~DownWithDirec's review of DirecTV customer service

GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's DirecTV customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~DownWithDirec: TERRIBLE! We have had DirecTV for * months and they are charging $*** to come out and do ** min worth of work since we moved so early on in our contract. I talked to a supervisor and they were even absolutely NO help! Just kept telling me that "since I was a new customer they could not do less then $***." She even acted like they were doing me a favor by giving a "discount" from the actual $*** installation fee! WHAT! Who in their right mind can justify $*** for ** min worth of work! This company is a bunch of crooks and would never recommend them to ANYONE! they would probably charge you $*** to refer a friend instead of give. DO NOT GET DIRECTV! EVER!

~DownWithDirec: I'd give them a five out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about DirecTV's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~DownWithDirec: For that I would say four out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other DirecTV customers?
~DownWithDirec: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for DirecTV to know who you are.
