    Frontier Communications is the worst company ever. I have never experienced such incompetence. Customer service only tells you what you want to hear. They lie and never call you back if you get disconnected. They tell you someone will be out to fix the problem. You wait 4 days and no one ever shows up. When you finally cancel, they want to charge you fees and also not think it is reasonable to refund you for the weeks you had no service. This company is stealing people's money and do not care. They need to be sued in a very big way.

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

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

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

    Waited all day Friday, no cable guy, no call. Saturday, about 3 pm, reschedule for Sunday between 8-12 PM. I called about 10 am to check. THEY reported that the cable man said "no access". He lied. They wanted to reschedule me for the 15th. I said NO! I wanted it done today. Wi-Fi isn't working (have to pay for overages). I'm missing TV channels, etc. Cable guy is here after I insisted. Customer service is lacking. Verizon did this switch!

    Way overpriced for the service they provide. Had to install a second DSL line to get the throughput needed for our small 3 person shop. Was charged a $700 termination fee even though I never stopped the service as they are the only ones that service our area (monopoly). Took 2 months for them to correct the issue, and they have charged me a late fee on the incorrect amount so it looks like another phone call for me. I wish they would stop overcharging for slow DSL service.

Despite multiple communications and the fact that the number has been transferred over to Bright House, they keep billing me and try to reach them... OMG... impossible. They now take over.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Terrible customer service. Missed multiple appointments without advance notice. Made appointment for a 8am-12pm window on a Friday for install of internet. I called at 11am to check on status. Sat on hold for approximately 1.5hrs. Spoke to several different CSRs, and a supervisor; was disconnected and did not receive call back; was told by a supervisor that I would receive callback with solution and never received one; somehow my install got lost in limbo. As of 1 week later I have still not heard from them. Contacted CSR rep via chat and requested termination of all services and was informed a specialist would need to contact me to perform; will update with results of that interaction.

    After suffering with Comcast for years I honestly didn't think it could get any worse. I WAS WRONG. My experience in my first month with Frontier has been absolutely hellacious! Extreme incompetence from the installation to billing to customer service. They sold me 100/100 speed but then installed a coaxial cable which is only capable of 50/50 speed. I have wasted at least 5 hours of my life trying to get my bill to match what my contract says I should be paying. That struggle is ongoing. Just trying to get through to a human is cruel and torturous. I get "disconnected" literally every time I call. I'm serious when I tell you it typically takes 3-5 calls getting disconnected, usually after being on hold for 10-20 minutes, before I can even talk with a person at this horrific company.

    I had Verizon for 10 years on automatic payment, the same week Frontier took over I had to move April 1st. Frontier stood me up 3 different times and never came out to connect my new service. This was April 21. No connection with Frontier. So I went with Charter another internet server. I canceled Frontier. Frontier keeps collecting on my closed account. There is no end to this. I have spent 6 hours on the phone with Frontier and they keep assuring me the account is closed. This evening I have an new invoice because they said the bank cannot process their payment. Of course not, to my great inconvenience I had to close that account weeks ago to keep out Frontier. Frontier is the worst experience I have ever had. I think I threw out the last bill. Who knew they would keep trying to collect after three months.

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

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

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

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

    We requested our service to be canceled when we moved house, scheduled for late June but wanted the TV and internet turned off but telephone left on because of the alarm system. It would cost over $120 per month to do so. We said: "Arg but O.K." Well on June 7th our TV stopped working and on June 9th our internet stopped. Calls to their service department gained nothing. A call to the City appears to have worked because the internet came back and shortly later the TV appears to be working. However, the robo calls are now getting through again.

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

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

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

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

    6/2/16 4:45 pm tech Jeremy arrives on location, he drops the line to the building, states he doesn't know anything about elevators. They are not trained and he wouldn't know the first thing about connecting the line to the elevator.

I advised that I had received a bill for the line already from 5/27-6/1 for $114.58, when the line was not even dropped until 6/2? How was I getting billed? He advised that he would credit me $100 to our account. I inquired about why I received a separate bill when I specifically asked for this line to be part of our existing phone bill. Morgan indicated that the merging of the accounts was in process. I advised Morgan that the $100 credit was insufficient since I still did not have the line operational. He told me to call back the following month to request the additional credit for the $14.58 since the max credit they can issue is $100.

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

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

    6/9/16 - spoke with Marlyn regarding the open order and asked if she saw the notes regarding my conversation with Eric, she said nothing was logged. She said she noticed that the account wasn't escalated to dispatch to contact a technician in the area to see if one could service us sooner than the 11th. She put the order in for escalation and requested that I complete a survey regarding the service she provided me despite all the prior experiences I had with Frontier. She assured me that I would definitely be getting a call from dispatch.

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

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

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

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

    $400+ for the first month!!! Now, that is absolutely ridiculous. One month earlier, Verizon wanted $69.99 for the triple play with 100mbps internet. Since the takeover, Frontier has jacked up the price to $130.00 per month, and also wants $80.00 connection and $215.00 deposit. Check my math, but that is $425.00 for the first month!!! I have nothing negative on my credit either. It's ridiculous the way Frontier is trying to take advantage of people. They have a monopoly on the service, and TWC can't get in because Frontier owns the cable. Frontier made sure that I knew that no one else has Fios service but them. Frontier Fios is outrageous and trying to Gouge customers with ridiculous high prices.

    My husband is in the U.S. Army and when we moved we had to change from Verizon to Frontier. Mind you, we NEVER had an issue with Verizon...however, Frontier has been a nightmare! Upon moving, we called Frontier to schedule a technician to come out and set up our service. We moved within a day and they scheduled a technician 1.5 months after our move-in. They said they are extremely busy. Unfortunately, they are the only service provider, so we had no choice. We ended up going over the data limit on our cell phones and paid over $60 in addition to the 1.5 months of Frontier internet service, when the service wasn't even set up.

    The technician was scheduled to come out yesterday. I took the day off from work and waited. I called twice and confirmed that the technician was on his way. At 6:45pm I received a call stating that the technician would have to come out tomorrow because they are too busy?!!? The technician arrived the next day and took about an hour to set things up. Now, I have tried calling Frontier customer service 3 times to request a refund for the 1.5 months of charges since we didn't even have service. They gave me every runaround. Transferred me to 4 different departments. The customer service reps are EXTREMELY rude! I asked for a manager and was placed on a 67-minute hold (I think intentional). And now they are saying, I need to call back in another week to see if credit can be given. I would give Frontier ZERO stars if I could. I cannot believe the military allows and associates with such unprofessional and disrespectful liars.

    I never had any problem with my internet connection until Frontier bought Verizon Fios. My connection drops about every hour for about 2 to 5 minutes each time. I'm also paying for 75/75 connection and getting 32/30. I did demand a credit, which they said would appear on my bill, but I had to call again to actually get one and they were going to charge me a late fee if I didn't pay the full amount by the due date because the credit may not reflect it in time. I told them I would NOT pay a late fee for their incompetence and the rep said she made a note of that in my file. There are other problems with trying to pay my bill and updating my information. I'm cancelling my service and going with Time Warner cable.

