After leaving Frontier today I will not use them nor recommend them in the future. When you leave a company and disconnect you should not be required to pay a disconnect fee when you aren't in a contract but are month to month with them. To have them pay out the remaining weeks of their billing cycle when they can't use the product is not acceptable. Customer Service: 0. Tech Support: 0.

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.

If I could have rated no stars...I would have. :( They took forever installing my service back in Feb 2019, have the cable cord that was supposed to be buried in the ground. The worker never came back out to bury it. I called about the situation and ended up having my internet switched without my permission. I called over 3 times and each time I was hung up on!!! I hate a switched and will be cancelling my service asap!!!!

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. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told: "I'm the account manager". Would not allow me to speak to the supervisor.

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.

I have photos that I’ve taken of the upload speed on my PS4 being 17.5 kbps and my download speed being 332.9 kbps! KBPS! No joke. We pay almost 80.00$ a month for high speed internet through Frontier. My husband and I have both called to address this issue. We’ve had customer service say, “hmm” and tell us to check the speed on a website they recommend while we’re on the phone. Then when we’ve reported it’s abysmal... It’s just more “hmmm” or “not sure why it’s like that”. Or you just wait on hold and get hung up on. There are daily outages. A few months ago they shut us off over being 7.00$ short on a bill! We’ve been Frontier customers for 10 years! Living in a rural area forces some people to use their awful service. We live in central Indiana. If I could give Frontier 0 stars I would! Please avoid this service provider if you can help it.

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!!! Fortunately my wife's brother lives just up the road and I'm going to wait for the call there! I have spent HOURS on the phone with their agents and they say they can't break from the confirmation call protocol! Wish us luck...Pray for us!

Customer service you say? It’s non existent. Our internet service has been abysmal for two years, and we have had numerous techs in our home and up and down the street to no avail. Our router blinks off at least 25 times a day and my wife and I work out of the house, and trouble free internet is important. When calling customer service, the wait time is long enough to fall asleep. Two days ago my wife was on hold for over an hour, and finally a rep from another country had all kinds of excuses. At one point putting us on hold to research something and assured that she will be back, explaining to “stay on the line". We kept the line open only to be disconnected after 5 minutes with no return call. (She asked for our number in case she needed to call back!) This company just needs to go out of business.

This company is hands down the worst I've ever experienced. This company was supposed to back date my service in May. I had to call 7 times to check the status. Called this week and experienced rude inexperienced representatives and a supervisor who tried to over talk me. Her name was Jenice. Each agent tried to over talk me and finally I received an team lead that sounded like she knew what she was doing and was helpful after I had been transferred several times and on the phone for 5 hours off and on (no exaggeration). You would think that a company would pride themselves on customer service. Not this one. I'm looking into other options in my area. So disappointed. And I will continue to report them based on this experience.

After 4 months of intermittent service and 15 hours on the phone with Frontier, I gave up. Our internet would drop out at least 3 times an hour. I tried to have them fix it at on least 8 different occasions. The last one, I couldn't stay connected on the phone due to no wifi. My call was dropped twice and even though I asked them to call back if the call gets dropped (due to poor wifi), I never received a phone call back. To add insult to injury, when I canceled the service since I didn't really have service, I was told I would have to pay for services through the rest of the month AND I would be charged a disconnect fee.

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. They put you on hold over and over again. They suck! Think twice before you waste your time and money! The service sucks too. It is super spotty and cuts out constantly. The only reason we were going to go with them is because the person we bought the house from had Frontier 45 Mbps internet service. It hasn't even been 30 days since they moved out... Then frontier tells us they can only give us 3 Mbps.... **! Run, run far away!

Was told installation would be done between 9 and noon on Saturday, No show. Called CS and was told “He’s running late”. Was told Sunday morning that a tech would be here by noon. Another no show. Called Sunday evening to CS and was told “The customer service person lied to you. Tech in your area doesn’t work on Sunday.” Set another appt for Monday morning taking a day off work to be here. CS said they would put “Priority” on the installation and tech should arrive by 8. It’s 9am and nothing. I seriously think I made a BIG mistake. No shows and lying reps - what a way to introduce themselves to new customers. On a 0-10 scale, they are a big, fat zero!

