    EVERY month after I review my bill from Frontier, I have to call Frontier. You constantly make billing mistakes! They are "suppose" to be corrected. Billing errors are never corrected or compounded with other mistakes. I pay corrected amount in a timely manner and the next bill shows NO corrections and I get late charges!!! I signed up with Frontier in August 2014 - I think I got 2 correct bills during this time.

    I received my Frontier modem August of 2014. The first day I try to set up the Internet, I was unable to. I tried switching the modem to different phone jacks and it still did not work. I then called customer service and explained that I am unable to set up the Internet by following the step-by-step instructions. He also went over me with the step by step instructions. I did everything he asked even by switching the modem. two different phone jacks, it still did not work. since the customer service was still unable to help me with the Internet, he transfer me to a specialist. If the specialist was still unable to help me they then informed me they would need to have a technician come out. They did not mention a fee or anything for that, I said that was fine. I had to wait 3 days until the technician came, so three days without internet so I was unable to take care of my business online.

    The lady came inside and told me that it was their fault. The internet did not work because she had forgotten to activate the phone line. She did not tell me about a fee for them coming over there to help with the Internet. A few months later, when my bill came around, it was $140. I didn't understand why the bill was so high when all I was paying for was 6 megabytes per second speed Internet. I've tried to talk to plenty of customer service and they're saying they submitted the paperwork saying I didn't know some of these fees and if I get accepted its good. If I get this right, I still have to pay money for things I didn't even use. They failed to tell me about the technician's fee coming to my house. I told them to take off the house phone from the Internet service but they still want me to pay for it and I don't even have a house phone or have I used it at all.

    The worst internet service... Worst customer service... Three weeks ago, I made the first call. Asked for the internet setup at my new apartment. A week later no body showed up on the scheduled setup day. I called the customer service, and they said the order somehow is cancelled. I placed another order, wait for another week. Again one day before the scheduled setup day, they called and said "we apologize, there is no port available at your location"... I really don't know what this companies does... Even service providers in 3rd world countries work better than Frontier... Their customer service is terrible... Awful... From now on, I will discourage everyone in Washington state to switch to them. I'm gonna be back with Comcast.

    Email will not work. Cannot login with correct password user ID using Thunderbird email client. When I contact Frontier they will not help me as I have Linux Ubuntu 14.04 as my OS. I am told they cannot talk to me due to operating system I use? I have been informed by a consumer affairs person who works for Frontier. They will not provide any help to Linux users also. To date I know of two others who have same email settings as I and both are running Linux Mint or Ubuntu with Thunderbird email client. I feel someone has blocked my email service as I can set up a friend's computer on my DSL box and his email account works. A clean install of Ubuntu with my settings will not work? So do you think my account been locked out?

    Everything the other raters put is 99% true, here in Nebraska. Net goes out for 4 hrs at a time. Same time every day. When I call service center it never solves the problem. Apparently I'm in a "high demand" area, which I know is a lie. I'm paying roughly $60/month, and it goes out 120+ hrs every month! Not worth it AT ALL! It's going to be 2016 and their internet is still the least reliable. I'd rather use a cup and string than this crap.

    WOW. I am 73 yrs old and in my lifetime, I have never had such a terrible experience with any company like Frontier. FOR YOUR SANITY, STAY FAR FAR AWAY. We decided to change providers from Charter to Frontier, made all the arrangements and was told on November 30th 2016 they would be here to set it up between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM. My wife had to cancel a doctor's appointment. And at 7:00 PM, I called and waited for 32 min and asked where was the serviceman. After a 6 min wait I was told they were not coming because they made a mistake with how the service was being set up.

    Asked for a supervisor, 19 more min waiting to talk to them. When he got on phone he basically said the same thing I already heard and when I asked him why I was never notified by the service people, he had no answer. And then he asked me if I wanted to cancel Frontier. At this point I canceled. After over an hour and 20 min I figured if they treat new customers this way, I can imagine what it would be like if needing any type of support. I decided to check and see other people's experiences, some were satisfied but mostly 1-3 stars. WHAT A NIGHTMARE, TRULY UNBELIEVABLE.

    So I have had Frontier for almost a year and only because they are the only ISP that comes out to where I live. So let me begin from the start. I signed up for internet only and they signed me up for both phone service and internet. After 3 months of paying almost 180 a month I called and got the phone service taken off. That was after I told the install tech to take it off and they didn't and waiting for almost a month for a tech to come and install it back in Dec.

    It is now Nov of 2015 Thanksgiving day and I have spent the majority of my morning on the phone with the most ignorant and inept tech support I have had to deal with. First time I called I was told they had to do a line check and the whole time the tech couldn't even get my name right and then when he was done doing the line check he hung up on me. The second time I needed to find out why the wifi wasn't connecting to my iPhone and I told them that 3 times during the call. Once the internet was working on my laptop. They wanted to try to access my laptop to try to figure out why it wasn't working on my phone. I told them they weren't getting the problem. I finally hung up and it worked itself out. I forgot to mention back in Dec when I got installed I waited 3 hours on hold one Saturday afternoon with them to figure out why no tech had come to install it.

    The service level offered by Frontier internet is by far the worse in the country. Do not even consider using their services in northern Michigan. What they are doing to customers here should be labeled as fraud to the consumer! My initial service level agreement for internet and phone services over 18 months ago was for a level of internet speeds to allow me to work remotely. I was happy with the 12mbps that I was paying for. September 2015, they decided this area was at capacity and took away the speeds I was paying for and never contacted me. So for several months I was paying for a higher internet speed package. I encountered a slow down to below 6mbps and after many unsuccessful poor customer service phone calls and site visits, I was just told the entire area is now capped at 3mbps.

    What kind of company does something like this and NOT notify their customers? This is an unacceptable level of service. However, Frontier knows that they have a lock on the service in this area and they can do whatever they want. So listen up potential customers -- DON'T USE FRONTIER SERVICES.

I would call or walk over to Frontier in the mall and be assured they would stop. Psh... no way. They just kept right on dinging my dead ggmother. Now after 6 months they cut it off and sent a bill for $223 which I paid just to get rid of them. Now I just got a quote "final bill" for $65. These people are scammers and disgusting!!!

I was told that I received a visa card and a Amazon Prime membership but was told by Amazon no order was ever filed with them. I had internet service for 21 days, at the price of 108.49. I only wanted to take over the service that was already on, because my mother was put in assisted living. Never received a visa card - only a early termination for Amazon Prime which I was never enrolled in by Frontier.

After five phone calls, 2 company missed install dates, I called back today to complain as to why no one's been out to install. The guy on phone was nice and told me he'd call dispatch and see what's going on. He came back on the line and proceeded to tell I haven't called in about three missed appts. And that they would be out on yet another date and that the company is sorry for any confusion. My advice to ya'll is don't call them. They are a big joke and have absolutely no clue what they're doing. Glad ya'll let me down before my first bill came in.

    We have been a Frontier customer for 13 years with no issues until the last year. All of the sudden we have basically no service and are disconnect all of the time. I have contacted them over and over again and have gotten no help. Their customer service is the worst. Our service is so slow, when they had me run a speed test, I had no speed. They have the proof and they admit it. They say there is nothing they can do because we are in a high demand area. We live in a very small town.

    I just can't imagine. It seems as though we are sharing our service with the neighbors. When they are on the internet, we get nothing. They advertise high speed internet. I would like to know where that is?? Reading other reviews all over the United States with the same issues, how are they getting away with this false advertisement? I am just basically giving them $40.00 a month because they are the only provider we have. We can't even load Norton for virus protection, read email, pay bills, etc. This is unacceptable service and someone needs to stop them from doing this. They are no better than the common crook!

    I just want to say that Frontier is on track to stop telemarketers by having a phone that doesn't work very often. Poor landline hookup for internet, lines with noise, service with (oh wait, there is no service) very poor connect speed - 24kbps this morning. Repair is spotty at best and 2-3 days to be completed, that after being on hold and waiting 3/4 of an hour to get the call completed. I guess we need a CEO that makes much more than $10mn to get good service. ConsumersAffairs - why do you have an email system that does not copy the sender?

    We had this service for years - poor internet and phone lines with static all the time. We recently moved and I cancelled service on September 11th. I received a billing showing I had a credit and when I called, was told two weeks I would have the check/refund. It is now over two months. Today a "supervisor" told me that it takes THREE MONTHS to refund my money. I am sure this is happening to many others as well.

    They sit on our money, make interest but don't pay us interest for holding onto our money! This company needs to be made to understand that they are ripping off people by holding their money. I am sorry I paid my bills on time with them. Should have never paid the last statement!!! Lesson Learned. Avoid this company at all costs! They lie to you to appease you then screw you by holding onto your money for months. I have filed a complaint with the attorney general today.

    This company has you pay for what they advertise as high speeds guaranty. Well we pay for one thing and only get a 1/3 of it. I have a home business and it makes it hard when the Internet is not working properly. In 2015 it should be a crime to not have adequate speeds in all areas and if Frontier is unable to provide proper Internet then they should allow other cable companies to come in and run their services. Why is it in some areas we are still living in the days of dial up. Wait my dial up in 1990 was actually faster than what I receive in 2015. Does this make any sense. I think if you are expected to pay for a certain amount of Internet then you should at least receive what you were told you would get.

    If you don't want to give them your ss number it can take up to 4 weeks to process a request, not 3-5 business days. I called customer service 2x and they could not assist.

I still had to send them a copy of my id's. Rethinking my decision, there is a thing called Melissa Data where you can verify owner of the property. Most frustrating experience ever. Still no phone call. Has been 3 business days when they said it would be 24 hours to return my call. PS. I have been living at the same address for 30 years.