    I never had an issue with Verizon. When Frontier took over, my internet service is a joke. All of a sudden it takes 3-5 minutes for a page to load, if it loads at all! When I call I will be speaking with a customer service rep and after about 5 minutes the line disconnects, EVERY call. Now you know they have your number right there. Do you think they are going to call you back, NO, you have to call back and go through everything again and then the line disconnects again, and once again, no one calls back! Also, I never had issues with the cable going in and out if there was a breeze outside, but since Frontier took over, my cable is in and out. I can't wait for July 25th so I can dump this garbage!

First off, the customer service is located in the Philippines and the agent was difficult to understand and did not seem to understand why I was calling. The agent proceeded to place me on hold for 25 minutes and when he came back on the line, he still couldn't provide me with my password. I asked to be transferred to a Supervisor and was told one was not available. I ended the call at that point. I then called back and asked to be transferred to a Supervisor and proceeded to be placed on hold again for 30 minutes before the call was disconnected. Needless to say, I did not receive a call back from them despite being asked for your phone number in case the call gets disconnected. The customer service is absolutely terrible!

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

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

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

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

    It was a nightmare since Frontier took over Verizon. I cancelled the service after bad experience. But it doesn't end here. The return process is even more painful. I requested empty box for 3 times before they really sent out one with a tracking number on it. Different rep told you different thing. I had the internet and TV service. The first rep told me to just return the TV box and remote. The second rep told me to return just the router for the internet which really doesn't make any sense. Finally, the third time I called, the rep told me to return everything. Sure I will. But the box that arrives can only fit in one freaking equipment. Seriously, how many times I have to call to make things right FOR YOU!!! No wonder no one wants to stay with Frontier!! I just had the box stuffed to its max and return it to UPS. Will update more when they refund me the $$ (if they do).

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

Account was supposed to be on vacation mode April 11. Well, imagine my surprise when I get a $189 bill for service from April 22-May 21 when my service should have been on hold on 4/11. I call, they say that there was a glitch, it will be straightened out and I will get a credit. (Never mind that the $189 is higher than my bill would have been under Verizon) Then I was charged AGAIN for service from 5/22 to 6/2. Another $189. So they've now stolen $378 from me!!!

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

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

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

A call never came. I called customer service because service was still spotty. They said they were having trouble in our area and would get it fixed.

We closed on new house on 5-27-16. I again called customer service to verify that I would be getting cable installed on 6-6-16. Rep 2 confirmed the 6-6-16 installation date. I took off work 6-6-16 all day because no one called to give me a window of time to be home on confirmed date of 6-6-16.

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

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

    I do not want to have to wait until the 16th to get service!!

When I insisted on speaking to a supervisor, he advised me that the sup was taking other calls. He refused to give me the supervisor's name. I had to repeat my problem SEVERAL times before this man would comprehend what the issue was, then he put me on hold only to come back and say that even though it said 2, it was actually only for 1 installation... SO they are charging me for 2 installations but saying it's only 1.

    I've had to call them a couple times before just to get my service set up (had to wait around 30 days). I'm pretty sure this company enjoys jerking their customers around and making us pay more than we should. Oh, and I signed up for the movie channels including HBO, do you think I have any of those?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To make a long story short the rep ended up canceling my service and never started new service at my house but somehow managed to have a tech come out and install at my new place. After a month of receiving no bill I called and was told that they didn't show service at my address nor could they find my account, but they were going to fix it.

    As of this past sunday I still had no bill and my service was shut off. I called to figure it out and was told my service is suspended but they can't find the account so I am now on my 17th!!! phone call because no one can figure it out, I'm hung up on or they just start a new contract for me or they say they will get it figured out and call me back which I never get a call back. This is so unreal. I don't even know what to say when I call them next. I have asked for supervisors but the reps just put you on hold for two hours and never come back to the phone. I am a day away from getting my lawyer involved because I'm paying for a service that they turned off. I had one girl today finally get on the right track of starting to help me and I gave her a call back number in case the call dropped... Well the call eventually dropped after 1 hour convo and she never called me back. My only hope is she was able to finish the problem solving and resolve my issue.

    This company is the worst I have ever dealt with. We arranged new service to be set up on May 13th. The tech who arrived advised me against them after he did the install, telling me that the internet speed wasn't going to be fast enough and advised I contact Time Warner for service instead. He stated I would not be charged or have an issues, and asked I call back the following Monday to cancel, which I did. I never used the service one time. The woman I spoke to at Frontier stated it was cancel, even providing me with a confirmation number, yet she never canceled the service.

    I have called back three times now, spending over an hour on hold each time with the promise of a supervisor returning my call and none yet. The first rep I spoke to today advised my service was still not canceled and said he would not cancel for me. Who can I speak to in order to cancel a service I have never received? I've tried every avenue with Frontier and nothing. So disappointing.

    I tried to get service from Frontier months ago and never got a call to hook up service or arrange a time for me to be home to get this service. I couldn't go without my internet so I stayed with Comcast & told Frontier to cancel the order. Few days later a guy calls to say he's at my house to start up service & needs to get into my home. I was at work and never got a call previous to his arriving at my home and I told him I cancelled the order. He apologized and said he didn't have any record of it but that he would make sure that it was cancelled. Few days later I get a bill for $163+ dollars for service I never got. I never received the equipment to get service, nor was anyone inside the home to hook the service up. I never signed anything because there was never service given to me at my home.

    I have spent over 6 hours and 4 phone calls (now 5 calls and close to 7 hours) for each time I received a bill from them. They adjusted part of the bill but not all of it. I am still getting a bill for $32.53 over and over again. Threatening letters saying they are sending me to collections. They have all my information that can damage my credit report and they can't seem to get their act together and remove these charges for service I do not have. So far I have gotten the run around for months and not one person can figure out how to correct this. WORST COMPANY OUT THERE FOR INTERNET AND CABLE!!! And I don't even have their service!!!

    Current Issue: We ordered new services from Frontier on April 25th. They scheduled us for May 10th to install our services. I watched the person drive by and not even stop or call our house. So I called and asked them to help the person because they seemed lost. They refused to help me and said to call back if they didn't show up by 4:30pm. I called at 4:30 and said they never drove by again. So she set us up for another appointment first thing in the morning. Again no one showed up. I called twice that day; at noon and again at 4:30. So she says she would reschedule it yet again. I said, "No we lost two days of pay and now we don't want the services. Cancel it and we will stick with Comcast."

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

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

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

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

    I had been a very happy Verizon customer for many years. In that time frame, any related issues with service had been minimal until the week of May 16th. I had placed a call due to my service going down. I was on the phone with technical support for over 3 hours that day. In the first day, my service calls dropped and technical support was not able to resolve any issues. I called back the next day trying to get an answer and to no avail, my disappointment continued. I'm a small business owner that relies on the internet to perform my business. I had spend many painful hours that week getting someone to help me and finally, I had to cancel services.