What a horrible experience. They will tell you anything to sign up for their two year contract. Any company that wants you to sign a 2 year contract is not a company to values customer service. They get you to lock you up in an agreement because they how how horrible they are and they can't keep you once you experience how they do business. I've been waiting for two days at home waiting for their service guy to show up. They changed my appointment three times already and they keep me waiting at home for their guy to show up. They lied about having a spot available before I gave my SS # and signed me up for two years. After calling CS several times, nothing gets resolved. Horrible, deceiving and careless company. STAY AWAY!!!!

Frontier plays games with the speed packages on streets. They do this so they don't have to upgrade their system. I'm stuck on the 12/1 speed. I have been trying to upgrade my speeds for a couple months. I get the lies. It's just a way to keep one house at low speed and up next house high speeds. When that does not work toward evening internet slows down on the street. My next door neighbor was able to get the service with the 25/3 speed. No problem. I'm close to the hub. This is a skip trick. One house get the speeds. Frontier Communications is top worse internet company.

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.

I highly recommend NOT getting Frontier for your internet & TV service. We've gotten nothing but lies since day one. Called to get service explaining to them we needed good quality internet & TV and was told no problem. After having the service for a few weeks the internet stinks. Called to complain and then are told they only guarantee internet when connected directly through ethernet. Also was told at the time of signing up that we'd receive a $100 gift card after paying our first two bills only to now find out that you have to be with them 90 days. Called customer service tonight & was on hold for over 15 minutes to only be hung up on at 7:59 p.m. instead of clearing their call queue the correct way by actually talking to their customer. This company apparently only cares about getting money & not providing quality customer service or products.

Our internet stopped working in the morning, we called and were told there was an outage in our area per their recorded message of Frontier technical support, and had to leave our phone numbers for their text message to confirm when issue was fixed, but we had never received messages. We couldn't reach the technical support dept directly at all because they simply disconnected the call after their recorded message was played. We ended up calling customer service dept and the person answered the call simply said she was going to transfer me to technical support without letting me finish the explanation, but instead I was actually transferred to retention dept. Maybe they thought I was on my way out and tried to save my account? I explained to the retention rep the whole situation and my frustration she sounded very comforting and said she found no outage in my area and would definitely find help for me.
She said she would talk to technical support and put me on a brief hold before she would transfer me, I was put on hold again, and less than a few minutes I began to hear the same recorded message about the outage in my area and asked me to leave a phone number so they can text me when issue is resolved, and then phone line was disconnected. Retention lady never came back to me. Worst service ever, not worth your time. This is fraudulent and lying to consumers for their bad service.

I should have read the reviews before ordering their service. Trying to disconnect is worse than trying to deal with customer service after ordering their service. My disconnect bill is more than my monthly bill. They hooked up the service but I suppose to unhook and ship it back to them. Are you kidding me????

Service purchased for work use. Unfortunately the apartment I live in only offers this and a much slower competitor. Required me to pay for an install fee just to tell the installer I don't want them touching my equipment and will not remove a 10$/month fee for a modem that I don't want. They claim it's not part of the monthly billing and an add on but are unwilling to remove it from the account.

Why is it so hard to talk to someone? I just need notifications on planned maintenance in the area so that our business can accommodate for their horrible service. Every time I try and contact support, it takes upwards of two hours, and not only that, but the representatives are dumber than a sack of rocks when it comes to understanding your problem.
Last rep I talked to, Jordan Whoknowswhat, he had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I'm pretty sure he didn't have a clue what a notification was. I asked to be transferred to another rep, and guess what? Another two ** hours. All to not have my issue resolved. Maybe I'll try online chat? Welp, 80 people in line also thought the same thing. I get to top 10, and what happens? The page crashed, and I had to start ALL over again. Not even going to attempt anymore. It shouldn't be this hard for a business customer to get some damn support.

