    Updated on 11/19/2018: I received a response to my post on ConsumersAffairs, their response displays their incompetence! If, they were to have read my post, they would see that twice during a chat on their website, I was asked for my account # and account information. It is totally amazing, that how this company a "Communication" company can't communicate.

    TO FRONTIER COMMUNICATION COMPANY "I don't have an account #. You have never given me one! Read what I have told you 6 time now!" The response I received today from Frontier, is asking for my account information? I noticed that Frontier is based in New England somewhere, and the President of Frontier is based in Florida somewhere? Seems like Frontier has a President that likes the beach better than running its business.

    TO FRONTIER WE HAVE NO ACCOUNT INFORMATION. WE ONLY HAVE A 1000+ FT DITCH THAT YOU DUG ON OUR PROPERTY! After seeing how incompetent this company is and that the President lives in Florida and the Corporate office is in New England and that ConsumersAffairs after 600+ reviews has given them 1 (ONE) Star.

    Please, keep in mind Frontier dug a 1000+ ft ditch, with 4 people working on our property for 6 hours. That had to have cost them 1000s of dollars and we have nothing in writing, no account #, no account information and No contact from Frontier. I contacted their "Florida" customer service 3 weeks ago and NO RESPONSE! I think someone should file with FCC. This company the worst managed company I have ever seen or heard about. INCOMPETENT and the President should be immediately Fired!

    Original Review: We live in rural Montana. Not in city limits. During July 2018, we noticed Frontier laying cable from town out towards where we live. I called the local office and asked if Frontier was bringing out internet service to our area. 3 weeks later a person from the local office called and told me. "I have no idea what they are doing". In September 2018, I saw a Frontier service person hooking up cable to a box near our home, I stopped and asked, “Will we be able to get internet.” He replied yes and I wrote down my phone number for him to give to the local Frontier office person. 3 weeks later a lady called on a cell phone and said she was from Frontier, she said in a few weeks a Frontier service person would contact me and see about digging a 1000ft ditch to our house, we had no idea if it would cost us or not at this time.

    2 weeks later a Frontier service person came out to our house and looked at everything, then left. 1 week later the Frontier service person asked if they could start digging the 1000ft+ ditch, I asked, “Is it going to cost us?” He wasn't sure, he asked, “Have you heard from the office or anything in the mail from Frontier.” I said, “We haven't heard anything.” 1 week later, the Frontier service person told me, “It won't cost you anything.” I said OK. This was in October 2018, as of this time we have not heard anything from the local Frontier office, no mail, nothing, just a cell phone call several months ago, but they dug a 1000+ft ditch without anything in writing. So, the 1000+ft ditch was dug onto our property a month ago now, still have not heard anything from Frontier.

    So, I contact Frontier via their website Chat, after about 45 minutes the Frontier person disconnected me, I have all this in writing, I saved the Chat. So, then I call in again, start explaining the problem to another Frontier Chat person, 20 minutes he then disconnected me and told me they were Not allowed to give out contact for Frontier customer service. So, then 10 days ago November 2, I found on the internet a Frontier customer service email for the Office Of The President of Frontier Communications.

    I wrote out what the problem was, and didn't hear anything back from them, then I sent a reply on November 7 2018, if they knew how long it would be before somebody would contact me, no reply. It is now as of this writing November 14 2018 and I have had no response from Frontier Communications, just a cell phone call from a local person 3 months ago, and Frontier dug a 1000+ft ditch on our property. This has got to be the most incompetent company on earth.

    They dug this 1000ft + ditch, laid fiber optic cable onto our property without Anything in writing!

    For the past year we have been calling Frontier as they sold us a service that wasn't available in our area. They then said they could only refund $100 of the overcharged amount and would reduce our bill to the right amount. Over a year later, hours of phone calls, chats and waiting for managers to return our calls, we are still being overcharged and they are putting us through what can only be called the largest test of patience and run around in order to not reduce our bill or refund our money. How this company is in business is beyond me. Sadly they are the only service provider where we live so they can get away with it. There needs to be some regulation on this company and its unethical business practices.

    I signed up for their 3 year guaranteed locked in promotional rate. Then the speed I was sold was never reached and they finally told me it actually wasn't available at my location. So I downgraded to the lower speed but they then started billing me $5/month more than what the higher speed cost even though the lower speed should have been charged $10 less! They continued over-billing me $15/month for months even after I called them over and over again and hearing promises to fix it - but it took months. I was even billed a $9/month late payments when I refused to pay their over-billing. Then after a year, they ended the promo rate and billed me the higher rate. After again contacting them many, many times getting different stories each time, they claimed I never signed up for a 3 year guaranteed rate and refused to honor their deal.

    I went all the way to the President's Office and they just continued to claim I signed up for something that I had never heard before. Since I signed a document accepting their terms when I signed up, I asked them to produce that signed document which will prove what I actually signed up for. They said they don't keep documents. How convenient. Buyer beware! Be prepared to be sold something that they will not honor. Be prepared for incredible frustration when attempting any type of customer support. Be prepared to be lied to and be angrier than you have ever been about a company!

    ON 10/23/18 my internet service fizzled out. Called Frontier 3 times that week and spent over half an hour each time with their techs who could not "ping" my computer. They made an appointment 12 days later for a tech to come to the house - 12 days! He came out and determined the problem is NOT in the modem or the house, but outside on the utility pole; and that a certain employee needed to be there to "splice" something in the wiring. That was on a Friday, so of course no work got done over the weekend.

    On Monday, I started calling every single day with no results. No one had enough access to find out anything. One tech stayed with it enough to get me a "ticket number", but the problem still was not fixed by the end of THAT week either. WE are now entering the 4th week of no internet, and the bill just showed up! For the full amount! My husband called and was able to escalate up three levels, but still that person had no idea if or when we will ever get service. Like they don't know what to do to fix it. Even when it works we can't get enough bandwidth to stream anything off the internet. This company is a poor excuse for a communications company.

    1st day the service was on, phone not working. We had a tornado 2 months prior. They should had noticed this. I called told them box hanging off. They came and rewired it. Then in about March to May 2018 timeframe. I was billed more than I was told. I called and c.s. told me, "Oh we will put you back on basic not essential." I informed this c.s. cancel due to billing is jacking me around. (At first I ordered that but canceled it within a month.) Well my ex and I split. I assumed account closed since billing kept messing my bill up. 150 and more every month. Not autopay. They took it out ex card, without permission. Phone still on after me cancel 3rd time.

    I cancelled my service on June 11th as their service isn't available where I we moved. I was told I would need to continue to pay through the billing cycle, ending July 7th, which was fine. I sent their modem back to them on July 3rd. They are insisting I owe them $81.38 for the billing period of 07/07/18 through 08/06/18. I've called on 9 separate occasions. I have spent no less than 20 hours on the phone disputing this. I have been lied to. I have been disconnected. I have been transferred multiple times, then told the department I was transferred to couldn't help me, I needed to go back to customer service.

    I continue to receive bills and letters saying this will go to collections. It's a billing scam, pure and simple. Most people will just pay to make it go away. I am not one of those people. This company should be shut down by the government. These are criminal practices. Illegal, immoral, unethical... I'm not sure how the employees in customer service and collections sleep at night.

    I have had this service for about 4 months now and it I literally the worst service ever! Not only has my cable and internet been interrupted due to their installers taking my fiber optic network. That left us without cable for a week then they did not want to credit me for the time I lost connection but when they finally did credit me they then again shut my internet and cable off over a 50$ bill that I was told I could pay on the 15th of this month. Now I'm soo over dealing with these issue with Frontier that I'm about ready to say no cable or internet anymore. Unfortunately the complex I live in only deals with Frontier and that means I can't go elsewhere. Worst company ever!

    I started this journey 9 days ago when I called from my Canadian permanent home, explaining that I wanted internet service at my winter rental accommodations in Southern California. After spending a total of one hour in conversation with a couple gentlemen, I had a date set for the service person to visit the home in SoCal. This appointment was dependent upon my "Positive ID" form being properly notarized and then approved by Frontier's credit checking group. The form could ONLY be mailed to the SoCal address. I just checked the mail - it's not here. They also struggled to deal with my Canadian credit card number.

    Two days later I received a call to tell me the installation date was canceled since they didn't have my notarized form yet. A couple more hours and several "customer service" employees later I was promised the form would be emailed to me. Never happened. Messing around with my smartphone I was able to find the form online and print it. I completed the form and had it notarized (you have to give a fingerprint to the notary!!) and then scanned and sent to the Frontier credit department. Despite promises of 2-hour approval, it took a whole business day for a call to arrive to tell me I have been approved and we could set a service date, one week hence. I set the date with Frontier and then drove down the street to the Spectrum store, signed a deal and picked up a modem. Within 10 minutes I had it connected to my router and now we are on the net.

    I won't further bore you with all of the lengthy and comical discussions I had about "is this a residence or business?" "we can't take a foreign credit card" "do you have copper or fiber on your street?" but my discussions with at LEAST 15 Frontier employees took me at LEAST 8 hours over 5 days and now I have Spectrum service. Frontier employees are pleasant but either poorly trained or not enabled to deal with simple situations like mine.

    My father passed away yesterday and I came from out of state to pack up my 73 year old mom's things to have her come live with me. We called to cancel (we are not under contract) we've had this service for more than 7 years since it was Verizon. Our cycle ends on the 24th but the representative said that we can't cancel until the 30th (after the new cycle begins? Clearly to charge us another month). He didn't care about our situation and wouldn't send a recovery kit so we can send the modem back before we leave in two weeks. He just threatened to charge for the modem if we didn't send it back. COMPLETELY INSENSITIVE. We'll be leaving the modem here if we have to and file a consumer complaint the attorney general's office.

    Well first of all I didn't read the reviews about the company so I called them and asked for a service. And oh boy how I regret that mistake. I order just internet and they tied me up with a bundle which contract. I was told I was going to pay $40 which the bill came up at $69 Plus. So when they came to install it they left the cable outside on the sidewalk the neighbor cut the cable off and I called them and I have to wait a whole week for them to show up. And to make a long story short in my humble opinion a company like that shouldn't be operating on in the United States. So I don't know how much are they going to charge me but I'm cancelling it anyways! I'm sorry I have to give this company a star. Because it doesn't deserve any.

    I am extremely disappointed with Frontier and implore you to choose a different internet provider. I was paying what I thought was an outrageous amount for Comcast internet and was told by a neighbor that Frontier was much cheaper and reliable. As a veteran financially struggling to support my Family I need to save money wherever I can, but I need internet service for work purposes. Since July I have had nothing but problems with speed and reliability, had to replace the modem, and have had techs out on numerous occasions. I work for General Motors and I have actually lost more money and time than I have saved with Frontier service as I have repeatedly had to relocate to other locations with wi-fi access to work from.

    The final straw was when I called to cancel the service after they told me a technician would not be able to come to our home for three days. The customer service employee and his manager were very pushy and were not willing to waive the termination fee or the remainder of my contract month, despite the multitude of problems we have had with their service. I understand I was under contract, but I feel a business looking to foster good customer relations and possibly retain your business, if not now but maybe in the future, would do a better job.

    Do not use this company. First ordered bundle package of tv and internet. Sale person assured me price of 110 a month with Showtime and Stars. Install goes ok except for installers use my ladders and does not put them back. Take stuff out of the attic and does not return. So get my first bill and it's 160.00. YES 40.00 more. They added on without my permission a extended protection plan of 14.99 a month. Plus there is a 9.99 delivery fee. Wait the tech is coming out to do the install and I have to pay 9.99 delivery fee. BS.

    There is no stars in my package only HBO. On phone to change that for 45 minutes. So 1 month in and my internet goes down. Call and on hold for 45 minutes. Do the BS reboot and nothing works. Now they say it's going to take up to 4 days to fix. Now that's only if they can fix it remotely. If not then they have to send someone out. What a waste of time and no one cares at tech support asked to speak to a manager and was told they are not available. USE ANY OTHER COMPANY BUT THEM. PS emailed the CEO Daniel Mcarthy and surprised did receive a call back from someone in his office. It went to voicemail. Tried calling back with the direct extension to that person. 4 phone calls not returned. They just do not care about the little person.

    Subscribed to Frontier package deal for internet and telephone service in mid-Aug 2018. It took five service orders on their part to get installation completed. Customer Service does not have a clue about Engineering capabilities in given areas, so consumer winds up with lesser service and erroneous bills. Have spent innumerable hours on the phone with them; so-called free upgrades not available in area, but billed to consumer. It's unfathomable that they are in business.

    I called about a 29.99 special they advertised, I found that I had to be put through a long sales talk to get there. Finally I set an appointment. They never showed up. I made another call and three days later, a technician shows up; a decent man. He did the install and left. About a week later I get another modem in the box. It is still as it was, I never opened it. I ended up writing a check for 71 dollars. My internet was so slow, downloads of kilobytes took a long time, I could not get anything done.

    When I called to cancel, I was put through so many hoops there is not enough space to explain them. Suffices to say it took me three different people and holding for over half hour at time. The chat person said she could not help me, referred me to another hoop who could not help me, then the third hoop; I honestly was ready to throw up. The FCC should really look into the practices of this ill managed company. I made sure to take time and do this, because I would not wish this on my enemy.

