Local Business News Whidbey Telecom Is Now A DISH Authorized Retailer
WI
Whidbey Telecom is excited to announce it has added DISH to its portfolio of product offerings. George Henny, Co-CEO of Whidbey Telecom stated, “The way people are getting their video entertainment is changing fast. People are shifting to streaming video options for entertainment, at home and on the go. People trust us to provide great service, so it is our responsibility to find the best options for our customers and community. We also needed to look for the best, most cost-effective solution for customers who want to stick with regular TV, especially when the major networks are relentlessly forcing massive price increases on us that end up getting passed along to our customers. We are excited that DISH can help us offer both SLING streaming and regular DISH TV options to our communities.” Chris McKnight, CMO of Whidbey Telecom added, “With DISH, customers choose from a variety of TV packages to fit their needs. The equipment is the most technologically advanced in the industry, but it’s still easy to use. DISH was recently ranked number one in customer service by J.D. Power, which shows they listen to their customers. Their wholehome experience puts DISH’s value, technology and service way ahead of the competition.” About Whidbey Telecom Since 1908, Whidbey Telecom has been a locally owned and operated communications service provider serving South Whidbey Island, Hat Island and Point Roberts, Wash. Always connecting the community and a technology pioneer, Whidbey Telecom’s The Big Gig® brought the fastest fiber optic network to South Whidbey Island in 2016.
