    When I started with Frontier in 2017, I was looking to order internet for my small business. I ended up with phone (not even needed) and I did add TV. I was quoted 79.99 a month for these services which given the smallness of my business I could afford. Got my first bill of over $250.00. when I questioned what happened to the $79.99, I was told that was not correct, the correct amount was $125. I resounded by saying if that what I was quoted, I wouldn't have signed upper the service. I was also told they bill a month ahead...

    Flash forward to March of this year. I have decided to close my business due to lack thereof and the fact that I want to retire. When I called to ask how to go about closing this account... and what to do with equipment, Was told there would be a $1,000 early termination fee. So I disputed it... never heard a single word from Frontier from that March date. I called them in April, and told it was still ongoing, I did receive a VM to the regard. Still no box for equipment, and they turned off the phone, but not internet or TV.

    Called today, spoke with 2 very rude and condescending women that basically said the dispute was settled and the fees stood. How can you 'settle' something without contacting the other party involved. They referred to 'the calls' however not the initial call when I disputed the charge. And where is the $$ I paid on that first bill. I will be penning a very long letter to corporate, as it seems there are no other 'bosses' above the person I spoke to. Unbelievable. SNET, you screwed up when you sold us all out. Corporate doesn't give a damn about their customers at all.

    I just got internet service installed by Frontier after exiting service from another company. What a terrible idea. Although I terminated a bundle package from the other company, I should have kept the internet service as it was flawless. Since the installation of this internet service (4-26-18), I have gotten nothing but grief. It constantly goes in and out. My landline phone service, which operates through the internet is constantly down, my son who relies on the internet to do his homework, is constantly interrupted (literally).

    In retrospect, I should have done my homework instead having it installed first. Called company numerous times and service came back on within the call, not because they did anything special, but because that's what it consistently does... go in and out. :-( Finally, it seems like my number is flagged. I called 3 times in a row, I was told by the automated operator that my call would be answered in less than five minutes, music on while I waited, then silence on the other end after 3 minutes! After 11 days, totally regretting it!

    Frontier Fios TV - I called and asked for a reduction in services. The customer service quoted me a reduction and my monthly charges would reduce to 102.00 per month. Service was increased and I was billed near $400 per month. I tried to appeal the issue and was run in circles. Now I'm receiving threatening letters. I have saved all written communications and would like advice on what to do to correct the situation. We've had neighborhood meetings and I'm not alone with this problem. Can you help me?

    After 3 calls to Frontier was told to call back 5/7/2018. I was offered a triple play for $95. I have 1 high definition box and 2 standard boxes. My next bill was $303.93 which included $100 for non returned equipment and $94.84 for an early termination fee. I am still a customer of Frontier so these 2 charges are incorrect. It looks like I will have to go thru a dispute with my credit card company after I have called 3 times to rectify this situation.

    The frontier experience has been unbelievable at best. Starting in October 2017 I cancelled cable. I also had internet and was fine with that service. After receiving a bill for continued cable I called and called AND called. I was finally told in December that if I paid a portion of bill the account would be current (credit would be given for back dates cancellation). In Jan 2018 I received yet another bill that did NOT show credit. When I called again I was told credit was denied. WHAT? Keep in mind I was paying every month for wifi.

    After several calls I was told that the call would be pulled to verify I was telling the truth... this went on for 60 days with the credit still pending. THEN the move. I requested my wifi be transferred to new address. The first CSR said they would flip a switch and I would have wifi. Of course that didn’t happen (I questioned the CSR about how that could happen). The next call I was told “Oh no... the new Service was not done correctly and we have to come out” as it was a new order due to location. THEN when no one showed I called yet again and was told “oh no this is a transfer and needs to be processed correctly." The date for the transfer was a week. I had been without internet at the new place for almost 2 weeks. I was also told during that time that the service to previous address was not on- then was told I was still being charged. I FINALLY said just cancel. That was end of March.

    I signed up with another provider and returned Frontier equipment to store. It is now 45 days later and I have received yet another bill for 227... when I called and waited 45 min for person I was told that my request to cancel service was not processed correctly!!! So today they tell me there is an investigation to my request.

    This is a class action waiting to happen. I will lite up the Attorney General, FCC, or whatever it takes to get Frontier to do the right thing. Please do not open a service with Frontier. You will regret it deeply. Where is the consumer advocates??

    Indescribably unbelievably TOO much money. Stay away. Don't do it. You will be broke and you will be sorry. There's a trick in the basket of bargains, they say one thing on the phone then they tell you another on paper. Then when you tell them what price was quoted to you they say the salesperson can't tell you how much it is because they don't know!!! WHAT!!! You end up with this tremendous bill for basic cable and no movie channels. Where did it come from? Then you wonder if you're paying for your neighbor's bill or maybe the whole street. They are terrible. So my advice shop somewhere else and don't believe the hype. I've been lied to so many times and I've concluded that they are just liars and they have no souls.

    I wish I could give Frontier a zero star rating. My Frontier experience started in February. I was told it would be $25 a month plus $25 extra the first 3 month. Okay fine. First bill came in $90.88. Took talking to 3 people to get the bill corrected (64.15) and another 3 or 4 to cancel the service. Get another bill the following month for $80.29 call and they said they would dispute it and to disregard the bill. Next month comes and another bill for $90.28 comes in. Call them about it wait 40 minutes to talk to someone and get nothing accomplished.

    I have called literally at least once a week to see if the dispute has finished. Nope. And better yet when I call they say I owe $160. But yet the "bill" says $90. Here I am 3 months after asking them to cancel it still trying to get it taken care of because I am not paying for something that has been shut off. I would not recommend Frontier to my enemy. One person says the dispute should take a day. One says a month. One says it's going to take 3 months before my account is actually "closed."

    Unsafe situation left for weeks and weeks - I had ordered their service over the phone and they sent a technician out to install a fiber optic cable from the box in the street to my service panel. When the technician opened the Manhole cover he broke it. He put some little flags around it and it has been like that ever since. A different technician came to hook up the system and when I found out the details of the agreement were different than what we agreed upon over the phone, I decided not to utilize their service. I am not sure if this had an effect on why the unsafe situation outside or not, but did want to paint the complete picture for accuracy.

    I want to express how absolutely horrible Frontier’s customer service is. I enrolled with Frontier on 4-8-18 for TV, internet, phone. The service person, who I now know didn’t know what she was doing, set me up with a DirecTV package for installation on Thursday 4-12-18 telling me this would be a small dinner plate sized satellite dish I could place anywhere in my home. I stayed home from work for this install only to find out it is a large tire sized dish to be installed on the outside of my home, which I can't do. I had to turn the technician away. First work/vacation day wasted because of Frontier incompetence. Also, it was an ordeal to cancel the DirecTV account because their customer service people are as incompetent as Frontier.

    I decided that I will go without TV since I barely watch it anyway. Next was to have internet/phone service installed Wednesday 4-18-18. The technician arrives and wonders why I am not getting FIOS since it is available because all he can do is DSL and it is very slow. Now I’m wondering why FIOS wasn’t offered. The technician sets me up with DSL & phone saying I can upgrade to FIOS after this. When he left the phone had a dial tone. However, this is my 2nd wasted day, because now to get FIOS I have to take a 3rd day off work when that should have been offered to begin with.

    I didn’t use my phone until two days later, 4-20-18 only to find now I have no dial tone. I call Frontier support and am told that a ticket has been placed for repair, but she’ll get me set up for the FIOS upgrade on 4-26-18. So, Thursday 4-26-18 I take a 3rd day off work for the FIOS installation. My phone is still not working. The technician arrives to install FIOS only to tell me there is no fiber optic drop to hook up to. That first that needs to be installed, then he can come back and put FIOS in my house. He leaves. I am absolutely furious. There's no way I am taking a 4th day off work for these **. I call Frontier support and say, just cancel the FIOS upgrade and fix my bloody phone. I’ll keep the DSL and phone, but just fix the phone. Support tells me my phone will get an expedited fix by 5 p.m. on Friday 4-27-18.

    I get home from work Friday 4-27-18 at 6:30 p.m. My phone has a dial tone. I call the number from my cell to be sure it works. But, I get a busy signal. I pick up both my home phones to find there is no tone again, just dead. I can’t believe this. I call support again and am told my phone is to get fixed on Tuesday 5-1-18. I’m furious. By now I am 10 days without phone service, they’ve wasted 3 of my work days, I’ve gotten nothing but misinformation and runaround talking to numerous people (each call requires talking to 2 or more people getting shuffled around). What is the matter with this company?! Additionally, support seems to still think I’m getting a FIOS. I tell them NO, I want that canceled. There has been enough screw up over FIOS, just fix the phone and keep the DSL.

    If this isn’t bad enough, every time I talk to support they ask for my account number, which I don’t know what it is because no one can tell me when I ask. I can’t even check my account online without it. It’s ridiculous. When I go online to check trouble ticket status it won't let me either unless it can call me with a confirmation number...which they can't do because the phone doesn't work! So, Saturday 4-28-18 I decide to try Frontier's chat support online to see if I get better luck figuring out what the hell is going on. But the chat function doesn’t even work properly. The “next” button to initiate chat doesn’t work without trying multiple times.

