    Name and address of main company.

    this was a difficult review for me to write because it is negative. I signed on with spectrum 2 years ago for the "magnificent deal" and "great service". After the magnificent deal wore off, the rates increased...which is what I was expecting. But then they increased every couple of months...with no system or connection improvements. I will tell you that they are average at best. My internet speeds were below what I was paying for. In a positive note, Spectrum notifies you when they will be working on the lines, which is nice, but is also an expectation of mine for average service. They also choose later evenings to work on their lines, when the majority of people are asleep. But to try to contact them is a horrendous experience. I tried for the past several months to get a straight answer as to why my bill kept increasing. Over and over I was told that's just the way it is...that's what things cost nowadays. Spectrum charges me twice of what they charged me a year ago. So the last time I called, I went through the cancelation series of their automated phone line. No help yet again. So I interviewed other internet service providers and selected a different company. Today I called Spectrum to cancel my service. I was connected with a super pushy sales-type person who told me she was waiting for my account to come up to disconnect service. While doing so, she asked personal questions and also questions about who I had chosen. Instead of answering, I just kept asking her to please disconnect my service. I informed her several times that if Spectrum had been willing to work with me months ago, I would've stayed. Intimidation might work with some people, but it makes me want to stay away from it. This is horrible customer service. If you came stay away from the spectrum help center and their "customer service", the company is OK. In order to disconnect, I have to pay an additional month of service. But if you need assistance or help or service of any kind, you will be extremely disappointed. The only reason I am being generous with offering a one-star is because of the averageness of the internet connection.

    Waiting an hour to return a box that they keep sending me to attempt to falsely charge me for.

    DESTINY VELAZQUEZ was recommended to me before I moved to the area as my Spectrum representative. Big mistake. My equipment was not at my apartment the day of my move in - despite ordering it 3 weeks prior. I spent over an hour of my move in day going to get the equipment and waiting in line for her mistake - as she advised me to do. Now, I have been sent multiple boxes in the mail and they keep getting sent to me after I send them back. I have called, texted, and emailed Destiny with no response. After I signed up under her, she went completely MIA. I visited this store and was greeted with a hostile demeanor by a representative with glasses, and was advised to wait for a turn since I didn't have an appointment. I waited for nearly an hour before calling it quits. Not sure about others, but when you work 60-70 hour weeks, you don't have time to wait around to take care of someone else's mistakes. There is no number to call for customer service. I have been completely stuck. I highly do not recommended spectrum and am looking to switch to AT&T. You will never be able to reach out to anyone, Wi-Fi will be spotty, they will attempt to send & charge you for random boxes, your equipment will not be there on your move in date, and your rep will ghost you.

    Store clean and nice looking.

    The Spectrum Phone Rep at Riverview was the best customer service I ever received from a phone store. Lamar is the best customer service Representative ever!!

    Useless associates goofing off instead of helping people.

    So disappointed as I was really looking forward to moving my service to Frontier/ Verizon Fios…read more However this was not to be. My original install was scheduled for July 5th. When no equipment or installers arrived, I spent an hour and a half on the telephone trying to sort it out. The four people I spoke with all apologized and couldn't understand why or how it had been canceled. An email arrived advising that I was to do a self install, although no equipment has ever been sent and it would be impossible for me to install FIOS! Another install was scheduled and assurances made that the installers would in fact come the following week July 10, and the equipment would be there prior to that date. When no equipment arrived and they did not show for a 2nd time today, I called in to cancel. 6 different people all politely apologized to me and tried to assure me that they would come on a third scheduled appointment on the 12th! Seriously? Imagine my surprise when I received a bill today from Frontier for services started on July 5 ( original scheduled install date) Dennis in the retention department finally was able to cancel my order, cancel my account, and request credit removing all charges. Yet it will be 7-10 days for approval, he tells me not to pay this account, and there shouldn't be a problem. I have an order confirmation # and it won't be a surprise to me if I have to follow up on this also. I have no confidence in Frontier after so many blunders and wasted time. My service was never even started, but they are billing me for it. Each time I have had to call in, it take several people and about an hour and a half transferring you between departments. Do you have time for this? I would hope this organization takes a real look at their lack of communication between departments and becomes more proactive than apologetic.

