I have been a loyal customer of DirecTV for years. I am upset that new customers get special discounts and perks, yet loyal customers are rewarded with higher bills. I called to cancel my service, but was open to staying if the retention department persuaded me. I spoke with a man named Keyandre. Keyandre asked me why I wanted to cancel, to which I replied "I'm not happy with the fact that I've lost channel 17 (NBC) and that I am unable to get UFC fights anymore through PPV. With that being said, my bill is too high and I'm upset that I have to pay approximately $300 for the NFL Ticket, but new customers get it for free". I was very polite, I wasn't explaining this angrily, just as facts. He said he understood, didn't offer to look into my account to see what he could do, just asked me to "wait 3-4 minutes" while he started the disconnection process. He returned to the line and explained the procedure of returning my equipment and informed me my service would disconnect this evening. I was shocked. I said "Wow, so you really aren't going to try to keep me as a customer???". He didn't reply to my question, just told me to have a nice day. I thought the retention department was supposed to at least try to retain their customers? Especially ones who pay on time and have been loyal. I will never go back to DirecTV. I am so disappointed. Literally zero attempt to retain my business, nice customer service. read more
