    I spent 1 hour on the phone to get my order completely lost in the system. Ordered 1GB internet upgrade from 200MB service and was told I didn't need to change my router or modem because mine is capable of the higher speeds... "Expect it to be completed by the 12th. Its just a service order switch at our end"... On the 14th I still have same speed on speedtest.net. Call into Service center on a Saturday morning. Hold time, 45 minutes.

    Finally the service gal tells me the order isn't in the system, can't even see what I see with the order number... It's not there. I can see it in my Fios App on my phone and the status shows "completed on 12/12/19". WTF? PLUS to make it worse, this new gal tells me a service technician is required to do the upgrade at my house, and it will be $75 for the service call. Then to make it worse, she tells me it's now going to be $25 more per month than I was originally quoted. So I spend $290.96 plus Tax and Fees to giving them more business, and I have to pay for their tech to come out when I have already confirmed that I have the latest equipment... Huh? What a racket!

    Your installation crew came out after leaving your Fios wiring a mess for the last couple of years and sprayed dirt all over my white car while they where digging it out.. Then denied it was them, when I have pictures of their tools laying a foot away from my car.. One guy walked away and ignored me and one guy denied. Said it wasn't his problem.. This in a nutshell is the problem with Frontier.

My services was disconnected for nonpayment however We made payment in full still Not able to dial out long distance. I've spoken to at least 4 agents that were able to tell me that there is long distance service on the account but NO one seems to figure out why long distance calls are not going through. Kim from tech support transferred me to Nick in customer service only for Nick to ask me did Kim troubleshoot anything. This is what frustrates Me as a customer. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!

    Updated review: Dec. 12, 2019

    The issue was amicably resolved, but it took many phone calls and literally hours of discussion to get there. Had any one of the many people I talked with in the last three months been able to provide accurate information, I wouldn't have had to go through this needless process. As noted, I called in advance of terminating the service to make sure it went smoothly. It wasn't until the day I received the call from the collection agency, and spent four hours on the phone, being passed from one person to another, that I finally was able to talk with someone who was able to explain everything, and to go to bat for me. I'd like to say thanks to her here, but I don't want her to get fired.

    At this point, I can't help but wonder, why is that until the end, response to my calls was casual, but this public post gets instant attention?

    Original Review: Dec. 11, 2019

    We had been with Frontier forty years. The phone service was fine, but their internet service was terrible - download of 6mbps on a good day - so when a new provider became available, we switched companies. I called in August, in advance of the change, to discuss the process, hoping to avoid any problems. I was told it would take until the 22 December bill for everything to work through the system.

    Each month thereafter, I got a new bill, and each month I called to talk about the final amount, and each time, I was told I had to wait until December for the final settlement. Despite having been told many times that we had to wait until 22 December for the final bill, Frontier sent my account to a collection agency early in December. I got a call from a collection agency one morning, threatening to file a report in my credit record unless I paid them. I called Frontier, and talked with, literally, at least six people, each of whom told me the final balance wouldn't be known until 22 December. I will give them credit for having reduced the termination fee, even though I thought it odd that they would even ask for it after having been with them forty years.

    We gave up after various outages and horrible tech support. Finally we moved to Spectrum. Not what we wanted but had to do. Then when we wanted to cancel they charged us an extra month +$10. What! Then they wanted the router back but we had to pay. I was transferred five times to get the account canceled. Five times and 40 minutes. BAD BAD Company to deal with. Avoid.

    I will start by saying that Frontier deleted my post and blocked me on Facebook for posting this: Called to cancel my service 4 days into my billing cycle. They won't prorate bill. I am stuck paying for a full month at $183 plus a $10 disconnection fee and they won't shut me off till Jan. 3rd. It's Dec. 10th. That is horrible customer service! The fact that I have to pay for a full month only 4 days into a billing cycle for crappy service (cable cuts out all the time & internet super slow) that I do not want is utterly ridiculous! Especially after being a loyal customer for 6 years.

    I would not recommend Frontier to anyone. They also rape you once promotional fees end. The right thing to do is have my final bill prorated like any other customer friendly company would do. I have no contract. Oh and they wouldn't connect me to a supervisor when I was clearly calling into a call center. I am now stuck paying two cable bills for this month. Horrible Customer Service & Policies!

    When I transferred my service to 91402 from day one they couldn't get it to work. The initial set up they showed up at another address and connected service there. Once I called to inquire about their arrival that's when I found out they had already finished. They then rescheduled me but I had to wait a week. They did the installation and my internet keep dropping. When I called their phone support said the modem was not connected correctly. They sent a tech out about 6 times but keep in mind they never showed up during their scheduled time frame or even day. After a month of no service I became very impatient as I work from home and it was affecting my work and my sons schooling. They said they would send someone out on 11/30/19. There was no show but technician called me at 11pm to say they were very busy and would come out on 12/5/19.

    I called Frontier and they said they had me down for 12/6/19. The point I'm wanting to make clear is they gave NO sense of urgency to my situation and kept putting me off. I finally had enough and wanted to cancel service. When I contacted Frontier to cancel they said they couldn't refund me for the services I hadn't received because the problem wasn't resolved and there was still an open ticket. Basically they were forcing me to continue with the charades of no service and tons of wasted time waiting for a technician to come fix the issue. I have absolutely zero confidence they could fix the problem which is why I continued with my cancellation and order service with another provider!!

    I cancelled service almost a year ago due to moving to a location with no service available. I cancelled in November, to which customer service pushed to the next year and charged me for December as well. I had friends who lived there after who paid service for November and December as well, but Frontier insist that I still owe them for December. As I did not receive the letters because of my address change and my understanding I was off their service, the only way I found out the charge had gone to collections was on my credit score.

    I have since called to get this fixed with now TWO different representatives telling me they’d take care of it to no avail. I have not been able to lower my home loan due to the drop to my credit, until I can get a letter from them proving the fault was on their end. This is costing me hundreds of dollars every month. This is not resolved. I highly suggest avoiding service, or taking very detailed notes on your cancellation to avoid the headache that I’ve been put through. They want me to contact collections again, even though they told me Frontier had to deal with it. I’m just getting bounced back and forth.

    Frontier has frustrated me beyond what any business ever has. I started service in August and for my first scheduled appointment, the tech never showed. They came one week later after I had called to reschedule. My internet was installed incorrectly by that technician and broke after 3 weeks or so of starting service. So when I had a technician come out (another call with ~25 min of holding and scheduling an appointment) the guy told me that whoever installed it gave me too high of a speed for what our area could get so he switched some cord out or pushed a button or something. No new equipment or anything; he was at my house for about 3 minutes. He gave me no detail about what he did or what my bill might do. Well, Frontier decided to re-charge me an install fee of $75 and equip delivery fee of $10.

    Have called about TEN TIMES within the last several months trying to appeal that bill as it was so incredibly unfair. NOT ONE PERSON allowed me to speak with someone higher up who could help me. Each one said the same thing: "Sorry ma'am that's just the way it goes and the appeal is still in progress." Still have not seen my money yet. And each time I ask for an update they just say "we've been very behind and I will re-submit the appeal."

    It doesn't matter if it was the $85 they overcharged me or if it were 5 bucks... the fact is that this company has literally the worst service in the world and I feel totally robbed. I cannot BELIEVE not one person has been able to get their manager for me. I've never felt like this before with a company. In this day and age we rely on internet and in my area it's either Frontier or Wave. I think they know our options for internet providers are slim and it's a pain in the butt to switch so they continue to treat their customers apathetically knowing they will still get our business. PLEASE whoever is considering Frontier, CHOOSE DIFFERENTLY for your own sanity.

    Seven months of interrupted, slow performance of internet, internet outages. Several visits by Frontier Techs over the last several months. Numerous calls. Hours and hours on the telephone with customer service, hours of waiting for techs. Appointments awaiting tech service with ticket numbers two times no call no show. Calls from and to the "The President's Office" after filling a complaint with the MPSC. Nothing could get my line fixed. Today I fixed the problem. A defective phone filter. Techs didn't find it, I did. I contacted Frontier requesting credit for the defective service. At best a $51.86 credit after sending them $665?? And, to upgrade my service they want to make a $75 installation charge stick? Needless to say, I did not order the upgrade but instead said thanks and goodbye.

    If you have any other option, take it. From overcharging, to unreliable service, to issues unresolved after calling and talking to agents repeatedly, it's just beyond me. The latest was a bill that was almost twice the monthly average. Our service is unlimited in the US. The agent told me the extra charges were for call over the minutes limit. I told him we had unlimited and his response was "that's not what it means". Seriously! Evidently calls to businesses and directory assistance are not included in your minutes. Then there are the extra charges that just say "Frontier". It's unbelievable. Trying to get the bill sent to the correct address took 3 calls to Frontier. Trying to get the phone connected to the right apartment took over 2 weeks & many calls.

    I tried to contact Frontier to inquiry why my bill was so high. Their customer service could not help me because she could not access my account with a phone number. She asked me for my account information. But, I was calling for that precise reason. Frontier has not sent me a bill in quite a long time. I ask for a supervisor to see if this person can resolve my problem. She proceeded to hang up on me.

    Frontier Communications is the absolute WORST company. I have landline phone service and internet service through Frontier. This is not by choice, but by necessity since there are no other providers of these services in my area. I was without internet more days than I was with it during November. Sent me a new modem, but still no internet. Service technician scheduled to come out 7 days later. Had intermittent service for a few days then it went out again. Another call to technical support. They were unable to fix the problem over the phone so scheduled a service call for Wednesday, December 4th sometime between 1:00 and 5:00.

    After I left work early to be sure someone was available, technician was a NO SHOW. No call, no notification they weren't showing up, no reschedule... Called Frontier AGAIN and was told that the technician notified me at 5:00 that he wasn't keeping my scheduled appointment which is a complete lie because they don't even have my mobile number. Now I have to wait another 6 days for an appointment. Still have to pay for Netflix, Hulu, etc. even though I can't use them because I have no internet service. Got nowhere with customer service requesting an earlier appointment. So now others who called for a service appointment after me will have their service restored before me. Complete joke. If I had any other option, believe me, I would drop Frontier in a heartbeat.

    This is the second time we have tried Frontier. We signed up for internet service and the person on the phone said he would waive the installation and equipment fees (around $90). Just got the first bill and we were charged for both. My husband has called several times and was on hold for about 15 minutes. The system was down (the irony). Finally got a person to deal with it today and he said nobody would ever tell us those fees would be waived. My husband asked to speak to a supervisor and was told he is busy and would just tell us the same thing. He would not let us talk to a supervisor. This has been a frustrating experience.

Was told that there is nothing they can do to help out, previous owners contract expired (ironically) 3 days before we took over (ha!). Then they proceeded to tell me that the only thing they could do to help was to have me sign another contract - yeah right... we will never sign a contract with Frontier, worst company to be tied to.

    I have never complained or write a bad review about any company on Yelp. I was very disappointed about Frontier communications after calling their customer service multiple times. The problem is not resolved and their manager has not returned my calls. They don't care about their customers. I have upgraded my services with Frontier. Frontier Automatically sent out additional equipment without the notice or email. Then following months I was billed for unreturned equipment $200 in Aug, 2018, $200 in May 2019 and $500 in Sep 2019.

    I have returned equipment after calling their customer services. However, they said they didn't receive equipment from me. Fortunately I keep one of the receipt, I was able to tell them the tracking number. Then they only return $450 back to my account. I'm so beyond frustrated with their services and how they cheat on customer's money. Something is wrong about their billing and unreturned equipment system.

    I cancelled my internet because of the slow speeds and the outrageous prices. All they had to do was send me a box to return my equipment. What do they do? They send me a new router? Why would you send me a new router when I am cancelling your service? When I go on-line to request a box, they say that no boxes have been sent to my address. On top of this, you can spend over 30 minutes on hold listening to a recorded voice telling you that you can go to their website to do what you want. When you finally get to customer service, they say that a box was already sent. I have no idea how they stay in business. On the other hand, I had to return some equipment to AT&T. I took the stuff to FEDEX, they scanned in the equipment, boxed it up, gave me a receipt, and 2 days later I had an e-mail from AT&T saying that they received my equipment. That is how you run a company.

    We first moved to CT in Feb. 2019, from our hotel room we called and ordered cable and internet service with Frontier. We were told that in our package we would have ESPN - we do not. We were told that the contract would be one year. Which worked out great since we should be moving states in a year. I called tonight to see why I was charged a $9 late fee when I have never been late, in fact always a week or two early. Find out that last month the bill went up by one cent, $.01. Did not notice it, it has been the same for all these months, so for one cent they will not remove the $9 fee. And to top it off find out that we were put into a two year contract, not the one year that the salesman said it would be.

    This isn't the first time we have had problems with this company. A few months ago the cable was not working and the internet was going in and out. It took a week to get a tech out here to fix it, with that being said, our first appointment with a tech never showed up and told dispatch that he did and I wasn't home. He straight out lied. They didn't quite know what to say when I asked if they would like to see the security camera footage to prove he never showed up. They said they would give us a $25 credit for the inconvenience and refund some of that month's charges since we did not have service for a week. Never got it. so, if you are looking for cable/internet in CT, DO NOT go with Frontier, they say anything but don't deliver.

    I give this company no stars! I ordered this service because I was tired of spectrum and their prices, boy will I NEVER DOUBT Spectrum again! This company misleads you and then puts the blame on you. I was interested at the time because they offered self set up; well I was told the service wouldn’t start until I set it up, I mean that was what the sales person led me to believe. Well I had a trip to take and I would be back for a month. I get back the package is at my apartment door. I check my mail and there is a bill for $90 from Frontier. Claiming I used their service.

    So I called Customer Service and was told I had to pay the $90 even though I never used their service because they couldn’t tell if I was using their service or not? Oh and then they said they no cable company can tell if you are using their services!!!! So I called Spectrum and asked their technical support if they could see if I was using their equipment or not. Guess what their answer was? Yes they can. How else could they know about updates or if it was working properly. FRONTIER IS ABOUT THEM NOT YOU. Switch to SPECTRUM.

    Updated on 11/27/2019: I got a message that Frontier has responded to my 1 star review from yesterday (11/26/19). There is NO response to my complaint and I have heard NOTHING from them except "Resolution in Progress" tagged to the top of my review. It appears that THEY CUT AND PASTE THIS TAG ONTO EVERY NEGATIVE REVIEW. See for yourself So, be very skeptical when you see this cut and paste tag. Good luck trying to get your issue resolved.

    Original Review: This company is great at PITCHING their internet, tv and phone service packages. But if you need service you are in for a losing battle. It is near impossible to reach someone on the phone who can actually answer your question. The game is one electronic menu after another after another. When you finally get to a human they are so poorly trained and without authority that they will waste 10 minutes of your time, not answer your question and then transfer you. This happens over and over and over. It's infuriating.

