I left Dish because they would not waive a $60.00 fee to install an new dbs antenna that would get me locals. The locals were not available when I first signed up.
It will be nice when service providers stop waiving any fees for those that simply "bitch" and want it waived.

There are those that purchase the service and pay their monthly rates like everyone else for service provided. Then there are those that feel more important than the rest of us and "entitled" to something that the general public isn't.. Those people are the ones that help keep rates higher for the rest of us. Why? Does anyone think that those discounts come out of no where? nope. These discounts are an expense to the company and they have to come somewhere.

Everyone else, please thank these "I want it free" or "waive this or I am leaving" people in part for why your rates do go up in a competitive world.

I agree, but I place the blame squarely on the providers themselves. I'm fed up with "new customer" and "retention" deals. Why is paying a reasonable monthly price too much to ask?
