    We didn't choose Frontier, we were long time Verizon customers and Verizon sold all their accounts to Frontier. We decided to give them a chance. What we have experienced since then is 3 years of overpriced products that did nothing but increase every 6 months to a year. After hours on the phone with them every time it would increase, they sometimes gave small loyalty credits ($15 off the bill), but they didn't last but a couple of months. The issue is their equipment. They require set top boxes (STBs) for TV to work, each one is $15/month. Adapters are $8. We had no premium channels, just a normal line-up and Internet 50/50. Our bill was over $200 a month. Over the years we've paid for this equipment many times over, but all through renting it.

    When we were finally able to cut the cord and cancel with Frontier they inflicted 3 more parting surprises on us.

    1) We dropped the service 7 days into the month, but we have to pay clear to the end of the month (and she thought this was fine simply because we were made aware of it...I told her that doesn't make it right).

    2) Early termination fee. To get a 'better' deal, we were stupid enough to get a 2 year contract. So we are only 1 1/3 years into that contract and will be paying a hefty early termination fee.

    3) Rather than them picking up all their equipment, they require us to box it up and bring it into a UPS store to send back to them (they provide the box and shipping label/fee). But it's a hassle to their customers.

    But Frontier doesn't care about their customers. They have found every way to rip them off and apply all of them to all customers except new customers. They offer great deals to new customers and come out to the house to hook it all up. Don't be fooled, that is the last time you will see decent prices and decent customer service. Do yourselves a favor and just stay far away from Frontier - horrible company!!!

    I used Frontier internet for 4 months and will never ever go back to that company. In those 4 months of service I must have spent at least 15 hours of my time on call with them. There were technical problems, billing problems, customer service misses for which I had to pay them, etc. I will cover the billing aspect here: I needed to move back to India on 20th Feb and I called Frontier around 30 days before that to disconnect my services on 6th Feb so that I can go on a 2 week vacation before I leave. They took my request to discontinue and told me it will close on 6th. I then called them again towards the end of January to ask them of how I could return the router to them to which they replied that they will send me a prepaid box that I could use to ship the equipment.

    I was very happy with how things were going and thought they have a really sophisticated system in place. I called them on 14th Feb from my vacations that I hadn’t received (at my friend’s address that I gave them) any box. They then told me that my services were still on and they will be disconnected on 27th February, 7 days after my moving back to India. I was speechless in that moment. I reminded them that I had stopped using the services on 6th and the previous representative had taken my request to close it on the 6th and had assured me that they are scheduled for termination on 6th and that I could expect the box within a week after that.

    Their reply was, “Sir, It will close at the end of this cycle which is 27th.” I told them that I will be long gone before 27th and that I needed it closed right then. They again took my request and said it will be done. I am writing this review on 6th March from India. After having paid for a whole month of service because apparently they have in their fine print that if you exceed even an hour of service in the billing cycle, you have to pay for whole 30 days period. PAID!! I paid what they asked me to and asked them again for the box. They took a new request more than 2 weeks back but my friend is yet to receive the box. Now the best part: For the box that they’re not sending to my friend, they keep adding $10 bucks to my billing account every month. It almost feels like someone is extorting money from me for my crime of doing business with them. TRAPPED!!

    My wife and I live in rural Southern Ohio and have Frontier Communications as our home landline telephone provider. We occasionally have disrupted service due to weather, trees falling on phone lines and other problems common to rural areas. Recently some trees fell on power and phone lines due to rain, freeze, ice and falling trees in that order. Our phone was down as a result. We immediately reported it and told them we have an elderly mother residing with us who has oxygen prescribed and several critical medical issues for which we need phone service. We told them we have no cell service at our residence. We have to drive 5-10 miles to get a good phone reception signal. We were told we would be put on "Expedited service".

    Eventually, after 4 days with no service several neighbors got phone service restored. We did not, after about 6 days all had service but us. None of them to my knowledge had any medical issues at their homes and none were on "expedited service". We called Frontier daily and were given times the service people would arrive. I stayed home each time and no one ever showed up.

    Finally I called again, and again reported our problem. I even told them we have no cell reception at our home, when they asked for our cell number. This time I asked them to email everything about these appointment times so that I could print them out and use them in my public utilities complaint. They sent out a Repairman the next morning who "fixed" the problem in about 5 minutes. He reported a wire was not connected about 3,000 feet down the road from our home. When he left we had dial tone and much static, fax-like noises, and other distracting noises in the background and calls would drop during conversation. The phone would be dead for hours at a time and then days at a time.

    This is now one month into the problem and I cannot get through to them without waiting an hour on hold and the usual run-a-round. They tell me the problem must be in my home and they can send out a repairman for that very quickly. They tell you that you have to pay for these service calls. Some of my neighbors are having the same problems so I know it is not an internal issue. It seems they have few, or no, service repair employees.

    Frontier is without doubt the crappiest phone company I have ever dealt with. As luck would have it, I was going to call them again when I got on my computer and received an email from them asking me to complete a "consumer satisfaction survey" regarding our most recent problem with our phone disruption. I gave a very accurate and not very nice survey response and feel that maybe my current problems are the result of that. I will never use FRONTIER again once I get connected to another provider. I will get a real phone company to provide service instead.

    STAY AWAY FROM FRONTIER AT ALL COSTS - IF YOU CAN! I was a LONG time customer and continually complained that we did not have internet - only to be told it was we had "old" equipment at the polls - and were NOT due for an upgrade? It was never resolved and ONCE they even gave us a TOKEN $14 credit...REALLY??? - considering our monthly bill with Frontier ran about $250, which totaled over $45,000+ during the abt. 15 years we had service, that one would think they could spare a little more.

    Also, when it was time for us to move, apparently I did not read the FINE print well enough (actually it is ONLY online - so if you do not use the internet you are not privy to this info - or at least that is what the representative told me on the phone) - because when we called to cancel our services we were NOT informed that we would have to pay the ENTIRE month - even though the service ran from the 5th of the month to the 6th of the following and we called on the 13th - that would be approximately 8 days vs abt. 30 days... I paid the bill of $248 for service that I NEVER RECEIVED AND DID NOT USE - only because I did not want a bad credit mark...

    In December 2017, Frontier Communications customer service got my wife on the phone. Somehow on the phone call they claim that she requested to change our service from Internet only to the Cadillac of service " Homerun Package" which included High speed internet, home phone, Cable TV with all pay channels like HBO etc, DVR and connections for 3 TV's. We already had Internet from Frontier, and TV from Dish Network. Fast forward to April 30th, 2017, while I'm paying bills I noticed our bill went from $40.00 a month to $219.00! Boy was I surprised.

    Here we are now in March 2019, a whole 14 months after this fiasco began. I still don't have my bill corrected. My internet service has been interrupted, and I spent 4 hours on the phone today with no avail. Frontier insisted that I pay $270.00 to restore my internet service. We overpaid our bill for 5 months last year and we're owed $691.00 in credit based on the math from Frontier. I've had my services interrupted at least 6 times in the 14 month mishap and I've spent countless lost hours on the phone trying to correct this mess.

    Frontier's customer service, has got to be the worst service I've ever experienced in my life. You can't understand most customer service representatives, and they're from the USA. They are rude, interrupt you when your schedule and either leave you on hold for hours or hang up on you. Ask for a supervisor and that's a act of Congress. You're promised things, given ticket numbers and then when you call back there's no record of your conversation or open ticket #. Today, after my service was interrupted again, and spending 4+ hours on the phone, I took action.

    I emailed the President of Frontier Communications. I left a voice message for the President of Frontier Communications. I filed a formal complaint with the federal FCC. This department monitors companies like Frontier, Sprint etc. I filed a BBB complaint with the BBB in New York, where Frontier is based. I called and actually spoke to my state Senator about my issue. He promised to look into my problem in 48 hrs if not rectified by Frontier. I called my local LA news, 3 stations. I received 2 callbacks already. My goal is to resolve my issue and possibly help others in the same or similar situation. Word to the wise, NEVER GET TV, INTERNET OR PHONE FROM FRONTIER.

    I signed on years ago coming from Time Warner, Time Warner charged at the end of the month for the previous month, simple just like everything else in the world. When I signed up for this I had to pay upfront on day one for the install and remaining days in the month plus the next month. I thought this was weird but was told "it's a pay in advance thing". Ok no sweat, got a competing offer from Spectrum (used to be Time Warner) these years later that they (Frontier) could not match, I asked them to verify I was paid up until what date? Used said date (the 28th of any month in my case) and had Spectrum installed 3 days before that date and canceled service. Got the, "Sorry to see you go, did we try to give you a similar deal?" "No, you couldn't match it." "Well, we're sorry we couldn't match it! Here is your cancellation number." It's ** and I asked I was paid up until the 28th. Yes. So no further charges? Yes.

    About 2 weeks later get a bill for about 10 dollars more than all the previous bills $177.96, thought well that's weird, they charged me for another month. $168.10 before. $170.00 now and some extra video fee and taxes. So I tried calling, no dice, Got "our next available associate will be with you" for over 30 minutes so I decided to use chat. Chatted with customer service, got the, "Well the last payment was for the month before", gave them a link to their own website citing you pay in advance, Said that was wrong. Sent a Google search to the link plus their link. Asked if they read it? Yes, So why am I being charged again? My billing is for the month prior (WHAT?).

    Long story short, I was threatened with collections if I don't pay, asked them to look at my connection date, no dice, they will not go back more than 1 year, what? So I'm the only person that remembers paying for a month and a half plus installation (waived with a 1-year contract that expired years ago) and paying (in advance see) for every month thereafter, and then at the end double charge me. WHAT!

    I verified on my end the total number of service months and the total number of payments were the same (plus the pesky 13 extra days on the first bill for the half month). Why charge me for another? Right to "Well you owe this" "if you don't pay we will send it to collections." I hope they are audited and subsequently sued. I imagine one day I'll get my money back (without an apology, of course), and whatever buying power it had gone for that time they were borrowing it without permission, Until then I, and You (if you're reading this) are screwed.

    I am writing a review for Frontier Communication, I contacted them about service for my home and have had nothing but problems with them everything from they did not tell me that you need a phone landline for it to work. Also since I didn't have a landline the Tv receivers operate on wifi with did not work properly. So finally I got fed up with it and decided to cancel the service. I was told I had to pay a full month ahead and the final bill would be $9.99 plus tax.

    When the bill came there was a 178.00 charge for early termination fee for a Amazon card I never received or wanted or never was told about, and now they are saying I am under contract when I was told I was not under contract after they raised my monthly bill. I read where they are advertising a no contract and and no cancelation fee. I would not recommend Frontier to anyone.

    I set-up Frontier Communications for my new business because they are the only ISP in the area. Went to their page and saw that they have a promotion going on for $19.99/month for their business internet service. I went to call and placed an order and informed the sales rep that I have a modem/router that I purchased as part of my purchase agreement from the previous owner. She said that would be okay and I do not have to lease the equipment. My first bill came and I was charged the $19.99 for the service + $10.00 for the router lease + $3.99 for Business High Speed Internet Fee + Frontier Secure Business Pro Bundle for $25.99.

    My initial conversation was quoted at $19.99 plus taxes and fees, which should be about $25/month. So, seems like, to get that price, I have to lease a router for $10/month and pay their internet fee for an additional $3.99, and they're bumping that fee up to $5.99 at the end of the month. I really hate this. Never had issues with Spectrum and AT&T when it comes to pricing.

    My 86 year old mother went 2 1/2 months with no phone service, it finally took going to Twitter to get it fixed. I have tried for a week to cancel my landline. I have been on hold for over an hr, then get passed to another department for another 30 minute wait time to then be told someone will contact me, never happened. If you want to order you will get connected. Sales are important, customer service with issues are not. It seems Frontier's customer retention policy is don’t connect with customers who have an issue or want to cancel, terrible service.

    I signed up 6 months ago for Frontier internet through a Representative in Walmart store. His name was Dominick. I told him I was in a temporary dwelling place and had to move within a few months. I asked him "what if I cannot receive service in my location?" He assured me that I would be able to cancel at no charge. I was in a shelter program called Metropolitan Ministries. I have recently moved into my new apartment and the apartment complex (Windsor Club at Seven Oaks) does not allow Frontier. Their carrier is Spectrum. I had Frontier setup to come and install and they told me that they do not service my complex. I then got the run around from Frontier when I had to cancel. I finally got someone after five days and I was told that I am going to be charged an early termination fee for something I have no control over and I was told something different before I signed up for service! This is a low financial scam. Sounds fitting for the times we're in!!!

    I've had Frontier service for 3.5 years now. When I first signed up, they were Verizon and they were the company that installed the equipment that is supporting the FiOS in my home. A couple of months ago, I started hearing a beeping noise. It took me a while to figure out where it was coming from. It beeps one time every 15 minutes. So if you aren't in the area where the beeping is coming from at the time it decides to make a sound, you are stuck waiting another 15 minutes to try to locate it.

    I finally figured out it was coming from the Verizon battery back up device in my garage. I knew what it was for as I have worked for a couple of the other large cable companies in other states, so I'm very familiar with the setup. I knew that since I didn't have voice service, the battery back up was not necessary, but since it was there, I didn't mind if they just replaced the battery. When I called asking them to replace the battery I was informed that they would charge me for the replacement battery. WHAT!!! I have to PAY for a battery in YOUR equipment???? I don't think so...

    After talking with the support person, he said that they could come out and remove the battery back up for no charge. (Does anyone else see this as silly???) I said, "Fine... No charge to me, then come on out!!" The support person then proceeds to tell me that there is a possibility of charges that the tech would inform me of prior to any work being done. Do I accept? Of course I said, no... He tells me that he cannot proceed with booking an appointment if I don't agree. I asked him if the tech shows up and tells me there will be a charge can I send him away without being charged. The support person would not answer that question and kept telling me that he couldn't set up the appointment without my acceptance of this possibility of charges.

    I told him he was frustrating me and I wanted to speak to a supervisor. When the supervisor (probably just a team lead and not a supervisor) got on the phone, I told him I needed an answer to the question before I would agree to the statement that there could be charges. He confirmed that I could send the tech away if he told me there would be charges and I did not want to pay them.

    Anyway, the product is solid, but the customer service is awful. It's unfortunate that these large companies do not stress the customer service side of their business. This hasn't changed in the last 20+ years and every time I have to pick up the phone to talk to one of these companies, I cringe. This was an absurd situation and there is not reason that it couldn't have gone better. One of two ways, either have a battery dropped off for me to replace, or just simply say, that since you are not taking advantage of our voice service, we would be happy to come out and remove that battery backup device that has become a nuisance, free of charge. WOW. So much more simple and less frustrating.

    My mother in law 91 yrs old lives in rural Ohio and had a tree fall that took out her phone line. I called for service after the tree was cleaned up and was told that they would code blue the service ticket after I was on the phone for 2 hours with a sympathetic supervisor that pushed it thru to the dispatching dept. Dispatching informed him that my situation was not a code blue and they would fix it in 5 days. He fought for me and circumvented the system due to a dispatcher supervisor being lacking in common sense.

    Next day I checked on the ticket and it was out to a tech to do that day. After I checked on it 2 times during the day, wasting another hour of my life that I will never get back: the ticket suddenly went from getting done on Friday and not being worked on till Monday. After trying to get something done for another 20 minutes talking to the 5th person now gave up. I would never have Frontier for my provider. Poor customer service does not even come close to what has been received by my 91yr old mother in law that only has a phone to communicate with the world. She is too old to understand how a cell phone works people!

    We switch back to Frontier Triple Play from Spectrum, due to over congestion in internet share in our neighborhood. Credico door to door sales reps, show up at our house, convinced and promised us to switch. We made the switch. I have to admit, Frontier products is excellent. But what we was promised at the door is difference in term of pricing. After complaining to the Cust Care at Frontier, we were told Frontier Corp will not able to honor us the promised by their authorized agent. Also asking to speak to a supervisor at Cust Care, the supervisor refuse to talk, despite the Cust Care agent attempt to calm us down. At the end, Frontier are not able to follow up with Credico, since it is only a authorized agent ??? We were told to call Credico on our own. The door to door sales rep phone number is no longer in service.

    What is wrong with Frontier??? Are those executive leaders in Frontier willing to allows third party representative ruin the image of Frontier, willing to sacrifice customer experience in protecting their third party channel partner? Someone in Frontier Mgmt team, need to read this review and take action. Frontier own the infrastructure of Verizon, is a good product, Frontier need to step up quality service, both pre and post sales support.

    I had Verizon till they became Frontier years ago. At first, it was great. Always helpful. I cancelled my landline in 2016 and kept DSL internet as not many choices in the area I live. No problem doing that back then. Yesterday on 2/27/19, I called as my internet went out and the first available date was March 11, 2019 for a repairman to come out. I had an important call I had to take before we concluded that appointment so I asked if she would be able to call me back in 10 mins and she said yes. Well no call! So I called them and twice got disconnect after a hold time. Called today to see if I was put in the repair schedule and then confirm my appointment and get a time frame and it took half hour to do this!

    She put me on hold so many times and I finally said, "What is the problem? All you have to is see if I’m on there for 3/11/19!" She finally said I was on there. I had to ask for the time frame though! Also, I twice asked that rep for the name of the person I spoke to the day before (I jotted it on something and couldn’t find it) and the phone went silent, no hold music, and when she came back she ignored my question. So later I asked again the rep's name and again the phone went silent! I told her when she came back I want to speak to a supervisor since she kept doing this silent treatment to me. This floor supervisor would not give me the name of of yesterday’s female rep even though that rep gave me her name yesterday! That’s makes no sense!!

    I just couldn’t find where I jotted her name down. So I said I want to put in a complaint on her not calling me back. He said he would handle that. I could tell they all stick together. I said, "Where are you located" and he said he couldn’t disclose that information!! Really?!! I always get a rep’s name, ID # and location for future reference if ever needed. And I have never had anyone say they can’t disclose their location!! Just a state or even a country and he said no! And he couldn’t give me the name of the rep that didn’t call because she wasn’t the last person I talked to! I did get his ID# and today’s rep’s ID # but he would NOT disclose the name of the rep I wanted to file a complaint on! I said I want to talk to the complaint department or his supervisor and he wouldn’t do that either!

    He can only file the complaint himself and he couldn’t give me an email for me to use either! Btw, all these reps had foreign accents...maybe Asian. I have never dealt with such incompetence. As soon as I can find a carrier in my area (I’m outside of city...sort of country), I’m leaving Frontier with no looking back. Something has drastically changed with this company for the worse. Oh...my speed also got slower after years of being faster too! On one call several years ago, the rep asked if I’d like to up my speed for an increased rate and I said no and was happy with my speed.

    Well wouldn’t you know it... My speed decreased. Can’t wait to leave. 2 weeks is unacceptable for my loss of internet services and I need it to work from home! I want credit for those lost days as well. Another phone call... Oh my! I’m Losing wages because of this. A year ago, It took weeks waiting for a repairman as well. Stay away from Frontier. And yes, there needs to be a class action lawsuit on Frontier! Maybe some lawyer can start one if he has issues too! Haha.

    2 months or so ago I called in to remove my caller restricted message when I call other people so they know it is me when I call people. I called in 3 times in one month and all three times they said it would take effect in 24 hours or so. It never took effect so I just gave up. About 4 weeks later (approx Feb 3) I get a call from a Frontier tech saying he had a service order to come and disconnect my internet and could he come to my house to disconnect it. I told him absolutely not. I didn’t want my internet touched - all I wanted done was to remove the restricted message on my home phone removed so my caller ID would show up when I called out. Nothing else! He said - "No problem. I can make a quick call and that will be done in 1 hour or so."

    1 hour later it was done & working fine. About 45 minutes later my internet was shut off. I called the tech back, he said, "Oh they must have shut your internet down" because of the order he had. 3 hours later they had me back up & running and all seemed ok. The next morning I received a call and discovered they had added voicemail to my landline so I called back and told them I never ordered voicemail and to please turn it off as I have an answering machine. This was on A Friday afternoon and they said they could not shut off the voicemail until Monday morning.

    On Monday morning when I got up, my internet had been shut off again. After multiple phone calls & multiple hours on the phone, we finally got the internet back up on Wednesday afternoon with no voicemail. All was ok until today when I received my bill and they are now billing me for the router that I was not being billed for before this change. I called and they said because I removed the caller ID blocking on my voice that the computer was putting the router charge on my bill and that they could not remove it. So now Frontier is billing me an additional $9.99 per month for a router that when I signed up for my upgraded internet service was supposed to be free for life.

    Sheriffs show up at our door saying they received a 911 call. No one called 911. The phone line was calling 911 without someone actually calling. By the second time, I called Frontier. From being bounced around they finally scheduled a tech to come out in a week. Of course it was the weekend, so Frontier told me to call on Monday. In the mean time the sheriff's kept showing up at our house. Called Monday, after being disconnected (twice) finally got someone who said they had my service called scheduled for appt in 2 weeks. I told them again that the line needs to be check due to 911 calls. No one at Frontier did not see this situation as important or to bump my appt. Had enough, disconnect the line. That I did over the phone took 5 minutes. Today, 3 days later got a call from Frontier saying they are sending a technician out to service our phone (disconnected phone) in two days.

    I called the day I received my next month bill to cancel my service and I was told the bill will not be prorated and I have to pay for bill for the whole month or the end of term. I was told the company stopped prorating bills about 2 years ago. I cancelled the service due to the fact that I really can't afford it anymore. I am only 6 days into the new term and I now have to pay for something that I don't want or need! I'm really happy that I am leaving this company. I would not recommend using this company or will I use this service again.

    Contacted Frontier regarding DSL line down. Has not been addressed for 3 weeks. An appointment was made for technician to evaluate service disruption. On the date of appointment no service technician showed up. We confirmed appointment and waited all day. Contacted Frontier the next day and they told me that a technician had addressed the situation. When further queried by me, the customer, phone rep stated there were no notes or synopsis of what a technician did. This was a fraudulent entry by field technician. A 3 week lapse in service is unconscionable.

    I have never written a bad review until today. This is the worst company ever. I set up new services to be installed this past Saturday. Frontier called on Friday and rescheduled for Monday. Monday came, waited hours then called to see where the tech was. I was told there was a glitch in the system and my appointment was never scheduled. This is after confirmation on Friday. I spent two hours on the phone with them. Was hung up on after being on hold for 30 minutes. My husband finally had to get on the phone with a supervisor which promised services on Tuesday. Tuesday came. Hours of waiting.

    Called again and they said oh the same thing happened and the system wasn’t working and could not give me a reschedule date. The supervisor was very rude and could not promise me another schedule date. We canceled services. They could care less about their customers or their integrity. They wasted two days of my life. They should compensate my vacation days for their pure incompetence. Please do not use this company. They are the worst.

    Updated on 03/14/2019: I've never complained about a company as much as this one. Recently wrote a review about the poor service, reliability, and overall satisfaction of Frontier Communications. A representative at Frontier responded and asked for my email and account number to resolve the issue concerning termination of their company. Four days later $130 is withdrawn from my bank account for a service that was not used. And to top that off they have the gall to to say my complaint is being rectified. NEVER, use Frontier Communications. Buy a carrier pigeon. At this point looks like my next complaint goes to Public Utilities.

    Original Review: Been a Frontier customer since 2001, and basically just phone until 2008 then subscribed to internet. Phone service very reliable unless a tree would take out service. Internet totally unreliable. Service would go out and technicians would say unknown issue with no idea as to when it would be reconnected. Normal timeline would be three weeks. The straw that broke the camel's back was I just wanted to cancel phone and keep internet, technicians cut internet. Not phone. Called and explained mistake and was told internet would not be restored for 3 weeks. Now here is the problem. There is a Frontier substation 7 miles from my home, trucks fill the yard daily, and not out servicing customers.

    Finally attempted to get service by going to the Frontier location, only to be told the internet would not be restored for 3 weeks. This was a mistake made by Frontier and should have been rectified much sooner than 3 weeks. Unfortunately this was not the first, second, or third time Frontier dissatisfied me. On one occasion I called and explained that my business was losing money because of the lost time. Customer service attempted to tell me I should have their business package. My response was would my internet be more reliable? They answered honestly, NO.

    Unfortunately, in our high tech, fast world, the internet for some is a necessity. Banking, small business transactions, communication with buyers and sellers, the list goes on. Finally had enough, and cancelled service. That was a month ago, Frontier is now charging me for a service I no longer use because the request was put in at the beginning of the billing cycle. This is a very bad company for reliability and customer service.

Hold time is unprofessional and I am bounced from one department to another and forced to reeducate every person I am transferred to blindly. Every single phone call I made was nearly 2 hours before it was resolved.

    Now Frontier decides to send me to collections and sent me a third notice. I tried to call in and I am hold for 45 minutes so I put in a request to receive a callback. I missed the return call because I decided I had to take a shower. I am frustrated beyond belief!!! I have excellent credit and always pay my bills, everything is on record and I also have confirmation numbers and records/names of everyone I spoke with. I have already spent over 8 hours on this scam. I would have been better off paying the $48.56. At this point, it is the moral and principle which Frontier lacks.

    I returned Frontier’s equipment and disconnected my service on January 28, 2019. I also was told on that day (after asking) if my my automatic payment setup would be cancelled as well on that day. The representative said “yes.” However, the company took $148.98 out of my account on February 19, 2019. When I called the local office and later a supervisor, I was told it is the company’s policy to charge a customer the next pay cycle, although I had no equipment or service during that time. And that I should have cancelled on January 26th, although that was during my contract period and I would have been penalized for doing so. Therefore, the customer cannot win. In the past, companies prorated the bill after cancellation. This is bad business and I will never use their service again.

    The internet keeps dropping every day after 5pm and it keeps trying to reconnect only to reset itself over and over again. Sometimes I wake up around 6am to see if it has reconnected and it hasn’t. This happens every day after 5pm so it becomes unusable from 5pm to around 6am. I've had over 5 technicians out here and they claim to find the “fix” only to leave and the internet continuing to drop after 5 pm. Sometimes they get here and they say the line is fine because when they get here it’s working and they leave only to continue having the same disconnect issues after 5pm! I’ve also had issues where my trouble tickets where “lost” or were not submitted even after I received a trouble ticket number. One time Frontier left me without phone or internet service for 3 WHOLE WEEKS before having it fixed.

    Also have had many billing errors in which I’ve had to deal with customer service for hours to correct it. But my main issues are with internet drops and non service after 5pm! Also have a videos of the issue. I have 12mbps bonded dsl and my neighbors just got their new service installed last week from Frontier and are having the same problems as I am. They don’t want to fix my lines. I don’t know what to do because Frontier is my only provider where I live and obviously everyone needs fast and reliable broadband these days to do important tasks. Fifty percent of the day my internet is down and they don’t like giving bill credits for when it's not working. This problem has been going on for months now. I just want my lines fixed or replaced so I can enjoy reliable broadband. One technician suggested I get new lines installed with their engineering department but they quoted me $3000-$4000 dollars and is very expensive and I can’t afford that.

    We phone and internet before Frontier came to the area. We were able to keep our plan but after a few months we got a letter telling us that we could get internet much faster now. It was a bit more expensive but not much, going from 1.5 mbps to 6 mbps sounded great, so we called and had them upgrade us. After a few days without the speed changing we called back and they said they’d send a technician out. However nobody came. We called back and after some waiting we were told that there was a mistake and we couldn’t get the 6 mbps where we lived.

    So we asked to go back to our old plan only to be told no, as it was no longer available. So now we were stuck paying more for nothing. To make matters worse our internet over the years has keep getting slower. It’s now around 50% slower, when called they sent out technicians but it always the same “you are getting the fastest possible internet in your area.” When told that the internet was faster before we were basically called liars or we didn’t know what we were talking about. I have an IT degree. I know what I was talking about. Avoid Frontier if at all possible.

    I was with Frontier for my internet service about 5 years. For most of that time, the connection was good and I had few problems. But in recent months, the connection seemed to have slowed down. Suddenly there was lots of buffering going on when I tried to watch Netflix, or the connection would just drop and reset. Nothing on my end changed - I didn't add or change equipment or devices. When I contacted them to report my trouble, I was basically told there was nothing wrong with my service or speed. I guess it was all in my head. So I started looking around, and found a provider who gave me much faster speed (Frontier was 12 Mbps, this one was 60) for a much lower price for the first year (after that, it's about the same price, but again, for faster service).

    When I called Frontier to disconnect, I was told the wait time was one hour! For someone who, as far as they knew, was just thinking about cancelling (the phone tree asked the reason for my call). If they make people who are already upset with them and thinking about cancelling wait an hour to reach a customer service rep, how long must the satisfied customers wait? As it turns out, I called another day when the wait was shorter, but once I reached a rep I was still on the phone for 30 minutes just to cancel. Unacceptable. And then they have the nerve to tell me to consider coming back in the future. That's not ever going to happen. If they could have given me faster service at a good price, as they claimed, then they should have made that offer when I contacted them initially about my poor connection. Too little too late.

    My phone/Internet bill has been creeping up on a regular basis from Frontier. When I called them in January 2019, the gentleman noted that there was an optional Security Package for $10.99 on my bill. He removed the package and I received a bill for $68.++ the next month instead of the $85 that I was being billed for. The next month the bill was back up to $85.

    Another call to Frontier revealed a three dollar charge for a three-way call that I never made. The Security charge, which the clerk said I received a five dollar discount, was off the bill. I reviewed the bill as far back as one year and found that I had been paying for this Security Package all this time. I told the representative at Frontier that I expected a refund for these charges that I did not approve of. I was told that they would not give me any refund. What Frontier is doing putting an unrequested and unapproved "Security Package" on a person's bill is fraud. I intend to pursue this with the BBB and the FCC.

    Updated on 02/25/2019: Since my last complaint on service nothing has changed. The manager said to pay the $59.95 charges and they would credit our next month bill. Why in the world would I pay $59.95 for remotes I never received and was told a manager approved to send them at no charge anyhow? He then said I could not pay the $59.95 and my next bill would show a $35 late fee but I would have to call customer service when the bill came in and they could see he put a message for them to waive the $35 late fee. This is just downright “bad faith” customer service wanting me to float money to them for no services. Sincerely still frustrated in Winter Haven, FL.

    Original Review: No real issues when it was Verizon FIOS, now that it is Frontier nothing but issues every time we have to call. Customer service people are nice enough but don't know how to fix an issue they claim they can and did fix. The next bill sent still has the problem we called about and was even higher. Also, when we call they claim our services are un-bundled and would be cheaper if bundled, they quote a lower price then the bill comes and it is just as high if not higher. We called two weeks ago about remote lag and were told it was a known problem and would send 4 new remotes which they wanted to charge $59.96 for and we could trash the old ones, I questioned any charge as we are paying for them anyhow and if they know there is a problem why should we pay anything!

    They said a manager agreed to waive the charge and we should have them in about 8 days. 18 days passed and no remotes and yes our new bill showed they charged us $59.96 for the remotes we still don't have. Last week's call was 1 hr and 45 minutes long, twice to tech support and 3 times with customer support. They wont give you to a manager to talk to. Just now on the phone with customer service 2 times and 1 hr so far. Finally speaking to a real manager. I'll hold judgment till I see what he can see and fix.

Several days ago I ordered Internet service from Frontier and I received an email and text message confirming the appointment. My current employment requires me to actually work to make money - I have no paid time off. But I took the afternoon off in order to be here during the 1 to 5 pm window I was provided for the install. I waited until 5 to call customer service. I explained that I was checking on the status of the technician and gave them the confirmation number from the email/text.

    I was transferred to another department who I was told could do a more thorough search for the order. After about 25 minutes I was advised they were still trying to find the order. I asked if they didn't just put the number in the computer and hit enter and results come up. He said that it "usually" works that way but he had a couple of other places to check. Finally he tells me there was no need by time or something equally stupid so I hung up. I then called again to get out of technical support to see how they were going to resolve this. It was at this point - after about an hour on the phone - that they told me there were no ports available in my neighborhood and that "someone should have called." I only have one other choice for Internet here and it's too expensive. I'm still glad I am NOT a Frontier customer.

Tests done online last week indicated it was a problem with the outside connection and promises to fix the box were not fulfilled.

    As an executive for a software company with direct oversight of all customer service functions, I can honestly say this was by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had. In summary: I tried to move my Frontier Fios service across the street from my old house to my new home - literally 100 feet away. Although this process did not go smoothly, my complaint is only minimally related to that poor service; my core concern is that Frontier has no one in charge, no one truly empowered to solve the problem. Frontier uselessly passed me to departments that had no connection to my problem, used me as tech support for their systems at a fundamental level, used me to communicate between their departments and manage on-site tech support. I made 30 calls to resolve this simple service movement issue - simple in Frontier's own words.

    In the end, I convinced them to give me the local tech installer's direct cell number and I coordinated with him to get this handled. The installer was great and recognized that these problems are commonplace. In summary, Frontier staff are not empowered to solve problems, communication between Frontier groups is entirely ineffective, outsourced customer service is encouraged to prolong the cure to a problem as they appear to be paid by the hour and in the end Frontier was only willing to not charge me for the many days my service was inactive. In my career, I have never before observed such incompetent customer service and business processes so fundamentally broken.

    After two weeks, I didn't receive it. I called again and this time they told me that I would have to pay for the remote which was about $35. I told them, "Ok. Go ahead and process the order since I needed it." Two weeks later, the remote came. When I received my monthly bill, I was shocked to discover that they had billed me for $150 extra. After several calls back and forth, they eventually agreed to credit the amount back to my account. Now just for last few months, my bills has gradually gone up few dollars every month. I didn't have a choice before since Verizon was the only one that served my area.

The fact of the matter is that for some reason when the main box on Street by her house get worked on My Mother's phone line gets disconnected by the Genius Working on the box...because this has happened 2 times before. I made this clear that the issue is most likely done by them.

    This Company is Evil and does not care if they are putting an Elderly Women with Health Issues that lives alone LIFE IN DANGER by disconnecting her Lifeline. Then REFUSING to check the Service which she pays for by the way and making her wait more than 10 days. My Wish is that Each Employee of Frontier gets the same Treatment for their Family Members when they need to call 911 a disconnected phone line so they can not be located for help.

    I am less than a week into my contract with Frontier and boy do I regret signing up with them. The internet is horrible, they have already had to replace my router and now one of the TV boxes don’t work. I spent over 3 hours on the phone just this evening trying to get this worked out. The customer service on the phone is awful and they are liars. I am not looking forward to two years of this garbage. Customer service hangs up on you when they can’t figure out the problem because they fail to listen to you. This is by far the worst service I have ever experienced. The product and the people are horrible. I will never recommend this to anyone and wish I never signed up with them.

Frontiers cost just kept going up and up and I finally can't afford the car payment anymore. Anyway I cancelled my service today and asked what I owed, they said the full amount. WTH!!!

    In September, we chose Frontier based on the service they would be able to provide. It never worked. My wife works from home, so we ended up having to use our cell phone data plans to get Internet access. Needless to say, we had to cancel after one month. No Internet was more preferable than paying for Internet service we didn't receive. We paid our monthly bill, canceled and moved on. Two months later, we got a $9.99 charge for disconnection from a service we didn't receive. [Frontier did not even come out to collect their box.] Thinking this charge was a mistake, I just let it go. Today, I have now been on the phone with 4 different people that can't assist me. I'm thinking they should be reimbursing me now for the service they didn't provide. That's how customer service works.

    After an hour and fifteen minutes of being placed on hold, I just was given a phone number of the collections service they sold my $9.99 to. No one in their company was able to talk to me about fixing this situation. Frontier has always been a problem for us, my wife told me not to go with them, but we did. In the end, we didn't get what we needed, was charged for a service they couldn't provide, and then charged more for disconnecting said service. I told them I would be writing about this in as many places as I could. At this point, I will be seeking a full refund as well. You think I'll get that?

