A bit off-track here, but a story worth hearing nonetheless... if you're a UFC fan, anyway.
A couple of days ago, we switched from Time Warner Cable to AT&t U-Verse after being assured by three different sales reps that we would be able to buy UFC ppv's. They came and installed it today. We enjoyed it for about two hours, then really got into the menu - only to discover that ppv movies were available, but not many sporting events, and no fighting whatsoever. We called them up and were told that "as of this time, UFC ppv's are not available, but that may change in the future."
Well, we told them that since we signed up for it on false information from their sales reps they should come out and unhook it and take all their crap back and hook our cable back up. Their response? "You can cancel your account and we'll send boxes for you to send the equipment back, but we don't send technicians out for disconnection. You'll have to call your cable company and have them hook you back up."
F*ck them. I'm gonna use their free for a month and then cancel. There's a TWC tech living next door that will come hook us back up for the fights tomorrow night.
