    Frontier wants me to pay the modem/router after I closed my account. I told them I did ship the modem/router back. They claim that they never received the part. I was able to get the tracking number from UPS and track it down to their warehouse and sign for it. They will not cancel my bill because they can't find it in their warehouse. What the hell I am suppose to do? They say that they will flag my account and look for the part again.

    I have been without internet for 2 days. The whole month of January has been on and off. I was sent a new internet box. Took a week. Call and talk to tech support. They show no outage. Now waiting for someone to call me. It will take a week.

    Frontier missed two separate installation appointment. They did not call or notify us that they would miss either appointment. My wife missed work on 2 back to back days to be home for the installation appointment. I had to call on the evening of both appointments to find out that they would not be there that day. One day I was told that they had the wrong address, but miraculously they had the correct address without me giving it to them.

    It was told that I would get a $25 credit for each missed appointment and there was no credit when they sent out the first bill. When I called, I was told that they only showed that their records only showed that they missed one appointment. Terrible record keeping on their end. I was on hold for 20 minutes to get the limited help that I did get.

    Be aware that there are additional charges than what was quoted online. The screen showed that the monthly bill would be $53.99/month with additional surcharges instead of $50.00/month advertised. The actual monthly bill is about $3.50/month more than the $53.99/month amount I was shown for due monthly when I signed up (I took a picture).

    I ordered Frontier Wifi on December 28, 2018. I was suppose to receive installation on January 10, 2019 but I was also put on a call list in case someone cancelled they could come earlier. On January 10, 2019 When I arrived home, and asked the person I had to have stay at my house, if the wifi technician had been there yet, and they said no one had came. I called the customer service number. After going over codes with her supervisor I was told the technician was still at another customer’s home and was having a few technical difficulties but that someone would still be to my home to install the internet.

    As 10pm came around, I went to bed. I called the next day on January 11, 2019 and talked to another customer representative. She apologized and set me up with another installation date and apologized that no one had called me the night before to tell me that no one would be there. She said that since I had to go thru all of that, that she would credit my account $75. My new installation date would be January 25, 2019. Again, when I returned home and asked the person who I had to have stay at my house if the technician had come, they said no! So I called customer service again.

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

    Wondering why if they knew they couldn't offer me service was I told they could and why I never received any phone calls from them, that I had to call and check on my status. I specifically asked when I first ordered if I would be able to get service because I live in the country and that not too many people offer it, she checked to see and I was told yes I would be able to! I cannot believe that a company that has so many people working for them, can't get on a system where they communicate with each other. I do not recommend this company, and I hope that someday if they do decide to try to stay in business that they get someone else to manage and run their business before they lose all of their customers.

    Frontier was decent to me for 4 years until I tried to cancel. Then they will make you pay for another month of service even after I asked specifically asked if there was anything more I needed to do and was assured that I was good to go by the representative. I saw a charge come through in my bank account and I called just to be told it's company policy to charge an extra month to disconnect services.

    I do not have a contract and was month to month with them, furthermore they charged equipment rental for 3 years on an old Verizon router I had previously owned. I never had any updated or Frontier branded equipment so now they continue trying to raise the final bill and charge me for nothing. No service rendered so if they want the money take it from years of charging me rental on the Verizon router...a router I twice tried to return and was told it was too old, they did not need it back... Garbage company. I am about to report fraud if they do not stop attempting to make charges they are not entitled to.

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

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

    This has been the absolute worse service and customer service I’ve ever received between the representatives and dispatchers. Original installation date was January 9th, then rescheduled for January 23. Now it’s January 24th and guess what? I still don’t have my wifi. They NEVER reach out to me so I will never know anything if I don’t call them. They rescheduled for the 29th. Let’s see if they’ll really get their job done. I will never recommend anyone to get Frontier ever!

