    now Dish wants two phone numbers, WHY?

    Some subs can be so dense... So let's simplify this down. If you place an order for something, or ask for a tech, have one and only one phone number on the account, and fail to answer that phone number or it's bad; YOUR ORDER/TECH IS BEING CANCELED. Done, period, finito; self-inflicted pain...

    Before calling DISH customer service...

    CSRs routinely issue Time Without Service credits in the event of an outage or truck roll delay. So it's not even good money spent on a service... it really does boil back down to "it's just TV".

    Dish took my Free Blockbuster offer away.

    He didn't part, he was parted from DISH; at gunpoint. Now the interesting thing he never tells the whole story on, is why. It is interesting though, promise.

    Early Termination Fee - No Line of Sight after Moving

    Hmmm. Let's see. This is the customer's perspective, and THIS.... There...That's better.

    Early Termination Fee - No Line of Sight after Moving

    You signed a commitment. They just don't use the verbiage "until death do you part". Although I think they do part with you if you croak.

    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    I once worked for a man who believed that if you provided the highest quality customer experience, you didn't have to price match and customers would pay more versus going across the street to Best Buy. He believed it so adamantly, he sold DVDs and Blu-Rays for $29-39 (when they first came out)...

    qpsk and 8psk

    Or...it look several years of DISH's entire customer base upgrading? Yeah, some of it is churn, but it's an unjustified assumption that most or even all of that equipment is due to churn. And DISH/logic don't go hand in hand most of the time, that's another assumption. Logic dictates you don't...

    qpsk and 8psk

    Claude...Claude...Claude. Aren't you termed from using the phrase "DISH" for life at this point? None of the equipment is broken and you know it. Pieces of it are removed, intentionally disabled or the software changed to serve other purposes at a lower cost. That's a far cry from...

    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    So it’s okay to take advantage of something so long as whoever you screw over can afford it. And you wonder why DISH is so paranoid about how it does EVERYTHING? And for the record, that CSR you're taking advantage of who according to your above isn't paid that well (which is true), will...

    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    DISH doesn't like to give out promotions. Whether you've been committed for the last two years or not. :D It helps you watch out for predatory customers (leeches), but in itself it probably doesn't. A negative attitude doesn't solve any more business problems than wishful thinking. It's just...

    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    Yes, people call DISH up and say that. Yes, they prioritize television over basic life necessities and then blame others for their poor financial circumstances. Yes, customers call hoping to get out of a contract without an EFT. Just as hard as the guy with a sob story (whether it's true or...

    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    I'm sorry, want me to use my Joe-speak on this one? Here, let me blow some PR-quality smoke for you. 1. What do they want? Everything for free, or if not free, for as cheap as they can possibly get it (0% profit margin for a publically traded company) and free upgrades, credits, movie packages...

    DISH says Give Customers What They Want

    Customers aren't complicated at large. The vast majority can be summed up quite easily: 1. What do they want? Everything for free, or if not free, for as cheap as they can possibly get it (0% profit margin for a publically traded company) and free upgrades, credits, movie packages, PPVs...

    I'm Mad & Disappointed With Dish

    So...you're expecting some love on a customer forum? Retailers are companies, DISH is a company; if DISH makes no money, neither do you, you know how this works. And while we're on the subject, retailers have some not so nice things to say about the very customers they sign up. The customer is...

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    True...but when you get paid 250k+ a year to be selfish, greedy, egotistical and inconsiderate, they call it being an executive.

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    Oh, I wouldn't go that far. There's a few by virtue of their positions or who they're sleeping with that absolutely think they're untouchable. Some of the worst ideas to ever be attempted by DISH come from such individuals (intentionally launching the 922 before it was ready for example). Some...

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    I never said DISH and RSPs are different. I said the characterization of the relationship was wrong. DISH controls the RSPs; they may as well have badges. They serve at the leasure and financial benefit of DISH (just like any other DISH employee). If they ever become more expensive than they're...

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    Ok, let me dumb it down for you; you're deluded. There are only a handful of RSPs; with or without them, DISH would continue. You're on the payroll even if you aren't the Mirriam-Webster defintion of "employee". Your ass is owned lock, stock and barrel by DISH. You don't have to agree, but as...

    Dish Network CEO says label as America’s worst company to work for is “ridiculous”

    And then you wonder why DISH has so many business rules it's difficult to install a system without filling out everything in triplicate... If Charlie should have taught you one thing by now, it's that if you screw DISH, they're gonna pop a few Viagra and screw you harder, all morning and night...

    dish's star rating system.

    Yes, it's true, and it's separate from the retailer A B C rating system. It's basically a "quality of customer" classification. In other words, DISH got tired of all the people playing games and shopping for deals. The expectation always was that if you buy something, you pay for what you...

    DISH to hire 100 Customer Service Reps

    They don't have time to train. They're too busy babysitting users here... Besides, that center has over a thousand employees; DIRT is a handful of people.

    Open Letter to DISH Management Re: Lack of Manual Timer and No-VIP receiver policy on Hopper account

    You shouldn't be going through any departments at all. Customers, plural, of the multi-million numbering type are a concern. A few thousand squeaky wheels are not. Maybe it'll be considered for future models. But until then, you have a bit of a wait. Thanks for playing. DISH Management...
