    My husband and I have had an account with Frontier Communications for almost 20 years. The account was under his e-mail address. Two years ago he passed away, so I had our account updated with my e-mail address. Recently I tried to access the account and they had no record of my e-mail and they had me create a new account, then had me merge the two. Still cannot access it, keep getting an error message, which Frontier cannot explain. I pay my monthly invoice by US postal mail, which is a good thing, the account is paid to date. If I didn't live in a rural area, and Frontier is my only option, would not recommend!!

    I have 1 year left on a 2 year Verizon contract with a 50/50 speed that was sold to Frontier. After my initial call to Frontier, the day we all were cut off, April 1, I was told that "everything will stay the same, billing, speed, customer service. Comes my first and second month bill, I paid the same contract amount I paid to Verizon. 3rd bill goes up by $26.00. Frontier says "my discount is expiring and my next bill is 78.00." I contacted Frontier again and they say "your STATEMENT says your discounts are expired." I remind them of the amount that my contract states and the monthly discount that I will be paying for the next year and it's not $78.00 and my discount expires the same time my contract expires. They said they did not have my contract (but they did have all my information).

    Now they say, "well since you accepted the 50/50 upgrade, you voided your contract." This lady was in customer service NOT the legal department. I told Frontier I did not request any upgrades. It was done and I was notified by Verizon after the fact. I have since filed a complaint with the FCC. Yesterday, I got an email saying Frontier answered this complaint and I will get a copy within 10 days. I have no resolution yet. We need a class action lawsuit on Frontier. These people are A BIG DISASTER. They bought Verizon contracts but are not honoring them. Bring on the lawyers.

    You don't have TIME to listen to the saga of how many calls and how many hours; HOURS, it took, to put our internet and cable services on vacation hold, and then to cancel the hold to resume services. AND that was just a prelude to trying to correct the billing problems that resulted from the above issues. A spiral of incompetence. REALLY. In my lifetime, I have had Time Warner Cable, DirecTV, Brighthouse, Verizon Fios and now Frontier FIOS. The latter is by far the worst service. I would recommend NOT using Frontier FIOS under ANY circumstances. Both their internal communication and external communication are in dire need of repair. They cannot get the job done. Run away!

    I was with Verizon for many years with no problems and would have been happy to stay with Frontier forever if they treated me fairly. This week I received a bill from Frontier saying I had not paid my bill since they took over. They had somehow messed up the autopay settings. What I noticed was they had added an EARLY TERMINATION FEE and had placed me on a 2-year contract. I called and was told by Anthony at Frontier that the mistake was corrected and I would receive an email confirming the correction.

    When I did not receive an email I called back and was told by Sean that it would be Monday before I would receive the email. I called back and was told there was no record of me calling before. I then talked to Supervisor Robin in Connecticut. She said Verizon placed me on the CONTRACT right before Frontier took over (no proof or explanation) and there was nothing they could do about it.

    She explained that if I left Frontier I would have to pay $300 as a penalty. I explained that I joined Verizon with the explicit understanding that I DID NOT want to be on a contract but she insisted there was nothing they could do. I pointed out that this contract was created WITHOUT my consent but that also did not matter. I asked her for a copy of a SIGNED contract but she said they could not produce one. She threatened me with having a collection agency engaged if I refused to pay the FRAUDULENT bill even though she was aware it was FRAUDULENT.

    I have no problem my service or the price I am paying for that service. After 5 years of honest service from Verizon it is a shame that my introduction to Frontier is with a shoddy, immoral and illegal practice of placing people on contracts without their knowledge. It became clear the reason they are creating these contracts is so they can RAISE their rates and you cannot threaten to change companies. Or if your service declines you are again without the option of leaving. You can believe I will be leaving Frontier the MOMENT my contract is up, even if I must pay more to an honest competitor.

    Absolute disgrace! I've been in the phone with 7 different people and no one can explain to me why my business lines are not working! I had called a week ago and asked that 3 lines of the 6 lines be removed because of no usage. They said the order is placed and it will be done the upcoming Friday. On Thursday my business fax is not working. On Friday my MAIN BUSINESS LINE and its rotating line is out too! Called for assistance on Thursday they said a service tech will be out Friday. NOTHING! NO ONE! NO CALL. NO SHOW! NOTHING! Called them Friday and told them now my business line is out. They said a tech will be out between 11-2! Nothing. No one. No call. No show! Called them back the gave me the runaround. Asked to speak to a supervisor. He proceeds to tell me a tech will call within 30 min to an hour! Again no call!!!

    I called back! This time I'm beyond furious! Spoke to 3 different people no answers again the runaround. I can't begin to tell you as a business owner how frustrating it can be especially when another business can't understand the importance of customer service. My phones rings constantly from 9-5 everyday and not to have the phone properly working for even 5 minutes can hinder the business. FRONTIER - YOU GUYS TRULY SUCK! While I'm writing this I've been on the phone for 1 hour 11 min and 43 sec and still nothing. It's terrible!! Now they're telling me that a service will not be coming out until tomorrow which is a Saturday. I can't even trust their word.

    We should all set up a lawsuit against Frontier. Their services suck. Brightstar, Comcast are better. They will never let you out of service for more than a week. I have classes and work online and I had to go to public library to get my work done. This is so unfair and they had no customer service skills and they are so slow to dispatch a technician to fix it. They never showed up on the day they set up an appointment to come and resolve the problems. I was so mad and my B.P. was getting up. Imagine yourself in a house with no cable, no internet and I do all my stuff online. I am fed up with their services.

So once again I call up there and this time I'm told I don't need a different dvr (I have a hd dvr). I just change the service plan. Transfer me and I'm told that I do indeed need a different dvr but a tech has to deliver and install it. So now five days later still don't have it figured out and no date set for install!

    I am so angry with this company. On April 11, 2016 Frontier apparently took over from Verizon and I have not had any internet or home phone since. I have called on numerous accounts and cannot get ahold of anyone. When I finally got someone I went round and round with them letting them know I have had no service and I do not want anything to do with them. Well since that phone call they have been trying to process bills directly into my checking account. As of yesterday 7/14/16 they tried to process a bill for $299.00 dollars. For what? I have never ever had any service since they took over.

    I had to put a block on my checking account but that does not stop Frontier from trying to process bills every month and it locks up my money until the process goes through and is denied. I am at my wits end and cannot get any help. I do not know what to do. I have never ever been treated so horrifically by a service provider or should I say they are not a service for the public to purchase and provide for us. They are criminals taking us all hostage. I am not sure what I can do next.

