Company ProfileFounded: 1980Services: TV, Internet, Wireless, IPTV
For over 4 decades, DISH Network has been a leader in satellite TV entertainment, and now a growing player in wireless and over-the-top TV.
Our DISH Network rating: 98/100
From a fledgling startup (Echostar) to multimedia giant, DISH is doing a solid job of evolving with the digital times. While satellite TV isn't going away anytime soon, DISH smartly expanded into streaming TV with the launch of Sling TV (2015). It's always owned a huge band of wireless spectra and recently began to build out its insfrastructure (DISH is now the 4th largest wireless carrier in the U.S.).
Back to satellite TV, DISH has over 8 million customers and still provides a very cost-effective way to watch a ton of channels. If streaming is too restrictive and/or you want plenty of live TV, we routinely recommend DISH to mid to large size families looking for plenty of options.
