On 9.7.16 our cable and internet went down. When I called support with a hour wait time, realized there is also a section for a live chat. The chat session answered after 30 minutes. Well during the chat session we lost connection and no one called back. So then had to start all over. This time there was almost a 2 hour wait with a 1 hour wait on the chat. Once I was on the chat the tech even said it's better to call. Frontier you bought out Verizon in Texas and we never had a problem. If there was an issue they definitely did not have customers wait an hour or longer. Severe lack of customer importance. And I am a manager of a retail establishment. Customer time is valuable. They can choose any other company.

If I could negative stars that would be amazing, where to start first the communication or lack thereof. I was on hold for over 30 mins just to get someone on the line. Then once I did I started to setup up and once I did they transferred me and somehow lost all my info. Went through all the process again, got it all set up and was told ok, my self-install kit would be there in 2-5 days - PERFECT.
Day 5 comes around nothing so out of courtesy I wait till the following day and still nothing. So I call 25 min wait. They give me the runaround on how oh it was sent and they should have told me 10 days so I wait again 5 more days and nothing. I call back 25 min wait time again!!! I get them on the line and they say "we don't know what the tracking number is." WHO DOES THAT - IT'S UPS, they give you a TRACKING NUMBER!!! I tell them I want it overnight, they agree. Well hope's not too high and good thing 2 days later it comes and wow, I hook it up and it does not work.
Another call another 25 min wait!!! They say "oh sorry it needs to be activated at the pole." Umm ok that should have been done. So I wait 2 more days and still nothing. Finally it is working and wow IT IS SLOWER THAN MY TIME WARNER cutting out dropping my internet. So I call to disconnect it, guess what - another 25 min wait. The lady wants to know if there is anything she can do to help??? "Um yea cancel this crappy service and not charge me", she agrees and says there will be no bill and will send me a return label. Well about a week later I get an letter marked Frontier - sweet I can return this junk. NOPE!!! It is a freaking bill for 179 for a service I never got to use. So as I write this I am on hold and have been for about 15 mins lovely. My advise STAY AWAY from this CRAPPY COMPANY!!!

Hello guys here is my info: Order number -**. The irresponsibility of this (company) is beyond reasonable understanding!! They are so full of bs that they make it look easy. After having a service schedule for certain date and not having the service done on the correct date as schedule two weeks prior, we were not able to find out the reason for not having the service installed other than being told that it was a computer error!!! After trying for 2 days to get my service installed and the reason why there was a error on their system (which is not our fault), we were never able to get the real answer. In fact we were disconnected intentionally a few times by customer service. We also waited 48 hours for a callback from a manager to appraisal on the situation and we are still waiting for that call!!! These actions are not only uncalled for and unprofessional from a service company of your magnitude.
We would like to make everybody aware that this company is not reliable, not good at all, not professionally responsible and in general stinks (to put it mildly). We just wish that everybody stays way from using this company. We usually are very leniently and understandable and take a issue that might arise and work with anyone involved to resolve it, but this particular company is not worth the time and the patience to resolve any issues. We feel very sorry for this company!!! They are extremely terrible!!!

I had slow internet at home and called to see if there was an option to get speed increased. Spent over an hour (the first time) getting bounced back and forth between customer support and tech support. Finally was told by Sharon in Tech Support that the way I could double the speed was to pay an extra $15.99 a month for another line. I was actually very happy with her and wrote a thank you letter to support@frontier.com because she told me that was where I could send a letter for her.
I got an automated response saying that I would get a call back the next day, but never got a phone call or email. Set up an install date, took time off work, but when it was a no show, I called. Another 30 minutes waiting before I was told that "someone" changed my install date from that day, Friday, to the following Wednesday. I tried to find Sharon, but nobody knew how to get a hold of her.
The tech that finally showed up was very nice, but told me that I had been mislead since adding another line would not double my speed; only give me another phone line at the same speed so I would have 2 internet connections. I am beyond angry with Frontier right now. As soon as I finish typing this review, I am going to try to find another provider. I don't care if I have to pay more for the same crappy 2.5 MB speed. It will be worth it to leave Frontier and I will tell all my friends and neighbors to leave them too.

I cancelled my internet account in May (thereabouts, I can't find my notes) and left one phone line. This was the same time Frontier took over from Verizon. My autopay transferred over from Verizon on the internet (that I cancelled) and it did not carry over on the phone lines (2 accounts, because genius). I asked them to also change our address. I was told I could not transfer my number, even though I moved only 5 miles away. I left the phone "hooked up" because it was forwarded to a cell phone anyways.
I finally got around to porting the number to a cell phone and had to go to the old address to ask if they had a bill for us (we're friends) to my surprise, NONE of the accounts were cancelled. I was still being billed for the internet, which I assumed was the charge for the phone line I kept, and since the autopay didn't carry over, I owe them over $1300, because it hadn't been paid since March. So because some yahoo didn't do their job months ago, I've paid $90 a month for a service that hadn't been in use, and been charged $250 a month for 3 phone lines that was supposed to be knocked down to one!!!

I just switched to Frontier and my internet was running slow. I contacted customer service the day after installation and was told if it continued to run slow they will upgrade me free. I called back today to upgrade and was told Frontier doesn't give anything for free as they are in business to make money. I was shocked and asked to speak with a supervisor who proceeded to tell me the same thing. When I asked to speak with her supervisor she said she didn't have one. I asked her if she owned the company and then she gave me the name of her supervisor. I was told she would put the request in and will get a call back in 24 - 48 hours. HUH? I'm cancelling the service and going by to Optimum. If Frontier offered me the high speed internet free I will not stay with them. I'm not going to get verbally abused by their staff. As an aside, I signed up for their security program and I received spam and marketing phone calls within minutes of enrolling.

Worst customer service ever! They increased my monthly internet bill by $50 since they took over from Verizon. I called to ask why? Their customer service reps has no idea what is going on. 5th time I called I finally got someone who knows what the eff the deal is. They gave credit and promised my rate will be locked. Next month it is $50 higher again, I call again, someone gives credits, tells me it is all fixed and next month same story! Are you ** KIDDING ME! I am so mad! Wasted so much time! I am busy, why do I waste my precious time talking on phone with these idiots? WHY!!! Worst company ever! I had never had problems with Verizon! STAY AWAY FROM FRONTIER!

First of all the internet is horrible and constantly freezes. Second, I had a Frontier representative convince me to change my internet plan by saying they had an upgraded plan for $5 less that what I currently had. Due to the fact that the internet had been freezing so much and also a cheaper plan with more speed seemed like a no brainer I signed up. Two bills later my charges doubled. I called in and was told that the person who changed my internet phone forgot to tell me that my charges would double and to get my bill back down I would have to sign up for a two year contract. I've never had a service company change a plan without consent or knowledge and then demand a two year contract unless you want to pay 174 for phone and internet. That's $174 and I didn't even have TV service!

I transferred my Frontier account to a different city and it took 5 different technicians to complete the order. Also, I'm only subscribing for basic phone service and internet service that should be about $69.98 plus tax. But every month I'm getting the bill about $158 and they kept adding wrong items in the bill. I think Frontier is such dishonest and lousy service company. All the customers should read your bills carefully and all the Frontier customers should file a class action together too against them for such fraudulent billing.

We renewed our contract with Verizon (now Frontier Telecommunication). The Frontier technician went to my residence and change the existing Verizon box. I asked why. He said it is defective. Before he left he told me that the telephone is not fully restored. Two hours later he called me and I confirmed that I can hear him therefore the telephone is working.
After a week the telephone suddenly lost dial tone and I cannot call nor I cannot received calls. I don't have any house phone (9/1/2016) for a week now. I keep on calling Frontier for almost 3 days. The operator will connect me to the service department but I kept on waiting for more than 25 minutes every time I called and no one is answering the call. Recording always says "I do appreciate your patience but the person is still attending other customers and will be with you shortly." We did the call more than 5 times and the same experience we got... Waiting for 25 minutes is too much to wait! Up to now (9/6/16) my phone is not working...

I can relate to every review for Frontier Communications. They have the ABSOLUTE WORST services - Customer/Technical service. I've lost $$$ in my business because they screwed up my service. I've been bounced around, kept on hold and promised callbacks. I pray that they will go under - they don't deserve our hard-earned $$$ for their services.

Since Frontier took over from Verizon we've had nothing but problems. It started with random DVR reboots while watching TV and has happened while a recording was being made, and this has happened as recently as a few weeks ago. My bigger problem is with billing. I received an email that my existing great rate (due to my prior 2yr contract with Verizon) was about to expire and my bill was going to go up if I didn't act. So, I called and was quoted what I thought was a decent (although a bit higher than VZ) promotional rate for signing up for 2 years so I accept the offer. Since then I've had to call to get a credit each month for overbilling, and I keep getting told that the previous rep didn't put my promotional rate on my account, even though they show the notes on my account about what my rate should be.
I've spent literally hours on the phone (mostly either waiting for someone, or sitting on hold after initially speaking with someone). So far the reps have been very polite, however their computer system must be the worst ever, or the support people don't really know how to apply the promo rate to fix the problem permanently.
Last month I signed up for auto-pay about a few days before my bill was due, and their online system said that I'd still have to make a manual payment because the automated payment wouldn't take place until the next billing cycle, so I made a manual payment. A few days passed and the due date came, and wouldn't you know it, the automatic payment also went through, so Frontier got paid twice. After 3 phone calls over almost two weeks to find out when I was going to get my refund I finally got the overpayment refunded, but now I saw that they've lost my promotional rate again.
So, I call again to try and get this fixed. Of course, I called on the holiday (9/5), so the rep was only able to apply a credit to my account and also apply a canned promo rate, but not at the promotion I was quoted. She said I'd have to call back the next day to get them to fix the rate. Today (9/6/2016) I'll be making yet another call to see if they can get my promo rate applied yet again, which after taxes I found will still $19/mo higher than what I was paying with VZ, even though I dropped my home phone service, which I was told would save me about $15/mo.
Assuming they ever get my billing straightened out I'm still going to be paying about $8/mo more for fewer services (Frontier: 75/75+Ultimate HD vs. VZ: 75/75+Ultimate HD+Digital Phone). I am so sorry I ever agreed to a new 2 year deal with this company, and as soon as it expires I done with them. It's a real shame too because I had FiOS from the moment they dropped the fiber in my neighborhood and enjoyed it for many, many years under VZ with no issues whatsoever.

Worse I have ever seen. I have been out of internet for 2 weeks and I have another 2 weeks to go before they even come out to look at it. I spent 2 hours on the phone one day, 2 hours another just to start the process over. I have lost so far 2 days work as I work from home and ask them if they value their customers!! NOT!! I tried to get a credit on my bill and of course I have to wait two weeks before they find the reason my internet is not working plus up to two billing cycles to complete the credit. I will move on to another internet provider as I cannot lose more money due to their lack of running a customer based business.

I've had my internet with verizon for many years and experienced minimal issues. Since it got taken over by Frontier, I've been having nothing but major issues with my internet connection. Either there is good connection which is rare, or very slow connection. Since I'm paying the full price for the internet, I expect full service not acceptable speed then slow speed but consistent high speed. I need the internet for my business and I'm being told by them that they can't be here for 5 days. In these situations, I need to take my laptop to starbucks and use their connection to run my business and I shouldn't even need to do that. I've been talking with other internet service providers. I maybe taking my business elsewhere soon before Frontier's crappy service bankrupts my business.

In July 2016 I started having problems with my internet going on and off. I called Frontier and was told that it was because I was in a high demand area and that when more people are online my internet slows down. They said they were addressing the issue and that it should be taken care of in a few weeks. So I waited to for 4 weeks and called back with the same problem. The tech rep told that they were repairing it as we spoke and I would get a call back that night once this issue had been resolved. I never received a call back. I called back a week later with the same issue and was told that they knew that there were problems but they didn't have a date when it would be addressed.
I ask them about why I was told that it was being repaired last week and they couldn't tell me why I was told that information. Then connected me to customer service for a discount on my bill and I was told that I could get a discount for my troubles and they would call me back as soon as there was an upgrade available for me. It was cost me more of course but even if I wanted they couldn't offer it to me, because of no availability. Very confused my internet was working just fine until July... and I am not able to get a eta for the solution??? Very disappointed with their service now. I am officially looking for another provider.

I purchased promotional service through Dish. Received confirmation email from Frontier with a 404 not found link to the $200 amazon card promo info. Made 3 calls and 4 transfers due to incompetent poorly trained cs. Transferred to Tech support incorrectly. He was nice. Got me to cs rep who ended up chastising me and interrogating me as to where and how I got my service and why I had an email with promo info. He was off the charts challenging me telling me most customers don't know the difference between Dish and Direct and 3 times I had already told him I went through Dish. He kept telling me I should not have the email I had. He made no attempt to answer my simple question about the promo but instead was very agitated about it.
Was looking at Dish/Frontier confirmation for 3 hours talking to these incompetent individuals who either could not comprehend my issue or harassed and abused me verbally over it. The last cs guy could never provide an answer and devolved into attacking me instead. Then got a supervisor who made apologies and many promises via several emails that never materialized. Installer shows acting arrogant and rude and immediately goes to my box where I have a vine on a 4' metal trellis that can be moved and he starts demanding I hack it down. It's not blocking the box but he is yanking on the trellis and proceeds to tell me... retired fire/ems that my small vine is a fire hazard.
It's been here 9 years no incident and pruned regularly and like I said it can be moved easily. I basically told him he was out of line, get his stuff and leave now. His jaw dropped, I waved bye and closed and locked the door. Canceled everything and reported the supervisor to the New York office after I was transferred there from a foreign country! NY was proud to tell me they were solely US operated. Haha huh? Yeah I was just on the phone with your foreign partner look at your caller ID... not my number. Their foreign partner and that was the second time last week I got them. Do not do business with this company unless you enjoy being miserable for 2 years a stretch. Total nightmare. No accountability.