    I have been with Frontier for 20 years. I am paying for high speed dsl internet. Lately the service has been messed up. Slow, can't get on to a site & all kind of problems. I called Frontier & spoke to a tech on 7-2-2016. They told me I live in a high congested area & things were not updated. Ok so called back on July 5, 2016 & spoke to another tech Catherine. She said they would take off $21.00 a month & never told me they were downgrading me to more even slower speed.

    I received my phone bill & it was not the price they said so I called back today 7-15-2016 & spoke to Aris & he explained my package had been downgraded & the speed would be slower. I told him I did not like it & wanted high speed which they can't provide cause we're too congested in this area. I told him I was going to cancel & he said I have a contract till May 2017. They are breaking their contract cause they cannot provide the high DSL so why can't I break the contract cause I'm not getting the service I signed up for. Can I break the contract. I see they have a lot of complaints online. Thank you.

    I have had 4 experiences with Frontier in the 3 months since being surprised by their takeover of my Verizon service. In 20 years I have had 0 - ZERO - problems with Verizon, it was just easy. With Frontier, everything is complicated, WRONG, and frustrating. Four bad experiences in 3 months, as opposed to none, ever, with Verizon (this phone, anyway, in 20 years or so).

    First contact was about paying electronically. After an hour on hold and then connected to a cheerful agent in the Philippines, I was told it was all easy, but the payment direct-addresses (for banks) wasn't set up yet, and just pay the same way (Not good). Finally done, by my bank. 2nd call: how to put my Florida phone "on vacation", as is my right in FL. Told "no problem. Done". Then I got a bill for the next month of no (suspended) services. Call 3: "Ignore the bill, you have a credit balance". OK, fine. Call 4: The next month after receiving both electronic and paper bills for a full month of service (despite phone being off, and the promise it was straightened out). This time, after a long wait, I was told it would be adjusted. We'll see.

    Any good alternatives now? Hard to see one (Comcast? Eh.). Anyway, this is not "service" as defined by the dictionary, and with all the bells & whistles online, the simple process of billing seems to be focused on sending me bill for service not received, no matter what. And "phone support" for phone service should be better, and preferably based in the U.S. too (I am fine with other nationalities, but not with being unable to understand the "English". Plus, I'd like to see them add jobs on *our* frontier!). That's it.

    Yesterday we discovered that our business phone and internet was not working. After spending 45 minutes on the phone with Frontier (India?) they said they could not send a repairman until the next day. I explained that this was a busy night for us and we would not be able to process credit card transactions nor conduct electronic gaming. After a second call to customer service they assured us that they would send a repairman that day. They never did show up! Just another disappointment with this company - both as a business and with my home experience. Paying for high speed internet that crawls etc. etc. etc. If there was any other option for us we would be gone in a heartbeat! Frontier is a bad option for anyone.

    This has to be the worst company I have ever dealt with! They do not honor time commitments and scheduled appointments, and although pleasant on the phone, they are extremely incompetent. I was shuffled from department to department trying to solve an issue, and after several hours, still had no resolution, other than a service technician would be scheduled for the following week. When I asked if that could be expedited, I was told that someone would be there "tomorrow". After arranging to take a day off of work - NO SHOW! When I called back, we began the whole process over again including hours of wait time. This on top of their mediocre services and previous problems with billing, I will encourage everyone I know to avoid like the plague!

    We recently terminated our use of Frontier service after over two years of aggravation. This was our second time, I should have learned. The billing was wrong from the first bill. Every time we called, the person we talked to corrected the bill only to have the next billing notice wrong again. This went on month after month after month. We never received a bill that agreed with what we were told on the phone. We finally gave up when the bill came within 5 to 10 dollars of what we were told. The last bill was wrong again. We called and we're told we didn't owe anything, in fact we were owed an $80 refund. We recently received notice that we were delinquent on our last bill for $50+ dollars. We paid it just to get rid of them. And now I guess my credit rating will take a hit. I feel sorry for the people that work there. They were always polite and tried to help. I recommend that no one deal with Frontier no matter what great deal they offer.

    I have received a current bill with a credit of $47.76. I called the company four times trying to get re-reimbursed for the amount above and four times they were to take care of the matter, but I was hung up on instead. And so this matter on my end has not been resolved. I am thinking that on their end if I finally give up and not call any more that they will keep the monies owed to me. I have also been told that each time I call the call is routed to another country. What type of terrible joke did Verizon play on the American people by trading our business to this corrupt company? All I am asking for is a full re-reimbursement at this time. My husband just passed away recently and I could use the extra funds for necessities.

    I used to have "high speed" internet service with Verizon. When I first called them to scream about how immeasurably slow and sporadic it was, the voice on the other end told me --"What do you expect, they haven't improved or repaired the lines for 2 years -- they are selling them to Frontier." My blood ran cold because my brother -- now deceased -- had his system changed to Frontier and it was down for WEEKS. Through my firm, I had a speed test done and found that the "high speed" internet I was paying $50 a month for was only good for 1 mbps. You read that right.

    My company did not support less than 5 -- so I can't even download or upload. Two tin cans and a string are faster. Not only that, I got billed by Verizon and then Frontier even though I called and told the woman in the Philippines that I was quitting Frontier to go with Time Warner, no one ever disconnected me and of course, there was no record. So I wrote a letter to the FCC. BTW, the headquarters of Frontier is in Building 3 in Stamford, Connecticut and even if you try to call there, you get the Philippines or India, at least I did.

    They are publicly traded but they should be delisted. They are sooo incompetent at what they supposedly do. I have never been to hell but I am pretty sure this company runs it -- also badly. Fast forward: I also have my landline service through a bundled business package through a company in Southern California, Southern California Telephone that uses the old, and I do mean old, Verizon lines. I have had Frontier lose calls on them, get my caller ID wrong, erase my message, not put through calls when I am sitting by the phone but send them straight to the voice mail with no message.

    Interestingly I have also checked messages one day to find nothing then the next day, 25 messages that were -- God knows where -- now on my voice mail. I have had people email me that they were worried that they couldn't get me on the telephone -- had I been sick or gone? No... No... I was here, the phone just didn't ring. The call quality is often so poor I have to ask the person on the other end to speak up and speak more clearly though the robo calls and sales pitches seem to make it through every time.

