These remaining DirecTV subscribers are gonna be pissed when AT&T swaps out the dial-tone on their landline for an ad stream.
Most of them are probably boomers and will be dead soon, anyway
If it means they will finally stop fucking voting then good deal all around!
We have zoomers for the nazi vote.
Sadly you might be right
does at&t still own direc tv?
I don't know. Maybe not. Last I worked with them they were still Hughes, but the ATT acquisition had been announced.
Fun story... it once took a bit over an hour to get from their building on Imperial Hwy to the passenger terminal at LAX, and you can see LAX out the uber window on the other side of the street the entire ride. Lol.
