    Great customer service! Only issue is the sign out front doesn't work, so I drove past the store three times trying to find it.

    Terrible customer service, been trying to sign up for 3 hours on the internet and even phone calls…read more I guess nothing has changed with Frontier in the past five years.

    I have been a Frontier customer since 1988 and most of that time the service has been ok with some…read moreminor service & billing issues. However, as of 3 months ago, it has been one nightmare after another with Frontier. I have spent over 20 hours on the phone between a service issue in early July ( that was ultimately fixed after much complaining over 3 days that resulted in all kinds of billing issues that I have yet to get Frontier to fully correct. Every time I talk to someone, they say they will get it corrected but the credits need a supervisor and manager approval to correct problem they caused. It took 2 months to get a credit, but then they erroneously charged me an install charge that doubled my bill. I am still fighting with them and feel beyond upset. Their systems don't talk well to one another, their processes make it hard to give credits where they are due and many of their employees lack knowledge of how their systems will bill or how changes they make affects your service & billing. I recently found out that a " retention representative " that I talked to in early July to lower my charges, unknowingly changed some coding in the system that not only caused me to lose my internet service the next day, but completely changed my service plan and doubled my billing erroneously!!! So, instead of saving me money, I lost service and have spent hours and hours on the phone for months before I was able to talk to a knowledgeable person who cared enough to help me & explain the problem. We are not done correcting the problem yet, but progress has finally been made. It's been a nightmare experience that I would not wish on anyone. It's really quite scary that it's so difficult to get to a live person, who is knowledgeable and cares. It seems that the company puts measures in place that make it extremely challenging to address issues with a manager & actually get a call back.

    The staff were friendly, but unfortunately that's where my positive feedback ends…read more I waited in line for over 30 minutes just to return an internet box. There were three employees behind the counter, yet there seemed to be no sense of urgency or effort to move the line efficiently. For the first 10 minutes alone, I watched two employees assist a single customer while the third employee stood nearby making small talk with that same customer. The conversation revolved around the customer survey and where they were from (the Bronx or New Jersey), rather than helping the growing line of customers waiting for service. During that time, the third employee also received two phone calls from what I assume was a manager asking how many people were in line, which made the lack of urgency even more frustrating. From a customer perspective, this seemed like a management issue. Why not have one employee dedicated to quick drop-offs and equipment returns, which made up a large portion of the line, while the other two handled more complex customer needs? Instead, an excessive amount of time was spent discussing the customer satisfaction survey and encouraging customers to complete it. Ironically, I never even received the survey, so I'm leaving my feedback here instead. My recommendations are simple: improve time management, minimize unnecessary conversations while customers are waiting, and utilize all three employees effectively. The third employee could have been helping customers instead of chatting with people who were already being assisted. In fact, the line might have moved faster if that employee had simply opened another register. While I was waiting, two customers became so frustrated that they left without being helped. Another customer mentioned he was on his lunch break and had already stopped by once earlier just to return equipment but had to leave again because the wait was so long. He brought a fold out chair with him as he was anticipating a long wait once again. Finally, don't assume that everyone returning equipment is canceling service and therefore isn't a priority. In my case, I wasn't switching providers--I had simply moved and needed to return my old equipment. I actually kept Optimum (though experiences like this make that decision harder to justify). This location could provide a much better customer experience with stronger management, better workflow, and a greater focus on serving customers rather than carrying on unnecessary conversations while the line continues to grow.

    Hands down Terrible Customer Service and Impossible to Cancel…read more If I could give it negative stars I would! Optimum takes the cake for the worst customer service and longest hold times I've ever dealt with. Trying to cancel my service has been an absolute nightmare. I've called multiple times, been put on hold for over an hour, transferred from department to department, and still no resolution. Each representative gives different answers, and not one of them is able--or willing--to help. What's even more frustrating is the complete refusal to let me speak with a manager. Every time I ask, I'm told a supervisor will call me back, but of course, no one ever does. It feels like they make it intentionally difficult to cancel or get real help, hoping customers will just give up. This company has no respect for people's time or money. They're quick to charge for poor service, but when it comes to support or accountability? Crickets. Avoid Optimum at all costs. It's not worth the stress. I was under the impression my service was cancelled only to learn im being billed for service I do not receive at a residence I no longer own.