    Finally, that Friday I was forced to call another provider because no one at Frontier could get my issue resolved and still had no internet service. I was told that I wouldn't receive any penalties and no fees had been mentioned due to cancelling. They still slap me with a bill only after 30 days from transferring from Verizon to Frontier. Frontier needs to get a system that communicates at all fronts and get more people to resolve issues. They are not fully equipped to handle these type of issues.

    My experience with this outfit is completely dissatisfying and am done with their services. I have been a customer since 2005 and have been fed up to say the least. My problem is they continue to increase my bill with many different excuses on why. I disconnected services for the home phone because it is never used. Guess what my monthly bill increased versus decreased and was never informed of this. I called they said I was bundled. Also they charged me an extra $100 for this change. I was just livid in their services. Frontier communications are complete crooks and get away with this constantly.

    If you have Frontier for your services, I CAUTION YOU TO CONTINUE EVERY MONTH TO WATCH YOUR BILL!!! If you don't catch it, Frontier is more money ahead. Sad since I live out in country and are limited to services. Also the customer service is completely JUNK they hang up on you constantly. So in conclusion, NO MORE FRONTIER FOR THIS GUY. Good luck.

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

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

    If I was told that I would not have service for two weeks or possibly more I would not have signed up with Frontier as my ISP. I have called literally every day after work to have this issue resolved, spending on average 2 hours on the phone. Here's how a typical call goes: wait for 10 minutes, get to basic customer service. After verification and some awkward exchanges as well as explaining my problem in detail (also around half the time they say I don't have an account with them...) I am told that they can't help me and I need to be transferred to tech support - wait 25-30 minutes on hold for tech support.

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

    Today I spoke with a manager - Tristan. I asked him what the site goal for AHT was as every rep was eager to transfer me without attempting to resolve my issue. Tristan acted like he did not know what I was talking about, then finally admitted "around 5 minutes per call". I told Tristan he needed to coach his agents. Tristan stated he couldn't because he was on the escalation desk. I told Tristan I know that they rotate coaches on and off the escalation desk (I know he could certainly bring this up to a lead if he is incapable of doing his job). I tend to get snippy after being on the phone for over an hour. I had to prompt Tristan to leave a memo with what we discussed so that I could reference back to it and his EID. Tristan was getting nervous.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No one showed in the time frame I was told and when I started calling on the 12th I never got through to anyone. I tried live chat still nothing. Finally on the 13th I spoke with someone. It took five days for the equipment to finish getting installed. The employees had new equipment and had no idea what they were doing. Almost a month in cable and internet, excluding DVR, were working fine but still no phone service for another two weeks.

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

    Here I was happy with Verizon and all of a sudden I am stuck in a two year contract with services that suck and I have to pay more for! So annoyed! It's been months and my services still don't work correctly. I pay for HBO and Showtime and expect to be able to watch it on demand but I can't! I complain and they say it will be up and running in a week. 2 months later I'm still calling to complain. The customer service people are very nice but there is nothing they can do about the service sucking!

    Since the transition from Verizon to Frontier about 2 months ago, I have not received any communications from Frontier, other than the flyer stating the switch. I have called Frontier twice before today to get my new account information so that I may pay my bill. They were unhelpful, had no account information, could not look up my account with my Verizon account number. Craziness! My bill is usually due on the 4th of each month and since I still haven't received any letter with a new account number, I called again today. This time, I was told my account was closed over a year before I even had Verizon (now Frontier) and that I cannot get access to my account because it is closed.

    I explained to the rep that I do have service and I want the account information -- gave her name and address account is under -- and yet she insisted that I could not have any service because I do not have an open account with them. I asked her, "So you're saying is that I will not receive a bill from you at all, not even a year from now?" She said, "No." They are ridiculous. How do you take over a company and then cross out some of their customers? If your company can't handle a takeover, here is a tip: DON'T DO IT!

    I told her to note my account that I called and that they have no active account for me, and so I should not be receiving any crap about overdue bills. If they can't keep up with their work, why should I have to pay for it with heavy fees and late fees if they insist that I don't owe them anything as of June 3, 2016, and won't unless I start new services with them. I can't even add a receipt with this complaint because they haven't sent anything.

    My customer service experience was great when purchasing services with Frontier but that did not last long. I have been overcharged every single month... promised a credit towards next bill, then told my credit wasn't approved when the next bill came. It took 6 phone calls, 3 online chats and a total of over 5 hours with this company to get a work order to move my services to a new address.This is absolutely insane!!! I pay over $100 a month to this company every month. I have asked for supervisors to discuss this and I am told they do not have a way for me to contact them. Definitely consider your options for internet/phone services because if you have to call their customer service number, prepare to spend at least 30-45 minutes on the phone and more than likely you will not get results!

    Similar to the rest, internet went down 2 weeks after Frontier assumed Verizon in FL. Repeated calls and no-show service calls. Cancelled internet and telephone services after 1 month +10 days with Frontier. Got first bill for 2 months which they had no problems auto-debit my account. Was told I would get credited for lack of internet for first month and cancellation of all services mid way through 2nd month. Got credit for lack of internet but nothing else and they sent a new bill for 3rd month when I was no longer a customer. They agreed to reverse about half of that bill as my credit for lack of services; had reduced the amount in half. So, by their logic, my downed internet credit paid part of my bill for June. One month after I cancelled service. PRICELESS!!! IS ANYONE STARTING A CLASS ACTION AGAINST THESE INCOMPETENT THIEVES!!! Count me in.

Frontier was supposed to transfer service from my old location on May 31st when I get a notification that the service rep wrongly entered my order and the earliest installation date would be June 17th. For someone who works from a home, that is incapacitating. Furthermore, I made multiple calls to have this rectified and was told every time that escalation Notice has been put in and I would be receiving a call back. Many calls and a day later, I am told that they have no control and I would have to wait with no insight whatsoever into what's happening.

    Since the conversion to Frontier from Verizon in April of 2016, numerous small things have gone wrong, changed, slowed down or disappeared entirely in our phone and Internet service. Most recently, the Internet service has been slow. WE are supposed to get 25/25 speed, but never get close to that. Downloading is between 10 and 20 percent slower, and uploading is slower still at about 60-70 percent. Verizon which was also not a easy company to deal with either, at least kept the margins to about 10 percent depending on time of day and content, but it should be remembered that this is fiber optic we are talking about, without the same level of interference as an electrical cable based product.

    We were at 50, then moved to 25 a short time before the switch. It has not been a happy time at all. Basically, Frontier tech support has waved their hands in the air, and claimed that they needed additional time to iron out the kinks after the takeover, but it seems clear that their new policy of 'up to 25Mbps' is here to stay. Rather than guaranteeing an adequate level of performance, their new mantra appears to be anything up to your rated speed is considered OK. I've had their tech support reps actually say that they expect it to be only about 70% of rated maximum speed.