    BEWARE: they keep your entire last payment (even when you are not under contract) if you switch to a new provider even after the 1st day of the payment period. THEY DO NOT PRO-RATE THE LAST PAYMENT AND REFUND YOU!!!! SO if you pay your last bill of $200 and switch to another provider after a day, they just keep your money. I can't believe that this is legal; esp. given the number of lawsuits they've had regarding other consumer charges.

    Wish I knew this ahead of time. I would not have paid the last bill and let it be THEIR problem. Such an irony that a COMMUNICATIONS company can be so incompetent at communications. Their customer service SHOULD be excellent and their communications within the company inside and outside should be extraordinary. After all this is not a trash collection company or a pesticide manufacturer, this is a company whose main business is COMMUNICATIONS.

    On 11/6/2019, I called to cancel my service with Frontier Communication. I was told the service would be on until 11/30/2019. Last night, 11/24/2019, they shut off the service. I had not officially signed on with a new service yet, because I expected my Frontier service to be on until 11/30/2019. (I didn’t want to pay for two services simultaneously). I decided to call and ask Frontier for an extension, basically an extra month to give me additional time through the Thanksgiving holiday. I was transferred to “Amber”, who was very helpful. She said she would put in a ticket to get reconnected for 65.55 after taxes. She stated that my service would resume once the order # ** was processed.

    I was really pleased with how helpful she had been. I received a text from Frontier while I was still on the phone. It mentioned an installation date of 12/03/2019, which seemed odd to me since there is nothing to install when I already had the equipment and they only needed to turn the service back on. I asked for clarification, “Am er” stated that it had to be input that way to get the service back online. She reassured me that the service would be back online in time for the holiday. We exchanged pleasantries and disconnected the call.

    I was happy until I saw the emailed confirmation from Frontier. It showed the monthly fee including tax as 65.55 and a one-time installation charge, a 3-day prorate fee, and a equipment handling fee. This brought the total to 157.10! I immediately called Frontier back for more clarification, because I agreed to 65.55, not 157.10. The next CSR “Daniel” seemed very confused when I told him the story. He put me on hold a couple times while he researched the details. He ended up transferring me to a “Mark” with the customer retention department. Mark apologized for the erroneous order and explained that they did not have a way to turn on my internet without a new installation for 157.10 which is not what I was told multiple times. In short, this is not the first time I have been lied to by Frontier CSR, and I will NOT be using Frontier Communication again in the future.

    I was switched to Frontier when Verizon stopped offering cable service in my area. After a rough start, the service was okay. But in the last year, we have seen our internet get weaker and weaker, to the point where we have dead spots in our house. But, the worst situation, and the reason I am writing this review, is because of the customer service. In June of this year my promo ended, which included a number of premium channels, for a decent price, about $156 total. I knew it was ending so I called them and spoke to Megan and explained that I wanted to pay no more than what I was paying during the promo period and was willing to accept fewer channels, with no premium channels.

    After much discussion, we decided on a package called Custom Essentials that would no longer include sports channels, fewer channels overall, plus no premium channels. But, I could get HBO, ala carte, at $5 per month. And I would keep my DVR and set-top box. She confirmed that this would bring me to $134, plus tax. I asked would that be at around the same total cost of what I was paying before. She said it would be approximately $159 total. I agreed to this.

    But, the next bill was at about $175, but I thought it just took some time to catch up, so I paid it. Later, when nothing changed, I called again on 9/3/19, and spoke to Madison. We discussed the same items from my previous conversation in June. Again, we agreed to the Custom Essentials $129.99 + $5 (HBO) and tax. I got the same story, the bill would change to reflect the new charges, around $159 per month for all. She also said she would put in a request to reimburse for overage from July and would appear on next bill for August. But, I should call if the new bill does not reflect change.

    I called again on 9/28 about the current bill of $184, this did include a late fee of $9 (I was waiting to pay the bill till the dispute was resolved). She said that this was because it was after the bill was printed, so the new charge would not appear yet. Then she put me on hold, and came back on the phone, she said that when Madison (previous agent) put me on Custom Essentials, it actually cost more than what I was paying under the promo. This didn’t make any sense, based on my numerous calls previously, so, she scheduled a call with a supervisor on the next Monday. That call never came.

    In October, my bill was up to $572.02. This included an unpaid bill, so I paid that. So, I called again and spoke to a supervisor, Ronel. He was not at all helpful, and, actually was rude, implying that I was fabricating and/or exaggerating, by saying that my story didn’t match up with their records. He said that all was correct and that was how much I owed. I asked Ronel why I was being charged an extra $216.91 for FIOS Double Play and he said that this is for Partial Month Charges. He wasn’t able to explain that to my satisfaction. To me, it doesn’t make any sense.

    Further, he said that the taxes and fees were the reason my monthly fees were higher. If this is the case, the previous agents should not have told me that my total fees would be $159. I have since paid all of my monthly fees, but not the $202. From the very beginning of this saga, I was very clear about needing my total charges to be close to what I was paying before the promo ended. And, they were very clear that they understood what I was asking for and that the total amount would be around $159

    Finally, in November, the charges on my bill reflect what we agreed upon way back in June. I am up-to-date on my payments, even paid the higher bills than what I agreed to back in June. But, the outstanding fee of the following makes no sense. PARTIAL MONTH CHARGES AND CREDITS. FiOS Double Play 06/30-10/03 $322.74. Credit for FiOS Double Play 09/04-10/03 -$120.0.

    I was so fed up at this point, I contacted my lawyer, and they sent a letter to Frontier. I have not had any response, and the over $202 remains on my bill. Frontier suspended my cable service as of November 21. I still have internet but no cable. They did not inform me of this action, I found out by turning on my TV. I would accept all of this baloney and move on, but am unwilling to pay the over $202.74 that they say I owe. If I have paid all the bills they say I owe, which are more than what we agreed to in June, etc., then what is this amount for?

    In a nutshell...not the first time but, the most recent, we lost phone service for 2 weeks and were told we would be credited for the time we were without service. An appointment was scheduled for a tech to come out in 2 weeks. We periodically checked the phone during this time in hopes that service was restored, to no avail. Finally, service was restored 2 weeks later and we never saw or were contacted by a tech. When I contacted the company to find out where the credit was I was informed that the credit was denied due to lack of evidence that we were without service. Now, the outage was reported immediately when service was lost and we contacted the company when service was restored to establish the credit we were due.

    The customer service representative calculated the credit due and informed us that it would show on the following billing cycle. She had the records of the initial report and had the date the service was restored in the computer system, yet, they claim there is no evidence to support the claim. I hate to spend my time in court but, I feel I am left with no choice. This company is dishonest and is not providing the service we pay for, on time, each and every month.

    FIOs TV stopped working, after multiple fruitless calls requested a service tech be sent to assist. At this point internet connectivity became unreliable. After 24 hours of issues was told no service tech was available for another 48 hours. if you drive by any Frontier location there are 20 plus vans fully equipped just sitting in the lot.

    I have had internet with Frontier Comm for quite a while and the internet service and customer service has kept getting worse and worse. My internet is intermittent and whenever I call for service I get 15 minutes of up-sale pitches and transferred repeatedly before talking to a service rep. With my service being intermittent it will come back on during this long ordeal and service tech always state they have fixed it. I repeatedly tell them no it's an intermittent problem and that it came back on it's own because they can never tell me what they did to fix it. Ultimately I'm put on hold and then a few minutes later it's click and a dial tone.

    If they spent as much time actually troubleshooting the service as they do trying to sell me a more expensive package my problem would be fixed. Additionally they charge $10 to disconnect your service and you have to watch your bills because they will frequently charge you a higher amount and you have to go through a 20 to 30 minute upsell call to get it straighten out and multiple transfers between departments.

    Worst communications company I have ever dealt with and I'm almost 60 and retired military so I've dealt with many, many communications company. My advice is stay away because they are not worth the headache. The first hint of a bad company is when they do not published a phone number or email address to their corporate office. This always seems to be done to prevent customers from being able to reach someone other than their sales/technical department. Google to see if you can get a number or email to their corporate office and you will find out the number they list is to their sales department.

    Within the last 2 months, I've talked to Christain and others but he was not helpful. He went through the regular fixes i.e. channel changing, PPoE, etc etc. They sent a tech out that did no diagnostics and just replaced the modem. Since the last 2 months have passed I have had frequent disconnects in the evening making my internet that I pay for useless. I called the retention department and they told me they could only credit money back to me after a tech had come out to "fix" a problem. One person told they could not give me a credit and hung up. I called back and that retention agent magically credited me $25. Still have disconnects. I called a week ago after being too far frustrated and told them the same issues are still happening.

    After the "regular" fixes stated above the tech told me one of my lines was down, a tech would need to be sent out again making me take time off work. After he told me one of my lines was down and got off the phone call, magically my modem decides to tell me a line is down. (It did not do this before), this was line 2 by the way. The tech came out on 11/19 and fixed the line 2 issue. I come home and my internet is working. Only to be kicked off at 5:00 as usual only this time my modem tells me line 1 is down.

    A tech had been dispatched 2 years ago to "fix" these line issues. All 3 techs that have been out have told me that Frontier cannot handle the bandwidth to which they have sold to it's customers. We pay money to rely on the internet that everyone relies on to watch TV, do Homework, pay bills, keep in contact with family. In 2019 we use the internet for everything. I am pissed. So for 2 years they haven't fixed the "line" issue for me, with 3 techs and numerous calls. Frontier is the only option and I feel like I've been robbed.

Second, if your payments online go through but their billing doesn't allow it to go through on their end, it's your fault. Third, the representatives are not helpful. Sometimes, you will not receive bills, if you have paper billing and if they don't send one, it's again your fault. They stated I would have great service in my area and I have to be within 20-23' of it for it to work well. When I told them about the poor signal and they came out and checked it, they stated I would have to buy a $125.00 booster to boost their signal.

    The customer service is a joke all together. Every time day, morning, mid morning, afternoon, evening, whenever you call they will put you on hold for over an hour and if they transfer you, get ready for this, you will be on hold for another hour.

    Avoid this company like the plague. I started service with them in Fall of 2014. There were connection problems and they charged me for premium service but only delivered the basic speed. They adjusted the charges and I stayed with them. I have all my bills set to auto pay so I didn't notice when about 2 years ago they started charging me for premium service again even though I had the slowest internet they offer. Also, the internet cuts out at least once a day. Started seeing advertisements from other companies that were offering service for around 20.00 for their basic plan. That's when I looked into mine. When I told Frontier they said my price went up because I was a continuing customer (WTF?). Anyhow, I've since cancelled. These people were giving me the lowest speed and charging me for their highest for 2 years. My bad for not catching it earlier but that strikes me as abusing customer trust.

    They never showed up to install my service. I had to call back several times and it took a couple of months. Now, I asked them to cancel it as of Nov 14th and I am still receiving service that I am sure they are going to try to make me pay for.

Very slow where our phones or computer would load very slow. I have called them several times and it was always the same song and dance with them. They always said that they would try different channels and had to constantly reboot the modem. Constant packet losses while gaming. I really got tired of spending hours on the phone with them. So at the end of my term I had thought about bumping my speeds up and asked if they offered any deals for me to stay with them.

    The man I spoke to was too interested in my internet speeds to help with anything else. So I informed him I was going to another company as soon as my contract was done which was the following day. Which I had done. Then when I called them to disconnect the service because I had other service already connected. They wanted to know who I had gone to. I didn't feel the need to tell them. At that point I was told even though my contract was up that I still had to pay for another month plus a nine dollar disconnect fee!! They didn't do anything except turn it off from their end.

    We originally signed up for Verizon Fios. They were great. A few years later, Frontier bought the Fios franchise in North Texas. Frontier has the worst customer service. Most of the representatives do not know anything about how their network functions. Without a contract, our original 50 MBPS got more expensive. Faster speed options (200/500) were reserved only for NEW customers.

    I was able to talk them into a fixed price for phone and 100 MBPS, and the rep promised I could keep my copper phone connection. All it took was one visit from the upgrade tech and our copper phone line was gone and we got an internet connection that is very unstable. Two techs have tried to resolve the issue, but have made no progress. We've been without phones for three days. I called to cancel our service. Spending several hours a day arguing with Frontier reps on the phone who are disagreeing with the tech team at the house is a painful experience. Frontier is absolutely the worst.

    I currently have Fios Double Play and 50/50 internet, and have had it for the last three years. I've always paid on time, in full, never a late fee, pretty much a star customer. My monthly bill was set to go up in September of this year, so a few days into the month, I contacted Frontier about lowering my bill. The bill was supposed to go from ~$165 to ~$220 for the same exact services, and ~$220 was way out of budget for me. After talking on the phone for over an hour, I was assured that I would have the same services, and my bill would be lowered back to what it was from October 2019 to September 2020. They couldn't change the existing bill (the ~$220 one), so they said to pay about ~$166 (taxes included), and next month, to call and have them remove the $50 - some left over and the late fee that I would get.

    Come October, my bill is still around $220 for the same services, plus the ~$50/late fee that came from the month prior. I called and talked to someone, stating that I was promised that my bills would be around ~$165 with tax, and I needed the money from last month removed. I was assured that my bill would be lowered and it would take 2 weeks for the money from the month before to come off my bill. Awesome. I waited over 2 weeks, and nothing with my bill had changed. It was still ~$220 and the money from the month before was still there. I had to call someone again, and explained the situation. I had to talk to 2 different people, and by the end of that call, I was promised AGAIN, that everything was taken care of.

    Since I called a few days into September, I had to pay some prorated from the month before for the October bill, which was fine, and I was told to pay around ~$170 for that. Come November (this month), and my bill is over $300. My monthly bill was NOT lowered to the ~$165 a month. It is STILL stuck at ~$220. The late fee from September was gone, but I got ANOTHER late fee for not paying the October bill "in full," despite being told to only pay ~$170. And I now have around ~$80 in "money owed" from the last 2 months, despite being promised that my bill is now lowered and I wouldn't have to pay that extra.

    I tried to contact someone via their 'chat live' function on their website for over an hour today (November 13, 2019). And what did I get told? I got told that I had ASKED to lower my bill, but they never approved it. I had talked to 4 different people prior to today's chat, and was promised every single time that my bill would be lowered. Those were clearly lies. The associate I tried to talk to wouldn't work with me, wouldn't listen to me, and kept giving me the run around, when I would ask to speak to someone higher up or how I could disconnect my services.

