DIRECTV is the absolute worst cable provider in the history of TV. When you call them for help they…read moredisconnect you unless you are calling about paying them. This happened to me 5 times yesterday when my system was seizing up I.e. black picture + intermittent sound. I have replaced their internet module 3 times; each time the task to reboot the system to working took 5 hours; you have to sign in in different ways for each premium channel you are paying for; it takes different passwords and different identity confirmations to make it work properly. In our area DIRECTV has a monopoly on prime, Netflix, YouTube, Disney, you name it; and their website does not work I.e. I cannot sign in without being rejected or terminated. Perhaps some day ( by the turn of the century) DIRECTV will get it that it is actually easier to provide reliable content signal and accessible customer support. Perhaps some smart law firm will take them to task to change their unprofessional conduct; until then expect lots of problems if you have to use them to receive the content you desire in CALIF.

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.

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 called their support and they told me - the plans change and i do need to call to activate the global pass... now i am stuck with this bill.... it is very tricky of them. I travel aboard at least 4-5 times a year and always pay $10 a day ... but they changed plans and told me my plan is level 4 and not level 5 and they charged me... If the support did not tell me - your account plan does not need any global pass activation ever as it is a part of your plan already - i would call them and activate, but the phone support said - no need , part of your plan already. It is not how the business is done in the USA, it is tricking people to pay.
