Internet Service consistentently does not work. Made a trouble ticket in end of June for service not working. They said they sent technician out July 16to fix issue. They sent a text saying they "may" have fixed issue. They never spell my name correctly. Every bill has my last name wrong. Last call they assured me they would get my name right. I still do not have service. I suspect the reason service was down was because surge came in through frontier internet for blown frontier satalite transformer and penetrated our house because tech did not wire correctly. Several electronics were damaged that were connected to frontier service. Still do not have service for over 1 month. Requested they give me credit for month that it is not working. They said only can give me a credit for $11.00 because they "may" have fixed it on July 16. However service never worked and was never fixed. They can validate that by investigation but wont.They said on July 26th they decided to disconnect Service. When I call I am sent to 5 different people and explain same things every time. 4 out of 5 say that it's a quick fix and they will correct it and apologize and the last one says she can't do anything and was extremely rude. Regardless I have been on phone with various representatives for over a total of 6 hours and I get absolutely no where. They say they will send someone out but I have to pay 40 dollars even though the 40 dollars is for service I never received and that they can't do anything even though they know it does not make sense. Presently I still do not have service and they are saying I have a delinquent account by $40 when they owe me $51. Whenever I call they bounce me around to different departments. I am contacting bb burou because I need their help. I have tried calling them several times and no matter how hard I try they don't seem to know how to fix the issue because they get all confused with their own internal process and lack of authority to correct a faulty issue. I would like them to bill me appropriately and fix the issue or come and get their equipment and terminate service and bill me for servicenI actually received. They just don't seem to have it together or knowand I honestly don't know what else to do because they are so impossible
Thank you for referring the complaint of Mr. to our office for review. We appreciate this matter being brought to our attention.
Frontier has investigated the above statements and offers the following response:
Frontier advises this account has had a recurring past due balance since the May bill. The May 8, 2019 contained a past due balance of $42.84 from the previous bill. The past due balance combined with the current charges of $51.84 brought the total amount due to $94.68.
The June 8, 2019 bill contained a past due balance of $94.68 from the previous bill. The past due balance combined with the current charges of $51.84 brought the total amount due to $146.52.
Payment of $96.00 was received on June 25, 2019. This was the last payment received for this account. The July 8, 2019 bill contained a past due balance of $146.52 from the previous bill. Once the above payment posted the remaining past due balance was $51.84. The past due balance combined with the current charges of $51.84 brought the total amount due $102.36.
On July 6, 2019 a trouble ticket was initiated due to internet issues. On July 16, 2019 a technician was dispatched and replaced the Optical Network Terminal.
Please note that the monthly recurring charges for the Fios internet service was $30.00.
Credit in the amount of $11.00 was issued for time out of service. This credit posted to the August billing statement.
Our records indicate that effective July 26, 2019 the account was disconnected for non-payment.
On August 14, 2019 I left a message for Mr. and provided my contact number.

I contact the provider again on the 16th of this month after receiving a voice message from company to contact Stacy in the corporate office regarding the complaint. She asked me various questions I advised her that her that her Revdex.com response has misinformation. Pointing out the fact that the technician did not replace the modem or fix anything on the inside of the house when they supposedly worked on the house on the 16th. I further pointed out they never have billed me correctly since may and explained how many times I had called in to get the billing correct and open or reopen the trouble ticket. Further pointing out that they did not install part of it correctly so that is why it seems to never work. Despite the fact that I have called in several times and spent several hours waiting to speak with someone and when connected get bounced to various people and finally get hung up or by chance when connected with someone am told they will correct it and send an accurate bill which I never receive. Stacy said the only thing she can do is maintain her response to the better business buro despite the fact that it is not correct nor takes ownership for the fact that they have been and are billing for a service that has not worked at all since June and again, I still do not have service, I have not had service and they never fixed the service on July 16th. ..They have not replaced the modem or made anything work. I should not be required to pay for a service that I have not received. Furthermore a corporation should be penalized and investigated for not providing accurate billing and continuing to bill for service when they are not providing it. To hear them say I did not notify them of the various times the service was not working and then hear them say I never called them after the 16th to advise them the technician never fixed it, when I had called several times and was bounced around and hung up on which is why I had to contact the Revdex.com only adds insult to injury. I do not want to do business with that company any more. I would like an accurate bill that reflects the service that I received which was only up until June. Again, they need to send me a bill with the correct billing amounts and god forbid one where they actually spell my name spell my name correctly. The bottom line is that they just do not seem to know what they are doing and their corporate office obviously has a huge disconnect from its workers and employees. It still boggles me that as a customer who has exercised so much patience and spent so much time to contact and speak with various departments and individuals and hear they do not have record of that is most concerning and disenfranchising to say the least. I appreciate your assistance with this matter and can only imagine how many complaint you receive similar to this as it seems clear to me I cannot be the only one given just how ridiculous my experience has been with this company. Regardless, nothing can be resolved until the company is held accountable for its actions or inaction, not getting its facts straight and its continued inaccurate billing. Please let me know what or if I may further assist you and again I greatly appreciate your assistance.

