Dish Network, commonly known as a provider of satellite television service, also offers phone and Internet services. Customers may subscribe to Internet-only service with Dish, or they can bundle it with phone service, television service or both service for one monthly fee. Dish provides three high-speed Internet plans, and plans with faster download speeds will cost customers more. Customers can view services online or call Dish; the company is available for calls seven days a week.

Internet Only

Options for Internet-only service plans from Dish include three high-speed plans. The least-expensive plan provides download speeds up to 1.5 Mbps. The faster plans have speeds up to 7 Mbps and 12 Mbps. The faster plans are upgrades that will cost more per month. Dish also provides the option of buying or renting a high-speed modem. Ordering Internet service separately from television and phone service will be more expensive per month than if you bundle the services.

Internet and Phone

An Internet and phone bundle plan from Dish Network provides monthly savings on Internet and phone service by ordering them together. With this package, customers receive Internet service with download speeds as much as 1.5 Mbps and phone service with 11 phone features included in the monthly fee. Included features consist of options such as caller ID, call waiting and three-way calling. Adding long distance minutes to the phone service or faster download speeds for the Internet are possibilities for additional fees.

Internet and Television

The Internet and television bundle plan from Dish includes 1.5 Mbps speed Internet and 60 cable channels. Local television channels are included in the bundle for no additional fee, as well as several temporary promotions. Temporary promotions included with television service include three free months of Blockbuster service and the choice of HBO, Cinemax or Starz for three months. Customers can upgrade to 120- or 200-channel television plans for additional fees. As with the other Internet plans, customers can upgrade to faster Internet for additional fees.

Internet, Phone and Television

Dish also offers a bundle package of Internet, phone and television service for one monthly fee. Customers subscribing to this bundle can receive significant savings over ordering each of these services separately. To receive the lowest rate available for this bundle plan, customers will need to commit to a 24-month agreement. Introductory price offers for new customers are typically available for the first 12 months of service. All of the upgrades to Internet, phone and television service available in other plans are also available with this bundle.
