AT&T Will Keep Your Money If You Cancel TV Or Internet In Middle of Billing Cycle (gizmodo.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Gizmodo: The telecom giant has announced the end of its prorated credits for some subscribers who cancel a service in the middle of a billing period. AT&T bills service for DirecTV, U-verse TV, AT&T Phone, AT&T Internet, and Fixed Wireless Internet in advance. It previously offered the option to receive a credit for any unused days in a month when a subscriber canceled before the next billing period, but it will now force many customers to ride out the month with nothing in return. The change goes into effect on January 14, 2019, in most states, so if you're considering a change, it's time to plan ahead. If you're even one day into your billing month, you'll presumably have to pay for the full period, according to the company's new policy. You get to keep the service you don't want for that period of time, but, of course, you're canceling because you don't want it. The change will not apply to customers in California, Illinois, New York and, in some instances, Michigan.
... and have to present a copy of the "Abmeldebescheinigung" ...
That made me think of the "safe word" scene in the movie Eurotrip:
Sexy girl: Bring out the testical clamps!
Guy: Oh Crap! Flugan..basja..sbiner holzeen?
Sexy girl: do u mean Fluggaenkoecchicebolsen?
Which you can apparently get on a t-shirt
In related news, AT&T will also be using testicle clamps on people canceling their service.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
This is why (until Trump anyway) we didn't let complete retards make such important decisions.
