I really can’t understand why this company is still in business?! Extremely incompetent Customer service reps and supervisors! They’ll steal your money from you and make you think that you’re the problem! I didn’t have Internet service for three months straight. I tried to work with them. NO resolve! Yet they took my money every month knowing I didn’t have service. Finally when I got sick and tired of being sick and tired I ended the contract and requested the three months that I didn’t have service back. They agreed. However when they sent me the gift card (claiming they couldn’t put the money back on my credit card, the card came and the paper said three worth of money was back). These Thieves had the nerve to refund 2 months back to frontier with no notification and only sent back one month to me! All in all Frontier is gross.

We are a local business and use the Frontier Internet and Phone service. We also use Internet-based phone services (VOIP). On January 19th 2023, after a storm, our internet became incredibly intermittent and then would cut out altogether for hours at a time. When we did have service, the coverage was so poor our phone calls would drop and clients could not get through. We could not load internet pages. After our I.T. person checked everything internally, we called for tech support. The soonest they could come was February 1st. We were told the tech would come between 1 pm and 8 pm. It seemed late, but we waited. Nobody came and nobody called. I called tech support at 8:30 pm and was told we had been rescheduled to February 22nd.
On February 19th I became so frustrated trying to email but with no connection that I called again hoping for phone tech support. I spoke to a rep who scheduled a phone tech support meeting with my I.T. person for the morning. The rep said he would call between 9 and 9:30 am. My I.T. person came in on his off day. Nobody called. On February 22nd, the live tech was supposed to arrive at our office between 1 and 5 pm. I called at 4:30 and was told the ticket was still open and he would arrive soon. I waited until 6 pm. Nobody called and nobody came. I called tech support again. I was told that the tech had rescheduled us to March 1st - but had not called us to notify us he was not coming.
The phone support person offered us a $37 credit for our inconvenience - after a month of intermittent, dropped service. Now we are waiting yet another week with intermittent to no service, cutting in and out, dropped phone calls so that customers can't get through and remote teletherapy cannot be completed, and NO options. Sadly, they are the only provider in our area. I would cancel in a heartbeat if I could. The support people are always very kind and seemingly helpful, but nobody actually comes to resolve any problems. I hope this is useful to anybody choosing their provider with more options than I had.

My wife and I rented an apartment at 8601 Esquire Trail, Fort Worth, TX, 76244 from Oct 2019 until Feb. 6th 2023. We had signed a lease yearly. The last lease was supposed to be from Oct 2022 until Oct 2023. On Jan 25th my wife and I were held at gunpoint outside our apartment building, had items stolen from my truck and my person and then had our other vehicle carjacked. Needless to say we worked with our leasing company to get out of our lease and move. We had been using Frontier Communications as that is the only service available on the property. We had paid for service a month in advance. On Feb 3 I chatted with three different people at Frontier because the chat room kept going down.
My last chat, (which a Frontier rep said did contain the word ‘Cancel’ talking about my account. I then called a lady at Frontier the same day and she said she would cancel the account. A lady from Frontier called my wife today, Feb 22, and said we did not cancel correctly and we would have to pay $240.xx thru March 3rd. They are sending a box to me so I can send them their equipment. I feel whoever I was chatting with last could have had the mind to call to verify I wanted service cancelled, otherwise why have a chat room? I was a loyal customer for three years and it seems they are taking advantage of me. The lady I talked to on Feb 3rd asked since I was moving would I like to keep Frontier and I said no. They must have records of this? Dismayed retiree. Duane

Had Frontier for over 2 years and service never improved. When we had visitors we had to limit who could be on the internet as it slowed to a snail's pace. If you don't mind buffering then this is your internet. When I closed my account I was charged fees that were never discussed (Cancelation Fee, Restocking Fee,) And talking with Customer service is like talking to a wall, they are not willing to discuss or change their stance. You will pay or they turn it over to collections and that is how they discuss it. Sign up at your own risk.

I have never had a good experience with Frontier, but just like other Frontier users, they are my only source of internet for where I live. If I could give zero stars I would. It took them over a month to finally hook my internet up, then after a month of using it, it went out. I then had to wait three weeks, just for them to reschedule on me. One more week passes, another reschedule. Another week and I finally have someone out there. They "fix" it, I have internet for a while, goes out again. Play the usual waiting/rescheduling game. Someone finally comes out, tells me the last technician did everything wrong (installed wrong modem, didn't strip copper wires, etc.) and this technician "fixed" it. I have internet for a while.
Internet connection drops again recently, come to find out the last technician never put the lid back on the outside internet box (I'm not sure what else to call it) and he tied it on with a piece of rope he found lying around. I open the box and discover tons of rust, water, and bugs inside of it. I am now being told to wait three weeks before the technician can come out to fix it. I'm close to dropping the service all together and switching over to Starlink from Elon Musk. It may be more expensive, but at this point I would rather have expensive Starlink internet than any-price Frontier (even if they provided it to me for free). I hate Frontier.

Not sure exactly what happened but the driver came back and did the installation finally. Internet is working and the driver apologized for poor communication. Had to dock a star due to the needless drama.
Original Review: Feb. 16, 2023
Waited for two weeks to get an installer out to my home after being assured that fiber was available in my area and getting it would be absolutely no problem several times on the phone. On the day of my appointment I received a call from the tech to announce he was coming however that was the end of the "positives". The "man" (lol) who showed up clearly didn't want to be there especially once he saw the installation would be a difficult one. He then claimed he had to "call his boss", proceeded to walk into my neighbor's yard and talk loudly on his phone ignoring requests to return to my property. I went to explain what was going on to my handicapped friend who the connection was for and a moment later watched the lazy rude "tech" drive away without so much as a word. Unprofessional and disrespectful. Avoid Frontier at all costs.... Xfinity/Comcast blows them out of the water in terms of service.

Our landline wasn't working properly. It would ring once, then nothing. When we called in a service request we were told they couldn't send anyone out for 3+ weeks. This is my husband's business phone and phone number he has had for 45 years. At that point, we went to a new communications company. Our phone number was supposed to be transferred over to the new carrier, and here we are weeks later and nothing has happened. When I called Customer Service at Frontier I was told I would have to call a different number. I called that number, and they referred me back to the first number I called. So, here I am with no one to talk to. The choices they gave me on both numbers were not what I was calling about, and I couldn't get to a live person, no matter what. Worst customer service I have ever experienced.

I have Frontier as an Internet Provider. The service is horrible. The internet is up and down as much as 12 times a day to 24 times a day, currently. In the past, connection would go down and stay down. Then I would call customer service, be on hold for one half to one hour, get a customer service person on the line, be put through paces of rebooting, checking my electrical connections, yada yada, then FINALLY get to the point of send a worker out here, but, 9 days, 11 days, 19 days waiting, three changes of modems later and what do I have? Well, it is not shutting down altogether, it just disconnects, the modem goes from red lights to green lights to finally the blue globe and a couple of minutes later, the internet is back, only go back down a few minutes later. This up and down thing goes on all day long and I guess it is related to peak service hours but I can't really tell any more because it is up and down so often all day long.
As far speed goes, well, videos stall out all the time especially new service videos. I would love to join a class action lawsuit against Frontier. Where do I sign up? The thing is, out here in the sticks, we get our internet via land line, two copper wires in a telephone cable that Frontier rents space on and which has been hanging on poles along my road since at least 1985 when I move in here. I am seriously thinking of switching to something like Star Link which is a satellite dish thing but it costs $75 dollars deposit, wait 6 month waiting list, have a site for the dish that has an unobstructed view of North, $700 installation and set up with $100 per month charge. Right now, with Frontier I am paying $60 just for internet alone, so, I don't know. All in all, I feel trapped.

