    I have Frontier (formerly Verizon) phone and internet service in west Los Angeles. After a beyond horrible experience with the Philippines service center, I found out about the LetMelindaKnow.ftr e-mail address, and everything got fixed very expeditiously. A "problem manager" called and gave me his contact number in case of future problems. Frontier says they are closing down the Philippines call center soon.

    The worst customer service I have ever experienced. One day my internet goes from 50/50 down to about 3/50 and I call for help. I had a difficult time trying to fix the issue as the tech support representative did not know anything about how networks actually work. The technician was essentially just reading the troubleshooting section of the manual to figure out what was going on. I finally got them to agree to send me a new router in hopes that was the issue. They had originally told me it would be sent next-day. That "next day" I came to find out the router was shipped normally and wouldn't be arriving for another week!

    And then when I did get the router it STILL didn't work. I had to argue with their evasive customer service for 30 minutes only to find out that the router ended up being faulty. They finally offered to send a technician out to see what's going on. Luckily the original router I had worked, though not at full speed. Now I have the field technician trying to fix the situation and he can't! Not because he doesn't know what he's doing, he's a contracted technician that actually knows what's going on, but because he tried calling the frontier techs to help resolve the issue only to have their support realize he's just a contractor and hung up on him! They don't care about their customers! Stay away!

    Worst experience ever. Got an appointment two weeks after calling. Technician installed equipment. It stopped working ten minutes after he left. Called customer service. Operator could not hear me after holding for 10 minutes. Called back. Operator told me it would take up to 24 hours for service to be in place even though it worked for 20 minutes. Waited 24 hours and called again. Operators walked me through troubleshooting. After 25 minutes internet connected. Ten minutes later it stopped. Called a second time. On phone for another 30 minutes. Went through same script. Same result. Worked for ten minutes then quit working. Called a third time. Explained previous two calls. Operators insisted on running through same script a third time. Same result.

    Worked for ten minutes then stopped. Called a fourth time. Operators tried to run through script a fourth time. I stopped her and insisted that a tech come out. It took 30 minutes to schedule a tech -- for two days later. Tech will arrive sometime between 8 am and 5 pm. (Isn't that wonderful and considerate of the folks at Frontier.) Tech shows up. I explain how it's likely that the equipment is defective. But what does he do? Exactly what the operators already had me do 3 times with no success. Tech leaves. Ten minutes later no internet. Next call I told them to take their service and shove it. I'll throw your equipment in the trash and you don't send me any bills. I took a hammer and smashed their modem and boxes and electronic gadgets into little pieces before depositing in the trash (I bet you didn't see the happy ending coming).

    I called to be disconnected from internet in the middle of may before I moved. Then I find out they didn't disconnect me and have billed me for the last 2.5 months. When I call to fix the error, I am treated rudely by CSRs. It takes over 40 minutes to get a non solution. I give up waiting on hold and the CSR took my number in case we got disconnected. NO CALLBACK. I call as if a NEW customer and a CSR answers in 10 SECONDS!!! I try this 3 times. They have no trouble at all in entertaining new customers - just keeping the ones they do have. I call back to solve billing problem - 2.5 hours total and 3 different CSR's later - NO SOLUTION!! All rude!!

    I want to return my router. 1st CSR gets my address to send prepaid label and box for return. I tell her no dice. I want a receipt. Google people that get screwed over by cable or internet companies for "not returning" equipment when they did! MILLIONS OF HITS!!! I was screwed by Time Warner Cable once like that many years ago. I am not going to play this game. I want a receipt. They tell me they won't do that for me. I call another CSR - she plain flat out tells me that they don't want any of Verizon's old routers returned and asks me to TAKE HER AT HER WORD!!! HAH!!! So don't worry about returning the equipment at all? I call the escalation office to resolve. I absolutely DO have to return the router or they would bill me. I was assured I could track the return package and confirm it was received by Frontier. We will see.

    Complete lack of training. Complete lack of any sense of reality at this company. Horrible experience. RUDE! Now if you don't mind... I must get back on the phone and make sure "Kerry" gets fired or retrained for telling me I don't have to worry about returning expensive gear to Frontier. Perhaps she can live with the hit on her credit because she is a pathetic underpaid and uneducated CSR - BUT I WILL NOT!!! STEER CLEAR!!!

    I sign up for Frontier internet on June 30th 2016 then they were supposed to come on July 6th to do the installation but one hour before the appointment time they cancel it and with no regard move it to the 9th and no show up either. After very very numerous call to customer service to try to figure it out what was going on they tell me was a mistake on the system and the best they can do is to say SORRY for not calling me to let me know what's going on like if they really it sorry they would do something. But that was all they could offer me or cancel my request for the service.

    Customer service at Frontier is very unhelpful, not very polite for most of them and not very well knowledge-based on their company options, not very suggestive... and besides that according to my neighbor who just switched to Cox the PRICE LOCK IS A SCAM... After 6 months he had Frontier they raise his price from $91.99 to $99.99 plus tax and the only explanation he basically got after getting bounce around and around talking to agents and managers was the same excuse everyone gets--THE SYSTEM!!

    I am a customer with Frontier and I am very unsatisfied!!! I recently moved & was having my internet transferred to new house. They were supposed to be here today between 8-5 pm and said to be here so they can come inside to do an installation, it has already been 1 week without Internet. I took a day off work to be here and was here all day. At 4pm no one had came yet or called so I called Frontier and the first lady I talked to said they had a technician in the field and they would be here. At 7pm still no one came or called. I called again & after being on the phone for 25 minutes the lady said the notes said they came but my gate was wired shut so they left an she would put it back in to process.

    I then asked for her supervisor and proceeded to tell her my gate is not wired shut and why didn't they knock on my door because they knew it was an installation they needed to be in my house. She said she would get me her supervisor and put me on hold. After 10 more minutes of being on hold I hung up then called back and talked to another representative. I told him the situation and said I wanted a supervisor he transferred me to new service department. That representative said he couldn't help me then transferred me to customer service.

    After 20 more minutes of being on the phone with Frontier, that guy then said the notes state that the technician came knocked and no one answered so left. So this time they didn't say anything about the gate and he rescheduled my installation for next week. I was home all day today. Did not leave my house once, no one came to my house today and if they "came" then why didn't the first person I talked to a 4pm say that. Why did she say they were still coming. And why didn't the second lady I talked to say anything about them knocking and leaving? They did not come to my house today, they did not knock and my gate is not wired shut!

    I was on the phone with your Frontier representatives for 45 minutes today while I have a 2 year old son that I was trying to get to bed as well. I got nothing resolved besides an inconvenience and a day lost of pay. After all this I told the last representative that I will not be paying for my Internet until it is turned on, this will be 2 weeks without use of it. He then transferred me again and there was a wait of 15 minutes which I don't have any more time or energy to waste on arguing with someone to get nothing resolved! I am a very unsatisfied customer and will be transferring my service once my year of service is up as well as reporting this! Today was ridiculous!

    Frontier Internet should be rated in the top 10 WORST companies! First, in Texas, they acquired all prior Verizon FIOS internet accounts and since their acquisition I would equate them with Sprint, Time Warner, or Comcast! When the internet went down, their customer representative was horribly rude to my wife on the phone trying to troubleshoot an issue which we knew would have no chance of being corrected from their "protocol". Then, to make it worse, like other subscribers, I was assessed a "termination fee" when I never ended my service and upon trying to correct the issue wasting numerous phone calls at least one hour in length each time only to be reassured that it would be corrected only to be back to square one!

    Just chatted with Archie. Set up auto-pay. However, after reviewing my account, there were two (2) $25 return check charges on last month's bill as well as this month. Also, I told Archie that I needed my auto payments to be deducted on the 7th of the month. Consultant, Keith, was nonchalant about the $25 fees and offered 'as a courtesy' to remove one of the $25 fees. I informed him that it was NOT a courtesy, but the right thing to do. He was very arrogant and tried to act as if it was my fault. It took me 3 hours and 4 'so-called' consultants to get ABSOLUTELY nowhere. As I informed 'Keith', I will take my complaints along with the other dissatisfied Frontier customers to the FTC. Hopefully, something can be done about this BOGUS company! Service sucks!

    I had Verizon and my bill was $153.00. Frontier took over my account and I called their customer service to lock into a long term contract so that my bill would be close to the same. This has been an absolute nightmare! I called on 06/17/16 - 4 days before my billing period so my bill would not be unreasonable. I was told that I would have a bill that was close to my Verizon bill and that it was all taken care of. When I received my bill it is $309.62. I have now called 4 additional times and get a different answer every time. On 06/29 I spoke to Alberto. I could not understand him because he did not speak good English. He then instructed me to just send $160.00 then he disconnected me (NO CALL BACK). Then I spoke to a woman named Paula, who told me that my bill was $159.96 plus taxes but she would call me back after she spoke to the promotions department to get an additional credit (NO CALL BACK).

    On 07/01/16 I called again to see what my bill actually is. I spoke to Ruth and she said she could see notes in the system but the bill still showed $309.62. She said that she would try and resolve my billing issue and call me back (NO CALL BACK). Then I called again today 07/06/16 and spoke to Christa and of course the bill still shows $309.62. She told me she could give me a few discounts but after she ran numbers my bill came to $254.64 plus tax. I asked to speak to a Supervisor but was told that she was too busy. I told Christa that I expected Stephanie (the supervisor) to call me back, but again NO CALL BACK. Frontier Communications has the worst customer service I have ever experienced!

    I have been a very unhappy Frontier customer for a couple of years since it bought the company that previously provided me with internet service. I cannot change providers since no other service is available in my area. Frontier has not responded quickly to repair problems. I have waited as long as a week to have repairs done. Like so many other review writers, I have been told that repair people are on their way and then no one appears. I am paying for a faster service but what I receive is still very slow and reliable only in that if there is a rain or thunderstorm I can be pretty certain that the service will be disrupted. I really wish that I had more choice as a consumer.

    3 weeks for installation, lied about promotions. First of all, no-show for the installation, twice. Did install everything on the third attempt, but it took me like a day on the phone to get it figured. Second, they lied about everything they possibly could: $100 gift card - 'forgot to add to your account', $5 discount for autopay - 'it will be applied to your second bill'. 'Oops, it's expired.'

    When calling Frontier to set up new customer service and bundle installation I was sold, by what I believed to be a professional sales rep, just the package I was looking for at a reasonable price. I spent a half hour setting up the install for a week in advance. I scheduled half a day off work to be home for the scheduled install. Once the technician had not arrived within the 2-hour window for installation, I gave another hour before calling Customer Service. After spending an additional half hour speaking to a non-English speaking rep I was given a phone number to reach my install tech. It turns out he gave me a wrong number.

    After spending even more time calling Customer Service to resolve this issue I was told the bundle I was sold is not even available in my area. I was not called or emailed to be notified my install was canceled and no Customer Service representative seemed to care about the how ** I was done or tried to make it right in any way. I will never recommend Frontier or Verizon to any friend, family or foe. In fact, I am ending my prepaid cell service with Verizon after this ordeal, just out of principle alone.

    Trying to have Frontier internet installed was a terrible experience. I spent an hour on the phone creating my account and scheduling an appointment for installation. The appointment was supposed to be two days after I moved into my new apartment. No one ever showed up or called on the day of installation. I then spent another hour on the phone with customer service trying to figure out what happened, and they couldn't even pull up my account in the system. I hung up in frustration and called back later to try and reschedule.

    After 45 minutes with this new customer service rep, she was able to pull up my account and schedule another appointment with me, three days after the original appointment. Yet again, no one showed up for the installation and I did not receive a call explaining why. I called customer service for the third time, spoke to an extremely rude woman who eventually transferred me to someone else. An hour and a half passes with customer service not able to pull up my account information AGAIN. I finally gave up and ordered Cox instead. Do not waste your time with this horrible company.

    Please, please, please stay away from this company. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I called 7 times in a 2 months span since they acquired Verizon Fios. The representatives are inept and unable to help you, each time you get transferred to a different department and I get placed on hold for at least 50 minutes. I have never taken the time to write a review (positive or negative), but I'm so frustrated with this situation, I felt the responsibility to warn other consumers to stay away from this company.

    As I'm typing this email, I'm on hold once again after my 7th call for over 55 minutes... and counting. It's not too much to ask to get a clean bill and to get the service I pay for without having to call each month to get my monthly bill corrected. At this point, I just want out, but I can't even get someone to answer the phone. I would give them a zero in overall customer service... PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY, YOU WILL REGRET IT.

    I received a quote from Frontier of $75 for TV, internet and phone service and a membership to Amazon Prime - a deal that is too good to be true and that's exactly what it was!!! My first bill was about $250. I called and my bill was reduced to $148. The frontier employee explained to me that the first bill is usually higher. I just received my next bill and it's for $155. Why? This is the second bill!!! This past weekend I noticed the same offer on the newspaper - $75 for TV, internet and phone service and a membership to Amazon Prime. I wonder who will be their next victims!! Service is not that great. TV freezes and the picture is distorted. I called technical support and they seem to be worse than the billing department. I was transferred several times because I was sent to the wrong departments. Terrible tech support!

When my original contract with VERIZON about to expires I call this so called company to renew my service to keep my monthly service price, so it was all set and done. Then I received all bunch of all new equipment that I didn't need so I called the CS and they told me it was an error on their end and fyi it took me more that 30 minutes just to get a live agent on the phone (really bad CS). Now I have to take those equipment the shipping company (hassle). Then I kept receiving these return boxes from them so I made another more than 30 minutes call just to tell this people to stop sending me return boxes.

    NOW this is the real problem my regular monthly bill of $186 is now $320. I have to make another 30 minutes call - the customer rep told me it's because I made changes on the account that is why my bill increased. Seriously??? WHAT changes are you talking about about?? I renewed my package deal. There was no changes or whatsoever. Same bundle service. I had enough with this company and made my decision to terminate the service this JULY 11.

    I had a 10:50 pm flight from LGA to DEN that was cancelled on 7/1. The customer service agent, his supervisor, and the supervisor's manager were absolutely horrible. The flight got cancelled, evidently due to the airport. No further explanation. What was worse was that they offered very few options. Since it was 4th of July weekend, they said there were no other flights out until Monday at 10:50 pm. Other options? Fly out of Philadelphia or Washington Dulles the next morning. And the immediate statement after that was that Frontier would not reimburse me for the car rental or any gas to get to the airport.

