    Their customer service has been good. I got internet. However, the price varies. One, it'll be 80. Then this month, it’s 95. I don’t know why the price fluctuates.

    MetroNet is 1,000% better than the other provider. My internet doesn't go out. The download and upload speeds are great. The guy who came and hooked up my internet was amazing. He was very informative and the most professional I've dealt with. Every single time I have an interaction with MetroNet, it's always been above and beyond. They have done the most to make sure customer service is great.

    We just moved from one house to another in town, and we got MetroNet again. It’s the best around. I like MetroNet very much. I like their high internet speeds. Every time we had any problem, my husband would call and talk to them. The reps were always nice and walk him through because we're not as tech-savvy as some of the younger kids. We had another provider before MetroNet came to our area and it seemed like the service was always out, and the customer service wasn’t as good.

    I am absolutely floored by this company. I decided to give them a try and have been regretting the decision from the start. We are a business and for us every missed call is money down the drain. We had everything all hooked up and then realized that the voicemail was not working. Trying to figure out why was a very lengthy and painful process. We finally got it figured out and we were going fine for about a month when we were unable to get into the voicemail and listen to the messages. Again another very lengthy process where they ultimately shut off one of our phone lines. Neither time did they have any clue as to what was going on or how to fix it. We have 2 phone lines and 1 fax line and it seemed to confuse them both times we called in for help. The internet was never working properly as well.

    Finally I decided to go back to our previous carrier. I never turned off our service with Metronet because I wanted to wait until it was all switched over and working properly. Metronet took it upon themselves to shut off our service. I just had a customer contact us to say none of our phone lines were working. I can't even imagine how much business we have lost because of Metronet. They charged me over $2000 for a service that did not work. Strongly do NOT recommend.

    MetroNet’s been the best service we've had so far. I've always told people to switch to them since we moved two years ago. We had Spectrum, Direct, and Windstream and they all were crap, and their prices were bad. MetroNet is cheaper, and our data seems to be faster than the other networks for the most part. I've also had good customer service with them when I've had to call. It's been pretty easy to deal with them. The only thing we've had issues with is at nighttime between 9:00 and 11:00 we get delays or buffering issues. That's hit-and-miss. Everybody's home at that time, so everybody's doing stuff. It drags a little bit, but it comes back up by the next morning.

    MetroNet is leaps and bounds better than the providers I had before. I had Comcast for 18 years before I moved and had to get AT&T DSL. MetroNet has a fiber service that gives me a lot more upload as well as that download. I'm a network engineer so this is my area of expertise. Comcast’s network seems to have a little less latency when it comes into play and when dealing with real-time applications like doing Voice over IP or gaming. I noticed a little bit more with MetroNet. Customer service is also good and they always do everything they can to try to take care of me. The one thing I'm waiting on right now is for MetroNet to upgrade their wireless access points to the Wireless 6 Pro.

    Updated on 07/30/2021: My last review for MetroNet was July 16, and now here I am again. Have had Metronet maybe almost a month. So many issues and nothing yet resolved. We have had technicians out maybe 3 times and my husband has been on the phone to customer service 8 or more times. Tv works for a couple days and then my other 3 tvs get no signal. Technician comes out, fixes it and within a couple days back to problems again. My internet seems to connect and disconnect continuously.

    My husband was on the phone again this morning with a technician, did everything he said and once again it worked. Now this evening 3 tvs had no signal and internet not connecting like it should. My husband has now refused to call a technician because he is tired of running around to each tv to fix. Just when will we get a solution already, I am truly so disgusted that these issues can't be solved. We shouldn't have to pay for no internet and tvs that aren't working. We are in our 70's, and my husband should not have to be running around to each tv to unplug or reset these things. I would really like something to be accomplished already. Never have we had complaints against ATT, U-verse or DIRECTV, except for the rising prices. I don't care if someone is here all day to fix these issues, but PLEASE, get something done already.

    Original: We have had Metronet for a little over 2 weeks. Only 1 of our 4 tvs works. Internet is sporadic, with messages, not connected to internet. We have had technicians out 3 times now. Tvs work for a couple days, then they are out again with no signal message. My husband has talked to customer service now 8 times, over an hour each time. He is tired of running back and forth connecting and disconnecting boxes, things he knows nothing about. We are in our 70's and don't really know that much about the technology that is involved. We have not had all tvs working for more than 2 days. My internet is sporadic with messages telling me, no internet connection. I cannot really complain about the technicians who came out, nor the people my husband talked to on the phone. I just want these problems fixed already.

    The initial installation took well over a month for the cable to be buried but after the cut, it was only a week and they had the cable buried. And the young man that came out was very professional and nice. Then, in the beginning, we were getting interruptions but the interruptions have minimized. The internet is faster and speed is more consistent. Also, TV is a little better, particularly now that they've added some options to it. I would recommend taking MetroNet to anybody that asks.

    We’re thrilled about MetroNet's actual service. The connection has been spectacular. They've got an issue with how everything was originally set up though. We were originally promised $50 a month. We pay 90. I know that stuff happens with a lot of carriers and different things, but we did not get the original deal we were promised. They said, “Well, we don't even offer that anymore. We don't even do credit checks anymore.” Guess what? I still had to wait to put other things on my credit until that hard inquiry fell off. So, it affected me. I should have received the same deal that I originally was told I would get.

    I wasn't happy with Spectrum so I changed to MetroNet. As far as service goes, it's about the same. But the customer service is what made me change. I get customer service with MetroNet. With Spectrum, it was always something was our fault or they couldn't help us at a time, and they'd have to get back with me. A lot of times, we just get a recording if it was after hours.

    We like MetroNet. We've only had it for about a month and a half, but we've had no trouble with it. There was no downtime. I've had to call one time, and the lady solved the problem pretty much within five minutes. They put the box in a room that is a spare room for my mother, and I wasn't happy with where it was at. I wasn't home when they put it in, and my nephew was down here. It was kind of my fault and their fault as well. I told my nephew to tell them to put it just wherever they thought it was the best place for it. Everything else we have as far as lines coming into the house comes into the main living room, and they put it in a far back bedroom. I never dreamed they would put it in the bedroom they put it in. The lady said if there was a problem, they'd just come out and move it from where it's at to someplace else.

    The only other thing was, I had a bunch of stuff back there and they moved it. We do a major grocery shopping once a month, and I wasn't aware that it was back in that bedroom until I got home. I've got two deep freezers back there, too. They moved everything around my deep freezers and on top of my deep freezer. So when we got home, I was scrambling to get frozen stuff into the deep freezer. But it wasn't that big of a deal. I was just panicking because we got major groceries that’s gonna go on that deep freezer and I can't get to it.

    There is the ability to get a higher speed of service with MetroNet for the same or lower price. So far, I've had good customer service with them. When we set up the service, I went to the in-person office and they talked to me and helped me. You don't get that from pretty much any other company because you have to call an 800 number. Every other interaction I've had with MetroNet since has been easy because it's usually online. I can very easily go on their website and make a change or a payment. It’s been a good experience. The service was installed in my brand new home. We had Spectrum cable before. Compared to that, MetroNet is more reliable and we haven't had any outages.

    We used to have Comcast and they were terrible. We did MetroNet and loved their customer service. That was what we liked about them the most. However, their overall service now is terrible. If people asked me, I’d tell them not to get MetroNet. My husband doesn’t like change and we’re staying with them but we haven't been able to use one of the boxes since we had it installed. Also, there are constant breaks in the service. We're paying almost $300 a month for cable because we have all this crap with them. I'm not happy with any of it. We never had this issue ‘til we moved to this neighborhood. We had great service at our other neighborhood. I don't know if they've got too many people on one system here and they're not willing to do anything about it. Bottom line is, if I wasn't lazy, I would be done with the service. I just don't have the time or the energy to figure out how to not use MetroNet.

There was a promotion and then there was a little wrangling with figuring out whether I qualified for the promotion 'cause I literally called on the last day that you would be eligible. So, I had to call back and make sure they realize the timing 'cause when I first asked somebody, they said I was not. But I was told I was and because I made it on the last day, and they straightened that out. They said yes. After two payments, I got a Visa card for 250.