I would not recommend this company for internet services. I was scheduled and then rescheduled for an installation 3 separate times. Every time was a no call, no show, after we arrange to be there. The first time I was told we weren't home. We were not only home, but in the yard the entire time. This was the worst customer service experience I have dealt with in my adult life.

I prefer to use the Frontier chat for quick correspondence, however, the agents are rude (repeatedly disconnect the chat) and have asked me for my full social security number numerous times. Today the agent asked for some of my personal details and logged off all of a sudden. This is a red flag! On another note this company was supposed to transfer a previous address account to new one and did not. Months later I found out (after collections agencies called me) I was being charged for 2 accounts at same address. 1 account in collections. Also, I run rental properties and specifically advised the set up agent that I am using these services for rental properties and to block any additional paid features from being purchased. This last summer several months of additional charges in the hundreds on my bill, when I called to get it removed they would not do it. Stay away from this company!

Frontier unduly charged our account, even after we canceled service, moved homes, and turned in our router. Frontier customer representatives admitted as much, notified us that we would not be billed further, and even stated there was a credit to offset the incorrect charge. However, there continued to be charges and then ongoing harassment. We will never use Frontier again and do not recommend using them if you value customer service.

Hi Jarred. We're saddened to know that you have cancelled your service with us. What to expect after disconnecting the service? You could receive up to three separate bills over the next 90 days; your regular monthly bill, which is your last bill for service, the closing bill may include an Equipment Restocking Fee, any partial month charges, unpaid balances and early termination fees, and lastly a bill that could include applicable credits, refunds and unreturned equipment fee/credits. -JK

I called Customer Service to ask why I was charged when my account was closed 12/19/22. I was told that Frontier does not pro-rate! So, I paid 14 days for NOTHING! That is unethical and disappointing that a company of your size does not pro-rate and I paid for an I received service. Shame on you Frontier!

Hello, Elizabeth. Frontier services are billed on a monthly subscription, and a month in advance. There will be no partial-month credits for previously billed internet services. The equipment restocking fee helps cover the cost of arranging for the return of rented equipment and placing that equipment back in inventory.

After this review, Frontier's customer service experience was better. I am not sure if the review I wrote is relevant to the experience I had after, but if so, it should not take a bad review for Frontier's employees to be giving good customer service. Good customer service should be provided consistently, on every call.

Representatives working in chat customer service aren't helpful. I would post pictures of my experience to show the public if I could. Once they get annoyed, tired, or frustrated helping the customer, they pretend and make it seem like their chats aren't getting sent or going through and make it seem like it's a system issue. They keep you waiting without sending you a response and then eventually they do something to restart the chat and they transfer you to a different representative. Horrible and shoddy customer service.

Frontier was perhaps the only internet service available in our somewhat rural neighborhood for many years, and because of that, the slow internet speeds were just something we got accustomed to for our family needs. During the pandemic, a hotspot was leased from a cellular carrier in order to provide additional bandwidth for working from home. When news of a new internet service provider being an option in our neighborhood came in early 2022, almost everyone here jumped at the chance to switch. That is when the true colors of Frontier's customer service came to light, as knowing they were losing 25+ customers caused a service disruption to go on for weeks. We literally had no internet service from them for almost two months.
Phone calls resulted in a scheduled technician visit, but no one ever showed up, and no follow up was received. To make matters worse, the monthly billing invoices arrived with no adjustments, and additional calls had to be made to fix two months worth of billing discrepancies. Ironically, after our new provider started service and we canceled Frontier, I received text messages saying the service outage had finally been fixed. We also received an invoice for equipment that was returned, which required another phone call to resolve, and now I just paid a $10 "Disconnect Fee" just to make it go away rather than waste more of my time disputing another (last?) attempt at a money grab. All in all, the subpar service capabilities were mostly out of Frontier's control and were understood to be the best they could offer, but the bitter taste of poor customer service - which is 100% controllable - will be the lasting memory of our time with their company.

I had Frontier for a year and there were always problems with my bill. They constantly added charges to my bill that weren't part of the contract. When I finally got tired of dealing with them, I decided to end my contract with them and started to try to close my account with them in October. The representative from frontier said she didn't know how to close the account and I had to call back in November because that was when my contract is truly up. In November I was told once again I couldn't close my account even though my contract was truly up.
The whole time they kept charging overcharging my account for services I didn't want. Finally in December I told them they had to close my account because I refuse to pay for services, I am no longer using because I had already returned the equipment back to them. In January, they charged me again and I reported it as fraud. I wasn't able to get help from any of the supervisors to get my account closed for three months.

I live north of Minneapolis and we have two options for internet service, Frontier and a locally-owned company using 5G technology. We chose to go with the 5G service because we wanted to support a small local company and their monthly rate was less than Frontier. We ended our service with them 5 days into our billing cycle. They will not charge a customer a prorate for a small portion of a billing cycle's usage. I have spoken with them multiple times and they will speak to you as chipper as they can be, but they will not accommodate your needs nor will they empathize with you if you're in a financial situation that doesn't allow you to refuse to pay them.
We went as far as figuring out what the daily charge was and sent them a check for the 5 days as well as the local taxes and fees associated with a billing cycle's charge. We also included a letter explaining how we came to that check amount and why we see it's fair we pay for the 5 days. They deposited that check, but still request the remaining balance. I spoke with 3 different agents, a phone call lasting 30 minutes, and all of them chipper as can be said they cannot waive the balance, they're not allowed to do that. I was then threatened that they would file my neglect to make a payment with a credit score agency. This lack of empathy and understanding is something that raises many red flags for me and acknowledges why this company has such a poor reputation. If possible do not do business with Frontier.

I had Frontier internet a little less than 6 weeks. That's all I could take. Gaming was pretty much impossible, connection dropping every 10 minutes or so. I contacted Frontier 3 days after installation due to internet dropping. Was assured there was a line break. This continued for the next month. Internet down, contact Frontier, get an excuse. The final straw was a 5 day outage, over my bi-weekly weekend off. I pay for Playstation Plus, I pay for an online game. No playing. No streaming. For 5 days straight, and a different excuse from everyone I talked.
A technician visit was scheduled, I was warned I may be charged for it. This was after 5 weeks of Frontier. As if by magic my internet reconnected on day 5. Then I was done. I paid over $150 to have this garbage internet put in, and a ten dollar disconnect fee. And I've been billed for an entire other month, even though I had the service for less than 6 weeks. This internet was down as much as it was up. Please save yourself the aggravation and stay away from Frontier!

I hateeee this company. Literally the worst in the world. Directly asked them about programs, incentives, etc. for low income individuals. They tell me there are none. I find out later about the government ACP program, which entitled us to a waived installation fee and money off our bill every month and Frontier is a provider under this gov program. Only 4 days after having his cable installed, my father passed away. We called and immediately cancelled the service since it was for him and we were assured there would be no balance nor charges due and the installation fee would be waive (which we were fighting to have waived since he was eligible for the gov assistance program anyway). I also returned my equipment and they confirmed receipt. Didn’t hear from them after they.
Now 4 months later, I get notice from my bank of a new collections account for $140. Guess who from? FRONTIER! Saying I owed them money for the installation fee which was supposed to be waived in 2 cases! They did not contact me about owing anything not one time. No calls, no emails, no mail. NOTHING! Just sent a bill that didn’t exist to collections and now it’s on my credit while I’m self employed and trying to buy a house. WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD.

