They are the worst the unorganized ugly set up the cost for what you get. I switched from directv and regretted every second if it sprinkled it went out the remote is horrible it's hard to fast forward I canceled these people and they won't get another dime from me I don't care if I broke contract. Don't switch to them you will regret it
At a time when American's is looking out for each other and trying to stay home you deprive your customers of viewing free HBO without a replacement. It's obvious that you don't care anything about your customers, maybe your customers should be as heartless and say goodbye.
You better hope direct TV is doing what you're doing. If i will be with Direct TV next month
Just cancelled my service after 2 months of service. I prefer to pay the required $476 fee than to do business with a dishonest business. Dish Network sent me a mailer offering a $100 dollar Visa card to become a new customer. They said it would take 6 to 8 weeks for me to get the card. After talking to them two months later, their management called me a liar. They said that the offer had expired and I was not telling them the truth. They are a business that does false advertisement to get customers. This experience has been horrible and distressful to me and my family. Today is November 21,2019 one week before Thanksgiving. Hope they can enjoy stealing our money. We will never do business with them again.
I have been having dish for years because of my parents, but I regret it.
1. They give you one amount and later charge you another.
2. They put you in long contracts for 2-3 years and prices go up.
3. Do not do automated payments because they will be taking more than agreed from your account and will charge all kinds of fees.
4. One time I was making a payment and during the transaction I received a call. So I went back and continue my payment. When I look at my account I noticed that I had 2 payments made to dish 2 minutes apart. I did not click submit payment the first time for it to go through. I called to request a refund and they refused.
5. My money was taken out my account without my permission for a delayed payment. That's not right. I could have paid the fees myself, but they did not had the right to take again refused to returned my money.
I have been very unsatisfied with Dish Latino service.
We had been a customer for over 22 years and now we left because of price hikes. Dish reps always say thank you for being a valued member for over 22 years blah blah blah. I returned the equipment and then they send an email stating the equipment was overdue and were charging me and additional $438.
You are forced to call them or use their chat, they do not accept email, however they can email you. The email they send you will not accept incoming email. How hypocritical and it makes me wonder how this may violate the American with Disabilities Act.
I notified the Colorado attorney general (Colorado is Dish's HQ), and FCC and low and behold got their customer retention department's attention. If you ever have a problem notify your US Senator's office.
If I could give them ZERO stars I would. Horrible customer service! If you want to overpay for satellite tv and have nothing but problems... then, by all means, sign up with Dish. The biggest mistake I've made in a long time!
I paid their every increasing prices long enough. Finally my husband and I cancelled with Dish. We were charged for terminating our agreement early - an agreement that we didn't even know we had. We had been customers over 25 years. In the middle of disputing this charge - they sent our account to Collections! I had never been late on a bill, I had just not paid the termination fee yet as I was asking for clarification. Thanks so much Dish for dinging my exemplary credit report.
These people are harassing customers that are past due at a time when everyone is trying to survive this covid-19. After I cx their service they have the gull to send someone at my house to pick up equipment. Just unbelievable, money is all they care about. They Sell you a package when you get your bill it's outrageous.
I have been a loyal customer for around 8 years. They didnt even attempt to give me any money back while missing one of the main channels. I waited 4 months to see if they would do the right thing ethically and credit my account. They didn't, I had to call them. Clearly putting profits ahead of customer value. They lost me as a customer, can't wait to sign up with Directv
Always lose service and they missed both appointments I made. Worst service ever and when you call, the representatives barely speak English so you can't understand them. Love watching a movie and right when you get into it it cuts off. Do not ever get dish
I was quoted 79.00 for a year. They tried to take a payment off my card it was decline so they raised my price to 124.00. I wanted to pay at a store and not have them take it from my credit card. You should have a choice to pay how you want too. Dont get sucked in. Always ask questions.
Sales rep promised Dish would work with my smartTV. It does not work with LG smartTVs. That in and of itself didn't make me mad, I thought, easy mistake. But when I called a couple days after installation to say "yeah, it doesn't work like you said it would, I'll need to cancel" they informed me that even though the product could not do what they said it could, they would still charge me $400+ in early termination fees to cancel. Are you kidding me? How has no one taken these guys to court yet? I'm stuck with a product I can't use for a year. If you are thinking of buying, Don't do it! It's not worth the risk, something goes wrong-even on their end-and they will stick it to you. There is no desire to be fair or make the customer happy.
When i called because i lost my signal 2 weeks in a row due to rain and wanted to cancel they sent out a technician to check to make sure the satellite was working properly. It was. I called again to let them know I was not happy with the service and I wanted to cancel it... I was LESS THAN 1 MONTH in on the contract and they wanted to change me early termination fees. I find that ridiculous. I had direct tv for 7 years and a handful of times did i lose signal. Here in the qst 2 weeks I lose it twice and they won't cancel the contract without the 400 or more in early termination fees. If you want to get this service I would recommend checking with neighbors and friends in your area and make sure they don't lose their signal to weather, drive around look for dishes if you're not seeing them don't get it. It is not worth the headache.
