About AT&T Internet
AT&T Internet offers multiple plans, including a 1 Gbps plan suited for those who have multiple devices or use HD streaming services. Prices range from $45 to $80 for the first year of service, but prices increase after the 12-month introductory period.

On Feb 10, 2017 I used Uverse's website to make a payment of 200.00 to be drafted from my bank account. On 2/13 payment posted and cleared my bank. However, on 2/14/2017 and second duplicate payment of 200.00 was presented to my bank which I had rejected. I immediately called AT&T and was told no such duplicate payment exists and that they can only see the original payment submitted on 2/10, so therefore something is wrong with my bank. On 2/17/2017 this duplicate payment was resubmitted to my bank, which I rejected again. After approx 10 calls I finally got someone who instructed me to email my bank statements for research. After no one ever calls me back, I reached out only to be told that my bank return the original payment from 2/13, which actually did cleared my bank. My statements clearly show this yet AT&T refused to rectify this.

I changed phones today from Apple to an AT&T Nokia. ** at shop put in new sim card. Didn't even test it!!! :((( So I drive to Nevada thinking phone was fine. Fired it up... says "no sim card". Called tech/customer service. They couldn't get it to work. And oh by the way... can you go down to a AT&T store to get it fixed. They want me to waste 2 hours of my life because they are so arrogant and inept! Never again with this company. If I were in AT&T management I would be absolutely embarrassed with a 1-2 rating. They DON'T CARE! Get in and get them the hell out of the store as quick as possible! I will NEVER use another AT&T device or service. I come from a big family. My goal is to get at least TEN of them to cancel their service.

I have been a DirecTV customer since 2007. February 2016 a representative from AT&T called and said that I could bundle my DirecTV with AT&T U-verse internet for a fee of $106.11 a month for 12 months. I accepted and my nightmare began. The first bill was $315.56. I was shuffled back and forth between the DirecTV customer service and ATT Uverse. Each company blamed the other. Heed my warning!! Stay away from ATT bundle packages. I had never had an issue with DirecTV until now. Every month the bill is significantly higher than the $106.11 I agreed to. Every month I had to call to get shuffled between customer service, customer loyalty, customer retention and every time I was told different rates sometimes on the same phone call by different people.
I talked to the rudest POS one could imagine April 17, 2017. She canceled my Internet as soon as I got off the phone. Talked to another gentleman from customer retention 20 minutes later. He apologized offered an even lower price. He tried to turn my Internet back on to no avail. He transferred me to tech support who still had no success turning back on what the Rude POS had just turned off.
Tech support arranged for a technician to come to my house April 19th between the hours of zero 8:30 and 12:30. The technician arrived about 9 o'clock and when she looked up my account it showed no internet service whatsoever even though I had previously had internet service for well over a year with them. The technician tried to restore my internet service with no success. She called her boss on her system as I was simultaneously on hold with customer service, customer retention, customer loyalty and tech support for approximately 3 hours to be told by the last person at Customer Loyalty (Bertha in West Virginia) that I would have to pay a $99 installation fee to turn back on equipment that was already installed.
This is the last straw. I'm canceling all my services with DirecTV and ATT Uverse. The technician told me she and other ATT employees complain of the same thing. Agree to one price and billed significantly higher every month. I hope this turns into a class action lawsuit. STAY AWAY FROM ATT DIRECTV BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM!!!

I had at&t and DirecTV installed as a bundle deal on 4/13/17. By 4/15/17 I had no internet service and the TV signal kept dropping. An AT&T technician came out and determined the problem was at their "CO" (hub). He couldn't fix it so put in a ticket. Never fixed, no correspondence from at&t. Kids couldn't do homework and I just kept getting the runaround. 6th day without service I cancelled service. I was told since I was in a 30-day window no charges (per salesman and first CSR rep I spoke to. WRONG. Over $400 cancellation fee for services I never received plus I have to do all the work returning their equipment.
AT&T/DirecTV are scam artists. You call their customer service and they never have any notations regarding the last 10 times you called. Horrible customer service and they never even apologized for me never having service. They were only interested in telling me about all the cancellation fees they were gladly sending me. At&t directv are trying to come into my neighborhood to compete with COX Cable. I'm informing all my neighborhood how they did me and how much time and money their 9 days of no service cost me.

BEWARE OF AT&T. The only reason I agreed to try AT&T was because I was assured by the salesman that the installation fee of $99 would not be charged if I canceled before 30 days. I didn't like the patchy service and ended up using it for only 9 days before I canceled. Two months later I received a bill for $117.11. I disputed the bill, had to call back three times, and endured multiple transfers before a "manager" told me the installation charges will not be reversed. Twenty years ago I was erroneously billed by AT&T. The company's policies have obviously not changed. I will never attempt to do business with this company again. I propose you do the same.

Worst company ever!!! Started out with DirecTV and LOVED them, never had an issue. Moved homes and ATT have an offer that was SUPPOSED TO BE CHEAPER and not over $115 so I went with it. Ha. It's 4 months later and I'm still getting hit with all these "fees" and nonsense bills at $165. I literally have to call every single month multiple times to fix my bill. Because one person says, "Yes I will fix that for you," but then it doesn't get fixed. I even speak to managers who say, "We will get this sorted out," and nothing ever gets sorted out. I returned my equipment for my DirecTV account (which is also ATT because they are joint companies now) and without me knowing, they sent my account to collections because they never received my old equipment in the mail!!!
I called them and SUCH A COINCIDENCE they happened to "find my missing equipment”. Manager said in 6 days I'd get a callback to review everything and take that collections off my account. It's been more than 6 days and guess what... No phone call... I'm still in collections. No surprise there. ATT is by far the WORST cable/internet/phone provider out there! They rip people off. Their employees are clueless at their job, or they just don't care?
I go online to ATT website for ATT customer support but the number on ATT website ends up at the DIRECTV center... Like what the heck people!? Even people at DirecTV seem clueless as to what is going on on the ATT side of things. They say ATT and DirecTV are "the same company" now but they don't even communicate with each other. I have a friend who is DirecTV employee and says ever since ATT stepped into the picture... DirecTV has gone downhill. Save your money, stress, hair loss, anger for something else people! Don't get ATT!

Moved from Cincinnati to San Antonio Apr 2016. Searched and found AT&T, as internet provider and the best internet plan I could get involved getting a landline for the promotional rate. Promotional rate ended while I was out of country, 2 weeks ago, and now they've charged the $32 for the landline. For the past 3 days, I've called and also had 3 chat sessions, to try to resolve this, since Apr 17, 2017, and get a better rate/less expensive plan. Somehow, their system reset my passcode and favorite restaurant answers. These answers are needed before a rep can further assist or a chat can proceed to the "useful stage".
They say a manager will call me and are probably using the number listed on my account, which is probably the landline, that I've never connected/used. I've requested a call back on my cell, after providing my account number, full name, and cell #. Hell will freeze over before I get a return call because it's been 3 days. Now, they're telling me to go to nearest AT&T store to reset my passcode. This is beyond ludicrous and absolutely the worse customer service I've ever had. I just need to find another internet provider to switch.

I have been helping my sister with her AT&T and DirecTV bundled package. Around the beginning of January I contacted AT&T. My sister would be canceling her whole package, internet, telephone, and tv service. The cancellation occurred January 5. However not one person over at least 3 calls said to contact DirecTV separately. The billing for all services were on one bill and only one phone number. She received a bill in April for past due amount. I called the ATT number and at that point said they would transfer me to DirecTV. I explained I had not received service from them since January 5 but their reply was I didn't let them know, I have spent at least a couple of hours trying to resolve the issue. No one can or will remove the charges.

I have an account with AT&T Residential (Internet and DirecTV). Last year AT&T offered me a contract for 2 years with DirecTV and AT&T. Now, after only one year of contract the bill increased in $84.15. I called customer service of AT&T. The representative Valentina was focused only in enroll me to receive text message in my phone. She transferred me with another representative, Jayson, who listened the entire problem and hung up the call. They are supposed to call me back, but never happened. AT&T is disrespectful and unprofessional and this that happened now happened too with previous contracts and nothing happen for the head of AT&T. They win each year more money. I hate you, AT&T. I don’t recommend AT&T to my friends.

I got internet and phone in March 2017. It never worked properly. It drops off every few minutes. Phone pauses every few minutes as well. Signals are sooo weak that no device work properly. Streaming stops. On top of this I got huge bill including installation charges that were never supposed to be there! I stayed over the phone to cancel the service and I was told to allow a technician to come & fix one more time and have a certificate from the technician saying that he cannot fix it then only I can cancel. Other option is to break the contract and pay the penalty!! Internet and phone has never worked and still I cannot cancel the service! I did not have much problem with cellphones but they have been charging sooo high. I am sooo unhappy about that...

