Worst experience with any kind of utility ever!! Had service hooked up Jan 6 and it worked for…read moreless than 48 hours... had a service tech out on Jan 9 and he replaced the equipment. That time the service lasted less than 5 hours. I cancelled the service that week and switched to Verizon. I returned the modem I had on Jan 13. Then I got a bill for $108 because of the set up fee and "service period". I paid it just to not have to deal with them any more! Now 6 weeks later I'm still fighting a charge for equipment they say I didn't return, but it's the modem the technician took back with him during the service call but he never left me with a receipt. I've had no less than 1 call a week and multiple emails and even the text service. Each time I'm told it will be cleared and then the next week I get some form of a reminder to return equipment or pay the $240 fee. Now several weeks and multiple calls later I FINALLY am told I need a ticket to open a case... so the saga continues...

This is the worst possible communications company. They over sell their capabilities. They lie. The…read moreservice is literally so slow that I have to go home to upload data through my Verizon internet. I just had a class that had to be cancelled because the internet was down, but they claim they charge the ridiculous amount that they do because they are providing better service than what is provided to residential customers. They trap you in a contract that you can't get out of without paying the full price of the contract. I've never heard of any other company doing that. They know their service is bad. They trap you so that you have to stay stuck with their crappy service. As soon as I can afford to get away from them, I am dumping them. I'd be willing to bet if they told their customers they were released from their contracts, most of them would run as fast as they can. Do yourself a favor, don't sign with cox. They are overpriced, they over promise, and then you're stuck. I regret it everyday single day.

had an absolutely wonderful experience with Mia at Verizon! She is truly a genius at what she does…read more She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely went above and beyond to help me. Mia made what could have been a stressful and confusing situation feel completely easy. She explained everything clearly, answered every question I had, and never once made me feel rushed. You can tell she really knows her stuff and genuinely cares about helping her customers. She is an absolute asset to Verizon, and honestly, employees like Mia are the reason people have such a great experience. If you ever have the opportunity to work with her, you are in excellent hands. Thank you, Mia, for being amazing!

We had a very pleasant phone upgrade experience with Jorge. It was seamless. He was knowledgeable,…read moreoffered services without being pushy. Some things we needed, got and glad he mentioned them and declined what we didn't need. We live in Reston and earlier went to a location in Sterling. We left because of poor service. We avoided this location because of overall low review rating, which I think currently is inaccurate. We also found out this location is a Verizon corporate store vs. authorized dealer. I know we had an unexpected pleasant encounter with Jorge and hope others will too.

I was here at the Center for Innovative Technology for a training class that took place Feb 5th…read morethrough Feb 8th. The company that was providing the training is not located in this facility but leases the training room for specific classes. The building itself is absolutely beautiful. The technology? Not so much. Innovation. Not at all. Now I'm sure from all the security, like having to be buzzed in to the parking area, that there is great (and very cool) work being done in the tall building on the grounds by the companies housed there. However, there is a "public" space in the shorter building where companies rent out classrooms or the auditorium for events that is almost comical for how technologically backwards it is. The classroom we used was just a room with some generic table and chairs set up. The projector was on a cart in the middle of the tables with a big extension cord running along the floor from a wall outlet. To participate in the class, we had to bring our own laptops because the facility does not have computers in the classroom. We connected to the Internet through a very weak WiFi connection that was so slow it hampered our ability to perform the lab exercises that relied on that connection. We were each given a $10 coupon to use for lunch in the building's cafeteria which was not a good experience. We quickly learned to avoid anything other than the salad bar (which was actually not bad) and bottled soda/water. One day I made a mistake of grabbing a pre-made chicken salad sandwich to go with my salad. It had obviously been a leftover from a previous day as the top piece of bread was stale and the bottom piece was a mushy mess as it had absorbed all the moisture from the tomatoes. I noticed that no one from the big office building came there for lunch. Again, the facility is beautiful and might be nice to visit for a presentation in the auditorium but otherwise this facility really doesn't have much to recommend it.

I have now worked with 1st security for both on my homes. The staff really work hard to make sure…read morethat you are totally satisfied with your install, as well as troubleshooting or addressing anything that comes up along the way. For me it's those two things that really stand out. Customer service and "it just works." In terms of customer service, it's hard to do better. The company's response time to questions is very fast. That's pretty much what you want. As for "it just works," the Alarm.Com system and equipment they are a dealer for really gives you peace of mind. It's actually secure. I could not be more pleased to work with and recommend the company.

The monitoring is essentially useless. The company will bind you in a 3-year contract…read more At the end of the contract they wont cancel it. In spite of what they told me two months before upon an inquiry I made. Instead they continued to debit my account. There is no way to stop it from your bank. Be aware of the scam and of their lies. When I cancelled with a form that I have to fill out, there was no acknowledgement. They still debited my bank account. They argued that there was a 3 days cancellation policy; this 3 months after my 3 year contract has ended. I have to yell for them to promise a refund for only 1 month. I am holding my breath. If this goes on, I will take them to court.

Mike with Saratoga is phenomenal. I have had this since last October and it does everything I want…read moreit to and more. We have had only one small issue with it. I didn't even know about it. Mike actually called me to tell me and came over the same day to fix it. I have been able to reach him whenever I had a question. His prices are very reasonable. Best of all I don't deal with any buffering while I'm using the Internet or my husband is watching tv. There have been times when we have had four people in the house with us all on the Internet or tv and we haven't had any issues at all. I would definitely give him a call and see for yourself.

Bruce was great from the very beginning! He was quick to respond to my inquiry. He tried to help me…read moreover the phone right away in case it was something simple. When it turned out to be more, he came to my house to diagnose the issue. When it was found to be more than he could fix quickly in-site, he took my laptop with him to repair. He kept me updated along the way and made me feel very comfortable. In our initial conversation he told me, "I respect your data and will make sure to keep it in tact", this was what solidified my decision to use him. The repair was secondary, recovering my data was my top priority- and he did just that!! My laptop is back up and running and all my data has been restored. Thank you, a million times, THANK YOU, Bruce!!

This is my 2nd time at this location and wow! The store manager Rodrigo does not know what he is…read moredoing. First issue I had about year ago and he said he couldn't help me worked on his computer kept on saying no no, I went to location in Reston and the issue was resolved by the store manager there. Today was my 2nd issue, t mobile customer service told me I can drop off my broken phone to any location and they will mail it. Well guess what I came to the same location thinking it would be better this time. But guess who walks up to help me again Rodrigo, and I told him about the damaged phone and how I need it to be sent out. He goes oh no we can't do that, unless you are trading in a phone. This guy simply does not know what he is doing,

I was next in line so I knew it would not be a problem for me to get service. Now for all the others waiting and it was getting closer to closing. I have just 2 questions: 1) why did you come close to closing? You are expecting these people to stay after hours and help you? 2) why are you taking your lack of common sense on these people when they can't help you because they are closing? I have been coming to this location for years and never have I had a problem with anyone that works here. I have 8 lines on my plan and they always handle my requests swiftly. PEOPLE PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES, can you do what they do for 8-10 hrs a day? Crazy requests made by crazy people, one after another. BE NICE, BE PATIENT...check your attitude at the door!