    Frontier has been the worst service I have ever had. They only continue to be our service because we have no other choice in our town. When the account was under my husband's name they overcharged our account 3 different times by $100. No one was ever able to fix the problem each time having to spend over 2 HOURS on the phone! This got so bad we disconnected service and reopened under my name. Now Only 3 MONTHS IN, they have LOST my PAYMENT!! I am looking at my account right now showing the money taken from my account! I have had to now repay the money and have to wait for an investigation to get my money back. Who knows if I will see it back or how long it be.

    They have proven time and time again how none of their representatives know a thing about what is going on. I know none of this is being taken care of due to all the terrible reviews I have read on top of mine. Money hungry company who has no care for customer service or quality! That is how this company comes off to me. Please if you have another option pay the extra money for another service because they will only cause you headache. This is NOT EXAGGERATED.

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

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

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

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

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

    Upgraded service to the 150/150 at a set price on a 2 year contract. This was supposed to fix all the speed & connectivity issues that we had fought with them about for YEARS. The first bill did not match price quoted, after numerous calls & elevations to higher management, finally got bill corrected. At end of first year, got notice my bill was going up due to some credit I had been getting had been discontinued. They refused to honor price quoted for the 2 year period. Luckily, we sold our home & I got to cancel my service. Bad news, sticking me with termination charges on a contract they refused to honor... except for the 2 year part. Worst customer service I have ever dealt with. Will NEVER do business with them again and strongly advise others to find a company other than Frontier to do business with.

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

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

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

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

    Frontier takes days not minutes to processes a payment. Why? All major companies and even most small companies can process a payment within minutes. Not hours or days like Frontier. And to make it worst knowing that they have a slow process once they have your card info in their system and being processed they should turn on your service while their antiquated technology processes your payment.

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

    Next, 50/50 network speed was too slow so I wanted the 200/200 speed. Fine, two days to get it hooked up. Had 8-12 time frame set up. Called to see what’s up and tech had truck problems. Understandable, but a simple phone call would have been great. Oh, I figured I might as well add promo for HBO and other premium shows for three months? Nope, service for 200/200 had to be done first. Really? So again I wish I had read reviews prior to installation. My bad. It's going to be a long two years. You may be thinking what was problem with Spectrum? Pricing, went from $127 to $180 to $210 in 6 months.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I paid my last ridiculous bill with Frontier in Tampa last week. Had to cut the TV because I could no longer afford their service, although I had bare minimum no frills TV. I raise my three grand-daughters so money is tight. With school they have to have internet, so had to keep that. Been a customer forever (since 1984) and they do not care. It is all about the money now. I always pay my bill online as I do all my bills. I submitted my final payment of $170.10 and it showed an error message that it did not submit and had to select the back key to make sure my information was correct. I did, and did it again and it went through.

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

    Customer Service is useless when reps are obviously told not to refund any payments even when it is their own error. I now will have to find out who to call to report what should be illegal. I will also call my credit union tomorrow. I will report this to Better Business Bureau and the Consumer Protection Agency. Frontier really needs to get their act together. Frankly with all the devices you can get now, who needs their TV anyhow? We are doing fine without it. They need to recognize their need to retain the customers they have.

    We have been customers of Frontier back when it was Verizon that owned Fios. We are trying to upgrade our boxes that are very old and internet speed and were told that if we did we would lose all 15 movies we had purchased at $20 a pop on their on-demand service. They said that we would have to re buy them. :( We are keeping our old equipment which is faulty for now till they have a tech which is $99 just to show up and troubleshoot. If he says we have to upgrade we lose our library of movies that we paid for. Seems so unfair. The only other provider here in Tampa is Spectrum and I haven't read anything good about them either. Just wanted to let people know you might not want to buy on demand as it is not transferable if they ever have to upgrade or replace your box.

    I went to the website to order new service for my home. The website advertised that the $100 deposit/install fee would be waived. I proceeded to set up service and did everything it prompted me to do in order to receive my $200 Visa gift card and for the $100 to be waived. After completing my order it stated my total out of pocket today would be .87 Cents (I guess I had that much remaining on a prior bill) but after submitting the order I was charged $100.87, that's the deposit that was supposed to have been waived.

