oo7565,
I don't think these forums were designed and meant to be used for announcements so frivolous like this.
If you decide to go, then go. There's no need to make a PUBLIC and FORMAL announcement of your intentions, unless they can have an effect on all of us.
Good luck with Qwest TV.

oo7565,
I hope your new choice offers you lots of joy.
I also hope they offer some educational programming such as grammar 101 and typing 101.

Dont take it out on me that your leaving dish.. No one cares these forums are not meant for bashing like that and every one could care less about witch service provider you choose. Yes Choose. Everyone has there quams about dish network... hell every provider sucks! Comcast is worst.. Im sure some one will find a reason to gripe about fiber... The reason why these forums are here is to help not to discurage. im sure if you do a search on sucks you will find a hell of alot of people saying that there provider sucks.. but its all a choice. I have found dish network to be the best value out there. Direct's prices are higher... NFL ST is crazy.. Comcast has no HD... and i havent found a provider yet that has to match dishes offerings with a lower or same price. Some times the grass isnt greener on the other side but if it is then god speed and good luck with your new service provider..

Well said! I often wonder why there are so many posts by former E* customers on this forum. You would think that since they left, they would be happy not to think about Dish anymore
Instead they keep posting about how great it was to leave! Really, now, why bother?
I do like hearing people complain about the fact they don't get free service calls etc.... because here I can explain to them that it is not fair to those of us who know how to use the equipment.
People tend not to undertand they are paying for channels, not for their equipment to work!
True, I have had to tell two CSRs what the rules were for charging the transaction fee, but, I just asked for the supervisor, then they came back saying I was right.
My only complaint is that I have heard too many times about people getting free service calls, without commitment, from customer retention. That is not fair to the nice person who buys the warranty and pays for the service call.
But, that mess goes on everywhere!
I have a friend who calls Comcast every few months, when his promotion is running out, and tells them his is going to D*, so they will reset the account with another promotion, instead of making him pay full price.

Well I don't know about you, but Comcast here ( metro Detroit ) is great, lots of HD-(all locals, Discovery, ESPN, TNT, InHD 1 and 2, HBO, Max, and also Showtime and Starz which I do not sub to and they are about to add Universal and ESPN 2).
My parents are from the Metro Detroit area and Comcast Sucks in their area - they would have ditched service if they weren't getting ready to move. I guess a lot depends on an individuals viewing habits and even more depends on the local cable plant, etc.bruce said:
I guess you don't see anything wrong with the nice people who pay full price getting treated unfairly while those who call and complain getting stuff for free. Yes, they do have it in thier power to disconnect his account, but do they? NO.andrewe77 said:
I see unfairness to nice people in that situation. Maybe I'm wrong.

Never could figure out why people have to post when they are leaving. If you are leaving for whatever reason, that is your right. I don’t think someone on here can change if you want to leave.
I had Dish for 5 years (still have locals) but I went to ExpressVu & now StarChoice. I don’t remember saying “I’m leaving Dish because they don’t have the CBC or NHL Network”. I quietly got ExpressVu and downgraded Dish to just locals (for the cabin) and now have StarChoice.
If you must have the Tennis channel and someone carries it, by all means go to it. Nobody is stopping you from changing. I wanted NHL Network so I got StarChoice

You have a very smart friend. I didn't realize C* did this. If I am still with them at the end of my 16 month promo period, I will attempt the same thing.miguelaqui said:
