Atlantic Broadband

I have had this internet service since May 2021. I am actually waiting a "Call Back" 2 1/2 hours! I can not use many of my services because the installer did not give me ABB email so I am supposed to sign in to watch PBS etc but can not. I never can get through to customer service. Is One person representative all they have, I don't know but it is extremely frustrating.

TWO hours spent on the phone and online trying to cancel an appt. The problem is still not resolved which means I spent another hour waiting for a callback to resolve the problem. My 91 YO is paying nearly $300 a month for NO premium channels and horrible service. Even worse is that she relies on closed captioned devices that require internet connectivity, which she loses at least 2-3 times a week. Horrible for anyone, especially the elderly or hearing impaired.

Like almost every other reviewer, I have experienced continuous and consistent loss of service (up to 4 times weekly); horrendous customer service (expect to wait an hour or more per call); and a dramatic increase in service costs (+$61.) over the course of 6-months. By far the worst internet provider I have EVER experienced. Like most others here, they have a monopoly in my town as well. They are acutely aware of this fact and act accordingly. They treat their customers like they truly do not matter.

I experienced an 80 minute phone wait for equipment replacement due to failure. The power unit for my cable box has failed and is very hot. The phone is answered by a recording with multiple choices which do not include equipment replacement or equipment failure. I am looking for an alternative TV and Internet provider.

The worst internet company I've had the displeasure of working with. They have long wait times to reach a customer service representative and they don't all give you the proper information. It's cheaper to have your own router and use autopay but be carefully; always check your bill. If you have service issues and you don't have their router, you're on your own. If the signal needs to be bumped up, don't hold your breath for them to come out, you'll probably pass out first. If you're in St. Mary's County MD, they have monopolized the area and only some towns have great coverage. The prices are outrageous at after 6 months. If you want to switch speeds, make sure it's after your did months or your promotional offer will be terminated the day you request a change.

On the phone with a rep of the company and after 20mins of waiting, was able to speak to an individual about the issue. He primarily focused on that the issue was modem-related. I had already reset the modem prior, yet he persisted. Rather than resolve the issue, he wanted to be my therapist and told me to calm down. Note that in the history, this issue has occurred just about a dozen times in Q2. Very unacceptable already. He avoided solving the issue and I asked to speak to a supervisor. Twenty minutes later, he comes back and mumbles a few words then automatically hangs up the phone. When the actual hell is this acceptable? I called back again to speak to another person and they put me on an instant disconnection when calling. This company needs to be investigated and most of their people fired for this service.

Been with ABB since 2017. One year after, new customer discount was removed. For the first few years, service was somewhat reliable though speeds were rarely what I was paying for. Called customer support to alter speeds at a lower rate. Speeds then became more reliable and rarely suffered an outage. Moved to a newer building, same zip code, in '21. Unfortunately, dealt with many conflicting statements from other customer reps regarding speed, payment, service, and even my location was recorded incorrectly. After nearly a half dozen back and forth calls, I finally spoke to a woman named Chris, who was able to resolve all of my issues, as well as a proper service speed and price. She was amazingly patient and polite. Atlantic Broadband never contacted me after for a review, so I am leaving one here in the hopes that someone will see it.

7 1/2 years since no one else provided service in my area without a phone. Paid years and rented all modems from ABB. Hours hours on hold to try to get through. Tech support is a joke. Modems are faulty and they know it. Plug and unplug modems multi times a day. 3 modems none work and internet (if you have any) is slow on highest package. Technician came out and checked wiring. Said it was modem again. After he left the NEW MODEM didn’t work (back to plug and unplug). ABB office is right down the street from my house. Goodbye finally!!!! Better cell companies offering WAY higher internet for a fraction of the cost. Someone needs to investigate this company please!??

Do not use this company for your internet service. They are a corporate giant, who gobbles up your local internet service provider, then they do nothing to increase their own customer service department personnel. Do the math, if you add 2 million new customers to your revenue stream, you are going to need to hire more customer service personnel. But that would cut into the company's profit, and the new CEO wouldn't look as good, and would have to buy a yacht that is 50 feet smaller than the other guy's yacht. They bought my local company, then they cut off my auto-pays without notifying me, then they cut off my internet. Great retention plan AB!

Ever since I got my Internet and TV service with Atlantic Broadband (unfortunately the only available company at Aiken, SC), first at a rental condominium then now an apartment -- it has been a very horrible experience: unreliable technicians, ridiculous customer service (no matter how simple your problem is, technical or anything - your waiting time on the phone is at least 45 minutes. Now I have technical issues at my apartment and I have been on hold for 1 hr and 15 minutes, and still counting believe-it-or-not) --- everything is real pain. I wish I have another choice. Believe-it-or-not, this is the apartment complex's choice as well, so I am a captive hostage (no other choice). Experience with this company is like living at third world countries, I thought I'm in America. This is beyond 'ridiculous'. There might be only one person on duty at their Customer Service in the entire USA. Very frustrating!!! Shame! Shame! Shame!