    Finally I get someone on the chat. Now I'm told the phone is to get fixed on Monday 4-30-18. But, they think I’m still getting FIOS. I say, NO, I want FIOS canceled, just fix the phone. At this point I'm thinking I want to cancel Frontier altogether and go back to Xfinity, but Frontier now has my phone number hostage and Xfinity can’t re-instate it while Frontier has it all goofed up. This service person supposedly actually canceled the FIOS, but tells me to check back in 24 hours to verify. Why do I need to verify? Why can't I have confidence they did it right?

    So, I go to try the chat again after 24 hours, but it doesn’t work. Holy cow. Should I call support only to get jostled around from one person to another who doesn't have a clue what they're doing? And told again that I have a FIOS install coming up that I want canceled? What about my phone? Now I am 11 days without phone service. What a joke.

    So I try chat again a little later and, ok, now it works... but guess what, no the FIOS install was not canceled. And they tell me they can't fix my phone because it was disconnected in preparation to get FIOS. I said I tried to cancel the FIOS several days ago and my phone was supposed to be fixed in the meantime anyway. I tell them, ok, this is enough, I want my entire service canceled altogether. They tell me they can't do it on chat, I have to call customer service. So I try to call customer service but they are closed. I decide to try their Facebook page to send a message. Wow, someone answers and escalates my case to an account manager.

    The next day, surprisingly the account manager contacts me. I say I want all my service canceled, account closed, and my phone number released so Xfinity can pick it back up. She tries to tell me I'll have a final bill and I say I don't think Frontier should charge me for anything after all the hassle they've put me through... lost work and ridiculous amount of time on the phone getting jerked around, not to mention no phone service. She also says my phone isn't connected, so Xfinity can't port in to get it unless it is connected. Then I say "well can you just connect it then so they can do that? Why isn't it connected by now anyway? It's been 13 days with no service!"

    So, as of this writing supposedly a ticket is put in again to connect it. Then I'll have to pay for the service as long as it takes for Xfinity to get it back. Then I can only pray they cancel it promptly after Xfinity is up and running again and don't end up with billing horror stories like some people. Absolutely horrendous. I know some people are getting their livelihood from working for Frontier, but this company should not exist.

    We recently moved from our home after being with Verizon/Frontier for more than 10 years. We no longer needed internet so we terminated our service. It turns out they terminated us 1 day earlier than requested, over Thanksgiving week-end so we were left without internet. When we called in to report the error they reinstated the internet for one additional day but had to do it under a new account. We were assured we would only be billed for 1 day and there would not be a monthly fee or reconnect fee because of the error. All went well, last bills were paid in full, old and new account by end of December. In January we started getting a bill for $50 with no explanation of the bill whatsoever.

    I immediately called in and we assured by the associate it was to be credited and was billed in error. February the same bill arrived again, I called again (calling in is at least a 20-30 minute unpleasant experience every time). I was again assured to ignore the bill and it would be resolved. I did not get another bill but received a letter from a debt collector in April demanding payment of the $50 or to face bad credit reporting (Credit Control Corporation in Newport News, VA). I called Frontier again and spent 40 minutes on the phone with Michael (he refused to give me his last name) - He tried for 40 minutes to get to the bottom of the charge but could not explain it.

    He said he would pass it on to one of his managers to resolve and someone should get back to me. I also called the Credit Control company to let them know that Frontier are not able to explain the charge. They called me back a week later to say that the amount was due and that it was for a full month charge - I have paid the bill for fear of bad credit reporting and clearly to try and get this resolved with a highly incompetent company was no longer worth my effort and time for $50, but I am extremely unhappy and have been treated extremely unfairly with zero explanation or effort to contact me by Frontier.

This is an unreasonable and unfair business practice regardless of the amount of the refund due. I will not do business with this company and support this type of poor customer treatment ever again.

I called that number expecting as an elevated level of service and assistance. Boy, was I mistaken!!! I spoke to Jenny in the office of the president, who after looking over my account of all the mistakes Frontier had made, she advised me that, "She was a single mother with two kids who when her own battery backup battery started buzzing, she went to a Batteries Plus store and bought a battery backup battery and fixed it herself."

    In other words, she was advising me that Frontier is not capable of sending a battery to me, I should go elsewhere instead of waiting for a simple service from Frontier???

    I'd give zero stars if it was an option. The long story short of all the below text is that after nearly six months of being promised an upgrade, we are told today that it was never an option and there are no plans in the works that will allow the needed service in our area. We have lived at this address for years, we are aware it is remote and our attempts to get upgraded internet have been unsuccessful. In moving out here to care for my Grandpa, I needed more reliable internet to allow me to work from home so we reached out to Frontier, our established service provider, in December of 2017. We gave our accurate address and made the representative aware of previous issues with internet availability, he assured us he could get our service upgraded using bonded lines and we will be at 7 mbps up and 10 mbps down.

    So we scheduled our appointment and took time off work to come to Lancaster, CA from Las Vegas, NV to accommodate the setup. We told the representative several times to call my cell number as my Grandpa does not want to hear about internet, he confirmed that he had added that note and yet we never received a call. Day of the appointment, no show from the tech. We called and the representative says they called the house number, after we told them not to, to tell us that the lines in our area are not up to par and another service needs to be done prior to the install. We approve all of this and ask for an updated appointment, take more time off work, ask to be called on my cell number and are told that we will receive a confirmation call 48 hours prior to the service.

    No call this time either, so the day before I am supposed to drive 3 1/2 hours to CA for this service I call in to Frontier and am told that the appointment was cancelled because the upgrade to the main lines still were not completed... At this point we are in late January and they are still yanking us around, telling us they can do the service, will do the service, etc. We finally have a tech to the house, he starts the "upgrade" and at the end tells me that we will be seeing 3 mbps up and 5 mbps down, problem is that is the same service I had before. Explain that to the tech and tell him what I was told by the CS rep regarding the bonded lines, he tells me that the appropriate lines are not laid in our area to accommodate that service. He calls in to his central dispatch, tells them the issue and makes all necessary notes on our account.

    I call in afterwards to determine whether they are actually running any of the needed upgrades in our area, the reps tells us yes, they are working on it and they hope to have that available by mid to late February, I say sign me up. Fast forward to February 26th, the tech shows up and tells me, yet again, that the wires in our area are not upgraded to accommodate the bonded lines. He makes the necessary account notes and apologizes profusely for the misunderstanding. Let me say here that of all my experiences, the techs that do the actual work are phenomenal and so understanding and sympathetic.

    Anyway, one more call to CS, they say something to the effect of "Oh, our bad, we didn't realize where you are and that we don't have that kind of service available out there." REALLY? This house has been here since 1956 and we have had the same phone number since 1972 approx. We have been handed off from one service provider to another as they change over, we have never changed a thing and have always provided the full account information when requesting service.

    Anyway, March rolls around, we receive a call from Frontier that services are being upgraded in our area and are we interested. Of course we are, if they are in fact going to be available. Relay all the previous challenges to the CS rep, am once again assured that we will be able to receive bonded lines with speeds at 15 up and 20 down as they are upgrading the whole area. Great! Make the appointment again for April 26th. See an engineer in a Frontier truck out at the phone poles in our area, gives me hope. Chat with him, he confirms they are working on an upgrade, goes out of his way to check our lines, makes sure our port is in order etc. I'm hopeful.

    Today, April 26th, same tech from February 26th shows up, walks into the yard and flat out says "We still don't have the service in your area". I tell him about the engineer, he calls in, checks around and confirms that we are still not up to par and will not be receiving the upgrade. My main qualm is being lied to over and over again about the availability of this service. I will be cancelling my service with Frontier and happily spending more than triple what I pay currently for the same exact same, low speed service with another company.

    When I moved from FL to SC last month, I called all my utility providers to cancel services as of Apr 3/18. 30-days later, my credit card was charge for the entire month (for service from Apr 1 thru Apr 30) for Frontier Internet services. When I called to correct the problem, they told me "it was in the fine print" (i.e. that I'd be charged an entire billing cycle). And they do NOT credit the pro-rated amount back!! WTH!? When I asked them if they thought it was OK to charge me for 27-days of Internet service even after they confirmed I did not have access to use the service (since they had also confirmed that they had received my router back), all they could say was "it was written in your contract". I've since spoke with two "supervisors" with no resolution. One supervisor even told me it was OK for them to do that "because they are approved by the FCC". That made me feel so much better... NOT.

    This is unethical and wrong! I can't believe they're getting away with blatant customer rip offs... and the government is allowing them to do so??? DON'T USE FRONTIER. BTW... I had used Comcast for Television at the same residence. They were HAPPY to credit ANY days not used and pro-rated the bill. AND had a local store nearby to return my equipment. Frontier made me wait 5 days for them to FedEx a cardboard box to my home to return the router. When this happened I asked myself "how do they stay in business like that?" Now I understand. They rip you off by double-charging the last month of billing. that should help their bottom line right? Hey all you class action attorneys. Go get these guys!

    Back in November, 2017, we decided to change our internet provider owing to poor service and expense. Our contract was due to expire on Feb 2018 so we waited until then in order to create a 'clean break'. At the time of cancellation I was informed we had a 'credit' which would be paid to us with 90 days of cancellation. Within the month I got a notice of the credit owed, but on the same day received a bill for one month service towards an account that had no previous reference.

