Dishnetwork Ping Test

[realfix11]

Dish called and asked about doing a Test of receivers

the receivers I have are not connected to a data line or phone line
(they are in the Boonies)

is there anything I can do ?
what will happen if I don't comply wit the test?

They're connected to Dish satellite antennas, right?

Why wouldn't you want to do a ping test? Do they want you to help with it, or will they come to your home? Either way, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes. If you don't let them do it, I suppose your service could suffer, and if you complain, they'll just say "remember the ping test?"

They're going to connect you to the internet for FREE just to do a ping test? Hey, go for it! :daffy:

Just kidding. Sounds like you need to find out what the deal is.