    The flight cancellation put me in a situation that would cause me to miss my son's wedding the next day. No way was that going to occur. So I jumped online and paid $1,000 for a ticket to get me to Denver the next day. Customer service agents at Frontier were patronizing, unapologetic and unsympathetic. They offered absolutely nothing except a refund: $300 for the ticket I purchased in February. Under such circumstances, airlines have partnerships with other airlines that allow for their passengers to get to their destination. Apparently, Frontier has no such relationship.

    It is not surprising that Frontier reports record profits since they're notorious for nickle-and-diming their passengers, especially since you have to pay for luggage regardless of whether it's carry-on or checked in. Seats are uncomfortable and no snacks or beverages are served during flights. You'd think they could afford to give passengers water without charging for it, especially with their record profits. It should also come as no surprise that CNN reports that Frontier ranks #11 of 13 of U.S. airlines based on customer satisfaction. Never again with Frontier. No amount of cost savings offsets the way they make customers feel. As consumers, we all deserve more, far more, than what Frontier delivers.

    In August 2015, I switched from Comcast to Frontier Internet on the promise of a 3-year price lock of $34.99/mo for 30mps/30mps service in Newberg, Oregon. Two months ago, my bill was increased to $39.99. I complained about the extra charge and was informed that an audit of their system revealed I was not enrolled in auto pay and that the increase reflected that. When I signed up for service, I was never informed that the price lock had anything to do with auto pay. Two different Frontier reps have assured me that my account would reflect the $34.99/mo. Now, two billing cycles later, I keep getting charged $39.99. Frontier is engaging in deceptive business practices and once I finish my contract in September, I plan on leaving.

Since then, I have had nothing but poor service and troubles with my bill. Frontier is unprofessional, have very poor customer services and are thief. They are stealing from their customers by charging them hidden fees. My usual payment is $143 dollar and I got a bill for $340 for upgrading my service. I have an installation fee of $80 when no one even came to my house to install anything. They prorated 75% of the cost of the new service for 4 days of usage. Now, I of course cancelled my service with them, but they say I am in a contract with Verizon and that I will get charge for a early termination fee.

    Up until July 1, 2016, I experienced relatively minor fluctuations in the use of my internet broadband service. On July 2, 2016, my internet download speed decreased abruptly to .24 Mbps. On July 3, 2016, I called Frontier and, after being shifted several times to different "technical support" staff, I finally got a tech that seemed competent. She advised me that the system was very slow by using some remote monitoring software. She advised me, by looking up my account information, that I was paying for a plan in which I should have a download speed of 30 Mbps. She then assigned a technician to come to my home to investigate the issue.

    The technician came to my home that same day and determined that my download speed was now approximately 2.6 Mbps. He also stated that the technician gave me incorrect information, and that I was in a service tier that could expect no more than 3 Mbps. Since I decided prior to July 1, 2016 to drop Frontier and shift my phone and internet service to Atlantic Broadband, I find this "coincidence" very disturbing. Just as a point of interest, Atlantic Broadband is providing download speed of 60 Mbps at a lower cost than what I have been paying Frontier for much less bandwidth.

    Recently received billing statement showing Digital Voice service which we never received, plus internet installation service which we had internet service already long before with Verizon, and took out our previous promotion which per previous phone communication with custom service that billing will not change. Called into their customer service, the guy's name Will (with southern accent) picked up. Told him that needed to revert back to original statement. After couple minutes, he said that he needs his supervisor to do this request. After holding on the line for 2 hrs, the supervisor still has not picked up. (Is this how Frontier does it? Avoid customer calls while charging them for services that are not performed?)

    About 30 mins holding on the line for the supervisor, I decided to call on a different phone line to their custom support. A lady picked up this time. I told her to remind Will to remind his supervisor that I'm still waiting on the line. She said that she is not aware of any Will in the customer service department, and that Will may be in a different customer service center.

    So instead of trying to reconnect to Will and his supervisor, this customer service lady started helping. She may not be the brightest, but she's trying hard... Supposedly the service is updated (fingers crossed, hopefully no surprises). While trying to credit us for services not performed, the phone line went dead. (Frontier, do you have an automated phone system where once detected a "credit," the phone line would automatically cut off?) I expect a call back, but never received... Great business practice... Overall, very dissatisfied. Is there a way to file a lawsuit for the mental suffering induced by Frontier Communications? I feel so aggravated, agitated, furious, etc.

    Worst communication and follow through. I took off of work for them to service my place with Internet. I had a window from 8-12 that the service person would be there. I was told in the beginning I had to be there and that they would call when they were 15 minutes away. I called the service at 11:45 to see if dispatch could give me an idea when they would be there. The person I spoke to the first time said they have no way to contact dispatch or the tech to see what their eta was. 2 hours later I called to see if the person was still coming. The girl I spoke to the second time said she had to check with dispatch to find out what the issue was. The girl came back on the phone after placing me on hold, she said they were backed up and the guy will be there before. The girl did say they would call me 30 minutes before the person arrived and that "if you need to run errand or do stuff go ahead."

    I said it would of been nice if they shared that with me prior to the day of the appointment. 2 hours later from that conversation they called to ask if they could reschedule. I just said "no just cancel my service I will go with Bright House." I would rather pay more for Internet for better customer service and follow through. Bright House did offer me a better price after I called them a second time. The first time the girl was more interested in selling me a package to make a commission off of me versus just listening to what I want. I got 100Mbps for $40 a month for 12 months and I wasn't locked into a contract. It was a month to month price. Verizon was $56 for a 2 year contract and 50 Mbps. I did consider Bright House before but the internet price was higher than what they quoted for Verizon shopping online. I got a better price calling Bright House a few times to get the right person who listens to what you want.

    I called to inquire about service options due to the need to reduce my monthly bill due to budget constraints, or cancel if necessary. This first call was delightful, I talked to a very friendly rep, eager to help me out, but apparently not trained and knowledgeable. The call was early on or around May 7th. The rep offered me an Internet upgrade from 75/75 to 100/100 for $40 per month - a savings of $20. I canceled my residential phone, additional savings, the cost of the DRV was reduced from $39.99 to $27.99. I was getting Showtime for $17.99 per month and upgraded to all premium channels for a total of $32.99 per month. An overall reduction of about $60 in monthly services, plus the promise of a better internet experience. A technician was dispatched to my home to upgrade the internet service. When I received my next bill, I noticed not one of these changes were reflected so I make another call.

    This representative informed me that the internet service was not as quoted, but was $99 per month, and claimed no proof in their records that I contacted them and promises made. I told her to downgrade the internet service back to 75/75 as I would not/could not pay and supposedly she made the other changes that should have been made and told me to wait for my next bill to see credits. My next bill is a total disaster, now up to an outrageous $820.95. It's a huge mess and I have made 3-4 calls to fix it. I agreed to pay $54.99 for internet service and cancelled FiOS TV. I have no confidence that my bill will be corrected without many more attempts. This has been the worse billing and customer service experience of my life. The FCC should have not allowed this acquisition because frontier cannot handle it.

    Since Frontier took over Verizon their service is rather terrible. I have lost channels and unable to use certain widgets. All the links were supposed to have been worked out within the first week of them taking over. It's been a few months now and still the matter has not been resolved. My most recent complaint is a billing matter. I paid my bill as scheduled on 6/29/16. I received my confirmation number. I thought all was well until I checked my bank account on 7/2/16 and noticed they charged me twice. Over $300.00 removed from my account.

    After a very heated discussion with a representative and a supervisor there was no action taken. They tried to convince me that I had made the payment twice. It's not rocket science. Had I made 2 payments I would have received 2 confirmation numbers. I only received 1. They informed me that there was nothing they could do since "I made 2 payments". They would be unable to refund my account due to it taking up to 10 business days and possibly longer due to the holiday weekend. That would make my account past due. Very dissatisfied with this company. I wonder how many times they've done that to people without them ever noticing. I would not recommend anyone to use Frontier Communications.

    Let's start. I placed order for new services. I wanted to buy more products from Frontier. The service was not provided on time as promised. Called customer service two days later, bounced from 3 separate CS representatives. Each time I was asked same customer identification information (don't they have a proper CRM system?), poor telephone call quality - even asked the CS rep to call me back twice in an attempt to get better quality... Did they buy the cheapest IP Telephony system?

    Finally told that the initial CS rep with whom I place the order did not assign a due date on their system, thus no service was delivered. OK, so it was an internal process issue - what does that have to do with the customer? I was told that I (the customer) had to speak to another department (bounced 4th time) to correct this. CS rep #3 was unable to schedule activation date... Ok. So, because of internal company issue, the customer is asked to participate in the resolution.

    Now I spoke to CS rep#4, she scheduled activation to occur in 4 days. She did not know why it would take 4 days to activate 3 new channels to my digital cable service! Whatever, I was so frustrated after 50 minutes of bouncing around and playing phone tag, I asked CS#4 to put me through to someone to file official complaint (to both vent and feel better and maybe help their CS out with giving them constructive feedback to maybe help them address systemic process issues)... placed on hold for another 15 mins.

    Finally I hanged up and redialed. The next CS rep, call her CS#5 told me politely that she would take my complaint, pass it onto her manager, who would then pass it onto corporate... OK - now I was done with Frontier. Told CS#5 not to take my obvious frustration personally, she just happened to be the last person to pick up my call. Informed CS#5 that I would not lodge formal complaint. I am totally dissatisfied with this Customer Experience. I will vent on social media (or Consumer Affairs!) and plan to move my cable service to Dish, TWC or Aluminum Dixie Cups, whatever! Now, I feel a bit better... too bad Frontier lost a good customer (240USD+/month, past 5 years...) probably the final straw I needed to becoming a cord-cutter and moving to internet only TV and Movie services... sincerely, "No-Longer-A-Frontier-Customer."

    I called Frontier requesting a new home number on June 22, 2016. I was on the phone with the rep for 40 minutes, and the end result to that lovely experience ended up with two telephone numbers. She assured me that in 48 hrs. one of my two numbers would be active, to try them both, one of them is sure to work. That left me with a bad experience, considering Frontier is suppose to be this bad ass company. Well 48 hrs. came and went.

    I called back on June 24 and spoke to a new rep. It gets worse. She tells me that the first rep. that I spent 40 mins. with failed to submit my request, but that she would be happy to submit a new work order. "But", I was like "oh lordy now what", you know you're in trouble when you hear the word "But", "you'll have to wait another 48 hrs. starting Monday June 27th, being that the 24th is a friday". At this point I was like "sure go ahead but please make sure to hit Submit." It does not end here folks, that would be too easy.

    The 29th arrives and as we can all guess still no results. Back on the phone with another spectacular Frontier rep. She tells me that they are behind on work orders and that I got pushed back to the 30th. I swear, I just lost all faith in this company, I mean, really, how hard is it to change a home number. My wife told me to relax and so I did. I told the rep. what's one more day. And so as every one can guess on the 30th still nothing. I called again, explained this same story that I'm posting to this new rep. He sounded like he had a grasp on the situation. He told me that he put a rush on this new work order, that by July first I can hand out my new home number, that if I had any concerns call him back July 1st.

    Today is July 1st 7:00 p.m. and still no number. This time I called for a floor supervisor, explained in detail the entire episode, I was pissed, I mean who wouldn't be. But I wasn't shouting, I was blunt and to the point. All he said to me was "you need to relax, I don't talk to angry people", and he disconnected my call.

    Well, where do I begin. Ever since Frontier Communications acquired Verizon Fios, I have had nothing but technical related issues. First, the caller ID, widgets and other features have not worked for months. I tried troubleshooting the problem myself by resetting the cable boxes but to no avail. I contacted them on numerous occasions to find out when these features would be reinstated; however, no one had a clear answer. I'm now at my wits end. I contacted Frontier on June 8, 2016 when I discovered that my phone and internet service were not working. The first call I was told to go and disconnect all set top boxes and reconnect everything (I'm employed as a Service Tech for Frontier, lol); needless to say, I did as I was instructed and was told to wait for 15 minutes for the troubleshooting process to finish. After waiting two hours, my services had not been restored.

    I decided to contact them again, after being on the phone for another 40:38 minutes the technician was unable to assist me; however, he did complete a service ticket and told me earliest appointment that they had would be in two weeks. Really??? After explaining that a disabled family member residing in my home, he put me on hold and spoke to his supervisor who gave me an appointment for June 10, 2016 at 12:00 pm. In the meantime, I received a message from a Frontier representative indicating that the problem had been resolved and for me to contact their office to cancel the appointment. Again, I did what was asked of me, and contacted their office. In speaking with the customer service representative, she advised me to keep the appointment because they were having numerous technical problems in the area and that if I cancelled, it would be weeks before they could send out a technician; therefore, I kept the scheduled appointment.

    On June 10, 2016, I left work at 11:15 am to ensure that I arrived home prior to the scheduled appointment time. Guess what, the technician never showed up. As of June 30, 2016, my caller ID, widget do not work and as of yesterday, my WiFi service is down. My experience with your company has been the worst of any that I have ever experience. Can't wait for my contract to be up, I'm surely going elsewhere.

Continued with Frontier for $64.99/mo for 100/100 mbps service. She also said this rate would be guaranteed for two years. This new rate was confirmed five days later on May 5th by Frontier Chat assistant “Dustin.” It is now July and I still have never received a bill lower than $107.99 after five chats and one phone call to Customer-NO-Service.

    The best they can do now is $74.99 for 100/100 month-to-month service with price guarantee. Verizon Fios customer service was horrible and it appears that Frontier is no better. So, I can just be grateful for Fios internet and suck up the $10 difference (since it is $33 less than my current rate) or I can look for a new internet provider, like Charter Communications...

    I was switched from Verizon Fios without warning back in April 2016. I did not have access to On Demand for 2 months, but still had to pay for it. Every time I call CS or a tech they sound like they don't even want to be there in the 1st place. I don't blame them, but at the end of the day they are getting paid to do a job so they should sound professional. Last week I placed an order to have a separate internet line installed for my job because I work from home. I was told the tech would be here between 8 am and 12 pm. I live chatted at 1 pm to see their ETA because I could not bear to call in again. I was told the window was 8 am-6 pm for any service orders as if I made up the 8 am-12 pm time frame. I received a call about 1:20 pm and a message that I needed to call about my service call. The service dept. said they did not see a pending service call so transferred me to CS.