    5 months ago I contacted technical support to complain about upload/download speeds. I paid for high speed internet service (at least 6 mbps) and the highest test over several weeks was 2.61. I was told that was "good" and that I lived in a highly congested area (rural with a small town hub). After discussing and escalating to see if an upgrade to capacity would be done, I was told that the company did not wish to invest in the area. So, my explanation was that not only myself, but many customers were paying for something they were not receiving in the way of service. I asked only as a temporary compromise to pay for the lesser speed rating of 3 mbps since that was all I was getting ($19.99) and we agreed NOT to reduce my speed rate as compensation.

    The next week, high speed internet was promoted at $19.99 for up 6 mbps (which has never been achieved). I felt like I was duped. I then emailed the manager who said I should check back (this morning 11/9/2015) and she was OOO. I attempted a chat session on their website and was "put on hold" waiting. After about 15 minutes, I closed the chat citing that's the kind of service I now expected from Frontier. Frustrated because there are no other alternatives for my area. I use the service for my work (IT professional) while on call and have to keep a Hotspot WiFi handy in case of slowness or unavailability.

    The original issue I had for calling them back in June was handled horribly. A service ticket was put in and I was told to be available on a Thursday afternoon for a tech to come to my house and take speed measurements. I worked from home that afternoon, no tech showed up, no one called or followed up. I called the Tech. Service Center to find that my ticket had been closed due to a known issue (the congestion I refer to earlier in this post). Nobody bothered to tell me. I feel like I was told "Tough, your little area is not worth investing time/money in". They sure seem to collect money every month... I've worked in IT for 33 years so I know what the investment is and the work required. Thanks, Frontier. I had to cancel Netflix because it would not stop buffering. I cannot use all my monitoring tools from home to effectively be on call for work in my home office.

I spoke with representatives in three different states trying to get the number really released. Now I have received my last bill containing a $200 discontinuation fee, never mentioned in any of these conversations, never alluded to in any bill I received, and certainly when I began the service I never signed such a contract! The business number on the bill is busy, the website gives no information on contractual terms and conditions of service, and I expect that they anticipate that $200 isn't worth the bother of my fighting for my rights.

    For a company with the word communication in their name they should be embarrassed. Communication: means of connection between people or places, in particular. No communication going on in this company at all. Worst company I have ever had to "communicate" with ever! You get off the phone and they have promised you everything will be straightened out and then nothing happens or they install your service onto the wrong address (in my case my neighbor).

The Directv installer showed and installed Directv. When I called to see where the Frontier installer was I was told he was on his way. He never showed. Then on October 26th I called and was at first informed technician was en route and would be here before 4:00 p.m. I called back after 4:00 p.m. And was then told there were no ports available.

    I know for a fact that at least one home had Internet hooked up after my scheduled install date. I will be calling the Attorney General, the Better Business Bureau and the County Commission to inform them of this and supply them with all emails concerning this. You state it is a "Third-party Vendor" who is working on behalf of Frontier.

She didn't. The second time I called the rep said the same, the refund was declined again and she didn't call either. The 3rd time I finally got a supervisor who coldly said it was my fault since I should have called months sooner to report the error.

    My name was spelled wrong, my address was put in wrong, and the supervisor insisted I never called to shut my service of my old address. The service is down a lot and they don't seem to care. I have two accounts (one in a business location), and the supervisor didn't care at all when I said I was canceling both. What does that tell you folks... they don't care about you! Dealing with Frontier is painful and should be avoided at all costs. Life is too short.

    Had numerous problems with constant disconnection, limited access and days without service at all. They gave me a date for repair and basically said that when it starts working that's when you know they was there. Called day they said it would be fixed and course it wasn't and their response was 3 days more out. They don't offer or even try make up difference of money for service you pay for and don't get. Been with them for years and absolutely fed up with their nonservice and big inconvenience and stress they have put on my family and me... example bad grades because child couldn't turn in school papers to me missing out on business!!!

    We installed a Satellite Service and the internet portion (separate) was provided by Frontier. We had problems from the beginning. The service started in mid-June of 2014. When I called on July 4th at 11:00 a.m. We were told our service had "dropped" over 500 times since July 1st. This was our experience for over a year -- constantly dropped, extremely slow when it was up. They told us on two separate occasions that "The area was oversold and this is the way it would be." The final straw was in Aug. 2015 when they told me I needed to "upgrade". On that particular day, they told us our service was dropping every 5 minutes. YES, I said minutes. If the service is oversold and they are "negotiating" with our area for more power, why would I upgrade and why are they still selling the service?!

    To get out of the contract was a nightmare. They didn't feel they owed us anything and what was being provided was fine. FINALLY, was released. They owe us $$ and now 2 months since we were released, we are waiting for our refund. When I called they indicated they wait 3 billing cycles before they do any refunds. DON'T GET INVOLVED WITH THEM!!! They are a nightmare.

    Because of the cost of having Frontier as our landline provider we found a less expensive service. I cancelled our service with Frontier the beginning of July (after the payment had already been deducted from my checking account). When I called the end of July (30th) about the money they owed me I was told that they couldn't issue a refund until the end of September or the beginning of October. I waited until the middle of October (16th), called to find out about the refund and was told that the refund had already been issued and I should be receiving it any day now. Today, October 20th, I called again and asked where the refund was. I was told at that time they couldn't talk to me because the account was in my husband's name.

    When I asked why I could talk to customer service in the past and now couldn't - they had no answer. When that customer service rep told me I was getting too irate, I was transferred to the supervisor who informed me that the check was issued on the 19th. I'm wondering if I had not called would we ever have gotten a refund check since I was told by this supervisor that the checks are issued 4-6 weeks after the last billing cycle. Customer service could use some work, accounting could use some help and, by all means, Frontier really needs an overhaul.

    I have been having issues with quality of service for internet and when I call to schedule an appointment I am told I cannot schedule a date in the future but have to take the next time slot available. I am an out of the area property owner and this make scheduling repair service impossible. It does not even give me enough time to try and schedule a family member to be on site. When asking if I can have a different time slot, I am told "no" that I have to take the next slot available and no other option. Such poor customer support.

    2nd issue: When I get someone on the phone re: plans to re-evaluate my plan options, 2x I have been switched to a more expensive plan. When I call to ask why, they agree it happened, but I can no longer go back to the plan I had since it is no longer offered. This is SO wrong. 3rd issue: The customer support staff is so poorly trained (nothing personal or trying to be rude). They frequently are unable to answer questions or resolve issues.

    Like many others on this site, I created an account strictly to warn others NOT to get Frontier. I was switched to Frontier when they bought out AT&T's Connecticut customers and was very unhappy with this switch. As soon as Frontier took over, our internet slowed down (could never load anything) and our tv was always disconnecting. These things I could overlook (never mind I was counting down the days until I could switch to another company), but whenever I contacted customer support via phone or chat, the representative was rude and clueless about my problem.

    Seriously, I think they give zero training to all staff members. They are incredibly sneaky about their business too. I called multiple times before canceling service and asked if I'd have any charges once my service was done and each rep. said that I wouldn't be charged. Wouldn't you know I get a bill sent in the mail SIX WEEKS after my service was turned off. I called to complain & ask if this was a mistake, but they told me that I was responsible for the payment and that "Frontier doesn't actually have contracts" (which they kept referring to my service as). I could go on and on... but my message is: don't get Frontier, even if it will save you money.

    I called Frontier 10/12/15 around 8 am to report an issue at a location where my company has their service. Keeping in mind I know it's Columbus Day but I was at work and I figured they would too. I spoke with a tech who told me that the issue would require ME to be on site which is well over an hour drive to resolve the issue. The issue could have been resolved remotely as he and I both had the static IP of the modem and all that needed to be done is change the account email and password tied to the equipment. But he insisted for me to be on site, so I hung up and I called back a few minutes later and got a customer service rep who placed a ticket for me and said she can see we have a "blinking DSL light", which she told me a tech would be out that day to fix.

    The end of my day comes around on Monday and no sign or word from Frontier. I called them before I left the office and was told that a tech would be out 10/13/15 in the morning. I shrugged it off 'til that morning. I waited 'til 2:30 pm 10/13/15 and called them and they told me by 5pm they would be out. The rep then told me that the tech will call me if he had any questions. A few minutes later the tech calls me and leaves a voicemail saying he won't be out until 10/14/15. I called him this morning and he told me he won't be, tech out and he doesn't know who will be or what time.

    I called Customer Service and told the rep this is ridiculous. We are a local company that is giving you business and you are treating us like these. We have their service at another site as well. I spoke with my manager and we are looking at more ISP solutions because I refuse to give them any more business. I did get an apology from the rep and I explained I know it is not his fault but his company as a whole is absolutely awful. I am furious with them, I cannot wait to change ISPs.

Only one time I requested their technical support because nobody in the technical support team has enough knowledge or clear understand to assist me as I guess because nobody mentioned there is need a wall jack for their service to establish first time when I asked even though I had to contact them several times same day.

    Moreover, I had to contact them time to time when I was experiencing slow internet. Then, only thing that they wanted to do upgrade my service plan. As they informed me they should have upgrade my internet speed twice. Last time, when my husband contact them, the customer care representative said that they upgraded our internet speed from 25 mbps to higher one which was 49 mbps for just adding $5.00 more into our account. But I checked my internet speed yesterday, and found that I still have the same speed internet, 24.21 mbps, and they have done nothing more than that. But I checked my monthly bill online, I was so surprised that it was $165.76.

