    Text messages of no service

    How in the world am I paying $100/mo for spotty at best internet. It goes down frequently which you can see by the photos below. Some adverse weather is something I can understand but I lose service and regain it about 3-4 times a day Edit: doing this to count the number of times I have lost service since this review: 6

    Walk in, they take my name, not even 2 mins while taking a pic, I get called to be attended

    Talking on the phone to Customer Service to negotiate service price been mostly a nightmare, at times. We decided to go in person and negotiate a deal for our services and got it in writing, for no one to unknown to us, adjust it to a higher price, as been noted in my previous review about Spectrum price slamming. Today, decided to go to the 3rd Ave Spectrum to exchange the DVR box. The staff was prompt & courteous. Even though I had my bill, they still require you show proof of picture ID to do the exchange.

    Less than 10 ppl, waiting time more than 1 hr

    The place is fine as long as you MAKE AN APPOINTMENT online beforehand - otherwise expect to wait for a while.

    Excellent customer service experience!…read more Worked with agent Ann David over the phone. She is knowledgeable, thorough and extremely patient (I ask a lot of questions!) I began the day prepared to cancel RCN service....i am happy to remain an RCN customer. Ann made what cou have been a frustrating experience into an easy one. I wish all customer service agents would be as dedicated and professional as Ann I was not asked to post a review

    As has been said before by many others, this company has bad customer service. Far worse than the…read moreservice is their dishonesty. Astound is a good name for these people. The low level customer service and the way the company bilks customers is astounding. They claim to be giving you a five (5) year price lock. In my case, two months later they change the name of your promotion to Promotion for Life. They say that this means that only the taxes can go up if they do, but not the price for the service in my case, $40.00 with $5.66 in taxes for a total of $45.66. Do not be fooled. All their promotions, regardless of names, can be renamed and repriced at any time. They actively promote Autobilling, which means they take the money directly out of your bank account each month. It is not worth getting a $5 reduction to have these crooks get access to your bank account. Once you provide them with your bank account number, they can help themselves to any amount. Prices with Astound change at the drop of a hat. They do this by claiming that your plan's name was changed. What this means is that they hiked the price. Am actively going to see if I can find a better deal elsewhere. These people are nasty and only interested in bilking customers. These are seasoned scam artists.

    RCN - Great work by RCN after third day with bad internet and cable TV reception. People on the phone sound pleasant, but service never gets done

Even after I asked them to review the recorded call, they refused to honor their representative's statements or take responsibility for the misinformation. I was very disappointed with how they handled the situation. similar to other people points

    Super predatory service as a whole, nothing against the workers/customer service call team . There…read moreare always random charges added onto the bill to increase your internet price by 15-20 bucks every few months without actually notifying you but sneaking it into the statements. This have happened about 8 times over the course of 5 years I have used them. I would have changed so much sooner if my building took other internet providers but was unfortunate with only having rcn available. Every time I've called to tell them that they increased the prices and I'm really unhappy about it, they miraculously have some promo that brings it back down to original price. ALSO, be warned that you also get charged a modem fee which they don't really disclose until you call to ask about it :) if you are stuck like me, just buy a modem yourself so you can save HUNDREDS of dollars per year and don't be stupid like me. There is even one charge that says construction fee and maintenance fee attached to the bill "separately" that totals your "50$" bill to 91$ :D Overall very awful business practice I hope I could give it 0 stars if I could
