Very. They want to keep you as a customer.
If you try to leave, they offer you deals to match or beat the competition.
And they often omit certain details when you are really leaving, or make you wait until the start of a month that you then have to pay.
yes but none could match what initially got me to change, a 10mbit special offer for one year, after that 3.2mbits. my old provider also cut me off 3 days earlier than what I had paid for. sons a bitches.
HOW DID PEOPLE LIVE PRIOR TO 1985?
considering that I also lost my telephone line along with that contract, HOW DID PEOPLE LIVE PRIOR TO 18something. My GF was not amused either.
We simply existed in a world of television.
I watch alot of movies and shows but none on TV... ok, my monitor broke down and I got myself a big ass led tv as replacement. still no TV hooked up to it
they're all sons a bitches over at the TV channels anyways
The convenience of newer inventions made earlier living obsolete, simple as that.
true dat
ahh welcome back... leo hated deus ex and the new duke nukeém demo's not that great... there was this cucumber thing... Germamy blamed spain... turns out spain got screwed over.
You missed a few steam deals, there's a new one every day.
There were a few nice birthdays including Igoys and the world didnt end.
aaah? I hope you guys didn't announce me dead
leo hates everything we dont forget that in a month. I heard about Igoys bday and how BBA finally got his way... nah, just kidding.
The situation in Germany is pretty crappy when it comes to switching providers because of how the handover from one provider to the next works. It's overly complicated and you have no direct say in what happens to the line which basically results in humongous amounts of things that can go wrong while the two providers stroke their cocks waiting for the other to do something.
Best bet is to switch technologies. If you have DSL, switch to Cable. No handover, tons of possible things that can go wrong less. Next switch? Back to DSL. And have some wiggle room of one or two months before the old contract ends.
well,
that's very true and close to my experience. I did plan a month ahead.
I wanted to switch from arcor telephone DSL to kabel D.'s 10mbits line, porting over my telephone number aswell. Arcor cuts me off 3 days early. A few days go by with no sign from kabel D.
had to call them from a friend. After some time the figured out that they can't serve us(contradicting their OK fro ma month before). Reason: versatel owns all cable lines in my area until 2014 so if I want anything faster than 6000kbits dsl I got to switch to whatever versatel has. luckily their 2mbits connection is still cheaper than what arcor charged me. Then arcor turns out to be a bitch about my telephone number and as you said had a wankfest all over me and my new provider who, for some reason couldnt unlock internet while the number hasnt been handed over.
after alot of waiting everythign worked today BUT I have a new telephone number now
. sons a bitches.
edit: the good thing is that I finally got to watch the first three seasons of Sopranos( :tup
, 4 seasons of how I met your mother, a ****load of movies and comic books I cant remember right now, got new furniture and saved alot.