    I simply can't say enough bad things about Frontier, at least without using words that are more appropriate in the brig in the military. So I leave you with this, if you have to stay with them, as I do in the case of the land line for now: Salamat is Tagalog and Namaste is Hindi... "and the horse you rode in on..." is the latter part of a wonderful military expression that I truly think would be appropriate to use with Frontier for what they have put me through in just 2 short months. Run... run for your life if you have a choice of another carrier.

    I placed an order to have Fios internet and tv set up at my house. The appointment for the set up was 8-12 pm on 7/7/16. 12 pm came around and no field service rep made it out yet. I called customer service to see what the hold up was, and it came down to there not being any record of it happening that day. Luckily enough I kept the record of the online chat proving I had confirmation. Then the supervisor informed me their system hadn't caught up with the "request" they put in for the installation. A confirmation is NOT a request. They offered me a messily $25 credit. Fine I still need it and TWC doesn't service my area YET. Scheduled a second day, for 7/14 (today). I called a day ahead of time to confirm the field service rep was going to make it out and that I was scheduled in their system. This time my "window" was from 8 am-7 pm. What a joke, I said, "Fine".

    I called around noon to see if they had a better idea of when the field rep would be at my house. They unfortunately have to reschedule again, but it's okay because they offered another $25 credit. What a joke, this company is so disorganized, there is no notification system in place, no communication. The word "communication" is in their name yet they don't keep their customers informed. So I have a third day set up for Monday 7/18, hopefully they make it out during the 8 am-6 pm "window" they have given me.

    Stay away from this company if you can at all costs. I tried to hold the supervisor accountable that helped me after the first missed set up since the supervisor said he would handle it himself for the second time around. Guess not, no-one is held accountable at this company. Now I am going to have to miss a third day from work to have something installed that should have been installed at the time and date of what was first agreed upon. This company needs to be sued and shut down. Anytime I addressed the fact that this was the customer satisfaction department and I am not satisfied, all the supervisor said was this is the process Frontier uses. I miss Verizon.

    Just after Verizon became Frontier, Frontier increased my bill by $47/month (from $119 to $166) with NO notice. I didn't find out until after I received my bill for the services used. They said that it was documented in the fine print of the bill that I received the month prior, and refused to make any exception. After 3 phone calls, I was placed on hold and told it would be one to two minutes, it ended up ranging from 5 - 9 minutes each time. I was told that they would not continue to honor the rate I was previously given, and no suggestions were offered.

    Since I had a bundled package, I suggested what if I drop the phone, would that lower my bill? They were willing to bring my bill to $137/mo for dropping the phone service. So, I am now paying more money ($18 more) for less service (no more phone). Of the 3 customer service reps I spoke with, they do not care that I'm not a happy customer, and they do not care that I plan on terminating by switching providers.

    Terrible customer service. Outsourced technicians with poor language skills; I have difficulty understanding them although they have been polite. My gripe is I've called 4 times now; my internet signal keeps dropping. I've had to turn off the cellular on my phone as the dropped wireless is causing my data usage to go up (the data kicks in automatically when the wireless drops off). I've done everything they've asked from rebooting ad infinitum to shutting the entire system down (not just the modem).

    I'm on terminal hold now, waiting to speak to someone again and ask them to send a new modem (this fixed the problem last time but it's only been a year). They even changed the channel my signal is on claiming high usage of the bandwidth which frankly, I could care less about who is using what, where. I'm paying for a service and expect it to work. If there was a better option I would go with them. Only other choice here is Comcast and they are horrible as well. If you have any choice at all, try getting a provider who is going to deliver the service you're paying for... although I don't know who that would be.

    I called to order Internet service and the first thing I asked (TARYN) who was the sales person was, "Do I gave to have a Phone Line?" She asked me to hold on and when she returned she said, "No, not in your area." We went on to discuss the service and I stopped TARYN when she said I would be receiving (7) Meg of speed. I advised I thought that was slow so she explained, "No because it will be a dedicated line it will have faster speeds than the other companies that make you share with all the people in your neighborhood." I said, "Ok that's good."

    Finally after (47) minutes TAYRN asked if I could write down some information and she proceeded to give me a phone number. I stopped her and expressed again that I had no phone lines coming into my house because they had been removed during the last owner's remodel. She expressed for me not to worry that it would be taken care of. I said "ok as long as It's not me that pays for it." I was again assured it would be taken care of.

    The original install date was changed from the 8th of May until the 17th of May. May 17th came and went with no one showing up. I called the morning of the 18th and was told they were having problems finding my account. Finally 40 minutes later someone advised me that my application had not been completed properly and not passed on to the next department for scheduling. I advised them that I also had not received the equipment that TAYRN had told me would come in the mail. I again was told that the sales did not do her job. The young man I talked said they would reschedule my install. I advised him then if they could not be there by Monday the 23rd that they need not come. The technician arrived and installed the line and modem and left.

    I noticed for the next several weeks that my internet would constantly buffer. When I tried to record on the Directv service they sold me as a bundle it buffered and an error message advised that the Internet speed was insufficient. I called again and was advised that it was running fine on their end. I asked for a service call. When the technician finally got there he tested the equipment and advised me that I was on it receiving between (1) and (1.5) Meg which was insufficient to do any of the things that I was told I would be able to do, Plus being they sold me Directv and now I would not be able to use the service that I was paying for with them. He reduced the maximum done to (3) Meg's and said to try it for a few days to see if I was able to do anything.

    My Granddaughter was visiting for two weeks and was having problem with it buffering so I did not use the Internet so she could. It still buffered and went up and down. Now since she is gone I decided that since I was lied to by the salesman TARYN and I would never received what I was originally told that I would cancel the service and look elsewhere. I also left out the part where when I received my bill I was billed for installation of the phone line that I was told by two different person at Frontier that I would not pay for. During that hour or more phone call the person I talked to was able to get credits for. He then explained that I also owed a 50.00 charge for the modem that was installed so I could receive the Internet. As far as I'm concerned the modem is a part of their equipment that enables me to get the service that I would pay monthly for and should not be charged to me.

    I advised him that I was not told about the charge by the salesperson so I would not pay it. To me it was a bait and switch fraud game. I finally had to tell the person I could no longer hold on the phone since it had been well over an hour. Now I have been told by their supervisor that they will not waive the cancellation fees as in plural. He advised there would be a 340.00 fee for the phone which I did not want in the first place and another 340.00 for the internet. He did state that if he was in my place, he would expect it to be waived. I then asked to speak to his supervisor and was told that there was NO ONE higher than him who takes phone calls so I was not provided with any name or number and no other recourse but to file suit.