    When asked for a copy of the terms and conditions for service, at my home I was told to hire a lawyer to get the document. I was trying to determine if anything was in writing concerning the changeover of contract from Verizon to Frontier. Turns out Frontier sets what I would consider very low expectation, then promptly sets out to meet, or find a way to underachieve even that. All in all, Frontier has messed things up pretty severely, and they didn't need to. The turnover process was in the planning for a year. A year wasted, and a lot of customers, including myself, wondering if it will ever recover.

    A few weeks ago, my husband was unable to log into the Frontier website to pay the bill so he had to call them. While on the phone, the representative told him that they have new incentives and we could have the same exact service but at a lower monthly fee. Of course he said yes but I overheard him say, "but I don't want anything changed in our plan". All of that was confirmed and he was assured NO CHANGE would be made. Now, fast forward 2 weeks and we have no phone service. 2 weeks later, suddenly no phone service! When calling their lovely customer service, I am told that our service was changed to a "Voice Override IP DSL Line" and she claimed that we made that change. Hmm... what the heck is Voice Override IP DSL??? When I informed the representative that we never changed our service nor do we even know what that is, she continued to insist we asked for the change.

    When I finally convinced her we did not ask for this and it was their error, we were told that they would fix the problem but we would have no phone service for 5 days. 5 days!!!? When I told the representative that would not be acceptable, being that this was their mistake and not ours, I was told that 4 days was the best she could do. I asked for a Manager and after 30 minutes, I was connected. This woman was very kind and I do believe she did her best to assist me. She told me that actually they had disconnected our phone service and she could not tell me why. She told me that she would have our service reconnected in the hour. After 2 hours of being on the phone with her as she attempted to get our service back up, I suddenly lost our internet service. So then we had no landline, and no internet service.

    After 45 minutes, she got our internet service back up but still no phone service. After being on the phone with this woman for hours, still no service. She apologized and only could say that I should have phone service within the hour. It's been several more hours and still nothing. I have no confidence that I will have my service back up today.

    Verizon should be ashamed of themselves for turning over the service to such a shoddy company. We, the customers never asked for this. My husband and I already had a difficult time when they switched their email service to AOL. I was on the phone with AOL for days trying to regain email service. Their customer service is located in a foreign country so there is a huge language barrier. When their tech could not assist me, he asked me to give him access into my computer. Can you imagine giving a stranger in a foreign country access into your personal computer??? When I refused to give him access, he just laughed and hung up on me. When I called Verizon, they said it's not their problem, call AOL. I never signed up for AOL, I never signed up for Frontier. If I do not get phone service by this afternoon, I plan to terminate my service. It is just not worth all this frustration.

Somehow they found about it and cancel my 4/19/16, but did not inform me of this cancellation, because they thought I was changing providers. The funny part is, if they could have corrected the problem with service, I would have cancel that provider. It was my fall back position. They keep sending me bills for service that has not been provided since 4/20/16 up on including 6/14/16. Now they are demanding early termination fees and only one who is in default is Frontier, who did not provide the service that I pay for from 4/1/16 until 4/20/16.

Then be prepared to wait 15 mins or more before they attempt to fix your problem.

    I dropped my cable & landline and kept just internet service. They told me would waive first mo. and charge me $54.99/mo thereafter. New bill came today - I have a $54.99 credit but the internet charges were $79.99 & then I was told it would be 1-2 business cycles before they could adjust my bill. And I was also being charged for set top boxes I no longer owned - sent back weeks ago. My neighbors all have shared more miserable horror stories with this company - long outages of service, both telephone, internet & cable TV. Jacked up bills. Poor customer service.

I decide to call and was informed that I wasn't in their system! They fixed it and sent a guy out two hours later.

    LASTLY, I had live chat regarding billing information for the first months bill. Was told a completely different price. Originally told it would be $56.99 every month including taxes. Flat rate. I just wanted to make sure that that was the correct information. Nope, was told that it was $70.00 not including taxes. And that it was based off of data usage. When I asked what my data usage was, she conventionally said that she could not help me, error in the system. So I start another chat. Was transferred THREE times. Finally told a different price.

    The bill they sent me was 50% higher than what was agreed upon when I joined. I spoke with customer service again for several hours and ended up paying what was agreed upon initially as well as cancellation fees. The agent told me I was all paid up but 4 months later I received another bill. I call them back and they have no notes on my record and no indication that I spoke with customer service several months prior. Customer service finally agreed to attempt to get the charges dropped. That was minutes ago so I will see what happens in a few days. The account number means nothing. They are never able to use that number to pull up my records.

I want to express my utter disappointment with this company change. Verizon is a good service provider and I wish it was still in California. Below is a summary of our difficulties with Frontier.

    TECH SUPPORT - April first, Frontier took over. April first our phone would no longer take or replay messages. Many, and I mean many, calls to tech support gave no improvement with phone. Some calls took hours of wait time before someone answered the phone. Some calls had long waits and the reward was the phone disconnecting before pickup. Some calls disconnected while tech support was on the line. Last call, May 27, to tech resulted a phone call dropped and a loss of dial tone. Trying again today which is May 27. Do the math - April 1 to May 27 = beyond unacceptable.

    CUSTOMER SERVICE - Called yesterday and someone from maybe India tried to answer our billing questions. Could not understand much of what she said. She was either rude or language barrier got in the way and she just sounded rude. Did understand that prices were jumping way above Verizon's rate. She told us that she could not discount the wasted days useless phone, but after I insisted on speaking to a supervisor, she somehow found $25.00 to discount. Luckily our contract with Verizon/Frontier ends in July and we will be shopping around for new providers of phone, internet and television.

    First of all, let me start by giving you some advice. Please stop ending phone calls with: "Thank you for choosing Frontier." No, #Frontier, I did NOT choose you. Your mediocre service was forced upon me like bad regime, without being given options, a new contract or any other terms or conditions to agree to terminate our service. Us customers had no choice in the matter. Its like #Verizon took a giant DUMP on every former customer and left us with this mess to handle. So, please, STOP SAYING "THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING FRONTIER" BECAUSE NO ONE CHOSE YOU.

    Now, as most of you know, this company nobody ever heard of took over from Verizon in March and ever since it has been awful. Frontier Communications, has plumbed in new depths of mediocrity. After they took over I have encountered all of the following: Being overbilled, slower internet speeds (cut in half or worse), channels disappearing, the inability to access video-on-demand channels, movies that had previously been purchased simply disappeared.

    They were not ready for this takeover. This transition has been totally mishandled by Frontier at every level. They lack the customer service, capacity, resources, skills, ability, planning and operational management to handle their new customers. TOTAL FAILURE. Although Verizon was not the best and their hold times to talk to a rep were a little high, they did a very good job of resolving issues and following up on customer problems through email immediately after the call was placed so a record of the conversation would be available for future reference.