From all angles AT&T U-verse is the absolute worst. They installed the Wi-Fi at our house and it was working when the technician was there, then it stopped working when he left. We called only to deal with a condescending customer service lady. After 15 minutes on the phone, she scheduled a service call for a technician to come on a Monday evening. Monday comes and no technician comes. So we call again to find out what happened and deal with a customer service lady who is completely incompetent. I could barely understand her and she kept putting me on hold. The phone call lasted 30 minutes because she kept putting me on hold, and she scheduled another service call for a technician to come the next day. She said I will get a confirmation call the next morning.
The next morning I receive no confirmation call (surprise surprise). I called again and deal with another customer service agent. He wasn't too bad, but he kept putting me on hold. The whole call lasted 40 minutes and I was on hold for probably 30 minutes of that time. He tells me that they have no record of a service request for this evening - meaning that lady I spoke to last night just didn't schedule it. He scheduled another one for tomorrow evening even though I kept telling him I originally scheduled one for today. I am so fed up with this company. Their service doesn't even work and their customer service people are incompetent. And the worst part is that we're paying for a service that doesn't even work. If they don't come today to fix our Wi-Fi, we're cancelling. We had Charter in the past and had no issues with them.

Absolutely the worst TV channel selection--if you get the basic package it is all home shopping type channels. Not worth the money of $90/month for basic service! Also, the service is constantly interrupted and you have to go through numerous steps to get it to work properly--both for TV and internet.

I subscribe to U-verse because they had wireless cable boxes, I've had them for about six month and it's been nothing but a nightmare. Can not watch an entire TV program without losing streaming, if I use more than one wireless item (cell phone, computer, etc.) I lose all service. Customer service is outsource so there is very poor communication. Because this is my summer home, I say to myself it will get better the next and it never does. It's time to change carrier. Stay away from AT&T. They don't care.

Currently living in South Korea, bought a home in Hendersonville, TN. My son went to live there in March mainly to try to get everything set up before I retire to that home. Through website, set up the installation of phone, internet and television. Received confirmation and an appointment for March 20 and AT&T was made aware that my son would be on site. The day came and they showed up for about 10 minutes and said they would need to come back. One week later, he called. Customer service was vague and said someone would be out. No one showed. Called again, vague communication and nothing happened. Called again and was told that since I made the request I would have to call.
Korea is 13 hours ahead of TN. So, I went on the chat line. Almost 2 hours later and 3 customer service representatives, someone came on and said that they could not complete the set up. I asked why and they said that there was no "box" at the address. OK, why couldn't someone tell my son who is well over 21? Why did it take almost a month to communicate that they could not do the installation? Apologies but no explanation. They had my email on the request form and no one contacted me as well. It could have been a simple solution. But, no.
As we are going back and forth, they are asking questions that indicate they did not know of my request. Example: what was my phone number on site, the previous provider wouldn't release the number, etc. I had to remind them that I was a new customer and asking for new services. OH, they claimed. Then I asked when would services be available. They couldn't tell me. What???? This is a nice neighborhood and I could have moved on IF there had been communication. It says that AT&T has about 98% of the services in TN. I will be one of the 2% that does not.

This happened over July - October in 2015. I'm still upset. My father passed mid-July. I contacted AT&T two days later to cancel his cellphone and cable/internet. The phone was easy enough. Then they transferred me to the Uverse people. They wouldn't cancel it without me knowing the answer to his security question. The question was who was his favorite actor. I got three guesses and they told me they couldn't help me. I would have to bring a copy of the death certificate into an AT&T store. I explained that I didn't have one yet and that I was warned it could take up to two months as death occurred at home and a hospital wasn't involved. I asked if they could note their system that I called so that when I provided a death certificate, they could backdate the cancellation. They told me that would be fine...
Two weeks later I still didn't have a death certificate but I had a few minutes on my lunch break so I went into a store to see if anyone would be reasonable. Hahaha!!! I was told I could NEVER cancel his account without power of attorney. I explained again that he was quite dead and his reanimated corpse would not be able to sign the legal forms for that to happen. When I finally got the death certificate, I went to another AT&T branch (because clearly the first one was staffed by morons). I showed them the death certificate and they said they couldn't help. They couldn't do anything but call the number and they had gone home for the day. I asked if they could keep a copy and call in the morning or take a picture of it. No no no.
So I go back on Monday. They called the same number I did. The guy told the woman on the phone he was looking at the death certificate. He then turns to me and says they can't cancel it unless I can answer the security question on file. I am serious. My head almost exploded. Thankfully, I guessed correctly this time. If anyone had told me I could have called again and guessed, I would have done it daily. Anything to get the cable box and modem out of my car. I asked the guy in the store to ask the person on the phone to backdate the cancellation to when I first called. He refused to even ask them. When I got the final bill, they couldn't take the autopay anymore as I had closed the checking account (specifically to stop them from stealing anymore of my money... so really I didn't need to cancel at all) and sent me a final bill.
I called AGAIN and explained I would not be paying that and they owed me money for continuing to charge me after I had tried to cancel repeatedly. I think I was on the phone for an hour when I got this amazing advice. They could retroactively change the cancellation date if I brought the death certificate into a store. Since no one at AT&T had seen it, they couldn't take my word for it... I nearly blew a gasket and explained vehemently that I had brought the death certificate in twice already and nobody cared. They eventually agreed to waive the bill that was outstanding but I never recovered my money, time, or embarrassment of standing in the AT&T store crying over my dead father while they tried to make this simple transaction as difficult as possible. If you care about your loved ones, do not get their service.

AT&T sucks! I have had to call them every month about invalid or unauthorized charges on my bill. I have been a loyal DirecTV customer for years, but when I moved to Atlanta, GA 5 months ago, I decided to bundle my DirecTV service with AT&T for internet service. Biggest mistake I ever made. Every month there is something wrong with the bill, extra charges that shouldn't be there. I've even been disconnected wrongfully while I had an arrangement with a manager. I have called 3 times in the last week alone. First, I called to get unauthorized charges for premium channels that were canceled months ago and suddenly reappeared without my knowledge. I was also charged a reconnection fee and late fee which should have never been on my bill since I had an email existing arrangement with a manager.
When I asked for a manager I was told that the manager was in a meeting, so the rep had to submit a request to the manager for credit to my account. In the meantime, I paid the part of my bill that I knew I owed. The second time I called to find out if my credits had been applied to my account. They hadn't been. This time the rep sees that I requested the credits and assures me that she will apply them and extend my billing cycle to avoid service interruption while credits take time to post to the account. A few days later I'm getting repeated calls from AT&T to contact them about my account. I call them back and they're telling me I still have a remaining balance to pay. I tell them, "No I don't because my account is to be credited for unauthorized charges." The rep looks at the account and sees the credit, but it hasn't got transferred from DirecTV to AT&T yet.
They also tell me that it will take a while for the system to transfer the credit and make my account current, so they have to further extend my billing cycle to allow time for the credit to transfer and avoid unnecessary service interruption. When AT&T is trying to get a customer, they don't tell you that AT&T and DirecTV don't communicate with each other because they are still 2 separate companies. No wonder my bill is screwed up.
It just doesn't make sense to bundle services provided by 2 separate companies, only to make their customer's lives a living hell from a billing standpoint. They need to either ditch the bundle and send out separate bills or start acting like one business and communicate with each other. If they don't do something, they're going to end up losing good customers. Long story short, I'm so sick of AT&T screwing up my bill. I'm seriously considering leaving them and taking my business elsewhere regardless of termination fees.

As most of you know, the only way to get a decent price for service is to bounce back and forth between AT&T and DTV. Even though they are the same company!!! That is the first lousy thing. Anyway when my DTV bill reached $150 it was time for another visit to the AT&T store. I switched to basic cable and wound up with a bill of $82. More reasonable. Well when I got my next bill it was still at $150, so another trip to the store. I was promised a $100 gift card for the billing error and scheduled to a switch back to AT&T for a 2-year agreement at $60 month. Not bad.
The next day I discovered my Yahoo account had been frozen. That created another avenue of fun. I went online and talked to AT&T chat who said that I would have to personally visit the store to get my acct unlocked. Another trip to the store and oh, did I mention that no change order had been placed for my TV? So back to AT&T for a visit. At one point I had all 8 helpers standing there like brainless idiots with no recollection of my previous visit. After singling out the "manager" I said walking out with no help was not an option. He wound up putting in an order for the $70 U-verse 200 pkg. It seemed the $60 pkg was no longer being offered (shock). But regarding my internet account he could offer nothing. So I contacted chat again. Oh wait, 5 mins after leaving the store with a handwritten order and confirmation number, Haji decides to call from India to inquire about my order, then asks me to hold while he confirms the information!
What an irritating joke! Now, back at home I contact the chat people again. This time I am told that I need to contact the tech line at 877-267-2998. Oh boy! They must enjoy pouring gas on fires as this line is nothing more than an endless string of "offers" from DTV and companies not even related to communications!!! Now I'm pissed! And nowhere to go. As soon as I can find a halfway decent alternate to these arrogant, stupid people I am out of here! Beware!!