I have had Frontier for many many years and being a loyal customer. Months ago I notice that my internet bill was so high and I called customer service and they said my phone line for the internet has been used for long distance call (calls to New York from California) and billed me more than $800. Thought my 5 year old has been messing with the phone because that would be an only way coz why would someone sane would make phone calls like that. After making million phone calls talking to many many agents, repeating the same story over and over again every time I was told that the phone line will be added and just pay $344 and your account will be current and back to normal. So I was so tired of it and paid it. They were supposed to give me an explanation on it within 72 hours. Of course no one call back.
Now again they have added $508 from a phone call made in April and I was on the phone for 2 hours and 35 minutes trying to solve this problem. Answer from the supervisor is “sorry we can’t do anything about it. There was a billing issue. You will have to pay it. And there is no one else to talk to and no other solution other than paying". This is just ridiculous. Worst customer service ever. The most frustrating part is there is no one there to help. This is my first time writing a review and I hate complaining. But this is a very unfortunate situation a larger company like this has zero customer service.

We switched our internet to Frontier Fiber on July 24th. The Frontier tech said another team would be at the house in 3-4 days to bury the line (which is lying across the front yard). After a week, we checked back with the tech that did the installation and he said the ticket he entered had been deleted so he opened another one. On August 8th, the line was still not buried. Called customer service, they had no record of any ticket for us. I was told one was being created now and another tech would have to come back out to the house to do a site survey before the ticket could be handed over to the 3rd party who would do the burial. I called back later that week and confirmed this had been done and the scheduled date for burial was the 19th. No one came. I called back on the 20th and was told the vendor just got behind and they would be onsite Monday the 22nd. No one came.
I called back on the 23rd. The customer service agent was surprised this had not been completed on the 19th as the ticket order stated, said we needed to get this resolved as exposed fiber in the yard would be a safety risk. After holding for several minutes, I was then told by the same agent that they are behind and can offer no date, just whenever they are able to get to it. Could be tomorrow, could be 5 weeks from now, just indefinitely, and there was nothing else they could do about it, and I was supposed to be fine with that. One month now with fiber stretched across the front yard and no time frame as to how long it will be like this. No other option for a different vendor for Frontier to partner with, just keep selling the service with false commitments, and sending more tickets to a vendor that has no plans to complete them apparently. Asked to speak to a manager, I was told they would just tell me the same thing and refused to pass my call to them.

After Frontier's fiber optic internet service is out, 2 days and counting, it has taken 2 days for Frontier to put a notice on the phone number you call to say that the service is out and they don't know when it will be fixed. No estimate!!?? Frontier's fiber optic service for the entire state of California is down. No public announcement about when it is expected to be repaired, doing everything we can to repair it, thank you, customers, for being so patient. NOTHING!
Frontier's customer focus makes Comcast - number 1 in the nation for bad customer service - look like they are on training wheels to be bad. While calling to speak with a representative, their system said I don't have an account because it did not recognize my phone number. Their system only recognizes a VOIP phone number bought through Frontier. Any other phone number is just not your phone number. The system asks if you would rather have a call back. I agreed. That put me in the endless looping "would you like a call back" request mode, so I eventually just hung up.
I called back and finally got through to a very nice CS agent and asked how I could file a complaint. He promptly transferred me to customer service - which is closed for the weekend and all state wide system failures. We have a home based business and rely on good internet service. There are very limited choices so companies like Frontier and Xfinity (Comcast changed their name since it had such bad customer recognition) are able to get away with extremely poor performance. I am looking forward to Musk's satellite based system. Whoever is in charge of customer relationships and customer service at Frontier - better freshen up your resume and try to hide your responsibility for these failed programs.

We stayed home to wait, both of us, from 8 AM to 12. At 11 AM they sent us a text saying they closed the ticket because we weren't there even though we were. There were actually three of us here and always near the door. After calling them to complain they said they'd send someone later in the day. When I called yet again at 4:45 they said, "No, sorry, the service technicians only work until 5 PM." Just a run around from start to finish.

I use Frontier internet as it is my only option in my area other than satellite. I want to tell share my experience with anyone who is considering using them. I had an outage on July 8th or 9th 2022 which was caused by a storm. I chatted with their tech support on my cell phone for 45 minutes while we went through all the troubleshooting steps. They determined they needed to send a tech, they scheduled the tech for July 28th, yes that is 20 days later... Unknown to me, they moved my ticket to completed on the 16th of July and never told me and the technician never showed up on the 28th. I chatted with them again today, they couldn't find my ticket so we went through all the troubleshooting steps again to be told they would have to send a tech again and it would be on August 30th, yes that is 20 days away AGAIN.
I didn't like this response so I called into tech support and explained the situation to Nathan who agreed with me that this is too long to wait for the issue to be resolved but he couldn't do anything about it. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was told one would call me back within the hour. I am not very confident this will happen or if I will get any resolution to this matter. If you are thinking about Frontier internet, remember everything is great when it works but the true medal of a company is what happens when the client needs help.

Original Review: Where we live, AT&T was selected in 2013 for their services and channels available. Once AT&T was moved to Frontier it was downhill from there. Increased pricing while eliminated channels, decreased quality and low reliability forced a change on 7/25/22. To add insult to injury - the company does not prorate your last bill and then they charge you a final $10 to disconnect your service!!! I just found today two additional items that indicates to me a Profits 1st/Customer 2nd mentality. In my opinion - Very Sad!! Stay Well - Stay Safe.

I have had Frontier service for years. About a year ago they increased the rate on my service without notifying me and switched me to paperless billing without my request to do so. Despite my requests to receive a bill, they never changed it and never even sent me an electronic bill. So I continued to send in the payment I had always been paying every month. After a year they had a collector call me to demand payment for the difference in what they increased it to and what I had been paying, plus a slew of late charges.
I spend several hours on the phone over a few phone calls trying to find out how this is possible only to be shut down every time with the answer that it is my fault for not keeping track of the payments. Well, they never notified me of anything until a year had passed and requests to receive paper statements went unanswered. This is absolutely the worst customer service and I think what they have done is actually criminal. If you choose to do business with this company, I highly suggest that you watch your back because they do not care one once about their customers.

For 3 years I have had Frontier for INTERNET with a 500/500 mbps plan at a little over $61 and change per month (it was much cheaper when I started out with them at $29.99). Yes, it has doubled in three years time. Atrocious! I had Verizon before they were bought out by Frontier and stuck it out with Frontier because Verizon was decent to work with.
Never have I gotten anywhere near 500/500 speeds that my Internet plan hinted at. Yes I know it says UP TO 500/500 mbps. But I am talking WI-FI speeds on my phone of 79 mbps on average and around 250 mbps via direct connect and then lulls in service to speeds that cause buffering on my TV late night around 11 pm+. Yes, I complained and complained and complained. The only explanation is they had to be throttling my service that I was paying a lot for, in my opinion. What other reason could there be?
So I tried cancelling today via chat. First rep hung up on me, second rep got a manager and hung up on me. Third time they got a manager too just because I said I wanted to cancel. I did not swear, I was not rude, I was sarcastic....but after 45 mins of my time on the phone with them and asking repeatedly to cancel my service, they tell me they can't do that by CHAT and I must call a different number to cancel. 45 mins of my time wasted to just tell me they are of no use from my very first question of, "Please cancel my service."
The frustration of using poor service for so long and paying too much for it and then the audacity to waste my time to just cancel my service is too much to bear. I can't count the number of hours on the phone with tech support I wasted on a problem that NEVER got fixed. Now they insist on wasting my time to try to get me to stay with them and not service my request to cancel. These guys should be put out of business.

