    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.

    This morning, I went to pick up a TV after receiving a notification that it was ready for pickup…read more When I arrived at the store, I gave the associate my customer ID number, and she assured me she would retrieve my order. Unfortunately, the TV couldn't be located, and I ended up waiting... and waiting. After 25 minutes, I was still standing there with no update on an item that was supposedly ready. I'm a patient person, but at that point, I felt it was more than reasonable to ask for a manager. I spoke with Gracie, and while I made it clear that it wasn't the cashier's fault, something clearly went wrong behind the scenes for a "ready for pickup" order to cause such a delay. I'm not sure what the holdup was, but I found the situation unprofessional and disappointing. Customer service is what keeps a business running, and when it's lacking, it leaves a lasting impression. At this point, I'm uncertain if I'll shop at this Best Buy location again. Just sharing my honest experience -- best of luck to anyone else planning to pick up from here.

    AVOID - HOLDING $4,591.64 FOR 108+ DAYS…read more Best Buy Mount Vernon took my CASH and has refused to return my money for over 100 days. TIMELINE: - 7/25/25: Returned $4,814.53 (paid cash).

Best Buy agents: - Refused remote assistance - Told me to "send a friend or family member" instead - Made me travel to store repeatedly despite mobility limitations THE IMPACT: - Late on rent (missing $4,591.64) - Business shut down (can't afford phone) - Delayed medical care - 108+ days of financial hardship WHAT BEST BUY VIOLATED: Their own 10-day refund policy Federal consumer protection laws ADA disability requirements Made false promises (manager's email never sent) This isn't customer service failure - it's theft by delay. They took my cash, won't prove they sent checks, refuse to help disabled customer. CASE ID: 362871333 MEMBER ID: (My Best Buy Plus member treated like garbage) BBB complaint filed. Federal complaints in process. DO NOT PAY CASH FOR RETURNS OVER $800 AT THIS STORE. You trust a company that takes your cash then makes you beg for 100+ days? AVOID BEST BUY MOUNT VERNON #471.

    The day of Packer Lion big game our internet and TV went down. My wife works from home so having…read morethe internet is critical. We saw a spectrum truck on the next block. My wife opened a support ticket. In the process, the First Lady she spoke with spent her time trying to sell her more services causing more aggravation as we we were down. After 20 plus minutes, my wife got transferred again. My wife explained that we lost both our TV and internet at the same time. And she told her there was a Spectrum truck nearby. The lady stated "the truck was around for a different issue" and not related to our issue and was rude and insistent about it. They determined our issue had to do with an issue with the feed into the house. Soonest the could get a tech out was in two days. Tech came out Saturday and I explained what happened. We both went to the amplifier and opened it and determined that the Tech driving around Thursday disconnected our cable and forgot to reconnect the coax. The tech reconnected us, but mentioned he sees this two often. He was a good technician and our service was restored. My biggest issue here is that my wife gave Spectrum technical support all of the pertinent information to help resolve the issue. Not only did they insult her by trying to sell her services when we we down, but she didn't bother to contact the tech in the area that day to have him follow up on a nearby outage. Had she contacted the technician, he could have returned to fix the problem, easily by reconnecting the coax cable. It would have taken him a minute to fix. Instead we were down two days. All resulting from a tech in the area doing sloppy work and an untrained phone agent who didn't bother to do her due diligence to contact the field technician. I mean here we have an outage, followed right after someone was right in the area. How much common sense does it take put two and two together. A very rude and stupid lady. Inexcusable! End result, my wife had to drive 50 minutes each way to her office the next two days to work. We also lost access to be able to watch the big game from home. After all the extra gas money, and frustration, Spectrum offered a $4.60 two day credit. What an insult and joke! I am a long time customer of Spectrum and have been patient after numerous outages, increases in bills, poor customer service. This was the final straw. I am going elsewhere now. Spectrum, you deserve a grade F!

    I just moved into a new apt on July 1....Open my mailbox and I literally have 9 letters from…read moreSpectrum. My building is pre wired for cable. So I only wanted to order JUST TV....I had an appointment and was on hold for 20 mins to cancel it and then transferred to another person, only to be put on hold for 40 mins! Then, someone calls me the next day to tell me they are in the neighborhood and could they stop by for the installation ...after I had cancelled it the day before. Three weeks later I made another attempt to actually visit the Spectrum store to try to get JUST cable again....After speaking to 2 people in the Fleetwood store ...Being told I needed to present a copy of my lease. Really Spectrum?...Horrible customer and follow thru!
