      @Tyler in the cell provider market its almost beneficial to jump ship every time you renew. i wonder now if i go back to verizon they'll consider me a 'new customer' even though i was with them 15 years before switching to att..... I'll let you know if i do

        @Tyler apparently you're back to 'new customer' status after a cooldown period of 6 months. fwiw That may vary from carrier to carrier or country to country.

          Not long been through the same thing with both phones and internet
          Switched to 3 different providers rather than staying with the one I’ve been with since before moving to Australia (2009) and have saved my wife and 1 over $240 a month for 12 months and will then jump ship again no doubt
          House and car insurance is the same
          Makes tough work of knowing who your with etc year to year but brand/customer loyalty with certain things is dead now unless you do what they want you to do and just auto renew and don’t question

              Today of all day I have been in doubt. My feeling was definitely tell me something is isn’t right today.

              My son is traveling to U.S. for 1year abroad study in UNC-Chapel Hill

              Before this he had an interview at US Embassy in London, getting the visa wasn’t straight forward. Due to fact he a British Pakistani has the name Mohammed.

              Pissed off today. The term make America Great, don’t think so.

              Kasi arrived on time for continuous flight.
              Had to go a U.S. Preclearance Dublin before you broad the next flight.

              Make him wait for 2 hours let him go after his flight has departed. Even said to the officers from U.S customs and Border, I have a flight to catch.

              That’s asshole said haven’t we all have. They won’t go with out you.

              If I was there believe me, I would have give him a fucking mouth full.

              Has to paid for next flight and book hotel.

              It’s been 26 years since I haven’t step in US.

              US Customs border force can suck dick. Being a bully, treating people like this.

              If it wasn’t for Britain you’ll be speaking French, wish you did now.

              Some dream of being cool, I make it look dangerous.🖕

                I’m sorry that happened to your son, Mo. I don’t blame you at all for the frustration. I’m glad he’s safe and was only inconvenienced, not harassed or detained further.

                                I calm him down, hope for the best tomorrow. Get on flight to US. Something that’s will stay in his mind, won’t be forgotten.

                                        @Kasi I know. I just need to stress that the discussion not cross that line. As a father and a person in general, I would be frustrated as well and understand.

                                        I just don’t want to clean up this thread for people that want to steer the conversation one way or another off of the point being made.