my dsl internet service has been down since 7/21/2019. I have attempted to resolve this issue several times by trying to contact frontier customer service. I am always forwarded to an offshore "at home call center". I have been lied to repeatedly by frontier as to why my dsl is down. They said the problem is on MY end and not theirs and the soonest they could have someone come out to fix the "problem" is 8/13/2019. I paid a licensed technician to test all my phone lines from the telephone pole annd all through my house. He said my lines are fine and that there is no dsl signal at the telephone pole. Frontier had the audacity to tell my mom that some at frontier had inadvertently put our internet service on "vacation mode"?? I have never heard such nonsense in my life. I am tired being lied to and I want know why my dsl service has been disrupted. I always pay my bill on time. My uncle is an ex army green beret and served in vietnam and needs the internet to correspond with th VA for his health issues and I have an internet business which needless to say is not doing well because of this issue. please help us.

Sir or Madam...This is my second complaint regarding this company. You (Revdex.com) finally made them close out my account, but what they did was keep an open bill, which I had paid up all my bill (never late). Now, Frontier Communications sends me an email saying I owe them $86.67. This is ridiculous. I now do not have access to my Frontier Communications account online and I DO NOT want to call them and wait in a phone cue for hours, and you here them laughing in the background during the call. You, the Revdex.com ...IT is your responsibility to take care of unethical corporations like this. Please help. I am a combat veteran with PTSD and this is jangling my nerves :) I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you

On 7/12/019 I closed my Frontier Account. I was informed by customer service that boxes will be mailed to me withing 5 business days to return the equipment. I was informed that if I don't return the equipment, then I will be charged $300 for fees. I contacted Frontier on 7/19 because I didn't receive boxes to return equipment and was told to wait 5 more days. I called back 7/26 and was told wait another 5 more days (at this time I asked for a supervisor being that more than 10 business days have passed and not boxes have been sent in which I was told supervisors aren't available and call was disconnected). I called back on 7/29 and was promised boxes by 7/31 and nothing was sent. I have tried three times to order boxes online and the account won't allow me to do so, making me call customer service. I still have the equipment, Frontier won't send me the boxes to return them in, and threaten me with a $300 charge if I don't do so. How can I return boxes if they are not sending them to me?

Frontier Communications locked us in to a two year contract with false advertising.
On 1/6/19 I responded to an email offer from Frontier Communications for a $200.00 *** reward card for signing up online for new internet service from Frontier Communications. On 1/7/19, I received a 2nd email from Frontier Communications with instructions on how to claim the $200.00 reward card. The email stated I needed to send copies of my first 2 paid bills, along with a filled out print out of the email with my name, address to: Internet.Frontier Redemption's 1101 *** Drive Fort Mill, SC 29707 and the redemption code: 11176008. After the 2nd bill was received 3/19/19, I mailed the printout and receipts to ***. I received a *** reward card, and when I called to activate it, I learned that the value on the card was $100.00, and not the $200.00 as offered. I spoke to a representative at the card issuer who told me I would have to contact Frontier. I called Frontier, and Frontier told me the offer was from ***. After my insistence that my contract is with Frontier not ***, the Frontier representative placed a 3 way call to *** and I was told after much debate that they would mail an additional $100 gift card, which WAS NEVER RECEIVED. I am owed $100.00 more on the reward card, as advertised in both the initial email offer, and the instructions to claim the reward.

