    These guys have the worst cable and internet. They offer 15mpbs internet package and after speed test numorous times I don't get even half of that. They have some sort of monoply on my area of downtown seattle so that if I want cable I have to deal with them. Not Fair At All.

    I think that these guys are unfair and that the prices are way to high! Not to mention they claim that they have a speed of 15mpbs and they dont even come close to that! The television cable they offer is the very worst I have ever seen anyware in my entire life!

    Dear Broadstripe
    I have attempted to call Broadstripe at 410-987-5301, Communicate with you via Live Chat many times during times that you say you are open and on line without success. I wish to discontinue service with your organization on February 1, 2009. Reviewing my on-line statement I notice that I have a significant credit. Reaching this decision has really not been difficult. We have had continual problems with the service since 5/20/2007 when it was first installed. The initial install was not done at the scheduled time and went down the next day. During the nearly two years since then your phone and internet service have been down no less than 10 percent of the time. Calling you has always been a chore – I quickly learned that having a speaker phone was necessary as I generally wait on hold a minimum of 30 minutes to speak with someone. Why does your service go down? Over a year ago I noticed a correlation between rain and your service. If it rains – the service goes down. I discussed this with one of your technicians and he stated that the 35 feet of wire from the street to the house must have a nick and need replacement. He said he would schedule it – it never happened despite follow up calls by me. I have called you no less than six times requesting a copy of original contract with your company. Each time I was promised it would be mailed – Those calls occurred during the past 13 months. I’ve still not seen it. These are tough economic times for all of us. I for one will not continue to contribute to the finances of a company that does not provided reliable service nor reasonable customer service. As I leave Broadstripe under these circumstances I will carry forward the memory of no service or contacts during the past Thanksgiving 4 day weekend, many hours on hold listening to elevator music over my speaker phone, the many extra minutes on my cell phone because the home phone did not work and the dead space I get when trying to use your live chat during house that your claim to be on line. Please make arrangements to collect any Broadstripe equipment that you might have at my home as soon as possible after Feburary 1, 2009. Chris Nissen 410-514-5852 8365-20-001-1889977

    I disconnected my cable in August, so I was supposed to recieve a check from them. It's November now and still haven't recieved my check. I called several times and was told that I had been sent a check in October, but I still haven't recieved it. I called them again and they said in order for them to send me a new check, they have to get back the old check, but I don't know where that check is because I never got it. It's frusturating because I have called them over 10 times ever since September but no one ever returned my calls even though I was told a supervisor would contact me.

    $202.30 was added to my bill as an adjustment. When I called to inquire what this amount was for, I was told that it was owed by Mark H and I need to sue him for the money. I told them that he didn't live here any more and that they need to sue him, not me. They insist that I need to prove that I was not living in the house at the time he owed this money. I explained to them that I was living with a friend and that I didn't have utility bills in my name there, but I did have other mail that I could show them. They didn't want other mail.

    They expect to tack his bill onto mine. I told them that my previous account shows that I had a $0 balance, and if Mark owes them money that they need to go after Mark. It is illegal for them to tell me or discuss with me Mark's account balance. This is a violation of his privacy laws, and also says alot for how much privacy I would have with them. I told them to cancel my account and come get their stuff out of my house. I no longer wish to deal with them.

    I had to take the day off of work to be at the house when they came to install cable, tv and phone and now I will have to take 2 more days off of work to change companies because one day will be for them to come get their equipment (or they will force me to drive to Broadstripe and drop it off myself). Then another day will have to be taken to wait for the new company to come to install the new system.
