That was the last straw for me!! When I tried to go onto my account it was no longer active therefore I could not pay my balance owing. It took 15 minutes to finally get through by calling to be able to speak to a customer service representative because since my number had been deactivated, the automated system didn't acknowledge my old phone number and nitro able to find me in the system! I said to the customer rep since I don't have an account any longer, how am I going to pay my bill thank God I asked that question because if I hadn't, it wouldn't have happened, and therefore they would've probably sent me to collections which would've ruined my credit I told him he could send my bill to my email address. Fingers crossed it happens! they'll send the bill deactivated cell number. the other bills once cell numbers are deactivated I will need to go to the Verizon store to pay off the other 4 lines!!! This is so messed up and disrespectful services to loyal customers it baffles the mind!! Good riddance and I'm saving $200 per month a $2400 yearly SAVINGS!!

Complaint registered today against Xfinity, owned by Comcast:…read moreDescription of complaint: Comcast/Xfinity billing is confusing to say the least. Current bill due as of 8/1/2024. They bill a month in advance. Yesterday, I cancelled that plan which should erase the $206 normal charges. I am making a payment of $93.37 tomorrow, which I am not challenging. There may be a residual balance of under $25, but they are telling me that I will owe $152 and change after tommorow's payment, and this is part of the amount I am challenging. I have paid $250 on 7/4/2024 and with tomorrow's payment, that is $343 in one month!!!! On my last complaint to the BBB, they also told me they would credit the $100 tech visit on 3/24/2024 which I was told several times by the tech that actually came to my house that I WOULD NOT BE CHARGED, so this $100 credit did not drop off. I was also told twice by two different chat discussions subsequent to that date. So the total amount that I should be credited would be $252 and change. The only reason for two stars is because of the hours I have had to spend challenging their puzzling billing "rules," in which, after I cancelled all TV expenses, the gave me bare internet FREE for one year. I am finally switching to a digital antenna, and getting a smart TV. To their credit, Xfinity's internet is EXCELLENT in quality and speed, even at 50Mbps. Quite simply, $230 a month for TV and internet is TOO MUCH, even if you are fairly well off. Since 2006, I have paid Comcast some $40,000 in services, taxes, fees and miscellaneous "other" charges. Not any more.

To Comcast Legal and Executive Escalations, This email…read moreserves as a formal Notice of Dispute and a demand for the immediate cancellation of all Xfinity services under my account. I am writing to establish a strict, undeniable written paper trail, as Xfinity's systems deliberately block consumers from canceling services independently online, and your telephone representatives have actively falsified information. Yesterday, September 2, 2026, I called Xfinity customer support for the second time to ensure my account cancellation was being processed. The representative explicitly assured me that my services were ended. However, upon checking my account dashboard, I discovered the account remains active and billing continues. This marks the second consecutive time a phone representative has committed verbal fraud by promising my account was closed, only to leave it active to protect their internal metrics. This predatory behavior is a pattern. A few weeks prior to my cancellation requests, I called Xfinity three separate times attempting to find a better, more affordable rate for my plan. Instead of helping me or offering a reasonable pricing adjustment, your representatives repeatedly and aggressively shoved the Xfinity Mobile feature in my face. They refused to offer any other viable alternatives. It is entirely clear that Xfinity representatives do not strive to help the consumer; they strive solely to help themselves, protect their own sales quotas, and keep their jobs. Your entire customer service system is built on deceptive, bad-faith retention tactics designed to trap customers and extract unauthorized funds. Please take the following actions immediately: Terminate all services tied to this account effective immediately. Stop all future billing and revoke any automatic payment authorizations. Issue a final, prorated bill reflecting my original cancellation attempts, with a full waiver of any fees accrued due to your representatives' refusal to close the account. Send written confirmation of account closure to my email on file. I am keeping a log of this correspondence. If this account is not closed immediately and all unauthorized billing stopped, I will forward this entire documented timeline to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for violations of unfair billing and cancellation traps, and my State Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.

Shockingly, One of the WORST, MOST UNSCRUPULOUS COMPANIES I've every dealt with. STAY AWAY!…read more To make a long story short: Our internet service was never really worked (dropping every 5 minutes). After numerous complaints, hours-long phone calls, they WOULD NOT let us cancel our contract (even though they weren't holding up their end and we found out the previous tenant had the same on-going problems). Then they wanted to charge me $140 for onsite troubleshooting in order to waive the $65 cancellation penalty. (What a joke?!) WHAT I DID AND WHAT YOU CAN DO if you've experienced bad business practices: 1. File complaint with BBB (they told the BBB to politely go to hell) 2. File complaint with the state attorney general 3. Join a class-action lawsuit...there are some going on 3. Call your credit card company and BLOCK them from charging you (Yep, it worked for me.) You can also, under credit card protection laws, contest all charges from them if you were dissatisfied and tried in good faith to resolve with the company.

We get a full 5 bars of signal from a Clear tower that is less than a mile away but we haven't been able to get above a speed test of 3 mbps with the average below 1mbps. I spent 3 hours on the phone with them over the last two days only to be told our service had been cut because we are in the top 2% of internet users on our tower. When I called and questioned this I was told that we weren't actually using that much internet and that the tower had automatically flagged us. Ridiculous, all we use the internet for is Facebook, Facebook games, Netflix, and ITunes, none of which had been used excessively at any point during the last month we've been with them. After being told yesterday (3/22) that the flag would go away and we'd be getting our promised speed of 6mbps I just ran a few speed tests and none went above 1mbps. DON'T SWITCH TO CLEAR. For 5 dollars more a month you can get the same service from Comcast, with no drop in bandwidth no matter how many games of Farmville you play, or Netflix movies/shows you watch.