    I then started a chat with customer support and not only did Christine ** the customer support Specialist not listen to ANY of my concerns, she kept directing me to a different company telling me basically that it was their fault and not her problem. She would not help me so I cancelled the chat and called support. After being on hold for quite some time as the CSP was trying to figure out what went wrong. She told me her supervisors will not let her waive the fee and that it was a Black Friday promotion (It's January 16th and way past Black Friday). I was then told that in order for me to get a refund I would have to cancel my order.

    So not only does Frontier false advertise and not honor what they advertise they also do not care about their current or future customers. I have dealt with Frontier several times in the last 2 years and not one time have I had a good experience. Unfortunately Frontier is the only service provider in my area and my options are to either have internet or not have it. After this experience I would rather not have it than give my hard earned money to a company that can't even honor what they advertise and then try and back it up with nothing but lies. Frontier will rip you off any way they possibly can, they lie and will not honor their advertisements! Don't give your money to this company if you have any other options for service. You will regret doing business with them.

    Internet speed and tc on par with Comcast, Customer Service the worst. Took weeks to get through to someone for service. Finally decided to Disconnect after a year of problems and end of my contract with them. Made sure they were paid completely, should have been the end of it. But later received a notice I owed them another $300+ dollars for unreturned equipment, that I did mail back to them. There is the rub, you have to mail all equipment back to them instead of talking to a local office that can give you a receipt. There are tons of complaints similar to this one, they just conveniently lose all records of your equipment being returned. They ended up sending me to collections, bad idea, as I documented everything, and had tracking numbers for everything sent back. Long story short they backed off, removed collection, and apologized.

    I tried to have internet installed as a gift to my father way before Christmas (October 2018) - after prepaying, on 3 separate occasions the technicians were no call no shows on 4 hour window scheduled appointments over a month timeframe... At that point, of course I cancelled services, and spent no less than 2 hours each on the phone on 2 separate occasions to get refunded. (The first time I waited the 2 weeks after calling without the promised refund being refunded, then had to start over, and was finally refunded.) I have since been receiving bills and past due notices of services never rendered, and again spent numerous hours on phone to have bills ceased, constantly getting routed in a loop and/or being told I'd get transferred to the proper department only to be routed back to the first menu...

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

    I am copying and pasting this, along with a copy of my bill today, and will continue to do so on all media platforms I can until my billing for services I've not received, for an account that has been cancelled due to no installation, and therefore zero service, has stopped. At this point, an apology from Frontier would be welcome, actually, expected. My name is Jason **, and the service area is northeast Ohio.

    We were quoted a certain price for cable and internet but our bill each month was at least $20 higher. The account was in my wife's name so she would have to call every month and spend over an hour on the phone with customer service telling them to look through the account notes to see that a supervisor offered us this price. She got tired of calling every month so we changed the account into my name so that I could deal with them.

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

Returned second DVR box and router in packing provided, sure enough another bill for more unreturned equipment, provided tracking number and they again said it would be fixed and now a letter saying they will send me to collections...

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

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

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

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

I had to have my credit pulled again and qualify all over again. Did I say Horrible company?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Called to cancel on 12-15-18, got my bill but - having learned to be careful, I asked to be sure the service was cancelled.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I ordered Frontier FIOS installation 5 weeks ago and have yet to get it installed. The technician doesn't show up for the appointment, doesn't call, doesn't message, doesn't email, and never contacts to reschedule an appointment. After contacting customer service, someone (technician or agent?) lied and said that they came and I wasn't there. Complete lie since I run a business from home with many people there at all times. Then they don't reschedule for weeks later. Customer service basically trying to blame me for them failing to show up several times for 5 weeks! I can actually understand the delay if they're busy, but lying and blaming me is absolutely scummy, dirty, low-down BS.