    Yesterday I called Frontier and it was confirmed we are to receive and credit check, but the service agent couldn't explain the other 'bill' which now shows we owe double the original amount!!! I now have confirmation that others in our area have had similar issues with 'cancellation' from Frontier Comm. and in one case credit issues and collection agencies have been involved. As near as I can tell this is a major issue having to do with Frontiers more extreme accounting practices that have recently made the headlines... So watch this space, this could get ugly.

    I wish I had the opportunity to review Frontier's product, but we didn't even get that far! I will review just the "becoming a new customer" process that I experienced. Put shortly, Frontier quoted me an unusually long time to install service; did not inform me of delays regarding local infrastructure changes their engineers needed to do, delaying install further; did not contact me about this delay; did not contact me after the missed installation date; and quoted me another 2 weeks to install when I contacted support. Frontier has a very nice sales team; I was really impressed with their knowledge and even thought to write a positive review about the experience. The major downside about that part was an original install date a little over a month from when I called. I really wanted to get away from Spectrum, so I was willing to wait despite the unusually long wait time.

    Fast forward, and that install date comes and goes. I waited a few days for Frontier to contact me, but never received a call, email, or otherwise. I contacted support to see what's up, and I was told that their engineers needed to do some local work to enable the service in my area. This is understandable, but I was irked that they didn't inform me of this; I felt duped by the sales team. Moving on (history can't be changed), I asked for a new install date and was quoted another date 2 weeks out. At this point, I've been without Internet service at my house for 5 weeks; I was not going to wait another 2. I stated that this date is unacceptable, so the service rep started looking for a new date. This took what seemed like an hour (I wasn't timing it), only to be informed that the date I was already quoted was the earliest.

    At this point, I felt like their customers really weren't important to them. Mistakes happen, but I expect them to be corrected; this was not a correction. I knew that I would not want to deal with this sort of "resolution" for future support, so I canceled my account. Frontier feels very unprofessional; they seem to represent the very epitome of what people think of when considering "bad ISPs." Frontier has significant competition in my area too; I do not understand their lackadaisical attitude toward enabling a new customer with a 2-year contract. With all this said, I do want to say that the support rep I talked with was professional and helpful. This is 100% a review of the company, not their support department.

    I called early Saturday morning because my internet was not working. After staying on the phone for 45 minutes I was told that they would have to send a technician out to fix the problem. When they gave me my appointment I was appalled at the timeframe it takes to send some out to work on the problem. They did not give me an appointment until Tuesday between 9-12 pm. I asked why it took so long & was informed they do not work on the weekend. This is unacceptable in my book. Later in the afternoon on Saturday my TV quit working also. I called back again & was informed that the problem was at the main box outside & could not be fixed until Tuesday.

    This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Why wouldn't you have weekend crews working for outages? They have someone answering the calls 24/7 but do not have weekend crews. Any other company that I have used in the past - AT&T, Charter, Time Warner have all come out on the weekend to fix a problem. At least they all came on Saturday. I then asked to speak to billing to get a credit for the days I would be completely without service & was told that until they came out they could not give me a credit. Again I do understand why a credit can't be issued for the days they know I am going to be without service. I was told I had to call back that it would not be automatically applied to my account. WOW - sorry but this is the worst customer service I have ever encountered. When my contract is up I will be looking for a different company to do business with!!

    Well, I'm happy to report that Lianne from Frontier's Social Media Team contacted me and has resolved my problems, as expressed in my previous review, with customer support issues to my satisfaction. We have a clean slate going forward with Frontier, so I am amending my previous complaint to say that I am now satisfied with the results. It's still unfortunate it came to this point, but reassuring that someone listens and complaints are not taken lightly.

    Original Review: April 20, 2018

    We were switched to Frontier by Verizon automatically approx 2 years ago and right away our internet speed went downhill. We finally decided to switch to a company that could bundle our services (not available through Frontier in our area) and called to cancel our service. We had just received a letter letting us know that our promotion was expiring in less than 30 days and to call if we wanted to see what was available. To our amazement we just received a bill demanding not only our last month (of which we had cancelled halfway through) but also $124 early termination fee!!! We were not in a contract with them and explained this to the extremely rude woman in customer service who told us we should have "assumed" we were in a contract and would have to pay the early termination fee, plus it was not the person's job who took our cancellation of service phone call to inform us of such a fee.

    Additionally she would not let us talk to her supervisor, nor would she connect us with the survey which was offered to us and which I requested to take; instead she hung up on us. Positively the rudest, most unethical company we have ever encountered. We will never ever recommend this company to anyone we know. They definitely lie by omission - terrible, terrible company and quite possibly the worst service provider around!

    Call for service and set up direct billing at start of service. Technician did not show up for the service date (waited the entire day and called several times). Finally was told there was a mistake the account set up. They "corrected" it and the service date was reset. Got service and all was okay for a couple of months. Came back from out of town and service was disconnected for lack of payment. However my account was paid in full when I contacted them. Seems when the customer service rep "corrected" the problem, they actually set up another account. I now had two accounts for the same residence and for the same service. One being paid and one not paid. So they disconnected the service.

    At this point I had about 12 hours invested in just trying to get internet in an apartment that required no wiring or any equipment because the equipment was already installed from the last tenant. I asked them to cancel my account and they agreed that due to the complications and treatment the account was canceled. They also confirmed that there was no past due amount. However, I continued to get bills. And finally received a collection notice. So, I relented and call them again. Explained what had happened to another representative (probably the 6 or 7 person I had talked to at Frontier).

    They went through the checks and confirmed that the account was canceled and that I should not owe any money for past service. Actually, I should have demanded they refund the $75 installation fee. The guy was there for 5 minutes to confirm it was already installed and working and, I only had service about 2 months because they suspended my service on an account that was paid and without even a call or e-mail to confirm what was the issue.

    I have now explained the poor service multiple times to multiple people and have been told twice that I should owe nothing. Now I am getting offers to clear this issue from my credit report. So it seems that Frontier or its collectors has reported that I owe a debt. The amount is insignificant at $140. But, I have made all my payments and do not owe Frontier anything. They know that the consumer has no means of defense against their claims of nonpayment. Even though I have been told twice by Frontier that I am paid in full and they canceled the service due to my poor treatment without any cancelation fees.

    Now I have a negative report on my credit that I am sure they believe I will pay just to clear it from the report. I will not pay it. I owe nothing. And will find a way to correct this issue without allowing them to extort money from me to make it go away. I hate Frontier. Their customer service is horrible. Now they are being a bully and trying to force me to double pay because they are incompetent and set up two accounts for my residence. It is simply unbelievable.

    Each time I call customer service the call is no less than 45 minutes (I am having to call them every 2 weeks lately) and they bounce me around between customer service, collections, representative, supervisor. I was on the phone today ready to be transferred to the supervisor's supervisor (after speaking with 6 other people). When the call reached over 2 hours and I was on hold yet again, I lost patience and hung up.

Okay, sure we will try it and see how it goes since there really are no other options.

    So then they were supposed to come today and I got a call saying they couldn't confirm my order because we can only get 2 mbps at the new house blah blah blah. I already talked to someone about this. Two people two different times actually. So now what, they want to come in another week?! We are done with them. They have never come the first or even second time they say they will. People depend on them to do what they say they will and there is always an excuse. If you have ANY other option than Frontier go with that one.

    I wished I would have read the reviews before signing up with Frontier. They were deceitful when quoting me a price for internet service. I was told that my bill would be $55.00 per mo, with no installation fee if I signed up for home phone and internet. My first bill was $199.00: when I tried to correct the problem, I was on the phone for 1 hr and 20 mins. I would not recommend this provider.

    I started our Frontier Internet & Phone in 2015. I was told that I could get the Frontier Broadband Ultra package & get internet speeds of up to 12 Mbps. I signed up for this package. For the 1 year I was able to get download speeds of better than 5 Mbps, but never 12 Mbps. In 2017 I lost internet and phone service & had to have a technician come to the house to replace a switch on the service box outside the house. All inside lines and filters were fine. Now I can't even get 5 Mbps download speeds and I'm still being charged for 12 Mbps. How can I stop Frontier from lying about what a customer can expect to receive?

In December I received a bill for $172.96!! I didn't use the wack service for a day. I called and was reassured to ignore the invoice as I do not owe any $$, once again I recorded who I spoke with.

    I again received another bill and then the calls from a collection agency began. I tried disputing this bogus bill and being going back and forth between the collection agency and Frontier. Yesterday I received another call from the agency stating the dispute was concluded and I owe them $172.96 so I wrote to BBB and open a case.

After calling them, Frontier agreed to give us the same services for the same price. We are now into our third billing cycle, and not only did they not honor what they agreed to after two very long phone calls and wait times, they actually raised it even more. I'm most likely going to cancel them, this is the second time I have voiced my dissatisfaction on "consumer affairs", (the first time finally corrected), however, I believe that other customers should be aware that their customer service is terrible, and their billing is absolutely horrible.

