To me Pegasus seems like some evil Mofia type of service. (Like something you see on the Sopranos)
Here is my vision of how Pagasus is run... (Note NOT an actual call)
DirecTV Rep - "Hi thanks for Calling DirecTV my name is Bob how can I help you?"
Customer - "Hi there I want to sign up for your service"
DirecTV Rep - "Great can you tell me where you live?"
Customer - "I live on 192 Big Pond Road in Mudlick Kentucky"
DirecTV - "Im sorry sir, we do not service your town, you will need to call the NRTC company for your area, which I show as Pegasus... Their Number is (800) 555-1212. Thanks for calling I wish we could help you, goodbye."
Customer - Hmm ok I will call these Pegasus guys.... (Dialing sounds) (RING... RING...) Umm Hello this this Pegasus?.... Umm Yeah I would like to sign up for DirecTV's 39.95 special please"
Pegasus Rep - " Sure bub... But you in Pegasus Territory that $39.95 special is gonna cost you $43.95, you got it?"
Customer - "huh? Why is it more for the same service?"
Pegasus Rep - "Because we control the satellites in the area bub, we charge you what we feel like bub.. ka'piche? Now if you are ready to order Ill be glad to take your credit information, and we can do business. If not then good luck and enjoy cable."
Announcer - "Will the customer pay the fees to Pegasus and get his satellite service or will the customer call dish network and avoid Pegasus all together... For the answer and more Tune in Next time for another edition of "As the Dish Turns""
Although in some NRTC areas the prices ARE the same as what DirecTV charges. I would like to see the NRTC go by the wayside myself. I must asmit though my thoughts of Pegasus could be all wrong, but from what I have heard I am probably on the money.
