I had Frontier in TX, they advised me I could transfer services to OR where I was moving. 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. This isn't fair to you," this upsets me, and all of their condolences mean absolutely nothing when they don't take any action to resolve the issue they caused.

We called customer service about cancelling our service and was told the bill would be prorated if stopped during a billing cycle. Called today to cancel and was told they don't prorate and will be paying for about 3 weeks of service that won't be needed. Verizon was always honest and reliable in customer service and it went south when Frontier came in the picture. BUYER BEWARE!!

Their cable is great when it works, but once you have a problem? Oh My God. You sit on hold literally for hours. They read off of a script and keep sending you in a loop. Then after hours of frustration on the phones it takes 10 days to get a technician. Who by the way lives 2 blocks from my house. And to top it all off we get to pay for a service we do not have for the next 10 days. A couple times a year they drop our signal. All they ever have to do is resend our package to us and their techs that show up always say there is no reason they couldn't just resend the package signal to us. It's ludicrous. We have now decided that the best way to go is to have streaming with ROKU, and plus we are saving lots of money and best yet? We never have to deal with Frontier's "Customer Service" ever again.

Customer service not experienced enough to take care of customer needs. Previous homeowner has Frontier internet, I bought the home and tried to get the same internet. They messed up twice trying to get me a modem so they called me the 3rd time and just told me they don't service my area. Really? I know there is service - I've seen the previous owner use her internet by Frontier. She's got fiber optic lines! Just because your customer service does not know what they're doing doesn't mean you deny me service! Oh well if they are too dumb to want my money with hiring inexperienced people I'll go somewhere else.

Zero stars if that was an option because one is too generous. This is been one horrible experience after another. The only saving grace was the install guy was awesome. Other than that from ordering service to them telling me it was self-install and it wasn't to having to wait an extra week for install, then first day the lead battery went out on the main panel inside the house, the alarm was sounding on it. 46 minutes later talking to the tech support they would like ME to install their new battery they will mail me and then call the EPA and find out to to dispose of the old one. SERIOUSLY?! Their other suggestion was to try to find a place I can recycle it.
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. Again why am I doing work for free for them but their service tech can charge whatever he wants? They can't even give me an idea of how much it could be. Sounds a bit fishy to me and a little like a SCAM.

Everytime I call Frontier it's a nightmare and something always goes wrong. My most recent experience was me calling to inquire about a charge on my bill which resulted in my service being completely turned off. When I called to find out what happened and have it restored, I got passed around from representatives to representatives, no one had a clear or honest answer or even seem to know what was going on period. I was told I have to have new service because that could not turn back on my old one and my new service will be on within 24 hours, that time came and went and when I called back I was told I have to wait another 4 days. I am waiting for the day for this company to go out of business. The employees are highly incompetent, lack customer service skills and has no clue about anything and what customer service means.

I put in a request in May to cancel my service for 3 June due to moving. After paying my May bill they stopped my service early around 27 May. I finally got everything straightened out with billing and they said they reimburse me for the difference for early termination. Everything should be fine right? Yesterday I get two bills in the mail (8 August), one showing a late payment for June, from Frontier Communications and a collection agency letter stating that I owe Frontier Communications and they are trying to collect. After a few calls and some of their normal system slow issues they have with pulling up accounts, finally I was able to get a partial resolution. 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.
So here where the second robbery comes in. Since Frontier owes me a reimbursement and the June bill went to a collection agency they would not reimburse me for Mays early termination. 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? Now I have to wait two weeks and call the collection agency to find out the outcome. I think this will be a long process to get this resolved. Lawyer up, gitty, gitty. From frustrated.

The internet service in my area (upstate NY) is awful. You pay for 'high-speed' internet and you get a service where it takes minutes to load a single web page. Forget about using multiple devices at one time. We've filed multiple complaints for years now and nothing has been to improve the service and yet there are no other alternatives. Other companies could make some serious cash by expanding service into our area for all the people in the area that would switch to a better service in a heartbeat.

After repeatedly being charged more money for less service, we decided to go with Spectrum (over 15 years with Fios, but Verizon was good). However, the only way you can cancel is by phone, well 1st time, 35 minute wait and then a few minutes more because you must go through the retention dept. then told their servers were down and I would have to call back in a few hours or next day. Later that night, forty minute wait, get the retention dept. and they offer me my same deal for less, I tell them I am not interested, they ask for a phone number to get in touch in case we become disconnected, I gave them my cell number twice, they say good, now hold on as we want to see if they can do better. Three minutes later, hello, hello, click, disconnected and no call back to my cell phone. I'm going to stop payment from my bank account and call Eight on Your Side a local news station. Brian **

Don't EVER do business with Frontier Communications - I can't tell you how much B.S. I've been through with them. They cancelled my service by mistake after many years of perfect payment history. To get my service back, they forced me to create a new account - and needed a deposit to open it - after their mistake! Then they set up the account with a new service contract and are refusing to return my deposit. When this "new account" was created the rep said they put in a deposit refund at the time and that I should get it back within 30 days. - Nothing but lies and B.S. from their account reps! When you call you get tossed around to different departments and no one knows what they are doing - complete incompetence!!!

I called to have a router installed at my home. The representative said, ”Sure!” I know it costs more to have someone come out to your home and hook it up, but I don’t know how to do that. She said she would be calling me back with an installation time and date, then I received an email that the router would arrive at my house with a self-installation guide. I was directly lied to and called to cancel. The next representative said she canceled this order for $200 for the router and would send me an email to verify. Because I’ve dealt with them before, I called again to re-affirm the order was cancelled and I wouldn’t be charged. This representative said, they don’t send emails out, but it was canceled. I really expect this to show up on my bill and having to fight with them for hours on the phone. The absolute worst company to deal with. Each representative has a different story. They bought out Verizon and this is the only company here.

Updated on 08/30/2019: I don’t know if I can edit a previous review so I’m just leaving a new one. Frontier communications remains THE WORST company I’ve ever dealt with. After all the garbage I went through and then leaving a nasty review here, I was contacted by a PR person to help me resolve my issue. They offered me a $25 credit. Whoop de doo. I responded back with a lengthy email saying my time was worth more than that and requested, at the LEAST, that they waive the $75 install charge. Zero response from the PR person. Frontier remains the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. I recommend people choose ANY option but them if they have it in the hopes that they go under and someone who actually cares about their customers takes over. The CEO should be ashamed.
Original review: Two weeks, two missed appointments, hours on the phone, appointment put on hold without telling me, etc, etc, etc. I held up my end on all fronts and Frontier dropped the ball. They make no effort to satisfy their customers and seem very disorganized and it takes them 10-15 minutes just to look up my account on the phone. They are the worst company I’ve ever dealt with and for the life of me I can’t fathom how they’re still in business. It’s atrocious. The CEO should be ashamed of himself. If I had ANY other option in my area I’d switch in an instant.

The price they quote will NOT be the price you pay. And it's not just "taxes". There will be all kinds of equipment fees and other fees that they conveniently omit when they tell you about their prices. For example, for internet speeds over 100Mbps, you HAVE to buy or rent the router FROM THEM, even though you could buy an exactly identical router -- with the exact same Frontier FiOS firmware and everything -- on eBay for ONE-FOURTH the price!

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.

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.

**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.

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.

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.

We sold our house and moved out on the 19th. I called on the 20th to cancel service and I was told our new billing cycle began on the 20th so I would be charged for the whole month. Also, there is a $9.99 processing fee. Also, an early termination fee. Don't recall ever agreeing to a two-year term. We have been with them for 18 months.

I have had countless problems with Frontier & the worst part is customer service trying to resolve ANYTHING! Most recently, I can't even pay my bill despite trying! I log in and no account is linked. I can't link an account. I try to chat service, I wait 40 minutes to get a person to chat, it disconnects, no help. I call customer service, she confirms no account connected... I say yes, that's the issue. She says it's been a problem for a few days. I reply, I have tried over a month and the bill is now overdue.
She can CHARGE me to pay over the phone. I tell her I want it fixed so I can pay online & set up auto-pay. She says, I can keep waiting to see if it fixes itself. OMG, it hasn't fixed itself in a month! I ask who can I talk to to get it fixed. Nobody?! What?! Nobody?! I can pay a fee to pay you now or just keep waiting to see if it fixes itself. This, after having to have 3 different installers come out to even get installed and actually work! If I can attach a picture of the account message I will.