I switched to Frontier last summer and was offered a package that had free HBO for a year. I realized after the first 3 months were over, that I was being charged for HBO and called. Frontier acknowledged the incident and removed the charges. This happened again every single month until I canceled in June. I could not begin to count how many times I have called or chatted with these people. Each time they admit that my promotion was free HBO for a year and somehow my package was removed after 3 months. They admit that.
At this point I am owed over $150 in overage charges that I have never received. It’s been 2 months since I cancelled and still don’t have this money. When I ask why the credit hasn’t been applied, no ones knows. When I called to cancel my internet and gave the date June 16. They decided to cancel my internet May 16 leaving me without internet before moving for an entire month. When I asked why they did it a month early, they said they didn’t know and acknowledged I gave the notice of June 16. They claimed they would not be able to turn the internet back on. At this point, I am not sure how to pursue legal action against this company for my owed charges. Do not, I repeat, do not use this company. If I could give zero stars I would.

I have been a Frontier DSL customer since the switch from Verizon. My only other option for internet service is satellite in my condo complex which does not work for online gaming due to the high ping so I am unfortunately stuck with Frontier until I sell my home and move. 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.

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.

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 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!

As far as our business landline phone service, it is also still not operational, it is still forwarded to my cell phone. I can't unforward it because when I try all I get is a busy signal - Frontier says they need to create a trouble ticket for our landline. They advised I leave my return contact number on their automated system so I wouldn't have to hold as there would be an hour wait time.
4 hours ago I left my contact number on their automated system and still have not received a return call from them. I have wasted 3 hours of my time making phone calls to Frontier, being put on hold for long times and being transferred over and over again and our phone and fax lines are still not working. Frontier's customer service is HORRIBLE! And they don't seem to know what they are doing!!

A rep came into our neighborhood soliciting for Frontier. He quoted one price and then, when the bill arrived, it was $35.00 more than he quoted. I called customer service and accidentally pressed the incorrect prompt. I apologized to the rep the moment he answered for pushing the wrong #. I thought he might just transfer me to the correct dept. but he began shouting and telling me what prompt I should have pushed. I finally terminated the call, but he called back and continued shouting. I again terminated the call.
Then I called back later in the day and spoke to someone regarding the amount of the first bill. She was another shouter and over and over again repeated the same thing, that I signed up for 2 years, and that's what I am stuck with. I asked over and over again to speak to a supervisor, but Michele kept talking. Finally after waiting on the line for 25 minutes, a supervisor named Dillon answered. 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

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.

Finally hung up after 2 hours and called on another phone line, I have been on hold for 25 min and counting.

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 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 cancelled AGAIN today, now May, and I am sure will be fighting them tooth and nail over the invoices in which SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN SENT!
In total, Frontier's incompetencies have cost my husband 5+ hours of dealing with issues that should have been solved on call number one. In fact, between my Father and Grandmother, we cancelled and transferred several accounts SEAMLESSLY. Following the death of two family members, their communications services should be the LEAST OF MY WORRIES! I would actually go without services before I ever used Frontier!

I had service scheduled to install Frontier internet service in my new home. The allotted 4 hour window was 9 am till 1 pm. At 12:57 pm I finally received a text from the installer, "Would be there in approximately 30 minutes." That did not work. I had to go to work, so the installer ensured me that he would be there between 8:30 and 9:00 the following morning. I delayed going to work for the installer. At 10:00 I still haven’t seen or heard from the installer. I called Frontier and canceled the installation and new service.

When I first called to cancel/terminate our services I was given an order number and verbal confirmation that our services will be terminated 24 hours after that call.
One month later we were surprised that we are still being billed for full month service. So I called again to follow up why and I was told that the services are still active and never cut off or terminated although they have a record that I really called on April 2019 for some reason. It appears that the first customer representative that I spoke to deliberately gave me a false order number and falsified my request. 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.

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.

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!

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.

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....

I am highly disappointed, I really don't mind paying if it's for a higher tier plan but there is no change in internet speed and yet twice the cost. Thanks, Anshul.

I have had Frontier phone service since they took over from the previous company in WV. The first thing they did was raise the price by $4.00 a month. Over the next several years the quality of the line reception deteriorated significantly, to the point where you could not understand what the caller was saying and the caller couldn't understand me. I had service calls to correct the situation at least five times. The line quality would improve slightly for a few weeks and then would be bad again. The techs said it was moisture in the old phone line. I asked them to replace it. They said they are not authorized to do that and no one else would, either. I canceled my service this week. I get good reception with my Verizon cell phone.