I signed up with DirecTV and U-verse internet back in July of 2016. It has been the worst mistake of my life. 1st the agent who set up my service lied about me being under contract for 2 years after I told her that I didn't want to be under contract because I am leasing my home and if I decide to move I don't want to worry about cancellation fees. She assured me that, "It was not a contract but it is to lock in your price for the 2 years." Lie number 2 was when she assured me that they would be able to set up cable in 3 rooms even though I only had 1 TV at the time. Lie 3 was told to me when they offered me a tablet for "free" and come to find out it was a whole lot of extra charges added to my bill as well my bill due date changed without me knowing this would happened.
I have had my service for 10 months now and I have had to call them for 9 of those months because there is always an issue with my bill. DirecTV and AT&T are the worst and they will LIE to you to either get a sale or rush you off the phone. If you are reading this and have the option to choose another cable and internet service PLEASE do so!!!

AT&T service needs of improvement. If there were another option I would jump at it. My internet goes out several times a week and when I call I get if I go through all of the telephone prompts can take about 7 to 8 minutes before finally I get to talk with a person. The person that I have lately been connected with sounds like they are in India and from their responses reading from a notebook with canned responses. Unfortunately all of my issues are apparently not prewritten. I have nothing against people from India but their language skill is limited and frankly would prefer to talk with an American.

AT&T Uverse ** up! AT&T Uverse has done nothing but to steal money from its customer. It teaches the reps to lure the customer to sign the TV and internet bundles with a remand card of $300 and then they will start to add $1000+ charge into your bill and will never take it off. I purchased a TV & internet bundle of 24-bit speed internet with a promise of only billing me $80/a month but it turned out my internet was only 6-bit. After I called their rep and told them this is not what I promised the rep said she will change my internet back to 24-bit for free and my rate will drop down to $69. But my first bill was $350, and my second month's bill is $250, and the third is $100! I called their rep and they said charge was "necessary for plan change."
I can't believe this company is lying to their customer to keep them onboard. And I can't quit my plan because it is the ONLY provider in my area! ATT has given me the worst experience ever, like a nightmare. Don't be a fool and don't trust anything ATT tells you, it is all nothing but a trap!

Everyone knows that when you pay a bill after that bill they are suppose to give you 30 days of service. Well I recently got the internet turned on and by itself it cost $140 for a month because they had to the installation which shouldn't of cost that much for just internet to be installed. Okay so I pay that on April 2... Now not even 3 days later I get a email saying "your AT&T bill is ready to be viewed online" and I'm like what?! I just paid $140 two days ago!! And that bill $40 is due this April 23. So why am I getting charged with again and also not even get a FULL month of service??? And the customer service guy was like "That's because the billing cycle is made up on 23 of every month" which I understand but still! Charging someone $40 in the same month where they just paid $140 is just ridiculous. Plus basically robbing me of a weeks worth of internet that I will not be getting but still have to pay.
I just feel like they could have done a better job at the billing cycle and I'm actually suspicious that this could have been done to "get over" on customers. Like TWC used to do for so long. I feel like this might even be illegal to charge for a whole month of service and the customer doesn't get a whole month. But who hears us? Who can help? I feel like my voice and so many others are drowned and who's really listening.

Here's the gist: we have had Uverse about 5 years, and each year, we renegotiate the contract. This year I decided to terminate, but I agreed to an offer from the "loyalty" dept (Charles) for a bundle of internet, phone, and Uverse for 110.00 monthly. Guaranteed for 12 months. Well, it's 2 months later, I have paid over 600 bucks and I have only Internet. I went on the ATT Community forum, which supposedly helps ATT customers resolve issues. I explained my situation, the rep responded, asked for my account number, etc. And the next day I get an email from the ATT forum saying my email address has been "discontinued ". So, they blocked me from further comments. Sinister... Very bad stuff. Stay away. It's so bad, you cannot believe a company is this corrupt.

AT&T, has the WORST Internet and phone service in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD! Their technicians are not properly trained and disrupt service at least 2-3 times a month when working in my area, then tell me I have to wait 2-3 days to just get an APPOINTMENT to fix what their technicians broke in the first place, and the audacity to tell me I might be charged $99 for the privilege! Then they don't show up within the 4 hour window. They gave me, and tell me someone will call me sometime today with a new ETA? When the technician has been working down the street all day!

That was repeated back to me and confirmed. When I got home several hours later, I had no service. I called and spoke to Adam, who was very nice and as helpful as he could be with the limited authority he had. He also said he could see that the services had been turned off by mistake. I asked that they be turned back on, or at the very least the internet turned back on, I could do without the TV. He went through the process to turn it back on and was told by the technician that they would have to run a credit check again. I told them no since my credit is frozen right now due to me being a victim of identity theft & that I wasn't a new customer so there was no credit check needed.
I had been a customer for 5 years and that obviously I had the credit to get the service. It would also cost me $10.83, to unfreeze my credit for the technician to run it and why do I have to pay money for AT&T to fix THEIR mistake? I then asked to speak to a supervisor because there wasn't anything else Adam could do (which I understood). I told Kafi the situation and she told me it was the law for them to run the credit check for all new customers. To which I replied, yet again, I wasn't a new customer and had been a customer for 5 YEARS, so they don't need to run the credit check for to turn my service back on to fix THEIR mistake.
I just wanted it back on without costing me money and making me have to jump through hoops to do it. She replied "Sorry, no, we need to run the credit check." I said, that as a supervisor and a customer service person she should have at least offered to give me a credit for the money it would cost me to lift the freeze, she replied she would need to run the credit check. That seemed to be her go to answer. I then asked to speak to her boss, which she replied no, because he wasn't in the office. I then asked to speak to another supervisor other than her, she said ok, put me on hold, to which I waited 40 minutes for someone to pick up, which they never did, before I hung up.
I am so very disappointed in U-VERSE's customer service, or really lack there of, and their unwillingness to fix THEIR mistake without costing me time, money, stress, and headaches. I guess I will deal with no internet or tv until the 17th & I will not be recommending U-verse to anyone and am also thinking about leaving AT&T wireless as well, to which I have been a customer for 15 years. This is just so disappointing.

AT&T U-verse and cancellation charge dismissed by AT&T U-verse and then charged. I never received the service they promised. No internet service at all. I was fooled again just for them to sell something that does not work in my area. 4 years ago the same thing happened but they did not charge me because I was not with contract. More than 30 calls and in a single day 5 technicians and a manager came to me house to try solve the problem. They run cables on the attic but the signal was poor. The conclusion is that the box that sends the signal to my house is more than the distance allowed to provide the correct service. They know that! But justified that the salesperson does not. In the sale process I was inform that in my area had already made updates of the signals, which was false. The person who attended me told me that they felt very sorry that they could not provide me the service.
I signed a contract for 2 years, for a service of tv and internet of 18gb, which received very low signals of 2, 4, up to 6gb speed. AT&T would give me a retroactive credit for being paid for an incorrect service, that there will be no charge for cancellation for the previously mentioned and they will send me a refund in two weeks. What I received was the following bill and as I have AT&T Wireless I got confused and I paid. When I realized I called AT&T they told me I did not have to pay. They would give me back that money, about $150.00. I never received that money. What I received In December a check of 97 dollars. I concluded after making several phone calls from August 2016 all the representatives told me that the case is in accounting that I do not worry that I would receive the remaining money. Today I call again and Michel informs me that I will not receive any money that the remaining balance is for the cancellation fee. $256.00

I got my Uverse equipment in the mail. Then the tech shows up to get me set up, and leaves without saying anything so I'm guessing I'm good to go. I hook up my modem and try to connect. It doesn't work so I call customer service. After half an hour of waiting and being transferred 3 different times I finally reach someone who will hear my problem. They tell me that the tech messed up my cables and another tech will have to be scheduled to fix it. They tell me they can send one the next week. I tell them I want to cancel my service. They cancel it for me but won't give me my 100$ I paid already for a service I am unable to use. I basically paid 100$ for them to come mess up my phone cables. None of the phone jacks in my house work now. Thank you so much AT&T. Thank you.

I was considering AT&T for cable and internet and was assured by the rep on the phone that they would not pull a hard inquiry and I told him specifically that I would not authorize a hard inquiry. Well, they pulled a hard inquiry and I have spent hours on the phone with AT&T and they refuse to remove the inquiry. I was passed around from department to department and wound up with an exceptionally rude woman who insisted that I authorized the credit check and refused to remove it. I don't even have your services, the least you could do after LYING to me about running a hard inquiry is to REMOVE IT.