When my bill came I was billed for service from 10/16/18 thru 11/15/18 even though my service was disconnected on 10/18/18.

    I scheduled an appt for new service installation. I was given a window from 8-noon for installation. I was very specific in my initial conversation that I work from home and have 2 teenage daughters and did not want to start service with Frontier if this was not possible. The rep assured me that the time and date were available. Today I waited at home for the entire window. The tech never showed up and never called.

    I called back three times after that and was transferred 3 times during each call. I just spoke to a manager who said the next available appt would be Monday. That no one was available and that it was just bad luck. Such poor business practices! So, now they expect me to take another day off work while I sit and wait to see if anyone bothers to show up.... And if they don’t, I guess they will just tell me to wait again the next day. The worst part is that absolutely no one that I spoke with had any idea why this happened and no one (except a woman in the business unit who accidentally got my call) cared at all.

    Our FIOS internet service did not initially change when Verizon Fios was sold to Frontier. However, one day I called to cancel the cable side of our service and was talked through a round about "discount", to keep cable. I was told this would be effective for a year, & it only lasted about 6 months. Internet/cable/land line was 179, and jumped up to 235 a month. I called after a year & again asked to drop cable. This time, there was no run around... everything appeared smooth sailing & our new bill was supposed to be "89" a month for land line & faster internet only (not including taxes, etc).

    Instead of a new bill & service, our service got disconnected & the system stated we owed 508.10. We verified with our bank, that payments have been sent in. We even paid one bill online with Frontier, which was not even due yet. I called to get service back on the next day, and customer service even verified that they finally received a payment from our bank. But they did not show our payment that we just paid online. Once they verified they received the payment, I asked again, well how much do I owe you? They stated, without hesitation, 508.10. I don't have room to state the whole runaround, but after reading the reviews on this site, it sounds like Frontier is doing everything they can to "collect" any form of money from their paying customer's, whether it is legitimately owed or not. I guess I'll have to pay for disconnect fee and get poor performance Spectrum Cable. At least the bills were honest.

Have never even been close to the speeds afforded by my Verizon Cell Service "hotspot" feature...

    Constant issues with the quality of service, and trying to cancel service is almost impossible. Their billing was off and they refuse to cancel my account when I asked. They only cancel at the end of a billing cycle making sure they get every dime they can out of you. Rude personnel and unwilling to work with a customer at any level even after sitting on hold for 20 minutes plus. I will never do business with this company for any service ever again.

    Salesman talked me into changing to Frontier from Spectrum. I thought the deal was great, less money a month, higher internet speeds. Tech was supposed to show up between 8am and 12pm. Never showed. Never gave me a courtesy call to say he/she may arrive late... nothing. Saw that their customer service was going to be terrible even if he/she ever showed up. I cancelled them before they ever provided service. They suck.

    I have had Frontier at my home in Tarpon Springs for over 5 years. They are untrustworthy and will overbill if given the chance. Long term contracts and issues with the speed of their services are just a couple of items you will encounter with this service. After years of not getting the speeds they promised, they put me on a plan that enhanced the speed package to get what the lesser package should have provided. Several months later, they jacked the rates and I didn’t catch for several months. When confronted, they did less than try to satisfy. They were not interested. If you are looking for a relationship company, don’t stop here. Frontier’s service is less than desirable. I’ve reached out to ask for help in every fashion. They are not trustworthy nor are they able to provide the service they promise. I have signed up with Spectrum Reach and am now receiving 6 times the speed at a less price with no contract. #frontierinternetsucks

    After reading multiple reviews about Frontier Communications, I certainly should have reviewed them before getting service from this company. It has been nothing but a problem from the time I started until now. I have fought unsuccessfully for 5 months trying to get my bill straight for service I never received and like others, I get put on hold, can't ever get a supervisor, told by CSRs that my issue was with a different department and kept getting transferred to another agent. Never was able to resolve my billing issues and they forwarded my bill to a collection agency, who you can't deal with, as all they want is full payment and that's not happening... so we'll see how much damage it does to my credit score... I'm 70 years old, what do I care anymore!!! Word to the wise, DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS!

    This is totally unacceptable! I was told that I'm on the “escalation list” and that they will have someone come to my home if they “have time to squeeze it in to their schedule”. I have had past incidents with Frontier in which a technician came to my house and he tinkered with my garage Fios box and stated that he did not know what to do and then I had to wait several days later for another tech to pop up and they demand that I meet him so that he can work on my ticket. This is getting to be ridiculous! My bill is current and I now have no internet services, no television service and no phone service. My entire home relies on your services. I have a business in which I need to make payroll and I need my internet service restored as soon as possible.

    So to kick things off with this company it took well over a month to get my internet set up because they would not show up at the scheduled times. That cost me time at work. Next off I had to complain to the FCC cause they were throttling my internet to half of what I was paying for. I must say once I got internet it was a consistent speed slowing down only a handful of times in the two years I had them, but it was only 6 Mbps thus the 2 stars. I was way overpaying for this but it was my only option.

    Lastly if I thought it was hard to set up it is even harder to cancel. When I returned my equipment they did not mention a $10 disconnect fee. So I was surprised to hear it when I called to cancel. This was also halfway into the month but did they prorate the bill. Nope. So when the $10 finally hit my account after almost a month I went to promptly pay it only to discover that my online account wasn't active to pay it. They want anywhere from $3.50-10.00 to pay it over the phone now!

With an hour left in the bracketed time frame I had not heard from Frontier so I called and after waiting an hour and being disconnected once, was told the ticket had been closed out because it showed the service had been performed remotely. None of the requested service could be performed remotely. I clearly explained that there was never a discussion about any of my issues being handled without the response of a tech.

    When Frontier bought out Verizon and became our provider, we have had nothing but trouble. Firstly On Demand has never ever worked after the handover. Then I lost all the movie packages that I had with Verizon but Frontier still charged me the same price. Talking of price, it kept going up every month. But the crowning glory is the abysmal customer service. For over a year we were complaining that every time we got heavy rain our phone, internet and TV went out. When we eventually got through to Customer service (usually up to an hour on hold and/or dropped call so back in line on a different call), they would schedule a Tech to come out between a week to 10 days later. This happened 4 times this year, the last time taking 10 days without service. I tried to get a refund, but after being passed between different departments, they always hung up and did nothing. No refund, no apology.

    Oh and the kicker on this last time, I had an appointment for 8am to 12pm, but the Tech never showed up. I waited an hour, still no Tech, so I called and was on hold for an hour. When I got through they tried to tell me I didn't have a ticket in and I corrected them saying I was currently looking at the ticket via my phone. They then kept me on hold while they tried to call dispatch, but they couldn't get through. They tried calling Techs in the area and then I got disconnected. I called again, and again was hold for 45 minutes and again they couldn't get hold of dispatch. The customer service rep then just blindly told me that as far as he could tell a Tech was still on the way but couldn't call anyone to confirm. So I was told to wait.

    Just over an hour later I got a call from a Tech saying he was on his way and he asked me to tell him what was wrong because he didn't have any information on the fault. When he eventually arrived, about 30 minutes later, he told me he only got the call 45 minutes ago and had absolutely no idea what he was trying to fix and hoped he had what he needed on the van!!! I finally had it with them and switched to Spectrum and called to have them disconnect my service. I of course got disconnected on the first call. On the second call I was told I had to wait until the end of the billing cycle before they would terminate the service. What a business model, "We don't care if you have no service with us anymore, we're still going to gouge you for money"

    To pay your bill over the phone, you have to pay $4.95 extra, to pay your bill by phone, you have to pay $3.95 extra. The only way to pay your bill for free is online payment, but their online bill payment system is shady and not user-friendly. There is an automatic date for the online bill payment that is set to after the due date so you will miss a payment and since online bill payment takes 4-5 days, you are forced to pay your bill by phone. They set up the system so you will have to pay extra to: 1. pay your bill over the phone $4.95, 2. pay $23 (residence fee) to reconnect your service. Shady business practice!

    Acquired Frontier internet service after purchasing a home in Nov 2014. Was tired of Comcast, didn't need TV, and got a lot of Comcast flyers talking about fiber optic FIOS for $29.99 per month guaranteed for 3 years (up from 2 years on other fliers). Called them up, was told 'congratulations' I qualify for DSL, which is fairly slow. I do live a few miles outside Seattle, and my neighborhood does have fiber at the street.

    So it was OK for two years, then my rate jumps up. I call them, was told it was an error, that they would give me a $10 credit for my trouble, and $24.99 for the remainder of the year (my third year). The bill remained at $34.99. I called up again, they said they had no record of prior calls, and denied there were any flyers with 3 year price protection. I scanned and sent them the flyer, then they said they don't know how they can change my rate, but they would talk to a supervisor and call me back. They did call me back (went to voicemail), and said to call to discuss options.

    I called back, got voicemail for the particular agent, and never heard back. This was after at least 90 minutes of phone discussions. Since then, my service went up to $39.99, then $4!.98 with some new fees, and now $46.98 as I discovered today - no notice of increase prior. All this for slow, increasingly spotty DSL. So back to Comcast is probably my next step - even their Economy cable internet will be faster than DSL.

    I have internet and called retention in April to see if they'd match Spectrum's offer. They said they'd go $40 a month for a year.

Didn't happen. Called back and there was no record of that offer. I have been dropped multiple times, transferred to the wrong department consistently, and never has one of their people done what they said they'd do.

    They cut my service off today because I told them I wasn't going to pay until they fixed my account. I finally succumbed and paid one month though in order to get my internet back; I canceled the cable though. So they say I will owe $230 for this next cycle either way, and my internet has not yet been turned back on, and my cable is cancelled.

    I was with Frontier for both a landline plus internet for many years. Recently my Internet would go down continually up to several times in a 24 hour period for months. I worked with Frontier techs, even at my home however it was not my home but the lines between the service provider and home. We offered to upgrade however not available in my area. I ended up using a local cable company for the Internet and left Frontier because they could not provide the service I was using them for. I received a bill for leaving their Internet early, under a two year contract for Internet service.

    We only left because Frontier could not provide uninterrupted daily service. We communicated why we were leaving and made sure our account was zero balance. It made no difference and after multiple phone calls that lasted hours plus e-mails, we paid the bill. Why would anyone use a company that operates this way?

    I was contacted by Lianne from Frontier who credited the charges that were added without my being told beforehand. For that reason I have increased my review to two stars. Unfortunately, I still stand by my view that it should not have come to me wasting so much time on such a simple product. The process should be the following: I call to setup service, you provide me with a written quote with terms, I pay you until I decide to cancel according to the terms that we agreed to when I signed up. How hard is that? Why would your system purge my account preventing me from paying the final bill followed by a $10 "convenience fee" to pay over the phone unless I blindly mail in a check with no written bill to support the payment provided to me? This company was not able to deliver on such a simple business practice, and for that reason I will not be back if I can help it.

    Original Review: Oct. 6, 2018

    The service was fine for the first year, but then the introductory pricing ended and I called to cancel. They said that I could get cheaper service by adding phone so I did that. When I got the bill it was more expensive because they lied about the price. I then tried to cancel and they forced me to pay a $10 "convenience fee" to pay over the phone, or waste time going to a physical store because they unlinked my online account before I could pay it. The hours for the store were wrong, so I will have to go back another day after wasting a trip.

    What a trash company. They've won though because I've given up even arguing the extra charges that I will pay for the final month just to get rid of this useless company. Every time that I call it is obvious that they intentionally make their customer service reps unable to help with anything so that you just get sent in circles until you give up and pay. Companies like this should be illegal.

I went to the site and when it tried to process my payment it said that an error had occurred and to call customer service. I called them and the first agent said that this has been happening since yesterday and they would be happy to take my payment over the phone for a fee of 4.50 (OF COURSE THEY WOULD!). She told me that since this was a technical issue that they have been taking the payment and the fee and then she would transfer me to another agent who would reimburse the fee.

    Since I have school all week and didn't know if I'd get a chance to pay it later (I didn't want to pay it late because of course that means a LATE fee) I decided to go ahead and pay. Then she transferred me to another agent who told me that they weren't doing that. I said, "so your first agent LIED (not the first time this has happened) and I have to pay YOU a fee for YOUR website problem?!!" She said, "yes but I can offer you my apology." I said, "that seems to be the only thing your company offers," and I hung up.

    FYI- DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THE AUTO PAY!!! I did that thinking it would make my life easier and they double billed me the first month it was activated. I called NUMEROUS TIMES to get it resolved and got nothing but apologies and "don't worry, we won't charge you for next month". Are you kidding me?!

So, even though I paid my bill before it was due, my service was suspended because they consider the 2-3 days it takes for them to process your payment as though you haven't paid.

    After moving from one state to another, I have been trying to resolve my closing bill with Frontier. None of the customer service and I use that phrase with a grain of salt since they can't seem to help the customer, could finish the job. While trying to transfer me to a supervisor, I would sit on hold for over 20 minutes and then get cut off. After 2 months and 5 phone calls, with the same problem happening, I called again today with no resolve. When I got home there was a collection notice in my mailbox. Don't use Frontier for phone or internet. Because of their poor service and lack of training or knowledge, I now have to deal with a mark on my credit report. Find any other company to use. This company is the worst on the planet, stay as far away from them as you can.