For over a month we have been having trouble with our picture, like a pixel problem. Square of color flash through the picture and when it is really bad, the sound will go out for a second when the colors are flashing. It is much worse on the major networks. At first we thought our tv was going out, but then we checked the tvs in other rooms and all were doing it. I checked with some people at work that use Frontier and they indicated their pictures doing the same. I kept thinking Frontier would repair it soon.
After 3 weeks or so, I emailed customer service reporting the problem because every time I have called I have had wait times of an hour or more. I received an email back right away stating my email is important to them and they will have someone get back with me soon, probably within 24 hours. When they did not get back to me for over a week, I broke down and called. I was on hold over 30 minutes. The rep was very nice. She put me on hold for about 10 minutes while she was checking on it. She said yes, that in my area this is a reported problem and they are working on it. I asked for an ETA. She had none.
I complained that in a month's time it should already have been repaired. She said the first time someone reported the problem was the day before. So Frontier has only been aware and working on it for less than 24 hours. I said,"Really, the first person only reported yesterday?" She said, "Yes." I said, "Frontier does not have quality control looking for problems or at least employees who have the service at their homes and none of them noticed or reported?" She did not know. I am very upset that I am paying for substandard service. I do not understand, they purchased all of the Verizon equipment and these kind of problems did not happen when Verizon owned the company. I would not recommend Frontier to anyone.

I decided to change Internet and tv services, but to do so I had to change phone services also. When I discovered that charter lied to us, I wanted to go back to Frontier. Now mind you it was about 14 hours that I cancelled my service, Frontier stated that they already gave my number away. And had to give me a new number. Well every time I paid my bill they always stated it was charges from my other number. Many times they bundled my charges together and stated I owed no more on the bill. But I always received more charges, and again stated from my other account.
I paid them hundreds of dollars! And always got more charges and from other account and always stated all charges were paid in full. At last I refused to pay the last 50.00 dollars, I stated I did not owe them anything, but they always bundled the charges. So I did not know what I was paying. Mind you I paid them hundreds of dollars. So I refused to pay anymore charges and they put it on my credit report to make me look like I didn't pay my bills. So I'm disputing the last charge.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Frontier has been a nightmare since day one. They didn't hook up service when promised, the company is unorganized and doesn't know how to communicate between departments. Because of all the service hook up issues (I ordered in December got service in February) they promised me my first month would be free which was noted in my account and was found and read back to me on several occasions when I called asking about it. They overcharged me by more than $150 on my first bill which still didn't have the first free month on it. The $150 finally got that resolved after 2 months but never got me free first month promised.
After 5 months of service we ended up moving, when I called to cancel I was told that I had just made a payment and since they bill a month in advance I wouldn't owe another bill. The lady "Robin" said that I would receive a bill because they were already generated but to ignore it and by the next billing cycle it would be taken care of. Well that was wrong. The next billing cycle I got a collections notice in the mail!! I immediately called Frontier and asked them about it and again was told they bill a month in advance but for some reason I still owe even though I've made a payment and unless I pay the bill it will go to collections and put a bad mark on my credit. I explained I had just moved and didn't budget for this because I was told I wouldn't owe but they said whoever told me that was wrong and I had to pay.
I received a voicemail from one of their collections agents the next day (still have it) saying that If I paid $25 every 28 days it would avoid collections and I wouldn't have to pay all at once. I tried to make this payment online and they locked me out of my account because I have no service with them anymore so I called and the system wants to charge me to make a payment. I am not going to pay to make a payment over the phone so I was sent to a customer service rep who said that even if I pay the $25 they will still send me to collections. I have no way to avoid this. Every time I call Frontier I hear a different story. It feels like they don't care about their customers at all and are only trying to get extra money out of you.

We purchased Frontier to install internet and phone in our home. Struck a deal, they pulled our credit (without telling us), and gave us a order confirmation and told us they would be here between 10 am and 12 pm on Sept 2nd. They didn't show. We called customer service. And between being hung up on, sitting on hold, and being told 10 different excuses to why they had not showed. Everything from the lines were being worked on to we aren't even in their system. We wasted a entire day missed work which cost us about 200 in what would have been paid wages.
After much hassle they told us they would be here by 5 o'clock on Sept 2nd and gave us dispatch number. After they didn't show up we call just to find out we aren't even in their system. I have seen some bad customer service but this is by far the WORST company to try to get internet from. If you are considering getting Frontier Communications I hope you take the time to read their reviews and take them seriously. I really wish we would have. Trust me reading a Reader's Digest is a better use of time and in 28.

I'm not sure how this company is alive at all. I moved this June and called twice about transferring my service to my new address. TWICE they told me that my address did not exist (I live right in town in a place that has been here for decades, literally) and then they told me they would send someone to look at the transformer and then we could move forward. No one came.
They sent me another bill. I called and spoke to them 3 more times each time someone telling me that the service "would be cancelled now" (it should have already been). I got 2 more bills. Finally today a woman who was very kind told me that it takes 2 months for the bills to adjust and I would get a refund. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE JUST SAY THAT?! I am still blown away that no one followed up with me transferring my service in the first place- they not only lost my business but also my recommendation. I went with Northland Communications here in the Panhandle.

I was a long-time customer of Frontier Communications, from 2009 when they bought the region from Verizon to May 2016. I was happy with their service, and the only reason I decided to terminate and go with another ISP was that over the time I was with them, the cost of the "Triple Play" went from around $90/month to $190/month. During the time I was with Frontier, I had no serious issues with their service. On two or three occasions there were outages due to storm/animal damage to equipment, but that is understandable.
My only contacts with customer service were pleasant. I called a couple times to see if there was any way I could reduce my bill. The representative was always pleasant, checked for a possible reduction and informed me that it wasn't possible. My final contact with customer service was to terminate service and verify that I could keep my phone number and my Frontier email address. That went smoothly. My final contact with Frontier was at their local site when I returned the hardware that belonged to them. I received a receipt for the equipment. I have since received my final pro-rated bill and paid it. No problems.
As I said, the cost of the service was the only reason I decided to change providers. Another ISP offered a "Triple Play" package for $90/month for 2 years, so I contracted with them. The actual bill with taxes and fees is $118/month, but that is about $80 a month less than I was paying. In addition to the reduction in price, I am getting broadband speed of 75+ Mbps vs the 25 Mbps I was getting. I know most people only post reviews concerning some problem they have had with the provider. I feel that positive reviews should also be posted.

We switched from Time Warner to Frontier. Approximately the first of August 2016 we called Frontier to schedule a triple play package that included TV, Internet and phone. We would have 4 TVs on the system. As we had a phone number that was issued to us by Time Warner before the 16th of April 2016 we wanted to keep the phone number so we asked Frontier to bring it over to their package. At first we were told we would have to contact Time Warner and ask them to port over the number. When I contacted Time Warner I was told NO, the new provider had to request the port over. I conveyed this information to the Frontier Customer Service. We set up the Frontier installation for the 29th of August.
About the 15th of August we received a letter from Frontier stating that our credit was not good enough to get the phone number. I immediately called customer service and was told that our order was all followed up and the letter did not mean anything. The representative wrote up a new order and said they would be out on the 22nd of August not the 29th and that all was good. The 22nd came and no Frontier technician. I call Frontier again and could not get an acceptable answer from the person I spoke with so I asked for a supervisor. The supervisor said that the paperwork for the port over of the phone had not been completed and they could not come out to do the installation until the 29th, the original installation date.
On the 29th the tech came out and said our order was all messed up and he did not have a clue as to what equipment to install. He went back and forth with his customer service and others. He could not get the phone to work properly either. After spending about 6 hours at our house he finally just installed what equipment he thought we wanted. We got TV and Internet working but the phone line still would not work properly. He said he would do some remote work the next morning and let us know when everything was working.
The next morning he did call and said everything was good. A day or two later we noted that the phone was dead. We called in again. This time they said they rebooted the system and all was good. A day later we wanted to check our voice mail and found that we could not access the voice mail. My wife called again and told them we could not access our voice mail. They messed around for about an hour and finally said the voice mail would be working at midnight the 1st of September. While on the phone with the customer service my wife said we would like to upgrade to the next higher package.
Again, they said all was good and it would be in service the next morning, today the 2nd of September. WRONG--- The voice mail does not work and the new channels are not working either. I tried to get both these fixed by their chat line. NOPE---Called Tech Support and spent over an hour with them and they still can't fix the problem. Said it should be fixed in 24 hours. This whole experience has been a Keystone Cops deal since the get-go. I might add that I have written two LONG letters to the president of Frontier, the first over two weeks ago and have not received any kind of reply. I guess the next step will be to call the corporate headquarters and see if I can get some service that way.
UPDATED ON 10/04/2016: Our installation started on 29 August 2016. We did not get full service until around the middle of September due to lousy programming and phone port over. We were told our first bill would be on the 1st of October 2016. Well, I logged into my account management on the 3rd of October as the 1st was on a weekend. The amount due for the first months service was $821.65. Now mind you, we were told that our monthly bill would be $147.00 for the services we ordered. The people in their billing department are a bunch of idiots! With over 2000 reviews and 99% of them bad, I don't know why the Federal Communications Commission does not do something to make Frontier Communications take care of their problems.
I did write a multi-page complaint to the FCC about our experience with Frontier. I did receive a call from someone at Frontier Corporate who apologized for the issues we had and she told me to call her directly if I had any more issues. WELL, as I write this review, I have a call in to her regarding this outrageous first month's bill. When I speak to her I will tell her what a bunch of idiots she has working in her billing department. If you have an issue with Frontier write the FCC and complain. They will forward the complaint to Frontier and by law Frontier must reply directly to you and send the FCC a copy of their reply. If we come together we just might get something done about this useless company.

I called Frontier Communications on 8/30 because 1 of my 5 TVs was not working. They had me do all kinds of things for over 30 minutes and nothing worked so they said a technician would be here 3 days later between 12 and 5. So I sat here for 5 hours today and it is now 6:15 and no one has called or shown up or told me when they will solve my problem. In the past hour and a half I have called Frontier 3 times and each call lasted over 30 minutes and accomplished absolutely nothing!

Initially called Frontier to set up cable and internet. After 2 hours back and forth with an operator I decided something is wrong here and just went with wifi and phone. She tried to convince me the whole time to go with cable and cancel mine. I declined at that point. The install took almost a week to schedule. It was a 2-4 install. The installer came at 3:59 after calling to make sure I still wanted him to come (huh?). Once he finally comes he is very negative about hooking it up and having problems. His visit ends with telling me "home office forgot to send the signal and he would have to come back tomorrow." After I took off an entire day to wait. He comes back the next day and still can't fix it. 45 mins later he says sorry he made a mistake. Ok net and phone are up and running. I asked him about cable and if it's worth it? He says "cable has never been available in this area".
So I wasted a hour with an operator for nothing? One of these 2 have no clue what's going on. Or both? Anyways he leaves and my internet runs fine for about an hour. It is now 2 days later and it cuts off every 10 mins. I literally had to disconnect it and use my neighbor's wifi for now. The installer left me his number and hasn't picked up on 4 tries. Frontier themselves is a 40 min wait to speak to an operator who either you cannot understand or they have no clue of what is going on. Horrible company and horrible service. Please stay away!!!

Called a month ago to resolve issue of one movie we purchased that will not play. After one hour on phone was promised it was fixed, but it still would not work. Called last night to resolve same issue as well as raise limit on movie purchases so we could buy another movie. First call, was on phone for 45 minutes, their rep would ask a question, put me on hold, then the call was disconnected. Called again, after 1 hour, the rep said she would get everything done and call me back in 20 minutes or less to confirm. No call, no resolution. I called back a third time, and after 20 minutes of waiting, another rep stated that customer service was now closed and there was nothing he could do for me. Waste of valuable time, and worse, they really don't seem to care.

Since 7/18/16 I have spent 6 hrs trying to have Frontier Communication resolve billing problems with my account. They have done everything from shutting off my cable to overcharging me each month at least $200 to $300 and expect me to pay it. When I call they tell me they have fixed it but each time the bill continues to come in wrong. Now they have threatened me to turn off my services if I do not pay the full amount. I have been paying each month what my original service amount is and on time and they owe me $411.97 in credit and state they are processing it but it still has not happened. Their service is beyond substandard and just plain pathetic.

I had Internet through Verizon for 6 yrs. I go to pay my bill in April 2016 & found out I was w/ Frontier now. I had trouble paying online, so I called & the guy I talked to told me I could upgrade to 24mbps (he said I was running at around 4) for $50.99 + taxes per month. I was paying $45.56 per month with Verizon. I agreed (my Internet was slow). He said that I would have to have a technician come out & I would get a new modem. I made an appointment. I had to change my appointment a week before due to family emergency. I called to change & then went on my phone & realized my Internet wasn't working. Called back & the tech said I would have to wait till my appt. because he couldn't help me. I went 2 weeks w/o internet.
My appt. day came, waited all day. No one showed. Called & there was no record of my appt. I was going to just cancel because I had already spent over 6 hours on the phone (most of which on hold) with them. The guy said he would give me a free month to stay with them. I rescheduled for Saturday. Sat around all day & again no one showed up. Called, after an hour on hold, gave up. Then get an automated call on Sunday saying that they were confirming my appt. for Monday May 2nd? Never made appt. for that day, but hoping my Internet would be fixed & I'd get my upgrade.
On May 2nd, the guy walked in, said "your Internet is working now. Verizon was too cheap to upgrade their equipment at the office & Frontier just did. I just left the office 20 mins ago, that's why it wasn't working & is now. It should be much faster now (I told him I was supposed to get an upgrade)" & he left. Was at my house for 3 minutes max. My Internet wasn't faster, never got a new modem.
Then, July 1st I received a letter stating that they received my order for a residential phone line (which was an extra $36 per month). My next bill was $314, because they were back charging me for the phone line from May 2nd. I wasn't even notified of it until July 1st! Nor did I want it or agree to it. I called again & they said it was required in my area. My parents live 10 blocks from me & had the same Internet as us & their bill never changed with Frontier. After numerous calls, hours on hold & bunch of different answers & promises of being called back, I found out that because I made a "change" to my account, (which I never even got an upgrade, faster internet, or new modem) that's why I was required to have a residential line.
I was talking to someone who said that they were working on fixing it because I should be "grandfathered" in since I was with Verizon for so long, but they would have to credit the phone line on my bill every month! I've been on the phone, mostly holding for over 14 hours now (I added up the calls on my cell phone) & have been dealing with this for 4 months. I tried calling the lady I was dealing with 3 times because I knew my Aug bill was close to being due. What should I pay? I'm not paying $300, when I should only owe $45.56 & she had left me a message the end of July saying that it would all be fixed & she would let me know as soon as she got it all approved. Never called me back.
My Internet got shut off on a Friday. I was over it. Called to cancel & get my final bill & the lady couldn't tell me what it was, told me she would call me back on Monday. Never called. Called back Tuesday & after being on the phone for an hour & 40 mins. & talking to 3 different people, I was told just to wait to get my last bill. I just want to be done with them & pay what I owe (which should be $98) & my last bill I received was $165. I'm not paying for something I didn't know about nor wanted. I've never had to deal with such poor customer service or been on the phone, on hold for so long with any company. This company is a joke. Don't use Frontier!!!