I was a customer of Frontier for at least seven years. I discontinues my service due to excessive increases in pricing in early January 2019. I returned all their equipment at my cost and at that time I had a credit balance of $419.71. As of today April 27, 2019 I have not received the monies due me. Frontier wants its payments in thirty days from you the customer. However Frontier's policy is not to refund monies due the ex-customer for 90 days and you get screwed also when you return their equipment. Not a good company to do business with!

Since leaving Frontier Fios a year ago, they still have not returned the money they owe me, despite talking to many representatives and managers. 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.

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.

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.

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.

If you work from home, you can not have call forwarding, call waiting, or voicemail on your phone. Even if you tell them up front how critical this is, they put voice mail back on without your permission. You can not take it off yourself, and they will take 4 days to take it off for you.

Simply tried to add an email to our existing business account. After four Frontier technicians and an hour and a half, still could not get the new email to work. Talk about not understanding customer needs. The first two technicians were trying to change an existing email - thereby creating even more problems!! I finally said I have to go and that I am creating a new email account through Hotmail. I did that and it took FIVE MINUTES! Frontier could not add a new email in an hour and half and having four people try to do it. If I could give them a 0 star rating - I would! Do NOT use Frontier for anything.

It was so difficult to talk to Frontier to cancel service. Talked to agent through live chat, she was trying to keep me stay and sending me info which I didn't care at all. After 10min talking, she finally gave up and gave me a phone number to call to cancel service. EXCUSE ME!! That was wasting my time. Then I called that number and waited for 45 min to have an agent connected. He told me Frontier didn't prorate and I need to pay the full month cycle even if I was on the 4th day of my current cycle. That's so RIDICULOUS!! I've never felt so bad with a company - bad custom support, ridiculous policy. Will keep away from Frontier, FOREVER!!!

Our business has been without working phones for five days now and our internet stopped working today and hasn't come back on. I know for a fact that we've lost at least a couple thousand dollars in business by now. We put in a repair ticket three days ago when we realized we were not receiving calls on either of our two phone lines. They offered to credit us a measly $20 on our bill, this is an insult in light of the accumulated work we've accumulatively lost because of the quality of service they have provided us going on 7 years now.
The repair service was supposed to show up yesterday between 1 pm to 4 pm and they were NO CALL NO SHOW. Frontier owns all the lines under our area which is in a dense commercial area, as a result, all of the local business owners in our area can't switch to another provider unless it's a non-traditional despise Frontier services. One of our neighbors was so fed up that they actually switched to a microwave connection. We have begged them to fix the lines out here numerous times, spent accumulated days on the phone with support and time wasted following their dead ended troubleshooting instructions. Unplugging the modem is not going to fix the garbage lines. Fix your problems Frontier.

Beginning when we first even got it set up at our apartment. They had the wrong apartment number and phone number so they missed the initial install date. They then tried to charge us $75 for installation when 1. I was quoted $40 installation fee. 2. When they came out to install on 3/8, they told me to go to my apartment to uninstall and then actually showed up at my house to do the install even after I confirmed the addresses and that the Rep would need access to the apartment to uninstall. 3. The Rep left house after hook up without making sure internet was actually working so I had to be on a call for over an hour to get internet set up.
4. Frontier was supposed to bury the line in our yard. Said it would take 7-10 business days. No communication received as far as actual time/day they were coming so we received a voicemail on 3/14 stating that the gate was locked so they could not get into back yard. 5. We called them to set up an appt on 3/22 to bury the line. Husband was home and the gate was unlocked. The rep came and told him he could not bury the line because he was told reason for visit was that our internet is not working and he isn't able to bury lines even though we received a confirmation "DIGGING TICKET". 6. It has now been another whole week with ZERO communication from Frontier about when they are returning.

