This is an easy one...Report your address to Dish with the other zip code...Tell them it was a mistake and you have always had the other zip code....If it the same city, you're good to go....
There are software tools nowadays that "verify" full, proper addresses. If Dish uses that, they won't allow him to give them a bogus address. With their distant network fiasco, they might be more strict about these kind of things now too.
No one seems to "get it" though but as you say, a line has to be drawn somewhere. In 90% of cases, it's a non-issue. Only when this imaginary line affects someone personally does it come up.
Why ?? Because of that imaginary line drawn down the middle of Union Blvd.If?...That's an if..I can't live in a world of "what if"...At this point the best course of action IMO is to try it and let the chips fall where they may..Besides, it's not a bogus address ..It's an error....
That's when I dump the landline and get mobile phones..Or I just run across the street and knock on the door....No one seems to "get it" though but as you say, a line has to be drawn somewhere.

Speaking of this, my in-laws live in an apt complex. It's in the 800 block of Union Blvd in a nearby city. Their daughter moved into an apt complex across the street and up one block, the 900 block of Union Blvd. Guess what ?? One side of the street was GTE phone service and the other side was Ameritech. It was a long-distance call for them to call each other !!
