I called AT&T on monday because I was having issues streaming netflix and vudu. Both vudu and netflix technical support helped me identify the issues as routing problems. The trace routing showed deficiencies with hops 2,3,4,and 5 to the vudu servers, and were timing out. AT&T can fix the routing problems and I will be able to stream, right?
WRONG! AT&T first tried to blame netflix and vudu, then they tried to blame my computer, then they tried to blame my PS3 and roku devices. Then they decided to admit that they could help me. After waiting on hold for several more minutes, they told me they were going to escalate the issue and would resolve it in 24-72 hours, calling me once it was corrected. Well today (friday) I called them back since nobody called me. The rep I spoke to (Alex), told me that they would have to send me to ConnectTech(sp?) for level three support. I asked him if it would cost anything extra and he said NO it wouldn't cost extra. Well they transfered me AGAIN, and I waited on hold AGAIN, and had to explain my entire situation AGAIN. The guy at ConnectTech put me on hold so he could ask someone what I was talking about (he didn't know what tracert was) then he told me it would be $49.99 for a one-time assistance or $15 per month for 12 months! {word filter evasion}I don't know who can help me at this point.
I've spent hours of my life on the phone with AT&T, and my next call will be to cancel service
