Centurylink, which denies I have an account but provides wireless service to our house, continued to collect the $40 fee without sending a paper bill or a wireless statement other than for $40 monthly.

After the email failed to arrive,I called on 3 occasions to ask the status, left messages, but never heard back.

Lost no money, but wasted time and it was a pretty big inconvenience. I hope you have better luck!

READ THIS FIRST IF YOU'RE HAVING ISSUES WITH FIBERSPHERE:…read more From an insider, here's how it works at Goobersphere. If you've attempted all of the suggestions that they give you on the phone: 1. Don't expect them to call you back within 24-48 hours if they say they will. They have zero intention to. They never ever will. 2. If they say they will "escalate" it to someone at a higher position with more knowledge this is also a complete lie. They are trained to say that, but it means absolutely nothing. They all work in the same place with the same rank and knowledge. 3. If they tell you to call back within a few hours they are just pawning you off to the next person on the next shift. Again there is no other higher qualified folk there that can help. So what do you do after all of that nonsense? If you try all of the suggestions they have and they don't work, request for a technician. What he did only cost 25 bucks (cash, lol). If they refuse like they did with us a few times, then wait about 8 hours until the next shift and request it from the next employee. I hope this saves someone the countless hours we wasted the last month. Now this (below) was my review before learning the info above (although it was pretty obvious to begin with): This is my first time using Fibersphere. We're at almost three weeks and counting and still no internet. They have a handful of questions they ask us to try each time and then say "we will have someone call you within 24-48 hours" and they never do. We are in a endless cycle of spending about 45 minutes every day to fix this. We rely on internet daily for our jobs so this has been pretty not so convenient. No one ever of course uses Comcast or Centrilink nor Fibersphere because they actually want to. They use it because the options are limited. CEO's of internet provider companies should be in jail. How about instead of buying extra yachts you pay your employees better and train them so that they can actually fix things? No excuse for something like this to take three weeks...

Fibersphere is the internet service that my HOA provides, so I did not have a choice in selecting…read morethem as my ISP. I just had my internet repaired after 6.5 days of it not working. I called the first day and was informed it would be fixed within 24 hours. Called the second day, and I was put on hold for over an hour and then lost connection. Called back, and I was informed it would take up to 72 hours. Called after 72 hours, and I was informed I would receive a call from a technician that same day. No one called. I called again on Monday (day 5) and then I was informed they would dispatch a technician on day 6. I had to leave work early to make sure I could make the appointment. No one showed up, no one contacted me, I check the internet and it's fixed. Besides that horribly frustrating experience, the internet actually works fine for the most part, except when I lose lots of data packets occasionally. The customer support reps were very friendly. The problem is that it's impossible to get in touch with a technician with the authority/capabilities to repair the issue.

Horrible service. Impossible to reach a human when anything goes wrong, instead you get stuck in…read morephone tree / AI hell. Service appointments require someone to be home for a nine hour window, and then they frequently cancel/reschedule the service after failing to complete it that day. They did not respond in the required 48 hour window to a locate request before trenching was done, and as a result their line got cut, then they failed to show up for the appointment to repair it. Last time I needed service from them the same no-show followed by service rescheduling happened several times in a row before anyone showed up. Give your money to literally anyone else.

The first time we asked them to activate a new phone and they did not, the second time we asked them not to activate and they did. When we turned in our phones and paid them off, Verizon said they had no record of our payments. The store also gave us a significantly lower trade in value than Verizon offered, and when we called Verizon it took twice as long to correct because we hadn't dealt with a corporate store. I love to support local but we got really burned by this location several times and I would never use them again.