    I've had Frontier since they were originally owned by AT&T. There were huge issues when they switched to Frontier. Unfortunately, I was not able to get another service for the longest time because of the area I moved to. Frontier was okay, there were frequent drops, a terribly slow internet, and I didn't have options to change. I found out that we were able to get a different provider in my area. I didn't switch because who likes going through the hassle of switching. I finally did go to switch and they half-heartedly tried to retain me as a customer. I was going to get a slower internet speed, TV, and no phone for a greater price - it made switching that much easier. I told them when I would like to cancel and they agreed.

    About a week and a half later I called to figure how to return their hardware. They said I would continue to have service for almost another month because of how their billing cycles work. They said I was going to be allowed to cancel much quicker than that. I now have to pay for my new package and the old package for the same period of time. I got tossed from one department to another trying to resolve this. They said they couldn't help me with this, even though they said I was going to be able to cancel much sooner. I'm hugely disappointed in every aspect of how they handled me.

Then because of a security freeze on my account they then ask for my unlock PIN number which no-one ever gets as requested by Equifax. Now I'm wondering if my iPhone was hacked and maybe I was transferred to a hacker or identity thief. The system and not the staff are what I'm complaining about.

    My internet has been slow for the past 6 months so I call Frontier to see if they could help. They ran me through the diagnostic mode and said a tech would need to come out and look at the system. I agreed and a tech came out. He was scheduled from 8 am to 12 pm on Tuesday, March 20. I called at 1 pm asking when they were coming. They did not know, but said they would be out. I received a call at 3:00 pm saying they were coming shortly. They showed up at 3:45 pm, checked the system and said I needed a upgrade. I asked what that entailed. He told me a new service (12 MB) and a new modem. He said someone would call me to set that up. I waited 3 days and called customer service. They stated they had no notes and I needed to verify my account.

    I gave them the password and they said it was wrong. I confirmed billing address, pin number, social security numbers and they said this was wrong. They asked for a birthday, I gave them that and said this was wrong. I asked for a supervisor and waited 45 minutes and the supervisor was able to access my account. I told her the story and she apologized and said she would update all of my information. She stated I did not need a new modem, that it was just a new service and it would cost $20 more a month. I agreed and she said it would be active in 24 hours. I waited 3 days and nothing. I called again and they would not give me access because my password was incorrect.

    I waited 1/2 hour for a manager and they got into my account and stated the order was on hold. She did not know why. She stated that she would resend the order and it would take 12 hours to activate. I waited 2 days and contacted Frontier again. I went through the same again and talked to a manager and she stated that I need a new modem and a new line. I said I have talked to two other people and they said I did not need anything new. She said she had no records of the previous comments, but would set up a appointment. I agreed and we set up a appointment for Friday, March 30 from 1 - 5 pm. I took Friday off work (2nd day off work) and waited until 5:00 pm.

    I again called Frontier and asked to speak to a manager. They asked for my password and I gave it to them and they once again said it was the wrong password and they could not help me. I asked to speak to a manager and was hung up on. I called back and finally got to speak to a manager and was informed that the last manager set up the appointment wrong. I told her my story and said, "This is not my problem." And she said, "We tried to call you, but could not reach you". I asked for the number they used and she gave me my home number that I disconnected 2 years ago through Frontier.

    She said that was the only number they had for my account. Even though I have updated my account every time I called for the last two weeks. She said they had no info of any changes made to the account. She informed me that I would need to set up a new appointment to reschedule the tech guys to come out and install. I said ok. She said, "Can I put you on a brief hold." I agreed and waited for 30 minutes and they hung up on me. All of this and I have not received 1 call back for anything.

    I got their service approximately for a year and 6 month after being with Comcast for YEARS - then I got tired of Comcast terrible customer service etc. Anyways, I was a happy Frontier customer in the beginning for their great customer service and how they really cared. I know that wasn’t the case for some but it was for me. Then everything changed to be REALLY BAD, their internet was like a dead body. I was paying for something I didn’t really have, then every month my bill started to be way higher than it should be so I had to call and gave them put in all the discounts and promotional price in. They apologize and put everything back but after like 30 minutes talking and holding.

    Forgot to mention how it became almost impossible to get a representative. The system leaves on hold and good luck to get someone to pick up the call. Their cable was just ok, it had the worst in demand ever. Their website was a disaster! So I called to cancel my service and that was another painful issue I had to deal with, the woman in the retaining department told its four days after my new cycle and they changed their policy! I asked, "Why don’t I pay for those four days and cancel my service?", her answer was, "We can’t do that because the New policy is they take the money in advance and they don’t issue credit back!!!"

    Honestly! That should be illegal.

    First of all I was never informed with the new policy. Second I was not in a contract so I believe I have the right to cancel at any time as I was promised when I got their service. I asked them to mail me out the return boxes but they refused to do it before the end of my last cycle which if you remember I paid for although I wanted to cancel!

    Anyways my billing cycle ended on the 24th and I haven’t received it yet!! What I received was a bill for those equipment!!! So I called to inquire about a bill I received in the amount of $116.34 and been told that’s for the equipment I haven’t returned yet!! This is so wrong and messed up! First of all you told me you're going mail it out on the 26th of March and when I called today about the bill and explained everything to her, she said she see my service was disconnected on the 24th but the system must have missed that and didn’t flag it for returning boxes!! Oh God, so I asked her if she can help me to end this mess and she was nice and fixed everything for me in the system and put it through, so the boxes can be mailed out hopefully! At least I hope she did! What a shame how things turned so bad with them! I'm now with Comcast again and they improved a lot! So far so good.

I'm now on a monthly payment plan, no contract. I figured I would just cut the speed in half and change to a 25/25 mbps plan. Since I was an existing customer it would only make a few dollars difference. I never had a problem with Verizon, but once Frontier took over it went downhill.

I have limited DSL abilities because I've been told that I'm too far from the main station and each time the technician has come out to attempt to fix the problems - he has told me to make sure I'm not being charged for services I do not receive. I have been attempting no only to have my issues with the DSL fixed but after months of calls to the Business Office, I still can't get the reduced rates.

    The service representatives are usually very courteous but apparently the communications between departments is vast and not followed up on. After multiple calls to both tech support and billing, I'm actually looking into changing my services to Spectrum. I have very limited choices because of where I live which again is frustrating.

    I now understand why all the reviews are terrible with this company and people are changing their services. There is not one available comment area on their website where you can complain in writing and it takes anywhere from 15-25 mins to get a response on the telephone. I'm surprised that this company has not looked internally into the system's problems they are having if more customers are leaving them. I hope that this review will at least reach an upper division person at Frontier so that they might understand their customers' frustrations in dealing with their company. Thank you.

In my opinion if Frontier can allow their employees to sell you a product, bill you the product and then take it back, allows Frontier to let their employees sell at any price, then change it!! I have proof via their bill that $93.18/mo was accepted!! Isn't that a contract!! Then changed. When C. ** called me, he did not know why the "adjustment" was made and couldn't find the recorded call (was found in 8/17!-, but they covered themselves).

    They would not let me listen to the call. C. ** had not spoken with Chelsea, did not do his homework and did not care! I filed an informal complaint with FCC.

Told it would take 3 months for a final accounting and that I would receive a return shipping box to return all my equipment.

I figured that the account was officially closed so again called customer service and after another 30 minutes talked to customer service who explained that a final accounting would take place in a couple of months and not to worry about the bill.

    Received a 2nd bill for the same amount in February and figured this to be computer generated so figured I would wait until March for the final accounting.

    A Frontier representative responded to my review and was very helpful in crediting me the amount that was overcharged, due to a low internet speed that couldn't be increased. The credit was from the date of my relocation to my new address /place of residence.

    Original Review: March 23, 2018

    I was having ongoing trouble with my Frontier DSL Internet Service ever since I moved to a new residential area in a home I purchased beginning last May 2017. I called for service at my physical location and it was recently discovered and brought to my attention by the Frontier Technician that I do not have a true high speed connection at my residential (physical) location due to the location and proximity of the "Switching Station", and other technical difficulties with the outside wiring at the telephone poles. He conducted several tests revealing my download speed is only 1.0 Mbps and upload between .04-.05. To make a long story short, I've been erroneously OVERCHARGED for Internet Services/Fees provided by Frontier since May of 2017.

    My billing statement lists my plan as the "Frontier Freedom Plan" which erroneously lists my High Speed Internet Service placed in the 15 Mbps/1 Mbps category - billing me with an overcharge rate at $34.99 per month since May 2017. Therefore, since I have had such a low internet speed connection due to my discovery of the poor transmission area (as verified by one of your Frontier Field Technicians), I contacted customer service and requested a full pro-rated refund of over-charges I have been paying since my move-in to my new place of residence since May of 2017. The service agent couldn't refund the large portion of my over charged internet fee, nor could her manager - only credit me $12.00 dollars.

    Frontier charged me $34.99 per month since last May and they would only credit me for $12.00 dollars? I Asked for a refund due too false and misleading claim that had been listed on my billing statement listing my plan as the "Frontier Freedom Plan" which erroneously lists my High Speed Internet Service placed in the 15 Mbps/1 Mbps category - billing me with an overcharge rate at $34.99 per month. Customer service was useless and in addition the customer service rep said he could upgrade my internet to a faster speed when their FIELD TECH VERIFIED that my area wasn't equipped for the higher internet speeds!