    I was actually transferred to tech dept who was a sweetheart and as helpful as he was able to be, but still had to transfer me to CS. The lady that was helping said I was called to confirm I needed the service call since I already have internet. I told her I obviously Do since that's what my order was for and I find it ridiculous that they are waiting until the day of to ask me this. She said my order was for 50/50 at $45.99/mo. I said, "NO, I was offered 25/25 for $34.99/mo. She said, "Well, we haven't offered that for years." I asked for a supervisor since she couldn't offer the price I was quoted. The supervisor said only grandfathered contracts can get 25/25. I said, "That's fine, but you should still honor the price I was quoted since he offered me something you don't even provide, the time I have had to deal with this, the tech not even being here yet and the delay on my order until the day of." He said No he can't.

    He said the calls are randomly recorded which I know is not true at all for any call center. ALL CALLS GET RECORDED. THEY ARE JUST RANDOMLY monitored. FYI for everyone. Then he said after placing me on hold AGAIN for the millionth time that a tech cannot come until 8 days from today. I freaking lost it because additional equipment needs to be installed and the tech needs time to do it. I told him this was already known if I placed the order last week! The order hasn't changed! It's the same service call so what is the big deal? He kept saying he understands... no... actually he doesn't because if he did he would expedite this damn service call considering the ** they just put me through.

    I asked for his supervisor and he said 48 hours until they call me back but they will tell me the same thing as him. I asked for the corporate phone #. He said he doesn't have it, to look on their website. I said, "So as a supervisor of a call center you mean to tell me you do not have your corporate office's phone number?" He lied and said no.

Over the past month, I have spent DAYS on the phone with countless reps trying to fix the mistakes that have occurred by this inept company.

    My internet was recently disconnected by Frontier's negligence. They even admitted this- I'm so glad that these phone calls are recorded....for "quality assurance purposes". I even started a folder with the many pieces of correspondence that I've received from Frontier. One day, in my mailbox, I received three pieces of mail from Frontier- one was a disconnect notice and the other read "Balance due: $0.00." Boggles my mind. I can take nothing at face value with Frontier. There are no call backs, no badge IDS to refer to... just names and empty promises. Next stop? We'll find another internet provider.

    Worst company ever. Unfortunately, we live in a protected area for Frontier which means that there are no competitors allowed. How the government can allow this is beyond me. Along with this type of protection, it virtually ensures that there is no concern about the quality of product or the type of customer service they provide. We have had nothing but problems with both the phone service and especially the internet service. The last example of their poor service is when I phoned them on Friday, June 24, 2016 to advise that my internet service was out once again. We went through all of their troubleshooting (which I had already done prior to calling them) and then they said that a technician would have to come out and repair it.

    This was scheduled for Monday, June 27, 2016 between 8 am and 5 pm. We waited all day (after taking a day off from work) and finally at 4 pm we phoned again to see if they were still going to come. We were assured that they would. Big surprise, they never showed and never phoned. So, this morning I phoned them again and of course they said "we are so sorry". After being put on hold several times the representative said that for some reason the ticket was placed on hold and she was trying to find out why. She finally came back and said that they decided that there was no need to come out to the house that it was an external problem and they were working it that way. I asked why we weren't told this initially or even when we phoned at 4 pm the day before but she did not have an explanation.

    I asked if there was an expected time or date for the problem to be resolved and she could not tell me anything other than they were working on it. So, I'm out a day's pay and still have no internet service. The Frontier representative wanted to know if there was anything else she could help me with. I found this utterly stupefying and hilarious. Why would you want a company so incompetent to help you with anything? They are a joke and we are left having to deal with them because of their protected status. Fine politics.

    I was with Verizon and had cancelled my services on the 2nd of April. I called Frontier and told them so and they gave me confirmation number for the cancellation. Still they show that I cancel the account on the 21st of April which is wrong. This is for their benefit because when I request the refund of the $58.37 that they owed me they say that I have to wait 90 days after the cancellation date (for them the 21st), and then wait another 15 or 20 business days. This could be equal to 120 days or maybe more. When I asked why this delay, it's their policy they say. They keep your money and they refund it when they want. Is somebody monitoring a company like this?

    I had Verizon internet and cable and was paying $104 per month. I decided to add a phone line in December 2015 and was told that my bill would be $116 per month including taxes & fees. My bill arrives for the next month and it's $160. I called and, after much effort, reluctantly agreed for my permanent bill to be around $130 including taxes and fees. I paid that amount for three months and then FRONTIER took over. They told me that I owed them $170 and I strongly disagreed. Amber, a billing supervisor with FRONTIER in Washington, told me that if we took the phone off it would be $106 including taxes and fees. I get a bill for $134 and I called to complain. They tell me that they're sorry but that is just what the bill is going to be - even said that she may have misquoted me but that they felt like the bill was a fair price.

    Having had so many issues with Verizon and now Frontier with billing over the last year and a half, I know the specific questions to ask. However, they will tell you what you whatever they need to tell you to keep your business and then charge you whatever they want. 100% of the time the "misunderstanding" has worked in their financial favor and I'm convinced they intentionally mislead customers in order to get a few extra dollars each month from thousands of customers. They won't answer direct questions and use evasive tactics when you question their shady actions. I've filed a formal complaint with the Office of the Attorney General in Texas and hope that something can be done on a legislative level to reign in their poor business practices.

It takes over an hour each time to get request and each time they add 2 more weeks. If we do not pay the bill they would charge late fee, interest charge and by now after 4 months collection agency would have involved.

Service is not always up to par with was we paid for especially in the evenings. Additionally, customer service is hard to reach because they put you on hold for a long time. Don't be fooled when you can and talk to someone because they will transfer you to someone else and let you hang there forever. If I could give them a zero I would.

    Verizon FIOS Rocked. Yes, it was expensive, but for what you got, with the quality picture, online viewing from any device, on demand, DVR features etc. it was the best experience we could have. However, when Frontier took over, my internet would drop frequently causing constant issues with my job, forcing me to drive into the office. But when I called them to complain they stated I would have to make an appt for the tech to check the issue out. I would take a day off work and wait for no tech to show up. After a few weeks of this, I finally got a tech to show and I was told they would have to replace my equipment which they did - which made no difference.

    Then there was the issue of on demand not working, then you cannot view their content online because online system wasn't showing us as having a frontier account. Then you couldn't search programming at all to set up a recording. This wasn't just for a few weeks, or a month - after 2 months it still didn't work after frequent phone calls. It would take our calls over half an hour of waiting to be answered, then another half an hour of explaining yes, we were in tampa. We were verizon. Frontier bought the tampa market before they would figure out how to look us up. When I told them enough was enough, they needed to start giving us some credit as the bill was high with the bare minimum of television, and poor internet. They were unwilling to give us any kind of credit. So enough was enough. I cancelled them. I won't pay their $527 bill for crappy service.

He kept acting like he was doing me a favor trying to get me this or that... all the while threatening me with an "early termination fee," even though my two-year contract expires in 1 month... how much could it be??? I asked him how much the early termination fee was, and he said "oh, I can't see that unless I actually do it." WHAT??? Really???

    I have never been so upset with a TV supplier. I was perfectly happy with Verizon Fios before the transfer to Frontier. I have spent at least 10 hours on the phone with Frontier fixing multiple issues that were not my fault. At one point I called to fix OnDemand services and they ended up turning my internet off. To make matters worse, they couldn't figure out how to fix it over the phone. They were reluctant to send someone out to fix it as well. They have no records of this happening (what's new?) so therefore they will not refund me for the loss of service.

    Today, I was calling again to resolve, and they of course could not find my account with my phone number (why is that all of a sudden an issue?) then finally they were able to access. However, we got disconnected (I had full bars on my phone) and the customer service rep never called me back. So much time wasted with Frontier.

    I should have left the second it was changed from Verizon Fios to Frontier Communications. I saw the change in service although it was said to remain the same. For example, the internet wasn't working well anymore, too many times it would disconnect or weak signal. I also lost some cable channels. The bigger problem is now my bill. I make sure to pay my bill on time and I do. My regular bill comes in at about $169. Last week, I checked my balance and it showed to be at 0.00. I wanted to make sure it was correct so I called and it was confirmed to me that my balance was 0.00. I checked it earlier this week (Monday) and now it's at 338.00. I do not understand how this could have happened.

    When I called the representatives that I spoke to were very rude and weren't patient. They did not clearly explain to me why my balance happened to be that high. They just said I had not paid my bill since April which is not true nor possible. If that were true, my balance would have not appeared to be 0.00 and like I've said, I pay on time. When I called on Monday for the bill issue, I also asked for them to disconnect the telephone and cable service and just leave the internet. They said it will be disconnected in three days (Yesterday). I called again today because it's already the fourth day and they have not disconnected it and I will not allow to be charged another day. This time I asked to have the whole service cut off because they're clearly not being honest. Still, they said they can't disconnect the service. So what am I supposed to do now?

    Originally I had called in for a downgrade on My Video package! I advised the customer rep that I was paying approx. 200.$ /month for the old Verizon Triple Play with video, data, and voice. He suggested that I get a higher data package and that they would need me to call in and they would waive the installation charge. He advised me that they would have to change the service from coax to cat 5 wire for this speed package! I am a retired Verizon Fios Technician and I ran the Cat 5 wire from the Fiber Optic box to my router and a technician showed up unannounced and I explained to him that I had the wire in place! He then had a control center provision the service for a faster data package! Everything was fine, although the video was still with the same package. Nothing had changed on how it was suppose to be.

    My next bill was at an alarming price of 134.00$ and I was very excited until my next bill where I received a bill for 629$>. Frontier had change my old Verizon discount package on all aspects of my Triple Play service. My long distance carrier had been dropped when in fact I never requested that change! I had an unlimited long distance package and I had calls on my bill that should not of occurred! After some phone calls to Frontier they dropped my bill to 407$ and still persisted to try and put me back the way I was since the customer rep never advised that I would lose my ex-employee package at all levels! They kept telling me that it would be put back only to hear from some else that it could not go back to the way it was! To me it was unethical to not inform a customer and only to find out that their customer reps are commissioned based! If they are driven by commission the only one that will suffer will be the customer.

    I left an email with an employee at Frontier who would look into the matter and she advised me that they would forward it to her billing team! They would probably get back to me in 3 to 5 days! My next notice of my bill was 282$ and I decided to pay it before it was due. I went on Vacation only to come back to a TV service that had less channels than my digital antenna. I noticed that my next bill was already posted for 339$. I had checked for emails and voice mails and there were no calls from Frontier! It did not matter what I had to say and no one really seemed to care about my situation!

    I called in to cancel my services and I explained that I could no longer keep them and all of sudden they were talking that they could put me on a package deal with a contract! This was never discussed with me with all the customer reps I had talked to! I cannot remember how many calls I had made! I decided to keep the internet and downgrade it to 50 meg package and I was told it would be around 50$/month and there would be a downgrade fee of 40 to 50$! I said ok and after I hung up I get an email from Frontier stating, "Thank you for purchasing the internet virus protection and malware package from Frontier." I never asked for this! I called back and also cancelled the data service as well!

    I don't think that I am done with all the issues. I also had to call them to send me the boxes to send all the equipment back! I know that I am not the only casualty. All I can say is be carefully calling Frontier for any service order activity and repair! Don't call after hours, you may get a recording that says you will have to wait 'til the next business day!

I called today to confirm the appointment that is tomorrow and they told me that the appointment was cancelled because someone had already come to my house and fixed the issue. But the issue wasn't fixed -- how could someone close the ticket and cancel the appointment when I still had no internet connection. They couldn't tell me - only could open up the 3rd ticket and tell me that someone would show up at my house/front door this time. They are terrible.

    I am the manager of 18+ rental apartments. Tenants reported that they cannot get Internet & TV services. We called on a Thursday or Friday and had to wait until Tuesday the following week for the repair which for paying guests is absolutely unacceptable. These guests paid $390.00/night and not having TV or Internet access is unacceptable - only because FRONTIER does not have enough repair technicians who could come out and do repair work. Next, when the repair person came out he told us what the problem was: "The neighbor got new service and the person who installed the new service, disconnected OUR wire to give the neighbor service!"

    When we asked WHY someone would do that he answered that he would have done the same thing - cutting someones cable to give it to someone else because he didn't know if anyone in OUR apartment is still using the service. Please tell me, how is something like this acceptable??? Horrible business ethics - laziness?? Ignorance?? Frontier didn't care about our account in regards repairing it asap and letting us wait for almost 5 days and then finding out that our wire was disconnected and given to our neighbor???

    We have at least 18+ accounts with former VERIZON and were happy with their service, but FRONTIER is driving us away and I am considering taking all accounts to COMCAST. Imagine if FPL would not come out, or a week later, when a wire is down and people don't have AC?? This is just not acceptable how FRONTIER thinks they can treat customers. I am just asking for a quick repair (and I run a business, but that should not make a difference to privately owned accounts!!) because I am paying my bill on time! If we as customers don't pay our bill on time, they are pretty fast charging "Late Fee's"....maybe I should ask for money back for not providing service for a week.

    I contracted with Verizon for 100/100 MBPS speed back in January 2016. Everything was great. On Feb 28th, I called Verizon to notify that I would be moving to a new residence (in the same city, and same ZIP code even) and that I would like to transfer my service to the new location. Verizon disconnected the old service 02/29/16 and set up new place on 03/03/16. The first problem I came across was I noticed that I was being billed for a new speed of 150/150 MBPS which I never requested or authorized. I called Verizon to get it straightened out. They were going to "open a hard ticket for me", "listen to the phone call" and get it taken care of. The next bill I got was from Frontier. No one told me my account had been sold (or hijacked, as I call it). Now Verizon would not answer any questions... Said I had to contact Frontier. This has been a battle ever since.

    The long and short of it is this. Frontier would not honor my 2-year contract with Verizon for 100/100 speed at 45.99 per month. So they made a new deal with me for $54.99/month with $5.00 discount for auto pay. They would "get back with me" after the new bill was cut to adjust off any unwarranted charges. Needless to say... Frontier workers are liars. They won't even live up to the new contract made between their "supervisor" and I via the chat line. I have made copies of all my "chat sessions" with Frontier and in which I can prove discrepancies and lies about promises made to me. Stay far far away from FRONTIER. I am hoping that some attorney will begin a class action suit, as they (I am quite sure) are going to attempt to bill me a huge sum of money.