    I signed up for auto payment, but it was on the same day it was due so it wasn't able to draw. I got a call saying I was overdue, and I didn't realize I was. The first warning was if I don't pay within 18 days, they're gonna cut me off. I told them that I plan to pay. At this point, the service seems fine and it is a nicer system. It's been running flawless and I haven't had any hiccups with it. I've told a few people already about MetroNet and the price and whatnot.

    MetroNet is so much better and more reliable than the other provider I used. Signing-up was quick and simple. The guy was in and out and made sure everything was up and running before he left. They work on your systems mostly during the evening to get upgrades so it doesn't interfere with network usage. The equipment and the service are great. The customer service has been wonderful and I’ve been trying to recommend it to everybody that can.

    I’ve been a MetroNet internet customer for a few months now since switching from Xfinity. Haven’t had any issues with service. I’ve been working from home and son doing online learning. I never really had a need to call customer service until yesterday. While I was working there were men laying lines and digging in my backyard when my internet stopped working. I noticed 4 MetroNet trucks in front of my house. So I tried resetting the router but nothing would work. So I called tech support. The man on the phone had me unplug everything for 30 seconds and plug it back in. I did. Still didn’t work. He stated he couldn’t see a connection on his end and would have to send out a tech. The next available time was 3 days from now. I said, "Well there are currently 4 MetroNet trucks in front of my house and 5 guys from MetroNet in my backyard laying a line and digging even though nobody had been out to mark anything. Could this be the reason?"

    He said he didn’t know and couldn’t check. So I took the time available and a little while later called Customer Service. I explained what was happening and the MetroNet trucks were still in front of my house and guys still digging in my backyard. She simply said I had an appointment and couldn’t tell what they were doing. Do you send techs out and not keep track or a record of where they are? So I wait a little bit and call back just to try one more time. No luck. New neighbors got their service up and running and an existing MetroNet customer lost their service because the techs cut my line and I have to wait 3 days for someone to come back. I’m sorry but if you were a company who cared about all your customers new and existing, someone should have come back to fix my line or I should have been your first stop this morning.

I've tried to be calm and patient and it was easy because the people that answered were very understanding, took the time, and did not want to let go until they made sure that everything had been corrected, and walked me through it. It's just that there are still some problems. It’s with the systems and it’s not quite in shape yet. There's a lot of glitches and one of the things that I need, and luckily, the last guy agreed, is to have somebody come back out and look at the way the guy installed it. There's too much stuff behind our television set on the floor and it's very hard to get to it because they’ll many times ask to unplug and plug back in again. They're talking to people that are up in the 80s and that's not as easy as it would be for a younger person. I'm hoping to get that worked out.

    MetroNet had a map on their website and I would check their map once a month to see if they were in our area yet. They were offering 5G service and I was running about 30 or 40 with my AT&T service. I do IT, I do websites, so speed was important to me. Then I was sitting at my desk, and I saw a MetroNet truck go by. I called them right away and they started installing the service in my area. I was the first one connected.

    The TV service is pretty lame. They're using old Cisco boxes which are the same as I had with AT&T. I've had them out several times, ‘cause we couldn't get recorded things up in any of the auxiliary boxes. The last gentlemen they sent out was extremely knowledgeable, very patient with me, and walked me through everything and how to make sure, and basically only upgraded one piece of equipment, which made a huge difference in our service. He said they are coming out with the TiVo service probably within the year and that should resolve any issues we have. They have it in other areas, but not here yet because we were one of their first, so we’re stuck with the old stuff. He also said he had a job offer from one company and he turned it down because MetroNet would have more room for his advancement. I was very impressed with that. Overall, I recommend MetroNet to anybody and everybody. They opened a whole new vista for us.

    It took about three days to get the MetroNet installed instead of one. The installers didn't have the experience they needed to get it done right. The tech had a lot of young help he was trying to train at the same time. But that has improved some since. Usually, I can get ahold of somebody to straighten the problems out. It's just that I have equipment problems. TV service was pretty good, except when they had to replace modems and all this. I was without modem three times in the last year and a half. One time I was without service for a day and a half before they got somebody scheduled to come in to look at it. That's the other problem they’ve got, the help to keep up with all their problems. Most of the time, they're pretty cooperative. But they’re just smug like everybody else. Takes them all hell to get things figured out. Also, every two, three months, they jack their prices up, and then I don't get good service.

    It’s been very taxing. I've been with them ever since they came to Crawfordsville, and I’ve tried and tried to give them a chance. They’ve got the fiber service and that’s one reason I hooked up with them. After I dropped the cable and just went to the internet, there was no questions asked. Sometimes the internet takes forever to come on. Then they kept charging me for the set-top box for the last six months now. I finally called in and got that supposedly straightened out. They didn't communicate very well with the main people.

    MetroNet gives me enough options. I'm in a weird situation because I live in two different houses at the same time. And the one is with MetroNet in Indiana, and I also live in Utah. And right now, I'm spending most of my time in Utah. One of the features that MetroNet allows me to have is to put things on vacation if I need to. And that's very nice because I'm not there sometimes. That's a good option.

    The other problem that I sometimes have, for example, I got a note today that they are working on the internet. Generally, that means they are going to knock out my internet and it would be be off for a while and then other things. For most normal people, you can go in and can undo your modem and get it kicked back in and do some of those kinds of things. But for me to do that, I have to call somebody to come over to my house and readjust everything when that happens. If I don't do that, that means that it's going to be offline for a long time. I control all of my house security, all of my irrigation in my yard, etc by that internet. So that internet gets knocked out and I lose control my thermostats. It's a bad situation. And that happened on a couple of occasions.

    The last occasion, I had a neighbor come over and they worked with me for a couple of hours. Because we had to call in the internet guy with the updated whatever. They fried their modem. So, they had to call somebody and they had to come fix it, and get it all set back up again. That was a hassle. But that is not any more hassle than anybody else is offering.

    For most of the time, they do fine. But I would always warn my friend that they have these outages now and then. If you're living in the house, it's not big a hassle. You can just reboot your modem, see that it settles down after a bit. But I rent my house out sometimes and I have to have it up and ready to go. And if the internet ever goes down during those times, it’s a real hassle. Other than that, I've worked with MetroNet's chat guys on multiple occasions and they were great. I can get on there and then they would fix the issue every time.

But, MetroNet said the line gets put into the ground by a third party and what they do is that they let customers stack up until they got enough people in an area and then they go out and do them. That's not the greatest bit. Other than that, MetroNet is pretty good. The speed of their service stands out. I'm getting 500 up and down.

They were able to correct the problem. I almost had it right, by myself, but I did not know the correct sequence to get it started again.

    We had cable, phone, and internet and MetroNet, in the beginning, was heads above the rest. The internet was better and customer service was outstanding. With our other provider, we were constantly having issues and customer service was terrible. So, MetroNet was a very nice breath of fresh air. This is the second time we've used MetroNet because, after their promotional rates, their stuff goes up. We ended up leaving but we came back to MetroNet because we weren't having the best internet experience.

    Now, the internet service is different than before. We have moments where our internet goes out a bunch and my husband has called a couple of times. They keep saying that the feed is fine, but then our internet will just go out. My husband even bought a bridge for it. But that can all be attributed to the fact that every single person is home using the internet.

    The MetroNet box was placed in our yard, the one for the neighborhood. When the gentleman came out to install my neighbor's cable, it was really crazy snowy and he couldn't find the box. So, he asked me to attach it to my home. I told him that I didn't want a wire running from my house to the neighbor's house. So, my husband showed him where the box was and the guy said that it was not supposed to be there. It was supposed to be in the corner of the yard. But ultimately, he ended up running a wire long my fence until they were able to come and bury it and I found that unacceptable.

    I've had good times and bad times with Metronet. I've had a lot of my TV freezing. Sometimes, some of MetroNet's people get on the line and help, but some of them couldn't do anything. They burned my line out here three times. I've been on the line for an hour with them. If you got internet and TV both, you need a modem that breaks them apart. If you lose one, you won't lose them both. Mine is set up now that I can lose my TV and my internet still works or vice versa.