    I contacted the office of Mr. Daniel J. McCarthy, President and CEO of Frontier Communications, (via e-mail as well as sending a physical hard copy letter addressed to Mr. McCarthy's attention via USPS), to no avail. His assistant service rep called me and said she would investigate the erroneous charges listing the false internet plan listed on my bill and would get back to me, and she never did... (And this is one of THE ASSISTANT'S to the President of Frontier Communications?).

    I had to contact her and our conversation concluded with the $12.00 credit on my bill with no full or even a fair pro-rated refund since last May for the false misleading slow internet service. The amount of money this company is pulling in you would think they would agree that the overcharged rate would be corrected and I would have a refund credit for the amount I had been paying for a primitive low quality internet connection/service. From what I gather, Spectrum is the only true hi speed internet carrier in my area that's equipped with a cable that apparently is equipped with a higher Mbps.

So called on the 6th spoke to someone. That person reschedule his installation date to the 22nd of March but to please call every day to see about getting something sooner. So long story short today is the 21st. After calling almost every day they could not get a tech to us sooner so I called today to just make sure still good for the 22nd of March.

    Well instead of being able to spend my night with family after 12 hrs working I had to spend almost 5 hrs on 1st call to Frontier just to now be told that they will not schedule a tech until all of sudden a deposit is made that the 1st lady I talk to from the Georgia office her name was Megan she said I needed to make a $68 deposit. Now keep in mind she is telling me she can't schedule a tech to come until I made this deposit but from day 1 I have a schedule tech date with nothing being mention about a deposit. My son even asked the gentleman if there was one and we both was told no.

    He told us what his 1st bill will be and then from there and we even paid his old account off so if told then about a deposit it would have not been a problem so I explained to the Frontier customer service lady that my son already had a schedule date, order number and account number and made her aware that the email that was complemental sent to us said everything about what he would own. His first bill again nothing mentioned about a deposit so when we kept on calling which we had called several times before the 22nd of March and talked to several representatives not once did anybody say anything about a deposit and that everything was still good for the 22nd until today when I called to make sure the 22nd was still good. Does Lady Megan tells me that the deposit needs to be made.

    It's not about the deposit. It's just something that should have been taken care of not once not twice but several times when making sure everything was okay or if we can get something sooner so she put me on hold and she said, “Let me talk to somebody over me and see what we can do for you,” which I really appreciated that until her supervisor Brittany from the Georgia's office gets on talk to me like I'm stupid. I'm trying to explain everything to her and all she kept doing was repeating herself to me that cannot make an appointment until the deposit is made and I was not putting a deposit down because it was not part of my contract from day one from February 28th.

    So she kept telling me a tech cannot come out and I kept telling her as 1.8 acted come out so at some point there was no deposit request it so what made it change and that's all I kept trying to ask her is to please make me understand from what happened from February 28th to today March 21st to set up for our appointment tomorrow and all she kept talking to me like I was stupid and wanted even try to help me so for an hour and a half on the phone with Brittany the supervisor. She just told me to have a good day and refused to work with me to make things right on their behalf. This wasn't a problem with the customers.

    This was a problem in misunderstanding on their behalf through their customer service reps that need to be trained right so I made her aware that I was recording everything that had documentation of everything from day one that we had set up Arc my son's contract from there and that I will keep calling the 1-800 number until I get somebody hired and her to try to help me. She didn't care so she just said, “Good. Have a good day,” and hung up. So again I called the 1 800 number for Frontier and this time I got sent to a Texas office. I talk to a customer service rep who is very nice. She didn't transfer me to a supervisor. She spoke to her supervisor the whole time after I explained everything to her what had happened that it wasn't a misunderstanding on our behalf.

    It was really a misunderstanding on a customer service behalf that I explained to her that a tech already came out once just didn't know where to go without a deposit so I don't know where after calling 8 X Y. All sign it and deposit came up so far after being on the phone with her for an hour and 45 minutes she talked to her supervisor and she came back and she made things right with me. I got a $75 customer service misunderstanding credit and a free $75 installation fee. She apologized and she closed the old order #. Gave me a new one and new account and a new date for the installation without a deposit. She understood. She was very nice about everything. She didn't try to talk to me like I'm stupid. That's the way a customer rep should be with customers. Try to understand what had happened.

    What can I do to make things right so they don't lose a customer after several times telling the supervisor Brittany that I was just going to go with a new internet company. She just didn't try to make things right to keep me as a customer especially after my husband has been a customer with them for over 20 years and my son was a customer with them once and just trying to get internet back. But the customer service lady from Taxes office Minj well just say Brittany supervisor from Georgia office you for sure should not be a supervisor and I hope one day Minj from Taxes takes your job because she knows the value of customers. I not sure what the heck happen with customer service for Frontier either not trained right or just don't like to communicate with customers but if you put a note that to be able to schedule that customer needs to make a deposit.

    We are just the customers. we only know what you tell us so after 12 phones talked to different customer reps to get where I was today. Should not happen to any customer. And I am not trying to sound cheap. It really wasn't about being told today about a deposit. It's just something that should have been taken care of from day one. Before I called a different office I put a request in with the Supervisor Brittany for all calls from my son's and my phone to please be pulled and she we see we wasn't lying and she said she will that it take 90 days. I said ok and if you that it was a mistake on their behalf. Will they be willing to work with my son in any way with his deposit because he is now 4 weeks behind on his college work because of this.

    He has missed 2 days of pay from for this and now a month later from after setting everything up he still has to wait until April 5th for the tech to come and install and you know what she said after tapes are pulled her same Dame words still will not schedule a tech until deposit even after she is going to see I was telling the truth. So here in this situation a supervisor couldn't wouldn't do anything to help this customer but a very friendly nice customer rep will go out and make things right for her customer. And I know because I have been a customer rep for DirecTV for over 15 yrs. And I know if me or any customer rep would have did to a customer that the way my son and I was treated from Frontier I would not have my job so I know if not for customers I wouldn't have my job. So Supervisor if a Customer says something is wrong with the way things was handled listen to them. Everyone doesn't lie or want free stuff.

    They was going by what was told to them by your team. Special when the customer is trying to tell you that a tech did come and that she still have voice mail and tech # on her phone for the day. He called to find my son's apartment and guess what that all happen without a deposit and I wouldn't have even had to call or reschedule if I hadn't missed that day and that's all I wanted her to do was explain that to me not keep telling me over and over that I can't get a date without a deposit because I did twice so at some point someone did what you said you couldn't do and again something a supervisor couldn't do that a customer would not give up until I got answers that a different person from a different office did for her and she made things happen. And again Minj was just low payer customer service rep that a person Supervisor Brittany who makes more than her and why made happen so again.

    Thank you Ms. Minj from the Frontier office in Texas. God has you and you are good at your job making customer satisfaction to 100% Brittany from Frontier Georgia office supervisor get a new job because you come in my company like that I am going to treat you the way you treat people and maybe think about that next time when you need help over the phone through a customer service rep. Thank you guys.

    And Megan from Georgia Frontier office sweetie you was doing your job. Your supervisor Brittany decided to get on phone with me and not try to make things right for your company’s mistake or listen to the facts of what the customer had in front of her to prove everything and I really hope she listen to all of our phones calls and emails sent to her and her son. Brittany Minj saved your ** from being sued because after the phone with you I had a lawyer on other line listen in to everything and even he heard and read everything and told me I should have sued for miscommunication to customer and Supervisor not try to make things right when customer already had a copy of contract in front of her. Learn your job Brittany.

    I set all this up on Feb 28th and my son still has to wait until April 5th for a tech to come and install so that will still put him 6 weeks behind on his college school work. He was told he will have to pay again and redo this semester which anyone who knows college is not cheap so $3,000.00 down the drain and not sure how he is going to get the money to redo the semester.

    It sucks you got kids out there trying to make their life different and then people like Brittany doesn't care about making things right for people who reason a she has a job. Terrible. Just terrible. Good luck everyone. My lesson to customers please if you know something isn't what you agree on or you feeling something isn't right and you know that for sure like this situation where for once a customer had records, proof, everything that will show what you are trying to explain don't gave up. Stay on that phone all day every day until you get that one person that will listen and know how to do their job and just that one person will make it right and that is because that person loves their job.

    My mother's house was sold on February 23. I first contacted them in early January to discontinue service. At that time, they wanted a PIN number, which my mother didn't have. She is elderly. I have since contacted them 4 times to suspend service. Each time they insist on a PIN number, which I don't have. They have now billed me for a month in which the house hasn't even been owned and are sending past due notices. Each time I call I hold for 20 minutes, speak to someone and am then transferred to someone else. I will never do business with them again.

    I opened an account just so I can write this review. Ever since my service was bought out by Frontier TV, I have had a horrible experience with them. My bill is inconsistent every month, and when I attempted to canceled my cable, they simply did not. I had to call not once, but 3 times to get them to cut my cable. Two weeks later I found out why they didn’t cancel at my first attempt. They wanted the billing cycle to kick in so I’ll have to pay the cable bill for another month, even though they cut it off.

    When I called to inquire about the bill, which included cable (even though I canceled), they kept transferring me over without letting me know or asking me. An employee Frontier TV refused to let me talk and talked over me the entire time. She then said there is nothing she can do as the billing department is now closed. IN THE MIDDLE OF MY CALL!!! Unbelievable. I have to call them again- I’ll be sure to take some blood pressure medication before I do. Because their incompetence and lack of professionalism is beyond anything I’ve experienced from a company as big as this.

