She had purchased a new phone 2 weeks prior and paid $29 to have her contacts transferred to her new phone, but unfortunately some of them were missing. When she was finally helped, the service rep replied to her, "Sure, and that will be another $29 to download your contacts again. You should have made sure you had all of your contacts before you left the store." Unbelievable and so angering to hear someone make a comment like that. How many of us would ever know that we had a contact missing, let alone a 91 yr old. They are clearly trying to rip off the elderly!

Update 5/10/26 - Apparently there is one more chapter in this saga. I tried to sign up for Frontier…read moreFiber as I promised after the pole was removed. They provided me a work order number (I don't recall that number)... no notification and nothing happened. I call the 800 number and thrash my way through the phone tree to a person - they have no record of the work order or any work order at my address. (The phone tree is nearly impossible to navigate if you do not have an account number with them, also, it appears the "account phone number" is NOT my phone number.) A couple weeks pass and someone calls me. I relate the issues, a second work order is opened (#070644356). Frontier needs to do a "credit check", so I log into the 3 agencies and temporarily lift my freeze. They email me requesting proof of ID, so I email an image of my drivers license. I also download the "app" as requested so I can check when the tech will arrive. It says the order is in process. 4 weeks pass, it is now May and I get a call from (800-921-8101). I explain the history, they cannot locate the work order. We go through the whole thing for the 3rd time. I lift my 3 credit blocks AGAIN. Credit check is OK, but I'm told for some reason my account was charged $40 for the check. Frontier sales gives me a number I can call to get it removed from my account (866) 293-7026 (question - why should the customer do this?) but the "auto-answer" bot at thast number keeps asking for my "id number" when I call (what ID number?) - useless. We are now on Order# 070656860. I log into my account, they need "Positive ID" again - I attach another copy of my drivers license... I hear crickets. In a week I check the Frontier app on my phone. Apparently they have been trying to contact me (the right phone number might help). There is nothing in my email or junk mail folders. There is NO WAY for me to contact anyone from the app (except the 800 number that you can't get through, and GIGA is useless - (cannot locate the order number, phone number does not match, no "orders" for my address, etc). I log into my account at FRONTIER.COM and I have a message... "They Need Positive ID" AGAIN! At this point I AM DONE! I called the 800-921-8101 to cancel, but of course it could not find my order number, by phone or address. My only solution - I wrote a TEXT message listing the order numbers and requested they be canceled, made a PDF image out of it and attached it in place of my "ID Image" they were requesting. FRONTIER - I tried, but you and your systems are too hard to work with. (BTW - one phone call to a non-800 Greenlight number, information given, no credit checks, installation date AND TIME scheduled all by the SAME PERSON on the SAME CALL, I was emailed account and status info, and 1 week later I'm on Greenlight Fiber.) Who would YOU want to work with?

We've had Frontier, former Rochester Telephone for over 30 years for our landline but will soon end…read moreour service with them. Two weeks ago, coming home from a trip we noticed that there was no dial tone, so we called Frontier. We got a date for a tech to come out nine days later. Quite a long time without service we are paying for, but oh well. On the day the tech was supposed to come we made sure to be home, waited all day and then found out at night that our service had been rescheduled for 12 (!) days later, which will be three weeks after we reported it. No reason, no contact! We called a number of times but either got no explanation let alone solution, or promises ("we will put you on the emergency list, someone should be there today or tomorrow") which never materialized. This isn't terrible customer service, it's NO customer service. Fortunately there are alternatives so that we can soon say goodbye to Frontier.

At work yesterday, we were talking about Charter Communications. It was a past customer of ours…read more It sparked me to find this listing. When I moved to Rochester, MN, I had to get various services set up. I got my cable and internet services from Charter Communications. Back then, to get them set up, you couldn't do it over the phone. In a way, I was glad because I didn't have that service set up at the time, either! I went to the closest Charter location to get both services set up. It made sense to go with cable internet at the time. I could have the same company for both my TV and internet. I went with a deluxe channel lineup for my TV. When I got a DirectTV account, I downgraded to basic channels with Charter. It worked perfectly. I don't remember any full cable outages. I always got to see my TV shows. My cable internet service wasn't perfect. When it was down, it was down. Luckily, I didn't have the need to work from home. However, when you're trying to do tasks online and you can't, it was a pain. When I moved back to Winnipeg, cancelling my services was smooth. I was pleased. I hope that internet services offered by Charter are more stable these days. Otherwise, I had a good experience with the TV side. (51)

Do not, under any circumstance, ever go with Charter Spectrum for internet. They truly have the…read moremost pathetic customer service I have ever experienced. They have so many hidden fees and costs that aren't disclosed up front. If you notice an issue on your billing statement, you won't get your money back. I had Charter internet 7 years ago and vowed I would never use their services again. Fast forward to this year, and I was swindled into a deal that sounded too good to pass up by a traveling Charter Spectrum sales rep. It has been nothing but frustration and headache trying to cancel this service. I could go on and on, but just do yourself and your sanity a favor and go with literally ANY other service than Charter Spectrum. This business needs to be formally shutdown.
