    DISH Network Hell

    In my case there is nothing that can be done. The simple problem was that a Dish csr offered me a price that they will not honor. Talked to Stephanie at retention and was told that Dish would rather void our contract and go are separate ways than give us the price the csr told us. She said quote...

    DISH Network Hell

    I want clarify as the op on the other post that I do not know this person. I really think what happens is that some of the csr's are under pressure to sell and will tell us anything to get a sale. I would have to wonder how often this happens and goes unreported because most do not know of this...

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    This is the last post I am going to make about this. This really did happen! It is frustrating! I will never post on here again because I am offended that people are thinking I am lying about this. Everyone have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    Stephanie in retention say it would be better to void our contract and wave the cancellation fee.

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    We are not lying about this. I wish you could hear the calls. I had no beef with Dish. This reminds me of the Twilight Zone.

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    There was no communication breakdown. This sales person lied. My wife spent an hour on the phone and kept verifying what we were supposed to get. If you could hear the call you would hear her telling us these things. My wife even called back the next day and another rep verified our order. My...

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    I appreciate everyones input. Contacted Matt through email and unfortunately nothing can be worked out. I was impressed with Dish's equipment and programming. Unfortunately the sales and customer service is lacking. I guess we were naive in believing the sales reps price. How the standards of...

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    After the installer left we had to leave til later that night. We then realized we had no locals. My wife called the rep and was told it would be an additional $5 a month. He said he would waive the fee. My wife talks to them I am disabled. The Blockbuster movie pass we were told all new release...

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    It was through Dish themselves. I have already sent back my equipment to Direct. The only alternative here is Comcast and there is no way I would go back to that.

    New Dish Customer Disaster

    I switched Sunday from Directv to Dish. Worst mistake I have ever made. The first problem I ordered 2 722's and they had on their work order 1 722 and 1 222. They said if I wanted 2 722's it would cost $100. That would have been fine if they told me that in the first place. We finally agreed on...

    New HD channels coming!

    I am not here to bash D* at all. I am for the most part satisfied with their service. But in November my contract is up but will probably go back to Comcast. They have added alot of HD in my area and D* is doing exactly what Comcast was doing when I left them. By not adding HD they will start...