    This the absolute worst experience of any service company in my 59 year life. I wanted a phone service from Frontier where the service was already installed from a previous Frontier customer. I was then told it was cheaper to have a phone and internet package. The phone call dropped and somehow they ordered the internet package as well, he already had internet and did not need it. My father is diagnosed with terminal cancer and is in hospice care and I was trying to get him a phone right away as cell service did not work reliably there. He needs a phone as he wanted to be in touch with his family in his time of need, and attend to his financial affairs. I attempted 7 different calls lasting between 30 mins and over an hr each just to request phone service, which just needed a line turned on!! It requires no hardware or installation work. Each phone call redid the work of the other one, never actually completing what I asked for originally.

    Day two the order was corrected after 2 more calls another hr on the phone only to have the process started over with a whole new order no. Total time now on the phone 8 hrs and starting over again. Horrible. I wish there was another provider as it could not be worse. Now waiting on hold 1 hr 20 min trying to get the new install date moved 14 days later because of new order no. Horrible, horrible experience. Frontier would not exist here if there was any alternative... Complete waste of time!! I got my dad set up with a Skype number and am using the already existing internet. Took two hrs for a not so savvy tech guy. I feel sorry for the customer representatives as they take the brunt of customer dissatisfaction.

There are 2 people in my house, we can't both be on the internet at the same time. No gaming, no downloading, just 2 people looking at things, and the internet goes out. We call customer service and get the "unplug it and plug in back in" advice. We have went in and changed the "channel" about 50 times. It works great for a day, then back to crappy internet. I've also had Frontier at work, same issue. Internet constantly going out. The only reason I have Frontier is because it has a monopoly on the area I live in, no other service is allowed in the Talcott WV area.

    Again, every time I called it was excuse after excuse as to why they couldn't make my installation date. I had even talked with a supervisor that made many promises but never followed through with even one.

    Frontier was my internet service provider for a little over a year. During that time I had several service outages, all stemming from technical problems on their end. The last outage lasted for a week, several calls to service in which they checked their lines and connections, after a week they sent a service to the home and found their modem to be defective. They exchanged the defective unit for a new modem, taking with them the defective modem.

    A month later I cancelled service, received my final service bill and was mailed 2 boxes with return postage. I notified them I only had one modem to return as service took away the defective modem. A month later I received a bill for service for $107.13. I called and reminded them I was no longer a customer, that I returned their equipment. Verbally I was told that the charge was for equipment that was not returned.

    After several calls to billing, service and collections I finally got a verbal acknowledgement that there was a service call at my home. They would contact the service contractor to verify the return of the defective modem by the service/installer. Currently I am receiving notices from a collection agency for the past due billing of $107.13 for yet an undisclosed charge in writing. Frontier will not submit in writing the charge of $107.13 is an equipment charge for an item their representative removed from my residence.

    When I canceled I was told that my service would immediately be terminated; I was 2 days into the billing cycle. I was later billed for the full month and am not told that services can't be terminated until the end of a billing period. I'm told it is buried in their terms and conditions (not sure if this was even in the contract that I agreed to years and years ago with Verizon). What I am sure of is that there was no notice of this upon cancellation from the representative that I worked with. I'm now paying for 2 internet services for the month.

    I switched because Frontier is way out of marketing with their pricing and weren't willing to move at all when I gave them the opportunity to keep my business even if they came in slightly higher. They clearly don't care about keeping a long term customer that had been paying above market rates for some time. I'm not surprised by the many negative reviews here relating to policies and customer service, my experience fit right in with these.

    My father is a 90 year old blind, veteran. One week ago (Tues) his phone service with Frontier went out. My father depends on the phone which had 1 touch programming to call his doctor and talk to his children each night so they can check on his health. I, his daughter, first tried the on-line chat. For one hour I waited and no one responded due to high call volume. So I called their customer service number and again waited an hour, no one answered. I went back to the on-line and after 40 mins got an agent who took my information and put in a work order. Dad's assisted living home also called and hung on line for an hour trying to get help for repairing the phone service.

    Finally service was set for Saturday with repair due between 8-12. No one showed up and the helpless Frontier Facebook rep let me know when I chatted with him at 1:30 that the repair staff work till 5; but, not on Sunday so if no one showed up it would be Monday before repairs were done. I was also told the info was sent to an account manager to be fixed. I got 2 emails with the exact same script from 2 Frontier managers claiming they would fix the problem. Well it's Monday and no one showed up. Today's rep from TN (James) tried his best but the repair workers in Florida let him down. How long do you leave a blind man without service and how hard is it to fix a phone line so it works?

    When I ask about adjusting his phone bill I'm told that can't be done till his phone is fixed and then I can call and nicely ask what can be done... as long as I call between 8 and 4 which is when I am at work. I go every week to see my father and this weekend he had gotten sick. Over the counter medicine wasn't working so my dad said he would call his doctor to call in a prescription on Monday... until he again realized with no phone he can't do a thing.

On January 10, 2019 When I arrived home, and asked the person I had to have stay at my house, if the wifi technician had been there yet, and they said no one had came. I called the customer service number. After going over codes with her supervisor I was told the technician was still at another customer’s home and was having a few technical difficulties but that someone would still be to my home to install the internet.

She apologized and set me up with another installation date and apologized that no one had called me the night before to tell me that no one would be there. She said that since I had to go thru all of that, that she would credit my account $75. My new installation date would be January 25, 2019. Again, when I returned home and asked the person who I had to have stay at my house if the technician had come, they said no! So I called customer service again.

    After a bunch of run around, I was told that someone already had service here and that they would have to Cancel it. I told them I had service with them 6 years ago. They ended it with saying that they can only have so many customers and that they are full right now and that I could call back in a few months and see if they could offer me service then, and that since I don’t have an account right now and that I would have to open up a new one that I would no longer be credited anything either.

    Wondering why if they knew they couldn't offer me service was I told they could and why I never received any phone calls from them, that I had to call and check on my status. I specifically asked when I first ordered if I would be able to get service because I live in the country and that not too many people offer it, she checked to see and I was told yes I would be able to! I cannot believe that a company that has so many people working for them, can't get on a system where they communicate with each other.

No service rendered so if they want the money take it from years of charging me rental on the Verizon router...a router I twice tried to return and was told it was too old, they did not need it back... Garbage company. I am about to report fraud if they do not stop attempting to make charges they are not entitled to.

    Equipment problems. TV on demand requires rebooting the system. TV pictures pixelate and hesitate. They are throttling internet. Phone crackles and hisses. Customer service is a joke. Problems started just after Frontier took over from Verizon in 2015. My first encounter was a service technician at my residence essentially said Frontier was in over their head and time will remedy the inter workings of the company and communications and customer service through to the customer should greatly improve. This is 2019 and that has proved to be false.

    When I want to view anything on demand I must reboot the system. My pictures pixelate when viewing either recorded shows or live TV. I have lodged complaints about these issues just after acquisition many times. I called Frontier customer service about a letter I received in October about losing a promotional pricing at least 4 times and on the fourth call I was told I needed to call back closer to the discount expiration in January and I did so on January 4, 2019. At that time I was told that the account was re-bundled and pricing would remain in effect until November 21, 2019. Today I received a bill that reflects an increase of 70%. I think I'm done, time to switch!

    I have been a Frontier customer since 2014. First of all it took me 2 weeks to get an appointment. I took time off work to meet the tech between 8 am and 4 pm. The first time, tech was a no show. Called back to reschedule and it took another week to get an appointment, guess what? I took off another day of work and they were a no show AGAIN. Finally after calling and raising heck with them, they set up a tech for the next day.

    The last 4 plus years I have received crap customer service. Called in to make payment arrangements on 3 different occasions during my time as a customer, so I wouldn’t have my service interrupted for nonpayment. Was told I would not lose service, just be sure and pay on the promised date. Every time they shut off my service, and I had to call in (and be on hold for around 45 mins) and tell them that I had made payment arrangements and I shouldn’t have had service interruption.

    Now the latest issue. My internet stopped working on January 16th. I called, was told there was an outage in my area and it should be back on that evening. The next day, still no internet. Called back was told it would be 14 days (YES. 2 WEEKS) for a service tech to come and look at the issue. I told them I cannot wait that long without internet. They said, "Well sorry can’t get anyone there any sooner." That was the “straw that broke the camels back” so to speak. I hung up and immediately called Spectrum.

    The next day I had a new modem and WiFi box delivered via FedEx at my door. I did the self install and within 20 minutes I was up and running with Spectrum. And I received up to 100 MPS for $44.99/month. With Frontier I was getting 24 Mbps (at best) and paying $69.99 month before taxes and fees. Frontiers internet would constantly go out, slow down, not work. I would have to reset the box several times a day. So I called Frontier to cancel my service. All of the sudden they could get a service tech out sooner and could give me a better deal!

    No thanks! I said that I was already up and running with Spectrum. Then here’s the kicker: Frontier said they were charging me a $9.99 “broadband disconnect fee”. Mind you, I’ve never been in any contract with Frontier and I’ve never signed anything agreeing to pay a $9.99 fee to discontinue their internet services. I’m very upset over this. I wouldn’t have needed to “disconnect” their services had they provided me service to begin with! RUN FROM FRONTIER. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY, EVER.

    Upgraded service to the 150/150 at a set price on a 2 year contract. This was supposed to fix all the speed & connectivity issues that we had fought with them about for YEARS. The first bill did not match price quoted, after numerous calls & elevations to higher management, finally got bill corrected. At end of first year, got notice my bill was going up due to some credit I had been getting had been discontinued. They refused to honor price quoted for the 2 year period. Luckily, we sold our home & I got to cancel my service. Bad news, sticking me with termination charges on a contract they refused to honor... except for the 2 year part.

    The power box for my Frontier Communications was beeping that I had a low battery, which I replaced. Then, nothing worked. I called, and after a very long hold, I was told that I had to use a Frontier Communications proprietary battery. This was after a VERY LENGTHY upsell conversation. I told the representative repeatedly that I didn't have any money, and in addition to no service, I did not want to upgrade and pay more for any services. I never got help with my battery issue. I called back immediately, and I was told I had to use a proprietary Frontier Communications battery, and that one would be ordered and take 5-7 days for receipt. Days pass, and no battery. I called again yesterday, and was told that if the box has no power, it's not the battery, but the box needs to be serviced!

    I'VE HAD NO INTERNET SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 10 DAYS NOW! (And they want to upsell me on faster service?)

    Now, I have an appointment with that ridiculous 4-hour window for a service technician to come to my house - on their schedule - not mine to determine what the issue is. Each of my calls were 50-some minutes long - only to find out that a service technician is required, couldn't come out on my schedule, etc. I'm infuriated that I never received the battery they said I had to have, and now I have to take time off work to wait around for them to come to my home. I can't even work from home since I have no internet!

    Every time I've had an issue with Frontier Communications, it's the same situation. Numerous phone calls, very lengthy wait times, zero resolution. If it weren't for the fact that I have fiber optic service, I'd dump my service and move to a different provider. However, none of the other providers in my area use fiber optic. Stay away from Frontier. When it was Verizon, it was flawless service and customer service. Now that Frontier has taken over, it's pitiful, frustrating, disappointing, and extremely irritating.

They have different plans but one can not pinpoint what your plan is. I’ve asked if they have a brochure to show what channels come with each plan? Nope they don’t have one. Service, the day of installation the tech comes and switches all the TVs to Frontier, cool? Not, they assigned the wrong telephone. Tech has to re-hookup previous system and wait a week to get my telephone number released from Spectrum. Tech was here for 5 hours. I told him just do the main tv as he was tired and I could do without the bedroom TVs.

    Next, 50/50 network speed was too slow so I wanted the 200/200 speed. Fine, two days to get it hooked up. Had 8-12 time frame set up. Called to see what’s up and tech had truck problems. Understandable, but a simple phone call would have been great. Oh, I figured I might as well add promo for HBO and other premium shows for three months? Nope, service for 200/200 had to be done first. Really? So again I wish I had read reviews prior to installation. My bad. It's going to be a long two years.

