Knology is the only provider that my apartment complex allows us to use. Which basically sucks.
I made my installation through email. I told the man I had been speaking with that I needed a morning appointment. His next email was him scheduling me for a 4:00pm appointment...
I mean, did you not just ready the email I sent you?!
After getting him to change the appointment, I was good.
They were supposed to be there between 10 and 12. So, I make sure to be at my apartment at about 9:30. I'm waiting around. Time is passing. Come 12:30, I call.
FIRST, the man on the phone tells me that "You don't know. You're appointment is on (the original date that I had to have changed)." I told him no, that I had the email in front of me and that the appointment had been changed. He again said "I'm looking at it. You must be wrong."
REALLY?! I'm wrong?! Wow.
So then he tells me that the soonest he can get someone there is an hour and a half away. I proceed to tell him that I have to be at work at 2pm. So he says "So is that okay?" -_- NO! THAT IS NOT OKAY!
So I have to make yet another appointment a week later for my installation.
After they actually came and installed, the service man was very nice and helpful. And on time! The only problem was that he couldn't get the apartment phone to work. So he said he would have to have his tech supervisor to come take a look.
They came the next day and got it working.
After a few weeks, the apartment phone stopped working. I called and set up and appointment to have someone take a look. I gave them my cell phone number so that they could call when they were on their way. I received NO call. When the man got there, he was very nice. Although he had NO IDEA what to do. He said he was very unfamiliar with my apartment complex and couldn't find the cable. He spent a long time looking for the cable and looked in all rooms. (I had no idea what it would look like, so I was useless.) He tried calling his tech supervisor to have him come, but couldn't get in touch with him. So he said they would come back around 8-8:30am the next day.
Surprise, surprise! No one showed up. No one called. NOTHING.
Other than that, the service men that come out are extremely nice. Very helpful. And I love that they will admit when they have no idea what they're doing, instead of wasting not only my time by staring at wires, but their time as well.
As for the people behind the desks (the man on the phone and the man that originally scheduled my installation), they could use some lessons in customer service. How are you supposed to make me, the customer, happy if you don't listen to me?!
The prices are good, especially if you get a good bundle option. I always get a clear picture on my TV. My internet speed is great. My apartment telephone........... STILL DOESN'T WORK.
If you can find a better deal price wise.... GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. If I could, I would. read more
