Mtnmanco said:Candygirl is a phony and a fraud. In this post he uses an ID of "Candygirl" portraying himself as a D* CSR who is tired of all the whining customers. In a VOOM thread he uses the ID "Ancalagowit81" claiming he is an installer who does 40 VOOM installs a week. In another D* string he claims he has done thousands of D* installs. This is all BS! In reality he is a nut case and "Provocatuer" who dabbles in fantasy. In other recent posts he assumes other ficticious roles either with this user name or another. You can spot him because he has a distictive and unusual writing style. He capitalizes every word.

Considering "CANDYGIRL" states that she cancels the peoples accounts, yet, if she's doing that she has to be Retention. And, if they're retention, they'd know that it costs less to KEEP a customer than it does to get a new one. So, a customer that's been with DTV for say... 5 years is more than worth $250 credit for whatever. Considering that after about 2 years of being a DTV good cust it's all profit(Well, fine, MOSTLY.) on that person from there on.
Erm, last I was aware, the IPPV limit was 49.99 for everybody at activation and was raised based on the customers history with the COMPANY, not the credit report. (Up to $200.) So that means... A late payment would affect that.
"And The Whole "you Treat Your New Customer's Better Than Your Existing Customers!" That's Getting Old As Well, It Is What It Is, You Recieved A New Customer Offer Too, Don't Forget!!!" ... Really now, are you aware a LOT of these people spent the $800 on the receiver back when DTV first came out? I do think that a good customer like this deserves the price & install of a DVR(For example) waived if they really don't feel that they should pay for it.
Oh yeah... Yes, we're all people... However, who are you going to b***h at when you've had a bad time with a company? If you READ your scripts... They all say something along the lines of... "If customer insists... Do X" "If customer REALLY insists... Waive completely"... Which reads as... Don't do much at all for the customer if they're not upset about paying for something they don't believe they have to. Also, those customers want to release their anger somewhere. They do know it's not your fault, however, they also know that you're the ONLY person they can talk to about this. If you LISTENED to your customers you'd most likely hear them tell you first: "I'm really sorry you got this call, this isn't YOUR fault at all, but..."

h0m3rs1mps0n said:Although I don't necessarily agree with everything the OP said, I will say that the general attitude of this country is:
1. I want it my way
2. I want it now
3. I want it free
Its sad (especially when you get good service from someone) but thats how it is. Some friends of my parents' go out to eat every night and they go to some of the best restaurants and every single night they get their meals for free because they complain about everything. I asked them if they feel bad about it and they say "Nope, if they are going to give it to us for free, why pay for it?".
To me, that is a terrible attitude but it certainly explains a lot of problems with the U.S.

the call center in boise is the main customer installation call center and just so you know we set the standard of call handle time, wrap time, and idle time for all call center reguardless of owners because we know what we're doing, we have maximum of 65 main bank/billing agents, 435 customer installation agents, and 575 retention agents, don't forget tier one tech, access card team, 24-hour team called sunrise and the new call type nct. stop trying to act like you know everything. boise, huntsville and tulsa are owned by dtv, every where else is outsourced by convergy's or another company.
