I can't think of a worse Company I ever dealt with in any purchase item or service from a company in my life time. I could not wait till my contract was up to get rid of having to deal with them. What a nightmare glad I am done with them. It is over yet so sending their crap back and getting their finally bill still may be a nightmare waiting to happen.

I'm not close enough to get but three channels sometimes. If I didn't have a wife I would cut the cord to all TV. I can get all the news I need from internet.

I was warned about dish when I was wanting to switch from cable.

Ended up with Star link internet and sling for tv. It's been great and 40 dollars a month cheaper for the pair.

I was told the same thing about dish when I needed to find a provider. At the time my internet provider didn't have an unlimited plan for internet and living in fly over country I was limited for options.

Now I have some more option and I couldn't get rid of dish fast enough. Been a miserable two years poorest service and product I have ever witnessed.

We kicked them to the curb years ago. All I know is that it got stupid expensive.

Couldn't tell ya what we have now. I don't watch the idiot box. Don't even know how to use the remote.

Yeah I had ATT u-verse and internet for probably 15 years. It got too expensive to justify after I retired, so I killed both and went with a local fiber supplier and signed up for YouTubeTV. Both are costing less monthly than just the u-verse cost.
Coupled with some live feed and streaming apps I added to my firestick, I can watch anything and everything from newly released series, movies and European live TV.

We have direct TV. They are constantly calling trying to sell you something to add on. Never heard of YouTube TV. Might have to check them out.

It’s amazing what these companies get away with they always have some angle, you get the cheap offer then the games start until they burn those bridges. The phone companies, car companies and SiriusXM all do it.

I’ve had my AT&T phone for a couple of years now I tried to pay it off but you can’t pay it off when you get it “free” ? Now 2 years later I switched to Consumer Cellular I some owe them $41 dollars still to unlock the old phone even though the quit taking out for it over a year ago.

We need to stop believing the ads and search the reviews more.

I passed on the SiriusXM $4 a month offer it looked good until you read the fine print you’re just setting yourself up to be shafted down the road in several ways. Don’t renew they let you run over no warning then pay some inflated 2week usage fee or the try to lock you in with the auto renew full price I’m sure that’s negotiable they like to play games.

Or, some of these trial offers for stuff you see on tv. If you read the small print at the bottom of the screen or I should say if you can read it, it says you agree for them to send you the product every month. That's the price you pay for trying the trial offer. Omega XL is one example.

If the stuff was so good, wouldn't they be selling it in stores?

Even onX pulls this stuff.
A couple months ago I decided to try onX, it was $1.00 to try for one week, if you didn't cancel by the end of the week you were charged $34.99.
onX didn't work for my particular application, so towards the end of the week I went on-line to unsubscribe, of course there was no obvious way to figure out how to unsubscribe on their website. Tried calling them, of course it was after business hours, then it was closed on the weekend.
Finally got a hold of them over a week from initial signup, the guy I talked to was very helpful and unsubscribed me and refunded my $35. He admitted that it is pretty hard to unsubscribe on-line.

I think it a sign when you can’t find a way to contact a phone company or any business I find going to their social media page the complaining will get the best customer support it sad you need t do that but it’s necessary to get results.

I don’t do auto pay except on my monthly bills. Even with Onx I call in for 1 year contract they are great about it they will even late start your renewal to get most out of it if you don’t use it in the summer months.
