    This is by far the worst customer service I've ever experienced. My internet went down in the middle of a Saturday, so I called technical support and waited 45 minutes to finally talk to someone. She told me it wasn't an outage in my building, so she walked me through all the troubleshooting steps. Well, none of those worked. She said a technician couldn't come out till Monday (which is two full days later). Thankfully, I work at a IT company and one of my coworkers diagnosed the issue and said it was Access Media 3's issue since my modem was working. I can't wait to cancel my contract with Access Media 3. I've even screenshotted a time when I was on hold for 1?5 hour and no one picked up.

    Better Business Bureau & Glassdoor ratings, plus my awesome DL speed.

    Access Media 3 is so frustrating that I'd come back here and give them a 1-star every day except that it takes 10 minutes to load Yelp using their Internet service. And for the record, has anyone ever seen a company with an *average* of one-star on Yelp before these guys? The terrible companies and restaurants with horrible food and service typically have enough redeeming qualities to garner 2.5-3 stars. I know Internet speed is a first world problem (if you will), but in in the US with a national average above 18 Mbps, I consistently get less than 2 Mbps with AM3. As a business professional who typically works from home, sometimes during the day, and often in the evenings, I'm reliant on a solid Internet provider to do my job. You know... the thing that pays the bills. Yet, every 3rd day or so the Internet is so slow that it won't even load an image. Customer service is hit or miss (i.e. they're friendly enough, but it seems like these guys are usually displaced from corporate and rarely know what is going on). I'd gladly change providers, but it looks like these guys have struck a deal with my apartment complex for exclusive provider rights to our complex. I can appreciate Jill J. (their customer service representative?) responding to comments via Yelp in an effort to rectify the situation, but the fact is they're a Chicago-based company, whose own employees rate them a 1.2 of 5 on Glassdoor.com, incapable of providing worthwhile service to the Houston area. Don't stop there. Their Better Business Bureau rating? What else? An F. If you're even considering an apartment complex that *only* offers these guys as an Internet service provider, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

    $80 of incorrectly billed charges and now an extra $20 per month...there is always something with this company.

    Again...more problems. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. They charged my account twice this month and are apparently "fixing it" now. I have had HBO for a couple months now and still cannot log into my HBO GO account. No one at Access 3 can figure out how to fix it. They say that DISH network cannot give them my account info bc it is my private info....when I called DISH, they said that Access 3 controls my account. Interesting... Every time I call, I ask to speak with a supervisor...they have a sneaky way of getting around this. Every time, the phone person says that they are "experiencing a high call volume and the supervisor will call you back." I have never received a call back from anyone. I have a pretty busy life but one of these days, I will be reporting Access3 Media to the BBB.

    Always having "trouble."   Least reliable and worst customer service.

    Access - should not be their first part of their name. Internet: Their internet constantly experiences outage. This isn't once in a while spotty, this is complete outages once a week. Between the outages, there's significant lag. Netflix - constantly lags Email - have to sign in sign out and have Gmail say not connected Web surfing - frequently can't access basic sites to do work. SUMMARY: This is the worst internet I've ever had. Whether you're a professional who needs to perform simple tasks like email and market industry analysis or if you're trying to watch basic streaming apps lie Netflix, this loser company will consistently underperform and disappoint you.

    If you LOVE seeing this on your computer screen, then this is the company for you!

    It has been 4 months now since I wrote my first Yelp review on this company and I have still seen no results on my internet service even after dealing with AM3's customer service on a regular basis. The internet continues to freeze and shut me out. I have taken an actual log of the times my internet goes unresponsive and I can honestly and accurately say that the internet service goes unresponsive AT LEAST 3 times every hour, each time lasting anywhere from 30 seconds to 1:15 minutes. This is extremely exhausting and stressful. NOTE TO LANDLORD AND PROPERTY OWNERS, Do not make your tenants/customers go through the headache that this company creates. Do your research and understand that there is a reason they are rated one (1) star. I am very rational and level-headed and I can say that this company is borderline a scam.

    After the internet was out for two days for an "upgrade", check out the new much slower speeds! AM3 is the worst!!!!

