That's not the suck part though.
A month or so passes and my mom gets the first bill from AT&T (Her phone and internet were one in the same at the old house) and low and behold, they've charged her for a month of internet. Funny-since we NEVER HAD THE DSL here. I can understand maybe charging for the time that they spent figuring OUT that we couldn't have it..but her bill was identical to what it would have been at the old house with the DSL and phone service. So mom calls them and explains the situation. Whoever she talks to says sorry for the mistake and don't worry about it. Infact, go ahead and pay just for the phone and we'll give you a credit for causing you trouble. Sounds all nice and happy.
Another month goes by and a second bill comes. My mom opens it to find that they have charged her for the DSL-AGAIN (Now going on two months that we've been DSL free and riding the waves of cable) AND AND AND.............Charged her a LATE FEE for NOT PAYING FOR IT THE PREVIOUS MONTH! Mom is seeeeeeeeeething and calls back. Talks to someone who transfers her to someone else. After getting the runaround they apologize and say don't pay it. They will take care of it and make sure the problem is taken care of.
I don't need to continue on month by month. I think you can guess what happened. EVERY MONTH since we've lived here, my mom gets her DSL/Phone bill when we still DONT HAVE DSL AND NEVER HAVE. She calls every month and every month its the same. She's about at her wits end here. She said she might cancel the phone all together and just use her cell phone because she's so mad at AT&T. I just don't get it. Someone needs to get it straight that we do not and never have had DSL in this house. How can they continue charging us for something thats not even possible to install in this area???
Big pain in the neck for my mom...who spends at least one lunch hour a month on the phone with these goons.