    The worst part has been overbilled for service that I did not get. As many other North Texans I was affected by the hail storms during March of this year. My cable and internet service was disrupted and it took about 3 weeks for the service to get restored. This all happened before the so called conversion (very convenient). I contacted Verizon and I was told that they would be pro-rating and adjusting the bill so that I would only pay for the time the services were working. FAIR ENOUGH. VERY SIMPLE, NO BRAINER SOLUTION. While I dont blame either Verizon or Frontier for the storm, I do blame Frontier for how they have handled the situation.

    I was told my March bill would reflect a credit for the time the service was down. March bill arrived and it was the regular charges. I paid the bill and assumed the credit would be for the next month and that is when the nightmare began. I tried to reach Verizon to ensure the credit would be updated and as soon as I enter my account number the call ends with a message asking me to contact #Frontier.

    I called #Frontier 4 times in April. Every single time I spent over an hour on the phone only to be advised that my account was not in their systems yet, however, I had already received a bill from them, with a new #Frontier account number and was expected to pay the bill in full again. How can they issue a bill and my account is not in their system??? Does that make any sense? I was told to wait a few more days for their systems to be updated. When I finally talked to someone about the issue that was able to find my account, I was told they could not find any records of a disruption in service and that I would have to call Verizon to get that credit. And as most of you know, when you call Verizon the call abruptly ends with a message to call Frontier.

    EVERY SINGLE TIME I have called to speak to someone, customer service is horrendous as many folks have mentioned on thousands of online complaints. I was transferred from department to department. Nobody would take responsibility to help me. Nobody spoke proper English in order to be understood and they could not understand my simple inquiries. I was hung up on numerous times when I requested to speak to a supervisor or placed on a SILENT hold, only to be disconnected after several minutes.

    This company insists on having the customers call them on a monthly basis to "adjust" the costs to where they should properly be. Why does it take them so much time to resolve simple requests? Your service is like a blood thirsty vampire that is sucking the life out of me. I dread having to call you to get anything taken care of.

    I thought I made some progress after someone finally agreed to credit me for the time I did not have service (to the tune of about $120) and said the credit would take a few days to be reflected on my next months bill. She then said she could not do anything for the current bill (May) and for the 3rd time in a row I was promised the credit would be reflected in the next months bill and yet agreed to pay the full bill for a third time in a row. Today, I received the new bill for June, for an even higher amount that my last bill, no credit whatsoever. Total failure. I will be doing anything I can to get out of my contract. This was the last straw. Sincerely, another frustrated customer. #frontiersucks

    Fortunately I didn't have the connection problems many people had when Frontier took over for Verizon. My battery gave out and I called to order a new one. Even though I was given reference numbers, the battery was never ordered. My third call to get it done or bust, I spent over an hour on the phone, the customer service rep couldn't get it done and was typing with someone else to find out why it wasn't ordered previously. Using a middleman was very confusing and I asked to be transferred to someone who could help. I was then told I didn't want to ask for a supervisor because I would be on hold forever.

    Finally I was transferred to someone who I thought was a supervisor and she did order the battery but couldn't help me when I realized they had charged my account twice this month and there was another payment pending. I was transferred again and put on hold. I got the billing issue resolved and wanted to know when my contract was up. This took another transfer, being on hold, getting disconnected and me calling back. I also do not like that they ask for your date of birth and social security number every time you speak with someone. When you create your account, they give you a pin but still want your social and DOB. My contract is up in 2 months and I am out of here. I LOVED Verizon and am very unhappy they did this. I always had excellent customer service with Verizon. Frontier is awful.

    I have transferred my services when I moved so Verizon overbilled me two months at $332 monthly which is double of what I am supposed to pay. Then I receive e-mail, "We overbilled you and we are sorry. The system will make the updates so just wait for the system to make corrections." OK. In the meantime Frontier takes over and I receive another bill on top of my $660 bill this time for $168. Little high still but much better than $332 a month. I try calling and was on hold for an hour. Did I mention as Frontier took over, I have not had service but I am getting charged monthly? New bill comes in $200.

    At this point my cable bill since February is $1000 and I have not had services in the past two months. I call Frontier to ask what am I getting charged for just to have the lady ask me for a pin. What pin as there was no pin. Well, they stated that if I received my bill I received my pin and they cannot speak to me without a pin. "What if I threw away my bill? What do I do then?" I ask. "Well, we cannot talk to you."

    My experience has been exceptionally negative. Service disruptions notwithstanding, their customer service clearly does not care about the customer. They don't care to deal with any account issues, they are currently blaming Verizon for all of my account issues (unauthorized additions of services). They have a hard time explaining why my first bill is $92, my second $146, my third at $116, and now its $94. I am told it's all Verizon's fault, that I must pay, and that they cannot do anything. I find it extremely ridiculous costs fluctuate so much when all I have requested for my account is 100/100 Internet.

    We purchased the Verizon Fios cable and internet for our new home. 3 weeks back Frontier took over this service and that was the worst possible thing that could happen. After they took over Verizon Fios, we have been facing issues since that day. We asked for a change in the channel pack and Frontier could not fulfill it. Instead, they stopped our service 'BY MISTAKE'. So, for 3 days we had no cable even after repeatedly calling customer service and being on hold or getting transferred to different departments. We had no cable for 3 days and still don't have it. Upon calling them again today, no one was able to resolve the issue nor could they send anyone to look at the setup box. It's the long weekend and we have no cable since the last 3 days. Frontier customer service is hopeless and so is the technical support. Everyone keeps transferring our calls to different departments but with no useful action being taken.

    Where do I begin? I was transferred to Frontier from Verizon on 4/1/16. Frontier sent me a bill for April that was due the first week in May in the amount of $87.40. I paid in full around 4/28/16 via credit card. Then a bill was received for May that did not show the credit for the April payment. It showed the April amount as still due as well as an additional $117.44. In the meantime, Verizon owed me a credit of $87.44 for some technical difficulties which was supposed to be charged back to my credit card. Apparently, they credited it back to the Frontier account. Although I always pay via credit card, Frontier states that my bank returned a non-sufficient funds check which they were billing me for and an additional $30 fee for a returned check.

    I have called twice, spoke via chat and emailed the CEO twice with no response; only runaround from people who hardly speak English and have some secrecy going on by Frontier where customers are not allowed to know what country they are in. Imagine that! They are screwing up my credit, won't listen, won't respond and we are not allowed to know what country they are in. I wonder why?? Why the secret?? Anyway, I never paid by check, even when with Verizon and I was only with Frontier one month, so what check are they talking about and what is it for?? Whenever did I pay them with a non-sufficient funds check when I was not even a customer until 4/1/16.

    Today I received a threatening letter from Frontier billing stated that if I don't pay them by money order or CHECK by TOMORROW they will shut down my service and charge me this fee and that fee to turn it back on. Also, I have excellent credit and these imbeciles will be sending a bad report to the credit reporting agencies for their mistake which obviously they cannot admit to. When THAT happens is when the real trouble will begin. They do not know who they are dealing with. I will do everything I can to make them regret putting me through this nightmare. I have done nothing wrong. I paid the bill and now I am being treated like a dead beat. I hope they do shut it all down so I will not have to deal with them ever again. Pitifully bad company.