Signed up on 7/1/19 for $54 a month and was promised $100 gift card and Amazon Prime free for a year. Had to wait 9 days for a technician to come set it up... After set up I found out Amazon Prime did not come free. Then I received a call from their sales team, a week after the service was finally set up and working, that I could upgrade for FREE to faster service. That was not true either, my bill increased and when I called in about this, they completely shut off my original internet service, leaving me with nothing. They said they would come back out for 10 days to re-setup the service but the faster internet I was promised for FREE (which wasn't) was not even available in my neighborhood!
This company is the most disorganized company I've ever dealt with, causing their customer service to be the absolute worst, I've ever dealt with. I canceled and can only imagine what kind of fees they are going to try to charge me with. I spent a combined 9 hours on the phone and on hold with them, I will never get back. They also drilled a hole in my wall when they set up the internet so I also have that to remember this terrible experience.

When we first signed up with Frontier, they promised a fast speed of internet, but in reality, we couldn't even download a movie onto a device because the wifi speed was so slow. During the short time we were a customer of Frontier, I was verbally given my account number by a customer service person over the phone. When I set up a user name and password for said account number, I found out that I had complete access to someone else's account. I called Frontier to inform them of this error, and they gave me my correct account number and didn't seem very concerned that they had given me access to another customer's account. I was only a customer of Frontier for about 6 months before I cancelled and signed up with their competition, who was able to provide much much much faster wifi speeds.
I have not been a customer of Frontier for several years now, and all of a sudden, a couple of months ago I started receiving monthly statement emails for one of their customers. Obviously, the statement is not mine since I'm not a customer, but clearly belongs to another customer of theirs. Last month, I spent a great deal of time calling Frontier to let them know and asked them to please remove my email address from anything related to Frontier, especially the customer I was specifically receiving emails for. I was assured by customer service that my email address had been removed and I would no longer receive emails for their customer.
Much to my dismay, I just received yet another email statement for the same customer. Clearly, my email address is still attached to his account. I really hate leaving bad reviews, but after multiple attempts to get any level of service from Frontier, I give up. I'm just going to have to block their emails and try and get the word out to others. YOUR INFORMATION IS AT RISK! They don't seem to care that they share their customer's information with others.

We had been loyal Verizon customers with any issue or concern addressed immediately and resolved. Frontier took over Verizon internet and home phone services and the drama began. I have a log of all the phone calls to Frontier regarding excessive charges for basic cable/internet/home phone service over $165 monthly.
In April 2019 I called to complain about receiving new charges of over $200 a month for basic services. I was told it was because I no longer had the loyalty discount, I continue to complain about the amount I was already paying. I was transferred to the retention department, spoke to a representative that recommended I start new service to receive a better rate, the only catch was I had to change our home phone number. The bill would go from $165.00 to $99 monthly This call lasted approx. 45 minutes, I agreed. The services were to begin early May 2019. The services did not begin, but the current services were turned off.
I called at 11 a.m to speak to someone about the services, was transferred to three different people, call lasted 1 hr. 10 minutes. I have a job, had to get back to it. Later that afternoon called on my way home, transferred around to many (4-6) people, no one could explain what happened. I have an 85 year old father who's lifeline is the home phone. I asked to have the services turned back on and I would look for other services, call lasted 3 hours, missed my family dinner, beyond upset and frustrated. The customer service department needs and lacks so much training. Only because I am in Human Resources did I stay on the line that long, plus I wanted to ensure that my father would have his phone and T.V. services restored. It is difficult enough to deal with his dementia, and now to take away the two things he relies on daily.
Needless to say I have left them and began services with another provider for $60 monthly. I did overpay Frontier by $105, which I am now being told that I could expect to receive my refund some time in September? They have stated that they need to ensure no other charges are pending against this account, which was closed May 25, 2019. Really? Interestingly I found information on the web from Frontier stating that once canceling services with them, you can expect a refund within 60 days of cancellation in a form of a pre-paid MasterCard. That should put my refund back by early August. I would like to start an action class lawsuit with them. Any takers?

My wife and I just moved to Spencer WV from Maine, so I set up the installation of Frontier Internet and Phone in advance. The idea was to be hooked up a day or two after we arrived. They gave us a window of 9am to 1pm. We waited the entire time and they didn't show. When I called, they said the tech was there, but no one was home (not true)! So they never admitted it was their mistake and scheduled us EIGHT DAYS LATER! Here we are in a remote area of WV with no phone (cellphones don't work), no internet and worries about safety.
My wife and I are retired and are being treated for some medical issues. Eight days go by, our window this time was 8am to noon, again no show! This time when I called they said they didn't come out because no one answered the confirmation call on the cellphone that don't work out here! When I set up the original appt they NEVER said anything about confirmation calls! So now I'm scheduled EIGHT MORE DAYS LATER!!!

Do not do it! It will be a complete utterly waste of your time and money!! I called Frontier to purchase internet through them. We ordered internet (the fastest speed in our location -- 18 Mbps) and it was supposed to be installed on Friday, in three days. The order process went smoothly and fine. Then I get a call from their customer service department later telling me that the internet service I purchased is not available at my location and that the only thing they were able to offer me was 3 Mbps. WHAT???!! The lowest package they have on their website is 6 Mbps. I was immediately irritated because they had already ran the credit report and the order had already been received and processed. I told them that I no longer want this service and to cancel the order.
The lady on the phone, I believe her name was Karissa, told me she could cancel the order but kept trying to talk me into just trying the 3 Mbps and see how it works out. I kept telling her no thanks, not interested because my phone wouldn't even work off that. She then proceeded to tell me, "Well we could give you 6 Mbps." I told her still no thanks. Then she kept trying to offer me the tv package, phone, and everything else they offer besides the internet. I told her NO, I want to cancel and be done with it. I want internet that is going to work if I am going to pay for it. She then got super rude and hateful and proceeded to scream and yell at me on the phone.
She was yelling to the point where I had to pull the phone away from my ear. They have awful customer service people and you are literally on the phone for an hour when you call or longer.

I have had Frontier ATT for a supplier since they took over in 2011 from Verizon. Admitting that, also admits my stupidity for staying with them this long. Verizon bill was $36 per month; when Frontier took over the bill went to $73 per month. Since that time the bill has risen steadily to $140 per month which I paid for a while with occasional calls which did some good for a short period of time, but settled about $116 per month.
Finally, I had enough and started calling them to get the amount reduced. I got one employee that told me I had been paying for a phone also which was $40 per month, a Phone that I never had or wanted or knew about. He said look on your bill, and sure enough, there was a phone listed on my bill which I had never paid attention to. He said I will remove it, which he did. The bill dropped to $68 per month which I said was fine. The next month back up to $116. I called again, and went through the outrageous attack of the mechanical voice which asks you what do you want to talk about and gives you several options, none of which fit what you want to talk about. After frustration after frustration, I finally got to a to human which I stated Frontier owes me a lot of money back.
Of course we then the transfer to another to another until I connected with someone who indicated to me he was very important. After considerable talking he told me the package that I had included a phone and that was the only way it was available in my area. Conversation ended. I then found out that US Cellular had a device one plugs into ones computer and you have the internet. I talked to them and absolutely correct; I purchased a device for $50, plugged it in, and viola, internet for $40 per month.
I then called Frontier ATT and told them to cancel my service; who told me they could not cancel my service until the end of the next billing period. I told them to cancel it NOW, because I was no longer using it. After a rather heated discussion, I hung up. I also cancelled direct withdrawal pay from my checking account. 7 days later Frontier withdrew $112.48 from my checking account for another month of service which I had no intention of using. A trip to my bank to report an unauthorized withdrawal, at least put that money back into my bank account. Basically my experience with Frontier ATT has left me with the opinion that they are unreliable, terrible communicators, devious, unable to be trusted for honest service, and are not worth 1/4th of the money that they charge for service. A service which is considerably sub-standard compared to others.