    Even though I repeatedly requested that I cannot afford for more than $60.00 monthly bill. I canceled my home phone service today (10/13/15). Frontier cheated me and it is obvious that they have unfairly added unexplained and unknown expenses into my bill. I never recommend frontier for good internet and phone service.

I was told that one would call me back. 2 days later, a supervisor from Arizona called me back and after explaining all the particulars, she told me, "Internet service is not available in your area." We had another discussion about all the people in this area that have internet from Frontier and in the neighborhood and the answer was "Internet service is not available in your area" but we can call you when it is available.

Fast forward one month, I receive a bill for $439. I immediately call Frontier and they explain that there were charges that shouldn't have been billed, but were erroneously put on my statement. They assured me that it would be taken care of. Fast forward another couple weeks and I now have a bill of $179. I have been fighting with Frontier to eliminate the charges now for over a month and they have just sent a letter saying that they are going to put me into collections.

    So, I am the teenager of the house, and my parents both use the web frequently. I believe they are paying for the Simply Broadband Ultra through a bundle with phone service as well. Frontier's site advertises it as having "up to 12Mb/s," which already sounds pretty shady. I love playing online games through my computer and my dad like to play online on the xbox, and my mom browses through Pinterest/Facebook/email etc. There is no chance of any of us having decent internet speed if two or more people are on the internet at the same time. Simple sites like Facebook and Reddit take ages to load, YouTube takes 3 minutes of buffering to play 30 seconds of video, and my ping for online games usually hovers around 350-400ms, which is past the range of being unplayable.

    What Frontier does, is provide internet and phone and such, "mainly serving rural areas and smaller communities." (Which is a direct quote from their website.) What this translates to is Frontier buying poor quality lines and hiring techs who basically give you the roundabout for as long as possible. Frontier is currently the fastest internet provider in my area, and takes advantage of it by refusing to do anything to upgrade bandwidth and increase the load that the lines can handle within the parameters that they advertise.

    I can play my online games at 65-70 ping, as long as it's between 3am and 5am. The amount of traffic that Frontier is jamming into their lines is ridiculous, and they know it. Calls (which easily take upwards of 30 minutes of waiting to speak to a human) result in the assistant either blaming your computer, telling you that you have a faulty router and offering to schedule a tech to come out to replace it (which the appointments are never actually kept), or they just tell you that they are aware and won't do anything about it.

    The most unfortunate part is that Frontier KNOWS that they are doing this. They realize that they have a monopoly in rural areas and they know that they will keep their customers simply by being the only option. I am disgusted by their business practices and I keep hoping my parents will start paying them for the service we are actually getting, rather than the "perfect world" scenario.

    This is an excerpt from the fine print below internet offers: "Actual speeds may vary and are not guaranteed. Performance metrics based on Frontier lab validation under ideal network environment simulating 'best case scenario' without network congestion, other factors cause by consumer behavior, or factors caused by third-party providers behaviors.

    Frontier has documentably VIOLATED the terms of their own CONTRACT with me. Frontier forced an upgrade that crashed my internet connection, Desktop Computer, and all the devices attached to it. I lost everything I have. I was given no information on how the upgrade would occur, or that an event like this might happen.

    I only opted for the upgrade as recompense for Frontier's previously existing and documented repeated payment processing errors. I paid Frontier over $300 to satisfy a 91.86 bill. Frontier guarantees processing WITHIN 60 minutes. It took THEM over 2880 minutes, and 2 different top of the line Credit Cards, for Frontier to process my payments. They instantly tried to blame me, however it was obvious that the error was on their end both times. On top of that, I paid the balance in full and paid forward the next month's balance as a show of Good Faith.

    So after overpaying them for low quality service, Frontier CONDUCTED THEIR UPGRADE ON A DATE THAT WAS NOT THE SPECIFIED DATE IN OUR DOCUMENTED, VOICE RECORDED CONTRACT, and therefore Frontier HAS LEGALLY VOIDED THAT CONTRACT WITH ME. As a direct result of Frontier's egregious violations of their own terms, I have lost my entire livelihood, which is entirely dependent on a constant, stable internet connection.

    I have witnessed first hand, other providers running continuously for over a year without ever crashing. Frontier has hard-documented their own violation of our contract three times now. At this juncture, Frontier is now absolutely vulnerable to legal challenge. If I choose to pursue a lawsuit, Frontier will lose, and they know that they have decided to defer the inevitable consequences of their business malpractice by ordering me to wait by the phone indefinitely. They run a terrible business, so I recommend avoiding Frontier unless you like taking litigational actions to force a corrupted business to admit its plethora of contract violations. DO NOT SUPPORT FRONTIER.

    After another day of outage (10 hours) near Georgetown SC, I managed to get on my computer and a survey from Frontier Communications popped up on the screen after several minutes. It promised that I would win something worth "at least $70" that I could choose from a list. Not expecting much, I took the survey, giving them very honest middle-of-the-road scores due to the fact that I lose internet connectivity about every 12 weeks for a period of 4-16 hours, and I don't get anything close to the speed they advertise. But they're fairly cheap -- notice I said "fairly" cheap. I still pay $39.99 for not so stellar service. At the end of the survey the list of prizes popped up: the unheard of wrinkle creams and other junk which were "free", but had shipping charges up to $7.99. The joke was on me. Frontier Communication IS a joke.

    I wrote them this comment, which because I didn't purchase anything, was not registered: I don't want any of this junk. I certainly don't want to PAY to have it shipped to me. Your offer was deceitful at best. My rating of Frontier just went from Ho-Hum to Poor and I will make sure I tell ALL my friends and new neighbors. So guess what? You just lost lots of revenue. I, on the other hand, have only had to put up with your service being down 10 hours today. Lots of Luck!

    I contacted Frontier on numerous occasions in regards to an inability to get steady signal throughout my small apartment. I had moved from the other apartment in a 2 family home in December 2014. There was never a problem in that apartment. However, the problems began almost immediately upon the move. The router (the same router) was having difficulty connecting to devices (same devices) and if more than one connected, neither would have access.

    We tried everything, and everything they suggested. But still had these problems. We positioned the router in a central location so that all devices would have a straight shot (without walls) to it. But even with excellent signal strength, internet connectivity was still shoddy. There are multiple phone jacks throughout the apartment, however only 1 works. And before we cancelled landline service (due to an overwhelming amount of telemarketer phone calls that began the day a phone was plugged in) the voice connection was cracking. This suggests to me that there is a wiring problem with the only jack that works.

    I informed them of this; that this is most likely the cause of all issues. While the techs admitted that it, in fact, was most likely the problem, they would not send someone to fix it. I also informed them that I work on a farm, and that we use the exact same service with the exact same router, and there is no issue at the farm. In fact, I have excellent connectivity over 100 yards from the barn (which houses the router). I have multiple devices connected via wifi without issue. They tried to sell me a booster for the house. Why should I need a booster for my home when the devices are all within 25ft of the router with no walls in between? Bad service, bad customer service. Never again. Goodbye Frontier.

    Frontier customer service dept in Everett, WA, Spoke to a gal 6pm to reactivate internet service at a rental house I own. She said it would take 2-24 hours to have the service, but "it would probably be a lot sooner." Since bill was being sent to a frontier email account, which I don't have access to, I asked her to reset the password. When I try to reset it myself, it sends the temp password to the same frontier email account I have no access to. She transfer me to their tech dept, got the temp password and was reassured service was back on soon. About 2 hours later, called the same tech dept and was told they never got a go ahead from the customer service gal.

    Frontier has horrible service, constant dropouts and extremely slow speeds. I pay for 6 mbps and am rarely at that speed, it is usually 1 to 2 mbps. The kicker is that after three years of this nonsense, I decided to cancel my service. Well they informed me that I would be charged 200.00 for early cancellation, "Early cancellation? I fulfilled my contract two years ago." they then said that my contract auto renewed. This was done without any prior knowledge or notification on my part. My advice to anyone dealing with this company is to take screenshots of all interactions with them and file complaints with the FCC, Better Business Bureau and your State Attorney General's office. Also, this would be a great case for a class action lawsuit.

    I was in Dairy Queen for lunch in Cave Junction earlier today. There were 3 Frontier Communications in there having lunch. Needless to say they were talking about what's going on with Frontier's internet. Apparently they have oversold their service so that's why everyone is having connectivity issues lately. Going out for hours at a time and what not. They said that if you cancel the service right now they cannot add you again because they cannot add any more people to the overcrowded system as of now.

    Once I heard this I turned and said "so that's why our internet can't hold a signal for the last few months" and their faces went blank like "oh crap we need to watch what we say in public." Soooo if you are having problems with your service don't let them tell you for one second it's on your end. They know what's going on, they are just trying to wring every nickel they can out of the consumer all the while knowing each person added affects existing customers. Something to think about before you chose them.

    Each time I call Frontier to discuss ANY thing about my bill or service, they don't know what they're talking about, and pass me off onto someone else. Today was no different. Calls to Frontier are garbled and I can barely understand what the operators are saying. Eric had no idea what the specifics on the bill were and said the collections department knew, so I waited on hold and of course, collections had no idea what the items on each bill were, so they put me through to billing again.

    After another 10 minutes or so on hold, this Chris tells me that the items in question are taxes. Over half of the bill is taxes. Each month I get close to ripping the phone off the wall - I have a cell phone - but I can't hear it ring throughout the house. Yikes. I have fast, fiber internet yet their website takes eons to load!!! I need a new phone company! Taking over 30 minutes just to get on their bill pay site.

