Atlantic Broadband

Before Atlantic Broadband took over, Metrocast charged me roughly $192 per month for internet, basic cable, and phone. I kept the internet service, purchased Roku devices for my dumb TVs, purchased a streaming TV service, and switched to Vonage. After breaking down all my services, I now pay roughly $121 per month. After Atlantic Broadband took over, I requested a quote for internet + TV only and they told me $138. That is more than I am paying now for cable + TV + phone. They price gouge when bundling packages and never itemize costs.

I already had internet before they took over and they didn’t touch that but I added TV service and disconnected DirecTV and I am sorry I did. I can only record 2 shows on at the same time but you have to be watching one of them and you can’t view the shows from another room unless you have another DVR in that room. With DirecTV I could access the DVR no matter what other TV I use in my house and I could record 5 shows on at the same time. I can’t even see how the channels on my upstairs TV as I could on my downstairs TV. I asked about TiVo and they said they don’t have that available yet and don’t have a release date when they will but it is in the future. So disappointed, I wish I stuck with DirecTV instead of switching.

I called because my paper billing was stopped. I was told that I can have a online account or paper billing but not both. If I want paper billing they would cancel my online account. Customer billing is very bad. They took out my heavy duty router/modem and put in a piece of junk that doesn't work half the time. Worst company ever!!! High prices terrible service!!!

My cable tends to work for a month, then go out. If I want to watch TV, I have to call, be put on hold for sometimes hours, then get them to reset. Occasionally they send out a service person and mark the issue as resolved. Then two months later, it goes out again. I don't watch that much TV so I don't know it's out till I try to watch something, and then I have to find the time to deal with a long phone call or be home two hours for a service person. The company does not find their persistent lack of service a problem and refuses to give any kind of refund.

First off their rates are way too high for the service they provide. I'm paying $120 per month for basic cable and their top tier internet package. By comparison I was paying $30 less with Comcast and had double the download speed that Atlantic Broadband is giving me. Second, I had lightning strike which took out my personal router, their TiVo and Moca, and a TV of mine and then I was threatened to pay for their junk equipment.

They raise their rates pretty regularly and not that many choices for internet providers in this area. Would I recommend them for an internet provider? Heck no. I think you could find a better value with someone else.

Atlantic broadband WiFi customers ATTENTION! Download the app called Fing. You may be surprised to know the lack of security Atlantic broadband has. I called the company and they told me they could see my computer screen (is that legal) and told me they couldn’t see any red flags the Fing app produced. The app told me there was a major security problem and my WiFi was being hacked. The customer service rep told me they see two passwords associated with my account and which one do I want to use.

Service is decent and most reps are ok. But $50+ internet too high! I have fixed income and can't afford high prices! I have lowest speed. Price vs value not worth it!

This company is money gouger. They essentially included undisclosed costs and fees that they don't inform you of. You need to look into the details to understand that the PDF format of your monthly bill doesn't include all of the Taxes and Fees details. I canceled cable, purchased my own modem-router, and I now have a lower bill, which I expect to be lower in the next month. They don't provide details on the additional charge for all Sports channels, and the additional charge for local channels.

Website is awful. I have not been able to log into my account for over 2 years, yet, I have to pay a fee to pay my bill by phone. Internet is down every morning between 4-6 (which they deny). Tech support told me I could not troubleshoot my modem online - yet website has a link - "Troubleshoot your modem online." Tech support told me no updates were pushed, yet my modem had errors related to updates. I told tech support I had an ongoing intermittent outage problem. He kept saying, "It's running fine now." When I tried to explain the internet intermittently dropped, he told me I needed to listen and said, "It's fine now."

I have been a seasonal customer for 15 years. I just called to cancel my service because it keeps going up every year. The lady on the phone never tried to save me or ask me why I'm canceling??? Guess it doesn't matter to them. Where I work, we try to save every customer who calls because they are our paychecks. So sad they do not care!!!

Customer service is THE WORST! Each time I call (which is often) I hold on average 30 minutes, usually to be transferred to another department where I have to hold another lengthy amount of time. Hardly ever get my issue resolved yet they increase my bill by $20 every year. They continue to remove channels as they increase the rates. Get less for more money. On Demand is always on the fritz, our local office doesn’t even have a phone number, and the only reason we’re stuck with this company is because the satellite companies can’t get a signal with all of our trees. Calling Monday and canceling my subscription. I’d rather do without TV than deal with this sorry excuse for a business.

Outrageous. They tell me I don't get credit for cancellation until items picked up or return. I called. They say tech supposed to pick up, but they don't know when. I have to wait for this monopoly to pick up and it could take tomorrow or whenever but I must be home or take 2 buses to return them. They are abusive.

Though their internet may be great their customer service is lacking, if I could give less then 1 star I would. Katherine a "supervisor" for their customer care center was not only rude, but cursing on the phone. How is that customer service. Maybe this company should look into who is being the voice of their company. When I asked to talk to her supervisor she kept putting me on hold then would pick the phone up herself. Obviously she knew she was in the wrong and didn't want her superiors to know. Step up your game Atlantic Broadband. You've lost this customer.

Terrible Company, On hold as I write this, I see a charge on my bill for calling 411 when I lost all power, TV, phone, internet after some drunk hit a pole. Phone finally worked & I called to find out what happened & I was charged!!! I'm NOT paying my bill. Screw you like you're trying to Screw me!!!