I have been on the phone with them over a period of one month at least 15 times trying to get service for my home. Every time I speak with someone and get them my order numbers....yes more than one then they say the previous order wasn't completed so I have to start the order over. When I think my order is finalized then they come back a few days later to tell me I have to pay $185 for a deposit which I was told previously one wasn't required after they ran the credit check...not to mention every time they had to start my order over because it seemed to be always incomplete they ran my credit. So then after I was told about that ridiculous amount for a deposit I was going to have and wait two months to have the service installed.

    I told them to cancel my request because I had enough with them. My next option was Dish Network whom I found out after the fact they contract out with Frontier in my area for phone and Internet services. I was told they would mail me out a modem to self-install my internet and phone since the apartment is already wired with Verizon FiOS now Frontier. I just called back the customer service number I received and it was Frontier and again my order needed to be fixed! This Frontier rep told me in order to get my services started I had to send them proof of my identity so for me to go make copies of my ID and Social Security card and get it notarized and fax it to them. I have never in my life heard or known mess like this. All of this just for home internet and phone services...really???!

    And when I finally was able to talk to someone she said they didn’t come because they only have Fios in my new home area and that it would cost me about 200 dollars to transfer my service and also that my bill would increase another 50 dollars per month and to top it off they didn’t have an appointment until June.

At least Verizon should have given us a chance to refuse the service and cancel without their phony fine that they hold over our heads! My service stopped working on Friday, 05/20/2016 and is still out of order as of this writing on 05/24/2016. I stayed on the phone for 4 hours on 05/24/2016 trying to get my Wireless internet and TV service turn back on. They got it working for a few minutes and then hung up. Shortly after the service went out again. I had to call again and when I did the phone started acting up...so the Frontier operator said.

    She said my phone was breaking up and she could not make out what I was saying. She made me try other phones here in our home but had the same results. I was able to give her my cell phone number from another carrier in case we got cut off. WE DID get cut off after giving her our cell phone number. She tried to call my cell phone but when I answered she did not respond at all. She called one more time with the same results. I might add that the operator sounding like she was from the P. Islands. After that she didn't try again at all. I call for the third time and got another operator from what sound to again be from the P. Islands. She held me on line for several hours putting me on hold and "Rebooting" the system she said.

    But I have been through the rebooting process for the last 10 years even with Verizon. I can always see when they reboot the system on my end. This operating was not being truthful with me as every time she came back on the phone she said she was "re-booting" the system but on my end there was nothing changing at all. She was actually doing nothing on her end that would have showed on my end as it did with all the other American operators. After hours of her telling me to hold on she finally advised me that a field Tech would come to fix the problem on 05/24/2016 and they would be calling me to confirm the appointment. I stayed home all day and waited. NO call and no Tech has shown their faces here yet.

They told me: "We bought all of Verizon out, so we now own your contract". I do not feel that we should be charged early termination fees as Verizon broke its contract with us when they sold out to Frontier. We were given no adequate notice or options to opt out by either company, nor were any terms of the take-over explained to us.

    I feel that there should be a class action lawsuit against this company and highly advise anyone considering their services to go elsewhere and not get involved with Frontier.

In which I renewed my 2 yr contract with them thru the set top box a couple months PRIOR to frontier taking over. Then here comes Frontier. And my first bill from them is $108. Huh what. So I call. And literally the first day I was on the phone for a total of 8 hours. Yes I said that right. Eight hours. And in that 8 hours I was on hold 6 of them hours. 3 times to the tune of almost 2 hours each time. So I gave up for the night.

    Next day. Another 3 hours of my day gone to get NOWHERE and told "too bad so sad. This is what we show and cannot change it." So I email corporate to get a callback and told "I am sorry this has happened and we WILL fix it before the next bill. Please contact me personally if the problem continues." Ok. Great. NOT. Get the next bill. Not only is it 108 but they have added on the $25 that I did not pay the previous bill. As I was told... it WOULD BE FIXED and credited. Obviously this was just a line of ** to get me off the phone.

    As I called back today. And was told again "too bad so sad. This is how it is. Accept it or not." Ok I will accept it (till my contract runs out). However I know I cannot afford this so how can I make the bill smaller as again limited income (ssd) so I can catch up and keep it within reach. Downgrade, get rid of... ok I can do that. So then I am told that by downgrading, my bill will be higher than what it was.

    Really. So I am being penalized for them taking over and not honoring verizon's contract because they: a. cannot find it; b. did not get the records from verizon and best of all; c. my contract is not completely up but I still have to pay the extra $25 as again see point a and b. Also speaking to the rep - tried to explain this SEVERAL times for him to speak over me and tell me it pretty much will not matter if I downgrade or not.

For several months now, each time I make a long distance call, the call drops off constantly - no usable long distance service of which I pay for. Internet service is not working. They scheduled an appointment making me wait from 8:00 to 5:00 and didn't even show up... No call!

    The following morning a supervisor told me someone would be at my home by 10. No show. Then by 12:00 - no show. Finally by 3:00 and the person that arrived at our home changed the modem out 3 times... Really? I don't even work for them and know that doesn't make sense. The person that came last month didn't have tools with him and ASKED MY HUSBAND IF HE COULD BORROW SOME TOOLS!

    Today, I go to my backyard and someone (from the phone company) has disconnected a line from behind our home leading to a neighbor's yard and it's hanging through my yard at eye level. I called them and told them it's not safe and asked why they did it and was advised by CUSTOMER SERVICE they could not have someone come for 5 DAYS! Was reminded "Your service is working so it's not a priority." So walking into telephone lines at eye level in my yard is not priority? I'll begin looking for another carrier.

    I gave these guys a one star because it's the lowest it would let me. Otherwise I would give them a minus 10000 stars!! Frontier has been a pain in my butt since they bought out Verizon Fios in our area. I agreed with VF on a lifetime charge if I stayed with the company. When Frontier took over, I called and asked if they were still honoring the original agreement with Verizon. I was assured they would after sending them a copy of my agreement. Forward a year and my bill goes up a $1. I call and was told it was a surcharge... Everybody is charged. Okay, I'll let that slide. Forward 2 more months and the bill goes up $10. I call and they say that the cable has a price increase. I tell them about my agreement and they proceed to tell me there is no such agreement, never was, and basically calls me a liar.

    I can't find the original agreement and ask them why they can't look at the copy I sent to them when they took over. I'm told they don't keep paperwork longer than 6 months. So they raise my rate again 3 months later and now I am paying twice as much as what I was suppose to be paying for life. After swallowing this poison pill, my service is crap. I can't get internet connection more than 1 bar, just one room away. Smart TV can't be used because internet connection is constantly lost. HD connection of TV in the bedroom continually "loses signal". I am now on my third day of missing work in the past week, waiting for a technician to come to my house, because they can't give me any better timeline than from 8am to 5pm.

