This is only the second negative post I have made on yelp and it usually takes quite a bit to get me this upset, but beware of Suddenlink. I had Northland cable for 10 years and while their picture quality wasn't that great and their internet speed wasn't that fast, it was at least reliable. After switching to Suddenlink this summer due to the buy out, I've lost count of the number of times I've called to complain. I was paying for 12 Mbps internet service and getting less than 1 Mbps downloads for over 3 months while my next door neighbor with Suddenlink had a consistent 11mbps and they kept telling me that my neighbors were slowing my speed down. Wouldn't it follow that my internet usage would slow down their Internet? But even when I told them this and that mine was always 1 Mbps and there's was always 11 Mbps they still blamed the neighborhood pooling of bandwidth. Then two or three weeks ago it magically fixed itself. Guess all of my neighbors fired Suddenlink and I got the bulk of the bandwidth back...not. I was never compensated and I must have called 7+ times. I was then mailed multiple letters stating that I needed a digital converter box and when I called and questioned that because all my TVs are HD (digital) they said on the phone I didn't need it...then out of the blue my cable signal went out...I called again and learned that I did need one on every tv...and it comes with new remotes...great now I have one remote to change the channel and one to change the volume. My TiVo died last week so I set up an appointment and then 10 minutes after scheduling I rescheduled for a week earlier for them to install a new TiVo and they never showed up today after I drove out here from Dallas to meet them. Someone rescheduled my reschedule the rep told me while their automated service indicated they were coming out today. While the TV picture is better, the Internet speed (when it works) is better, it is hard to put into words how horrible the customer service, transfer of service and reliability of this company has been. I tried DirecTV and Dish but I have too many trees. This has been a nightmare and every time I call them I get a different story with promises of better days to come when we all get fiber which was first promised to be completed by 2014 and now I'm hearing that it's coming...soon. Which now reminds me...They told me I'd be automatically upgraded to the highest Internet speed when fiber arrives and now I'm being told it'll be an additional charge. I'd rather be talking to someone in India because at least they all read from the same scripts. Before considering Suddenlink please do yourself a favor and find out if you're lucky enough to go satellite. Or give them two more years to get their act together. A very dissatisfied and never compensated current customer. read more
