not be mentioned. They quoted me $160 a month for the package deal, with a two year commitment. I tentatively agreed,and they are to come install tomorrow.
Well, then I thought about back to two years ago, when I decided to cancel tv all together, and how they kept offering me a lower monthly price, as much as 70 percent less a month from what I had been paying, before they believed that I really just didn’t want tv, and left me alone.
Since the guy told me I could talk it over with my husband, and cancel with no penalties before installation, I called them back and told them that I had thought about it, and it was simply too much. I could not go with their service. The representative put me on “hold” to speak with his “manager”. This is how I imagine the conversation went.
