I agree 100% with evryone of you that complain about both Satellite Companies. I would tell everyone to contact yur State agencies that govern these companies inluding but not limited to the FCC, contact your Congressman, State Representatives. The problem with why they get away with it is because we all have a tendancy to complain and not act. This posting will do nothing, the more people that call those agencies such as the Attorney Generals Office in your State the more they will look at it.
Maybe they will let all the companies compete with one another in all cities if we all unite aand compalin to the right agencies, yes it will take time from your day, but will make it a better world if we all unite and compalin equally. Pint and case Conn's Electronics in Texas.
We talk about how the economy is and we have no jobs yet these companies outsorce to other countries like India, Phillipines etc. What I do is everytime I call and get someone out of the Country I ask to speak to someone in the United States, and then I complain to them. Again if we all ask to speak to someone in the States everytime we speak to someone oversees that is taking an American job, things would change Case and point (Dell), keep in mind that by playing their game we are savings those companies Billions of dollars in American jobs, they waste our time because they dont understand us and we dont understand them, we have a recession and to top it off we do not get the benefits in Savings with the monies these companies are saving. WAKE UP EVERYONE! TAKE TIME TO COMPLAIN!!!