    I am so scared this is going to go to collections, despite being promised several times, by different people, that my bill would be lowered. I even have proof. I have an e-mail from the very first conversation in September that my bill would be lowered from there on. I offered to send it, but the associate told me no. I would understand if maybe I wasn't a good customer, but no. I am at a loss, and am considering speaking to an attorney. All over wanting to lower my bill to around ~$55 a month.

    Original Review: Nov. 12, 2019

    I am extremely frustrated with Frontier’s customer service department. I called the customer service department on September 9, 2019 at 8:09am with Erica (I know who it was as I received a survey email from frontier) to discuss my increased bill. My promotional period had ended and my bill went from $144 a month to $184 a month. I was given the response that is normal nowadays, promotional pricing is only available for new customers. So I had asked if I trim down my services if we could get back to around the $144 a month I was at previously, to which she replied yes.

    We went through my bill and she assured me that removing those items would get me back to around the $144. I asked for an email with this and she said it would be in the order ticket area of my frontier account but it wouldn’t be there right away and to wait. I had no more questions and the call ended. I went to the order ticket area and it did show the changes we discussed, but not the pricing changes. About a month later and imagine my surprise when the bill I received ended up being $200 instead of the $144 that we had discussed on the phone.

    I called customer service again on October 8th at 1:36pm to cancel my service as I was very upset that Erica had lied to me and now I had an even higher bill than before. I did not receive a survey for this one but the person I spoke to was a female. I canceled the services with her and I asked her when I could expect a revised prorated bill to which she replied that I would receive a prorated bill once the equipment was returned (because if the equipment was not returned I would obviously get billed for that).

    I had thought the services would be on for the rest of that day at least but Frontier disconnected my services at 1:56pm, which is right around the time the call ended with customer service. I have proof of this as I got an email from my camera letting me know they were offline. The internet and cable were no longer working. As I was working from home, I then had to go out and get new equipment from Spectrum immediately, however they could not connect my service until the next morning so I lost a half of a day of work as internet is vital to what I do. I returned the frontier equipment on 10/10/2019.

    On October 30th I called customer service at 5:47pm, the person I spoke to was a male, once again as I received notice that the equipment was returned on 10/16 but I still hadn’t received my revised prorated bill and 10/30 was my payment due date. He then informed me that frontier does not prorate the bill and I have to pay for the whole month. I explained to him that my services had been disconnected once I got off the phone with customer service so I did not even have the ability to utilize the service so he said he would file a dispute and I would hear back in about 7 business days.

    I called customer service again on November 12th at 12:23pm, the person I spoke to was a female, as it had been 7 business days and I had not heard anything back on the dispute. She informed me that she did not even see a dispute on the account! I quite literally hung up the phone in tears of frustration due to the numerous times I have talked to someone and had been lied to. This is ridiculous how much wrong information I have been given throughout this process. I am willing to pay 2.5 days of the service period as that is all I had access to but at this point I feel like even that should be waived for all of the trouble I’ve had to go through to try and get this resolved.

In June 2019 I moved from Illinois to Florida in June 2019. I called and cancelled the service on June 6th. Later in June I received my regular monthly bill of around $46. I called and told them my account was cancelled. In July I received a bill for June and July. I called again. I kept getting a bill for $96.49. I didn't pay it because I had cancelled my account. Frontier turned it over to a collection agency. The collection agency told me it was an "Early Termination Fee". After 15 years they were charging an early termination fee.

    I called Frontier, and sure enough that's what the amount was for. They said I had an annual "contract" even though I never signed anything. If I leave before the end of the "contract", they charge a fee. I guess they know that a person who moves away and has other choices is never going to use Frontier again.

They showed up a couple of hours early so I was not quite home from work yet so my husband was there. In the midst of hooking my service up, they left abruptly. My husband assumed they would be back and concentrated on the DirecTV installation of the package, because they were at my house also.

    I called later that night to Frontier, because the tech did not return, and I wanted to find out when he would be returning. I was told the 21st of the month. I was extremely confused but since dispatch was closed, I would have to call in the morning to straighten it out. I did and it wasn't. I then was told if I want it sooner then I would have to cancel my order and get a new order and then Frontier would be there on the 5th of the month which was the following Tues. I rearranged work and so on but it never happened and when I called in, I was told that that order wasn't in the system and the one for the 21st was the only date. I work a lot from home because of health reasons and I needed my internet as soon as possible. I found no empathy from customer service or dispatch. I called another company today for my internet and will have to leave direcTV the way it is because I'm locked in. I will never call Frontier again for any service.

    I have had Frontier internet for 6 1/2 years. During that time I have had intermittent speed issues which until now have been addressed.

After two hours on a chat with a very helpful person who could not solve my problem I was transferred to technical support. The woman told me that the internet speed they stated I was getting is only guaranteed at the router, the wifi is not guaranteed at all.

    I am paying for 30mps and I am getting 28 at the router, but 8.1-21.1 through the wifi. The wifi router is Frontier's equipment. Obviously I am not pleased. I put the computer next to the router and on wifi still got poor performance even with only the one computer on my wifi. Her position was that does not constitute a failure to provide the service being paid for because they do not guarantee any level of wifi service. So I have been paying for high speed service but they apparently expect me to plug my computer into the router to get decent service. This seems absurd to me. To advertise wifi service with a speed rating but not support the speed is just wrong.

    My wife and I are moving and have requested a disconnect of our service on November 18th. Today, November 6th, our internet connection wasn't working, so I called Frontier to get it back on. Initially, I got technical support who told me that my account had been suspended, but they were confused because the 18 was in the system as our disconnect day. I was then routed to customer support. The representative, Rose, told me that the system has november 18th as our disconnect day, but that "someone" decided to shut it off today. I asked how is that possible, and can I please have my internet back?

    Rose said that she will make a request for my service to be reactivated, but it won't be for at least 24 hours. I then asked for a refund for illegally cancelling my paid for service and was told, by Rose, that Frontier does not give refund or credits. I then asked to speak to a manager about this as we have significant actions we need to take care of prior to a cross-country move. I was immediately hung up on.

    I then called back and spoke with Nita, who was helpful. She had to wait on hold with her own company for 30 minutes to research my problem and found that someone named Deruba ** had cancelled my service, but she couldn't tell what department that person was a part of, or if that person even existed, as there were no notes about why this person cancelled my service. She then confirmed that my service would be requested to be reactivated, but it would take the 24 hours. But, she said she doesnt believe that will happen and that I may not get my service back at all before my move! She then offered a $25 credit, which Rowe, the other representative, lied about. Overall, incredibly shocked and disappointed at Frontier for taking my money, illegally cancelling my service, and hiding their actions.

    I've decided that every time Frontier puts me on hold for an inordinate period of time, or transfers me to several different people who are all unable to resolve whatever issue I'm trying to get resolved, or disconnects me, I'm going to document it here so potential customers can see what their future will be like if they sign up with Frontier. Today, I tried once again to call Frontier, using the # on my TV screen (since I had a message saying there wasn't any technical problem with my service, there just wasn't any service). I went through an extensive phone tree to get to someone that might actually be able to do something, and the system indicated it would run diagnostics and it might take a "few minutes".

    And then it disconnected my call, again, just like the previous three calls in the last two days to try to get service restored. So, being the stubborn person that I am, I logged on and tried connecting to tech. support via chat. After asking me for several different pieces of info. from the back of the box, requiring me to remove it from the cabinet and practically stand on my head with a magnifier so I could actually see the very small font on the very small labels, I was able to record the 16, 12, 12 and 12 digit numbers she asked for. Seriously, do you really need all of these, with all of your computers, you can't just use ONE serial number that will provide all of these other numbers within your system?

    I have to practically stand on my head with a magnifier repeatedly for you to be able to try to correct a problem that your system created? I should emphasize all of my equipment is new (within 60 days, we upgraded across the board with high-grade TV, Blu-Ray player, Roku, etc. including cables), and all of the connections are solid. And, all of it has the latest firmware. But, I digress... She ran more diagnostics and voila, was able to restore the TV signal, but, now the On-Demand feature won't work. This necessitated that I unplug the router, which I explained would disconnect chat and my VoIP phone service and I'd have to start everything all over again with another Customer.

    Service Rep., (they never take your word that you've unplugged and replugged the STB or router already, you have to do it again because it's in their script and these people are unable to deviate from their script, which always includes effusively, hollowly apologizing for the repeated service disruptions, followed by equally hollow assurances they will get it all corrected (but not without having to speak with 2-3-4 different reps, and having to explain it all all over again, or being put on hold for interminably long periods while they seem to be taking their lunch breaks or attending staff meetings or something). She promised me that she would call me in ten minutes, to try to finally get this resolved.

    It's now been 49 minutes and still no return call (and yes, I've checked and my phone is working). So, once again, I am leaving another 1-star review, wishing I could give a negative star rating, in the hope that I can convince everyone considering signing up with Frontier that they should NEVER do business with Frontier as the only thing this company deserves is the be run out of business as soon as possible.

    The level of extreme incompetence, and lack of any desire to provide their customers with the services they're paying for demonstrates that this is a company that would do well in any communist economy, where they have a monopoly, and don't have to give a damn about their customers, let alone actually provide any real service or product worthy of the outrageous prices they charge, because quite literally, based on my experience, this seems to be their mindset.

    I cannot emphasize enough to any potential customers that they should avoid Frontier like the plague, as even if they provided their services for free, it still wouldn't be worth the wasted time, frustration and anger repeatedly having to deal with these incompetent fools over and over and over again causes.

    I am now once again on hold, and I've decided to put my time to good use by researching additional sites where I can leave reviews of Frontier to warn even more potential customers to avoid Frontier like the plague. This is what your horrible, HORRIBLE customer service has led to Frontier, people like me determined to document to others what their lives be like if they sign up with Frontier.

    I canceled phone service in Oct 2016. Frontier continued to bill me for it. I called monthly and each time, the promised they'd refund me the charges and would prevent me from being billed again. One year later, nothing changed and I finally canceled my service. I wrote to Frontier's President and CEO and his team finally refunded me the charges for the year of phone service I didn't have. After closing down my account, the President's representative said I would receive a box to send my equipment back. It never came. Frontier also re-billed me for the refund that the President's office issued to me. I called their customer service and they reinstated the refund but I don't have confidence this will stick. This is a really badly run company and I will never do business with this company again.

    Have a home in a very rural area of NY, Frontier only option. Called to install, tech never showed. Come to find out, the speed the customer service guy sold me on isn't available in this rural area, so the installation tech didn't show because he knew better. Called to reschedule and two weeks later got installation. But, ah ha! Because we are forced to take a lower speed, the installation fee is double. Multiple calls to customer support to get that fixed because it isn't my fault I cannot have the speed I wanted. Billing address wrong, multiple calls to customer service to get that ironed out.

    On top of all of this, each and every time I call different departments to get things fixed, I get the sales spiel. Always trying to get me to upgrade to the higher speed. Each and every time I tell them it isn't available in my area. The last rep told me I was wrong. Hey buddy, I live there. The topper when I took the phone survey at the end of that call IT WAS OVERRIDDEN and all of the answers were entered, but not by me. Surprisingly enough, you can guess this, all the answers were entered 10 out of 10 for excellent customer service! I stayed on the line and heard the touch tone being entered.

    Technicians are scheduled but never show up. Techs came on days not scheduled letting themselves into a gated community marked "no trespassing" without permission. They installed a temporary line and left it lying on the ground with the connections susceptible to the rain (it has rained almost every day for the last month). We are in a rural area and a cable lying on the ground is at risk of being damaged by wildlife. It remained like this for more a month at this point. A couple of days ago I found a young deer tangled in the temporary cable lying on the ground across the front 4 acres of the property.

    Some days I don't have a dial tone on the landline. If I am able to make calls out it is muffled, echoing, wind-like sounds, etc. Calls will spontaneously drop. We were told that the internet we ordered would handle 10 electronic devices at the same time using Wifi and all would be able to watch or download a movie without a decrease in the speed. We cannot download a movie on one device plugged directly into the wifi router, let alone 10 devices on wifi. Our wifi alarm system cameras are all the system can handle and they only use Mbps when they are motion activated. The sales rep was told we would have a wifi security system & we would be using the internet to make wifi calls on the cell phones. Now they are robocalling me because I refuse to pay for services that I am not getting in the amount I was told it would cost. In addition, I did not sign up for robocalls. On the last 3 robocalls, the line went dead in the middle of their call.

    Numerous FCC complaints were filed with Frontier lying about fixing the problem. The service was installed on May 26th and I am still having problems with them. The person assigned to handle the FCC complaint at Frontier, Laurie ** Executive Customer Relations **, is rude and unprofessional and refuses to allow us to speak with her supervisor. She has told us so many lies, including they don't guarantee wifi service (then why put in a wifi router?). She also said we are too far from their facility. We are less than 5 miles from town and live in a rural but heavily populated area. This is NOT too far. There are 6 cell towers within 2 miles of me and 4 antennas. The town has free wifi in it...Frontier is the ONLY internet provider available to us (monopoly?). Frontier and Comcast split the area so there is no competition to encourage accurate billing and good service.

    Ms. ** does not call the cell phone number of the person on the account that can reliably get phone calls but calls the unreliable landline at the 2nd home and only during work hours (some of us have jobs). She also informed me that we should drive into town to contact her when the internet or phone is out. REALLY!? She expects a customer to get in the car and drive 5 miles each way to contact her! So on the days, the router was reset 8 times I am supposed to drive into town 8 times to contact her (80 miles of driving) if I was at the residence or I am supposed to drive 400 miles round trip to reset a router so my alarm system will work! Finally, she wants me to pay full price for a phone line that doesn't work properly (have to repeat myself or ask the person on the other end to repeat themselves because the quality is so poor) or there is no service.

    I am being taxed for the ability to call 911 anytime I need to, but when there is no dial tone I can't! The place where the service is located in a 2nd home and we have had to make numerous 400+ mile trips to be there when the techs come or to go to the residence to troubleshoot the router because the frontier will not troubleshoot the hardware unless a person is at the residence. On 3 occasions there were appointments made to have techs come out - a 400+ round trip drive 8 hours of time- only to have them not show up.

    The part that is the most frustrating is that when we had Verizon to this residence we had no problems whatsoever. The Internet and landline worked great. Frontier bought Verizon's territory and the service is TERRIBLE! I've been told by a company that works on their lines that they do not maintain their equipment. As a result, their equipment is falling apart and customers suffer. Finally, the call center is in the Philippines and most of the reps there don't listen but interrupt and make assumptions about what you are going to say. The wait times are a minimum of 45 minutes and they insist that the call is made at the residence where the problem is (can't be done when the landline isn't working and there is NO internet).