About 4 years ago I got Frontier internet. I was paying about $59.00 per month, with auto pay they took off $5, so it came to $55. plus some change. I called to cancel service just over a week before we were to move out of the area on Nov. 28th. I was told I would be billed about 11 days later as usual (Dec.11th) because it was into the next billing cycle. Ok, I'll go with that, whatever. On Jan 11th they took out of my account, another month's amount only this time they took the $59. plus change and more than a month after we moved, so that's NO SERVICE going to that address, but I was billed. So, I called them and after 4 different people, was told the person I talked to in November, never put in the cancellation order. So, I was told I can get a credit back into my account, because that was their fault. That would take up to 3-4 wks. UGH!
Ok, well, nothing I can do about that, right. So Feb 2nd, the credit was given into my account. March 25th comes and what do you know, a letter from Frontier saying I owe them $40.94 immediately or they are sending my account to collections...ARE YOU PEOPLE FREAKING NUTS??? So, after being transferred to 6 different people, I finally got this FREAKING rude individual who spoke over me the entire time, and who informed me the amount due was for a cancellation fee (9.99), and the fee for cancelling a promotion for internet (30.00), now mind you I have had them for 4-5 years, so this isn't an early termination fee...This is some FREAKING BOGUS FEE.

We have had Frontier since they took over for U-Verse In CT and from the start we had problems with billing and services. However, like so many we figured we had to put up with poor service and high pricing (they sneak in increases to your bill in minimal increments before you realize you're paying a significant amount more every few months... I think 1/3 of the bill is "other services & taxes"). Recently, I complained and was transferred to the Retention Department who offered me an attractive package if I would commit to another year. I agreed to what the representative told me on Thursday morning and an hour later, I rec'd an email with the "contract" which was more than double what she had quoted!
You can't respond to the email so I had to call back and get in the loop for what took another hour. The next rep. said she could see what happened and she would "fix" it (LOL)... Later that day the contract came in and it was about the same as the first one (nearly double). I had to call back the next AM and cancel it and then that rep said she would fix it. Long story, short on Monday all of my services were disconnected… When I called in they apologized and admitted it was their error (they somehow inadvertently shut off our services but I was told "not to worry they would escalate the issue "and it would be on SOON). It is now Tuesday evening and I have spoken with at least 8 representatives and been promised by each one that they know how to fix it.
As of tonight I still have no phone! Frontier is way too big and their procedures/training are sorely lacking. There is no way for the rep. to double check her/his work against what the customer receives and there is no way for the customer to get back to that rep. It is a NIGHTMARE!! Bottom Line: I would change to another provider in a heartbeat if there was another service provider in our area but the 3 big vendors in CT have a monopoly and have no regard for the consumer... It's all about BIG SALARIES for the higher ups and the bottom line for Stockholders. It's never good when there is so little competition that we are subject to such high pricing and poor service. I would NEVER recommend Frontier. Unfortunately it doesn't seem the other two vendors reviews are much better! Good Luck trying to resolve an issue with this company!

My elderly father passed away in Oct. Moved my Mom out of the house in November to Memory Care (this is important). It took me 2 months to get them to talk to me because I was not on the account, they needed the POA. Was told to FAX the POA and death certificate (seriously, this is NOT life support, but you would think so) to them, and then they would let me discontinue service once the POA info showed up on the account. Called 3 times after faxing (fax - this tells you something) and finally the person I talked to called the fax place and confirmed they had the POA. I guess they weren't interested in putting the info in my folks' account after all. Anyway, nice customer service, backdated the end of service date to 12/27/18, no more charges pending, confirmation number, all done, nice and tidy.
Oh no, 2 weeks ago I received a letter telling me I had not paid a bill and was going to be sent to collections. Spent 2 hours being transferred between customer service, billing, and collections - twice each. FINALLY, a young man went through each of the last bills and found that December charges prior to cancellation had not been paid. I had gotten NO bills. Fine, I sent in the check and, no kidding, promptly received bills for January and February. No boxes in the house, no electricity in the house, clearly nothing being used. There is no breakdown on the invoice indicating what the bill is even for. I am terrified to call them and start the 2 hour process over. What will happen after that? Dear God, they are awful.

Each bill was a different amount. Now, when I'm trying to get help with paying my bill. I get passed from one representative to another every time I call. I'm always left waiting for someone to respond and many times after waiting 15 to 20 minutes the call goes back to the same monotonous music. They show chat available but it is never operational.