Call to discuss account and sit on hold for 15 minutes. We are your customers. We pay your bills. And then to hear you advertise a show called “Smilf” very unprofessional. Thank God my wife didn’t call in.

I was paying for the internet but this year my condominium decide included the faster internet service with the cable service with the condominium expenses. It is the same the service. It is off and on all the time. They have a huge problem. I'm in Sunny Isles Fl. It so frustrating to trying to use the internet because sometime no connect for more than a minute and the setting starts scanning. I do not understand how can they cannot FIX THE PROBLEM. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE CONTINUE LIKE THAT. The worst part no other company we can have. If someone one knows please let me know other choices **. I'm very frustrated for 4 years. Thank you. I call them so many times and they do nothing or they. can do know how to fix it. Thank you.

Just like everyone else I have been on hold for hours. No recording giving the hours they are open or that they are closed at noon every day except Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday - then they are closed all day, unless a holiday falls within the 14 preceding days, then they are closed for all 28 days. No TV, phone or internet AGAIN but there is never anything wrong at their end.

For the past 3-4 days, my internet is down from early morning until about 12-12.30 PM. Called them 3 times on different days, waited for about 2 hours and no one picked up. This is horrible. I have 2 different internet accounts in my house 1- residential 2- business. Both are downs at once.

My internet service was interrupted (again!) so I called the customer service line. I waited TWO HOURS TWENTY FIVE MINUTES and no one picked up the call. The music just kept playing and the automatic voice recording would occasionally interfere to say, "Due to high call volume someone would answer shortly." I waited and waited and waited, no one answered.

We have had ABB since May of 2016 and it wasn't until recently (1month ago) we have started to have Internet issues. About a month ago, we decided to purchase our own Modem and Router so we would be able to save money by no longer paying the Modem/Router Lease fee. Coincidentally since then we have had the Internet drop signal sometimes for a few minutes, sometimes longer. We have contacted ABB what seems to be 10+ times, spoken with multiple Representatives (who were all great btw) and the issues still happen. We have since returned the original purchased modem (Arris Surfboard) and are now using a Motorola Modem. Both Modems purchased off Amazon, and both with stellar reviews mind you. The longest period we did not have any interruptions/issues was when we had to reconnect the leased modem during the period we had returned the Arris and were waiting on the Motorola.

I have been calling for almost 2 months to downgrade, no one ever answers. They are always busy. I leave a callback and don't get one. I am now 2 months behind because no one can answer. If I didn't need my internet I would just completely take myself off them.

We have been forced to use Atlantic Broadband as the building I live in does not allow any other provider. I have been using this company for over 4 years now. This company is bad beyond measure. I pay for 100mbps and rarely get half that. Calling the customer service? Good luck! I have actually waited for hours to get to someone. And when you get to someone, it does not end there; they transfer you from one department to another, until you give up. I check the internet speed regularly after realizing that what I pay for is not what I get. I bought a new Apple router for $200 thinking that would solve the issue. It didn't!

Their internet service is awesome but the customer service is terrible. It takes a minimum of 45 minutes to talk to a live person. Also, I wish there was a better selection of Spanish channels.

Atlantic Broadband is fairly good value but in order to get discount you need to combine other features such as phone and internet. When you call for customer support you usually have to wait a long time for them to answer the phone.

Atlantic Broadband Cable, Internet and Phone service is the ABSOLUTE pits. Their customer service is either nonresponsive or when you do finally get to talk to someone after hrs. of being on hold they are rude. Their service technicians can't seem to diagnose the problem therefore the problem NEVER gets fixed. You will wait weeks for a service call to actually happen (again never correcting the problem), yet they want you to pay for your service a month in advance. They will NOT prorate your bill for the services you paid for but never got. These people are the worst company on the planet, so if you’re thinking about using their services you might want to rethink that, run from this company, run as fast as you can. If you decide to use them I GUARANTEE you WILL regret it.

We are out of internet service again... Day 3... This is the 6th time in a 2 year time span. Our line doesn't run from a pole to our house directly, it actually runs from a pole through several houses' backyards laying loose on the ground or over someone's fence. We are at the mercy of landscapers, weather, critters, vandals, children. This rig looks like it belongs somewhere in a third world country. I had to plea with our new neighbor a few weeks ago to please not to cut the wire as we and our other neighbors depend on it.

Awful Customer Service. It is impossible to talk to them. Average waiting time is 30 minutes or more and then they put you on hold to transfer you to another department and the wait becomes unbearable. Trying to report a problem and get it solved then, is almost impossible.

I signed up with them and they hooked me up and I had them for 1 week then I noticed my services were disconnected so I called and they told me there was a previous account there. Well they needed my lease then that wasn't good enough so they needed my license. Well now that wasn't good enough so now I spoke with this horrible person Lauren who was very cocky and unprofessional 301-759-4806 number ** and she told me they won't refund my money now until they get their stuff back so I said, "No you can come get it." She is now telling me she won't refund it for another 4-6 weeks and it will be a check. And when I yelled at her she told me how rude and disgusting, trashy and unprofessional I was. Do not waste your time with these people. They will rob you.

My cable bill increased to $243 in July 2016. Today, 5/11/17, I opened my bill. It's now $326 per month, an increase of $83 a month. I was never notified of the increase. The internet is slow. The TV loses it connection at least once a week. And Customer Service doesn't care. "Just bring back your equipment and we'll stop billing you." Guess what? We've started looking for a new provider for our internet and TV service.