    We have Frontier for internet and phones, we are in the boonies and can't get satellite service. Our first problem was a downed wire, waited to have it reconnected, the service person draped the wire across our fence. Called to have the wire hung up or buried (you had to pick up the wire to get into the yard). No one showed all winter and most of the spring (wire fell in September). Since June we've been having dropped calls, internet blackouts and no wifi. Had several repair tickets ordered, one repairman called and told me they fixed the main junction box and we shouldn't have any more problems.

    Still the problem persists. No one showed up for a Saturday appointment, no one called till Sunday AM and left a message on my office phone setting a new appointment for 10/4. Called customer service requesting a firm appointment, not willing to wait all day for a service person. I'm still waiting for an answer 3 hours later. BTW, customer service said my new appointment was for today, 250 miles away. So, they get my money and I get nothing but hassles and lies.

    Buyer beware! The promotions that Frontier offers the consumer for their services is nothing other than deceptive marketing and bold face lies. Don't fall for it, don't believe it because it is all lies. Frontier has a long legacy of broken promises and they provide a very primitive and barbaric means of customer service. Their troglodyte mentality customer service representatives are rude, combative, insulting, grossly incompetent and highly misinformed. They show a complete and total disregard for the customer and a complete lack of empathy for the customer's situation or grievance. Frontier's customer service reps are highly untrained dilettantes and they do not value honest customer input and feedback. Customer bashing...this is what they do best in fact this is the only thing that they are proficient with.

    Rather than provide answers or solutions they choose to argue with the customer which leads only to additional heartache, resentment and futility. If it is Frontier's goal to permanently drive away long time loyal top rated customers, then they are at least doing a good job in this department. GROSS incompetence at every single level this is Frontier's legacy. The worst and most horrible customer service known to mankind. These people are world class losers who have no future.

    I was shopping tv service providers and came across Verizon Fios (Frontier in my area). I spoke with a rep over the phone and he was extremely helpful and friendly. After about 30 min of going over options I was finally content with an option offered by rep, it was 240+ channels 100/100 internet speed with 2 boxes for the LOW price of 107.99 per month 2 year price guarantee!!! I asked 2 more times to clarify monthly charges and the rep assured me on 2 separate occasions that the total monthly charges were 107.99 per month plus taxes (8.25%). The rep after his long spiel asked for a verbal confirmation from me and I complied.

    After 30-45 min conversation with Frontier I hung up phone awaiting installation date just to receive an email that my monthly charges would be 137.99 plus 22.00 set top box rental and taxes and surcharges. I called in to customer service and they completely disregarded my statement explaining to them that I was quoted a different price by the last rep I spoke to and basically told me the rep I spoke to was a vendor that worked for Frontier and lied to me to make his commission on a sale.

    I then asked them to review phone call recording because I wanted them to honor the vendor’s word and verbal contract that I had agreed on and Frontier told me regardless if they can confirm that this vendor offered me this package at the rate of 107.99 per month that they could not honor it. Frontier then began to try and sell me a lower package deal for 131.99... speechless on actions from Frontier customer service and supervisor, I swear an oath I will never do business with Frontier. Complete fraud and horrible customer service and quality. I urge all to avoid doing business with this fraudulent (bad) service provider!

Not only that, the agent set up a disconnect service for my house without my request.

    I've spent 16 hours on the phone with them over 3 days and the only way to get service re-established that day was to order new service and they expect me to pay $16 more/mo + reconnect fee for something I didn't order.

When the bills were not paid by the volunteer accountant, we were sent to collections. I called and the bills were supposed to be adjusted. They did not adjust them as they said they would. Finally, out of frustration, I just paid the bills from my personal funds. Way to rip off a non-profit Frontier.

Following installation I received my first bill with an 84.99 charge for installation. Called three times before the denied my claim with no reason. Contacted Fla AG who got Frontier to review, they denied again saying the online process does mention the charges. They also said their confirmation email has been updated to mention the installation charges.

I've power cycled everything several times at their request, but I'm still down. I work a lot from home, and this is unacceptable.

    Updated review: Nov. 28, 2018

    After a few days on the phone and an FCC complaint, the issue was resolved. It turns out someone made a typo when filling out a form regarding work for someone else's account, and since that person's phone number was two digits off mine and they typo'd mine instead, the computer partly merged our bills. There was no automated system to catch this, and they supposedly couldn't see what had happened from their end until I reported it and the accounting department got a good look. (Make sure to get ahold of the billing/accounting department in cases like this! the others didn't seem able to notice the problem!) The amount I was overcharged has been refunded and my bill is now back to normal. Presumably, so is the other person's bill as well. Hopefully they're adding something to their computer systems that will give them some kind of warning if this kind of error ever happens again.

    Original Review: Sept. 25, 2018

    I'm going through a nightmare with these people. I've spent hours, from 11 am to almost 4 pm on the phone with Frontier's customer DISservice department, and received no help at all. Here's the situation. I'd been with Frontier for several years, having been automatically switched over to them from Verizon when it quit covering my area. My service needs are fairly basic and I've rarely had to bother with customer service, thus didn't have any major problems - until now. In July (2018) my bill was 79.88 for combined phone and internet.

    Then the next month it shot up to 91.62. I was late getting it from my email for unrelated reasons and it was almost due so we paid it right away while worrying about a rate increase. To my regret, I wasn't in the habit of reading the whole bill or all of the fine print. The next bill soon arrived and was for 96.41. We can no longer afford that as our household income is under $800 a month. I went over a year's worth of bills to see if I could find what had increased while worrying about having to switch service - change is very stressful for me. I found the problem. Another phone line had been added to my bill. We still only have one phone line in the home. HOURS on the phone with customer service only let me know that the phone line in question apparently has two numbers different from mine and belongs to a man named Keith ** whom I've never heard of until today.

    I was told repeatedly they'd straighten it out and refund my money, only to be transferred to another department. One even asked me if I was sure I hadn't just had a promotional rate expire, as if they were hoping I'd be stupid enough to just pay the bill anyway! Only two of the dozen people seemed to notice what the problem was - the obvious second line on my account belonging to someone who didn't have the same name, address, or even gender as me. And yet they seemed incapable of removing someone else's phone charges from my bill! One even said I would have to send Frontier a notarized document and proof of my identity - when they didn't need that to add the fraudulent charges to my bill in the first place!

    I'm about ready to break down and cry. We don't have the money, and I'm not paying someone else's phone bill. I still can't get them to remove it, and I don't know if I'm supposed to call the FCC or the police or what. I know I can't trust them to notify the police of fraud - they didn't even notify me! Someone else's bill was just tacked on to mine without a phone call or email to verify that I'd authorized this - which I certainly did not. I'm going to try again through their online customer service, but I honestly don't expect a better result. We desperately need to switch service now, as it might be the only way to end the fraudulent charges, but that's even more to research now to avoid extra fees. I will never trust this company again.

    This is absolutely beyond a doubt the WORST company I’ve ever dealt with. I simply wanted to drop the land line and have internet only. This can be done from the main office, it doesn’t even involve a service call. I made the request on August 28th. Here it is 29 days later and nothing. I’ve spent hours on the phone with these people to no avail.

    After spending 84 minutes (like anyone has that kind of time) I finally thought since this was my 9th call we were getting somewhere. I was told the phone would be turned off by midnight. I made sure to inquire if this changed would disrupt my internet service and was told “absolutely not”. I noticed shortly after ending the call I had no internet service. Great, I run a home business. Called tech support, another hour on hold. He told me that because I made a change to the account the internet was turned off!!! I explained I was told that wouldn’t happen. He basically just said “sorry” and said when the phone is turned off the internet will come back. So here it is at 2 am. I have phone service and no internet. Exactly the opposite of what I wanted.

    After doing battle with them for 29 days for the simplest of requests is unacceptable and the thought of having to go through this again tomorrow is literally making me nauseous. I just recently noticed on my bill that I have a monthly charge for $8.99 for “Frontier Security Max Security”. When I asked what this was I was told it was an option for customers for extra security. If it’s an option then why is it on my bill, I NEVER AUTHORIZED THIS. I went back a year (that’s as far back as their system allows) and I see I have been charged this fee for the last year. That’s $108.00 per year. I’d be willing to bet I’ve been charged this for the last 10 years and I intend to find out. They will owe me big time. They are INCOMPETENT, DISHONEST, SCAM ARTISTS and unprofessional. We have been their customers for 18 years. Time to say goodbye. If you have any other choices available to you please use them. DO NOT USE FRONTIER.

    Worst irresponsible customer service I have ever seen! I was moving my mother-in-law to an assisted living facility. She had Frontier at her old residence, so I called on Thursday, Sept. 13, to transfer her services to her new home. They took the new address and established an installation date of Wednesday, Sept. 19th from 8 am-noon. On that Wednesday, no one showed up. I called a little afternoon to see if someone was still planning on coming, and they said that they could not install her service because they did not service her new area.

    Why couldn't they have told me that when I requested transfer of service a week prior? Not only did they not follow up with us over the course of the week to inform us of this, but they plain and simple just didn't send anyone out. I immediately called another provider, who needed a week before they could come out. What needs to be understood is that my mother in law has dementia and cannot be left in the house without a phone, which is also connected to her Lifeline in the case of emergency. No phone, no lifeline. For personal reasons, my husband needed to get back to our home, and knowing we could not leave her home alone while we waited the additional week for the other provider, we ended up putting her in the car and driving her 3 hours to our house to stay for a few days. If anyone is familiar with dementia, changes make it worse.

    Not only was she having a very hard time adjusting to her new surroundings at the new residence, but breaking that up with a further change to our home made it doubly worse. In my opinion, had Frontier simply admitted they did not service her new area when we called on the 13th, then we would have immediately called an alternate provider, and had the lines installed on time. By not doing this, they generated a hardship for both my mother-in-law, and our family who had to help her through this very trying time. I would in no way ever put faith or trust in this company.

    I recently moved to Washington State and upon move-in to my apartment, I needed to set up internet service because I work from home. My apartment complex provided me documentation on available internet providers and among the documentation was a custom-made flyer for Frontier Communications internet service. I was interested in their internet service as I was once a former employee to FiOS services on the east coast years ago. Looking forward to the service, I contacted the sales rep listed on the custom flyer, Andres on Saturday 8.18.18, and left a voicemail with him requesting service for the internet-only installation.

    The following day I got in touch with Andres and discussed service options and installation dates. I spoke with on a Sunday and I knew it would be tough, but I asked for a Monday installation if possible. He told me he would contact the installers on Monday in the morning to see if an installation was possible for Monday. On Monday 8.20.18, I received a text message from Andres stating that the installation would not be possible and that I would have to wait until Thursday 8.23.18 for installation between 1pm-5pm, my original install time. I accepted that date and awaited the installation.

    On Thursday 8.23.18 around 3 pm I had not received a call, text or email regarding the installation appointment. I contacted Andres requesting my account and order numbers, which he sent me via text message, and I went to the Frontier website with the information to check on the status of the installation. The website showed that I did in fact have an appointment scheduled for Thursday 8.23.18 between 1 pm and 5 pm. So, I waited up until it was 10 minutes to 5 pm to contact Andres again via text to inform him that a tech had not shown up and I was never contacted for service installation at all.

    I contacted Frontier Communications directly to check on the status of the installation appointment and the rep on the phone explained that from the notes she saw, the tech showed up and tried to call me but did not get an answer and that he rang the doorbell to my apartment but got no answer from me. I fully disagreed with the rep, for the following reasons; 1) I had been watching from the Window for the Frontier Communications truck and had my phone glued to my hand the entire time. 2.) The apartment complex I live in has a unique doorbell system, it has a screen where you are to search for the apartment you want by resident name or apartment number and when you find the person or apartment you want to buzz, it actually rings the residents phone to which, upon answering the buzzer via phone, the resident can simply press option #9 to buzz the guest in to the building.

    Again, I had my phone in my hand as I sat by the Window patiently awaiting the Frontier truck. 3.) I did receive calls and texts from other people and their calls made it through ok, if I saw a Frontier truck out of my window, calling me probably would not have mattered as I was prepared to go down to the main lobby and personally let the technician in to the building.

    The representative verified that the telephone number she had on file was in fact incorrect and went on to contact the dispatch department to get more information on the situation and to see if my installation can still be completed. I was on hold about 20 to 30 minutes, the representative would periodically check in with me and explained she was on hold with dispatch. Dispatch later come to the phone and the representative explained to me that the tech had already gone home for the day and that my appointment was to be rescheduled. I was amazed at how the service tech missed me completely and mere minutes after 5 pm, he made it home and was not able to complete my 1 to 5 pm install. The representative in an almost monotone or numb sort-of-way says, "I found you an appointment for install on 8.31.18 so hold on while I add you in to that date". I laughed on the call and told the rep to cancel my appointment.