    I signed up for Frontier internet beginning on 8-31-15. When I spoke to the rep I was assured the price was 47.98 a month and there would be no service or connection fees, I would receive the device by UPS and install myself. Surprise #1 was when the servicemen showed up at my house unannounced. Surprise #2 was when I got the bill for $148.44, there were 9 fees attached plus a phone I did not even sign up for, in fact I made it very clear I did not want a phone line. After calling I was credited back $34.52 for the phone, all other charges held despite all reasoning, the rep just kept saying it's only for the first month. So after being promised no connection fee there was carrier cost recovery fee, road work recovery fee, central office connection charge, shipping charge, service order charge, federal tax and state tax totaling 21.90 (which is 15% tax) and other charges.

    So it starts with AT&T switching with Frontier in CT. I move and set up a landline after having a bad experience with Comcast. The landline was good, no problems, so I set up internet which was the worst decision of my life. So I got the slowest speed. The internet was so slow that Netzero from the 90's way faster compared to it. I had to pay a tech to install it. The tech says that if it's too slow I can have the 20 mbs with no tech visit. So I call Twice to have the speed up to 20 mbs. The first time the customer service rep says I will have 20 mbs in 3 days. 3 days later no 20 mbs. The second time I call he informs me that a tech is coming out in a week. This is when the problems start.

    The tech comes out, installs a second phone line and lies by saying I get 60 mbs, all I have to do is call and ask. I try the 20 mbs. It's still slower than netzero from the 90's. So I called 3 times. On the first time they lied and said in 3 day I will get 60 mbs. 3 days later no 60 mbs. The second time I ask for 60 mbs they said they will send a tech out to get the 60 mbs. The tech cancels so I called a third time. The customer service rep informs me that the tech canceled and he will send out a second one. I ask to speak with his supervisor. His supervisor thought it was funny to verbally abuse me.

    After that I called headquarters and to have the internet canceled. It took 2 weeks, 5 phone calls, to have the internet canceled. They canceled everything and on the fourth call I just had the landline reinstalled. Then I was told by a friend, "Don't fall for the modem trick." The modem trick is to say, "You can do whatever you want with the modem, we won’t charge you," when they will. So I asked for the mailer to return the modem. Then send the mailer after telling me the modem trick.

    Meanwhile HR calls me to talk about my experience. I told them everything that happened and they said I will receive a credit and that supervisor will be dealt with. After dealing with Frontier I switch to 2014's worst company in America, Comcast but I still have a credit with Frontier. After 2 phone calls no check. So do yourself a favor, chose Comcast or else.

    On Friday, September 6th, I called Frontier customer service that I was moving on that day to a new address. They created a service order and told me that it would be completed on Sept 8th. Then on Sept 8th, nobody came to the new address and we did not have internet service at the new address. Then on Sept 9th morning, I checked online and the service order was marked "complete". So, I called the customer service again, and the lady told me that the service transfer order was completed remotely. There was no need to come to my new address. Looks like on their end, internet should be working properly, so now this becomes a troubleshooting problem and there is nothing can be done by the customer service.

    She connected me with a tech support and set up a troubleshooting ticket. Told me someone should come to my new address on Sept 11 to do the troubleshooting. Then on Sept 10 afternoon, the person who supposed to come to my address to do troubleshooting the next day called me and said the original transfer service order should not be marked as "complete". He would help me to set up a service order again and somebody should come to complete the service order the next morning.

    Then on Sept 11 morning, again, nothing happened. So I started to use their online chatting so that I can have some evidence. First I chatted with a tech support staff and the end result was, he transferring me to a customer service staff, then I ran out of time waiting and had to cut the chat. When I came back, I initiated chatting with a customer service staff and insisted that he does not transfer me tech support. After a long wait, he told me that the earliest they could come to my new address is Sept 16th. So now I have to wait another 5 days. The question I want to ask Frontier are: 1. Why is the service order marked "complete" when there is no site evidence showing that it's completed? 2. Any coordination between customer service and tech support team to prevent issues being kicked around?

We have called Frontier several times and they schedule a service call for a upgrade but they always call right before the appointment advising they do not have enough equipment at their central office or more recently we are too far from the CO (2.5 miles). They laid fiber optic two years ago but they have no idea when it will be turned up. Our download speed is 2241 KBPS and upload is 262 KBPS.

I informed the customer service person there is no jack and I needed one installed, no one ever asked me if there was a jack. There is a jack in the kitchen with the wire hanging out of the jack along the wall so it is useless.

She called dispatch and informed me a tech would be here on Thursday 9/3/15 between 8am and 5pm for me to plan on being home, so I was here on 9/4/15 at 2:39.

I was told I am on the schedule for, be patient. Call got lost while customer service was checking with dispatch. 11:25, I did not get a call so I called back again, assured me all is good with my appt for today, awwwww!

He transferred the call to a supervisor named Dre who seemed to care less, refused to clarify my appt time with dispatch. Just wanted an approximation - I have things to do, I just moved in. He did give me an 25.00 credit after telling me I'm not Frontier's only customer who may have had their appt changed, this I am aware.

    I began attempting to contact Frontier on Friday morning, September 4, to report that my elderly father's telephone service was out. No dial tone and he could not receive calls nor call out. I provided my work telephone number and my cell phone number, and was told it would be attended to and that I could expect a return phone call to advise me when service was anticipated. Never heard anything! After returning home from work on Friday, my husband and I both placed calls to Frontier's "service" number. Our home phone and 2 cells phones were on speaker to obtain the first response and to again report that the outage had not been addressed. After ten minutes of wait time, the calls on our cell phones were disconnected. I eventually spoke with someone on the home phone, but was put on hold and eventually cut off.

    I connected with Tina at 9:00 p.m. on Friday who indicated that the order would be escalated because he is elderly, has no cell phone, cannot drive, and has a medical alert device through his phone system. In other words, it was emphasized that he is helpless and isolated without phone service. Tina assured me that our worries were over. When I checked the order status online as suggested about 2 hours later, I saw that the repair was scheduled for Thursday, September 10. On Saturday afternoon, after no contact and no services, I was connected with Claudia from Connecticut, who indicated she could not locate a repair order, but after over half an hour wait time, and Claudia consulting with management, she assured me that the order was created and escalated. She was rather pleased with herself for escalating our repair order.

    I checked the Order Status online to see the new date for service following the escalation, and saw that it was scheduled for Thursday, September 10. The last person I spoke with on Saturday indicated that nothing could be done prior to Thursday. When I thanked her and suggested that we would fix it ourselves, she said "okay, well you have a nice weekend then." Fuming, I posted my disgust and frustration online and received a response from David and then Lauren, who indicated that the order would be escalated. It was escalated to Thursday, September 10. The fact remains that it is impossible to speak with someone and be assured of any type of service. There must be some emergency service in effect for an isolated elderly person. Instead, there is no concern and no service at all. Frontier Communications fails miserably and does not understand the definition of communications or service either one.

    This elderly gentlemen served his Country and received a purple heart, and was employed with the government for over 21 years, and cannot understand why no one can help him. We know he will be fully charged for services on his next telephone bill regardless of the fact that he has had no telephone service. And, further, should he not pay his bill on time or at all, he would be slapped with a late fee and a threat! Not to worry, he will pay because that is how it should be. It is truly sad to be at the mercy of such a careless, inept and inefficient company.

    I've had Frontier for year only because they are the only service provider in my area. I pay 40 a month for high speed and 7 a month for the hotspot. We can't watch videos, load emails or Facebook... NOTHING! They take advantage because they know in my area it's them or nothing. Every time I call about our Internet they tell me that they are currently adding more servers in my area and it will improve soon. They've been saying that for 4 years now! It seems to me there should be a class action lawsuit against them for charging customers for high speed Internet knowing they aren't receiving it. I even asked the last guy I talked to "So I'm just getting charged for high speed even though I can't get it?" He laughed and said "Basically!!!"

    Ordered phone service from Frontier Communications. Customer service was great. Landline was on a day later. We are just moving in to our new home. We set up our phone yesterday. Early this morning the phone rings. It's someone selling home security! I ask them to remove our number from their call list. Well that was just the beginning. Our phone keeps ringing non-stop even now as I type. One caller who I demanded to know where she got this new number told me Frontier Communications gave it to them! I am beyond livid! We cannot even enjoy the use of a landline in our home. The constant soliciting calls rob us of enjoying the privacy of our own home. I am so angry. The do not call list does not work.

    I have been a customer with Frontier internet DSL for 4 years and their phone service since 2010 when they purchased Verizon. I have had ongoing issues with the internet service for the entire 4 years. The most recent experience is from an employee that claims he is a general manager here in Michigan named Kurt ** who called me and left a message.

    When I did not answer, where he then gave me a cell phone number to reach him, I sent him a text that read, "Hello Kurt. Sorry I missed your call, I was in a meeting with a group of retailers. I do look forward to speaking with you in the very near future. Carl **" He responded with a text back to me that read, "If you are too busy to answer my call I am not sure that I am interested in speaking with you in the future." Frontier needs a lesson in customer service and definitely does not deserve to be in a position to own the internet business in areas that have little to no other options.

    My landline needs service. I called over a week ago and got a trouble ticket for the 21st. Today is the 21st. My neighbor said she saw the Frontier truck drive down the road. Perhaps he went to a junction box, or perhaps he was lazy and decided he didn't want to fix my landline. The phone is unusable. Crackles, buzzes, and will not call out. Calls coming in are not understandable. I called twice today about my trouble ticket. The first time the girl said it was still open. The second time the girl said it was closed and the repair completed. She apologized and gave me a new trouble ticket for 7 days from now.