    MetroNet had the cheapest rate for students. Their customer service has been fine too. One time, I called them but they couldn't fix it over the phone. So they sent somebody out. But it took a long time for them to get somebody out to me. But I assumed it was because of COVID and they could only go to a certain amount of apartments a day. But when the tech came, it was a quick fix.

    Everything is great with MetroNet. The only thing I haven't liked so far was in the beginning when I set up my service. They tried to send an extra unit that they set up for me but it ended up costing me extra, even though I'm only in a one-bedroom apartment. So I didn't need it. They were just assuming that I needed it and they were gonna charge me without telling me.

    I've had Comcast and AT&T U-verse, and the speed for the price with Metronet is unmatched compared to the other two providers. The service has been great. The speeds are what they promised. The biggest problem I had with Comcast and the reason why I got my mom off them was you pay a pretty penny for their internet. They promise 180 megabits down and there were times where I would go over there and do a speed test on it but she was only getting 70. With Metronet, their speed has always been right on and the cost for what you get is good. The only issue I had is while we were setting my mom up, I made sure to mention I'd get a referral credit for it but it got lost in the documentation. A couple months later, I had to call them and tell them I haven't seen a credit and they took care of it immediately. It showed up the next month.

    I was looking to change because I was unhappy with Xfinity. I called Metronet and someone was at my door the next day to install the line so that when the installers came in a couple of days later, everything was ready. They were out here and did a fantastic job. They made sure not to mess up my floor when they were in here. What I did like was that they sent someone to take a look at the job that was done after it was installed to make sure that it was good. Metronet is a very customer-oriented company. They follow through with their promises. They are kind and courteous. Their internet service is reliable and fast. I love it. It's so much better than my previous provider. Anytime I had to download something, it took forever because I supposed to have had 200 megabytes download speed with Comcast but it didn't. It was in kilobytes when it was downloading.

    I've had MetroNet for a couple of years now, when they first came to town. I left town for a while, and then when I came back, I got hooked up with them again. Once, a friend of mine worked for Sprint and did a lot of the groundbreaking as far as laying fiber lines, so I knew about it. I was aware of what it was and I knew that it did a better job too with the push-me-pull-you effect, that the input and output were almost the same. That's why I went with that.

    The guy that put it in initially put it back in the bedroom, which I just had to strain to get the TV up in the middle room, or go all the way back in the back to the front of the house. So, I had him come back out and put a new box in the middle room here and hook the computer directly up to it. And then I just Wi-Fi the rest of the stuff around here. Everything has been fine since I got him to move the location of my router and the router box. The guy was friendly to talk to. He helped me. It was the same young man that installed it the first time. He came back and reinstalled it. They were very professional in their overall situation, coming out and everything else. They did a good job here. I knew what they were doing, and he came back and did a much better job. He did it the best way.

    I've had tech services from MetroNet come out to my front office in my house a few times because I'm not getting a great signal. There really shouldn't be an issue because it's not far away from my main modem and router, but for whatever reason, I see a lot of buffering on my TV and my Wi-Fi is not full strength. But for the most part, the strength is pretty good. Occasionally, there's a lag in the signal for maybe 30 to 60 seconds and stuff goes out, and then it comes back on. I've only had it for a short time. There are a few hiccups that I still need to get worked out. The whole home network might just not be quite ideal yet and they have to strengthen that somehow.

    We have been a client of Metronet for a few months now, it was about November when their fiber optic cables became available in my area. We immediately rushed to them because of their much faster internet, and it was much better than Spectrum. Unfortunately, in December we lost internet for 3 days because a small mix-up and they didn't wanna send anyone out to fix it, customer service hung up on us when we called to inquire about when it'd be back. Furthermore, when we signed up with them we were supposed to get a mesh wifi system (and paid for), instead we got one router wifi system, due to an oversight.

    Now in November we have once again lost wifi during the middle of the day. Support is no help, and won't tell us anything. Throughout the last month we've also experienced random connection issues kicking us from games, and interrupting our streaming. While spectrum has slower speeds in my area we are seriously considering switching because reliability is something we expect.

It has been two weeks of nightmarish attempts to be communicated with on why we haven't received a proper installation. December 1st - I scheduled an installation for December 12th, which was the move in day of our new apartment. December 7th - I received a call stating that the building needed a "MPU" and wasn't given any other explanation. Our install was canceled. December 7th - I messaged support inquiring about if there was an issue with our address. They said they would update the address and we would be called back to set up installation.

    December 8th - I emailed support in inquire about installation. They replied that it appeared the terminal needed to be installed, and this would take 3-6 weeks. I contacted our property manager to inquire about this and he said it did not make sense, as everyone in the building uses metro net, and the person who moved out 2 months prior to us moving in used Metro Net. December 10th - I called Metro Net and relayed the information from our property manager. They said they would send someone out to check the terminal. December 11th - A technician called and said he had just checked the terminal and said I was all set for installation. I called and set up installation for December 15th. December 11th - I emailed support and let them know I was frustrated with the delay in installation when they were the ones to cancel. I never heard back.

    December 15th - The technician arrived to install our router and service. He tried multiple outlets and spent some time in the maintenance room in the basement. He said he "had to check something downstairs" and left without telling us. December 15th - I called Metro Net to inquire why the tech left and we did not have services installed. I was told I would be called back but wasn't. December 15th - I called again to inquire on what was going on. I was told they were checking in with dispatch. The agent on the phone said "I can't promise I'll call you back today, or even tomorrow. I don't work tomorrow so I definitely won't be calling you tomorrow."

    December 16th - I called in the morning to again inquire what was going on with installation. I was told I would be called back. December 16th - I called again and was told that Metro Net bought a local internet company that installed original services, and they were unaware of the layout of our building or if there was enough "light" to give service to our apartment. I inquired on when I would know and they said they couldn't give me any time range. They said they were trying to sync the departments but don't know when that would happen. December 16th - Our property manager stopped by and showed me the attic with ethernet ports which the technician never went into. I called back and inquired if this was helpful knowledge and was told it was not.

    My husband and I both work from home, and my husband is starting online questions this week. Internet access is imperative to our careers, and my husband's success as a student for which we just paid a lot of money for. Due to Covid, we no longer have access to offices.

    Nowhere close to the speed advertised. Sign up discount offers were "accidentally" not included in billing. Called in about oversight and they still didn't fix the billing the second month. Base charge of $49.95 does NOT include the mandatory technology fee of $9.95. They assumed I wanted a mailed statement at the cost of $4.95 a month. They also assumed I wanted a second WiFi for another $7.95 a month. End of the day the lowest bill you can get is about $63.00, a far cry from the advertised $49.95.

    In Lexington, we finally have fiber. I was worried when reading some of the reviews but that wasn't stopping me from getting the only fiber internet in the city. Previously, we had Windstream, which was actually not that bad at all. Reading through the reviews I haven't experienced ANY of this. We called to set up install, they were 20 mins late (which wasn't a huge deal), they ran fiber up through our attic down into our laundry room where a patch panel is. (for free, mind you). The install took about 4 hours (which I was expecting because all of the reviews I've read seemed to be about the same install time). It was between 1 and 2 weeks when they came to bury the line. I noticed there was a small area not of exposed line (not buried) where it comes out of my house and across the top of pebbles of the HVAC system. They have a form I filled out and took pictures and submitted and they were out a few days later and buried that.

    The service has been great. We got 200/200 and I get 200/200 (regularly on all of my wi-fi devices (except one laptop). That laptop is OLDER and it just can't get those speeds because of the wi-fi adapter. I have downloaded so much and it's just keeps going with no issues. We canceled DirecTV and Use streaming YouTube TV instead. It's really amazing and I have had none of the nightmare problems that I've read about on here. But everyone's home and situation are different. Hope this helps.

    Subscribed to the 100 Mbps plan - ordered on Sunday, picked up self-install kit on Monday. Customer service extremely responsive, sent me technicians to set up my connection on Wednesday. Speed is always consistent - 100 Mbps download AND upload with no disruptions! Excellent speeds even when used across several devices, including Zoom meetings, video conferences, and heavy uploads and downloads. Highly recommend! (Some of the reviews here almost scared me away, so I'm posting my own experience here.)