Updated on 09/17/2019: Approximately every 2 months my speed caps go down to about half of what I pay for. Each time I contact they expect me to go through a list of things to check, which are all tactics to delay addressing the problem or to blame it on me. They want you to connect to the router with an ethernet cable (it might be the wireless connection or distance from router - even though my computer is always in the same spot), they want to know the model of the router (it might be the router model or age - even though mine is new), they want to know if other devices are running off the internet (they might be using some of the bandwidth - even though I dont have any other machines or devices running after it).
I am now recording each time I contact so that when I file my BBB complaint like I did today, I have clear dates about when I contacted and also so I can track the amount of time that my speed caps are at the speed that I pay for. The last time I filed a complaint here, I got a faster response from someone that sounds like they are actually in my country and not overseas than I ever would when I contact Frontier. Their service is so bad, the BBB site has a warning about it. I feel bad for all the employees who have to do their bidding, including whomever is reading this message and will be forced to respond to me with more lies, including "we dont throttle speeds".
Original Review: I have had this problem for a while now. Approximately every two months, Frontier will reduce my speed cap to around half of what I am paying for. Every time I contact, they have a list of steps they want me to go through, when in reality they just have to reset the cap. They start out by asking you to connect to the router with an ethernet cable, so that they can try and blame it on your distance from the router (even though my computer never moves). Who keeps an ethernet cable around?? Not many people. Then they have more questions to try and blame it on you, such as asking you how many devices are on the network, and what is the model number of your router? They have many things to help keep you in a runaround.
A while ago I stopped going through their steps, I tell them I have tested it with an ethernet cable right away, and that it happens every two months, and that they need to report it to their supervisor. I actually had a rep tell me that "they don’t put caps on accounts" ... uhhhh.... That’s how the whole account system works. You pay more for higher speeds. So that right there is just a lie. Now I tell them to report it to their supervisor, and within a couple days it’s back to normal, and then approximately two months later, it’s back down again. I am now documenting each time I contact and gathering data for a BBB report.

Their DSL works great when it is working. When it is not working, dealing with customer support is a nightmare. During my last outage, I left work early twice to meet a technician and both times the technician did not show up and the issue appeared to resolve itself since no one contacted me to tell me they fixed it or figured out what the problem was.
Last night my DSL went down again. I went to sleep hoping it would be resolved by the morning and it is still down. I called customer support and the automated line said there was a 25 minute wait. I then waited 50 minutes, hung up and called back to use the schedule a call option. I then waited 1 hour and 15 minutes, received a call and while answering, the call dropped. I waited 20 minutes, no one called me back and I then called again to schedule another call. It has now been another hour and I have yet to receive another call.
I dont care if the problem can be fixed immediately or not but there is no excuse for having me waste this much time just waiting to talk to someone. I just want to know that they are aware of the problem and have been sitting here for close to 3 and a half hours and have yet to even accomplish that. Ridiculously frustrating and completely unnecessary every single time there is a problem with this company.

I tried to order local channels only which is listed on their website. The company denies that they do local channels only but the technician I spoke with said that he always installs local channels only. The local channels are listed at $25 and they are un-encrypted so you do not need to rent their boxes in order to receive those channels. I explained it to them upfront so they stop pushing their stupid bundle scams. I was disconnected from the phone call and I called back.
The customer service lady informs me of "what I ordered". They said I got the double play bundle with 3 receivers at $11 each plus they enrolled me in Frontier Protect which I did not want nor will I use it. I told them to cancel the order but they claimed that they can't after spending hours on hold. It is so depressing dealing with this company. I am a very patient person but never in my life have I dealt with such shady company like this. Their bad reputation is very well-earned. What a nightmare.

I have not had a reliable internet speed or connection since installation. The install technician put the router in my garage. I called to get a technician to come to my house to either move my router or install extenders. I was informed they guarantee the Cable connection not the Wifi. I was told that I would have to pay to have the router moved when the install technician didn't do what he was paid to do. I am under a contract and now they want to charge me to cancel due to not having internet wifi connection and they will not come out to my house to troubleshoot further. I left Spectrum and that was the biggest mistake. Frontier has horrible customer service, support, and technical assistance.

Had been a Verizon FIOS customer for 10 years before Frontier took over and had never had a problem. Shortly after converting me to paperless billing, Frontier began bumping up my bill but without increasing service. Less than one week after finally negotiating a reduction in billing and agreeing to a one-year contract with an early termination fee, we had a total service outage. We’re not located in a rural area, but in a suburban area with plenty of easily accessible infrastructure - restoring service shouldn’t have been a challenge. I also work from home quite often and actually need my Internet connection to be operational with minimal downtime. Tech support said that the soonest they could dispatch a tech was ten days, which then got bumped to twelve days! Seriously?
I advised them that while I had enjoyed being a FIOS customer, that I knew their competitors could respond more quickly and get me set up with a different provider. I had no choice - I need to work. Even knowing that they were going to lose a long-term customer didn’t seem to matter. We even pulled in a favor from an insider in corporate accounts and even she could not get a tech dispatched any sooner. So, less than a week into a contract, they failed and we switched. They also insisted that I pay the early termination fee despite my allegations of their breach of contract by failing to provide service while collecting fees for service, and for fraud since we never actually had service under the contract. Frontier Communications is not up to the task of managing the Verizon FIOS infrastructure, is not an ethical service provider. Shady business practices such as these never last!

Frontier Communications charges customers a full billing cycle regardless of cancellations. They also charge an even more unfair "$9.99 disconnect charge" to get more of your money on the way out. I have had Frontier internet before and never had this problem. It is a new policy. I was not made aware of this new policy when I called to cancel our service the day AFTER our next billing cycle started. Frontier is charging customers for a full billing cycle when service is disconnected. I do not have a contract with Frontier. I pay for internet services used MONTH TO MONTH. I do not owe Frontier money for services that are cancelled and no longer provided by Frontier.
It's unfair, bad business and shameful to charge people after cancellation. At the very least they should be required to inform their customers at the time of cancellation that they will be charged after the date of discontinued service. That way they can choose for themselves to continue their service through end date of the billing cycle since they are being charged for it anyway. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

I have been a customer for about 6 years. For the first 4/12, very happy. I have recently been losing service EVERY SINGLE DAY for anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. Now mind you I only have Apple TV and use WiFi only iPads for my granddaughters. The 1st time I called in they sent me a new box and when I called the tech to help me hook it up he didn’t know how and we “suddenly” got disconnected. It sat on my counter for weeks. I called and complained, I called and complained. I called and complained.
Finally after called at least 7 times they scheduled a tech to come out. Guess how long it took? 3, yes 3 weeks before he showed up. He hooked up the new box (very nice guy) BUT... he told me that was not my problem. The problem was the main box outside. And lo and behold.. he couldn’t fix it because it was “outside, too far away from my unit, and he would get written up if he did”. (I own a townhouse and the box is located 3 doors down). So, needless to say I am LIVID!!! My problem is NOT fixed. They STILL GET PAID every month, I have received ZERO compensation for my trouble and time. And, I STILL call and complain at least once a week. I just don’t understand why they can’t send someone out to fix the main box outside if that is the issue.

I told him I would see him in the 10 o’clock hour as per the text message from Frontier. I come home, called Frontier. They told me he closed out the ticket saying he did what was needed on the outside of my home. All the work that needed to be done is on the inside however so I don’t know what the tech was talking about. I stayed on the phone for two hours being passed between different people.

I dropped them 2 years ago because in the evenings and weekends there was “too many people using it” according to Frontier help line and so we just had to live with it until they upgraded. So thinking “why pay for a service that you can’t use”, I dropped them. 2 years later I’m trying them again. In the 6 months that I’ve been paying them for service, maybe 2 months have been trouble free. Awful. They haven’t upgraded anything for better service.