    Internet continuously would drop and had to re-boot multiple times a day, talked to customer service many times with no results, they simply didn't care that my internet wasn't consistent! When I finally couldn't take it anymore I cancelled my service, received a cancellation number and was told that my account wouldn't be charged anymore as I cancelled prior to billing cycle.

    The following month I received a bill so I called them and was told that it was computer generated and to disregard it, 2 months later I get a letter from a collection agency to pay the bill, which I then called Frontier back and after 2 dropped calls and 4 different people and an hour later I finally got a so-called supervisor (Jacquelyn) I believe who basically said there was nothing she could do about it and that I owed the money and to pay the collection agency, terribly rude and didn't care one little bit as to what I'd been told before. Bad company with no care other than ripping off their clients!!! DO NOT use this company!!!

    I am a 75 year old retiree. I canceled Frontier service after I was told it would take 3 weeks to repair the service. I had a business so I could not live with this kind of service. (Tech ticket #**) Indicates the date 6/20/2017 I canceled the account. I was being charged $208 per month until last month when I checked my AMEX account and realized they were still hitting my card each month. I had 3 other rentals and didn't check my statement and just didn't realize I had been paying for my residential account all that time. It is over $3000 that they had taken from me and after spending hours on the phone and being told at the store that there was no person to help I am considering taking this to the police department and charging them with theft of an elderly person.

    Like many other reviews posted here there's a common denominator - false billing, no customer service, threats to report us to credit bureaus. Time to have the state Attorney General take a real good look at Frontier Communications. There's enough complaints to launch a class action lawsuit against these thieves. I canceled three months ago. Not only did Frontier take an additional month's fee after I moved, they are sending me monthly bills for another month. This is the third month they've sent bills after I canceled. Fortunately I did stop the auto pay. They need to be hit in the wallet, that usually works. Anyone considering FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS here's a pithy tip - run. Run like hell. Stay far, far away from this company.

    I've had Frontier Communications (internet only) for a while now and upgraded to their Simply Broadband Ultimate package (25 Mbps internet). I only get between 7 Mbps to 11 Mbps which is the speed for their Simply Broadband Ultra package which is two speed packages below (12 Mbps). I get billed for the higher plan every month but never get anywhere close to what I'm paying for.

    When I first ordered the upgrade installation, they did not show up or call on three separate occasions. I set an appointment on 12/18/2018 for 1/3/2018 between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. They did not call or show up. Because of my past experience, I called at 2:00 PM and 4:30 PM to confirm the appointment, on both calls I was told the tech was still coming. At 5:30 PM I called and they said that nobody was coming and that they could come on 1/4/2018 which was the next day. On 1/4/2018 I called at 11:34 AM to confirm once again, they said someone will be here today. If they don't come today, this will be the 5th no-show from Frontier Communications; this seems to be the normal operation for the company. If you Youtube, Reddit, Google Review or any social media, you will find thousands of people that experience the lack of service and no-show appointments.

    Frontier Communications has treated myself and other customer very poorly and continue to charge me for a service that they're not providing. There are only two options in my part Medina county for internet. I'm actually thinking about moving out of this city because of the poor internet service and lack of customer service from this company. I am one of thousands of people who are not getting the service that I'm paying for from Frontier Communications. They want all of their money; I want all of my service. I'm sending a letter to the Attorney General to express my concerns as well. I'm not sure how the company is in business, especially after all of the stories that I've read from people with medical conditions, businesses and the self-employed that go days without services that they get billed for.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    After a poor review on Consumer Affairs and a separate contact with Better Business Bureau, we were informed we owed nothing... How nice of them NOT to charge us for a period for which we were not receiving any service!!!! Well, Frontier strikes again!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Each representative claims that they don't have authority to make credits when they agree there are errors or problems in bills.

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

She put me on hold for another 10 mins before I was transferred to the business customer service line... Who asked again.