I moved to Bandon, Oregon in November 2010, and signed up for a land line phone with Frontier. I was told that I had to wait to sign up with internet when a customer in my neighborhood dropped their service, which turned out to be January. The reason that I chose Frontier is that the people I bought my house from recommended it; it was Verizon when they had it. All was fine until a few years ago when Frontier became Ziply Fiber. Apparently Ziply is only in Oregon, and everyone else still has Frontier. The company isn’t doing well financially. I was called by Ziply and told that fiber optics were replacing DSL, and I needed to schedule an appointment for installation, so I did.
I was stood up after waiting at home for six hours on my appointment day. When I called Ziply, I was told that my appointment was rescheduled (nice of them to tell me). Then that appointment was rescheduled again and was for 5/25/22. The man arrived earlier than scheduled, after calling to check if it was OK. The young guy standing on my porch was dressed in a tee shirt and jeans, with no I.D. except for a Ziply magnetic sign on his truck.
He looked in the backyard, then told me Ziply was having trouble with their underground equipment, and would have to dig a trench from the nearby street, through my long gravel driveway, and run a line under the house, to the backyard. I am a renter, and told this guy that I had to call my landlord to OK this. He came right over, and told the guy, "No," and sent him away. When the supervisor called, I told him that my landlord would not allow the extensive digging that we were told would have to be done. His reply? He told me to reschedule the Ziply installation because he didn’t know how much longer my DSL would be in service! I would be signing up with another provider.
I chose Spectrum, and in the weeks since, I have been told over and over that Ziply had a “freeze” on my phone number, which was to be ported over to my Spectrum phone service. I have called numerous times, and been told by each different CS person that it was taken care of, only to have the Spectrum Sales manager call to tell me that there was still a freeze on my number by Ziply. I have lost countless hours being out on hold, been switched over to other people, and I am upset.
Finally, I emailed their executive office and got a woman to help. She said the CS reps who unfroze my phone number did it incorrectly, and it was a training problem, which would be addressed. I was given a new install date of 6/20/22 at 8 am. Today a Spectrum person called to say that she had to reschedule my appointment because the 20th is a Holiday. I asked what holiday that was, after looking at a calendar and seeing nothing, and she said JUNETEENTH!
For this bogus holiday that someone made up this year, I have been moved four days back for my new service! AND my Ziply Fiber supposedly will not provide DSL after the 21st. I am beyond disgusted. All of these internet/phone providers are terrible! The head of Spectrum sales assured me that she’s going to take care of me and get my installation moved up sooner. We’ll see.

Updated on 5/20/2022: In response to Frontier, this was my reply: I have reached out and all I get is false promises. My online statement has yet to be adjusted and even has a late fee?!? I don't trust any Frontier representatives as they have all lied to me on numerous occasions. WHEN my statements truly reflect the removal of the bogus charges, then I'll know it resolved! Frontier should give me discounts for all the frustration during this issue, it was NOT until I contacted the FCC that Frontier even bother to contact me in the first place! You say it’s NOT intentional, try telling that to the Frontier customer BLOGS, even your own tech support that came to my house WARNED me of this Frontier practice! I will continue to scream this story from the mountain tops UNITL I get an apology and a resolution!
Original Review: I filed the following complaint to numerous agencies regarding Frontier Communications; FCC, BBB, My Florida Service Commission, FL Dept of Ag, FTC, News agencies, and Social Media outlets: "In November of 2021, I replaced my Frontier router with my own. Frontier sent a technician to remove and re-rout some of their equipment. The technician insisted on taking my old router and provided a receipt for it, stating that if I mailed it in, it would get lost, and Frontier would charge me for it. Six months) later (May 2022, Frontier added an extra $100 + $7.50 tax fee to my billing statement for “Unreturned Equipment Fee”."
"After numerous calls and hours of being on hold, each representative would claim it was resolved and give me a new “normal” payment and each new statement would show the extra fee, despite the fact I provided a returned receipt from the technician. Apparently, Frontier has a reputation for doing this as there are massive BLOGS regarding this issue. This is criminal as Frontier threatens to send customers to a collection agency and ruining their credit score! PLEASE STOP Frontier Communications from this illegal practice."
There is a scam taking place with this company as evident by various BLOGS in which Frontier is unduly charging for returned equipment and then threating consumers with late fees, collections, and negative credit reports. My technician told me Frontier would charge me and six-month later they did. After 4 months and hours on hold the issues was NOT resolved. It was not until they were contacted by the FCC, did Frontier call me and claim the problem as resolved, however I have heard this lie before and still pending a new corrected billing statement as of 5/19/2022.
I want consumers to understand that if you return equipment to this company MAKE SURE TO OBTAIN A PAPER RECEIPT! I was provided one as well, and STILL Frontier is attempting to charge me for a returned router. While making it nearly impossible to speak with a person, and if you do speak to a Frontier rep, they are incompetent and will not correctly address your issue, hang up on you, or make false promises. The ONLY way to fix this is to contact FCC and file a complaint until Frontier learns a lesson! I feel a class action lawsuit should be implemented as Frontier seems to have mischievous motives as this appears to be a common occurrence.

The next person said it would be ready by noon the following day, nope.

I had Frontier Communications internet service for over 15 yrs, simply because there was no other service, with the exception of satellite broadband, available in my area. Recently my local power company contracted with a provider and started running fiber optic thru the area. I immediately signed up knowing it would be better even if it was more expensive. After years of complaining to Frontier about the slow speeds and constant disconnects, all to no avail, I was happy to kick them to the curb.
They did however manage to gouge me two more times before it was all over. I called and disconnected my service in the middle of the month, and the representative on the phone told me I would need to return the modem they had provided, and that I could return it to the local UPS store at no cost to me. I did so, and then when I got my monthly bill I noticed that they had charged me the full charge for a month of service. I called them, and they said if you disconnect at any point of the month, they still bill you for the entire month. This was infuriating, but I didn't want a ding on my credit, so I paid it.
Then today I get a bill in the mail from Frontier and they charged me another $10 for disconnect fee! I called again and got all the placating about it being in the service agreement that I signed when I got the service 15 yrs ago, which I'm quite certain is just a lie because being a techie who reads everything I read the agreement, but I'll pay them their lousy $10, and spread the word every chance I get to avoid them if you can. I told the last representative that I'm sure they will go the way of all others has been like MCI.

Hi, Jeff. We apologize for the inconvenience. The $10 fee is to cover the cost of processing the disconnection of your service at the central office or remote facility.