    Andres text me back an hour later (after I tried to reach him prior to 5 pm) to ask if a tech had shown up. I explained the situation to Andres whom responded to me via text stating that he will bring this up to the technicians supervisor and then proceed to make statements along of the lines of "If I had known, I would have gotten you an appointment for the next day or weekend", not sure if he was trying to make me a promise, or just saying this for appearances, but it certainly wasn't a "let me work to get you an appointment for tomorrow", but a lot of "if I had known, I would have done this".

    Seeming as if he was only speaking in what seemed to me as 3rd person, I initiated and asked if he can roll back the installation and reinstate my service appointment for the next day or over the weekend. He said, "Let me get with William first thing in the morning". I have no idea who William is, but this was the name he mentioned, and I waited for Andres to get back to with the status.

    Not hearing from Andres, I reached out to him a little after 9 am on 8.24.18 Friday. Andres informed me that "William" could not make any promises but that he would see if a tech ends up free on appointments and send that tech to complete my installation. Around noon, I asked Andres via text if I would be contacted prior to a tech coming out, he answered that "William" would make sure they contact me before arriving. close to 4 pm, I checked back in with Andres who said, he just spoke to "William" who stated that Friday as well as the weekend were completely booked up and that there was no way they could get me installed.

    Frustrated, I asked Andres if there is a service where I can go to a local Frontier Communications location and simply pick up a modem and plug it in myself. He explained that there is no such service with Frontier, Andres then went on to explain that "Sam" a local technician in my area has my order information and will request that my order be assigned to him so that he can come out and complete my internet install.

    Moments after Andres told me this via text, I went to a competitor’s website and signed up for service, I was given a next day install date and received an email, text message and spoke with a service rep confirming my appointment. I was installed next day as promised and informed Andres to cancel my order. I placed all my eggs in the Frontier basket because I have experience with their FiOS technology. In my experience working home internet sales for FiOS and during my time working for another home internet provider as a tech support rep and dispatcher, I know the level of service a customer would expect, and in this situation, Frontier did not live up to those expectations.

    It was already a discomfort giving my whole social security to a sales rep over the phone whom I did not ever meet (the competing company I went with never asked for my whole social) and it was disappointing that I attempts to get me appointments never came close to even happening. The only thing I got from Frontier was an account and order number and a service install date. Almost every (if not all) other home internet providers gives some form of communication and I received none of that, which already had me question my appointments validity. No text or call, no email, and I had to reach out to the sales rep to get my account and order number information, this all seemed questionable to me.

    Then to have a tech, no call no show, on the appointment, but to "go home" in such record time and then to not have any way of assisting me with my appointment but rather, scheduling it a week out as if I would just be content with that, was unprofessional. While the sales rep Andres seemed nice, I felt there was a lack of going above and beyond to help the situation. To text me stating things "If I had known" or "If it were me, I would have...", instead of "I will do this for you" or "Let me reach out to my peers and seek a resolution for you", I couldn't help but question if he was just talking to sound good, or actually trying to reassure me on something. I did not expect to have to initiate him taking some action on his words.

    In my experience, as a former sales rep for home internet services when an order for home internet service is placed, the customer is handed all account information and I would verify with the customer that all information I have is correct. As a former dispatcher I would make sure all appointments are properly spread out evenly for the install techs and when the install tech is unable to reach a customer, they would contact me, their dispatcher and I would make an attempt to reach the customer up to 3 times, before advising the install tech to move on to the next appointment.

    Furthermore, in the event the customer gets back to me in time, I would work with other technicians or contractor technicians (if available) to go back out to the missed customers home. If it is just outside the shift of the tech, I would work with their supervisor to see which of the install techs can go out and complete the installation on approved overtime or adjusted time. I saw no such professionalism in Frontier on any of these things and the experience truly disappointed me which has led me to write this review. I did try but could not find on the Frontier website where I could post this review about my experience, so I am leaving up on sites like ConsumerAffairs.

    It's possible that I may have been unlucky, and others may not have had such an experience, most people I explain the situation to were surprised to learn the company I had this issue with was Frontier, and I honestly understand them. I am still surprised myself on the whole situation and that it was with Frontier. I hope such a thing does not happen to another customer and I hope this review will be referenced by Frontier in some way to make their level professionalism better for the future.

He claimed I was too far away from the Frontier office to receive internet. Back to the work orders that I mentioned earlier... they reviewed the distance 3 times and said I was close enough with room to spare... and btw my direct neighbors have Frontier as well.

    The representative told me the installer is the one that makes that call, not the engineer dept. I was later told after complaining, that if they did give me service that there was no way it would accommodate me to work from home... maybe 1.6 mbs. No empathy, no concern, no solution. Unfortunately, they are the only provider there. They don't care, their word means nothing. I currently, have no internet, no cell service and btw, I was also getting a home phone that day but the installer canceled that as well. Good luck!

    Horrible company, avoid like the plague. Only option in my neighborhood and needed an emergency connection to 911 for 5 year old child in house. Ordered service on their website and decided to get their internet service again. Tech came to hook up and we got phone only, no ports avail. OK because we now had the emergency landline but not for long. Telephone number soon called local hospital, fast busy signal on our line. A few calls to Frontier, couldn't associate telephone number issued to my address. Third telephone call to them I'd decided needed to set up new service. All ordered up and rate was higher, couldn't do anything about without going through customer service. Customer service hadn't been effective before no need to talk to them now. Saw a local tech and talked to him.

    Couldn't believe the deal and a lady called me later and had everything arranged, same rate as before and as bonus no install fees. Few days later, no service. Another call to Frontier who said there was service to the address. Let it go until survey came on email. Tech must have reviewed because he sorted out the problem the next day with the help of their computer geek. Couple of days later credit guy calls and wants SSN or me to fill out credit app online. Nope, no way, gave you my SSN twice before, have service, will pay you. Letter comes in mail, send back 2 notarized copies of positive ID or disconnecting and I owe $117. Techs, by now there have been 2, know me personally. Address has been in the family for 50 years. Poor, poor, poor company except for local employees.

    From beginning to end it has been ridiculous. Day of install I called to find out they weren't installing due to another customer still having active service at my new residence. They never called me or emailed me. I had a hold on my account for that without even being notified and taking the day off of work. Took a week to get a new install date. Again no notification it was happening. I called in and after my 5th call of calling in not one single customer service agent was able to find my account. Even after verifying and going through the same thing 5 times. I even spoke to a supervisor because my information had never been updated!! Horrible horrible horrible service. No communication and just basic skill to update a phone number or address. No phone calls at all.

    It is absolutely absurd! Furthermore, I tried to log in today after finally receiving service 2 weeks later. AGAIN! It does not recognize my phone number or email. AGAIN! I am at my wit's end. This is so ridiculous. So I get on the online chat. AGAIN, I have to go through the "I cannot find your information". They had to update the info. Said it was never attached to my account. Seriously? If it is not updated this time then I have no idea what to do. The only internet service in my area that works and this is the service they provide? Big joke. Sad they can call this a service.

    Frontier Communications just charged me over $15 PER DAY FOR VOICE AND INTERNET! Got my September bill. The rate for voice and internet jumped from $75/month to $125. My 24 month contract expired, so I was anticipating a bump in price. The real aggravation --- we SOLD OUR HOUSE on Sept 10th, but were charged for a full month (9/2 thru 10/1). We told THEM IN AUGUST that we were selling and asked if they would pro-rate the charge. No. Cannot do it. It is interesting, that Peace River electric will only charge up until Sept 10th. The same with the Manatee Utility Department. Frontier wants their $136.61 for what will be only 9 days of usage for us. That is $15.18 PER DAY - WHICH IS OUTRAGEOUS. Frontier has absolutely NO customer service skills. I will NEVER use Frontier in the future. And I will recommend “Any Other Competitor” everyone I talk to.

    On Sept, 21st I called and spoke to three different people: Tom, who escalated to Austin who sent it to the executive escalation level - Miranda. They kept reading that it is their “policy to bill to the end of the month”. I maintained that they do not have a legal right to bill for services not used. I promised them 1,000 bad reviews so I guess I have to post on 999 other sites.

    I used Frontier a few years ago and spoke well of it; it was a good experience however my rates were going to raise and another company offered a good deal so I switched. A year later I decided to switch back. They had an offer for 6 Mbps at 19.99 per month so it thought great and called to sign up; they told me they now had available 12mbps for 29.99 so I said ok to that. A week later they called and told me that wasn't available and so I said ok 6 at 19.99 was ok. A week later the installer arrived and when it was connected it was 12. When my first bill arrived it was way more than the 29.99; double perhaps; I went back and forth with them many many times before getting 6 Mbps at 34.99 per month which actually runs at about 3.5 Mbps.

    I have explained what I was offered and what I got time after time after time and they really seemed to understand but then would come back with the best deal they could give me today. I have come to the conclusion that to most of these younger people the original deal concept is meaningless; they really do not understand the concept. Then as the call is ending they let me know of some deal I can purchase from them today.

    I now remember friends telling me of their experiences with Frontier when I was having my good experience and I can appreciate their frustration. A good thing is that the 3.5 Mbps actually seems to be enough for streaming and for skype and assume it is due to technical improvements in data transfer so in spite of the absurd customer relations the service is acceptable so I have decided to just let the 19.99 being increased to 34.99 go after so many failed attempts. Another thing; these phone people are following a script of some sort but really are trying to help; it is like an experiment of some sort is being run and they are victims of it too. Check out skype complaints; same sort of stuff; I mean it is irrational.

    On June 15th 2018 I closed out my account with Frontier due to home sale. Kept receiving bills at my new address and contacted them twice about the bills. I was told by 2 different customer service agents to ignore the bills, that it would take several months to close my account in their system. I finally received a notice that it was going to be turned over to collections. I contacted customer service for the 3rd time and discovered that since I disconnected my account on June 15th but the new billing cycle started June 13th that I would be liable for another month since they do not prorate. I have no problem paying the amount but then they charge me another $4.50 for it going to collection department. If they had told me that on the first 2 calls I would have paid it then. Bunch of clueless people! Worst customer service ever. BEWARE if you become a customer and have a billing issue!

    THE WORST COMPANY EVER - I have been dealing with a payment dispute with your company, Frontier Communications, since June 2018. I believe I am not the only one in my area affected by Frontier's deceptive plans offered and TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE which is why I'm going public. I want to save others the stress and hassles I have experienced. This has affected my health and these deceptive business practices and collection threats need to stop.

    Here's the timeline of my experience with Frontier: FRONTIER Communication Timeline June 1, 2016 - present: June 1, 2016 - Signed up with Frontier at the promotional rate of approx. $130-$140 (taxes and fees vary). June 1, 2018 - No notice of contract ending - received a bill which more than doubled to $311.22. Decided to cancel service as a result. Called to cancel and was transferred to retention department. Spoke to a man in retention who said he could either revert me back to the $140/month rate or I can cancel and just pay the $140 for the month I used. I chose to close my account and only agree to pay the $140 for the month I used. I also returned the equipment that month.

    July 9 - I called again to confirm receipt of my equipment and spoke to a customer service representative in the retention department who confirmed they had received the equipment back. I needed to know the exact amount I owed and was prepared to make my final payment. July 23 - I called again and spoke to Simone, ANOTHER customer service representative to confirm I can come back once the 30 days are done. She told me she was going to transfer me back to a supervisor and gave me a man by the name of Jared. Jared promised me he was going to investigate this and get back to me. He gave me his phone number, **. I learned later that he was ONLY a vendor and I was 100% misled to believe he was a supervisor. I never heard from Jared.

    August 21 - I spoke to Mike in collections who transferred me to Rachel at (877) 433-3806 x **. She also PROMISED several times she would call me back and no matter what she would make sure to get back to me to remove the entire amount of what I owed. I called her eight times and emailed Mike to please help me. I NEVER heard from either of them. August 29 - I called AGAIN to figure out my last payment and spoke Yvonne ** who said she also was going to call me back. She called me back the day we spoke and said she also needed to investigate all these records and different charges. To date, I have not heard from her at all since the day we spoke.

    I have already contacted the Better Business Bureau,consumer affairs AND and the FCC along with several TV stations. It is a shame for your company that nobody sincerely called me personally & apologized for the inconvenience you've caused me and you should respectfully waive the final amount which your company can still not get the correct amount.

    We called on August 30th, 2018 to shut off our service because we were moving on the 6th of Sept. we wanted disconnected on a Sept 6th, 2018. I was up to date with all bills with Frontier as well. Sorita said it would be shut off on Sept. 6th, 2018. She did state we would NOT be prorated which is messed up in itself. I paid ahead to cover that bill and deleted all my payment accounts linked on account. A month later I notice a charge and see they charged me THREE times in ONE MONTH! So I am OVERPAID by about $100.

    I log into account to see the service is Active and was NEVER DISCONNECTED! In the meantime I’m over here in a new town that finally offers 150 Mbps speed vs the 3 Mbps we were getting in the small town through frontier paying them connection fees, prepaying so this month instead of being out $42.98 I’m out over $300!!!

I called and the lady just doesn’t care so she’s like “ok I’ll cancel it for you”.

