Lets see, go to directv.com
Fire up the package viewer
Shows promo price
Shows price it will change to
Even states how long the promo price is
"Lock in your price until 2011. Save $29 a month for 12 mos. Reg. price: $58.99/month.[?]"
Seriously?
Now not a single mention I can find about the contract but I do know that comes later. They should be more upfront about it and there have been issues with that in the past which is partly why we have the sticky up top about what will extend your contract.
So I think that is an area where some people might have a legit gripe. The other 95% is total bull sh*t.
