When i signed up for dishnetwork internet they never told me about limited data usage and now ATT&T with unlimited data of internet usage is in my area for the (SAME PRICE) but a few months ago when they didn't have lines in my area. i signed a 2 full contract with dish for $39.00 a month for only 5.gb of internet usage in primetime and 5mbs of data aftter 2.am till 8.am local time. like that helps right. let me tell you everything you load even a web page uses data usage, the real eater is internet radio and youtube videos that must be downloaded in temp files on your computer taking lets say 40mb a shot for a video. and 60mb for every song you listen to on the internet radio when I run out of data usage I can't do anything on the internet it downloads at 10kbps and 1kbps upload which is  5 times slower then the 56kbps for dial-up if i get dial-up i repeat after I use all my internet data usage from my ISP dish network my internet run exactly 5 times slower then 1990's dial up services and please note I know my computers and the more adds a webspage has the more data usage is used like say 128k sometims in the mb's or for to click on one web link or navagate a web page. a shot 1,000 megabytes take up 1 gigabye and I only get 10 and only 5 gigabyes from when your local clock says 8am till 2am next day.   you are forced to pay this service for 2 years and if you download a game off a website like sims 3 or sims 2 or sports game that uses 5 gigabyes right there and then your stuck with 1980's internet speeds for exactly 10 kilobytes per second note for the rest of the month.

 

there are 1000 kilobyes in 1 mega bite of data and most of the time you pay for 3 megabits per second and only get 510 kilibytes per second. and as of 4-14-2014 i have to wait till next month to ever listen to internet radio or watch youtube videos and download anything if i have windows updates i wont be able to install them unless i leave my computer on 24 hours. all I can do is slowly browse the web. and games are not an option with dishnetwork service and this is the best worst thing about them. no online gaming is playable with dish pings are in the 1000's for doom for example so if you got dish you (can't) play (any) online games all you can do is troll them only screw with online servers till they kick your slow butt off even with a full head of data usage. with ping in the thousands your computer man can't move and slows other players down too and makes them mad because, well I guess if you like to make people mad or get mad dish is the service for you. no pun intended.

 

you can pay $10.00 for an extra 10 gigabyte of  internet usage and still sacrafice gaming.

 

for 2 or three mega bits faster but that what they say not true more like 810kbps but you can get a better deal using wired services don't choose dish unless you never do any downloading uploading gaming youtube videos online radio, or any type of streaming including hulu netflix and for a family god you will run out of data after 4 days every month and then have to wait to use it 4 days if used  nonstop next month this includes no cell internet usage either. or wii station xbox and a web page with lots of adds on it.

 

note internet radio use 120.kilo's in one second every song you listen to online

if you a curious about how long a 2 mega byte file would take when usage is all used up try 5 or 3 minutes

POSTED: Tuesday, April 15, 2014

 So where is the ripoff here? So you only had one provider in your area and had to go with them and sign a two year contract. Neither YOU or THEY could know that months later another provider would show up. Ok youre stuck in a two year contract. You had no other options except them or a prepaid internet service. Your complaint is MORE about YOUR internet usage then thier ability to provide you with faster speeds after a certain point in your month. Sorry to say this, but they give you 5 gigs, what YOU do with those gigs is ALL on you. The only remedy to your situation is to eat the ETF and go with the other provider. But Im a betting man and Im going to bet that you do pay the ETF and get to the other provider and we will see ANOTHER RoR from you about them. The grass IS NOT greener on the other side. ATT unlimited caps your speeds as well. You dont have to believe me, not like my internet provider isnt ATT, it is really. There is a finite amount of bandwidth and EVERY person is using that bandwidth everyday. Is the current ISP data plans behind? YOU BET!!!! Is it unfair that you are stuck in a 2 year contract?? No, not really. Because at the time its all you could get and there were no published plans for another provider to pop up.

Relax and change your internet usage a bit. The REGULAR radio doesnt use ANY bandwidth, so you can save there. Maybe start picking up a movie at redbox instead of streaming. Its NOT like its going to kill you to change a little until you can get on the ATT plan. Or just bite the bullet and pay the ETF.

There is no ripoff here, just this posters use of the data allocated to them.
