Re: That's just wrong..... Sucks to go through it, but in theory, wouldn't homeowners insurance cover things like this? |

| I'm sure it would, so they'll eventually get reimburse for it, but until then, they want their money right away so they have to fork it over.

So instead of buying some replacement clothes, or a few nights in a motel room, they're stuck paying this garbage bill.
AT&T are going to get some seriously bad press out of this, and sure they'll recind the fee, but that's not the point.
Just more proof AT&T totally sucks the root.
At least now I know to stay away from Dish network as well.
What a bunch of ass hats...

Yes, it should. If they owned the equipment it wouldn't be a problem.

Shouldn't matter what that house costs since cost of living is different all over the country. While that same house may cost $250,000 where I live, it may cost more where they live but their pay will reflect that too. |

AT&T can wait, like all of their other debtors and leinholders, for homeowner's insurance to indemnify the policyholders. |

Such sweet people from New Jersy, but then I suppose it takes an A$$hole to live there............... 
This doesn't sound like the Dish Network (DN) I know. Look at what DN did after Hurricane Katrina. They flooded the area with service trucks and got their customers up an running real fast, they even installed DN systems in shelters. I'll bet you they were dealing with an AT&T billing agent in India, or The Philipines, going by a script, or some low paid butt munch State side, who would get strangled in any other line of work.

Actually I wonder if hazard insurance would cover it or not since the policy holder doesn't actually own the equipment. |

They can afford to pay the bill. I disagree. Most if not all people around here are barely able to afford their homes, so they barely scrape by in the other parts of their lives. Just because the house is worth millions, doesn't mean they are millionaires. The wages here are probably the lowest in the US relative to the cost of living. |

Homeowners won't cover rented equipment. And AT&T is, like most large corporations, self-insured up to about 100's of millions to a billion dollars. So, if the people don't pay, AT&T eats the loss.

"The houses being burnt down are worth millions. They can afford to pay the bill."
Insurance doesn't pay the "worth" of the house it pays the cost to rebuild it and replace the items in it. |

I did some research, and I don't believe you are correct. Check your homeowner's policy under Coverage C. There might very well be a provision in it to cover the property of others while it is on your premises. I found a specific example, but I'm reluctant to share my employer's proprietary information. |
