Ticket: # 4867547 - AT&T Direct TV

Date: 6/26/2021 8:54 PM

City/State/Zip: Palm Harbor, Florida 34684

Company Complaining About: AT&T

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

In June 2020 I signed up for a two year contract with direct TV to get a discount in the first year.

There was a penalty for early termination. One of the main reasons I signed up with Direct TV was so

that I would be assured of being able to watch ALL NFL football games during the season During the

fall of 2020 in the middle of the NFL season AT&T had a dispute with CBS network and CBS

discontinued allowing Direct TV to air their programming. For several months this dispute went on

and I was unable to wAtch programming on CBS that AT&T had agreed to provide. Around May 2021

I terminated their service because of this. I have paid for all of their services in full as of today and yet

they are still trying to collect the early termination fee even though they breached my contract for

failing to provide all the programming I was promised. Please help me before they put this

unwarranted bill on my credit as a bad debt They should not be allowed to charge an early

termination fee when they failed in their duty to provide ALL services. for early termination

world and if it were my obligation as a person to testify whats wrong here, then maybe I should.

Hollywood is incestuous relationship of bad tribes clans if you will all based on the principle of

strength in numbers. However, if your legion be great but stupid or retarded then any small army

could defeat you by brains planning alone strategically. The mafia rule over imports hiring firing

healthcare communications media is in fact shooting itself in the foot. By your actions you are

exposed as to what you are your agenda your treatise or CORE beliefs. If you believe drugs are good

or prostitution normal you will create a vegas for your system of beliefs. In old days XXX stores liquor

were for deviant or low class miscreants, now porn drugs sex billion dollar industry. Like as youth

sports were about teams comraderie skills and friendship building now its cut throat scholarships for

mafia kids. Thats why moms dads beat up faster brighter kids, jealousy like big brother is now big

bully stealing our lunch money or walking off with our bike or car or vacation or home or boat or wife

or husband or kids or friends. Your syztem caters to clans like nazis ashkenazis with no brain yet you

want strangers people not of your tribe or clan to give you our work labor thoughts ideas money

assets or inventions. If we the people arent of your brood and atent given benefits of the "club" why

should we the people praise you or vote for you or listen to you or pay you? Centuries ago real

americans saw this danger of mob rule and freedom encroachment and thefts of lands or resources

or assets and they took up arms to defend their property or land or families and in a sense they were

right. The KKK was right in a fact they saw what they didnt like or want and by encroachment or

eminent domain the slaves non desirables took over via murder via poisons via thefts or false witness

like fake judges or police screwing people with fake lies jailing innocent people or killing kids via drugs

abortion or poisons so broods of evil can copulate like the rabbit multiply and wipe out decades or

centuries of good breeding or IQ or hereditary traits that were admirable long ago. Interbreeding was

the idea that if you could stop incest or like genetics from multiplying you could create a better

healthier race of people - like wiping out inbreds was a good idea. So if inbreds were bad why is govt

allowing hordes of uk jew inbreds who are crazy like King George was to rule over sane people? Most

serial killers were insane via inbreeding bad families bad breeding or schooling or bad genetics,

uncivilized. Most diseases hemophilia shortness deafness blindness dwarfism autism isnt via

environment it is bad dna matches wheras the offspring suffers as a lroduct of bad dna mixes. If you

limit the mating dating pool you are in fact propogating an inbred society. When more men become

celibate like priests to travel or hate women secretly but love money adventure, or more men become

gay or bisexual or ladies choose lesbianism or celibacy it is because there isnt a desirable pool of

men or women to date or mate with. The survival instinct of family protection or attraction by nature

disappears. If I clone phermones to get a mate I get surgery to fool mate then I wipe out real pool of

mates by trickery deceit. Like schools if I cheat or sleep with teachers or sell drugs to appear rich my

chances to get college spot increase. If I copy tests and lie I beat real smart kids and I get spot on

teams or clubs or universities or NASA. If I lie and get in I am like diaper murderer lady who drove

300 miles in a diaper to kill my lovers spouse because I was retarded mental lady who couldnt handle

affair w married man. Like crazy psycho who murdered basketball players wife and baby, I would be

jealous killer, unstable demented spoiled vengeful a psychkiller. True talent lies within so if people go

to college why are businesses hiring non college educated or foreign over these people? I was

university grad high IQ my school did not help me at all. I learned myself to survive despite their

hatreds of whites european vs love of jews mentally retarded getting As simply because they had sex

with professor or dated football team or jews who cheated on exams and were sent to colleges to

strip escort get pregnant or entrap men. Old men at my campus yelled at frat guys to stay away from

women and to avoid harlots. Sundays liquor stores and restaurants were closed. These were

protestant businesses. Today campuses full of hazing death pregnancies abortions bad drop outs

drugs low iq teams frat houses sororities of mentally retarded. Its quite sad. If people pay for internet

or buy tvs or pay electricity are they not entitled to complain about whats on media? I wont read or

buy books from authors I detest nor will I pay money to movies or cable or internet to profit those I

despise mentally. I never use facebook or twitter or snap or insta or tik tok or youtube. Most ppl who

use media are attn seeking losers trying to get money. If I were rich - I am not, I wouldnt pay to see

Trump or Biden, they would have to pay to see me. Thats reality. Rich people dont go to rallies with

masses those masses are poor people you are lying to and stealing from. If I were educated which I

am I would never walk in a protest or follow Thurnberg. As aristocrat of the mind it would be beneath

my intelligence to walk around all day with strangers who have no life no money or no job or brains.

Pep rallies are like for a team - you must enjoy sports or enjoy the company or have stake in the

game. Most players today are spoiled mafia hacks playing with retarded. Most families of players

today are poor people that never graduate high school. They learned how to make money not how to

earn a living or be a decent human being. If your clans only allow your pay to play people entry to

bigtime why or how can you expect strangers who really worked their whole lives to patronize your

theatres or restaurants or businesses. I dont want flowers or starbucks or funeral packages or

insurance, I want to live and be treated right by all and if any loser infringes on my civil rights or

assets I want this elected govt to investigate it and fire impeach remove or jail every perpetrator.

Thats their job and thats the law of the land. If you govt delete files to protect your crooks you govt sb

removed by law and replaced byvthosecwith the will to do what is required to keep society at its best.

I dont like kkk or thuggery but I also dont like jew mafia criminals using religion to hide their crimes

and I dont like muslims coming here no money no brain acting like they are superior to me. I also

dont like foreigners coming here stealing everyday while I worked. I also dont like watching ugly

people on tv. If you are on media should you not at least look presentable or clean. Standards are so

low dopers are on olympics and amateurs yell at coaches. That lady who was told to leave was

probably a rude spoiled jewish lady primadonna. Pink doesnt have to pay nkrways fines, as a jew,

pink isnt norwegian nor can ahe pay her own bills. This is propoganda of jews acting like they can

pay or are rich when actually like Clooney if their gangs didnt steal cars like they

would be living in a cave toothless humping a pig. Crude but true. These fake aristocrats were poor

drug dealing prostitutes and as a degreed person I will never compliment a crook or liar or deviant.

They sb repenting and any govt who gives these uk cretans a school or lobby that govt sb fired.

reimbursed $64.99 on June 14, 2021. Since Fubo TV reimbursed me for just the 1 month, then it

stand the reason that they should reimburse me all of my money for all 8 months, since they cannot

Company Complaining About: Military Broadcast Radio

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I won an on-air, on the web, and facebook radio contest from Military Broadcast Radio (MBR)

managed and owned by Joel Hunt. The prizes I won for Best New Podcast Show were 1. A New DJ

PA System. 2. A $150 Amazon Gift Card. 3. Two Night Hyatt Denver Hotel Stay. 4. Signed NFL

Football by Peyton Manning and Brandon Stokely.

MBR had not made any attempt to award the prizes until I sent Joel Hunt a Demand Letter on August

21, 2021. After I had originally conceded July 5th to just settle for the $150 Amazon Gift Card since

Joel Hunt said to me "we are a non-profit and the donor dollars just have not been coming in'. Out of

sympathy I said the $150 Amazon Gift Card would suffice. He went on air on his show The H-Train

Show and solicited for funds to get equipment and raised $1000. Eight weeks passed after raising the

$1000 and no $150 Amazon Gift Card was received which prompted the demand letter.

I was a student at Colorado Media School so I reported the non-delivery of prizes to the school where

the MBR radio station has space. The schools Campus Director mediated a resolution on August 23

stating that MBR and Joel Hunt were to deliver by noon on August 27, 2021 the following; or be

evicted from the studio; 1. A New DJ PA System. 2. A $150 Amazon Gift Card. 3. The cash equivalent

of two nights stay at any Denver Hyatt Hotel put on a gift card. The football was not part of the

mediation.

I went to the Campus Directors office the afternoon of August 27 to pick up what MBR and Joel Hunt

had left for me in settlement and fulfillment of the mediation. What was left was 1. DJ PA System 2.

$200 Amazon Gift Card. No hotel cash equivalent gift card was left. The prizes even after mediation

were not all delivered. To this date August 30 I have not had word or received the prizes I won in this

contest back in June 2021.

On DJ remote broadcasts MBR puts out a donation contribution box and I noticed after each remote

all of the proceeds that were graciously donated are pocketed by and the DJ at the remote.

(b) (6)

I was offered the split of the contributions but I refused as that did not seem an appropriate use of

contributions. MBR has demonstrated improper use of contributions. I am a former intern with MBR

and was only let go on 8/26/2021 when I notified the Colorado Media School - MBR's lease holder. To

solve my problem now would take the cash equivalent of ALL 4 prizes be sent electronically as I am

moving from Colorado.

I’m writing to complain or seek action against the graphic, scary, horrifying commercials for movies, tv

Georgia Football is a tradition we love sharing and passing down to our small children but we spend

half the game frantically trying to find the remote every commercial break because the commercials

are way too scary. It is particularly bad as we get closer to Halloween and specifically right now there

are ads for the movie VENOM which show the monster completely and it is terrifying. Also ads for the

new Michael Myers Halloween movie and even ads for video games showing monsters or killing.

Please advise who I need to contact to request ratings for commercials and to request graphic

horrifying imagery in commercials not be present during daytime television programs that are family

oriented such as sports, specifically college football games and NFL daytime games as well . Thanks

for your help with this matter.

I'd like to file a complaint against Dish Network regarding their fee war with Tegna, which is holding

both years. This year, the battle is over our local ABC station, WQAD. I've tried calling Dish and

Tegna both and have only been met with recordings pointing fingers at the other company as the

blame for the possible loss of the channel. I've only stayed with Dish this long because of WQAD and

just signed a new, 2-year contract with them for service but this service is supposed to include all

local channels. I'd like to either keep the channel or terminate my contract with Dish without penalty of

having to pay an early termination fee. This has been going on three years in a row now and no one

wants to accept the responsibility for why it keeps happening.

Cable Box with 125 channels. A few days later Xfinity sent me an Internet Streaming box instead of

the unit I ordered. Since we don't have their rental modem we have a limit on our data, which is why

we ordered the Coax Cable Box. I contacted customer service and they said they were sending me a

Coax Cable Box. 2 days later I received another internet Box. 2 more attempts to try to talk to a

representative which they make very difficult, I received 5 more internet boxes. Over a month later I

still do not have the correct box, I have returned all of the boxes, though they have one pending

return because I included it in a box with another Internet Box. I am being charged exorbitant

amounts for all of these internet boxes, I cannot get an appointment with the local store, and I cannot

get any service. Meanwhile I still do not have the Coax Cable Box I ordered, we have exceeded our

data plan and are being charged. If we want to schedule a technician to bring the correct box then it

cost 100 dollars. Also I chatted with an agent who told me that I couldn't have a streaming box and a

Coax cable box in the same house. But gave no explanation why. I have honored my end of the

contract, Xfinity has not- and they almost never do but they stick consumers like me with exorbitant

charges for their mistakes. This is illegal but if for some reason its not, then it needs to be. There has

to be consumer protection for large corporations not fulfilling their part of the agreement. Also, I have

screenshots where Xfinity prevents consumers from contacting them. Currently I'm operating devices,

watching College Football, Xfinity.com is showing an outage in the area and I tried to speak to an

agent but the chat is disabled because even though I'm having no interrupted service, they won't help

you with an Outage in the area.

WOW! continues to have problems with sports channels not working properly. We pay a $10 "sports

surcharge" and many times the channels don't work properly.

On October 9, 2021 I started watching the college football game on Ch. 242 CBSSH. Approximately

three hours into the game the channel went black. I contacted WOW! and they are clueless as to

why or what to do.

Other sports channels are virtually unwatchable due to pixelation.

City/State/Zip: Waikoloa, Hawaii 96738

Company Complaining About: Spectrum

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I have been a customer for spectrum in Hawaii on the island of Hawaii. Spectrum bought out time

Warner cable, I have had their service since 2003. 2 years ago we were able to have the "red zone"

in our cable package and I had no problem with my WiFi service. I had 3 gigs for my WiFi and I was

paying 29.00 dollars for this 3 gig WiFi. The next season for football they decided to charge for the

red zone by putting it into a sports package which would cost more. So I called and asked about this

and was told the package would only be 5.00. Kool I had no problem with that but they told me that if I

ordered the package I had to upgrade my wifi which was a choice of 2 gigs for 70.00 dollars a month

or 4 gig which is 95.00 or so a month and my 3 gig was not available. So 5.00 went to 70- 90 dollars

more a month. I said screw this and left everything as it was for 17 yrs with my 3 gig wifi service. So

when football season started I dropped their cable service and went with YouTube tv but had to use

spectrum for WiFi because they are the only one to provide WiFi service in my area, and of course I

had to order either 2 or 4 gig because they said they didn't offer 3 gig, even though that is what I had

at the time, and if I didn't change service I would still have 3 gigs as long as I kept my service without

changing anything, but if I change anything I'm screwed so I ordered the 2 gig for 70.00 and for 70.00

I get to watch my bedroom tv's for about 10- 20 seconds then watch the little circle for 3-4 seconds

while they search for a signal. I called and they sent a tech out and they said the router was bad and

replaced it , STILL no better, I had told the tech about the problem and he said that they had no

control over the tv's and their signal set ups, b's, I had no problem with 3 gigs. This is how you treat a

customer for over 17 yrs, as soon as I can get another WiFi provider I will drop them like a bad habit,

this is wrong, i pay more for less and my problem is my smart tv's and not them, that sounds to me

like someone not taking responsibility for what they are selling you and in my opinon they should not

be allowed to have a licence to do this business. They get an F, unsatisfactory . FULL ON

AMERICAN GREED. Oh I called to talk to a manager and I can never get to the right manager, or I'm

on hold while they look for one for so long I just hang up.

Description

Watching NFL football on Fox between 4:30pm and 5pm EST between the NY Giants and the Dallas

Cowboys, at least two extremely violent commercials for the movie Halloween Kill were aired. The ad

shows ax wielding, blood spatter, stabbing and simulated beheading. I understand violent innuendo to

sell a horror movie but this ad is way too graphic to be aired before 9pm. I had to change the channel

so my young child wouldn't see more of the detailed violence. After the second Holloween Kill

commercial came on I turned off the TV. This needs to be looked into and stopped so parents don't

have to monitor every second their child is watching a nationally broadcast football game in the

middle of the afternoon for crying out loud. Solve this by not allowing these highly violent ads to be

aired before 9pm!

can be seen by young children. It lacks decency and consideration to any young child who may see it

while watching a football game. At minute 1:30 and 2:20 is where it is most prominently featured.

expectation when I turn on ESPN that I will not have to remove children from the room. ESPN could

have warned him of the rules for live television in advance, monitored his speech and conduct when

he was on the air, and removed him immediately after the first curse word was uttered. This is totally

unacceptable! ESPN must be sternly punished for violating FCC regulations. I am told this is not the

first time ESPN has allowed profanity to be aired during this program, so punishment must be severe.

Issuing an apology from Peyton is insufficient because it can't take back what my children heard from

Marshawn Lynch.

Description

Starting October 2nd, my internet service goes out EVERY Friday at 5pm before a home college

football game. When I call CenturyLink, they send a tech to my hours 4-5 days later to put it back on.

The techs never tell me what the issue was, but it was resolved. The second time it went out

completely was on October 29th and after the tech left without telling me the issue, I called

CenturyLink to find out what was the issue and was it finally resolved. The representative stated the

tech did not put int eh notes the issue but promised it would not happen again. The third time it went

out completely was November 13th. I asked to speak with a manager and nobody will call me back. I

even tried speaking with someone at CenturyLink through Facebook messenger. They too told me a

manager would call me but it never happened. I just got a message back saying it could take a

minimum of two days to get back with me. I look at the dates that it went out completely and they

corresponded with the home college games which are I the city limits and I live out in the county.

