DISH NETWORK - Dish Network TV's customer service is abysmal.

The satellite stopped working at precisely 6:30 pm on Friday, JUST as the opening ceremony for the started.We were told that it would be Thursday before a tech could come out.

They say they are the world leaders in sat TV: tell me it isn't so!!!! I wouldn't mind so much but the sat TV had gone out the previous Friday and we had to wait until Monday for it to be fixed. I called Dish this morning and was told Thursday was the closest they could come out. I asked for a phone number to talk to somebody else up the and was told that there was an address I could write to but no number.
If Dish is a world leader then why is the waiting list for service, so long?

Is it because they are so popular that customers are lining up to buy their product OR because the product is NOT world class?

Hmmm.....
I had thought of changing to but others were having the same problem as me.Is there any alternative to these 2 companies? 313baca

I was told by the salesman that it was a rumor the cable started that service went out everytime it rained. I ordered Dish and the cable company is correct, EVERYTIME it rains service goes out. First time it went out I was told 15 days to fix, Second time it went out, I had to wait 3 1/2 weeks for service to get to my house. Trying to talk to their customer service sucks. Dish has the WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE in the entire world. I finally searched the internet and found the exective offices and sent them email after email until I finally got my service back. Nobody should have to wait over three weeks for service.

I JUST got off the phone with them just now, boy am i pissed!!! After looking at all their packages, NONE had all the channels i needed, just a bunch of ***, and LOADS of *** music channels no one watches. Okay so i get playboy which the kis cant watch, but no nickelodeon... if i want nickelodeon woopty doo i HAVE to pay for a more expensive package??!!! Sooooo.... i asked dish network customer support if i could pay for the package wich had most channels i needed, and switch the crappy channels i don't watch for some that i would watch and they said you can't do that. MF it's MY money, i can do whatever the *** i want. Sooo... i put them on blast and asked,,,, so basically what you're saying is i have to pay for a package that i don't want. And the guy sais, well, you don't have to do anything. Really.... that's it? no i'm sorry mam, no let me get my manager, nothing. So i told that ahole to suck it and hung up! SCREW DISH!!!!!!!!!!!

WE HAD DISH NETWORK FOR MANY YEARS. AFTER WE RETIRED THE DUE DATE WAS NOT A GOOD TIME FOR US SO I TRIED TO CHANGE IT. NO NO. THERE WAS ALWAYS A LATE FEE THAT I COULD NOT HELP. I ASK WHAT COULD I DO TO PAY THIS BILL OFF. THEY NEEDED $9.18. I SENT IT AND TOLD THEM TO DISCONNECT, THEY SAID I NEEDED TO PAY $19.??. SO I DID. ABOUT THAT SAME TIME I GOT A BILL FOR $187.99 I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS ONLY $40.00 THEN I GOT AN AUTOMATED CALL TELLING ME I NEEDED TO PAT THE $18.00 NOW AND ANOTHER $40.00 BY THE END OF THE MONTH. AFTER MANY MANY CALL AND MY DAUGHTER TALKING TO THEM I HAD TO PAY $22.00. NOT HAPPY!!!

As far as cable tv goes they ain't too bad. Good reception, tv never goes out.... BUT their Internet & landline phone service is AWFUL!
You can buy the monthly service protection but they STILL won't help

Customer Service is horrible with Comcast! Their TV receprion
Is not bad though.