    When I call customer service, I have to ask for someone in the US so I can one, hear the person, and two, understand the person. Even that is going bye bye because tonight I got someone I thought for sure was located in Turkey but they were actually in Texas! I want to reach inside the phone and strangle the little pissant when they say for the umpteenth time, "I'm so sorry for your frustration and I understand your concern". THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS GOING TO JAIL when I reach through the phone and slap the dog piss out of you!!! I really think someone needs to contact a lawyer and start a class action suit against this company who does not provide the service that they charge for.

    I cannot understand how they can come into an area, be a quarter short of being a conglomerate, provide crappy service, get 99.999% bad reviews and still be in business. Total crap!!! I am about a hair's breadth away from switching services, but the only other service in this area is Comcast and they are ever worse!!! Time to put the belt buckle up a notch and drop cable all together and get an antenna. DO NOT GET FRONTIER IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE!!!

    Since the transfer of Verizon to Fios it's like returning to third-world service. We have spent countless hours on the phone with their customer service, only to notice our service is actually getting worse. Our apps do not work (we've been told for two months that "they are working on it"), our TV strength is horrific, our Internet is now getting slower (we pay for turbo), and some channels now tell us we don't subscribe to them. In the past week, we can no longer log on to Frontier Online because "we are not recognized." Calling does absolutely no good. We are at the point where we will pay the $230 to break our contract and move over to DirecTV. I cannot believe that the FCC has not done anything to help consumers with this situation.

    I was with Verizon for over 5 years with no problems. Out of the blue Frontier notifies me they purchased Verizon and they are my new service provider. That was two weeks ago. A week ago my internet went down and haven't had service since then. I work from home so internet access is a must! This has never happened! A technician was supposed to show up today to "look into it" but never did. Frontier is the worst company I've ever dealt with. Their customer service reps don't know squat. They are useless. Whoever said "Yes, we're ready for the Verizon customers, let's pull the switch", should be fired and never allowed to work anywhere of importance again.

    Flipping hamburgers may be too important for this individual. Frontier, you suck. I've cancelled my service with you and moved to Time Warner. I encourage everyone who uses Frontier to find another service. If you are experiencing problems now, then move. It's not going to get any better. For those who are still getting service it's just a matter of time before you start having problems. Move now before it's too late. I look forward to the day when I read that Frontier has gone bankrupt. Yes, I'm pissed. Therapy for me will be posting this message everywhere. Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop swearing.

    Without prior notice on April 1, 2016 our Verizon Fios, including landlines, Internet, & TV switched over to Frontier Communications. It is now May 23rd and our internet reminds me of dial up, landlines randomly drop, and the TV... well reminds me of when I was a kid and had local channels only. Except on certain days don't even have them! Can no longer DVR programs consistently, HD channels come and go. And On Demand, nothing is available.

    Our neighbors for the last 3 weeks have not had their landline, it's dead. Most neighbors have some kind of problem. And to continually read that the problems are rare. HA, that's because you can't get through to customer service, unless of course you want to take a couple of vacation days from work to sit on hold, only to get dropped after 45 min. and have to start all over. And if you get through, no one knows what to do, or how to help. And least but not last... for all the problems, lack of service we are having, the price has almost doubled! Not only upset at Frontier but Verizon.

Instead of fixing my phone, they broke the internet and the TV cable as well. The billing department mess up my account and overcharged too. I requested they review my account and it have been over a month, they still not offset the credit to my current charge. Every time I call in, I get a different answer.

    Internet service very bad as soon as it takes over from Verizon. I can understand... BUT.... Subsequently, numerous phone calls, averaging 20 min, makes me believe this company is totally incompetent!!! Unbelievable. I wish I could document every one of them, sincere attempts of mine to reach an agreement. They raised rates 30%, and service was off, and after weeks on again.

    Updated on 07/29/2016: Sorry, it's difficult to be accurate. Since April 15, when it switched from Verizon (who I had for many year with no problem), I have been on the telephone too many times with horrible service, with one exception. I called to cancel service. The representative was helpful, promised 54.99/mo for internet only... Then I have received bills all over the place and impossible to reach a human to help. All I do is call, wait forever, and then get a message to call back in 3 hours. I'll cancel... Definitely this time!!

    After my landline switched from Verizon to Frontier my phone did not work for two days then worked again and now is not working AGAIN. I am a senior citizen with health problems and although I do have a cell phone the service is sketchy and not very reliable so I really need my landline in case of an emergency. I have spoken with, what I laughingly call "technicians" from Frontier. The first one told me the problem was a "switching" problem... whatever that is. He said it was a problem "at my end but probably not with my internal phone line". It was obviously something from Frontier's end. Then after two days my phone was working again. Another "technician" called me and told me they would schedule someone to come out to my house. I told him my phone was working again. He said to call him back if there were further problems.

    This morning my phone is dead... again. I call "Mike" at ** again and explain the situation. He told me they had left a repair slot open for me but gave no other info about this. This afternoon, after seeing how cruel this whole thing is I called "Mike" again and got a recording that said: "This person has not set up a voice mail box". SAY WHAT?

    Frankly, I have NEVER encountered a company like Frontier. It is almost like they WANT a Class Action Law Suit started. I mean this situation is unbelievable! I really want to tell Frontier to cancel my service and then go F themselves but until I can find another landline company I am stuck with Frontier. I don't want a bundled, expensive set up as I have wifi for my internet which is really cheap. I have an Amazon Firestick and can watch all the stuff I am interested in through that. Does anyone know if there IS a Class Action Lawsuit going against Frontier at this time?

    For 3 weeks now I've been trying to resolve a problem regarding my service and Frontier Communications. I called Frontier approximately 3 weeks ago to inform them that I was cancelling service as of June 1, 2016 due to moving out of the Tampa Bay area and to an area that does not support Frontier. I needed to get my 2 receivers and one DSL modem returned back to Frontier before leaving the area. Instead of sending me 3 empty boxes and return labels, I got 3 more receivers and no return labels 2 weeks later. So, instead of trying to return 3 pieces of equipment I now have 6 items that have to be returned!

    When I called complaining about this mix up last week, I was assured that the necessary boxes and 6 return labels would be delivered to my house. When the boxes arrived, there was only one box for the receivers and only 3 labels for 4 boxes that have to be returned. Upon calling customer support this morning, Sunday, May 22, 2016, the gentleman on the line said that I could pack 3 receivers into one box and use one of the labels, but, if anything happened to the 3 boxes that I packed I would be financially liable for any damage.

    I asked how long it would take to get the 4th label and he said 5-7 days in the mail, after I told him that I was leaving the area in 4 days and that my mail has already been forwarded to my new address. This did not seem to matter to him and that I was still responsible for getting the items back to Frontier. As I tried to explain to him, and apparently he didn't want to try to resolve the issue that was caused by Frontier's mistake in the first place, all he would say is that I would be financially liable for any damage that may occur during shipment. I heard "horror stories" about Frontier from family members who have had Frontier in their state, but nothing prepared me for the ineptness that this company shows towards its customers. I will ship these items through UPS and am glad to say that my new home is NOT served by this company!