    Once again they had to send out a tech. This guy was very nice and after an hour on the phone with his tech they got me up and running but at 4mbps - what? That is really slow. I decided do go with Comcast. I can get 100mbps for the same price. I was told that it would be two weeks before they could switch since Frontier would not release my phone number for 10 days. What, now I am held hostage with Frontier. Got switched to Comcast but could not receive calls from anyone who had Frontier as their Carrier. Why you ask, because Frontier had not released my number from their queue. Comcast had to call them again after 5 days to get them to release it. Hopefully it will get done.

    Now they are charging me for 2 months of services that have not even occurred yet (In June I received a bill for June and July. What happened to being charge one month at a time). Spoke with Curtis (Supervisor) from Frontier about adjusting my bill and honor the quote the agent gave me for cancelling my TV service. Instead of honoring the quoted amount he wanted to give me another 2 year contract. All I want to do is run as far away as possible from Frontier. CAN'T WAIT UNTIL AUG 2017 when old contract is up!!!

    I never had any problems with my TV/Internet until Frontier Communications took over Verizon. They are absolutely the worst company I have ever dealt with. They've continually lied to me. You spend hours holding on the phone waiting for someone to blame YOU for their problems. I wanted my cable TV removed since we don't use it. They tried to make me pay an early termination fee, even though I wasn't under contract. Then I got that fee waived by filing a complaint with the state AG. I want to cancel their service and they want to charge almost 200.00 for termination. I hate this company.

    I am part of the growing number of extremely dissatisfied customers of Frontier Communications. I was forced to accept them as my Cable Carrier when Verizon abandoned their customers. I have had one problem after another. Only about a third of the movies and TV shows I purchased are showing on my On Demand. I had nothing showing in my "Bookmarks" in "On Demand." I just got through trying to register to access my account with no success. Site "timed out" twice and I gave up. The first (and last) time I called to find out the technical problem I had, I was on the phone 2 hours and 45 minutes.

    The "technical support" couldn't find my account. I asked to speak to a supervisor several times. I had to repeat this request over and over again. I had to talk over the person to finally get them to switch me to a supervisor. I then waited for over 45 minutes only to get my call dropped. I called back and had to go through the same experience. I know there are many more customers very dissatisfied with Frontier Communications. Other than changing my services (which I am going to do), can we do anything about this problem? I feel I need to take more action, but I don't know who to contact.

    A few months back we had signed up with Frontier's DSL high-speed internet. They gave us a gateway to use (router/modem combo) and it worked fine for a while, but then it started needing reset constantly everyday just for it to work. I decided to turn the wireless off and use a separate router. That seemed to make the internet work a little bit better, but it's still trash. The download/upload speeds are ** ridiculous! I'm talking 200ish down and 500ish up kbps. We don't run very many devices on the internet. Imagine one person trying to watch YouTube. It just doesn't work!

    Oh, and in the evening you can kiss the damn speeds goodbye. As if they even worked right in the morning. I'm so tired of suffering with this slow ass internet. I'm tech savvy and everything is alright on our end. We are even near the control center for the internet. The company can burn to the ground! Did I mention we signed up for 3MBPS which is the fastest they claim that we can get in our area, because we are considered a rural area, yet we live in the city. Frontier keeps taking on new customs EVEN THOUGH they know it's congested and they can't even expand enough for the current customers they have. It's very hard to even research to get school work done.

    I am sick of this company. I thought maybe that little trash gateway they gave us was shot. When you try and call to get a new one, they give you the same damn runaround EVERY TIME! "Oh, it's high demand in your area, we are working on it. That's why you constantly have to reset your gateway modem." Really? Why the hell would maintenance be going on for months and months on end JUST in my service area? BS! I don't care if you're doing maintenance, I shouldn't have to reset the POS 15 times in one hour. I'm SO SICK OF IT.

    I know thousands of other customers are upset, but I don't think they know the stress I have had to deal with while with this company. I've even asked them to come out and check the lines, but they want to charge an arm and a leg for that. It shouldn't have to be that hard to give your customers the internet that they deserve. After a long day of busting my ass, I think I'm very well entitled to come home and be able to use my internet. Is that so much to ask for, Frontier? You have a one-star rating with this website. How does that make you feel? Pretty damn **, I hope! Someone needs to knock this company off of the market. This company doesn't do anything right!!! Beyond pissed.

Our service was immediately compromised and I couldn't even pay my bill online so the rep told me to wait for the paper bill. By the time it arrived I had to pay for two months service and later when talking with customer service was chided for "being late" on that bill that they would not let me pay. We cancelled the service and have been overcharged and they refuse to send a refund for our overpayment. You simply cannot reason with stupid. Anyone considering this provider BEWARE!!!

    We are part of the Verizon sell to Frontier in SoCal and we are NOT happy campers. Everything was ok up until two weeks ago - we had a few shows drop off the DVR and the Internet had randomly dropped for a moment but nothing serious that we had to call about. Then two weeks ago our phone quit working. After multiple calls and multiple unique explanations we still do not have service. The latest attempt this morning to call and get the phones fixed resulted in the rude CS lady telling us that if they can't fix it remotely we would have to have a tech come out at the earliest appointment, that being in two days on Thursday. When the CS was told that no one would be home before 3:30, she said she would schedule the latest available slot and someone would be here prior to 3:30. Prior? Ok, we will see how that goes. Why can't they get their stories straight, and why did it take two weeks for someone to say that we needed a tech to come out?

    We have young teens at home alone for a few hours some days while the grown ups are at work, and we rely on the home phone to stay in contact with them. I'm going to have to get a TracFone today and break my no cell phone for the kids rule just because Frontier cannot manage to keep the phone working - a feat that Verizon never had a problem with. There is literally no telling when we are going to have that phone back in working order, and I'm curious to see if Frontier charges us for the tech visit.

    Had great service with FiOS for 100mb internet only. When the cutover happened, my throughput went immediately down to to 20mb and sometimes it only goes to 4 MB. I chatted with their online support about 1 month after the cutover (I gave them time since migrations are usually painful) and they were completely helpless. They essentially could not tell what plan I had, and said that there was no problem since I was at least been able to connect to the internet. I explained that I did not appreciate paying for 100mb plan and not receiving it. They then offered to reboot my router, and explained I had to call billing for further assistance. We called billing and they transferred me to support again, this is the usual, reboot router, try from multiple devices on a wired connection. All of this of course results in the same result which is slow. Keep in mind none of my hardware has changed since the cutover, and it is a brand new home with new equipment.

    We had Verizon for seven years with no trouble. Then Frontier took over. Our contract for television, internet and telephone was due to expire and the rep recommended we just transfer the account into another family member's name to take advantage of the two year contract at the teaser rate so we did. We wanted to keep the number we've had for the last 10 years and she said that would be no problem. Guess what? BIG PROBLEM. Not only did the technician come out on the wrong day after I had scheduled it a month in advance but the brand new router does not allow my printer to connect to it. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. Now I am out more money for a newer printer and haven't gotten my old telephone number assigned back to me. I have currently been on hold, transferred, bounced around from Texas to Mexico to India for the last five hours. Each rep transfers me to the person that can help me. Lol.

    Now I am currently on hold for the last 90 minutes waiting to speak to a supervisor I am picturing looks suspiciously like the man behind the curtain in the wizard of oz who will probably transfer me yet again. It's sheer willpower that keeps me from screaming as I listen to their monotonous hold music and overly sweet and insincere apologies for my inconvenience while they thank me for patiently waiting.

    My previous BBB complaint with Frontier Communications, # **, involved the same money they still have after I canceled service on April 8th, 2016. Unfortunately, I had autopay set up with Verizon, and when Frontier took over my account **, the auto pay went with it. I canceled service on April 8th but was told it would take THREE billing cycles to get my $171.87 back. In the meanwhile, Frontier AGAIN billed me for $102.52, and TOOK that charge OUT of the credit they owed me on April 8th. Therefore, Frontier is taking 3 months (3 billing cycles) to send me back the remaining $69.35 they owe me. If I did not CALL today, they never would have acted on the $102.52. Brittany from Frontier today put in an 'adjustment' to send me the $102.52 BUT that will take ANOTHER three billing cycles to be returned.

    SO, in summary, Frontier took $171.87 from my bank because Verizon let them, is taking THREE months to return $69.35 instead of the $171.87 they took, billed me $102.52 for service I didn't have, and only because I called today are they sending me the $102.52 IN ANOTHER THREE MONTHS. They are taking SIX months to send me money they stole on April 8th. Can you do anything about this company? I want the entire $171.87 now.

    Update: Shannen from the Office of the President tells me that I am NOT entitled to the $102.52 for reasons that are unclear to me, something about billing in advance. She said I am ONLY entitled to the $69.35 because apparently they have figured out a way to steal the $102.52 from me. Can you help?

    Where do I begin. My company purchased Verizon for our internet and telephone service. We received one piece of mail at the end of March from Verizon stating they had sold a portion of their company to Frontier. Just a couple of weeks later we had no phones/no internet. After several attempts to call them, put on hold, then conveniently disconnected I finally got someone and was told they could not get someone out to our company for 4 days. Yes 4 days for a business account! However, when they no showed on the 4th day it took yet another 2 days to have someone come out. They gave us internet and telephone, but the cable they used went down the sidewalk, over a parking lot, and in front of a house, and then on the front entrance of a company. It then took 2 months for us to lose internet and telephone again. Then another 5 days to find out they couldn't fix their own problem.

    We are on day #7 with no internet/no phones. I'm assured "Steve" would be here by the end of the day. It's now 6 pm and no call and no sign of "Steve". How does a company believe this type of service is acceptable? Our company has take a severe loss of income and being it's the second time in 2 months, recovery is questionable. There is always another company to take business away from us.... however, where we are located, Brighthouse, Dish, AT&T do not service this area - at least not yet. It is my understanding Frontier has outsourced their customer service to overseas. Although it explains the lack of knowledge and experience of Frontier employees, it does not help us get the service we pay for and deserve. I urge Consumer Affairs and their readers to please help us understand why service is just not as important anymore... or do something with these complaints.

The past few weeks I have been having trouble with TV pixelating constantly and have never had this problem with Verizon FIOS. I have called Frontier numerous times and cannot get it fixed. On Saturday my TV was still pixelating and then the picture froze on HD channel but regular channel worked. Called again and tech told me to undo cable line from box which I did on previous call also. Of course it did not work and now I had no signal to that TV. Tech said they would send someone to my house the next day (Sunday) any time between 8 am and 5 pm. I also called on Sunday to confirm that they would be arriving and was told yes they would call me half hour before they arrived. Of course after staying home all day no one showed up.

    Called again and spoke to 2 different people with 2 different answers. Finally I asked to speak to a supervisor and someone did answer when forwarded. Said they were a supervisor. I was told I did not need a tech to come to my residence and they were committed to fix it by midnight. Needless to say I still do not have service to that TV. Called back this morning and this time I was told they do not work on weekends and ticket was still open and they would be working on it. I have sent 2 complaints to Florida Attorney General, not that I expect that will do any good. I can't believe this company is allowed to stay in business. Everyone you speak with lies. I also tried to check the ticket status online and that doesn't work either. Needless to say I will be looking for another cable provider.

    As a solutions architect, I know how it is for mergers to take place, the amount of records, the legal aspects, and the huge tasks at hand. I deal with many different internet providers throughout the United States and from my experiences, Frontier Communications is the worst at running a smooth internet service provider, communicating, the worst infrastructure in place to handle customer care, and the worst in honoring requests or responding to their customers. Any customers I encounter who has Frontier Communications, I will personally assist them for FREE to transfer them to another solution. I moved my company HQ in April in the state of Florida.

    Here is my own issue (I have many, many other issues with several of my customers from various states with Frontier Communications): I contacted Frontier Communications on April 6th to disconnect my service since I'm no longer at an address. They took my new address to send the final bill to. I received an active May bill at my new address and contacted the customer care center on May 27th, to again find out why the account has not been disconnected. The lady on the phone then stated, "I don't see how that's possible since we weren't allowed to make account changes until April 16th." How were you able to update my address, but not honor my request?

    She also stated, "If you cancel your service there is over a $600 cancellation charge." I told her, "I do not agree with the cancellation charge nor do I agree to pay any bills after the April 6th, requested disconnect date." She then stated, "You will need to speak with a supervisor and unfortunately they all have left for the day. It can take up to 48 hours for a supervisor to get back to you." She also still did not honor my disconnect request as she stated, "I'm sorry Sir, I am unable to backdate a disconnect request." I told her, "Then make it for today and I will resolve the issue after I get my final bill." Today is now June 19th. Received another active bill and no other communication. As a Frontier Communications rep, Frontier still has not honored my request for my service to be disconnected.

    This company is the worst company I ever dealt with. I agree with previous people that rated this company. Today, this person Sonya from their So Called Customer Service did not like what facts I was trying to tell her with the problem I have. I have three new laptops and program with HP to get them serviced or fixed as needed online. On the last Thursday night, I was having trouble with my new laptop so of course I called HP. They said, "Not a Problem," so they started to upload stuff to my computer. It was going so slow because of Frontier Internet I could not get it done. The HP person said the our internet was going too slow. I said, "WHAT? I pay for this damn service and it does not work?" I thought they learned that I do not like paying for a service I don't get.

    There was such a problem with them getting us installed. It took almost a complete month. That is a lot of BS as well. It suppose to be a bundle with Dish Network. That too is another story in its self as well. Anyway, I am on the phone with this Sonya gal. After wasting time with her for 20 or minutes, I ask for a supervisor. BIGGEST MISTAKE!!! This person puts me on TERMINAL HOLD - over 38 min. waiting to get a supervisor. I know she kept coming back on the line because the music stops. She said nothing and clicks off numerous times. She is hoping I hang up that it but to her surprise I did not and I told her, "I will wait and it will only make yourself look odd if your so called bosses review this." I know she was hoping I hung up because she tells me that now my internet is for up to 6 whatever they call that. On day one they told me that we had to take that program being it was the only one in our area so no choice.

