Dish Network Billing Is Totally Borked!
Kayla writes:My Husband and I called Embarq for a bundle pack with dish network in April of 2007.

Dish Network Refuses To Leave You Alone After Cancellation
Recently I canceled my service with Dish Network.

Now Dish Network calls me LITERALLY every day trying to get me to sign up again. I explain my situation every time and they treat me with disgust, as if I am making up some elaborate story because I don't have the guts to tell them I hate their service.

Reader Ryan called the Dish Network three weeks before moving to disconnect his service. Dish graciously offered to send prepaid return boxes for his equipment, but instead of sending them to Ryan's new address, Dish sent them to his old address. Three times.

DISH Runs Away With Spoon of Injustice
John has a right to be pissed, he worked in consumer electronics customer service after all, so it's all the more galling when Dish Network treated him poorly this weekend, asking him to pay for shipping for a new tuner to replace the one he just replaced not a month ago. More »

Dish Network Charges For MIA Satellite Boxes
Remember the poor sucker who racked up $1800 dollars worth of phone bills when his isolated Tivo phoned home? A reader wrote in, mentioning that the Dish Network Satellite Service also has to phone home for updates. So you just disconnect the phone line, right? Wrong. More »
