Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Hey, @5chr+1bLhnTjd , uverse was a sinking ship from the moment it launched. A bit player, like Dish or the new version of uverse, atttv. It was never relevant or worthwhile. Nobody took it seriously, and nobody really bothered to get it even if the alternatives were Comcast or DirecTV

Just more T garbage sold at inflated rates with bad customer service. The funeral was long overdue, but nobody is sad at its passing.

"Uverse destroyed DTV before T bought that dinosaur ... "

Um, no. Not even close, sweetie. U-verse had about 4M subscribers at its peak. DTV had about 22M at the peak.

Any DTV to Uverse churn wasn't destroying, it was picking up crumbs. However, you are partially right in that T did eventually destroy DTV. But only because of mismanagement and incompetence after taking it over.

Uverse destroyed DTV before T bought that dinosaur, the majority of my uverse installs were churns from over priced DTV in 2007-till T bought that company. DTV was cool that it didn’t take away from bandwidth enabling our fttn bonded pair customers to squeeze just that much more bandwidth out of their internet subscription. It’s still viable for rural under served areas but metro areas. Sure if you can’t pass a credit check. DTV is a good fit. Remember how excited my Uverse TV customers were to be able to change a channel and it does it instantly, no channel lag, no weather outages. Fiber is king. ATT TV on fiber blows both uverse and DTV out of the water. Streaming is here to stay. Low cost mass market streaming is where it’s at. Why pay $200 a month to watch commercials?

Bill Morrow is a boot li---r. Watch for him to cut jobs right and left once this deal closes.

The only thing is that the group that bought the 30% stake will get their ROI and then dump it off in pieces where it’s can. I would bet streaming service comes back to AT&T umbrella, but if there is a DTV in 5-7 yrs, I will be very surprised.

OP has a point. I’m amazed at all the T employees jumping ship to the new DTV. Are you not paying attention to what’s happening with streaming and television. DTV is not going to grow anything and in reality it’s a sinking ship. As this current customer base dies off or leaves for cheaper alternatives there is nobody that is going to pay 200 dollars for television.

Making DirecTV great again.

The fact that Bill Morrow will be the new CEO should tell you what’s about to happen.

OP sounds like an entitled loser who hates life, because he sucks at it.

Wow. This posting is a very special kind of stoopid! I mean, olympic gold medal, world chapionship stoopid.

Leaving T will immediately be a major plus for DTV. New management will likely simplify and streamline packages thereby helping control cost, which will immediately help the service.

Of course DTV will never return to the glory days, but just by leaving T they've taken a major step in the right direction. There are still a good number of linear tv subscribers (cable & satellite) - nearly 100 million - so there is still a market for people who prefer watching TV on a TV, in a living room, with a screen larger than a phone. And with reasonable cost, a pay package is about the same as having Netflix, Apple+, and HBO Max streams.

The only reason DTV is in the gutter now is because of the T effect. The King Mierdas of companies once again has left its mark.

Anyone that can escape the T toxic environment that Ratty and Stinky have transformed T into should be over joyed!

Your new owners of DTV will cut the cr-p out of you to reduce cost. It’s all about how quick they can get a return on the investment and sell that sh-t to make money. DTV has no path to ever grow again.

That's a stupid post. Conratulations on the stupidest post of the day.

Well, thank you so much for that market segmentation analysis. I'd be willing to pay a nickel for it, but you've already given it away for free, so why bother?
