Well, day four of the Optimum/Suddenlink fiasco. Cable box doesn't show to be on my account. Service tech made a job ticket to have it programmed but after a day and a half nothing. This company apparently is a scam. Monday the box is going back. I am done with this lack of service. read more

This is a horrible service. Every single part. No communication, if there is TERRIBLE service! SCAMS YOU INTO UPGRADING BUT THE SERVICE IS HORRIBLE! WiFi is so horrible I can't even watch a tv show without it having "issues" 5 times or more. I can't do anything with this WiFi, they call all the time after confirming appointments. The whole company is a mess and it's NOT worth the trouble. I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

So it's been since July 11th and my internet problems are still not solved. I've contacted the BBB, the Attorney General, the FCC. They don't care and you can't make them care. I've had four technicians, four modems, 14 technical calls and two in office visits. Nothing. Nothing, Nothing. And my last service call they cancelled because why? I don't know. And I've talked to corporate, they consider it just fine because maybe they have credited my account for a few days of no internet. I HATE Suddenlink. The people have ZERO idea of what they are doing, the equipment doesn't work, and no one cares. read more

Overall, just a terrible company to deal with. You'll experience a long wait time for customer service and there's a high probability that they won't get your issue resolved to your satisfaction. Extremely overpriced for what they deliver. read more

Bill goes up every billing cycle with no explanation. Charges on the bill are not clear. Customer service is one of the worst if not the worst in the industry. Service is becoming less reliable over time. read more

VERY CLOSE TO FILING COMPLAINTS WITH FTC, FCC, BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, AND MY LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. Fraudulent and nefarious business practices. Not to mention, extremely inconvenient to deal with. They do not care about their customers at all. I canceled my service three months ago, and they are still charging me. I've called repeatedly, and a few times I even managed to get a human being on the line (at least an hour wait every time). They've all been totally unhelpful, so I've gotten them to promise a supervisor call back. This either results in no call, or a useless call that didn't help at all. Nowadays, I can't even get a hold of a human on the phone. I've called FOUR different customer service numbers repeatedly, and the recording just tells me to use the website, and doesn't give the option to wait for a representative. This is pointless, because the website does nothing. Suddenlink! If you are reading this! Please get your act together! read more

Suddenlink sucks. There should be more competition when it comes to internet providers in BCS. The waiting times on the phone are horrible. Had a tech show up one time in an unmarked blazer suv thing and looked so tore up. He didnt know what he was doing. The internet speed itself is ok..priced way too high for what you get but there are few options to choose from. read more

Had an incredible experience. Moved to a new home and had a tech that was so nice and helpful. His name is Andrew Garza. He went way above and beyond helping us get things set up even available way after hours. Another tech that helped was Angel Ramirez. What incredible young men. Thank you Andrew for your incredible help. Five star ***** read more

Horrible service during solar flare activity. After 3 hrs of excuses, I'm done with their incompetence. My friends in city and state offices have told me to leave them after the bad stories they heard and experienced. read more

Run away...... They're lucky, only because they have no competition. Their service is terrible. Their network is even worse. They don't care about their customers at all. If you call them you might as well hang up. They won't answer any questions you have, just bounce you back and forth from different employees until you give up in frustration. Please please please can some other business come in so we can put them out? I'm tired of being treated poorly especially by someone who I pay for a service. read more

No competition interested in setting up the infrastructure to service this area and Suddenlink KNOWS THIS. They have little incentive to provide decent prices, decent service, or even a decent product. Just recently exceeded our data cap (whole separate soap box) while we were out of the country for three week. To their credit, they eventually refunded us the overage, but after several phone calls and lots of hoops to jump through. They came out a few months ago and replaced our modem, and the tech used the wrong power cord causing the internet to crash every few mins. This went on for several days because we didn't want to call them out to have the tech determine it was something on our end, not fix anything and charge us a service fee. This latest incident (and the final straw before writing this monstrosity) we again somehow exceeded our data cap, and finally broke down and upped our service to their top package to avoid a data cap. They had to come out and instal a new modem, and since yesterday has been crashing every 20 minutes or so. I don't know if it's another power cord issue, or what, but I honestly don't even care. It's ALWAYS something with this company. If McDonald's offered neighborhood internet on par with the quality of their burgers I'd sign up in an instant. There is no redeeming quality, I am gone THE DAY another company moves in. P.s. the internet crashed three times during the making of this review. read more

Poor customer service is one thing you can't have in this town! Went with another cable and internet provider! The service went out like 5 times in the past two weeks as well due to overload in the area! read more

Suddenlink is a terrible provider of customer service. I have been without service for 2 weeks and no end in sight. I had to schedule an appointment to fix the problem, the were to be here between 8:00 am and 11:00 am today it is now 2:00 pm and I'm still waiting. I even called and after an hour was told to hold a moment, well I was on hold for another 45 minutes or so and was told I was on the schedule. My request to have a supervisor contact me ( second time) and an hour has passed and still no call. Suddenlink should change their name to Suckenlink! read more