    I had an ongoing billing dispute with Frontier for over a month. The many phone calls almost always resulted in a rep telling me that the issue had been resolved. Never was. Finally gave up by cancelling service which was then picked up by my roommate as a new subscription. Unfortunately the home phone number was changed - temporarily so we thought. Three times in past two weeks we were given dates and times that the phone would be switched back to the original number and three times that promise was broken. If you have a choice to use any other communications - even Comcast - I urge you to do so. You'll save yourself a lot of headaches and frustration not to mention a bundle of wasted time.

For home service I was scheduled a month and a half out, long wait. Business installed fast made me happy. Had to have service already. Was not installed correctly. Bill went up $10, Ok... tried calling. Was not receiving bills. Took a total of 11 calls two disconnections and was transferred to 5 people that could not help. Had wrong address., was on the phone again for an hour. One rep was argumentative in regards to the address being wrong. Spoke with a manager and politely explained my frustration with Frontier. After I finished explaining he rudely said "to go back to what we were speaking about". After that made my payment and hung up. Why is customer service so atrocious? Huge company...

    Somebody recommended Frontier to me, but after seven months of pain I do NOT recommend Frontier to anyone. Customer Service is terrible and they don't have offices in Dallas. Internet speed is good, basic cable is very poor and I don't know about voice.Frontier never kept my promotion plan at the same cost as I signed for. Every month, I had to call to complain about my monthly bill, and once my first six months were over, my monthly payment was increased about $80 (when it's suppose to increase only $40.)

    Also, nobody was able to help me on this matter. In addition to, I was surprised when I called to cancel my service because, they told me that I have a contract fee and a full monthly payment to pay, when it was a no contract package. No other company, as I know, charges you for the whole month, just for the days that you have been using it. Now I have to pay the whole month plus the first month with the new company. It was a terrible experience for me.

    On three occasions in 6 months, in phoning about technical issues, the "support" people said they'd upgrade me, you while still giving me a lower rate. I'd be a fool not to say, "Yes." However, on subsequent billings, this was not the case. I must have spent a total of 4/5 hours on the phone having the billing dept. "adjust" my statements. I'm assuming it's simply the salesperson making his or her commission and not giving a hoot about future customer consequences. Furthermore, having called the tech support and billing departments about 25 times within a 6 month period, I gave the “Customer Retention” people a chance to keep me as a customer by lowering my monthly cost (which had doubled, yes doubled, overnight) to a quote I received from a competitor for the same package deal.

    Let’s just put it this way, the “Customer Retention” department should really be called the “Customer Rejection” department. I actually spoke to a total of three, no-talent employees who really shouldn’t be working in this field. I happily discontinued service. Frontier acquired the customer base of Verizon, which I had service from for over 5 years. I read that Frontier was losing customers in droves and now I know why.

    Customer service is horrible! I upgraded my account a month ago and they said they were shipping a 2nd box then. It's never arrived! I phoned customer service 3 times, each person tells me it's enroute and will arrive in a day or 2. But never arrived even though I was now paying more for my service. Today I called and got a honest person on the phone. She admitted it had never been ordered to ship! All the others had lied. There are boxes on cable trucks roaming around but they refuse to have anyone drop one off. And it's being shipped slow standard so will be at least a week before I get it. APPALLING! I asked to speak to a supervisor to alert them. They were "busy" and would call right back. That was 2 hours ago!

    Updated on 06/30/2018: Every month I have to call to dispute the extra charges Frontier has added without consent. It's always a 1-2 hour call and they always, eventually, say "Sorry, We'll credit you". But often carry it over so fake charges still show the next month. They are hugely Fraudulent and assume people will pay their fake charges under duress. Criminal charges should be brought against Frontier. They are a Fraud Racket. I will be so happy when I can be done with them and have a legitimate server.

    This has to be at least the 5th time I have tried setting up Frontier. Every time we discuss one price and then a totally different price/service is included in the disclosure or they "accidentally" cancel my order and I don't find out until they don't show up to install. Silly of me to keep trying! This time around I set up service online, allowed my credit to be pulled, was offered 1 TV with basic package and free HD box and Showtime for 1 month plus 100 speed internet for $65/month. Complete the order and go back to review email confirmation... $85/month and 50 speed internet. I call in immediately and let customer service know. The girl assures me this was a mistake, I must have put more than 1 TV in the order (I did not) but fixes the price and internet speed.

    She then schedules me for install 10 days later. The appointment comes and goes... no tech. I call in and the account number I was given is attached to someone else. After 20+ minutes on the phone they find the order which was cancelled for some reason. We need to start all over AND pull my credit again as it is only good for 24 hours. They also can not get anyone out to install for another 10 days but I can try calling customer service once the new order goes through to see if they can get someone else out quicker. No way to elevate. No manager to speak with. Just an absolute cluster **. Come on Frontier. Get your act together. Oh, and no way to rate them on the BBB. I am guessing that is not a coincidence.

Let's just say they bill inaccurately, have poor service and just flat out do not care about your happiness with any of their services. AND the icing on the cake they do not pro-rate your bill so if you terminate half way thru the month, like we chose to do, you have to pay for the full month.

The Frontier lady (Porsha) advised me that after the promotion, my bill would be $125.00 per month INCLUDING ALL THE TAXES/FEES/ETC. Starting with my first Frontier bill, the billing was already a mess & incorrect. I started with Frontier from 3/2017 - 2/28/18. I have had to call them (Billing supervisor Europe, Charleen, Pamela & so on) (FRONTIER), EVERY SINGLE MONTH... To have my bill corrected. Now, the Frontier supervisor for the billing supervisor (CASY) has stated to me, they will not honor the price I was quoted.

    Casy was to call me back the next day 3/09/18 at 11am to see if I wanted to cancel with them. Well, she never called & when I call Frontier, they are unable to connect me with Casy or notify Casy to call me. So needless to say, I am now with Spectrum. When I go to pay my final bill, I am only paying what I was quoted $125.00. When I did some research on Frontier, I was shocked at what I found. They have so many complaints in regards to billing, they only have a rating score of 1.1 which as you know is extremely bad. I also checked the BBB & they have a F rating. If they choose to take me to court or put anything on my credit report, I will refute the charges, as I have documentation to everything. So whatever you do, please do not sign up with FRONTIER, no matter what the offer is.

They need to honor their words or get me off their contract so I can move on. I feel like I'm being scammed by Frontier.

    ADVICE FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE: Stay away from this company!!! Trust me! You'll wish you had! Unless you have money to blow, then you'll be okay! I have NEVER been treated so rudely in my life! Frontier are scammers! You've been warned by ALL the reviews, and no one has a reason to lie... People praising this Company HAS to be employed by them, OR has family working there! Ask your friends on Facebook, anywhere; they'll tell you what I'm saying IS TRUE! Trying to help someone else not go through pure literal HELL!

    Horrible experience. These people just took my money. When I signed up for the service a customer service rep told me that and I quote "if for any reason the service don't work to give them a callback and they would refund my money." I called and canceled and requested a refund cause the service didn't work AT ALL! I never received my money. I called again and They said that they never received a order for cancellation so I canceled AGAIN. A couple days later I received a Bill and out of confusion I called them again and asked why I received a Bill and again they acted clueless saying "I don't know why you received a Bill. I see that your service has been canceled".

    I asked how long it would take and a man told me 3 days. Still no money. Now here I am 1 month later still trying to get my money back. My last attempt (Today) speaking to someone they told me that they put a credit on my account and that they are still looking for me to pay a Bill from last month. MIND YOU I HAVE NOT USED THEIR SERVICE AT ALL. PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH FRONTIER. SCAM SCAM SCAM.

    They decided that they could get me down to $35.00 for the promotional rate I was offered at $19.99. I said I would have stayed with my original internet had I known they were going to never honor the $19.99. I was told she would review it and call me back after 10pm.

    I canceled my Internet service with Frontier on January 6. It took me eight phone calls to cancel my service because I kept being disconnected by their customer service department, So when I received a bill from them showing my cancellation date of January 30 I decided just to pay it even though I canceled that weeks earlier. One would think that that would be the end of things but lo and behold I received another bill from them for the month of February. I called their customer service and was told that it can take up to three billing cycles for me to stop receiving bills. Well, today I received a letter from them informing me my account was past due and that they were going to report my account to the credit bureaus if I did not pay them!!! What a joke!!!

    I have been with Frontier since it was taken over from Verizon and have had not one problem, so far, except for my bill. The only time I have had to call via "chat" was when my intro rate expired and my bill increased by about $60/mo. They offered me a reduction for the first year if I agreed to a 2-year contract. I didn't agree to a contract because I wanted to investigate other options. I thought I might just "cut the cable" and bought an indoor antenna. I scanned for channels and found about 13, none of which anyone would want to watch. I bought a "better" more expensive antenna, got the same channels plus a couple extras. I discovered I could not get any of the local networks with the news, so returned them both and reconnected the cable. After reading reviews of other cable companies, I will probably just bite the bullet and keep paying my high bill, or agree to a 2-year contract with a reduction, if they will still offer it.