    I was sold a bill of goods that they could not provide and knew it from the start. The technician also showed me on his computer that I also had not signed the form that they needed that said that I did or did not accept their service as it was. I asked the supervisor about it and he advised since there had been money paid on the account that it was me accepting it. This is nothing but pure unadulterated FRAUD.

    So I'll just make this short and to the point. I didn't have a contract with Verizon before they sold out to Frontier. I soon discovered that Frontier is complete garbage after taking over... So I fired Frontier. Which now they are trying to convince me that I will be charged a 140.00 termination fee. Which I will fight to the death. I asked did customer no service if they had put me under a service contract without my knowledge, and if so prove it! All I've gotten has been the complete run arounds and stalling from this poor excuse of a internet provider... I'm curious to know if anyone else has had to deal with this similar to my situation madness and what was the outcome?

    We became a Frontier customer after a Verizon Fios transfer. Within in the first month of the transfer we lost service. They were unable to get my service restored after over a week. We had to cancel since I work from home and have to have internet. After cancelling we specifically asked if we would owe anything else and we were told that we would not have any more charges and that we would receive a refund check for the partial month we had already paid. Two months later we are still receiving bills, including an early termination fee that we were told would not be charged. We have called back multiple times and we always get a different answer. We have been told the balance is 0 twice only to receive another bill the following month.

    The latest call said they understand our frustration but they cannot refund us the money or credit the account because there are no notes of any of the previous conversation and it appears we do owe them money. The fight continues. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and pick any other company for your internet. Poor internet service and the worst customer service I have ever talked too.

    I changed services, actually an upgrade in internet with Frontier for a lower price when the change took place in April. I was quoted $64.99 a month for 100/100 Mbps internet services. Next billing cycle I was charged $99.99 a month for these services, plus a $200 early termination fee. I called immediately, and was promised services for $64.99 once again, and a correction of $200 for the termination fee, plus an adjustment for the overcharge of $99.99. Of course this did not happen. I called again, on June 8 2016. The representative saw the corrections were entered, however incorrectly she informed me. After almost 2 hours on the phone, I was told the request to correct the overcharge and termination fees were approved but pending, and as usual I would have to wait until next billing cycle to see the corrections.

    Also, I was told that my 100/100 Mbps internet would indeed be $64.99 a month. For my troubles the representative offered me a personal device protection plan at no cost, and would be included in the $64.99 month fees promised. I was hesitant, and asked that the service was free, and included in the stated monthly fee of $64.99, and I was assured so. Now comes my July bill. The erroneous overcharge fees and terminations are still present, and I am charged late fees on these. Also, my monthly service charges for 100/100 Mbps internet are at $99.99 not the agreed upon $64.99. And an extra charge for $9.99 appears for personal device protection appears, of which I told, and confirmed would be free of charge, included in my agreed upon monthly fee.

    Although I dread it, I once again called customer service. Once again spent at length trying to explain my dilemma. Once again was refused to talk to a supervisor, manager, or anybody with the authority to help me. Oh, and all the customer service rep could tell me was that indeed was monthly fees were now $99.99, because "the promotional period had expired". My current employment is based upon me keeping a good credit score. I am concerned that these growing fraudulent fees may affect my credit since I shall not pay them. I have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and have an attorney on retainer to deal with what I am certain will transpire in the coming future with Frontier once I cancel services. But it is my responsibility under law to mitigate my damages.

    This was an absolute nightmare. Apparently the previous tenant had an outstanding bill. I had to provide a copy of my lease... 2 forms identification and a form that had to be notarized. The nightmare came a day before my installation date because that was when I learned I needed this information. I initially called to find out where my box was that was supposed to arrive. I went through hell trying to get all this info and find a notary. Now remember I had no internet so everything was done on my phone. I am also new to the state. After endless conversations on hold for an hour at a time only to find out today that I was not getting internet and it had to be rescheduled for the 20th!!!

    Customer service couldn't care less and wouldn't even consider giving me a month free or discount for all the hell. I asked for my deposit back and she didn't bat an eye.

    I have had nothing but trouble from installation. I had my phone transferred, and had internet installed. The install was horrible and left a big mess with the wiring, did not check to see if phone was working. I had to talk to someone everyday to get the technician back to fix the problem, replaced with a new box for a better internet connection. I called and had them install a new box for the internet usage that we use a lot of devices. It is spotty but works. Then a few days later my phone goes down constant busy signal. I got online and had them submit a ticket. First time they said techs were in the area and my phone would be fixed by morning. I again contacted them asking for a technician to fix my phone, submitted a ticket but then was told that their system was updating and had to wait 24 hours.

    I had to do this several more times waiting 24 hours each time. Finally got a tech who came to the house, checked for a dial tone, and then left. I went to make a local call dialed about five numbers and now get the message that I need an access code. I am supposed to have nationwide calling, can't make local calls. the only number I was able to call was to frontier to have a tech look at it in 24 hours. I could hardly hear because of a bad connection. I want people to know it is not worth it to switch. I will be going back to my former company because Time Warner gave better service. Now they are Spectrum. I don't like waiting all day to fix my problem and then nobody shows up. I don't like being without phone service.

Don't fall for this. It's not worth it. Even if they give you 50% off.

    I am writing this review because I was so frustrated with my internet as soon as Frontier took over. My internet begin to go up and down daily. As a teacher I need dependable service as I often am working on school work online. After almost daily calls to Frontier for two months I made an appointment for tech support to come out. I was not surprised when they could not repair their own internet. My service ended at the end of May. I had called to complain quite regularly so I was given a lot of credits. Yet I received a bill a month after my service was discounted. I called in to let them know that I would not be paying the bill because I no longer had the service. They verified that I had a zero balance. Yet a month later I received yet another bill. I was told it was because I added a service but they couldn't tell me what service I added. I was given a credit to take care of the balance that was not mine and they acted as if they were doing me a favor.

    Frontier please stop billing me months after your sorry service was interrupted. What kind of company cannot repair their own internet? Wait a minute, it's not yours - it's Verizon's. You should have stayed in your lane. I had absolutely no problems with Verizon. What a mistake they made, selling their service to you. As I was asking them to send me boxes so that I could ship back their equipment, they asked me if I wanted their tv service.

    Updated review: July 28, 2016

    On Frontier's website, there is a place to write to the President's office which I did. I was contacted a few days later. We had taken lots of notes when talking with their reps and I repeated that info in my complaint about trying to just cancel the movie channels to get a better price but instead their rep signed us up for far fewer channels (not just movie channels but other channels as well) and increased our monthly fee from about $188 to $245. Kim **, a rep from the President's office, called me a few days later and agreed to put us back to what we had originally wanted and at the price we expected to pay. Originally the tv channels didn't reset to all of them and Kim was gone for a week's vacation, but she worked diligently on it all day yesterday when she returned and our problem was resolved.