    I had gotten the service from Metronet in the end of December 2019. Canceled it end of March 2020. There were issues with the speed promised. Instead of 200 mbps it was ~50 mbps. That’s not even taking into account the three different times I had service calls to come and figure out why the TV receivers refused to function. When I finally decided to cancel their service, the address I was given to return the equipment was still under construction with no way to drop off equipment!!! During the whole COVID situation start and in April I would stop by the “under construction” building to drop off the equipment.

    During this whole situation I’m trying to port my home phone number that I’ve had for 25 years while they blocked it. I called repeatedly, no one knew what was going on. Finally, I got a new phone number from a different provider, end up finding they sold my old number to a different company!! At the same time I get a letter from a collection company for the equipment and service that I canceled for over three months!! I finally got to return in the end of almost three months of stopping by when I randomly ran into a manager at the building site that was there by chance.... Their call center is subpar, they don’t give you complete information if they give any at all. After getting passed around when I call they can’t figure out why I’m frustrated when they don’t know what to do... I’m extremely disappointed in their service and in the outcome. I will contest any collection charges I get regardless of how big or small.

    The only reason this company receives any stars is because of the product they offer regarding internet (fiber optic). It is more reliable then any other internet service I have had which at this time of working from home is what I need. I do not need companies like Comcast trying to sell me business internet since they can't provide reliable residential service (up-sell to satisfy a quality issue... that's Comcast!). Please note that Metronet installation was initially done incorrectly and they had to redo it, so I did have unexplained service interruption a year ago.

    With this said, you MUST be very careful with your Metronet billing. If anything goes wrong, the representatives do not effectively correct the issues. To date, I am owed over 125 dollars and have tried Metronet's online chat feature, over the phone, in person (during COVID), over my account portal and with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

    Here is the billing story: I recently canceled TV service and they charged me for the TV and all equipment on the next bill which was issued the week after cancellation. The bill was $515.39 which they planned to auto debit from my bank account 15 days after the print date of that invoice. Despite the bill clearly showing they were billing me for a period AFTER my cancellation, I could not receive an accurate amount owed over the phone (would not address existing credit, taxes or prorated amount to effectively give me a total) or a proper address to mail my equipment to (I was actually hung up on by representative).

    I finally had to physically go in to return my $330 worth of equipment (yes I was required to return my equipment in person during COVID).

    Upon arrival, the Carmel, Indiana representative told me the math was simple, rolled his eyes at me, and proceeded to patronize me as I sat there in a face mask. All this was unnecessary, I could have mailed the stuff but there is no accurate instructions on who to mail it to and it would have had to be done by certified mail because, trust me, these people would screw up receipt of this expensive equipment. I then overpaid my bill online since the Carmel representative's simple math was VERY wrong and I gave up trying to get him to listen to me as he clearly thought I was a moron (maybe it was my face mask, since he was not wearing one). I knowingly overpaid my bill to avoid interruption of internet service (critical to my job) and then sought reimbursement through the account portal online.

    Please be aware that while I was doing all this, I had a Better Business Bureau (BBB) complaint filed with them after I was hung up on by their representative. Metronet took the longest to reply of any other company I have filed a BBB complaint against. The BBB assured me they would reply, stating they ALWAYS do, which indicates a significant volume of complaints with the BBB. When Metronet finally did reply, they said they had contacted me and resolved all matters. This was not true, I had contacted them (after BBB complaint) both in person and online to avoid service interruption and late fees. At the time of me writing this, their response to BBB says the matter has been resolved, I have yet to receive my $125 plus they owe me (despite a Metronet rep email saying I am owed this) and they have not once reached out to me to correct this matter. All interaction has been driven by me.

    In July I signed up to use Metronet as my internet service provider. The price was good and the speed was good. While I've never received the speed I was told I would get, it's been plenty fast and hassle free. I signed up for a 500 mbps plan for 18 months at $49.95 per month. I was told on the phone that I needed to sign up for paperless billing and automatic withdrawals to get that rate. Ok. Did that. When I looked at my current service on their website, it said that my bill would be $49.95 and fees would be $0.00. You can imagine how surprised I was when my first bill came through at $49.95 + a $9.95 technology fee. The bill did confirm that I would have the $49.95 rate until January of 2021. I wasn't happy, but I paid it because it was still a pretty good rate.

    Then, In October of 2019 Metronet changed the terms of my contract, adding an additional $10 to my plan, to go into effect in January of 2020. I thought maybe this was to correct the oversight of the undisclosed technology fee. It wasn't. It was just an increase in the rate. When January came, I was charged the higher service amount AND the technology fee, for a total of $69.90. Checking my service on their website still showed $0.00 for additional fees.

    I contacted customer service about the discrepancies in the amount being charged, the change in the service charge and the application of undisclosed fees. They did send me an email with a document that is not available on their website that they say is what I signed up for. This was the first time that I saw it, and it was different from what the Metronet sales/service rep told me, and different from the plan that was outlined on my first three bills. I've had issues with other ISPs, but lying to me was not one of them. I will be switching to a different provider. I may not get as fast of service, but I won't be worrying that They'll change things after the fact, or that I'll be facing another undisclosed rate hike in a few months.

    While I cannot review the quality of MetroNet's internet, as I only had it for a few hours, I can say that their installers and customer support are terrible, with them repeatedly either making things up because they didn't know what they were talking about or downright lying. On the day they were scheduled to come out and setup my already working internet, they broke it, lied about what broke, refused to give requested updates, and over a month later I am still without internet. Here's the whole story:

    On November 24, I scheduled MetroNet to come out and install a modem in the house I just bought the following day sometime between 12pm-5pm. On November 25, I arrived at the house and noticed the previous owner, who also had MetroNet, had left their modem. Not realizing they were supposed to return it, I plugged in and used it until 4:30pm when the previous owner contacted me and let me know they had to return it. I unplugged it around 4:40pm in order to return it. No technician showed up to install a new modem nor did anyone contact me.

    On November 26, I emailed MetroNet's customer service asking what happened. I was told that there was no more room at the terminal to plug a new connection in. I explained that I did not need a new connection, but simply needed a new modem. The previous owner had not yet picked up the old modem and so I plugged it in and still had a connection. The previous owner picked up the modem shortly after.

    On November 29, I was told that on Monday when the technicians were scheduled to head to my house, they discovered that someone else had moved into the neighborhood and another technician had unplugged my fiber because the terminal was full. This cannot be true, I was using the connection all day Monday, and plugged in briefly Tuesday and still got a connection. Now, I am a network engineer by trade and so I used my fiber detector to plug into the fiber in my house to detect there was still light coming through the fiber transmitting data (I need a detector due to the wavelength of single mode fiber being outside the visible spectrum). I informed MetroNet via the same ticket I first entered.

    On December 2, I was thanked for the information and told it would be passed along to the network engineers, who were looking on a solution. I was not given an ETA despite the fact I specifically asked for one. On December 6, I called MetroNet's customer support and explained the situation. The support person I talked to said that my house was listed twice, once with the previous owner, once with me. This made the terminal appear full despite the fact it wasn't. The support person apologized, said she would note my account and scheduled an install for the following Tuesday, between 12pm-5pm. On December 9, I received confirmation that everything was set and a technician would be a my house between 12pm and 5pm the following day.

    On December 10, I stayed at my house all afternoon and no one showed up nor did anyone call. At quarter to 5pm, I called support and was told that my fiber had been unplugged at the other end and that the terminal was full. When I tried to explain that my house showed up in the system twice, I was ignored. When I pointed out that my fiber had to be plugged in at the other end because there was a signal coming out, I was told that fiber generates its own signal. Uh, no... fiber needs an SFP (or SFP+ or QSFP, etc.) optic module at the other end to have a signal... hence the name fiber optics. I was told the engineers were working on a solution and would contact me within a couple of days.