    So I will be without landline service for about 14 days total, and you know I will never be credited any of that lost service. I believe that repairman made no attempt to fix my phone line. There is no difference in the buzzing. In fact it might be worse. Perhaps it's time go visit the Verizon store and see if they want to take over my phone service. What a poor company Frontier is. When Verizon owned these landlines they would fix trouble in two days tops. I've not had good service or call clarity since Frontier took over.

Not to mention they keep having mess ups in their systems and they won't take the blame.

    I moved my daughter into college yesterday 3 hours from home. I was told by her coach that Frontier did the internet/wifi and Mediacom did cable. I called Mediacom first and set up the appointment to install on the 24th. I then called Frontier and explained this was for 2 college students who wish to use their laptops, watch Netflix and use their phones on wifi. He comes back and quotes for both internet and cable. I said, "No, just internet," so then he quotes a high streaming gaming package for $89.99. I told him, "No, I know it's cheaper than that," and was told finally $49.99.

    Then he says he needs to make sure I am able to get it without a deposit so I give him my info and a few minutes later he tells me I'd have to pay my back balance of $178 PLUS a $56 deposit. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCOUNT THERE. I told him I didn't have an account and that he had already verified my info and knew I had not. He said it's attached to the apartment and the only way to get internet there is pay the balance or let them call me in a few days to get more info so they can investigate to see if I am liable!! WHAT?! I told him, "Forget it, these girls cannot wait," and that I am not paying someone else's bill. I called Mediacom back and got it added, no problem.

    I hate Comcast. I utterly detest them. But you know what? God help me, I might be switching back to them. That's how bad my experience with Frontier has been.

    So, for a year, my housemate and I have been experiencing two to three minute disconnects every other day or so, sometimes multiple times a day. That's borderline unacceptable, but it's only for a couple minutes, and as annoying as it is, the service is cheaper than Comcast and, well, it's not Comcast. Mixed with billing errors and poor communication and generally poor customer service, we've been on the fence about jumping ship, but it hasn't happened yet. That may have just changed. 24 hours ago, our internet stopped working entirely. My housemate got on the phone with tech support.

    To say the agent was less than helpful is an understatement. It took them a solid hour to work through really basic things (turning the modem off and back on again, rebooting it from their end, etc.), partially because the agent kept using company jargon that meant basically nothing to us - and we're both pretty tech-savvy people - in combination with vague descriptions and instructions. The other part of the delay stemmed from the agent putting her on hold for long periods of time, just to tell her that they couldn't even figure out where our service was supposed to be connected. Eventually, an hour into the call, they had the idea to look at the service in the area. Unsurprisingly, there was an outage on their end. Why it took an hour to check this, I have no idea.

    Anyway, that accomplished nothing. My housemate called them several more times to no avail. Often they would accidentally(?) hang up on her. Many times they still didn't know about the outage, because apparently outages aren't noted somewhere central where agents can see. Brilliant. After several disconnected calls and several circle runs, my housemate finally got them to agree to send out a tech to check the problem... two days from now. 72 hours after the outage started.

    This is 2015, not 2005. Many people, myself included, work remotely from home. A 72-hour outage for no explicable reason in good weather is nowhere even near the realm of acceptable. Guess it's time to go back to the abuses of Comcast - because at least Comcast is relatively stable when it comes to service.

Also, the worst part is that I tried calling Frontier about the problem and I literally got cut off by them and when I called all the providers out there it took them about 10 seconds to get me on the line.

    Frontier came into my town (Trumbull, CT) because they bought the lines that AT&T had previously owned. I was happy with AT&T and was very wary of them coming in and the service being different. That's exactly what happened. The on demand service that AT&T had was the best I had used so far. I've had Optimum and Charter in the past and didn't care for either compared to AT&T. Everything was easy to find and the price of AT&T was decent. The speeds were not as fast as the competition, but I'm not running a server. We have 2 smart phones, a PS3 that we use for streaming services, an iPad and a desktop computer at our home and have never had problems with the 20MB speeds. We had the triple play deal for around $120 with taxes and HBO and Cinemax for free. When Frontier came in it was in the middle of that deal. When the deal ended, the prices became very steep and continued to rise despite me not changing the plan.

    This past bill there was a $20 difference from the month before. In the past and with other companies (Charter and Optimum) if I called asked about the price and if they could do anything better than what I was paying they would give me whatever offer they were doing for new customers. Frontier doesn't do that. To me, if you want to keep a happy and paying customer you would give them whatever your best deal is to stay and not go to another company. But that's how Frontier operates. With my only other choice being Charter I decided to get rid of the TV service and stick with internet and VoIP. If there were more choices where I lived, we would probably go with something else.

    We've been a customer of Frontier for 15 years since they're the only game in town. Recently moved within Elk Grove and for some unknown reason our internet will not stay connected. Each time it goes out we spend up to an hour on the phone with tech (non)support and when they can't fix it, it takes 4 to 5 days to get a repairman out to the house. This last time we were down for 5 days. The repairman came and fixed it, and in less than one hour it was out again. Had to wait another 4 days for him to come back. The absolute worst is when Frontier calls you with a promo. They hire outside salespeople who will lie to you. We were offered a "free" upgrade that ultimately cost $300 and took six months to get our money back. This company can only stay in business when they have a monopoly in your area and you have no other choice.

    I have been a customer of Frontier (formally CTCO) for 30 years. Over the past two years I have had numerous problems with my DSL service. I would estimate I have called them 40 time in the past two years. At first they said it was a problem with the house wiring until I disconnected the house wiring at their junction box. Next it was the modem that has been replaced at least 3 times. Then they discovered that I had been paying for the higher speed DSL but had been receiving the lower speed service. I would run the speed test and then call and complain. They finally got to a point where there is an appointment for someone to come to the house but an recorder call come that day and says it's been canceled but they will call to reschedule. The reschedule call never comes. It happened at least 3 times.

    For the past two years I have heard that I am in an area of HIGH DEMAND but they were upgrading their equipment. I have been placed on hold numerous times for an hour at a time until I finally hang up and I have been disconnected numerous times as well. The next two times I called I was told they couldn't fill out a ticket for service as I was in an area of HIGH DEMAND but they filled out a ticket to have the General Manager call me and explain how they were going to resolve the problem. Guess what? After 2 weeks and no calls I called back again. I called customer service and explained there is nothing wrong with my equipment but I am in an area of HIGH DEMAND (<300 people in town). So their answer was to send me to tech support who then sent me back to customer service.

    I explained that if they can't fix it this time I am moving my phone and internet service to Beaver Valley Cable. Their answer is that they have escalated it and are going to send out a tech. I suspect they are throttling my bandwidth as after I call and complain the speed goes up for a week or so and the trickles down. I got the 3 Gig package but have never seen more than 2 on a good day. Usually it runs .5 - .75 Meg but I have seen it less than .3 megs. This is not an occasional issue as I could live with that but it's every night. They can use the excuse that it's line loss as I live about 600 feet from the central office.The bottom line is they are advertising and selling a service and can't even come close to delivering that speed. After two years of hearing we are upgrading soon I don't believe there is any plans to upgrade. I would think twice about purchasing service from Frontier, just do a search on Frontier Communication Complaints.

    I was without Internet service for one full month because Frontier lacks the knowledge about how to run an Internet business and obviously does not care about their consumers!!! My Frontier Internet completely stopped working and over and over, each new tech would ignore me and order a new repair service date. Each time I waited at home for days, then they wouldn't show up or even call. Finally after a month, a repairman came to my home and told me EXACTLY what I had been trying to tell their "REPAIR TECHNICIANS." He said that if a problem occurred with one hub then I should be automatically switched to a different hub without any lapse of connection to my service.

    For 12 or more years I had belonged to a very small company and never had an issue like this! SO WHY IS FRONTIER UNABLE TO DO WHAT A SMALL COMPANY, IS ABLE TO DO?? The minor issue I did have was corrected within minutes after a repairman FINALLY CAME TO MY HOME! People need to know about the poor service "FRONTIER Internet" provides. And I was only one of MANY in my area with this month long (or more) outage. I cannot believe that a company as big as Frontier would allow a customer to be without Internet service for more than a day, no matter what it takes. It is 2015 Frontier!

    With this connection it is impossible for more than one person to be able to do anything. We pay $77-ish a month and we only get 1.25 Mbps download speed at best. The upload speed is lucky to even get past .25 Mbps. Overall we are very dissatisfied with this ISP and are switching to TWC. Hopefully they are a better provider and will give us what we pay for.

    So I've been going back and forth with this company for over 2 months now, not many internet companies in my area. I called for everything to be set up for install. The day before of the install they canceled on me, telling me no more ports in my area. This company is based out of my town Mendota, IL so thought that was kind of strange. I had to switch to satellite internet if I wanted anything through them, so I did. I Waited a month for the tech to come install, I was waiting all day, nobody shows so I call them. They tell me there are ports available in my area now so would be better to go with DSL instead of satellite, which was fine, that's all I wanted in the first place. Customer service lady gets everything squared away.

    I waited for modem to show up. I installed everything, couldn't get internet to work, so called tech support. Then they tell me there are no ports available in my town again and they can't provide service. Also my order was never closed, which was a lie because I saw on an order status that it was completed, are ready for Friday. Today is Monday. They said my modem won't come either. Which is a lie, have the modem in front of me. This company must not like new customer and won't even try to help you out to get their services.

    We were quoted free setup and reduced great rate when we signed up. Received first bill was charged for set up no reduced rate. Took months to settle. Waited for half hour many times to get through just to get sent to wrong department, hung up on, disconnected. Told by one agent that we were lying about what we were offered. After speaking with many others finally got some money reimbursed.

