He already indicated that they agreed to waive the $95 installation fee. He wasn't able to talk them out of the $100 fee for the Hopper 3.
Sorry. Do the same for the $100 Hopper. It costs Dish at least $600 every time they lose a customer. If you don't threaten to cancel, you will have to pay.

2018 Programming Rates | MyDISH | DISH Customer Support

Here are the 2018 updated rates. I don't see the Multi-Sport pack, HBO, Cinemax, etc, so I assume those are all the same.

Thanks for the link. My core programming is going up from 74.99 (including locals) to 89.99 including locals. That’s 15 bucks more.. not including the new customer discount of 15/month and a refer a friend discount of another 10 that’s set to expire in a few month.

That’s a potential 40 increase vs what I pay now assuming no new discounts are applied just in the core package. My time with Dish may be vastly coming to an end with that increase.

Yikes.

On my price lock, it says the regular cost of AT200 is 74.99.. then breaks it down by package 64.99 and locals 10.00. I started the price lock before they separated the locals out tho.

Same here but I they don’t know if that would still include the increase in locals. I’m sure there’s a good chance we will at least see that $2 increase. We won’t know until January. I just got a letter about it. In Wisconsin here we can cancel service due to price increase without ETF. Would still have to pay $15 per shipping box to return equipment.

Actually, it costs Dish about $780 to bring in a brand new customer to replace a cancelled customer. Sales costs, installer fees, equipment, etc.


Subscriber Acquisition Cost
Market Realist
That’s to gain a new customer, whether one is lost or not, so there is no money lost on an old subscriber. Just future revenue, but nothing lost.

We’re you good at comprehension? Again, lost revenue, and lost investments are two separate things. A new customers costs X dollars to pay the investment back to acquire them. A customer who has paid his investment back over the years, leaving, does not affect the SAC. They are two completely unrelated numbers.

I would hope that they would keep the locals the same price until the price lock ended.. but 2$ isn’t make or break. However.. the jump from 74.99 to 89.99 is what is make or break for me.

The bubble is eventually going to burst.

I’m not so sure. As an example, ATT never reduced the price of landline service when cellphone use exploded. In fact they raised prices. As more and more people switch to streaming services, satellite will continue it’s downward spiral into obselescense just like landline telephones, eventually pricing everyone out of the game and into other services. People in rural areas like me will hold on to it as long as we can, absorbing the price increases, until even we find other options. That’s my theory.