    On December 13, on received an automated email with a survey asking how I liked the service so far… On December 14, I filled out the survey, explaining that I did not have service and would be canceling on December 16 if I did not have an install date, or at least a logical explanation why it was taking so long. On December 16, I received a phone call that evening from MetroNet's tech support claiming that there was a failure on the back end and that they were waiting for a replacement part to arrive. While the tech did not give me an exact date, he did say it shouldn't be more than two weeks. I asked to receive updates every Monday until the problem was resolved, even if the update was "there is no update". The tech assured me he personally would provide the update

    On December 24, I sent an email inquiring about the update I did not receive the previous day. On December 25, I was told that nothing has happened since last time. The tech also let it slip that the team that was supposed to working on it was refusing to return his calls. He assured me he'd provide an update the following Monday. That was the last contact I had with MetroNet, it's been nearly two weeks since I was promised an update.

    Again, I'm a network engineer, things do happen, there are conflicts in databases, things break down, I get that. But breaking a user's internet on the day you were supposed to install it and not even making an attempt to fix it for over a month is not how you run a business. If a user's internet breaks, you fix it ASAP, even if it isn't the prettiest fix, and you have to go back through later to smooth out some things, you fix it. MetroNet has demonstrated that their installers are lazy, their tech support is willing to lie to their customers, and their engineers don't know what they're doing. They have shown they don't talk to each other internally, which explains why nothing is getting done.

    If you're considering MetroNet as your ISP, find a different one. Even if there internet is great (and I don't know whether or not it is), you're gonna have to jump through hoops to get it installed. And even if it is installed, if something breaks you may be out for months without warning. If you already have MetroNet, I recommend finding a different ISP, quick. If something breaks down, you'll be out for months, and support will have no problems lying to you about why that is.

I agreed willingly at the time because I am fed up with Spectrum and have been hoping something new would come to the area. However, these men said nothing about checking my credit and I did not authorize this. I specifically said I did not wish to provide my SS# on their computer device and they stated to my face it was to make sure I was the authorized person of the home to purchase service, not to check my credit.

    If I could give this company 0 stars I would. I called Comcast with Joy once I heard Metronet was coming to DeKalb. I cancelled my service and my cell phones (so I had to make some financial adjustments as well, no worries because I was intended to be very happy with Metronet). They were almost 3 months late on install, that's right. I cannot even make that up. I received every excuse in the book. Finally out of nowhere one day, we get the call to call them and well schedule our professional tech out there, I was excited!!

    The professional tech was barely able to speak Russian who was not with Metronet at all. People Metronet-like Comcast DOES NOT do their own installs. They hire out a 3rd party, and I must say they are very unprofessional. I am envious of some of these pictures of wires in the ground because our tech was so lazy he slapped them on the side of our house bundled up behind my foliage, it looks so cheesy and redneck.

    People this is JUST the beginning... after making 5 or six calls finally they agreed to come back out and fix the issue not just with the wires but the speeds. I ordered was supposed to be 1 gig. I was getting 250 wireless which you should get at least 500mbps, and wired I was getting about the same closer to 300. The second guy comes out, looks at everything, DOESNT fix the wires, and tells us things look good, after leaving I checked when I got home, and things were anything but good, the speeds still slow and no one cared to fix the wires. The tech said they were Comcast wires which is a downright lie.

    After going back and forth with customer service which is not as bad as Comcast I might add, they thought to give me credit, and send another (this time) Metronet tech, not a 3rd party., this I was excited finally was going to get this fixed. So the agenda to fix everything was to get the extenders. They said I didn't need in the first place that I had originally ordered, fix my bedroom. At the far end of the house movies were buffering and was getting about 10mbps, ((I kid you not)) so I got home and I couldn't believe it. They put in their extenders and NOW I'm running on wireless 150mbps, and the techs exact words were, "I'm sorry I do not about the other side of your house. It is like a porthole, we can get nothing", it NOW it's worse than before, and now I'm buffering in my main point of the house for my webinars on Saturday morning. Needless to say, I'm getting frustrated, as I am sure you the reader are getting that way as well just reading this.

    So I call them from work telling their customer service this isn't working too well so they give me a credit. So far now I have over 100.00 in credits, but the thing is I do not want credits. I just want what we agreed upon. So I invest about 30 min going over my concerns and Matt assures me this will be the final time (I liked Matt but Matt didn't run this company) and again we see Metronet showing how they appreciate a customer, scheduling a appointment between 8-12, gets there right at 8, came in, looked at everything, tried to give me the runaround about how wi-fi is not guaranteed, went over to look in my room, and said, "We will need to drill, and that will be 85.00".

    I almost at that time threw him out of the house but continued to reason with him considering all the drama they have put us through, he said, "You know you are making a good point. Let me call my supervisor", he went out in the truck. I left for work, and when I get home I hear the guy said the supervisor said he will call us, nothing done with the wires, the bedroom, or the overall speed. 4 days later NO ONE called..

    I called the savvy team of specialist at Metronet to hear apologies, and let's schedule a technician out there, I cannot believe this but to follow suit metro sets the appointment, I stayed home from work to meet a 12-5 apt, 4 oclock no one there so I decided to call them, dispatcher tell tech they will call back. Finally I get a call from Coy, dispatch at Metronet. This man had no idea who he is dealing with and tried to play the psychological card on me, this is where I started to lose my cool, he was telling me that they would not be out till about 6:30, in so many words I said this is unacceptable. Told him I would expect to see them here and he hung up. I do admit I said, **, and goddamn, but at this time I am getting really mad and feel now they do not care about my business, so he just hung up.

    6:30 passes. I call metro net at 7:pm. I get this snowflake telling me it's just him and Rhonda taking calls in the call centre in Paduka KY, ((are you kidding me?)) 2 people taking calls. So before I managed to hang up with this snowflake (I forgot his name) he reads me everything. The dispatcher COY said, "Wow Coy is a liar." He said I told him **, which is a lie, because we NEVER make things personal, it's just business. The reason metro sucks is that they cannot handle the calls. They are understaffed, DO NOT USE this company, you will be no different, They lie.

    Updated on 10/03/2019: Following up on a recent review for MetroNet service being intermittent and not being able to get a service tech out for over 3 months. They ensured me that the tech would be out between 4 and 7 today to fix my service. Again I want to clarify that when my internet works it’s fast but that’s only when it works. 7 came along and no tech. Called the 1877 number and they said the tech was just finishing up another job and he came at 8pm. Here’s where things go horribly wrong.

    We literally just got new carpet today and I asked for him to take his shoes off. Instead he wore shoes covers which isn’t a big deal but I’m the customer and you should take your shoes off when asked to. Spent about half an hour and said there was a fracture in the line and that the box looked like it was jammed into the holder which may have caused the break in the line. He then got up and started to walk out while saying, "You are good to go. Have a good night". We thanked him and then looked at where he was working and boom grease stain from his tools laying on the new carpet. MetroNet did say they will resolve the issue tomorrow but I would ask for your tech (if they ever come) to lay his bag and tools on a towel and not the floor. Left this review trying to be as calm as possible and inform customers so they don’t have to go through what we are going through.

    Original review: Trying my hardest to give them more than 1 star at this point. I will say this, most people I talk to say they have had stellar service with MetroNet. I on the other hand have not had much of any service. Our service is typically out half the day and then will just randomly come back on. I. e. contacted the home office where we live and have said they will send someone out and they never did. We have cameras and I’ve checked for when they said they came out and nobody showed up. I set up an appointment for tomorrow from the corporate line and they ensured me they would come out to see what’s going on.

    We have had the service for 4-5 months and it seems to go out every day after the first week of having it. When it does work it’s fast at sending large files but that doesn’t make up for not being able to connect when it’s most important to. I would honestly give 4 stars for how fast it is but always getting the run around and it never working has been more of a hassle than anything. Be cautious and I recommend working with the 1-800 number over your local dealer. Good luck and I hope you have better luck than I did.