Well first I called just to get internet to start doing school work at home so I'm home with my baby more. The girl sold me on 20 dollars more a month if I wanted cable as well. So total 60 dollars. I said "I'm sure you sold me." My total is now 146 a month. 40 for internet which is all I wanted in the first place and 96 freaking dollars for something I didn't want! I tried calling 10 days later after installation to cancel just the TV portion because I was told 60 dollars total not 146.
But AT&T has merged with DIRECTV. You would think since a company bought out another they would have the same cancellation fees and other type of plans as such. No AT&T has a 30 day gap where you can cancel but if I want to cancel DIRECTV it's 480 dollars for a buyout. You can't cancel after 24 hours after purchasing. I wonder why that is? I'll tell you why because they are scammers. Now I'm stuck with a 2 year contract I can't do anything about and probably can't afford and my credit will get ** now. Great. Thanks a lot AT&T.

I have complained on several occasions about disrupted service that's almost predictable to occur between 5 and 7 PM each day. The only response I have gotten was, "Oh, that's the time everyone gets home and gets on the internet." This is absolutely no excuse. I never had this problem when I had Cable. I am quite disappointed and would like to go back to Cable, but the problem of having to change my email address on all my accounts keeps me kind of "locked in" to AT&T. I would advise anyone to not sign on to AT&T internet service, unless it was absolutely the only option.

My husband called to discuss our options to lower our monthly bill (that is $330 a month). He was told to do that we needed to change over to DISH Network! So we agreed. The day came for them to install the dish and come to find out they couldn't due to trees. So now we discover they can reduce our bill with the old service... Great we were told the service would be turned on in a few hours that was 5 days ago!! The issue is not that I am without cable, but that I work from home and depend on my internet service!!! I assume you want to be paid and in order for that to happen I need to be able to work!
We keep calling and getting one excuse after another... "Ohh we will be there tomorrow" and then Sunday and then "Ohhh we're sorry one system said it was completed and another said canceled..."

We have had nothing but trouble since we got the service. We first got DirecTV and then we got AT&T internet. Been trying to bundle these two is like pulling teeth. Both the services are the same company and you have to call two different services to try to do anything. Each pole takes approximately 1 hour and you still can't get anything done. Not professional. Customer service is not professional can absolute disaster. I would not recommend any services from AT&T to anyone.

I have been a faithful customer of AT&T with both wireless and Uverse services. AT&T is making their Uverse customers go to DirecTV since their acquisition of the service. I fought going to DirecTV for quite some time but gave in and attempted to obtain the service. I called and set up an installation date. Now, at the time of them selling me the DirecTV package they offered me a $200 reward card for starting a new service. However, once the technician arrived for installation he found that I didn't have a direct line of sight and couldn't go further. He called AT&T and was able to work some things out for me to keep Uverse (which is exponentially better than direct television) without an increase in the price. Now, through his negotiations with the sales department he found that I had been overpaying as I was listed to have two land lines (only had one) and 54mbps of internet (only had 24mbps) since the beginning of my service (3 years).
For not having a direct line of sight they said that I could still receive the $200 reward card as well as they would send me a $300 reward card for a total of $500 as compensation for the overpayment. I agreed knowing that it would be a while before I received the cards. So, three weeks pass and I heard nothing, no email, no letter in the mail, no reward cards. I called twice to just get an update on the status of the cards. In the first call I got transferred so many times my head spun! Inevitably, I was transferred to the point that I was disconnected after their departments closed. So, I take a day to cool down because I had become frustrated with how my called was handled.
Two days later I call again and this time I was able to speak with someone. I tell them the backstory and what was promised to me as a verbal contract with one of their representatives. They keep me on hold for an extremely long time while researching the matter. After this representative completes her research of the matter she offers me a $200 reward card. The representative stated that they could only offer me $200 because there is a limit to amounts that could be sent out and offered to give me the remaining $100 in a credit to my account. Typically, I would have taken such an offer; however, I was knowledgeable to the fact that AT&T has offered $300 reward cards no issue to others. I just couldn't understand what was different in my case, given it wasn't my fault regarding the lack of a direct line of sight nor was it my fault that the company added services that I DID NOT ACTUALLY receive.
Now, I am a very docile person and would rather avoid conflict in any situation; however, given the irritation from the first call and now the reluctance of wanting to give me the $300 compensation for paying for services THE COMPANY CHOSE to add took me to a place that was very unhappy. I asked specifically why couldn't I be given the $300 reward card given my knowledge of previous instances. I was never given a reason! This is when the back and forth of department transfer happened AGAIN until it was after their closing hour and I got disconnected.
Needless to say I am not a happy customer and AT&T will be soon losing a customer because of the poor treatment I received. I have never been treated so poorly! In one transfer, one of the representatives said "nope not doing it" and transferred before I could really even tell him why I was calling. Up until this point I had no issues with AT&T; however, when I found out about their wrongdoing and began to call them out on it is when things changed. I am greatly disappointed!

Oh and their speed test on the AT&T website tells me it's running at 15 mbps all the time. Every other speed test on the internet tells me the actual speed of less than 1 mbps. If it was running at 15 I would be able to stream a video without letting it load for a couple minutes. I keep calling and nothing changes. So not worth the money.

My family has been a loyal customer to Directv for over a decade. When they were acquired by AT&T, it occurred at about the same time that Clear, what was our Internet provider for many years went out of business. Knowing that we were going to be switching to AT&T for DirecTV service, and we also now needed a home phone and Internet service, my family decided to move our cell phone service from Sprint to AT&T to take advantage of the package they offered where everything would be included for one price. We jumped at this deal, because it meant instead of having three separate invoices we would have one and the price point we were offered was competitive with what the previous three invoices were on a monthly basis. Well, now we get to the service and were paying $550+ a month thinking that is covering everything (our prior cost for all services was about $600 a month) when in fact that was only covering the cell phones.
Then we get notices from AT&T saying that our Directv service is being suspended because we hadn't paid the bill, so we pay the bill to restore it again thinking that between the first phone bill and DirecTV bill which were now caught up and we were fine. So now we have two separate bills in this "bundled" package. Imagine our surprise when our internet and home phone get turned off and we are told we owe money for THAT bill as well. What is the point of offering a "bundled" package when every service is billed separately at the normal ala carte price? If you have the opportunity to go with another carrier than AT&T, don't walk, run to it. AT&T is nothing but a scam.

I called Uverse today to ask them to cancel my service. They asked why and I explained that I was moving and Uverse wasn't available in my new location. I also expressed overall dissatisfaction with the service. The AT&T representative promised to give me a great deal on Directv and convinced me to sign up for the service. I asked that my Uverse be disconnected on March 31st... A week from the day I called. I work from home so having wi-fi is critical. As soon as I hung up and went to go online, I noticed that my service was disconnected. I called Uverse to rectify the situation. They told me they couldn't override the cancellation in the system. I explained that I worked from home and absolutely needed the service to be able to operate. They didn't budge. Of course, they were quick to sign me up for a new service.
I asked, therefore, to cancel the Directv service, not wanting to do business with a company that can't figure out how to correct a significant mistake. I was passed around to five people. Finally, I was told that they could not disconnect the service. Come to find out, the service was registered under another name; a former partner. I was told it would "be fraudulent to disconnect the Directv service I had just signed up for unless speaking with the account owner." I asked if it would then be fraudulent that they set up the service since I was the one who set it up, not my partner. They said "yes," but insisted they couldn't do anything about it.
It's amazing to me that I could be sold on a new service and set up within minutes, while it's taken me a full day to try to simply cancel the service; one that apparently is fraudulent when trying to cancel but completely legal when it's a matter of new revenue. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Shackling your customers is not a way to win loyalty.

I spoke with someone in the Charlotte, NC office and was told the only way I could get my deposit (that was now referred to a fee again) back was in $5 per month credits to my bill. After explaining to her that I have two transcripts from chats with AT&T Representatives stating that I would receive my money back she told me it was not possible. I explained that legal fees alone with surpassed this amount if we had to go to court over the issue. At that point I was informed that they have a legal team that will take care of it if it comes down to that. I ended my conversation with her, calmed down and called back to cancel my account anyway.
Without even being asked to retain my deposit the person I spoke to this time immediately told me that I would receive a check in the amount I was owed. It's a shame that a business would treat a loyal customer the way I was treated. I would suggest to anyone ordering AT&T services to get anything promise to you in writing before allowing them to connect services at your residence or business. I will never use their television or Internet services again.