The Social Media Team offered to "broker" a resolution to this issue, and to my amazement, they did! They were able to get local Frontier employees in Santa Barbara involved in the issue. The local technician walked the site, listened to the issue, understood the events to date and took ownership of the problem. He is a RockStar for Frontier as is the Account Mgr they assigned me.
Frontier Corporate would do better to just delay installs, giving customers credit for free months of service while they wait for Frontier's techs to do the install work. I would not have thought it possible to redeem Frontier in my eyes, but Jacquelyn and Jonanthan did. Well done!
Original Review: April 17, 2022
I have cancelled my order for Frontier Fiber Internet even though their new fiber is on utility pole, on my property, and a direct 75' drop to the home service entrance. And even though it may save me $75/month over Cox. Why? Because the only frontier the company is on is the one where disrespect for your time is job 1 and honesty in communication and service delivery is a non-existent. Over the last 10 weeks since placing the order I have spent 20 hours waiting on Frontier across 5 scheduled visits they did not show up for. I have lost additional hours in sixteen (16) separate personal interactions with them.
When they finally ran fiber to my home last week it came from 350' away and did not reach the service entrance of the house. Reaching that entrance will require another 100' of interior fiber cable. Finally, on the day of the interior install, another no show, no communications until the next day - a text saying "they could not gain access" - which is just 100% a lie - I was here all day. Comparatively, Cox is the gold standard. I know many of you existing Cox customers will find this hard to believe. So do I. Yet Frontier and their contractors here in Santa Barbara, CA are TERRIBLE. I have relayed this info to their Chief Customer Operations via LinkedIn, she couldn't be bothered to reply. They literally do not care. Supporting a company that treats customers this badly is the last thing I want to do. You may choose to do differently, but you should at least be aware of how others are being treated.

I scheduled a transfer of service from one address to another which was confirmed by Frontier Communications. The Tech never showed up, never called, and when I called they promised that they will still show up, and they never did. I called again and scheduled for next day, again they never showed up, this affects us since we work from home since COVID, and they knew that, but I guess they didn't care.
They finally showed up the third day, but never completed the job, and I was left without cable or internet. They still charged me for the tech service which did not occur, although customer service promised in 5 separate occasions and 5 separate calls that I will not be charged. So I cancelled the service and went with Spectrum who came in the same day and connected me. The bottom line Customer service lied thru their teeth multiple times, and never kept their promise neither for service nor for charge. I will not recommend Frontier Communication to anyone.

Avoid using Frontier Communications for your Internet, TV, and phone service-- you will sleep better at night and avoid lots of frustration and anxiety. Cheap is no consolation when you cannot communicate. Frontier is by far the worse Internet provider, and their service is deplorable. I own three properties with services provided by AT&T; Flow in Jamaica, and Comcast. The equipment is so far behind these other companies that it is laughable. Most annoying--there is no voice feature on the remote to verbally ask for shows or channels, etc. The most egregious part of the company is their "no service." I am currently scheduled for a technician to come out 5 days after the initial disruption of service to get my Internet and TV service restored. This is about the third time I have had to wait between 3 to 5 days for a technician to be scheduled. This is unconscionable!
Since the phone service is controlled by them, I could possibly be affected with no phone service in the future. Thank God for cell phones. This is so frustrating because I and my employees work from home during COVID--publishing a newspaper and printing time-sensitive legal notices. This situation is occurring in my 2nd home in a new condo building in Fl. I have been told that I have no alternative other than Frontier because the developer had the building wired by Frontier.

Frontier bought our phone lines from Verizon fifteen years ago. Since then both the phone and internet service and the customer service have declined to the point that interactions with them are now actively insulting. We've had phone lines hanging in trees and lying across driveways for well over a year (this is not an exaggeration - I have pictures.) The service goes out every couple of months due to this ridiculous lack of maintenance.
The customer service system has been designed intentionally to make it impossible to speak to anyone who has accurate information or authority to correct anything. Half a dozen times over the past two years, I've been told that there's no way to resolve my issue except to have a "supervisor" call me back, and then the supervisor never calls. I'm reported the company repeatedly to the Public Utilities Commission, which briefly got our lines repaired quickly, but that only lasted through the spring. Now we're back to neglect and refusal to communicate. These crooks were granted a monopoly and get paid extra money by the state in order to provide service to rural areas.

In September, various construction crews and trucks began showing up in my neighborhood, towing around spools of orange conduit lines and ditch witch equipment. I later found out that they were here to install Frontier Communications in-ground, high-speed, fiber-optic internet. As a Charter/Spectrum/BrightHouse customer for over 10 years, I can say that I was initially very excited about having another option for an internet service provider.
On October 5th at exactly 1:30 PM, there was a crew in my front yard with a ditch witch, clearly drilling into the ground. They spilled some foreign substance on my yard and it absolutely destroyed a 2 square yard patch of my grass that is now a dead zone. I wish this was where the story ended. Fast forward 1 month later, on Sunday, November 7th. Sewer water began backing up into my house and leaking onto the floor. It was an absolute mess and took quite some time to clean up. I contacted a plumber the following morning and after hours of diagnosing, snaking, and ultimately hydro-jetting the sewer line, we noticed the smell of sewer water coming from the newly installed frontier cable box.
I decided to drive down the block and grab a couple of Frontier's contracted workers who were still in my neighborhood. They stopped by and opened up the box to discover a few inches of sewer water bubbling up inside the box. So they dug up the area around the box to find that the damages were caused by the workers having drilled right through my sewer line. (Photos and Videos Attached)
After missing a day of work, I had to spend $1,375 to get an issue fixed that was created on behalf of Frontier's negligence during their installation (and/or the contractors they chose to hire). After over 3 hours of phone calls, I got ahold of Zurich, which is Frontier's Insurance Company. They were super helpful at first in helping me open a claim, but ultimately passed me off to two different 3rd party contractors who Frontier hired to do the installation work. Those companies are Lambert's Cable Splicing Co., LLC, and MasTec Advanced Technologies. Here we are, over 3 weeks later, and none of the above companies seems to want to accept responsibility.
I don't believe it should fall on me to go back and forth with 3rd party contractors that were chosen by Frontier. In my opinion, Frontier should be held responsible for reimbursing me, and then THEY can figure out which of the 2 companies they hired owes them money. Especially now that the holidays are fast approaching.

I was supposed to be paying 50 a month and it was automatically deducted from my debit card but each month I would receive a call from Frontier telling me I owed a bill of anywhere from 34 dollars to 54 dollars and I would go through this process and pay it being charged a additional 5 dollars just to pay it by phone. This went on for 5 years till we moved. Then as I was on the phone with frontier getting everything transferred over to my new address the woman told me that I had 2 accounts active. She then looked into it and said it was a mistake on their part and told me that I had overpaid them 570 dollars and she needs to transfer me to billing.
Once the transfer was made the person told me thay were so sorry and he was going to refund me the overpayment. Then I lost the call and not a minute later my internet was off. I called back and nobody knew what I was talking about and how I only had the one account and it was overdue for payment. I haven't had any luck getting it straight since and my internet was never turned on since that was 3 years ago.

I briefly tried Frontier for Internet and television service but quickly switched back to Spectrum because of being displeased with the service. AT&T TV is the only TV provider they offer and even though the connection was via fiber, and not satellite or coax, I found it slower and not nearly as efficient as Spectrum. The Wi-Fi in my home was not nearly as widespread as it had been with spectrum and AT&T TV will nickel and dime you to death to get everything that spectrum provides at a much lower price. The icing on the cake however was after switching back to spectrum there was almost a $100 charge for early termination, After only having service for less than 30 days.
If frontier had offered some enhancements to boost the Wi-Fi and a different television service provider available on their network I may have remained with them but I should not have to go through all of this trial-and-error to get satisfaction from a company that big and they should provide a much better lineup of television service providers, Instead of forcing me to use the only one they have a relationship with.