I canceled my service with them and was told by representative Dawn that I would only have to pay a $9.99 cancellation fee in August. I had to call back to receive a confirmation number and was again told that is all I had to pay. 3 days later I recieved an email stating a bill for a full month of service. We discontinued service the 22nd so I called again and was told they bill a month in advance. I asked if they could prorate the bill and was told they did not do that anymore starting that month.

after 10 years, my partner and I got tired of being overcharged for service. We decided to change carriers. On March 25th 2019 I called to find out the end day of our billing service contract. It was the 13th of each month. So I made arrangements for a install date on April 9th from spectrum. I then called frontier back on March 27th 2019 and told them of my new install date and that I wanted the account closed at the end of billing cycle. they just double talked me and wanted to reduce services. I said I was done sad I wanted it cancelled. The person reluctantly agreed. I was told I would receive shipping packages to return equipment and I said bye.
On April 9th, 2019 I had *** installed and frontier was removed from the house and property. No activity at all was transmitted after April 9th. After about 10 days later, April 23rd, I called to find out when the boxes would arrive. Tgey then told me my service wasn't cancelled. They cancelled it then, even though I was disconnected from all frontier equipment on April 9th, they charged us a full $192.56 for April 14th thru May 13th, 2019 even though there was no connection to the house by their system. They are out to ruin our credit and refuse to arbitrate like in their agreement.
Thank you for referring the complaint of *** to our office for review. We appreciate we bringing this matter to our attention.
According to the complaint, Mr. states he cancelled service before the April bill and he disputes the balance of $192.56.
Frontier reviewed the account and spoke to Mr. on August 19, 2019. He was advised, credit has been applied to the account in the amount $192.56. This credit clears the balance on the account and should be updated on the September 2019 bill.
Frontier apologizes for any inconvenience the above matter has caused trust this information will assist you in closing this complaint.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
Everything is pending until I receive a final statement showing a zero balance. But I am happy that someone finally took a deep look into my account. It is soo frustrating to no have a situation resolved for over 6 months yet being blamed each and every time I called treating me as the culprit. Cable companies need to be responsible and quit screwing over their customers, who keep them alive.
Thank you, again, Revdex.com, for your assistance!1

After numerous attempts to have our internet,tv,and phone service repaired to operate at a normal function, we cancelled Frontier Communications service on June 25, 2019. We are and have always been in good standing and have paid our complete bill on time. We attempted to have the services fixed and after four attempts and the problems getting more severe, we felt it was time to switch to *** Communications. My wife cancelled the services on the aforementioned date and she spoke with a Frontier rep who advised her that she would be able to cancel the cable tv but should could not cancel the internet and phone until the new provider was able to port over the phone for those services. We received a confirmation number (***) and we were told that we would be charged $83.99 since we cancelled after June 23, which is the billing cycle. We agreed to pay the $83.99. *** Communications converted over our services and advised that Frontier will need t release the phone number (which we have had for 24 years), and this should take a day or two. We called *** Communications on June 26 and they advised they were porting and should be done by June 28'th.
On July 1st my wife called *** Communications advising that the phone was still not ported. On July 5'th my wife called again and was advised that frontier is not releasing the phone number. My wife then called Frontier and no one answered the call. On July 6'th she called again and spoke to a rep at Frontier and questioned why the phone was not released and ported over. The rep told my wife that the previous Frontier Rep did nor cancel the cable but cancelled the phone. The Frontier rep then reinstated the phone and she advised that nothing was cancelled. The rep advised she would cancel the cable and have the phone active again so the number could be ported over. The rep then advised my wife that we would owe $217.81 as Frontier would not pro rate the bill. My wife explained that we have a confirmation number cancelling their product and were to pay $83.99 which we agreed upon, and she advised that Frontier doesn't pro rate and we were responsible for the entire Bill.
On July 10'th my wife called to speak to a supervisor and was advised to email a copy of our *** Communication bill to show that we had switched over and were now paying two providers. The rep stated she would send it to the accounting department and have the accounting department review the bill and complaint. The rep stated that she could only credit $100. I at this time emailed the office of the President of Frontier Communications complaint department and requested a contact with someone who could resolve this issue. I went this route because my wife had called twice before requesting a supervisor, but was told they are all in meetings, and they would call us back. We received a call.
We went on vacation and upon return my wife called Frontier (July 23) and that no adjustments would be granted and the entire bill was due. She asked for a supervisor but she was advised they are all in meetings. The rep stated that Adrian a supervisor would call her back but we did not speak to Adrian anytime in the future. My wife then called the Office of the President of Frontier and spoke to Joe who stated that they have a car opened (probably from the email complaint) and that he would be handling the matter. After everything was explained to Joe, Joe stated that Frontier's policy is that they do not pro rate and that this was a miscommunication. I was now on the phone with Joe and my wife and I explained to Joe that there is no miscommunication regarding this. That Frontier advised that the Bill would be $83.99 which was quoted by his employee. Joe made reference that he could not make an exception for us otherwise he would be violating policy and everyone would be entitled to this. I explained to Joe that its an internal policy not a Law, and that his employee quoted the number which my wife agreed to which is by law a civil agreement and that we are willing to pay that amount. We also explained that we have a confirmation number that Frontier provided and that its Frontier who is breaking the agreement not us. I also explained that we do not want this to be sent to a collection and mark our perfect credit. I asked Joe to review the recorded conversation his employee had with my wife and the agreement to the $83.99. Joe advised that he needs to review our billing cycle and asked for a day to investigate the call and quote. This was July 23. On July 25, my wife left a message for Joe as we did not speak to him as he stated. On July 26 Joe called and spoke to my wife and stated that there would be no pro ration and he would see what he could do, and get her the highest amount possible. Joe spoke to her a few minutes later and advised that he would credit us $97.37 and our bill would be $120.44 and that is the best he could do for us and there was a possibility that someone else could enter the file from accounting and adjust the amount and take away his offer. My wife advised that this was not sufficient and we would continue to argue this.
This is where we stand currently. We will pay the bill with prejudice so our credit is not touched and even though Joe stated that would not happen until 60-90 days, we cannot trust Frontier to keep their word relating to our billing.
I do not wish my former account number to be made public, so contact with me is available for further investigation..