    We now get the Extreme television pkg, telephone and High-Speed Internet for about $166 including taxes (so she said). I feel confident this is right. She emailed that info to me. So I feel I should change the rating from my previous 1 star to 4 stars because they did make it right. She said they take every complaint written to the President's office very seriously and work to resolve them. So I suggest you make records of who, when, why when talking on the telephone to anyone so that you have those notes to work with if something goes wrong. I feel the rep who screwed us and caused Kim to have to spend a lot of time repairing that screw up may be up the creek now. I hope so.

    Original Review: July 9, 2016

    Frontier recently took over Verizon here in Florida. For 2 or 3 months we were paying the same thing for the same service we had been receiving from Verizon (about $188 per month including taxes). Since most of the movies are so dated and rerun over and again with only a recent movie occasionally we decided that we would drop those channels and lower our monthly price. We called in and the Frontier rep gave us a figure of around $111.98 plus tax for the phone, internet and tv without all the channels we wanted---not all the channels.

    So we would save about $40 a month with the new bundle they offered for a 2-year contract. So I get the new bill and it's $245 for less product---about $60 a month more. The new rep said the other rep made a mistake. They tell us we will have to pay them $150 to cancel a fraudulent contract---one only WE are bound to---not them. We said we'd just go back to what we were getting and what we were paying and they say they cannot offer that to us. Why would anyone call and say "I want to pay a lot more for less service?" I hate Frontier and warn anyone to stay away from them. Crooks, liars and thieves in my opinion.

    The most useless company in the entire United States, poor service, don’t care the customer issues. Verizon sold my account to Frontier Communication in May 2016. I got a bill from the company in May with wrong amount. I called the customer service for the first time. I was very dissatisfied with them. So, I told them to cancel my account. I got a bill in June 2016 for $176 and noticed they did not close my account. I called again and spoke with a manager and she promised to correct the errors. In July I got a bill for 96, instead of a refund of $40. Called again and finally agreed to send me a refund check. In short, in the last three months I called Frontier about 6 times and spent at least 3 hours on the phone. They keep you on hold for 30-40 minutes. This is a ridiculous company. Please, please, please stay away from this company. They have the worst customer service and they don’t follow the way they say.

    UPDATED ON 07/13/2016: On 7/8/2016, Fred a manager from the Frontier Communication agreed they owe me a refund of $46.65 (to be exact) instead of a payment of 96.37 (down from 165.74) as per 7/1/16 bill. Today I called again. Miss Rebeca from the company stated that my account shows a balance of $11. I questioned her why the change. She took 20 minutes and then said, yes, it is wrong. They will refund the $46.65. They made a mistake. This was the 7th call and I spent 3.5 hours on phone with them. I am not sure if they will ever give me my refund.

Of course no one thought to call me, so, even though said human admitted it was Frontier's fault, they are making me wait another week to get my install done.

    300 dollar deposit, and 3 weeks later they installed. After several broken promises to appear on time, I was already irate. It took two guys, over 3 hours to install a router and a set top box. Now I was trying to be real cool with these guys, because they're just workers like me, but it was frustrating watching them fumble over the smallest of tasks. Nevertheless I was polite and understanding with them. Thought I was buying Internet and tv service for 79.00 plus tax. They lied about the channels included in the package, and turns out, I'm paying for free public television. It's the fees associated with paying for the already "free" channels, that really bother me. For two weeks I waited as my "tv" services were "transitioning" even though I didn't have Verizon...

    I finally get a rep on the line, and ask why I'm not getting any channels except the free local channels. She says that's what you get with the "Fios local package". I was mad, but still willing to look past that. I inquired how much an upgrade would be, was told 150 plus my other fees, service, and that it would take at least a week for a tech to come. I SAID "NEVER MIND JUST CANCEL THE TV SERVICE AND LEAVE THE INTERNET." SHE SAID, "OK ARE YOU SURE," AND I SAID YEAH AND HUNG UP. The customer service was just as bad as the other reviews say, blatant disregard for my time, putting me on hold, upwards of 30 minutes at a time, just to hang up on me. (Even supervisors did this!)

    As it turns out the sales rep signed me up for a contract, and not month to month... I FOUND THIS OUT 2 MONTHS AFTER MY SERVICE STARTED, WHICH IS WHEN I GOT MY FIRST BILL!!! The supervisor I spoke with Mitchell, after going over my bill, and asking him why the tv was there still, why am I just getting the bill, what's with all these fees and charges, told me that I would get a early disconnect fee and have to pay the bill in full. I just calmly said cancel the service both TV and internet. He said, “Are you sure?” I said yes, and hung up.

    When Verizon was bought out by Frontier Communications the customer services plummeted as well as the services they provide. I had a great triple plan with Verizon and was told that they would keep everything the same with the switch. It all started out with my cable package, the package I had with Verizon had the perfect channel list for both English and Spanish networks. When prompted by Frontier that I would have to leave the package at the end of the contract, I was told that the channel list would remain the same when switching to Frontier's new package. Oh boy did they lied and included a package with about 60 channels (not even close to what I had) and they were all Spanish networks.

    Contacting customer service is a nightmare, with wait times lasting over 30 min on average, being transferred back and forward to the same customer service department that nobody knows what they're doing, purposely place me on mute so that I would hear nothing and be forced to hang up, asked for the manager the first time around and 50 minutes and 42 seconds into the call ended up with a supervisor who did nothing. No spanish speaking customer service representatives, so when you're on the phone and push the keypad number to speak with a Spanish speaker, results you into a loop of the same repeating message and getting you no one. Frontier's solution to not having Spanish speaking representatives is to have an interpreter from a 3rd party company who are a hassle to translate due to the echoing over the phone, constantly repeating the phrase "What!?", AND IT GETS WORSE FROM HERE.

    When finally getting a hold of the manager named Rod I told him of my cable ordeal and he issued to have my old package back within 48 hours, plus he was going to credit my cable service. 2 days later and the package was not changed and I called back to be told by a customer rep that it would take a total of 3 weeks to see the change. Fast forward three weeks, they changed the package but I NO LONGER have English networks! I ask them to fix one thing and they break the next.