Hopefully one day our government may protect us from companies like Verizon selling accounts to an inferior, incompetent company like Frontier. I contacted the Attorney General and received a call from some higher up at Frontier a couple of weeks later. I complained about the loss of features like caller ID on screen, loss of purchases, lack of content, DVR with almost zero functionality, a website that allows almost nothing except the opportunity to pay the bill, and was told that all the small print allows Frontier to do all this without any repercussions.
So a movie I purchased may be removed without my permission, that is theft (A criminal act in which property belonging to another is taken without that person's consent) by any definition of the word and should be prosecuted. He explained that Frontier had made great improvements over Verizon and when I asked what those were, the only thing he could tell me was we now have customer service in the US and not the Philippines as Verizon had. I informed him that I never had to use customer service with Verizon since everything worked like a charm. The one time I did in the 5 years I was with Verizon was to replace the router, which was done within a day.
People should be called to account for the gross incompetence and horrible service that Frontier provides. Heads at this company should roll until the consumers of Florida get back the quality service and quality website that Verizon had. I could make changes to programming through the set top DVR or online. I can do neither with Frontier and the rep told me that was not likely to ever change. Their website could have been designed by a fifth grader with the almost zero functionality it has. On the upside, I have been getting some credit for the loss of purchases, functionality, and benefits I had with Verizon. However, it takes 30 minutes to an hour each month and you have to argue repeatedly with certain customer service reps.
This company will likely go bankrupt in the states they took over since the exodus that is coming will cost them millions of customers. I only have to suffer until November but then I am gone. Sarasota county should provide its citizens with alternatives to this company and should force them to provide the same level of service and competency we had with Verizon. I will be contacting them and asking them to get Brighthouse or anyone else that can take over Verizon's Fios service.

They have incorrectly charged me monthly and when I correct it they forget something else. I took off the $9 privacy and my next bill was $85 more. They just cannot get it correct and I am on a contract that I had with Verizon - and cannot get out of - which was for less money than they are charging me.

From the start when Frontier took over Verizon I have not been happy with the company. The billing and website and customer service department is like dealing with technology in the 1970's. The website is not user friendly and you have to actually pull up PDF files to look at billing charges. I first called in April because I couldn't pull up any movies I had already paid for. They said they would credit me for all of April so if I wanted to watch those movies again in April I wouldn't be charged for them again. I heard all the news stories of how many problems they were having and how ill prepared they were to take over the company so when I still couldn't pull up movies in May I thought well there are still issues with people not being to access their movies so since they know this they shouldn't bill me for VOD and they didn't for the next couple months after that.
Then today I got online and they billed me for all three months in one month! When I called they just kept reading my bill to me over and over again! Then they sent me to collections so I could work out a time frame for my bill to be paid. Collections said they couldn't do anything for me until my bill was overdue! How about a little more disclosure with customers! Letting know that they would be catching up with all the VOD charges in one month! I can't wait until I find another service. Until then I will write to everyone I know about the bad practices of this company that I do no want to give a dime to any longer.

Based on reviews here I'd say I had a typical experience with Frontier. Internet started cutting in and out on a Monday, went out and stayed out on Thursday morning. Called and they said they would send a tech out Friday. Unlike other customers I received a call...no show, as in he called to tell me he was on his way and never showed up. I called and asked why, and I was told that techs don't normally go to high demand areas (What?) and that the reason I have no internet is that they keep splitting ports to provide internet to more customers, but he would schedule an appointment for Tuesday between 8 AM and noon.
I received a call from the tech stating that he was on his was out shortly after 2 PM while I was at work. I came home to what appeared to be another call, no show, so I called Tech Support and learned that he did show up and found nothing wrong so they were going to send me a new router. I told them not to bother because I would simply call and cancel in the morning. When I canceled I was told it would take 7-10 business days for a box to show up to ship my router back. It's now Business Day 15 and still no boxes. I didn't realize they had to walk them here from California.

Called VERIZON to get an account. I was auto directed to FRONTIER. I should have stopped there but, I didn't. I was given the specs of service. The agent told me 1 mbps internet service. I thought he must be mistaken. So, I went ahead and subscribed to get service. I paid a $46.00 deposit for service with a credit card. I thought about the call and service a little more after getting off the phone and thought, "That really can't be correct", so I called back to ask about service specs again. The agent was right 1 mbps internet speed (why bother). I told them I wanted to cancel my subscription at that point and I was told I had to call customer service in the a.m. because they were closed at this time.
To shorten this story... I did. Agent took 1/2 an hour on the phone to learn how to request a deposit return while I was waiting. 10 days went by no deposit returned to card. I called back. One agent said I would have to wait a month for a check in the mail. Unacceptable I thought. Ask for supervisor I was transferred to another agent. Not a supervisor. He said it would take 24 to 48 hours and he would need my help. I gave him the last four digits of the card as he requested and we were mysteriously disconnected. I waited for him to call me back. No call was made. I'll wait and see for another two days. DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO FRONTIER COMMUNICATIONS UNLESS YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHOICE!!!

I have been fighting with Frontier since April when they took over from Verizon. My first Frontier bill stated that I had a previous balance. This service period was also billed by Verizon, which I paid. Since then Frontier states that I owe them for a missing payment and yet every billing period has been paid on time. They started charging me late fees, which I finally got removed, but they still think I owe them a missing payment. They received a partial payment from somewhere that I didn't make, but they can't tell me where it came from and don't appear to care.
I have provided them with all the evidence that I am up to date, but they still insist that I am wrong and need to pay for some unknown billing period. After several months, three billing support calls and several emails, I have gotten nowhere with these guys. We desperately need a class action suit to be initiated against this company and probably the whole industry. The entire industry lies, manipulates and overcharges, and a lot of people just pay the bill and don't question it.

When I moved, I decided to try Frontier Cable but soon realized that Frontier's advertisement and actual billing is totally different. I saw an ad for $89 per month and signed up for Frontier. It took two weeks for the installer (who is not affiliated with Frontier) to install my cable and it took over 3 hours (waiting for installation sucks). After I received my first bill, I was upset to see a bill over $300. I had to call customer service, in Seattle and had someone in accounting take $120 off the bill which my new amount at $180 was still higher than $89 as advertised.
I asked for a breakdown of charges and they gave me a bunch of BS. Being upset, I decided to switch over to Comcast and called Frontier and the customer service rep was rude and unwilling to cancel. I called Comcast regardless and had the Frontier system removed. 2 years later, I realized that Frontier placed an negative mark on my credit report without any correspondence. I believe they have violated the Fair Reporting Credit Act and I tried communicating with Frontier, but they don't even have a mailing address or a person to email.
They only have customer service reps who can't speak correct English saying they are the only person that I can settle this issue and I have no other choice but to pay. I feel violated and I will never trust Frontier Communications again. The District Attorney should keep an eye on Frontier Communications for violating Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Watch your bills! I've had Frontier for several years now. Between them and Comcast they usually have better internet service. Recently Comcast/Xfinity stepped up their game to 75Gbps+ and did the math to look at the best deal. I then spoke with Frontier and was able to negotiate 75Gbps for basically my current subscription fee. The first person I spoke with kept saying they couldn't provide the internet price available online... It was only after talking with multiple folks that I finally found someone who seemed to know their business. Long-story short they offered a fairly competitive monthly price for 75Gbps + phone. I double-checked with them multiple times on the price for internet + phone, and also received a confirmation number. Then for my first bill I was stunned to find out they charged me $30 about the quoted internet price.
This the 4th time that Frontier sales people have quoted one price, confirmed it and then billed me higher the subsequent month. I now will have to once again convince them to lower the bill to the agreed upon price. Next time I talk with Frontier I think I might record the call. These service agents either have no scruples, or are completely disconnected from the billing department that always bumps up the bill. :(
Updated on 06/23/2017: Oh Frontier, every time I think you can't go any lower you do. Continuing my story from my last review. Found out my bill 10/24/16 was ~$20 higher than expected. Talk with supervisor, he agrees to reduce and give me credit. 3 months later check bill and it wasn't changed. Talk with person they agree to reduce bill, but only by $10 (so still $10 higher than expected). I give-up, whatever. Then informed I was put on a termination contract in June '16. I told them this can't be given they never upheld their part of the contract She agreed this could be waived.
Feb '17 lose service for several weeks. Frontier says they'll pay back, but they don't. Have to call to convince the rep to actually give me the money they said they'd pay me. Grudgingly agrees. 6/22/17 see some new deals at Frontier. Figure I should talk with them again. Rep says can't reduce price. I ask if one particular service can be removed to save $5. She says yes. Then notes that if ever I want to terminate there will be a $110 fee. I say "what" I never agreed to a contract or termination fee. She sends me to escalation department. They confirm there's a fee, only can dispute when I cancel service and they can bring up call logs. Further, said that service removal I discussed with prior rep (10 minutes ago!), will increase my bill by $10!! I say "What, that makes no sense..." then they say the service removal requires a reset of my plan. I tell them to immediately cancel this order change.
Summary - when discussing things with Frontier highly suggest the following: 1) Frontier won't give you any agreements in writing. Ask if you can record the call to ensure their verbal discussion is logged, and can be proven later. 2) When negotiating a new bill price ask for the final price before/after taxes. Confirm there is no termination fee. Ensure this is logged. 3) Write down the confirmation number. Although I found Frontier will ignore what was in the confirmation number. 4) Lastly, treat them like a used car salesman. They "will" try to increase the bill without your knowledge wherever they can. I suspect customer service gets a $$ for each time they increase the bill on a customer. They aren't out to save you money... very very sketchy service.

I was told by the first person I talked to, that I would keep everything except the movie channels. Then most of the channels were removed. Also, I had upgraded the Fios package and the internet package. I was told someone would be out to my house to install them between 8am-5pm on 08/27/16.
Around 12:30pm, on the 27th, I called and asked if I could get an update and the lady said the tech is not running behind, but should be at my house before 5pm. At 5:15pm, I called because no one showed up or called. The lady I was talking to, said my account was completed. I informed her that no one came out or called. She stated she would check on it and put me on hold for 15 minutes. After that, I got put back into the hold queue. Then I had to explain everything again to the next person.
When they pulled up my account, they gave me some story that since I was told I was not being charged that somehow it was closed. When I inquired about my call at 12:30pm and the lady told me someone was coming out, and what happened, she informed me that they did not look at my account. Not sure how that is possible. Then today, 08/28/16, I called to inquire about my missing channels, the person told me they could not change my account. I can see why the company only has 1 out of 5 stars in customer service and satisfaction.

I was a former Verizon FiOS customer. Very happy with their service. I was one of the first FiOS customers in my area. In the years Verizon conducted business I NEVER encountered ANY issues. With Frontier... oh boy... where do I begin. They keep charging me for items I have paid for over and over again. When I call them to reverse charges (due to prior payment) they argue with, saying it's in the system. I try to explain to them, if it makes any sense for me to order a dual pack wifi extender every month... seems like my request is falling on deaf ears. If that wasn't it, they charged me $80 dollars for TV setup fee.
WTH is this... I have paid them over $1,600 in the past 3 months. Last month was worst $681. This month they billed me $500. Yes they credited me for 110 charges (as a courtesy, not double billing)... but yet again they repeat the same charges to back out the credit. I am really frustrated. Don't know what to do. Love the product but absolutely atrocious service.

I have been a customer of Frontier Communications for over 7 years and have had one problem after the other with our internet. I am promised that they will fix things and the "fix" only last a short time. No one wants to permanently solve the problems and consequently I am left without WIFI often. I have been lied to that techs are reviewing my past complaints as I have asked for them to read back previous complaints and they could not. Each time I call I have to go through the same routine about resetting the router etc. I have been lied to about being compensated, (Not that it added up to any more than $10 for being without internet for 7 days.) I cannot think of another time where I could not think of one positive thing to say about a company. Frontier does not care about the service, which can clearly be seen from Consumer Affairs and Social media. For the 6th time in 2 months I am currently waiting for customer service!

Frontier takes up most of my phone time. I only need this to connect to a modem once daily. My bill should be $6-$8 a month. I have called and chatted probably 82 times in the past 5 months since Verizon switched to Frontier. I do not like Frontier. My bills have never been correct (overcharging by at least $70-$200). I asked for my own phone number log and was told I need a subpoena. No one knows what the heck they are doing. I have been hung up on, transferred and on hold so many times that I cannot count. We need a class action lawsuit. Any information would be welcomed by me.