When starting service with the company, if you do not start on the date of the start of their billing cycle, they prorate their bill. I needed 5 additional days to a bill (I no longer live at the service address) but have to pay the entire month. They refuse to prorate the ending bill.

As mentioned in my initial complaint, when starting service, if my start date does not coincide with Frontier's start date with their billing cycle, they will prorate my partial month, as does any other company, my landlord, my electric company, or any other reasonable entity. The same goes with the end of a billing period. With all of my other utilities, I notify my electric company when I would like my services to be taken out of my name and they will prorate my bill accordingly. However, in this instance, Frontier does this only in their favor. I do not accept this at all. The phone call that the representative made to me only stated that this is their policy (which I was not made aware of) that is likely buried on the back page in some fine print or hidden in the bottom in tiny font on a webpage. This is not clear or defined when I signed up for service when I signed up with the agent at the kiosk. If they could provide me with a copy of my initial paperwork where it shows this, I would appreciate it.

Frontier’s position remains the same as there has been no additional information provided that warrants a deviation from the original resolution.
My experience with Frontier Communications has been the worst since they transition from ***. Its starts with the issue about the internet speed. Every time I call customer service or their troubleshooting department they always seem to have an excuse. Once I hang up that call my speed seems to be at a fast pace but as the days pass by it slows down. If I’m paying for certain levels of internet speed and I receive lower levels and still get charged for the higher level without receiving any type of credit for the days without the proper speed. When calling customer service for problems, their technicians will give you the runaround or transfer you from one tech to the next and even hang up the phone without receiving a call back to finish the problem ticket. I’ve had multiple technicians come over to my house to work on my internet issues without resolving them. Their technicians and customer service reps will always contradict each other and at some times will say that either one knows what there are doing or talking about. Frontier will give you offers on extenders for you internet but at the end they don’t work, to the point that so far I have not received any good reviews from their own technicians. To finish up, I would like to get the service I’m paying for and a better customer service experience.
Thank you for referring the complaint of Mr. to our office for review. We appreciate Mr. bringing this matter to our attention.