    We have had nothing but issues with Metronet since day one. Every single phone call into customer service resulted in constant blaming of others and saying, "I’m not sure why this was done this way." Not a single, "I am sorry." Let’s start from the beginning. Called to see about getting should have been our first clue to run away. The representative didn’t tell us the whole truth about how the installation will work and said someone would be out on our scheduled date. Scheduled date arrives and the technician was late. Technician stated that customer service is new and they don’t always tell the correct information to the customers. I call ** just another way to pass the buck off on someone else.

    Technician arrives and tells me they don’t have a way to run the service to my house due to where the main connector box’s sits and sat in my driveway for over an hr trying to convince his boss this was a no go job at the same time I called customer service. Customer service stated that until a supervisor makes a decision on the job ticket she can’t allow me to speak to a supervisor. Strike 2. Technician gets told to do the job and he says he has to a block and half away to run the line down my street because my street isn’t active with a main connection box which is funny because they’ve been running lines for the past two months and my neighbors right next door to me have it.

    So about 3 hrs later technician comes back and says the main road is way too busy for him to run a line a across the street and it’s too dangerous and he’s waiting on his supervisor to kill my work ticket so he can go home. It’s 4:00pm by then. He arrived at 10:00am. He’s fighting with dispatch to reschedule me. They tell him no another technician shows up does the install no problem but it doesn’t stop there. They don’t connect it properly actually did a half ** quick connection from the pole in my neighbors yard that the slightest bit of wind would break the line so not kidding 10 mins after they leave the line breaks and we don’t have Internet.

    Took us 2 hrs to get connected with customer service who said, "We will send a technician out ASAP." No one showed up. Next morning call customer service again. They say, "We will have someone out at 9:00 am." Technician showed up at 10:30 and mentioned they don’t leave their took yard until 9:00 am and customer service is always doing this. I work customer service. They are getting this information from someone. This tech said it was installed shady and says, "I fixed it." The only left is for them to bury the line in my yard. To date, 4 technicians have come out to bury the line and every ** time they step foot on my property they leave and make up some dumb ** excuse as to why they can’t bury the line. One guy never even got out of his car. We’ve got cameras. Customer service isn’t any help at all.

    Supposedly today a supervisor was sent to do the job. Yep he showed up, walked to the back yard, waited till 5:00pm and went home. Oh to add last night they said after they came out and didn’t do a thing the supervisor will be out at 8:00pm tonight to do the digging. He was a no show. Took 3 ** phone calls today to get a someone will be there tomorrow speech. Well randomly a technician is here now at 8:25 pm and he’s been rude as hell and pissed Off at us because if someone would have done the damn job right in the first place we wouldn’t be dealing with them a month and half after we asked for service. I can’t say this enough. Stay far far away - it’s been a complete nightmare dealing with them and their customer service is extremely lacking!!

    Called MetroNet to install fiber internet at my house. Technician came to my house on Thursday, July 25. Looked around for a few minutes then decided that he couldn't do it because of where the service pole was located. Called someone (?) And talked for a long time. Then he told me they would have to bury the line to get it to my house and someone would be back first thing Saturday morning to install. Two minutes after he left MetroNet called me and informed that they were going to be there sometime Saturday afternoon. I asked what happened to the first thing in the morning appointment, and they told me they couldn't possibly do that. I was less than friendly and asked to speak to a manager and asked who in our town authorizes their work so that I could Lodge a complaint with them. Miraculously, they were able to get me in Saturday morning.

    When the technician arrived then, he had no idea about the line that would need to be buried or any of the other details of the installation. He looked around then went to his truck and called someone (?). He eventually suggested running the line above ground and having a crew come back and bury it later. Part of the line goes through my neighbor's yard, so I had his permission to do this. Several hours later the line was attached, modem working, all good.

    The line was "buried" the following Thursday. Shortly after this, my neighbor approached me and showed me a 4 ft section of line above the ground in his yard near the pole. He was worried about accidentally damaging it and concerned because we were both told the line would be completely buried. I called on Sunday, August 4 and explained the problem, also mentioning that the line was pulled so tight any attempt to move it would most likely damage the line. They said they understood and would address the matter. I guess they did because it's now Wednesday, I think they came back out to bury the line, and now my internet doesn't work.

    I called customer service and was given a fairy tale about resetting the modem (which is not connected to their Network quite obviously). He then told me I'd have to wait until at least tomorrow night to get someone out to repair it. I contacted customer service again and gave the. A choice: get someone out to fix this tonight, it I will get Comcast to come out and install tonight. I also asked for my first bill (which we paid today) to be refunded until the service is restored. Miraculously, they were able to get someone out today. No customer should have to fight and give ultimatums in order to get decent service. Just be advised as to what you are getting yourself into with this company.

    Good evening, I am writing in to share my recent and ongoing experience with Metronet. I have been a loyal customer, almost since you entered the Lafayette market years ago. I called into the local office last Monday to transfer my service to my new address **. I was given a couple of options for install times and decided to have this done on Saturday between 12-5.

    I was in the middle of moving, so I asked for the tech to call ahead of time. I should mention that I use my internet service to do my job, so if I am out of service, I am not earning a living. The tech called and arrived at 3pm. He was at my house for nearly 2 and a half hours. He spent an hour on hold with TTU before being told that the “work order” hadn’t been built out and that he couldn’t complete the job that day. His name was Hank, from the Franklin area. He doesn’t get paid and I waste 2.5 hours of my day. I call into customer service and talk to Chastity who confirms that the provisioning hasn’t been completed, but there is no one to do that until Monday. I request a call Monday morning from a supervisor to get the provisioning complete and a new install scheduled.

    At 10:30am Monday I went to our local office, Bri asks if she can help me and I explain the situation. She says her supervisor is in a meeting and Chastity won’t be in until later so there is nothing she can do to help. At which point I sit down and tell her I am not leaving until someone can help me. 10-15 mins later she informs me that the terminal is full and there is going to be a 30 day wait to have augmentation done, something she has only seen happen once in the time she has been there. She says it is probably a good idea for me to think about getting service with someone else.

    I called Hank and asked if their terminal was full, he says, "No, you are plugged into port 10 with 3 empty ports around you." I request a tech be dispatched to finish the install and they agree to send someone that afternoon between 12-5. They tell me they will send someone and if there is light they will activate the service, if there isn’t there is nothing they can do (notice a trend). There goes another hour of my day. At 4:45pm I still haven’t got a call so I go back to the office. Bri says I am still on the schedule but that she can’t give me any time they will be there. I finally get through to customer service (I’ve been on hold for 20 min) and they confirm with dispatch that the tech will be there around 5:30. 30 more minutes.

    At 5:45 the tech calls and says he is on his way. Kevin arrives and tells me that the lack of a PON light indicates there is no light and he likely won’t be able to help me. He troubleshoots and after 30 mins discovers that the 12 port terminal has 4 dead ports and there is no way he can help. I call customer service and wait on hold for 15 minutes while Kevin calls TTU to get a person to help him.

    Rhonda informs me there is again nothing she can do (still a trend), I ask to speak to a supervisor, remember one was supposed to call me this morning. I get on the phone with Jerry and he again tells me there is nothing he can do. He then tells me that he has been working on this all day and it has taken him away from his other duties, guess what, so have I and I’m not getting paid for it. In point of fact I’m paying you! It’s day 3, I have no internet, I have been told it may be days or even a month to fix it, at no point has anyone ever apologized or offer to credit my account for the service I am paying for and don’t have. Jerry told me he would credit my account if I asked him to. So frustrated!

    Wow! Finally I've got an outstanding customer service from both the call center and on site technician. We've signed up for a 1Gig speed under promotion for the first 2 years, but after promotion period was over we noticed our bill go up, as expected, however, we also noticed that our internet is not fast either. I knew that there is some speed drop due to wireless transmission and how far the devices are from router, but everything was getting around 250 Mb or so when we tested it at first right after the install, and we were fine with that, but it wasn't a case recently (1.5 year later). So, after contacting customer support via email, MetroNet people responded very promptly and politely. After few emails back and forth we've scheduled a tech to come out to see why are we not getting what we pay for.

