    I want to offer a balanced review of my experience with Frontier, so you can be aware and decide if…read morethis is the internet company for you. I moved into a newer apartment complex in New Tampa and chose Frontier as my internet service provider. The customer service, setup, technician service, and service in general were good. No issues. I recently tried to cancel my Frontier internet service because I'm moving out of state after 18 months. First, I checked their website to see if I could transfer service, but it wasn't available. Then I tried to cancel online, only to find out you can't--you have to call an agent. After working a 12‑hour overnight shift, I called customer service, exhausted but determined to cancel by the end of the month. When I finally reached an agent, I explained my situation and asked to cancel. Instead of helping me, he stalled and kept pushing questions and sales pitches. He asked things like how I knew Frontier couldn't cover my new apartment, who was moving into my old place, and whether they'd want Frontier service. I told him repeatedly that I didn't have that information and that I just needed my service canceled. No matter how many times I asked, he ignored me, kept putting me on hold, and followed what felt like a script designed to keep me as a customer rather than listening to me. I was frustrated, exhausted, and felt completely unheard. All I wanted was a straightforward cancellation, but instead, I was met with resistance and pressure. Finally, I was not getting satisfaction and ended the call. I called back, luckily got another agent, and got my services cancelled. However, as a consolation prize, Frontier is charging me a $50 restocking fee after 18 months of use. What? So, if you want consistent, good internet service, do not mind the runaround when you wish to cancel your services, and are okay with being penalized a $50 fee for returning the equipment, this is the company for you! For the leaders of Frontier, please do better by your customers! Thank you for your time to look at my review!

    I highly advise you avoid this company…read more After using their service for 4 years, they shut down our service based on the request of the new customers who were purchasing our home from us. I use wireless for my work so I was in a very unpleasant situation the last two weeks of living in our home. This is the only utility company I have ever heard of that shuts down services without speaking to the homeowner first to verify. Then, to top things off, they had the audacity to send us a $58.00 bill, with threat of collection, for a disconnect fee, two months after we left the property. Yes, you read that right - they charged us $58.00 as a final con job and then told us they do this to everyone when they end their service with them.

I know loyalty means nothing, but for over 20 years I have passed on cable, streaming, etc. and stayed loyal to DirectTV, but now, not going to take it anymore! I have so many other options, I am quite sure they need me more than I need them! Please, please please, take my advice and DO NOT ENGAGE WITH DirectTV!!! Learn from my experience and look elsewhere! You have so many other options, go the other routes. I am not some quack, I have enjoyed my time with DirectTV for over 20 years, but loyalty not reciprocated is insanity!!! I promise you will thank me, AVOID DirectTV, you will be thrilled you did!!!!!! ZERO STARS!

    If I had the option of giving them 0 stars I would. We live and Florida and we have storms all the…read moretime. We loose service all the time during the summer and they never offer any compensation for the time the service doesn't work. Also, after your first 12 months they up your bill by 50%. Now, I went to cancel my service after my contract expired, and they still charge me an ETF fee. The only response I get is "That's the policy." Your overpriced services and terrible customer service is why you and all other cable companies will be gone soon. You don't value your customers and now it's too late to change. Good Riddance

    disclaimer: i wasn't actually assisted through a service here, but i had a peerless experience…read morevisiting this location with excellent floor management. i have no idea what his name is, but a man greeted me immediately after i signed in on the tablet. he saw my bag of equipment and asked if i was there to drop off or exchange the equipment only or if i needed anything else. i told him i only needed to drop it off. he kindly and patiently let me know that all of the employees were assisting customers with mobile service, that most of the people in front of me were also mobile customers, and that the wait would likely be longer than an hour. he suggested a spectrum drop-off point at a nearby ups store less than 10 minutes away as an alternative. we left and had the equipment all packed up to send in less than 20 minutes from that interaction. he saved us a ton of time waiting, managed the queue for his colleagues, and overall ensured that our experience there was short and sweet. if that's the type of management i can expect here, i would definitely return for any concerns.

There is no explanation unless you go digging for it. I work from home and it just happens. Customer service has been pretty bad in the past also with how issues are escalated. It's just a bad provider overall and if there is something else in your area you should try it first. I'm hoping we get Google fiber in our area. Frontier is also really bad so I wouldn't recommend it.
