    I recently had to call AT&T to cancel their internet service when I was moving. There’s a link on their website that supposedly leads you to an unsubscribe option but in reality it just leads you to a broken page. I mentioned this while on the phone with the agent and he said “yes that’s correct you have to call us to cancel” like it was standard procedure.