    I wish I could attach photos of the router showing there is no internet available & photos of the outdoors where the “connections” of the temporary line and the disconnected permanent one could be seen by all as well as providing the recordings of the phone calls being disconnected mid voicemail showing the unstableness of the phone line.

    Solution. Fix the lines - run new lines if you have too. As of 2018 they have a net income of $643 million and total assets valuing $23.659 billion. A company of this size receiving government funding should be required to maintain equipment and provide the services they claim to provide. Train your reps to not lie to potential customers. Stop lying to customers and the FCC about what you have done. When a customer asks to speak to a supervisor send them to a supervisor. Make your customer calls after business hours instead of insisting customers miss work to speak to them. After all, if they were providing what they sold the customer there wouldn't be a need to have a phone call.

    Give me the full credit for the lack of services/poor service since I have driven thousands of miles, spent over a thousand dollars in gas, missed numerous hours of work, and spent at least 100 hours on the phone or answering emails about their poor service. None of this would have been necessary had they given me what I am being charged for and what I was sold. This is affecting my business as well as my daughter’s schooling. My disabled wife and child are not able to call for emergency services (I work out of town). This is a health safety matter as well. This is the person I have been trying to deal with: Laurie **. Executive Customer Relations. Frontier Communications. **. “I can help."

    I called last month to cancel to go to $34.99/month for 75Mbps with Infinity. I was offered an upgrade to 25Mbps, couldn’t lower my rate, but was offered free install to stay. Being the loyal customer I am, I stayed with them and took the time off work for the new install. When I get my bill, turns out the install was NOT free and only upgraded from 12Mbps to 18Mbps, not the 25 Mbps she stated…. Why would I pay a $75 install fee for a 6Mbps upgrade at $50/month when I could go to Infinity for 75Mbps at $35/month?? Plus, I find out the $50/month is after a $10 discount. So, I am actually paying more than I was. AND the hassle of taking time off work for a technician install. I just called and they had nothing, no sorry, no nothing, just that’s it that’s all!

    I must first state that the service we had was a landline only service in a northern Wisconsin area without any cell or internet service available. Frontier is the only option available. The service was for a part time seasonal home. The service started rocky with getting hooked up. The biggest problem was getting our billings. It did get straightened out eventually after paying late fees on bills we never received. They sent us a disconnection notice at that time for our first billing.

    We use only hard copy mailed billings that are paid promptly. It was expensive service with all the added fees and such. So we called to ask what was going on with the ever increasing cost. We were told that we could sign up for a seasonal service, That was in February. Sounded good! So we did that. Service was stopped as intended. We stopped getting any billings of any kind at our primary residence. From what we understood by their agent that was normal. We phone them in May to restore service. Service was restored. But we never received any billing after that. We waited until July and phone to ask about a billing. We were told we would get a billing with again late fees on billings we never received. But again we never got a billing.

    We got a past due disconnect statement of 209.64 on 8-26-19. We paid it immediately. We disconnected their service as of Sept 9. On October 11 again received a past due statement amount of 64.58, It was paid immediately. {This is after our disconnecting service}, with No billing details at all. I phoned them and asked for a detailed final billing. I was received today 10-21-19 and again shows late fees on the billing.

    In mid Sep. 2019 I experienced intermittent outages (so bad that I can't stream video). Spent 3 days, multiple hours to do on-line debug with their support (reboot, reset, etc.), finally a tech was scheduled but it will be 12 days later before that can come and check out what's wrong (too busy was the reason). The tech came and immediately knew the issue without even asking me and replaced the ONT. He said it is common the ONT couldn't respond to on-line update hence kept on rebooting. Then it works pretty good. Occasionally I still see outages for ten minutes but this is bearable. My guess it was undergoing on-line update.

    Oct 14 2019, I call in to cancel the service and I have to call in on the phone. Can't do that using online chat though there is such option. When I tried scheduled a call back and the system told me there is an error and I have to call in. Chat line only offer me tech support. Oct 14 2019, I called and waited on the phone between 3:30 - 5:35 pm PDT. That is more than 2 hours wait and the system told me. "All the agents are busy, please wait." Finally I have to hang up because I need to go to another meeting.

    I submitted a complaint to Frontier Office of the president and not sure what will happen. To cancel, I have to call them... but they put me on wait for ever....not end in sight. I may have to report sparks coming out from their ONT box and call the tech support on-line to terminate my service due to fire hazard!! Otherwise their tech will not handle the customer service issues. May have to make this into a serious technical issue to trigger their customer service to respond.

    Been with this company for at least 12 yrs... No probs really until Frontier just haaaaad to buy out Verizon. The past 3 years have been dismally frustrating. I pay for the fastest package internet. It usually goes out 3-4 times per year and takes on average 2-3 weeks to get back online. But frontier's crack band of snarky, miserable people make that time feel like a three week flogging from wet laundry while tied to a tractor wheel.

    My internet started slowing thursday. Gave it the courtesy day of two and let them know Friday and was promised to be contacted within 24 hrs. That person contacted me and asked for my "pin number". This number is a random number that they give you somewhere along the way. I have never known this number in the past and it has been no problem until darling Christina. She would not give me the pin, nor verify my information, nor start a complaint ticket - I have spoken with one of the frontier guys in area, and he was beside himself laughing at Christina's attempt to go far out of her way just to be as rude and unprofessional as possible, and he told me he could get in and fix it as soon as Christina either got her head out of her rear, or a supervisor caught wind of the transcript of the conversation and canned her the next day.

    At any rate, we are on day 5 now of this internet problem, and I have finally received word that frontier will transfer me to yet ANOTHER person to look into it, and they will not start a repair ticket yet. Note...... this is def not the worst interaction by far with frontier in past couple years. My wife and I normally screenshot and record the calls and play them for friends to laugh at later because these people are essentially reading scripted responses designed to elicit the absolute most misery as possible upon someone.

    First of all I was told the introductory rate was for two years and then after one year they made up some lame excuse on why they didn't have to honor that price. They claim they didn't get my first payment, even though I sent it through my online checking account. I offered to have my bank contact them, but they refused. So I had to pay twice for my first month of service.

    I decided to switch to a different internet service and was told that if I disconnected by the 16th of the month I would not have to pay for the next month's service. I disconnected on the 13th of the month. I was then sent a bill, had an additional charge placed on my account for a disconnection fee. I ignored it as the previous rep said I did not owe it. Then I get a collection notice, so I feel I was forced to pay so I did not get this on my credit report. I am still getting monthly statements, even though I received a disconnection confirmation number on the day I disconnected, as I called to disconnect within 3 hours of getting new internet service.

    I again brought up how my bank states they received an electronic payment from my account, but they still swear they never received that, even though my checking account and bank state otherwise. If I lived in a rural area and this was the only provider in the area, I would seriously consider just going without Internet altogether rather than deal with these people. Your customer service reps can apologize over and over again, but apologies don't fix diddly squat.

    This is the only internet offered in our area other than satellite. They took advantage of the government broadband grants and pretended to expand their quality service. I run a business from home and have been marginalized from the intermittent quality of this terrible service. CTC is close to implementing fiber optic lines.

    Frontier plays games...vicious games. I originally was with Verizon, when Frontier bought them out. My monthly bill quickly climbed more than $30 and they claimed this was the best rate they could offer. When I called to inquire about switching to another company, they disconnected my phone services without my permission even though my account was paid in full. Unbeknownst to me, when they disconnected my phone services, it made it impossible to get my phone number to go over to the another carrier when I switched to them 2 weeks later. They then played games for an additional 3 weeks stating everything was taken care with the porting of my phone number and my account being closed … UNTIL my account became delinquent. Then they charged me an extra month’s payment to turn my phone back on to have my number go over to the other company.

    They charged me a convenience fee because they closed my account and I couldn’t pay online. They promised to credit my account the convenience fee, but never did. They then billed me a "pro-rated" month’s worth of fees to my account claiming I never closed my account, even though I was with the other company. When I disputed the charges, they kept stalling by saying they would call back, waited a week before calling, if they called at all. They stalled long enough to "write off" my account and send it to collections. When I got the letter from collections, I called them back to say “what the heck”, only to be told, "Sorry we can’t deal with you anymore since we’ve sent this matter to collections." Really?!? HORRIBLE COMPANY!!! Go elsewhere.

    Frontier communications was unable to install services for my wife and I. The technicians were rude, and lazy. The 2nd and 3rd technician whom my wife spoke to laughed at my wife questions when asking about coming in to do the install. Frontier never apologized. We had a 3rd party vendor come in 3 times. They came in the first time after the first technician came in to install the services for internet. He was unable to find the fiber optic cable. The vendor arrived and said he could not access the attic because the apartment complex did not have access to the attic.

    Once we gained access to the attic by notifying our neighbors to allow access to the attic located in their residence, we had another vendor come in and do the fiber optic, drop cut. This company is called GSI and they work for Frontier Communications. He arrived and looked at the two apartment mine and the one next to ours and said he could not do it because the apartments were not the same. However this being true, the attic connects both the neighbors our apartments. My wife and I were in contact with a lead specialist to put our order on priority for having to wait so long to have it installed. The lead specialist named C.G ** would keep in contact with us for 2 days then stop answering our calls and texts.

    We later called Frontier numerous times to gain access to our account and schedule a 3rd technician to come in. C.G ** had us cancel this appointment to have them come on a Monday. This technician had the wrong address and we had to wait another week and a half for the technician to arrive on a Wednesday. They arrived and said the fiber optic was not there and tried to figure out if they could gain access to the bottom panel behind the apartment to locate where the fiber optic had been cut. He was unable to do this and left calling in the GSI vendor, same guy, who decided to leave without attempting to do a drop cut.

    He arrived on a Tuesday to tell management he would be back Wednesday to do the drop cut. He arrived on Wednesday and found the fiber optic cable in our bedroom closet that was THERE THE ENTIRE TIME. Frontier has technicians who come in that are not trained, lazy, unprofessional, rude and do not care at all for customer service unless everything is ready for them to install.

    I called Frontier communications and they denied my complaint, would not file it and minimized their role in the install. They told me they were unable to do anything and the individual handling my complaint spoke to their supervisor/lead and the lead asked them what stage my wife and I were in for install and once he knew we were still in the beginning stages, with no install, I was told they could do nothing about the complaint. I was told by the individual over the phone on October 10 at 5:10 pm, they only accept billing complaints. If you want to file a formal complaint regarding laziness, unprofessionalism, rudeness and poor training, they will not file this complaint, they will not take it seriously and they will minimize it as much as possible so you feel like it wasn't frontier who is responsible.

    We chose Spectrum. Spectrum will require your information and mail you your router and modem, or just a modem if you want to use your own router. They will deduct $5 from your monthly pay if you do. Frontier does not deduct any of their monthly pay or waive it if you want to use your own router or modem. They simply want your money for the least amount of work. They are only able to visit your residence at limited times based off where you live. This makes for busy schedules as my wife and I work and go to school. Frontier will not compensate you, they will not work with you to figure it our and it will take 3-5 associates to understand your situation and figure out what you need. It is not worth the time, frustration, stress, patience and effort to use frontier. I highly suggest spectrum or another service provider in your area. My wife and I waited one and a half months and received nothing.

    I ended my service with Frontier on 8/19/19. Frontier, of course, bills for a month in advance. When you disconnect your service mid billing cycle there is no pro-ration done for that month. I am responsible for an entire month of service, despite using the service for only 6 days. I wonder how and why they are allowed to get away with this. Not to mention that the reason I cancelled is that I had numerous issues over the past few years since they took over from Verizon.

    After I posted complaints on consumer affairs and office of president through frontier internet site, representative contacted me in 24 hours and it was impressive. They were really cooperative and give credit about the installation fee that I complained. I'm still waiting for repair but they are looking for solution for me. Actually internet speed in my area is much faster than any other provider and it is really good advantage. If there was no event like this I would recommend Frontier to my friend. I will be happy if this technician visit waiting time delay could be shorter.

    I started my service and multiple complaint about service. First of Oct. 2019 I did phone call to start my service and the guy told me it will be 'self installation' without 75 dollars charging and only 9.99 dollars will be charged for equipment shipping and handling (I have email and still fighting with representative about it). 4th of Oct 1 hour ago of appointment time, I got text message that technician 'could' visit if they need but nothing mentions about 75 dollars of charging. I thought it is UPS shipping guy that the phone guy and email mentioned. And it is now in my billing. surprise!! I don't think it is fair. If I knew about it, I might reconsider about using Frontier. I need response about this and I'm looking for other ways to protect my right as customer still.

    Second thing is out of service. 6th of Oct morning it was out suddenly. I don't know what happened. Just out. I called to 24/7 technician and they said we need to wait 16th Oct. Surprise again~~. Right after starting of service I can't use the internet for 2 weeks. For installing they dispatched technician in 1 hour ago although didn't even mention before. My wife is working with internet connecting her company's system and without internet it is really stressful and we begged to Frontier we really need internet but they didn't care at all. Remember this is nationwide call center and anybody can be victim of their service.

    I added TV to my Frontier services in April. What a mistake. They told me I needed a new router. Charged me $250 to install it and it never worked properly. For 4 months they bounced me from Departments. Finally the router failed and the earliest service date was 2 weeks out. They wanted me to go 2 weeks without internet and television. When I said that was unacceptable they said tough luck and "You can always cancel service."

    I called their competitor Spectrum and they installed new service in 2 days. I canceled my Frontier service immediately and they said that I would have to pay the full month even though the new billing cycle had just started. So I had to pay for over 3 weeks of service I never received then they charged me a disconnect fee on top of that! When I called for a refund their customer service representative told me too bad and I owed the disconnect fee. Worst customer service on the planet. Any internet or television provider is better.

    Our internet is cutting in and out so we made a call to resolve the issue. My husband was transferred to a tech and they took his # in case they were disconnected- they were, and the tech never called us back. The next phone call made by me this time involved trouble shooting for over 45 min. I was told to call back in 2-4 days if there was still no improvement. With no improvement we called yet again- this time we requested a services appointment which was made for 10/7/19 between 9am-1pm (even though I requested 10/4/19 as I already had that day off from work) several times. Before 10/7 Frontier text and called saying the service had been corrected and asked if we wanted to keep the appt. (IT HAD NOT BEEN CORRECTED, SERVICE CONTINUED TO CUT IN/OUT.) Every time we said "yes".

    On 10/7/19 when I had taken another day off from work in anticipation of a service worker coming to my home I made yet ANOTHER call at 1:20pm to see where my worker was. After being transferred several times I was told that the appt. was cancelled because their records showed my service was corrected. AT NO TIME was the service corrected and I WAS NOT NOTIFIED of this cancellation. To make matters worse, I was on the phone with Frontier for OVER 2 hours!!!! When a supervisor finally got on the line with me he said that the earliest someone could come out would be 10/10 between 8am and 12pm - ANOTHER day I need to take off from work (twice in one week d/t the fault of this company). This man said he could tell I was frustrated and tried of being on a 2+ hour phone call that he would do some work on his end and call me back- HE DID NOT CALL ME BACK.

