They deserve a minus 10 rating --- one of the worst businesses ever! We've been customers (cable TV only) for about 25 years and the only reason we haven't switched to another provider serving our area is we've heard horror stories about them, too. They're constantly jacking up their rates --- with the rationale that it's necessary in order to continue to provide us with the best quality service. Continue? They've never started! For every customer service rep and technician with whom I speak, I get a different answer. Completely incompetent and unknowledgeable, all of them. I don't know where to begin to tell about all the issues we have with our service --- repeatedly, not once in a blue moon, not a week goes by without issues. Despite the fact that we do have the correct cable box, we'll be in the middle of watching TV when the program cuts out, replaced by a message on the TV screen that our cable box isn't authorized for use. This lasts for a few minutes, after which time we need to reboot. Meanwhile, we lost whatever we were watching and ditto for anything that was being recorded at the time. Every day - no exaggeration! - there are periods when we aren't able to get into On Demand every time we try. Sometimes the issue corrects itself after a while but, when it doesn't, we need to reboot. I swear, we must reboot at least five times per week. They often delete scheduled recordings (DVR) and, if I don't catch it in time, we miss out on those shows --- which is especially extremely irritating when we have to pay $2.99 per episode to watch on On Demand shows we could have watched for free had they not deleted the scheduled recordings of them. When I tried to call customer service yesterday to demand a credit for the Blue Bloods episodes we had to pay to watch for this reason, I wasn't able to get connected to a rep. Every time I said customer service into the phone, the automated voice told me to use the customer service app on our cell phone --- we don't even have the kind of cell phone that can be loaded with apps. Then, when I tried to web chat with a rep, it was obvious from the responses I was receiving that I was communicating with a robot. Premium channels that used to be included in our package have been dropped; if we want them, we have to pay extra; no replacement channels were substituted for them; yet our bill keeps climbing and climbing all the time. Our cable box doesn't have the capability of recording more than two shows simultaneously and, if two shows are being recorded simultaneously, we can't watch TV other than one of the two channels being recorded. I wish they'd be as concerned about improving this issue as they are about jacking up their rates. I can't say enough bad about this business. They stink with a capital S. read more
