Extremely Annoyed with DirecTV

Perhaps annoyed isn’t a strong enough word.

I switched to DirecTV about three years ago because, frankly, the service is better than Comcast. I pay more than I paid Comcast, and I accept that. To get the NFL Redzone channel, I have to purchase NFL Sunday Ticket for slightly less than the cost of my first born.

And I begrudgingly accept that.

But a few days ago I saw a commercial saying that NFL Sunday Ticket is now included with my DirecTV subscription at no extra cost, so I was excited. I called DirecTV, only to find out that deal only applied to NEW customers. Not us poor schlubs who have been overpaying DirecTV for the past 3 years.

That, my friends, was the last straw.

Tomorrow I am calling DirecTV. If they won’t give me NFL Sunday Ticket for free, I’m switching back to Comcast.

Wish me luck.