Updated on 08/14/2019: Frontier has poor customer and terrible follow up. Their systems are so large and the company is so big that no one has any idea of what is going on. The technology and systems trump any possibility of having a sufficient communication to resolve a problem with a human. I was in a two year contract and somehow my account got kicked out of the plan and the monthly fee went up by 40 per month. No one really could explain why and it took months and me leaving a bad review on this site and the BBB to get it resolved. Once resolved and my account was credited, I was assured in writing from an escalation manager that I was no longer in a contract and my monthly fee would remain as is. WELL SURPRISE, after only a few months it went up again by $35.
Now, here we go again on the merry go round. On the phone with customer service for 24 minutes only for that pathetic customer service rep to transfer me to "client retention" with NO HEADS UP. Guess what, when that happens, YOU GET TO START ALL OVER AGAIN WITH your name, account number, problem identification, etc... Now you go from 24 minutes to 40 minutes and still no progress. Then that person tells me, my contract expired and that's why the price went up. WHAT CONTRACT???? He proceeds to tell me he can get the price back down easily ------ "wait for it" IF I SIGN ANOTHER CONTRACT.
I said no way. I’d rather mop the ocean first. At that point, I tell the customer service rep I’M Switching TO SPECTRUM. I DON’T CARE IF IT COSTS MORE! I'm not going to spend another 30 days fighting for Frontier to do the right thing. GOODBYE FRONTIER. I’ll do without TV before I'd ever consider going back. AND, YES, THIS IS MY GENUINE OPINION!!!!

Original Review: I have been overbilled by Frontier since November of last year. I asked for another box to be installed in my home, the customer service rep said it would be $11 more per month. They have been billing me $50 more per month. If it was told to me that it was going to be $50, I would have never added the box. That's ridiculous pricing. Here's the kicker. When they submitted the request, the "SYSTEM" kicked me out of my monthly and pushed me automatically into another plan, thus the explanation for the additional $50. It's a system constraint; not a human one.
Frontier has admitted it their fault over and over. I the emails to prove it. HOWEVER, no one can override the system. IT'S COMICAL. They owe me over $200. I cancel my service. I get charged an early termination fee. This has been timing consuming and I would say PATHETIC at best on solution. I have over 10 emails; documented phone calls and nothing. I have been extremely kind in all my communication to them. And now they won't even call me back. What can I do at this point? Hire an attorney. As soon as my plan contract expires, I'm out and will NEVER go back.

This is the worst company ever to do business with. They messed up the install at one of my properties so I scheduled a time for them to fix it and they gave me a confirmation number for the appointment. On the day or the repair they don't show up so I call them and they tell me there was no appointment scheduled for that day. I give them the confirmation number and they try to tell me it was cancelled because the problem was corrected. It wasn't corrected because I still had no internet service and the modem was in the wrong room. They didn't even bother to notify me they cancelled the appointment.
I decided to cancel my service there and at my home. My service terminated two days into the billing cycle and they sent me a bill for the entire month. So, I called them to find out how much I really owe. They tell me I have to pay for the whole month because they don't prorate. So I'm supposed to pay $95 dollars for 2 days of service? That's not going to happen. If you're looking for cable, internet or phone, stay as far away from this company as you can. Their service is horrible and the customer service is even worse.

Frontier is okay on its service. It’s when something happens and you need to deal with Frontier where the frustration overcomes you. Expect unexplained rate increases. When that happens or you need to reach someone, expect to be #30 in line to chat with someone. Once you get someone, expect a very very long resolution time (2 hours is not out of the question). Finally, Frontier created a PIN number for you and expects you to know it to speak with someone in real time. If you don’t know it (again, YOU didn’t create it), expect tons of back and forth of missed calls to get your simple problem resolved.

I've been trying for 5 months now to get auto-pay to work correctly on a second account, and despite 4 calls to customer service (totalling nearly 2 hours of my time), the auto-pay is STILL failing inexplicably and charging me late fees. Meanwhile, my other account's auto-pay works fine with the same credit card, and I can pay the bill on this account via their UI using the same card. The kicker is that despite these failures originating at the Frontier end, their customer service refuses to refund the late fees. On this last call today, I said, "So you're telling me that my ONLY option is to pay the bill and then blog about it?" And the rep said, "Yes, unfortunately, that's all we can do." So here I am!

