Chewed coaxial cable that connected phone line to house
David F.

A TALE OF THREE TECHNICIANS: Internet worked well for one year then started getting spotty in October 2024. My wife called for service and was stood up twice (Monday, Wednesday, waiting 4 hours each time) before someone finally showed up to the scheduled appointment on Thanksgiving (Thursday). Tech checked outside cable and said it was fine but took out an old part inside the outside box on the house that he said was inhibitory. At the time he thought that was the only problem. Was still spotty afterwards, then did not work for 4 days straight. I called 1/1, was not able to get an appointment until 1/3. At that appointment, the tech checked the line outside and inside, said there was nothing wrong with either but that he thought something was wrong with the neighborhood infrastructure either east or west of my house's telephone pole and that an "outside team" would need to look at it. By that day the internet was back to spotty, so he said that he would place the order as routine (5-7 days later) since the internet was still somewhat usable. A week later, we called Spectrum and they said that the case had been closed out the next day, and as far as I could tell it didn't sound like an "outside team" had done anything. I scheduled a third appointment for Saturday morning (1/11) and met the tech. I asked if he had reviewed the previous case, and he said that he hadn't because he doesn't trust the work of a lot of the other technicians. To his credit, he was thorough, checking the house box with the signal strength device, then the telephone pole box, then inside the house, measuring signal strength at each location. When he went up on the ladder to the telephone pole, he noticed two spots on the coaxial cable where squirrels had bitten into, which is likely what caused the problems over the past 3 months, and he replaced the cable. Moral of the story: Don't trust Spectrum, check the entire length of the cable yourself for areas where squirrels may have bitten into, and make sure your tech checks all three spots with their device for signal strength.

Outrageous charges. Switched to faster Greenlight yesterday. The days of negotiating lower prices with Spectrum are over!

I was excited to switch over to Frontier fiber, they are an organization I have known for many…read moreyears. But so, 2 months in, I am less than thrilled with the service. It regularly STOPS, often in the evening as we are enjoying a movie or show on the TV. Suddenly a window pops up that says that CONNECTION IS LOST, the things freeze up. Generally it will reset itself after a couple of minutes ( a few times I have had to unplug and restart modem and router) I had a neighbor as if I would recommend the service, and, I am sad to admit it, but I did tell them to stick with their current provider. I get MANY items, in the mail, email and more about upgrading and adding additional hardware and such. We don't need, and while some of the upgrades would be nice, why would I upgrade when I am so unhappy. Yes it is a good price for fiber, but not for the service we have experience so far.

To those looking for good Internet service, don't go for frontier nor spectrum, they are both…read morehorrible, frontier is lame and they don't fix their outages which means they are not competent enough to be on the spotlight. If ur a person who likes good quality services I recommend you go for Empire Access it's a lil costly but I promise they have no problem with fixing their problems, which if I must be honest they have no problems with their services. Empire access really stand on business, they don't lie nor steal from their customers , on the other hand, frontier and spectrum are outdated and are Internet services that are of the past which is why they are useless nowadays. So yeah if you guys are looking for legendary Internet services [ Empire Access] has what you need, they won't be dishonest they will be solid . For frontier , you guys are outdated y'all should file for bankruptcy now before empire access makes you dumpster shmucks file for bankruptcy. Anyone with high value 'Empire Access' is the go to.

$$$$

Update: with written explanations Bank of America finally removed the $266.64 charge from this…read morehorrendous experience at the Verizon store at 3349 Monroe Ave almost a month later. My phone trade in was finally released from my visit to 3359 Monroe Ave fiasco 2 weeks ago. The silver lining to that was I received $155 more for my trade in at the Verizon Business Center at Culver and University. All three employees I worked with: Mike Kevin and Curtis were great. Avoid the other location!

Went in to this store for tech support. (I didn't realize they don't do any tech support--just…read moresales I guess??) The man who I spoke with was so rude to me. I tried to explain what I had done so far in terms of troubleshooting the issue and researching on the internet. He told me "well I don't work for the internet." (okay....) I said, "apparently this is a pretty common issue with the newer phones that have eSIM cards." His reply: "What do you want me to do about it?" I mean, "help me, maybe?" I've never felt so disrespected for doing nothing but walking into the same store where I had gotten my phone less than 2 months prior, asking for help. Wow. Oh, and the kicker is that I was right. The tech issue was indeed the eSIM card, which needed reprovisioning. This man had just never heard of the issue, and so I guess he decided to be ultra rude to me to cover his own inadequacies. Someone with his people skills should should not be in customer service field at all. I would seriously go anywhere else other than this store. I am planning to switch cell companies when my current phone is paid for--that's how disrespected I felt after this "conversation." It was my bad for not realizing they don't do tech support, but he could have just told me that. Something like, "oh, I see. I think this issue goes beyond what we typically do in the store. I suggest you call our tech line, at this number..." I had thought it would just be easier and nicer to go into our "local" store than talking to a robot online. I guess robots are just nicer these days...