    At this point I was frustrated and said "NO. It's not a business account," but admitted that the other customer service person didn't enter the account correctly. He transferred me back to residential services were I was on put on hold again... Finally a rep answered, put me on hold to research the account only to not give me any explanation of why my bill went up and why my bill was showing due, but assured me that my bill was not overdue and due next month. She then tried to tell me that I am paying more for service because it is FiOS and that I can upgrade to faster internet for more... I was like... "Why would I do that?

I am in an area where this is the only ISP so I am stuck with this carrier. The internet is spotty and is always going out every time there is bad winds or rain...I live in a bad weather area.

    Updated on 12/31/2018: Moving to a new house so asked for disconnection on 12/17. Jeff reassured me that services would be disconnected and even got the confirmation #. He said normally they disconnect after full billing cycle, but I demand I wanted service disconnected on a certain date. Again, he assured me service would be disconnected! Wrong! Find out nope, not disconnected and STILL paying! No reason why it was not disconnected! They are a bunch of lying scammers! Why should someone pay for services that they asked to be stopped!

    They are the most dishonest, scamming company ever! Told so many different things by different people. Since when can consumers not stop services when they want! Again, company's fault they failed to disconnect and told me I would not pay after that date! Mark on the phone telling me the charges are valid. Wow, to pay for services you didn't get is a rip off! Don't ever go with FIOS, they will cheat you out of everything! Please read all the reviews, everyone has the same issues!

    Original Review: Called 3-4 times about options to move and everyone told me different things! If you transfer to new house you must have old house disconnected! Well, we werent moving for a few days and yet can't keep service? Really? So to start new service, it will cost (1 person said no cost, others said cost) and credit check. Credit check? I have been with them for 4 years! Buying a new house, there were already many credit checks so it would bring down my credit score! I was told I would save so much money to bundle and start this new service at the new home!

    But can't do install for another week and now transfer for another week as lady on phone did not "hold" my transfer like she said she would! This has been the worst move with trying to get tv moved! In their ads they show how easy it is to move to new house! Wrong, it's been a nightmare! Can't get new promotion if I transfer acct, but can't do new service without cost and credit check! They are not helpful in moving in any way.

    Not only is their internet service terrible but Frontier has, hands-down, the absolute worst customer service I have ever experienced. They will run you ragged with all their excuses, promises and outright lies and then, when you've had all you can take, they will tell you that they don't care if you are happy or not. That's only if you put in the countless hours, days and months it takes to actually get a response from someone.

    I called Frontier in October to cancel my internet service since we were moving. The customer service representative convinced me to put my account on 'vacation' mode in case they had service in my new area. I asked if this would cost me anything, the rep said no. In November I received a bill for over $70, so I called them and asked them to close my account since they don't service my new area. Was told I owed money for the 'vacation' mode; after being passed around to 4 different departments, I finally got someone who told me my bill was only $1.60.

    Now in December I received an e-mail informing me I owe almost $168! Called them and after being passed around to three different departments I finally got someone who was able to "see" the past communications I've had with them; however, they could not help me. The rep did fill out some kind of request to be forwarded to another department who will make a determination on my "case"! If you deal with this company make sure you save your confirmation number, they will not be able to help you without it. They will continue to bill you for services you have cancelled.

Fast forward to December and I now have a bill for 3 months worth of service I canceled. When I called again in December the representative informed me no one from Frontier had even accessed my account; therefore, it simply could not have been canceled. She proceeded to inform me she would cancel it, but there would be a cancellation fee (mind you, I've had this service for 10+ years). She also informed me I would receive one final bill with my past due amounts on them. I refuse to pay the bill as I canceled this service 3x now!!! Anyone else have this issue?

    If I could give zero stars I would. After about 6 years of being a "so-called" valued customer, I called in to inquire about what other options there were in bundles so that I can save a little bit monthly. There are so many great bundle deals out there right now, I just felt that what I was getting was overpriced, and not to the level of service that I could get from other providers.