Those games should not permit me from have internet service until the following Wednesday. I think

it’s with looking into. Bad service and bad customer service.

then aborted the game back to Sling. When I restarted Sling, there was only 2:40 left in the 3rd

quarter. This is a pattern with football broadcasts. I think that because I am watching on the west

Description

CBS continues to delay and interrupt sports programming with an excessive number of commercials.

Each commercial break is almost as long or longer than the actual programming between breaks.

The nature of the broadcasting contract means CBS has the right to request delays or extend them

during the game. Furthermore, the broadcaster possesses a de facto monopoly over its choice of

game broadcast limiting consumer options and resulting in a consistently worse consumer

experience. The FCC must do something to limit the nuisance of CBS’s greed and interference.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

The harassment I've been experiencing from the people I know first started with continuous spoof

calls to my business with always had the person on the other line asking "Hey , have you ever

had your baby white washed?" then they'd laugh right after. Some of these calls were made with

spoofing the phone number to my shop and also spoofed my voice. Which was very disturbing, but

not as disturbing to find the Los Angeles County sheriff's allowing it to continue.

After about four years of that in 2013 the same group of terrorists came down to my business one

night that I was working late, I worked alone at the time, and lit my racecar on fire. I made a police

report and the sheriff's didn't do anything about it even after showing them the surveillance footage

and my eye witness statement.

These guys were hacking my phone calls and tracking down every one of my customers to bad

mouth me and tack them away and hacking into my social media accounts constantly to keep

themselves updated on everything I do and they were also creating posts through my account with

statements that made me look crazy, which benefited their plan of whatever it may be.

They GPS track me and look through my car when I go to stores because I leave the widows down

a lot of the times so I my dog can stay in the car.

In 2016 I went to the sheriff's Norwalk Dept. to report the 76 pages of terrorists threats made to me

on my Facebook stating they were going to do me physical harm and the first thing that came out of

the sheriff's mouth was, "Look, I don't care about no car fire, okay!"... I replied, "Although it's the same

group, it's not about the car fire."

I ended up being set as the target victim in a vehicle to vehicle collision which sure seems like the

sheriff's were involved with because only someone of authority can demand an ambulance driver to

ignore the three hospitals that they passed on the 40 minute drive in traffic without the sirens on. The

ambulance lights were off as they were transporting me. He was just taking him time, being part of

the traffic. There's a lot that can prove the sheriff's involvement and it will take way too much of my

time to state it all, but I will state the finding I made on my Facebook account about three years after

the car accident. I was going through my old posts when I found a post that I didn't make which was

dated three months before my car accident which said something along the lines of my plan to

"sprain" or "tear a ligament". I'm a mechanic, at the point before the car accident, the only experience

I have with ligaments was when I tore the inner ligament to my knee playing football in high school. I

didn't know ligaments existed anywhere else on the body until after the car accident.

I believe Electronic Harassment is being used on real people like ransomware is done on

computers by marketing anti-harassment gadgets which can be made to seem needing to be updated

by stopping the harassment then turning it back up a few months down the line. It's done through the

cell phone. It can make women tell their kids to take off their seat belts minutes before driving the

minivan into a tree, make others paranoid and so on. The effects vary depending on how the

harassment is implemented.

My company's name is . The ones that were being allowed to harass me are

I have closely monitored WRBL, Channel 3 TV, Columbus, GA,s tower broadcast strength with two

separate types of home TV antennas - for both the Auburn/Alabama 27 Nov and the

local tower broadcasting power during key college football games to discourage free TV viewing of

games. Oddly enough, WRBL undistorted picture quality was restored immediately on 4 Dec for the

presentation of the SEC trophy ceremonies (a tell-tell sign of their deliberate game-time

manipulation!) This activity has been going on with WBRL before, but this is the first time I have

reported it. Is this lawful, or nor? If not, it is certainly unethical!

I subscribe to ESPN+ on a monthly basis each year to watch FCS football from September to

December. I cancelled my account on Nov 15, 2021 & received a confirmation email stating

“Cancellation will be effective at the end of your current billing period on Dec 12, 2021.” I printed &

saved a PDF file of this confirmation as proof of the cancellation, something I do for all of my

accounts. I logged into my ESPN+ account to watch the Montana State vs James Madison football

game at 7:30 PM CST on Sat, Dec 11 & was presented with the new subscription screen. I called the

ESPN+ support number 800-727-1800 at 7:54 PM CST & was told I could expect an email within 3-5

minutes. I didn’t receive an email, so I called again at 8:28 PM CST & was told I would receive an

email & a phone call within 3-5 minutes. After no email or call, I called again & was told I don’t have

an active subscription even after I read the confirmation with the Dec 12 date.

Even if we give ESPN+ the benefit of the doubt on Dec 12, my account should have remained active

until midnight on Dec 11. It appears that ESPN+ subscriptions do not honor the actual dates. Instead,

they appear to end prior to Saturday, which is the biggest day for sporting events. They actually

expected me to pay for another monthly subscription, so I could watch events on Sat, Dec 11 that

actually fell within my cancellation deadline of Dec 12. This is obviously a clever ploy to capture more

revenue & 9 out of 10 consumers wouldn’t even notice it. How many millions of dollars have they

made from this scam?

It’s menial, but I want a full refund of my service for Nov 13 to Dec 12 as a symbol that this egregious

behavior won’t be tolerated.

Company Complaining About: Suddenlink

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I am a current customer with Suddenlink Internet. I have a monthly data cap of 150Gb. My wife and I

are 60+ years old. We do not Game (like the young kids), we just use the internet for paying bills and

searching the internet and maybe watching a movie at the end of the night. My normal data usage on

a normal day is about 2-3 gb and that is if we watch a movie. For the past 3 days we have not

watched a movie (instead we watched a football game, etc. on regular antenna tv) Suddenlink said

we used 9.5,7.2,and 10 gb of service. Beings we are on a data cap, we are allowed 5GB each day for

the month or occur overage fees. I have spoke with them on the phone and in person and no one can

tell me what we did to use 6-7gb of data for those days. At the end of November we had 4 days that it

showed 0 data usage, when we were home and were using the internet just like normal. I am trying to

get copies of my daily data usage to file this complaint, but no one can give me that information. My

complaint is if you are falsifying my data usage to get me to pay more for a different plan it is not

going to work. I can't even get last months data usage from them. I would like my data cap remove if

you can't provide me with my records and how you calculate them. Thank you

had a segment where they showed a mother gun down along with her partner on a football field. Her

son, a minor, was shown crying over her while she was laying on a pool of blood. All this was shown

and not even a warning was given. I don't understand how american news have to give their audience

plenty of warnings and basically show you nothing but Univision can show these things.

Here I sit, another Sunday afternoon watching a football game. The Steelers kick the ball for a field

goal and the screen goes black. When the screen comeback, the Steelers are kicking off to the

Titans. In the middle of a play the screen hangs or goes dark.

It was so bad last weekend during the Titan's game, I called support. After complaining, there was

not a blackout the remainder of the game.

This blacking out the screen or the screen hanging happens two to three times and hour. It's

frustrating, when something interesting is happening and the screen goes dark. Please fix this AT&T.

When watching NFL and college football there are quick flashes of light and station logo right before

hundreds of these flashes, and they are totally unnecessary. I believe this to be a health issue.

account not to give me any special pricing. I don't think I was meant to find that out. Now I'm really

mad I can't get Channel 11 to watch the football game. They told me if I wanted it they would have to

charge me more for it . It was part of my package when I signed up. They said NO channels are

guaranteed and they can drop channels at any time and I have to pay the same price. What the heck.

I decided to drop them then altogether and they want to charge me 200.00 to do that. When I spoke

to them they said they would send me the part of the contract saying they could drop channels

anytime and I still had to pay same price. I never seen that part of the contact to show my lawyer.

PLEASE BE AWEARE NOT TO EVERY GO WITH DISH. THEY ARE OUT TO TAKE YOUR MONEY.

City/State/Zip: Pompano Beach, Florida 33062

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I trust the FCC shares my family’s disgust over the National Football League’s glorification of

MURDER on national television.

It is a violation of federal law to air obscene programming at any time. The offending programming

occurred during the halftime entertainment portion of the National Football League’s recent

Superbowl prime time event, broadcast February 13, 2022 by NBC to 112,300,000 viewers.

It is outrageous that the Federal Communication Commission would permit the broadcast of this filth,

this excrement, this rot, these fetid obscenities to unsuspecting television viewers, including children.

This is not entertainment. This is incitement to hatred and crime.

Please DO something about it. It is a humiliation.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

We have been with DirecTV for a while now and they were running (and still run) a special where you

can get your HBO Max fee waived if you have an Unlimited plan on a wireless device, which we do

and have had all these years. They were fine for a while but now charge us for this monthly. We have

been in contact with them multiple times and have gotten 2 credits and then get charged again. This

is infuriating. Additionally we were informed (by postcard) prior to Sept 1, 2020 that if we wanted to

discontinue NFL Sunday Ticket, we had to make a call and remove that from our account before 9-1-

2020 or else we would be charged the full amount and could not cancel in the middle of the football

season. We called and cancelled. Unfortunately on their system I could only go back to billing from 1-

18-2021, but you will see 3 months worth of credits of $48.99 + taxes because each month we had to

call and each time they'd tell us we would be getting a credit and not give a credit. They would say, ok

go ahead and pay now and we'll give a credit on the next billing cycle. This is the same practice that

has happened with the HBO Max charge. We have contacted them on numerous occasions with little

to no assistance. I am sure they are probably doing this to other customers as well. I saved and

highlighted the bills from 1-18-2021 to present and included the advertisement.

It seems that about every two or three months, WLUK's signal degrades significantly. Typically, their

this close to football season, many are beginning to speculate that they are trying to push us into

paying for cable or satellite. Further, they admit that broadcasting on the VHF band provides inferior

service, but they never seem to adopt *that* seemingly sensible upgrade.

Description

I previously had service at . I called to move my service to my new address. Before

moving I spoke with an agent. The customer service agent assured me that cable and internet was

"all set up at the new address" I just needed to move my current wi-fi androuter and box over to the

new address. That same day I moved the cable box and equipment to the new address and tried to

start wi-fi and cable. It did not work. I called Xfinity back and was told "I don't know why the previous

agent told you that. You need a technician to come out." I was then told that the technician visit was

going to cost $100 and there was no availability until at least a week later. During the time of waiting

for a technician, Xfinity billed me for service that was not active. On the day of the service call a

technician came out and after about an hour said they he could not get cable wired in the living room,

nor the den. He said he could only get it wired in one bedroom. I told him this was unacceptable

solution. First of all we were only setting up one cable box. There is no way that the entire family is

going to crowed into one person's bedroom to watch tv. Also, when we have guest over to watch

football or whatever- again, we are not going to crowd into a bedroom. The agent then said that we

would need to go into a Xfinity store and get a different wireless box and then we could have access

in the living room. So a few days later I went into a store for this box and was told "I don't know why

the tech told you that, those boxes have to be shipped." So I waited another week for the box to

arrive. The box arrived and I tried to activated it so cable can be watched in the living room and it did

not work. I called Xfinity and they tried to trouble shoot and it still did not work. I was told that I need

to set up another tech visit, which will cost $100 again. This is ridiculous. I never had serve at the new

address. I have been charged for over a month of service. Xfinity refuses to credit the account even

though they know I have not had service. I have been given the run around. Currently there is a

disconnection notice, but this includes being illegally charged for service that is not working. I have

spent over five hours trying to get this resolved on the phone.

Amazon recently added a feature for Thursday Night Football to enable Prime members to be able to

record. The problem is that it is not optional. If you are a Prime member it records all the games for

you even if you hate football. This is to prop up the ratings amongst Prime members to pretend

people are watching even when they are not. I hate football and there is no way to remove this

feature. I've attached a page from Amazon to show I am not the only person with this issue.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Dish has recently removed ESPN, Game Show Network, Disney Channel, and several other

networks from it's service. They say they are having a contract dispute with these networks.

They say it's the networks fault, when in truth, Dish is lying, and it's Dish's fault why these networks

are no longer on their service. Dish will not and refuses to come to an agreement to restrore these

networks. They say it's because these network are raising their prices. In truth, Dish is not allowing

these networks on because they are a bunch of greedy, irrational, manipulative, psychopaths that

have a fetish for scamming their customers out of their favorite channels.

And what's worse, they decided to remove ESPN's channels during college football season. They

claim they care about their customers when the reality is they don't they just want to brainwash them

and manipulate them by lying to them, irrationally taking their channels away, starting petty fights with

channel providers, scamming them, bullying them, and taking people's money away. Dish has

developed a very bad reputation and it has now gotten worse with them removing the ESPN

Networks right in the middle of college football season. And what's worse, they're too lazy and too

snobby to get off of their greedy narcissistic rear ends, and come to an agreement to restore these

channels.

They act like total idiots. I honestly hope people will get together and take a stand against these

corrupt psychopaths at Dish. Their greed, selfishness, and corrupt acts of pure bullying and tyranny

against it's customers needs to stop. Because if they don't stop this nonsense, they are gonna lose

more and more customers fast.

They need to loosen it's draconian limits on channel providers and stop with the stupid carriage

disputes. It's making people mad.

another line because it's too expensive to run a new line to our home. We have also been told that

the feed from the outside hub to our home is well below the required megahertz required by the FCC.

We have exhausted all our resources and have spent countless dollars with Cox trying to fix the

problem. Today, we were streaming a football game and our TV lost internet connection 11 times in

City/State/Zip: Garland, Texas 75043

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

During a commercial break during halftime of the Dallas Cowboy vs Washington Commander football

game on 10/2/2022, a commercial was aired by “It Could Have Been Worse, LLC” that used vulgar

language. My family (wife and 4 children 6 years and younger) were watching when this commercial

aired. It started in typical, political commercial fashion stating why Paxton and Abbott and another

individual should not be voted for in the coming elections. They based the commercial on events that

happened during “The Freeze” of 2021. But the commercial crossed the line whenever it stated that

these men “still had not fixed the damn grid.”

It served no purpose. Because of the tone of the commercial, the commercial drew in attention more

than most. With my 4 kids locked in, they used the word damn to describe an opinion (the grid not

being fixed) that cannot be stated as fact (Texas has few blackouts compared to other states -

relatively their statement was false) and used vulgar language to describe the opinion.

It was obscene, unneeded, and only purpose is to try to enrage the public against the current public

leaders. This type messaging should not be allowed on over-the-air broadcasts during the middle of

the day (approximately 1:30pm) during a NFL football game that naturally draws in an audience with

many children.

This occurred on Fox, station 4.1, on 10/2/2022, at approximately 1:30pm.

Hello, I would like to let you know that Highland High School located at 39055 25th St W, Palmdale,

CA 93551 may be violating Section 302(b) of The Communications Act of 1934. As soon as you walk

anywhere inside the school or even if you are on-campus outside the school the bars go down to one

or two, no matter what mobile carrier students and staff are using the reception is either poor or drops

completely. Also here's a little personal story of mine that happened back in August, I was sick and

my mom told me to call her if I felt worse so I tried calling my mom, and no reception, I was like alright

not a big problem I'll go to the nurse's office and tell them to call home for me, after I was done filing

the report then the nurse said "alright call your mom so she could pick you up" I told her if she could

call for me because I can't get reception then she told me "our school phones can't get reception so I

recommend you to try again or go outside by the parking lot" I went outside and tried and nothing until

eventually someone was able to call for me. It was completely ridiculous because it took about an

hour and a half for someone that was finally able to call. I don't know what the school is possibly

using that not even there own calls can go thorugh. I'm also really confused because they put a new

cell tower in the football field during the summer now they have a total of two cell towers in the

football field lights poll. I really think something is up here and something should be done because

this also should cause for concern of saftey. I will provide much more information at your request.

receive the service I paid for. I tried to contact Sling on social media; but they would not discuss the

issue with me. I wasn't able to find other contact information on their website to try to work out the

On September 29, 2022, the consumer, , wanted to watch a football game Cincinnati

Vs. Miami. He has Xfinity.

He found out that the NFL game was not shown on Cable and he was redirected to watch it on

Amazon instead. Amazon offered a free trial, and the consumer decided to go with the free trial

because he wanted to watch the football game. However, the consumer states that he struggled to

access the program due to being asked for a barcode/encrypted number. Then the consumer was

asked for an amazon account login information, which the consumer doesn't have. The consumer

states that he went in circles, and this process made it very difficult for the consumer to watch the

football game.

