I must accept full responsibility for this.

Apparently someone paid attention when I was laughing at the AT&T sales people telling them don't bother calling back or knocking on my door until they had NFL Ticket...

Thanks a F'ing pantload dude.

Well at least its not Big Government taking over. I'd have 200 gay channels and 200 "I hate white people" channels.

Re: AT&T buys DirecTv
 

So your going to have 200 total channels?

It's pending NFL Ticket renewal. I would be good with just an NFL Network satellite dish. Does that exist?

I see what you did there. :clown:

Maybe we will be able to finally stream NFL games legally.

Re: AT&T buys DirecTv
 

Wow so what does this mean anything ?

That's exactly what I told them when they tried selling me U Verse TV when I got their internet.

Yes, it means that AT&T will have monopolies in some places since it bought the competition. In the grand scheme of things AT&T did not come in at 1st place in any of its offerings.

Television - DirectTv wins hands down for price, channels, clarity, and hardware.
Internet - Cable providers own this category for speed and reliability. AT&T invested in DSL and its is inferior technology.
Home Phone - Again AT&T loses to most cable companies because if the cable modem capabilities.

I have AT&T cell phones because that is my work carrier. Historically AT&T customer service is horrible. I left them and went to Cingular, when they bought Cingular, I left them again.

When Bell was broken up because of the monopoly Southwestern Bell was a division, which turned into AT&T and it looks like the monopoly is forming again.