I moved the first week of June to Ventura County from Central CA. I was told Frontier Communications had taken over for Verizon in this area. They had me set for a phone and internet installation about a week later at between 8 am and 12 noon. I called them after 1 pm when no one showed up. They said they had no records on me, after 20 minutes on phone they finally found the info. and said he would be there at 2pm. I called back at 4pm when the installer didn't show. They said they didn't know me again and said their people were very smart and if they didn't have me on file, then I must be mistaken. I said "forget it, I'll look for another company" and hung up. At 5pm I got a phone call saying they wanted to install the internet and landline. He installed and said he was suppose to be here earlier, but was sent on other calls first.
I thought everything would be ok. I purchased the Freedom Essentials Plan, which included Internet and unlimited landline service local and long distance. I called their office twice and confirmed the details and it was $59.99 monthly. The first bill was a $149 over what it should have been and they dismissed those charges after over an hour on phone, (and they are rude on the phone). I got my monthly bill which should have been $59.99, but it was over $440.00 when long distance was added? I spent over two hours on phone with them. Took them forever to find my plan with unlimited calling. Finally they agreed I had it, but said it would have to go under their investigation and they would get back to me. Well I haven't heard back yet. Very unprofessional and not organized. Don't go with them!

I was a former Verizon FIOS customer when Frontier took over my account. Since then, I have gotten no satisfaction with either calls to customer service or online chats. I called yesterday to complain that about half of the channels I am supposed to get on TV are not available. After 30 minutes, a young lady comes on, and we spend another 30 minutes discussing the issue - in that time she puts me on hold 6 times. Finally, she says she is transferring me to Technical Support - and I hold for them about 10 minutes, then get disconnected.
Next day, I try the chat line. I wait about 15 mins. then get connected to Tech Support. I explain everything again, list about 10 stations I am paying for but not receiving. Eventually, she asks me to unplug my router, wait 3 minutes, and all should be well. Before doing so, I ask: how do I reach you if that does not work? Reply: easy - just ask for me by name when you come back online to the site. Of course, nothing changes, so I go back to the site - I am number 47 in line for a chat. After 45 minutes, when I am down to number 3, the ** cut me off with a message that I have timed out. Rest assured, they will not be my provider when my original Verizon contract is up. WORST EVER!!!

Primarily though managed through devious access routes at three different times to three different customer services rep re correcting my account billing and was given three DIFFERENT amounts and issue was not resolved. And I was issued a letter saying payment overdue and service would be discontinued when I had already spent literally hours resolving it and being told no problem, solution will be displayed on next bill.
Frontier is an octopus of disconnected service reps whose supervisors give different decisions from one to another. I have spent HOURS in my efforts to sort things out. When I explain their mess the person always apologizes... but I realize that is ALL they do and probably can ever do. Frontier badly needs humans, professionalism, organization, leadership. It apparently does not value its business enough to value customers. Pray for another alternative communications company to elbow this mess aside.

On 8/27, I called Frontier Communications about an incorrect charge. I waited 15 minutes before "Mike" answered. Even though I provided my name, phone number and address, he could not find my account. Finally he asked for an account number and said he found it. I have called 4 other times and the customer service representatives failed to find my account and made me wait up to 30 minutes. I explained the situation and requested that Frontier make it right but he proceeded to argue with me. When I asked him to provide a copy of the contract that he kept referencing, he put me on hold. Whenever I asked him to provide proof or documentation, Mike put me on hold. The last time he put me on hold, he never returned to answer my call.

Frontier has been one of the worst companies I have dealt with. I called to add TV and they disconnected my landline. I called tech support to have landline fixed and they said I have to place a new order. They also said they have shipped the TV set top boxes which I never rec'd. They then sent me a letter stating 80 dollars for activation fee for TV. This was never mentioned when I placed the order. I called to cancel TV altogether. My landline is still disconnected and my recent bill from Frontier is almost 500 dollars, which shows they charged twice for TV activation fees and some other charges. Now on hold with billing. Can't wait to get away from Frontier.

Our family is very dissatisfied with Frontier Communications. If we had a choice we would have never gone with them as our communications provider. We've been a long time communications consumer and have had several communications with tech support and customer service with GTE, AT&T, Verizon, and now Frontier. This will be my first review - Really bad review thanks to Frontier.
We had no choice in using Frontier due to the sale from Verizon and we have given them a try, however since June 2016 - the change - we have had the worst service all around; slow internet, channels being blocked even though we pay for them, rented movies being static and unwatchable, multiple calls from vendors and 800 number even though we pay to block them, and tech support unable to resolve the issues within an hour or two time period. I am a busy business owner, homeowner, and parent of three children that doesn't have time to call Frontier for one hour or so every time my kids rent a movie - it used to be movie Friday's but thanks to Frontier that ship has sailed.
In this day and age and in western society we don't have time to deal with lack of knowledge from tech support and slow communications providers. We need our communications portals to be quick and functional at all times and if they are not we need someone to know and be able to fix it quick. If Frontier doesn't get its act together they will lose out on customers =$. They are losing my business.
We will not recommend them to anyone - We will recommend that no one use them. We tried for three months, and gave the benefit of the doubt. We had multiple other issues at the start such as overbilling, no function of cable for multiple hours, and slow internet. Yes we have a bundle; Internet, cable and phone with Frontier (again not by choice). However, the lack of knowledge by the technical support agents we've talked to, the long wait times and non-functioning communications has been very frustrating so we are done with them. CPUC please find better options for us consumers that rely on good communication portals for our businesses, social media, and most importantly our family.

I usually do not write reviews for any reason; however, I felt it was very important for me to write this due to my horrible experience I had with Frontier Communication. I was a long time Verizon clients and was very happy with their service. When sold the company to Frontier I did not think anything of the change until I called the company to add internet.
In the month of June I wanted to add Wi-Fi at home so I called to get it installed. The spoke to was very nice and sounded like she knew what she was doing. Boy was I wrong. It took 2 hours for her to add all my information into her computer. She talked about her family and her new grandchild and her daughter in law. After we hung up I thought okay it's done, I am going to wait for my router. June turned into July and still no router.
I called several other times to find out what was the hold up and they the answers I got were "it's on its way", "you have to go through a third party" "Your address is incorrect" all these call took 45min each (my phone has a timer). I have to say that with Verizon I set up an automatic payment system so when I was checking my account I saw that Frontier was charging me $240.00 for the installation and Wi-Fi service. I was furious!!! I called and they said "oh, you should have received your router already". Well I asked them to cancel my Wi-Fi service, do not send me a router and I want a refund. Of course the customer service agent did not know how to help me so she sent me to someone else, 45min later they "said" they would refund me my money.
I checked my account and no refund so I thought I would look online but of course their website was down for three days (nothing they do is of quality). I finally was online and I could not view my bill because I did not connect it to the portal. So I tried to connect it and I was locked out. I was trying to do anything I could without calling them, unfortunately, after I was locked out I had no other choice. I called and asked the rep if she could clear my portal and she said "of course I can". Ya right! She said "oh I'm sorry my system doesn't let me reboot." So then I asked her if I was still getting billed for internet service and she said yes! I was not surprise and to add more fuel to the fire, they had all my old information and a very old email address that I could not retrieve any passwords from them because my new email was used by a different user (which did not make sense). So she sent me to the IT department and then the IT sent me to customer service.
I was now an hour into my call. I was so frustrated and mad that when the agent answered the call I said "I want to close my account" she asked me why and I told her because I do not want service from Frontier any longer. I am finally out! The only thing is my elderly mother lives with me and she needs a landline for her emergency phone and after some research I found out that I cannot get other service provider. There is a huge monopoly going with these phone companies. If anyone has any other phone companies that can help me please let me know. My mother needs her phone. Frontier in my opinion and from my experience is the worst company that I have ever known. If anyone is going to start a class action suit ... I am so in!!!

They were very quick to sell me but when it came down to what I purchased no one knew. Seems like no one takes notes and I was also hung up on. When I called back I was put on hold for over 15 minutes while they were updating my account with their promotions. Verizon you made a big mistake by outsourcing to this company.

Frontier communication is charging me for service that I've never received. Back in June I called to get internet service for $45 a month. Was told that I would be receiving my modem and service within a few days, never got none of the above. I called for 2 weeks straight, I kept getting the run around, so I decided to cancel everything, told them that I was very unhappy. Oh forgot to mention while waiting for this "modem" I ended up with over a $200 bill so that's when I told them to forget about their service. Was not going to pay that for service I never received.

A few later in a July I get another bill for $136! I call them again. They told me to ignore the bill. They will credit me. Supposedly I received the bill because they bill a month ahead, again they said it would get credited. Now in August I get a Collection letter saying if I don't pay the $136 my account will be in collection. Called, spoke to a manager Lamar from Pittsburgh.

I am hoping that someone can help me with a recommendation and/or a Frontier department that can provide authoritative help/solution to a bill I am disputing. So far, I have talked with four Frontier representatives, and two came up with what I thought were reasonable solutions. I was given confirmation numbers that I thought "sealed the deal," which was/is NOT the case! Each time, I was told it take 7 to 10 days for the changes to appear in my bill and to check my bill on frontier.com for the changes.
My adventure started with a follow-up call on 9 June 2016 from a Frontier representative who said that Frontier is offering a special promotion for Fios TV that included Extreme HD, three movie channels and a Sports Package, all free for 90 days, Quantum DVR, free activation and installation, increased computer speed, and it would be for two years, cancelable at any time without penalty for $101.60 per month. I said "yes" to the offer and it was installed on 22 June.
On 23 June, I received an email from Frontier announcing "Your automatic payment in the amount of $418.28 has been successfully scheduled for 08/10/2016." As I stated above, I have talked with four Frontier representatives, who came up with reasonable solutions that never came to fruition. Although the bill has changed mysteriously from $428.18 to $373.31 on 22 August, back to $428.18 on 23 August, and to $317.68 on 24 August. I need to be able to talk with someone at Frontier, so that when a reasonable solution is reached, this person has the authority to ensure it is applied.
Updated 8/31/2016 - This is a follow-up to my earlier post on 24 August. Since that time, I spoke with an additional three Frontier representatives, and a supervisor regarding my on-going dispute over my excessive bill. As before, all the representatives, except the supervisor, were sympathetic and proposed some "credits" to align my bill with the original package I had agreed to on 9 June. The supervisor was just the opposite. When I asked her as to why the original promotional offer I accepted on 9 June was not accepted or recognized, she responded, "Because it was not processed properly." So far, I am unable to determine what, if any "credits" were accepted, if any, as my bill on frontier.com remains unchanged at $317.68.
The situation remains hopeless, as a customer, I am powerless, and continue to be frustrated. At this point, I will wait a little longer to see how this plays out. In the meantime, I will be checking out other providers, which a slant toward DISH, which has been fair in the past. As a friend said when I shared my Frontier experiences with him: "I do not see how they manage to stay in business!"

Like many others who have posted a review, we began to have trouble with our internet service soon after Frontier acquired Verizon's landline services. We had DSL through Verizon, and very rarely had any problems. Once Frontier took over, our DSL disconnected a few times, for fairly short periods of time (a few minutes to a few hours). We thought maybe they were switching things over to new equipment, or something like that. Last week, when our internet stopped working again, we waited a couple of days, figuring it would be fixed soon. When we headed into our 4th day without internet, we called Frontier to ask if there were a known issue in our area, and if so, were they working on it. I was informed that there were no problems in our area, and that the problem had to be on our end.
The tech support person then ostensibly checked our phone line, and said there was nothing wrong. He then instructed me to do all the things I had already done--check connections, power off and reboot the modem, and renew the IP address. I explained that I was not calling from home, but that I had already done all those things, and they didn't work. He told me that we might need to purchase a new router from Frontier (but did not explain why), and said he could schedule an appointment for a service call, but informed me that I should not "give attitude" to the service person "like you are giving me." Like many people, I use the internet a lot for work-related tasks, so being without it for several days is quite an inconvenience. When speaking with the person at Frontier, I was firm but polite--I was not "giving him attitude," although I felt like it.
At any rate, we are done with Frontier, but it's amazing to me that with all the complaints about Frontier's customer service in recent months, nothing has changed. Is anyone in charge of this company? Have they ever heard of customer service? Do the rude employees realize that their job is to make the customers happy? Do they know that when enough people switch to another company (as we have decided to do), they may be looking for a new job?

I have a "beeping" going on from a receiver in the garage which is very very high up that Verizon had installed. I can't get to it, and can't get on ladders. I called Frontier Communications yesterday and spent a total of almost 2 hours plus on hold. I had not only my cell phone, but my land line on hold/different numbers I ended up doing FOUR CHATS/exhaustive and detailed and ALL OF THEM WERE SUDDENLY DROPPED. I could not believe it. The last 3 were with the SAME REP... and each time he said, "HOW CAN I HELP YOU"... and I had JUST rewritten everything.
Finally I was getting to the point that I just copied and pasted. Then that CHAT disappeared also. I was doing this chat thing to kill time while on the monstrously long wait time. It was unbelievable. But did ANYONE think to call the customer back that has been on HOLD for almost two hours? Of course not, not ever. So, then I hung up everything and waited again all over again for TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. After 1/2 hr a guy gets on the phone and he is setting up a time for today and THAT CALL IS DISCONNECTED. SERIOUS? What planet are we all on folks? But, do you think he called to definitely set up that time? NOPE.
So last night I got on the phone and got a fellow (who sounded like he was from some far away land with the thickest accent ever. I never could translate his name) at 10:30 pm and told him everything, and he sets up the time for 8-10 am today. I got ready at 7 for the "grand arrival", but feeling very very suspicious and non trusting, so I called. It turns out the rep late last night was NOT ABLE to put it into the system, even though he told me he had. He NEVER BOTHERED to call me to let me know... Surprise, surprise. Now, I am just finishing about 1 hr of hold time. They cannot get anyone out here in the morning, so I guess I get to give up another day out of my life. This company has NO REGARD for people's time and energy. No definite time they will be coming... Sometime in the late afternoon. UNBELIEVABLE FOLKS. Something has to be done... Outrageously bad company.
I just got off the phone with a Customer Service rep and I let her know my feelings. All she could do was apologize... but she finally said she had other calls to get to. REALLY? How about resolving a few issues. Well, I am already done with a 2nd FCC COMPLAINT today, and writing this up. Always have the option to drop this poorly run company, and that may be coming. The WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Oh, and just to add insult to injury the place I get xrays, ultrasounds done at in town last week was literally SHUT DOWN because they are now 100% hooked up with FRONTIER... They could do nothing... Could not answer the phones, could not do xrays or ultrasounds (some were STAT)... all day.
Because of that REPORTS could not get processed, and I have had to wait one week to get my report from an Xray and an Ultrasound. All because FRONTIER was not getting there in a timely manner, they lost literally one day of production, and not only that, but it affected patients and doctors and hospitals too. How can we let this keep happening? Something has to change... and soon. Well, I will make myself a pitcher of iced tea, since my day is shot and I get to sit around all day waiting on them.