    Then it took them over a month to hook us up because of all the BS they keep saying. But the best part about after a couple of weeks complaining all the sudden they can install it. I said, "Great." Then here is came. Now it would cost me $100.00 to do so. I told that person is he ** nuts? I been waiting this long and all the sudden they can fix it real quick for a $100.00. It is all documented with them as well as my computer. When I refused to pay that BS I got on my other phone and called Dish Network themselves the told them what is happening. They got on the phone with those people and all the sudden we are getting a check from Dish for all the BS. I told him at that point, "Just get this thing fixed. I do not care about the check." I am losing money when I cannot work on it if I need to but do they care? NOT EVEN. SO people that is the setup BS with them. Then we were to get now they say UP TO 6 whatever.

    Today I did a test online with them. I am actually getting 30 plus percent less in uploads and a lot on the Downloads. See my point I asked the girl Sonya. My wife is on the phone finally with a Supervisor and of course he is hired to back up his company. Now my wife's new laptop is getting 5% on uploads. See these crooks and she is hooked up Directly to the Browser as instructed it would be better. If it is so damn better why lower way lower on uploads and this is using their own program and site. BS again this supervisor is giving her and of course but the best part is this Sonya Customer person said now if I upgrade another $10.00 more we will get 10% more. Think about it. 10 for 10 dollars. Sounds like the Kentucky Fried Chicken Commercial but worst. More money for WHAT? LESS? Then Sonya said, "Your contract said up to 6 Mbps or whatever. 30% less is not even close."

    Then I told her so if I get 30% less why do they not bill it like that? Why? Because they are crooks that why. When I had Comcast their cable never had a problem. NEVER. Now just a headache with Frontier. Now I just heard my wife say she was talking to a now Amy person. She is saying they will now come over tomorrow. Really? Father's Day. Frontier must outsource their people in a poor company like other companies do. Help them Screw the USA Right? I hate this company with a Passion. They are Profits before Clients. The guy who sits on his fat behind running this company - I know he does not know what the hell is going on in his customer service dept. If he did and he is a human he will clean house with all the lies. Look at all the complaints. Truth in the Pudding as they say.

    Am a Business Owner for over 25 yrs and I never would treat my clients the way they got these employees trained like Monkeys. Say this say that. If not satisfied they are trained to put you on hold TERMINALLY!! Like I said they did that to me and the girl Sonya checked many times hoping I hung up. Sorry Sonya in Customer's Nightmare Department did not work and I got it documented with all the other people we talked to including you so call supervisor who was as well no help. This company sucks for customer service as well as service itself but they trained them pretty good. How do they keep them working there? CHEAP CABLE WITH THEIR INTERNET.

I spent hours on the phone trying to confirm what was going on and when they were really going to install, only to have them put me on hold for hours, lie to me, transfer me aimlessly...

    Agents either could not find my account, could not find my installation request, they would confirm random times that I had never heard of before. I even had multiple agents tell my installation date is now 4th of July! The fact that they don't recognize this as evidence that there is clearly a problem with their system, they have deeper service issues that just cannot be worth paying for.

Two hours of my time and cell phone minutes were wasted, dealing with associates that were not knowledgeable and could not fix my issue.

    I requested to speak with a supervisor multiple times and my request was denied each time. My calls were simply forwarded to a different department, where I had to start from square 1. At one point, I was on hold over an hour, and I do believe that was done on purpose so where I would get frustrated and hang up the phone. One of the associates even lied to me, saying that my service would be back on in 2-4 hours, and he did not give me a ticket number so where I could follow up on my request.

    My cable and internet recently went down. I called Frontier to have looked at or repaired, however, I was left on the line for several minutes. I re-dialed the number and got a different person on the phone. After going over some basic troubleshooting, he determined that a second ticket was needed to have a service man do the local repair at my home. He said that someone from Frontier would come by at or before 7-PM. He then told me it would be scheduled six days from my call. Wow, was I surprised. Horrific service to say the least.

    I never had any problems with my TV/Internet until Frontier Communications took over Verizon. They are absolutely the worst company I have ever dealt with. They've continually lied to me. You spend hours holding on the phone waiting for someone to blame YOU for their problems. I wanted my cable TV removed since we don't use it. They tried to make me pay an early termination fee, even though I wasn't under contract. Then I got that fee waived by filing a complaint with the state AG.

    The new internet rate I received seemed acceptable, but then I find out 3 weeks later that they not only didn't change the internet speed/rate, but they have continued billing me for cable TV. It's just a maddening circle and you'll never actually get your issues resolved. Now they tell me that they will honor the original agreement if I sign a new 2 year contract. These people should never be allowed to be in business. Look at the complaints. This isn't just me. Stay as far away from these people as possible!

    The overall experience is similar to that previously posted, however, it differs in one respect. I called Frontier to upgrade 2 TV set-top boxes, Frontier said I would have them within a week. The next day I received 2 mailers to send the old boxes back to Frontier. But that was the extent of it, apparently or ?? the rep did not order the replacement set-top boxes only the mailers to send the old ones back. After several phone calls and always getting someone in never never land who either did not understand me or I could not understand them, this morning I finally got a fluent and easy to understand woman who was very helpful and reordered the equipment for me. Now it's back to waiting - again. Rotten service, rotten company. They should be shot.

    My experience with Frontier has been a nightmare. Have never experience problems with Verizon until the switch. My bill has tripled and no one can tell me why or what the extra charges and taxes are for... I was paying $154 a month with Verizon and now $190 with fewer channels. My new bill for this month was $635... In looking into my account they discovered that they had added termination fee charge and other services that were added that I actually don't even have. They gave me a so-called credit which brought my bill down to $400+ but still can't tell me what those charges are for. I said "How am I paying more for less services???" I said I wanted to cancel my services and was told I would have a early termination fee. I said "But I didn't make the change - Verizon did. So because I dislike the services provided I'm being penalized for wanting to leave!!!"

    I hope that there is some sort of lawsuit in place for this because this is the most horrible thing that Verizon has done to their most loyal customers. I hung up the phone and quickly got service with TWC with more channels and perks for less money. I hate for this to go on my credit however I just flat out refuse to be responsible for a bill that I did not create. They'll get that money when hell freezes over Ask Sprint!

    Completely incompetent. After 4 MONTHS still unable to execute a simple address change. We are 1st time customers and never had an account with Frontier previously. Customer service entered the address incorrectly in their system. As a result, we never received the $100 rebate or the billing statement. After repeated calls over a 4 month period to the Customer Service Center and the Rebate Center we are now stuck in a perpetual loop. Rebate Center claims that Customer Service must update their system before they can send anything. Customer Service says the update is complete.

    However, still have not received the rebate and Rebate Center says the on file address is still incorrect. Interesting that the paper bill finally arrived in the mail with a late fee but the rebate is still hung up.

    We had Verizon FIOS for years and never had an issue. They sold to Frontier. Since that time, our TV and VOD services were not reliable. We called & didn't get any resolution for 2 months. Now, there are two payments that they've cashed but didn't apply to my account. I called twice and two people off-shore said they'd take care of it. They did not. I called yesterday and talked with someone who said they didn't even submit to the research department. I expressed concern because the off-shore people don't seem to understand what to do. She offered to, but I had an appointment & had to hang up. She also indicated that I could call back and ask for someone in the US, which I did today. When I asked the person gave me grief and said "HQ is in CT." I asked where she was and she hung up on me.

    So I called back, and got to someone in the US who might be helping with my issue, but I don't know. Evidently, they have my maiden name on the account (I have been married for 5 years with a new name). I am at my wits end. The payments have cleared my bank, but Frontier doesn't want to apply them to my account. I'll keep calling, but this service is terrible. I only WISH that we had an option before the sale to either contest it or to get different service. This is really awful.

I have been complaining to them for the last 4 years that every time we get any kind of inclement weather, we lose either internet or phone service or both. Nothing has been fixed. Recently, within the last several months we have been getting our internet dropping 5-10 times every hour. Today June 15th, 2016 the tech came out and instead of fixing any issues they reduced our upload speed by 25%. They say this is supposed to stop the constant drops. So they lower our speeds but bill remains the same.

    They once offered to upgrade our internet speeds, so I took a day off work to wait for a tech that never showed up. When I called customer support they informed me that we are ineligible for the upgrade because we are too far from the nearest remote hub. 2 weeks later we get our monthly bill with a $100 charge for the tech that never showed up. Before that one tech guy came out, pointed at the wire from their terminal that goes into my home said "That's your problem" then the guy left.

    We had Verizon Fios and got the internet speeds we paid for and a little more. Never a problem. The moment Frontier took over, our wireless speeds dropped regularly to as low as 1mbps (we are paying for 150 up and down). When we ask for help, we spend 20-30 minutes resetting routers. Then they tell us they will send a technician out but we have to pay for it. When I told him we are paying for a product and it is their responsibility to deliver the product, not charge us to fix their problems, the tech told us we could "negotiate that with the serviceman who comes out". The technician sympathized with our complaints and told us he created a trouble ticket and referred it directly to his supervisor who would be calling us within the next 4 hours. That call never happened.

    We also tried to order HBO NOW, a streaming service that merely has to be turned on. They scheduled a technician to come out to "turn it on". It took two days to cancel that service call. We really want to keep FIOS but it simply isn't worth it. We can't work from home because the internet is so unreliable. If you have any choice, avoid Frontier.

Two complaints to the Attorney General and if you look at the ratings you will know that choosing Frontier is not a good business decision. There are plenty of other options.

I was finally told that I had to call back during the week to speak to yet another representative. After several more hours and phone calls, they tell me that the promotion is not valid in my area and that the account has to be in my husband's name to apply the military discount.

    Nowhere in the fine print on the website did it say that the promotion was only valid in certain areas, nor did they mention this information when they told me about the military discount. I told them that when I inquired about the promotion, nobody told me that it was not valid for my address and that because of the poor customer service, and misleading information I was given, I wanted to disconnect my service and delete all charges incurred. They said that I would be breaking the contract and have to pay early termination fees. This company is very inefficient, ineffective and incredibly misleading in the information that they give you.

    This has been the worst customer service experience I've ever had to deal with. I don't know how this company can exist. Started when I had to move in mid May. My 1st attempt to order a tech to come out and install internet and phone services at our new residence turned out to be a 3 hour ordeal which ruined my whole night. I would routinely get dropped from the call, transferred to different departments because the person I was currently talking to could not perform the services. After being transferred a handful of times I realized that they were just transferring me around to the same departments. After 2 hours, I asked to speak to a supervisor and the guy just put me on hold and transferred me to someone else. This new person claimed to be able to help me so she scheduled a guy to come out and install everything at my new residence on the requested day (took 45 minutes for her to order it).

    Of course the day comes and he did not show up or call. I was resigned at this point, not caring to bother with them anymore. I called to cancel a week later. They said they would issue a partial refund (still haven't received it and don't expect to ever receive it) and they would send boxes to send back the equipment (a previous rep had told me that they don't need the equipment any longer because it belongs to Verizon so I could just go ahead and recycle it). They finally sent the boxes a few weeks ago, but lo and behold I received another bill which will automatically deduct from my account next month. So now I have to go to the bank and make sure that these vultures don't take any more money out of my account because I haven't had any services since May 15th. The agony just never ends. When I call, they don't even mention the missed service tech appointment. It's like it never happened.

    If you ever think about wanting to sign up with Frontier, you might as well just bang your head against a wall because that's what you will want to do after speaking with these people. How is it possible this company can be allowed to operate? Is there a class action lawsuit I can sign up for? Let me reiterate: THIS IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD WITH A COMPANY.

    Okay, first off, I'm mainly writing this review to vent about my experience. I couldn't care less who reads it or, for that matter, if anyone reads it. I just hope that anyone who does happen upon this know to avoid at all costs Frontier Communications. Frontier recently replaced Verizon as our provider of "high speed" internet. The quotation marks are there because in truth their speeds are crap. At least in my area that is. The bill says 3M/768K, but normally it's far slower than that. Finally a few days ago, we finally snapped and decided to switch internet providers, to one offering a 150 Mbps download speed for not much more than we were paying Frontier. I attempted to call Frontier to cancel the service. Short version: absolutely terrible experience. Service still active.

    Medium version: Many phone menus. Gave the same information three different times. Spoke to three different people who each (except for the last) forwarded me to the more phone menus followed by the next person. Call quality got progressively worse to the point that I couldn't tell what the last person was saying. Wasn't getting anywhere with this person. I ended the call. I assume the service is still active, although I will tell my credit card company not to pay another dime to Frontier.

    Long version: I dialed the number on the bill from my cell phone, as we do not have home telephone service. The first thing the automated phone menu asked was something like this: "We see that you are calling from **. If this is the number you're calling about, press 1. If you do not have service with us, stay on the line." Not knowing what to do here, I chose to simply stay on the line. It seemed okay, as it proceeded to ask me basic questions about what service I was calling about and whether it was business or residential. OK.

    So finally I get a real person. Great. He seems like he's helping, even saying something very close to "Can you give me the first ten digits of the account number so I can cancel the service?" I gave that to him. He then asked for certain information on the account such as my address to verify my identity. I gave him that. Finally, he says something along the lines of "You've reached billing. Do you have a pen so I can give you the number for customer service?" The number I called was labeled "Customer Service" on the bill. Whatever. I wrote it down, but he then just forwarded the call to that number.

    Hold for a few seconds. Went through more automated menus, providing much of the same information as I had the first time around. The call quality was decidedly worse. After I tell the next person that I want to cancel service, she forwards me again. I believe she said she was forwarding me to "retention", as if Frontier has any chance at this point of retaining my household as a customer.

    Anyway, more phone menus. Same information. Such terrible call quality that I can barely tell what I'm pressing on the menus. The usual. They definitely repeated the "We see that you are calling from **." question, but this time with their own phone number. Whatever. Still just stayed on the line. Still reached a human person. At this point the call quality was the worst call quality I had ever experienced, and there was a significant delay between my statements and her responses. I definitely said "I can't tell what you're saying" a dozen times. Eventually I realized that it was getting nowhere and I ended the call.

    The service is still active (or so I assume). I'm probably just going to tell my credit card company not to pay another dime to Frontier. I realize now that "retention" was not them trying to convince me to continue paying for their internet service. Instead, it was them making it absolutely impossible to actually cancel the service.