    Today I got another text saying my services is corrected and would I still like to keep my appt. on 10/10, I replied YES and if it is cancelled again I'm going to cancel using Frontier. This is absolutely ridiculous. They should have sent someone to my home 10/7/19 even if it was not during business hours due to their error!

    I have a Frontier utility pole on my property that I first requested to be removed in July 2019. The first service ticket produced a crew that removed one of their two lines, and left. Four service tickets, countless phone calls, and three months later, they refuse to do anything. The customer and technical support departments are adamant that the other department is the one to help, resulting in a black hole of transfers. Requesting to speak to a supervisor resulted in speaking with two agents at the same time, with the same result. I can't cut the pole down myself because it is connected to the pole at the street, but Frontier refuses to disconnect it. Frontier service is an oxymoron, and I hope you can have WAVE service at your location instead.

    We have been out of all services since 3pm Friday 10/4/19, and I called almost immediately to get it resolved. I was told it's probably an outage but they scheduled a tech just in case. Soonest appointment was today (Monday 10/7/19) between 12-4. The tech came around 4pm today. Come to find out another tech literally unplugged our line and this tech is not/cannot re plug it until it’s approved by engineering. Supposedly it has been escalated. The tech could not tell us when it would be fixed or if someone would even be contacting us. So we are still out with no indication of when it will be resolved. We are missing school days (online) as well not having cable, phone or internet for at least 5 days. This is completely unacceptable. We have a smart house and this is disrupting EVERYTHING.

    I moved back to Frontier after 6 months or so with Spectrum on July 3rd and somehow they lost the request to port the number. We discovered it while the installer was here and I happened to notice the wrong number on the sheet. The installer was great, he immediately called the office and tried to get things taken care of. At the end of the day, I was told I needed to keep Spectrum for another 7 days or so which put it into the next billing cycle. So I had to pay an extra month of Spectrum to keep my phone number. Well, in the meantime, when my account got the correct number on July 11th and another service call, I was told the account with the wrong number would just go away.

    So at the end of July, when I was still there, I called Frontier. They said they did all the paperwork to make it go away, and told me to have a nice day, and if there was a problem, call back in August. Which I did, because there was.. and again at the beginning of Sept. Sept. 14th I got a letter from an outside collection agency. I called Frontier to find out what the heck, they messed around, still agreeing I had been billed duplicate for the same service. They told me there was nothing they could do because the account was locked, because it was already sold to an outside collection agency. They told me I would have to dispute it with the collection agency. Which I did..

    A week later, I get a call from the collection agency, Frontier knocked $49, of the $143 they had double billed me off.. Where and how they came up with that number is beyond me.. I was then told by the collection agency that I could not dispute the charges a second time. I then called Frontier, where I was, I assume accidentally hung up on by the first person after going back and forth for 50 mins with him and a manager multiple times and being told to contact the credit company and finally being told by him he would contact the credit company directly where I was on hold for about 15 mins before being kicked back into their system and starting over.

    So now I have about 8-12 hours of phone time in the last 4 months, and the threat of my credit being messed up, all because Frontier has made multiple mistakes. Every rep I have talked to agrees I was double billed, but I am still faced with a $94 charge after the adjustment they pulled out of nowhere, or my credit being messed up. I am so annoyed, I have sent multiple friends to them because we have had such solid internet service compared to Spectrum in our area, and they go and double bill me, entirely because of multiple mistakes on their part.

    Recently we lost connectivity due to a dug up cable. Knowing that there's no connection the technician demanded that we do all of their troubleshooting steps, power off, power on, etc. 40 minutes later, it was determined that the service was broken. After the service was restored, the DSL connection started dropping after we had a huge rain storm. I called again, but, before filing a repair order, the same 40 minutes of going through every single thing, when it's obvious based on the lights on the modem that there is no connection to Frontier. This time they dispatched a tech who came with a new DSL modem. Which fixed the problem for less than 24 hours.

    I called tech support again, and they told me to change the PPPoE password to (something super simple.) Gave an excuse that if the connection isn't stable the password resets to something unknown thus disconnecting the service. Less than 24 hours the service disconnected again, I contacted support. They contradicted what the previous technician said, gave me a different complex PPPoE password, stated that it can not be customized or changed. Which was an odd statement because the super simple password that was given worked for almost an entire day.

    Needless to say, every tech at Frontier didn't speak English as their first language. They were all difficult to understand. They all followed a script, but didn't understand how any of the technology worked together. There's no Tier 2 or Tier 3 tech support for enterprise (or any) customers. After you end every phone call, the last person you talk to goes into a diatribe about how it's important that they receive a good rating for their customer support. It would appear that Frontier only operates in rural areas where they're the only service provider, which makes sense why they place customer service is last.

As my service went on cable would glitch, internet would cut in and out. Unable to load wifi if I left room where router was. Several technicians came out and would do a few things. Not really solve the issues. Not to mention I had the bundle package and the phone was never connected. So I received 2 of the 3 bundles I paid for. The fiber line in the ground stopped working. They had to rerun a line through my yard which they stated was no charge to repair since it's their equipment. (Wrong. 6 months later I would receive a $350 bill for the 2 hrs it took technician to complete.

    I ended up canceling my service right after the line repair because the service became even worse and I need my internet for work. For the amount they were charging I better be able to use wifi in my home and without cable glitching. Believe me there was no lightning speed internet. Dial up from years ago would be faster. I would not have even wrote this review as I do not like to put companies on the hot seat however they send a bill 6 months later and it shows they just billed for line repair. I feel they were mad I canceled my service which I ended up paying several hundred to get out of contract and I'm so happy I did.

    Frontier Communications is not worth it!!! They are a bunch of IDIOTS that can only transfer you back and forth and never handle the issues!!! We ordered 1 extra wifi box for a new tv we got, they sent 4 boxes and they want to charge you us for it! We requested someone pick up but we had to take to UPS. They sent a label for you to do so, the next day we receive 3 more boxes!!! So again we take to UPS only to be told they can not process label shows delivered!

    I request they send someone for them. They want to charge $91 per hr to pick them up!!! So they screw up the request and they want you to pay them to fix their mistake! The manager would not take my call! NOT GOT CUSTOMER SKILLS! I wasted 3 days of BS with them and they NEVER fix this mistake they created!!! Who wants to be on HOLD with them for HOURS get treated like crap and not resolve anything! WASTE your day and gas going back and forth to UPS. Wait in line forever for nothing! ALL BECAUSE THEY MESSED UP! THEY SEEM TO FORGET THERE IS OTHER OPTIONS FOR US THE CUSTOMER! VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THEM!

    I cancelled my service on the last day of the billing cycle. The instructions I gave to the CSR were to cancel cable and internet, but leave the phone line open so that Spectrum could transport the line over to their side. Frontier cancelled the PHONE not the internet and cable, and when I checked back one week later after Spectrum complained that they could not retrieve the line, the error was found...sort of.

    I had to go down to one of their stores to turn in the equipment - and the man who assisted me found no record of my phone line in their system at all. The process started all over again. After spending two hours at the Frontier store office - I was told that the phone account had been re-opened, and would need to remain so until Spectrum finished up the transport. I told the CSR that I was happy to pay for the phone line - but that I emphatically had cancelled the cable/internet - and that I didn't want to pay for it. I was assured in person there would be a nominal fee for the phone bill. Then I received the "nominal" $125 bill in the mail...but was expecting a $10-$20 pro-rated phone charge for the phone line having remained open for a few days.

    I talked to two different people - both of whom I asked to speak to their manager, and they put me on eternal hold and refused to give me their managers. They were such "professionals" that I could have picked their voices out of a McDonald's fast food order line. Instead of attempting to resolve my high bill for cable, internet and phone - they told me "tough luck" and sent the bill to collections...which I paid because my credit means everything to me. I can't tell you enough what a craptastic sham this company is - and I can ASSURE you that they will go under or be bought out by some poor soul who doesn't know any better. This company will not be able to sustain the losses their poor customer service incurs for them. You get what you pay for, Frontier.

    I order Frontier’s fastest dsl @ 90Mb/s on 09/04/2019. Installation date 09/27/2019, 9am-1pm. Never showed up and was on the phone multiple times with many different reps all afternoon. I got the runaround and after literally hours on the phone was told that I had to reschedule because they had a very heavy workload and couldn’t make it for my installation. Now they can’t reschedule it until 10/11/2019. That’s five full weeks from the original order date and no guarantees that they’ll even show up then.

    I canceled and it looks like I’ll have to go back to Spectrum. I have never ever been so frustrated trying to order services before in my life. I should have known better because back in the beginning of June of this year I fired Frontier! At that time I had 25 Mb/s dsl and the modem’s processor malfunctioned and they couldn’t come out to replace it for at least three weeks! Service at Frontier is the worst I have ever experienced. They want their bill money paid on time but don’t expect any timely response from them on anything but billing!!I

    I oversee the affairs of my 92 year old mother-in-law and have had Frontier Communications out to fix her phone at least 6 separate times now for the same issue over the last month and a half. Each time they supposedly do repairs up the block, say it's fixed (which it is at that moment) but just a few days later the same problem returns (can't call out and outside calls get busy signal). No one is able to get a hold of her via her landline phone and she must rely on an emergency cell phone to call out and receive calls. This is getting extremely frustrating and it's a danger for her not to be able to communicate from her home. I seriously ask why a billion dollar organization cannot do simple repairs which last. Since Verizon sold off their copper telephone service to Frontier the quality of service and repair has dropped significantly. I am taking this same complaint to the FCC.

    I had changed the internet service to Frontier at Sep/13, after installation it looks everything is fine. I am glad for it. At Sep/21 4:00 PM, the internet connection was lost suddenly, I call the Frontier support, and with 1 hour calling, I got understanding it is issue should not comes from my home, and need technician to solve it. I was told the earliest time for technician is Sep/25 9:00 AM -1:00 PM, I am not happy for 3 days life without internet connection, but I receive the appointment as I did not have choice. On the Sep/21, Sep/23, Sep/24, Sep/25, I receive many short messages from Frontier to remind me the appointment was set at Sep/25, and someone 18 or over may need to be present.

    On the Sep/25, I take one day PTO to wait at home, nobody shows before 1:00 PM, I called the Frontier, and ask them whether I can go out for lunch, they respond their technician will call me half an hour before arrival, so I can free to go. Around 2:30 PM, I return at home, and at 2:58 PM I receive one message that technician has been dispatched, at 3:02 PM, one message arrival for that technician is working, I am glad for update. At 3:28 PM, I receive a message they missed me and closed my ticket, I have right to rebook if still have an issue. WTF, I stay at home to wait for the technician, had not seen anybody arrive my home, at least I did not receive any call from them. Then another call to Frontier, they just tell me they can not do anything now, and ask me to wait for them tomorrow. I have no idea for it.

    I do not know which SLA they try to archive, looks more like they did not know this; on the other hand, they did not take the service seriously, from my understanding, if it is their issue to cause my network wrong, at least somebody should tell me about refund. What I get from this story is they cannot be rely on, and I should think more about backup plan even it is just home internet connection.

Upon calling I was told by the rep I spoke with that I would keep my current promotion and it would be extended and my bill would not change. When receiving my next bill it was $10 higher than what I was told. I called and was told by the Rep I spoke with that the pricing I was told did not exist. I explained the situation and was told the issue would be escalated and phone calls would be pulled to see if that's what the Rep told me (even though current rep saw it noted in my account notes stating bill wouldn't change). I was told this process would take a week. It's now been 2 more billing cycles and nothing has been handled and my bill has gone up another $10 a month. They expect me to pay a higher bill each month while they take forever to do their investigation. Frontier does not stand by what they say and are liars!

    This company is a joke. I am not surprised by all the 1 star ratings!!!! I ordered internet service through them and never received it. So I call them on a Tuesday to set up service. I pay over phone and they set appointment up for installation that following Friday. 2 tech come out and were at my house 3 hrs before even telling me that they wouldn't be able to do it so they would have to reschedule and come back with right tools. Okay so, the weekend come and go and no call or anything from them on Monday. So I call them and spoke with a lady on the phone.

    After 45 minutes of them saying they didn't have an account for me she finally finds it when I give her my order number. She looks over order and informs me that she was gonna get someone out here the next day between 9am and 1pm to finish installation. Okay so, the next day 1pm came and went and no call no show from techs. So I call them again!!! This time spoke with a guy and went through the same thing with him for about 45 minutes. After all this time of course transferring me from dept to dept I am utterly pissed!!!!! He finally gets back on the phone and tells me that the techs are still coming. They are just a little behind. Okay cool... So 3pm roll around and still no techs. So now that 2 hours late.

    Now I call again only to speak with another rep who informs me that there is no order set up for installation today and he was actually baffled that no one informed me of that. He said I can't believe they actually strung you along all this time and didn't tell me that one of their engineers has to come to the site and go into the ground and redo some wires. The request was made when they came to my house last and he said that they haven't even gotten a response as to when the engineer can come out so it would've been about another week. Mind you I have kids who have smart tvs with Fire Stick so the wifi is mandatory!

    It's really messed up how they were stringing me along and wasting my time as I definitely do not have time to waste. I cancelled order and I'm currently waiting on call from supervisor who was too busy to speak to me at the moment. Now I have to wait 3 days for them to refund me my money back. This is so unprofessional and unfair. Do anyone know who I can contact about this because I know if they did it to me they are doing it to other people.

    Frontier Communications advertises fast internet service. This is a joke. I started them in January 2019. On the day of installation it took about 5 hours for the service tech to get working. A day later I had to call for service as again it was not working. In the 9 months I have had service the network has gone in and out constantly at times for 24 hours.

    I am moving. Called in the beginning of Aug to have disconnect done. Customer rep kept telling me to disconnect after next billing cycle begins. Because I wanted to disconnect two days after cycle began. I asked her several times if there would be a pro rate, she kept ignoring and saying other things. I finally nailed her down and she said no they do not pro rate, so I would be charged a whole month for two days. I told her to disconnect on the 8th of the month as new month stated on the 9th.

    On the morning of the 6th we awoke to no service. When I called customer service they said I cancelled. I said yes as of the 8th, I was told no we do not disconnect on Sunday so you were disconnected as of 12:00 am. (Friday.). The original service rep did not tell me this. I asked where I should return router, I was given an address. I drove there to find it is not an open office for consumers. I called. Was told I would receive a box to return. I called again a week and a half later, and again was told box would be sent.

