Guys always say no to everything, you won't have no problems in life.

I get a call from my internet service provider the other day, offering me free TV channels. I say nothing is free, what's the catch? They say there's no catch, it's free.

All right, let's do it...

Today they came over and set it up, and I signed the contract. After they left I'm looking at the contract and I see it ends in 2 years from today. But my current contract for the internet expires in 10 months. I though the channels went together with my internet contract.

And that's the catch! Now I'm stuck paying for this for 14 more months after my current internet package expires.

That aside, under normal circumstances I would have gotten a new package for internet when my current one expires, and I would get 6-12 months free internet, and then some $25/mo for the next 12-18 months (2 years contract). Even if my current internet provider won't offer a special offer on a renewal (like Hostgator), I could just switch to a different provider and get my discounts and call it a day.

Anyway, I did a stupid thing. I knew there was a catch. And for a split second it did cross my mind that if there's a new contract then the contract expiry date could be an issue, but that split second wasn't enough to form a thought and have me act on it. And that aside, those fucks should have laid down the situation for me instead of promising "free". It ain't free! Big picture, 2 years from now I'm $300 lighter than I would normally be because of this "free" business.

The good thing is that I have 14 days in which I'm allowed to cancel the contract, which I will. But these pricks see what they do they wrote on the contract that it was signed on the 26th of June. But it wasn't, it was signed on the 30th of June. And it's Friday, so if I don't go there on Saturday, fast forward to Monday and I've already lost 9 days out of those 14 where I'm allowed to cancel the contract.

Anyway they work tomorrow (Saturday) so I'll go there first thing in the morning and get clarification on all the details, and if I'm right, cancel the fucking thing straight away. And if they give me any crap about how I'm not allowed to cancel it because reasons, that's breaking the law and my rights, so I'm gonna sue them :D

Remember guys, say no to everything always, you won't have any problems in life...

Don’t you normally get a cooling off period when you agree to contracts over the phone? At least in the Uk you do, I think it’s 14 days?

ahahahaahaahaha :D


Fucked up thing is I disconnected my home phone landline because telemarketers and other assholes like to call there and offer you shit. But my internet service provider got me on my mobile phone.

Anyway when you say no to everything for long enough eventually you forget about the rule, so I got a nice reminder now, won't be gotten again for at least 10 years :p

Yeah, I have 14 days to cancel the contract. Will be done, else lawsuit. I asked them and my Bitcoins and my Cardanos would be happy to fund one :p
 
You spoke with a sneaky REP sales probably?
he has no idea about the contracts nor is he ever investing the time to read them.
the manager tells them they get an affiliate commission for each sale so they tell you what you want to hear.

Yeah this wasn't even a sale technically speaking. It only becomes a sale 10 months from now when my current internet contract expires and I can't get out of it because this new contract continues the party for another 14 months.

Well, I guess it was a sale, a sneaky sale, they got me good hahaha :D

But thankfully we have some consumer protection and I have the time to cancel this fucking thing.

  1. Why do you sign a contract that is legally binding without reading it first?
  2. Why do you need to keep paying for the internet just to enjoy those TV channels?

1. I don't know. I like to have peace and quiet to read and understand important things and collect and organize my thoughts. Can't do that with people breathing down my neck waiting for a signature, or looking at me, or breathing around me... :)

2. Well, my internet contract expires in 10 months. This new contract expires in 24 months. When the internet contract expires, this new contract will keep going for another 14 months. And I'm not even sure if my internet will continue or if I'll only be left with the TV channels after 10 months, forcing me to get a new internet contract and really lose money :mad:

Playing with my money is like playing with my emotions :mad::mad::mad:

New rule on the forum, no breathing around @Scorpion Ghost. He does not like us stealing his local oxygen.

If you do violate that rule we will not only not warn you but we may buy you Chick Fil A.

Just don't breathe while I'm reading a contract, or working on orders, or doing customer support, or trying to do some automation, or working on some coding, or checking my automation stuff.

You know what, just stop breathing completely okay? Thank you :p

Okay I had to do a google to make sure Warren Buffet really said that, or if it's one of those things like:

"The internet is the greatest invention of humankind" - George Washington

Anyway yeah, Warren Buffet. Great minds think alike bro, that's what's up :D

What I don´t understand is since it´s a FREE service, why do you feel you need to keep paying for your internet service in order to enjoy those channels?

Just stop paying for the internet and that´s it!

Are you planning on changing ISP? Are you considering renewing the internet contract?

I'm still buying Chick Fil A gift cards for people who have seen this thread.

You are costing me some money, @Scorpion Ghost, and I do not expect you to pay it back as the entertainment is/are well past my expenses.
