    The cold, desolate night.
    Warhol C.

    A trash bag by any other name would still reek. It's the usual, "one star wish I could give it no stars," disgruntled review: 1. Unreliable internet, often drops video calls, interrupts streams, loads slowly 2. Automated messages when you call to get any support 3. Vertical monopoly - basically are forced to endure due to few choices in the area These things I could overlook, most internet companies fit the trope of having crappy service, but today was the straw that broke the camels back...waking up with no internet, trying to work from home, using up all your phone's data, and calling the company for support only to hear a repetitive loop of automated messages saying they're "sorry for the delay," it'll be another two hours. The time ticks by, you turn your head to peer out your window into the cold, desolate night. The black curtain has descended over the day's sun. The realization that the whole day has gone by and there will be no internet sinks in. You dial the Wave Broadband's phone number, greeted by a familiar automated voice. You have entered the Twilight Zone.

    Many calls to Wave G but no result

    I have used Wave for 4 years. Initially it was a very pleasant experience; call center was responsive, technical support was very knowledgeable and very helpful. Now fast forward 4 years and two acquisitions later, the service is unbearable. The internet is fine until they are not. And if there is an outage, good luck trying to get in touch with anyone. During an outage that happened last week, I cannot get in touch with anyone, after the incident, we tried to get them to come to check our equipment, and guess what they never show up! (We have scheduled it again tomorrow so we'll see how it goes). Today I am trying to get in touch with a department that can handle our account. I've learned that it is called a "residential bulk" account after talking to 6 agents and 4 hours wait. I still don't know how to get in touch with them after talking to many agents. The business agents seem to know more but they said they don't have any visibility into the residential side. They also suggested that I ask for a supervisor. I haven't tried that though. They also seem to have a social media presence on Twitter and Facebook, but I think it's a hit or miss. You should try them too if you cannot get through via a call. In Seattle, we don't have many choices for gigabit speed internet. All ISPs in the area seems to have a very bad reputation now. If you have other choice, I'd recommend exploring them too.

    Wave overcharging me for years
    John D.

    1/22/2019 The truth about wave is their staff violated my privacy by posting my private info online, then when I complained they retaliated against me and had their lawyer send me a letter stating they are terminating my service. They say I harassed them which i did not, I only communicated by a few emails as allowed per the first amendment. On top of this, for years they have been charging me $90+ a month for 110 Mbps service, even though they have been offering it everyone else for much less. A class action is coming against Wave people as I and others are not going to tolerate their discrimination and price manipulation. See the info below for WA and see how much more they are charging you over others.

    WaveBroadBand speed attached to modem via Ethernet cable. No other devices accessing it

    Wave has been successful at something that I thought could never be achieved. I actually miss my Comcast service. Yep, you read here. First; my wife set up our television and Internet connections by calling Wave. She was quoted a specific monthly price for the bundle. When our first bill came it was $40 over the quoted price. When she called "customer service" they told her that they were including the local television fees, which she was never told of and are not listed as part of the price on their website. The person refused to remove the charge until my wife demanded to talk to his supervisor. The person only then relented and told my wife that a supervisor would call back within 2 hours. That was 3 days ago, still waiting..... Secondly the Internet speed is an absolute joke, well below claimed rates. We may end up switching to Century Link or a local service in Gervais Oregon soon. If you have a decent option, do not sign up for Wave.

    This place is the biggest joke. Their CSR people know nothing, and the whole company as a whole is just sketchy. Avoid at all costs.

    When do they answer their phone? Been trying to get through for 2 weeks.

    NEVER! They claim (always) a potential 20 minute wait. I have waited over three hours (I put it on speaker and go about my business just to see how long) then it cuts off. Absolute WORST customer service on the planet.

    Have wave and seem to have frequent slow internet connections just wondering if any one else in area experiencing the same issue. I am in between mount Vernon and laconner?

It's clean and bright, spacious, plenty of parking. The big ding isn't on them, it's on the corporation that sets their pricing and so on. In long Yeah, I know better than to believe their commercials that say the phones you buy here are "on them," but it's still annoying. And, to that point, I'm dragging my feet on actually buying a phone here, even though a modest one would nudge my bill up just a few bucks a month. What I have been in for a few times over the years is exchanging cable gear and I think one phone repair. Often enough to know they're an acceptable option as far as I can tell. There was one time when I had questions about lowering our cable bill and the kid thought our appointment was done, so he kinda hustled me out. This is to their credit--you get those little auto-text surveys, and I let 'em know the kid kinda dropped the ball, though he was pleasant. A different manager called before the morning was over, apologized, said that was out of character for this kid, promised to coach him with our feedback, and got our bill down by like 10-15% (IIRC). This isn't the kinda thing that's really exciting, by any means. But ya gotta have a phone. And if ya like live sports broadcasts as much as I do, yer kinda stuck with a cable subscription. They try to do us a solid here and there, I guess. They've certainly gotten enough payments from me over the years.

