Dish Wireless lost another 210,000 subscribers during the second quarter although the trend over the last three quarters is an improving one.
released its second-quarter earnings report today which reveals that wireless subscribers continue to leave Dish Wireless in large numbers. During the second quarter of this year, 210,000 net subscribers left leaving 7.87 million customers remaining. Since the company started offering wireless service in August 2020, it has lost 1.1 million wireless customers, or 12.3% of the number that it started with.Dish co-founder and Chairman Charlie Ergen had long wanted to get into the wireless business.
Despite losing 210,000 net customers in the second quarter, the number was less than the 343,000 net customers that left Dish during the first quarter, and the 245,000 that dropped Dish Wireless during the fourth quarter of 2021. During those three quarters, Dish saw its churn rate, the percentage of its customers that up and left for another carrier, decrease from the 4.95% it reported during Q4 or 2021, to 4.64% during this year's Q1, and 4.39% for the just reported Q2 of 2022.
An MVNO is a mobile virtual network that doesn't own a network. Wireless capacity is purchased from both T-Mobile and AT&T and sold to customers at a profit.Last November, Boost debuted a $100 per year plan that gives subscribers unlimited talk and text along with 1GB of high-speed data each month. Called the"Carrier Crusher" plan, the price works out to about $8.33 per month and is designed for those who have costly unlimited plans but use less than 10GB of data each month.
Dish met the FCC's requirement that it covers 20% of the U.S. population with its 5G signals by June 14th. By that same date next year, Dish must have its 5G signals cover 70% of the U.S. population or else pay the FCC a huge fine disguised as a voluntary contribution.