    I call back 2 weeks later and my internet is pushing 2 Mbs-0.02 Kbs of downloading and uploading speed. Pissed off as I was, I was helped by a rep named Gem employee ID: **, who wrote a ticket to send a technician over in 6 days and expected me to stay in the dark without internet. Who in the right mind would leave you without service you're paying!? Not to mention the credit she "supposedly" put on my bill for the internet being out of service, which did not show up on the online statement as well as Rod the manager's credit. Also, for security reasons she asked me what color was my house!? I responded with disbelief and told her that never in my life have I been asked that question over customer service. I shamefully answered because she said that if I did not answer she will not help me.

    After hanging up and calling back to get another rep., Nicole told me that all I needed was a new router and got my internet to push a mere 10 Mbs enough to have something. The router arrived 5 days later and it did not work. The technician came over the next day and removed the router they sent and replaced it with a more powerful router that pushed 50-60 Mbs of internet around the house (Note: the technician did not mention that this new router would cost us $79.99 for 50/50 Mbs but we had no idea).

    That same morning when the tech came over the house, the house phone had no dial tone. He checked it and waited for 2 and a half hours on hold with Frontier customer service because he had no idea what was going on, and when he finally found out what was wrong he said that our house number has been completely removed! After getting everything back in order, he finally managed to get our house phone working again.

    As of currently, our bill sky rocketed from $90.32 to a whopping $267.60! We're calling in to settle the price back to what I was paying but the bill is still unchanged and we've already made a settlement with Charter Spectrum triple plan because we are just done with Frontier Communications, just done. They were not ready to buy out Verizon. Useless customer service, terrible managers who do not keep their word, I highly do not recommend this service for anyone. And if you've made it this far into my review, it's hard to make this stuff up and do yourself a favor and stay away until things get fixed.

I explained that my business can not be without internet that it will shut me down. I'll lose money... They didn't seem to care. I asked them that I wanted to speak to a supervisor... They said they would have them call... I've been calling all day and can't get through?! Do not get their service... I had no choice it was Verizon then switched over... Verizon was awesome!!!

    This company has taken over the services once provided by Verizon Fios service and discredited loyal and trusted customers with less than acceptable customer service for their billing dept. The billing dept. continues to bungle its handling payments made directly by my online delivery from my bank. I have spent enough valuable time on countless calls listening to excuses as their reps try to address the incompetence as exhibited by their billing/receiving dept. I have made many attempts and provided proof of payments to their customer investigation dept. without a reply from them.

    They continue to charge my account for late fees including past due payments that have been made by my bank wire method on bill pay. Previous payments during the transition of ownership were made to Frontier. Continues to deny receiving them for last 3 months. I have contacted the Texas Public Utilities Commission (PUCT) and they stated "it is out of their jurisdiction" and they recommended I contact the FCC with no response from them yet? I seem to have no recourse at this point as I am extremely dissatisfied with this company and their method of doing business is such a disservice.

    We have a summer cabin in Northern Wisconsin and phone service with Frontier Communications. The phone service was out for a month. We asked for a credit on the bill. Frontier sent us a credit card to activate and use in order to receive her credit. This should be an outlawed business practice. TOTAL RIP OFF.

    I'm a new resident to Hillsborough County. I signed up for Verizon FIOS upon relocating to Tampa in March & since then it has been a nightmare dealing with this. The services were scheduled to be connected on April 18th (3wk window). At the time I didn't know that there was a pending merger to go to Frontier. On April 18 I receive a call at 3:03 pm from tech saying he was 30 min away. By 5:30 pm I still hadn't seen a tech & called Frontier to find out the delay. Upon a 2 hour conversation I was told they couldn't find my work order due to the merger, then it was, "We found your order, but tech canceled the ticket saying no one was home." At the time of the call there were 6 adults & 2 kids present & no one had ever showed up. I explained to the rep that I'm a former tech with Comcast & I know exactly what happened. The tech saw that my order was big (7 tvs, internet, & phone). He canceled the ticket b/c it was the end of the day.

    Upon our conversation and escalation to a supervisor I was told that my order wouldn't be able to be installed until May 4th. With my trepidation I had to agree to a later install. Come May 3rd I receive a call from the dispatch department & was told that "frontier is overbooked & would need to reschedule my appointment." I am furious & demand a supervisor. The supervisor apologizes & says after seeing the issues I've had in the past they are going to do their best to get a tech to my home, but can't make any promises!

    Once the new tech came she was very apologetic, humble, & professional. She understood my frustrations because she'd been hearing them during every service call. She arrived at 11:30AM & didn't leave my house until almost 11:00PM because of issues provisioning the telephone service. She had to come back the next day & still wasn't able to get the telephone service working & had to escalate to Frontier's engineering team. The telephone service started working that following Monday!

    I'd called in during this time frame to have the Sports Pass package added to my account. It was added... I'm being charged 9.99, but the channels never came through. When I called tech support they advised me that the installation ticket was never closed & until dispatch closed the ticket they couldn't provision the package.

    Around May 15th I called in b/c all the channels that I thought I was supposed to receive weren't coming through. Again, I was told, "We show that you don't have service & are scheduled for a technician to come out & install your service." I explained, "I'm calling you from the Frontier landline, I am looking at my TV, & I have internet. IF you are showing that I don't have service then I shouldn't expect to receive a bill, but I advise you to contact your dispatch team to close the ticket & then we can move forward." They complied & the ticket was closed.

    I then had to "upgrade" my package to get the channels I thought I was going to receive upon signing up for service. I was also advised that the Sports Pass is apart of the "ultimate" package. In addition to having this going on. I have a cable box in my living room that when the cable box goes into sleep mode for an extended period of time I have to physically unplug the box & plug it back in in order for the picture to come up. I complained about this as well & was told that because of the ongoing "install" ticket that they can't do any troubleshooting, but I need to have a tech scheduled for the install before this can be addressed. I advised to just leave it alone until after the other issues have been fixed & then I'd schedule a technician.

    Come June I receive my 1st bill. The bill is for $840+. I immediately contact Frontier & explain the situation. I tell them that while I expect the 1st bill to be prorated & charged the 1 month in advance. The price I was quoted for the package was $280.00. So why am I being billed for this amount. The rep says I'm being double billed b/c the initial service I had is still on the account in addition to the upgraded package. She ended up crediting my account $239.