The consumer states that it felt like an entrapment type of agreement between cable and amazon,

where the consumer is forced to make an amazon account just to watch the football game, when it

should have been shown on cable. The consumer states that he pays for cable, and the football

game should have been shown on cable, not on Amazon. The consumer states that he did call Xfinity,

and they told the consumer that many people are upset about this situation.

The consumer states that he wanted to file a complaint to prevent this from happening again.

Night. This preview features several violent scenes involving Santa Claus. I have young children in

my home who I do not believe should be shown frightening imagery like this. This preview should not

be aired during major sporting events during a time when very young children are awake and

watching.

Company Complaining About: Directv

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I am filing this complaint to follow up with my original complaint. After hearing from DirecTV I was

wholly unsatisfied with their response. For the woman from the presidents office of directv to tell me "I

will do my best to get your services hooked up to" sounds no different than the 6-7 other people I

spoke with at directv. Not only did I have four canceled appointments but the day after the last

canceled appointment I get a call telling me they had to cancel my appointment for that day. In other

words my fourth scheduled appointment was set up on two different days. One according to the

installers and one according to directv. I asked directv to waive their 2 year agreement they wanted

me to sign for good reason. One is the fact that I had wasted more than 18 hours between waiting for

installation that never happened and calling to rectify the issues and arranging to have someone at

my home for the 4 missed appointments. Directv felt I should settle for having another appointment

set up to connect service (which they could not guarantee) and to me this left me in a far worse

situation than I started in. There would have to be some sort of compensation for all of the hours upon

hours of my time wasted and for the outrageousness of the situation in whole. I was also told by the

woman from the presidents office of directv that I had decided to cancel the installation. True,

however that was only after four missed appointments and her not being able to guarantee I would

get service and their unwillingness to compensate me for all the trouble they had caused. Another

huge point to this is, directv is holding the NFL ticket hostage. You cannot get it any other way and I

cannot get directv. How is this fair? Why would it be ok for them to prevent me from seeing the

football games I want to see? Why is it ok for them to request me to sign a 2 year contract with a

company that has displayed such absolute unreliability? How big of a fool would I be to do that? The

number of complaints about this company is out of control. They should not get away with treating

people like this and having the only avenue to the NFL ticket. Please do something about them.

airing on ESPN2. Out of the blue I hear my child say “fuckin” which made me rub my eyes and make

sure I was not dreaming. I go to him and ask where he heard that word from and he point to the TV

and says “that guy said it”. I was certain he was lying because there’s no way that a DISNEY

company would be airing SWEAR WORDS on their network! I rewind the TV and start listening and

my heart absolutely sunk. There it was. “Fuckin”. I am absolutely expecting the network to pay a

HEAFTY fine for this violation. If I do not hear back within 7 business days I WILL be very upset.

For over a month I have tried to get direct tv installed at our rural home. After 2 scheduled

in our area. We are in a rural area about an hour to the closest “big” city, an no other services have

had this issue. I feel at this point we as a community are being discriminated against by direct tv. Dish

network services the community out here without issue, however dish network has offered a good

price and my husband being a football fan the nfl Sunday ticket was a great incentive to switch. I

spent 1.5 hours on the phone over 2 weeks ago to reschedule for today and yet again there seems to

be not one technician available to even drive that hour to install our services. We were charged a fee

for setting an appointment and all I get as far as answers are they will send someone when someone

comes available. At what point is this discrimination, and if this is not the route to take, who should I

contact for fair treatment from this company?

Unfortunately, due to the spotty, unavailable, and unreliable service, I was unable to access my

tickets to enter the game. I tried for HOURS to access my tickets to never gain access. I was very

disappointed and so were my children. As a result of your service, I lost out on valuable memories

with my children, friends, family, and colleagues and money. In addition, I had another child that was

going to his senior homecoming dance and he was unable to contact me. He ended up needed more

money that I had previously given him and could not reach me. He had to call another family member

to send him money and I most definitely didn't appreciate not being able to be there for my child! I

was in a situation where I would not have been able to call anyone, or vice versa, if there had been

an emergency and that does not sit well in my spirit. I would like my $155.85 refunded for the 3 tickets

UIL just replied:

Thanks for reaching out about this. We have contacted the NFHS Network asking for more

information and they got back to us today saying,

“I’m glad this family has had a good experience watching Friday night football on the Network and I

understand there’s one missing piece of closed caption for some fans.

From the FCC, closed captioning rules only apply for internet broadcasts if the video programming

was shown on TV in the U.S. with captions.”

We understand your concerns and would suggest petitioning the NFHS Network to work to add this

feature in the future.

Can you confirm that this is allowable not to show CCs?

Description

I am watchin g WTTV 4.1 and it's NFL Footbal, Indianpolis Colts vs. New England patriots, and sadly

a variety of malicious camera men are implanting dog whistles. They did this with the Georgia vs.

Tennessee game broadcast yesterday, and the Indiana University vs. Penn state game broadcast

yesterday. This is a part of a decades long series of crimes. These are the people involved in a

decades long series of criminal conspiracies that trace back to the 1980's when a group of malicious

terrorists wanted to engage in identity fraud, theft, and enable decades of crime, intellectual property

theft, and normalize their violent crimes and terrorism. These violent predators are involved in the

attacks on 9/11/01 and even mockingly taunted that was their goal, to be able to re-create the war

crime photos of the past without having to ever be in harm's way. They included people who stalked

people who looked like others to kill multiples of the same "type" of person in the 1980's onward and

were also known to kill people to reward others. They were violent predators and normalized a lot of

murder, identity fraud, and identity theft. They had threatened to engage in a variety of terrorist

attacks, and include some people who were Unix people, and they had engaged in identity fraud and

theft through e-mail fraud and theft, and had engaged in decades of crime openly. This extends from

the late 1980's and includes how I was kidnapped as a child and beat into a disability as a child

hostage.

They had actually killed off a lot of people from the late 1980's onward in Indiana, and in 2000-2002

they engaged in a lot of destabilizing attacks and crime to disrupt and replace people, but also reduce

the amount of people who were competitive in athletics as a part of long term scam to implant

criminals in as enforcers in a kick back scheme in college athletics. This was a part of a larger

criminal corruption and pay to play scheme, and why people enabled terrorists and gang members to

hide openly in athletics and engage in selling things and engaging in crime at athletics events and

would keep them off camera. That's how I was attacked at stadiums I was a hostage at in the 1990's

and 2000's.

is longer than that. We also lose service sometimes in the evenings. Last night about 7pm, we lost

service for a while. This is very concerning, whether it interrupts a Zoom call during the morning or

means we can’t watch a football game. I don’t feel like Optimum has done anything to address my

problems other than sending out opinionated service techs, each of whom insists that there is a

different problem—faulty wiring, non-Optimum modem/router, etc. Well the wiring has been

addressed and I’m now making a monthly payment to Optimum for one of your routers, even though I

have a perfectly good Motorola modem/router sitting here on my desk. It is frustrating to pay an

egregious price for service that is not reliable. It seems to me that the least you can do is stop

charging me until the problem is resolved. That would at least apply some pressure to address it.

online and also on FB. I asked that they reconsider playing this mature-oriented content after children

are likely not watching. I DO NOT want to have to be concerned by watching the commercials in

order to quickly turn the channel because somehow, someone thinks that this sort of content can be

played during family-oriented hours. Is it unreasonable to ask for some discernment on these choices,

regardless of motivating influences behind these decisions? Is common decency still common?

Date: 11/26/2022 1:50 PM

City/State/Zip: Dayton, Ohio 45440

Company Complaining About: AT&T

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I just watched an AT&T commercial that to me is very offensive. It was showing a wedding where the

minister asked if any objections and someone in the audience yelled “he’s short. He’s too short”. The

punchline was the the woman was watching a football game on her phone and the player was short

on a play. As a short man I find that unacceptable. It may not seem as extreme, but what if the person

instead would have shouted “he’s too black”. Just like the color of one’s skin, a person can’t change

how tall they are. For this reason I just want to express my concern how something that may seem

humorous can be very hurtful for those that have stereotypes placed on them for things they can’t

change.

I’m not sure if this is the right avenue to submit my frustration, so if not please either forward this to

the appropriate department or let me know how to go about that if possible.

Thanks for your help and understanding.

#..and it continues – today 11 26 2022 – College football all sports broadcast venues (ESPN-1 & 2,

FOX, FOX-FS1, ABC) allowing (or intentionally) setting background ambient noise (crowds, music,

etc.) at volumes greater than game announcers or commentators. The result, persons with “average”

hearing capability, cannot process the commentation – the brain must work constantly to decipher a

word here and there – it must be frightfully difficult for anyone having to use a prosthetic hearing

Company Complaining About: Centurylink

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

CenturyLink has suffered a disruption in internet service in West Des Moines, Iowa for nearly a week

as of this writing, with no end in sight. Customers and business have been provided with essentially

no information about this massive outage. Instead, the only information that CenturyLink has provided

are service restoral estimates that have been shown to be dramatically false. Like Lucy pulling the

football from Charlie Brown at the last minute, CenturyLink's attempt to lead its customers along by

falsely promising that service would be restored imminently have decieved customers into *not*

taking action to mitigate against what appears to be a long-term loss of service, at great cost and

inconvenience. Certainly accidents happen and companies make mistakes and cannot guarantee

service 100% of the time. However, utilities like CenturyLink who advertise their reliability to

consumers must be required to be honest with their customers when incidents occur that result in a

week or more of no internet service, so those customers can take action to obtain internet service

from other providers.

I am contacting you again 2 months after my original complaint (complaint # ). Mission

Broadcasting is claiming that Fox has pulled access to the channel and Directv is claiming that

Mission pulled access to the channel. At time of my original complaint the network notice gave

Mission Broadcasting's name but they have now removed it and I can only surmise that Mission was

telling the truth so they didn't want to show the name and have us know that Directv was the liar. All of

that has caused us to miss the World Series and now NFL football as well as all other programming.

What is God's name does it take to get someone to stop this and return the programming we are

PAYING for! Any help you could provide will be greatly appreciated.

Many of NBC's commercials during NFL football broadcasts use high intensity, frequent flashing,

which I find inappropriate and inconsiderate of photo sensitive viewers.

NBC specifically airs one commercial for for America's Got Talent, which aired exactly on January 15

at 9:08pm, which contains frequent, flashing cuts that I find visually unpleasant, add zero substance

to the advertisement, and, I have concerns that the flashing nature of the commercial creates an

unnecessary risk for people who may suffer from epileptic seizures.

I wrote to NBC to address this but feel the FCC's involvement may help create a tougher internal

approval process to prevent such cheap, risky commercials airing when I am watching football.

CBC elected to broadcast a sideline celebration by number 20, Eli Apple, on the Bengals team. This

celebration was clearly sexual in nature in which the player mimics a sexual act. The dance is

popularly known as "The Booty Slap". He added some flourishes that made it even more

inappropriate. CBS continued to show this celebration for about 10 seconds. The producers should

have immediately recognized this celebration dance as inappropriate and switched to a different

camera. They could have shown the fans, the teams on the field or even an infographic. CBS should

be fined and the NFL should fine this player.

When someone moved the TV tower from York to Harrisburg for Fox channel 43 with an antenna, we

are unable to watch this channel anymore. We are able to pull in channels 8, 21, 27 which are NBC,

Description

My internet was disconnected on Christmas Eve in error, after I paid the bill. I keep being told it will be

turned back on within 24 hours. It has been over a month. Two technicians came out.

on January 6th and at a later date. They both confirmed that it was in sync. The order to

remotely turn it on was not created. A ticket was finally done and later canceled because they said

they could not confirm my address. I have lived here 24 years. Another ticket was created but no

order created. I spoke to in the Philippines that said that the previous representatives had lied to

me and the ticket and order numbers they gave me were just something they made up to get me off

the phone but he would fix it. He set me up with a service I did not request. After I got a notification

that I needed to spend $99 for connection. I called and was told he was in fact was the one that lied

and the order was canceled. The correct order was created but still not completed because they said

they put in the wrong customer code. Yesterday I was told the order was "stuck" Today, I spent 4

hours on the phone, transferred and tossed around like a football. I spoke with a supervisor in the

loyalty department who said that it was connected. He transferred me to technical support. I spoke to

a hateful woman her ID is . She said she needed to send another technician out. I called back

to make a complaint about her treatment of me and the next person in the the loyalty department

spoke with the back office and they said the order needs to go through two systems in technical

support, transferred again. I spoke with who said the order was pending. No, I did not need to

have a technician out and he canceled the service visit. How can it show connected and pending at

the same time? He had no idea what two systems the previous gentleman was talking about and said

his supervisor would call me in 10 minutes. He did not, and now they are closed for the day.

Description

We only watch tv for football games, so we are just picking up broadcast stations. I have a good

antenna in the attic and we get plenty of stations. On some weekends we get very strong RF

interference that knocks out the picture and comes thru the audio as bursts of static in a chaotic

pattern that is almost like Morse code, but not quite. If I turn off the tv and instead just have the stereo

amplifier on it still comes thru the speakers. It typically goes for 20 minutes or so then stops for a

while. The way it starts and stops makes me think it might be an arc welder hobbyist in my immediate

neighborhood. Does that sound like a feasible origin for the interference?

Description

I’ve been with dish network for a good amount of time. Sometime around the first of the year, Dish

blocked Fox network. On Fox screen Dish said to call your local Fox station and tell them to pay what

Dish was demanding to resume the broadcasting. I called my local Fox station and they told me that

their hands were tied that it is a corporate decision and Fox wasn’t going to pay. She also said that it

wasn’t just Dish but also Direct TV doing the same thing. I feel that Dish is screwing over their

customers to help them get a higher rate. This is not the first time that Dish has done this. Twice with

the superbowl and 3 times with the college football playoff. I was going to cancel Dish and go with

Direct TV. They are now playing the same game with their customers. I live in the country and can’t

get cable so we are out of luck. I feel that Dish needs to fire their CEO and hire someone who is a

better negotiator. But the customer shouldn’t be the loser during the process. Any help that you can

provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

the vulgarity of Rihanna's display on stage, touching her crotch and sniffing her finger is

DISGUSTING! I personally am SICK AND TIRED of being FORCED - yes FORCED to watch this on

the very programs we try to get away from the bullshit in this world. Watching football is supposed to

a FAMILY event where we should have the FREEDOM to watch a show without sexual content or

vulgarity or SATANISM involved. GET SOME STRICTER LAWS OUT THERE! I could care a less

what they do in private or at their concerts where people PAY to see THEM. But as a consumer, I'm

not interested in their unholy, ungodly satanic rituals during a program that is SUPPOSED to be

family friendly and/or an awards show to celebrate the success of people. NOT a PORN show! I pay

good money for the tv shows I watch and this is NOT what I want to see. If I want to see that crap, I'll

buy a ticket to their concert. And that is something I did not agree to nor spend my hard earned

I would like to file an indecency complaint regarding the NFL Superbowl halftime show. The NFL

Super Bowl is on a publically available channel on TV that is accessible free on antennas. Therefore,

I feel as though the content should be at a level consistent with rated G or PG. When I watched the

superbowl halftime show with my family of teenagers, even THEY were horrified at what they were

watching - a pregnant lady "digging in her butt" then sniffing her fingers, then groping herself and

grabbing her crotch while the cameras zoomed in--I couldn't even turn the channel fast enough! It left

my teenagers speechless when she started grabbing her vagina and appearing to fondle herself. It

was completely unnecessary as part of the performance and indecent. Nobody wants to see this

trash. This is a football game primarily. On publically available TV I should not have to even worry

about such things! Keep it classy on public tv please! Or assign it the rating it should have been with

a warning "MA"!!!! So parents have time to change the channel! I think my teenagers reaction says it

all though--it doesn't belong.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

The halftime show performance by Rihanna was indecent and not appropriate. It is a crime to expose

children to sexual content i.e. physicality and language, and therefore a clear warning should have

been given in reading and by the show hosts prior to the performance so that parents could remove

their children (which they shouldn't have to do anyway, participating in the American tradition and

culture of enjoying football). Several song verses contained adult-themes, sexual content, sexually

suggestive behavior, and strong sexual overtones. The dancing choreography contained heavy

sexuality and sends the message to underage viewers that it is normal to behave that way publicly.

