Re: That's just wrong.....
said by Corona  :Sucks to go through it, but in theory, wouldn't homeowners insurance cover things like this? Sure but between the time AT&T and Dish want their cash, and the time the home owner gets a settlement check for the $300, she/he's out the $300.
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...

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.

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. |

Insurance doesn't pay the "worth" of the house it pays the cost to rebuild it and replace the items in it. |

It wouldn't change the fact that it is purely bad form to do business this way as the "corporate citizen."
AT&T / Dish make billions of dollars a year. They can afford the write-off. |

I was in Katrina. Charter cable sent us bills for months that their cable lines were down. I don't know what Cox did, but Charter didn't help too much. |

said by jjeffeory :From experience... The pay will not necessarily reflect that. So you know what houses cost just by the large area they are in? 
Unless someone shows me the address and the records of house sales on the same street, you can't tell me how much a house is worth just by looking at it or its location. |

| As a resident of SoCal, you'll be hard pressed to find even a piece of vacant land to build on worth less than $250,000.
On the other side, just because the house may be worth +$500,000, (most in SoCal are), doesn't mean that
A) People are rich (many spend +1 income just to pay mortgage and taxes)
B) They have money. Some may have bought the house back in the 90's or earlier for --
