Retention line vs tech visit, surprised myself by what worked
I spent years yelling at the tech support line whenever my speeds tanked. Last month after 3 separate truck rolls that did nothing, I finally tried the retention department when I threatened to cancel. The guy on the phone offered me a new modem for free plus a $20 monthly credit without even checking my wiring. I always figured retention was just for bluffing, but now I see it as the real fix line for billing issues. Has anyone else had better luck with retention than actual techs?
The "real fix line for billing issues" thing is so true lol. I went through the same mess with techs telling me my lines were fine while my wifi was dropping every night. Retention actually listened and gave me a credit without a fight, which felt kinda backwards but whatever works.