The damage goes deeper into the minds of children who absorb information through what they see

adults doing to determine what is normal and what is not, and for them to hear and see content

(without proper warning) that is clearly only meant for people over age 18 is inappropriate for a show

that is part of an American football family tradition and supposed to represent American values and

depict the core of American entertainment. I am sick of seeing Superbowl halftime shows like the one

by Rihanna that perpetuate negative/inappropriate/vulgar language that the rest of society, especially

parents, are working so hard to combat and overcome and protect our children from. This is a sad

dereliction of traditional American culture and does not represent the type or standard of

entertainment that is enjoyable and meaningful for all generations who support the NFL and the

American football tradition. I am shocked and disappointed that there aren't higher standards for

hosted performances coming from such an influential and relevant TV network. Do better now. The

Superbowl half-time show should comprise a family-appropriate, relevant, and entertaining

performance that is appreciated and enjoyed by ALL generations of Americans, while also offering a

Pay-per-view show for those who are over age 18 to consume. There is not a good American parent

anywhere who would approve or appreciate their children being unexpectedly exposed to and

participating in the normalization of commonplace/public sexual behavior or the idolatry of singers

who showcase sexualized behavior on the national stage when sexual harrassment, innapropriate

sexual conduct, and public indecency are all things regular people can get cited by the police for.

There's no place for satanic worship and over sexualized dancing durring a broadcast of a football

you allow them to get away with. Every year we voice our complaints and it falls on deaf ears.

Nothing Is ever done about it. The female singer literally grabbed her crotch and the proceeded to

smell her fingers. If this was HBO it would be understandable but this is public television duering the

half time of a sporting event that's supposed to be for the whole family. It's disgusting. And Sam

smiths performance was obviously a satanic ritual. It's bs and something actually needs done about it.

Not a warning letter but fines for the NFL and fox for millions of dollars so they'll think twice about

broadcasting this bs. 30 years ago you couldn't show a married couple sleeping in the same bed.

Someone(FCC and the BBB) has to police the dark web chambers of commerce… Title XXXlll The

Regulation of Trade, Commerce, Investment, and Solicitation… Chapter 501.171 Consumer

Protection-------

On Thursday, April 2023 I had a television delivered from Walmart. I installed it in the Livingroom,

putting the old one in the bedroom. What should have been a simple task became an inexhaustible

circus ride on a merry-go-round and round.

The reason I’m reporting this to you as a crime of extortion and racketeering is that it is under Florida

Racketeering / RICO Law…Florida Statutes Title XLVI. § 895.03

Where the criminal act of state and federal extortion comes into play is by them hijacking accounts

connected to my Google accounts, trafficking my old G-mail message altering the date and time to

the present day, and making those messages appear as urgent needing me to pay money right away,

holding service that I had already paid hostage for days on end. But yet after a year of paying for

protection, an undermining message from T-Mobile appeared at the same time saying finally my

McAfee protection service is working.

This is considered extortion and racketeering by the use of telecommunication devices which is a

criminal act at the highest level.

This unlawful collaborative pattern has happened before in 2021 and 2022 it was the day before

College football season kicked off. Weeks prior I had received an email ESPN was going up on their

rates by a few dollars by my next bill cycle; which was ok.

This time it is the NBA playoff that's the bait. Last month I received an email that YouTube TV was

going up on their rates by a few dollars by my next bill cycle; which was ok.

I notice that this was going to be a continued nonverbal pattern yet an antagonistic tactic of extortion

coercively used to force me into not only giving more money for the same service but they’re phishing

using the same dishonest patterns to lure me over to other offers such as upgrading my services,

purchase Higher Speed Internet, Data protection, and Ruko devices. Then there is the irresistible 7-

30 -90-day discount on Apple TV, Sling, HBO, Showtime, etc…

Their greed for money and racketeering is omnipresent.

Someone(FCC and the BBB) has to police the racketeering influence of corruption organizations in

the dark web chambers of commerce.

It’s been 3 days and I’m still on the merry-go-round and around after serval attempts and several

phone call my old devices and television is still not working. I prayed these people did not damage my

property.

However, I continued seeing Walmart commercials advertising television and Ruko device.

Company Complaining About: Dish Network

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

My DISH service was interrupted because it was 40 days past due (I had resigned from a position

and my last check was NOT what I expected so had not paid it yet). I think it is egregious that they

charge $15 to extend your payment so since they disconnected it after I had been a long-term

customer, I told them I'd just cancel the service.

I was told I would have to pay $20 per return box to send them their equipment back. Keep in mind --

I have a customer for about 8-9 years; have they NOT updated their equipment since then? I told the

rep, Camille, that was ridiculous. She said my original agreement stated that. Again -- 8-9 years ago.

AND she also said that my agreement had expired so I was not under a current agreement.

Therefore, I don't think I should have to pay the $20 per box to send their mediocre equipment back.

Additionally, they are in violation because they did not continue to uphold the same programming as

agreed upon on THEIR end. We have not had WSB-TV for MONTHS (probably a year at this point)

and were never able to watch college football games that we wanted to either, even when we were

supposed to have the channel. Their value greatly decreased along with their service.

I am not going to pay to send their old, outdated equipment back. They have breached their contract

by not keeping LOCAL programming, which is all we wanted to be able to have anyway. The fact they

are trying to charge for that is ridiculous and excessive!

Dear U.S. FCC:

You may not have been aware. There are Asians in a organ donation or edit reserach police group

looking to transform the human race of the United States , by the UN Human Rights Universal

Discrimination Laws , that conflict with the U.S. Human Right Laws to protect humans from

discrimination ny State and Federal Laws. I believe , the immigrants Asia, Haiti, and Spanish are

upset. The immigrants human rights are only from State Laws in U.S. There are no federal

immigration human rights under the constitution.

The aliens are only suppose to live as a visitor. The Asian women in military must be upset. Only

immigration State Laws don't make them feel human.

The State Human Right Laws must be different State fir the Police travelers from Asia. And, I am

concerned a new edit to change the human life happiness is to eliminate the U.S. citizens federal

human right protections as stated in 5th Amendment and 14th Amendment laws. My name was used

under the Barak Obama adminstration. In an edit research that broadcasted a false statement , to

make me the author of a statement written or typed on a computer by an Asian , to another person

computer. Maybe Spanish? At a State Department, in New York, Queens or Brooklyn.

However, if Asian and Spanish and Haitian State Representative has access to the statement

attached to my name with Barak Obama in tbe Central Database System. However, it was

mentioned to me. I even told the Brooklyn Courts , i never write a statenent on the internet or on any

technology equipment. Paper. Etc. It is not traced from my location or property's.

Still the Asian won't update their notes from the satellite tracing and Dell Computer database and

government database computers. I do not have a government property in my home to wrote a

statement to kill a President or his family members. The Asian write the statement.

And, they must fantasize about killing a oresident or Barak Obama , because the statement is

profitable and the wealthiest men including the sports athletes get injuries from Asian oriental : China

, Korea, Japanand Indian peoole and Haiti, and Puetro Rican , Mexicans. It might be a social edit

research experiments for more federal human rights. But, it's really human crultey. Tbe women won't

stop.

Everyday, they broadcast to the sports men false statements from Houston, Texas and claim it's lie.

When someone wants to report the State Police steals from my happiness with a hoax on the

citizens. I am a political commentary. This us a violation of my free speexh snd might violate

plagarism laws to benefit from a statement i saud or they said vy anyone to claim any rewards to kill a

President. And because the sports men joined in to participate to cause me injury and financial loss. I

want them to be arrested.

It is a crime for police to broadcast a false statements and to cause me injury in the United States or

abroad. The U.S. Secretary Blinken needs to be prosecuted for not giving the other State

Department's the updates. It was Asia wrote the statement on government properties to kill Barak

Obama famimy members, not any Black African American citizen unknown to him.

I really need this matter investigated. Jalen Hurts in football field , in Philadelphia. Maybe , he saw

the Asia India or Haitians Police . They may have asked him for money to restrict my human rights

with my boyfriend. Then, fi d out if they Muslim , or Dr. Researches looking for human edits. We

don't need any false edits in our human race. Those people need to practice more mental health

medicine and receive a better education. Imperialism and organized crimes with everything is related

to Asians is a federal offense in the United States. How much stock shares does Asia own ? The US

needs to buy most of US Stock shares. This government business had nothing to with the United

States citizens on a government computer.

Your truly,

Company Complaining About: Spectrum

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Roughly a year ago I moved apartments and in the process had to transfer my service. At the time I

went through the whole pitch you get every time to add a bunch of services you don't want, in this

case specifically it was television. The guy on the phone told me I qualified for some credit and that

actually it'd be cheaper. I figured I'd have to go through the pain of cancelling it down the road, but it's

hard to turn down free (especially as college football is starting).

Fastforward a year and every single day Spectrum sends me an e-mail spam to renew my ACP

Credit. I follow their link and there is no way in any world I'd ever qualify for this credit. I made

$69,000.00 last year, $55,000.00 the year before, and the only other person who lived with me at that

time was my girlfriend. On top of that, they never took any income information from me, although I

think I remember them taking my social security number. I don't know if this was an overzealous call

line or what.

Anyway on top of that, even if I did qualify for the credit, I think an e-mail literally every day is a bit

excessive. I'm not even exagerrating, every weekday I got an e-mail from spectrum telling me to

reapply for the ACP Credit (and suspect I will continue receiving these emails for sometime since I

won't be renewing). In addition, the match with it and the sale push (e.g. oh you get a credit so we

can upgrade your internet and sign you up for TV) combined with how much of a pain it is to remove

services from Spectrum gives me at least some suspicion that this was intentional.

Description

Spectrum suspended service on all Disney owned channels on Thursday night, August 31 at 7pm

including ESPN. There was no previous warning sent to me as a current customer about this. Service

was suspended on these channels around 7pm, mere minutes before the first Thursday televised

SEC football game of the season. It is my belief this was done intentionally to use the anger of their

customer base as leverage to cut a better deal with Disney. After suspending service, Spectrum

provided a contact for Disney, encouraging customers to contact and place all blame on them. I feel

as though services I already paid for were taken from me by Spectrum to aid them in a business deal

at a particular time they knew would anger their customers. As noted above, I did not know this would

happen until minutes before the game started.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Consumers are unable to access Sports Channels through local Satellite provider Spectrum in

Alabama in which Customers have paid for on a monthly basis and have 2 year contract with

SpSpectrum Network to receive ESPN and SEC Network which provides College football coverage to

viewers. Disney which owns 86% of the ESPN Company has not followed the terms of their contract

with local cable Satellite providers such as Spectrum. Disney has disrupted cable TV / Satellite

Services to views who have a binding and legal contract with local cable companies to view ESPN

and SEC Sports Channels. Disney Company has created a monopoly against the public interest and

does not allow for competition which increases unreasonable rates for the public. Disney had failed to

justify price increases for consumers and local Cable / Satellite providers. Disney Company as a

monopoly has failed to negotiate with in good faith with Spectrum TV to ensure Services to the public.

By being a monopoly the Disney Company has engaged in price gauging practices. This practice

raises prices for consumers and has disrupted TV Services for the public and violated the public trust.

Consumers must be compensated for lost services by Disney Company through local Cable/ Satellite

providers. Services must be restored to public for which they are under contract for with

communication providers. The FCC which regulates Cable must break up Disney’s monopoly which

is unfair to competition and has unnecessary disrupted services for the public good. Disney

Company has placed unreasonable contract demands that has caused local cable / Satellite

providers to loose their ability to provide essential TV services to consumers and Communities. The

Disney Company and Spectrum TV must be made to negotiate their contract in good faith for the

good of public interest. Further more College Universities in Which their Football 🏈 Games were not

allowed to be aired due to disruptions caused by Disney should be compensated to recover revenue

due to their loss of viewers. We respectfully ask the FC.C to break up the monopoly of Disney and

fine them for disrupting services to consumers and violating the public trust. Mandate this matter be

resolved in a timely manner to protect the public interest and review how Disney negotiates contracts.

The FCC must regulate Cable and Satellite Television to protect the public from unlawful harm.

I am tired that the customer is always the one to be impacted by these huge corporations wanting

more money from the public. All we see everyday is people having their hand out wanting more

money with the customer not having enough to give. So what do they do, they stop the service as

punishment. When will the FCC step up and take control of these issues and stop having the

customer impacted? Disney is making profit with their streaming service (Disney +, Hulu, Verizon,

ESPN +, etc.) why do they need to impact consumers of cable service. We are always the ponds and

used to get what these rich corporate business men/women want. Please put a stop to this. This is

not right to consumer and we should not be impacted by GREED!!! Also, they do this right when

football season starts. I see this as a strategic plan by Disney to force Spectrum to give in to the

greed.

Company Complaining About: Spectrum

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

As I am sure the FCC has become well aware, multiple TV channels went dark last evening for

millions of Spectrum/Charter customers at approximately 5:00PM, Thursday, August 31. Clearly, the

timing of this multiple channel blackout by Disney was deliberate, so as to impact the viewing of both

the US Tennis Open and the Univ of Florida vs. Univ of Utah football game; millions of consumers

would clearly be tuned in at that precise moment. Moreover, in addition to Disney-owned ESPN and

their entertainment cable channels that went dark, ABC -- also owned by Disney -- went dark, as well.

Last night, it happened to be broadcasting the Florida vs. Utah football game, but ABC is a major TV

network, usually airing news at that hour. It is a staple of the television broadcasting industry!

Every month, I and millions of other Americans faithfully pay their cable and internet bill, yet here we

all sit, pawns in a corporate carriage fee war between Spectrum/Charter, the 2nd largest cable

provider in the country, and Disney, one of the largest, most recognizable corporate names in the US

and worldwide. The FCC needs to intervene. This cannot go on indefinitely as it sets a dangerous

precedent. Although I realize these disputes have occurred in the past, enough! Essentially,

consumers are the ones being held hostage in this situation, but will nonetheless be expected to

continue paying their full monthly bill, even while receiving fewer channels than their existing cable

plans promise. Surely, there is a mandate here for the FCC to take immediate action on the part of

American consumers caught up in this corporate warfare.

local channels with an antenna and am not able to stream on the Internet because I live in a rural

area. Antenna TV is not an option for me. I am very angry and I pay almost $200 a month for

television services and I cannot even watch our local news stations. The FCC is supposed to

regulate these companies and when we sign a contract with our satellite providers, they should

provide these services, and should not be held hostage to unreasonable demands. They are only

offering a $20 credit, but can offer no guarantee that service will be restored any time soon.

Description

Hello. We are four days away from the beginning of the 2023 NFL season, and we have just begun

college football season. The Nexstar dispute still has not been resolved.

We are still missing our Fox station, WGHP-TV Fox 8.

Now, I had heard somewhere that back in ye olden days of DIRECTV, a dispute of this nature would

lead to $20 off the bill each month for the length of the dispute and all the premium movie channels

free to all customers for six months. However, on their website, DIRECTV suggests that affected

customers either buy an OTA antenna or subscribe to a streaming service. This allows them to, in

effect, drag their feet in the negotiations.

They are the largest television station owner in the United States and they have decided not to play

ball with DIRECTV anymore. Now, we haven't had Fox 8 (WGHP-TV, Greensboro, NC) for well over a

month. Just because they are the largest station owner doesn't mean they can just demand more

money. That's tantamount to bullying. Now, I called DIRECTV just like they said on the screen, and

the satellite company assured me they wanted to keep Nexstar stations. They're gone now.

The solution seems to be to reach out to the FCC. I would like you to please settle the dispute

between these two. Neither seems to be budging. To hold users' local television stations hostage in

order to make even more profits is disgusting and abhorrent behavior that should be regulated by the

FCC. Nobody should be allowed to have a stranglehold on local news and information, especially

during football season.

central time with no prior notice and at the beginning of football season. I do believe this was

intentional and is the fault of Spectrum and The Walt Disney Company , both Spectrum and Disney

need a thorough investigation into their involvement and wrongdoing to customers. The channels

blacked out are espn channels and several others all owned by Disney! This is not right, Spectrum

had just raised our rates again too! So we are paying more now for the same channels we were

getting and nothing new added, but paying more. We had to speak with 3 spectrum reps on two days

concerning the rate increase and there was no mention about the channels or blackout coming! This

seems to be criminal behavior, paying for services and channels you are not receiving, after

spectrum just raised the rates. Spectrum and Disney needs an investigation and accountability !

Additionally, we want these channels back we are paying for with no further rate increase and

reimbursed for all the days all these channels have been blacked out. There is no excuse to treat

customers this way, we have no access to these channels currently. Thousands of Spectrum/ Charter

customers being done wrong. I do also believe those of us living in the south were targeted as well,

Ladies and Gentlemen: It's been5 days (and the holiday weekend) since the Disney Co./Charter

Cable Co. dispute hit the TV Screens of Spectrum/Charter customers when Disney pulled their many

TV channels from Charter. 15 million TV screens went dark when watching an opening season

football kick-off on ESPN at 5:08 pm 8/31/23, as did their 18-20 other channels. We could not - and

cannot - watch the U.S. Tennis Open, many college football fall season games, many other sports,

and even ABC/7 news! This is the background and current situation. But I am writing you because I

cannot understand how the ownership of so many TV stations nationwide, controlled by Disney Co.

and affects so much of the televised sports world has been allowed!!! This seems to be a perfect

example of an anti-trust-type of control. I will be interested to know what can be done about such a

"conglomerate company" like Disney to be allowed to buy up so many TV channels then control so

many different types of sports....and now affecting millions of paying customers who are not able to

access these programs. How did this happen...why was it allowed? Something smells really bad

here, and I believe this unfortunate "fight" between 2 companies should be looked into...not because

of their disagreement, but because Disney Co. controls so much of our TV viewing. I look forward to

your reply, and if there are others I need to contact, please inform me of them. Thank you so very

much for your concern.