    Frontier has multiple deceptive and deceitful practices, which steal money from consumers. I signed up for a bundled plan with no contract. Upon canceling their service, I was told I would have to pay over $40 for early termination fees. What? In addition, I had service canceled today, and no longer have any services provided by Frontier. I was told I have to pay for the balance of the billing period, which is through Oct 1st. In other words, I have to pay for 2 weeks of service I no longer have. How can that be legal? Third, I signed up for their automatic billing plan, received e-mail confirmation I was enrolled, and then discovered the bill was not paid through their system, and was charged a late fee.

My huge problem with them is after all these years as a customer, I called to tell them I was moving across the country and needed to cancel. The customer rep was trying to talk me into keeping my service. When I explained that I would be staying with friends who already have internet, she was suggesting that I put it on hold for 6 months so I can have it at our next place.

    I told her that I was unsure of how long I'd be staying with my friend so I just wanted to cancel and then she suggested I keep it active at my apartment I was leaving as a gift for anyone staying behind. I assured her we were all moving and I did not want to pay for internet for strangers in my old apartment. Then she said, "Well, to completely cancel, we charge $9.99."

We were not. Because they could not verify onsite that our service was not working, they provided NO customer service to us to refund us for what we paid for that did not work. If I refused service, I would understand that, but we would have had to go without service for over a week before they could come onsite. Because they couldn't make it work, the customer gets the back-end of the stick and pays.

I called and every CS gave me different answers on the status of my account. Not any of them similar findings. Then when service order was finalized, they said it would take additional 7 days to wait before all services are connected. That would be a total of 9 days if I waited. Now they can't even do some kind of credit with all the hassles I went through. Oh did I mention that my mom was hospitalized that week and so I would have worked from home if I had internet service.

It is a customer service nightmare if you need to contact Frontier for any problem. They would trap you with a contract that you could not cancel their service, when you need attention, you will be totally ignored as they simply don’t care.

    On 9/1, our internet was down with no service as well as home phone with no dial tone. We called Frontier customer service thinking it was just a reset issue as we could not do it ourselves. The technical team tried and was not successful, they would need to send someone outside contractor over to look at it. A ticket was issued on 9/2, we waited and waited, no one came and no one call, even we left our cell phone number for the return call. We called back again and sat and waited on the phone for over ½ hour to 1 ½ hour the minimum. Each transfer would ask you the same questions over again without getting anywhere. After several calls, we discovered that the ticket was closed on 9/5 with no resolution and reason, plus no one came or have the courtesy to let us know what is happening.

    A week has gone by, keep calling and hoping someone will show up. We waited at home without going to work, unable to work from home as there is no internet. On 9/12 my husband called the escalation hotline. Spoke to a manager and was advised she guaranteed will have someone coming by end of the day. Again, no one called back or showed up, we called again after waiting for a long time, transferring one area to the other, then nothing can be done but opened another ticket. 9/13 Still no one calling back or showing up. It has been two weeks without internet and phone service and we don’t know when we will have the service back. It has been days and wasting hours on the phone ever since.

    I called Frontier last year to try and lower my bill after promotional rates expired. I had planned on cancelling services I wasn't using (like their voice service). I spoke with a retention specialist, and he told me I could keep everything the same, increase my internet speed, and my bill would go down to $108.99! I was very happy. Except- my bill went up. I have spoken with SEVERAL reps since then, and each time, I was told a supervisor would contact me. No one ever called me back. I continued to call, and my bill continued to go up. Finally, I cancelled my service, and filed an FCC complaint.

    I received a call from HQ and was told she could offer me what equates to about a $75 credit for the last 6 months (not nearly the amount I had overpaid for the previous 10 months). Then I received another bill from Frontier for $145 for an "early termination fee" even though I was on a "no contract plan." Apparently, I locked myself into a 2 year contract when I used the Amazon gift card they sent me. I called and said I shouldn't have to pay the $145 and asked about the 6 month credit I was supposed to get. They said they don't see any mention of any credit on my account. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was disconnected...another hour down the drain.

    One of the worst experiences in dealing with another business. They have contracts for a reason... no one would stay with them if not forced to. I had very limited choices when I opened my business last year, as in - they were my ONLY choice, or I would not have chosen them. Month and after month of wrong billing, customer service nightmares, etc my bill went up about 30% to $360/mo. I called to question - they said my "promo rate" had expired. Ok, so I asked if I was still u derived contract (because when I tried to leave 6 to 8 months prior I was going to get hit with some insane $1000 per line termination fee). I was assured on 2 or 3 different calls that I was not, and no early termination fees would apply. So I went thru the process to porting one of my lines to a small company here and after it ported I cancelled my other lines. Again being told there would be no termination fees.

    I somehow had a fee of 30 or 60$ for Internet, I agreed to that. I just wanted away from them. I also had the Dish service in my package which I was told I would have a fee to cancel, so I just reduced it to the basic $12/mo plan for the next yr - even though we have another company. Anyway, the 1 line transferred and 2 lines cancelled, I thought that was it. Got my last bill... to my surprise almost $3000 of charges! Of course I called and was transferred around for 3 to 6 times each time spending HOURS on the phone and no one is helpful. Each agent passing me off to another. I can no longer access my account online and therefore cannot turn off my auto pay, and of course their CS reps "can't" do it either. Today finally, supposed, I spoke to a manager, who told me that it did not matter what any of their reps told me, all that mattered was the original contract I signed a year ago. I was shocked. I am still in shock.

    I don't recall what happened last June/July or the conversation for service. I just know what I was told these past couple weeks by their service reps. I would have never cancelled if one of them told me of these fees. Now what do I do? Autopay is going to take $3000 from me on 9/25, and I have no way to stop it. Frontier says my account is in the "dispute resolution" or "under investigation" which is likely BS. I'm a small business... and I'm at a loss. What do I do? What can I do? Don't ever do business with them. From day one they didn't show when they were suppose to, install was a mess, billing always, I gave up and paid extra $20 every month lol, then not this.

I've been trying to pay them online for 2 months now with a new card but they pulled from an old expired card and tried to BLAME ME each time saying it came back 'lack of funds'!! Trying to pay yet again, they refused to take my payment over the phone without charging me and additional $4.50 and repeatedly said it was my error and to pay online again or mail it. But since their system kept pulling from an old card even though I entered my new card I said no!

    And to let me pay it on the phone with NO charge!! I don't even have the old card. I'm so infuriated. The first person I spoke with said they'd be more than happy to see proof I had funds available and that I could email them, and they all have email addresses. When I finally got connected with that person's (still useless) supervisor, he refused to give me his email or anyone's to send proof and insisting I pay the late charges. They also refused to put in a trouble ticket or look into further. After close to an hour on the phone he said he would call me back in 48 hours. They totally suck, it's unreal how they can leave customers with NO way to contact the person you spoke with and/or anyone who can do anything, let alone any email address to contact.

So we called to cancel Frontier and were advised not to cancel but to use their vacation mode ($9.99/month) so that we could avoid initial set up fees when it was time to re-set up our service in our new apartment. The customer service representative said that Frontier was the provider at our new apartment complex. That was incorrect. Our new apartment complex DOES NOT use Frontier. So we proceeded to cancel. And somehow they said we owe them $132.25. We were on vacation mode for two months so that should have only cost us $9.99 x 2 + tax...

    They said that because of the time we canceled we had to pay for 30 days of service... Someone tell me how that is not CRIMINAL? We were on vacation mode and living with my husband's mother. We did not have an address to even receive services... Needless to say we disputed these charges for hours and were lied to that it was taken care of. It is now SEPTEMBER and we have given up. Not one person was able to fix this for us and Frontier is wrongfully getting our hard earned money. I am not sure how these people sleep at night. They are deceiving thieves.

    I had the service with Frontier from 2/21, 2017 through 2/27, 2017. Canceled the service because I had to go to China for a long time. Send them back the modem in the package provided by Frontier. The initial bill was $290 for the 6 days of service. Called Frontier from China and was told that everything is taken care of. The bill was adjusted to $116. While I was abroad it ended up in collections. Now Frontier says that the account is written off and the charge is for the modem. Collections agency says there's nothing they can do and Frontier says there's nothing they can do. In the meantime I'm denied credit because of the debt placed on my credit record.

    Frontier is in need of some serious company restructure, strategic adjustment and complete overhaul. I've been a customer for several years due to the fact that I have NO other option except satellite which I had installed (again) yesterday. On a monthly basis I had to have some type of service because my internet would go down. Incredibly slow when it actually worked, at MOST 1 mb/sec speed. Although customer service representatives and service technicians were always curious and helpful to their capabilities, nothing ever improved. Multiple times when put on hold, I would select the option to schedule a callback, generally I never received a call at all. Yesterday I scheduled online for a 4:30 pm call, I received a call at 9:00 am this morning. Well I guess they did actually call back this time!

    No one ever accomplished what they said they would, for example, in August I was without internet for 2 weeks, yes 2 weeks. They never showed up within the time frame they said they would. They never completed the repair when they said they would AND when it was repaired customer service was contacted to give me credit on my bill for being out of service only. When I received my bill, no credit applied so I had to call YET AGAIN! If my house was 1600 feet to the right, I would have OTHER options but Frontier owns this footprint so I was stuck. I asked if there was ANY WAY I could get additional speed and I was told repeatedly NO, the trunk line to my home (yes, I am remote and not in a neighborhood) could ONLY handled 1 mb/sec speed.

    Later in the conversation the representative asked me if I had my home phone line with them, I told her I used to be. I no longer have a landline. She said if I will sign up with them they could get me more speed. REALLY! I thought the trunk line only handled 1 mb/sec? Then she said, "Well if you'll upgrade and pay more we can get you 3 mb/sec." REALLY! I thought the trunk line only handled 1 mb/sec? So you want me to pay MORE for the promise of additional speed when you currently can't get me 1 mb/sec of speed on a consistent basis? NO THANK YOU! I'M DONE!

    On the advice of one of the service techs, I called TWO of his bosses, one located here in Durham, NC and the other in AL corporate. I left messages requesting a call to discuss the lines and speed by the suggestion of their service tech. NOTHING, neither one bothered to call me back. (Maybe I should mention names, hummm think that would get their attention?) Guess the problem is all the way to the top! Goodbye Frontier. No wonder your overall rating is a 1! And it's only a 1 because you have to actually click on a star.

    I was approached by a sales representative while at local retailers (Walmart). Was told I could get faster internet access than what I was getting and at a better price than what I was getting with Spectrum. Well, it took a month before it was installed and within 24hr I was experiencing connectivity issue. I was without service for two days. Once it was connected I checked my speed and saw I was at 7 Mbps which is far less than the 100Mbps, I was getting from Spectrum. When I mentioned this I was told I would have to upgrade to get that speed. So I canceled my subscription and went back to Spectrum (all this was within one week). Now I'm getting billed for a predicted month of service and a cancellation fee (which I wouldn't have canceled if I was getting what I was told in the sale pitch) which I'm disputing and it's not about the money be the principle.

    I've used Frontier DSL for many years, and had several poor experiences with them. But we don't have many choices at our home and we felt this was our best option. In August our DSL was out for >12 hours two times. After service was restored the second time, it was dropping randomly for ~20 minutes here and there. That was the end of my patience so I changed service providers and called to cancel our service with Frontier. They are charging me for all of September because they have a policy of not pro-rating the last month. That seems ridiculous since the reason I am canceling is the product reliability is unacceptable (it isn't working). If anything they should refund my August payment since the service was so poor last month.

    This is the worst communications company that I have ever experienced. Their communication skills are pathetic and their customer service skills are horrendous. From the day I got internet and phone service with them it has been a nightmare. They told me that I would receive a gift card in the mail for signing up with them and I never got it and every time I called they would say it was in the mail, I never got it. Whenever there is an issue and I call in, I just get transferred from person to person to person with no resolution. I asked them to remove some type of identity protection service from my account that I was being charged for and it took several months and me threatening to cancel my service before they finally took it off, every time they would say they took it off and I would be charged the next month.

    The final straw was when I called to increase my internet speed and the rep said that she can do it and it will take 24 hours to take effect and 4 days later someone called me and showed up at my house stating while I was at work stating that they were there to do the upgrade, meanwhile the silly rep that I spoke to originally never told me that someone would have to come to my house. Of course I had to cancel because I was not at home, then when I got home my internet was not working and after calling them and getting transferred around, they could not fix it and someone had to come to my house 2 days later to fix it.

    If at all possible avoid Frontier Communications like the plague! For the life of me I can’t understand how they remain in business. I recently spent just shy of 5 hours on the phone with them trying to straighten out a number of their screw ups, all resulting from a simple vacation hold of my telephone and internet services. I won’t bore you with the details but trust me they are as screwed up as a company can possibly get.

    Over the past 10 days I spoke with at least 7 different customer service agents, 3 technicians, and 3 (supposed) supervisors. Their supervisors (if they really are supervisors, I swear they just pass you off on another customer non-service agent) are the worst! Of the 3 that I spoke with, none of them cared about the customer or how badly their company was failing. All were poorly trained and lacked simple social skills to deal with people. Two of them were rude and obviously had attitudes prior to even picking up the phone.