I am still trying to get them to get their Video on Demand and Programming straightened out. The latest thing is they came out again yesterday to see what was wrong and after 4 hours had to replace the router and router still does not work today. The technician still does not know why the tv programs are not showing up in consecutive order on the Video on Demand or why you are unable to program the news on the weekend (you can only schedule it for Monday thru Friday).

I asked to speak to someone that can help me and they just put me on hold for a supervisor, 18 minutes later and still no one to talk to about this. They are charging for services after they should have disconnected and won't make it right.

In April 2016 Frontier took over our account from Verizon. 2 months went by I never received a bill my services was disconnected the end of May. I called after googling their number explained I never received a bill. I then went over my account with what I wanted and did not want. (Only wanted what I had with Verizon.) I paid them 254.00 was told that would take care of my bill until July. Middle of August I still had not received a bill. I called again. Being told I now owed 464.00. After 3 hours on the phone I had the bill reduced to 122.00. Was supposed to get a bill reflecting the changes made and the amount I owed. Still have not received a bill.
My internet works only half the time. When it does work it's slow... Never had this problem before when I call to say my internet is slow. Can they send someone out. I was told it's slow because of the package I'm paying for? I guess when I canceled my internet security package it took away my internet. I'm not sure but it's the 22nd of August and I have yet to receive a bill from them. I took the day off from work to fix this situation and have been on hold for an hour. I'm calling Comcast and canceling my service with Frontier today.

Since the beginning of August, we have been shopping around for a new TV/Dish system. Numerous times we called and went into the store here in Fort Wayne, IN and they quoted us the same amount. We decided since it seemed like a good deal, we would go in today and sign up, but they proceeded to quote us $50+ higher because they said on the 1st of August they went to new receivers!
We had been talking to customer service and going into the store all through August and we were quoted something completely different. Why would we be told something less if you supposedly went to a new, more expensive plan the 1st of August!!? They said that the new receivers are better blah blah blah... What everyone needs to know is that they are not only charging $15 for DVR, but they are now charging $25 just to have the new receiver. What a RIP OFF!!! Thank goodness we are not under contract because they just lost a customer (not that they care)!

A few months after Frontier took over from Verizon, our internet went out. For some reason, our account had been "unported". I was willing to chalk it up to simple human error owing to the changeover, but over the last two months it has become apparent that Frontier is in WAY over its head, and that it is rushing to put people into support positions who do not have the training, intelligence, or temperament to handle the job. Hearing things like "Whoa! I can't make any sense out of this!" and "Man, this is really messed up" did not give me much of a feeling of confidence. After insisting on talking to a second level tech, I was finally able to get them to restore my internet service. This took the better part of two hours.
A few weeks later, I received a phone call from Frontier telling me someone had ask to change my account login or password info. Since I had made no such request, I called to find out what was going on. After 15 minutes waiting in to even speak to someone, and another trying to get them to understand why I was calling, I was put on hold to talk to someone in the business accounts department. After 15 minutes with no response, I call back, irate (but by no means abusive) only to be told "You don't have to be rude about it" when expressing (politely, but frankly), my frustration with their ineptitude. I demanded to speak with the operator's superior, got the problem straightened out (no, no one had actually attempted to change my information, can't say why you got that call), but at no point did I receive any kind of apology for being treated so poorly by the first operator, even when I asked directly for such an apology.
This latest incident was the last straw. The internet was down (again), and after again waiting 15 minutes to get through and 15 minutes making the customer service tech understand the problem, she explained to me that it would take 30 to 60 minutes or more for their staff to run checks on the system from their end. When I requested they call me back after that was done, I was told that was not possible, that their system "required" that I stay on the line while they did their troubleshooting. I was incredulous, but powerless to do anything other than submit if I wanted my internet service back. After another 45 minutes, they were unable to determine the problem and told me there would be a technician at my home in about 15 minutes. Five hours later, he shows up. Very quickly he determines that my GFCI electrical outlet had gone bad. I plugged the main unit into another outlet and everything worked.
We both agreed that tech support should have started their trouble-shooting by having me make sure the lights on the main unit (power supply, essentially) were lit. About a week later, I receive a letter from Frontier stating they were going to bill me $85 for "Resi 1 hour". I waited 20 minutes in the "chat" line and spent the following 45 minutes describing to the customer service agent the nature of the letter. When he finally told me that the charge was for the technician that was dispatched to my home, I explained to him that the phone support agent had never asked me to check the power supply, and that had she done so there would have been no need for the technician's visit. I also explained to him that at no point was I told there would be a charge for the visit. This made no difference. He told me it was a "valid charge", and ONLY when I said I would dispute the charge did he say that he would refer the matter to another department as a dispute.
At no point did he offer this as an option: I had to be the one to mention it. Either he was not trained to offer to put the matter in dispute, or was instructed not to explain that that was an option. I suspect the latter. I can't remember ever having felt so completely abused by a company that was supposed to be providing a service to me. I'm at the point where I don't care that moving over to another company might mean I won't have as fast an internet connection as before. I'm sick of the sorry excuse for customer service that Frontier is forcing upon its unwilling customers. I will take a step down (saving some money in the process), and wait until Google fiber makes its way into my market, or Frontier sells out to someone who can properly manage the business.

Re-negotiated my contract July 2016 as my two year contract was up, and was happy with the new plan/charges, with my bill now $20 less. Got my first bill August of 2016 and it was $20 MORE than my old service. Called in to "billing disputes" and after 1 HOUR they said there was nothing they could do, as the amount I was quoted in July did not make sense. The billing rep. said to call cancellations to see if it could be returned to my original amount. I was quite upset and frustrated, however, Frontier has a monopoly on DSL service where I live, with no other options (I have looked). The next day I called cancellations and to my delight, the rep. said it was an input error and that my bill would be corrected to the quoted amount in July! And YES, it has been!
After reading the reviews I was very disheartened, so I needed to share my good experience with them. Sometimes it is just a matter of navigating the puzzling corporate structure, where one hand does not know what the other hand is doing. As a side note, my internet performance has actually improved since Frontier acquired Verizon. I had techs out every 2-3 months for 2 years. Frontier tech said it may be software problem. I have since gotten a new computer and PRESTO, no more internet performance problems.

Four of the five times I called Frontier for technical support in one day, I had to wait at least 20 minutes to talk to a live person.

From the second they took over Verizon Fios, it's been a disaster. Customer service is completely clueless and the website and self-serve phone services do not function. I have not had many basic channels for weeks, the image on the screen says your unsubscribed to the channel even though you are subscribed and are paying for the channels. They put you on hold for endless time, transfer you from person to person, have had me unplugging, re-plugging, rebooting, etc. for hours and still no basic channels, only bills. They really suck, hard to believe it's so hard for them to succeed in such an established industry how hard can it be to copy the blue print of the company they bought.

On or around Feb./March of this year, my cable services with Verizon went off air without any notice. I contacted Verizon but I was informed Frontier C. was the new provider. I called Frontier customer services and it took more than one hour to get through. I told them I did not have any services. Now, after review, I decided to stop services with them. I was billed $30 for my account ending with **. I refuted this bill and the supervisor agreed to issue me credit. I returned the equipment by mid-April and so I thought case closed. In June to my surprise, I received a bill of $422.5 with a new account number ending with **. I called and after waiting for more than one hour, I was informed this a bill carried over from Verizon. I always paid my bills on time via auto pay. Ridiculous.
Last week, I received another bill for 622. Once again, I called and I was told that I have to pay. Now, I asked why my account with 0 balance was assigned to someone else and the answer was this how Frontier does business. If your account has a 0 balance, and you are no longer a customer, your account is immediately assigned to another customer and you are assigned a new account with a new balance. My first account number with 0 balance was: **. This was assigned to another customer since it had 0 balance. I was assigned a new account number: ** that now has a balance of more than $600. Well even corrupt 3rd world countries do not behave this way. To date, no one seems to solve this case. I have all the paperwork and please if you can help, let me know. Thanks.

No star should be my experience! I cancelled my service 4/12/2016 after the change over from Verizon to Frontier. We were without internet service for a week and then the phone went dead.

I have been trying for four months to get the $235.83 back that I paid. They sent me a bill for $22 for two days of service that we never used. Today 8/18/2016 I was finally told that my account went to collections. Funny! I was told two months in a row to disregard that charge. I was told three times I'd be receiving a full refund in August! Never did we receive a letter telling us the account had gone to collections. They are all liars. From the top to the first person you speak to. I hate lying! So never ever will I ever recommend Frontier to anyone.
I will spend every chance I get to tell people what liars they are and how their business practices are not customer friendly. Of course we know if they paid everyone the money owed them by now they will have to go out of business. Hopefully, that will happen sooner than later. I don't need the money! But, I am livid to think there are others out there who are less fortunate than myself that are dealing with this company. There needs to be an investigation into their business and billing practices. After the hubby retires we will get a box antenna and use Netflix and Hulu. We are done with cable. No more monthly bill for TV! Internet Provider will be $40 and cell phones will be all we need as far as phones are concerned.

While we were customers with Frontier, we paid $104 a month for their internet service plus a landline phone, used for business as well as private matters. Like many aggrieved customers and ex-customers of Frontier, I never picked them from a line-up of competitors, nor did I sign any contract with them. Southwestern Oregon’s Verizon customers were passed on to Frontier years ago. I can’t remember exactly how long ago, but it had to have been at least six or seven years. During most of that time I’d been threatening to bail from Frontier, mainly because of their flaky internet service. We were constantly getting bumped offline. Repeated attempts to resolve the problem with them went nowhere.
More recently, our telephone service with Frontier had started getting flaky too. I'd begun hearing crackling and hissing noises on our landline, loud enough to interfere with conversations. Those I spoke with never heard it, but at my end it was bad enough that sometimes, their voices were nearly drowned out. On two separate occasions, Frontier abruptly increased my bill from $104 to $169, with no explanation provided on the invoice. Needless to say, I called both times, although with very different outcomes. The first time was roughly two years ago and on that occasion, it was determined by the customer service rep to be some sort of error. I was able to get it straightened out and had our bill reduced to the original amount (which had been bad enough WITHOUT the increase!)
The last time they pulled this $65 increase on me was two or three months ago. When I called the billing department, I was told this was because our contract had expired; that if I wanted to pay the regular rate again, I would have to renew. So I said okay. It was just spur-of-the-moment. Eager to have my bill reduced to the initial amount, I complied to that extent. But I signed nothing. Then the next day, I changed my mind. It occurred to me: why not switch to Charter? I’d never been happy with Frontier's service.
This seemed as good a time as any to make the change, so I called both Frontier and Charter to get the process going. It took weeks and many phone calls. The part that seemed to drag on forever was waiting for Frontier to transfer our phone # over to Charter. That $169 bill never did get reduced. I assumed it was due to my having switched. Seemed so arbitrary, I was tempted to thumb my nose at them and not pay it. But in the end, I decided it was worth it just to be rid of them. So I grudgingly paid it. Meanwhile I'm paying Charter just over half what I used to pay Frontier for an internet that almost never flakes, and a phone that no longer hisses and crackles. Had that been the end of the story, you might not be reading this. I most likely would have brushed my hands off and put the matter to rest. But imagine how surprised I was to get another bill from Frontier, a month after switching to Charter!
When I called Frontier about this, I spoke with a customer service guy named Zack ** who checked the status of my account. Zack determined that I was all paid up and that the new bill was a mistake. He told me to hang onto his number and to notify him if I got any more bills from Frontier. This put my mind to rest, and I soon forgot about it until this past Monday when yet ANOTHER bill from Frontier showed up in my mailbox! Now they are demanding $1,910.98 from me. That's right! One thousand, nine hundred ten dollars and ninety eight cents. When I called customer service, I was told these charges are for a renewed contract they still hold me accountable for. So basically I am being charged nearly two thousand dollars for a service I not only do not want, but have already terminated.
Meanwhile Zack ** isn't answering my calls. All I get is voice mail. He’s never in his office, it seems. Or maybe he’s avoiding me. Reading all these other complaints, I have to wonder why companies like this are even allowed to exist. My own experience with Frontier, along with the others, has me convinced this outfit is a total fraud. They don't deliver what they advertise and charge top dollar for shoddy or non-existent service, while sticking customers with bills not even owed. Frontier shall not see one thin dime of that $1,910.98 arbitrarily demanded of me! All for a fictitious contract I've never seen, let alone signed.

I told him I just found out my order has been cancel without any reason and notice!!

I said "you mean I need to wait for another week for service??" It's really waste my time and they can't find any order information for old order!!! I really mad and asked him that "I want to talk to your superior", he said "well, if you want to talk to manager you need to wait for 24-48 hours for their call back!!!" Compared to another one week wait period so I said OK. But in act, NO ONE CALL ME BACK!!! And since not internet service really inconvenience so I called today again!! A representative Brittney pick up my phone. Well when I gave her my order number she can found it.
I explained my whole story again to her. She said "hmm...internet and phone bundle cannot be $39.99 this price!!!" And I told her we really need internet service ASAP. She said "OK then you need to "replace" another order again to under your name!!!" What the **. I said "it's not my house and my in law English not good." So I was allow to replace their order with previous representative!! She keep saying "no, I can't do that!!! You need to have your in law with you and call back!!!"
Conclusion: Frontier accept our new order on August 10, 2016 and then cancelled it on the same day without any notice or information!! After they cancelled our order still sent us activate email to confirm our new service. We even set up our username and password. Their customer service is really honorable, cost so much time to process and service, attitude bad and no one call back or follow up.

