It takes forever to connect with a live person and that person is not proficient in English so I keep asking them to repeat themselves.

I received notice of disconnection, warning that failure to pay full past due amount would result…read morein disconnection of service by a certain date. I owed balance of $105.71 and made payment for $100.00. Sure enough, TDS disconnected my service over overdue amount of $5.71. Having used them for years means nothing to them. When I logged into my account it listed a new amount, due later this month. I paid that in full, and funds were deducted immediately from my account. But my service was not restored. When I called customer service later today, I was advised it takes a few days to reflect the payment and that tds would reactivated my service by end of business day, but there would be reconnection fee. So tds can turn off my service over a few bucks, but has no duty to immediately and automatically reconnect service because their systems are not smart enough to update a payment in real time? Finally, their customer service reps have the personality of a gray rock.

Recently I switched from Charter Cable to U-Verse and the difference is amazing!! I was really…read moreunhappy with the DVR service from Charter. It looked and functioned like something from 10 years ago. So I switched to U-Verse. Their DVR system is pretty nice and allows you to do so many different things. You are able to record 4 shows at once, along with a variety of things on demand. They offer wireless boxes, which is a plus becase we couldn't run wiring in our finished basement. It also is whole home DVR, so the shows that I record I can watch on either tv. I have had no reception issues and no customer service issues (yet). I am sure that will probably change once my 12 month locked in price is gone and I have to call to re-negotiate. I also got the 16mb internet service with wireless and have had no issues. The tech even set up my desktop in my finished basement with a wireless adapter at no charge. That was a nice surprise as I thought I was going to have to find somewhere else to go with it since I couldn't run wire. AT&T is one of the better TV/Internet options around. I have had Time Warner, Charter, Directv and Century Link and none of them are as good as AT&T.

Each time we report it, they just kinda of appease us with basic troubleshooting (replace this device, try turning up the signal, etc.). Rarely does it help. Our latest issue came when I lost internet for three days. I work from home, so it's kind of important. They wouldn't prioritize me since it was just me, so I had to wait, costing me a day off and all my mobile data as I used my hotspot. Finally a tech came out and said the cable from the pillar outside was pretty old (aka "original"), so he ran new stuff to my house. They'd send someone a couple days later to bury it. Cool - things seemed better after that. However, that night (like at 3am), a truck pulled up and monkeyed with that box. The next morning, I was down again - all services. Calling it in started troubleshooting all over from scratch. Like, you couldn't just look up the work order to see what those guys did? And have them come fix it?? LONG story short, it was a big issue, and had any homes been downstream from me, they would have had issues too (so the cable-burying guy told me). Eventually they got it working again. But hey - guess what? I stlil have some pixilation watching TV... So after all that, I'm really no better off than I was before. Thanks guys.

Despicable treatment by a group of totally untrained, uneducated, incompetent L I A R S First call 10/17 - This is where I lost 51 minutes of my life trying to explain an issue to their incoherent representatives. First Eileen who was totally useless. Then her 'supervisor', Jasmine who guaranteed me I would receive an email from someone on their tech team within 72 hours, Ticket #1-236907879796R2. It sounded far-fetched, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. 10/24 - As anticipated, no response. Called again and spoke with Sierra who again, was of no use. I asked to AGAIN speak with a supervisor. After waiting for 1 hour 27 minutes (stupid me) with her coming back on the line every so often to assure me that the supervisor was coming, she disconnected the call. I guess that was her way of letting me know that a supervisor wouldn't be coming after all. Right back at you AT&T/DirectTV. Tomorrow, it's my turn and I will be one to hit the disconnect button and terminate your services.

The main take away to this long review is DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH TDS. They are poor communicators. They are immensely incompetent, though they may make a good sales pitch. The right hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. They don't give you ALL the necessary details. And God help you if your address is restricted until proof of residency is submitted and either approved or denied. INCOMPETENT It began with receiving a card in the mail detailing a promotion for internet service. I took them up on said offer, including an order for home phone service. The individual I spoke to was cordial and seemed competent as a sales person, the key word here is seemed. After finishing up the order for the internet, he then transferred me to a department that could port my number from Spectrum. The individual in that department had no idea why the other agent had even transferred me over and told me that two orders could not be made in the same day and was curt and decidedly unfriendly about the whole situation, especially because I couldn't explain to her why I had been transferred to her department. Furthermore, no one had communicated to her why I had been transferred. So, the call ended and I had it in mind that the technicians would be out to install our services the next day. That was Monday. Tuesday, I spoke to another agent after calling to confirm that the technicians were indeed coming out to the apartment to perform the installation. Good thing I did. The second agent informed me, with regret in his tone, that the previous agent had made a few mistakes and the order could not be completed. Apparently, the previous tenants had racked up a sizable bill with TDS and therefore my address was restricted from receiving services until proof of residency could be completed. And so I repeated the whole process of making the order. This time I felt as though the agent to whom I was speaking was confident in the duties of his job. He even applied a 30 dollar credit and added additional promotions in order to save me money. The order was placed and the order was confirmed and I submitted proof of residency and proof that I was who I was claiming to be and the previous tenants weren't using me to re-acquire services from TDS. Later that evening, I received a confirmation email for the installation. The only problem that came up was that they couldn't port my number for whatever reason. "Fine" I said, "I'll just take a new number". Doubly fine. Fast forward to today. I called to once again confirm that the technicians were still coming out do the hook up. This is where it gets juicy. In their system, there was no appointment scheduled for today, but instead it had been scheduled for tomorrow, Thursday. I said, "I'm afraid you're incorrect. I have a confirmation email here saying that the appointment was made and confirmed for today 1-28-26. He looked into it and confirmed my date, while simultaneously saying that the technicians would call sometime today. I reminded him that the appointment was made for Wednesday between 8-10. After some waffling and incoherent statements about the time and date, everything seemed to be in order and I ended the call. 8 AM came and went. 9 AM came and went. 10 AM came and faded away. I called once more to inquire as to the status of the order and the ETA of the technicians. Turns out that the technicians were never coming today. Why? You may ask. Why would the technicians not show up on the intended install date when the appointment had been made and confirmed. Good question. They couldn't make it make sense. And so it circled back to that restriction placed on my address. Even though I had submitted the documents the previous day while on the phone with the agent, who failed to mention that it would take time to review and verify, it had not been reviewed or verified and remained in a pending status. Not one agent I spoke to mentioned that there was a process in order to verify the proofs I had sent, which by the way they had rejected without having called me. Apparently they needed a signed lease, which on the verification website was an option but not a requirement. You would think that would be an important detail. Furthermore, this boggles my mind, they, knowing that my address hadn't been verified and was still restricted, went ahead and made an appointment for the installation and allowed me to confirm it. 0 communication skills. The incompetency is overwhelming with these people. Do not under any circumstances do business with TDS. The savings they promise are not worth the headache of dealing with customer service. I think I dodged a bullet with this one. So, I cancelled all orders and closed the account and headed on back to Spectrum. Good riddance to TDS. Never again.

Turns out no Comcast service is offered at our new location. You guessed it. They will not release us from the additional 10 months on the contract. They lied to us and their management explained that Comcast cannot be held responsible for what their employees tell customers. The only thing that matters is what they tricked us into signing. I cannot tell you how poor this customer service is and what an awful experience it has been to do business with this company. We have never encountered anything like it. If I could have rated them with zero stars, I would have. "Caveat Emptor-Let the buyer beware". Now the public is aware!