    Many of the customer service agents I spoke with seemed to care but their hands were tied by an archaic system that prevented them from doing anything without scheduling a work order which took several days. The only compensation that anyone could offer me for the hell they put me thru was a few pennies for the time I was without service. My advice to all considering a communication company is to stay as far away from Frontier as possible. A couple of soup cans and a taut string would be preferable.

    Frontier FiOS inherited me as a customer after the Verizon strike. From then on I experienced nothing but Grade "F", bottom of the barrel customer service. I was lied to on more than one occasion about exactly what type of contact I had with them as a result of inheriting them as an internet service provider. One rep would tell me that I was locked in for a year contract while another would tell me that I did not have a contact and could cancel at anytime. I called to terminate my contract a month before I sold my house and moved duty stations (that's how fed up I was at that point. I couldn't tolerate another 30 days). A representative informed me that my services were cancelled however this was not the case. I called back a month later after receiving a bill with an outstanding balance.

    A new rep info informed me that my services were indeed never cancelled in the first place. After explaining what happened, this rep informed me that payment would be waived and that she had stopped my services. My services were indeed stopped but two months later I received another late payment notice! This time, I was told that the previous rep had simply told me what I wanted to hear and that there was nothing they could do about it except ask for a payment from me.

    So they agreed that I was telling the truth, acknowledged a fault on their part and still chose to accept no responsibility for it. I was told there was no other way to escalate this issue any further. Piss poor customer service from top to bottom. As I scan the reviews and ratings I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one.

    To say that Frontier is unstable would be a understatement, which they charge about 30$ to 50$ or more a month for every time you open your bill you will think to yourself is Frontier a legal con job that you have signed up for, which have 2 year contracts which you cannot break or be charged a huge fee.

I was guaranteed that this technician would be a Frontier employee and would have everything needed to complete the work. This guarantee came from the "Office of the President" Gidget and the regional manager for Los Angeles area.

I was told by his manager that the work would need to be rescheduled again because the work involved another department.

    I had to take care of my father's account (pay final bill and close the account) after his passing, and Frontier Communications made the process slow and painful. They kept his account open (and so added charges) after he passed, and gave only a small credit back when they finally closed the account. They then said although the account was closed, they had up to 90 days to issue the credit. One representative said a check would be issued; I requested the check be issued in the name of the estate, as my father had passed. Later when no check had arrived for over a month, I called back and other representatives said a different company would issue a card with the credit; of course, that would do no good, as the estate needs the credit issued in the form of a check to be deposited into the estate account. I was then told I would need to call the other company to request they issue a check instead of a card.

    The helpful representative at the other company determined Frontier Communications (FC) had yet to transfer any info. I called FC again and then they said they would have another 14 -21 days after the 90 days in which to transfer the account info. to the other company for issuing the credit - and, of course, I would need to call the other company again once the 90 + 21 days had passed because the FC reps. had no way of entering the request for a check instead of a card into their own system.

    I wanted to share my experience when I cancelled my Frontier Cable, TV and Phone service. Did you know, when you cancel the service, you will continue to pay for the service until the billing cycle closes? This means, if you cancel on day 1 of your billing cycle, you are paying for 29 days of service you are not receiving anything for.

    I spoke with Frontier Communications customer service staff many times explaining prorating the bill when cancelled is common. After much conversation, I got their customer service staff to agree and issue a credit. However, the promised credit never came, which was a common experience while I had their service. Finally, I spoke with a manager that said they will not issue the promised credit because, again, according to their terms and conditions, they do not issue those credits.

    I complained to the office of the president at Frontier Communications and received my credit but found out something interesting when I spoke with them. I believed this was all a money grab stunt by poor company. However, I was told they made the change because when they used to issue the prorated credit, customers complained at the time it took to issue it. That is because something about the account has to be completed closed. Meaning, equipment returned and any fees paid like termination fees, etc.

    So, think about that. Frontier Communications received complaints about the time it took to give a credit that is very commonly done and I would argue normal practice. Therefore, they decided to stop giving the credit altogether. That, in my opinion, is a company that is completely out of touch, morally bankrupt and encapsulates their poor customer service mindset.

    I was unhappy with my current internet provider and was looking to switch. Frontier happened to send me a great deal on a bundle that would save me money for cable and Internet so I bit. Called them and set up an install date. To much of the people’s dismays on here, no one showed up. It was a Saturday between 1-5 pm. I canceled my Internet that morning and waited around all day with my daughter with the promise someone would show up, and no one did. I work nights and only get so much time with her, so you can understand my frustration. My fiancée is in nursing school and has online assignments with a quiz due the next day. No one called me until after 6 pm after I was already at work.

    They told me they could be out 5 days later to install after I explained the situation. They also told me a technician would call the next morning to try to get a quicker install date, which never happened. So I call customer service and said they “lack the manpower” in my area and couldn’t make it out for 5 more days and would offer me a $25 credit. I’m absolutely offended. Time with family is invaluable, and to only offer me $25 is a joke. They had nothing to say and just asked if I wanted to go ahead and cancel right then, which I happily did. My old internet provider happily gave me a discount after the attempt to switch companies so I stayed with them, and am happy to do so. Now I’m saving more money with them and don’t have to deal with a second rate business that can’t deliver on their promises they make potential customers. Do yourself a favor and don’t even think about giving these people your business.

    Our family recently moved to a new house not far from our old one. We called ahead and let Frontier know that we would be needing them to switch our cable to the new house. No problem. They scheduled a date and time, date and time came around and no one showed up. Called in and the representative told me that the day of the install was supposed to be the following week. So as frustrated as we were we accepted it and waited another week. That day comes around and it just so happened to fall on our daughter's first birthday and my wife and I had errands to run so we called ahead of time and asked if we could be called an hour before the technician was supposed to arrive to ensure we would be home and they agreed said it was no problem and took our number.

    Needless to say no one ever called and we came home around 3 to a card on the door saying “Sorry we missed you, please call to reschedule.” Called again and they admitted no fault on their part and scheduled us out a whole week away again. So all together we have been without service for almost a month. Terrible service and horrible internet speed anyways. We called and canceled our appointment/service and are switching to Spectrum.

    I'm sure everyone reading these reviews have had their share of poor customer experiences with all sorts of companies, me included. However, this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. Do not consider doing business with this company in any way shape or form. I had telephone service with this company for over 2 years at a second home. Went up and found out that the line was dead so I called and asked how long it had been out. Unfortunately they can't tell which is understandable but the only reason I had the line in was to have it hooked up to a system that notified me if the temperature in the home ever dropped below a certain temperature. When I found out that the telephone service could be out and I would never know it, it defeated the purpose of the line so I cancelled the service. The agent cancelled my service and told me what I needed to pay to get my remaining balance to zero which I did.

    The following month I got a bill for close to $90. I called to ask what it was and they said they had scheduled a tech to come out but since they didn't send a tech because I cancelled service, the charge should not be there. They said they couldn't do anything about it right then and I wouldn't be receiving any more bills. Next month I got another bill, called in again and they said the same thing again, don't worry about it. It has to work its way through the process.

    Next month same thing again. Now threatening to send to collections. I got supervisors involved, promised me that the bill was not valid and that there were notes all in the system and that it wouldn't get sent to collections. Now four months later I get a notice of collections in the mail from an outside collections company. Call back again and now they say it is out of their hands and in collections. Customer service supervisor now will not do anything to help get this resolved. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!

    Where to start... Over the past 5 or 6 yrs we've been with this company (previously Verizon) I've had to contact them over various issues, last year it was over the box inside our home, they wouldn't speak to me without my husband's permission because he's the one on the account; after this my husband added me, so most recently I had to notify them about a damaged remote control and once again they said they couldn't help me because I wasn't on the account; my husband added me again. And this past week I had to contact them regarding a damaged cable outside our home, they refused to talk to me once more stating I wasn't on the account, on top of that they made us waste about an hour of our time troubleshooting "just in case" even though we had told them it was the outside cable another cable company had damaged outside.

    When they finally set up the technician to come assess the damage, no one showed up or called. I wasted a whole day waiting for them because they don't give you a precise time of arrival and when I called to see if they were coming they wouldn't tell me because "I wasn't on the account". I asked to speak to a supervisor and she was just as rude if not ruder than her employee. I hate this company's customer service. You would think that for the money you pay (over $175) per month, they would train their employees better... We're seriously considering switching to another provider.

    We had a complete bundle with Frontier (voice, TV, Internet) with Frontier and their predecessor Verizon for over a decade. On June 13th, 2018 (the last day of my cycle), Frontier had an equipment failure with the box outside my house. I alerted their customer service that day and was told it would be 7 days before they could address it. However I was not contacted by Frontier until the 22nd that a serve person would come the next day (Sat, June 23rd).

    Now my wife and I are both virtual employees so this created a lot of issues for us both, including potential loss of income. So we had no choice but to see if a competitor could fill the gap quicker (Spectrum had us up and running on the second day). However, because we wanted to port our number, Spectrum couldn't give the order to Frontier until Monday, June 18th. Despite the fact that I never had another second of service from Frontier after the 13th, Frontier contends that I owe them another full cycle since the actual termination for the number port was the 18th. They have also hit me for an early termination fee (I was one month short of that commitment so I don't contest that). However, I feel that they should not have billed me for another cycle since they knew of their issue on the last day of the prior cycle. Their customer service people contend they are in the right and so I intend to contest this with their legal department.

    For the record, my experience with Frontier is by far the worst customer service I have EVER received. For the second time I took an afternoon off of work to accommodate a 4 hour installation window for a Frontier Technician to install internet. For the second time the technician not only didn't show up at all but no one called or attempted to reschedule the appointment. When I called on Friday to find out if they were coming - I was understandably annoyed and frustrated. Frontier customer service offered very little in the way of apology and absolutely NOTHING in the way of remedy other than me taking another day off work for an appointment they may or may not show up for. I would like to say that I put my order in a month ago and I waited patiently for the dates provided for install and through no fault of mine Frontier did not deliver but I now have to wait another 2 weeks for another appointment.

    Remedy I asked for: Either set a window that has a start of 330pm on a weekday or Saturday. I was told that was simply not possible and that I would to set another window appt as if Frontier hadn't screwed up the last two appointments already. I spent over an hour - mostly on hold - for a question that should have been very simple to work out. I feel like Frontier doesn't give a seconds thought to their customers or to providing any kind of cooperation to get service installed. If there were any other reasonable option for service I would go there instead but there isn't. As of now I have an appointment AGAIN for 8/24 at 8 am. I give you the opportunity to correct the wrong that has been done and work out an install date that can be accomplished sooner and within the parameters of 3:30 pm or after on a weekday or on a Saturday.

    The latest reply from Frontier is that there is now a freeze on installs because the techs are just too busy to keep their appointments. I work for a customer service business and I can tell you that we do not ever treat clients this way - if we screw up we pay overtime or whatever it takes to accommodate our clients and correct mistakes. I asked for a manager's name and the customer service tech put me on hold for a very long time which I can only assume was an attempt to get me to hang up and give up. He never actually gave me anyone's name but promised an email from his boss - to date no email has been received. No phone call has been received. I seriously doubt anyone will contact me. My overall experience is that I was put on hold because I was upset and left there. I didn't yell or swear - I simply requested the service I was promised. Actively seeking mobile hotspot or any other service beside Frontier.

    I have used various internet providers and to say Frontier is the shadiest of the bunch is an understatement. First of all, my sales rep straight up lied to me. $40 a month for 150 Mbps internet, no router fee (because I use my own) and no installation fee, sounded amazing when I was paying $60 a month for 50 Mbps at the time. Sadly none of the promises panned out, but that's not the worst part. Initially I was set up with an installation appointment on a Saturday afternoon. Great, couldn't wait for faster internet. But on that day, no one came, no phone calls either. I called Frontier frustrated and confused because I just wasted a perfect Saturday waiting at home, and they told me they had technical difficulty reaching the technician, but they set me up with another installation the next Saturday. So a week later, I sat in my home bored out of my mind for 5 hours, again, nobody showed up, no phone call, and same excuse.

    This went on for a third and a fourth time, and finally someone showed up to my door 5 hours after the appointment time, tried but couldn't finish the installation so he said he'd come back next business day to finish, and put me on a temporary solution to connect to internet. Great, finally after a month I have internet ---not. He never came back to finish his work, the next appointment is again, no-show; two days after the missed appointment, some technician showed up unexpectedly, couldn't figure out what to do, and left. At this point my internet had stopped working, the Frontier technical support has no idea what to do, whatever they installed was not in their database and their next available technician is next week. That's when I decided that it is not worth the hassle to save a few bucks and went back to Spectrum --- a Spectrum technician came the next day (a Sunday), on time and got my internet working in an hour.

    And just I thought I'm finally free from the terrible service of Frontier, they sent me a bill of $83.39. $40 for monthly service, $25 for installation (the first of 3 installment) and a slap on the face, $5 router fee, plus tax and "equipment transportation fee". On my 6 figure income this is but a trivial amount of money and I was tempted to just pay and get over it, but every time I see the bill I was reminded of this terrible experience they put me through, the disappointment and frustration, so once again I picked up the phone to dispute the charges, and sure enough, they have no record of "free installation" or any of the complaints I've made.

