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.

I have not experience a worse vendor since Packard Bell in the early 1990s. Broadview claims we…read morehave a contract but I never signed a contract and the document they forwarded me was from 2011 and long expired. They continue to send invoices for phone service even though we went with another vendor. Tech support is simply incompetent and years ago we had to split our data network away from their phone system and magically all our problems went away (for the data network). Phone problems continued. Broadview provided phone software that did not work that we requested to be removed (they never did) and they keep billing for it. We requested a smaller pipe for phone service as our executive team consolidated and they agreed to do it (but never did) and they keep invoicing for it. I have only rarely seen a company with such poor ethics, the inability to understand their service has been cancelled, their failure (months later) to send a shipping number so their phones can be returned to them, and their triple refusal to port numbers because WindStream was listed on the CSR after Broadview re-branded (and was purchased by) WindStream. Incompetence, a failure to provide service, continued invoicing for services no longer in use (everything was disconnected and we have a new address without their equipment), and rude phone calls are what this company is about. Hopefully this review will save someone else some headaches and misery.

Horrible service, totally Scame!!!! They make you sign in and send you triple bill and want you to…read morepay, service goes off for long time no one answers. They hire collecting agency and want you to pay ridiculous amount money that you don't owe. Stay away from this company !!!

The service was in my name and I was so excited about having phone service I encouraged all of my siblings and friends to also get their phones through that company before Verizon. Through the years with all the changes from GTE, Contel and Verizon my husband and I had good experiences then after my husband died I added our son to the account. Well long story short my son bought a new phone a couple years ago and added it to the account and during that time someone (a Verizon employee) changed the name on the account to his name. I noticed the changed and called to change it back and was told it wasn't my account. I wrote letters, contacted Verizon Corporate and the Better Business Bureau. Verizon said all paperwork and information was my sons and they were done with it and no more discussions. They list me as a customer from 1995 but my service began before that. I'm very disappointed with Verizon and I would never recommend them to anyone again. They don't want to take responsibility for their employee that made a decision which wasn't theirs to make.

I received a new bill today for $233 including equipment that I don't have . Was given coupons for past couple of years, supposedly locked in for 2 more years. I cannot afford this and cannot get any assistance, would like for a corp rep to reach out and help if possible If I do not get any assistance, I will have to change companies Terri Letwinsky 1018 summer hill dr Odenton Md 21113 410-245-2938 terrigray1957@verizon.net Thank you Please help

Starry's network briefly went down on May 4; since then, speeds have been extremely slow, varying…read morewith weather, peak times, etc. They have not resolved the issue after TEN DAYS. And by "extremely slow", I mean speeds ranging from 12x slower than normal at best, to wait-two-minutes-for-web-page-to-load performance at worst. The speed is not the only issue. Using Starry for video streaming now results in interrupted streams, or streams downgrading to potato resolution. Not useful if you've cut the cord. They apparently had a fire in different building, and that was enough to seriously degrade the network. That's just totally unacceptable. I went with Starry because 1) I seriously hate Verizon 2) I seriously hate optimum and spectrum even more, and 3) Starry had much better prices. And I loved my Starry service. I got my friend to switch to them. It was fast, it was great, it was low-latency, it was consistent. Swoon. I would have never considered switching until a week of this poor performance and service. So, I shopped around, and guess what? Verizon offers the same performance grade for about $5/month more, showed up in one day to install, and guarantees the price for three years. I've switched as of a few minutes ago. I even gave Starry a chance to keep my business, because I'm a fan of the little guy. I asked that they bump my performance grade up one speed grade, for the price that I'm currently paying (and lock it in). Then I'd stay. Something that doesn't cost them real dollars, has value to me, and is fair compensation for the problems they've caused, and the lack of reliability that I'd have to factor in, too. They said no. OK, it took one day to switch to Fios. Bye Bye. My friend? She's switching, too. I'm super disappointed that Starry couldn't provide what they claimed, and even more, I hate that they pushed me back to Verizon.
