i’m very happy to announce that there’s currently a GREAT<\/strong> deal for ATNT Broadband service. On a TV commercial last night, ATNT was advertising a $19.95\/month for the first 6 months if you sign up now. The problem was this offer was for new customers only and the definition of new customers was that you didn’t have AT&T Cable services within 60 days prior new installation. I got mines installed last friday on a different deal: $29.95\/month for first 3 months. You can tell it isn’t AS HOT immediately as the current promotion. So I gave them a called and asked if I could switch over to the new plan, but the CSR (customer service rep) said i had to be a new customer to get this plan. I said i’ve only been a customer for a week and since i’m on no contract, i could easily cancel this service and reapply. (@ this time, i didn’t know about the 60 day rule). welp, there ya go, she brought up the 60 day rule alright. I then suggested that my roommate could always sign up for this service while I canceled mines since he is a ‘new’ customer. She put me on hold for 2minutes call back and said she’ll do it for me. tada!<\/strong> nice eh?<\/p>\n
here’s the instructions if you want to try the same thing (you can’t have a contract for this to work. but you can still try):<\/p>\n
\n
- Call 1-888-262-6300 (ATNT Broadband Customer Service)<\/li>\n
- Press 1 on your phone for sales.<\/li>\n
- Mention you saw their TV commercial advertising $19.95\/mo for the first 6 months.<\/li>\n
- Ask politely if you can switch over to this plan.<\/li>\n
- They probably respond that this promotion is only for new customers.<\/li>\n
- Tell them that you don’t have a contract and can easily cancel this service and then reactivate it with the new promotion.<\/li>\n
- They’ll probably respond that new customers are people that didn’t have ATNT cable service for at least 60 days.<\/li>\n
- Tell them that if that’s the case, you can cancel the service and tell your roommate to create a new account with their new promotion.<\/li>\n
- (this implies that you’ll still get the promotion, but it’ll be more work for them to cancel\/setup your service)<\/li>\n
- If they still deny you, hang up and try again in 30minutes and hope you’ll get a nicer customer rep.<\/li>\n
- REMEMBER: THERE’S NO HARM IN TRYING MULTIPLE TIMES. ALL THEY CAN DO IS DENY YOU.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
welp, this mid-afternoon report will be short since i’m doing one tonite. ^_^x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
