Dish Network

Is anyone besides myself tired of false advertising from companies???

I am so tired of encountering this problem.  You would think that companies would just be honest.  I live just inside the permissible perimeter to have AT&T's DSL service.  And I am so tired of paying for their highest speed DSL and having very little signal - of course, that will be another post!

Anyway, I kept seeing Dish Network's commercial concerning their broadband service.  I had seen the commercial several times, but decided to pay close attention.  We have Dish Network for the television and have been quite happy with it.  So, I paid strict attention to one of the commercials concerning the Internet service.  Five times during the commercial, they say "Where ever you live."  That is their big pitch - that they reach rural areas where there is no other option for Internet.

So, I thought - great.  This would be a viable option.  Just add Internet to our television service.  So, I called Dish.  I told them that I was interested in seeing how much Internet service would add to my current bill and they took my address, put me on hold for a moment, and then came back and politely stated, "We don't provide service in that area."

Excuse me, what happened to where ever you live?  I sent them an email addressing this and was told, in a return email some time later, that they are currently working to expand services.  But, as of this time, service is not available in my area.

Guess it is my fault - should have realized that my address is not "Where ever."

Your thoughts?
