DO NOT INTERVIEW HERE…read more I was called in for an interview after applying for the job on craigslist. The woman on the phone was clearly rushed and barely gave any information. There was no phone interview. Against my better judgement, I decided to give them a chance and go in for the interview. When I arrived, I was greeted by the office manager. While she is a kind individual, she is clearly inexperienced. The office manager does not know what she is doing and doesn't understand basic hiring best practices and I assume that is because of leadership. I was informed that the owner was on a call which was going to run late and he was not able to meet with me and she was going to handle my "interview" if you could call it that. I was told the owner was interested in me handling a management position which would include building out their processes as they have yet to do so and holding their sales team accountable to numbers. I asked various questions (what the growth plan was, how many more people they were looking to hire, what kind of budgets did they have) she did not know the answers to and simply deferred to the owner "knowing" the answers to these questions which I doubt he does. I don't get the feeling there is much planning at this business. She also made disparaging remarks about her team mates and gave me the impression these come from management. The overall feel was appointment setters don't believe there is urgency in their sales numbers and had a dull approach to their job. While we were going through this, another individual showed up for an interview (for another position) and she essentially invited this person to sit in on my interview and wait for her to finish. She awkwardly sat next to me for the rest of the time. The office manager went to ask a question to the owner. While she was doing so, the other interviewee shared our doubts about the legitimacy of this organization. Alas, the interview ended and I was told I would receive a call tomorrow. I decided to reach out the next day as I didn't think they were organized enough to properly follow up and I wanted to share my insights with the owner. Once on the phone and after introductions she put me on hold to speak to the owner. When she came back she informed me that the owner and another individual talked and decided I was "too high" for the position. I think she meant overqualified. I have a feeling that the person the owner spoke to was likely intimidated by my experience and swayed him away from me because they clearly need a high caliber person to come in and fix this hot mess of a business (even if it isn't me). Overall, their disorganization wasted my time but now I have a great story to laugh at with my friends, which I will be doing a lot. Until leadership gets their act together, I simply wouldn't work here and find a more established place to work.

So I was intrigued by an article in my August 2017 Consumer Reports magazine. The front cover…read morefeatured cutting the cord. I was interested since my bill for satellite was now double from when I subscribed to it exactly four years ago. The providers entice you with introductory offers that only last for a year or so. I read the several page article which was very compelling. It even estimated what you would pay depending on different options. A gal in my book club just cut the cord and suggested I look into doing the same. My daugher was in town for the weekend and I discussed my thoughts on cutting the cord and getting an over the air (OTA) antenna. I already have wifi together with HULU, Netflix, Amazon etc. She told me that she only uses an antenna together with her streaming apps. Therefore I started investigating what my options were. I wanted to replace my satellite DVR with another that would that would record at least 4 stations at a time and had enough memory to handle my recordings. I wanted the DVR accessible to my other televisions and wanted a mobile app to set and view my recordings from anywhere. I wanted the ability to stream Netflix Hulu Amazon etc. and I wanted an OTA antenna that would provide me with all the local stations and then some and would not be obtrusive. I almost purchased an amplified indoor antenna but then decided to look into an outdoor antenna that would mount on the satellite mount. I researched an April 1, 2017 article in the Minneapolis Star and Tribune which also discussed the benefits of cutting the cord. The article featured an antenna distributor. I then went to Yelp to see if I could find reviews for antenna installers. There were at least two and I talked to both companies. After discussing my needs with John I decided to go with Cable Alternatives. John was extremely knowledgeable and could provide not only the antenna but the equipment and set it up for no additional charge and no additional cost to me as long as he provided the equipment. John was also very courteous and answered all my questions and concerns. He would make this very easy for me! He knew exactly what I wanted to accomplish and how to implement it. He thought the Tivo Bolt and Mini's were a great choice. I called my satellite TV provider and canceled the service a week out and scheduled John for the day that my service was terminated. John's installer Andrew is absolutely fabulous! He was at my house promptly at 9 o'clock in the morning on the day of termination. He installed all of the equipment helped me register for the Tivo service and equipment online and installed the antenna, TiVo Bolt DVR and my TiVo mini's for the additional televisions in the house. Everything was hooked up to my existing cable and linked to the wifi router. He got all the equipment working and showed me how to navigate the system. What a great guy! He is extremely personable and extremely knowledgeable! He indicated that he has done hundreds of these installations and he was very diligent in his endeavor. I have now enjoyed my first couple of days after cutting the cord and I love the equipment I love the installation I get great reception. I may miss a few cable channels but not the cost. I would highly recommend Cable Alternatives if you're thinking about cutting the cord with cable or satellite. Trust me since I have had one or the other for over thirty years and finally am not paying to watch my favorite shows on local TV.

This was a fiber-to-the-home connection, complete with a fiber optic cable I could actually look at in the closet. When I activated the service, which was really quick and easy, I got about 50 Megabits per second over the modem's built in wi-fi router. When I wired my laptop directly to the switch, however, I easily got the rated 500 Mbps I was paying for in an online speedtest. Don't use the built-in wifi router. I purchased high quality Unifi equipment, and I easily get 4x faster speeds than I did when I only had the built-in wifi access point.

Once again, I had service that well exceeded my expectations when having a problem with both my internet and phone service. On the recent occasion, I sent an email to the customer care team about my internet outage, and almost immediately got a cell phone call from a representative. He said he saw the email, and wondered, maybe we could work more efficiently together if I was available by phone. He worked with me patiently to explore and fix my internet problem and then took even more time to work on a problem with my phone service that we identified while talking. Throughout the process he was professional, efficient, courteous, and extremely patient. This exceptional service is consistent with every interaction I have had with this company, and I plan to find other opportunities to amplify my continued confidence in this company and appreciation for its customer service. Before switching from Comcast for internet service, I asked friends, colleagues and neighbors about was the customer service the company provided and I can honestly say that I have never, ever experienced the level of prompt, professional and courteous service I have received from this company.

1-Star Review I'm…read moreextremely disappointed with DirecTV's cancellation policy. I called to cancel my service, but because I did so after the new billing cycle started, I was charged for an entire month that I won't even be using. They do not prorate or offer any kind of refund, even if you cancel just one day into the new cycle. This feels like an unfair and outdated business practice that punishes loyal customers who are simply trying to end their service responsibly. Most modern companies offer more flexible and customer-friendly policies. Unfortunately, DirecTV does not seem interested in supporting its customers once they decide to leave. I would strongly caution anyone considering DirecTV to read the fine print and be very careful with their billing cycles. I won't be returning as a customer, and I will be sharing this experience with others.

I was told I should have canceled sooner. I was told where I could file a formal complaint, but was unable to find it. When I went into my account, it shows that I can use Directv until 9/26/25.
