and for how long?

**hzhao** · 02-23-2010 08:35 PM

My old bill $158.xx
My new bill $224.xx
(maybe few dollars off, couldn't remember exactly. To depressed to look it again....)

Dish offed me $25 off on "Everything package" and $35 off for "Royalty Customer", total $60 off for total of 6 months.

I had to do something when the 6 months ends!!!!!

Quite a jump isnt it?

A 34% jump, to be approximate.

As of right now the only activity on my account is payment received ($107.98) and a new set of discounts for $17 for the next six months. So I am -$17 and any day now my new bill should be posted and I am not sure if the discounts that I have been getting will still be there. I think it's strange that the new discounts are posted but not the rest of my bill. To say the least . . . I'M SCARED. We'll see. If it's what I think might be the worst it can be, I'll be dumping a couple premiums that have gotten severely repetitive with 90% of their programming that can be seen on regular cable. So . . . holding my breath.

P.S.
Did DISH's Pricing Calculator even go online? Scott's link still goes 404. I would like to run my numbers on a newly supplied DISH calculation device. Or how do you do it now to get current pricing? The one that was around here for a while was $15-25 off for me.

My bill went up $20 with three Duo PVRs. And they charged me a $5.00 TV2 connection fee on top of the $17 fee per duo. Time to cancel.

Ours is still up at http://www.satelliteguys.us/calc.htm

I can't believe these folks will NOT budge at ALL. Best they would do is $22/mo for 6 months. If I wanted to move to all 612's, bend over and give them $315.

Sheesh.

I guess I need to downgrade my programming.

**peano** · 02-25-2010 05:44 PM

Yeah, they definitely won't budge.

I was offered the equivalent of $32 off. Not per month or per year. $32 off total!

Disgusting greed.

I canceled.

Directv is much less expensive for Premier customers with multiple HD DVRs.

I'm a 10 year customer and have always (except for a year right after I got laid off from IA) been an AEP customer, and am all HD.

They are really sticking it to the HIGH $ / LONG TIME customers here.

They don't seem to care.

Even the "loyalty" team.

I'm guessing quite a few high end E* subs will soon be subs of other providers.