My level of dissatisfaction with Frontier Communications has steadily grown over the last year. Specifically, with their internet. Over 20 calls to their local, state, and corporate offices have not produced any change. In fact, while in a conversation with a lady who supposedly worked in the president's office, we were disconnected-permanently. She claimed a problem with her phone; In the president's office of a phone company! There simply is nowhere to go to resolve an issue of fraud.
I was told, repeatedly, that since I live in rural southern Ohio my speed would be very slow. Time after time technicians worked to tweak the service; however, it remained slow. However, now, it is just not slow - it disappears. I have tolerated the slow speeds. I can't handle the lack of internet daily. Every day, on the average, my internet disappears 15-20 times. I pay for this "nothing." That has risen to a new level of fraud.
I pay for service, even though it is slow, and I do not receive the service - and Frontier knows it! I am tired of the chase, the lies, and the poor customer service. I would encourage everyone to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau and the Public Utilities Commission. Since I do not have a choice of providers in my area, I am bound to this horrible company. While I could get internet from a satellite provider, the cost is much more pronounced. In fact, one of the ladies I talked with in the president's office apologized for the problems and stated, "You could use satellite service: however, it is more expensive. I am not able to solve your problem."
I have retired; however, I now offer a small consulting service. I work internationally and use the internet almost constantly. Frontier should be embarrassed by the thousands of complaints they have on file with the BBB and in other posts. This company must be held responsible for their lack of commitment to the public interest.

After I canceled my service, I received a bill and they still had not credited my account for the $50 AND they were charging me $50 for the 5 days of prorated service. My bill for entire month was normally $188. I called AGAIN and asked about the $50 credit AND why was 5 days of service $50. I was told that the $50 credit was denied and that when I canceled my service they prorated those 5 days based on a full priced billing cycle, even though I had a special promotion monthly package with them every month.
I even spoke with a supervisor who readily admitted this several times that this is how they operate. She would not issue the $50 credit either. I told her to go back and listen to the recorded call I had when I was first told I would be receiving to prove that is exactly what I was told. She said she sorry I was misinformed but still would not credit my account. What kind of company has its employees tell customers they are issuing a credit and then 3 months later not honor what was told to the customer??

The internet speed I was paying for was 75mbps upload and download but the test revealed 56.6 Mbps download 58.4 Mbps upload on one computer and 26Mbps on the upload and 20 Mbps on the download. Frontiers answer to this was to sell me an extender for $72 and would not adjust my bill for services that were not provided. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was never provided. They said I needed to continue to hold after one hour of holding because they had a lot of customers to deal with.

Even after producing several confirmation numbers and statements, we are left with no options for recovering the money that this company stole from us. We have called 2 times per month and this company continues to steal money from us. If we want to cancel we have to pay an additional fee on top of the money we are currently paying even though they have not provided services they are billing for since April 2016.

I originally signed up with Verizon until they sold us out here in California to Frontier. We have had nothing but issues with them. We moved and scheduled two weeks in advance to have our internet set up on Monday. Every utility showed up, I called and set up their services without a hitch. Frontier calls me Monday morning and tells me "I am sorry to do this to you but we have to move you to Thursday." I call to complain because we had agreed on Monday and my security system requires internet. We have had our house broken into twice, once while we were home.
I stressed to the individual this is why it was important to us. They escalated the ticket and said I wouldn't receive a call within 24 hours and they were "really good" at getting back on these things. We never received a call back and the technician showed up Thursday. After connecting our internet we lost our TV, so called DirecTV who couldn't come out until Monday. We were without TV for 5 days and when they finally show up we find out the Frontier technician who claimed was a supervisor for Frontier had disconnected our DirecTV cable from the roof and used it for the internet so he wouldn't have to run his own cable.
The DirecTV guy was pissed and felt bad for us because a 2nd call for them to go out there can cost $100 and told us if we get a bill to send it to Frontier since they created the issue. I call Frontier, now furious, and explain the DirecTV guy wasn't going to do their job for them since they were there first and they needed to send a technician today to fix this since they never did their job the previous Thursday. I am off Monday and Tuesdays and they tell me the earliest they can come back out is Wednesday. I asked for the phone number to their legal department.

I just want to go back to Verizon! Frontier is not good!! It is a waste of time calling Frontier. You always going to have to wait about 15 minutes to get anyone. Any order or any change is going to take up to two weeks to take place. Any problem with the service they can not fixed right away you have to wait another few weeks. I am going to another provider because this is ridiculous.

Two weeks before the take over of Verizon from Frontier I signed a new contract. The following month I received a bill for 800 dollars! I have been calling for over 6 months now, and they are still over billing. I have called day after day, nothing is corrected. Now they are trying to get me to reinstate with a two year contract again? This is a joke of a company, horrible customer service, and overseas call centers that have people that barely speak English. I absolutely HATE this company. I am hoping there will be a class action suit against Frontier.
I cannot believe the state of California would allow something like this to happen, and continue for months and months. They disconnected my phone for two weeks, then the internet, then wanted to charge an early termination fee to start both up again, and they turned everything off without a notice or anything. This is so tiring. I have sent countless emails, texts, phone calls to customer service, the billing department, etc, to no avail. They still do not have it settled. I would not recommend Frontier to any customer looking for cable, phone, or Internet service. STAY AWAY!!!

Working with Frontier Communications has been a nightmare. I have never written a review for a company but felt it was needed for Frontier. I want people to know what they are getting into before signing up. Our fax number was never ported like it was suppose to be. We kept our Charter services an extra 4 days so we could port our numbers which never happened. 1.5 months later our fax is still not working because Frontier never created a 2nd line. Now they will make a 2nd line "for free" that actually has a $7 surcharge. Our bill was quoted $70.98 for internet/phone. Our monthly bill has been $91.99 due to taxes and fees. It would be nice to know the actual amount of the bill before committing to a contract.
Customer service has not been helpful. Wait times are long and I've been passed from person to person. Within the same phone call I have gotten contradicting info from 2 employees, more than once. In the month and a half that we've had service, I've called 5 times and have spent anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hr each time talking to someone and haven't had anything resolved. We were suppose to get $100 Visa gift card for signing the contract. This has been a battle to claim and I'm waiting to call the reward center when they open tomorrow. Unfortunately this is the only company that services our area so we don't have the option to go with another company. This whole process has been disappointing and upsetting. I've seen a lot of bad reviews and hope Frontier can pull it together soon.

So as I sit here for the second day in a row waiting for the cable tech, I figured I would write a review. I would strongly recommended anyone considering utilizing this company for their cable or internet to reconsider. My experience with them has been terrible. I was an original AT&T customer until Frontier took over. Never had a problem with AT&T services... they were outstanding. Since Frontier has taken over there have been nothing but problems. Frequent outages with cable, internet not working, and multiple calls to customer service with no resolution.
Three days ago I lost internet and cable and am still waiting for them to fix it. I have made multiple calls and several "tickets" have been put in. I was finally scheduled for repair yesterday and was given a 9-hour window... 8am-5pm. At 3pm they called to cancel due to "unforeseen circumstances". When I called their customer service line I attempted to cancel my service and was told I need to call back in 24 or 48 hours. Who does that? When I asked why I was placed on hold.
After being on hold for 30 minutes I hung up and called back. The next rep I got told me that was unacceptable and transfers me to the tech department where the hold time was 30 minutes. So I hung up again and called back. This time I was able to speak with someone who, to her credit, tried everything she could to get a tech out but was unable to. What she was able to get me was the first appointment the following morning which was at 8am. Assured me the tech would be here promptly at 8am. So here it is... 9am and still nothing from Frontier.
So glad I already set up an appointment with Comcast. Frontier has been quite a disappointment. I would not recommend them to anyone especially if you rely on internet for things like work or online classes. The only good thing I can say is their prices are decent, however, beware that once the contract is up their prices increase and there is usually nothing they can do bring them down.

We begin urban adventure with frontier when they bought out Verizon fios. We had food, Internet for about $50/mo. Suddenly our bill changes. It went up from $50 to $75; so I give them a call to find out. Surprise, it's a new company. The woman I spoke with was very nice. She told me all these pretty things about saving us money. We had cable with dish, but was checking on that bill too. She quoted me $160 for all the bells and whistles. I double checked with her that the price she was telling me was the final cost, dvr two tvs, all the whistles. I wanted no surprises in our first bill.
We got tv installed 7/6 and it was a very rocky start. I called to cancel service after the first two weeks. Sound kept cutting other and still does, on demand didn't work for a while. I tried to cancel but got the runaround big time. At one point I was speaking with tech support to try and fix some of the problems we were having and she had me climbing around in my basement looking for a portal of some sort. Our first bill just came for $450! What! How??? Plus another bill for $80!
They are professional con artists baiting you with one thing, not at all providing the service they claim to, but giving you a big, huge bill. When I call to cancel they pass me around for an hour and give me the runaround trying to tell me I'm under contract. I try to explain they are in breach of contract for not upholding their end of the deal by providing cable and internet that works. This can't be legal business. I've spent more than 30 hours on the phone with them in the first month. I'd love to speak to an attorney about the way they handle business and their customers. If any of you reading this and are an attorney, or know one interested in sewing a company who is outwardly ripping off people, I'd love to speak with you in regards to Frontier Communications. This has been an awful experience.

Over three weeks ago I set up an appointment for new service installation for Friday August 5, 2016. On August 5 my girlfriend and I missed work to come up from Miami and be available for your company since your rep assured us there were no other appointments available. Friday around 5pm I called to check why no one had called me about my appointment. The rep I spoke to told me there was an internal error and transferred me to a supervisor by the name of John. John assured me he would call me within the hour and that someone would be out to set up my service the next day Saturday August 6.
An hour passed and John did not call and Saturday no one came. Saturday I called back, spoke to a rep that told me there was no appointment ever set up for Saturday and transferred me to a new supervisor John **. Which assured me he escalated my account and someone would be out to my apartment the following day Sunday. Sunday came and when I called to confirm my appointment the rep told me that no engineers go out Sunday for new service. The rep then transferred me to a new supervisor Karimah ** phone number 877-433-3806 ext **.
Karimah told me she had no idea why I had been given wrong information up to date and that no one would be out to the house until the 13th. Karimah assured me she would call me back that same day for an update. When Karimah called back she informed there was no new information available. When we tried calling Karimah back on Monday no answer and no voice mail returned still by today, Wednesday August 10. On Monday August 8 I called customer service yet again to wait on the line 15 minutes to be connected to a rep 25 minutes because your rep could not locate my account plus another 20 minutes for your supervisor. Weird my account has been located very easily three days prior. Anyways the supervisor I was transferred to, Dennis, basically told me there was nothing to be done.
I've wasted numerous days and countless hours dealing with this issue that no one told me about when I signed up with this company. Only after talking to about 10 people was I informed that the issue is that Frontier has not been able to fix wires in my area. Yet my neighbors have Frontier and their service has had no interruption. I should have been informed of any issue in my area and I would have taken any measures to look for a different company. Customer service is of no help and basically have told me "sit back and wait because we have no answers for you." They don't even have an exact date of when my service will be installed. This is unacceptable.
After sending an email to corporate, someone from corporate called and apologized for the inconvenience and said I had to wait some more but that Saturday August 13 someone would come out to my apartment to set up my service. She assured me the issue with the wires in my area had been fixed. Today is Saturday August 13 a technician by the name of Higonson ** Id number ** called me early in the morning to say he was coming but that my installation would take several hours to do. He was very reluctant to come out and even lied about his name and told us his name was Bruce. He called twice more before arriving looking for excuses not to come out to my apartment. I was not able to be at home today so my apartment complex was kind enough to send up an employee to wait with Mr. **.
Upon arrival he was already looking for a way out of doing the work. He said it was going to take too long and was going to have someone else come do the work. I told him I've been waiting over 2 weeks for someone to do the work after waiting 3 weeks for appointment, so he needs to at least start it. He said he would see what he could do. He then said he couldn't do the work because he needed access to the apartment upstairs so he was going to leave. I told him not to leave because I would get him access to the apartment upstairs. He then said not to worry he doesn't need access he would start working outside. He also then called back to tell me he couldn't do the work if I wasn't there. Which isn't true since we confirmed with corporate if somebody from my complex could be there in my place.
This man was so rude and hung up the phone on me. He also lied to his supervisor of the actual situation. I spoke to customer service and was told he had relayed the work to someone else that would be there later today. I interrupted my plans yet again for Frontier to call or arrive. It is now past 5:00pm on a Saturday and I haven't even gotten a callback. Chances are I've waited yet another day.

Dealing with Frontier customer service is a waste of time. Our internet and cable service in April and May was down on several occasions. I called several times and the only resolution they offered was a $25 credit for one month since they could find no record of any of my calls for service. On May 28 a storm caused us to lose all service (Internet, cable and phone), we called on 5/28 to report the outage and while it was still raining, my husband was told to go outside to the "Verizon" box, open it and attempt to reset it. This did not work and I believe dangerous to ask someone to do this in the rain.
We were told that the soonest anyone could come out to make repairs would be June 14th - more than two weeks later! I called several times over the next few days to see if the service repair could be expedited and on 5/30 I was told that a technician would be out within 48 hours. After waiting for 3 more days, I called again and was told that they had no record of any calls since 5/28 and 6/14 was still the earliest date for repair.
We then decided to look for another provider and were able to get new service installed. I called Frontier on 6/13 and cancelled my service and the repair request for the following day, the tech still showed up saying that the service order was not cancelled. My bill was paid for service in May but we got a bill in June so I called to confirm that my service showed cancellation on 6/13, the rep confirmed. I received another bill in July for $432 so I called again and this time the rep said not to worry because it takes a couple of months for everything to cycle thru billing. Last week I received another bill for $486 with a "past due" notice on this bill, I called again and was told that there is no record of any calls except the one on 5/28 when our service went out.
I was on the phone for almost an hour with rep named Serena. She kept putting me on hold to talk to someone else and told me that there is nothing that can be done, the full amount of the bill is due. I asked to speak to whoever she was asking and she told me that would not be possible but she could schedule a supervisor to call me back within 24-48 hours (needless to say that time has passed and no one called me back!) Serena did offer to connect me with a service called Life Line. She said they could help set up a payment plan, which is ridiculous since I do not owe this money for service that we did not receive! FRONTIER is the worst SERVICE PROVIDER and their CUSTOMER SERVICE is a joke!