    Then internet service froze on and off and terrible reception on phone. Set up appointments for technical support to come out. 4 times they would either not show or call at 5 pm stating they were too busy to make it. I took time off work each time to wait for them. I called and again put on hold. Waited so long, had to hang up. They only offered 25 dollars for my troubles. I'm at a loss as we cannot find another company to service this area.

    I am so glad I didn't end up stuck with this company, luckily because of their own stupid errors! They sent a promotion to me via mail if you bundled service you got a $200 Visa gift card. So on 6/30/15 I spoke to Derrick, he verified that service is available at my area so I chose to do Television & Internet. They set up an appointment for 7/11/15 from 8 am-noon. My roommate stayed home from work to wait for the installer, and 10:45 am rolls around, and I called on my break to just confirm they will be there by noon. I spoke to this representative who confirmed that yes, they will be coming but might be before 4 pm, and that my gift card was processed and shipping shortly.

    So 4 pm rolls around, and still not one call, and no installer shows up. I called at 4:06 pm and spoke to Jim, and he told me that on 7/8/15, they noted the account that they don't provide television in my area, but NOT ONE PERSON contacted me. So here I was, paid my deposit, and waited almost two weeks for someone to come install my services, and no one did. Long story short, everyone I spoke to told me something else and then I was told due to their error, I'm not getting my gift card now because I didn't bundle services (which I did). So I decided to cancel services.

    Worst place ever! I should have known why their prices are so cheap. Will NEVER do business with them again, and actually am working with the BBB currently as well. They had no problem taking a deposit for services, but decided just not to show up, contact me or anything and then tell me a bunch of lies. Told me it would take 3 weeks to get my deposit back as well for their mistakes and errors. Will continue to write bad reviews until this issue is resolved. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place! They will rip you off too. :(

    I am the teen in a house with two tech illiterate parents. I am fully aware of the average speed an American has (15-25Mb/s). Frontier sells you 6Mb/s (up to, and by that they mean it'll be below 4 all the time). They constantly have service problems. The ping in my games (I am an avid PC gamer and I really enjoy online gaming, where a smooth connection is essential.) is literally unplayable. The wifi in the house is complete trash, the modem must be reset more times than it ever should be. The price I believe my parents pay is 30$ a month (not including taxes) for "up to" 6Mb/s. I almost never get the actual 6Mb/s. I have been without the normal speed internet for about 4 or 5 days, and I am at about half normal speed to 2Mb/s, making video game playing unbearable and watching YouTube impossible and even browsing light sites like reddit is a painfully slow experience.

    Please I am begging anybody who is reading this review, if you value even halfway decent internet, Frontier shouldn't even be an option for you. Throw any notion of them being your Internet Service Provider out the window. At least Comcast will deliver speeds that belong in this decade, and Time Warner is a very good option. Frontier is literally the worst ISP in the North East.

    So, to recap. Video games are nigh unplayable, videos are buffering at the lowest quality, all websites are hard to load. Honestly at this point there is almost no point to having internet. And worst of all? My mom is stuck in a contract with these ** suckers so moving to Time Warner is out of the question. I will attach a picture from Ookla.com, the website most people use for internet speed tests. This is the average speed I am getting in the Webster area of New York. Obviously this could change depending on where you are, but this is a good bet this is what you will get in an upper-middle class suburb. Incredible.

    I have had nonstop problems with Frontier ever since I got it and it costs more than average internet and performs at less than average with an upload speed of about .7, where most internet should have somewhere between 2-8 and also works more consistently than Frontier. I am a freshman in college back home for the summer and always knew my internet was under par but recently realized while spending time at my friend's apartment how absolutely horrible it was. Being home for the summer I have already encountered multiple problems with it and the worst part is I live in such a rural area that Frontier is the only offered internet service so there isn't much of a choice.

    Well, I also have issues with Frontier communications. Last week I called about an issue with my phone line having static which does happen. After talking to the customer representative, she said she could lower my bill, and update my internet speed from 1bph to 6.9bph. Well I said go ahead sounds good. After a week later my internet speed still has not increased as told it would. Call the representative again. After a while on the phone I was told that my area is too full to upgrade but was on the list for update, whenever that will be.

    Even went online and it shows my area could get 6bph of speed - what a lie that is. But I could get their satellite service which is faster, but this would of course increase my monthly bill, which I'm trying to decrease being retired. Then they have the nerve to try and sell me their version of an anti-spyware, which I did say no. So their advertising for the area code of 46391 is a big fat lie, and false advertising to me. Really have to think this one out, and may go with another company for my internet. Really don't need a phone anymore with cell phones.

    Frontier communications tripled the cost of my business and poor (1mbps download and 750KB upload) internet service because I do not know the pin number they created for the account that I did not create. Without the PIN they will do nothing and they refused to connect me with a supervisor. And the person on the phone claimed they have the same power as the president of Frontier Communications and refused to disconnect the lines (ISP and phone used for FAX), which I have torn out of my house. I will never use a land line again nor will I ever use DSL again, so there is no need for any hard wiring in my house.

    I will cut off the rest of the line at the box and send it to them. But in the meantime, they refuse to cancel the service even though I'm not using it. It is interesting that the president of the company is working in a call center, but that is what I was told. And I was told that I could not disconnect without the PIN that they created and never gave to me.

    I recommend that everyone leave Frontier as fast as you can and switch to VOIP through a provider that provides good service through an ISP that charges reasonable speed and rates. My Frontier bill was for $140.00 for fax line and ISP DSL at 1 mbps download and 750 kbps upload and I'm paying $60 per month to WAVE Broadband for 110 mbps download and 100 mbps upload. This is why Frontier refuses to disconnect the line. Maybe they will after I remove all the wiring and send it to them along with a certified mail return receipt requested to terminate the "service" as of today when I requested it to be terminated and they refused to do so. I should simply be able to call up and have them disconnect but I guess while the president of the company is working at the call center, this will be impossible.

I called Frontier customer service about this issue and was informed of a lower rate for service available to me. I specifically asked if there were any additional charges either upfront or upon termination that would apply if I accepted this offer. I was told "NO." I agreed to change my service to the lower rate.

    4 months later I decided to eliminate my home phone and disconnect my service from Frontier and I receive a bill the following month for a $100 termination fee which when I called was told I HAD AGREED TO!!

    I requested my home phone and DSL be transferred to my new home. Customer service said there would be no problem, they have been at that new home recently and all was good. They warned service might be out for part of the day after service at the old home was shut off and then the new home service was turned on, which was acceptable and reasonable. They also said they would not need to enter the new home, but that the tech would probably come to the outside of the home to test the line. No problem with me.

    Late afternoon on moving day, I checked a few phone jacks upstairs and downstairs at the new home - no line. So I called (using my cell phone, which does not get good reception at the new home) standing in the front yard where the phone works best. Customer service first asked if I tested ALL of the jacks (I said I tried all that I could find - it WAS moving day, boxes everywhere!) so she said she'd run a line test. A few minutes later - yep, there was a problem outside the house and they would have to send a tech. This was on Thursday - the tech would not come until the following Tuesday. That means no home phone, no internet (which is needed to go online and change my address everywhere), and crappy cell service because I can't use my micro-cell to boost the AT&T phone. Also, no security system which needs internet and no DirecTV extras like Netflix streaming, HULU, etc.

    Not having internet is more of a major issue these days, not to mention no phone (what if I am needed for an emergency for my dad who lives alone?). It should be considered highest priority - a lazy approach to service is totally irresponsible and not acceptable. We consumers need more choices for internet and phone. Comcast is the only other option for me, and they are extremely expensive because they are a monopoly for cable in my area. I can guarantee that where there is a better choice, I am leaving Frontier.

I came home after work one day and found a 4-foot path going the length and width of my yard dug up with a trench and wheel mud tracks that destroyed my lawn. (It had been raining for several days and ground was obviously very wet.) It continued through my garden where multiple flowers and bushes had been driven over, crushed and had the trench dug through it. Multiple paving stones were also broken with tread marks on them. When looking at the new trench dug into the ground I found that my neighbor had gotten a line installed to their house. The installation crew brought their equipment and drove around digging up my property and destroying my lawn and garden to install another's line. No notice, warning, permission for coming on my private property was given by Frontier.

    I attempted to call both the local and main customer service lines but was left stranded every time. After explaining my situation I was told I'd be forwarded to a customer service line where I was left on hold for over 45 mins in which I gave up waiting on them. This happened on 4 occasions over the course of 2 days during business hours. A company that conducts themselves like this is unacceptable and unethical. They came on my private property and caused several hundred dollars of damage destroying my lawn and garden areas and can't even answer their phone. They only will talk to you to take your money, once you have an issue they want nothing to do with you based on what I've seen.

After speaking with him for a few minutes, I found out that he did not even want to be at my house. He was very grumpy and I explained that the appointment wasn't supposed to be until Wednesday and he flat out said and I quote, "Well, I can leave."

    Frontier raised my rates as soon as they took over from AT&T. When I called they told me they would give me a better package at a lower rate. What they didn't tell me was this was only for three months. When I called again they told me they would give me another package deal but $10/month more. After these three months, you guessed it, rates up another $20/month. At this call I was told no more packages. I told them I was going to find another provider and was told when I took the first package they locked me in for two years! I didn't sign anything but they claim what they did was legal. What it was is downright crooked in my opinion.

    I have been a customer for over 10 years. As times have changed I had DSL service installed to replace my phone line. This year I decided to check on a service upgrade to home (After a relative moved to the area, set up her DSL service with Frontier at the premium $ package available.) I ran a test on her DSL over 10 mbps. "Great" I thought. Called to get my service updated to a higher rate. My up to 6 MBPS really 1.53 mbps on a good day. Isn't what I hoped to stay with... NOT AVAILABLE IN MY AREA. Really, I am on the other side of town and can't get service equal to my cousin. Not Happy.

