Cancelled

Well, the numbers would suggest Dish is getting a lot of conversions from DirecTV as AT&T is losing hundreds of thousands of customers while Dish "only" lost a few tens of thousands. A significant number must have moved from DirecTV to Dish, given the overall trend of cord cutting.

It's been like this for about 2 years now - almost all new connects that aren't replacing an existing service are replacing DTV

I guess if there were such a thing as a bumper crop for us retailers, this would be it. I've resisted calling in help so far, but I'm starting to wear down a bit.

I can tell you this. Lately, almost ALL of my customers are much older than me (54). Cord cutting is a real thing for the younger generations

I honestly can't remember the last time I did an install for a 30 something or younger.

I can tell you that people are pissed off right now with AT&T U-verse.

It’s not just CBS, a lot of customers are coming off promotional pricing and AT&T refuses to extend the discounted rates.

As far as Dirt Network, surprisingly I am not getting very many customers calling that want to switch over. But I don’t think the reason for this is that people are happy with Dish, rather people Judy don’t have Dish anymore.

I’m seeing a very bad trend, been selling cable Tv for Comcast and Spectrum for 5 years now. People do not want satellite anymore, and less and less people want to get Directv.

Directv is becoming impossible to sell with the crappy footprint for AT&T internet and the fact that once you let customers know about the second year price they run away.

Right, so few people are switching to Dish that every tech in my company is working 6 days a week and Dish internals, whom normally work 4 days a week are on a 5 day schedule, and all Dish appointments are scheduled out 2 weeks! In 6 years, this is the busiest I've EVER seen it.

The next time you state something factual about Dish will probably be the first time....

Actually, a lot of people where I live have posted on Nextdoor about how Uverse is offering contract renewal pricing discounts again, at least to the Fiber customers.

We're all over 55 here but we do stream Netflix and Amazon Prime in addition to having Dish. And my roommates adore the Hopper (except when the guide information is screwed up and shows don't record properly).