The issue began when I had services with DirecTV in August 2016. I have never had a problem with my internet and TV services with DirecTV. When we moved (Across the street) we were told that we had we would no incurred any moving charges. That was a lie, we incurred moving charges. I called to inquire about the removal of these moving charges. They promised $100.00 off or $60.00 off my next bill. They never got a bill correct. I was billed for Satellite set-up and install. They never set up anything but turned on a switch. I also was billed for premium channels that I never requested/ordered. The only thing I ever ordered from DirecTV was a movie ($5.99) never a premium channel. My monthly bill went from $89.00 a month to $140.00 a month. I explained to them that I was not paying that because I never had all those services on my account.
I promptly told by customer service that I had 2 account numbers (AT&T-Internet) and TV (DirecTV). So, I had to call two different companies for any billing services. Every time I called to fix my account, I was promised and transferred and transferred and then told, call DirecTV for my TV services and AT&T for my internet. There was never a consistency with the customer service. After 4 months of lousy service, I cancelled my service. I agreed to pay the early termination fee on January 25, 2107. I was told to return all equipment before February 15, 2017. I returned the equipment on Jan 31 at the nearest UPS store.
On March 10, they decided to go into my account and withdraw $673.38 (above and beyond the termination fee). They said I never returned the equipment to them and they billed me for it. To add to the mix, AT&T also continues to bill me for services that were disconnected on January 25. I got a bill for $125.83 (restore charge, past due and convenience fee) for a disconnected service. I called to inquire about this bill that was due March 5, but I have to call Monday- Friday during business hours only.
After a weekend of persistent detective work, I called the AT&T offices and complained about the abrupt debit of money from my account. I was told that the equipment was returned and AT&T had it since February and never advised the other departments (DirecTV) that they did receive the equipment. When I asked if I could speak to a supervisor, the representative said, "My supervisor REFUSES to speak to you about this matter." I was so angry but remained calm. After 3 hours on the phone and finally spoke to a supervisor/manager. DirecTV/AT&T said that they will refund me $180.00 in the next 30-60 days. It took less than 24 hours to debit my account (without permission) $673.38 but 2 months to return my money. I will never ever have service with AT&T or any of their affiliates. Their service is horrible, the customer service is deplorable and rude. I will never recommend them for anything to anyone.

We called two weeks ago while we were moving to our new house to begin the process to transfer service. The representative was like "oh since you're going to this area here we can offer you Directv and faster internet for the same price". Also she said they could go in 3 days which would have been our first official day at our new house which was cool. We got excited. That morning we got everything ready and they never showed up. Instead, we got a bill that morning for $120 increase and a schedule service day for 7 days from that day (yesterday).
Anyways we were ok with them coming a week late and we just cancelled DIRECTV because the price fraud. So yesterday the dude shows up at 9:30 am. We tell him where we want the service blah blah and he gets to work. Then he tells us "umm, I'm gonna have to drill a hole in the wall to pass the wires." So we said "ok this guy is a professional go for it." Keep in mind this is our brand new house and this guy ** up our wall. Then we go out front to see how it's going outside with the wires and this dude wants to leave a long ass white wire hanging from the front of our house.
So my husband says "no, please tuck away that wire. This looks horrible." And he says, "oh well then you should get this wireless box for $10 more a month and we don't have to put up this wire." So we said "ok why the hell didn't you offer us this to begin with?". And then he decides to go to lunch. We couldn't go anywhere and it was a total 5 hour job for all that. He was so lazy, fat, had no manners, and horrible customer service! I wish AT&T could hire better workers that actually look and take their time and offer all the options before making unnecessary holes in our wall??? Worst experience ever!

I owed my U-verse bill, in fact it was time for my account to bill again. I contacted them on Tuesday March 7, 2017 on their website using their "live chat feature". I spoke with Kristen at approx 5 pm. I verified the amount of my bill which was $559!! I asked if it would be okay to pay that in full the following business day. She said that it would and said she would make a note of our arrangements on my account. (I worked in Customer Service for 2 Large companies and I know to get the name, date and time of the person you spoke with.)
The following morning I was up early working online when POOF my internet was gone and a window came up stating to contact them IMMEDIATELY regarding my bill. I was able to get to their website and again used the chat feature. I was told there were no arrangements on my account. I gave the name, date and time of the person I spoke to and they said, no, there are none. They said given that it is cut they would not restore it until it was paid, which I intended to do later that day anyway. The bill was paid at 11:30 am and it is now exactly 11:30 PM and I have no service. For the second time today I called, and the man told me he showed a $0 balance yet my account still seems to be "suspended". He tells me to reboot my modem and that brings up my internet. I still have no t.v. He said it will be several more hours before that is back on, that the tv folks and the internet folks aren't "in sync". I am so furious!
Firstly, I made payment arrangements for a ridiculous amount of money to be paid IN FULL the FOLLOWING DAY and they did not honor it. That rep dropped the ball. A manager even called me and said how they value me as a customer. Puhlleese. I am not saying I did not incur the bill or owe the bill, but I had made arrangements to pay it the very next day and they cut me at 6:37 AM. And now, after waiting 12 hours to do any work, I still have no tv. I can say I would, at the very least have been written up for this at my previous Customer Service jobs, if not fired. Yet there is not a thing I can do since no one there has any record of my "chat session". I think *I* need to put a recorder on MY phone to protect ME for "quality assurance".

AT&T may have merged with other companies to increase their services and bundle their services. However, the mergers are not seamless to customers and cause a lot of aggravation in terms of billing and payment issues. I had a package for DirecTV + Internet. Although these 2 services are both under the AT&T Umbrella, they behave as separate companies. For any issues, we need to connect to either DirecTV or AT&T Internet companies. Although, there is a common account, information to the common account does not guarantee that updates are made to individual services. It's like the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. When we cancelled our services, we had to cancel separately with AT&T Internet and DirecTV. The final bills had to be sent to different addresses. DirecTV charges you a hefty fee of $20 for every month of cancellation on your contract.
Here is the best part. We cancelled our services as we have moved to a new address. We called DirecTV twice to request that they send our final bill and the boxes for returning equipment to our new address as we were obviously no longer at the old address as of the date of cancellation. Well, DirecTV still went ahead and sent the equipment return boxes to the old address. Also, they do not remove the dish used for DirecTV. We had to remove it ourselves and recycle the dish. I will commend the representatives over the phone for being patient with customers in handling the mistakes made by their parent company with the mergers.

On Wednesday March 1st I placed an order to increase my Internet speed to 45 MBPS. The service person indicated the new speed would take effect immediately. Upon hanging up I lost internet and TV for two full days until a new modem could be installed. In the last 5 days I have had 3 service technician visits talked to nine service reps or tech support people and I was just told by a Technician that my area cannot get 45 MBPS service. My plan is charging me for 45 MBPS and I have 18.
On Sunday 3-5-17 I used the chat feature to request an adjustment for the service never delivered. The conversation essentially told me that they were going to provide a service but not charge me. This defies all reason and begs the question how come all the people on Thursday, Friday and Saturday were working so hard to deliver my higher internet speed and restore TV and internet when my area could never get this service? I have wasted hours on the phone and chats, been without service, reconfigured favorites, lost a library of recorded shows, planned my day around AT&T visits and received conflicting price quotes and one inexplicable bill summary by email. Conflicting information has been provided at every turn and no one seems to know what they are doing; but they are all polite and thank me for patiently waiting (God I hate that phrase).
In the heart of AT&T country Dallas/Collin County I can only get 18 mbps. That's like the Stone Age? I've got a 3 year old grandson who wants to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse without constant reloading every 10 seconds. That's what started this adventure; just make a simple call and get higher speed. Shouldn't be so hard. Shouldn't take over my life for 5 days. Shameful.

Early in December of 2016 I made the decision to switch from TWC to U-verse for business to lower my costs for doing business. The U-verse sales rep offered 6 phone lines with 45/5Mbps speed on the internet for half what I was paying for my current service. The service was supposed to be installed on January 9 but the business office ported incorrect numbers and the installation could not be completed. The third time they came to complete the installation was Feb 1st, 2017 and since then our phone lines have not worked.
Callers are getting a busy signal, or getting an "all circuits busy" message or the phone just rings and rings (but doesn't ring in the office). If a caller is lucky enough to get through the quality of the line is terrible with callers hearing a terrible echo and/or terrible static. 7 technicians have been out to attempt to repair the problems and the equipment has been changed several times but the service still does not work. The last technician who came out today (Feb 17) advised me to split our service to "old fashioned" landlines for the phone service and U-verse for the internet. He said that they have never been able to make the U-verse system work for businesses with any more than 2 phone lines. The problem is endemic to the equipment.
At this point we have ordered landlines but we do not yet have an installation date. So we have been left with a system that doesn't work with no end in sight. My business has been significantly affected with a severe loss of business. I will lodge a complaint with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. DO NOT SWITCH TO U-VERSE FOR BUSINESS.