    On 9/20/17 I called to renew my program with them. I was given a two year guaranteed price with a confirmation number ** by Kevin the representative. My first 5 months I've had to call due to the billing being wrong. I've spent 2 to 3 hours each month on the chat room or phone trying to get it straightened out. I finally sent an e-mail with my complaints. I had Stacey (at #844-320-4445 ext. **) call me back on 2/26 and I went over everything with her. She started an investigation.

    On 3/5/18 I called to see if she had found out anything. She said the investigation was ongoing and would call me back. She called me the same day 3/5 and said, she listened to the recording between me and Kevin and said, that she did hear where he gave me a 2 yr. price guarantee. Said, he was wrong in doing that and a report was made on him. She informed me the two boxes we have went up $2.00 each a month and that the $50.00 credit I'm currently receiving would only be good until Oct.15. I'll have to call back before then and see if I can still get it. Also told me if I wanted to terminate my contract early there won't be a penalty?

    Seems that when you're quoted a price it may or may not be any good even with a confirmation number. How can a company get away doing business like this? I honestly got the impression she could care less if I stayed with them. I've always paid my bill a few days after receiving it and have never been late. They were in the wrong not me and now they want me to pay for it. Terrible way to treat a good customer.

    Very long story - was with Verizon when bought out by Frontier in Tampa, FL. Price went up, decided to move away. Called them on Dec 6th, 2017 and asked to cancel service as of Dec 9th 2017 as I had Spectrum coming on that day to set up. I was told, "No problem." The representative did not mention about any billing. But the morning of Dec 7th, 2017 I noticed I did not have service. Called them and they said, - "Yup you have been disconnected". I questioned why they did not wait till the request date? Their only answer was Sorry.

    Now the second part of the issue started. I was sent a bill for 234 when my monthly bill was 144. They billed me till the end of January. I called and asked what this bill is. The lady informed me that normally the last bill takes about 2 months to flush out correctly. She asked me to ignore it. I got couple more bills and I called them every time. On the third call the representative stated Frontier does not prorate bills. I asked him to show it in the agreement. He sent me one but could not identify where it says bills are not prorated. Even if they do not prorate, my billing cycle starts on 23rd of each month. They should bill me up to December 22nd not January 31st of next year. How did they come up with January if they do not prorate? Now they sent my bill for collection. They are unable to provide the agreement which says they do not prorate. I was not informed of it when I called to cancel.

    Where to start? Frontier Communications is the single worst company I've ever dealt with. A brain-dead horror-show. They couldn't be described as a 'service provider' on any account. Hanging yourself with piano wire would be more enjoyable and rewarding than ANY interaction with Frontier. We were Verizon Fios customers for 17 years before they were sold to Frontier and the real suffering began. I'm not one to change service providers on a whim. Shame on me to endure the torture for another year before dumping them. I figured, give them a chance to get organized and get their act together. They quickly went from horrific to epoch ineptitude.

    There are just no bright spots with Frontier from cable service to technical support to customer service or billing. These people are profoundly hopeless. The greatest success for Frontier has been to drive over 60,000 former Verizon customers in SoCal to Spectrum. Not that Spectrum is good, but they're the gold standard by comparison.

    Very long story - was with Verizon when bought out by Frontier in Venice, FL. Had a few technical problems, which very nice service fellows rectified. Have to say, I was the only one I knew on Venice Island not complaining about Frontier, and was happy to tell that to the Comcast salesmen who kept canvassing the neighborhood.

    When we were moving to Panama City, I telephoned Frontier actually hoping they would be available in that area, which they were not, thank goodness! I did cancel my service effective 8/16/17 - the day before move out. When I asked for a local address to return the equipment, the fellow who took cancellation order confirmation #** told me to toss the equipment - because it was "old Verizon equipment, which is of no use to Frontier"! I thought this unusual, so I asked again - several times - if he was sure, and he insisted he was correct.

    A few days later I called again and asked a Frontier person after referencing my cancellation order # if I was indeed supposed to toss the equipment, and was told "yes" again. So, I tossed the equipment. Yep, you probably guessed it - NOW Frontier is looking for $535 (after my Nov billing showed a zero balance) for unreturned equipment.

    Will list the most supposedly rewarding of my calls. Called in Dec (new bill showed charge), was told by Debra in SC #** that her supervisor had approved writing off the charge and it should be processed within 24 hours. Called again in Jan (new bill still showed charge), was told by Fran the account would be adjusted to a zero balance, and that should be approved in 24 hours. Called again in Feb (the new bill still showed charge) was told by Deanna in WV that she would put through credits totaling $535 and they should post in 24 hours.

    Checked my account yesterday - no credits. Entered chat - what a mistake - over 2 hours total, first rep Jhanlie just could not grasp the issue, then supervisor Jazzelle suggested we split the bill (NO WAY!) before apparently going to her supervisor... then wanting me to accept a call from "Jared" (I gather her supervisor). I told her I was done for the day (a 2 hours plus) Then she said old Jared would call me at 10 am CST. Yeah, no surprise, no call. Been down that road with Frontier on this issue already. From about 20 mins into chat I repeatedly requested the name and address of the head of Customer Relations for Frontier... even Jazzelle (a supervisor) would not provide it - just said I could discuss with Jared.

    All together, probably 15 - 20 hours wasted on this issue. By the way, during this saga, a few Frontier employees have admitted the Verizon equipment is of no use to Frontier... as it is obsolete. I understand why Exec VP - Chief Customer Officer Cecilia K McKenney left in February, but gotta wonder why Quest just hired her!! Especially after reading these complaints and seeing I am so not alone! On to Mike Flynn, SE Regional President, Jennifer Brown, Director of Customer Care, Robert Pero, Sr VP Operations...then John Maduri (Cecilia's replacement) and eventually Daniel J McCarthy CEO/Pres (although apparently his office is not very responsive).

I haven't had any complaints with my internet, with my $30 100/100Mbps Service, I get usually 80-90 Mbps up and down. On evenings, rainy weekends when everybody is streaming Netflix in the neighborhood, I still get 30-50 Mbps which is more than enough for anything we do in the household. Compared to Spectrum I pay half price, compared to AT&T I'm 50 times faster. There 24Mbps DSL Line we have at the office only offers 1-2Mbps on average.

It was a local Tampa office that admitted a billing error, after a complaint was made with the Attorney General's office. I encourage consumers to keep records of phone calls, dates of service etc. as the more information you can provide, the better.

    Cable company was changed December 2017 and I returned equipment to Frontier. I received a bill for January 4, 2018 to February 03, 2018... $66.74. I immediately contacted Frontier. Despite being reassured by customer service that all the equipment was returned and the account balance was zero, a letter dated January 30, 2018 was sent to me indicating that the $66.74 was past due and it needed to be paid or it would be sent to collections. I then received another bill for February, same amount. Additional phone calls were made, again I was told that it had to go through a 3 month billing cycle. Today I received notice from a collection agency (Credit Protection Association, L.P.). I again contacted Frontier... Now they say I have to deal with the Collection Agency.

    I called today to cancel my Frontier services due to ever increasing rates and no additional services and Frontier's absolute refusal to fix billing issues. After one of the many calls a customer service agent cancelled one of my boxes and I received a 350.00 charge to my bill. When I called to find out why I was instructed to send the box back and they will credit me. When I inquired on which box to send back they said they didn't know and could not give me the serial number for the cancelled box. I then cancelled the service completely and they said I was under contract for 8 more months, which I never agreed to after the initial 2 year contract, and that I have to pay for the full month, with 18 days left in billing cycle.

    When I asked why can they not prorate the bill as they do when you add a service the reply I received was it's against company policy. I went with Spectrum who will pay out the 97.00 on the contract but I refuse to pay for services I am not receiving and will drive a hour to a storefront to return my equipment to get a receipt because I do not trust them and I will prorate my own bill based on their prorated info on adding services.

We figured it was just standard hidden taxes for initial hook ups. Until second bill arrived at the same price, so I contacted Frontier's billing department only to discover the promotions had not been implemented. Upon contacting customer support to verify what speeds I was paying for, I had been setup for 35Mbps when this areas' max speed of download is 6Mbps. Lol. So after 6 disconnects attempting billing I finally got through to someone who supposedly realized the error and corrected it.

On 2/17/2018 we received a letter from Credit Control Corporation (credit collections agency) demanding that we pay a balance of $76.69. Frontier Communications is fraudulently billing us for services that they never rendered and illegally sending us to credit collections on money we never owed them!!!

    I have had terrible internet service ever since Verizon Fios changed over to Frontier. I had to keep my end of a 2 year agreement I don't remember ever agreeing to. Once I had completed my end of the contract I called to let them know I would be cancelling my contract with them. First they told me that I couldn't get a partial refund for the remained of the month. FINE. I switched the cancellation date from next Tuesday (get new service Monday) to March 9th (Today is Feb 23). I woke up to find I have no internet. I called Frontier. Tech support confirmed they had disconnected me. He transferred me to customer service where I sat on hold for almost an hour.

    They are refusing to put the internet back on until the agreed upon end of service date unless I sign up for another 2 year contract!!! BS!!! I fulfilled my end of the contract and they are not fulfilling their end of the contract. Guess they don't want their final month's bill paid. How is even though they read me the notes that it wasn't supposed to disconnected until March 9th they don't think they need to reconnect me! I call BS or they can credit my account $86.98!