This is the worst run company that I have ever experienced. From the simple things like when I had to move my service within my own city, the customer service rep didn't know how to help me with the simple switch. When I moved a second time, I called and waited over 45 minutes to get somoene and finally gave up. I got fed up and then called *** though when I finally canceled my service, they first refused to port my number to ***, then I had to call Frontier to get them to port my number (another half hour wasted). They then "unfroze" my number, though they said they would only do it a week out from the date *** and I wanted to port it. Why? It was exactly the FIRST day of my next billing cycle with Frontier so they charged my 68$ and won't prorate this. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THEIR SERVICE, you will be disappointed over and over again. I had other issues too though wanted to keep it short.
One star is too many for this company.
as soon as I canceled my TV service they disconnected my Internet service the day the bill was due. I have been a client of this company for several years and at no time was this their policy additionally I was not given any notice that this was going to happen. and lastly, I had a payment arrangement in place that they did not honor

I have received now two bills from Frontier Communications which is not my service provider. I do not have any Frontier Communications services.
Frontier was scheduled to install services in June 19, 2019. The installing technician informed me that they could not provide the dependable service I was promised at my location. I declined the installation at the Technicians advice. In June I received an invoice for installation and one months service. I telephoned Frontier Customer service on 06/27/19 and was told that the ticket was still open and which would be closed and a dispute would be filed to reversed/remove the charges. Yesterday I received another bill with charges for 07/2019 through 08/18/2019. Today I telephoned and asked to speak with a supervisor and was left on hold. I attempted to contact Frontier by chat but they are offline.

I bought a router from Frontier that is still in use, yet they are charging me a Router fee. Furthermore, it is so old and out dated I purchase a Netgear system that I am using instead. They still insist on charging me $10 a month. So it doesn't matter that I bought one from them and could use it even though it has no parental controls that I need, I bought and currently use a netgear. It is a scam they are doing. Only to have advertise prices lower.
“Effective April 29, 2019, the Frontier Wi-Fi Router became the approved equipment to be used with our internet service and specifically designed to work with Frontier’s Network. Frontier’s advertising and residential internet terms and conditions make clear out service includes equipment charges, such as the router charge, and neither our advertisement nor our terms and conditions provide any exceptions. Frontier technicians who install internet service are required to install a new Frontier router at time of installation regardless of customer having an old Frontier Router, or a Third-Party Router”.
Please be advised based on the purchase you mentioned, we have placed an order (***) requesting the removal of the Wi-Fi router fee. However, there is no guarantee the fee will be removed; as an audit could potentially restore this fee, due to the company’s new policy.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Their response is total nonsense. I purchased the router from them to avoid the monthly charges. This is the same router that they are currently installing in homes and businesses. I know this because my parents had a recent install and my office had been using this same router up until a couple months ago. Way after this so called new date. I would have been fine paying such an additional fee if provided wifi coverage to my entire house and had up to date parental controls, which it clearly can't and doesn't. It's over 5 year old tech and is completely not necessary. Many times when the system is not working their techs had me by pass the router and go directly to the computer.

REBUTTAL RESPONSE:Mr. was previously advised an order (7105590) requesting the
removal of the Wi-Fi router fee was placed. It was advised this was no guarantee because the router is a required
component of the Mega Package. An audit
could potentially restore this fee, due to the company’s new policy.“Effective April 29, 2019, the Frontier Wi-Fi Router became the
approved equipment to be used with our internet service and specifically

adjustment of $10.00 for 12-Months. Once
the 12-Months expires, the customer must decide to maintain or cancel the Mega Package. A one-time credit of $60.00 was applied to
the account for the previous six-month charges previously applied to the
account. We sincerely apologize for the difficulty Mr. has experienced as

I have been out of internet service with Frontier and their resolution time is 2 weeks out 08/12. This is because, they have no techs in out area to service us. I was told today that even through their escalation process it still will be 2 weeks out. Last night 07/31, I called back to try and get additional assistance in rebooting my internet as they told me to go outside and pull the wire out of the box to try and reboot. My husband did this and when he did we now have a fiber optic line in our yard. When I called they told me it wasn't a problem and just tell the children to not play outside or grab ahold of the line. This company is selling a product that can't service the customer if something goes wrong timely. They advertise 24/7 service and one call resolution. I need assistance in getting this cable off my lawn and my service fixed

Currently I am a Frontier Customer for more than 5 years, since I am moving out from my current household and called Frontier to disconnect my service I was told that I am in a contract and I will be charged $45 to break it. When I requested to provide the copy of the contract the customer service refused to provide me one. I feel that I am being handled with un-fair business practice.

