Look guys, I get awesome coverage and supa-fast 3G data anywhere I go. I haven’t dropped a call (except until recently; see my previous post), your signal is the only one able to penetrate my concrete and metal house, which is practically a Faraday cage. And I get a nice FAN code discount.
But here’s my beef:
This past weekend, my upgrade eligibility (according to the AT&T Premier website) was set for July 14th, 2010 - which I screencapped - meaning I could get the new iPhone (which, if you read my last post about my phone being almost non-functional at this point and not being able to downgrade the OS) at the upgrade/new customer price.
And now today, while checking the prices of iPhones again, I noticed a message saying that my upgrade eligibility had changed to July 14th, 2011.
OH HELL NO. Instead of $200 it’s now $500? Are you fucking kidding me? I only purchased the specific iPhone model I did (and signed the required contract) because I knew that I’d be getting the new model this summer. Well, I guess I still can, if I pay $500, the upgrade fee, and pay each month for the remainder of my contract.
Fuck, I really want to go back to the BlackBerry Bold or something running on Android, but since I have AT&T, it pretty much means nothing on Android and having to get one of those ridiculous tiered pricing plans for data.
Sweet fucking Christ, it’s like I’m dealing with the oil industry.
So I nicely emailed Tumblr tech support to see if I could get my username switched from frenchelon to unfuckwithable, to match my domain name for this Tumblr, unfuckwithable.ca.
Apparently since I’m not Pitchfork, I can’t get my username switched to an account that’s been dormant for about a year. I mean, I understand, I’ve lived in America long enough to understand that unless I have mad cash or an internet hood pass, I ain’t getting shit.
So fuck it, I guess I’m gonna have to copyright my shit all official-like, in the US and Canada, and then send some cease and desist letters. Or I could start writing hackneyed and contrived reviews of “indie” bands for record labels and red state hipsters to pre-cum over. Whatever works.
Not trying to be a dick (obviously I am being a dick), but let’s aim for some fucking consistency with the special favours around here. I love Tumblr and the Tumblr Staff and I’d gladly pay for the service, so, no hard feelings eh? ::internet hugz::