Ever since Altice bought out Suddenstink the service and quality have steadily declined. I now can only watch about 65% of the shows I normally watch and the internet goes down multiple times per day. It's no use trying to call them because you will be in the phone over 2 hours and still not talk to them. I've tried 3 times and after 2 hours each time I had to quit. I have more important things to take care of other than being tied up on hold. Going to have to look at alternatives I guess. I hate satellite but they at least stay on more than Suddenlink. I wish I could give them about minus 25 stars read more

Avoid at all costs. Horrible service, horrible customer service. Was forced into using them because of the area I was living in and I will never again. read more

If I could give them 0 stars I would. The absolute worst internet company to deal with. They have a monopoly here in Bryan/College Station and outsource their customer service. So make sure you have plenty of time to wait. They said they were going to upgrade us to over 200 mbps and every time I check the download speed it can't even get over 50. Our internet is constantly spotty even in the afternoons when there's less traffic. Suddenlink is the absolute worst. read more

If you have any other options for cable service take them. I've had cable service in a number of other states over the past 30 years. This is without a doubt the worst. You can go for days without service and never get promised refunds. And when you finally cancel they keep sending you bills. And because they have your phone number they will only route you into a bot net with no options to talk to a human to resolve the charges. read more

This business has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The staff is extremely rude and unhelpful. They are unconcerned with their customers' issues regarding their services, more specifically an employee named Nicholas. Being in the service industry, I typically refrain from using yelp, however the unprofessionalism is appalling. The first problem is the automated system is undeveloped and poorly managed. When displaying options for an issue one is calling about there is no option to speak to a representative. I might as well be on the DIY channel. Secondly, when an individual upgrades to a faster internet speed (which has an additional cost), they should not be experiencing slower speeds than before hand. The customer is paying y'all a monthly fee to provide this service and y'all fail miserably. People are less reluctant spend more if the service provide is exquisite. Needless to say, I do not recommend using Suddenlink as your internet provider. Having been a customer for an extended period of time, I am disappointed with the overall quality from in-house employees to the technical aspects. For these reasons, I will be disconnecting my services and giving my money to another internet provider who holds themselves to a higher standard. read more

Spotty ISP, brief periods of no internet or large amounts of packet loss about every one an hour or so. This is in my area in Bryan, TX. Provided routers also drop wireless signal about every hour or so. Edit:a word. read more

I wish I didn't have to give a star at all. This is by far the worst Internet provider service ever. The Internet loses service on an average of 3 times a month for 2-16 hours. Of course u can call but there are no humans to answer questions. You will be told by auto voice that there is a service interruption in your area and most interruptions are resolved within 2 hours. NEVER TRUE. Plus, they do not give any credit for the time the Internet is out. They just continue to charge. Weekends and weekdays the services goes out without any bad weather or reason. I am anxiously awaiting a new provider to come along in my area. For now I am stuck with Suddenlink which is a company that does not care about their customers. Or the inconvenience they cause. read more

my suddenlink bill was 217$ for internet and cable- I'm a chemistry graduate student at a&m and that bill is literally 10% of my paycheck- so yeah I was pissed. The only way I could ever get ahold of an actual person was if I lied and told the prompts was I thinking about buying something from them- I had to do this every time I needed to call suddenlink. They have a monopoly in college station, they offer 400Mbps now but you wouldn't know it other than your bill. I dropped them, got a different internet provider an sling and my bill now is 60$ a month. I use the internet all the time, I stream on 3 TVs and it never buffers, I have nest, ring, alexa, google home, and all smart lights- I use frontier for internet and while they can't offer 400mbps, I never have any issues, nothing buffers or freezes. ((No one needs 400mbps)) but suddenlink will be happy to charge you for it If you're new in town or you're frustrated with suddenlink (which ALL of my neighbors are, yours probably are too if you're on the Nextdoor app) drop them, quickly, because they'll raise your bill next month. Hands down the worst company I've ever experienced dealing with SUDDENLINK IS A SCAM read more

This is the worst company I've ever dealt with. They can't fix anything the first time. I've been in to their store 4 times this week and on the phone with tech support for over 2 hours and still no service. When a tech did come to my house things worked for 1 hr and then quit. When you call in, they constantly transfer you from one department to another. Half the people you can't understand. Don't know where they outsourced their tech support to but they suck. Now I can't get my internet fixed for over a week. I hate this company and would never recommend them to anyone. Go with ATT and Direct TV if you live in Bryan/College Station. I wouldn't even give them one star rating but I had to choose a rating!! read more

