New AT & T Survey

December 15th, 2009 Admin Leave a comment Go to comments

This morning we received a new AT & T survey. It appears they are considering implementing contracts on your home telephone service as well as their U-Verse TV service. At present time they only require contracts on their cellular telephone service. In any case, here is the survey.

This survey is about a new program concept that could save you money on your telephone services. First, we need to ask a few questions about your current situation.

What is your primary way to access the Internet at home?

How many landline telephone lines do you have in your home?

Who provides your landline telephone service?

What company currently provides your wireless/cellular service?

Do you have your AT&T wireless service billed with your AT&T home telephone service?

What is the primary way you get TV programming in your home?

What company provides your Long Distance service on your home telephone line?

Are you looking to switch telephone providers in the next 12 months?

New Pricing Concept

AT&T is considering a new promotion for AT&T High Speed Internet service. If you would sign up to a two-year contract for your AT&T High Speed Internet service you would receive a $5 Monthly discount. This offer would be available to both new and existing customers.
