iaun--Go back to mixing Randy's morning c---tail!
No one is mixing anything. Take your bundle nonsense back to the manager meeting. it needs a rework.
you are mixing apples and oranges. An individual service may go up but the convergence of multiple services will allow people to save money by have less bills to pay. This is not rocket science. Plus the cost of doing business is always going up. Companies are going to charge as much as the market place allows. there's no one forcing anyone to purchase entertainment services. Outside of basic internet service, it's all discretionary spending--we do not have to have it. We buy because we want. Not happy? Shop around or disconnect--it's that simple.

Actually, PlayStation Vue upgraded me for free. You are incorrect.
@fxj go rage elsewhere
Love it or leave it? If you do not like what someone has posted don't read it.
Do you think calling names raising the level of discussion?
Save your rules and name calling for your miserable excuse of a pet, who also probably doesn't care.
If you don’t like it, quit, leave. You either have relevant information about a layoff (current or coming) or you’re a miserable excuse of a person to come on a site to troll people, looking for information about a layoff.
Even if that was true, AT&T said customers would get savings as a result of the merger, and THAT was a complete lie. A lie told to get their scam approved.
DirecTV Now, Sling TV, and PlayStation Vue price hikes - Look everyone is doing it
"... if they loose enough then they will care right?"
Only if they have a long term view of the business. The short term can be very profitable and if they expect to be gone before if impacts their stock options and bonuses then they are happy.
Look at how hedge funds gut companies and run with the short term money, a recent example is Sears.
Thanks to that moron Judge that doesn’t know anything about the industry.
They have paid off/ bribed politicians to get what they wanted, now are free to price gouge at will. Oh and layoff the workforce after they promised to create new jobs. Corruption, brought to you by AT&T.
Lol, you are all amazing. I love capitalism, if you all dont like ATT, then go to their competitor, if ATT really dont care, they will loose customers, if they loose enough then they will care right? Remember Blockbuster? They are gone now. They did not care to embrace new technology and they paid for it.
MORE LIES FROM Randy and cronies