    It has been two weeks. Still no box and I received a bill for $9.99. I called and was told this was a disconnect fee. I asked why I was not told of this, and I would not pay. In addition still no box. After being on the phone for 40 minutes and being told twice rep could not credit $9.99. And asking to talk to a manager she was able to credit or so she says. And she says box is sent. We will see.

    Truly the worst business. They do not care about their customers. They only care about their hidden fees. I tried to cancel service but wasn't successful initially (transfer marathon and then...."you've reached us after normal business hours". Only to call back and find out that I was ONE DAY late and they would not pro-rate my bill. So I had to pay for a month I would not be using. On top of that, I had to pay an extra disconnect fee (there is literally nothing to disconnect except the phone line and crappy modem I already unplugged).

    Best part...when I offered to pay my final bill, they told me I would have to pay another $10 on top of that. A bit of advice to anyone at Frontier who might read this. Try writing some policies that put your customers in mind rather than your fat pockets. Good luck keeping the customers you have. You will never have my business again.

You might get to talk to a nice person but they can't tell you anything helpful. It would take months to get them to credit my bill for the days or weeks without service. The last time I noticed that I was without phone service was on August 16th 2019. I called that next Monday and was informed that the next available date to have a technician come out to my house was September 20th between 9am and 1pm!!! Over three weeks without phone service. Two days before the service appointment I get a text asking for a confirmation that I would be there. Yes, I will be there.

    The day before I got a text asking again for conformation. YES! I will be there. The day of the appointment I don't go to work and I wait at home all morning until 12pm when I call Frontier. After 15 minutes on hold and several people telling me they have no idea what I am talking about. I speak to a "Bill" who tells me the technician is coming out today and that they would definitely get it fixed today. At 4:30 pm I call again. Again two different people tell me they have no record of my service request. I ask to speak to a supervisor who immediately finds my service request and tells me that the technician already "closed out" my service request because he already fixed the problem. WHAT!

    I have no service! No dial tone! No nothing. She then tells me that the problem is in my house wiring and not in the line. So while I have her on the line I walk out to the phone box outside the house and plug a telephone handset into test socket and get NOTHING! No dial tone. She then tells me that the technician came out and found a dial tone and left. I tell her, "One of you is a liar." She tells me that all she can do is make another appointment for a technician and the soonest date is October 4th!

    I also had a Technician tell me that If he gave me a new router or an ONT the problem would still exist. He mentioned to me that there Is this card called a line Card which holds like 32 customers on each card & creates a lot of traffic. I said to him I thought that my line came directly to my house & wasn't shared with my neighbors. He said that I was right. He then told me that these cards cost about $20,000 & millions of dollars when you talk about there whole coverage area In the U.S. I told him that I never had a problem with Verizon & he said that's because Verizon knew not to promise speeds that their network couldn't handle.

    TL;DR: Frontier are terrible. Please use another company! I had planned to switch over to Frontier’s FIOS 500/500 internet. I set up the install appointment a month prior. Well the day arrives (Friday) and I’ve heard nothing from Frontier. Sure enough I call them, they have no appointment scheduled. They had cancelled my appointment and never notified me. Great. Of course the earliest they now have available is Wednesday, 5 days later. I ask them to waive the install fee seeing as my wife took time off work to be there and they never showed. Nope. They offered me a measly $25 credit. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told it would be a 1 hour wait. "That’s fine. Please have her call me." No. They can’t do that. Can’t call out. Seriously? The supervisor can’t make outgoing calls? Is this any way to run a business?

    Fast forward to Wednesday and the tech finally shows up. Only he tells me to get 500/500 internet, they have to run an Ethernet cable to the modem. Well that’s not going to work I tell him. He says that when I ordered they should have told me that, which of course they didn’t or I never would have ordered it in the first place. So I call their competitor, they can come tomorrow for an install and give me 400/400 with no new wires. Spectrum’s customer service is light years ahead. I told their tech forget it and cancel my order. I had Verizon FIOS in the past. It was awesome. Frontier is a joke.

    Wow, I should have never used this service. I signed up for Frontier over Spectrum because they had a $200 Visa Gift Card signup promotion at the time. It has been a crazy ride ever since. When my internet was first connected, we had a less than stellar tech named Dave out to the house. Dave was an unhappy man and incredibly rude, telling my husband we were going to have crappy internet because of where we are located. We are right in the middle of town, next to City Hall, Walmart and lots of other big stores. Dave left and sure enough, our internet didn't work.

    Next, I got to call Tech Support. I was on the phone for 2 hours with someone who spoke broken English. I connected my laptop and messed with settings, tried different phone jacks... nothing worked. Tech Support told me it was the phone lines, not their service and I would need another tech out. HOWEVER, they could not schedule me a tech because that is a different department (what??!) and they were closed, so I needed to call back in the morning during business hours lol. I call back in the morning, am on hold for well over an hour and get someone who wants me to restart my modem. I told them I wasn't even at my house, had done all this last night and just needed to schedule a tech. After fighting about it for 5 minutes, he finally obliged and made an appointment about a week out.

    Who shows up for this appointment? Oh yay, it's Dave. Dave is crabby and tells my husband it's not the phone lines and that he told us we would get crappy service. My husband is SO MAD, he calls me at work and I have to talk to Dave and explain to him what Tech Support said. (Shouldn't he already have that information?) Dave still says that is not what it is and connects his laptop to the modem and says it's fixed.

    Dave leaves. It's not fixed. The internet is connecting and disconnecting about every couple minutes. I call Tech Support, get to wait on hold for an hour again, then stay on the phone for another hour trying the same exact things that I already have. This tech says, "OK, it's your phone lines." I have a mini-heart attack and tell him there is NO WAY it's our phone lines because Awesome Dave said that it's not our phone lines. He wants to schedule a tech and I request no more Dave because he's insane. Few days goes by, another tech shows up. Says he doesn't need to come in the house and it's the phone lines but it will probably cost us money because they will fix it but it's not covered by Frontier. WTF? No one told us anything about that...?! Does something outside then just leaves. BUT - Internet is on at this point.

    12 hours later, internet is down again. This time it's not even coming back on. I'm so fed up, I call Frontier to cancel. It's at this time, the person on the other end of the phone won't talk to me because I'm not an "authorized user." Ok... You have talked to me a dozen times, LET ME SCHEDULE TECHS, but now all of the sudden you can't speak to me? It's my phone number and email on the account but for whatever reason it only shows my husband's name. I call my husband who then calls Frontier and puts me on as an authorized user. At that time, the girl on the other end of the phone says she understands his issue with the service and will give him $30 off his bill, LOL we haven't even used the service and the first month's bill is $135!!!! She won't waive the install fee because "that's a fee directly to the installer, we have nothing to do with that." Well, my internet was never INSTALLED! I can't USE IT! LOL.

    I call back (now that I'm an Authorized User, I have a confirmation code and everything) and get a really really nice guy in the retention department. He says that he can waive my first month's bill, waive the install fee (who knew?!) AND give me $25 off next month's bill. The only catch is that I have to call back next month to get the $25 off, because he can't do it to a bill that hasn't been created yet. I say fine, I'll deal with Tech Support one more time.

    He transfers me to Tech Support who schedules me with another Tech. Tech shows up, does whatever it is he does (it's not the phone lines though, it's something with Frontier and I guess it's happening to a lot of people in our area) and BOOM IT WORKS. I'm over the moon happy. No glitches, but speed isn't great. This was a struggle but we are done now and I'm just going to live with it. Fast forward a month. I still have no $200 gift card? I'm starting to wonder about it when I get an email with my monthly statement. It's $190. $135 for the first month which is now late and was never waived. And this month's charges of $55. (Which is way over $29... What the heck.)

    I call and get a woman on the other end of the phone. She pulls up my account to tell me I'm not an Authorized User and is my husband around. I told her to look at the notes on this account, I was made an Authorized user about a month ago, my husband has already made this call before. She says I'm not listed. I ask for a supervisor. She said since I'm not an account holder, I can't talk to a supervisor. She added that if I wanted to talk to someone besides her, I could hang up and call back. My head exploded at that and she hung up on me.

    I called back. Received some woman who spoke with such an accent that I could barely understand her plus something was wrong with her phone because it was SUPER quiet, which made the whole ordeal even more difficult and frustrating. I had her look at my account. She said I wasn't an authorized user. I asked her about notes on the account, she says "There aren't any"... After all of these calls and all of this time spent on the phone, no one notated ANYTHING?!!!! She said she could call Brad and get his permission and I laughed, saying good luck the number on the account is mine. She told me the billing issue was an easy fix, but they need to talk to my husband.

    I tried to explain to her, he is not available when their "business hours" are. That's WHY he added me, that's WHY all the information is mine... but whatever. She was just as unhelpful as the rest of them. My husband is calling back today. I'm getting everything waived and then cancelling my service.

When I asked to talk to a supervisor, after being put in hold for a long time, I was told they were all in a meeting (they are always in a meeting and unavailable). I then asked to have a supervisor call me and gave them all my information and was promised a call back. Surprise, surprise NO callback. This is a huge inconvenience to me as I now have to try and work from the library but the could care less. If you have any other choice I strongly recommend you DO NOT use Frontier.

    We have repeatedly been dissatisfied with Frontier for both landline phone and internet issues but unfortunately it is our only option for internet in rural Byron as far as we know. Our most recent frustration with Frontier is the result of our internet going out two weeks ago. I spent an hour on the phone for a total of two hours on two different days with Technicians who ultimately decided we needed someone to come to our home to fix the problem. Their first available appointment was two weeks out so I took it even though it meant that I'd need to take a day off of work. They told me someone would be out between 10AM-2PM and at 10:05 on the day of the appointment they called and cancelled!

    Customer for 20 years. Only Internet provider in my area for a while. Bundled my Phone /Internet with Dish. Phone would go out for weeks at a time. Internet in and out almost daily. In 20 years I never missed a payment. Finally called to see what could be done to fix WI-fi. CS told me "we don't even sell it in your neighborhood anymore". That would have been nice to know sooner. Called to cancel service. CS rep told me to pay my bill until I started getting my Dish bill in the mail. So I did.

    When I got my first Dish bill I disregarded my Frontier bill just as Frontier rep told me to do. Kept getting billed so I called to see what was up. Told them I did what they instructed me to do. She finally told me "Sir, you got your Dish bill to soon. You need to pay or we will turn you over to collections." I asked if I could make payments. She said "yes you can". So I sent a payment next day. Guess what? Got a letter from a collection agency today. 20 years on time. I did what they told me to do. Have heard a lot of bad press on them too. Run away and don't look back!

    We were with Frontier for four years and cancelled when we moved out of the area. The person who handled our cancellation put down a later date in order to charge us for another full month even though we had already moved. They then charged us another $10 for cancelling. The service was pretty bad while we had it, but there were no other providers. I would advise you to find another company if at all possible. Frontier is awful to work with and lie to their customers.

    Called a month ago, and a tech (Stephen) came out the next day. Apparently, Frontier cut our line while connecting a new construction. Stephen connected me to a neighbor so I would have phone service. The wire runs on the ground through trees to a neighbor's house. He said he would put in a request for someone to bury the line and that it would take a week or two. I called 2 weeks later and was told it takes 3 weeks. I called back today and was told a ticket was never submitted to bury a new line, and that the earliest someone could come out would be almost another 2 weeks. This person's job would be to measure the distance from the house to the pole. I get conflicting information on whether or not the line will be buried at that time. So, it will be at least 6 weeks with a cut phone line. I am in Northern Michigan, and winter will soon be here, which means snow and frozen earth.

    After a positive interaction with Frontier Communications, Vasuki increased their star rating on Sept. 20, 2019.

    Updated review: Sept. 20, 2019

    The issue was resolved. I would like to give the 5 stars to Rodney and Christina who resolved this issue very quickly. Appreciate their help.

    Original Review: Sept. 15, 2019

    First of all, I did not want to give even one star for this worst experience I had with Frontier Communications. I had ordered for new internet service to my residence. I was asked to provide positive ID's and notary form signed. I had submitted them a week before and did not get any call for scheduling installation. When I called them to follow up on my order, I was told that they could not locate my order ID and still waiting to get an update on positive ID's. After 2 days when I called they confirmed my Positive id's had been received but they could not locate my order.

    Each time when I call I get a different answer from different representatives. And I was issued a new order ID and submitted the positive id's again and I get the same answer that they could not locate my order. Not sure what is happening in their system. They could not provide or schedule installation. I would never recommend FRONTIER to any of my family or friends. Worst Experience ever.

    I hate to give even one star to Frontier just because of very poor customer service and the service has not been started or activated in spite of submitting our positive IDs. We called them several times and tried to follow up on the order which had been finalized. Every time when we call we get different answers that order ID is not in their system or unable to schedule service. They had issued new order ID and we submitted the notary public form and positive IDs again. After submitting the required information my order is still not processed even after two weeks. Not sure what is happening and they are not able to provide any valid reason. We are very unhappy about the Frontier service. Never had such bad experience before. I would not recommend Frontier to any of my friends or family in future. Please Beware!

    CONSUMER ALERT - DO NOT TRUST FRONTIER. THEY WILL KEEP YOUR MONEY, AND NOT ISSUE A REFUND. Here's the deal, I'll keep it short and simple...I ordered service to be installed on Saturday. The tech never called or showed. I called to get a refund. I was told 3-5 business days. 8 days later, still no refund.

    Here's the interesting part, I went to BBB website. Frontier's customer service and services in general are so bad, an alert pops up, forewarning you of Frontier's lack of response. Wow, just wow. When the BBB has to alert consumers to basically not expect a response, much less a resolution, don't count on it basically. I spent almost an hour on hold when I used the option for an existing customer, but my call was answered within 5 minutes as a new customer. Frontier's business practices are interesting. They have absolutely no regard for customer satisfaction, keep customers money they're not entitled to, the list of unhappy customers is endless. Thankfully many people have been able to get a different service provider. At least Comcast has ethics, and proper business practices. I put in a dispute on my card to get my money back. GUARANTEED, they will rip you off eventually, if they haven't already.

    We signed up with Frontier because they are the only internet provider to our area. As soon as ANY other company brings services to our area we are dropping Frontier. It took them 3 weeks and being on the cellphone with them 2-3 hrs a day to get our phone and internet working at our house that we moved into last fall... Incompetent customer service agents who don't care a damn about customers. They constantly transfer you to another agent and then eventually you get disconnected and you are forced to call them back and go thru their automated call center over and over again. Then you wait on the phone for 30-60 min to talk to a live person and they can't even help you and they shoot you in back into the automated program!!! Finally a guy from tech support determined that they had a wrong code setting in our modems and got them to work.