    When we purchased the residence in 1976, the telephone panel and wiring were in place and working for the previous owner. I added 3 phones - one in the garage, one in the second bedroom and a third in another bedroom we converted to a computer room. The added phones worked properly until a day last week when those that I had added failed to operate. I immediately called the Frontier Service department and was given a tracking number to keep tabs on the repair service. In addition I was promised a technician the following day. There was no discussion of a charge of any kind. The following day I received a call from the technician scheduler who asked if they could come the next day due to a serious work overload. When I agreed, I made a point of asking the technician to call first, we have a very ill lady in the residence. Again no one at Frontier brought up a charge.

    Without making the requested call, the technician showed at the door. I told him which lines were dead, and directed him to the telephone service entry which I had enclosed in a lockable vault to prevent criminal interruption of the service. I completed dressing and returned to the front door, just as the technician came up. The nameless, uncarded technician told me that one of the two lines in the Frontier service box had a "short" somewhere in the house. He even qualified the type of short as a "hard" short, where wires were touching, or there "... was water touching the wires..." I asked him if he does the type of work needed to restore the order, and he only said there would be charges if he did that type of work inside the house. The technician did not offer me anything to sign, nor did he advise me there would be a "Tech Isolation 1st hour" charge.

    Summing it up: no employee, or representative of Frontier Communications told me there would be a "Tech Isolation 1st Hour charge." No Frontier employee or representative advised me there would be a charge, nor did they ask for my consent to do any work. The technician who came to my home was at my front door twice within 11 minutes which represents the entire time he was involved with the work. But under OTHER SERVICE CHARGES AND CREDITS in my current billing there are Carrier Cost Recovery Surcharge, Frontier road Work Recovery Surcharge, and Tech Isolation 1st Hour totaling to $87.74. None of which I was advised would be generated by the tech's visit, nor was there any dollar figure given to me for the visit. Simply, I am being charged for something not discussed with me for my agreement/approval or knowledge.

    The final chapter of my Frontier “experience” was written today (July 10). Remember: The original phone lines were operating, and it was only those that I added 18 years ago that had gone dead. Like any reasonable person, I had decided to check every connection and piece of equipment on the deadlines – maybe the fax or answering machine had a problem, causing the “hard short”. I called Frontier’s Customer Service Thursday and requested that a technician come and reconnect the wires disconnected - without my knowledge or consent.

    Today, the phones were working when I made and received several calls today between 6:30 AM and the time I left – 12:15 PM to meet a client. While I was away at a client’s job site, a technician came and reconnected the wires that supply the three non-working outlets. I called my wife several times over a two-hour period and got a busy signal. On returning home, I found that all telephone service in my home - after the technician had reconnected the wires - is dead.

    I called Customer Service. After speaking with a “customer server” I called a few people and firms I deal with, who I know use wireless communications, and asked for their recommendation and experience. Not one of the calls resulted in a Frontier recommendation. I’m joining several of my nearby neighbors and going strictly cellular.

    I wish I had read the reviews before I cancelled my Comcast service & contacted Frontier. My reason for cancelling Comcast after 20+ years was that the expense was out of control & Frontier lured me with ads that offered much lower costs. Even if those promises turn out accurate, the problems I've had with this company far outweigh any campaign promises they've made. I've been dealing with them for over a month &, even with appointments that they've never showed for, no internet service has appeared. After numerous phone calls over this time, I've been given 3 different account numbers; been told its either "already set up" or been "cancelled"; shipped 2 routers; had 3 separate appointments set; been told they could hook it up from the outside without me or vice versa; billed for a service I don't have yet at twice the rate I was told it would be; and promised it was all taken care of.

    It has been obvious that this is clearly a right hand, left hand scenario. I've never experienced such a level of poor communication in a company ever! If it wasn't for the stress I'm experiencing from the loss of time from my job, the misleading promises, & time dealing on the phone, I'd find it ironic that Frontier refers to themselves as a "communications" service! I've never felt the need to write or read a review in the past, but I wish I had read the reviews on this site sooner. I would never had gotten this involved with Frontier, but now I've got to untangle myself from this nightmare which seems to be nowhere in sight. I hope to find a solution that eliminates Comcast's overpriced service & Frontiers ineptness to provide service.

    I have been a loyal Frontier customer for over three years. Recently, I began experiencing slow internet issues. I contacted customer service to see why my internet was so slow, and they let me know I should only be getting 6MBPS. I have been paying for the 12MBPS service for over two years. The agent I spoke with said she would get a refund for me for the last three months of service, but that has never happened. There was no resolution in my concerns for being overcharged and underserved, and the internet is still very slow. My husband and I decided to switch our service as nothing was getting resolved.

    In my attempt to cancel our service, Melissa treated me like I had no idea how a computer or the internet works (I serve on a few different technology boards so find it humorous that her attempts to lie and act like I am an idiot were so bad even my non-tech savvy mother could have seen through the lies). She lied about the service I was paying for and was very disrespectful. It was a nice final confirmation that this company does not care about loyal customers, and I am glad that I will no longer be getting internet from this company.

The Supervisor advised that it would not be a week because it was something on Frontier's side and they would have it up going shortly. A week later every 15-20 minutes, have to get up and reset modem. All you get is when you call Frontier is "we're sorry." I will agree.

    I signed up for Frontier after we had Comcast. Comcast had reliable service and had fast speeds. However, we were paying too much for the service we were not using. Hence I decided to try Frontier, as they had reasonable packages at decent download speeds. First few months we had Frontier we had to keep restarting the modem a few times a day as it will keep resetting. However, the problem went away by itself at some point.

    After about 15 months of service I was moving out of the area. When I called them to see if they can transfer the service, they mentioned that there is no Frontier service at the area to which I am moving. Hence, I asked them to cancel my service from the current service area. They got my forwarding address and told me that they will send me the final bill to the new address.

    When they did send the final bill, there was a charge for $89. When I called them about it, they said it is the disconnection fees as I had a contract. When I signed up with them 15 months ago, I asked the customer service rep if there is a contract. She said there is no contract...I can cancel it anytime. So where did this fees come from?? Only Frontier knows!! I also explained to the rep I was speaking to that it is not my fault that Frontier do not have service to where I moved, and see if they can do anything about the disconnection fees. She said she will send an email to her superior, and they will call me back. That was 2 months ago. Now they have sent my bill to Collections. My recommendation is save your money and find a different provider if you have a choice.

    We have no choice as Frontier is the only service available in our area. We are paying for 6Mb download. We get enough speed to watch Netflix but not enough to watch live streaming. For example, I bought the Fox Soccer 2 Go package from Fox to watch the Women's World Cup. It was a disaster. Choppy. Stopped every 2 or 3 seconds. A waste of my money. I checked Ookla Speedtest regularly all month and was getting download speeds anywhere from .28 MB to 1.2 MB. One time it was up to 5.4. Every time it rains or gets a little damp there is a break in service.

    I no longer bother to call "tech support" since they always try to blame my computer (although my wife's computer has the same issues with lack of download speed). As you can tell by this post Frontier has defeated me. Worn me down. After 8 years of lousy service I have given up. Bottom line, while they advertise 6Mb count on less than 1 Mb in good weather. I guess there are no regulations regarding false advertising as long as they say "up to 6 Mb". Very shady, in my opinion. I am considering going to some satellite service but I fear it may be just as slow?

    I was a long time Uverse customer and was switched over to Frontier. I changed to a lower level of service and made the mistake of paying the interim bill that reflected the promotions dropping off from my old level of service at the suggestion of the initial CSR (who was very helpful). Fast forward to my current bill which does not properly reflect my overpayment from last month. The reconciliation on the bill made no sense, but somehow was charging me an amount close to the cost for the new level of service, not crediting me for last month's overpayment. Here's the math: bill for old level of service $147, bill for new level of service $127, last month's bill payment of $203. Last month's bill was the bill with the lower service level, therefore, the lower price. The simple math is $203-$127=$76. The only amount in question is relative to the billing periods.

    The billing period with the $203 charge should have included a few days at the old rate, with the remainder at the new rate. I could not impress this upon the first CSR I started this discuss with 2 weeks ago. She promised to call back with a reconciliation in a day or two. When the return call never came, I called today to start the discussion all over again. When the next CSR simply referenced the bill and kept telling me that the credits are on the bill, I asked to speak to her supervisor or just cancel my service. When the "escalation" department entered the fray, the conversation quickly got to the same point. She was unable to grasp how the overpayment should be relative to the new level of service instead of the old level of service.

    I got a lot of "well our system is a good one, and it's correct" and "these credits seem to reflect all the appropriate changes" and "you're only paying about $70 when your normal bill should be about $127" and similar bs. They simply refused to consider it from the broader level that discussed above. After about an hour I gave up and just asked her to try to consider what I'm trying to say, but it fell on deaf ears.

    My bill is past due for a charge of $ 382.93 early termination fee. I changed phone company for a better rate. Before I implemented a service I called Frontier Communications and I asked if that would be a problem. The representative informed me that would be no problem cancelling a service. Before I go further let me explain to you the situation why I was so carefully collecting information before I made the change. Fabian Eclectic is small company providing electrical service. My husband owns a company and I help him to do paperwork in his office. I am a nurse and end of February the owner of the company filed bankruptcy. We got no notice and 80 workers doctors, nurses, office workers got unemployed including myself. Insurance was running out in two days. I wanted to save money and other company offered a better rate. That was the only reason I made a change.

