With the Satirical Blog Gaining Momentum “Fake Jobs” Dan Lyons Backing Down

Lyons’ Fake Jobs Character Telling Readers Plan is “Just Plain Stupid?”
Come on, really? you are going to start a blog such as the one Dan Lyons has started and write a post such as the post “Operation Chokehold” and NOT expect it to gain as much momentum as it has? You’ve got to be kidding me! Especially with all the customer service problems (They come in last according to all reports) and network problems, (They actually made an app for that!)plus all the crappy iPhone rules and regs and rejections, the app problems and such…

And now AT&T wants to cap the data usage? They want to initiate tiered pricing because apparently too many people are actually using their unlimited data plans. How’s that for a load of BS. What did AT&T think? That because they (he customers) actually pay the money, there were just going to let all that paid-for data usage go to waste because they (AT&T) are making money off it? And now, it looks like AT&T is starting to get the message from the way the customers are reacting to the blog because it looks as if they are going to start offering incentives to those who limit their data usage.

Of course something like what Dan Lyons is doing is going to pick up speed and get out of control real quick. Why wouldn’t it? Customers are pissed off and they have something to say to the people who claim to run AT&T and who claim to care about the customers. And the Fake Steve Jobs’ blog has now given them a way to do it. Whether it was a joke or not, did Lyons and AT&T really think the people who read this blog wouldn’t take it seriously? I mean, come on! They read your blog for a reason! They are sick of AT&T’s crap, but can’t just walk away for fear of their wallets being emptied with the early termination fees. Or they are afraid of being fired by the big bosses. That’s right folks, even the employees don’t like AT&T

While they say it takes a village to raise a child, it takes massive protest from the people to go up a company like AT&T-And this time it might actually happen! So just like it said in the Operation Chokehold “memo” from AT&T, they are going to “Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments.” And from the looks of things, it just might work.

Operation Choke Hold-The Customer’s Scream For Better Service
And better service the customer probably will not get. Here’s why:

Why should AT&T change anything if they are doing so well already? You see, things have gone on like they are for quite some time now. And AT&T has seemingly brainwashed their iPhone users-and other cell phone and plan customers-into thinking there was nothing they could do for better service. They (AT&T) are pretty much telling their customers that “Yes, we know wee have crappy service, but if you want your iPhone, deal with it!”

But now the problem is that AT&T’s contract is almost up with Apple, and the service looks as if it is headed to it’s arch rival-Verizon. And the customers who were promised the best service in all the land, well they are not going to have to take it anymore. And they know it. So why would they care if AT&T is mad about the protest supposed to take place to day 12 PST (3PM EST)?

And the Verdict Is?
Well, a spokesperson from AT&T pretty much made their position known to the Fake Steve Jobs’ readers by stating “…there is nothing amusing about advocating that customers attempt to deliberately downgrade service on a network that provides critical communications services for more than 80 million customers.” AT&T also called the planned protest “irresponsible and pointless.”

What do all of you think? Is it pointless? Maybe, but it certainly is not illegal as they would have you think and as is posted as a question on the Fake Steve Jobs’ blog that’s for sure. SO will it happen” Who knows. Personally I hope it does. I hope the AT&T customers take a stand and let AT&T know just how mad they have made them. If not now, then AT&T will know they can do whatever they want to the customers and get away. As a mater of fact, I predict this… I think that if the customers do not go through with Operation Chokehold today, AT&T will cap data usage, just because they now know the customers won’t do anything about the way AT&T treats them.

SO Get out there if you have an iPhone or any other AT&T device with 3G data service and participate in Operation Chokehold. Let A&T know you don’t want to put up with their crap anymore. And while you are at it, why don’t you just go ahead and but a Droid? That’ll really make them mad. Besides it’s probably cheaper than the early termination fees…
