    Was considering signing up with them but....I'm not so sure they are truly a 'local' NYC-based…read morecompany. When I called to sign up (THREE times now, but still no call back) it was as if I was connected to some 'answering' service in a backroom in the Midwest somewhere. (I don't know many local companies with answering services besides doctor's offices or plumbers or something.) Also, the woman seemed to have an accent (NOT New York). She also seemed to not know NYC neighborhoods...when I gave her my Astoria address she was like 'ok, so that's in Astoria, New York, 11105'? The way she said it, it was as if she'd never heard of Astoria. I then said to her 'is this an NYC-based company?' She seemed to hesitate. I told her I was under the impression it was. She then said 'oh yes'. I said 'and where are you located?' She said 'I'm at the head office....Broad Street...I mean...Broadway'. Hmmm.... Another time I called and was told that 'Josh' (apparently the only person at this 'office' who can set up a new account)...that Josh was 'on vacation' apparently abroad...that he was 'asleep right now'...but that they'd send him another message to call me. Also interesting is that of the FEW reviews they have on Yelp, one reviewer has only written ONE (stellar) review ...naturally for Bway.net....and the other reviewer has only written TWO reviews. Hmmm

    Bway is simply everything good left in this world. A human touch to the service with actual…read moreinteraction with people you can get to know. The barren cold alternative I tried was the big corp internet provider in NYC. Bway offers amazing reliable and fast service. An internet you can rely on. While all these perks come at a higher tag, there is an astounding amount of frustration you are saving yourself from. Trust me. Every little interaction with the big corp internet providers in town will leave you feeling frustrated, empty and violated. Bway is worth every penny. In addition, they offer a static IP as a standard. You always have a dedicated reliable line. That opens up a multitude of potential.

    Excellent customer service experience!…read more Worked with agent Ann David over the phone. She is knowledgeable, thorough and extremely patient (I ask a lot of questions!) I began the day prepared to cancel RCN service....i am happy to remain an RCN customer. Ann made what cou have been a frustrating experience into an easy one. I wish all customer service agents would be as dedicated and professional as Ann I was not asked to post a review

    As has been said before by many others, this company has bad customer service. Far worse than the…read moreservice is their dishonesty. Astound is a good name for these people. The low level customer service and the way the company bilks customers is astounding. They claim to be giving you a five (5) year price lock. In my case, two months later they change the name of your promotion to Promotion for Life. They say that this means that only the taxes can go up if they do, but not the price for the service in my case, $40.00 with $5.66 in taxes for a total of $45.66. Do not be fooled. All their promotions, regardless of names, can be renamed and repriced at any time. They actively promote Autobilling, which means they take the money directly out of your bank account each month. It is not worth getting a $5 reduction to have these crooks get access to your bank account. Once you provide them with your bank account number, they can help themselves to any amount. Prices with Astound change at the drop of a hat. They do this by claiming that your plan's name was changed. What this means is that they hiked the price. Am actively going to see if I can find a better deal elsewhere. These people are nasty and only interested in bilking customers. These are seasoned scam artists.

    After many years of service, I saw my rates going up year after year. When I called them every…read moreyear to ask them about this, Cablevision would give me consideration after I threatened to disconnect my service. However, this year was the straw that broke the camel's back. I received a written notice that my rates were going up for 2012. I called customer service and wound my way through to various departments. I explained to them I had been through this rodeo before and I'd like to work with them to lower my rate again. However, this time was different. I was told by the person on the phone that they could "do nothing" for me. So I called their bluff and switched to Verizon Fios (which had not been an option previously). Fast forward a week or two after I signed up for Fios and I started getting "Come back to us" calls from Cablevision. The best one? A call where a customer service representative berated me for a half hour for switching, threatening that I will "regret" my decision and telling straight out lies about Verizon (for instance, claiming they had no tech support after 7pm, which is untrue). She couldn't explain why I had not been given discount consideration when I initially called, and I told her that had that customer service rep given me the discount then and there, I would have stayed. After that conversation, I received a couple more phone calls from different representatives and several pieces of mail offering me a gangbusters deal to come back, but it was too little too late. Another note: the internet service became atrocious over the years. When I wrote my first review in 2009, it was fantastic, but by late 2010 and 2011 there were times I couldn't even get a google search done without walking away for a few minutes and coming back. Contacting their tech support never resulted in any success in resolving the issue and often it would just be because so many people in the area were taking up bandwidth that I was simply hitting a choke point. It's always sad when I have to give a negative review, but the fact is that having a customer service person berate you for making a decision with your own money is just bad business practice. Having them lie as well? Even worse. Poor show, Cablevision.
