I'm saving $5 for 12 months

[thbjr]

I called Dish last month to complain about the $5 a month subscription increase. The CSR told me that while there was a price increase, that it was offset by the free movie channels they were giving free for 12 months. I told him that I wanted that (movie channels) offer turned off so that I wouldn't have to do it later to avoud charges for them, since I never watch movies. After looking at my account, he agreed and offer a $5 a month credit for 12 months in place of the movie channels. So I just got this months bill and sure enough, no $5 increase (due to the $5 credit promised).
So if you don't want the free movies, call and ask for the $5 credit in place of them.

Kind of unrelated, but I just had a "talk" with Qwest about upping my internet from 7 to 20MB. The CSR told me that all of their plans were "price for life" - then proceded to tell me that it meant that I'd pay $50/month indefinately, unless they raised their prices down the road. lol

I know, I know..... completely off topic. It just got me thinking when Dish raised their prices.

I don't believe the QWEST CSR.

Which part don't you believe? the "price for life" or the "price for life unless they raise prices down the road" ... or at least that's how *i* read it..