    Once this has been complete I go back to address the issue with the box in the living room. I schedule a technician to come. The day of the appointment (can't remember specific date now), but no one shows up. I call in again reschedule the appointment... No one shows up. I call in again... This time I'm told nobody needs to be home. It's a "network" issue that's being addressed, but then that Sunday June 26 I get a call from a technician saying he's on his way to my home. I believed it to be a network issue b/c speaking with my neighbor he tells me he's been having the same issue. The tech comes & says it's isolated, switches the box out & haven't had an issue with it.

    Now to present I receive a new bill. This bill is for $1300... I call back 07/05. The rep explains to me that she sees the credits, but they have been approved to be applied to my account. She also advised that she sees that I'm being charged for 2 packages & that she has to work with another team to have this removed & credited as well. I explain to her, "My concern at this point is I'm almost 3 months into having service, my bill has been messed up the entire time & I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a disconnection notice soon, but none of this is my fault & why would I pay these astronomical fees I'm being charged just for them to be applied as a future credit onto my account."

    She advises she's going to work on the issue & would call me back. Today 07/07 I still have yet to hear back from the rep. I call to speak to a supervisor (sorry all of these calls are taking place on the dedicated Tampa line that was set up 888-457-4110). I speak with a Supervisor Tasha... She advises me that the credits are pending, but she will reach out to that department to try to have them expedited... as for the reason the bill is still high she is saying that whoever set up my account set it up for a month to month billing instead of the 2yr contract rates. So she's going to need at least 3 business days to work on all of the credits due in addition to making sure my package is setup correctly.

    I then ask her about the Sports pass package I'm paying for but not receiving. She says I'd have to speak with Tech Support to have it provisioned. I speak with George from tech support & the services start working, but George starts doing other things to my account & now I'm without video service & a residential tech needs to come to my home, but can't come until Saturday between 8am-5pm! After ALL the issues I've had with techs not showing up they expect me to waste my Saturday WAITING... I'm asking to at least give a "block" time instead of an ALL day appointment. They say they don't have that capability for techs only new installs.

    I ask for a supervisor & am transferred to "Stephanie" the supervisor. She apologizes for the inconvenience, but says that Saturday is the best they can do for an ALL DAY appointment. I stated "with all this inconvenience that is being caused by your staff I should be given some sort of courtesy credit to my account." She says that I can get credit for the days without service, but nothing else can be done. I tell her that's unacceptable considering this circumstances of my account & I'd like to know who the VP is of the service department. She responds, "You caught me offguard with that question. Hold on while I look that up" & the call was disconnected.

    I call back to the Tampa Frontier line & speak to a rep. While he's going through the notes he says he doesn't see that I spoke to a supervisor. He sees that I spoke to a Brianna in tech support! He tries to troubleshoot transfers me back to tech support, but as I explained all along it does no good to troubleshoot if the "ONT" box on the side of the house is not communicating. They agree & ask what did I want. I said I wanted the VP's information b/c this is ridiculous. They didn't know it, but was willing to try to look it up. Which has lead to me filing this complaint with your office!

    I apologize that this email is so long, but as a new resident to FL and stuck with Frontier services I think that changes definitely need to be made & I'm hoping that you can assist. I see that your office has been overwhelmed with complaints regarding this company. Please HELP b/c I don't know any other options in this case. I've NEVER experienced anything so half assed in my life when it comes to business. PS: Not to mention I'm paying 99.99 for 100/100 internet speeds, but I'm only getting 9/15 but don't want to say anything b/c the rest of the service & tech support has been very discouraging! This is the worst!!!

    I tried to give Frontier the benefit of the doubt when Verizon bought them out. However, I had nothing but problems with Frontier from the start. First, they never could get my online account set up. The temporary password they sent me in order to set up a new account never worked. After extremely long wait times, a tired and rude sounding customer representative and struggle for them to even find that I had an account with them. Each time I called to get set up, it never worked.

    Second, I wanted to change from Fios to regular high speed internet because my Fios never worked well when I was with Verizon either. We have always had to hook our router directly up to our television in order for the internet to work with it, so paying more for Fios is a bit pointless for us. When I called to change this and set up a less expensive service, they told me that they don't have it in my area. Funny thing is when I finally got sick of Frontier and called to cancel my service, they all of a sudden had regular high speed internet in my area. Why do they only have what you want when they need to use it as a last result to keep your business?

    Lastly, after they were unable to successfully set me up for online bill pay and lied to me saying they didn't have the service I wanted, I cancelled and wasn't told I'd have a large cancellation fee. I don't feel like I should have to pay a cancellation fee when the company I was fine with using sells their company and hands us all over to an incompetent and dishonest company without any choice. I requested a credit on my account to cancel out the fee, but they told me, "it's useless to ask for one, but I guess I'll send them a request for one". Wow! Thanks?!? I asked when I'd know if it had been approved for the statement correction and the representative said, "I don't know. I guess call back in a couple weeks." I pointed out that more fees might be tacked on by then and I'd rather just get it taken care of ASAP, pay my last bill and move on. They replied with, "It's your choice".

    Stay away from Frontier. They have no redeeming qualities and I won't be surprised when they go out of business. I don't know a single person who is happy with them.

    We love Fios! When the change happened we encountered issues with our internet. After a few weeks I tried to call and kept waiting and waiting. Finally got someone after an hour on the phone. Complained about service and was hung up on several times. I was eventually transferred to tech support where, you guessed it, disconnected. I call twice more and eventually canceled service due to needing my internet for my wife's school and my work. Called today to talk about the 1000$ bill and the loss of our 300$ in movies, full monthly charges for substandard service and the cancellation fee. I was told to pound sand.

    I should have waiting on the phone and kept calling back to reach someone to troubleshoot my service. I told them I know they had bandwidth issues and nothing would solve that but time, which we didn't have to give them. After some yelling, screaming I got the same answers over and over. I called an attorney today and plan on filing suit if need be. I figure since my company offers the legalization service I am going to use it. If anyone else in the Tampa Bay Area is interested let me know.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Once the technician had not arrived within the 2-hour window for installation, I gave another hour before calling Customer Service. After spending an additional half hour speaking to a non-English speaking rep I was given a phone number to reach my install tech. It turns out he gave me a wrong number.

    After spending even more time calling Customer Service to resolve this issue I was told the bundle I was sold is not even available in my area.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

They are stealing from their customers by charging them hidden fees. My usual payment is $143 dollar and I got a bill for $340 for upgrading my service. I have an installation fee of $80 when no one even came to my house to install anything. They prorated 75% of the cost of the new service for 4 days of usage. Now, I of course cancelled my service with them, but they say I am in a contract with Verizon and that I will get charge for a early termination fee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I contacted them on numerous occasions to find out when these features would be reinstated; however, no one had a clear answer. I'm now at my wits end. I contacted Frontier on June 8, 2016 when I discovered that my phone and internet service were not working. The first call I was told to go and disconnect all set top boxes and reconnect everything (I'm employed as a Service Tech for Frontier, lol); needless to say, I did as I was instructed and was told to wait for 15 minutes for the troubleshooting process to finish. After waiting two hours, my services had not been restored.

