DISH Network (an EchoStar company) hires remote, work-from-home Customer Experience Representatives for billing, programming, and tech support across its DISH TV, Sling TV, and Boost Mobile brands.
What DISH Network actually says
“Stable Cable, DSL, or Fiber ISP internet connection with a minimum 25 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload speed with 99% uptime, and no bandwidth or data caps. Wired ethernet between modem and PC without the use of an adapter: Wi-Fi, fixed wireless, cellular or other hotspot, or satellite is not supported.”— The Muse — DISH Remote Bilingual Customer Service Representative posting · source
DISH also owns EchoStar, Hughes, Sling TV, and Boost Mobile — this listing is specifically for the DISH TV customer experience team. All internet costs are the employee's responsibility and are not reimbursed by DISH except where required by law.
What passes for DISH Network
A wired connection — fiber, cable, or DSL — with an Ethernet cable from your computer to the router. Fiber is the strongest fit: upload speed matches download, latency stays low and consistent, and weather doesn't affect it.
If you're on satellite, a cellular hotspot, or 5G home internet, no speed test will get you past DISH Network's rule — the connection type is what's being checked. The fix is a wired line, installed with the Ethernet connection in the room where you'll work.
Before your DISH Network tech check
- Confirm a wired provider reaches your address.
- Run Ethernet to your workspace — not just to the router's room.
- Turn off Wi-Fi and any VPN on the work computer.
- Run a speed test on the wired line (target: at least 25 Mbps down / 2 Mbps up) and screenshot it.

DISH Network internet questions, answered
DISH Network permits Wi-Fi on some programs, but the connectivity scan during onboarding is run on a wired connection. Plan for Ethernet at the desk.
At least 25 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload. The exact minimum can vary by client program, so confirm against the job listing you are applying to.
DISH Network does not publish a blanket exclusion on satellite, but the speed and latency minimums still apply and satellite often fails the latency test.
DISH Network does not name hotspots as prohibited, but cellular service shares tower capacity and is a common cause of a failed connectivity scan.
