It wasn't unreasonable. After the first few go-arounds with customer service and being told I would spend $$ more and $$ more per month for receiver fees ---I had already looked into other options that were far cheaper and more convenient for me. By the time the $50/month credit was made, it...

I called to cancel. They offered $50/month discount for 12 months and said the credits would more than cover the cost of the new equipment i need and would pay the monthly bill increases. I cancelled and moved to youtube TV. Has gone well so far, and it's far cheaper.

Dish wants $149 for the wally (up-front) for my shop, $10 for each joey up-front, and I was told my monthly "device fees" would increase from $22 to $36 monthly. I'm not going to upgrade anything.

will reach out to Dish to see what they have to say/offer. as for own/lease - made the choice for personal reasons. Mostly with the VIP211 because i used to use this extensively: Nextcom R5000-HD - Wikipedia It required me to open/tweak hardware and i didn't want to do that with leased...

somehow, i've gotten my subscription to bill me about $13/month for 2 vehicles. Been like that for well over a year now. I see the charges monthly, and i check my account. I still get offers for free echo dot $5/month for 6 months as I have another radio that i haven't used in years, but it's...

I still have 3x VIP211 and a VIP722K all happily working.

I've never had dish do that or offer to do it. Several times, I've done online chat to verify serial numbers are clean/clear, and then the box shows up and it "has a balance" or is "active on another account." I've argued with CSR reps and provided copies of all saved chat transcripts to get...

There are no bandwidth requirements for meraki hardware or meraki management traffic. Management traffic is extremely minimal. (source) Cisco does idiotic things from time to time, but a router with a minimum internet connection to function would be ridiculous. Now -- One thing this could...

I can't think of a single (technical) reason for such a requirement or feature. Disclaimer: my dayjob is systems engineering at Cisco.