I have been a Dish Network customer many years ( est. 12-14 yrs). About 8 months ago, the receiver went to "receiver heaven" in our living room. Called and they sent a replacement that was a little different from the older, broke one which we returned in their box. But this new receiver is "JUNK". And now after 6 or 8 Dish Network techs have been out here, the piece of junk STILL has the same problem ( looses signal).
If I was not married I would jerk this junk out and off my house and shoot it with a shotgun, bc it is pure jJUNK... made In Mexico.
My advice to anyone is DONT BUY DISH NETWORK & think hard before you get married!
:)
My mother was moving to another state so she called the numbers from the local phonebook, called 5 numbers till she got one that would help her, none of them offered to give the number she needed and one said she would disconnect her now if she called her again and hung up on her. Mom only called her once and the woman was rude to her. Mom got to her new place, they didn't show up or call. She made another appt and they came and hooked the TV up but the next day it stopped working, that was 2 weeks ago. We left messages with the guy and received no response back. We are sending equipment back and going with Spectrum. Hopefully they won't be as rude as Dish. Dish has gotten rude and uncaring!
A business that talk bad about similar business... I mean. Dish and Direct TV are pretty much the same thing. I called to get info. After listening to the good stuff I asked about. You know. The catch. So the told about the contract for two years... So because I am moving all the time I said NO, thanks. Guess what... still charged my card. And it was annoying hearing all that crap about "we are better than direct tv" which I think that. Today. I dont feel like having any channel service.
By this time next year, I will not have Dish. No NBC, and just before Christmas they took away Hallmark when I watched it before. No cut in bill tho. Hate Dish.
Dish network sent my bill to my old address then, added a late fee. I called and they admitted to the error but didn't deduct late fee.
I disputed it with the credit bureau and won.
Some people don't realize you can contest a fee and have some protection with consumers rights.
Dish network signs me up for 2 years less than two weeks ago. For the first year it is suppose to be one set price ($24.99 in my case), then the next year price goes up accordingly. I have had dish for exactly 2 weeks. They charged me the initial price of $24.99 and then raised the price on the next months bill to $29.99. This was suppose to be an 12 month promotion, not a two week promotion. Customer "NO SERVICE" said they could raise the rate on there customers at anytime, and the sign up promotion did not mean anything past the initial month. I told her that her company could not change a contract, she said that they could change the terms whenever they see fit. She then hung up on me. Please consider this lovely women (K49N Aorina in Texas) before you elect to go with dish network
I had Dish for a time and then I closed out and my service was stopped in a matter of a day or less. Then I got a bill for the next month. When I inquired they said they had switched carriers and that I had to do it through Sprint. I called Sprint and got run around and around and around and back to Dish and back to Sprint and this went on for HOURS per day for a couple of weeks. I thought I was going to have a stroke at times. One time I literally told my story through FIVE transfers and the fifth guy actually knew just whom I needed to speak to and transferred me to... the first guy. This went on and on and finally Dish said it was okay, forget about it. Understand, my SERVICE was disconnected all this time. One person felt so bad she put me back to the CEO office and the exec only wanted to talk about WHO let me get back there to him and, yes, it made perfect sense to him that they could understand my disconnect notice well enough to cut off my service but still charge me.
About 5 years later I moved and tried to get Dish installed. They had me for TWO months back bill... they never had fixed it like they said. So, me being an easy going trick, sighed, Okay... and I paid the 129.00 that they were stealing from me for two serviceless months. Then the guy told me I'd have to pay a 100.00 (99.99) installation fee because I was, "delinquent."
I was a teacher and I taught quality and used examples like Netflix: GOOD company and Dishnet: AWful company. Sued in 48 states and lost every one. Whatsa matter? Couldn't screw Alaska and Hawaii?!
Answer: I contacted this states general attornies office and in close to a week Dish network has contacted me and released me from the contract. If they would have only held up their end of the agreement then they would have had a customer for life, not for just a few weeks.
The overall reputation of the company is significantly marred by persistent customer dissatisfaction, primarily stemming from issues related to service reliability, unexpected price increases, and poor customer support. Many customers express frustration over frequent service interruptions and complications with billing, including unauthorized charges and difficulties in resolving disputes. While a minority of reviews highlight positive experiences with customer service and competitive pricing compared to competitors, these sentiments are overshadowed by widespread complaints about the company's practices and perceived lack of care for customer needs. This feedback suggests a pressing need for the company to enhance its service reliability and customer communication strategies.