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

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

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

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

    I called Frontier on August 27th 2018 to cancel my service.

I returned everything and waited for the bill they said I’d get. I never got a bill for $87.53, I instead received a bill for $205.16 for the full month of September even though I had canceled before September even came. I called three times, to try to get this resolved. I was told by the customer service agent that it was taken care of, and then received a notice that they were going to put me in collections if I didn’t pay the $205.16.

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

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

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

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

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

Their billing however, is next level scam. I opted for a special long distance international plan as I have family and many elders at that living in various parts of Europe. Every so often Frontier will randomly remove that plan from my account and my bill goes from the average $100 phone bill to being in the thousands.

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

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

    Today I finally called to cancel Frontier Cable permanently and they hassled me about it and I explained the reasons why I'm canceling Frontier. I also mentioned that they just billed me for next month service 4 days prior and that I expect a pro-rated refund for the difference of unused service days. The person that I canceled my order with said they do not prorate cancellations and I'm not entitled to any of that next month's bill back. That's in direct contrast to what a customer service rep from Frontier told me one week ago when I asked about cancelling my service and she said I would get a prorated refund back. This company will lie, deceive, ignore any and all customer questions and concerns. In addition, their internet service is much slower, their channels go out frequently, and their customer service just plain sucks! Other internet/cable providers offer you more channels, faster internet for $100 less per month. Shame on you Frontier!!!

    I just hung up from disconnecting my Frontier service which we had for four years and only used for the occasional fax. I have been calling all our other services and told them we will need to have services cut off this Friday. Everyone was fine with that. Not Frontier! We have sold our home and new homeowners will be here Friday. Frontier said we have to keep the service on until the end of the billing cycle. I have NEVER heard of this with any other utility. This means the new homeowners could run up huge long distance bills and we would be responsible for them. Thank the Lord our cycle doesn't close at the end of December. The new homeowners will not be able to connect service until ours is disconnected. Customer service was awful. No service on weekends and had to wait 20 minutes to talk to someone. Save yourself the grief of working with this company!

    Slowest speed - worst customer service! I had to have 2 accounts because their WiFi wouldn't cover the whole house. Slowest internet I've ever had, with constant buffering of video and frequent outages. Finally cancelled and switched to Bulloch Broadband and now have great internet service, but Frontier is still trying to bill for charges after the cancellation date, and even though I have called them and they were supposed to issue credits, they have now sent the account to collections! Time to get an attorney involved!

    First a disconnect from auto pay which generated a late fee. I didnt pay it, another fee, no resolve. My contract is expiring 3 Dec 18. I talked to a rep and she said that my fee, if I should accept would be 115.00 plus tax for voice internet 75/75 and basic cable, month to month service with NO ETF. I have a copy of the terms, she had to piggyback the terms on the back of my last month's bill, auto generated.

    My new bill stated my monthly bill would be 162.00, you have got to be kidding. These people went into my acct and took 270.00 last month due to the fact I reconnected to autopay (I know duh!!). That's over, I have a report to attorney general Pam Bondi. I have contracted a new company to install service and Frontier can ram it. BTW they didnt return my money. They left it in their acct to be worked off and gave me a return auth number, NO GOOD. I am boiling mad. These people can go ** themselves. They will get no more money from me...ever.

    I transitioned to FIOS from Comcast because I ran out of arms and legs to donate. Should a connection really cost this much? FIOS promised $40 monthly fee. I asked about other charges, they guaranteed me no installation fee, no taxes, and no hidden fees. $40 for service and $5 for equipment rental that could be removed if I had my own router. Also, a $5 fee for some web security software. OK, $50 total and I could drop thing off to get back to $40... The installer was very polite and knowledgeable. He said also that no installation fees.

