This is August and already this is the 4 day this year where we haven't had internet for whole 24 hours. Outages impact whole apartment complexes and not just 1 home. With Covid and WFH, this wasn't expected. I would pay a few $ more for more reliable connection.

Okay, so I agree at first that they are a pretty good deal but after using them for a while and…read moreespecially their customer service, I mean, between them and comcrap, it is crap A or crap B. I had been using them for almost 5 years and then one day I got a complaint that said I was "attacking other computers". Now I am a computer and programmer but I am also highly ethical about it and find hacking for malicious purposes utterly reprehensible. So after the accusation I searched my network top to bottom, checked for malicious programming, rootkits, Trojans whatever and found nothing. So I thought nothing of it but I became suspicious about it. Then I started using a vpn and I got another complaint, this was a dmca. I thought this odd that they were able to tie a dmca to my ip when I am using a vpn and not downloading things. So I went on, tightened security, checked all computers and did a reformat of every computer well then I got another apparently. They did not notify me, they just cut my service off at home. The first communication from them was that they cut off my service after I was forced to contact them. They said I had to call in to talk to them. Next they locked my account so I could not remove my credit card number so they could continue to charge my cc while not giving me service. So then I called in angry. The first guy said I had to talk to customer service and he would put me on hold and transfer. 30 minutes later no one so I hung up. Called in again, this time the phones are unable to transfer me but someone would call back....they never did. Then I called in later, this time they cut me off because I went to a website they did not approve of so they cut me off and I was supposed to get called back and again they did not...and still they have no problem charging my credit card. Even worse now, they have changed their story 5 times about why they cut off my service. They will not give me service nor will they give me my money back nor will they stop charging my credit card so yeah...crap A or crap B!

I want you to know that I asked the customer service rep who assisted me this week for any and all…read moreways that I could share my strong, positive feelings about the customer service provided by US Internet. Once again, I had service that well exceeded my expectations when having a problem with both my internet and phone service. On the recent occasion, I sent an email to the customer care team about my internet outage, and almost immediately got a cell phone call from a representative. He said he saw the email, and wondered, maybe we could work more efficiently together if I was available by phone. He worked with me patiently to explore and fix my internet problem and then took even more time to work on a problem with my phone service that we identified while talking. Throughout the process he was professional, efficient, courteous, and extremely patient. This exceptional service is consistent with every interaction I have had with this company, and I plan to find other opportunities to amplify my continued confidence in this company and appreciation for its customer service. Before switching from Comcast for internet service, I asked friends, colleagues and neighbors about was the customer service the company provided and I can honestly say that I have never, ever experienced the level of prompt, professional and courteous service I have received from this company. Nice work USI!!!

After being with Nextera since 2005, I cancelled my account for a better program. They promptly…read moresent me a bill for early termination for over $2000. Not only was this never disclosed, they refused to share with me any documentation that says I consented to such a fee. When I finally go the agreement from them, it had no mention of a termination fee. So even after I showed them the last payment that specifically stated full and final payment, accepted by cashing, they still turned me over to collection. I guess I should have known better, the service worked okay but whenever I had a service question or issue, the owner's son Jamie would never return calls and did not seem to have any idea of the workings of his father's company. A couple of years ago, they assigned me to Todd Anderson. Todd was no better, he never returned phone calls and never kept any promises that he made. Absolutely the worst company that you could possibly imagine. Take it from me as one of their first customers, brutal!

Ignore Verizon's responses, it's a bot, as is Ron's supervisor, Reid. No matter what I said,…read moreReid-Bot kept saying variations of, " Did you sign a contract?" Not even a creative bot. Ron Mills, business account manager in the metro area, is an unscrupulous, slick talking man but his supervisor, Reid, when I finally was able to get in contact with Ron's supervisor after three attempts on filling out their complaint forms, said, "you signed a contract." I simply could not get the transfer code from Xfinity for my paid-off iPhone 13ProMax THAT DAY so Ron said, "let's just swap out a phone for you." And it was a standard iPhone 14, (much poorer camera features.) THEN THEY TOOK MY FULLY PAID OFF iPhone 13 PRO MAX AND SHIPPED IT AWAY BEFORE CONTRACTS WERE EVEN SIGNED. I WAS STUCK. I put it on auto pay (who checks those payments? Oops), and come to find out, I'm stuck with a three-year contract. Two years into it I still owe $1000. He had me swap out my paid off phone for a three year contract? As I asked Reid, his boss, "what normal healthy person would do a contract like that? If he can't see well enough to literally read the fine print?" He wouldn't answer. I asked the same questing in three variations, including a yes/no response. Crickets. I am visually impaired, as I told them at the time - it was obvious. Ron said, "it's the best deal you can get," and his rude boss, Reid, finally getting back to me, belligerently kept saying "you signed a contract." He had no compassion for a mentally and physically impaired senior. If Ron Mills is working at this store that day you want to set up a business account, DON'T, find another location if you want to get a business account. Or better yet, another carrier, ) Ron services several stores.) Ron even had me make up a business so he could work with me. All I wanted was a second phone line. There was a good deal going on that at the time.