    I placed an order on February 15th 2018 to downgrade services from an elite package to just internet only and received an order number that shows on my account which I am able to see is in a completed status once I log in. It has been a few days and still no return boxes. On the evening of February 22nd I called customer service and found out that there is no order for my service downgrade even though it shows to have been completed when I log into my account. The representative stated that she placed an order for my return boxes to send them their set top box.

    Once the boxes arrive I will take them to whatever carrier and get a receipt for the package. I have also taken a screenshot of the order page from my Frontier account which clearly indicates the order number for the downgrade. I just want them to get their STB back as I have no use for it all. There are no local stores in my area that I can get in my car and go return their equipment which is really a huge inconvenience as I just want to be done with this horrible company.

    Unfortunately back in August 2017 I decided to bundle up internet, TV and home phone with Frontier, I spoke to a service rep that explained the different packages, we agreed on a particular package and a price lock of two years without contract. I received my first bill in September and it was over $400, I was told my services were going to be around $175 including taxes, I immediately called and after making adjustments I was told to pay the amount the original amount.

    When my October bill arrived same thing, it was for a much higher amount, called again and the rep adjusted the billing and told me the amount I needed to pay, to make the long story short every statement from Sept 2017 to this current statement Feb 2018 has had a different amount. I had spend countless hours on the phone with them, every time you call them you're looking at about 1 1/2 on the phone just trying to explain and waiting for the representatives to figure out what to do and what to tell you. They assured you that the billing is fixed only to find out the next statement that it hasn't, Frontier Communications is without a doubt the worst company ever and has the most incompetent group of people working for them...

    I have been calling them every month for the past 5 months with HIGH fluctuations on my bills and the frustration levels are extreme at the moment, I just had enough and called to cancel the service and was told that there is a $200 cancellation fee which I was never told would be if I decided to cancel, I specifically asked the rep back in August if there was a contract and was told no contract, that there is a price lock for two years and after that the service charges will be regular pricing.

    I got very upset over the phone and the customer service rep told me to give him until Friday for him to work on waiving the cancellation fee, that he will call me. Based on past experience with Frontier's representatives I am not expecting a call back, they just tell you whatever to get you off the phone, but if they insist on a cancellation fee I will contact an attorney to seek legal avenues. Frontier has breached any such contract the moment they failed to charge the same amount every month which was supposed to be a lock price for two years.

    We had AT&T for six years. Good service, reasonable price. Prices unavoidably rose, but we were always able to get a new deal for a year or 2. Customer service was adequate, but you had to jump through some hoops, as with any large company. Frontier took over about 2 or 3 years ago. Nothing but problems. Prices rose, no discounts were available. Most frustrating was the fact that the bill was a different amount every month. How is this possible? My wife would call and they would say that the number of days in the billing cycle was different. Every call was minimum 1 hour on the phone to get things straightened out, only to have the same problem in a month or 2.

    You would be transferred multiple times and have to tell the next person everything from the beginning, only to be transferred again and told something different. So when Comcast came around, offering the same services for a slightly higher price, we decided to rid ourselves of the hassle. The cable package isn't as good, but the internet is much faster. That was on Dec. 9, my wife canceled. We had a $22 credit on our next bill and they billed us for Dec - Jan. It is now Feb 21 and we received 2 bills. 1 for $155 dollars and another for over $400! My wife has been on the phone trying to straighten this out now for 3 HOURS! They say we didn't cancel. They sent us boxes, we shipped the equipment back by UPS in December. This company should be fined at minimum, shut down if things were right.

    I signed up for the internet only service. I've not been with the company for 3yrs but my price has increased by $20 in the last 2yrs, so their end was not upheld with a price lock. The company told me their hands were tied and made no offer to get me a lower rate. Also I was charged over $200 for a free install and it took over 8 months and numerous calls to straighten out. Price increases are never mentioned to the customers until after this company slides them in and then tells you it's in micro print on page four of a certain month on one particular billing statement and your price will still increase even under a price lock. So why guarantee a price lock and then lie?

    I've been a customer who is on c.c. auto pay, have never been late or failed to make a payment. I was sold bad equipment, overcharged for not only the service but the install as well, and have been lied to and scammed. The service has been out more than it has been on and I live in a popular city. Please reconsider choosing this company if you are looking for good, reliable service or if you have a budget. I was without service for a month and only issued a $26.99 credit which has yet to be applied after being approved and was then also told that my price has increased upon just asking about my time without service credit.

    Trouble tickets are also created and miraculously canceled without any customer knowledge of cancellation so time with our service credits cannot be given, customer service agents are very rude and pretend that they cannot hear the customer just so they do not have to assist. This is truly a horrible company to be with and I truly cannot find anything positive to say about them. If any way possible please avoid this company at all cost or trust me you will be charged a bundle by them.

    After posting my review I was promptly contacted by an account manager who was able to resolve my billing issue and close my account. It is unfortunate it took wring a negative review to get a correct response. It still seems the customer facing staffs are not empowered to actually resolve issues.

    Original Review: Feb. 20, 2018

    DO not use Frontier if at all possible. Customer service departments can do nothing to help. Three months and 3 cancellation orders later I am still getting billed for services never installed. Have talked to lots of nice customer service reps empowered to do nothing to help customers correct problems on their billing system.

    If at all possible, do not use this service. The customer service is not very good. Representatives will give you false information and that can be costly for you the consumer. Afterwards, they will do nothing to correct the mistake. For example, I was moving in three weeks, and called to cancel service. The representative told me he would send my boxes but keep the services on so I would have internet until the boxes came in 3 to 5 days. After a week, I did not receive any boxes, I called and was told the service had to be cancelled first.

    Now, I will not get the boxes in time, I will not have a new address to ship the boxes until after the 30 days because I am taking vacation before I get to my next location. I asked if they can extend the time for me to get the equipment due to a mistake they made and they said no. I will be getting charged if the equipment is not shipped to them in time. The service is not all that good but this is the only company that offered it in this area. Due to my experiences, I will go without internet and cable before I use this company or any of its affiliates again.

    I am so frustrated with Frontier FIOS. The service is abysmal. Every evening and weekend, the internet service deteriorates and is almost impossible to use. I called and they recommended increasing the internet access from 50 MBPS to 100 MBPS and I was stupid enough to agree. After two weeks, I called and they had increased the service fee but access in our home never exceeded 50 MBPS so it was a worthless decision. I have called six or seven times to ask someone to listen. The staff is always pleasant but nothing ever improves. DON'T make a poor decision and think that Frontier will be good. I regret going with this company and am looking for another communication company.

    The absolute worst company I've ever dealt with! Avoid them at all cost. My first order to Frontier was on 12-22-2017 and was to increase my internet speed to between 7-10 Mbps, from the 3Mbps I'm paying for now but only getting 1.5 - 2.1 Mbps. I was given an order number and I waited until the date I was given past.(01/25/18) I called in and was told my order was put into their system incorrectly, but this person corrected it.

    A few weeks pass and I get a call from a local Frontier employee checking to see if I really wanted to disconnect my service. He mentions how many problems their customer service is experiencing. I called in again and was given another order number and a new installed by date.(2/7/18) When it passed with nothing done I called the local Frontier person and he said they had sent him another disconnect order instead of a speed increase. It the middle of February now and my third order can't be found in their system, imagine that. (2-16-18).

    Original Review: Feb. 16, 2018

    Was quoted one price over the phone along with free installation. When the bill arrived the monthly charge was over double what was quoted. We were charged an activation fee and an equipment fee which I had explained we already had and didn’t need. When I called to rectify the charges I gave them the confirmation number I had been given but it didn’t mean anything to them. They claimed they weren’t showing anywhere written down that they had that special and the activation fee and equipment fee were non-refundable. This company shouldn’t even be in business. They are so fraudulent.

    Frontier has become very notorious for bait and switch. I signed up in February 2016 for Frontier FIOS when Verizon still had it. Had no problems, even after the Frontier transition. Until I signed up for TV service. TV service was promised at $125 a month for both that and internet. Wrong. Bill came out to $170 a month. Made complaints to Frontier Social Media and they promised me repeatedly they would take care of it and admitted they did wrong. Wrong on that. Filed an FCC complaint. Frontier stood by their billing practices and told me what to go do with myself.

    Filed a request on 2/6/18 to transfer my service to another unit a few hundred feet away from my present apartment in the same complex. I'm scheduled to move into my new apartment on 2/17. Frontier says they've scheduled a support visit for 2/17 to have the service setup. Started chat on 2/15 to confirm service appointment. Found they cancelled the 2/17 service visit without notifying me citing "the previous occupant didn't cancel their service", and then say that the next service visit is on 2/23 and scheduled an appointment without my authorization. Spoke with Wendy who refused to put me through to a Supervisor until I insisted repeatedly, citing "none available". Escalated to Frontier Executive Support. I cannot be without internet service and if this is a matter of moving the router... I can do that myself. I installed it myself when I moved into my apartment.

    I want Frontier to move my service as they promised on the 17th. It is their duty to report order problems to their customers well ahead of time instead of the customer having to find out two days before and have the potential to be without service for a week. Service that they are being charged for and having paid for. If anything, I at least would like to have internet service turned on. The TV service can wait.