Sign me up for life! *** I don't know which is there main Yelp! Page so posting the same review here just in case*** The Details: Just another reason why I need to leave Manhattan... I hate my current internet and cable company-- Layer3 come to NYC please!! My brother had Layer3 installed one morning while I was visiting. I complained and expected the worst, but it was literally the easiest experience ever. This nice install rep (hi Chris!) came perfectly on time and did the entire setup for us in a few minutes - he was very pleasant and funny. I had no idea what this new cable was, so he spent time explaining and showing us a few pointers to make sure we understood the software. It's like a no contract, no fee, amazing cable company that has even higher quality imaging. Plus virtually unlimited DVR space (Hello binge watching!) Oh and it's less expensive than what I'm paying for UGHHHHH. The Damage: I believe the price is different depending where you are, so worth calling to see. I'll be signing up a soon as they come to Manhattan

I used to…read morelove their customer service, America based, and their picture quality, content and NFL package were outstanding. Then AT&T purchased Directv. I stuck with them a little longer but the quality of their services quickly deteriorated. I used to consider them the gold standard but i had to switch after a mystery charge appeared on my bill that they couldn't explain to me. I told them i was leaving and they didn't even care. I also refuse to go to Comcast. I noticed an ad for Layer 3 tv online and decided to try it out. Let me preface by stating i have a 1gigabit internet thru the fine folks from RCN who also have excellent customer service. Layer3 TV is an internet based cable solution. Their feed runs thru your internet. and they have 4K. I admit i was skeptical at first but once i switched i have not looked back. The picture quality is amazing and the customer service is outstanding. They are new to the Chicago area so there are a few kinks but you can tell with the technology they use they will become a force. Please keep doing what you are doing I enjoy your services immensely.

The xfinity agent told me their system was not proprietray and it could work with blink cameras. It is proprietary. There are advantages and disadvantages to a plugged in camera. I thought I could get the best of both worlds, but now have to run a separate system for blink. I talked to Omar 10/25. I complained that because they gave me bad info, I have to invest in additional equipment (sync module, echo show, and new router. From what I've been reading on the forums. It doesn't play well with the xfinity router). He told me they weren't charging me for the security equipment or installation so I let it go. I find out today, they actually are and they basically tell me there is nothing they will do. Sso much for their "satisfaction garauntee". Maybe I'll keep it. If I pull it out, I'll let you know how it goes. Just be careful when you talk to these them. I've been getting bad information. They might wonder why I never stick around for their surveys. It's because it sometimes takes a week or so before you find out the customer service agent didn't do what they told you they did. FYI: The system itself works OK for what it's supposed to do. I just wish their people were knowledgable enough to have told me what it was supposed to do instead of telling me what I "wanted to hear".

Purchased an accessory online as a gift for one of my nephews, website said it would be ready by 10am, had a pretty free morning, waited around... nothing. called at 1pm was told to wait for a minute while they find it and within a minute it became ready for pickup. Got to the store to pick it up, was given an open box. When I brought it up to their attention they said that it was on sale because it's an open box, even though I purchased a new product online. Raul who was not a part of my transaction kept jumping in with smart remarks mentioning that if he received an open box as a gift he would be very happy with it, and that it was on discount because it was opened. Meanwhile, another employee in the peanut gallery chimed in that they often arrive opened directly from Apple. Lots of peanut gallery comments in this interaction while the person helping me was checking for another case. Asked for them to just return and refund as I'm really not a fan of the smart ass comments, one of the guys working offered to swap for a different color, I declined and they proceeded to attempt a return. It was just an attempt though as they claimed that their system would allow the return but it was not going through. They told me they could mail me a check weeks later but refund to PayPal was not possible. The person who was now working with me offered again to swap to a different color, at this point I just want to leave this place and their poor customer service so I accept the swap. Forward 20 min they can't do that either (not sure why they offer something more then once before seeing if they can even do it). Ended up there for over an hr and a half with one employee calling core and being cold transferred between departments and what seemed like an AI service agents. I'm glad I'm not a Verizon customer, it seems like this was a regular thing for people who place orders but aren't active customers. Overall Verizon is exactly what comes to mind when u think of bad customer service along with piss poor back end systems so that when you buy things from Verizon the back and system is too incompetent to be able to reverse or refund a transaction. I smell a class action lawsuit possible here but that's none of my business. lol. Ended up wasting an hour and a half, going to just dispute on PayPal and let Verizon recover their product. Worst case, it was a lesson which cost me more in time and patience then anything else. PLEASE STAY AWAY from Verizon if you are not a wireless customer of theirs.