    Fast forward a few months and now we have modems that keep going bad somehow and Frontier is suppose to send us new modems and when I call to find out where the replacement modems are, they have no record of anyone talking to me or about ordering any new modems!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! This place needs to be put out of business!!! The very second anybody else brings service out we are done with them!!!

To pour salt into the wound, I was informed that I still had to pay for the entire month until October 1st. My bill wouldn't be prorated because of company policy. I was not under contract!

    Without going into all the details of each phone call, there were multiple issues with my Frontier account starting in March 2019 when I called to change my plan for a lower rate. My new rate was supposed to be $98.99 plus tax. That change resulted in my service being disconnected completely, incorrectly reconnected and being charged for items I never agreed to.

    I received a correct invoice for the March-April correct service then all things went downhill. My next bill was for more than $200 instead of the $108.49 it should have been. May and June bills were even more. After receiving a bill for more than $300 for June, I started calling to get it fixed and was told that I called on 5/21 to change my plan again and my new plan costs more than $300. After multiple days and calls telling them I DID NOT call on 5/21 for any reason, I was finally sent to the Office of the President after one representative finally admitted that I did not call on 5/21 but someone internally had committed fraud on my account by putting into the notes on my account that I called but there is no record of me calling. This representative changed my account to a Triple Play hence the ridiculous price increase.

    The Office of the President (Angela) was supposed to open an investigation and correct my account on 6/7/19 but completely dropped the ball. I called and left messages for her on 6/10 & 6/12 with no response. I called again on 6/25 and spoke to Michael who informed me that Angela had just entered notes into my account on 6/21 (2 weeks after my 1st call). On 6/25 I told Michael that I had received brand new equipment and didn't know why and all I wanted to do at this point was to cancel everything with Frontier.

    Cancelling my account didn't go any better. I told them I wanted to return all my equipment and for them to zero my balance and I was willing to call it even. Of course, they went through my account and said I still owe them over $140 which I do not. I STILL have the new equipment the President's office sent me and they don't want it back because they have no record of sending it to me. (I have more equipment they don't want back either because their records are so messed up).

    After receiving another bill in July and August, they turned me over to collections although I continued to email the Corporate Office with no response to my issue. On 8/20, I filed a complaint with the FCC and received a call from Stacy at the Office of the President today (9/11/19). She says she will investigate and get back to me. I predict she will respond to the FCC complaint letting me know their records show I still owe them money. I want everyone to know that although they admit to committing fraud, they are not willing to correct their mistakes. It may be time for an attorney.

    When we first signed up for their phone service, they installed and told us the line may have static due to location of service and type. Okay, understood. We get our first bill and it goes to our physical address, post office was nice enough to forward to our PO Box. I called, got it changed and corrected. We go along for several months getting our statements at our PO Box then we didn't realize we hadn't gotten our bill for 3 months (no bill we don't realize we have it to pay, too many without reminders) then it comes to us with 3 months of unpaid service! It had been going to our physical address again and not being forwarded because we had lived there long enough that the forward request had expired. WHAT!!!

    I called, they corrected it again, dropped the late fees and assured me it was corrected for good. Okay. Then we decide we are going to get rid of our satellite internet because it's so slow and expensive. Frontier says they can "bundle" us and save us about $50 per month with phone and internet combined. We go for it. Tech shows up, installs the box and service and says it will go live in 2-3 days. 4 days later, nothing. Red light. I call. They still have an open service order. Says the tech came back to complete the final set up and we weren't home. Also said he left a door hanger. Both details are totally untrue!!! Then, after a long several phone calls and a couple rude and dismissing reps later we wind up with a gal who finally gets to the bottom of it.

    We cancel the service and don't need to send anything back. The bill will reflect the service but call in and it will be corrected when we get it so we only have to pay for the phone. Bill comes, I call and get the corrected total after another very rude conversation. Hmmm, seeing a pattern. Send in the amount for the actual phone service less the internet service, before the due date. Get our next bill, shows a late fee because we didn't pay the entire amount including the internet service. Get on the line with yet another rude representative who was so snippy I couldn't stay on the phone. Hung up.

    Called back in intending to speak to a supervisor to get this resolved, on hold 3 different times after seriously exceeding the advised hold times. Crap! Tried to find an email address, nothing. Found a review section on their page. Completed it and then I found this. Anyone thinking they may want to use this service, save your money and frustration. It's not worth it!!!!

For my August payment I attempted to go online on four separate occasions whenever I would go to the payment page it would just spin and I could never get to the page. So I downloaded the app on my phone and I still cannot make a payment then. Finally two days later I was able to make a payment online. I then received a notice that my account would be suspended if I didn’t make a payment, that my previous payment I made online had a bounced check and I was then charged a $25 additional fee. There’s no reason why this should have bounced as there was plenty of money in the account.

    I called customer service and the representative said that she saw two separate areas where it looked like it did go through but then in another area it didn’t go through so she was going to write up a dispute. I said I was concerned about my account being suspended. She said if it’s in dispute they cannot suspend your account. I said OK. A week later my account is suspended. I have no Internet service! Between yesterday and today I have been on the phone or on hold for four hours! I still do not have Internet service. Even though I made the full payment with all of the fees which I do not believe I am accountable for on the app. I also made a phone payment and was charged $4.50.

I call in, told absolutely not, then told by rep that people are getting fired for moving people from 200/200 to 500/500. That's disgusting to do to employees if true, on top of being lied to when I asked when signing up. Regardless all of my INTERNET SPEED TESTS average 100/200, oddly the only server I see 200/200 on is Frontier owned. Funny how that works. I am a new customer 6 months in and already I see issues such as this. I'm not even getting my promised speeds to begin and hoped 500/500 would offset that missing speed.

    I was already skeptical of Frontier being smaller when moving from proven Comcast. I wanted to support the smaller network to help it grow, right off the bat I am all but slapped in the face. Unless I see a reply to this in 30 days, Comcast will be receiving a customer back to its ranks. I hate Comcast, but I can say this, they always worked with me, always had promised speeds and even upgraded me without asking. Then to voice the complaint they remove email and tell you to CHAT which is broken which tells you to CALL, so they think their salespeople will calm you and keep you....Riiiight.

I have had 3 appointments set up for a technician to come out, I have had to have someone specifically stay at my place for me to be there to let them in. Not one time, in all of my 3 appointments has someone showed up. Each time I call they say someone will be there and no one comes. And the worst part is that no one calls me. There is no communication whatsoever. If someone were to call me and notify me that no one was showing I would feel a lot better, like someone actually cared about their customers and their product. I have had to go online and see there is yet another issue and no one is coming.

    I called again, today, my 11th time, and asked to speak to a manager three times, yet a manager was not around. Now I know a manager is around, but they do not want to take calls from irate customers, I would have stayed on the phone longer, however I am at work and don't have the luxury to sit around on the phone all day on hold. Therefore I had to take whomever customer service rep they gave me.

    We have had service issues since Frontier bought out Verizon. We never had these problems prior to that point, and have the same Fios lines and equipment (for the most part) as we did with Verizon. We are constantly having issues with our cable service, particularly with On Demand and suddenly losing access to half of our channels. We have the highest cable package available, excluding sports channels, so we should not be missing any channels. We also have a separate business line coming into our home that we pay even more for. So, for almost $500 a month, you would think they could get it right. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

    Every time a technician comes out a new issue arises. We have had problems with our phone, our internet, and our cable - typically two out of three things at one time. The last service visit scheduled was somehow canceled on their end, and we never received notification. When a technician never showed up, I called Frontier. I was told they cannot even find the repair ticket in their system. This was interesting considering that it was showing on my account on THEIR system online. The rep was very nice, but said nobody would be available for ANOTHER two weeks. I had to run to a Frontier store to exchange the router to see if that was the issue. I couldn't even work as it is tough to do business with no internet.

    I received a phone call back that the ticket had been escalated. They sent a tech out at the very end of the day, but he only made the problem worse. His comment of "I have never even seen an ONT box like this before" probably should have been a sign that things would not go well. I have not had service on my business line for two weeks, and have had to use my cell phone. When we called again to put in yet another ticket and ask for a credit, we were told that we have not called enough to prove that this has been on an-going problem. We "only called once in April and once in July". This is NOT the case. We have called repeatedly, but somehow that account history vanished, just like our repair ticket. We don't have time to sit on the phone for two hours every day to notate the SAME issues we are having over and over again. This is ridiculous. Shopping for a new company now.

    I've been a customer with Frontier for two years and over this time had multiple issues with billing where price would be doubled or they add fees that were not there before. Eventually I was billed double of that we originally agreed on. While spending house on a line with customer service, I got transferred to a retention department. They could not adjust any of my past bills without locking me in another annual contract while I had no desire to continue service with them. I spoke with a manager and he could not do anything either to adjust my rates. It's unheard of to treat customers like that - locking in the contract, send the wrong bill and not be able to fix it and make me at fault!!!

    Frontier promised me that I would always pay $34.99 excluding taxes and three years later I'm paying $48.98! New customers are paying $27.99 for 6 mbps! The service I have, is 4.8 download mbps and it should be 6. I spoke with a very honest Frontier technician and he told me that I am paying for a phone and 25 mbps and he told me to definitely contact Frontier customer service, I did and that man told me that all I get is 6 mbps and rudely! I live alone, I'm 61, live below the poverty line, I have no phone through Frontier and I cannot afford this anymore, thus, my service will be shut off in September and I will truly be alone.

    Our Internet regularly stops, freezes or prevents us from watching live tv. Over the past year, we have put in many calls to tech support, and things seem fine for a week or so. Then it all starts again. And even after they made adjustments and I did a speed test, we never got anything close to 75 upload/download. Yet we were supposed to get and were paying for 150.

    I finally got fed up having to spend so much time calling. So we decided to go with another Company. Perfect timing since we just got a notice from Frontier that our year was up and our rates were going up. When I called to cancel our service I was asked why. I told the billing person what we had been going through. She acknowledged all of the calls we had made. Then told us we would have to pay a cancellation fee.

    What! I told her that they obviously cared nothing about customers, service or their reputation. And that I was going to write bad reviews as many places as I could. She said that was their policy. So I told her I realized she couldn't make that decision so could she find someone that could. All in all a horrible experience from just about day one. I simply can't recommend these people to anyone.

Repeatedly he kept asking me my last name and can I spell it. The he wondered who gave me his number yada yada. Finally he told me the remote will cost $14.99. I was ready to tell the guy off but I know he was doing his job I guess. I asked him for a local Frontier storefront so I can just trade in my broken remote and he gave me a central serviceman gathering point in Hudson Florida. I questioned the location and he told me it had to be a storefront. Well it was not a storefront. This took 30 minutes. I checked how long I wasted on this so and so.

    We had service with AT&T in Connecticut and unfortunately AT&T service was taken over by Frontier Communications. While we tried our best to stay with Frontier their price and service was not to our expectations. The obvious thing to do was to switch to a different provider. We switched providers only 5 days into Frontier's billing cycle and Frontier charged us for an entire month's bill. We has called the very next day after switching and they had assured us that we will not be charged.

    A month later we got a bill in the mail, we had to call 2 or 3 times and they are reading fine print on the bill stating that Frontier does not prorate on cancelled service. This is really bad customer service, charging consumers for service they did not use. I will highly suggest to stay away from Frontier Communications as they lack customer service. Their customer service representative was rude on the phone.

    First of all, this is by far the WORST experience I have ever had with WiFi. The amount of times Frontier has backed out on scheduled appointments is ridiculous. After going yet again another week without WiFi, they have the nerve to say that a “delay” happened and that my family will have to wait another 2 weeks for them to come out to our house. This has happened so many times. It’s not even funny. Oh ya! Another thing, when we call to see why this is happening, NO ONE EVER KNOWS WHAT THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT! “Oh I THINK it’s this” or “oh I THINK it’s that.” No. Just stop.

    Admit it that Frontier has terrible customer service and is literal trash overall. You guys can’t even show up to a single appointment. I HIGHLY recommend that you don’t pick Frontier and if there is any other choice, choose that. I hope to god they don’t fail to come to the new rescheduled appointment.

Deposit not returned. Another attempt to setup service another deposit taken. Customer service reps not able to get someone out as promised. I waited over a month before service was setup and started. Wasn't receiving my bills on time for me to pay in a timely manner. Fast forward to a year and 4 months of having service. My service was disconnected without a notice or should I say I received a notice the same day of disconnection. I called customer service to which they cut my service back on and extended my pay date for a couple of days.

    I was told by the representative that I wouldn't be charged a reconnection fee. But yet here it is I'm being charged a reconnection fee and customer service didn't put it into the notes so I'm stuck having to pay a reconnection fee because of the customer service rep that said I wouldn't be charged didn't put a note about it and their mailing bills sucks.

After intro fee of $130 it ended up at $197 after 2 yrs with one DVR box and router. I was over it and called to cancel. I came to find out I had been paying $17 a month for a security app I never downloaded. They could see it being charged on my bill for 9 months on their end. I was paying it for the whole 2 yrs. I never asked for it or was informed about it. I thought it was just some wifi security charge with the package. Never used it once or needed it. It was called the Internet security bundle on the bill.

    They would not give me any amount of credit for the app that I never used. They told me at first that they could go back 3 months for a $52 credit. It was denied when I got the bill. I called customer service and talked to a supervisor .I got the big runaround by Caitlyn saying that it was my responsibility to look at the bill. Maybe so but no money credited.

I was on Autopay and the system charged me the full amount because I didn't "update autopay" after the bill credit was applied (before my due date, and it showed up on the online portal). The icing on the cake, I called to ask for an extension on payment, because of the error. Apparently, I didn't qualify for the extension because I wasn't enrolled in "reminders". The agent couldn't tell me how to enroll in this system I've never heard of, and then when I tried to pay the past due amount instead they wanted to charge me $10 just to pay on the phone.

Frontier contacted me to try to resolve my issues by sending me a self install kit. I installed the kit, attempted to call and have service activated and the technician couldn't even find my account and the phone disconnected. Gave it a few days and called back and spoke with someone again and he tried his best to solve the problem but couldn't and let me know that he had to create a service ticket for guess what???

Only for no one to show up not one not twice not even the third or fourth time. I ultimately just canceled the entire order.

Upon arriving in OR with my router and cable box which I was advised I could take with me to transfer my services I was advised I had to delete my account and create a new one, being loyal I did so. They sent the return shipping boxes to TX and turned me into collections when my items did not get returned. Frontier knew I lived in OR now and had my new address as I had an account with them, even though they could not match the speed I was getting in TX and informed I could get in OR.

