World Cup (if I am lucky)
I just really need to shout.....
It only two days to go to the World Cup however it has now been seven days and over 20 phone calls and ADD still cannot / will not / have not conected the footie channels. We have asked, faxed, screamed, shouted, spoken to managers offered to pay cash, direct to bank, credit cards and still they cannot manage a simple transaction....
We have been a customer for nearly 3 years and depsite the fact they are still charging $150.00 (so much for loyalty programs etc)we decided to go for it , however despite all of the attempts above they still can't manage it.
Gulf News ran a headline about people buying black market systems to watch the footie and to be honest after this experience I am sorely tempted just to go that route myself....
If anyone has any ideas how I can get the footie I would be grateful.
Anyhow vent over....

Help me then... does that mean although I have forked over to ADD and Showtime some extortionate amount of money to watch - that it wont be played?? I thought that the channels came live on the first day of the tournament..... oh no... i feel sick becuase I have promised my hubby that i have organised it right.
How do I know now if I will have the right channels???
Help...

Miss B - Oh yeah shoud'a known better, but I live in a world that always believes the best will come... Oh boy.... Have I got to move world.
Malt - Looking but not actively seeking at the moment, if something came along that really took my fancy I would pursue it but I'm not going too far out of my way at the moment.
Josie - I would love to help, but seeing as I don't have them myself
I don't actually know what you should be looking for... Sorry...