We started service in mid-June of 2019. Issue #1-The installer showed up high and seemed out of it. My wife tried to talk to him about the best place to install our modem, but he didn't listen and just fumbled around and ended up drilling a hole through our kitchen wall to run the coax cable. He said service will get to all parts of the house without testing anything. We found out that it didn't reach all parts of the house. I called to complain but the customer service rep didn't care and didn't take a report.
Issue #2-we were sent a letter on 6/20/19 that stated we needed to provide them with a positive identification form. If we didn't have it completed by July 5, 2019 then our service would be disconnected. We provided the necessary information including our social security number and picture of our driver's license. This seemed totally unnecessary, but we did it anyway. I faxed a copy to the number provided as well as mailed a copy to the address provided on 7/2/19. We didn't hear back from Frontier. Then on 7/30/19, we had no internet service. I called, and talked with a rep who said that we didn't complete the Positive ID Form, but I told her that I did, and I have a fax confirmation. She talked with her supervisor, Tim, and he said that it wasn't received. I told them the number that I faxed my information, and she said that it was wrong. She gave me another number. I then asked her where my personal information went with my SSN and Driver's License, and she said it went to their NY office. I also asked her why didn't they forward the information. She had no answer. I was upset that my personal information is just floating out there. She didn't care about my personal information being out there for anyone to see.
So, I then, had to drive down to a FEDEX office to fax them my information again. I did this by 10:30am. I called back to confirm that they received the information, they did. I then told them that we need our service turned back on ASAP because my wife works at home and does a lot of business through Facebook Live with her clients. The customer service rep talked with her supervisor, Tim. He said everything looks good, and they will get right on this and it shouldn't take very long.
2 hours later, I called again (3rd time on 7/30/19) to see what's going on with our service. The customer service rep said they haven't received anything. I became upset and told them that Tim the supervisor saw everything we sent. She then talked with Tim, and he said that he called to get our service restored but nothing has happened. I asked several times, why is it so difficult to turn the service back on, if you can turn it off quickly, then it should be turned on quickly?
She then said it might take a while longer. Then, I asked how I can cancel service, and she directed me to the Retention Dept.
I talked with Aaron from this department, and he tried to work with me, and told me that the right information was received from my fax, and he would contact the department to turn on my internet service. Then we got disconnected.
I called back, and talked with another agent who said that they never received any of my information. This was totally unacceptable. So, they sent me to the retention dept again, and I talked with another agent. She told me that I should disconnect the modem and it should be restored in 15 mins or so. I did that and nothing.
So, I called back again the next day. This agent told me that the dept that turns on service just received my information, and it may take up to 72 hours to turn on my service. This was the last straw. So, I was again sent to the retention dept, and asked how to cancel my service. He told me to go online, WHAT? I have no service. Then, he said it would take up to 24-48 hours to have my service cancelled. I asked for a refund for this horrible service and inconvenience. He told me no.
There was no reason that our service should have been turned off in the first place, and it shouldn't take 3 days to get service turned back on. This is totally unacceptable, devious business practices, and violation of my privacy if Frontier doesn't know where my personal information has gone.

Frontier's "investigation" showed nothing on their end. I did what was right, Frontier cancelled my service based on their error and didn't restore service. I sent in the proper documentation on time to the number that was provided on the form. Frontier messed up but does not want to admit any wrongdoing. And, now on August 17th, I was sent a bill from Frontier in the amount of $70.96. I already cancelled this service on July 24th (or so) 2019. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing at Frontier, and the company is full of deception. All, I'm asking for now is that I don't receive further bills that I shouldn't be receiving, and the $70.96 should be refunded and waived as I don't have service with Frontier.

. For the past year our internet service Frontier has been inoperable more than it has been operating. I have been on hold for many hours and ( I Know Frontier's Check list by heart that customer service center uses. The internet service is erratic as far as functionality. I have even ask to speak with a manager at the service center and they only wanted to put me through the same check list. I have asked for a service ticket to be issued and the manager would refuse. I have been told by service techs that they would issue a service ticket. But after a week of nothing and no service. I speak to another service center tech , only to find out that there never was one submitted. On July 28th 2019 once again I had no 8nternet service all weekend. So after being on chat hold for an hour. I got a tech that would actually do something as nd provided me good service. She continued as contacted the DSL tech without putting me through the stupid check list.service was ret8. Now today August 1st once again a full day with no internet service. It's been a year and I would say out of twelve months. My internet has only work 60 percent of the time. So I have to use my data. In a summary . Your equipment is constantly failing, talk to techs so much that I know you're cheat check list by heart and have spent in total at the least and 80 work week on the phone or on hold. At this th time Iam using my data to fill out th his complaint because my internet is inoperable Again