    First bill was over $80. I called complain. They said $80 services plus install plus taxes plus equipment plus software. I requested they remove the service and I would seek charges of false advertisement. They promised to drop the fees and only charge $48. 2nd bill came, over $80. I called to complain. Repeat same story, install fees, services, equipment, security and they added a late fee also. Finally reduced to $51. I made sure they acknowledge my request to remove security software, they said it would be removed. 3rd bill came. Trust me, there is a trend. No need to continue. If you want the pain, read other paragraphs repeatedly. They try to get you on to direct billing so they have your money ransom while you fight with them. They can't bill correct, so don't do it.

    I have been a customer of Frontier Phone in a small Northern Calif. Community since 1980s and upgraded to DSL in 2012. Our package is supposed to deliver 6 Mbps max to our house. Recently we got Fiber Optics up the main highway and we had good service for a while. Last year we started having reduced speeds of downloads and even no service for extended periods up to several days.

    I changed our Modem to a Motorola modem earlier this year and service improved for a period of 6 month or so. I believe the modem supplied from Frontier Phone had software installed that throttled our signal but I cannot prove that. Now for the last two months we have received slow speeds. I have speed testing software on my Smart Phone and on Google and my testing has revealed signal speeds from 0 or no connection to well under 1 Mbps for approximately 80% of the time at all hours of the day and night. Right now it is 11/21/2018 at 3:24 PM and my signal test indicates we have 0.34 Mbps download and 0.35 Mbps upload speed. That is about equal to the old dial up speed we got before we started paying for DSL from this outfit.

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

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

I called, Daniela said sorry so many times, I felt bad, she said with absolute certainty they would be there the next day and added another $25 for my continued trouble, and they did not show.

    I called, Keenan and her supervisor Pat said I did not exist in their system, told me to re-apply and she would absolutely put priority on the order and would call me back in an hour to confirm her success.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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. Mind you I was a loyal customer of Verizon for five years.

    Hello everybody. I want to share my worst experience happen in my life till now with Frontier Communications. I wish I can give -ve review to company. Frontier guy came to my neighborhood and offering me internet service promotion. Marketing people didn't know about their internet feature how it work. He offer me 200/200 MBPS speed at rate of $50/month. After technician install speed was good but after few days speed is getting worst. Guy who came to home and sell this promotion to me never picked my call and message. Then after spoke with customer service that even more worst than any other provider. Everybody have same script - it's policy - but nobody wants to come out with solutions. This is was my super bad experience with Frontier Communications till my life. I have to pay bill that service which I didn't used. Please people be aware before dealing with this company.

    Horrific business customer service - Frontier NEVER alerted me that they had been under billing my Northern Non Profit location. However the raise the amount due, without explanation or apology. They basically told me I was lucky that they were only changing the amount and not charging back payments. In addition, we had a PRICE FOR LIFE promotion - how does such an accident occur for nearly two years... sounds as if Frontier Communications are beginning to scrape for additional funds. Welcome to the age cable tv has tanked and simply purchasing internet services has created greed, lies, and outright thieves!

    I was a Verizon customer when Frontier took over their customers in Southern California. I canceled my service on 10/17/18 one day after the monthly cut off. My service was disconnected on 10/18/18. I was told by a customer service rep. that my service would be prorated and I would be billed for one day of service. 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. Frontier is billing me for service they did not provide and will not prorate the charges. I called on three occasions to try to get the charges prorated but to no avail. I'm not sure that this is legal in California.

    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. Completely unhelpful and apathetic. I’m so frustrated!

    This is in no way a helpful review, unless you never use Frontier in you entire life. I have had internet only with Frontier since September, and have already had to put in four separate work orders, because the internet keeps going down. On one, of the many scheduled repairs the I have put in, the technician was not even attached to the repair ticket, and all I was told was that was a mistake. I took off work all day, and the technician was to arrive between 11 am and 3 pm. I have had nothing, but problems from day one with Frontier. I really wonder how Frontier is still in business. There is no way I am the only one out there that has had problems with them like this. Just remember one thing here: you pay for what you get.