We’ve had 2 splicers “fixed” in the attic, our router replaced, the main power box replaced and all 5 dvr boxes replaced and then upgraded to Quantum (which took them 4 days to change for service upgrade)!

In my area, Frontier is the only choice for internet. I've been a customer for 14 years. I've gotten used to the slow "high speed internet" - I'm told it's because I live too far from the hub. What I cannot get used to is the lack of customer service/no sense of urgency. Here's my current issue: We had a Frontier outage, and I received a text, notifying me of the outage. 3 hours later I received a text that service had been restored...except it actually had not.
I called Frontier, but their customer service line is 100% automated, and the best I got was an automated acknowledgement that there's an outage in my area and I can receive a text notifying me when service is restored (already got that text - and it was wrong! ). So I resorted to Facebook (FB) messenger and was told that there are "no outages reported in my area," (!?!) so we tried all the usual troubleshooting options - to no avail. They submitted my info into their system and had an account manager contact me within 12 hours (which turned out to be 14 hours).
The Account Manager assured me: "I will take ownership of this issue until it’s resolved and will provide frequent updates. I know you might be frustrated with your prior experience, but I will be your advocate until this issue is resolved." Unfortunately, that only applies while she's working. The next day she let me know that she's off for the following 3 days and refused to connect me with another Account Manager in her absence. Instead she told me to contact Frontier via FB messenger for updates.
After much back and forth (and MUCH misinformation), the next morning I contacted Frontier via FB messenger, and was told that their systems were down for maintenance, so they can't check on the status of the outage - and I should check back in a couple of hours. (I actually thought he was kidding when I read this response!) I checked back periodically throughout the day (this is day 3 with no internet) and they still have no information for me - no cause of the problem and no ETA for restoration. They also cannot escalate the issue "if your area is in an outage." (I wouldn't ask to have is escalated if we weren't having an outage! ).
There is no sense of urgency. No concern for their customers. AND no knowledge about what's happening. This is a 3-day outage. It's got to be a pretty major event, and customer service "doesn't know what to tell me." They have no information on what the problem is or when it will be resolved. I can't imagine how a company like this maintains customers in areas where they have alternative options.

Additionally, the House Resolution H.R. 235 Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act placed a permanent ban on ban on state and local taxation of internet access, yet Frontier proudly lists state and local taxes on my bill each month.

Updated on 07/16/2019: I was contacted by Frontier (retention department, I assume) and was promised that the issues that had plagued my order had been resolved and that the router would be received within 3-5 business days. This was on Friday, 7/5. It is now 7/16. I got a bill of $106.34 for service starting 7/8 but have still not received either a router or service. Worse, when I called today to cancel the service and close the account, I was told they couldn't just do that without researching to find an adequate reason for disputing the charge. I have spent hours since early May trying to get simple wifi service with Frontier. Please be warned. I went to T-Mobile and activated an old phone to use as a hotspot. Problem solved.
Updated on 06/27/2019: I never got the modem Lindsay promised that she would have her supervisor send. (I realize this is not her fault.) After several more calls I discovered that the "engineering" department kept sticking its nose in and cancelling my installs (without notifying me!!). Lindsay scheduled another install for 6/24 which was, again, cancelled by Frontier because they wanted my approval to charge $75 for a tech installation (which they kept saying I would not need). After all the nonsense, misinformation, and general frustration I said forget it and hung up. I will go elsewhere.
Original review: I, like many of the reviewers here, have been disappointed by the woefully inept customer service I've received. I moved 6/10/19. I called about 2 weeks before that to front-load the move and make sure everything was set and scheduled. Well, it is 6/17 and I still don't have service. I have called at least 6 times and spoken to at least that many people. Most calls were BEFORE my move date and almost every time there was a mistake on the order. A couple of accounts were cancelled (on their end, possibly due to the errors) so the poor reps don't know what I'm talking about when I call and they have to to go digging to find me.
I ordered a modem (prior to 6/10) for self-installation that was cancelled for unknown reasons. The rep I just spoke with (today) couldn't understand why the system wouldn't accept a new modem order. In fairness, a couple of reps from Frontier did call (probably when they recognized the install didn't happen), however, they didn't leave messages so I had to waste precious time calling to figure out what was up.
Last chance Frontier: I told today's rep (Lindsay, who was very nice but couldn't order another modem) to please escalate this to a supervisor who, perhaps, would know what the heck was wrong because none of the "experts" I have spoken with were able to follow through and make sure my order/install was completed. I also said I expected the modem to be shipped overnight at Frontier's expense, since I went out of my way to give them plenty of time and make sure the order was correct before my move. Lindsay was unable to put her supervisor on the phone at that time because she was busy. I will be pleasantly surprised if I get my modem and am not charged for service starting 6/10 but, based on the previous reviews, I am not holding my breath... :( Think twice...

I own Frontier stock, so I decided to use Frontier as my web-service provider. I want the company to do well—so my dividends will increase—but I also want to see these sons-of-jerks fail, because I’m an unhappy customer. I begrudgingly prefer to tell you the truth about the service, rather than pump them and my pocketbook up.
The person who sold me the Internet service was WAY too chatty (over the phone). I was patiently waiting to get through the contract setup, while he seemed more interested in chatting with me about video games. I thought he was trying to be friendly. Now I think he was trying to distract me, and he succeeded. He told me that they didn’t offer the 150 mps that I wanted. I had to get 200 mps, which I agreed to, because it was only $40 per month. I thought it was a good deal. I allowed Frontier to set up their bulky equipment on my property, which required them to drill holes in the wall of my house. Yes, DRILL HOLES IN MY HOUSE. The deal they were offering made it seem okay.
Well, first of all, I wasn’t getting 200 mps. I assumed it was because my devices weren’t able to handle the higher speeds, even though every new device that I later purchased should have been able to. Time and time again, I experienced speeds that were closer to 50 mps. Even when my devices were directly beside the router. Second, after a year, the service fee shot up to $65. The video-game-enthusiast salesman hadn’t told me that would happen. When I called customer service to ask about my bill, the lady I talked to said “my coupons had expired.” What coupons? The salesman didn’t tell me anything about coupons or expiration dates.
Further, the lady I talked to told me that, were I to quit—which I was threatening to do—Frontier wouldn’t remove the hardware from my house. And you can bet they won’t seal the holes in the walls of my house. Time and time again, while using this Internet provider, my speeds have slowed. Time and time again, my devices give me messages that said I “don’t have adequate bandwidth” to watch video. I keep having to shut everything down and reboot to continue watching my streaming services. And now third: I have been double-charged. When I called to figure out what is going on, the tech person on the phone launched into double-talk. He kept telling me that it had to do with the precise billing dates. I don’t know how to better explain that. The tech guy was full of words that were meant to confuse me further. Here’s what my billing dates look like:
February $65March $65
April $65
May $138
I asked if June would be a no-charge month to account for their weird billing cycle, and the guy said NO. He covered by giving me more double-talk. Essentially, I’ve paid double for May. I’m like you. I have better things to do, rather than screw with finding a new Internet service, but every month that goes by, I’m the one getting screwed. Internet has now become a total hassle for me. I’m going to quit Frontier. My anger is motivating me. Please, people, do not give your time or money to Frontier. Please, let’s drive the stock prices low. I don’t mind.