I spent roughly 6-7 hours on the phone with this company during the months of June and July. My initial call in June was to remove the "whole house DVR" feature from our plan. I felt this was an acceptable request given the fact that we don't use the feature and given that it did not violate our standing contract we had signed when our FIOS was managed by Verizon. Our experience with Verizon had always been "by the book" - they never gave us what I would call a fantastic deal, but Verizon always delivered a quality product and were fair and just with respect to their customer service.
With Frontier, my experience has been much different. That initial call in June was to remove the DVR feature we were not using. It was anticipated that our total bill would be reduced by approximately $10 given that this was the cost of the feature. Our total bill has historically been right under $150, so I figured our new bill would be around $140. To my surprise, the bill I received in July was for about $185. After calling and speaking with Frontier customer service (two or three different agents) I was able to get them to comprehend the notion that when a customer opts to remove a feature the bill should go down. I mean, that is logical, right? I was truly appalled that the agents were unable to simply understand this concept.
At one point, in my frustration, I simply requested in one of those July conversations that Frontier put back on the whole house DVR and forget my request/conversation from June. However, re-adding the whole house DVR brought my new bill to around $200! How can I pay $150 for the service for almost two years, and then be expected to pay $50 more because I wanted to remove a feature?
So, the summary of this story is that I wanted to reduce the bill we had by removing a service we didn't and don't use. I felt this was a fair request for a family expecting their first child. However, the removal of this feature resulted in my bill increasing by about $35. After many hours on hold and in conversation trying to explain simple logic, I was finally content when they were able to get my bill down to $145 (which isn't what it should be technically, but is good enough I guess). They did offer to credit me for my frustration/time/whatever-you-want-to-call-it.
My wife would have rather me bill the company for all of the time I had to spend on the phone dealing with their billing system (which would be enough to cover my bill until my contract expires in December). I'm still waiting to see how the credits work on/for my bill. It would be great if they followed through... Realistically I would have been pleased with no credits and just logic through this ordeal. To top it off, my service (for awhile there) was extremely lousy (a common theme it appears). We were certainly very displeased through the month of July.
After finding what I would consider enough resolution for the time being (or until they mess up my next bill), I did ask to speak with a customer service manager. I let them know that their customers, employees, stockholders, and their own families deserved better than what I thought the company as a whole has been and seemingly continues to provide based on what others are saying. If Frontier maintains the model I experienced in July, it is likely they will not be able to fill the niche that Verizon has left. This opening in the market will allow for another company to come in and rule that market. I do hope that the strategies, methods, and procedures used by Frontier improve for the sake of all of those involved.

Let me leave a feedback and warn other consumer to avoid dealing with the PAIN I've gone thru!!! First I called for transfer of service 2 weeks ago, today is the scheduled transfer to my new house wherein I drove 2 hours and took time off for this and I waited in the morning and when it was around 1-2pm I decided to call the customer service just had a worry feeling. First customer service I spoke to required me to give her the 4 digit PIN, I gave the numbers I thought it would be but since I had set this up years ago I forgot! So I said, there should be another way for you to verify and confirm my identity! And she was NOPE!
And I ask for manager, and she just put me on HOLD and come 45 mins of waiting I just had it and hang up. Called few mins after, I spoke to another customer service and she was helpful BUT gave me all the bad news that the ticket that was opened for my transfer service needs to be corrected and thus the technician will NOT come! I was so disappointed, they could have called few days ago or something to give me a heads up and not the day and not until I called personally to check! So, ok I have to deal with that and then I asked the customer service to escalate it and hopefully be installed the next day but was told they cannot and no way that it will be installed for another week! WHAT KIND OF COMPANY IS THIS?!! SHUT IT DOWN! Please, don't let consumer experience all this type of frustrations! You are killing us!!!!

We were Verizon Fios customers for many years and went thru the conversion to Frontier without any problems at all, until Saturday, July 23. We had a 30 second power outage and when we tried to turn our TV back on there was nothing. We called after about 15 minutes and were on hold or talking to someone at Frontier for almost an hour - plugging and unplugging all our equipment (phone, internet and cable) as they tried to get us up and running. Finally they said, "Wait 15 minutes and we are resending a signal and you will be fine". 30 minutes later we called again, no service at all. No problem, they said they would send out someone that day between 4 and 7 p.m. We thought that was amazing and waited.
At 8 p.m. we called back and the customer service rep almost laughed at us saying, "You really thought someone was coming on Saturday night?" His notes apparently said someone was coming on WEDNESDAY. Trust us, we have been communicating our entire lives and know the difference between today at 4-7 and Wednesday. We were on hold again for over 50 minutes while they tried to get us a supervisor. I ended calling on my cell phone after that long a wait, got a supervisor finally, and she said she would have service restored for us on THURSDAY! Can you imagine if you worked from home or had kids who lived for the internet and TV and you didn't have any service from Saturday to Thursday?
We dropped our service that night. Best part is they called on Monday and Tuesday of that week asking to come to the house to get everything back up and running. Seriously???

Said there was nothing they could do - "You're stuck with it." HOLY COW!!! Unbelievable!! Bottom line I highly recommend getting your service from somewhere else. Neither one of these companies that promise a great "BUNDLE" rate deliver anything they promise. There is no way they should even be allowed to offer discounts together as they do not honor their initial quotes. Please do not use FRONTIER and especially do not bundle with DISH.

I was a Verizon FiOS customer in Texas from 2014. I had an initial 1 year contract (2014 - 2015) with VZ with a termination fee clause. My monthly would be $75, but after "discounts," it would be $30. Sometime in 2015, during the course of a phone call with VZ Customer Support, I extended that contract with VZ for another 2 years (2015 - 2017). To the best of my knowledge, I believe, I asked about the discount and requested that it apply through the entire term, that is till 2017. I would never have renewed the contract with VZ if I had to pay full price anytime during the duration of the contract.
VZ FIOS TX was purchased by Frontier in 2016 and the charges remained the same for the first few months, I did not pay much attention to the bills. One day, looking through a bill, I noticed that the discounts were set to expire in 2016, whereas the contract ended in 2017. This meant that I would be paying the full price, $75, for the whole of 2017. To the best of my knowledge, I would not have agreed to such an arrangement with VZ. The previous VZ bills did not have this information in the bill.
I called up Frontier Customer Care, and requested that either my discounts continue through the term, or they give me further details of the verbal agreement I had with VZ, such as a recording, notes...something. I received neither. I canceled service with Frontier and had to pay the early termination fee. I believe charging me the early termination fee is unjust. I would never have agreed to paying full price for a year (with other lower cost options available) and I feel that either the discount duration was modified by Frontier without my knowledge, or VZ Customer Care slighted me during verbal extension. Either way, Frontier declined to waive my termination fees and could provide no details whatsoever regarding my verbal communication with VZ. Moral is never to agree to anything verbally and always have everything in writing.

We have been with ATT U-verse and went through the change over to Frontier. We had issues which we had Frontier come several times. 99% of the guys were VERY nice and did exactly what we wanted them to do. Only once did we get a guy who was lazy and didn't do a thing other than wiggle some wires. So because we have outside wiring issues, we decided to cancel the service.
I have read all the reviews about cancelling service with Frontier, and I did honestly expect to put up a fight. However I was pleasantly surprised this morning when I did just that - I went through the prompts on the telephone, but I did not choose anything to indicate that I was cancelling my service. I chose the "other" option they had on their phone prompts.
I asked a very nice young man (from the US) who was upset at the fact that I needed to cancel my service. He did ask me the reason, and I gave him a very vague reason (marital) - because really - it's none of Frontier's business why we want to cancel. He was very supportive, told me that they were sorry to see me leave, and told me not to pay the final bill until it was adjusted with the proper amount showing.
He also said that they will mail out the return labels with boxes within the next few business days - he said to give them a week to "err on the side on caution", in other words, in case they don't mail them out on time. He also stated that they only want the receivers and remotes back, not any of the internet equipment (I thought that was odd - so it must be considered old technology). He gave me a confirmation notice and said I'm all set. It was a very good clean customer service experience. I was pleasantly surprised.

Yesterday, someone was sent out to bury the cable at our property. I don't know who it was that was contracted to do the work, because I was not at home at the time it was done. While burying the line, the water line was ruptured. After contacting Frontier to find out who to contact to get the water line fixed, they said a technician would be out the following day. When we called the next day to find out when, they said the ticket hadn't been labeled an emergency, so someone wouldn't be out until the following day.
After another phone call was placed to a supervisor, I was informed that a technician named Jim was en route to the property. Hours passed with nothing happening. Another call was placed, and I was told that the technician had tried to reach me (he did not) and that the property was vacant. I transferred service to a new home a few weeks ago. I was never informed that a new account number would be assigned to me. So I was then told that it would be another 4 days before a technician could come out. We have no water because of this carelessness. There are two children in the residence, and temperatures are exceeding 90 degrees during the daytime. I cannot wait around for Frontier to figure out their own dysfunction.

Long wait times on phone (1/2 to 1.5 hours) - without resolution. Promised a tech would be out the next day with product - didn't happen (he was supposed to call 30 minutes prior to arriving, but never called. He was supposed to bring and leave new set top box and leave it - he didn't but he did take the old broken box. Called again for another appointment. (Another 45 mins on hold.) Was told a tech would be out between 8 am and noon and would call 30 mins prior to arrival. It's after 2:15 and not a call nor a tech. Why do they LIE about someone will call when they know that they won't. Why do they say someone will bring a new box when they know they won't. These people are making DirecTV or Dish TV sound good.

Seven contacts trying to get one problem corrected. Twice chat session terminated with a terse message about problem already turned over to service (it hadn't been) and twice given a control number about service coming to fix (no one showed up) and three times told "we'll get this fixed for you" - nothing done. Problem is within the cable DVR box. Hard reset sometimes clears but did not in this case, so only recourse is to get a replacement DVR. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest, I rate Frontier's customer service and repair service a negative 15.
I'm now starting a boycott Frontier Communications campaign in this city. After 60 years of dealing with various companies - who ranged from very good to poor, I'd have to say Frontier service is the worst I've ever encountered. I don't like Time Warner at all - FIOS is far better, but in that I've been trying for over 2 weeks to get Frontier to fix the problem and they've done nothing but give me lip service and no action. I'm switching to Time Warner and flapping my jaw to all within ear shot about Frontier's lousy service - or maybe I should say non-existent service.

It took several phone calls, which translates into hours & hours on the phone. First on hold, then troubleshooting. After the 3rd person wanted me to troubleshoot AGAIN, I said "Uh, No. I've already done all that stuff twice!" The only reason I had to even call back the 2nd and 3rd time was because their tech never showed up so I was trying to reschedule. And they want me to go thru all this stuff again?! Now, I'm stuck with them because I agreed to a 2 yr contract. You can bet in 23 months I'll be shopping around!

OMG. The worst experience ever! The internet is on and out, restarted and rebooted everything possible but connection still bad. Calling the tech support but despite them thanking me for my patience I am trying not to bang my head on the wall. Anyways, after 40 min on hold the guy says he is just a customer service. What??? I specifically selected Tech support and thus the patient waiting. I want to cry out of desperation. Then the CSR contacts tech support and here I am waiting again.

I pay the bill for my 96 year old mother's service and loved Verizon Fios for over 5 years. Always excellent signal, service, and support. Unfortunately, since April 2016, since just before the switch over to Frontier, she has lost more than half her channels including all local channels and many of her favorites. They either won't come on at all, or if they do, they are so pixelated, they're unwatchable. I have called 9 times since May with calls lasting 45-90 minutes each, always transferred at least twice, and always without a resolution that is ever followed through by this company. Their technical troubleshooting is required to go through each time, and of course each time it's the same result.
Promises to credit the account for past outages and to send a technician out are either outright lies or incompetence, because they never follow through. When I call back to follow up, they say "nothing in the notes about that." I am so heartbroken for Mom. She can't watch local news, the Olympics, old movies, and she doesn't "want to complain". My understanding is she doesn't really have another choice in her complex, so my next step is the Attorney General, BBB, and probably Yelp. My experience has always been that I can get any company to come around and support me and my trouble, but I just think these guys are either overwhelmed, dishonest, or just incompetent. What else can I think?

I hope this receives you in good faith. Your technical support and scheduling is the worst service I have ever had the displeasure of being forced to deal with. I had to have Consumers Energy do some work on my utility pole on August 5th. The internet service to my home was disrupted. I was not able to actually reach a person to speak with over the weekend after 9 different attempts. I was able to contact a person Monday August 8th to schedule a appointment time for August 9th between 8am and 12pm.
I did not have any person contact me about your missed appointment with me until 5:10pm. This was a voicemail and they stated they could not make it to my home until August 10th between the hours of 8am and 12pm. Again, I waited. Again, a no call no show appointment from your technicians. I called your customer service department @ 2:53pm to try to find out if this appointment was going to happen. After 21 minutes and 15 seconds on the phone. I was informed that again the technician was not going to be able to make the appointment that your service department rescheduled.
This leads me to where I am today. I have a appointment for August 11th 2016 for the hours of 8am and 12pm. I have zero faith that this appointment time will be honored.

