I signed up with DTV a few years ago. At that time, DTV was a top commodity. Much faster than what I had with tons of possibilities. Then a year or two passed, and DTV just wasn't living up to the expectations I had for it. Fortunately for me, I came across a sweet new deal with cable. Not only would it satisfy my needs for television, but it could also come into play for internet and phone. It was a huge upgrade compared to the DTV I had signed with a few years earlier.
Problem was, I didn't have room for cable and DTV. Who would? And I couldn't very well drop the DTV after I had just signed with them. So I did what any reasonable person would do. I dropped the system down a set of stairs, called up DTV and told them their equipment wasn't functioning correctly. Of course, I felt bad about the way I ended our relationship, so I called my neighbor and recommended they try DTV.
Worked out good for everyone.
