Daylight Saving Time

Many years ago I called XM, the rep said so you want to cancel? I said no, I want a better deal, rep said you want to cancel? I said no I want a better deal. We went through this probably 8 times. I finally had enough and YES! I WANT TO CANCEL! Rep says, thank you sir, now I can send you the the department that can help you.

OMG! He just needed me to say the magic words to send me to where they actually could give me a better deal. Usually called customer retention…

That's who I ask to speak to when I call Comcast. Customer Retention.

Yep, customer retention is my go to for Directv, spectrum, etc, each year when I call. Just didn't recall having to ask for that at Sirius.

Good to know. I'll give it a try with Spectrum.

It did it work with Spectrum, had to cancel for a month then come back as a new customer…

Glad that is behind me…

That sucks.
But then sucking is consistent for them.

Worked for me at least for internet. Some of it probably depends on whether there is 5G or other competition in your area for internet.

I wanted to leave residential cable/internet and go to business internet. They would move me but not give me the advertised rate, only the standard rate near twice the advertised rate. Waited and got what I wanted…

I used to have business internet and wanted to go the other way. I did not realize the huge difference in customer support - business internet has MUCH better support at Spectrum.

Hence my change. Heck the cost may be lower too…

My alarm clock from the 90's croaked, so I had to buy a new one today. DST feature? I almost feel like it's a win.

I was too, ended up with one of these - but for about $20. All the alarms you could ever want, even sings to you and answers dumb questions.

Needs a leading "h" to work.

All I want is a clock to tell me what time it is when I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, and to charge my phone.

I really prefer the blue light (which I can set low) to the red. That was a nice change. We also picked up a couple extras for our guest rooms (I always appreciated that when I was a guest. The others have 2 charging ports.

Perhaps I'm haunted of years of the red light and annoying sound combo.