I was originally contracted with Verizon fios and November or December 2015 I renewed my service contract with them. In March 26, 2016 I received a email from Frontier telling me my cable and internet service was transferring to their company starting on April 1, 2016. This was news to me, I was upset - my service was transferring to an unknown company. I called Verizon and spoke with an agent. She informed me I can cancel my contract with Frontier and not pay a termination fee if I didn't like the service. I called Frontier when my service was semi-transferred to them and also spoke with an agent who asked me to give them a chance before cancelling service. She also stated that if I didn't like the service I can cancel without paying a termination fee. She said "try it out for a few months." I said "ok I will give your company a chance."
It has been a horrible experience with them. My DVR hasn't been working. I lost the movie I purchased from Verizon. They have been difficult to work with. I call and will be put on hold for hours and then they say they can't find the account. I recently tried to cancel my service, they said I will have to pay a term fee. I told them I was told I can cancel without the fee, also I shouldn't have to cancel since my service contract I signed up was with Verizon not Frontier. I called in recently to cancel my DVR service - one of the cable boxes and some movie channels, they didn't cancel anything and my bill is even higher. Please help me with this issue, my next step is legal action.

As I just found out the hard way, always delete your automatic payment when you change from Frontier to your new service provider. Here's why, my last 5 day bill was paid at full price for the month, now I have to wait for the proration credit for another 90 days then I get a refund by a debit card. Great. That puts my overpayment (8.5.16) refund in November. So the day you cancel your Frontier service, cancel your auto payment the same day and let them wait for what you actually owe them. I hope this helps!

Finally a supervisor released me out of our contract. But the surprise came when after they finally dismissed us we still received a 200 dollar termination fee even though the supervisor on the phone told us that it was waived and they would refund us the money for the month we did not have service. Needless to say this is the worst company and it should be shut down and all the money they have received should be returned to the customers who they defrauded. I am pissed.

I had Verizon from the day it was avail. in my area (9-10 yrs). As years went by my bill increased as they kept offering bigger better deals with visa card enticement. I am not one to jump around to get the best deal but I always felt as a loyal customer you should also be entitled to the best deal. I decided to see what would happen with Frontier. When they took over Apr. 1 it was a mess. I also lost channels, internet and home phone. I spent hours getting each one taken care of. Then I received my first bill and was now being charged with a $45 fee when I was already upgraded to that for staying with Verizon. I was also charged for the ultimate movie pkg. even though I lost 2 movie channels plus security fees. I called and spoke with someone to tell me how to get my best deal, new equipment and corrections for the overcharges. I am 65 and my tv goes through my stereo system in a low cabinet that I cannot install this myself.
I asked for it to be installed. I got the date and time and they were a no show. I called with my order confirmation # and was given the runaround for over 3 hrs only to find out they do not install the equipment unless it is a new installation that requires wiring. I said forget it. My next bill charged me for the new equipment that I never received and my old equipment that I still have. They said I never returned the old stuff. They said they would correct the bill and instead of $282 it would be no more than $250 from then on. My next bill was over $430 so I called again. After 3-4 hrs on hold or being switched around I got Lisa would said the manager would handle the correction so I should pay the whole amount and I would see a credit on the next bill. I refused and said I would pay the $250 right then and they said the next bill will be correct. My next bill was $596 with unpaid balances and late fees. I totally lost my mind and my calm nature.
On Aug 1 I started at 3:30 pm and at 5:30 pm Angelica said she would have to call me back that same day. No callback. I called back Aug 2 @ 9:52 am and got Jay who said she would look into it and call me back in 2 hrs. I got a callback @ 10:48 pm and then still needed to talk to a supervisor. On Aug @ 11:03 pm I got Diane in billing and by 12:14 am she said her supervisor said I should pay $280 and then I asked for the supervisor. At 1:46 am I finally got Rodderick **, Supervisor who was very apologetic and said he redid all the calculations and that I should pay $202.52 and that it would all match up with all the credits I were due. I tried to pay my bill Aug 8 and I can't pay it by phone or internet because it says my balance is $596.94. They actually automated phoned me with a recording of a hardship payments plan department to help me change it into monthly amounts that I can afford.
That's why after I stopped laughing I started doing my research and started looking into Frontier complaints. I found almost 4,000 complaints and after reading only the Florida ones, I found that I was no alone in this. It also took me to websites from the states attorneys office where Ms. ** and Mr. ** are talking about a pending class action suit against Frontier. They recommended that anyone having these problems should call the Better Business Bureau, FreshFromFlorida.com and 1-800-HELP-FLA.
I will personally sue them if they go as far as to cut off my service and tarnish my perfect credit standing. The fight has just begun! I will continue to pay the $202.52 monthly that I was told is all that I owe and they can continue to torment me for as long as they want until my patience runs out or until they attack my credit or me personally. Good Luck to all of you out there and keep fighting. Maybe the FTC will quit screwing up and put a stop to this injustice.

After 15 minutes on hold, someone says "Yes?" I asked if this was the person I could talk to about my bill. No answer, just a grunt. I then asked why there were 3 new charges for some kind of "upgrade." I was told those were on my previous Verizon bill. I answered "No they aren't. I am looking at it now and nothing like that appears on the last Verizon bill." She then asked for my account number. I gave it, she grunted again and put me back on hold. 45 minutes later, I had to give up. The rudeness is astounding. Why does the FCC put up with it?

We decided to make the switch to Frontier from Time Warner less than two weeks ago. The initial phone call getting signed up was a breeze, but after that has been a NIGHTMARE!!! We were given our installation arrival date for Friday 7/29/16, an AM appointment. They called and informed hubby that our appointment time would have to be re-scheduled for later in the day. We were leaving to go out of town, and scheduled for the next available day Tuesday 8/2/16, time window 8:00 am to 12:00 pm. Hubby again took day off waited till half past noon, and called customer service. He was specifically told that the technician was 20 minutes away.
After an hour hubby called back, and they couldn't even find our information in their system. Once they located our information hubby placed on hold so technician could be personally contacted, again hubby was told tech was 20 minutes away. After another hour called back and again they could not locate our information, once they located our information hubby placed on hold so technician could be contacted. CSR informed hubby that technician came by knocked on door, and no one was home. REALLY!!!
After hubby stuck at home ALL day we had another appointment scheduled. A contractor, not a Frontier technician came to the house got everything installed (so we thought). More than 50% of our channels were not coming through. After hubby called Customer Service, they made another appointment for a technician to come to our home. Finally the issue has been resolved... FINALLY!
However we have a TiVo system so we do not have all the DVR equipment. Just the cable card is all that was needed. Hubby gets a call from Frontier this AM asking for payment for the three DVR boxes that were installed. WAIT WHAT? First we don't have three TV's set-up. We only have two, and both are connected to TiVo, and have just the cable card. Hubby explained that to the Rep. that called. They argued with him that "no sir you have three DRV devices". No. We have just the cable cards. Rep said "no sir you don't, you can't get the programming with just a cable card". Hubby states that all we have are two cable cards. Rep insists that we had three DVR's installed in our home, and payment is needed.
Hubby is now DONE with Frontier. He wants to cancel service, and wants them to just GO AWAY! Remember we have had this service less than a week. It's going to cost an $250 to cancel, plus if we don't turn in the DVR equipment we will be charged for it. WE DON'T HAVE ANY DVR EQUIPMENT! Frontier is a NIGHTMARE to deal with, they are unbelievable. They are just useless from the bottom up. I feel as if the CEO, investors, etc. just really don't care about this company, otherwise it would be ran a lot better than what it is.

I called up Frontier and after much ado, was able to negotiate a new lower rate, however, when I got my next bill in the mail, not only did I not have the new lower rate, it was even higher than the rate originally billed to me!
So, today, I called them and spent over three hours solid on the phone trying to resolve the issue. Well, I spent most of that 3 hours on hold, and spoke with about 5 different people, who each put me on eternal hold, which then reverted back to the awful phone tree recording, where I had to start all over again! I managed to stay calm and respectful, despite my unbelievable frustration, so don't think I was put on eternal hold as punishment, it was sheer incompetence on their part. After 3+ hours, I finally spoke with a supervisor, who told me they were unable to honor the agreement they quoted me, even though it was clearly documented in their computer system. Needless to say, I cancelled my service. Why give my money to such an awful company when there are other service providers out there.

TLDR - 7 months of misdirection regarding service charges and falsely advertised sales terminating in account disconnection without notice. The actual internet service has been flawless, but the billing has been terrible. Neither Comcast or CenturyLink were ever better on both fronts. We became new Frontier customers in Washington January 2016. We were offered a $35/mo rate with free installation. After our first monthly bill arrived $176, $110 in installation charges were included. In the process of calling to have the installation charges waived, we agreed to purchase a Nest Thermostat on sale for $100.
We declined any additional Identity Theft or Anti-Virus services at the time. Second monthly bill arrived with $288 in new charges and service installation charges had been credited but the Nest was charged $200 and we had been signed up for Identity theft services. We called and asked to have the extra services removed and the Nest discount credited. We were told this would happen. We explained that we would pay the bill once the charges were corrected.
The next two monthly bills arrived with a closer to contract $40 and $43 new charges. The Nest credit had not been applied and the Security services were still included. After each bill, we called and made the same requests. Both bills included credits for the security services but not in the right amount. We were told the Nest credit was missed and would be corrected. The security services still weren't removed. After each bill we called and complained and were told it would be corrected on the next bill. We explained that we would pay the bill once the charges were corrected.
Our service was disconnected in May from non-payment. We called and was told that the Nest credit had been rejected, we had been flagged for late payment and then disconnected. All without any contact from Frontier. I made a payment of $250 to cover the estimated balance of $35/mo for 6 months plus tax. We were told the Nest credit was rejected without reason but that it would be reviewed. We explained that we would not being paying anything additional until the security services were removed from our account.
The fifth monthly bill arrived $35 and the security services were finally removed. Credits still weren't applied in the correct amount. No Nest Credit was included. Surprisingly even though the new charges were $35 our invoice now showed a monthly service plan of $40/mo for the same service. This time I setup a service chat explaining the past issue with Nest, Identity Service and now monthly service charges. I was told that we were not new customers when we bought the Nest and no longer qualified for the discount. This was the first time hearing this excuse.
I was also told that the change to $40/mo fiber service was due to my service being extended an additional year. This was never requested by me or was I notified. I was told the service would be corrected back to $35/mo since I never requested it. I was told both corrections take 1-2 billing cycles to process. At this point I told Frontier that I would call back and cancel service in two months if the billing issues had not been corrected. I paid $36/mo on the June and July invoices until my August bill arrived.
The 7th bill arrived for August with credits of $10-20 applied but not the Nest amount or the monthly service correction. When I chatted with the service representative I was told that the Nest discount REQUIRED Identity Theft Protection services. Since I didn't have Identity Theft Protection services I could not receive the Nest discount. This was counter to what I had been told previously even though I had been previously signed up for Identity services without my request. This was also the first time I was told that I would not receive the $100 credit.
I was also told for the first time that in the fine print on my April bill, that the $35/mo service would increase $5/mo if autopay was not utilized. Apparently this was included in my bill but never mentioned previously and buried in fine print that was not noticed. So, on both of my billing problems the reasons changed multiple times and became non-negotiable. At this point, I gave up and paid the remaining balance of the account.
Four days after paying my bill the internet service was disconnected due to non-payment. My bank and Frontier's web account showed that the payment had been made. We called and had service reconnected with confirmation that no additional fees would be charged due to their error. I have yet to receive a bill for September demonstrating only a $40/mo service.

On July 1, 2016, I called Frontier with regard to FIOS services and the agent who assisted me told me it was available in my area in Tampa, FL. We scheduled an appointment for July 7, 2016 to install the services. The technician who arrived was pretty rude and told us that his company did not provide FIOS for this area. We did not know because the agent told us that it was available. He then told me that he could not help me and told me to cancel the new service so I did. I called and waited over 25 minutes just to cancel a order that was not filled and thank goodness I received a cancellation confirmation number. The rude technician sat in his van for about 30 minutes and during this time I was still on hold with Frontier. He said he could not cancel the "new" order and I had to call so I did.
Today, August 8, 2016, I received a bill for $177.71 for new installation, new services and all these charges that I NEVER received because I am still with Brighthouse. I called Frontier and the first agent told me that they installed new service and she saw the line was active. I explained to her that we never cancelled Brighthouse internet service so yes there is an active line. She was implying that we had service with Frontier. I hung up and dial again to speak to another agent that had common sense and notice that service was never used/started/utilized at this address. The second agent informed me that the refund will take until October 1, 2016 to resolve. The agent gave me another cancellation confirmation number for this transaction over the phone. This is unbelievable charging me for service that I never received and now I have to wait and monitor this account for three months to make sure these charges are cleared.
This is bad customer service and how did this company and technician billed for equipment that was never added to my account/home. I guess I will never leave Brighthouse because they are pretty honest and the technicians are reliable and professional. I hate that this type of problems occur today with so much means of communication.

I used to have Verizon Fios. Everything worked fine, paid bills on time, slept well at night. Now, Frontier bought out the Verizon Fios and the first week I am already stressing out because of their stupidity. Fios service didn't work for 11 days. If you are not running a business from home it would be hard for you to understand what I went through emotionally and mentally.
Now I am struggling again with them. One of their representatives shows up to my house, asks me to upgrade to faster Fios speed, so I did. I was promised there will be no termination fees since this is an upgrade and that the price will not change as long as I don't upgrade or downgrade again. Month past and my bill that should have been $55 is now $281 ($109 for Fios + $95 installation + $80 early termination). Now, I actually have to pay termination fee which they told me I wouldn't have to since it was an upgrade. They charged me installation fee. You might ask what did they install. Apparently what Verizon Fios installed three years ago, a white box in my garage. It took them a while but they acknowledged their mistake they dropped the installation fee.
Now, where am I right now. They told me to fax them the copy of an agreement I signed with their representative and wait for their call. Now I been waiting their call for almost a week. So far I made 7 calls to them which equals to 6 hours and 28 min wasted on either waiting or talking to them. If anyone of you have time and/or money we need to do the group lawsuit against Frontier Communications because they are not taking this seriously at all.