Company Complaining About: Spectrum

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Spectrum TV did not notify customers of the cancellation of Disney affiliated channels (specifically

ESPN) until start time for a college football game on September 1st.

They claim to be a non-prorated subscription service, therefore my cancellation of all services (tv,

internet, home phone) effective Sept 8, 2023 does not end their view of my payment obligation to

them. They offered a $15 statement credit which does not do anything for the lack of access to these

channels for the entire month of Sept.

our bill per the statement will be +$6 more than it has been all summer.

The supervisor I spoke with to request they do not charge my credit card in late September as I was

cancelling effective immediately said they couldn’t pro-rate or stop the charges even though I will not

be using their services.

He claimed they did not learn about Disney’s freeze on services for Spectrum’s line-up until the links

were stopped on the first day of college football season. BUT his next statement to me was that

“Disney had kept pushing the date for the lockout to a future date until last week when they stopped

the feeds. This proves prior knowledge of the disruption in service by Disney. and This information

nor a backup plan to enable customers to view the same programming via an alternate venue was

never communicated to their customers.

A $15 credit for lack of access to the main channel my husband watches for college football does not

compare to a $6+ rate hike (making their credit only $9 and change) for a month of service I’m no

longer subscribed to.

When I became a Spectrum customer, they charged me my 1st month of service fees the day I

signed up and charged me subsequently at the beginning of each month. Applying that method of

payment procedure, I’ve already paid for the services of September in advance.

I did not request a refund of past charges. I asked that they not charge me for future services they

say will be due & charged on October 3rd.

I also pointed out a big inconvenience to their tv service during lightning storms. If our power blinks on

then off, the cable box performs an auto reboot. It takes approx 30 minutes to perform this process. It

did that with the older equipment and still does it with the new and supposedly improved equipment

they provide clients earlier this year. If the power blinks 2 minutes after the reboot has finished

recycling, it does it all again.

The customer retention supervisor I was speaking with said he showed no reports of service

problems from me. What doesn’t show but happens is, they had a subcontractor out checking lines in

my area a few months ago. I spoke with him and mentioned the problem with the extended reboot

time. He told me his does that too. I had intended to report the problem, but knowing a customer who

contracts with them for repairs had the same problem made me think it was a standard problem for

everyone.

As I said, I’m not disputing the charge for services that I received through September 3. I am

disputing Spectrum’s right to charge me for a full month of service on October 3 when, after their $15

refund, I’m being charged $9 a day for 30 days while using only 5 days of service.

They informed me they do not pro-rate their services, yet they pre charged me a full month’s services

when I joined them.

My husband is not well. He loves college football. His health keeps us from attending games anymore

so the Disney shutdown was very disheartening. If we’d had advanced notice we could have

prepared. I’ve spent this week looking for services that met our needs while not costing as much as

our monthly Spectrum bill.

Spectrum has taught me not to put all my eggs in one basket. Never again will I bundle tv, internet,

and home phone services and I will NEVER partake of Spectrum’s services.

Please note that the customer service agents and the supervisor I dealt with were all very courteous

and knowledgeable.

This is a complaint about service practices used by one of the largest telecommunications an tv

corporations not being forthright with their customers and when called out on it, expect the customer

to pay premium $$$ for their lack of service.

That’s wrong and shouldn’t be allowed to remain standard operating practice.

I do not watch TV so I normally do not have cable service. I do, however, enjoy watching football so

about a week ago I called up Spectrum and had ESPN and a slew of other (what I later discovered

were) Disney channels to my service. The very day that I added these additional channels (I

specifically and individually chose 12-15 channels that I had picked from a list on Spectrum's website

and agreed to pay extra for them) I discovered that Spectum is currently locked in a dispute with

Disney and that Spectrum no longer carries the main channels which I had chosen (again, it's

currently football season, so ESPN and other sports networks were the driving force behind me

expanding my tv service)! Spectrum is selling (and I assume that at the end of the month they will bill

me ...) for service that they KNEW AT THE TIME OF SALE that they cannot provide. I would like to

file a complaint to get Spectrum to STOP selling service that they CANNOT provide and to get them

to NOT bill for services which they are unable to provide. Selling and/or billing service that you

KNOW you cannot provide is simply unacceptable. I'm sure when my bill comes due there will be

charges on it for services NOT delivered. Please help! I have tried to call Spectrum about this but all

I get is a message that "due to increased call volume regarding our dispute with Disney we cannot

take calls now" then the line hangs up! Totally unacceptable! Please do something to prevent this

knowing and willful offering of services that this company knows, at the time of "sale", cannot be

I'm an LSU fan living in Austin, TX. The current Disney/Spectrum dispute is causing me to miss the

LSU football game. There is also lots of other content that we are missing, but not being able to

watch the game is really pissing me off. I get that these companies have to negotiate to set the terms

of a new deal, but they shouldn't be able punish their paying customers in the process.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Spectrum is trying to represent its constituency by challenging providers, in this case Disney who are

attempting to raise program pricing astronomical to Spectrum and thus to customers. Although we

appreciate Spectrums efforts, their communication updates are virtually non existent and as all of us

are working harder than ever, having fewer sport and entertainment options when we have down time

is frustrating and in this situation was done in a very calculated and quite despicable manner having

channels go dark prior to the first weekend of college football, US Open Finals and various other

events, now including the first NFL weekend. I personally hold both parties responsible and believe

that these differences should be and can reconciled by folks that are in business and who depend on

a loyal customer base which is now eroding quickly for all involved. I straight talk fix it, this should

have never come to this and shame on both parties for disappointing their customers. In sales, that’s

never a good thing. Do the right thing please.

As I am sure you are aware, football games are on for all ages to enjoy and are often a family event

exorcist and inappropriate shows that mention adult content such as sex to play during a family event

like a football game. I have tried to just distract my children when these commercials come on but I

am so mad that this is allowed. People of all ages should NOT be subjected to horror film trailers. If

someone wants to see that movie it's fine with me but I should not have to watch the creepy trailer for

it while I am trying to watch a football game with my family. Do a better job of censorship for family

events. This trailer played during the 12 game today. In the middle of the day. This is ridiculous and

completely unnecessary. This is not an isolated event, it happens all the time, at all times of the day.

back on 9/11 to talk to someone about this. It's been an all day ordeal. The last person I spoke to was

" who said a supervisor would call me back within the hour. As I was questioning an

order that was pending that I didn't order. He said they closed at 10pm. I called them at a little after

9pm and they were closed. Again this is more lies from DirecTV. In the order there was an antenna,

OTA antenna, OTA local channel connector, and genie. The only thing I was aware of was an

antenna. The rest of the items were never discussed or authorized to be shipped, accepted, or

anything. I was told that I had to connect the antenna to their genie because it was my responsibility. I

that any company like u-tube or Amazon can out bid other company's for the rights to show game in

thier decided areas or markets, but it is not fair to people like me who for the first time ever have not

been able to view my team for several reasons but mostly because of cost and it sickens and

saddens me greatly! I feel that there should be some kind of "ACT" like the right to watch a sports

game on TV ACT or something along those line. I feel that when each baseball player or football

player is not only competing to win but also who can get the biggest contract, its completely out of

control and I feel that a small percentage of Player contracts and a small percentage of the NFL and

team owners that basicall pay thier team players through advertising income and sales, if they all paid

a small percentage to go to a fund to support people like me " very low income" WHERE DOES IT

END! all my life I was able to afford to watch my favorite pastime and no longer can because of greed

I live in Los Fresnos, TX and have lived in the Rio Grande Valley area which only offer local CBS

programming. During football season I purchase streaming TV services which usually cost upwards

Houston Texans. For years now my local station has chosen to not air their games and instead air

games with other teams that have a far smaller fan base in my area and in the state of Texas period.

This is a very unfair and biased choice of TV programming by my local CBS station. The only way to

by pass this is to purchase NFL pass which is almost $400 and I can’t afford that. Is there anyway

that some one can contact my local CBS station and let them know that they will actually get a lot

more viewers tuning in if they are the team that actually has a large fan base in the Rio Grande

downright disturbing mostly in the form of Horror Movie Previews. They have been allowed to play

during primetime events like NFL football games, primetime TV shows that are rated PG or lower and

sometimes actual shows that are kids shows. To give you a specific example, I just watched the

Dallas Cowboys vs. NY Jets football game on Sunday 9/17 on CBS. At the end of the game a

commercial for the "The Exorcist" new movie played. It was truly scary and disturbing and my 8 year

old son who was watching the game with me was visibly shaken and now I'm hoping he doesn't have

any nightmares. As a parent, I want to know if my complaint is worthy of discussion.

advertise their films. However, the violent & disturbing imagery that airs routinely in September &

October during football games is too much. There are children watching. Parents should be given a

warning before disturbing imagery is shown.

I was watching Sunday afternoon football with my 6 year old grandson and a commercial for an

Exorcist movie came on while he was watching. He was so scared that he doesn’t ever want to watch

football again because he’s afraid the commercial will come back on. Those kinds of commercials

should not be allow on TV until late ate night when adults are awake, not during a late afternoon

football game where families watch together.

children were watching the daytime football game and were terrified. This happened also during

family-appropriate television breaks earlier during daytime hours last week with a preview for another

horror movie. While they may be "approved" for not having language or nudity, they are terrifying for

both adults and children, and my kids are saying they will have nightmares as a result of a simple

movie preview. This is NOT ok during daytime TV of a sports event where families are watching. I

understand they are marketing a film, but this should not be shown during family viewing hours.

children out of the room quickly as the trailer was not appropriate for children. I'm 35 years old and

would prefer I'd never seen the trailer myself as it is terrifying and demonic. Definitely not appropriate

for Sunday Night Football which is considered family time to many. I find the trailer inappropriate for

cable television all together.

I hope I have the right medium here for my concern….

I have a great concern about horror movie ads on tv without any warning.

This evening we were watching tv as a family with my 8 and 11 year old girls when during ads an ad

for some exorcist movie came on (really scary!!!).

As Halloween is coming close I know this is going to happen more and more and I dread it as it is

terrifying for children and even me as an adult. These ads even come on during the day, for example

when my husband is watching Football, they just pop up on the screen. Often we cannot find the

remote fast enough to change it. I think it is uncalled for to have such frightening ads on tv, much

worse during hours that children watch. I would like to suggest that scary ads should be aired only

late in the evening, say after 10pm. And/Or scary ads should be preceded by a warning for its

content.

I truly hope my concern will be taken seriously as I would like to minimize the trauma not only for my

own kids, but I know this affect other children as well.

Btw, in the form I am asked to specify the tv channel, time etc. Which I will indicate, however this is a

concern that spans many tv channels at any time of day

Also, we live in Jamaica, but the tv is predominantly American channels, which is why I am bringing

my concern here

Hello FCC and operator staff, I have an Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max that has been locked to AT&T. The

IMEI of the device is , and there are no economic or service disputes with AT&T.

Due to device operator restrictions, it cannot use SIM cards other than AT&T. In order to ensure that

my phone can be used normally abroad, I started searching for ways to unlock it. But I encountered

an error when submitting an unlock request on the AT&T official unlock portal, Error displayed as 'The

IMEI you entered does not match an AT&T device', and I am unable to unlock this iPhone using this

method. Therefore, I began to seek help from AT&T customer service. However, this gave me a bad

experience, and AT&T customer service seemed to kick me around like a ball. At first, I contacted the

website's online customer service, but they only repeatedly asked me to submit an unlock request to

the portal website. When I requested further assistance They kicked me to the technical department,

who checked and informed me that they encountered technical issues and were unable to unlock this

device. They asked me to contact Apple to request unlocking of this device. After I contacted Apple

support, they found it incredible, Apple supports clearly informing me that the current activation policy

information for this device is 'US AT&T Activation Policy'.The unlocking work should and can only be

completed by AT&T. Apple is not the operator who locks this device, nor does it have the authority to

unlock the device. They believe that AT&T kicked me to Apple is unreasonable and difficult to

understand. After receiving a response from Apple, I contacted AT&T customer service again, and the

answer I received made me even more angry. The service representative of AT&T not only did not

actively help me solve the problem, but also asked me to give the Trade in of this device to AT&T and

let me work on it Buy a new device. I am simply unreasonable about this. Unable to unlock the device

is a problem with AT&T, why do I have to pay extra to purchase a new phone. After reviewing CTIA's

policy on device unlocking released in 2014, I believe I am fully qualified to request AT&T's assistance

in unlocking this device. But AT&T just kicked me like a ball. This makes me extremely angry!

My request is that AT&T should stop playing football and unlock my device as soon as possible.

I hope the FCC can help me negotiate with AT&T and help me solve this problem as soon as

possible!

Best wishes.

Dear Federal Communications Commission,

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding a recent incident on the NFL Network's program,

"Good Morning Football" on the morning of September 22nd, 2023 at around 10:15 AM EST. During a

recent broadcast, the term "Bastard" was used by a host, Kyle Brandt, and unfortunately, my child

was present and watching at the time. As a parent, I believe it is crucial to maintain a level of

appropriateness in televised content, especially during times when children may be tuning in.

I understand the importance of freedom of expression, but it is equally imperative to ensure that

content is suitable for all audiences. I kindly request that the FCC investigate this incident and take

appropriate action to prevent such occurrences in the future. Your diligence in addressing this matter

would be greatly appreciated, as it would help maintain the integrity of public broadcasting standards.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing about the steps taken to

are not at school or daycare on Sunday afternoons and often watch football with their families. As a

For two consecutive weeks, my 6 and 4 year old daughters were exposed to horrific tv series trailers

of the new Exorcist TV Series while watching National Football League games. Specifically, at the

trailer aired and exposed my children to horrifying scenes of graphic and disturbing images of a

possessed young child.

My daughters broke into significant mental distress, screaming and covering their eyes and ears.

They awoke screaming with terrified screams of nightmares from the ‘scary monster girl’ on tv.

I am member an Officer in the Army National Guard. I am not remotely the type of person to ever

raise a complaint. But these trailers are absolutely unacceptable to air on national television before

8pm. The network should not be allowed to continue to air these trailers and they should be ashamed

of themselves to even think this is a remotely acceptable ad to air.

If the ads continue and my children are continuously inadvertently exposed to them, I will be

contacting my lawyer to seek retribution for their mental distress.

Description

Dear Federal Communications Commission,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction and concern

regarding a highly inappropriate advertisement that aired during the Sunday Night Football game on

NBC. This incident involved my family, including my 8-year-old daughter, and has left us both shocked

and disappointed.

While enjoying the game between the Raiders and the Steelers, my family and I were subjected to a

disturbing and explicit advertisement for a movie sequel to "The Exorcist." This advertisement

contained horrifying imagery and scenes that were entirely unsuitable for a family audience,

especially during a live sporting event.

My 8-year-old daughter was traumatized by the content of this advertisement and had difficulty falling

asleep that night due to the disturbing images she witnessed. As parents, we rely on broadcasters to

adhere to certain standards and guidelines, particularly during family-oriented programming. It is both

alarming and deeply disappointing that NBC allowed such a distressing and inappropriate commercial

to air without any warning or regard for the potential impact on young viewers.

I urge the Federal Communications Commission to take immediate action against this blatant

violation of decency standards. I implore you to investigate this matter thoroughly and hold NBC

accountable for their failure to exercise proper judgment in allowing this advertisement to be

broadcast during a family-oriented time slot.

I believe it is crucial for the FCC to send a clear message that such content is unacceptable and

should not be aired during live sporting events or any programming that may be viewed by children.

Strong measures should be taken to ensure that broadcasters exercise greater caution and

responsibility in the future.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a swift and decisive response. Our family and

countless others should not have to endure such distressing and inappropriate content while enjoying

a sports event on television.

Thank you for your commitment to upholding broadcasting standards and protecting the well-being of

viewers, especially children.

Sincerely,

excited about watching football, have to be subjective to and hear this filth in the middle of the day!