    Well played, Frontier, but I have not yet begun to fight. Your consistent failure and lies have invoked the wrath of a petty individual with nothing better to do. For the $83.39 you wrongfully charged me, I will make it my mission in life to write negative reviews, complain, downvote, dislike until I see you fall, and I pray to God for that day to come.

    Advice to anyone considering doing business with Frontier Communications: Take thousands of dollars and tear them into small pieces. Throw the pieces into a busy intersection and lie down on them. This would be less painful than dealing with this company! To say Frontier Communications is the absolute worst company that we have ever dealt with is an understatement. There is not a word in the English language or any language for that matter that can accurately state what a disaster this company is.

    The number of issues we have had with losing our phone service are far too many to list. Apparently, Frontier thinks so too. When I tried to obtain a list of service tickets we’ve had with them, they were only able to provide 3 – a laughable number considering we’ve had that many in last 2 weeks alone! There is not even a record of the 5 days we had NO PHONES. 5 DAYS! To give a detailed account of each interaction I have had would not only be too long for anyone to read, it would also be impossible to believe. I would be happy to provide examples if requested such as my conversation this morning with their technical support department when our call was dropped while being told there were not an issue to report. At least that’s what I’m told I was being explained since I couldn’t hear anything through all of the static. They considered this a closed ticket.

    Let me explain what that means to a small business like ours. 5 days without phones means 2,430 calls that we would have normally handled were missed. 2,430! There are an average of over 400 calls that go in and out of our office a day. 400 calls that are not only our livelihood, but 400 customer commitments to do our job. You don’t become a top 50 State Farm agent (out of 18, 000) by breaking commitments. That kind of success is based on providing customer service and benefits not found elsewhere – something our customers rely on. Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to deal with a company like Frontier that prevents us from doing our job because they don’t know how to do theirs? It is inexcusable.

    The incompetence that I have experienced in most all interactions is astonishing. Like clockwork, I know the wrong tech will be sent out each and every time no matter how much I emphasize the type of system we have; there will be an issue with forwarding calls and require 3-4 calls. Every time. To pay over $1000 a month for the worst phone and customer service on the planet is absurd. To learn that not only you are paying for all of the times we were without service (including the 5 full days!) we have also been overbilled more than $5,500 for the past 2 years. Which is less than the $6000 Frontier plans to charge us for terminating our services! I have provided documents dating back to 2016 to have this corrected. The last response I had was August 1, 2018 stating it was being looked at. That makes it 2 years and a week.

    I sincerely feel pity for the field employees of Frontier. Frontier’s executives should be ashamed to burden their employees with have to face their customers. The last tech we had was mortified at how his own call center partners were not only talking to him, but to me as the customer. This letter is not intended to correct what cannot be fixed, or to express expectations for a resolution. The only expectations I have from Frontier is that we will not have working phones at some point between now and August 21st when Spectrum installs our new phone lines. I am simply informing those that currently have Frontier or are considering Frontier that you are better off throwing away your money while getting hit by car.

    Internet had severe lag and would go out periodically. 1st technician ended the lengthy call without resolution. 2nd call into technical support. I was on the phone for over an hour while they troubleshooted, at the end of the call they determined it was a faulty router and they would send a replacement and it would arrive in one day. 8 days later I had not received the replacement router.

    3rd call (today) to technical support - held 10 min. then on the phone with a technician that wanted to troubleshoot all over again... for those additional 10 min. I told her that I didn't. This had already been completed for over an hour and on two occasions, that I was just calling to follow up on why the router had not been sent yet. She ignored my question and proceeded to troubleshoot...this went on back and forth for the 10 minutes even after I asked to escalate the call. She asked me another question and I told her that I wasn't answering any more questions until she escalates the call.

    I held for some time for the person to whom the call was escalated. He told me that the router was not sent because after they reviewed what the technician wrote - they decided it was not the router. No one called me to tell me they were not sending the router, No one called me to further discuss what another solution could be. They just ignored the issue, just like they ignored me when I asked to escalate the call.

    When I asked him what are the possible solutions, he didn't have an answer and decided to schedule a technician to come to my location. He also commented that the 2nd technician didn't make hardly any notes as to all the troubleshooting that was completed during that 1+ conversation and the person never even wrote a ticket about the call! Not resolution oriented, ignored me, careless and negligent about their "note taking" during technical assistance.

    It seems to be an odd thing to have to complain about but back in June I called to pay the account for an elderly member and after having paid it I failed to receive the receipt. Two months later after disputing on his credit report Frontier is saying the balance is still owed but then retracted and said it was odd that I called back for the receipt from the payment. I resist all urge at sarcasm here. It took hours on the phone and multiple managers to get them to pull the call recordings to verify the payment made, the verification code, and see where they misapplied the money to. This will take days. The lack of company responsibility to adequately problem solve is appalling. This should have been much simpler, less time consuming and done with the integrity of a cognitively capable adult trained to problem solve efficiently.

I have spent hours on the phone w/ Frontier's customer service since the outage, they have committed multiple times to call me with an update and have NEVER called or texted to update.

    We work from home, and this has had significant negative impact on our ability to get work done. Frontier's customer service has been unwilling or unable to escalate this situation. They are selling a service that is not delivering the speeds it promises, the service is not stable and continues to crash, and their customer service is both making inaccurate commitments as to dates and is not bothering to call or text me - as they promised to - with updates.

    I was a 4 year customer, starting with Verizon. I had a DVD go bad. They sent a new one, (I returned the old one) promised me a credit for the two weeks, but then the credit was denied because of poor records, even though it showed they sent me new equipment. No chance to appeal or talk to a supervisor. So I decided to discontinue service, now they owe me credit for the balance of the month and they have sent me a bill for the next month. What a racket... No wonder they are in financial trouble. I planned to start up again in January, but no way. Customer retention seem to be a low priority. I have received a notice to return my equipment, even though Anthony who stopped service said it was used equipment and not to return it. I was promised another bill if I keep it. They will get it when I get my credit. Dug in.

    We live in a semi-rural area and our internet service has always been terrible; frequently goes out, so very sloooow and downloads are torture. We, along with many neighboring households, have complained and asked if anything could be done to increase our speed. We've been told that we could have faster internet immediately if a new switch was installed. Management refuses to install a new switch. Why? Unfortunately where we live Frontier is our only choice for internet. Not hard to see why they won't install a new switch. They have us and they know it. So frustrating and completely unacceptable.

    July 2nd, 2018 I was driving on Hwy #776 Englewood Fl. I had a Frontier repair truck driving terrible. He was no more than 6-7 foot off my bumper. I was driving 54 mph in a 45 mph zone. He was blinking his lights moving his hands to get over. There was another car right to my right. As I passed that car the service truck passed me on the right and fingered me. I don't think you want me or anyone else to perceive your company with this sort of actions. It was approx. 10:50 AM. Caught up to him at the traffic light. Snapped a picture.

    My mother, who is in her 90s, got her Frontier bill yesterday, with an increase of $29, saying it was for some HD something. She has no HD channels. She was upset, and called into customer service, waiting for over an hour. The customer rep said that her credit had expired. No notice, no warning, nothing in the bill indicating why the bill was increased. The rep said she found a package for her. Mom had told her she wanted sports channels, cable news channels, shopping, cooking, game show. Within about 15 minutes, Mom only had shopping and local channels. She called back to the rep, who said to call back by 11 p.m., got a different rep who said she'd have to wait 24 hours now. I had an elderly woman crying to me late last night.

    I posted it on their Facebook page, was told to contact them via PM, so I did. It's been piecemeal communications - I need her account number or birthdate. I was told I had her birthdate wrong. Uh, no, you clowns must have it wrong. This was while I tried to work at my job today (which I couldn't monitor personal email and do a good job with my work, something they're not familiar with). She's still very upset. I guess the only plus is that they've not turned off her phone - yet. Supposedly this dingdong with their social media accounts is going to fix it. I have my doubts. I have DirecTV, and other than weather interruptions, I've not encountered crap like this with them. When I've had problems, I can go to their forums or chat immediately with a tech who helps.

    This company is the worst at communication amongst its own staff even though it claims to be a "Communications" company. Never in my life had I had to battle so hard to have a bill explained and reassured multiple times that it had been scuttled. It wasn't until my 6th phone call and numerous promises that my bill had been settled that I finally received a Collections notice from a collections agency that I finally succumbed and paid the bill to avoid it going on my Credit report. This company is full of complacent liars and absolutely terrible customer service as well as promised service being provided.

    I acquired service from Frontier for basic DSL Internet, but instead was signed up for bundled service even after I repeatedly refused the bundle package. Once service had been connected I checked my internet speed and it was extremely under what was promised for the speed I was purchasing. After speaking with a technician I was notified that the company was unable to provide with the speed that I had been paying for due lack of infrastructure in my area. I understood and rightfully declined further service after 24 hours of having service provided. I called Customer Service to cancel the service due to the lack of ability to serve me and my needs that I had purchased. I was assured that I would not be billed for the 48 hours of service and that service would be cut immediately.

    The following week I received a bill that I was promised wouldn't be charged. I called Customer service another 6 times to scuttle the bill and each time I was assured by the Representative that the account had been closed and no bill would be seen. Well that was a huge lie to my face, and after continuous complaints and pleading to speak with Management I was told that I had to pay it or it would be sent to collections.

    The Customer service agent was named Dillon and he told me per his Supervisor named Matt ** that I had to pay it as it is not in Frontier's interest to take care of their customers, and it is against their policy to remove accounts. I will be sure to report them to the BBB, and will continuously encourage other potential customers to avoid ever doing business with Frontier Communications!

    I wanted to disconnect landline and increase speed. Did so happily on Friday and gave them a positive review when survey came. Saturday. My son finds out our internet wasn't increased to the amount they said they'd provide and I was paying for. Leave a message for the consultant no answer. Monday, leave a message, no answer. Call another rep. after 10 minutes, get disconnected. I gave my phone number, they don't give their's if you're downgrading. Call another rep. Ask for their number (won't give theirs), can't give me the service I used to have because I was grandfathered in. We're talking now a difference of $10/month.

    Why pay for 50/50 speed from a business day ago when I'm not even getting 10? Ask for a supervisor. Disconnected. They don't call back. Call again and explain everything, I'm sent right to "retention" and that guy can't do anything. I'm like you need to train your salespeople better --so they mention frontier can't guarantee the speed unless it's hardwired vs wifi- and then trap you into a higher contract.

    Also, the poor guy in retention had me on the phone for 47 minutes trying to rebundle me to get me back to the $10/month I was paying 1 business day ago. AND he couldn't find a way. All this time, my son was on with SPECTRUM. They could offer me 100/100 and hardwire computer (we'd relocate), plus same channels, and DODGER games. Frontier lost a customer over $10/month and their mishandling/--but they don't care. I'm sure it's the company policy and not the people.

    BUT, get this-- when I had the positive experience on Friday, I was given the survey to complete. When, I had the bad experience yesterday, I was never given the survey to complete. So, Frontier misguides its people, because they're only issuing the survey to those they select. Hopefully better treatment from Spectrum. We shall see.

    I signed up for them because I was told that they owned the phone number I needed for my business. I found out later that they lied to me. I signed up for a 2 year contract. When it was up I switched to someone else. A month later I received a $3600 bill from Frontier. When I inquired I was told that because I did not send them a notice that I was canceling the account it automatically renewed and that I owed a $3000 early termination fee. I could not pay it so I was told that in order to not pay the fee I had to resign up for Frontier and pay all the fees like I was a new business customer which was around $600. If that was not enough, I was still getting $3000 bills for 3 or 4 months and I had to call and spend hours on the phone explaining each and every time.

    Now I just tried to pay my bill online and the site is down. I called them and was told that I could pay over the phone but that there was a $3.50 fee. I told them that it was not my fault that their site was down and that I needed to pay it or I would be late. Did not matter to them. Either I pay it over the phone or incur a late fee.

    Maybe I just missed it but it would be nice to be able to post a Google review rather than here. More visibility. But either way these are more of a tool to vent rather than having any expectations that something will change. I just opened my second account with Frontier. I won't go into details because it is irrelevant. But when I called to begin service I was given an install date that was about 14 days out. Pretty much everything I do requires me having an internet connection and I also work from home so this was a big deal. But I dealt with it. On the day of the installation I had been given an appointment time frame of 9 am to 1 pm. I know this simply meant the technician could be at my home any time during that time frame. However, at about 12:58 pm he called saying he was going to be 45 min to an hour late. So I waited and waited. Just before 3 pm he knocked on my door. He was nice enough but offered no apology whatsoever for being late.

    The "installation" consisted of plugging my router into the wall and then making a 5 min phone call to turn the internet and phone service on. All together the technician was at my home for about 15 min and about 10 min of that was just small talk. When I got my bill about a week later I was happy to see that they did not charge an installation fee as promised but they did charge a $3 VoIP Administrative Fee and a $10 Equipment Delivery and Handling Fee. The Equipment Delivery and Handling Fee was for the technician to transport the router to my home.

