I keep getting AT&T out of my life and it comes back in another form.

Guess this means echo star will cease to function. Since AT&T bought out Cingular I’ve had more dropped calls in a week than I previously had in a year. Not to mention, AT&T has decided to add roaming charges if you even turn on your phone overseas.

Oh Charley! Say it isn’t so. Dish has good customer service and ATT has nonexistent customer service.

I thought Dish was privately held by Charlie Ergen.

When I moved into our home in Garland, TX AT&T owned the cable company. Lousy service and reception. Then Comcast bought them out. Worse service. I soon switched to DirecTV and never looked back. (Now TimeWarner owns the cable.)

I hate these stories. I have a crappy little phone company and a fair cable TV company that gives me a pretty good connection speed. I’m moving across town next year to a nicer, bigger new home and the cable company won’t run line out there. So my only choice is to go back to some slow DSL connection speed with the crappy little phone company.

Probably a good thing- better than a Directv and Dish merger.

Echo Star my ass!

I just want AT&T to give my neighborhood the high speed access (DSL) we were promised as part of the BellSouth buyout. Supposed to happen by last July. Uh-huh.

Does Dish have any say in this at all?

AT&T’s acquisition of TCI sure worked out, didn’t it. Don’t they ever learn?

This would be a great merger and help Echostar improve HDTV offerings as well as other services.