If you can avoid this Company that just came out of bankruptcy, do so at all cost.

We had slow to non-existent internet service for years with Frontier and then upon calling them in early 2021 was able to upgrade from their basic service of 12 mbps to 25 mbps which enabled us to sign up for NetFlix, Disney, and another movie service. On or about Sept 10th of 2021 I was not able to watch any of the movie services that I had been paying for. I ran several "ping tests" and found that I was back to 14mbps. So now I must consider going to a different service - Frontier has been ok but not great, and now we just can't do it anymore.

This is likely due to an issue on the network that needs to be investigated. Have you discussed this matter with anyone to verify that it's not an issue that can easily be resolved remotely? ~Eva

Supposedly, they are selling you high speed, optic fiber, blah, blah, blah, but when the signal comes into your home, forget about optic fiber, you are on common wifi. No high speed when your neighbor turn on their TV, besides at night, the bandwidth shrink and more than half of your devices gone off of signal. Besides, if you check your internet speed with a different application than the Frontier, you can see that your wifi is running behind the average most of the time (from 500 Mgb to 45).

My internet has been out for five days and every time I call, the story changes. First it was my equipment and the soonest service call would be in a week. When I stated that wasn’t acceptable, it was suddenly an outage. Next call, I’m told there is no outage but might be my equipment. Wait, there is an outage and it would be fixed in 24-48 hours. That time passes and it is not fixed. Still claiming it’s an outage, but nothing can be done. No updates, no consolation. Just my bad luck, I suppose. At this point, I am certain that in lieu of moving up my appointment, they are simply lying and claiming an outage - it is still not listed on the outage map.

So because of that they went from charging us 29.99 for the fax line to 49.99 (just for the line) + if we had to keep sending and receiving all these faxes that we have for the past 20 years we would then have to pay for an extra 135.00 just to buy 5,000 minutes to cover my faxes.
And that is not all folks, they simply stopped our faxes from coming without any warning! We are a medical facility, and they simply do not have the right to do that!!!

I will give you a brief summary of the issue but more details are best in conversation. To sum it up, my wife logged in online to pay our bill early only to find that the bill has increased. Since we haven't received the paper bill in the mail yet we called in to see what the difference was. Once we found out I started to call your competitors to find better pricing since I was not informed of any price increases. I accepted a deal from one of your competitors and I called into your call center to cancel my service on Monday June 21, 2021 at 6:13PM. Spoke with a wonderful young lady and informed her of my cancelation. She asked why and the conversation started from there.
Eventually, we both came to a mutual agreement and she convinced me to stay a loyal customer with the understanding that our agreement will be honored. The agreement was that I would keep my current pricing which my bill breakdown is $39.99 for service, $10 for router and a $3 increase for the internet infrastructure from $3.99 to $6.99 so my total monthly bill will go from $55 to $58 monthly and she will be upgrading my internet from the 200/200 to the 500/500 and setup a appt for a tech to install a new upgraded router. She also received approval to go ahead and waive the $85 tech fee. With all the conditions we mutually agreed to, I would stay a loyal customer.
Today, Tuesday June 22, 2021 I received a email stating that my new monthly charges would be $90 and I'm being charged the $85 tech fee and my next bill would be $180, which is not what was agreed. I called in to inquire about it and the first guy I spoke with said the promotions were put in incorrectly and he would have to cancel my order and tech appt to correctly input the changes. Since my wife had canceled her appts I was unhappy and asked for a supervisor. I spoke with MATT who was not willing to help or offer any solutions. He basically said the lady I spoke with was lied to me. There is nothing he could do except waive the $85 fee. All monthly charges he could not do anything.
I would like a to talk to someone in the corporate department about this issue and I would like someone to pull the recorded call I had on June 21, 2021 at 6:13PM to confirm the conversation. Myself being a loyal customer am upset and feel betrayed that I would be lied to and taken advantage of about this. The conversation I had with escalation supervisor MATT really upset me and I would like to give someone in the corporate department the opportunity to correct and rectify this situation. According to (MATT) I have until July 13th to make a decision.
I hope someone will do the right thing and make this situation right. I would hate for Frontier to lose a perfect paying loyal customer to a competitor because I was lied to. Even notations in the account can confirm what I was suppose to get. I would also hate to have to write a detailed and negative review against Frontier and its employees for lying to me. And I would feel obligated to inform my friends and family and social media about how I was lied to and have a supervisor tell me that another employee doesn't know the correct information and make false promises just to try to keep a customer, just to end up losing them to a competitor. I hope someone contacts me immediately, for in the meantime I will calling your competitors and making arrangements to cancel and switch service just in case Frontier doesn't correct and rectify this situation. I await your prompt and timely response.. Thank you.

Updated on 07/01/2021: 7/1-3rd follow up-Frontier has not called me back but I did get a message back from the FCC that Frontier still claims I owe them $117.XX back. They 'generously' offered not to charge me for the internet service that I cancelled and never used! In response to FCC I attached a copy of my Dish billing that verified I already paid Dish AND I found the original cancellation ticket number 'issued by Frontier' that confirmed I called on 4/30 and cancelled all service. Remember Frontier originally said I didn't cancel service until 5/5 or 5/8 AND that they couldn't find records of the call on 4/30. Awaiting response from Frontier/FCC sent on 6/15. I guess one positive is they did send a box to return their equipment, I kept the receipt from UPS and actually received an email from Frontier confirming shipment to them.
Updated on 6/7/2021: A follow up for my last review of Frontier on 4/30/21 :(. Too bad there is not a 0 or negative rating.... I have had to file my 3rd FCC complaint with Frontier for billing and service. PLEASE NOTE - if you stop service with Frontier be ABSOLUTELY SURE you remove your autopay account. Fortunately for me I did! I received a call from Frontier 6/3/21 stating I owed them additional money for my bundled satellite service for the month of May. Wanted to charge me $179.02, mind you service ended 4/29, satellite without bundle discount is $122, wanted to charge me ANOTHER $10 disconnect fee after they previously offered not to AND charge me $45 for May service. What can I say other than no way in hellare you getting another dime from me!
Immediately told them I would file with the FCC and promptly filed the complaint. Called them 6/4 to find out what happened with the boxes they were supposed to send to return their routers (already 45 days late) and provided them the FCC complaint number. Received another call in the afternoon saying they would drop the $45 May service charge and an argued they prepay for satellite so I needed to reimburse them. Advised I had already paid satellite for May and June directly.
Reviewed my last billing from Frontier paid in April for service. You pre-pay for Frontier service so I had already paid for May! They did not credit me even though service ended on 4/29. All their 'records' indicated billing/service ended 5/5 or even 5/8. As a reminder they have all your billing information on their screen when they call you so they know what your service dates are INSTANTLY when they call you. Obviously I will be demanding they credit me and they are supposed to call me back today 6/7. Don't ever let these jokers bully you into paying them, file FCC complaints and post reviews on public sites like this as it does get 'senior mgmt' awareness.
Original review: If I could rate a 0 it would be well earned. :( When Frontier broke away from Verizon 10+ yrs ago initially things were pretty good. About every 1-2 yrs we would lose phone service. It was almost always due to mice getting into their distribution box. Usually repaired within a couple days. DSL was provided about 7-8 yrs ago and initially was good. Within the last 5 yrs service was getting worse and worse. Phone was down almost every time it rained, DSL dropped from 3Mb to 1 or 0.1 speed even on Sunday mornings when everyone is asleep so we knew it wasn't our usage. Found out they had not upgraded any equipment even though customer base for DSL expanded from 10-30 to 300+. Phone service was so bad we ended up dropping and getting internet phone for $5/month. DSL still functioned albeit could be intermittent when it rained. Even with slow DSL internet phone worked better than direct phone line. :(
A couple of times when the phone service quit it was 2 weeks before it was repaired. Tried billing us for repairs we were not responsible for. Ended up filing 2 FCC claims to get it working. That's when things started getting repaired however we continued to have issues with just DSL. Due to our location no other service was available from Frontier or anyone else so we just put up with it. Worst part is a private company ran a T1 line down the road for their use and no one else was allowed to connect. I get it. The company paid for their private line but obviously improved service was needed and nothing was planned or provided.
Finally a year ago a different company advertised they were installing fiber in the area. They had so many customers sign up. Our section of the county was 1st to get connected. We finally got connected yesterday and the speed was literally 50 times better than Frontier for $5 more/month. We went from $65/month for Frontier phone/internet to $45 for just DSL (plus internet phone $5) to $50. Now we are at $55/month for fiber and internet phone total. So 50X faster speed and $10 cheaper than previous comparable service. Mother has same service with Frontier and also have similar issues with her service even though she is in a different part of the county and different equipment.
Phone and internet have been down 2X for a total of 7 days lost service in the last 30 days for her. As soon as the other company gets fiber run we are obviously changing service for mother as well. I can say tech/repair/service people have been good to work with all the issues but again if the service isn't there I cannot continue to pay and not get the service I pay for. Sorry Frontier. Most people don't like to change their utility services but when you can't serve properly we have no other choice but to change.