As a former Frontier customer, I was very dissatisfied with the service and cancelled about ten years ago. Occasionally speeds would approach the then-advertised ~3Mbps rate, but typically slowed to ~500kbps. I tried to upgrade by adding costly services that I could not easily have removed from my bill. I now have three cell phones and a wireless (radio) internet service that consistently provides ~500kbps, and pay less than half what I paid for the Frontier landline with internet DSL annually.
Last week I agreed to give Frontier a try again with their $27.99, 6Mbps internet service, despite the fact that there have been no changes to the old copper wires in my area (the lid of the junction box across the street has even been hanging open for weeks now, and this beside Frontier's new fiber optic line, which Frontier seems to have no knowledge of! ).
The agent told me that $27.99 would be the only fee, and that I would have access to free support (for the first year, see below). Even before the $200 NetGear router arrived by mail, I decided to cancel the package in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes that caused me to cancel my landline in the first place. Here's why:
1. The first email I received back from Frontier was from "Frontier Secure Premium Technical Support Service" thanking me for purchasing their service.
2. The second email arrived one day later, asking me to review the order confirmation, but this email was flagged as spam by my email service, so I did not notice the confirmation until another day later. This email provided no shipping information about the router I had agreed to purchase, so I could not track its arrival in order to receive it properly.
3. The order confirmation included about $13.50 in fees and taxes, which the agent told me would only apply if I ordered the voice service, which I did not and this was confirmed in the email. The confirmation also indicated that the support service would cost $7.99 after one year, a detail I asked the agent about (any promotions), who said the service was free.
4. In order to respond to the confirmation, I would need to reply to a cryptic email address, a method often used by spammers, which I have long been told to avoid doing. "If the address does not look like a legitimate business link, do not click on the link!" No alternative to this cryptic link was provided in the email, which email was sent from "Noreply" at "Frontier.com".
I would recommend to anyone living in rural areas to avoid the declining landline, where there is no competition, in favor of wireless, where there is healthy competition. My wireless has been quite reliable over the past two years, with perhaps two outages lasting at most 2 days due to weather-related issues. My own router and computer required rebooting to restore service far more often, in all a very similar experience to the old landline. In summary, very well trained sales representatives man Frontier's phones, but the way Frontier treats its customers resembles that of illegitimate businesses more than that of a professional organization.

He gave me a new number. So I call a day later to get my existing old number ported. They ported it a few days later but had to have a technician come to my house to do something with the port. Everything was fine.
30 days later I get 2 bills with 2 account number because they used the phone numbers as the account numbers. The first account which I only had for a few days (because of the port) showed I had a payment due of over $140. They did not stop that number. I also got a bill for my actual account which I'm using as well and paid that because it's my actual account. The old number that they gave me should have been billed for maybe 3 or 4 days until I got the number ported. But no it billed for 30 days and on going. So I'm getting 2 bills. Getting this fixed with customer service was impossible! I spent hours on the phone and transferred 5 or 6 times telling my situation each time!
Finally I got someone to take off like $97 from that first bill which I had the account for only a few days. It was still a bill over $40 for only a few days of service. The explanation was that the Customer Service rep could not take over $100 off a bill. Why not? If it's a real mistake by you and it's more than $100 why have that rule? So ok I was going to pay the $40 plus charge just to get it done with. I'm also already paying my real bill every month.
Now I get another bill to the old number with additional charge of $100 saying that I did not return the equipment for that number! So now I'm still getting a bill for the old number!! And there was not an equipment change for the port. The technician guy came to my house to port the number and he had me keep the same equipment. I had nothing to return! So now I'm back to the terrible Customer Service experience of having to explain this new situation to multiple representatives again with no one knowing what they are doing! And no one allowed to give me $100 credit even if it is something that's wrong!! I do not know what to do.

I explained the billing issues and the attitudes of Frontier's employees. He finally stated there is nothing he can do. That was 37 minutes of my life I will never get back, plus the 15 minutes with William this morning. So, beware of neighborhood solicitors and what promises they make. Think long and hard before signing up with Frontier.

First of all, I am being made to give one star review here folks and we all know zero is best! Shame on Frontier. I have been a loyal customer since way back when. Today I found out I have been billed for 3 box-tops for only one tv. When I asked to have my money returned I was told I was only entitled to 3 months? What? And, not to mention when I removed pay channels my bill increased each month, please explain that? I was given their “loyal” rate as I was told and my bill is still over $200/month for so-so internet, phone and BASIC television channels all the while I continually need to re-boot the box for TV? Again, shame on you Frontier! Switching is LONG OVERDUE for me!

As my cable TV monthly statement kept on going higher from another company, I signed and trusted Frontier they would give a good service for a better rate. For two years I had nothing but trouble with service as it went down every single day. Calling Frontier to reconnect was a disaster; on-hold forever, service will go down in the middle and taping halfway because of the same. After cancelling the contract and returning two receivers with their remote control, they had the unethical and unprofessional decision to send me to a collection agency. Shame on these people. Scoundrel is a very nice thing to say about Frontier. I will look in a dictionary for a more derogatory word I can use online. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY!

Frontier communications as a whole provides a good at home service. Where they have lost their touch is within their customer service departments. I lost my mom unexpectedly this year. I had her service turned off a week after her billing cycle. I contacted their customer service to see if they would be willing to waive the entire bill. They were billing my mom for the full month even though I had her service cut off only a week into the cycle.
The representative told me that the bill was the “final bill” and there was nothing that could be done. The bill had to be paid. I advised that my mom never missed a payment and I would greatly appreciate due to the circumstance that the bill be waived. The customer service rep told me that it wouldn’t affect my credit and my mom is dead so what is the big deal.
The big deal is this is an extreme circumstance and my mom will still have to pay the bill even though she is no longer here. The lack of empathy was unreal. I was transferred to a supervisor and that rep submitted a request and they lowered the bill to cover just that week. Still I can’t believe they wouldn’t just waive the entire bill. I will be paying the remaining one week balance. Just take caution when dealing with customer service and stand your ground. This company can do more than they are actually willing to do for their members.

I learned today that Frontier Communications charges early termination fees to people that have been with them over 17 years! In 2013 one phone line was dropped. Absolutely nothing else was changed. That resulted in a new "contract" that renewed every two years automatically. No matter when I want to terminate service it would result in an early termination fee. How is that even legal?

If I could give them ZERO stars, I would. After numerous problems with the install and the service itself, I decided it wasn't worth the hassle and called to cancel my service and after I was given the runaround for nearly an hour, I finally was able to connect with a supervisor named "Vern" and he was super nice. He gave me a confirmation number and told me that shipping labels to return the equipment were in the mail. This was May 20th (nearly a month ago).
I realized this morning that I never received the labels and called to find out what was happening, and lo and behold, they never canceled my service! There weren't even any notes in my account about it, or someone named Vern in the retention department. So they have continued to charge me for nearly a month. This morning they assured me that the service would be canceled on July 3rd at the end of my cycle. The person I spoke with did waive some of the fees I've incurred, which was nice, but not enough to make me even remotely happy. This seems to be a reoccurring problem for Frontier and something needs to be done.

Bought TV, phone & internet service from April 25 2018 to April 16 2019. When I cancelled 9 days before my contract was up was charged 229.68. because I cancelled in the middle of the month. When I called customer service they told me my contact changed at the beginning of Jan & they do not pro rate for middle of the month. If I cancelled one month early I would have been charged an early termination fee. I don't know how a company like this can continue to rip people off. My take on it, I should not have to pay anything extra. My contract was for one year and that's what I did. DON'T do business with this company.

When I ported our landline number to another provider Frontier promptly disconnected not only the landline but internet service as well without so much as an email, text or any notification. We have been on time paying customers for 20 years. After we initialized (we thought) a new account with internet service only, we had to start over with every customer service person we talked to. CS staff were either clueless, rude or both. Since you never talk to the same CS rep twice, you have to explain the situation from scratch every time. It would appear that CS reps don't all have access to the info they need to help customers or they just make stuff up on the fly. Not sure which it is but the most of the company seems pretty inept and clueless. I dread calling Frontier for anything. Not sure how they stay in business. Lynnwood, WA

I live in DFW metroplex. I have had frontier Fios for > 2 years now. Internet connection is good when it’s working. My internet service went down yesterday (5/7/2019), called the customer service, was given a wait time of 5 day before someone would come for a diagnostic check. They said they are understaffed and are unable to send someone sooner, and also they give priorities to business’s accounts and not residential customers. They would try to get some one to come to my house sooner but would not guarantee the service. In this day and age in the US, a internet service provider company feels that’s it ok and acceptable to not have internet connection for 5 days. To me, it is totally unacceptable.

