Protest ATT (DSL, PHONE and CINGULAR CELL)
Maybe I’m getting older and a little more political, but my ATT (not linked) service has been horribly slow and then when I found out about ATT allowing the government and/or having some participation in some illegal spying program, I decided to swap my service.
I swapped my net connection at home from their crappy connection speeds to the near-in-price 10 megabit cable modem from RCN.
I also cancelled that crappy extra phone line ATT/SBC makes people get since it is the equivalent to my spam mailbox. Also, when I switched and they asked why I spelled out and confirmed that the lady wrote down exactly why I cancelled my service while taking huge strides to not make the person helping me to feel bad or feel that I’m directing these issues onto them (this is important and possibly a great skill learned from Open Source communities).
I still need to switch cell phone services. Does anyone have a good recommendation for swapping? That is the last problematic service IMO and I want to stay on a plan that has a SIM chip (and hence still some control).
Similar to my previous post about boycotting Apple, I feel that this is the best way to send a message to these bad business morals.
