Why I loathe Dish Network

It’s my official stance now. Dish Network is the most loathsome of entities. Their marketing tactics have absolutely gone so over-the-top that I would never use their services simply due to their lack of ethics.

From what I understand, Dish Network allows resellers all over the world to market their products and services. No matter how many times I threaten, or try to reason, or even send letters I cannot get the telemarketers out of India to stop calling my on my home telephone to try and sell me the Dish Network system. I am absolutely on the Do Not Call list. Do you know what the telemarketers do if you inform them about your DNC status or ask politely to be taken off their call lists” They hang up on you. 100% of the time. I can list in detail over two dozen calls from Dish Network from two dozen individual representatives where the reaction to my statement of being on the DNC list was to simply hang up. Often times, I would get an additional call or two that very same day.

My ex husband’s last name is Arabic sounding. So, we were forever getting Dish Network mailings at our prior address where the mailings were totally in Arabic, save for the Dish Network logo and return address.

Today, I got a Dish Network mailing totally in Chinese! Why? Because the shortened version of my first name looks Asian. So, I have apparently been sorted into their Chinese database. Will I now begin getting calls from telemarketers who speak Mandarin?

When will it end? My guess is that it will not.

If you have any respect for yourself and your dignity whatsoever, I urge you to boycott Dish Network as well. They obviously think very little of the American consumer. Why should we think anything but the same of them?