Worst customer service experience in my 42 years. My Uverse began to have intermittent disruptions weeks about 4 weeks ago. I took off of work to be at home for 4 hours since it is not possible for AT&T to give you a exact appointment time. The tech arrived and was very nice. He said he found the issue and that our phone, internet and cable should be fine now. We began having the same issue again within a day or two. Our entire home had no communications (phone, internet, or cable) for over 24 hours. I called back and went through the 40 minutes of automated operators and remote testing that ATT requires prior to setting up a tech visit. The gentleman told me it would take 10 minutes and that he would call me back immediately. He never called back so I called them back.
I of course got a different customer service rep. I explained that I spent over an hour on a call earlier in the day and that I just needed to know when the tech was coming out. She proceeded to tell me that I spoke with a "robot" earlier and this was must first interaction with a "human" operator. I kindly disagreed with her and she again told me that this is the first that ATT had heard from me. She had no record of the tech's visit from last week or any of my previous phone calls. I became beyond frustrated after being on the phone for so long to only have someone accuse me of lying. She went through the protocol of unplugging the router with me for the third time and sending the software update for the second time only to find out that I needed a tech visit. She spoke over me and sarcastically laughed at my frustration.
Oddly enough the "robot" she insisted that I spoke with called me back two hours later to see if my internet, phone and cable has somehow miraculously come back on. He sounded so human, weird... We will have gone without any of ATT services for 2 days before another tech arrives, yet she could not guarantee me the first visit of the day, so I will take off work again to accommodate your inability to manage the logistics of service calls. She was polite enough to remind that the service call will be $99.00 if it is found to be my fault that their service doesn't work.
I will be selling my ATT stock and publicly proclaiming this experience in hopes that no one will ever experience this for themselves. I had paid ATT over 5K for two years of service and this is their imprecation. BY the way, I called to cancel and no one ever asked about my experience. Once they found out the cancellation was customer service oriented and not pricing, they basically lost interest. Goodbye and congratulations in advance for your ascension back to number one on the poorest customer service list. To show how upsetting the calls were last night, I have never typed a review in my life.

After disrupting just about every service in our neighborhood (we have no utility poles - everything is underground, and AT&T recently managed to again slice just about everything during an "upgrade"), the mighty AT&T was not content with merely sending piles of daily "U-Verse" promotional trash via snail mail. Over the past few weeks there have been hordes of ever present, aggressive and relentless sales people lurking about. Last evening just before 8 PM, two of them banged on our door - note that I start work at 6 AM and am usually here well before that. The pair was nearly "escorted" off my property. The short story is that if this should happen again, the Police will be called and charges will be filed.
None of this would be nearly so bad had I EVER - I repeat EVER been able to count on ANY reliable services from AT&T, be it landline, Internet, or TV, and now I am being hounded to pay a pantload more for another "new and improved" service. I have also received precisely zero substantive answers to why my bill has steadily increased over the years for seemingly dwindling service levels. Then again, it has only been THIRTY THREE YEARS of this. My personal "favorite" was a period of SIX YEARS when my Internet worked exactly NEVER during heavy rain. A personal letter to the Dallas home of Randall Stephenson at long last did the trick on that one. The list goes on. ENOUGH!

I am very frustrated with my bill from internet and home phone service. The price is way too high. It seems that every month my bill jumps up $10 more. When I call customer service, I am told that they have no other specials to lower my bill. I get frustrated that I can't get a lower price when my service is not working to the max it should. I had someone from outside come and measure the internet speed just to discover that the speed is way low, meaning that I'm not getting what I'm paying.
The phone service price is too much. I can take their offer of lowering the price on the phone service, but it has a limit of some minutes per month of usage. I don't mind that since I don't really use my home phone service, but still I think it's too much money for a limited service. I have been with AT&T since it was Pacific Bell. One would think that you are a loyal customer after so many years of service with them, but it doesn't work that way. Something needs to be done to stop this nonsense of ripping people off with their poor service and high price tag. For now, I just paid my bill of over $90 just for phone and internet. I am looking for other options now. I refuse to just throw my money away in a company that really does not take care of their "loyal" customers. Time for a change.

After hours and hours of calls, month after month, I am still receiving monthly $200+ bills. In frustration, I reduced service in September due to the fact that they couldn't get the billing correct after 2 months of calling. I then cancelled completely in December to avoid any more overcharge. I just got a bill for Feb-Mar services. This is after figuring out how to get it escalated to the Office of the President (which I did through my local city Assistant Manager). They have on 2 occasions adjusted the account to $0, but cannot figure out how to terminate the account. They never answer the phone number they provided, and are slow to return calls.
I have never been so frustrated with a company in my life. To the point where I will make sure to express warning to my friends, family, neighbors, and anyone else who it may come up with. This has been very time-consuming and stressful for months. I have a busy life (work, family, school, activities), but what if I was dealing with illness or loss of a family member? Can you imagine dealing with all that and this nonsense on top of that? That's what really upsets me. I can't be the only one.

I was recommended by DirecTV for home internet. On January 3rd I spoke to a representative that stated that they could help me with home WiFi. I received a mobile hotspot within the next three days. To my surprise it was a little box with only five gigs. After about 2 hours I decided to return the item to get a refund. I called numerous times and they stated that I would get my refund of $55 within 2 weeks. It has been over a month and I only received $8.73. They stated that they have a restocking fee a $45. Then I called 3 times and spoke to three different Representatives that stated I was going to get my money back within 3 weeks. I contact them to see why it was taking so long and they stated that they could only give me the $8.73 back. Then they tell me that I have a bill of $120 for services that I did not use.
I have contacted the Better Business Bureau and I'm going to seek a lawyer or go to a small claims court to receive the hundred and $170 back that this company has stolen from me. They are the worst at customer service. Do not care of stealing people's money. They are greedy and want to charge for every single thing that they can charge for. I have never been so disappointed in my life. AT&T is the worst company that has ever been created. I am looking forward to seeing you guys at Court.

Three strikes for AT&T, they're out..! I've been a long-term AT&T, Pac Bell, SBC, etc... customer with my 13 different businesses and personal home services over the years and while I thought they were making progress towards getting their service act together, I am wrong... I ordered a bundle of 3 services on-line including, home phone, high-speed broadband and also DirecTV services last month.
After an initial contact from AT&T, apologizing because they could not offer us home telephone services as part of a bundle (..? we have AT&T home phone and older DSL services currently???) they've now called (automated calls at 7 am) to confirm our scheduled appointment today for the installation of the new Uverse-Broadband service, and also DirecTV, as a bundle for a reduced price, I got a call this morning (about a half hour after they'd again confirmed the appointment by automated call) and told me they were sorry, they do not offer Uverse services in my area... WHAT???
They'd scheduled the installation out over a month after I'd contracted with them for this bundle, so they had plenty of time to confirm all of this in-house... So there went the "Bundled" pricing, and the separate service cost bumped up about 20% immediately. Then after working on our simple installation for several hours, the technician told me he's have to charge me $100 for an additional part to hook up our DirecTV system to the 2 TV's we'd contracted for. I talked to a supervisor and they said, "I'm sorry but we will have to charge you this additional amount to hook up your system... Pretty crazy as my monthly subscription would have covered that amount in the first month or so... on a 2-year commitment.

Poor consumer service. Been with AT&T for over a decade, but customer service has gone extremely downhill. Most recent example - I have been without internet, cable, or home phone for 5 days and counting. When I called customer service on the first day of the outage (Thursday), I was connected with AT&T's call center in the Philippines (Important recommendation! Must directly ask to speak with someone in the U.S.). Very difficult to understand rep through her accent.
After re-doing all the troubleshooting steps I had already done, she sends out a new modem (that I did not need but had to wait 2 days to receive). 2 days later when it arrives and does not solve the problem, a technician is sent out (Saturday). He determines that the outage is due to an isolated network error, but as it is the weekend, it cannot be resolved until Monday (2 more days). AT&T cannot give me an appointment time on Monday, but I am expected to leave work at a moment's notice once I receive their text (What!?!).
In the meantime, looking at a minimum of 5 days without services (averaging ME $9.83/day = $49.16 to date) but AT&T will only credit me $5/day (I received a $20 credit on my bill, and have to eat the other $29.16) AND YOU ONLY RECEIVE THE CREDIT IF YOU KNOW TO ASK. Called AT&T on Sunday to get an estimated appointment time, but the customer service rep told me their systems were down, and when I asked to speak with someone in the United States, I was told the American Representative refused to speak with me as there was nothing they could do, either. I did not accept the refusal and was transferred to an American Representative, Bart, who stated he could do nothing as AT&T's systems were down, "and they do not even supply me with a paper and pen" so he could write down my request for a call back once their systems were back online.
Cannot get installation of Xfinity for 2 weeks (must be demand by all the AT&T customers switching over). In the meantime, I do not recommend AT&T Uverse, as customer service is very disappointing, equipment is not reliable, and I am stuck with paying for service I am not receiving. Avoid AT&T. You will be glad you did.