The tens of thousands of dollars they might lose from a few disgruntled customers is a drop in the bucket compared to the billions they make every year and besides they have an arbitration clause in the contract so nobody can sue them, unless you bring in class action suit against them, which does nothing but change the way they screw the consumer.

Unless Frontier cable is the only company available, shop around. I had Frontier since it bought Verizon here in California. Initially, the transition was easy without any cost differences. As you probably surmised, things changed quickly in very short order. The most unpleasant experiences you can expect with Frontier is with Customer Service. When you phone with questions about your bill often times the representative fair but any questions about costs, billing or increases and you will be referred to a "different level" (their terms not mine). They call it "Retention and Customer Loyalty." The label is a misnomer.
Notwithstanding whether or not you are a loyal bill paying customer, Frontier really doesn't care at all about you. They may offer you a one month "discount" to get you off the call, but it is back to hard core business. With Frontier, expect to lose channels and see your monthly cost increase. Note, however, their tech folks are very good and patient. Shop around before you commit. AT&T and Spectrum are supposedly in my area. If so, I will compare and contrast plans by cost.

FRONTIER customer service and technical service staff lied to me that I could get a waiver of my $10 a month WIFI router service fee. They verified this with a link on the Frontier website on how to return the wifi router and get the $10 monthly fee waiver. Frontier sent me a box to return it and receipted the return of my wifi router. Their customer service agents continued to promise the waiver of my $10 a month wifi router service fee. But I never received this waiver and still pay $10 a month wifi router service fee for a wifi that Frontier receipted the return of and that I cannot use. Beyond this, Frontier DSL internet service is much slower than the advertised rate, and regularly goes down entirely on a daily basis. Sometime, when the Frontier DSL internet service goes down for an entire day, they will send me a text message to my cell phone (different carrier) that Frontier knows my service is down and they are fixing it.
With the monopoly contract Frontier has, I have no other choice for provider to my home. I find Frontier's customer service and technical agents polite, but they seem instructed to lie and are never are able to remedy or help fix the DSL speed, simple operation, or waivers as promised. I feel this is partly due to the negligence and lacking management under Frontier's recent Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Reorganization of Assets. I would leave Frontier immediately if another provider were available, but I'm trapped in this monopoly.

Have had many back and forth phone calls for service. Started with no phone service. They said they fixed the problem, which they did not. Billed us for voice over internet protocol (VOIP) a few months ago even after we unplugged the phone! Our service kept getting worse, usually after Microsoft so called upgrades. I complained to MS And never got real solutions. Just a total mess. Now, my PC has been unusable for one month and I cannot log on. It also appears my internet MBA is shared with others.

Spoke to Frontier Technical support on why my Internet suddenly got slower after their truck was driving around my neighborhood. After answering a litany of questions for the technician, they told me they didn't know and could not find out. So we set about figuring why my internet was now slow. I was told I had 12 devices on the network so my normally 6Mbps would only test to 0.5Mbps (which it was) because 6 divided by 12 is 0.5. This being far from the way networks behave the technician was so far mistaken and quite confident in their lie, that apparently they tell other customers all the time.
I shut down all 11 other devices and tested again - 0.5Mbps. When I called them out on this lie - Oh no, his testing tools were no longer working and I would need to get a callback (which never happened). Nearly 6 hours on the phone with 4 different techs and one cold cold hearted supervisor lead to no resolution. (Apparently, technical support is just subcontractors without any real skills or abilities.) So I filed complaints within Frontier and to my local consumer protection office. The bald-faced lies by Frontier continued.
They again reported to Consumer Protection their "findings" that my slowness was due to devices on the my network, long since disproven. (And my distance from the switch - which in my understanding of plate tectonics had not changed). Clearly Frontier has oversubscribed consumers at full price while delivering a slower and slower product. Sadly my own government is no longer empowered to protect consumers from these dishonest practices. Investors have learned Frontier Communications is a siphon to drain all money. Customers are just victims unable to get help themselves, as the CEO rakes in millions. Avoid avoid avoid and tell your friends, neighbors and elected officials (legitimate or not) to seek satisfaction for us customers.

I had Verizon FIOS before they sold it to Frontier in 2016. Not even a snail mail announcement just an email to an account I never used. Just one night no service, call them, get told weeks before I got service. Fortunately it was less than that. Frontier was so bad. The Florida attorney general actually got into the situation which is beyond rare in Florida. Months of incorrect bills all stemming from an issue that was ultimately in their office. Now four years later I have sold my Florida house and moved out of state. I asked for instructions about their equipment and was sent a box prepaid.
The power was disconnected at my old house on 8-3, I dropped their router off at UPS in NC on 8-7. Frontier is demanding an entire extra month of service because I didn't specifically tell them to cancel my account, no one told me I had to. Upon protest they try to claim they didn't get their equipment until 8-25, more likely they didn't bother to log it in for two weeks. Oh and of course there's also an additional fee to type it into their system that my account is closed. Billing cycle is mid month to mid month and they do not prorate so they already got paid for two weeks they were not entitled to as I disconnected the router on 7-31. I got what was possibly an illegal collections message left on my voice mail as well.
These people make everything as difficult and convoluted as they possibly can all in the name of picking your pockets because they think people will just cough up rather than fight with them. I had a second name on the account to help me keep my bill paid when I was out of pocket and they would routinely tell me that I wasn't the account holder. These people are either just complete criminals or totally incompetent maybe some combination of the two. The FIOS service itself wasn't bad but none of their gear had power backups, every tiny brownout or power glitch service went down for ten minutes till it all could cycle itself back to service.
I will never deal with this company again given a choice. I'm running into another IP trying to play some of the same games but once again I'm in a limited choice area. Broadband is not really a luxury anymore and states need to step in and make sure these companies aren't abusing their customers with abusive billing practices and purposeful acts designed to extort more money than they are entitled to.