    To whom it may concern, attached is a previous complaint filed against Frontier Communications. Since then further issues have risen. I canceled my Frontier account in May of 2018. Frontier continued attempting to bill me and after several phone calls and endless amounts of transfers Frontier, on more than 3 occasions reassured me that my account was closed and any additional charges were taken care of. This issue lasted for 3 months after my account was closed.

    It is now January of 2019 and I have received 2 letters stating I have outstanding bills in collections from Frontier. According to customer support, again after being transferred multiple times, my account number does not exist. My phone number is not in their record and my name doesn’t show up for the address I previously had their service for. After being transferred several more times, after repeatedly asking for a manager some reps directly told me no. Another stated that the manager can’t help me either (Amber). After the 5th transfer I finally got on the phone with a supervisor who has now placed me on hold for 30 minutes just to tell me I can dispute the charge through the collection agency and they, again, can do nothing for me.

    I asked the supervisors for collections and customer support for a corporate phone number, email address or anyone at all above them (as supervisors) and I was told that they do not have any corporate information as well as anyone above them. Lee, the supervisor from collections again told me there was nothing she could do and ended the call leaving me on the phone with the supervisor from customer support. Eventually the supervisor from customer support gave me the email address. This is also being sent to, corporate.pr@str.com. This ordeal lasted about an hour just to get this small amount of information.

    Frontier Communications ran my credit 3 separate times during the time I was a “customer” with them. Nobody in the entirety of Frontier Communications can resolve any of my issues. Instead they continue to tell me it’s fixed and now, along with the hits on my credit they sent bills that aren’t mine into collections. I have zero faith, regardless of how this phone call ends that this issue will be resolved and I refuse to have a neglectful company impact my credit.

    7 weeks ago I called for my original installation date for Frontier's Fios internet. Today was my 3rd scheduled installation date that nobody showed up for. At no point did anyone reach out to me, email me or call me to inform me nobody was showing up to any of the scheduled dates. I'm now on a "priority" list to have it installed ASAP and after asking for an estimated date the answer I was given by a supervisor was "I don't know" and that there was 350 other people waiting for installs as well. During my multiple phone calls and numerous transfers nobody could help me, answer my questions, let alone even find my account. Going on 2 months just to get the only real option for internet is completely absurd.

    Before you call Frontier Communications get a voice recorder and call them on a speakerphone. Tell them that you have them on speakerphone and there is no expectation of privacy. If you want tell them you are recording the call since they state that they might record your call. Take detailed notes and record every conversation with them along with time and date. Make a record of how long they keep you on hold. Make sure you cancel way in advance and pray they don't just keep sending you bills to pay for non-existent service and then try to ruin your credit by secretly selling your account to CPA aka Credit Protection Association, just another cog in the machine of what appears to be a potential racketeering operation, IMHO.

    Cut off any automatic payment capabilities ASAP. When they try to screw you over and they will, report them to everywhere you can. I have hard proof they lied and committed fraud... When I called Frontier Communications customer retention and asked them for a rate less than the about $130 a month we were paying, they gave me an amount higher than they were offering to new customers. I told them that might not be acceptable and we would probably leave them, but I didn't cancel my service...

    About 4.5 hours later at midnight 08/2018 - 09/2018 they disconnected without warning my Internet service. At first I thought, the Internet is down so I called them and they were useless. THEN I THOUGHT! What are the odds that my Internet service would just happen to go down after I talked to them to let them know I wanted a better price. I have a 24/7 high reliability infrastructure with redundancy the problem is not at my house. The odds are astronomical that this was anything by intentional. Frontier intentionally disconnected my Internet service to force me to do business with them! So I put a network analyzer onto the ONT to find out what was wrong. The problem was definitely on their end!

    I was an early adopter of Verizon FIOS Internet Service. No Television or phone, just Internet service for about 10 years without any significant issues. I was thrilled with my service until Frontier Communications bought them, the very day they bought we lost Internet connectivity. I told them the problem is on their end but they insisted on coming to my house and needlessly replacing the ONT. It still didn't work and I had to talk them through how to get it up!!! UGH!!! I switched to Spectrum. Downloads are WAY faster up to 200+ Mbs and uploads are OK about 11-12 Mbps. I save about $80 a month and I don't have to be abused by that horrible Frontier Communications.

To even get my internet started, the tech couldn't come out for 2 weeks. 2 WHOLE WEEKS! Then when he finally did come out, he did a horrible job! My family couldn't even enjoy the internet because it was buffering every 5 minutes (see Frontier's advertisement about "more browsing, less buffering". What a joke!) Then, my husband and I called customer service to get a tech to come back out, and guess what... WE HAD TO WAIT OVER A WEEK! Mind you, we do homework, work, and stream with our internet... So we have been basically screwed over with these people.

    The tech finally came yesterday, spent about 4 hours working on our internet to speed it up and get it up to 3 Mbps? so that it won't buffer. My husband was on the phone with the tech trying to rectify the situation. The tech told my husband that our best bet is to "GO BACK TO COMCAST"!!! Like really guy? It's been showing that it's 2.47 Mbps ever since we got it installed, and after the guy left yesterday, it's STILL 2.47 Mbps. Still buffering all night, and when we were getting dressed this morning, the internet was "not connected"!!! Like WTF? We are so done with this company that we called Comcast last night to pay for internet services. The only reason we left them in the first place was because our bundle was so high. But it is true that you get what you pay for.

    So needless to say, Comcast will send a tech out this Saturday, which is the day after tomorrow... NOT A WHOLE 2 WEEKS! Oh, and here's the best part... Frontier had the nerve to send us a bill of over 150.00 (customer service had promised to credit us 92.00). 150 dollars for what!!! We haven't had decent internet service since we switched over to this raggedy company. For anyone who may be wanting to switch internet companies but you are worried about your credit, call Comcast. They will let you pay 50.00 to get your services, no credit check, you will just have to enroll in automatic bill pay. But hey, at least you will have high speed internet and great customer service.

    I ended my service with Frontier in November 2018. I understood that they do not prorate if you cancel your service before the end of the current bill, and that's fine. However, they continued billing me for the next month. I spent 1.5 hours on the phone with customer service agents who couldn't provide a satisfactory resolution, and simply would not elevate my call to a manager until I forcefully insisted. From reading the other reviews here, it seems like many people had similar problems, and then faced collection when their incorrect bills added up. I can recommend the response that worked best for me.

    1) File a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB). The BBB will reach out to Frontier on your behalf. When I finally got a callback to resolve my issue, the customer service agent specifically cited my BBB complaint. 2) Send a message to Frontier's Office of the President (https://frontier.com/office-of-the-president-form). I was contacted by a representative of the executive office within 24 hours. How do I know this works? My bill was resolved within 24 hours. And when I was charged again for the next month, I got on the phone again (another 1.5 hours), and as soon as I mentioned I'd be filing a complaint with the BBB, my call was elevated and resolved.

It is all about the money now. I always pay my bill online as I do all my bills. I submitted my final payment of $170.10 and it showed an error message that it did not submit and had to select the back key to make sure my information was correct. I did, and did it again and it went through.

    After checking my account the next day, I noticed they debited my account twice for this amount. I called immediately and spoke with a Tina and she assured me they would put that payment back in my account but said it may be 24 to 48 hrs. Monday, still not there and now 72 hrs. Called again and spoke with Ashley. She assured me that she would re-submit the request because she could see it was not done the first time. Received a confirmation number. It is Wednesday, still not there. That is money for another bill I should have.

    Customer Service is useless when reps are obviously told not to refund any payments even when it is their own error. I now will have to find out who to call to report what should be illegal. I will also call my credit union tomorrow. I will report this to Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Protection Agency. Frontier really needs to get their act together.

She told me her supervisors will not let her waive the fee and that it was a Black Friday promotion (It's January 16th and way past Black Friday). I was then told that in order for me to get a refund I would have to cancel my order.

Unfortunately Frontier is the only service provider in my area and my options are to either have internet or not have it.

But later received a notice I owed them another $300+ dollars for unreturned equipment, that I did mail back to them. There is the rub, you have to mail all equipment back to them instead of talking to a local office that can give you a receipt. There are tons of complaints similar to this one, they just conveniently lose all records of your equipment being returned. They ended up sending me to collections, bad idea, as I documented everything, and had tracking numbers for everything sent back.

At that point, of course I cancelled services, and spent no less than 2 hours each on the phone on 2 separate occasions to get refunded. (The first time I waited the 2 weeks after calling without the promised refund being refunded, then had to start over, and was finally refunded.) I have since been receiving bills and past due notices of services never rendered, and again spent numerous hours on phone to have bills ceased, constantly getting routed in a loop and/or being told I'd get transferred to the proper department only to be routed back to the first menu...

But as far as this company as an whole, is the most unprofessional, back alley dealing swindlers I wish I had never come across... This experience has been enormously stressful, and is still not resolved as I just received yet another bill with threats to go to collections. It's January 16, 2019. I urge everyone to get their cable/internet services through another company, and avoid this nightmare and farce of a company called Frontier.

She got tired of calling every month so we changed the account into my name so that I could deal with them.

    The next month after that change, our bill was almost three times what we had been paying for the same services. They took away all bundles/discounts we had and just made up a new number. I immediately called and said that price was unacceptable, and they told me they would issue two adjustments to get the bill back down to what we were paying, and I agreed to a slightly higher bill from then on, but the bill has never been corrected and it has been almost FIVE MONTHS of me calling and trying to get it resolved. Now they are saying that the bill is so old and I was misquoted on prices that they can't do anything and I need to pay their made-up fees to continue with the services.

    Frontier will steal your money by putting false unreturned equipment fees on your bill. They have done this to me on 4 bills. When I call in to report the problem the representative confirms that the charges were placed in error and that the amount will be credited to my account. Most of the time they never honor the credit, sometimes they will credit just a small portion of the money that they stole. The people who run Frontier ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

    Our service is horrible and customer service is worse. And the rates keep going up. My elderly mother's service went out. Told it would be nine days until they could send someone out. Took the guy 20 minutes to actually fix it, and it was caused by shoddy work from the last guy. Customer service by phone was hour+ wait, same with online chat. Got someone through Facebook who said she could lower our bills and try to get mom's phone fixed sooner. Turned out she was some kind of third-party customer service whose "fixes" Frontier does not honor. Even her lost service credit was less than what she was told. And there is no one to contact who won't tell you a bunch of lies. The worst company I have EVER dealt with.

    I needed a business phone switched over and wanted to keep the same phone number. I decided to go with Morris broadband as I read in the reviews they had better service and phone service was cheaper than Frontier. It is a requirement when switching phone services to wait 10 days for the new service and place the account of the previous owner in your name to keep the same phone number. There is no other way to do it. Phone service was poor with Frontier, the phone didn’t work very well during that 10 day period but we were a new business and had no problem waiting 10 days for the new service to activate. We already had Morris broadband installed for Internet so Frontier Internet service was not utilized.

    The cost for 10 days of phone service, which was honestly equivalent to a home phone was $520.66. I understand if there are some fees associated with this, I’m sure that’s how they make money. Over $500 for 10 days of phone service seemed quite excessive though... To condense, I spoke with a supervisor who refused to budge whatsoever with the unreasonable total of the bill. I then was transferred to pay by phone (which there is a $10 charge for) & paid the extra fee just to have spoken with a person, get a reference number, and have this over & behind me. If you are ever put in this position, beware the cost. I’m glad I was only with Frontier for 10 days & chose to have a different service provider for my business.

    All I can say is that I wish I could escape Frontier Communications. Unfortunately, they are the only provider. I called in last week to cancel my cable network and keep my phone and internet. Well, guess what I did not wake up to this morning. NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING. They not only canceled my service but my account altogether. I had to have my credit pulled again and qualify all over again. Did I say Horrible company? While I was on the phone with them getting my credit pulled to qualify for service with a company that I hate I asked them for a complaint number or supervisor direct line. He said cannot give me that information. So here I am now. If possible stay clear from this company.