My family got a totally destructive home phone service from Frontier Communications (“Frontier”). MY STORY: In January, 2019, I asked Frontier to protect my home phone from persistent calls from unidentified numbers (Frontier named such calls private ones). After they added this protection, I found that my previous services were cancelled: my answer machine did not receive messages, the caller identification did not work, and my Frontier’s February bill increased by more than 50%. Later, after these mistakes were fixed, I got Frontier’s March bill and found that one more service has been cancelled in January: I could not make interstate and international calls through another provider, MasterCall, which I used earlier.
As a result of that erroneous cancelation of the service, Frontier charged me $80 for 16 minutes of international calls made in February. Compare this $5/minute charge with 3.9 cents/minute I paid MasterCall for such calls, and you will understand why I don’t use Frontier for international and interstate calls. However, Frontier REFUSED TO CORRECT THE MARCH PAYMENT BILL, requiring me to PAY FOR FRONTIER MISTAKE $80+taxes that is MORE THAN $100. Now, I found that Frontier again erroneously cancelled my caller identification service, but I don't call them to fix the problem because don't want to trigger a new chain of mistakes in my home phone service.
MY MOM’S STORY: My mom, as a person with low income, paid for her home phone service around $11/month before her phone service was sold to Frontier. Frontier ignored her low income status, despite the fact that my mom sent them all the necessary documents 3 times – every time they said that they did not get her documents, even when the documents were sent by registered mail. As a result, MY MOM HAS TO PAY TO FRONTIER more than $20/month for phone that is MORE THAN TWO TIMES THAN SHE PAID BEFORE FRONTIER BOUGHT THE HOME PHONE SERVICE. SUMMARY: Because of Frontier's home phone service, my family has to pay more money and spend more time discussing their mistakes, which negatively affect our budget and personal life.

Frontier is the worst cable company I have ever had. Truly broaden my horizon and views of how bad a company it could be! If you are thinking of disconnecting your service, read below: >>> Disconnecting from Frontier Service 101. KNOW YOUR CONTRACT TERMS Before you do anything! They can hit you with crazy fees. Plan for disconnecting service! Key Word: PLAN FOR IT!
Step 1: Cancel "Auto Pay" service two months ahead. Step 2: Frontier does not prorate last bill. If you are in the current billing cycle, make sure to cancel service at the last few days of the billing cycle. Step 3: Pay your last bill before cancelling. Frontier disabled the online bill pay once the service is discontinued (end of the billing cycle). Then you'll have to mail payment or pay additional fees to pay your last bill on the phone. Learn from my lesson and do not let Frontier trick you one last time! Now let's celebrate that this company is out of your life! Cheers!

They sent us a new box and return box-postage to send the defective box to them. We sent the defective box to Frontier on October 20th 2018. The UPS employee told me to be sure and keep the drop off package receipt because Frontier is notorious for claiming they didn’t receive the returned equipment. Well, ain’t that the truth! Our December bill had a $150 charge for unreturned equipment. I verified they received the delivery on the UPS site. I then called Frontier and the customer service rep confirmed receipt and she would get it corrected.
January’s bill still showed the charge and I assumed it was because the credit missed the billing cycle so I didn’t call. February’s bill arrives and it still not corrected. I called Frontier Customer Service and spent 1 hour and 40 minutes on the phone with them. I spoke with Gabriel. Several times I offered him the UPS tracking number and he said he already had it. I asked for a recap of what he did to resolve the issue to find out that he can’t actually correct it. He has to submit a CAP explaining the issue and some unknown person reviews it and decides if the account should be credited the disputed amount or not. REALLY! Customer service is not empowered to serve the customer. So, I asked Gabriel to transfer me to his manager. I I spoke with Sabrina. I then explained to her the issue and she explained to me the CAP system.
In my conversation with Sabrina it was discovered that the UPS tracking number was incorrect in their system. She updated the tracking number in CAP and gave them my phone number to call me with the results of CAP review. I never received a call but did receive March bill still charging the $150 equipment charge. Today I called customer service again. After being on hold for 30-minutes, Michael in Customer Service came on the line with some sort of sales pitch for a new service before even asking my name or account number. I asked to be transferred to Sabrina and Michael conveniently disconnected my call. I called back.
After being on hold for another 30 minutes I hung up and called City of Kirkland Utility Department. I was told that Doug ** handles unresolved disputes with Frontier. I’ve left him a message for a return call. I’m beyond frustrated with Frontier. We have two more years left on our contract and we’re considering just paying the back out fee and move on to another company. Do not use this company! Run and do not look back. They would improve their customer service significantly if their customer service reps were actually empowered to serve the customer.

