people aren't spending their nights anymore flipping through channels to see what might be on so they can watch...
They load up an app get a suggestion given to them and off they go....
I agree, no one wants to spend $100 on tv any more...I have directv at home due to employee pricing, and i seriously don't even remember the last time i turned it on to watch something. It just doesn't make sense anymore, and i sure as hell wouldn't be paying $100 for tv for the off chance that i might need it.
AT&T should have kept their tv service at $15/10 eaten the loss and created a streaming serivce that actually had all their IP on it so people could consume when they wanted too.
it seems like the company is going with the opposite...lets raise the prices even more and make streaming just as expensive with a bunch of stuff people don't want.
I seriously don't get the direction this company is trying to take...
It’s costing them a lot to install this too, this was supposed to be cheaper for the company supposedly because it was going to be csi drop shipped to customers but now I’m hearing they are sending multiple truck rolls to make sure it’s going to work, first to have the lines conditioned (oh look our crummy plant rears it’s ugly head) and then a tech to install the rest of it and assist 91 year old grandpa remember his log in. LOL
The age of people paying for the privilege of consuming advertising is over. T and her competitors just have not figured that out yet.
Plain & simple. They're losing their a$$ and scrambling to make up the difference.
They're doing it wrong. In an effort to compete for cord cutters that are fed up with high priced cable and satellite, we are offering a high priced streaming service.
Ok I'm not good with math but $135 for 125 channels? Isn't that completely opposite pricing when bundling? So we are now the unbundled carrier? I'm guessing this isto serve a very small demographic. Time will tell how long we all will last...
Maybe if somebody came up with a way to turn on your TV and simply channel scroll up or down, maybe punch in the exact channel you want to watch or hit a search button. No logging in or out, no limit on how many tvs can be connected...hmmm
This is great deal for employees. Maybe if enough employees buy they will keep themselves employed by being their own customer. So that is what 300,000 people? That could be enough to keep some people employed.
Is this to drive up content price for 3rd party distributors?
$10 for an employee discount. I dropped u-verse tv and switched to it. Get unlimited data on the internet with it. Good deal for employees who are OK with having a 3 stream limit. Bad for the general public who have access to more competitive services.
This is almost as out of touch as the 3 tiered HBO Max pricing that they were going to do. Nobody wants to pay over $100 for tv and nobody wants to pay more than $10-15 for a streaming service. We need some innovative leadership here that actually wait for it understands the customers they are selling to.
Count me out. Lol randymust need to give him and Stanley a raise so they go to pebble beach more.
