It will be cheaper! Right! NOT---

So I call the phone company about Tony's plan and a change he wanted...got that done fine.

then the customer service rep says, hey lets review your home plan....I say no thanks knowing for sure it will cost me money

oh, but I can give you better services for cheaper than you are paying now!!! Hmmm...she got me just a bit so I say what ya got?


my normal phone/long distance/internet is about $65 per month for the last few years. with taxes etc it gets about $73 or so......she says for $80 she can get me a better long distance plan (who cares I don't call long distance really anyway lol) and WAY faster internet upgrade.

hmm.....I say DO YOU PROMISE my bill will be the same.....oh yes oh yes....never higher then about $80 with all taxes etc included.

dummy me says DO IT.



for a month I am waiting to see that 'new great bill and I have to say the faster internet is nice'

$96 something....yup. I got screwed as usual...



So I just went in and changed all my services around and now I am at $65 per month again.


why do I fall for their lines----?----cause that old---I can give you more for less money just reels me in most of the time haha

I hate I had to pay that $96 to them but they won't get more than one month !!





so what wonderful upgrade, we can do better for less plan has anyone walked into? just to find you have to fix it later?
I swear the phone company is the one place I never ever come out ahead

If you have competitors in your area, you can always say you are going to switch providors. Then ask to cancel all services. Then they will switch you to a great plan.

I was told I could save if I bundled. Internet alone was 60 but if I added cable it would be 80. Wait. How is that cheaper? Well, now the internet is only 40.

Uh... huh....
