This doesn't sound like the Dish Network (DN) I know.
This isn't DN. This is AT&T's bundled Dish deal. If they had service thru DN, this wouldn't even be a problem. In fact when I moved years ago Dish Network let me use DishMover and suspended (IE I didn't pay to turn off or turn back on, but was not billed for a couple of months) my service while I got situated and then reinstalled. I think I paid em a $5 a month just to keep my grandfathered East West Network feeds up, because if you turned em off you couldn't get them back.)

This is purely AT&T for ya... and a sign of how DN will be in the future if the rumored buyout does happen, most likely.

The houses being burnt down are worth millions. They can afford to pay the bill.
They have mortgages payments of multiple thousands a month. They still have to pay while fighting with insurance companies.

Maybe some can afford to pay, but I'm betting a lot can't. Especially as their cash is needed for temporary housing and so on atm.

Really it's of little point to the issue.

I mean your statement is no different then someone saying:

"AT&T is worth billions. Screw 'em. They can afford it." now isn't it?

Just depends who you feel sorry for more, I guess.

Immaterial. Every state has aspects that are not favorable, whether they're envionmental, economic, political, or social. We are just paying the price of the economic growth that benefited the entire country.

There's still beautiful places and people here. It's a great place to live, and I'm just tired of it being considered some sort of joke state by people who've never lived here.

I can say with a pretty good degree of certainty that any house in, say, Tokyo, no matter how small, is probably worth nearly a million dollars.

I can also tell you that those numbers are completely relative, and just because your house is worth a million doesn't mean you have a millionaire lifestyle. A million dollars is a lot more money if you live in Houston than if you live in NYC or LA. If I had to, I could probably find an $80,000 house here in the Houston area that I'd be happy to live in. I don't think I could find a cardboard box on a piece of lawn in all of Southern California for that amount of money.

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 rescind 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...
I wonder now, Why would AT&T want the Dish Network box back? I mean last I looked Dish Network is still owned by Echostar and AT&T hasn't bought either one of them as of yet. But then I own My HD Dish Network box outright, Although one time a rep from Dish Network did try and say that they owned It, Until I objected as I had a receipt from when I bought the box online, Then Dish looked It up and said I was right and apologized.

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.

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.
The houses being burnt down are worth millions. They can afford to pay the bill.
That shouldn't even factor into the equation. AT&T can wait, like all of their other debtors and leinholders, for homeowner's insurance to indemnify the policyholders.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19327740 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 10:24:47 EDT Re: That's just wrong..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19327729 BF69 :

At&t has BILLIONS of $ they can wait a few weeks for the insurance company to give them $300]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19327729 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 10:23:20 EDT Re: That's just wrong..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19327722 ptrowski :

You know this how?

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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19327690 Fri, 26 Oct 2007 10:16:24 EDT Re: That's just wrong..... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19327658 kcblack : I'll bet it cost them more than $300 in bad publicity...

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...