    I ordered internet service a little over a year ago. When I ordered it there were several issues with getting it to work properly (even though it was professionally installed). I had to call Customer service 4 or 5 times each with AT LEAST an hour hold before talking to someone. Finally, they sent out an installer that knew what he was doing and he fixed the issue and all was great. The service was amazing and at a great price of $40 and some change. I understand that was a promotional offer, so after a year I got an email stating my promotional offer was ending and that I should call in to see how they could help, so I waited to the last minute dreading the long hold times.

    I called in November 2018 and the customer service representative stated I could actually get 150/150 for, in her words, “basically the same price”. She never gave me a hard number but I figured it would be around $40. I got the bill the next month and it was a little over $45. Totally worth it for the extra speed. Then came the next bill. It had JUMPED to $72.63… WOW. I called customer service today and, after a long hold, I spoke with someone in the billing department and he looked at the account and stated the promotion I had before was $30 off per month for the service plus $10 per month for the modem/router, and now I was only getting $15 per month for the service.

    I told him the CSR I spoke to in November stated I would get the same promotions but with higher speeds. He stated there was nothing he could do and I asked him about adjusting to a lower speed until I could cancel the service because it’s not right that I was told something and it was honored for 1 month and now there is nothing that could be done. He stated he could lower the speed back down to 100/100 and that would bring it down about $20. I asked him if I did that would it put me in a contract and he was not positive I wouldn’t be charged an early termination fee when I went to cancel so he transferred me to the Customer Retention department. I was on hold for so long that I got upset and was at my wits end. During the hold I set up new service with Spectrum Internet.

    Finally after an hour, Will in the Customer Retentions Department picked up the phone. I asked Will to cancel my service effective 1/17/2019 and he asked me why I wanted to cancel and I explained everything to him and even gave him the order # from the CSR back in November and he still stated everything the billing CSR stated about the promotions ending and the modem costing $10. I explained to him that I was told during my November call that I would have the same promotions and that I was done with their service mostly due to the lack of good customer service. I told Will I had already setup service with Spectrum and I just needed to cancel and that is when he started telling me how bad Spectrum was and I told him that at least they pick up the phone when I call and I’m not on hold for so long.

    Will also tried to say that Spectrum does not have the call volume that Frontier has…Are you joking? Spectrum is one of the biggest companies in the United States. A quick Google search tells you that Spectrum has 26 million customers while Frontier has 5.4 million. It seemed like Will was personally offended that I was canceling the service and he was talking over me the entire time. I did curse once when it seemed as though he took pleasure in telling me that I was not able to cancel in the middle of my billing cycle and I would be responsible for the entire $72.63 PLUS a “Frontier imposed $9.99 termination fee” (all I said was “it’s just another $10 ** it, right?"). He told me if I cursed again he would have to terminate the call. I told him to just cancel the service already because at this point I literally had asked him 4+ times to cancel it.

    This is when he got even more smug and stated he needed to put me on hold to complete my request. I was quiet so that he could do it and after a silent pause he said “Joshua can I place you hold”. At this point I’m fuming because I just want the service canceled and I told him “just do it and stop trying to provoke me into cursing again just so you can hang up on me” (which I know is exactly what he was doing). After this he finally placed me on hold and canceled the service. When he returned to the line he stated “Joshua I know you have not been happy with the service but can I interest you in home phone service…” I paused and took a breath so I didn’t say anything out of anger and I asked what his name was again and he told me Will.

    Will never explained to me what to do with the Modem/Router so I had to jump on their chat feature, typed my question and then I went and took a shower and came back and I was still in the queue for my question to be answered. The chat specialist Gretchen was very helpful and resolved my question quickly. How unprofessional can a CUSTOMER RETENTION agent be. Number 1 calling me by my first name, I have worked in a call center for customer service before and we NEVER called anyone by their first name. Number 2 constantly speaking over me. Number 3 offering me another product after I am OBVIOUSLY so displeased with the customer service. I now work in Law Enforcement and we constantly strive to have the best service and fastest service. I will never recommend Frontier to not only any of my friends and family but also to any of my business contacts both within Law Enforcement and in the Corporate world.

    I have had the absolute worst experience with Frontier. It started in 2016 when I got internet/phone service through them and cable through Dish. First I was told if I bundled them into one bill I would get a big discount. Wrong. I didn't receive any discount. No biggie. I could live with that. I had some problems at the beginning with the bill going up with Dish and it was taken care of. (Through Dish.) I asked to disconnect and was told if I did it would cost me several hundred dollars for early disconnection fee. So, I waited the two years.

    I called Frontier on 11-9-2018 and wanted to set up my disconnection for 11-20-2018, which is when my contract that I didn't know I had would be fulfilled. I had checked my account previous to this to make sure I was paid up for the rest of my contract. The bill was completely paid. When I called the rep said I would be charged 150 dollars early disconnect fee. I said, "Why? I am not having it disconnected until the 20th which is when my contract is up." She said that was how the computer worked. I said, "Ok let me get this straight. So, if I wait until 11-20 to call and have it disconnected on 11-20 then it will be shut off on 11-20 and I won't be charged for an early disconnect fee?" She said yes and they will shut it off that day.

    I was also told I had to call Dish to have the Cable shut off. Which we did and they allowed me to set up the disconnect date for Friday 11-16-2018. Well, my husband did have to go up onto the roof and disconnect everything and on the side of the house. Do you believe Dish had the nerve to charge us for the return. My husband did the work. Wow, what a world.

    Anyway, back to Frontier. So, I wait until 11-20-2018 and I call Frontier and speak to a rep named Drew. He was very friendly and said, "No problem. I can take care of that for you." I said, "That WILL be shut off today right?" He said, "Yes it would." He said, "While I still have you on the phone did you want to take that phone number with you." I said, "Yes if I can." He said, "No problem. I will make sure it is released for you." He then told me they would be sending me a box to return the equipment.

    So, I called Spectrum not long after I hung up with Frontier and told them that the phone number was released. The lady said, "No it wasn't." I said, "I just hung up a little while ago and the young man I spoke with told me it would be available immediately." She asked me to hold and checked to see if it was released and it was not. So, I told her, "Please just give me a new number because I don't want to deal with Frontier anymore. I felt like they had been bullying me." So, she did. All was right with the world as we waited on the empty box to return the equipment, which never came. I wasn't too concerned because it took several weeks to receive the empty boxes from Dish.

    Well, today it hit the fan. We received a letter from Frontier stating that we are past due on the account I had disconnected nearly two months ago. I was livid! On top of it, there was an amount past due for Dish. Nope!!! I have already received my final bill from Dish! I called and spoke to a young lady and I was not happy and I was not cordial as I normally am. Not this time! I told her that I was billed for an account I had disconnected in November. Why was I being billed for Dish, that was discounted before the Frontier and I received the final bill. She said it was a past due amount. Uh no it isn't. That was paid in full.

    After I tell her of my terrible experience with her company and how Drew said it was shut off and the whole conversation from 11-20-2018, she then tells me that the account remained active because of the phone number release. Excuse me! No, I was not told it would remain active for any reason. I specifically asked for it to be shut off that very day. Not to mention Spectrum tried to get that number just an hour or two later and they said Frontier would not release it. Right, customers are held hostage by Frontier.

    Comcast is a nightmare, but Frontier is the absolute worst experience ever!!! I would be ashamed to be an employee for Frontier! You would really have to be a scum bag to treat people the way they do. Either that or you are totally oblivious!!! DON'T USE FRONTIER!!! Oh and just so you are aware Frontier and Verizon are affiliated. I found that out right at the get-go. Yes, we have our wireless through Verizon. I wonder how we would be treated if we tried to close our account with them.

Then they started billing me for service full service when my service was supposed to be on 'vacation'. I'd call each month I was gone & get the bill corrected. Then, going back home, I called to have the service switched back on. Got home - no service. It was the day before Thanksgiving, Got passed around and hung up on. No service over the holiday. Called to cancel on 12-15-18, got my bill but - having learned to be careful, I asked to be sure the service was cancelled.

    Got collections after requesting CS. Would not tell me status of service. Got transferred to CS, service on 'vacation'. Got to cancellations, rep very nice, said cancelled, gave me conf #, could not tell me what the final bill was. After reading prior reviews I am going to call & pay the bill, as it's fairly small and I do not trust that one department communicates with another, and I do not wish to be turned over to collections, even if it costs me a few extra $$. Wish I'd checked reviews before I made the switch.

    As I learned today, I was sold a falsified package on the phone - a package without mention that this is promotional rate. Was told $40 to go forward indefinitely, later found on the bill that they are discounting $30 for internet, $10 for the wifi router. When calling speaking to reps. they cannot provide any initial plan/offer documentation that I agree to or signed, neither can manager/supervisor by the name of Marcus ** (won't give out full name for security reasons) give any clear explanation. Rudely kept interrupting and attempting to putting words into my mouth, threatening to disconnect my services or transfer to $110 dollar plan - that I was not aware of anywhere in any previous conversations with reps or even on the bill.

    Furthermore as I learned right there in conversation with him, once the promotional rate finishes he said that I would be paying $110 for 150/150Mbps +$10 (wifi router, which even if I returned to them they would still continue charge me for it month to month, yes, the supervisor said that this is completely normal and they are comfortable with that - charging for equipment that is not in my possession and has been returned to the company) that this is going to be my normal rate going forward. I was told nothing of the promotional rate, nothing that it would increase that much and in addition if you cancel your plan you are billed $11.25 to exit out of this unclear verbal agreement contract. (They were at least somewhat clear that I could do it any month - I hope.)

    It has been hard to believe the customer service I experienced today. The reps, kept telling me different rates, someone mentioned that it will only increase by $15, I was lied that manager would send something in 2-3 days after a 30 mins wait. Another supervisor could not listen my questions, could not explain and kept asking "I do not understand what are we even talking about now, do you want me to put you on a normal $110 or cancel your services??" to my very precise questions that I wrote down and read very clearly before my conversation with him.

    These are my questions to him that he could not understand or provide clear answers, initially, I had to try to squeeze any words into him yelling into the phone something about how great of a service I have and a discounted plan: Looking to get a copy of my contract that I agreed to, can you provide anything in writing? Contract: is it per month or on year basis? Could I exit my contract at any time? I would like to return my wifi router ($10) but I am being told that I will continue being charged for it, is that true? In addition, when initially starting the services I spent a number of calls trying to establish my account that would relate to my address and name appropriately, which also was not pleasant. My advice: STAY AWAY FROM THIS UNBELIEVABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE/COMPANY.

After I change the account to my name leaving the phone number last name and address all the same I thought that nothing else was changed.

I called Frontier stayed on the phone over 45 minutes and the rep said she is transferring the credit to my account as it was new account created when I moved it to my name. NO ONE TOLD ME to pay attention to new account when I pay my bill.

It's like they always find a way to get their money back. 2. I get monthly emails stating I have a bill and what the amount is. That's all I'll look at if the bill hasn't changed much from the previous month. I would've appreciated it if the email stated that my promotion was going to expire. They say they told you, but you have to log in and open your bill to find out rather than them stating it in your email. They sneak it in there quietly in the actual bill where you have to go into the website and open it because they know how busy you are that you wouldn't do that if you're used to a routine.

    When I asked them for a more convenient notification, they said I need to be proactive and check online every month. For those who pay their bills and actually have a ton, would you do that? Of course you don't have time. That's why the email notification is more convenient. They don't serve for convenience of their customers, but rather come up with sneaky tactics and then blame the busy customers who's struggling to pay their bills and going to school at the same time, blame us for not checking it often.

During those two years, we experienced slow Internet speed and intermittent Internet connection issues on an almost daily basis, even after calling multiple times to troubleshoot and eventually receiving a new modem. We stayed with the service because the introductory price was right. Our Frontier rate was initially $34.99/month, or $36.91/month with taxes/fees. During the last six months of our service with Frontier, our bill increased to $39.01 and then $41.12 with no explanation other than an increase in some fees. While minimal cost, this was still irritating. When we received notice that our promotional rate would be expiring, we decided to jump ship immediately.