I made the mistake of becoming a Frontier Communications customer 12/2018. I had just planned on getting internet but they offered me landline services for 10$ more per month which I agreed to. 1st problem my guy never showed up to install, somehow my appointment was cancelled and I was not notified, so it was rescheduled for 3 weeks later was the soonest opening. My family qualifies for the lifeline program, I requested the application several times per month which I hadn’t received by 4/2019 so I decided to terminate their services. I paid my balance in full on 4/16/2018 (billing cycle was through 4/17) and had them shut my services off. My payment was cancelled without my knowledge which is brought to my attention on 4/27 when I realize have too much money in my checking account.
I call them, 10 days into the new cycle, they apologize & back date the account so I won’t have another bill. I’m informed I may or may not receive a 10$ bill the following month for terminating my services but there would be a note to adjust it for the trouble I had because a bill can’t be adjusted that hasn’t generated yet (which I was not told on the 4/16 when I spoke with them). So I hang up with them and get online, I pay my bill again. 5/2019 no bill. 6/2019 77$ bill!!!! I haven’t had or used their services in 2+ months but they can’t adjust it because the account is inactive because I don’t have internet or landline phone services!!!! So why am I being billed? I will not pay this. I did not use/ have their services. And every representative you speak to had different information regarding my account and when they can’t answer something they want to transfer to someone else.
The last call I made trying to get them to get rid of the balance and close the account so I don’t receive any more bills, I literally talked to 13 representatives/supervisors!! Then my bill magically goes from 77$ To 22$ but I’m still not paying it because I do not owe them for services I did not have. And I have requested, no joke, at least 10 separate times for labels to return my equipment that they want back and still have not received. Horrible experience.

When I called billing I was given the run around and was on hold for over 2 hours waiting to speak to a supervisor. Finally hung up after 2 hours and called on another phone line, I have been on hold for 25 min and counting. They do not empower their employees to credit your bill and will not allow you access to a supervisor. Their service in remote areas is terrible and they simply do not care.

When I initially signed up for Frontier internet service, it was an easy process (though appointment for technician took a week). I was informed of an early termination fee (ETF) if I decided to terminate service before end of contract. Fast forward almost a year later, I decided to relocate for work. I called 2 months ahead of time to ensure my process goes smooth. I called back a month later with my new address, but was told they do not service the area I'm relocating to. I asked about the ETF, and was told by 3 people over the course of this process that I will not be liable to pay the ETF because they do not service my relocating area.
A month after relocating, I receive my last bill ...with an ETF! I called customer service about it. The rep supposedly placed a dispute on the account to get REVIEWED for APPROVAL. She stated it should take 3-5 business days. Meanwhile, she mentioned there were no notes from my previous calls discussing such. Called back a week later, another rep stated the previous rep placed in the wrong dispute, so she decided to do another and that it should take less than a week to process. Called a week later, another rep stated he didn't see one dispute and their boss informed it takes about 3 months to process this type of dispute.
3 MONTHS? I was so flabbergasted. Wow! All reps stated different information, meanwhile I could hardly hear the last rep talk because of the chatter, clapping and laughing in his background. All reps were kind and friendly however they do not have the SAME correct information. I'm not sure what type of in-house business is being ran with Frontier and I get that mistakes happen (billing) but its reps given information is beyond awful and turn-around time for disputes is worst. If I call back in a week, I might just get another different answer.

First, an account manager named Ali knocked on my door and offered the service and it was a perfect time because I was thinking of switching to a different provider because my internet and tv provider was charging a lot. I heard of Fios Frontier and looked up their reviews and it was bad that's why I was skeptical to switch to them until Ali came and assured me that as an account manager, he will take care of my concerns and I didn't have to call customer service. He told me that if I would choose to be on a 2 year contract, the cancellation fee is $100 but I will get a visa card of $100 so it would cover the cancellation fee just in case. I will also be on a price freeze which means my promotional offer will be locked in even until the 2 year period.
Well, Ali doesn't answer my texts or call no more. The cancellation fee is actually $240 not the $100 that I was told and I haven't received my visa card yet. Second, the technician they sent to install the service was rude and did such a horrible job installing the wires that my Landlord had to call customer service and had a technician come over to fix the messy wires. Third, customer service is horrible! Calls drop in the middle of a call and they do not call you back. They would ask for the best contact number to call you just in case the call gets disconnected but they do not call you back.
If someone comes knocking on your door, offering Fios Frontier service. Stay away from them!!! They will tell you everything that you want to hear but will never follow through on the promises.

I just called in to cancel our services at Frontier and talked with a rep named Harvey in their retention department. He did not provide "excellent" customer service as stated in their recording. He did not ask why I was canceling, did not talk much and then informed me that the service would be canceled effective the next bill cycle which would be June 19. We just paid the current bill and I wanted to get a credit for the time we would not be using the service. He stated it is their policy to not prorate service. After going round and round with him and repeatedly asking to speak to a supervisor, he was going to credit me 60.00 out of the 100.00 credit we should receive for 1/2 month of no service. Oh, I we have to pay a 38.00 cancellation fee. I asked to speak to the supervisor again and was put on hold for 10 minutes.
I finally hung up and called back to speak to a woman who was a little more pleasant. I explained the situation and she apologized profusely and was going to cancel the service. She at least asked me why, but like Harvey, stated we would not get any credit for service not used. I asked to speak to a supervisor and she connected me to John after sitting on hold for 5 minutes. I explained the situation and why we were canceling to John and he apologized. He went on and on about staying with them and that we were on the wrong plan, and they would have someone come out from tech support, yada, yada, yada.

So I was given another order number and assurance that our services is being called starting May 1, 2019. Then again when reviewing our May invoice, we noticed that we are still being charged for the services which we thought all along had been already terminated!
So another call to customer service and now being told that because of the billing cycle on my internet, I will still be charged for the full month of May despite the fact that they confirmed that our services have been terminated effective May. How can you trust customer service and this company again when you get lied upon and not being honest?

Updated on 06/10/2019: Back in February I had internet service with Frontier Communications. One of my biggest mistakes. My internet service went down, and I practically pleaded with them to get someone out to my house to fix ASAP, otherwise I would lose money. It didn’t matter to them.... AS A RESULT I lost a few hundred dollars. Early in April I got a bill and spoke to a Frontier representative about it, who said as we spoke she was looking at my account and to disregard it. That I was all caught up. I, did as she said and a week or so later I get a bill from a collection agency. Demanding payment. I, have been back and forth with Frontier rep about this, saying they were going to resolve this, but have not. Now I get a call today from executive relations at Frontier.... ABSOLUTELY NO HELP. Looks like I need to further my complaint with the BBB.
Updated on 06/04/2019: I have been working on a dispute with this site for close to two weeks and it doesn’t appear there is any resolution in sight. I’ve been corresponding with a Lianne ** via email on a bill that at first a Frontier a representative said I never had, that I was all paid up. Supposedly Lianne reach out to another department to resolve this, that was a week ago. She was trying to see if this other department would credit me...drop charge that I should have never gotten. A week later and they can’t do this.. I’ve even reach out and corresponded with a Mrs. Christina...to no avail. I lost $525 due to them not being able to provide me with the wifi service to conduct my business. I asked Lianne how much more time she would need to resolve this to give me a deadline, so I could hold off on filing a formal complaint with the BBB and FCC. She would not reply.
Original review: I got internet services with Frontier Communications in April 2018. In February 2019 my internet service went down. I called technical support a few times to tell them that it was urgent to get services back up right away. They told me it would take 5 days for someone to come to me to fix this. I said it was unacceptable. And that I was canceling my services. If you go to Google you will see my review. The manager said, "Sorry to see you go". A few weeks later I get a bill, I called and spoke with a customer service representative...who told me to disregard the bill that they will probably send a couple more. But not to worry. She said she checked and said I owed nothing.
Now I get a letter from a collection agency demanding money. I chatted with someone with Frontier and explained all this... Now they are trying to tell me early termination fee. I never signed or agreed over phone to early termination. I only had internet. I Would like to see my signature on paper agreeing to early termination. Or hear a voice recording with my voice.

