Cyersquatters Suck!

So I’ve been thinking of re-doing and even re-naming DragonSteelMods…

I’ve come up with a lot of names, and I’ve searched for the available .com domain name, about 50 of them so far..

they’re all taken and it’s pissing me off to no end..

it wouldn’t be bad if they were actual websites, but 99% of them are cybersquatters asking 10’s of thousands of dollars for the names.. they’re just parked pages with ads on them.. they’re ruining the internet seriously, there could be valuable and informative sites on those domains but no, some one had to take them and hold them ransom..

grrr….

My AT&T Contract Expires in two weeks…

Hmm.. what to do, what to do…

My contract expires on the 27th actually, two weeks basically..

but their records are wrong on how long I’ve been with them, it says only since 2006, but I know it was before that.

I’ve been fighting with them for years about this literally.. I was with AT&T, they switched me to Cingular, and then they switched me back to AT&T. The 2006 date is from when I was switched to Cingular officially and apparently they count nothing before that and I don’t know why..

I’m loathe to re-up with them as they screwed me over the last time on my phone.. I got the AT&T Tilt when it was new, fine they gave me a $50 discount on a refurb one, but the week after I bought the phone they put it on sale for FREE with contract renewal  Of course I called them and complained but they said there was nothing they could do.. you mean to tell me that they honestly didn’t know they were going to run that special in a week?!

They did it to me on purpose obviously.. and of course they didn’t even want to give me a discount because they said I wasn’t with them that long, and then we’re back to the fact that yes I was with them years before that, but the records are lost apparently…  I don’t save my bills from that far back, maybe I should..

What other choice do I have though.. Verizon is the other option or maybe T-Mobile…  AT&T is the third company I’ve been with and it’s the first one that I can actually get a phone call in my house with, so that’s the main reason I’ve stuck with them this long…

I want the new AT&T Tilt2, but don’t want to pay $200 for it especially after the last time I dealt with them in getting a new phone..
