I got my DISH Network bill in the mail recently and noticed that our monthly rate had crept up to a little over $70 dollars/mo, more than I would like to pay. We have one DVR, an HD box, regular reciever, America’s Top 60 with Local Channels and HBO. Not a bad deal, but still more than I want to pay. So I called DISH to cancel HBO since we rarely watch it.
I am on hold for 12 minutes
The call goes to India and I have trouble understanding the lady
They charge me a $5 cancellation fee
I am wondering at this point why they deserve my business, but I assume DirecTV is the same way. I know I do not like Comcast Digital Cable, so I am out of options.
Another annoying bit is that you can supposedly “manage” your account through Dish Networks website, but in reality you can only add programming, not remove it, so you are forced one way or another to call them.
