I've been a D* customer for over 2 years and I still get letters in the mail saying why Directv is a better value than cable. I wrote a whole letter to the newspaper about why it was better already!
I am an E* customer but I still get phone calls asking me to buy E* service but I don't think these calls come directly from E*.
These calls come in at least every other day and from all over the country and a great many of them come at dinner time.
