Default Woodsmith scammers

Huh.

SBC CALLED ME me a few months ago, and offered to increase my DSL
speed and cut my bill to less than half ($49.99/mo to $19.99/mo, or
something like that) . All I had to do was commit to 2 more yrs.

The guy who called asked me "Have you ever asked for a renewal of your
promotional rate you got when you signed up"? And then said "You
should do that whenver the promotial rate expires".

Go figure.

Things like this **** me off.
I got a renewal notice today from my Woodsmith mag.
2 years for 36.00
Just for giggles I checked their website - I can get 2 years there for
$26.00.

I hate when they try to scam the ppl that support them.
Just ****es me off.



I hate that also. I got a letter from SBC indicating that my DSL
subscription was going to expire in 2 months and that I did not have to do
anything to continue using my DSL service, however the price was going up
33%. No phone number on the letter or any thing like a web site to inquire.
30 minutes later I have negotiated a better deal for less money. Idiots,
had they simply continues to bill me the same price they would have received
more money and provided less services.