Of course not, to my great inconvenience I had to close that account weeks ago to keep out Frontier. Frontier is the worst experience I have ever had. I think I threw out the last bill. Who knew they would keep trying to collect after three months.

    Something needs to be done about this so-called company. They took over Verizon in April and I have had nothing but problems. My house phone would not let me make outgoing calls. People could call in but they could not hear me. It was like the phone was muted, so I call their service tech only to have not only that problem but when they ran a test of the phone, whatever they did caused my TV and internet service to stop working. After 1 week of trying to get it fixed, I cancelled the house phone. My grandson worked on the internet and got it working and they finally somewhat fixed the TV service. I got a home phone through Ooma (internet) and they ported my disconnected over and it worked fine. Yesterday I came home from work only to find I again had no TV or internet.

    Called Frontier who tells me I disconnected the services. I told them only the phone not the internet or TV. Their answer was "Oh well, nothing they can do.” They would not turn them back on. They said I would need to open a new account and oh by the way I would be charged early terminating charges. After arguing with them for an hour I hung totally defeated. We as consumers need to band together and file a "class action" lawsuit against this company. We were never given the chance to opt-out when Verizon sold the company to Frontier, and now we are at their mercy... It's not fair. I am going on Facebook after this and posting my complaints there as well. Maybe there's a law firm out there who wants to help us make this right.

    I had Verizon with hard line phone & internet. I never use hard line phone & asked Frontier to disconnect the hard line phone & leave the basic internet. A month later they had not done this. I had been out of state 2 weeks and arrived home to find I still had phone service but they had disconnected my internet and they were going to charge me for the phone service I had asked to be disconnected. I got calls from them saying I had to give permission to have the hard line phone disconnected.

    I called and spoke to a representative and said that was not needed before I left for 2 weeks. I was told first time I would internet back in a few hours. Second time the same thing the next day. Then I was told the lines were down due to repairs and technical updates but with no time line when I would have my DSL internet back. I asked numerous times to speak to a supervisor as I thought I was getting the royal runaround. I had business take me away from home and I am hoping I have internet when I get back. I have been on the phone with Frontier 5 or 6 times since this transition and would not recommend this company to anyone. Unfortunately living in the country I have no other choice...

    We requested our service to be canceled when we moved house, scheduled for late June but wanted the TV and internet turned off but telephone left on because of the alarm system. It would cost over $120 per month to do so. We said: "Arg but O.K." Well on June 7th our TV stopped working and on June 9th our internet stopped. Calls to their service department gained nothing.

I did ask for written confirmation on the 99.00 price but she stated she could NOT do that and that this price would be reflected on my first bill. NO WAY did this happen.

    Frontier Communications is our ISP. We have a dedicated Fios Line from them. We've been running 5 Servers – web, email, file, ERP, terminal – since 2013. A few weeks ago, uploading speed dropped down to less than 5 Mbps; which is very serious problem. I called them and spoke to several technical support representative. I was surprised of their lack of knowledge. I told them this is HQ and we are running all those servers and this is Fiber Optic Dedicated Line. But they kept asking me about lights of a modem, whether my computer is laptop or desktop or iPad, whether this is Ethernet or Wi-Fi; which is unrelated to the problem. I don't think their technicians understand what the situation was. It is very suspicious that they have a minimum capability for running this kind of business.

    I was a Verizon Fios customer who disconnected service in February before the Frontier acquisition. From that point forward I have received two bills each month. One where I have a credit balance of 25.30, and the other that has been accumulating monthly charges to the tune of 1237.13 as it stands today. I called into Frontier and was told by a rep that it is valid since I only closed out one account. I told them impossible, since I returned the equipment. He said I had opened up two separate accounts at the same time. I asked for a sup and he muted me until I hung up.

    On my subsequent call I got a rep who refused to give me to a sup and muted me until the sup eventually jumped on the call yelling at me. She repeated the same statement the previous rep did and hung up after I questioned her. I called back yet again and got a rep who again muted me until I hung up. The final call today was to another rep who put me on hold while he searched for sup, then the phone started ringing and stayed that way for 10 mins until I hung up.

According to Salvador the first available date was 5/27 8-5 pm and the order# ** was provided. On 5/27 no Frontier technician showed up.

    On 5/31/16 I called Frontier about the no show and spoke with Danielle who transferred me to Sabrina. She placed me on hold and waited for over an hour while she escalated the call to dispatch and a supervisor. She came back on the phone to advise that their technicians were behind because of the holiday and that a dispatch would call back with a new date and time. Unfortunately no call was received.

    6/1/16 called Frontier spoke with Nancy she transferred me to Vanessa in the business section. I advised that I was waiting on the installation of my new phone line for the elevator. She could not locate the order#. She indicated that the order was never dispatched and that she provided new order# ** and would have someone come out on 6/2 between 8-5 pm.

    6/2/16 4:45 pm tech Jeremy arrives on location, he drops the line to the building, states he doesn't know anything about elevators. They are not trained and he wouldn't know the first thing about connecting the line to the elevator. He asked us to find out what the old elevator line was and he would be able to come back and fix the line once we found out what the old number was if it was labeled on the panel. 6/7/16 called Frontier spoke with Matt and he indicated that they would have someone in dispatch call me before the end of the day.

    6/8/16 - no call was received from anyone at dispatch. Called Frontier again, spoke with Morgan. I advised that I had received a bill for the line already from 5/27-6/1 for $114.58, when the line was not even dropped until 6/2? How was I getting billed? He advised that he would credit me $100 to our account. I inquired about why I received a separate bill when I specifically asked for this line to be part of our existing phone bill. Morgan indicated that the merging of the accounts was in process. I advised Morgan that the $100 credit was insufficient since I still did not have the line operational. He told me to call back the following month to request the additional credit for the $14.58 since the max credit they can issue is $100.

    I advised him that I needed a tech to come back out to install the line correctly to the elevator. He advised me that earliest a tech could be out to our business was 6/22/16 and I told him that didn't work. Not only were my phone lines for my account not working since the conversion to Frontier, but I had a deadline to meet. The state has issued an order to get this elevator phone working by 6/13/16. He stated that he would escalate the matter. He placed me on hold and came back and indicated that he was expediting our order. The date he was given was 6/11/16. I advised that it was a Saturday and we don't work on Saturdays. He said don't worry we are getting you a service tech out by end of day tomorrow 6/9/16.

    6/9/16 - called Frontier 3 pm to find out where the tech was, I was advised by Eric that the only order in the system was for 6/11/16. I told him everything I had been told previously, he basically said there was nothing he could do, that in California nothing was being escalated unless it was an emergency. I explained that it was an emergency. Our business elevator being shut down was an emergency. He came back on the line and said there was nothing he could do, he understood but it wasn't being escalated. He said he agreed with me 100% and perhaps I should call back in the morning and raise hell. I told him, I am raising hell now and what good is it doing me? I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was placed on hold and before I knew it I had been hung up on.

She said she noticed that the account wasn't escalated to dispatch to contact a technician in the area to see if one could service us sooner than the 11th. She put the order in for escalation and requested that I complete a survey regarding the service she provided me despite all the prior experiences I had with Frontier. She assured me that I would definitely be getting a call from dispatch.

    I (like all Southern California residents) was forced to move to Frontier when Verizon sold their services to them. I did not have the painstaking experiences of losing my phone services like so many (I had cable and internet), but I did see a $30 increase in my bill. When I called (and waited on the phone for 25 minutes for someone to take my call) I was told there was not an increase. When I explained the differences between my Verizon Bill and Frontier bill, they said that I was on a "promotion" by Verizon, and that did not carry over (I was speaking to someone in India). I explained this was not the case, but could not get them to lower the bill. After hearing the horror stories of others, I decided I wanted to see if they could repackage my services for a lower bill. The first time I called, I was on hold for 30 minutes (this time in the Philippines).

    When I was finally connected, I was told I needed to speak with the Sales Department and they would transfer me. Another 25 minutes on hold. When I spoke with what I thought was sales, they informed me they were not sales, and they would transfer me. I was LIVID. I was told then there was a high call volume and it could be another 20 minutes. I told them I would call back the next day. I attempted again to reach someone and once again after a 30-minute hold was told to contact Sales (back to India). I called sales, according to the number they gave me the last time. I explained that if I could not be helped within 5 minutes, I would drop the service. She said it would be at least an hour. WHAT?? This was crazy. At the end of the day all I wanted was to repackage my services to maximize my budget. Fed up, I called another cable company who was able to get me a better deal, better services, and a quick turn-around.

    The day the new company came, I contacted Frontier to cancel my subscription. By pressing the button that was for "remove service" somehow I was immediately connected to someone (and in the United States). When I wanted to cancel, she apologized for what I went through and offered a $20 discount for 6 months. I refused, I told her I wanted to cancel my services and that is when she hit me with the cancellation fee. EXCUSE ME? WAIT? WHAT? She explained I was under contract with Verizon. (Actually, I had been with Verizon for 3 years, and met my obligations). She said it was because I had done an upgrade recently with Verizon and I was under contract with them until January 2016. (Funny, Verizon never mentioned that).

    I was so upset, I just asked to send my final bill and cancel this horrible service to end my nightmare. When I called about 30 days later to see if I could remove the cancellation fee, I was told that they could not do it. (Again, customer service was off shore). It has been almost 60 days and I still do not have a bill! Oh, they sent me a bill, but it was for the cancellation fee and services I did not have. This is horrible, I really hope there is a class action lawsuit. I normally hate those, but these people were not prepared to take over Verizon. I feel bad for the customer service reps who are NOT trained, educated or equipped to handle these issues. I really feel at the end of the day, at the very least, I should receive no cancellation fee.

I have nothing negative on my credit either. It's ridiculous the way Frontier is trying to take advantage of people. They have a monopoly on the service, and TWC can't get in because Frontier owns the cable. Frontier made sure that I knew that no one else has Fios service but them.

At 6:45pm I received a call stating that the technician would have to come out tomorrow because they are too busy?!!? The technician arrived the next day and took about an hour to set things up. Now, I have tried calling Frontier customer service 3 times to request a refund for the 1.5 months of charges since we didn't even have service. They gave me every runaround. Transferred me to 4 different departments. The customer service reps are EXTREMELY rude! I asked for a manager and was placed on a 67-minute hold (I think intentional).

    Our business was transferred from Verizon Fios to Frontier on April 1st, 2016. By mid-afternoon we had no internet service and unreliable phone service. Television seemed unaffected except for the purchase channel (On Demand). After calling Verizon and being redirected to Frontier, I was told they could not find our account. My calls were outsourced, scripts were being read and re-read to me verbatim, but nobody was listening. I was transferred and even disconnected numerous times. I thought I was losing my mind. So I started contacting other businesses, other providers, friends that work for Verizon, the local news, I even took to blogging, you name it. I was going to be heard!!

    After many hours that led to days and many phone calls, customer service finally agreed to schedule a technician for our location. We are a fast paced golf course, and our tee sheet and point of sale are internet driven. We were unable to process credit cards electronically for 8 days. On April 8th a technician arrived and said there was nothing he could do, he was at the mercy of Frontier and they had just stepped back 20 years as far as technology goes. At the same time I had scheduled Comcast to install. It was a race and whomever was the first to get us connected wins! Frontier tech said "it won't be us". Comcast tech said "it will be us." At the time we were only trying to restore internet.

    While Frontier tech was working on our phone box (which I asked him not to do because if we completely lost our phones too, then we're really seriously damaging business) 2 of our 4 phone lines were disconnected. We were without a fax machine, during the time we were asking other clubs to fax contracts in for summer reciprocals, our dedicated alarm line and 1 of our two main customer phone lines. I called Comcast that day to see how long it would take to port the phones lines to them as well and they said they are at the mercy of whenever Frontier would release them. We were finally ported on April 28th.

    Now come the Frontier bills. Service for April (that we did not have) and early termination fees to the tune of $1668.09!! I called yet again and was outsourced, but the next bill they gave me a credit of $81.37. Then a letter threatening collections. They say there is nothing they can do... We were under contract! Our contract was: With Verizon, not Frontier. For SERVICE, not a lack of. You would think they would be trying to do damage control at this point. No luck.

The first rep told me to just return the TV box and remote. The second rep told me to return just the router for the internet which really doesn't make any sense. Finally, the third time I called, the rep told me to return everything. Sure I will. But the box that arrives can only fit in one freaking equipment. Seriously, how many times I have to call to make things right FOR YOU!!! No wonder no one wants to stay with Frontier!! I just had the box stuffed to its max and return it to UPS.

    It's been months now since Frontier took over, and they STILL don't have my customer information in their computer... except for of course the billing information to charge my credit card every month. Our internet service has been completely problematic, and we are experiencing an issue where it seems as if Frontier is illegally throttling our speeds. Everything we try to download on the internet takes two tries. Initially, speeds crawl, but refreshing a page/video or cancelling and restarting a download goes at full speed. Service goes down completely periodically. Since Frontier does not have us in their computer system, the technicians literally cannot try and fix it. They keep telling us to go to customer service to have them add our information into the computer, which never happens. This is absurd.

    I HATE FRONTIER. I got switched over from Verizon. I called Frontier about a month later to put my account on vacation mode, as I do each year. Was told "no problem." Account was supposed to be on vacation mode April 11. Well, imagine my surprise when I get a $189 bill for service from April 22-May 21 when my service should have been on hold on 4/11. I call, they say that there was a glitch, it will be straightened out and I will get a credit. (Never mind that the $189 is higher than my bill would have been under Verizon) Then I was charged AGAIN for service from 5/22 to 6/2. Another $189. So they've now stolen $378 from me!!!

    I call AGAIN and I am told my account will be credited at some distant time in the future, but apparently they can't give me a date because they are "waiting for approval." What is to approve. You stole my money. Give it back. This is called theft! Plain and simple. Hours wasted on the phone and they stole my money!!! Someone needs to start a class action. I'd be happy to be the lead plaintiff.