    Since then I called Frontier Communication almost every week. The representatives were very nice but could not help me, they transferred me to supervisors. I left numerous messages, no one ever called me back. I also left my e-mail address. Last Saturday on June 20th I talked with very nice gentlemen who informed me that a supervisor entered a note in a computer that the decision is final. I really needed to ask firmly to talk with a supervisor. It felt like I did not have a right to talked with a supervisor. The lady identified herself as **. She informed me that someone talked with my husband back in December and got a verbal permission for one year a service. My husband does not have any memory especially I handle all these problems. I remember we were talking about extending a service and adding a fax line. No one ever mentioned about verbal agreement.

    I told her numerous of times that I called a company before I made a final point about the new service because I strongly wanted to avoid any confusion. Her final answer was that nobody touched your account. As a customer I called the company in a very difficult situation in my life to save a little money. The representative never informed me of early termination fee but also never touched my account and did not enter any note in a computer. I do not have an ability to touch my account.

They reset our appointment for a day that we had plans but we had to cancel them because they didn't care that they screwed up just said we needed to be available on the new date or it would be our fault as to why we didn't get hooked up. Ever since we have been getting overbilled by at least $100.00 each month.

    Our rep couldn't help so he had us call his manager. His manager had been fired so we were given a new guy. He told me to pay $160.00 which we agreed would be close to what we were quoted (in their favor) and that he would get them straight on the contract price. Then we receive threatening letters every month because they are trying to overcharge us. I have proof of hours and hours of phone conversations trying to correct this.

    Each month I call several times and I am told they will get the account fixed. Each and every month we have to go through same thing except the last time they actually cut off our service. I called and spoke to several people, I faxed our contract over AGAIN, and I found out they had put our account in to collections. I was told by one person that they showed we were 2 months behind, the other person said we were 1 month behind, and another said he could see all the payments.

    We paid our last bill a few days prior to when it was due hoping they would not shut off our service for the lack of the over charged payment but of course that didn't happen. When I was finally transferred to that department I was treated horribly by whoever I spoke to. She told me "Well maybe you should learn how to listen and pay your bills rather than being upset with us for cutting your service after non payment." Needless to say I was livid and told her to get her manager. She replied "Ok but she will tell you the same thing."

    20 minutes later when she was tired of playing her game of keeping me on hold, her manager came on and I told her I was about to just turn this over to my lawyer as I was not going to tolerate being disrespected by some ignorant individual when I have never paid a bill late or not paid a bill my entire life. The manager told me that that person had no right to talk to me that way, that she had made a mistake and that they would be turning on our service immediately. She also told me they would get our account in the right hands so it could be corrected once and for all.

    So now 6 months in to this contract I have lost countless hours of my time of which I will never get back, a lot of money as I have to clock out from work and spend hours on the phone trying to fix their issue, and again we just received another notice stating they are going to cut off our service if we don't pay their hugely inflated bill. I just want good service without all the threats and I would like to deal with a company that is honest and cares for their customers. Frontier has made a habit of overcharging and threatening their customers rather than providing good service at a fair price.

    Frontier Internet is an ABSOLUTE JOKE. If your choices are between Frontier and no internet, choose no internet. I pay for 10 Mbps $70 a month. They advertise $20 a month. I am promised 10 Mbps, but I get 0.24. This is ridiculous. I have to wait 3 hours to download apps that would take 10 seconds with normal internet. I can't watch YouTube videos, even in 144 p. It is ridiculous. Would not recommend.

    We haven't even been with Frontier that long and are already having sooo many problems with them... Like them being lazy and not showing to an appointment made, then lying about it... Or them overcharging us more than just one time... Or even the fact that they are completely dumb and cannot comprehend that to work some place like that, they need to know how to speak to and handle their customers (especially ones who pay)!!! Sooo sick of being bounced around from one moron to the next and being put on hold for like ever!!! Not that Comcast is good, but at least they show up and some know what to do!!! Lmao wow! Shut these morons down for good and let another company take over that actually know how to handle customers!!!

    Last Friday was my last day with Frontier for high speed (so-called) internet and 2 landlines. I had been a happy customer of SNET and then AT&T since 1997 until the unmitigated disaster of Frontier's acquisition of AT&T's landline and parts of the internet business in CT last November. It started out the day of the sale, when on a Saturday morning and my neighbors had no internet connection, followed by 4 days of every second attempt to connect to the internet resulting in a failure by Frontier to identify the URL resulting in a DNS lookup failure. I never received a single communication from Frontier that the switchover was happening or, after it took place, of the new customer service numbers - all of which changed. Attempts to reach Frontier for customer 'service' resulted in constant back-and-forth between the old AT&T and Frontier, each saying the other maintained the internet ops in question.

    Frontier techs showed up at my door twice when I was not home without having set up an appointment. Speed was a joke - I never got above 2.8mbps for downloads or 1.2 for upload, the internet connection would drop as many as 8 times a day when I was connected to my office (causing me to have to reconnect to the office server), and DNS lookup issues continued. On the landline side, one line had a constant humming sound that they were unable to fix, but traced back to a switch 2 miles away (and that my neighbors also experience). When I eventually made the decision to switch over to Cablevision, I had to take a day off work because Frontier only ports phone number to other providers on WEEKDAYS - not on weekends. Made the switch to Cablevision on Friday, and saw an immediate 25-fold increase internet speed - about 58mbps download and 27mbps upload. No dropped connections and no DNS lookup issues.

    In addition, when combined with my existing Cablevision cable service, I am saving over $1600 in the first year when adding internet and 2 phone lines.

    I realize that Cablevision is not without its issues including loss of internet and phone service during power failures without switching to a generator, but the improved service and cost savings are compelling. My only regret is that I stupidly stuck with Frontier for almost 8 months, as I should have bailed immediately after the sale by AT&T.

    After having their service in my name for over 2 years I transferred my service from my name to my parents since I haven't lived there in over a year. They never mentioned I would have a 200 dollar cancellation fee even though I was a loyal customer for awhile. Why would I have a cancellation fee when the only thing that switched was who was paying the bill?!? Also since I thought my service was done I didn't expect a bill nor did I look since that's the only bill I've had to that address in forever so they sent me to collections. A phone call would have been nice. I plan on paying another 200 to cancel my parents service just to have them lose a customer. Also every time I try and call it's not "business hours". Can't wait till I actually get in touch with someone.

    I opened a new business a nonprofit actually and am on a very tight budget. So we went with Frontier who seemed to have the best offer for our area. I was told I would have a 30 day free trial period and that my first bill would be due in July and would be 115.48 and after that 49.98 plus tax. Well not even 2 weeks later I get a bill for 200.00 far off from what I was quoted what with a due date a whole month ahead. When I called customer "service" I was told too bad, I had to pay the bill, it is what it is, and what I was quoted doesn't stand.

    Well I finally got a hold of the regional director who fixed my bill but not the due date and told me that my monthly bill will be far more than what I was told. To say the least I'm upset but now stuck with a 2 year contract. On top of all of this the connection is CRAP! Won't stay connected and I am actually using my phone as a hot spot with. I wait for it to get fixed if that ever happens. The customer service is nonexistent and they cost just as much as the rest. I would suggest taking your business elsewhere before you get taken advantage of by Frontier. I'm not sure why they have not been sued and are still allowed to be in business.

    I cannot afford to pay a lot for phone and Internet. I negotiated a price with Frontier when AT&T switched us all over. We had no choice in the matter. Each and every month I'm charged for two months (their explanation). That does me no good, because I can only pay one month at a time. When I do pay, they tell me from that point on, I will only be billed the negotiated monthly rate. I was promised last month my bill would be $66 plus tax. Today I received my bill, and yet again it is $154! I just paid in full on May 15th! This is outrageous. Also, we keep losing the Internet connection on weekends on and off. This company is terrible. I have no other alternatives for Internet, because I have over 90,000 emails. If I switch to Optimum, I'll lose those emails which are crucial to my life, work and school.

    Our experience with Frontier has been horrendous! Bad service, incompetence, problem after problem and they don't keep their word. We have literally had the worst experience with Frontier than with any other company. They have put us through H*ll and now, they're treating us so rudely. This company should not be allowed to operate in Connecticut.

    I set up an appointment to have Frontier internet installed at my home. I set that up on June 1, 2015. The installation was to take place on 6/16/2015. On June 13th, I called to confirm my appt. All was a go I was told. Then on the night of the 15th, (the night before installation), I called again. Just to confirm. I was told that on June 11th they discovered that there was an issue with the cable to my house. My installation was not going to happen. No call, no text, no email from the company. Nothing to advise me that they found a problem that would delay my installation.

    My original plan was, because they were supposed to come between 8 and 10 am, I was going to leave work at 7:30 am and go home for the installation and come back to work after. If I had not called them, I would have left work and sat for over 3 hours waiting for someone that was not coming. This is EXTREMELY HORRIBLE customer service. You would think that me being a new customer, they would go above and beyond to make me happy and secure my business. Nope! They don't give a crap! Now I am told that they will email the technician in my area and he will contact me within 72 hours. So what? Wait 3 more days, for what? I will look elsewhere for my ISP. This company is terrible. I'm not sure how they stay in business.

    4 times they have quoted service times and either been 2 hours late or no shown up. Their customer service reps are abrupt and rude. They are undependable as well as their service. This company will not service. This company will eventually not exist!

    I wanted to get phone and Internet service. They were supposed to come hook it up not once but twice. I was stood up with no phone call. When we called to find out what was going on, the guy told my husband that it has been rescheduled and we never received a phone call. This was very poor customer service and I will complain to everyone up at that camp ground that wants to get service through frontier.