FRONTIER Communications Review. Ordered JUST landline to be cancelled APRIL 2019 due to financial restructuring. They left it on. Incoming calls were cancelled but outgoing was still active???? WTF. Mistakenly picked up phone without thinking made an international call. $800 later GRRRR tried to resolve. Representative told me "but you used the service!!!" "Yes sir but it was supposed to have been cancelled." Could not believe guy's incompetence.
Later that day realized he had cancelled everything and our account had been locked down and no internet or TV. (I work from Home on the internet and dont even mess with My Netflix) Spent ^ almost 6 hours hours on phone trying to resolve. Spoke to Mike, Harley, Karen, Sabrina, Richard, Austin, and the list goes on. It was down the rabbit HOLE. They couldn't even figure it out. They passed me back and forth for hours. NO SERVICE for Day 3. My Bill with Frontier $3000 per year. I am going to get a Verizon Hotspot for Internet Cost. $100 down for box. $30 per month for service, and an Amazon Fire Stick for TV $40 TOTAL forever.

Using Frontier Internet has been an absolute nightmare. To start off, when initiating our service, it took about a month for them to come out and set up. Even after this was done we could barely connect to the Internet, only able to use the Internet successfully for fractions of the day. We have had multiple weeks throughout the year where we were completely without Internet and we call multiple times without resolution. Even when we do have Internet, if one person is on their phone using the Internet, the other person likely will not be able to. This is extremely difficult when you have multiple systems in your home, such as Security systems and other systems that function using wireless Internet. Also very difficult to get any work done from home due to sporadic function of the Internet. Would not advise anybody to go with Frontier Internet.

Our property burned in the Woolsey Fire in Nov 2018 in the Santa Monica Mountains. Obviously we lost our phone and internet service as a result when all their lines burned in the area. But Frontier decided to continue billing us for phone and internet even though the service was clearly not available. It is now May. They continue to charge us, even though clearly we have had no service since Nov. 9 2018. The amount owed now comes to $1200. We have probably spent 8 hours on the phone talking to a dozen different people, none of whom comprehend or able to understand that they continue to charge us for service they cannot provide (all our lines are disconnected since Nov 9). This on top of the distress caused by all our property loss.
They have now cancelled our service - that we don't have - for non-payment - of service we don't have. They would not reconnect us until we paid $1200 for service they were never able to give us. How hard is it for any of these idiots to understand the basic concept? I have never encountered a company quite so profoundly incompetent and devoid of common sense or ethics as Frontier. We will attempting to get our money back in small claims court. But my message to everyone out there - is avoid Frontier at all costs. If there was justice in the world, they would go bankrupt for the being the world's worst company.

Frontier is the worst cable company out there. They have horrible customer service and shady billing. The backdate prorated charges when you add services, but don't prorate charges if you cancel mid cycle.

They charged me for a DVR I didn't have for months and didn't issue a credit despite telling me on numerous phone calls they would. When I canceled they wanted me to pay the higher bill with the wrong charge and said they don't issue refunds, so either pay the bill as is or incur a late fee on top of it. HORRIBLE COMPANY!

This mean taking a day off work to wait for and sign for them and I had no service for 2 days while it was mailed. I have my own internet router, but they charged me every month for use of their router, which I did not have! I had to call each month to have the charge removed. Finally someone tells me that it is their policy that I have to use their router and they cannot remove the charge. They offered to mail me a router (that I did not need), seeing as how I was paying for it anyway. I decided to switch providers. When I called to cancel, I had to pay for the full final month (I was 20 days from end of billing cycle) AND they charged me $9.99 to disconnect and cancel. If you like extra fees and charges, pick Frontier. I found another provider with same internet speed for $30 a month less.

We called Friday morning and went through the normal, unplug the modem, plug it back in, hit the reset, we will send a signal, yatta yatta. After 1 1/2 hours they say, "Well. We will have to send a tech out." I say, "Great". They say, "We can get him out there Wednesday between 10 and 2" Wait, what?? Wednesday is the soonest you can get a tech out here?

If a rating of zero was an option, that's what I would have chosen. To put it all as simply as I can, on April 26th, I called to schedule a future disconnect on 5/23 as we are moving and Frontier is not in our new location. We had two phone lines and Internet, which we had since moving into our current home in 2010. One phone line and Internet were disconnected on May 1st!! I called immediately to report that evening. I was told that once disconnected, there was nothing they could do. Following multiple calls to them and being told everything from it couldn't be reconnected to it could because it hasn't been 30 days so we'll reconnect the internet the next day (THREE TIMES), which never happened.
Our main phone line was no longer available (within 24 hours of their stupid mistake) -- REALLY!? This was their error, but this company is pitiful business example. During the time we've been with them, we've experienced frequent Internet & phone outages, static on the phone lines, but just put up with it. I'm quite sure they keep promising to correct the Internet (which was promised for a fourth time yesterday when it didn't connect as promised) so they can get me to my billing end date (May 9th) and bill me for another month if the ONE phone line remains in place until 5/23 (original requested disconnect date).
You see they don't prorate and somehow they were going to reconnect Internet with the same services charged as I had before their premature disconnect. This was passed off as some kind of favor to me--pay for two phones lines and Internet, which was never reconnected---Do they think we're all that stupid!!

I was shocked when the rep said it didn't matter. I still couldn't get what they promised. Now keep in mind I had already spent a considerable amount of time and I even bought a router just for this service. Not only was I told I couldn't get the rate promised I wasn't going to be allowed to use my own router (the one a rep had recommended I purchase) and that would be additional costs.

A salesman came to our door to sell us a bundled package which included 200 Mbps. Since 200 Mbps can only be done with Frontier's Ethernet connection our router/modem had to be installed in our garage and the router wi-fi signal was too weak to reach our devices in our house. The solution to fix this was a few options: (1) run an Ethernet cable in our walls/ceilings then having to repair our drywall, (2) run repeaters through my house at additional costs or (3) install the modem/router through coaxial cable at 100 Mbps.
We had already canceled our other provider at this point as we were finding this out. So, we decided to try using the service without buying repeaters and tried using the service with their coaxial connection. The coaxial connection was slow with speeds at 60 Mbps on average and having the modem/router installed in the garage did not work either as we were getting a very weak wi-fi signal.
To summarize it all, we didn’t want to pay extra for running Ethernet, tearing up our walls and we didn’t want to pay for repeaters. Two technicians came out and could not help us get what we paid for. We only had the service for 3 weeks as a third technician was coming out to troubleshoot. Finally we said, "Forget it. Let's cancel it because this is not working." Now Frontier wants to charge us for two months because we are cancelling at the end of a billing cycle. DO NOT USE FRONTIER.... THE WORST SERVICE....

To begin with, they told me that I owed them money due to their equipment not being returned. However, once I showed them the shipping number they suddenly realized I DID return their equipment, and I was told that I'd get a refund in 30 days. NOT!
I have called every 2-3 months over the last year and have got the SAME RUNAROUND and the same promise that I'll receive my money in 30 days. Since it has been a year, I guess one could conclude that FRONTIER HAS NO INTENTION OF RETURNING MY MONEY AND HAS STOLEN FROM ME! Shame on you Frontier! I suppose my only recourse now is to file a claim against Frontier Fios through the Better Business Bureau and WARN AS MANY PEOPLE NOT TO CHOOSE FRONTIER FIOS as their cable company.

I called with a general question. The reps response was rude and unprofessional. When I asked to speak to his supervisor, he refused. As a result, we are cancelling Frontier. Never to do business with them again. We have had the service 1 month. We were not happy with the Frontier cable, as the tv was intermittently freezing from day 1. Frontier does not provide a good product and their custormer service is awful! The customer service rep, Brandon, was arrogant and condescending. He did not want to resolve the problem. He was more interested in getting me off the phone. Do not do business with Frontier. #donotdobuswithFrontier

I recently moved and had to cancel my service with Frontier. I was told that my service would be disconnected on the day I requested and sent my equipment back to them. I paid what I thought was my last bill but received another bill at my new residence. I learned after spending over an hour talking to three agents, including a supervisor, that they billed me for the entire billing cycle. When I told them I was never told this they said it's written on my bill and they don't prorate. I don't appreciate paying for services I never received and will not use Frontier again. I don't care if they're the only show in town, they are permanently boycotted for what I consider fraudulent billing practices.

