SO a rant and a question...
I have been feeding DISH.com for the last 17 years, They say. Was 1998 if i remember.
I get ZILCH for being a long time customer.
Its now up to $105/month...Half the stuff is garbage i dont even want to see. Price increase now, another $10.
...But the stuff i like is on the MORE money channels...of course.
Not like they didnt work out the profit to buy-in ratio.
I got all snotty at some poor phone worker, just now, after they turned off service for basically what amounts to a $10 'late' fee they charged for a bill i didnt get...but sent the previous months bill amount, to be safe...and spent 20min/2weeks ago telling another Dish worker over the phone. Attempting to lure me back with a $99/month bill.
...i did tell her i was sorry for being a jerk...after a 5min elevator music session...for what its worth.
It feels like the old mentality is a fixed crutch...and a cash cow.
I live out in the boonies...so not the best for HD antenna.
Marginal speed on the old internet, WiFi 14 miles away...
Feels like they have me by the balz.
I really like the old movies, like TCM.
And the latest science and syfy stuff that makes your mind go...WWHHHAAATTTT!!!!???? the heck.
Kinda feels like the internet is going more to the advertisers now too...just a BIG commercial.
Dont mind this old dying dinosaur,probably be better if i just used the TV at the gun range and got some old projects done.