Neither ABC or Jessie Palmer acknowledge or apologized to the audience. He owed the audience

and especially the young kids watching an apology. This is disgusting that Disney/ABC (a FAMILY

channel) allows this on daytime tv. Disney/ESPN allows Pat McAfee to Curse everyday for two hours

when talking about sports (including the "F" word), so we cant let our boys watch ESPN anymore

either - AND its bleeding into their other shows. Nothing is off limits and this is too much! This is a

Sunday, September 24 during the games that played from approximately 1:05 pm until 4:00 pm,

Pacific Time. The game was aired by CBS and we watched it on KIRO.

This has happened in past football seasons. I typically have to watch the game with remote in hand

so I can quickly change during inappropriate commercials. This time I made the tragic mistake of

using the bathroom during a commercial break and we are into our third night of nightmares as a

I have been watching Amazon Prime's Thursday Night Football broadcast and have noticed the

commercials are FAR more loud than the in-game audio levels. In fact at a reasonable entertainment

level the game is almost inaudible to me. To hear it I must turn up the volume significantly which

makes the difference in loudness between the program and commercials mare more stark. If I forget

to turn down the volume if I get up to, say, use the restroom the commercials can be heard booming

Cox removed all of my emails about a month and a half to 2 months ago. When we originally

contacted them they said they had a glitch on their end and never fear the emails would be restored

in 1 to 2 days. They still are not restored and now cox is denying they did this.

We had emails from deceased relatives that obviously can’t be replaced, bills that we never saw that

we now owe late fees on which they should pay, tickets for a football game that we can’t recover.

On 9/30/23 my family including my kids 5 and 7 were watching the Kentucky Florida football game on

ESPN. During a commercial break around 9:35,

give or take 10 minutes, a commercial came on for a preview of The Excorcist movie. The scenes in

the preview were scary and the things being said were inappropriate including the word hell. It was

scary and traumatizing. This movie is rated R. Why in the world is this being shown on family

programming and during the day?! This should be illegal and banned. If a program is rated R it should

not be shown on family programming. PERIOD. Now I have to console my children and hope they

don't have nightmares or issues from this.

Description

A trailer for the movie The Excorcist, which is an R rated movie intended to scare and horrify adults,

was shown during a commercial break of a college football game in the middle of the afternoon.

Children are watching these games and should not be exposed to these horrifying, demonic images.

Even when monitoring children’s TV consumption closely, one cannot prevent them from seeing these

clips from an R rated movie if it comes on unexpectedly during the day and during a family friendly

sports program.

Announcers are prohibited from using curse words but then these much worse and potential scarring

images are shown. Showing R rated trailers during the day should also be prohibited.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I hope you are well. I feel the need to share an experience that I had today while watching an

afternoon football game. I had the afternoon Georgia vs Auburn football game on in the background

of my living room and was just casually watching while decorating the house for the changing season.

During this football game (that again, started in the afternoon), between 6:30 and 6:40 a commercial

for The Exorcist:Believer came on with visually disturbing images that I am shocked would be

considered appropriate or permissible without warning or during daytime television. I personally have

zero interest in seeing these images, but I would like you to know that while watching a football game

with my seven year old, the moment commercials hit and these images came on the TV he instantly

started crying and screaming and repeatedly saying "that's too scary, that's too scary, that's too

scary."

I do hold the network showing this football game responsible and no longer consider them to be a

reliably family network. With that said, I am curious, does the FCC have a say on what ad content is

permitted during what time of day? If so, I would suggest that something was missed when

evaluating this particular advertisement. I honestly thought to e-mail about this ad the first time I saw

it on later nighttime television, but for it to come on during the day and in the middle of a sporting

event that could be viewed by all ages is something I find unacceptable.

I do wish that you will consider families and children when granting advertising permissions especially

during programs that are likely to be viewed by audiences of all or any ages.

I also reached out to the network.

Regards,

Hi, I’m really not one to complain nor file a formal complaint. But “if you see something, you should

say something.” During Sunday Night Football before 10 pm, the Exorcist: Believers movie trailer

played. Immediately, the trailer began with frightening images of a little girl who looked tormented,

crying “I don’t want to go to hell.” There was zero warning or disclaimer provided before this was

aired. I’m not sure how many times it has been aired before or since. However, with little children

around frequently, especially since we are in both football season and Halloween season, I strongly

think there needs to be a required disclaimer before trailers such as the one aired is played,

especially before 10 pm. Thank you for hearing this.

Description

Ive been a regular attendee of football games in my hometown, Fair grove, MO. At each game, Fair

Grove starts off the lineup intro with an Emergency broadcast signal played over the loudspeaker with

the recording: "this is not a test".

The concern is playing an emergency broadcast tone over a PA system loud enough to be heard

across the better part of town followed by the message "this is not a test". Obviously, as distasteful as

this is, this abuse of the emergency broadcast tone hasn't caused any widespread in town yet, but it

very well may cause citizen "alarm fatigue" where false signals doles sensitivity to real, life saving

warnings.

In any scenario, it is my understanding the FCC prohibits the use of EAS/WEA tones and attention

signals outside of genuine alerts, tests, or authorized public service announcement particularly when

they are use to "Capture audience attention during advertisements including dramatic, entertainment

and educational programs".

I would ask the FCC to take proper action to end this nonsense and protect the integrity of the

Emergency broadcast system.

we later discovered one of our local channels has been deleted as well from our cable subscription

(no notice) but this channel carries local football games. We are in our 80's; can't afford to pay out

more just to get some programs we like and have been watching for at least five+ years with our

since it carries our local Ravens games. This is wrong.

Hi,

The new Exorcist movie trailer is extremely disconcerting and inappropriate to be shown on TV during

While I appreciate folks enjoy horror films, there's a time and a place for such movies and similarly,

there should be a time and place for these trailers too.

Please consider allowing airing trailers with ratings commiserate to the program being viewed or

include a warning upfront.

Description

I have now spent close to 2 weeks and 2 hours trying to resolve a simple billing issue with Xfinity.

Before you read any further, I both encourage and implore you to dial their customer service number

(888)266-2278 and see how long it takes you to connect to an actual agent. Your blood will boil and

you will feel both frustrated and defeated as you attempt their automated system.

Now, on Sunday 10/7, I tried to upgrade my services (I've actually been with Xfinity for close to four

years now, unbelievably enough) so I could watch an NFL football game. Effectively, I was going from

just having internet/basic streaming to having both of those things and now a full cable package.

However, a flaw in Xfinity's design, when I enhanced my service, my Flex box (which I watch daily!)

was disabled and the new cable box wouldn't arrive for a week! Ugh you can't win with Xfinity! Upon

realizing, I had no streaming and wouldn't have the new cable package for a week, I called

immediately and canceled the upgrade and restored my normal service. The call was 10/7/23 at

12:36 PM EST and lasted 56 (!!!) minutes. The rep assured me I would not be charged extra

(explaining he would waive the $15 one-time fee to activate- well, re-activate- my Flex box....)

Well on 10/13 I got a bill for $115!!! A big difference from the $45.55 I usually pay each month! So I

called back on 10/17/23 at 5:11 PM EST (22 minutes) and the rep told me: I can help with your

bill...oh it looks like the prior rep kept your Internet upgraded to 400 mbs instead of 75 mbs..." she

acknowledged on the recorded line that it was their error and she would submit a correction for my

bill. She also assured me I could speak to her supervisor....Then after 20 minutes, she transfers me!

So I hung-up and initiated the formal legal process and retained a lawyer, who encouraged me to tell

my story to the FCC and BBB, as I am hoping to skip arbitration and sue them in Circuit Court for

fraud and misrepresentation. I would like the company fined and investigated for anti-trust. Though I

know that's a big ask, I think a fair ask is to have my bill issued normally, as I was assured it would

be.

Company Complaining About: United States (+1)

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I live in the Chicago suburbs and do not have cable TV nor do I stream programs from the TV or the

computer. I do not know how to do this. I am a senior citizen, an 84 year old woman. I receive TV

programs from Channel 2 (CBS), Channel 5(NBC), Chanel 7(ABC) and Channel 9(WGN). All these

programs are received by my televisions over the air via an antenna on my house. Please tell me

why all of the channels on Saturday and Sunday(sometimes) evenings air football programs as the

evening programming, It seems that Saturday evening is for college football and then Sunday

evening is for professional football. Not everyone is interested in sports of any kind, especially me. It

has been my understanding that the stations named above are given a license to provide

programming, but also for the public benefit. It seems that some arrangement could be made among

the stations that some stations could provide sports programs, but not all the stations. This approach

was done prior to COVID. The only station in my viewing area that does not have sports for weekend

programming is Channel 11 (PBS). I think is outrageous and the stations CBS, NBC, ABC, and WGN

need to be held to account to provide other programming. I also believe that the stations and

colleges and universities are only broadcasting college football games for the dollars received from

advertising revenue. PS you need to have a Not applicable (NA) to your questions

about companies. My reception is over the air, and I do not relate to any company. I get TV for

FREE.

Dish is blocking 2 of my local channels, and have been for a year now, while they are requiring me to

the dish channel guide. I have contacted them to complain several times with the standard reply "we

are still negotiating with them". I have been a dish customer for over 25 years and they do this every

year affecting different channels. They have allowed a one time $5 credit once but that is not good

enough. They will not replace the channels with different Fox channels. This is not fair or good

business, let alone good customer service. There is no good excuse for this to be going on for a year

now. Our fox channels have all of our news local sports, college and pro football, Nascar racing, etc.

They even block me from getting it by the computer by requiring the different channels to require a

"pay subscription" to a TV service which I do have but Dish blocks the channel because we don't get

it in our area because they are blocking it. Not fair to charge and then block for their negotiations.

and it’s quite upsetting that I can’t enjoy a football game without exposing my children to that type of

directly after the game. I was able to clip the portion of the broadcast, save it to my phone and attach

they are being shown the commercials with the same content on ABC and other public channels while

reserved for adult hour television times to avoid, as much as possible, a frightening topic for young

Date: 11/28/2023 5:22 PM

City/State/Zip: Port Arthur, Texas 77642

Company Complaining About: Spectrum

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I have been a customer with Spectrum Internet Service from September 2023 to present. I do not

have Television or any other services from Spectrum. In this short time I have experienced several

outages and lapses in connectivity. I've had two technician visits resulting in the installations of all

new lines from the pole to inside my home and total equipment replacement/calibration by the

technicians. The internet connectivity appeared to be fine depending on what programs were on,

being more faulty during times when football games were being televised. I also have friends and

relative who live in different areas of the city but have the exact same internet and streaming service

that I have. They have no issues with their services at the times I'm experiencing mine. On Monday

November 27, 2023 I had no issues with my internet service until approximately 7:30pm. This

happened to be minutes after kickoff of Monday Night Football. I called Spectrum's Internet support

and was informed that there was an outage with an expected restoration time of 10:00pm, just about

the time that the game would be ending. With the prior connectivity issues all being during football

broadcast times, I find that to be little more than a coincidence.

I've contacted Spectrum several times about the connection problems and requested that I not be

charged for time that I have no internet connection. Since they seem to want to regulate my service I

don't feel I should have to pay for what I'm not getting. Their response is that my internet must be

down for 4 hours in order to receive a credit on my bill. It is my belief and the basis of my complaint

that Spectrum targets certain communities, abuses their ability to disconnect service even when the

customer is not in default on payment, and has in place a policy that allows them to randomly

disconnect service for hours at a time without having to credit the customer for down time.

Why? Because Spectrum has had a monopoly in our area on Internet since the existence of

broadband, and on Television since the existence of cable. With the emergence of streaming apps

people in lower income areas are opting for streaming because it's considerably cheaper. Still we're

at the mercy of Spectrum for internet so ultimately they have the means to affect our streaming apps.

The also have the means of knowing what's the most viewed programs in the area and the times.

They are losing television subscribers and in retaliation are trying to discredit the reliability of cheaper

streaming apps.

People in low income areas have to find cheaper ways to enjoy things as simple as watching TV. For

a Mega-Company such as Spectrum, who over charges for internet, to then turn and retaliate on us

for pinching pennies is gross abuse of power. Most people don't feel it does any good to complain but

I'm hoping they are wrong.

these debates? How does an American citizen stay informed about their political representatives if

they are unwilling or unable to shell out hundred of dollars for propoganda spreading networks like

FOX or CNN? Does a PBS entity exist to meet this need? Or is it that Americans interested in hearing

and seeing what these crooked politicians have to say, we are forced to fund and support their

propanda if we want to keep aware of their next trick. Is it legal to force free citizens to pay to hear

clowns lie about what they may or may not actually do? These services used to be available the

public on multiple channels. How am I able to vote as an educated citizen if the networks are

empowered to deprived me and millions of others from hearing the debates? I am not familiar with

being blocked from the news and being expected to pay to see a debate like one might pay for a

football game. Do I have a right to hear my representatives as a free citizen? Why am I forced to pay

taxes for these scumbags and then blocked from hearing them discuss whatever it is they dream up

in these debates?

Date: 12/2/2023 1:47 PM

City/State/Zip: Roanoke, Texas 76262

Company Complaining About: AT&T

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I am paying for a DirecTV package with AT&T that advertises that it offers all of the local channels in

my area. While I understand that contract negotiations will happen from time to time, it is a

company's responsibility to provide the services they advertise and that consumers pay for. It is

unacceptable for a consumer to lose access to a channel (that they are paying to have) because the

provider is doing their part. I was told by an AT&T representative that if they accepted the current

offer, then they would have to increase their customer's fees. They have already increased our rates

recently! At least twice in the past 12-18 months! This is just bad business. AT&T needs to foot the bill

for the channels they say they will provide while negotiating the contracts for the different channels to

get a better price. I did receive a $20 credit for the inconvenience, however there shouldn't be any

disruption in my service at all because of this reason. Especially when this is football season and we

count on having access to the channels we are paying for. If we can't watch at home, our only choice

is to go to a restaurant, which will cost a lot more money than watching at home where you are

already paying to see the game.

you are well aware of, for most of the country the stations owned by Tegna, were blacked out. It

doesn't matter that I pay $150 a month for their service. I gave up and went to a local sports bar to

watch, but they also had Directv and were blacked out. As a consumer, I find this very disappointing

and totally unacceptable that the customers should be penalized because they cannot come to an

agreement. Therefore, I feel like the FCC should use your authority to settle whatever dispute they

are involved in.

Description

Dish Network and Mission Broadcasting (Owners of KLJB (Fox Network local Channel) Have been

fighting for over a year in a contract dispute and so the only way to view this channel is to connect an

over the air antenna to our TV. However, this only is a good when you have time to watch it live as it

can't be recorded on a DVR, etc.

We have missed NFL football now for two seasons because these two kindergarten children continue

to fight each other in this contract dispute and in our minds, promises are broken and contract with us

to provide local channels is missing this one channel due to this long, long dispute.

Seems to us this is being handled without care for customers and without adult supervision in

whatever negotiations they claim to be doing, But over a YEAR, Really??

Hope the FCC can step in and severely encourage an end to this problem. BTW, Dish added an cost

increase to our bill recently in spite of all of this. They also have provided a $5 credit for this missing

channel, but we have to call every month, explain for 15 minutes the issue and then they finally agree

to give us another $5 credit...They won't make this retroactive either for all these months... At the end,

we have missed many months to do this as we have just missed doing so.

Again, please take these children-like adults and push them to resolve this issue. As we have called

often both Dish and Mission Broadcasting and they just point their fingers back to each other without

any resolution on the horizon.

Description

We filed a complaint a few days ago with the FCC, and was assigned a number . We did get

a call from Direct TV, who is our streaming provider. But they are not the culprit in this story, and we

don't have a customer relationship directly with TEGNA, a company which owns our local ABC

affiliate channel. As of today, we have gone several days unable to see anything on ABC. Direct is

trying to make accommodations and put the ABC college football games on the ESPN streaming

channel.

My issue is that TEGNA is not negotiating with Direct in good faith. They are trying to price gouge

DirectTV and thus us. But we can't complain to them and they don't answer to us. I believe there

should be a policy change that networks on the public waves shouldn't be able to charge TV

providers ANYTHING. This is something we could get for free. I don't understand why that isn't

already the case. They are using the public airwaves for free.

The person I want to hear from is the FCC about this policy.

To whom it may concern,

Regarding Direct TV Business Account #

Studio City, CA 91604

I own a restaurant in Studio City, and I have 4 tv’s which are serviced by Direct TV.

In 2019 I ordered NFL channel for the season to see if my customers are interested.

Unfortunately, our customers were not interested with football.

In 2020 NFL season, I saw the charge of $1,000.00 on my statement. I called Direct TV and asked

about the charge, I was told it will renew every year automatically till I cancel it.

