$10 mo for 6 mo offer to stay with DISH vs $764 if I move to Direct TV - which one would you take?

DISH is looking for someone they can buy with their booty of bandwidth.

I sorry but that sentence should be the post of the week."

More like a marriage and a dowry than a booty. That would make Dish the wife.

I left DISH in June of 2014 and endured phone calls and mail flyers for about six months and then they finally stopped. In fact I cannot recall how long it has been since I got any junk mail from either sat company or retailer. I was a happy DISH customer until I was moved to the Eastern Arc, and constant signal outages that their techs could not solve. If they had I would still be with them, but I am now with Charter and very happy with their service that is bundled with phone and Internet.

That's why it isn't a dowry. Marriage assumes some level of equality. Charlie is not looking for an equal partner; he's in acquisition mode.

Depends on the marriage.
