Super douchebaggery tends to do that.
I've referred this tale before, but when getting broadband we explored the option of getting DSL via AT&Fucktard. They said that it would be fine, and that they would send out a router to be installed within a week. We waited three, and then my mom decided to call to see what the hell was going on. Turns out that DSL wasn't possible in my neighborhood, due to the fact that a router station hadn't been installed (DSL signal degrades rapidly unless boosted). They didn't tell us this, they didn't send a router, and they were STILL GOING TO CHARGE US RENTAL AND INSTALLATION, AS WELL AS MAKE US PAY FOR THE INTERNET SERVICE!!!
So, we went with our cable company's internet. Sure, it might be spotty and shitty at times, but at least that company is honest.