    Tech was knowledgeable and of good manners, pleasure to work with. He suggested we drop our speed to 500Mb service and use the savings to install their mesh system (signal amplifiers at around $7 per month) to bust the signal in far corners of the house. Boy, I am so pleased with how it's all working around our house now. We went further and actually dropped to 200Mb service, since this is really plenty of speed as long as it's consistent. And we do get speed very close to 200Mb almost everywhere in our house wireless. Please keep the plank up just as you've set it!

Installer showed up and said he could not install as we didn't have have permission from the Homeowners Assoc. Told the guy they have me installing in our neighborhood all week and the assoc. had not advised us nor did MetroNet that we needed a sign off. No paper no install. We addressed the issue and install was then scheduled on May 4th. Installer came in. Installed the service. Thought we were golden. 3 TV'S and internet installed. The very next day 2 TV could get the signal. Called the help desk. They could not help. Will have to send out a Tech, who could not be here until Tuesday of the next week.

    We are now 2 MONTHS since our install and out of 8 weeks we have only had two weeks when all 3 TV's had a signal at the same time and all 3 TV's could be on at the same time. MetroNet has changed all of the equipment at least 3 times with no results. Yesterday was the first time that someone from MetroNet actually said to me, "We believe that the problem is at our hub somewhere," which I have been saying for weeks. But they don't know what the issue is or how to fix it. Don't get me wrong. Customer service has been great, the Technical support guy's nice, but no one knows how to fix the issue!!!! Leaving Comcast high prices and lack of customer service sounded great but now not so sure that I should of left cause with them at least we all could watch our own programs at the same time and not wonder which TV was not going to get the signal.

What should have been a minor adjustment to my current services turned out to be a nightmare. Every other day it seemed that my remote TV boxes were inoperable. Of course, that meant me spending enormous amount of time on the phone with a tech rep to get my boxes up and running. And though they boast about the clarity of fiber optics, I could not tell the difference between regular cable or internet speed. Whenever I tried to use my pc, I found myself always waiting for a page to be loaded. As for me, the verdict is still out on which is better: cable vs fiber optics. Until fiber optics can prove they're better than conventional cable, I'll stay with cable.

    When the salesperson first contacted us, we were quite excited about the prospect of getting a fiber optic internet connection since our current ISP was rather slow and unreliable. When it was initially connected the service was incredibly fast, based both on our experience and using the SpeedTest app on our phone. However, with time it has slowed to a crawl to the point where I cannot use it to do online banking since the connection frequently times out when I am using it.

    I talked to the service technician who suggested a number of possible solutions, most involved cleaning out the cache and other items on my computer. However, it doesn't matter which device I use and my laptop works fine when I use it at work to make the same connection. I've also used the AT&T fiber optic network in TN and that works flawlessly. I don't know if this poor service is due to the fact that they are still working on the installation of the network or because of the service being oversubscribed. I will hang on a little longer, but if things don't improve I will be going back to my old ISP.

    Well, to start, I’d have to say that they would have had to be really horrible to beat my experience with AT&T after getting dial up speeds for a year from them. Anywho, we’ve had a few problems since we got service but several of those problems were easily solved when John ** came out to save people and hunt things (like WiFi problems???? If you don’t get it you’re not meant to). He was great! We have had very few problems since the second time he came (the first time he tried a new router and we gave that a shot before calling back). Since he recommended hardwiring our tv to the router and deleting our non 5g networks off our phones we hadn’t had any more issues until this past week.

    The last week it has been a new issue where I’ll be reading an article on my phone or playing a game and signal will just disappear. It drops completely out and then comes back a couple minutes later. So I called them again Tuesday. Pretty much as soon as I called the issue “seemed” to disappear (we’ll see if it happens again anytime soon) but I received a message from Amanda that she had issued us a credit for the issues we’ve been having! Our old company would never have done that! And we literally got DIAL UP speeds!!! So thank you MetroNet! For putting the customer first! Please keep up the good work!

    Wow, where do I start! STAY AWAY from MetroNet! MetroNet mailed me a flyer, so I went online yesterday 5/2/19 to check service availability at our address and was happy to see that our address was available for service. Just to be sure, I called their customer service line to make sure service was available and it was again confirmed. So I signed up and the lady who took my order was very friendly (of course they usually are on the sales side) and she was able to get us scheduled for the install this morning. The install tech showed up on time and was very friendly, but after walking our driveway and down our street a long way, he came back and said "I have good news and bad news".

    He said the good news is that they can definitely get us service, but the bad news it they will have to send out an engineering survey person this afternoon 5/3/19 between noon and 5 pm to look things over to see what will be needed, then do the install next week. As I was talking to the install tech, someone from MetroNet's engineering department called me and told me the same thing, confirmed the time slot of noon to 5 pm this afternoon, stated I would get a call in advance of their arrival. Before the install tech left, we went over our entire house to figure out the best way for the fiber to enter our home.

    Long story short - I should have read the MetroNet reviews prior to wasting my entire day on this company. The engineering tech never showed up, never called, NOTHING! Finally around 6:30 pm I called their customer service to ask why no one showed up. After being on hold for nearly 15 minutes, the customer service lady came back on the line and told me that our address is not available for service because they would need to install too much fiber line and it would be too expensive. Poor MetroNet! Proportionately, they probably cost me more in wasted time today than their cost to run the fiber line.

    The install tech told me they needed more than the 2,500' of fiber line he had on his truck. Over 2,000' of the total amount needed was out on the right-of-way of our road and had nothing to do with the distance of our home from our road. I understand the economics of business, but if it was really about the cost, why did the install tech say he only had 2,500' of cable? He seemed more than willing to use that amount if it would have meant getting us service today.

    What I don't understand is wasting a new customer's entire day and not even giving us the professional courtesy of a phone call to say they were not coming and were unable to provide us service. Heck, I would have even offered to help out with some of the upfront costs if they had communicated with me. Then there is the issue of MetroNet stating our address could be serviced, then saying it could not. BEWARE OF METRONET - THEY DO NO HAVE THEIR ACT TOGETHER!

    MetroNet is a new and growing company that continues to struggle with the technology. Two to three times a month, our TV loses its signal. We've had problems with the cable nodes outside and that always takes a few days to fix. A brand new cable-box went out and had to be replaced, another two days. After midnight, some nights, the TV loses signal and miraculously comes on before 6AM. Hmmm, are they shutting it off during non peak hours?

    Next comes the billing. We pay by autopay and this month, MetroNet reported my bank account closed. After talking with bank people, a transaction was never attempted on my account. I talk with billing at MetroNet, they have no idea what is happening. I called and after hours of talking with technical folks, it appears MetroNet has a glitch with their software in submitting my transactions, even though it has worked prior to this month. All in all, Comcast has fewer problems all the way around. But Comcast finds ways to escalate your bill. You start at $98 a month and a year later, you'll be paying more than $170 a month with the same services. MetroNet at least maintains you monthly cost. So if you can put up with poor service and like the cost, go MetroNet. If you can afford more per month, go Comcast.

I paid for a static IP address that took over a week to get running because it was not "provisioned" correctly. After a few weeks, I checked my internet speed and found it averaging 60MB with occasional 100MB speed. All fine and dandy but the promotion I signed up for was 200MB speed. I called support and they ran tests and had me reboot, which I had done previously before calling, and they said they would have to send a tech out.

    The day before the tech showed up, the entire service went down. Supposedly a cut in the line. The tech shows up clearly acting like a puppet and had no technical skills. His repeated response was "I have to do what support tells me to do." Guess what? I can't check my speed because service is still down and they rolled a tech on a call for 1 item but couldn't complete due to the second issue of no service at all. After receiving the bill, I called up to complain again about speed but they said I am on the plan I signed up for which was 100MB. I said, "No, the plan I signed up for was a promotion for 200mb."

They may not be violating the noise ordinance (greater than 64 decibels by the way) now, but I can still hear the most irritating motors/fans going off, even with my windows closed. It ruined my spring, summer and fall last year and I have to figure out a way to cope with the permanent effect on my environment that used to be so peaceful. I will continue to tell anyone who will listen that MetroNet has a lousy way of getting the community to like them. I hope their business fails. I'm a 15 yr Comcast customer with zero complaints!!