I told them my customers are not interested with NFL please cancel and remove it permanently so

Direct TV cancel it and made the adjustment on my statement.

In 2021 NFL season, I had the NFL charge again on my statement. I called Direct Tv and complained

about it that 2020 I asked to remove it permanently. Direct Tv agent apologized canceled and made

the adjustment on my statement.

(b) (6)

In 2022 same thing again NFL charges on my statement.

2023, September 4, I cached a very bad Covid-19 and I was very ill till September 17 (attached is the

proof picture of my covid test that I text my niece Sirane.

When I felt better September 18 went to work to check and pick up the mail.

And again, the NFL $1000.00 charge was on Direct Tv statement.

I called Direct TV back and forth to argue about the charge, they kept transferring from one

supervisor to another one. Then one of supervisor said someone will call you within 72 hours to

resolve the issue.

2 days later someone called and said they can’t remove or cancel it because 3 days it’s passed, and

it says on your statement with small prints.

I explain that I had Covid, and I was not going to work and since all my bills are auto pay, I wasn’t

worried about bills, and every year since 2019 I am asking Direct Tv to remove it permanently and I

don’t understand why you guys are not removing it permanently, also NFL season just started

September 7th and it will end on January 7.

He said we can give you $200.00 credit but you must pay the remaining $800.00.

I told the agent if you guys are not removing it, I am going to cancel the Direct tv services.

He’s response was “let me transfer you to the cancelation department”.

And I went ahead and cancel it, because I don’t want to be on my nerve every September to check if

Direct tv is charging me NFL season or they remove it permanently since I am requesting it every

year.

Please, I need help with this, I can't pay $800 for something that we did not use it.

If you have any questions, please you can call my cell number at

Company Complaining About: Comcast

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Signed up for the above products on or about 9.17.23. Saw an advertisement for a bundled package.

Had an issue with my payment source in November or December 2023 (fraudulent charge). My

financial institution issued me a new debit card. I then forgot to update this info for my Google TV

account (I am a TBI survivor with permanent residual impacts and memory issues). Hence my

December 28th payment was not processed. I received email notification, and tried to update my

payment info in my Google wallet. Their Web site was virtually impossible to navigate. My payment

info was not updating. Tried to resolve this on my own for about a half hour on 12.28.23. Then chatted

with google, online to receive assistance. I believe I was chatting with an offshore call center and was

informed that my Google TV promotion for NFL Sunday ticket was canceled since I do not make

payment. The promo original payment for Google TV from September through January I believe it

was like 52 or $54 a month and my payment increase to $70 plus sales tax. Explain my situation to

the chat agent, and she didn’t care. I cannot recall her name. Took her a long time on her own to

resolve my issue, but we finally got it resolved. But I now am paying a higher amount that I should be

due to a glitch in their system, where I could not update my card information plus again I have a

disability when it comes to memory. And there are no commendations on the Google website to make

it easier to access for people that have memory limitations. I do not believe this falls under your

disability oversight because I was able to access their webpage. It’s just very difficult to navigate once

you get there as far as update your payment information.. very difficult for the chat agent as well as it

took her at least 20 minutes to half hour to get results on her end. Didn’t explain the charges to me as

far as I’ll be paying in January February 2024. was confusing, and differed from what The emails I

received from google state as far as my payment amounts and frequency. It does not appear that

Google trains are offshore agents for handling situations like this as far as making reasonable

accommodations for someone that’s having difficulty understanding or processing a request online.

Here’s all they care about is that their webpage is functional, but not as functional as it should be for

those that experience, memory, or other disability issues. I am requesting this for the original promo

google TV paid them out to be honored until the end of the football season which I believe will be in

by concluded by February 2024 payment. I should not be punished or penalized, because of an issue

that I did not intentionally do because again of my disability. I believe a reasonable settlement

accommodation would be to honor the request that I’ve stated in the previous sentence. Said she was

not with my Internet provider Xfinity but is with Google TV and I do hope that you’re able to assist me

with this request . Kind of frustrating they Google through their chat agent was not able to make just a

small accommodation or adjust the billing based upon an issue that occurred because of my legally

medical disability . So in essence, I should be receiving roughly a $50-$55 credit, to my payment

should’ve, from Google TV coverage December 2023 through February 2024 and I feel that this is a

reasonable request on my end Thank you.

And last night I couldn’t watch Svengoolie, KFXF-LD, and KTVF-DT, doesn’t, come in well, and we

finally, got KUAC 1-5, and FM, back on air antenna.

I don’t know if that’s because of the avalanche, weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, or airplanes and

reception, time of the year - or because people don’t want the air antennas anymore - or something

different, including wartime.

I also, overheard mean - rude comments about the Chiefs, and their quarter back, Mr. Mahon, after

the first game that was on, the Dolfins vs. the Ravens.

And then mean, rude comments on and directed towards someone in the building.

I wrote AHFC, and the City of Fairbanks.

I didn’t ask them about the reception.

I don’t know if that’s also, a different radio.

I have listened to other frequencies- but I didn’t hear what I can hear around the, football, players,

and games.

Someone is also involved in cyber sex crime, or that’s part of the spoofing.

I have complained to the FBI, police, and Alaska State Police.

And today, to ICE, and the DEA.

I know we have an air alert, and pollution, and hear garbage problems at times.

We have mice, vole, or lemmings problem that maintenance, for AHFC, is taking care of outside,

then someone complained about animals inside the building.

I hope that you are all, well!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

As I was watching the football game Texas and Washington with people in the room with me, there

was a break in the action. A cameraman appeared to be walking down the streets of New Orleans

and captured a woman exposing her breast. This was not any essential part of the football game

and should have been blurred out or edited through a safety delay. I and the others in the room were

highly offended. Football games are family viewing events that include small children.

Although this took place at approximately 10:30 central time those people in Washington state were

watching during prime time.

This additionally promoted pedophilia as this indecent exposure happened with a child in a stroller in

front of her, exposing a child in a stroller to such an activity is so offensive it’s beyond obscenities.

There was a box of advertisers being played to the left including AT&T and Modelo beer.

To be clear this obscene act included exposing of the entire breast, nipple, and areola in front of a

child in a stroller. What kind of obscenity is trying to be demonstrated by this cameraman and the

editors who should have caught this? who’s judgment would take you into the streets without careful

consideration of video footage? This was front and center! They could’ve put the advertisements over

that and they chose not to.

They have video delays on the game, why would they not have video delays on the extra footage of

the surrounding city highlights.

This is a demonstration of a form of child abuse not by the mother or the exhibitionist but by the

editor(s) who allowed this to be shown dying a family time.

I would request criminal charges be brought up if possible. I request the police be involved. This was

an intentional act of exposing this scene to families watching this football game.

Ticket: # 6671174 - Throttled Internet Speed

Date: 1/2/2024 2:33 PM

City/State/Zip: Leoma, Tennessee 38468

Company Complaining About: Point Broadband

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I am frustrated with the ongoing issue and believe that the FCC needs to conduct a lawsuit against

the provider for throttling my internet speed. In the mornings, the speed would be fine, and I would

run the speed test. The results would run at 300 MBSP downloads or more. But then I would run the

speed test again later on in the day, and the speed would come out much lower than it was in the

morning. For example, on December 28, 2023, I ran a speed test at 9:51 PM and got a result of 13.7

MBPS download, which is very low.

I've noticed that as the day progresses, the speed quality decreases, which has an impact on my

ability to make and receive VRS phone calls and has an impact on other stuff, like streaming TV. As

an example, I would be unable to live-stream a football game, and the video would be choppy and

blurry.

I tried to resolve this with Point Broadband and have already filed several complaints with the FCC

about this issue. The issue is still not resolved, and I believe that the provider is purposely throttling

my internet speed and slowing it down. I have a Netgear modem: Nighthawk. I also have ADLRAN.

As per my previous complaint, ticket 6469690, I did get a text message from the provider; however, I

then no longer heard from them again going forward, and they did not follow up with me again.

I am paying for the best and highest speed of about 500 MBSP. I should be getting that type of

service all day and at all times, but I am not. Again, I believe that my internet service provider is

intentionally slowing down the speed.

Date: 1/4/2024 11:44 AM

City/State/Zip: Jefferson, Maryland 21755

Company Complaining About: Directv

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

AT&T, who owns DirecTV, is blocking access to local affiliates of CBS network stations due to an

alleged contract dispute. Consumers, like me, are being unfairly excluded from CBS television

programming, including football playoff games, due to AT&T's unwillingness to pay CBS owners for

rights to broadcast their programming. We live in the country and pay DirecTV for access to all

television channels, including CBS, as we have no access to cable or over-the air broadcast signals.

It is unfair for CBS/DirecTV to tell consumers that we should pay a streaming service for something

we are paying DirecTV for as part of our programming package. AT&T is unfairly using the consumers

as leverage to force CBS to lower their price and the consumer is caught in the middle of their

contract dispute.

Company Complaining About: Viasat

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I know I probably won't get my refund . There are 2103 complaints on VAISAT the last 3 year and

672 in 12 months including mine. Vaisat is very miss leading to people. You buy a high data plan and

then when it runs out after 2 football games you go to low data plan. You call cause your low data

isn't enough to even run a cell phone much less a tv so they try to tell you, your data ran out so up

your package. Which is more money and that will only last so long too. As you agree to the service

that they make sound so good to you not realizing when data is gone you have no tv like me and

other people that made complaint to the better business bureau. They tell you low data. The lady I

talked to the low data was 10Mbps was there standard data. You don't get that at all. I had Vaisat

internet a totally of 11 days and would not up my package. Then they throw it in your face a 24 month

contract you sign for there service. It they backed there business and told people the truth as your

data runs out you will have no service so no tv people would not buy a it cause if they told me I would

have no data not low data I would not get there service. So people including me are stuck in a 24

month contract or canceled it and still pay a fee for breaking a contract. They said you had low data

but when you can't watch tv or use your phone to me you have no data that isn't low data. Then they

charge you for a service of breaking a contract you couldn't use. That would be like buying a cell

phone with no service. It is so wrong. The lady I talk to was so misleading. I ask her about the

weather affects and told her my husband worked for Duke power from home and he had to have

internet. She goes he would be fine. I told her what I get from bright speed was 4Mbps and she goes

you will have so much more even on low data. That was a flat out lie and I wish I had a copy of that

phone call. So I put a 60.00 deposit down, 2 weeks after disconnect 90.00 payment came out, then

they put that contract in your face as you signed it which they took 344.00 out of my bank account

without an email or anything just took it cause you signed contract. It has nothing to do with no

service that they say is low data. They are making money off people canceling service cause you

signed a contract that you don't no if it even will work for you and they make it sound so good. To me

they are scam and that contract is a trap for money cause nobody in there right mind would buy a

service they can't use or was told you may not have any service after data runs out. I would never

buy it nobody would. So for 11 days of Vaisat which over 7day of it had no internet I have paid about

490.00 for nothing and I'm not the only one if you read BBB complains. It's wrong . They cannot

back the service they tell you, you will have low data which is no data and charge you cause you

never got the right service to begin with. How do they get away with this.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

The rights to air the January 13, 2024, playoff game between the KC Chiefs and Miami Dolphins

were sold by the NFL to the Peacock network for a ridiculous amount of money.

The ability of millions of Americans, who may or may not have cable access to watch a crucial game

that may impact the Superbowl contenders, has once again been sacrificed on the altar of greed and

capitalism.

Something is very wrong with this state of affairs when the football viewing public is shut out, unless

they purchase a special paid for channel.

How have you in your regulatory roll enabled this to happen? Essentially you have encouraged a

monopoly to be established that holds football fans and viewers hostage to Big Brother-like cable

entities. Just another deeply disturbing incident of the selling of our country to the monies interests

with no respect for the American public.

ABC.

I am old school, I do not want cable or dish. I feel that in just a few more years and tv will be pay per

view or at least membership $$ for each streaming channel. I missed out on the Rosebowl and the

Washington vs Michigan Football games because I am too cheap to bend to the money grabbers. I

doubt that I will get any answers to any of these issues.

One other issue. If I have internet thru Xfinity why do I need Xfinity tv service if I'd be using an app

I have never filed a complaint to the FCC before. But I was floored to see the tv show Ted and hear

the F word, other curse words, and JC multiple times within minutes. Even though a person appeared

at the beginning of the show to warn that the show is not for kids ( Seth McFarland?), there is no

doubt that most children are going to stick around to see a talking Teddy Bear, and receive what

amounts to an assault on their mind and ears with the barrage of curse words that follow. This is

essentially baiting a child to sit and learn irreverence and curse words. Please review this show, and

remove its availability to children- it has no redeeming qualities that I could discern. Although this

show was on a streaming platform ( Peacock), it automatically came on after the Chiefs/Miami

football game, making it more like a live show rather than a streamed show. Thus children are more

apt to see this terrible Teddy Bear without actually actively choosing to. Please do not share my name

or contact information with the network. Just check out this show, please. Thanks,

Company Complaining About: AT&T

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

I have fiber optic internet service through AT&T that I pay $135/month. Have you seen the movie

Groundhog Day, where Bill Murray lives the same day over and over? I feel that I am stuck in my

own version of Groundhog Day trying to get my AT&T internet service repaired. For the past three

months I have had nightly slowdowns of my AT&T fiber internet download speeds that makes my

internet unusable for 1-2 hours every night. I have had multiple service technicians come out and do

everything from check and clean the lines, replace the gateway, and repace the fiber line from the

street to the house. I have also had 5 or 6 phone calls with customer service. I have tried to explain

to each person that my issue seems to be caused by network congestion in my neighborhood and not

by the equipment in our house. I pay for 2000 mbps download & upload speeds. I get these speeds

consistently except during the evening hours from about 6pm- 10pm. My download speeds start to

slow down around 6:00pm every night and usually bottom out at about 50 mbps around 8 or 9pm.

Around 10pm the speeds start going back up and get back to normal around 1pm. Unfortunately, my

family most often wants to use our internet during the 6pm-10pm hours. Anything we try to do from

streaming shows to playing video games becomes impossible during this time. For example, I had to

watch more than half of the College Football National Championship on my iphone using cellular data

because my AT&T fiber was buffering the whole time. As I said, I have had many trechnicians out

and each one seems to genuinely want to help, but this problem seems to be above what technicians

deal with at a customer’s home. After each “repair” the nightly slowdown continues. The latest tech

said he could tell the problem is outside of my house and that he would get with his manager about

checking the lines that come to my house through the neighborhood but so far nothing has happened

to improve our service. Each time I call customer service I start at ground zero and they want to

blame it on how many wifi devices I have connected or where my gateway is located in my house. I

just want to get to use the internet I pay $135 for each month. AT&T seems to not have a process in

place to address issues that go beyond the customer’s house and and more of a large system issue.

This nightly slowdown of our internet service has happened every day for three months. I just ask

that someone above a technician at AT&T look at the service coming to my home and see why nightly

internet congestion is causing me not to be able to use the internet. I ask that AT&T let me know if

they are unable to provide me the service I pay for so I can look for other internet options for my

family. Thank you!

for the last two months. I log on to pay my bill for December and low and be hold my bill is $205

again! All my husband and I do is watch tv, maybe some web browsing and that’s it. We don’t even

stream music. So I clicked on the icon to do “chat” and after over an hour later they finally credited my

account $100 but my biggest question was how am I going over my data when all we do is watch tv,

football and maybe some movies. And also why was I charged when I opted out of this 3 months ago

and for the last two months everything has been fine? Make this make sense for me because it

doesn’t.

2) Since Jan 15th my internet has been out every single night going into the morning except for

Wednesday evening and I know this because I have been trying to do a two hour application online

since Monday and Wednesday evening was the only night my internet was working so I was able to

get it done. Saturday, January 20th we were watching tv and around 4-5pm my internet goes out and

it’s currently still out and it’s Sunday night (5:45pm). I spent 2 hours doing the “chat” with Cox

because I can not afford for them to charge me $75 for a tech to come out and tell me it’s not an issue

with Cox. But it is because I’m able to turn my hotspot on my phone and connect it to my tv and my tv

work so we can watch it. Please go back and pull my “chats” with them! This is very frustrating that I

pay for a service and don’t receive it, they want their payment every single month, I want my service I

pay for every single month. If you look on our community page on Facebook you will see this

happens all the time. I depend on my internet service because I pay for it but also because my

husband has recently had a stroke and I HAVE to work everyday and depend on this internet service

to watch the cameras and speak with him. I’ve stressed this to the representatives on “chat” and I’ve

expressed to them that I opted out of getting “extra” data and being charged over $100 for it but yet

here I am still getting charged for it. This is unacceptable and with not to many companies to switch to

I feel stuck and at their mercy and this is completely unacceptable for any business to do this to any

customer! Please make them stop over charging people and give me the service I pay for 24-7

Description

Kansas City Chiefs vs Buffalo Bills.

