Ouch 625.00 early temination fee

[dishfan82]

So dish is telling me since I have hd free For life, movie pass dha and ecl commitments that my termination fee is 625.00. Does anyone know if this amount is right? So basically if it is, they make it impossible to get out early without paying that crazy fee.

Does that include an additional termination fee from a dealer? It is higher than Dish charges.

how much time is left on your contract? 23 months? lol

That does sound on the higher end. Just keep in mind, if you are looking at switching check out what promo prices are after the promo is complete.

They just said oops my mistake its 225.00.

Judging by that price you are wanting out over a year early. Any particular reason why? Just keep in mind, the grass is not always greener on the other side, and if it is, chances are there's a septic tank underneath.

Depends on date of contract. He is obviously at $15.00. Do the math.

Shouldn't it be $17.50 per month? It could be something was added for HD free for Life since you are still under contract.

While you do have to choose what's best for you and your viewing, just keep an eye on what the price might be.

Be sure to check out the cable rates after 6 months or 12 months, often they skyrocket.

Sorry....moving anywhere being down $225 is a dumb move.

Unless someone else is paying it for you.

Glad this was taken care of. If you want me to confirm this, please feel free to send me a PM. The ETF is determined by the highest cancellation fee out of any of the commitments you are in.

If it's Comcast, he can call and threaten to cance, and they'll give him another promo deal for 6 or 12 months. I did that for years when I was on Comcast.

I am going to run out of contract with Dish on march...
DO I need to do something?
I mean, I don't want another contract, if I do nothing I will be billed month by month?
Or they somehow make an automatic contract renewal?
I don't want another contract...

It's a commitment based on a service. It doesn't renew. A new one doesn't start unless you add a new box or upgrade a box.