    The process of closing the account has been beyond frustrating. The representative who initially closed our account was friendly but extremely unprofessional in his language and obvious frustration with his computer system. After closing the account, I received a full bill and eventually learned that it is not their company policy to pro-rate charges for the final month regardless of when you close your account. It turns out we closed our account 3 days into a new billing cycle yet owed for the entire month. After spending approximately 1-2 hours on online chat and the phone (and being given misinformation about whether or not I had to return the modem), I did speak with an extremely friendly and professional specialist who agreed to credit our account so that we only owed for the final 3 days of our service. I was pleased at that point, as she followed-through with the credit.

    A couple of weeks later I received an automated email notification that we had an account balance of $10.54. Because my account was closed, I could not access a bill online. I tried to online chat with a representative who supposedly could not look my account up because I did not have my account number, but he assured me this final bill would come in the mail and said he guessed it was from the $9.99 fee to cancel Internet. Charging a fee to cancel a service is terrible business practice in my opinion (we were not under a contract of any sort), but I agreed to wait for the bill and left it at that.

    I waited for a bill to arrive for 3 weeks (this was through the holidays as well). A bill never showed up, so I spent another hour or two on online chat and with multiple reps on January 2nd, as my initial email notification had said this balance was due January 3rd. At the end of the day, I was hung up on when told I was being placed on hold at one point, I was offered a bill could be mailed to me (a lot of good that does when the due date is the next day), and I was offered an over-the-phone payment with a $10 convenience fee. I was persistent but polite yet could not get anyone to refund this ridiculous balance.

    I finally got someone who told me how I could pay the balance online without being signed in to an account, so I chose to pay the minimal balance and hopefully have this extremely poor and frustrating experience behind me. It is yet to be seen if my account is finally closed with a $0 balance or if I will continue to receive bills with fees due to ridiculous and unethical business practices. I do not recommend Frontier to anyone, no matter how good their price may seem. The majority (although not all) of their representatives were friendly; however, the quality of their service is poor and the process of closing your account is extremely frustrating to say the least.

    My phone service has been out since December 27, 2018. I have called three times asking for service, and was told it would be restored Saturday, December 29, 2018. When that did not happen, I called back and was told it would be restored by January 14, 2019. That is 19 days too long for myself, a severe diabetic, and my spouse, who has a heart condition with pacemaker monitored by her heart surgeon via Merlin. We are in a very remote area and must have a phone line for medical services. I also work from home as a farmer and need a phone in order to sell my hay. Frontier has effectively cut me off from my source of income and from medical services for 19 days. That is unacceptable. Absolutely horrible service.

    I have been attempting to close my residential account with Frontier for the last 3 months but, continue to receive bills. Today I spoke with collections, customer service and some other department. The first two departments did not understand why I continue to receive bills as they see that the account has been closed.

    The last person I spoke with was Melinda, she was very rude and would not discuss account at all. The company is the worse company I have ever tried to work with and would not have opened an account in the first place but they have a monopoly in the area where I needed a landline. I would not recommend using this company if at all possible.

    Frontier offered us a $100 bundled service a month for two years. Gabby stated that I needed to call back after 12 months to get the same rate or it would go up $50. This was recorded. 12 months later I called back and Michael refused to keep the price the same stating the next 12 months will be $600 more than the previous year. He understood all calls were recorded and verbal contracts are binding in Florida, they don't care. Bottom line, Frontier will say anything to get you to sign a contract, then force you to pay a $250 cancellation fee, or raise your rate, when they don't honor their contract.

Finally, decided to change carriers to again find rude, arrogant, and insulting, retention service representative. Refused to terminate service immediately, insisting that billing would occur after month end and include service until then, plus termination fees.

    A couple months ago I wrote a complaint on this company. We called to cancel their service after weeks of terrible service reception. (1) They refuse to prorate, so we paid for the full month even though we called 1/2 way thru the billing cycle AND had received poor service for 6 weeks. (2) They delayed processing our request to terminate service resulting in billing us for a time period which began 2 weeks after our FIRST call (we had made more than one call) to terminate service.

    After a poor review on Consumer Affairs and a separate contact with Better Business Bureau, we were informed we owed nothing... How nice of them NOT to charge us for a period for which we were not receiving any service!!!! Well, Frontier strikes again! We received a bill in the mail today for $52.27 threatening to turn us over to an external collection agency if we don’t pay. I would REALLY like to talk with the CEO about this company. Do we have to take them to court to get this resolved?! I would never, under any circumstances, recommend this company!

    The time slot came and went with no call or installer, I called customer service yet again, was hung up on by the computer phone tree 6 separate times in a row and then finally reached a customer service representative who told me that the installers went home for the day!

    When my wife and I heard Frontier was offering internet to our area, we was excited, after all we used to only get satellite and cellular in our area. We called up Frontier to verify they could actually service our address and to our luck the sales rep says "Yes". He then attempts to upsell us TV service, after my wife said her and I would have to discuss it then call them back he says "It doesn't work like that, I don't get paid that way." I told her just tell him we want phone and internet, he then proceeds with telling my wife he's going to waive the installation fee because we are new customers, he then asked to run her credit to see if she would need a deposit, she of course does it, he then comes back on the line and says "Good news, there is a $60 deposit but I can waive it since it's less than $100".

    He continued with our bill would be $42.00 plus tax, magically came to $60 a month? Says we would pay no equipment fees, deposits and installation was free, he then tells us "It's a two year contract but the price is guaranteed." We were of course grateful, up until I checked online last night to see that they moved our installation date from Dec. 31 to Jan. 03 without calling us or even emailing us, they just moved it.

    So we called them today and asked to verify the monthly cost, the lady we spoke with proceeds with all these extra cost not just taxes, she also mentions the first month we would have a $75 installation charge, we said "No, we was told that because we are new customers that we wouldn't pay an installation fee." She then says "I'll waive it for you." Then we asked "Why was our installation date moved?" She said "This is because you didn't pay your deposit." We explained to her that we was told it would be waived, she said it didn't work that way.

    So we said we want to cancel, the lady was insistent that we had to pay the deposit, we asked to speak to a supervisor and she said "My supervisor said you have to pay the deposit and will only call you back if deemed necessary." We kept asking to speak to her supervisor but was told "No, you just need to pay the deposit." Finally after arguing with her for ten minutes she says "We're cancelling your service."

    At this point, I don't recommend Frontier to anyone, they need to change their sales tactics. I don't see a point of changing providers when I only pay $10 more dollars that what they offered me a month for a prepaid service, the best part is when I have an issue with who I am currently with they address it. I have never in my life dealt with these type of sales tactics from an ISP, they claimed they can listen to the first call we had but then call us liars.

    I hope our email to the executive's office sees help and this will get changed for future customers. Myself, I won't ever go to Frontier for any service, you have to be honest with your customers. If you would of told us in the first call we have these additional cost such as we needed to pay an installation fee and deposit and not tell us they are waived, we would've paid.

    If you have no other option but to go with this company, like I am forced to if I want to have phone or internet, make sure you get paper billing. Do not do automatic payments, and examine that bill _every_ month. Document how frequently you experience slowdowns and disconnects. Record your phone conversations with them if at all possible.

There are so many great bundle deals out there right now, I just felt that what I was getting was overpriced, and not to the level of service that I could get from other providers.

    I had a horrible experience with customer service and an even worse experience with their retention department. They were extremely rude, and even hung up on me. "Patty" in retention did not let me get a word in edgewise, and spoke over me non-stop. I am not sure how she is even employed in a customer service or retention department with her attitude. I spent an hour on the line with them, and spoke to 6 different reps. Needless to say, I will never suggest Frontier to anyone. Prior to the take over from Fios, I was a happy customer. Service was great, and a decent price point. Ever since Frontier took over, it has been a nightmare. Stay clear from Frontier!

    First of all, Frontier is the slowest internet I have ever experienced. I am unable to browse the internet while uploading photos. When I called to get additional 'speed', I was told they would install another router. This wasn't an option for me and I decided to go with a cable company instead. I wanted to end my contract with Frontier and chatted with one of their employees on October 30, 2018. I specifically asked for the date when I was able to terminate services so that I would not incur any additional termination fees. He wrote in the chat box that my contract ended November 22 and to terminate anytime AFTER THAT DATE. So I did. The problem is that he neglected to inform me that I needed to call to terminate service 30 days before this termination date. Also, interestingly enough, no one can access these specific chat records. There are only "notes" about what I called about.

    I figured a chat was an excellent record of exactly what I inquired about, use towards my argument and would receive a copy of it. Again, interestingly, the record was not emailed to me and when I called to terminate, the customer service representative also could not obtain a copy of it. She also would not refund my early termination fee. She said that it is written right on the bill. It doesn't matter if a representative failed to give me accurate information, even though in my notes, it stated, "customer called inquiring about avoiding early termination fees." My bills are paperless because I was trying to save a few dollars a month by going paperless and automatic payments. A lot of good that did me.

    It is this kind of service that helps me to better understand why everyone in the new town that I moved to told me not to get Frontier and go with cable instead. It also helps me understand why Frontier continues to have a "one" star with **. If my early termination fee could be refunded, I might change my mind and write something nice, but I am pretty sure that won't happen. Two days after I terminated my account, I found that I am still a Frontier customer with a balance due of $34.99. So, I called again and I spoke with another representative. She said that the last representative failed to tell me that there is no pro rating for service and If I terminate on day one of the cycle, I am still billed for the entire month. This part I am not too upset about and understand, but what I am upset about is the lack of communication with Frontier customer service employees and their disregard for individual customer service. People are just numbers.

    I called Frontier on August 27th 2018 to cancel my service. The customer service agent I spoke with told me I’d only have to pay $87.53 after I received the boxes to return the equipment, I received the boxes the following week and the equipment was returned that same week. I returned everything and waited for the bill they said I’d get. I never got a bill for $87.53, I instead received a bill for $205.16 for the full month of September even though I had canceled before September even came. I called three times, to try to get this resolved. I was told by the customer service agent that it was taken care of, and then received a notice that they were going to put me in collections if I didn’t pay the $205.16.

    I called again and spoke an agent who told me that I HAD to pay. They don’t do pro-rate that my billing cycle ended on the 4th of the month therefore giving them the right to charge me for a month that I didn’t even have their service. Worst experience of my life. I would NEVER recommend them! We experienced outages, slow internet when I paid for high-speed due to my job that I work from home with, and then the horrible experience with canceling. I have since decided to go ahead and pay the bill, because I just don’t want to be bothered with it anymore. Stay away from Frontier Communications!

    Horrible customer service. I had to call nearly once a month with issues regarding DVR, cable, internet or bill. Each call lasting between 30 min.- 2 hours. In the end they charged me $45.99 for the last month although I had called to place a cancellation notice a month and a half in advance. Then they charged me $4 for a $5 credit for the next month! Even the guy on the phone felt badly because he couldn't explain the charge, and since my account was cancelled he couldn't see my account. But it was explained as a $4 bill for a $5 credit, I have it on video because I was used to their chicanery.

    My DVR didn't work for the first eight months or so and when they finally came down to fix it they said they could only refund me for three of the months it didn't work. I could tell Frontier was harassing the previous tenant of my apartment because she was being billed for months after she moved, and they sent her the box for the appliances months after she left. Today I spent over 30 minutes trying to get an answer regarding those $4 dollars I was being charged and I couldn't even get a confirmation number that my account was officially closed or that no more money would be pulled from my credit card - all they could provide was a call ID number. This was after transferring me to four people.

    I am writing this review in regards to my experience with Frontier Communications. I am astonished at the lack of support provided to consumers. A few weeks ago we had a pedestal hit by a plow truck during a snowstorm. This did not impact our service but did impact several neighbors. My neighbor’s internet finally started working today (after 2 weeks) however by fixing her they broke mine. I have been having constant drops ALL DAY. I immediately called in a ticket and they are telling me that the issue is in fact coming from the ports (which is where the techs were today) but it's just a coincidence that mine stopped working when hers started. Again Frontier continues to put "band aids" on issues instead of fixing it the correct way.