    I chatted with a Frontier rep later about this and their explanation was that they were basically passing along their shipping charge to the customer. I didn't ask about the VoIP fee but my guess is that it was basically the phone call the technician made to his home office in order to have the service turned on. I tried to state my case as to how these kind of fees are unfair to the customer and at the very least new customers should be made aware of the fees prior to signing up for service. But all I got was an "I'm sorry" but it was obvious the rep didn't care. I realize these sorts of practices aren't new and are ubiquitous but it doesn't make it right. But this is what happens when there is little competition in a particular market, especially in telecoms.

    Updated on 08/03/2018: I was hoping I could update my review or edit it in some way but I did not see an option for that so I am writing another review. I have now deducted another star. The reason for this is I received a response from a Frontier representative via this website asking me to email them directly at **. They wanted my account info which raised an alarm. In an attempt to summarize my interaction I never could get the Frontier rep to satisfactorily confirm they were a Frontier employee but I took a chance and offered my account number. I expressed skepticism to the rep as to how they would be able to resolve anything but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    The final response from the rep (after some email exchanges) basically reiterated everything I had already covered in my initial review and repeated everything I already knew. I speculate that the representative from Frontier is tasked with combing through negative online reviews and then giving the impression they are resolving customer complaints without actually doing anything. I imagine that is one of the reasons the rep asked that I email them directly rather than handling the issue publicly.

The salesmen were very nice and friendly and assured us that we would love their service and if for any reason we unsatisfied we can cancel with no cancellation fee as long as we cancel within 30 days of installation and we would only be billed for the days we had the service for (Biggest lie ever). The technician arrive the following week to install the service, left halfway without saying a word, came back a few hours later to finish the installation and left again without a word which annoyed my husband. This was the start to an awful experience.

    The internet service was slow, the TV froze halfway between shows, and then when you pick up the house phone to call someone you heard someone else on the line. We didn't care for the service and didn't want to deal hassle so we decided to cancel before the 30 days were up. When we called to cancel the CSR said that they have NO 30 day trial period and that we would have to pay for the cancellation fee and they don't offer pro-rated service so we would have to pay for the entire month even though we used the service for 15 days.

    I told the representative that, that was not the information that was provided to me by the outside salesmen. I call the salesman and explained the situation to him and he said the CSR that by law we have a 30 day trial period with no cancellation fee in the state of California.

    Be aware of this company marketing scam. They promised me a very good service for a reasonable price. After I verbally agreed to subscribe, they told me they would charge me a $ 75 for installation. They also told me this was a no contract service agreement and I could cancel anytime. They told me even the installation fee would be refunded if I decide to cancel within 60 days. The installation technician came and after he finished he made me sign on the screen of a tablet. You just sign with your finger with no chance to read the agreement. He told me I was agreeing with his work installing and explaining everything. I'm writing this a little over a month since installation. I'm tired of calling to complain and be put on hold for a long time. I hung up after 15 minutes on hold.

    The service is nonexisting, to say the least. Completely unreliable, the signal goes on and off every few minutes. At the beginning I thought it was due to the weather but it happened even when weather was good with no rain or wind. I called several times and they promised to fix it. Finally I was told a service technician would come home to check everything. I set up an electronic money transfer with my bank (Citibank) and the day the service was supposed to come I got a call saying the visit of the service was cancelled because my account was also cancelled for no payment. I check with Citibank to see if there was a problem with the payment but they say the payment went through normally.

We went 2 and a half weeks with no TV or internet. Finally called Spectrum and had service the next day. My aunt and uncle just moved into an independent living facility.

    First, let me say as a stockholder in this company that recently went through a -22 to 1 stock split and dealing with them on a customer level I can see why they are in a downward spiral. They don't know what customer service is after they get you as a customer. In June of 2017, I was so fed up with my internet service I decided to upgrade my speed as at peak times I was going down to less than 1 Mbps. Nonpeak times I would get about 8 Mbps. After Frontier switched trunks and worked on my system multiple times my speed would still drop to 1 Mbps at peak times. I decided to upgrade to a new service they offered at 24 Mbps. I have been with Verizon then Frontier since 1999 and have upgraded my service a couple of times over the years. During a couple of upgrades, my router had to be changed to allow for a faster speed.

    At no time in the past have I ever paid for a router when doing an upgrade to a faster speed. In June 2017 I went online and found the new service offered at 24 Mbps. I had to enter my street address to see if it was available in my neighborhood and at that time took a screenshot of the offer. The offer clearly states the router is Free for Life! Move to July 2018 and all of the sudden I start getting billed $9.99 a month for the router. At the same time I did my upgrade order, my neighbor upgraded as well and the same thing happened to him - we were both shocked because when we did our orders with customer service there was never anything said about the $9.99 router fee after a year. We both called customer service and were told that it says on our bills that the router was free for the first year then there would be a $9.99 charge per month.

    My bill only says the word "term" 6/17 to 6/18 and shows the $0.00 charge for the router - that’s it! I made multiple calls to customer service telling them I have it in writing that the router was supposed to be free for life and their responses are, “We never offered a free router” or “We never offered the service” I have in California and many other excuses - all that are lies. Keep in mind to obtain the screenshots I have included I had to put in my complete address to see if it was available in my neighborhood!

    After many hours of phone calls to customer service to supervisors, they refuse to remove the router charge. If you do a Google search on Frontier Communication you will see I am not alone. They have all kinds of ways to steal money from their customers. They have to be the worst company on the planet I have ever dealt with by far. So if you do be careful, document everything and get as much proof as possible because after they get a commitment from you everything changes!

The guy said he's so sorry and he had talked to his supervisor that will give me first month for free as credit. Threaten me that if I insist to cancel I need to pay $75 breaking out fee. He also guaranteed me the router will arrive on 16th.

    On 16th, without any surprise, nothing came in. I canceled my order and their sales has no idea about my deposit. After discuss with co workers he said it will come back to my account after several days. Checked with them again yesterday 19th. This lady told me I won't get my deposit back and I have to pay my first month bill because I BROKE THE CONTRACT that didn't use their service for a year! I asked, "Why you didn't tell me on the day I cancel my order?" She said she doesn't know. She can't help. That's it and hang me up! I wasted over 6 hours on phone and 3 weeks to get my network. They never delivered me their service and charge me for $100! They should pay me for their fault! Don't do anything with them. Every time you call them they will tell you different stories. They are the worst company I've ever seen! STAY AWAY from Frontier Communications!

    Frontier survives by having bottom barrel prices, but in today's market that pretty much guarantees a rock bottom service. That is very much what you receive with frontier. I was a loyal customer for over a year. Always paid my bill in advance and then when I started having issues I contacted customer support. The first guy I talked to did his job, that is he verbally walked me in circles and said a technician would be available in a full weeks time. Meaning I would be without service for at least a week. Of course that is unacceptable so I politely asked to speak with a supervisor.

    So I remained on hold and was eventually told that the supervisor REFUSED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I could not believe it! After that I'll admit I stopped being polite and threatened to cancel my service. So of course then the supervisor eventually gets on the line and was completely uncaring and unhelpful. So I told him to connect me to the retention department who put forth no effort into actually retaining me (They must be used to losing customers in exactly this fashion) and I disconnected my service on the spot. 0/10 please do not give these people your money. They make Comcast look good.

    Our phone went out Sunday night. We are seniors in a CELL DEAD ZONE! Called Frontier Monday, said they would be out Wednesday. The 18th. If we didn't take that appt. could not be here till the 26th. Supposed to come between 8AM and 5PM. At 5:30 no one had come. Had to use computer chat, waited a half hour, was told he wouldn't start a call after 5PM, if he wasn't here. OK, surprise showed up at 6:30PM. OK, couldn't find the problem, went down the road, came back at 7:30PM. Still couldn't find the problem. Said he would return first thing today. Called today, they said dispatch couldn't give me a more definite time.

    SO waiting another day, without service. Have to go 2.5 miles down the road for cell service. As Seniors this is unacceptable, should we have an emergency. Had Frontier for years, but changed to cable as it was less expensive. When we switched to Frontier, service out the next day. The installer had left the box open and we had a storm > no phone! Decided to return to Frontier as we had a lot of cable/phone outages. Since they have downsized awful service. Am thinking of returning to cable!

    I had Frontier for over 2 years when my Apartment Complex basically made us turn to Spectrum. I cancelled my Frontier and returned the equipment via UPS on 4/9/18 in the boxes that were mailed to me from Frontier. The lady at the UPS store told me to keep the tracking label because "it's Frontier". In June I received a statement from a Collection Agency for $1,372.00 for unreturned equipment. I immediately contacted Frontier with the confirmation from UPS that the equipment had been returned and signed for. Also questioning the Billing statement from the Collection Agency for $1,372.00. Frontier told me they actually owed me $126.00 credit. So now this report is on my Credit Report and after speaking with Frontier again yesterday they cannot help me and I would need to contact the Collection Agency and dispute the matter. This has been a complete nightmare. Never again Frontier!!! This is why you will be out of business soon.

    We have had service lose more than 40 times in a month. When called this time, as always 30-50 minutes on phone, yep it is not connected! Big surprise! The tech was very friendly, very courteous, however we have a service date of August 10, today is July 18. For more than fifty bucks a month why the hell isn't there more providers available in this area? Perfect for Frontier. No service costs no competition, sucks for consumers.

    Prior to switching to Frontier I called to get quotes, all sounded great, so I switched. HUGE MISTAKE. From day one of installation it was horrible. I was assured all 3 tvs would be up and running, internet working and phone active, BEFORE the tech left. The tech wouldn't have anything to do with 2 tvs as he was told they don't have boxes to be attached and the work order says one tv. He was not very nice about it either. I was in a tither knowing he was leaving and 2 tvs were not working. I never checked the phone. My landline phone was connected to a call system for my mother who is handicapped, so it had to be working, it wasn't!!

    I immediately called and reported this and I felt like they didn't care about my situation. It would be 5 days before someone could come out. Why did it only take a day for you to be willing to come out to install new service, but it takes 5 days for you to fix services you didn't complete. The next day I had no internet service! It took almost 3 weeks for someone to come back and bury the cable wires, which resulted in not being able to cut the grass in that area.

    Ok the first bill came, OMG it was nothing that was quoted to me, so I call. I'm given a crazy story that it's a partial bill for this month and a full bill for that month. WHATEVER, I paid the bill. The next bill, way off!! Frontier quotes you a price to reel you in and then bills you a higher amount. What kind of business is this? I fought with this company for 6 1/2 months and couldn't deal with it anymore, so I cancelled, then they have the nerve to bill me for a full month of service. UNBELIEVABLE - ANYONE READING THIS SAVE YOURSELF AGGRAVATION AND $$$. DON'T GO TO FRONTIER. Sincerely wish you the best if you do, be prepared to pay more than you were quoted.

    Absolutely ridiculous that it takes over 2 weeks just for your employees to come and set up the internet. After we have to reschedule two weeks later because no one informed us that someone 18 or over has to be at our place they then don't even show up at the time they were scheduled to and so we call and apparently there was some "misunderstanding" and now we have to wait another day. At this point we really just don't want Frontier internet but we have already waited too long. We are really close to just calling and canceling everything. If you're interested in getting Frontier internet I guarantee you you will be highly dissatisfied and will regret it based on my family's experience and other reviews I have read.

    I called and requested Frontier Internet service. I was charged a $35 deposit after Frontier confirmed they provided Internet service in Downey, CA. They came to my residence and were unable to install Internet. I called and requested a refund of my $35. They said it would be refunded automatically. It never happened. I have been calling for over a month and every time I call they claim they are unable to find my account. The customer service representatives are awful and rude. To this day, they have not refunded my deposit.

    IF I could give this company a 0 Star I would. We had our flight cancelled at the last minute due to a time out for the pilot and crew after 3 delays beforehand. They did NOTHING to help us get to our destination. They could care less that we were stuck in the airport because they had no more flights going out. We had to re ticket at a REAL AIRLINES SOUTHWEST and we were actually treated like humans after running thru the airport to catch the last flight out. When we had our return flight we sat in row one where we could hear the Stewards all night talking about the other Stewards in the rear of the plane. They gossiped so much that they FORGOT TO DO SERVICE!! So we all flew 4.5hrs with no water or a snack and when the passengers asked for some water the Stewards made remarks about the passengers as if they were bothering them.

    A passenger said, "These seats are so uncomfortable." His reply was, "I didn't make the seats. We are the leaders in the industry and this plane is only a year old." Here is a suggestion try cleaning your year old plane. It was DIRTY. Stop gossiping and pay mind to the passengers who pay your salary instead of arguing with them have some compassion... They even were helping each other with how to manipulate the time clock so they could get the company for more hours. WOW this was so bad I hope Frontier contacts me so I could go into detail...OR MAYBE THEY WON'T CARE!!! Spread the word. This is NOT an airlines you want to fly!!!

    Never overpay Frontier a penny. It will take 90 days to get your money back. Think of all the interest they are earning. Every time you call they will tell you something different. I think the government should look into this. And the service is the very bad both customer or equipment.