Save yourself, DON'T USE THEIR SERVICES!!! THEY ARE LUCKY I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO SUE THEM YET!!! I signed up with them a month ago, paid for the technician and first month bill on the spot. This month I received about 10 voice message (couldn't pick up cause I'm schooling all day) told me need to pay for the bill again. Each of those time when I call back to customer service (had to go through long and hectic process every time), they just told me don't worry, they'll update my payment detail eventually, it would take sometime, but everything is fine, they'll take care of it. So you can imagine my surprise when MY SERVICE WAS CUT OFF ALL OF SUDDEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN I DON'T OWN THEM ANYTHING!!!!! Yes that's right, they cut of my service while promising me they won't (as they shouldn't). And the worse part is, there was no warning. I was completing a long form online when it just went to their payment page. EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN WORKING ON IS GONE THANKS TO THEM!!! What's even worse than this is, when I try to call the company and solve the problem, the voice system told me I WON'T BE ABLE TO TALK TO ANY ANGENT UNLESS I PAY THEM AGAIN?! PURE BLACKMAILING!!! And since I'm at school all day on weekdays and the office don't open on weekends, I can't even physically go to their office and talk to them about it. HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN AND I STILL HAVE NO INTERNET!!! I would give them negative stars if I could. read more

Unreliable service delivery. Facilities out to the customer have frequent problems. Customer service is difficult to connect with as their dial in phone tree tends to drop you a canned message and then disconnect. I'm planning to disconnect and go with the other option, even if it costs a bit more. Complete BS! don't waste your time with these clowns. read more

TERRIBLE service, ABYSMAL customer service, long waits to even attempt to talk to anyone whether online, by phone or in person. Frequent billing errors, that when on EZ Pay (autopay) should NEVER happen. Had to dispute charges with my bamk after Suddenlink charged me twice for one month, after they'd charged me regularly for the month prior but sent me notices that there was an error in the payment and that my payment was late. Tried numerous times to rectify and was repeatedly told they were aware of the error in their system, yet they still charged me double the following month. Can't wait until the monopoly is over and another provider becomes an option, people will bail from Suddenlink like a sinking ship. read more

Among the worst customer service companies I've dealt with in my 55 years of life. It should not just the service side, the billing side it's the entire operation including their office in Bryan Texas read more

Several outages every day. Multiple techs came out no fix. Wouldn't use this service if it wasn't my only option. Terrible

Suddenlink is a nightmare. I have spent 5 plus hours trying to get my email transferred to my new husband's account. The end result is that he and I were added to my ex- husband's account. My ex- husband had to remove us and set up a new password. My husband and I now have NO access to our emails and are waiting on a call which could take up to 48 hrs. I was in the Suddenlink office last week in Bryan and was told they couldn't do anything technical. There is hope for this company. I have NEVER heard a positive review. read more

My roommate has an account with Suddenlink that we split. I pay for half the bill each month. Around the end of April 2020 and the Beginning of May 2020 I called in to troubleshoot an intermittent issue with connection to the internet. Instead of troubleshooting the issue they decided to send a tech. This wasn't resolved for at least 2 months with techs being sent by Suddenlink (that we never requested) every 2-3 weeks when we called to tell them that the service was still having the intermittent issue. Each time the tech replaced a cable or a splitter on the outside of our house and incorrectly signed their own paperwork that we approved of their charges. This did not resolve the issue ever. Finally, we were sent a tech supervisor and he accused us of having faulty wiring in our walls. We advised him of the issue and he stated he would check their "node." Did nothing to the house, signed his own paperwork, and we were charged another $60. Luckily, it seems he correctly identified the problem with the "node" and our internet service has since been fixed. Due to some of the errors of their billing and tech support reps you have added a tax for TV service which we have never purchased through Suddenlink. Because multiple techs also signed their own work orders stating that we approved of the charges for the tech visit we were charged and had to make multiple escalations for refunds. Again, we have never approved of the charges. Each month they have refunded one of the charges and there is still one charge that has yet to be refunded. Remember this problem started 4 months ago. Yeah. In addition, as part of another error they changed our service from 400mbps to 200mbps. We were restored to our 400mbps service after several weeks of the incorrect service that we did not approve to be changed. This had the effect of removing discounts that were on our account before the problems started. When my roommate signed up he was promised a "price for life" guarantee for his $400mbps so outside of tax fluctuations (and whatever bull crap fee they want to add) it should have remained $46.44 each month. We were promised an additional $10 off each month (for a year) starting with July 2st bill for our inconveniences. This discount was never applied. At this point we have paid each month on time and they have not done anything correct or provided anything they promised us. We have over paid $46.58 based on what they have promised us over the phone. We were told it would be reflected on the next month's bill and instead we have yet another charge for a tech and a confusing total of $63.76 for the month of September. Which still includes TV taxes and the tech fee. Remember problem started in April...yeah. My roommate and I have made complaints to the FCC and the BBB. We want our bill lowered to $36.44 per month as promised and all tech fees removed from the account. We want the taxes to follow only the service (internet) that we pay for. And we want either the $46.58 that we overpaid for the service refunded to us or applied to the September month's bill on the account. That's a total of $110.34 that's $46.58 from last month (August statement) and $63.76 this month (September Statement). And we'd like them to give us a $100 amazon card like they give new customers for the extra inconveniences. This negative review will not be removed. read more