This company is scam, stealing people's money. Over a year I charged for my own modem. Because this overcharge in my bill I call to disconnect the service. They said it was because the router which is mine. I ask them to get my money back. They told me I'll get 90 days only not all year! I lost it. In addition of that they want termination fee as a part of the agreement. They don't say there is an agreement between us. I have my own router! If you have other option don't subscribe with Frontier. They want people to call them every time. Untrusted expect to get overcharge bills for no reason.

I had my number ported out from Frontier to Spectrum 4 days after my billing cycle and promotional period ended. However, Frontier still bills me a full month with all services canceled. I had a triple bundle promo with Frontier but I wanted to change to internet-phone bundle only. I got a better pricing with Spectrum and I didn't want to change numbers so I had it ported out. Upon cancelling the services with Frontier, to make sure that the tv service was cancelled, too, I was told that the porting out would automatically cancel all services. But as this was a port out and not a simple cancellation the customer service personnel told me they charge the full month of the next billing cycle and cannot pro-rate. However this is not explained in their website, the difference between port out and simple cancellation.

Now to recreate: My parent's house was burnt to the ground with my brother in it Aug 2018. I immediately cancelled all utilities. However, Frontier decided or thought I was kidding and kept on billing for the service. I didn't give it another thought until I (SPR) received a letter in Dec 2018 stating that $200 and change was owed on the account. Of course, it wasn't going to be paid, but I called and the CSR thought she was doing me a favor by discontinuing that day. Now it has been turned over to a collection agency who, unfortunately, will not get any money as Frontier sold them a bad bill of goods. Frontier is a company of whom I'd never recommend their services to anyone.

I have been Frontier client (internet service) for about 3.5 years, I requested service cancellation on April 15th (day before was Sunday so I couldn't reach Customer service representative to do this at that day). Cancellation has been fulfilled on 16th of April, but frontier still billed me for full month because new billing cycle started on April 15th (April 15th - May 14th ).
I wasn't inform during cancellation process about it, representative person just said that they will bill me 9.99 $ cancellation fee without additional charges. After I received bill I called Support to put my internet back until bill cycle will end (May 14th) or prorate my bill for the time i was using it, but they didn't want to do this. In conclusion they charged me for full month,but they turn off their service after 2 days of billing cycle, so I have to pay them for nothing . It is very dishonest and in my opinion they doing it intentionally to get additional money from people that are not longer their customers. Thank You.

Customer service does not call to reschedule, I have to call them, they feed me a line of crap and tell me what I want to hear with no follow through on anything. Yesterday I got a postcard saying they're trying to get ahold of me, I've gotten no phone calls not any voicemails from them and they have 2 different numbers to reach me on.

I got a problem with my router randomly disconnecting devices both through cable and wi-fi. When I rebooted the router it sometimes went back to factory settings, changing SSID and passwords without confirmation. When I called tech support the guy was unable to check my router remotely, he said, but we managed to reset it to factory settings. As I told him that this happened already a few times before and it didn't solve the problem, he refused to believe this. He became very unfriendly as I was trying to explain the problem. At the end he asked me "Is there anything else I can do for you?".
I answered "Yes. Please fix this problem with YOUR router". He finished the conversation and left me hanging. The problem persists. The router is still defective. This is the WORST support I ever got. I wouldn't even dare to call it 'customer' support. When this company was still run by Verizon a few years ago customer support was stellar. Now in the hands of Frontier it's nowhere near the heels of Verizon.

I contacted them three times each time with a promise by the customer service representative and a manager that the issue would be corrected and I should not receive any more bills.
To add insult to injury after the third time I contacted them on April 2nd which once again I was promised the issue would be taken care of, I received a bill for not only $312 but $746.

About 5 months ago I was considering Frontier for my internet carrier. I gave them a call and inquired about cost and other things. After talking with them I like the cost because it was the cheapest offer I had gotten. So, I decided to try their service. I spoke with their sales person by phone. I gave them my address and stuff then they set up a connection date. They told me that before the connection date that they would mail me a modem and that I should receive it a couple days before the actual connection date. Well, a day before the connection date I still had not received the modem. I called them and they told me that it might arrive on connection day. Well, I did not receive it on the connection day because they had mailed it to the wrong address. So, I called them and aired my grieve.
Since I didn't have the modem, how can I be connected? So I told them that I have had a change of heart and no longer wanted them or their service because I did not trust them. Well, the sales or customer service I spoke with said "no problem." They told me that because of their Bill-Cycle that I might still receive a Bill from them and to just ignore it because they have made the changes in their computer system. Anyway, I went along living life and did receive a Bill in the mail approximately a month later. I did just what they told me to do. I ignored it.
Well, somehow they did not take care of it and even sent my account to a collection agency called "Eastern Credit Collection." They have been making threatening calls to me with court case and all that. I called Frontier and spoke with them and they acknowledged the mistake but said there is nothing they can do about it now. CAN ANYONE OUT HERE TELL ME HELPFUL ACTIONS THAT I CAN DO. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND EVEN BORDERS ON CRIMINAL. Please help, somebody please. Thanks.

This problems happened not just in the state I am currently living in but another state as well.

I just had a new modem installed last week. It doesn't work correctly, suppose to be taken care of yesterday, changed to today. I still have timed internet. I can use it for five to twenty minutes at a time. Then I have to wait for my next internet time.
They didn’t find a problem with my line or on their end so now we will get a modem sometime next week. The worst company to do business with. We stream our TV and that is the only reason Frontier in in this house. We live in a rural area and they are the only carrier that has the capability to allow us to stream.

I spoke with 8 people in those 7 calls (one was a supervisor) and every time I received different information.
It appears that Frontier either doesn't train their employees or their training is to make sure you are told incorrect information multiple times in an effort to make you give up trying to stop their service and just settle for keeping it.

So I took the offer then the next day the serviceman shows up and tells me I can’t get 9g internet and I’m the 10th one in my area that day with the same issue that Frontier told that to. So now I’m stuck paying $103.00+ tax for a local only phone line and 1g of internet. It takes 8 min. just to pull up Frontier’s homepage.

I called Frontier and was told that due to the remote location, they'd have to research the possibility of a phone up there. My neighbor has Frontier phone, so I knew it would be no problem. 3 months later, I called again and was told that they could not do Internet there. I told them I was not interested in internet and that I only called for a landline telephone. They told me "no problem" and scheduled their install guy about 3 weeks later. They apologized profusely for the long delay, and assured me installation would be free by way of compensation.
I gave Frontier my correct mailing address, for where I live, not for the cabin, and a credit card to get the ball rolling on the new service. Note that when I first called, there was no snow on the ground, but nearly four months later, everything is buried. Long story short, the install guy arrived hours late and installed the phone line. Never got a bill, but since Frontier did not seem to be "coordinated" we just figured it would arrive when it arrived. We went up there this weekend and afterwards learned that our daughter had been calling all weekend looking for us. The phone never rang. Turns out Frontier turned off the phone for non-payment.
I called them and they said two late fees had accrued and they turned the phone off. They also wanted install fees. They refused to waive the fees. I corrected the mailing address, paid with the credit card, and will wait for the next bill, which I suspect they will send to the woods again. If Frontier was not the only phone game in town up there, I would cancel. Unbelievable experience from the very beginning.

As soon as one company comes around that isn't ran with greed and carelessness, these businesses will thankfully be bulldozed. Frontier's service is hit or miss. When it goes out, it can take weeks for it to be fixed. It's terrible that I am given a 4 hour window on when they will arrive to do their job, and it's worse when they never show up. Hold on, it's really bad when I assume they will never show up because that is more likely. A corporation should have enough organizational skills to pinpoint a timeframe of arrival, and actually stick to the time. If you're not going to ever show up, at least give a courtesy call.