    Now I have called on 1/28, 3/18, and 8/14 and even spoken to supervisors and they have informed me "there is nothing more they can do." They turned me into collections for not returning product when they sent items to wrong location, we have long since provided the box and router back that we could never use in OR in the first place and yet my credit is still damaged. They misinformed me and have attacked my credit and are refusing to take corrective action against the damage done to my credit. The way this company is run is embarrassing, hearing "I am so sorry.

    Now that may not sound like a big deal but when I asked them to send someone out to handle this as I have just moved to the state and have a few other important thing to do they said they will charge me even though it is under warranty and I have only had service for 24 hours. They said it will be completely up to the tech that arrives if he will want to charge for his service call or not. I'm guessing he doesn't work for free. They said they have no control over what service techs charge. HUH?!? WOW!!! "And it's a landline phone service battery," he said, which he pointed out I don't even have.

I was told I did now owe for the June bill and I would have to dispute through the collection agency and have the collection agency call Frontier Communications to confirm I do not owe the disputed amount.

I would have to dispute the June bill and I would need the collection agency try and collect the reimbursement that Frontier Communications owes me. Is this insane or what?

    To who it my concern, On or about the first of the year I called pertaining to my bill and or a promotion that ran out, I don’t exactly remember. I got the matter resolved and during the course of the conversation Frontier’s rep asked if I wanted a trial faster internet speed to try for a year for free. After a year, if I chose to keep, it would be $10 per month. I explained that my current internet works fine and has plenty of speed, but I would try to see if there was a huge difference. I agreed with no written agreement or terms & conditions to review. Nothing except a Frontier’s rep verbal commitment that it was free for a year and $10 a month then after if I chose to continue service at the end of a year.

    My conversation was done, and I achieved what I initially called for. Several days later I got a phone call from a field tech, he explained to me he was at my house to replace equipment for new internet service. No appointment was made. I had the ability at the time to drop what I was doing and head home. The service man spent an hour or so working on or replacing equipment. No terms and condition or paperwork were given to me to review or sign.

    My next billing was for $307 almost twice my normal $160. I called and it was explained to me that my internet promotion ran out when I upgraded. What Frontier needs to understand is I didn’t come to you for any services at any time. I had Verizon and was rolled over to your service by a buyout. I didn’t ask for an internet upgrade. I was “grandfathered” in at a price and equipment that served my needs fine. By the way “grandfathered in” is the term your customer service person used in their explanation. I didn’t ask for an upgrade, I was offered a “FREE” promotion. I said “this isn’t what I want, come and get your equipment, put my old equipment back with my original terms & conditions. I was told my bill was adjusted to $154 so I happily moved on.

    I was misled and duped, when the next bill came and there was no adjustment. Why would I take on another $150 in service? I’m 66 years old and on a fixed income call social security. Please note I have free time to research elder abuse which in the state of California is a big offence. Also look into a class action suit. I will copy and paste this on every internet posting I can find. I will file complaints with the Better Business Burrow, Consumer Affairs and anyone else that will accept it and listen not limited to local news. If Frontier thinks they are above the law and moral obligations to their customers, we will soon find out. I will be tracking the cost to date for overages paid.

    To date I have spent hours on the phone with customer service. Each time I have been able to have my payment adjusted. Every time the bill comes un-adjusted. Again, lied to. The last adjustment was made February 21, 2019 for the monthly payment amount of $164.77 per confirmation #** which is the amount I used to bring my account up to speed and to only be shut off yesterday. As of today, I have been told by customer service to reach out to collections with my problem, they didn’t want to discuss my issue with me and told me to reach out to retention and they didn’t want to discuss my issue. I received a email yesterday from Frontier stating that they chose to drop beIN Sports that broadcast MotoGP the richest most prestigious motorcycle racing in the world. I'm a huge fan. If Frontier thinks for a minute, they are too big for one person to challenge I’m in.

    There are areas in WV that are still rural with the only communications is a land line. My elderly parents are of such. I called last Monday to open a ticket that their phone was out. Here we are 7 days later and their phone is still out. Both of them have health issues and my concern is something happen that they would need emergency medical care they would have no way of calling for it. I called today for an update status and was told the ticket had been closed. It was closed due to "common error" and that it was assumed that anyone that had an issue in that area was fixed.

    If I had not called in for the status we would still be wondering what is going on. A new ticket had to be created for the same issue that has not been fixed. The kicker is the soonest I could be put on the schedule is Wednesday. This is poor service and unacceptable. You are a communication business, you need to work on your internal communication and customer service- especially if in rural area with only means for medical emergency. Do not assume everyone has cell service!!

    Everything about my experience was awful, starting from the start. The day I got my router the one little sticker on it that’s supposed to have my password was ripped off. We called and was on the phone for over an hour with this woman trying to figure out a way to get the password and she couldn’t find it. So I had to go without internet for a week because one little sticker was missing. Then they charged me for a new one to be sent out. The service was also bad. Finally I moved and got out of it and two months later I receive a bill for unreturned equipment when I know darn well I did. I try for the life of me to talk to a human about it and every route you take is all automated. Finally I say screw it and call tech support and the wait is over a half an hour and their callback service is broken. Beyond frustrated with this company.

    Third time's a charm I guess. I was with Verizon when Frontier took over. My monthly bill increased and my cable started having problems. When I called they said it looks good on their end and would not fix my issues. I switched to Spectrum. It was more expensive, but I never had a problem. I decided to give Frontier another shot. They checked my credit and approved me for free installation but then never showed up and said that I never signed up for their service. Fast forward 2 years later, I gave them another shot just to save $15/month on internet. The salesman lied about no contract and the internet now randomly disconnects itself randomly throughout the day.

    Upon viewing my credit report a month after first inquiring about Frontier, I see a hard inquiry on my credit report. I have great credit, but am looking for a personal loan. Seeing that hard inquiry is irritating. Furthermore, I was in the process of getting Frontier installed a month ago, but backed out and went to Spectrum instead after a bad taste in my mouth with the customer service reps being a little deceitful.

    The majority of my time with this company as my TV provider, the very expensive channels I paid for did not work. Neither did the HD option. And when. attempting to contact their absurdly inadequate customer service for help, my requests either we never responded to or their systems were down and I couldn't even submit my requests. Complete joke of a company and I can't believe they even have a 2 star rating.

    I have a new account with Frontier and can't access my account or use my phone. The technical support phone line is understaffed, so I would have had to wait one hour online to get service or a call back would have taken a week. I tried an online chat and had to wait 1 1/2 hours to start the chat. After 40 minutes of struggle the person on the chat line was unable to help and referred me to customer service. The customer service person was also unable to help.

    **Consumer Alert** WARNING!! About 3 weeks ago I had two salesmen come to my door from Frontier. They explained they had an apples-to-apples product (actually, they said it was better & faster) to Spectrum. They offered me free installation, a $100 Visa Card, high speed internet at twice the speed, 3 DVR boxes instead of 1, all my channels PLUS the football package & NHL package for about $35 less than what I was currently paying. It wasn’t a huge savings, but I was certainly going to be getting so much more! Or, so I thought! Frontier arrived 5 minutes before my 4 hour installation window ended. By the time they finished the installation I had been “waiting” for 7 hours. Red Flag #1. They then pointed out a large cable running across my yard they would be coming out to “mark and bury”. Ummm??? What??? You want to tear up my yard to install the cable line?!?? Red Flag #2.

    Then, the technician said he forgot the remotes. He promised to “drop them off today”. It’s 8pm. Guess who doesn’t have any remotes?! That’s right! This girl! Red Flag #3. As soon as the cable guy left I turned on the TV looking for “Fixer Upper” on HGTV. My picture was sooo bad it looked like I was using my 1999 bunny ear antenna. Guess what else??? No HGTV! In fact... NO TV over local channels!!!! Are you kidding me?! I could buy a $20 antenna at Walmart and get a clearer picture FOR FREE! Red Flag #4. I called Frontier within 20 minutes of the technician leaving my home.... Turns out to get an apples-to-apples service I needed to pay MORE than I was paying with Spectrum. To top it all off, to CANCEL less than 24 hours later, I now have to pay a $240 early termination fee AND a months worth of service. I cancelled anyway and I’m going to give Frontier the biggest “** YOU” in history.

    Tampa residents, if you are currently using Spectrum DO NOT change to Frontier. It is a bait and switch ploy— they will say anything to get you to set up an installation and then leave you with inferior services. On a side note, I finally reached a customer service rep who appeared as if she genuinely wanted to help. She told me this was her 4th bait and switch cancellation call this week from door-to-door sales. Do not answer the door folks... And do not switch to Frontier! #frontier #tampa #southtampa #cable #internet #tv #spectrum #florida #utility

    On June 25, 2019 we cancelled our Frontier service. We were able to save some $ switching to Spectrum. 7/31/19 we received a bill for 74.88 for partial service from 6/25-7/24/19. They had given a partial credit of $160.43. My husband called and was transferred several times. He tried to ask for a supervisor and was told that they were in a meeting. Then he had to go to work. So I called. I also was transferred 5 times. I was told supervisor can’t approve credit to a closed account. So I filed a dispute for the billing. Said I have to call back in a couple days to see if the dispute “goes through“. Said it probably would be denied. Then they could resubmit with more detail. But they had already made it pretty detailed... stay tuned. After the last person answered the call with “Frontier Communications“ I thought, well that’s an oxymoron!

    Frontier is the only internet service provider in our community so I have no other options. Three times I have signed up for installation with a phone representative, a lengthy process including a credit check. I've set a date and time for the installation to take place and taken off of work to be there. On all three occasions no technician has shown up to install internet, despite numerous automated text messages from Frontier in the days leading up to the appointment confirming it and reminding me that I must be there at the scheduled time. I've lost money and family leave from work over this. When I call Frontier to inquire what happened they don't know. Something "went wrong with the product in the system". They need to cancel that order and start over again from scratch, credit check and all. I am about to try attempt #4. I am very frustrated. If Frontier had any competition I would not give this company my business.

    I'm a Spectrum customer for over a year until now, I called Frontier, AT&T and Verizon to compare prices last June 2019 just for curiosity but did not decide to move out from Spectrum. In my surprise I got a bill from Frontier last month for an internet service that I don't even have since I have Spectrum. The first customer agent that I've talked to, established an unauthorized account for me, I called the 800 921-8101 and talked to a nice customer agent explaining that I did not order any service from them and I don't have an intention of moving out from Spectrum, she was very nice enough to cancel the account that the first unprofessional customer service established.

    Today, July 30, 2019 I got a new bill from Frontier again in the amount of $1.52, I called the 800 921-8101 again and talked to Brandy with I* and Patrice with ID# V-** asking them what is that $1.52, they keep saying it's for the disconnection of my service. This is not about money that's why I did this review, I want to inform others not to even call Frontier. I don't know why these customer agent doesn't understand that I don't have any service from them, I don’t know if they know that they are doing. If I could have rated no stars... I would have.

    Billing or Collection Issues. Problem: I called Frontier at the end of April and cancelled my internet service. I was getting a divorce and I was trying to cancel the service at ** and my ex-husband was going to put the internet service in his name. The customer service rep has myself and my ex on a 3 way call, and assured us both that they cancelled my account and opened the one in his name. It is now July 29, 2019 and I am still trying to get this account out of my name. My ex has the account opened in his name and his paying his bills, but Frontier keeps billing me at my new address for the service address at **.

    Every time I call they assure me that my account has been cancelled. I just spent over 2 hours on the phone with them. I was told that I was being transferred to a manager. I called Frontier from a different phone and it told me that the office was closed. So I hung up. Frontier is billing two different people for the same service address. This has to be illegal. I would like to have this matter resolved by Frontier immediately. They need to email me a confirmation letter that says all charges are removed and that my account has been cancelled.

    Today I have come to the climax of this company's lack of customer-centric and problem resolution. My issue started May 2019. I have been a customer of Frontier for over a year and paid my monthly bill via my bank's bill payment system. May of this year, it so happen that Frontier stop receiving my payments, according to them and cut of my service. I provided proof of payment for the missing May 2019, March and April 2019 payments on June 11, 2019 to the collection department. My source of payment since receiving Frontier's service had not change. When I returned from vacation in June, my service was still disconnected. I called 6/20, 6/21, and 7/5 to resolve the issue. However, there was no one competent enough to handle the service call; has I was transferred 6 times on one call.

    On June 6/20 when I spoke to a supervisor after holding for over an hour to get this issue resolved, my perception during my conversation is as if I was a burden to her. Before my conversation concluded, she mentioned that my June payment was not received. My bank statement showed that Frontier received payment on June 12. The supervisor place me on hold and researched to see if payment was received. When she came back on the line, her conclusion was that I had two Frontier accounts - SURPRISE! "I see the payment. I will apply this payment and connect service." Service was connected, however payment was not applied.

    On July 5 received another email at 7:07 pm (their office closed) stating I need to contact Frontier. I again emailed Frontier my bank statement showing payments received by Frontier from March-June 2019 and my July 13 payment. I did not hear from Frontier. Again I called on July 11 to get this resolved, no one was able to resolve. Today, I received an email stating that I owe Frontier $467. This was the last straw! Cordel, Plano, Texas

    For years at my old home we had Verizon FIOS with no complaints. Then Frontier took over and customer service went from excellent to horrible while prices kept going up, up, and up. Would have switched companies but we ended up moving before finally losing our temper with Frontier. At my new home in a rural area Frontier is the only option for telephone/DSL and their service is even worse. Line keeps going in and out, India call centers, rude customer service staff, and a 'we don't need to do anything for you' attitude. DO NOT do business with this awful company. We're going to ditch them completely and go with satellite Internet or a cellular hot spot. Frontier is absolutely awful and I curse the day that Verizon sold part of their business to this junk company.

    Updated on 07/30/2019: I finally was able to talk to a technician doing the repairs on Monday of this week. Service still not restored after 1 month. They told me as they left Mon. that they will not be back until Thurs. A very poor effort is being made to restore our service. I see no concern from Frontier about their customers.

    Updated on 07/25/2019: I wrote a review on the 23rd about Frontier and lack of phone service for almost 1 month. A Frontier representative saw the review and contacted me on the 23rd. I provided the information requested and now 2 days later there is no further response. They are not able to tell me why we have no service, what is specifically being done and when we will have service. It is amazing that not one person from Frontier is willing to tell me this information. Not one!

    Original Review: We have lost service before, but this is a record. No telephone service since June - now July 22 - and Frontier will not answer any questions about what they are doing and when service will be restored. I called the Ohio Public Utilities Commission many times and Frontier has not responded to them since July 5th. I call and get no information. Just no telephone service for about 3 weeks. No storms or disasters. They will not let anyone know why or when there will be service. There cannot be worst service.