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

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

    The best they can do now is $74.99 for 100/100 month-to-month service with price guarantee. Verizon Fios customer service was horrible and it appears that Frontier is no better.

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

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

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

    I asked for his supervisor and he said 48 hours until they call me back but they will tell me the same thing as him. I asked for the corporate phone #. He said he doesn't have it, to look on their website. I said, "So as a supervisor of a call center you mean to tell me you do not have your corporate office's phone number?" He lied and said no. I am so through with this company. I WAS NEVER TREATED LIKE THIS BY VERIZON FIOS OR EVEN TIME WARNER. I would never refer anyone to them ever.

    I finally switch service from Frontier to TWC because of the internet outages that was hurting my business and my son being able to attend his online classes. Frontier is stating they have no documentation showing that I ever called them. I have sent them screen shots from my phone log, screenshots from my Facebook post showing the message internet not working again even when they say it is working. I have plenty of proof that my internet service was not working. Verizon was my cable service for over 12 years with no problem. I really wanted to ride this transition out and I did until they started hurting my business. I have to move on.

    I did not have a contract with Frontier - my contract was with Verizon Fios. If Frontier had good service I would still be there. I should not have to pay an early termination fee for horrible service. I have been in contact with a Jazmine ** and she keeps saying they have no record of me calling so basically I owe the termination fee. I have plenty of proof on my end and I showed her. So I will see them in court because they still owe me for all the digital movies I paid for that just disappeared since they took over. I had over 40 movies that I paid $12-18 a digital movie for.

    How is a company like Verizon allowed to throw their customers away like this to a ZERO of a communications company. The quality of the service/speed is significantly different and there is nothing you can do about it. How can they charge you to leave a contract when they are not providing the service you originally bought and have experienced for significant time. Calls to customer service are of no value. Then they want to charge you to have a tech come out to figure out why your internet isn't fast enough anymore. Frontier has no right being in this business.

When I called Frontier and gave them my installation number, I was told they couldn't find it so I had to start from the beginning. It took until the end of May for me to get service from Frontier and then on June 1st I got an enormous bill - even though I didn't have complete service until the end of May!

    A one star rating is generous. I have been with Frontier for many, many years and I have never seen anything remotely close to this hellish nightmare. Their consolidation with Verizon has offered the consumer nothing but ridiculously long wait times on the phone, erroneous bills, disconnected or interrupted internet service and representatives that have no idea what they're doing. Over the past month, I have spent DAYS on the phone with countless reps trying to fix the mistakes that have occurred by this inept company.

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

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

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

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

Still they show that I cancel the account on the 21st of April which is wrong. This is for their benefit because when I request the refund of the $58.37 that they owed me they say that I have to wait 90 days after the cancellation date (for them the 21st), and then wait another 15 or 20 business days. This could be equal to 120 days or maybe more. When I asked why this delay, it's their policy they say. They keep your money and they refund it when they want.

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

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

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

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

To make matters worse, they couldn't figure out how to fix it over the phone. They were reluctant to send someone out to fix it as well. They have no records of this happening (what's new?) so therefore they will not refund me for the loss of service.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    My internet connection was restored and both technicians that came to my home were apologetic and provided me with the customer service experience I expected but didn't get from the Call Center Reps. I have decided to give Frontier another chance based on my experience with the Technicians. I hope I won't regret it!

    Original Review: June 23, 2016

    My internet connection has been down for a week. I have been forced to contact Frontier 3 times -- and the problem is still not fixed. The first time, they sent someone to my house who said they fixed the issue. Issue not fixed. Took me 45 minutes to get a second ticket open to deal with it and an appointment was made for someone to physically come to my house/door. I called today to confirm the appointment that is tomorrow and they told me that the appointment was cancelled because someone had already come to my house and fixed the issue. But the issue wasn't fixed -- how could someone close the ticket and cancel the appointment when I still had no internet connection. They couldn't tell me - only could open up the 3rd ticket and tell me that someone would show up at my house/front door this time. They are terrible.

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

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

    We have at least 18+ accounts with former VERIZON and were happy with their service, but FRONTIER is driving us away and I am considering taking all accounts to COMCAST. Imagine if FPL would not come out, or a week later, when a wire is down and people don't have AC?? This is just not acceptable how FRONTIER thinks they can treat customers. I am just asking for a quick repair (and I run a business, but that should not make a difference to privately owned accounts!!) because I am paying my bill on time! If we as customers don't pay our bill on time, they are pretty fast charging "Late Fee's"....maybe I should ask for money back for not providing service for a week. Not to speak of the valuable time I spent on the phone (5 phone calls) to get the wire repaired.

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

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

    I have never experienced poor service like this, completely incompetent and I will go as far as possible to expose their fraud. Frontier could not figure out how to install cable and I cancelled my order. Yet, they charged me over $100 and when I told them this over 5 times, they can't find my account, can't find the charge... I was told to fax proof of charge. I did so. The fax number they gave me three times was invalid. No one could figure it out and the so-called managers are worse than the customer service reps in India. My order number would come up and they'd have the entire order incorrect. Now my order number doesn't show up and they now say I don't exist in their database. I hope to bring this pathetic company down. You don't ** with people like this and not expect blowback. Frontier sucks and I'm on a rampage with these **.

    I had to change from Verizon to Frontier. I had phone and internet only. My internet started to drop daily. I called to have a tech come out - first was told by customer service that I did not need to be there. Well, I did. Since I was not there my husband OKed them to lower my speed for internet. He was told that would stop me from being dropped. The only thing was that it was so slow and I could only have one device online at a time. I never had a problem with Verizon. I called and had them change it back to the speed I had. When they did this I lost my connection. It was out for a day so I called again - was hung up on twice and spoke to 5 different people.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Update: Shannen from the Office of the President tells me that I am NOT entitled to the $102.52 for reasons that are unclear to me, something about billing in advance.

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

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

Tech said they would send someone to my house the next day (Sunday) any time between 8 am and 5 pm. I also called on Sunday to confirm that they would be arriving and was told yes they would call me half hour before they arrived. Of course after staying home all day no one showed up.

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