Little did I know that it was 2 days into the Frontier billing cycle (thought it would be pro-rated) when I cancelled. I am now faced with a full month of charges from Frontier without having anymore internet and television services. This is unacceptable and I am not going to pay this bill.

From the very beginning, Frontier was not clear on anything when I spoke with them on the phone and when I would call back to follow up, they would tell me different things, including when I would get the modem/router shipped to me. They didn't tell me I needed a phone jack for the service I was getting (they weren't clear that I was getting DSL although I will concede it is my fault for not clarifying). When I finally figured out I needed it and that it would have to be installed in my new apt, I scheduled an appointment for a phone jack to be installed and for the connection to be set up. My roommate at the time was kind enough to come in to meet them there for an appointment since I would be at work at the time. When I was setting up the appointment, the customer service rep I talked to said they would just leave the router/modem when they installed the phone jack.
After I came home following the phone jack installation, I saw there was no router/modem so I called back and they said they would mail it to me and it could take up to a week (which wasn't even the final time frame they told me before I switched to needing an appointment). I talked to them about picking up a modem/router from one of their places and they confirmed a location was open despite the COVID shutdowns so I drove 45 mins to pick it up. It was closed. Fortunately there was an employee there who took pity on me and gave me one anyway. So I went to go set it up but it wasn't working so I called the company and the tech spent a while trying to figure it all out remotely and eventually determined there was no internet connection set up (My former roommate reported to me that she saw the man walk around the house with a device and then he came back and said"ok it's all set up").
The tech said he could send someone out again in a few days but again it would be when I was at work and at that point, I was so frustrated with them that I just decided to cancel and go with Spectrum. When cancelling with Frontier, the customer service rep after hearing my story said that they would give me a refund given that they charged me for installation that wasn't completed and a month of service that I never used. They said I would get that refund by July. I was skeptical that this would happen but I waited and of course, no refund. I called to follow up but the customer service reps said I needed a PIN that they generated that I could only find on hard copies of the bill which I didn't keep considering I paid the bill and did so online. They also informed me I could not access my online account because they closed it when I cancelled my account so I could not access that PIN and they would not let me verify in any other way.
I called my bank to challenge the credit card transaction, explaining the whole story. They credited me and said unless Frontier provides documentation refuting my story, I could keep that credit and if they did provide such documentation, they (the bank) would follow up with me. They never followed up with me which tells me Frontier did not successfully dispute my account of what happened. Today I got a notice saying Frontier placed the money that the bank had credited to me with a collector's office. I called again explaining the whole story and the customer service rep documented it (which someone should have done way at the beginning as I kept mentioning to them) and said I would have to follow up again with the collection department when they were open (they had closed for the evening). I'm extremely skeptical at this point that this will me do any good.
So in sum, they charged me for an installation that they didn't actually complete, they charged me for a service that I never used and didn't refund me when they said they would and then when my bank played its part to protect me, they put the money in a collector's office. They didn't document anything or communicate with each other so over and over again, I had to explain the whole saga. Everyone receives bad customer service now and then but I have usually felt like if I reach out, my problem is addressed in a somewhat timely fashion. This has dragged on for months, has taken several phone calls and I'm still being unjustly charged for service I didn't use. Don't go with Frontier.

I live in Los Angeles and have been a customer with Frontier for 6 years now from before they took over from Verizon. It has been the worst customer experience ever. In April 2020 I discovered that Frontier was overcharging me with old 'grandfathered' prices for my internet and TV. When I asked if my package price could be updated to the the current cheaper prices they refused. As a result I was forced to downgrade my TV package to a more basic one to save money.
Last week (4 months after my downgrade to a more basic TV package and losing a ton of channels already) without prior notice they canceled 74 extra channels (including all the channels I was assured would not be canceled back in April when I downgraded). As an official explanation I got: "(...) We recently determined that you are receiving channels that are not included in your TV package (...). We will remove these channels from your service." I asked a supervisor on their support team about it and he claimed it was "out of his hands". Imagine buying a car and after a while, AND after you discovered you overpaid for it, the dealership takes away your tires, claiming they were not yours in the first place!

Customer service is rude and unprofessional, every single time I've had to have someone come out for a repair, which is frequently as the service is abysmal, it takes three visits before anyone even actually shows up. I've taken days off of work to sit at home and wait for a technician who never shows up and then I get an email saying they signed off on my work order and my repair was completed when no one even showed up.
I spent 6 months without internet because they broke it and couldn't figure out how to fix it and/or their technicians just never showed up and they still made me pay the bills for each month and they also charged me three repair fees even though they're the ones who broke it. Literally, the issue ended up being that they came out to do an upgrade and then cut my line and just left it cut. I called to refuse the bills and the service call charges and they told me those were non negotiable and the cause of the outage didn't matter, nor did the fact that I had not had internet service for one single day over the course of that 6 month span. They are incompetent and that is literally robbery, I was paying for service I didn't have and for technicians that never showed up.
Every time I see a Frontier van in my neighborhood I get preemptively mad because every single time, without fail, that they do ANYTHING in your area you WILL lose your service for several months after and every time you call to ask them to please just make the service that you pay for work, they'll tell you everything looks fine on their end and they'll either hang up on you, tell you to load up an internet browser on your computer and go to their website to mess with the IP address (if I could do that then my internet would be working and I wouldn't be on the phone with the company who is clearly running for the World's Worst Customer Service award) or schedule a technician, who may or may not ever show up, to come out three weeks later, stare at your modem and say that it should be working and then leave without doing a single thing. And it's always three weeks later, by the way, you will never have a quick repair.
You will be without internet more often than you have it. My internet is currently down again, I saw the Frontier Van in my neighborhood and I was not exaggerating when I said that any time you see that you will lose service, literally as soon as I saw it on the street I sighed, walked into my house and sure enough the modem was blinking with the no service light.

This is the only review I have ever left on any product or service. I would have switched providers for my internet years ago, but sadly am required by my HOA to use Frontier FIOS for internet. When it works, the connecting is great. Unfortunately, as with most technology there are times when it is not working for one reason or another. The telephone numbers work sometimes, other times they are busy or randomly hang-up on you after a couple of minutes. If you desperately need to reach someone associated with Frontier you can always call their new business line. That line always works and the promotions people are very helpful. Again, unfortunately, they are not able to do anything besides refer you back to a single customer service line that doesn't work.
I was just on the phone for sixth time this morning and after waiting for several minutes was put into a prompt that asked if I wanted to pay a bill or needed support. I hit 3 for support and the call immediately hung-up. I am sure if I hit 2 for giving them money the number would work fine. This is not an isolated incident as anyone in North Texas can tell you. The Frontier service is embarrassing and I am baffled that they have made it a few years before claiming bankruptcy in April. Please do not consider Frontier FIOS in Texas if you have other options.
