10 dollar a month ripoff! I want out of contract!

I am being charged $10.00 a month now because I don't have my dish network receivers connected to a phone line!

When I called to set up installation, the person never mentioned that I had to have anything hooked to a phone line or I would be charged extra.

Then when the installer was getting ready to leave he said "oh, yeah, you need to hook these to a phone line or there will be a penalty." The first couple of months, there was no extra charge so I thought no big deal. Then last month the extra ten dollars appeared!

The problem is, with the old phone wiring in my house, having dish network receivers hooked up screws up my DSL internet service, even with the proper filters installed. So I either hook up the recievers full time and not have internet, or unhook them and pay an extra 10 bucks.

I emailed them and told them that I would like out of the contract because this phone line deal was not mentioned to me till after the install. They said I would need to pay $13.33 a month for the remaining 15 months.

Has anyone had any success getting out of a Dish network contract? If so, could you advise what you did that was successful?

Thanks