    From my understanding the transition stemming from Frontier Communications' acquisition of Verizon's FiOS network assets took place on April 1st, 2016, and since that time [THOUSANDS] of complaints spanning across three [3] states has been levied at the struggling telecommunications company. These particular states are California, Florida and Texas.

    I'm a resident of the Dallas Fort-Worth metro area, and my personal experiences with Frontier Communications' perpetual disruption in services began early May 2016. As of late, my television services in particular have been either in or out [meaning substandard consistency in playing time and/or total outages], OR when services [are] available they've been dysfunctional at best [i.e. unable to maintain a continuous signal, loss of guide, menu, channel-changing, on demand and DVR functions]. Moreover, what's been particularly upsetting is that the loss of service functionality has wiped out my prerecorded programs and scheduled recorded programs via the DVR services.

    My complaints regarding customer service tend to mirror what I've been observing from other consumers of Frontier's services [i.e. language barrier due to outsourced customer service to foreign regions, distorted reception when speaking with customer service reps, incompetent customer service reps at the technical department levels in that they were unable to either satisfactorily identify, troubleshoot or communicate any significant technical details about my failing services, Frontier's failure to maintain scheduled appointment times to resolve technical issues at residential locations, billing concerns, online payment difficulties and/or estimated time-frames wherein services would be fully restored without further interruptions].

    This whole migration of Verizon's FiOS network [at least pertaining to the states of California, Florida and Texas] has been an utter disaster in my opinion, which poses the question; WHY isn't the Federal Trade Commission's [Bureau of Consumer Protection] investigating Frontier Communications for allegations of negligence and fraud?

    Some consumers has stated that Frontier's poor management of Verizon's FiOS hand-off rises to the level of a class action lawsuit, and as a result have turned to organizations like ConsumerAffairs in hope of either instigating such a lawsuit and/or acquiring some form of relief; while other dissatisfied consumers have turned to social media websites using them as a medium to scold and shame Frontier for its recent shortcomings.

    Some may even suggest that perhaps the U.S. Justice Department should look into Frontier's business practices, and reward the most affected consumers damages [both principal and punitive] if it is determined that their livelihoods were seriously degraded as a result of Frontier Communications' poor management of its FiOS migration. All considered, I wonder will any authoritative body or regulatory committee force Frontier Communications to credit consumers' accounts for the services they've lost, wherein the entire botched transition has been [categorically] no fault of their own.

    Without prior warning our landline wasn't working. Unbeknownst to us our calls were being forwarded to our cell phone... Surprise. We made numerous attempts, nine phone calls plus but so many I can't remember now, to Frontier to resolve our home telephone problem never speaking to the same person twice. In the middle of all this we were transferred to some moron in Florida who started treating our issue as a new account and in frustration I told him to never mind and ended the call. We have been a FIOS customer for many years, love FIOS in fact, and all we wanted to do was resolve our telephone issue. We continued to call the help number until we found someone who finally understood the problem and opened a work order for us.

    In the meantime we received boxes in the mail to return our FIOS equipment, thinking this was some mistake because we have a work order in process, but days later our service was discontinued to our bitter disappointment. Now? I have an Early Termination bill of $122 which I refuse to pay since I didn't request such. We had Frontier as Oregon residents years ago and we were not impressed with them back then but we thought we'd give them a chance but it seems nothing has changed. Class action? I'm in.

Is it 1 day, 1 week, 1 month? I turn my tv on everyday to get disappointed every time. Yesterday turned on my TV and found out not only my channels aren't working still but now all my recordings are erased... gone!!! Whats next???

I did not ask for this!!! Worse service ever. Their staff doesn't even know what's going on. All they wanna do every time I call is remotely troubleshoot the cable box, then doesn't work then tell me need to wait.

    Was on the phone with Verizon/Frontier for an hour speaking with a service rep then a supervisor. Have had continuing issues with my printer and computer not syncing through the wifi, now I can't access Netflix or HuluPlus. :( The rep kept telling me it was a problem with my TV and not their Internet service, although everything was working fine before the changeover. I figured out the reason is because the tv is not connected to the Streaming Server. The supervisor tells me my account isn't "marked for that service" and that they don't "see" that I have either Netflix or HuluPlus. If I can't connect to the appropriate server, how do they expect to see them?? His tone was that I was lying to him, even though I've had both for several years.

    The supervisor then instructed me to call Customer Support during regular business hours to have the Streaming Server reinstated. I asked how long that would take and he waffled, used "transparent" (he threw that one around a lot!) and finally said that "customer support would be better able to answer". I initially signed up with Verizon in March and was not told of the impending change to Frontier, which I mentioned, along with the fact that I never received notification that I was losing the ability to access Netflix and HuluPlus - which I'm paying for but can't use now - and asked why. Needless to say, did not receive kind of satisfactory answer.

    Extremely disappointed in Verizon for not being forthcoming and not giving the option of continuing as a Frontier customer. And Frontier needs to get their act together! Customer service is atrocious. If they can't provide the service we signed up for, and had as Verizon customers then they shouldn't be allowed to penalize us for leaving.

    On Monday my internet and phone were discovered to be out. I want preface this by saying I have autopay. I find, after many transfers (in the Philippines) which did not excite me since I am in the USA, that there were two accounts associated with my number. One had a negative balance (meaning they owed me money) one had a positive balance (meaning I owed them money). I could not for the life of me and after asking SEVERAL times to be routed to the USA they refused and insisted on handling my account. They took another $104 and said my service would be restored immediately. That did not happen. On Tuesday I called again. This time got a call center in the USA, they said it shows it should be active within the next 24 hours, give it a little time.

    On Wednesday I called and found out that I should have never made that $104 payment on the Internet site because it did not credit my account. And that there was an issue with my router. The lady on the phone walked me through all sorts of rebooting techniques to no avail. She then told me a tech would come out on Thursday and restore it from the jump station. Either he never showed or it didn't work because I called back that evening and they then promised - yes PROMISED - that a tech would be out Friday between 9 am and 5 pm and would fix it. He never showed, he never called, still not working. I called this morning. Here we are Saturday and I was told - guaranteed that a tech would be out today - Saturday. Here it is 4:22 and no tech. I have asked to speak to supervisors numerous times and I am told, "There is nothing a supervisor can do that I haven't already done". They refuse to transfer me.

    I am on hold again and this person again said the same thing when I asked to speak to a supervisor and now she is calling dispatch back and asking if the tech is authorized overtime to attend to tickets that have been sitting in the queue for awhile (like mine). I have asked for dispatch supervisor number and have been denied. If they won't let me talk to a supervisor or a supervisor can't do any more than what they have done, why have supervisors? Now they are saying, "We promise we will have someone out there tomorrow!" This is the only internet provider in my area, so they have us over a barrel. I have lost so much money this past week.