Boost Mobile was not allowing any kind of new device for monthly payments (at least not for phones under $400 ). My phone was chugging, calling me, shutting off and restarting without prompt. The camera only took pictures on every seventh click. She reviewed devices with me honestly. She priced it out and printed out the total cost. I went with AT&T because they give discounts to teachers. I work til 6pm during the week and wasn't sure when I could come in again. I did come in the next day at 6:45, just because I trusted Sabrina. She stayed late to help me with my device and new plan. She was nice to my kids and gave them paper to draw on. She even helped with spelling words. She knew I couldn't make it in the next night because of my daughter's piano practice. She gave me her phone number in case I encountered any trouble. When I had trouble with the new phone set up, after hours, she connected with me and made sure I was set-up. This is a great deal, a great phone and above and beyond service. Promote her.

    Plan & Upgrade Fiasco; Avoid Phillip…read more 08-10-2026: The evening manager Tom is helpful. I am not sure what we worked on will actually happen now. Get everything in writing. You need to be really prepared before coming here, because this evolved into a horrible experience. 7/06/2026: Went to a Ballard location run but a bunch of kids. They gave me assurances, but everything was obviously too good to be true. I go somewhere closer to home to finalize i.e., trading in the older phone. 07-25-2026: I was initially helped by Chris M (the NewJersey/New York accent guy) who took a lot of time and care to assist my boomer mother and me. He helped us apply benefits and lower our premium. When I came back to turn in the phone because of the automatic "stolen iphone" delay he was off early or off. I got "help" from his colleague (this is my first big mistake) and when I came back to fix this issue, sadly, Chris M abandoned me while I was stuck with Phillip (who you need to avoid at all costs). I don't blame Chris M but it would've been resolving of him to butt in and save me from the worst customer service rep in the branch. Phillip is the bald, black tattoo'd ying/yang koi fish, younger gentleman who wears glasses and presents like he knows what he's doing. do not assume he does like I did. Phillip talks very fast and moves fast and this is likely why he is making mistakes that will effect you. During this last office visit, I returned to the store to finalize a complicated trade-in. It was in fact Phillip who told me the wrong timeline for a trade-in. When I returned and confronted him about that fact Phillip was very defensive and wouldn't make eye contact. He said "well I said that based on the information you gave me," which one would hope, in the process that an AT&T employee uses, they hopefully don't assume and verify? Of course not. I am not the employee, I am not an At&T contract expert. If I had the level of apathy towards people like Phillip does, people would die at my job. At AT&T they just lose money and healthy blood pressure. Phillip blew me off and told me to call 611. Well, today I called them and guess what? I am SOL. So Phillip as I expected, just wanted to get rid of me and not take ownership for his mistake. There really feels like there is no accountability for this lapse in information. I was glad that Tom, the current manager I spoke to, was patient enough to listen when I drove back to the store, but I can't stress enough how poor the availability of Chris M was and especially the lack of detail from Phillip caused a good experience to escalate into me driving to this branch multiple times after my shift to argue with these guys. No accountability and assistance over such a small issue- a phone trade in that is already wiped. Now I am writing disgruntled reviews and just hoping I get somewhere, but I will avoid this branch until the Mariners win a world series. Shout out to Nat, the young new hire. He witnessed all of this go down and was very compassionate. Additionally, the other "Chris" was also a very pleasant older gentleman. It's so clownish how this deteriorated and a really unfortunate outcome. Give Chris M a chance but don't count on him being at the branch. Just go somewhere else or get T-Mobile.

The internet service is fast when it's up but unreliable - it goes down for a few minutes at least once to twice a day... to be fair, Comcast (our only other option) is also horrible. It's cheap, so you get what you pay for. Their customer service is uniformly shitty - worst customer experience 100% of the time. At least with Comcast it's hit and miss, and you get someone competent about 50% of the time. Ohhh, and Ziply utterly is impossible to get away from... they will do everything to keep you on their service by transferring you to one person and another person until you give up... the last time I try to leave, I ended up being on the phone for an hour going from associate to manager to a senior manager to "approve" my disconnect. I've started to just tell them I'm moving outside their service area when I need to disconnect. If they only bother spend this amount of effort on their customer service -- it wouldn't be so utterly horrendous. They get an extra star for the fiber extension and fast install.
