I've had customers who worked at the local call center here. They usually only work about 6 months or less and then end up quiting or being fired. After 90 days if they were still working for the call center. They got a free Directv system.
May be you should read some of the complaints on this site. Then go read this article
http://dca.lacounty.gov/alertDirectvSettlement.html . Then talk to some installers and dealers . Then I think you will find the answer to your question. As to what Directv might condone .
Directv as called me 4 times over the past 1 1/2 . Wanting me to sign back up with as a Dealer. But in order to keep my agreement with them . I would have to install 24 new systems a quarter. Then 90 days after I drop below the quotta . I would then be dropped has a dealer for them.
Over the past 3 years the two largest dealer's in my area . One closed their doors and the other moved their business . If they can't make the quarterly quotta . Then what chance does a little guy me have of making it.
Then why bother wasting my time signing back up. I myself like everyone else. Would like to be able to work. But you have to make your decision if this job is really worth having.
Also for those of you who are in Cox Cable area . Apparently their contract with ESPN is up. Cox is considering dropping ESPN and replacing them with something else. You guessed it ESPN wants to increase the price to Cox.
A few years ago Cox and ESPN got into it over a price increase. Back then I read an article whereby ESPN considered bankruptcy or going PPV. I wonder what they will decide this time.
Which one will give in first and which Cable Company is next........
HBO has also seen a decline of consumers ordering their service and dropping them. To make up for the loss in revenue. They've been renting their movies to Netflix. So HBO is also considering a price increase to Netflix. So how long before Netflix is forced to increase their monthly rates.
