I could opt out but i'm building a collection at this point
This is the best thing to do. Let them waste their money on printed, mailed ads, and use it to taunt them on the internet and expose how they badger and milk their ~~cattle~~ customers.
Not very environmentally friendly. I just send it all back, then they need to waste space and personnel on sorting their own junk.
chad
lol, I’ve done this, multiple times. the only thing that has changed was that my name was replaced by “Residential Consumer” for the subsequent spam.
Yup, and in my case they started sending door-to-door salespeople. They're spending all the money to kill Google Fiber where I'm at.
Call the number and ask for a pre paid return envelope to send a signed contract with.
Then fill the return envelope with all this crap.
Now they have paid 4 times for junk mailing you and they pay to toss out their own trash.
chaotic good, nice
"We don't need your signature, it can be one over the phone. Let's do it now"
The house is held in a trust so I need a physical document to sign for accounting reasons.
Spectrum still sends that much spam even if you are a customer already.
No, i dont want your tv bundle i literally havent had any desire to watch cable tv for over a decade please stop asking!
Fiber internet gang rise up! I would very much enjoy the death of spectrum
I’ve seen advertisements fiber internet is in my area (Frontier), starting price is $59, guessing the price goes up eventually?
This is why marketing is a bullshit job.
As are modern sales.
There should be a different name for people at a store that answer questions about a product on request.
No one should be trying to convince anyone to buy anything as a job. What the hell is that? If you make a cool product/service/thing for a reasonable price, people will come to you. If you don't, stop trying to pressure people into consuming it when they otherwise wouldn't.
There's different types of marketing.
One type is awareness marketing, which is exactly the type that's the furthest from "forcing shit down your throat".
Then later, when you're searching for something and see their name, your monkey brain will prefer the "familiar" option.
And tbh I do have to disagree with "people will come to you", it's really hard to grow if people don't know you exist.
And tbh I do have to disagree with "people will come to you", it's really hard to grow if people don't know you exist.
I'm against the concept of unnecessary growth/metastasis. I prefer homeostasis/equilibrium.
Unless you're bringing something profoundly superior to what exists to the table that will have people who hear rumors of it coming to you, there's no need for a 76th brand of chicken sandwich.
We're growing/metastasizing our species and a lot of other species into oblivion. It's a shame our species is belligerently unwilling to consider a different strategy.
They aren't even getting their target market right, sending me "move-in" offers when I haven't moved.
I still get all that and I have Spectrum. It's also common for the envelope to say it's "important." No, ads are not important.
Damn blurring out all the numbers must be more infuriating right?
Yes thank you for noticing my effort
Words can't describe the inner joy I felt making that call to cancel after I had Google Fiber installed. "No sir, there is no package or temporary deal you can offer me that's going to change the outcome of this conversation."
Rip it up and mail the shreds back to them, no note or explanation. Usually that makes them stop.
But how will they know it's from OP?
Got fiber and never looked back, 1gb both up and download at the same time(yes full speed on 2 different tests), no throttling, advanced email notifications for maintenance that's past midnight. it's so much freedom, no datacaps too !
I'm a current customer and still get shit like the frequently, usually they want me to add cable TV and/or phone to my internet-only package. It's really obnoxious. You'd think after me ignoring it for 8 years they would give up but nope, still at least once a month one pops up in my mailbox.
Just sleep well at night knowing that part of the reason your cable/phone/internet bills are so high is because your rates are subsidizing these morons to mail you full color glossy double sided bullshit advertising services at you that you already have.
I kind of like all the unsolicited junk mail. I use it weekly to line the bottom of all my parrot cages.
They even ambush me every time I go to the grocery store. And they've doubled my bill since I signed up. Why bother marketing when you can raise rates whenever you want? They could save so much money by not mailing every day and hiring people to hunt me
Ooooo aren't you popular.
My ex (Comcast) sends me stuff all the time. They even have the audacity to call themselves neighbor. Mr. Rogers they are not.
Do any of these have return labels?
I received these about once a week when I was a Spectrum customer. Since I dumped them when ATT fiber became available, I now receive them three times a week.
My ex is ATT fiber which, despite having zero love for ATT, was pretty great.
They are trying to get me back...but they don't offer fiber (or any service!) at my new address.
I’ve never even had them, just went on their website and put in my address to see what’s available, and I get tons of these too. Frontier is cheaper and waaaaaay faster, so fuck Spectrum.
So if I really hate someone, I can just put their address into the Charter Spectrum website?
Generally you can sign up this person for many types of annoying mail by doing essentially just that
This is me and Dish. Been over five years and I still get at least one a month. Post office was kind enough to notify them of my new address twice.