    Be prepared to be available all day and then stood up without notice. This happened to me more than…read moretwice without warning or call back from the company. Then you will have to call them back and wait 30 minutes then explain to the rep only to be transferred to support with a grand total of 2 hrs on the phone. As if it wasn't frustrating enough to be stood up!! 1 star only because the fios service.

    I want to offer a balanced review of my experience with Frontier, so you can be aware and decide if…read morethis is the internet company for you. I moved into a newer apartment complex in New Tampa and chose Frontier as my internet service provider. The customer service, setup, technician service, and service in general were good. No issues. I recently tried to cancel my Frontier internet service because I'm moving out of state after 18 months. First, I checked their website to see if I could transfer service, but it wasn't available. Then I tried to cancel online, only to find out you can't--you have to call an agent. After working a 12‑hour overnight shift, I called customer service, exhausted but determined to cancel by the end of the month. When I finally reached an agent, I explained my situation and asked to cancel. Instead of helping me, he stalled and kept pushing questions and sales pitches. He asked things like how I knew Frontier couldn't cover my new apartment, who was moving into my old place, and whether they'd want Frontier service. I told him repeatedly that I didn't have that information and that I just needed my service canceled. No matter how many times I asked, he ignored me, kept putting me on hold, and followed what felt like a script designed to keep me as a customer rather than listening to me. I was frustrated, exhausted, and felt completely unheard. All I wanted was a straightforward cancellation, but instead, I was met with resistance and pressure. Finally, I was not getting satisfaction and ended the call. I called back, luckily got another agent, and got my services cancelled. However, as a consolation prize, Frontier is charging me a $50 restocking fee after 18 months of use. What? So, if you want consistent, good internet service, do not mind the runaround when you wish to cancel your services, and are okay with being penalized a $50 fee for returning the equipment, this is the company for you! For the leaders of Frontier, please do better by your customers! Thank you for your time to look at my review!

    I highly advise you avoid this company…read more After using their service for 4 years, they shut down our service based on the request of the new customers who were purchasing our home from us. I use wireless for my work so I was in a very unpleasant situation the last two weeks of living in our home. This is the only utility company I have ever heard of that shuts down services without speaking to the homeowner first to verify. Then, to top things off, they had the audacity to send us a $58.00 bill, with threat of collection, for a disconnect fee, two months after we left the property. Yes, you read that right - they charged us $58.00 as a final con job and then told us they do this to everyone when they end their service with them.

I know loyalty means nothing, but for over 20 years I have passed on cable, streaming, etc. and stayed loyal to DirectTV, but now, not going to take it anymore!

You have so many other options, go the other routes. I am not some quack, I have enjoyed my time with DirectTV for over 20 years, but loyalty not reciprocated is insanity!!!

We loose service all the time during the summer and they never offer any compensation for the time the service doesn't work. Also, after your first 12 months they up your bill by 50%. Now, I went to cancel my service after my contract expired, and they still charge me an ETF fee. The only response I get is "That's the policy." Your overpriced services and terrible customer service is why you and all other cable companies will be gone soon. You don't value your customers and now it's too late to change. Good Riddance

It was VERY difficult to understand any of their tech support. That is very frustrating. I had to call several times to finally talk to someone who somewhat understood what I was trying to say. Next, the tech who ended up coming to our house today was VERY nice BUT, he was flustered because he had to do a lot of work to make FIOS work again. I don't blame him for being flustered about that though, if the first tech who was here to hook everything up would have done it properly, he wouldn't have had to come out to fix everything - the problem was however, he forgot to hook our bedroom TV cables back up in the attic. I've paid for 2 On Demand movies, HD Movies weren't working so was out that money, now the TV in the bedroom isn't working at all - it's been a couple weeks now that I have had problems, paying a WHOPPING bill with service that's not working and tech service that quite frankly sucks. If I had another choice for cable optic service, I would take it in a heartbeat. I tried taking on Verizon chat to have the tech come back out to the house (he forgot to leave his business card) but they said I could be charged for the visit - because of their mistake!!