    I'd give 0 stars if I could. They had our business listed 3 consecutive years incorrectly in the phone book. They attempt to blame the publisher but after many calls to the publisher I learned it is the service provider. Being a business that deals with seniors we have no idea how this repeated mistake cost us. I tried each year to get it changed with no success. They gave us 1 month free service. Big deal! We were under a 3 year contract. I emailed the higher up with my concerns, no response at all. Today I tried to get tech support to guide me on getting the internet working when it went down, no help whatsoever. When I say no help I mean NO HELP.

    We use the internet at our business and their lack of concern, was something I've never dealt with in 11 years in business, nor in my home providers. Our contract ends in 2 weeks at which time I will cancel service. If you can't get the help you need with customer service what are you suppose to do? I'd recommend to anyone looking for a company who makes a customer feel like they matter, look elsewhere. Can't wait to call them and cancel!! My story is 100% true, I do not give reviews but I felt I needed to warn anyone looking at this company, be prepared for a nightmare if you ever need assistance.

    So here is my rant from day 1 with the install to last day when I had enough. Day 1 they showed up and were clueless where their own hookup box was located. Last time I checked they were the ones who ran all the fiber and installed ALL the hookup locations. After they finally got it figured out my gig service was running about 230 MBS. Literally was told by install guy that may be all I get. Basically had to threaten him he would be living with me until he got it right. Almost 6 hours later finally wrapped it up.

    I left Comcast after 15 years to get "better" speed at a more affordable price. Well like the cliche' goes... The grass isnt always greener on the other side. I had major problems with WiFi stability, and I used my own router (Asus 3100). Which btw performed WAYYYYY better than the router they give you and I still had these issues. Tons of buffering issues and pixelated screens. All this was with 1 GB service. I NEVER had those issues with Comcast with 25mbs, or 75mbs 300mb speeds. Customer service is a joke and they play the robotic script they were handed in orientation and will not wavier from it. Joke of a service and double joke of a company. If at all possible run Forest run from anything MetroNet has anything to do with.

    There are only so many choices for internet services, big players being Xfinity, AT&T, MetroNet etc. Metronet and Xfinity are the only ones that offer a capacity higher than 20 mbs, let alone fiber cable. Xfinity has ridiculous pricing. I had AT&T for every service you can imagine for years and they are no different re: frustrating customer service, constant internet drops and any other typical problems - same experience with Comcast. For a year, while Metronet was laying the cable throughout the area, I watched a few people jump to sign up. The growing pains of Metronet were felt by all. I was not looking forward to making a change and the disruption that it would cause since I mostly work from home, so I waited. I've had Metronet for 3 mos now. The difference Metronet brings is (1) the pricing for what you get, namely the deals they have for phone, internet and cable for the 1-2 yrs.

    (2) The speed and capacity alone for internet is worth it. When you have 3 people who stream data at once, you would otherwise feel the difference if you didn't have enough capacity. Xbox Live alone eats a ton, add YouTube or some other streaming and all hell breaks loose. (3) The installers that came out (2 of 3 - I added second line and needed a router placement change) were really great and accommodating. They were very knowledgeable and explained the connections to me and what was necessary and what was not. An inspector came out to see the work a few days later. Even the guy who buried the line was considerate of the invisible fence and coordinated with me to be home so I could show him so he didn't cut the line. I have the porthole in my yard, and offered a suggestion regarding leaving notice of an invisible fence near it so when others came out to connect Metronet they would know.

    (4) The technology helpline typically has a seasoned person (unlike AT&T) and although I am not a stranger to tech terms, I am also no pro at resolving issues beyond my ability. All of these points were not something AT&T or Comcast/Xfinity ever gave a hoot about. In the 3 mos. I've had Metronet, they are much better than when it all first started. I suspect from the review complaints mostly coming from Indiana, that they are experiencing the growing pains right now. To me, it was worth the wait. The only downside is that I noticed I do still get dropped from wi-fi from time to time. That is critical when you lose VPN connection from losing internet, while working.

    I watch my VPN try to re-establish connection multiple times in one day in some instances (my laptop notifies me). I haven't yet addressed the drops with Metronet, but not sure the answer will suffice since it more than likely is an issue of others getting established. The other downside is the router, which I have one of the better ones they offer, but it still isn't perfect in reaching everywhere. My son complains the most about being dropped from wi-fi. I have yet to explore the options in my home before I take that to Metronet. I don't see how the wi-fi isn't reaching the far corners of the house, but could be OR could be my 13 yr old son. At any rate, Metronet is great for the last 3 mos in comparison. I will give it a year to see how it goes.

    We got a new remote for our LG Smart TV and followed the instructions on the back of the remote as instructed. We successfully set up the on/off button and the Guide button but could not get the Channel changer, audio button and numeric buttons for channels to work. Our 36 year old son tried too and even talked to tech support with no success.

    Tech support, Kristina, called back 5 hours later to see if the remote was working properly and when we informed her that it was not they said to "click the ST button, turn around, turn back to the TV and click the Guide button. And if that did not work it was a bad remote." My husband and I were not amused. Of course it was the remote. We went and got a new one and the setup went perfectly. We think the Tech Support department needs training on respect for their customers.

    Horrible company. We do not and will never have their service but we unfortunately have one of their boxes in our yard. They are pests. We have pests and have had to let them in our yard about 30 times in the past year since it has been put in. Last summer they destroyed our gate and were told about it but nothing. Once again today here they come again wanting back in. I had some small branches piled up behind box but not in the way and he picked one up and threw it and the others he kept kicking until they were strung out everywhere. Took lid off box looked at it and left. Left gate open. We locked gate back he was gone for quite awhile and when he returned he jumped fence. These people do whatever they want. They need to start making an appointment. And how professional is it to go into someone's yard and just start kicking stuff around.

    The service of the company is poor at best. I have nothing but problems, I thought they might have improved over the last few years is why I had it reconnected. The service and connection has never improved. Now I got my first bill. So much for being blindsided. It was not 60 as I was told. It was 292. That's a big difference. So as far as this company goes I would never recommend it to anyone. If not resolved by today it will be the end of MetroNet only after a month. I see it as a waste of time and money.

    Could care less if their service is any good! Metronet came to install new cable service in our area and succeeded in pissing off the entire subdivision. They damaged my fence which has yet to be repaired (over a month) and have not repaired the damage to the yard from where they dug the hole. Also left track marks in the yard from the mini front end loader. After damaging the fence they made zero effort to contact me as I had to contact them. Would have been impossible for the operators to NOT have known they damaged the fence. Made all kinds of promises that damaged would be fixed but yet never returned. Installed cable towers in horrible spots in neighbors yards and had to argue with them to have them moved. Horrible company. Cannot believe the village would even approve this company. A simple internet search shows they are horrible. Stay away.

Once you sign contract with them you are stuck and but rate you sign can vary. That does not mean that rate you sign for service will remain same during your contract period. Nothing wrong with their services. Do not sign any contract with them.

    My cable went out Thursday afternoon & they said they would try to have someone out that night. Friday morning a tech called, said he would be out at 3. He did not show so I called customer service at 4 then again at 6. Thankfully I got the same customer support representative. When she called the tech, he said that he had called & came by & got no response from me. She knew this was not true because I was obviously at home waiting for him. He then said he was still at the same job & would come by after he was finished (which he did not). Saturday afternoon at 2:13 is when I finally heard from him again, saying he would be by soon. He got to my house at 2:55, almost 24 hours late, and was gone by 3:30. All I needed was a new box. He spent more time on the phone on hold with Metronet (about 20 minutes) than anything else while at my house.

    Yo bro channel selection was very good and I was very satisfied with it. It offered most of the premium channels that were available to the local cable provider. The cable service was very reliable and I had very few outages when using it. Overall I was very satisfied with it and recommended totally to the consumer provided it's available in your area. I was happy with the overall value however I felt that the channel selection could have been a little bit greater compared to the money that it was costing me to have. The overall customer support was exceptional even though I really had to use it. The few times I did have to use it I was provided great service and any issues were quickly resolved.
