I'm for **** sure willing to try again if y'all are saying the dish is a good thing. Now, let me please ask another question, I have my internet through Comcast as well so...before I go down in a blaze of glory and piss them off to no end, what would be my best internet option if I decide to go completely Comcast free?


I called the Dish and Direct TV and was asking them about it... we went through entire packages and such... it got down to asking how I would pay the bill, told them directly from checking every month, without me having to worry about it...

EVERYTHING seemed cool until they asked for my Social Security number, which I told them I refused to give them that information... they could check records at the court house to see that I own the house/land... they would have my checking so they could get paid, but they were NOT getting my SS number because I didn't know them... lol. She said there was NO WAY they could hook me up without it... so I asked her for HER social, she stammered and stuttered and told me she didn't know me and wouldn't give it to me... I said, SEE???????

Point being, since that date, I have gotten about 30 calls from them telling me that I didn't have to give my social, and at least 15 pieces of mail giving me extra special offers good until Sept. ... I shall decide by then , lol..

My employer, although they have known my ss number for 28 years, quit using them a few years ago, privacy act DOES apply to SS numbers, so we have employee ID numbers... so if I only have to give my employee ID number out to prove employment, why do they insist they have to have the SS number, which is just TOO dangerous to give out these days.