On Nov 6, 2025, Astound's billing department advised me to purchase my own modem because their…read morerental equipment is ~8 years old and not compatible with modern Wi-Fi standards. Following Astound's own "Bring Your Own Modem" guidance, I purchased a Motorola MB8611. On Nov 19, 2025, I attempted to activate the MB8611. During calls at 8:47 AM and 9:48 AM, Astound's technicians failed to provision the modem. When I asked to revert to my rental modem, they initially failed to restore that as well. Although service eventually returned, it continued to drop intermittently for the next 24 hours (documented by a 7:45 PM call). On Nov 26, 2025, I purchased a second approved modem (Arris S34). During calls at 12:05 PM, 12:09 PM, and 12:21 PM, Astound again failed to activate it. Instead of addressing the outage, representatives insisted I first create a new online account and set security questions--even though I had no internet access at the time. After finally completing the account setup, I made additional calls at 1:10 PM and 1:18 PM, spending over two hours on the phone. I requested a technician for an immediate restoration of service with the rental modem. Astound accomplished neither. Representatives showed blatant lack technical knowledge (e.g., unfamiliar with basic networking terms like SNR or DHCP), making it impossible to perform proper diagnostics. When I asked to escalate to a supervisor, the request was refused. Astound scheduled the earliest technician visit for Dec 5--ten days later. I emphasized that I work from home and need stable connectivity, and I offered to pay extra for an earlier appointment. Astound refused. UPDATE: after writing complaints to FCC and BBB, I was contacted by a member of Astound "executive resolution team", who turned to be a capable technician. He told me that Astound tech support team made a typo while entering MAC address of my modem (5 times in a row?). Within 10 minutes my service was restored. Overall, it took only 2 weeks, about a dozen calls to Astound support, 2 official complaints, and a week without Internet service to do a basic equipment upgrade.

GARBAGE SERVICE, USELESS SUPPORT, OVERPRICED RATES. I never thought I'd hate someone more than…read moreComcast. I pay for 50 Mbps upload and get barely 9 or 10, as well as constant latency, packetloss, and random outages (brand new modem + router on my end). Any kind of streaming or online gaming varies from "tolerable" to "impossible." I've attached an image of my speed test as proof that I am in fact experiencing up to a half-second of connection delay. Their support was INFURIATINGLY bad. They sent technicians twice, and one of the times they BROKE the neighborhoods connection before leaving, so it was out all day until I called again to tell them what happened. They said they'd send another and did not, and when I asked about that, they started asking me how to fix the problem (as if that's my job). They reset my modem without telling me, while I was using the internet to talk to their tech support, then when I lost connection and couldn't respond they closed the conversation and made me start over. They've scheduled an appointment and then simply not shown up, leaving me to contact them again and try to set up another (and they make me wait another week or more for the next appointment opening). They say they have no way of reviewing past tech support so I had to explain this problem more than a dozen times (and am STILL going through this issue, and having to re-explain the entire thing every single time). They have called me three times at 6 AM just to tell me that an appointment scheduled two weeks in the future was canceled, then to tell me it was back on. I try to be as polite as possible with others, but if I could swear in google reviews I would be doing so right now. I don't think I have ever had such disrespectfully bad service in my life. On top of all that, our price has slowly climbed to over 200% what it started at (it "was" $70 per month, now it's $150 for this absolutely trash tier service and support). God help you if you rely on this company for anything, they are a landfill of incompetence. Edit: After seeing my review they asked me to email them with more information, and after I did they promised to "Reach out as soon as possible." It's been 9 days and I have not heard from them, nor have I seen any improvement. Everything any Astound representative has ever told me, so far, has been a flat out falsehood. This company is AWFUL.

I have to agree with all of the other people who dislike Frontier…read more Every year, my "special pricing " runs out and I have to call five times, threaten to leave, then magically there is a lower price. Each year, the promos triple the speed at a third of the price I'm paying, and it is hard to not be annoyed. Cell companies continue to improve my speed and services, not hassle required, that's probably why I stay with Tmobile, 10 years now. I finally left Frontier this year, because my cellphone speeds are comparable to Frontier and I just bought my kids a LTE tablet for $20/m that can play on our TV. It is a little more complicated, but saves me $80/m and hassle of calling their terrible customer service. Tethering to my phone is a little slower for my laptop, but honestly, I'm just checking FB, Twitter, and Email. If you can avoid Frontier and Comcast do it. They are clinging to life and hopefully a more reliable and straight forward company steps into the space. Perhaps even a company that values customer retention, knowing customer acquisition is much more expensive than keeping existing customers. Stay salty my friends.

And after getting quotes to install ethernet in my 1980s circa home, one never wired for ethernet, one that just went through a significant renovation where I, in my supreme wisdom said "WiFi is great, now! Who need hardwires anymore?" was now faced with retrofitting several rooms and office with ethernet and said, this guy over here, the independent with a normal sounding company name, yeah - lets go with him! Mistake!! After schedule, and reschedule, and delays, and reschedule, we got nowhere with contractor number one. Meanwhile, Roberto and Peter at Those Tech Guys had patiently followed up several times, continued to be pleasant and professional, and AFTER I said no thank you I am going to go with someone else! So I made the dreaded call back - "So remember when I said if things change . . . " Peter was quick to jump on the phone, and walk me through things at every step. Gave me a highly competitive bid, and an install time of only a few days from when I called. They cam onsite, were clean courteous, and efficient. They played with my dog (I mean who doesn't love a bowling ball Staffy Bull Terrier mix?) and made light work of the install, and the final cost (with tip!) was even below the initial quote. This was made possible as Peter walked my home and together we found opportunities to do things more quickly, and save a few dollars along the way. In the end, I didn't choose Those Tech Guys first, but you should. No regrets here, other than I should have picked them first!
