Tech support has been spotty (particularly during the
acquisition period!) but adequate.  More bothersome is
that now that I'm technically a DirecTV customer, I've
started getting targeted drool-proof paper spam from TV
Guide and elsewhere.  When I called DirecTV billing
about it they were not forthcoming about whether they
had sold my info or not.

  ooooh, this has great entertainment value.  i've decided to
sign up for directv dsl as soon as i get back to town.  when
i do that, i can innocently ask if they are going to guarantee
my privacy as a customer, and ask to get that in writing.
and the instant i get the first tv-related solicitation, i'm
gonna sue.  

  sometimes, i can be so easily amused.