    I am being told that I have a wait a week now for my ticket to be worked when clearly this was a tech issue! Why should I wait for something someone messed up, I could see if this was a non human error! I work from home and run a business, so I asked Frontier to pay my salary for the week since I pay them for a service they can't provide. Of course they refused. I asked for the email of the CEO and they refused to give me the information. If I had another option I would not have service provided by Frontier. They have horrible customer service and do not provide service to consumers that is paid for!

    So I just had a technician out here who on the phone told me that it was absolutely necessary that he come. However, I watched him drive up the driveway and I met him coming out of his van where and he said, "OK you're synced!" So why did you have to come here? Actually I’m glad he did show up because I was able to ask him some questions - the most important to me was, "Can I buy my own modem?" He hemmed and hawed and said that their modems were “special” and were able use for a diagnostic tools and I said, "OK what if I don’t care about diagnostics?" I never did get a straight answer out of him about buying my own modem. At the end of the conversation I elected to cancel the start up service, not wanting to get roped into a false advertising situation.

Just for phone and internet, I was paying $79 and now they upped it to $133 days for a full month even though I'm only using their service for 6 days. Don't learn the hard way. If you cancel, be sure and do it before your billing date as they will charge you for a full month even though you don't use their services for that long. A real big rip-off.

Then they said to correct the address (3 blocks away) would require me to change my phone number. After 3 more calls I finally got the address corrected without having to change the #. They then assigned me a repair person from over 3 hours away. Why?

    The next day he reportedly got here about the same time it started getting dark and couldn't do the work in the dark. I don't think he ever came. They supposedly rescheduled him for the next day but no one showed up. On all of these repair visits they were going to call me before they arrived, but I have never received a call. I'm not sure anyone has ever showed up - even when they said they went to the wrong address.

I got a confirmation number, a chat Id number and a manager id number. I saved a copy of the entire transcript. When the bills came they were always wrong, charging more than what I was quoted. I called Frontier billing and they did not help me. They told me that they cannot access the chats and however did the chat did not put correct notes on my account. I was told to go to Frontier store to get my bill fixed which I shouldn't have to anyway. There are no Frontier stores in the DFW area!

    Then I was told to start a chat again so they can access my previous chat and see what I was quoted. I started a chat, and the person on the other end said they cannot access their own chats form 1 month ago even though I am giving the chat id number. I offered to send the entire chat transcript but they did not allow this either. Frontier is the worst!!! If you are told something there is no way to know if the company will keep its word.

    Aside the fact that Frontier has some of the worst phone line connections and internet service, I waited over a month for their tech team to repair a line. My neighbor had to wait three weeks for Frontier to repair service and she had spent her time without phone nor internet. Best of all, they still charge for their services. Their billing however, is next level scam. I opted for a special long distance international plan as I have family and many elders at that living in various parts of Europe. Every so often Frontier will randomly remove that plan from my account and my bill goes from the average $100 phone bill to being in the thousands.

    When calling them the customer service representative goes through all the motions, but at the crucial moment she is not given authority to fix the billing issue and she has to defer to a supervisor. This person is not ever available and there is no way to contact anyone and I am asked to wait at least two weeks. In the meantime, charges keep piling up and the only solution provided by Frontier is to pay the bill in order to avoid it being given to collections. And also buy into a plan that is $11 more per month. When all I asked is to reinstate the plan that I originally purchased and never removed. This is now the 2nd time this happened. The first time I had to involve FCC who eventually was able to resolve it. I spent hours on the phone and wasted a lot of time already trying to resolve with the company but had to yet again involve the FCC.

    Hands down Frontier cable is the worst company in America!! So, one year ago I called to cancel my service with Frontier Cable as they were going to jack my rates up $60 per month out of the clear blue. A retention specialist then offered me a highly discounted rate for 12 months which only matched what another cable provider had already quoted me. I agreed to stay with Frontier for a year based on those negotiated rates. Now, 12 months later (since I'm on auto pay and never review my bills, my bad) I find out they've been billing me $60 more per month than the discounted negotiated rate the entire time.

    Today I finally called to cancel Frontier Cable permanently and they hassled me about it and I explained the reasons why I'm canceling Frontier. I also mentioned that they just billed me for next month service 4 days prior and that I expect a pro-rated refund for the difference of unused service days. The person that I canceled my order with said they do not prorate cancellations and I'm not entitled to any of that next month's bill back. That's in direct contrast to what a customer service rep from Frontier told me one week ago when I asked about cancelling my service and she said I would get a prorated refund back. This company will lie, deceive, ignore any and all customer questions and concerns. In addition, their internet service is much slower, their channels go out frequently, and their customer service just plain sucks!

I requested they remove the service and I would seek charges of false advertisement. They promised to drop the fees and only charge $48. 2nd bill came, over $80. I called to complain. Repeat same story, install fees, services, equipment, security and they added a late fee also. Finally reduced to $51. I made sure they acknowledge my request to remove security software, they said it would be removed. 3rd bill came. Trust me, there is a trend. No need to continue.

I have speed testing software on my Smart Phone and on Google and my testing has revealed signal speeds from 0 or no connection to well under 1 Mbps for approximately 80% of the time at all hours of the day and night. Right now it is 11/21/2018 at 3:24 PM and my signal test indicates we have 0.34 Mbps download and 0.35 Mbps upload speed. That is about equal to the old dial up speed we got before we started paying for DSL from this outfit.

    I checked to see if Frontier makes any claim to minimum speeds and they guarantee NOTHING with a lame disclaimer about many different possibilities that slow their service. In other words they do not have to deliver any signal and can still charge you. I called in with a complaint on Friday last and a serviceman is supposed to be here today after lunch to check out why I have such bad service on ticket number **. I tried to check on this ticket online a few minutes ago and the Frontier system could not find the ticket.

    Upon trying a second time it came up with a prompt to verify that I am no a robot which refused to respond to my attempts to verify that I am human. If you are contemplating a connection to Frontier for DSL I suggest you find an alternative. We have not viable alternative in our small community so I am stuck. I am going to continue to complain to the FCC, Frontier, and anybody else who will listen until this problem is solved. I am not alone: you should see the local social media page in our neighborhood.

    Frontier‘s customer support is completely incompetent. I received a date for installation 11/19/18, they did not show. I called, Nate told me the real date was 11/20/18 and "Here is $25 for your trouble," and they did not show. I called, Daniela said sorry so many times, I felt bad, she said with absolute certainty they would be there the next day and added another $25 for my continued trouble, and they did not show.

    I called, Keenan and her supervisor Pat said I did not exist in their system, told me to re-apply and she would absolutely put priority on the order and would call me back in an hour to confirm her success. Pat did not call. I called back and Alexia gave me status, there was no attempt to expedite. I’m scheduled for December. This situation with Frontier will not improve, there is no one problem here; the problem is systemic. I’m writing this to help, no person on any phone conversation seemed interested in how badly this reflects on their company nor is there any way to contact Frontier with concerns.

    Frontier continually gets our bill wrong, always in their favor. It takes hours of phone calls on a periodic basis to get the bill corrected, and it usually requires several calls to get them to get it right. We have had several outages as well. Horrible company; should go bankrupt soon.

    Pay the extra for any other services before you go here. I moved to a new home, ordered service, spent hours and hours try to arrange a simple internet connection. The equipment never arrived after several attempts and hours on the phone with customer services. Two weeks later I gave up and told them to cancel everything. I was able to have service connected in 1 day with another provider. Three months later I receive a bill for over a hundred dollars that they sent to collections! I never even had service! They sent me equipment which I offered to send back and they said it wasn't necessary!

    I have perfect credit and nearly had a heart attack when I received a collections notice with NO previous communications from Frontier about anything PENDING AT ALL! Now I've just spent an hour trying to dispute the bill I just had to pay with the collections agency as if I didn't. It was going to go on my credit report! Good GOD! What??? When I called to resolve with Frontier the person I spoke with could barely be understood and he basically said, "Oh. I'm sorry. Sometimes our system makes mistakes and there was nothing I could do." WOW! Awesome!

    This by far is the worse company. They need to go out of business ASAP. They are unprofessional, dishonest, and their service sucks. I was on chat and on the phone with them for a good 4 hours. I am not getting good internet connection and my problem was not resolved. I will call and cancel tomorrow. I don’t need this headache.

    I signed up for a 19.99/month plan with Frontier when I moved to Rochester, NY and was informed this would be locked in for 2 years by the representative at the store. My first bill state the Broadband Max Term was 10/24/17-10/23/20 but the next 5 bills stated the Broadband Max Term was 10/24/17-10/23/18 and the rest of the bills do not even state there is a term, only Broadband Max.

    When I called to discuss the matter the representative stated he had to research it himself and found the promotional price was only locked in for a year and he has had other customers call about the same issue. There was nothing that could be done to honor the initial 19.99/month plan for 2 years as I was initially told. Should anyone sign up with this company request a copy of the contract you sign as I have read on here that they claim not to keep these.

    So it is very apparent after reading reviews about Frontier Communications that they prey on older people. My mother passed away and they refused to waive the early termination fee of $250 when her contract was ending in just a few days. When we did finally cancel, waiting the 2 days needed to live out the contract the bill doubled. Oh Yeah, please note she passed away several weeks early and didn't even use the service, besides it being plugged. Don't get this product. They have no compassion for older people or their grieving families.

    Internet went out November 8, 2018. I was told there was a break in their line a quarter mile down the road and I didn't have to be home. They would get it fixed November 15, 2018. Then I get a message from the tech that the problem is in my house. I need to schedule a new appointment. I call and they can't get here until November 27th. Um I have a job and they are only available on Monday-Wednesday in my area... Seriously... And it's too cold for the next 2 weeks for them to work... Really it's only going to get colder. But they are the only company we have. Really plus I get to pay for my weeks I don't have service. RIDICULOUS.

    My father is 90 years old and lives on his own. Because he lives in the mountains he has no cell phone service. The only way he can use his medicine alert system is through his Frontier landline. His phone went out on 11/6 and was reported on 11/7. We were told it would be 11/16 before anyone would come. I said it was a Medical necessity and was told service would be expedited.

    On 11/11 my dad fell and had no way to call for help. He lay there over 2 hours before I got off work and came by to check on him and found him on the ground. I again called Frontier and was told the earliest they could come out was 11/16. When I called on 11/14, I was told that technician had come by on 11/11 and 11/13 and no one was home. My father does not have a car so is home all the time. The only time he left last week was when we drove off the mountain so he could tell someone in customer service that I was authorized on his account. I just received a text saying they would be out on 11/16, the original date with no expedition.

    My phone and internet go down frequently. When I call repair to report the problem, I get the usual immediate response that if it my equipment, I have to pay for it. I have no problem with that. That is fair. The irritating part is that they always blame my equipment FIRST not their equipment. AND IT ALWAYS TURNS OUT TO BE THEIR EQUIPMENT. Then, to add to the frustration, the response time/appointment date that they give you to repair THEIR equipment is RIDICULOUS and totally UNACCEPTABLE. This time, I called on 11/13/2018 to report the problem and received an appointment date/repair date of 11/26/2018. To be without a phone for two weeks when living in an area that has very poor/no cell service is concerning to say the least. I explained my situation but that didn't matter. My neighbors complain about this horrible service also. If I could give their repair service less than one star, I would.

    I have used Frontier since I moved to the area (the next move I will make sure Frontier is not the ISP) and continually battle maintaining a stable internet connection. They have intentionally overloaded the pipes to the point where downloads are approximately .1MPBS and uploads are .07MPBS. It's pathetic, I honestly had faster internet when I was in Afghanistan. I didn't like the horribly slow downloads but they were super stable and you could play online games (like Diablo III) without being kicked. In four years, I don't know that I was ever kicked off the server by the Afghani ISP. Far different from the 3-6 disconnects I get each hour with Frontier. And what's sad. They don't care...they have no intention of increasing infrastructure (they have told me this directly) and have told me to simply find a time when it's less congested. They're absolutely the worst.
