You should have retained the paperwork you signed at install. On it is the terms and conditions.
It is my understanding that the ETF is a fixed dollar amount multiplied by the number of months remaining on the agreement.
You should have retained the paperwork you signed at install. On it is the terms and conditions.So I switched from Directv to Dish Network 9 months ago. And I am not very happy with my decision at all. Part of it is because of Dish and part of it is because I didn't do my proper research. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
I received a letter in the mail from Directv that if I switched back they would pay my cancellation fees up to 200 dollars. So I thought might as well call into Dish and see just what my fee would be. They told me that an early termination for my account would be 420 dollars for my AT200 package, and because I signed up for HD free for life, another 240 dollars would be tacked onto that! So I would be looking at almost 700 dollars to cancel early! Why so ridiculously high? I was told when I signed up that it would be prorated to approximately 17 dollars a month per month left on my contract!
I am extremely mad at Dish now because I feel I was lied to about the terms of my contract. If these termination numbers are correct, I will stick out the contract, but once it's done, I'm gone and Dish will never see my business again!
Agreed 100%That may be but it's still a huge pain when your TV, internet and phone is all down because you have everything bundled and the cable company has an outage. No pay TV provider goes without outages or need of service. You just have to think of which one provides the best service and the fastest.
Regardless of having satellite or cable, I would still have an antenna though.
Just remember. When Sat service is interrupted, it's usually only a matter of minutes. With Cable, it could be a matter of hours...or days. Lightning in the area took my Mom's cable last year, 18 hrs to fix.
Get an antenna...best advice.
As Scott points out, fade happens sometimes with cable companies. Comcast in my area has problems with snow fade occasionally (and it rarely snows here) and a power outage anywhere along their line kills TV and Internet service from there on out as well.Well that's going to happen with any satellite provider, no way around it unfortunately.
I dropped Dish like a hot potato! I love comcast..
And Comcast will love you even more when your rates skyrocket.I dropped Dish like a hot potato! I love comcast..
This is OT, hahler2, but ever since I saw your name a few months back, I couldn't help but wonder if you are Bob Haller's brother. Bob had mentioned a while back that his brother was a member here. Are you the brother?
Just to clarify: If a customer has multiple commitments running simultaneously, he will only ever be charged 1 Early Termination Fee and it will default to the higher of the two. Example: New Cust 24 month commitment ($17.50 each month remaining) & HD Free for Life or DIU ($10.00 each month remaining) wants to cancel, only the New Cust Early Termination Fee will be assessed. I am sorry that you are unhappy with your Dish Network service hahler2, I understand a lot of your concerns. I wish they were problems that I could resolve for you. If I can be of service in any way, please let me know.
You can call and be out on their internal do not contact list. Also there is a website you can apply at for solicitation. I think it's www.dma.gov. You can google that though. It's free and will stop more than dish mailers. It will also stop other unwanted mailings.
And Comcast will love you even more when your rates skyrocket.
My rates will never sky-rocket... never Comcast rocks.