    Unlike others that have been negatively affected by the FiOS takeover by Frontier, my internet/phone/TV service was relatively unaffected with the exception of missing On Demand purchases for TV. I couldn't pay my April bill due to the switch, so I had to pay a double bill in May. Then I noticed that Frontier was charging about $20 more for the same service that Verizon was. I also noticed that I had a Verizon discount that was set to expire in June. On the third try I was able to get a customer service rep on the phone to ask if I could change plans from my grandfathered Verizon plan to an equivalent Frontier plan, trying to probe for a promotional deal. The rep said I could get a minor internet speed bump if I was willing to spend $30 more a month, no bargains here thank you. Suffice it to say I was less than pleased.

    With the writing on the wall I switched back to Time Warner Cable. Funny that starting about a week before my TWC install my existing FiOS internet went from stable to really spotty. My suspicion that the cause was Frontier was confirmed once TWC was installed and all internet issues disappeared. For those that are considering Frontier my advice is to avoid them at all costs. They took a great service from Verizon and managed to ruin it in a very short amount of time. Incompetence and borderline theft are Frontier's trademarks.

    Painful and dangerous this transition is. 4 (four) broken appointments... When we called... "apologies for the bad information" each time. This last time we stayed home for a 2 to 4 pm appointment to be told... technician is doing the repair remotely. No home visit. No landline service. Worst part... We have no choice. It is Frontier or nothing. Can someone start a class action suit?

    Since they bought out Verizon in Texas, our service has been spotty at best. Paying full price on our bill and receiving service about half the time. Called customer service. The first time they told my husband that they were still working on getting things up and running. When he asked for a credit on the bill reflecting that we were getting only partial service, they passed the call of to billing. The lady there asked for his number and would call him back. A call never came. I called customer service because service was still spotty. They said they were having trouble in our area and would get it fixed. I received an email stating it was fixed, but here we are still getting spotty service. All throughout the day it goes off and on. Very dissatisfied with this company. The only other option for us is the cable company.

    We recently purchased a new home and I called to get my service transferred. Rep 1, took all info home I had in original service, new home address to where service was to be transferred, date of May 27th, was date service was to be in my name & service was to begin in new home, however, Rep 1 said couldn't do it until 6-6-16, I agreed. We closed on new house on 5-27-16. I again called customer service to verify that I would be getting cable installed on 6-6-16. Rep 2 confirmed the 6-6-16 installation date. I took off work 6-6-16 all day because no one called to give me a window of time to be home on confirmed date of 6-6-16.

    On 6-6-16, I waited till about 2:00 pm and I recalled customer service, spoke with Rep 3 - Mellissa. First, she couldn't find my account. After several attempts I provided the Order Number. I had been given from Rep 1. After being on hold for 2 hrs 39 min, 6 sec, (I only actually spoke with Rep 3 - Melissa about 10 min out of that 2 and a half hours). Then she proceeds to tell me that nothing had been processed or a hold was on it but again I told her I had called to confirm my order was confirmed. It was not my fault that your reps didn't enter things correctly. Rep 3 - Mellisa proceeded to tell me that installation would not occur on 6-6-16. I told her that that was not acceptable. Was told that installation would occur on 6-16-16 which is not acceptable for something that wasn't my fault.

    After almost 3 hrs, I asked to speak to a supervisor, which again took a while to get. Supervisor Angela came on the line and said something like someone else is in my account and she couldn't do anything and that she would call right back in 15 min -- well it's 6-7-16 and I have yet to hear from Angela! At approximately 6:00 pm on 6-6-16, still same day, I recalled again since hadn't heard back from Supervisor Angela and I spoke with Rep 4 - Jennifer, told her my story again, she apologized as usual, and said that there had been some changes made and there should have been cable installation on 6-6-16. She then proceeded to try to contact service people in Ft. Wayne, in hopes they could still come out, but of course it was closed by then. She resent the work order to dispatch and said they would have it by morning and they would have to review and was instructed to expedite work order if possible.

    I do not want to have to wait until the 16th to get service!! I did my part in order to make this happen correctly but Frontier dropped the ball & I shouldn't have to pay for it by missing a day of work, not being able to go do other business and not getting any service. I had always had good service before but this really took the cake. I might have to look into your competitor for my business. Apologies don't resolve anything.

    I have 1 Wireless internet connection, but they charged me for 2. When I called to complain, the first person transferred me back to the beginning of the automated phone system, then the next person wanted to transfer me to the internet department instead of addressing the billing issue (yes, he was in billing). When I insisted on speaking to a supervisor, he advised me that the sup was taking other calls. He refused to give me the supervisor's name. I had to repeat my problem SEVERAL times before this man would comprehend what the issue was, then he put me on hold only to come back and say that even though it said 2, it was actually only for 1 installation... SO they are charging me for 2 installations but saying it's only 1.

    I've had to call them a couple times before just to get my service set up (had to wait around 30 days). I'm pretty sure this company enjoys jerking their customers around and making us pay more than we should. Oh, and I signed up for the movie channels including HBO, do you think I have any of those? Hell no so that's another call I have to make (or I may just call another provider instead)... Just because they bought out Verizon doesn't mean we have to stay with them. If you're new to the area too, check around first.

    My Verizon cable and internet services was sold to Frontier Communications without disclosure to me by the way. I was without service from the May 10th-31st, 2016. I called over and over again throughout the course of this period, they scheduled techs to come out and they never showed up not one time. Finally I had enough, cancelled my service on the 31st of the month and asked to be credited from May 10-31. Which comes out to a May bill of about 60 dollars. Basically my average daily rate was almost 6 dollars. I don't want to pay a penny more and I didn't want to pay for any services I couldn't use.

    Well when I called to get this done, they just laughed, played games when I asked to speak to a supervisor and when I finally got transferred the manager never picked up. Oh and my bill was never credited, so after an hour phone call nothing resolved nor no contact with a supervisor. I've had the worst and most stressful experience with this company. In the end have pictures of what cable said when it was out. I pray there is a class action suit to close this company.

    I too am a casualty of the Frontier takeover of Verizon FIOS in SoCal. I tried to call Frontier a couple of weeks after the takeover to order a second DVR and service for a new room. Long wait time. Sales rep was unable to pull up my account. Told me to call in a week once all the FIOS accounts were transitioned. I called a week later, with same long wait time and same answer: "no account records available yet." I waited 2 more weeks and then was able to order 2 new DVRS and the multi-room service. Rep did NOT tell me that by changing the account services from what I had with FIOS my long term discounts (which had begun with FIOS only in February 2016, one month prior to them selling) would be removed from my account. I only found that out when I got my next month's bill.

    I also told the rep I wanted a tech to come and install the DVRs and make sure the cable in the new room wall was hot. He said he would set it all up, and the tech would bring the boxes. Then he insisted it give him my FULL SS# AND DOB in order to process the order. I freaked, and refused, but he said it was required on the 1st change of service order for all former FIOS customers, and that he would have to terminate the order if I didn't give it to him. Well, because I had been on the phone for over an hour (plus the 45+ minutes of wait time for the other prior attempts), I grudgingly gave it to him and got his name. He said my window of service would be for 8 AM - 5 PM on a Friday.

    Well, I waited most of the day until about 3:45 and then went online to see if the service call order was still in place. It was. Then about 5 min. later I looked and it had disappeared. I called and after about a 15 min. wait I got through to a customer service rep who was somewhere in the 3rd world. The line was terrible. It was so bad that I had to hang up. I called again and got through and the person said they were having a typhoon and the lines were bad. Again we were disconnected. I finally went online and started a "chat" with a customer service rep. They said my appointment had not been scheduled. I asked why, since I saw the notation on my web account earlier, though now it was gone.

    He said I was just supposed to install the two DVRs I had received by mail myself. I said I had never received DVRs and that I has specifically asked for a tech to come and make sure the wall cable was active and to BRING the DVRs and install them. The rep said it was too bad, that I should send back the DVRs and "sorry for the misunderstanding." I said I didn't have the DVRs and that I was very angry. I terminated the chat. The following week I called and got a rep in the US. I told them about the problem and that I was furious at having wasted so much time on the phone and waiting at my house for Frontier. I complained about the rep taking the order wrong and that on top of everything, he had asked for my full SS# AND DOB!

    I told him he should at the least give me some kind of credit to the account for my inconvenience. He awarded me a $25 credit that showed up online when I paid my bill. I vowed while paying it to call Time Warner ASAP and GET OUT of my Frontier relationship as soon as TWC could come and connect me. TWC was fabulous. Great deal, great equipment, great rep on phone and service tech in person. a 1 hour window, and the guy was precisely on time. Today, with my new TWC service working beautifully (2 VRS and multi-room connectivity, plus phone, 200 Mbps and 200+ channels - all for LESS than Frontier was charging - plus I get a $300 Visa gift card after 3 months of TWC service) I called and CANCELLED my Frontier service.

    Again, a 15 min wait to get a rep, then lots of back and forth about what had happened, why my bill had gone from $124 to $175 when NO new service was being used and NO new DVRs had shown up (I did get 2 separate big flat boxes from Frontier - each had a flattened "return shipping" box and label... so no DVRS but empty boxes). The guy was nice, but was unable to do the math to figure out what the correct final bill should be. But he was quick to set a term date and to remind me that I would have to pay a $230 early termination fee.

    I had re-upped with FIOS in February, and after one month they sold my account to Frontier and the nightmare began. I told him they were NOT going to get any termination fee from me, and I demanded to speak to a supervisor. Another 5-8 min wait, and the rep comes back to tell me that the "Lead" had okayed a waiver of the fee. He said he read through all the notes and that they could prorate the account and only charge me for the days I had used Frontier, and that they would figure out how to reduce the bill correctly. He said not to pay the current bill (for $175 - no kidding, that's why I called!) but to wait for a new one.

    They would send me more empty boxes to return the old FIOS DVR and router/modem. Whatever. I told him God bless, and immediately after hanging up I got a Frontier auto dialed survey call. How sweet. I gave them a "1" on their service and they asked me to explain why... I pretty much told them the above Dark Side saga and gave today's rep a 5 rating, and hung up. The same number called back again, where upon I BLOCKED it from my cell phone. Hoping that when the final bill comes, I will be able to pay it and be DONE. So, if you live in SoCal and had FIOS, I suggest you RUN, do not walk to the nearest EXIT and get out of your Frontier relationship ASAP.

After a month of receiving no bill I called and was told that they didn't show service at my address nor could they find my account, but they were going to fix it.

    As of this past sunday I still had no bill and my service was shut off. I called to figure it out and was told my service is suspended but they can't find the account so I am now on my 17th!!! phone call because no one can figure it out, I'm hung up on or they just start a new contract for me or they say they will get it figured out and call me back which I never get a call back. This is so unreal. I don't even know what to say when I call them next. I have asked for supervisors but the reps just put you on hold for two hours and never come back to the phone. I am a day away from getting my lawyer involved because I'm paying for a service that they turned off. I had one girl today finally get on the right track of starting to help me and I gave her a call back number in case the call dropped...

So I called and asked them to help the person because they seemed lost. They refused to help me and said to call back if they didn't show up by 4:30pm. I called at 4:30 and said they never drove by again. So she set us up for another appointment first thing in the morning. Again no one showed up. I called twice that day; at noon and again at 4:30. So she says she would reschedule it yet again. I said, "No we lost two days of pay and now we don't want the services. Cancel it and we will stick with Comcast."

    Day three and I get a phone call while I am at work. I tell the man to not bother that we canceled the services after he no showed on us two days in a row and we lost money. Then we get a bill weeks later for installation and our monthly bill. I call and tell them to fix it and that I am extremely HOT over the mess they have made of this. The customer service rep tells me that the man who did the install marked it as he did the work and set us up. He even went so far as to make the call with the router information! She tells us to ignore the bill and we will get a new bill showing a zero balance and that services was canceled.

    Now it is 6/6 2016. We got another bill only it isn't zero. It states we owe them money!! I had to wait on a supervisor for a long time. Each time they would pick up the phone and tell me I'd have to wait even longer. I got the same story as last time. We will get a bill in the mail telling us it is a zero balance and not to pay it. I threatened them stating I want a letter and zeroed out bill in 10 business days or I'll get a lawyer to take care of this and sue them for this. Now Go back to January of 2015. We moved to a new apartment and had it all set up for them to provide us services. They no showed. Not even a phone call or anything. We called to find out what happened. They scheduled it for another day. They no showed again.

    So finally we called to ask them if there was an issue because they made us fax them proof of who we were 6... yes SIX separate times. We gave them proof of identity in several forms, proof we had credit cards, proof we were the only ones on the lease. They refused to give us service while we lived in that apartment because someone who lived there before racked up a HUGE (supposedly over $600 bill with them) and never set up services with us.

    When we moved into this house we thought we wouldn't have an issue with them this time as we won't have to prove we weren't these individuals and you get the story I wrote about up above. NEVER do business with this company. They go out of their way to make life miserable, cause you loss of pay from work by sitting at home, and then they never show up to give you services and tell you that you are lying about who you are.

I had placed a call due to my service going down. I was on the phone with technical support for over 3 hours that day. In the first day, my service calls dropped and technical support was not able to resolve any issues. I called back the next day trying to get an answer and to no avail, my disappointment continued. I'm a small business owner that relies on the internet to perform my business. I had spend many painful hours that week getting someone to help me and finally, I had to cancel services.

    Finally, that Friday I was forced to call another provider because no one at Frontier could get my issue resolved and still had no internet service. I was told that I wouldn't receive any penalties and no fees had been mentioned due to cancelling. They still slap me with a bill only after 30 days from transferring from Verizon to Frontier.

    I can echo most of the complaints here regarding lack of service. I work from home with both my business and part-time job for which I depend on both land lines and Internet for my income. Since Frontier hijacked Verizon customers on April 1 (yes, I can appreciate the irony) I've had either no service or spotty service. The last tech admitted that Frontier did not purchase the Verizon software and Frontier's software is incompatible with Verizon systems. Furthermore, whenever Frontier does a system refresh, I will lose my all my services again.

    I've suffered over $5000 in loss of income. The only reason I hung in there as long as I did was because they kept promising everything would be fixed tomorrow. Well, after nearly 60 "tomorrows" that never came, I switched to Bright House. Don't know what the future with the Bright House/Charter/Time Warner merger will bring, but ANYTHING has to be better than Frontier. The Florida atty gen is so angry that reportedly Frontier could even be booted out of Florida soon. Besides raising my monthly fee by $44, their lack of service is unconscionable.