I cancelled my account with AT&T some time in February 2016. Returned the equipment on October 31st, 2016. I have the receipt with the serial numbers of the equipment on it. They sent my account to the collection agency in November. They said they never received the equipment after calling today, February 10th, 2017. My credit score was knocked down over 100 points for this back in November. This all happened while getting approved for a house loan and it really messed up the whole process and caused me hours and hours of phone calls and a lot of running around. Over the life of my house loan, it caused my rate to go up and will cost me over $13,000.
I told the supervisor on the phone I have a receipt that shows that the equipment was sent to the UPS store with the date, time, location, and even the serial numbers of all the equipment was documented on the receipt, and I also told them about the house loan and what it is affecting in my personal life. 100% proof it was returned and they would do NOTHING for me. After a customer drops the equipment off, they should not be responsible if the equipment is lost, sent to the wrong place, or actually gets scanned in at their AT&T equipment warehouse. That is between AT&T and the UPS store.
After speaking with at least 2 separate supervisors, more than 2 separate times on the phone in December I told them all of this information. They would not accept a receipt with 100% proof that the equipment was returned by me. Now 3 1/2 months after I returned the equipment, they still are saying I owe for the equipment and it was never returned. I am now seeking every possible way to remedy this, since my credit is completely affected, and it is causing me so much stress and many problems with day-to-day life. I am going to get legal advice regarding this ASAP. This is not fair. I want the world to know what they have put me through. I cannot believe a company that has been in business over 100 years feels they can treat people like this. It is not right. It is not fair. This is their last chance to correct this huge complaint or I will be taking the next step at getting this resolved legally and fair.

Good, reliable service, but took them forever to make fast plans. I have been an AT&T Uverse customer for a few years now. Until October 13, 2016, I was stuck with their "Basic" 768kbps speed. How frustrating. And even though it was slow, it never went out even once and has been very good with the exception of the speed. Can easily watch a 480p video if I'm the only one online. Even during thanksgiving and Christmas when my whole family, 30+ people come to my house and get connected, it still never crashed. It took an hour for stuff to load, but it worked. Very frustrating to say the least. But I have since upgraded to the "Max" 12mbps plan and it works for what I need it for. Only gave gen 2 stars due to the speed issue. My neighbor could get up to 24mbps, and I can only get 768? What? But I'm happy now.

My wife called in December of 2015 for internet. We had Comcast before and never had a problem. We did not need TV but my wife said we should get it, because after taxes and fees our bill would be around $68 dollars a month with both TV and internet. I said we should not do it because the bill would change later. The rep promise the bill would never change and we had him repeat it on the phone twice that the bill would never change, and we have had the conversation confirmed by AT&T.
The bill was never right and every time I called they wanted to give me the current months promotion, which was the most frustrating thing I had ever dealt with. Trying to explain why I was calling and what we were told about our bill. At&t would just keep trying to give me promotions every time I called. I tried and tried to explain that I didnt want the current promotion. I wanted the price I was told I was getting. After calling and calling and calling. They got my bill down to $48 a month and I had that bill for eight months. I was not happy that my bill was $48 a month. I wanted it to be $68 a month and now the bill is $110 and I can forget about trying to explain that the bill was supposed to be $68 a month.

Resolution is to prepay and the problem according to AT&T Uverse customer support is our postal service.

I have 4 wireless devices through AT&T so I deemed myself a loyal customer. Several years ago we has AT&T internet installed in our home and it had been inconsistent as best. We decided to give them another shot and opted to purchase a internet/direct TV bundle. BIG MISTAKE. We had the service installed on Jan 24 and it hasn't worked since. I have live chatted with over half a dozen agents, had live conversations with about the same amount, and had 2 technicians out at our home - mind you, I had to take 2 days off of work to accommodate THEIR schedule. I had ANOTHER appointment set for today to have them resolve the issue and thought it odd that I never received a confirmation regarding the appointment. So I called, only to find out that there was NO ticket for a technician to come to our house!!!
So I called customer service, yet again. After speaking to 2 people I was routed to a Uverse "Special team" and said that they would make my case a high priority since I had been diligent about getting the problem resolved and it was all in my file. So it only takes 12 interactions with agents and 2 house calls to be taken seriously?!? All this time, I am paying for a service that I am actually not receiving...and here's the kicker, I am contractually bound so I can't leave without paying for it. Hell of a business strategy! So since the contact is signed, it doesn't really matter if the service works or not. After all the outreaches, not one agent offered anything other than an apology. Not one agent/supervisor has helped me to trust the brand again or make this headache any less than acceptable.

As with most cable companies, one must be careful in dealings with sales reps... there is a tendency to misrepresent what the service will included... ie, what is promised (cost and features) too often ends up not being what you get. When you complain, they often try to tell you that you can get what they mistakenly promised in an upgraded service... for more money of course. AT&T U-verse did this to me and they are known for doing this. I'm surprised that State Attorney Generals are not pursuing what certainly appears to rise to the level of bait and switch.

We have been using AT&T for long time - 8 years and so far we were ok with the service until the moment that we decided to lower our UVERSE 300 bill. We spoke with a lady called "Victoria" and she couldn't deal to lower our bill. However, she offered a promotion for DirecTV with 24 months very similar package as the Uverse 300 (1st lie). She also mentioned that she was going to keep open our Uverse for a week until we were sure with the new cable (2nd lie in the story). We felt happy because if the DirecTV wasn't good we were going to have at least the backup with the Uverse.
In the instant that the DirecTV was installed, we verified the channels and nothing was as we expected: all of them were Latino (we don't watch TV Latino and she knew that in advance), small quantity of high definition channels (we explained very well our expectation with the high definition service); the channels that she told us that were going to be included in the package, magically it wasn't. A total disaster... In the same moment that the technician was finishing the new installation, we called the AT&T to cancel the DirecTV and get back our Uverse service. And the second part of the story is starting now.
We spoke with our second customer service "MATEO", who was very friendly, very understanding with our situation. He assures us that we were going to get back the Uverse service immediately, the only thing that we needed to know is that a technician needs to pass by to check that the signal is OK and the earliest appointment that he has was on Feb. 25. My husband asked how long was going to take for the technician to check the signal and he answered around two hours because it was only to check the signal. We were happy, everything was perfect, we removed the DirecTV boxes and put it back our Uverse boxes. It was working perfectly. We were happy...
Until the next day in the afternoon, preparing to enjoy the super bowl, we discovered the status "zero service". We called fast again Technical support and after a while on the phone with some guys, they clearly explained us what we needed was to call next day AGAIN to customer service-SALE, to resolve the problem. We called next day, and then another surprise, the famous appointment for checking the lines on Feb. 25 was exactly to use for the reinstate of the service. In summary we don't have the cable, we are very upset and angry, we felt played by the AT&T with their lies. I broke my ties with the cable service and we are going to start looking for another reliable company. Suggestion: don't believe what the customer service said, even that you are feeling very comfortable, they are made for selling you their promotions without care.

I cannot believe how careless and inconsiderate your representatives are. I am a rep myself for a different service and I would not be surprised if ANYONE has ever been helped by your "support". Your representatives have no clue what they can and cannot do and the service is the utmost poor service I think I have ever received in my life. You need to rethink your staff. I spent over an hour on the phone with a customer and 6 of your different staff members whose first suggestion was to keep transferring us to the SAME department over and over again. I even asked for a rep to explain our concerns before transferring us and what did she do? Blind transferred our call. Poor, terrible, unreliable service.

I was a 20+ year AT&T customer. We wanted unlimited data and a new phone so we let them "sell" us on DirecTV bundle. Huge mistake. Store (Redmond WA corporate headquarters store) managers only goal is to make a sale. The process reminded me of a Mexican Timeshare sales pitch. They go back in "the back" leaving you sitting out in the store for 15-20 minutes. After a month of trying to get DirecTV set up in our home a senior tech told us that it wouldn't work in our house because there wasn't a central box where all the cables connect (most houses built before 2000 don't have this). Salespeople don't mention this because they are only interested in getting you signed up.
After spending days (literally) on the phone with customer service and in the store with managers (who were no help) I gave up and returned the new phones we got with the deal. I just received a bill for $1700 charging me for phones (never used) I returned. Back to the store to ask Pete and Andrew the 20 something managers to credit my bill (they gave me a receipt when I returned them). Pete's response was that I'd have to wait for the Escalation Dept to look into my case. He couldn't help me even though I returned the phones to him. My advice is go to Sprint!!! The experience has been so easy and the staff is really helpful.

