I had very high hopes when I started service with BendTel. They seemed to have solid customer…read moreservice and reasonable options for a local ISP. They even worked with me on price. Unfortunately that's before I was sold on one service, and then slipped a contract for a different service that operates at 1/10 the speed and locked into a 2 year contract. I'm a business owner, not a network engineer. A difference like that needs to be explained before just giving me a bait and switch inside of a contract. When I reached out to try and come to a resolution I was Chastised by my sales person Doug because I contacted the wrong account manager who coincidentally seemed to be the only person willing to help. After that I simply wanted to be let you of the contract I was tricked into agreeing to. Today I was informed that the cancellation cost would be over 4 thousand dollars. I'm absolutely sick to my stomach over the experience, and can't believe its happening from a local company inside of Bend.

Be absolutely certain to read the fine print on their "Service Agreement"…read more Be aware of high taxes and fees that are not disclosed upfront!! Also require they establish your password, they know it and you can not change. Seems strange to have to share password to my business email account with their staff. Started service on 9/25/18, cancelled on 10/29/18 and one and only bill was $662.58. That is $20.00 per day!! I had 3 phone lines and internet service for a one person office!!!!

Wha?! I call back, wait on hold for 45 min until a real person answers, make sure they understand I've already spent 45 min troubleshooting over the phone and it's their tech who told me to make a service appointment. Appointment day arrives, I wait at home for tech during the four hour window, 3 1/2 hours in I get a call: we're running an hour late. An hour and a-half later 5 two techs finally arrive. They make some adjustment, say it's all fixed, and in 30 min. they are gone. That's truly noteworthy service. Next-day update: Conducted a speed test of my high-speed BendBroadband service: 0.53 Mbps download, 5.13 Mbps upload.