After verification and some awkward exchanges as well as explaining my problem in detail (also around half the time they say I don't have an account with them...) I am told that they can't help me and I need to be transferred to tech support - wait 25-30 minutes on hold for tech support.

    Spend 1 hour explaining my issue over and over again while the rep repeatedly tells me to hold on, and says that he will make a ticket or that the ticket the previous rep said he put in was never put in, or that there is some bizarre unfixable problem with my account and I need to be transferred back to basic customer service - argue with rep. Beg rep to just put a ticket in for a technician to come out - am told that it's impossible. Rep states he will go the extra mile and get the issue resolved today - issue is never resolved.

Tristan stated he couldn't because he was on the escalation desk. I told Tristan I know that they rotate coaches on and off the escalation desk (I know he could certainly bring this up to a lead if he is incapable of doing his job). I tend to get snippy after being on the phone for over an hour. I had to prompt Tristan to leave a memo with what we discussed so that I could reference back to it and his EID. Tristan was getting nervous.

    Long story short, I told Tristan if I didn't receive service by tomorrow I would be canceling and that I would be contacting a lawyer and the Better Business Bureau if I received a bill despite never having service. He called me back to tell me a tech will be coming by tomorrow before noon, so we will see. I'm almost hoping the rep doesn't come at this point so I can look for another ISP. I rely on my internet for work and school purposes so this has been a huge inconvenience. Frontier needs to fix their customer service. There seems to be a huge disconnect between vendor employees and company employees as well as between departments. This is the most disorganized and incompetent customer service experience I've had.

    If Tristan comes through, hats off to him, if not then I don't blame him either. Obviously there is something very wrong with Frontier's core communication between its own affiliates and departments: either they are all using various dept defendant software or a communications and ISP can't manage its own servers. I would not recommend unless they are ever able to get it together!!

    My mom was getting price quotes for services. She currently has Time Warner. The salesperson for Frontier was loud and not professional. When my mom was asked for her social security number she told him, "No I just want price quotes." He wouldn't take no for an answer, she hung up on him. He called back my mom, told him again no and hung up. He called again, my brother answered and got into a heated argument because the sales person was not taking no for an answer. Three days later my mom answers the door - two nicely dressed men ask her if she is having any problems with her phone. At the time, she wasn't.

    Now two days later my mom's home phone is not working - when you pick up the phone there is no dial tone and a high pitch sound. Phone service is with Time Warner, they say "Your phone service through us is off. Your phone is on through Frontier." How can a company turn off your service and switch it without your consent? I had to call Frontier and cancel the service. It is going to take two days for them to do this, Time Warner can't reconnect until it's done. How is possible?

    Ever since this company took over for Verizon, all that we have had is nothing but poor quality service. Features that I had with Verizon were not longer working (like watching shows on my iPad), search feature wasn't available for a while, service gets interrupted "ALL OF THEM". Today all of my services stopped working (phone, Internet and cable). We called customer service and they couldn't solve the issue over the phone. They said they would send a technician anytime between today and JUNE 10th!!! That is 5 days from now. My husband and I need Internet in order to do our work. This company only knows how to inconvenience their customers. I NEVER EVER had to wait more than a day with Verizon. They always sent technicians the same day or the next... Definitely switching my services.

    Since the switch from Verizon to Frontier in April, I lost all services and Frontier was actually not able to fix the issue. Several hours on the phone, technicians not showing up, I decided to discontinue services. 2 months later, I am still awaiting a refund. I cancelled autopay and they still took money out of my account. Still no response and being passed around. Do not use Frontier to save you a headache!

    Internet is often down for no reason or the modem needs to be reset. Yesterday internet sign in stated "we have changed some things and need your network key code". I called CS as I didn't know what that was. The first two CS agents were difficult to understand as English was not their first language. Both calls were dropped and never returned. Neither agent asked similar questions which I thought was strange for trying to troubleshoot the same issue.

    I called a third time, thoroughly frustrated at this point, again asked different questions and after about 5 minutes of these questions was told to use my normal password to sign in. I asked why the pop-up window did not just ask for the password instead of this strange request for a network key code and the agent had no response. I told the agent I wanted to speak to a manager as I was very annoyed with the service and he put me on hold only to return and say he could not find the lead and I would not be able to speak to anyone. It is cheap internet so I guess I get what I pay for and unfortunately I don't have a lot of options for other DSL providers.

    On Demand on FiOS television changed; customer service is horrendous; I lost my personal library of movies and shows I had purchased, the list goes on. I went to another provider and got slapped an early termination fee which I am trying to dispute, but can't even find the information on how to dispute this. I NEVER had these issues with Verizon and was confident that if I called there for service, it would be fixed. When you call for service now, it can be days until they get to you.

    My service shut down completely on 5/29/16 at about 3 pm. I called Frontier and went through all the usual unplug, plug back in exercises. A service ticket was issued for technical support to try and repair remotely. Monday morning I had TV service but no internet. I called Frontier to notify them that the TV was working but not the internet. They told me "we are working on the problem". By 5 pm there still was no service. I called again, got the same response. I asked if they could schedule a technician to come to the house to repair the internet, was told no. I tried to explain to them that I work from home and absolutely need to get the internet up and running. Got no response other than the same "we are working on it". Tuesday morning, nothing; Tuesday afternoon I call again about 6 pm and was told that technical support had tried to contact me several times but got no answer to schedule someone to come to the house.

    I told them that this was a blatant lie since I had received no calls from them. I then asked if indeed someone was coming to the house; they said yes 8 am Wednesday. Wednesday, 6/1 8 am, no one. At 9 am I called and was told someone was at the house checking the outside lines. I again told them this was a blatant lie, because I was home and no one from Frontier was around. Then was told that the outside lines were being checked at the station. I became angry and asked them if they thought I was that stupid to buy into checking outside lines from the station. No response. 11:30 no one; 1230, no one. Finally at 2 pm someone showed up, and it was the simplest repair, which according to the technician could have easily been repaired remotely.

    My business has been down since Thursday afternoon. They told me on Thursday that it would be Monday before they could come out. Keep in mind I have no phone, no internet, no way to take debit or credit cards. They told me because it is a business they will escalate it, but they need to get an approval by a supervisor and it will take 24 hours to do that. So I call on Friday. I am scheduled for Friday, they will be there today. Then I did not see anyone come so I called at 8:30 pm only to be told they had to make it for Saturday. Ok, waited then. 12 noon came by and I called them, they said, "Oh they will be there." Keep in mind ever since Thursday I have been telling them my business is shut down until you fix things.

    Ok it is now 2pm Saturday, called them back and they told me it was cancelled. Wow!!! You can image the flames coming from my head. Again, asking them why was a canceled they told me because it was put in computer as a residential and not a business so they have to make another ticket up. Oh boy!!! And now they said they can not come until Monday, June 6. This will be 5 days!!! You ask to talk to a supervisor and they say, "Hang on." Well, they transfer you and it is a phone ringing and ringing and then it disconnects. I just want to sit down and cry. How can they do this to people?

    This might be long as our 2-month nightmare with Frontier has many twists and turns. We had sold our old house and were moving into a new house first week of April. We set up our services on the new house the last day of March since the first two weeks of April were blacked out for the transition. The nightmare began.

    Upon moving in we immediately began to experience phone problems and could not access their voice mail system and their set up negated our answering machine. We need a hard line due to spouses medical problems and can't risk missing phone calls from many doctors. I called Frontier and like many was on hold a long time. Once someone came on they told us that they did not know how to access their VM as well and that many in same boat. She told me that they would change the amount of times the phone rang so the machine could pick up.

    Next day had no phone service and after many phone calls and hours on cell phone they decided a tech needed to come out. They sent the tech to our old house starting the next problem. Side note - they sent a tech to our old house three times. Again many phone calls and hours on phone with cell phone and they kept insisting that we lived at the old house. When asked them how we were getting service at new house they had no answer. They finally partially got and changed our billing address but not account address so yup tech to wrong house.

    Finally it appeared that they got it so two days ago I get up and all services turned off. Again a call and I am informed that per my request they turned it off. I explain to the rep that we did not and I'm put on hold. A different person comes on the line and tells me that my account is a mess, that they have really dropped the ball and that she needs a few hours to go thru all the tickets and figure out what can be done. Be done, seriously just turn service back on. She informs me that all service will be back in at three in the afternoon. You guessed it, it did not happen so I call back and tell them I want to speak to this person and of course they have never heard of her but will be glad to help me out.

    I'm put on hold again and when she comes back that since service was turned off it requires a 48 hr reset before it can be turned back on and on top of it she can't review all info as supposedly there are two systems and one was undergoing update. She says that she will gladly open a new account for me and I tell her not to bother as I'm not at all interested. I thank her for doing us a favor by cancelling our service. We have signed up with a new provider.

    The last two months have been unbelievable. To think that there is this level of incompetence and lack of caring. Services that do not work, a complete incompetent service department, missed tickets that they just cleared out. Hoping that a huge class action lawsuit comes out of this. Thanks Verizon, you screwed a lot of folks.

    Like everyone else was with Verizon and now switched to Frontier. How can any company be allowed to operate like this!! If you try calling to speak with someone about billing because it is a crazy loop. NOW if you are requesting new service, then you do get to speak to someone. The recording makes it clear that they can't help you with billing complaints. Why do you suppose they felt the need to add that to the recording! I should just call and tie up their phone lines to save others from Frontier! The phone line designated for billing complaints is not connected yet, per recording. Oh but you can request a callback and I am now scheduled to receive a callback in THREE DAYS! That must be due to how mad everyone is with the poor internet service connection. I'm switching! How should we be made to pay for a bill when the Internet service is so slow now?

    For years, Verizon FIOS has provided great internet and television service. I have sung their praises and suggested the service to many in my community. Unfortunately, Verizon handed the service over to Frontier Communications. This "frontier" has been a land of service problems and horrible customer service. Internet went down Tuesday. My wife stayed on the phone with them for an hour to fix it... Problem was not fixed. This is critical because my wife works from home. She was told they'd be here Thursday... Yes, two day wait on a trouble ticket. She got a call on Wednesday that everything was fixed from their office so they closed the ticket. The problem WAS NOT fixed. She was on the phone with them for another hour to try and solve the problem. It was still not fixed. Trouble ticket was reset for Thursday.

    Thursday, she waited from 8 am-1pm for them to arrive. She called and was told they'd be here between 8-5. She waited ALL day with no arrival or courtesy phone call. Yes, there were other things she had to reschedule because of the need to wait around for the technician to arrive. I called Frontier @7:30 pm. I was told they took care of the issue externally and the ticket was closed, AGAIN! And, yes, they did not call to tell us it was fixed or even see if we were receiving service. I promptly explained that their wasting of my wife's time and the handling of this issue is totally unacceptable. I was told the service dispatch would call me within 30 minutes to set a time for service tonight... 90 minutes later, STILL NO CALL!!!

    Friday morning we finally had service. BUT, the dispatch never called as promised, the technician never came to our door to check the line as promised, and no courtesy call was given to a customer who had been singing the praises of Verizon FIOS to many in this community over the years. Oh, AND they want to raise our rates an additional $70 a month. When we're still under contract. A week later, I responded to a social media comment about Frontier. Amazingly, I got this response from Frontier: "We archive all of our social communications and this appears to be the first post that's visible to us. I'd be happy to help you out! Please send a PM and we can get started."

    Apparently, customers need to complain on Social Media to get a response. The suggested ways from Frontier of handling issues on their webpage, or calling the number posted on the bill I get from them every month, is not ideal. I will be making the switch from Frontier asap. Unfortunately, I don't have many options. I may have to go to TWC, which is a horrible option as well.

    I have had Frontier phone landline service for years. We moved and wanted to add broadband internet. The phone service was connected within two days. We have been waiting for the router for about three weeks. My husband has called, they say they lost the order. Then, they say that the router was shipped but they cannot lookup when it was shipped. I call and they say they do not provide routers (but it's on their website) or that it is a problem with the laptop (but I have no router) or they just hang up on me (three times). On Tuesday they said they would "drop ship" a router (whatever that means) and it would arrive on Thursday. I'm going to cancel service on Monday but I am afraid it will take days/weeks to cancel. Now, I cannot even look up my account online because it "has been lost".

    We have used Frontier for about 8 years now and they are absolutely garbage. We pay for 10mbps download speed and 3 mbps upload speed. We get neither of those not even close, and not even on a good day. We get around 2.5 mbps download and 1.1 mbps upload on a good day that's a very good day. On average we receive around 1.7 mbps download, and 0.5 upload. When I call to try and get this fixed it takes forever to talk to an associate and all they ever want to do is restart the system which has never worked it will help slightly for like 3 days and then go back to its usual self. When we had a Frontier mechanic come in and upgrade our set up he even told us that he doesn't personally use it because it is garbage. Now if your employees know that the product is garbage then shouldn't you be striving to fix the issue.

    There isn't enough time in the day for me to write out my entire awful experience with this company. It's been nothing short of horrendous. Fios was amazing... never had one issue until this company unexpectedly took over 2 months ago. Zero customer service, incorrect billing, terrible wait times, no technical knowledge for troubleshooting and oh yeah, no internet, DVR or On Demand access for weeks now. To make matters worse their phone lines don't work and their computer systems are constantly down so calling to complain or find resolution is never-ending. At some point there needs to be accountability from a legal standpoint because they are not able to deliver the services they are promising to provide.

    I signed up with Verizon when I closed escrow on March 28, 2016. They never mentioned the buyout from Frontier. I was supposed to have my cable, internet and home phone installed on April 12th. No one showed in the time frame I was told and when I started calling on the 12th I never got through to anyone. I tried live chat still nothing. Finally on the 13th I spoke with someone. It took five days for the equipment to finish getting installed. The employees had new equipment and had no idea what they were doing. Almost a month in cable and internet, excluding DVR, were working fine but still no phone service for another two weeks.

    First bill arrives-- $462.00-- back to the phones I go. So since May I have called, emailed, instant messenger on Facebook regarding this. My first call the young man said "oh no problem we will adjust it" so I was to pay $127.05. I then sent a payment via BofA on May 17th and just found out that my check was never applied to my account and has not cleared my bank. Lost in the mail or lost by Frontier?? I have had active service for one month now and just got my new bill of $660.00!!!