I reported no dial tone Jan 15 on my landline. It is now 9 weeks later still not fixed. I have wasted long periods of time repeatedly re-reporting this. No cell reception @ my home. This is criminal. WTF!

Updated on 03/19/2019: Today is the 4th no show, no call. I was on the telephone with Frontier for another hour again today after technician didn't not show up for scheduled appointment again today! I was told another customer took longer than expected and I'm still getting serviced. I asked "Are you sure this time, because my son will be missing a second hockey practice due to waiting for techs that never show". He assured me that tech was coming and it may be 8pm and I need to be home.
It's now almost 9:30 pm so I called Frontier and automated thing said I'm scheduled for March 21st 8am-12pm. This has to be a joke!!! No company can be this bad and if I'm not hooked up by tomorrow morning I'm sending all my documentation to Attorney General. This is beyond ridiculous and I want reimbursement for the Netflix and Hulu I have been paying for all of March because I was told Internet coming. 4 missed appointments with zero phone calls from Frontier. Shame on you people and do not apologize yet again and say you understand. I don't want responses read from a card I want to be treated like a person! I will be expecting a tech tomorrow morning and no more lies or excuses please.
Original review: I called Feb. 27th to set up Internet service, they told me March 4th. I got an automated call stating due to unforeseen circumstances they had to reschedule for March 7th between 12pm - 4pm. I waited at home and at 4 pm I called customer service, after 20 mins wait time to talk to someone I was told I was still getting service that day and that she sent message for tech to call me when on his way. No call, no show. I talked to someone through messenger that night and was told a manager would contact me within 3 days, no contact was made.
I called Frontier yet again and spent over 1 1/2 hrs on the phone and shuffled around to a tech. He said he would put order in for hook up asap. I messaged on messenger yet again the next day and was told manager will contact me, next day I got an email saying, "I'm a manager and will advocate for you until it's resolved." That was 2 days ago and no service still. I am reporting them to the BBB and Attorney General. I paid money upfront when I ordered. I called today to get a refund and the wait time was so long that the automated thing said I would get a callback by 7 pm tomorrow. They are the worst Internet company EVER! I'm reporting this and am sick of being swindled out of money and time.

I've been with Frontier since they took over our Verizon Fios in 2016. Prior to the takeover by Frontier, we loved our Verizon Fios internet and TV packages. However, once Frontier took over it has been nothing but grief and aggravation. In addition to the world's rudest, least responsive, and most inept customer service (nearly every customer service call we made had to be handed up to a supervisor who invariably turned out to be surly, self-important, and inflexible).
Frontier repeatedly messed up our channel packages, charged us for channels we never received, gave us internet at much slower speeds than we were paying for, outrageously and repeatedly jacked the rates for our internet and TV packages (now over $200 /month for basic channel package and 100/100 internet), charged us full boat monthly rent for outdated and malfunctioning cable boxes and wifi modem, and refused to update our outdated equipment without charging us - all while offering new customers deals at less than half what we were paying as long-term customers.
Today we'd finally had it and canceled all services from Frontier. Despite the fact that we were less than a week into the new billing month, Frontier refused to prorate our service and return the unused portion of our payment. "John" at Frontier informed us that Frontier changed our contract, which allowed for such refunds, by placing some small print on our bill back in 2017. Without a doubt, Frontier is the worst all-around service provider I have ever dealt with in any category. If I had stock in this company, I would dump it as fast as I could. There is no way a company run like this can survive its competition in a world where over 60% of adults 18-35 stream their content and have no use for cable TV.