Monopoly. This company is by far the worst internet provider I have ever dealt with, worst customer service and internet never seems to work. One thing I'm happy about leaving this town is not having suddenlink anymore... read more

Charged me a late fee on an auto draft bill. yelled at me on the phone telling me there are no outages when i am just calling to report an outage. constant increase in internet bill cost. terrible customer service, if you even talk to a human... also billing and service dates are not correlated so you almost always over pay if you try to end service. literally the WORST internet service provider i have ever had. Wish i could rate lower than 1 star. read more

I get a speed of 30-50 when I'm paying for 400. I have reported it several times and they always blame it on my modem. I have upgraded my modem twice and now it supports up to 1GB and I still get the same low speeds. We need another service provider in this area. read more

This company is beyond a joke! The overages they charge you for internet is senseless for a company whose internet is not even the best I'm basically stuck with them because it's no other companies here where im located. If you have any type of choice please choose a different company and save yourself the headache read more

LITERALLY THE WORST PROVIDER!!!!! Wish they had a different choice in college station! They tell you a "set" rate but after two months upcharge your bill. I paid my bill last month have it on my bank account, of it on the statement from Suddenlink but they want to charge me $196 because it's "past due" when I paid it. read more

If I had the option to select zero stars, I would. Suddenlink, their call center and customer service is by far the worst I have ever experienced. To recap, I was moving into a new apartment in July 2021, so I called to set up a "personal" account for internet services. Quite literally, the next day I was informed that my complex has a bulk internet account with Suddenlink and the "personal" account wasn't necessary. So, I cancelled my installation request and asked Suddenlink to cancel this account and refund my initial payment. I was told they would do so. Come to find out months later, now being November 2021 Suddenlink was still charging my card for this account I was told got cancelled and never received service for. So I took my payment method off of that account so I wouldn't be charged going forward. Suddenlink then said my account was delinquent and turned off internet services to not only this account that was supposedly canceled but also the bulk internet account I have through my apartment due to them both being linked to the same address. As of today, I have yet to be refunded for the months I was charged in error and my bulk internet service which is fully paid through my apartment is still turned off. read more

I have dealt with Suddenlink both as an individual and as a company. They are terrible either way. The service is hit or miss. Their data monitoring is constantly down. That doesn't give you any help when you have a data cap. They say the only way to get "accurate" data usage is "through their website", so how am I to make sure I don't go over my limit. They just hint at wait and see, but of course, they don't actually say it. I asked what to do if I get charged through a fault on their part. The answered I got was "That depends on the situation". The situation is, you charged me for something that you shouldn't have. Now, where's my refund? I asked what they would tell a legal official the process was and that, of course, was ignored. Oh, I almost forgot. They are more than willing to take your money by auto draft, mail or phone, but not online. They are an internet company, right? They obviously have the ability since they can auto draft. If you have any questions good luck in getting any answers. If everything goes smoothly, which it doesn't, you'll be fine. read more

They blatantly took advantage of my grandparents. Internet connection and cable issues were an everyday occurrence. Calling to get any kind of service or support yielded lengthy wait times and charges from said service visits. My family's bill LITERALLY TRIPLED which resulted in one final service call during which the contracted (meaning he was not obligated to be loyal to SLink) personnel told my fam to switch and "chase the specials". Reasoning behind his logic, as he explained it was that Suddenlink advertised incredible rates for NEW clients then upped their bill after a period to recoup costs for offering those specials to gain new clients again, so! Loyalty's out the proverbial window. They could care less about their clients once they've signed the dotted line. They exercise poor customer service, a lack of ethics, and overall deplorable business practices all due (in my opinion) to a lack of options in BCS. read more

The worst company I have ever encountered in my life. We had a 3 week internet outage without any obvious cause where no tech was allowed to show up until the outage was cleared. There was no alternative hotspot option provided by suddenlink. And when a tech was finally able to come out I was specifically told that I would not receive a charge for the service and I would be credited on the next bill for the time the internet was out. Not only was I charged $60 for the tech service, I was charged full price that month. So I called the next month. ONCE AGAIN, I was given assurances that both the outage and tech service would be credited. Next month comes around, and I am charged full price again. They tell you what you want to hear, and they lie to get you off the phone so they can take advantage of customers that have no other option. If you have literally any other option choose them. If you can get by sending letters via carrier pigeon, it will be a more efficient use of resources than signing an internet contract with Suddenlink. read more