Jason Kelce was topless and baring both of his nipples at the football game that was aired live on

national television. It was disgusting to see a grown man shirtless, baring his nipples and screaming

all on the TV screen. Apparently the NFL thought this kind of indecency was okay to show on TV.

Every network and news channel has covered the scene. Back in 2004, CBS tried to crucify Janet

Jackson when she had a wardrobe malfunction. Twenty years later CBS and the NFL thinks this type

of nudity and behavior is okay. I’m outraged to see the hypocrisy and double standard that is being

overlooked. CBS and the NFL need to do better and not broadcast nudity at a family sporting event.

The following paragraphs were taken from the internet describing the outrageousness of Jason

Kelces’ behavior.

“The 36-year-old was seen on the broadcast in a suite at Highmark Stadium, screaming while

shirtless with a drink firmly in hand, with the Chiefs describing him on social media as their “No. 1

hype man.”

Kelce was then caught on video leaping out of the box to greet Bills fans before taking a swig of a

drink and vaulting back up into the suite.

Kelce was also seen in among the action before the game as well. Surrounded by Buffalo fans, the

Eagles star was spotted drinking out of a bowling ball and high-fiving members of the ‘Bills Mafia.”

want to watch football. I wonder if you would allow propaganda from China or Russia to air on

national television?

Yesterday during the largest football game of the year a despicable commercial paid for by Israel

aired. This should not be on our viewing screens. This should not have been approved. It paints a

false narrative that Israel is the victim of some sort of war against them when in fact Israel is the

perpetrators of a war on millions of innocent civilians and have, in fact, killed and silenced their own

on multiple occasions over the last few months. Remove this ad from air time permanently. This ad

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

On Sunday 2-11-24, my Xfinity internet service went out at 9am -7pm. 101-500 internet customers

experienced this outage. It was Super Bowl day. There was no storm, snow, down power lines or

trees in my area or scheduled maintenance. An email or text would've been sent well in advance. I

spoke to customers I knew in my area and we all had the same commonality, of only having Xfinity

internet. I spoke to other Xfinity customers I knew who lived in and surrounding my area, who have

internet, cable, telephone, or streaming services, with Xfinity. Their services were fine. When my

internet service was restored at 7pm it continually buffered and I couldn't use my streaming apps, not

Xfinity's. I couldn't watch anything. My download speed was under 10MBS. I pay for over 800MBS. I

then had a friend who has cable & internet services with Xfinity, allow me to share their internet.

Guess what? No buffering. I logged back into my Xfinity internet buffering and low speed. I then, tried

another person's internet service with their log in information as well. everything ran smoothly. I log

into my internet again buffering and low speed still. I feel like Xfinity was throttling the speed, of

customers who only had internet services with them, in order to cause desperate football fans to call

& subscribe to cable in a panic, in order to watch the Super Bowl game , or any other programing on

2-11-24. I previously had cable service with them until 2020 and switched to internet services to

stream programming, because cable services and prices were outrageous. As of now I have been a

customer for 30 years. I called Xfinity to complain on 2-12-24 about throttling my internet speed and

to make Xfinity aware that I was filing a complaint with the FCC! I was given a $25 credit on my

upcoming internet bill, because my service was out for 10hrs. and for my speed throttling

continuously when XFINITY restored my internet service at 7pm.

Description

On 2/11/24 an ad was aired on American television during a highly watched program, Super Bowl.

This ad was funded and created by a foreign nation. There was no forewarning that this was non-

American. This was way to put their propaganda, they, being Israel, onto the American people without

their knowing in advance. They disguise the ad as if it were American, American football With what

appeared to be African-American family, as Israel is predominantly, white and racist we would assume

it is America this commercial is representing. There’s a lot to dissect of why this is stupid, but we’ll just

start that there should’ve been acknowledgment that this was another country using American

entertainment to push their countries agenda on Americans.

Description

Hello,

I think it's disgusting that you allowed a misleading advertisement paid for by a foreign government to

run during the Super Bowl. In the name of "Stop Jewish Hate," the advertisement tried to garner

American support for the genocide happening in Palestine.

This is not what Judaism represents, and stopping Jewish hate cannot be done by using American

tax dollars to kill nearly 30k people and displace 1.9 million more. The misleading advertisement

extorted the lives of 130 hostages to justify the bombing of 2 million civilians.

In fact, during the superbowl, when American eyes were looking at football and not politics, Israel

attacked Rafah, the last safe zone in Gaza. And yet you allow this propaganda on our TVs.

I know you will likely respond to this with some bullshit policy response, if you respond at all. But to

the human on the other side reading this, just know that if you don't do something about this ad, you

are complicit in mass murder and your grandchildren will never forgive you.

Do better America.

Description

T-Mobile, recent gave me a free phone after all the problems with the service and discounted my

plan. But, what occurred, I've been customer with T-Mobile but believe that T-Mobile transfer my

phone calls to overseas representatives. Anytime I call T-Mobile Customer Services, I get someone

from overseas. But T-Mobile said my bill would never change, since I've been customer for 22 yrs.

But, T-Mobile change my service and billing. My bill was on $34.00 month (unlimited calls and text

and 3 gigs data and it slows down after the gigs). So, what T-Mobile did is, said I didn't have data

plan and started to cut my data off and on. Then just took my data away, then said I never had a data

plan and started charging me for data plan. Then because the data was slowing down as I looked for

work, I went and purchased internet service for home with T-Mobile. The internet service was 50.00

with $ 5.00 discount if you sign up for auto and then they change it and said it was $55.00 , with $5.00

discount , a year later. T-Mobile representatives said for all problems, we gone send you a phone

free and their corporate office reach out to me. Then T-Mobile wouldn't accept ACP for low income, I

disconnected my home Internet and went with cheaper company. I called T-Mobile on 01/31/2024 to

disconnect Home internet services. I return T-Mobile home internet (Feb 6, 2024 UPS drop off 1056

Cesar E Chevaz Ave Pontiac, MI 48341 (Tracking No. 1Z9E86E79030530364) box so, they wouldn't

charge me and they've done that to me before for equipment. But T-Mobile didn't pro-rate my bill or

adjust, they just move my plan to $75.00 unlimited. When this all started, the T-Mobile rstaff, say you

use the Tuesday perks and that's your discount, no I really do not use the T-Mobile perks because I

observed one of the staff giving more than one per customer, like 10 lunch bags and when I go to

store for one of perks, they are always out. I've only gotten two things since the T-Mobile perks and I

drove to store in morning to pay a bill and that's how I got it..never got anything else..until free phone

after all the phone problems and stolen identity under T-Mobile Macfee and I never lived in Detroit, MI

Because I complained, my cellphone is turn off , so someone else can drive around as me, and on

my auto insurance because home broken into and they know my name, email address, social security

number. Now I still have a high bill after returning equipment and they will not place bill back

according to T-Mobile customer who has been with company for years. T-Mobile wouldn't accept

Affordable connectivity program and then someone stole my identity for a year and used me for

phone service and internet. I haven't been able to get work and when whoever using my phone, and

T-Mobile or I change passwords, someone comes back to home and steal out of my home

and because home foreclosed and

someone was using my identity at old home and saying I'm mentally ill and stay in group home.

Someone has been using me to get paycheck and I'm not working. Someone lied and said I was

married to Berry Sanders (football player and I wasn't and never tried to date or go out with). I had

son who went to the same school, his children went to and that's it

Company Complaining About: Fubo

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Fubo is a streaming service that offers different packages of viewing services in Texas and in my zip

code 77304. The plan I have is call Elite which provides approximately 254 channels plus 130+

events in 4K, Cloud DVR - 1000 hours of space, Unlimited Screens - 10 at home, News Plus - 11

extra channels and fubo Extra - 56 more channels all for $89.99 per month. In the sub Extra package

in the Elite Plan, Fubo promotes that several major league sports are provided as MLB, Basketball,

football etc as part of this Elite "Extra" package. All of these viewing selections for $89.99 a month.

However, you simply can't view MLB as it advertises is available to view under the Elite "Extra"

package. You can only view these major league sports by paying a Regional Sports fee of $15.00

extra each month. My complaint is in promoting their major packages at a lower price when they are

all actually $15.00 higher. That information is not included in the monthly pricing, which is miss-

representing the prices to the customers here in Texas. Further, you can not delete the Regional

Sports Package even if you aren't interested in sports coverage, it is an added charge not advertised

in the base package costs of each level and the public is not able to delete. So bottom line all of their

streaming packages advertised are $15 higher than they actually are advertised.

Company Complaining About: Amazon Prime Video

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Hello,

I have been an Amazon Prime subscriber for many years. This past year, I logged into Amazon Prime

Video to watch Thursday Night Football on my AppleTV. I have never, to my knowledge, authorized

Amazon Prime Video via Apple TV to make purchases and charge my card.

My four-year-old told Siri to "Play PAW Patrol". AppleTV brought him to Amazon Prime Video and

then allowed him to make purchases without any password or multi-device authentication. The child

purchased a video and also signed up for two monthly subscriptions without my knowledge or

consent. I can only imagine the thousands of families purchasing videos and paying for monthly

subscriptions they had no intention of signing up for.

I request that (a) Amazon Prime Video is required to discontinue this practice immediately and (b)

Apple TV be informed and required to ensure that such inadvertent purchases are not allowed on

their device. I'll note that Apple already has good protections against accidentally purchases for their

own products. They should require such guard rails on all software installed onto the AppleTV and

other Apple products.

I emailed Amazon today requesting to be refunded and the email bounced back. I then had to call

Amazon (taking time). I spoke with the Amazon representative on the phone and the individual stated

that Amazon would refund the purchases, but clearly made this process more burdensome than

needed and could have easily prevented this from happening in the first place. I am attaching that

phone call (some time in the middle edited out when I was on hold) where the Amazon representative

verifies that the default is to allow for the purchases without any consent or guardrails.

Amazon should be fined for this practice and moneys refunded to customers.

outrage for Latina women dancing during the Superbowl for evoking something as natural as sex.

But, when it comes to limiting the advertising of killing, maiming, and other indecent acts there is

In Aug of 2023 I signed up for 1G service for $115 a month. Service was closer to 40k speed. All

internet speed test with exception of xfinity showed slow speeds, less than 50k. Was unable to watch

streaming shows without circle on TV trying to catch up with broadcast. A football game was

impossible to watch 2 consecutive plays without losing connection. I complained and installer came

to repair. He wrote a ticket for drop box and new line along with new receiver box. He was to follow

up with apptment which never happened. I paid for 3 month and changed carriers resulting from

xfinity inability to provide reliable service and support. They have reported me to credit burea for

over 400 dollars. Called them with no resolution as they feel they can do whatever they please.

This fraudulent billing and speed test of theirs needs to be stopped. Class action lawsuit seems to

be in order as almost everyone I speak with has bad experience with xfinity / Comcast. I should get a

refund for service that never worked, not be in credit burea for service that was unacceptable and did

not meet stated capability. The bill for time of service is more than monthly charge and I paid 3

months. This is issue with both billing and reliability of service per below question. It really is both.

and said none of this is happening and it is all in my head and there are 56 witnesses who say this is

not occurring. She asked that he refrain from texting her. He said that I threatened to sue over this;

However, I actually threaten to sue because this particular Manager said it says in my file that I had

sex with six football players and had to have an abortion, which I have recorded. 10:24AM suspected

Description

In December 2023, I signed up for ESPN+ so I could watch 1 D3 college football game. I signed up

directly on my TV. I then tried to unsubscribe on my TV since that is how I signed up; but it was

impossible to find a way to do that. I never watched anything other than this 1 game on ESPN+.

When I discovered that Xfinity was billing me & had also imposed a late fee, I finally figured out how

to log onto Xfinity.com to look at my bill & try to figure out how to talk to someone to get things fixed.

Although they provide a phone number, it is all automated & the only thing you can do is receive a

text or do a chat with them. They like you to do an AI chat but that didn't work in this situation; it takes

a while to get a "live agent" but you are still doing a chat & not direct phone call. On April 1, 2024,

after 40 minutes of playing this "live agent" chat game I was finally told that the live agent had

CANCELLED my ESPN+ subscription & also had submitted a ticket w/my request to fix my bill to

remove a $10 late fee & all monthly charges for ESPN+ except for 1 month, which I have paid for.

Several weeks later, I discovered NONE of this has happened & I am still signed up for ESPN+ & still

cannot figure out how to cancel it. Today I tried the chat feature again, but when I finally get to a "live

agent" & explain my issue, the chain disappears & I have to start all over again. I did that 3 times &

then gave up & came here to report this issue because there has to be a better way for consumers to

be able to communicate w/Xfinity. Right now, we are powerless. I otherwise have a bulk contract for

TV & internet service w/Xfinity/Comcast through the building I live in, which is paid thru my monthly

assessments, so this is the only time I have ever had to deal with any billing w/Xfinity.

program without you adjusting your set.I have contacted local abc tv station and they said it wasn't on

their end. Also on channel 24.1 same issues as the volume issues and it's a Fox channel which is

also from the same local tv station. Same thing happens when the Fox channel has MLB games,

Friday Night Smackdown and today 5/5/2024 the 24.1 channel (Fox) ufl football game between the

Company Complaining About: Comcast

_____________________________________________________________________________

Description

Comcast has responded to my original complaint but they have not sent me a contract stating what I

am being billed for. I was supposed to pay $141.77 for 24 months per Tia on the phone. I have not

had a follow up on this contract, just things which really don't relate to the saying I could not break a

contract but I didn't have the new contract as was discussed. They neglect to tell you of a current

contract/

I was quoted an amount by phone for a contract because the amounts on my bill didn't follow the

amounts due per phone conversations. The monthly amounts would frequently change and not follow

the quoted contract amount. There were increases during a contract year which should not be noted

until a new year was started. The contracts deviated without notification during a year and was never

consistent as quoted. I was never told I was under a contract from a certain date to the end of the

contract. I asked for changes because they would change the monthly amounts even though it was

not in the original contract. They seem to be one of the most difficult companies I have ever dealt with

and increase your contracts at their convenience without respect to what was originally stated. They

are not fair and really don't seem to care. I have used Xfinity since it started. i was married and lived

in Texas the first years and then got it when we moved to Georgia. Then my husband died and I

continued to used it. Then I married again and my husband got it in California for around 10 years.

When he also died, I moved back to Georgia and had it again only in my name. Ever since they have

continued to increase my contract and I was paying over $200 and I only have two TV boxes and one

computer. I do have DVR as I often record games. Now the Basketball, Baseball and football station

has been discontinued. This is a big part of my viewing. There is no option so I lost a major reason for

cable.

I don't seem to be able to get a comfortable contract since they change it (increase) so often. Why do

I have to honor the increases when my contract hasn't ended. I definitely feel they do not honor senior

citizens or widows discounts. This speaks to the saying, Do what is right!

Description

I use frontier for Internet and wifi for many years now with no wifi issues. My wifi always reached from

in my garage to across the street at the park. (100 yards) But in the last week- I noticed my phone

started losing connection with my wifi in my house. In the last 2 days - it can't connect at all - it says

the signal is too weak. It says this with me standing right in front of the router. Also for the last 3 days

- my computer has also started losing connection for a few seconds. So I called them. While on hold

- it says "spotty wifi? End your problems with inconsistent wifi in your home with our new Whole

House WIFI service" Just $10 more per month. I knew that explained why the wifi became so weak.

The agent came on and went thru the steps of checking my service and said everything checked out.

And tried to sell me on upgrading to the new plan. I said - I never had an issue with wifi until now. I

said - you can't degrade the quality of service to force people to have to pay more for the same level

of service they were already getting! I refused. Again she tried to convince me it was the only way to

increase my wifi strength. I again said no. She offered to replace my router with the same router and I

agreed to that. I told her what they were doing was obvious and illegal. But only you can stop what

they are doing. It's because the government is stopping paying the service in 2 weeks. They had to

keep the service good while the government was paying for it.The service is thru Verizon cable right

into my garage under my townhouse. My computer is 15' above by the door of my bedroom. There is

no legit excuse to have my wifi not be detected by my phone touching the router when a few weeks

ago it worked a football field away. Please do something about this. I'm on SSA type SSI (1,148 fixed

monthly) it's hard enough to need to resume paying for Internet and WiFi. I cant pay $10 more. I

already don't have enough to cover everything. They made it so the current wifi - still being paid for by

the government- doesn't work. Come to think of it- they made it stop working right when school let

out! They are breeching their government contract to provide wifi service! There's your legal leverage.
