I hate sprint

All companies are doing this now, even DirecTV. If you get a Tivo with them, they extend your contract. I cannot get local channels because my dish (which was only installed 2 years ago when I got my original internet through them) will not get local channels (which we didnt have yet back then.). So I asked about getting local channels, they said they can come out and put a new dish on for free, but we need to extend for at least another year. They stick you with another year for each Tivo you buy too. I like DirecTV but it seems more and more companies are sticking people by extending contracts.

The one good thing is you actually might be able to get out of the contract. See what the cancellation fee is, usually its only like $200. You could get the $200 from sprint, then cancel and basically cancel with their $200, then move to another phone company.