Last year I contacted AT&T to find out if I could reduce my U-verse bill and was told there were reduced services I was eligible for. I told the Customer Service rep at least 5 times I did not want to be under a contract! Once I signed up and accepted the offer, of course there was an annual contract when I received the email update. No use talking to AT&T because no matter how much I call and complain, I still need to pay a termination fee to get out of this contract. So I settled for less services for a reduced rate, but I am still under contract.
One good thing is the contract will not be extended, I think! As soon as the contract is over, I am leaving AT&T for good! I do not like to be lied to! Their customer service while may be friendly are deceiving and cannot be trusted. I attempt every couple of months to get to someone that may be able to do something about this, but no luck. It is a shame that this company allows this type of behavior at its customers' expense! AT&T has lost the trust of a 15+ year customer and I don't really think they care!

I honestly don't know where to begin. I had AT&T some years back and I remembered why I left them upon deciding to try them again. I had called and worked out a package with the agent. He had done the credit check (which was perfectly fine), prepared the order, and the installation date for two days later. I call back some hours later because I had a few additional questions. No one could find my information and I was transferred multiple times (hung up on several occasions). I finally speak to a supervisor and they said my order was never processed after digging deeper. He then tried to set me up again and for an installation, but for several weeks later. I then told him to not to process the order. Jump to a week later. I get a call from a tech saying he was en route to set up my order. Ridiculous setup.

If I could rate my service with AT&T no stars I would. I do NOT recommend their internet services whatsoever!! When I first called them, the deal was 35 a month for internet. That's it, so I agreed. It took them 3 weeks to figure out how to turn on our internet. When we were finally connected everything was great. Then I get my first bill...80 bucks. Okay it's prorated so we paid the 80 bucks. We get a letter in the mail a week later saying our internet will be shut off because we haven't paid our bill. I call them, to find out they have created TWO accounts in my name, and charging me double. They said "We'll transfer this over to your account that has activity on it." After about a 3 hour phone call all seems to be okay.
Three days later, our internet gets shut off. My fiance calls AT&T and they tell him it has not been shut off, it was our router, had him do all sorts of unplugging and turning things off to get it to work again...We get our bill and it's noted under the service DISCONNECTED ON SEPTEMBER 13th. It took them TWO months and multiple hour phone calls daily to figure out how to transfer that 80 dollars over to our "real account" which my last name is COMPLETELY different than my real last name, that I have asked them to fix for 6 months. We finally get all that resolved and my bill for December comes in at 169$. Now to remind you, I have INTERNET that's it. NO cable, NO phones, nothing besides internet with OUR OWN ROUTER.
I call them yet again to discuss my outrageous bill. They said "Oh well you went over your data, so now we're going to charge you 10 bucks every GB you go over." Not one time has anyone over the last 500 phone calls I've made ever said anything about being charged. We weren't "charged" in August, September, or October, or November and all of a sudden we're being charged? So they credited my bill 60 dollars. We made a payment arrangement 50 bucks a week from the date of the phone call, and another payment of 50 the following week. I kept up my end and paid the first 50 two days before it was due. Then our internet gets shut off! I call them again, and they have "NO NOTES CONTAINING MY CALL" but still have the 60 dollar credit on my bill? Okay.
SO now we're 2 weeks away and we get our bill for January...202 dollars...so now I'm at a 274$ just for internet. I don't have almost 300 bucks to pay for internet. BUT THEN the 3rd week of our internet being shut off (Got shut off January 5th)...I get a letter in the mail saying we overreached our data limit for the month (Dated January 25th). HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!? THEY SHUT IT OFF FOR 3 WEEKS! AT&T is a rip off. They don't care about you, your family. They false advertise and then charge you at the ass for nothing!!! I called and canceled my service today, and WILL NOT be paying that 274 dollar bill.

I signed up for a promotional package that would keep my costs right at $118.00 a month. It also included three free months of movie channels. I cancelled the movie channels in plenty of time, however, was still charged. When I did not pay the bill in full, having subtracted the additional movie package charge that I did not want and I'll reiterate "cancelled well before the three month deadline", our service was discontinued. Once this happens the ridiculous reconnect of $49 is applied and a $9 late fee. So then the bill became an unaffordable $168. Eventually they took off the movie package charge but not before I fell into the cycle of disconnects and late fees. As a teacher in NC, an extra $50 makes a difference. This company could care less.

AT&T U-verse is terrible. I came to learn that I was basically being jipped, paying way more than I should for such a pathetically low internet speed compared to other providers, so I decided to cancel. When I did, they informed me that I would have to pay a fee for ending my contract early. What contract? If I was ever actually informed of a contract, I never would have had service with that company because I stand firmly against signing contracts. After much debate, the Rep agreed with me and told me not to pay my current bill, that it would be prorated since I wasn't finishing out the month. I reiterated this, making sure I clearly understood what she was telling me.
The bill finally came, and what do you know, I'm being charged for the whole month PLUS the early termination fee. I called to try and resolve it, telling them to pull the recording of the conversation I had had with the Rep. They of course wouldn't do so. They just told me I had to pay it and when I refused, sent me to collections. If you want to do business with a crooked and dishonest company, this is the one!

The Tech showed up on agreed day and started his process, and during the set up a wiring problem occurred, and he told us that he would return the following day with a wiring Tech to finish the job and agreed upon the same time frame as before.
Hours after the agreed time and after several unanswered phone calls, the wiring Tech came and started his work. After a short time the Tech was able to finish his job, and he called the previous Tech that was supposed to assist him and was informed that it was his day off and it would not be able to come and register the job.

I hate to be cliché, but I would leave 0 stars if I could. As someone who used to be a customer service rep and who used to be at the blunt end of misguided customer anger, I'm an extremely patient person with customer service reps and service employees in general, but I almost threw my phone every single time I had to call AT&T. I grew up with internet, so it's safe to assume that I would refuse to go without it once I was out on my own. I just bought my first home recently (21 years old, go me), and I had set up for internet installation before I even closed on my house so I would have internet service ASAP. I had HEARD horror stories about Charter and I knew my father went through AT&T, so I decided to go through AT&T since those two were the only service providers in my area. Biggest mistake I have ever made.
Day one, January 18th, 2017 was when we had our installation. I had ordered online 60 mgb/s and elected to have my $99 installation fee broken up into three payments of $33 over my first three bills just to make it a little easier on my wallet. There were a few things that I needed to fix immediately in my house, so I couldn't dish out $99 especially when I had the option to not do that.
January 21st, 2017, turns out 60mgb/s isn't even provided in my area. I was not told this until I argued and got to the point of yelling at the guy on the other end of the phone. Not only did they just bump me down to 45mgb/s without telling me, but they didn't even give me 45mgb/s in the first place. They gave me 6mgb/s. SIX per SECOND. It took an hour of arguing to convince the guy that we had indeed had our router installed and had had service for 2 days before he started looking into the issue. (Not to mention we had to argue with him to convince him that KB's were smaller than MGB's, but that's another story lmao) I didn't find out about being bumped from 60 to 45 until I called asking why in the hell I couldn't stream a movie at 320 kb/s. So dude does a hard reset basically, and gets us our service.
Next day, January 22nd, 2017, it has dropped back down again. We have a technician sent out and he said that the hard restart had screwed with the router. He fixed it for the most part, but we still can't stream a movie at 420kb/s over the wifi without it buffering and with no one else using the internet which is ridiculous. January 23rd, 2017, I call to ask when my first bill is due and to make sure I am not getting charged for 60mgb/s when that is not what I'm getting. I'm told I'm being charged for the 45 and my first bill will be due on February 27th. Yesterday, January 25, 2017, I received an email about my first bill. In my email, not only was the due date set for February 11th, but it was a total of $170. They were charging me the full $99 installation fee which I could not cover due to paying for supplies to make repairs on my home.
I had another 1 hour argument to get it mostly resolved (Keyword: Mostly), but now here I am a week and a half after getting my service installed in the first place, writing this review. I have just cancelled my AT&T Uverse service and have scheduled for Charter to come out on Monday. Not only did I receive an actual person (In the US no less) within just a few seconds, but they were extremely helpful and even got me all sorts of "New Homeowner" discounts. I'm going to be getting 60mgb/s from them for significantly less as well. Perfect for a house full of gamers. Please do yourself a favor and do not get this service. You are probably better off getting an unlimited data plan and using a Cellular hot spot (NOT THROUGH AT&T) than you would be going through their internet service.

I can only describe the events over the last month as the most bizarre and surreal customer service experience I have ever encountered. I do have to say that in trying to resolve the problem, I encountered many, competent, pleasant and knowledgeable support personnel. The problem is that they were struggling valiantly, and unsuccessfully against a completely broken system to correct the problem that AT&T created in the first place.
We have had U-verse in our home since it first became available in Dallas. When we bought a lake house in Mt. Vernon this summer, we ordered DirecTV because U-verse was not available in the area. When the system was installed, it included TV stations from Tyler, TX instead of Dallas. Since we live in Dallas, we had no interest in the Tyler stations and called DirecTV to ask for the Dallas stations instead. The representative said that the local stations were assigned by zip code. That seemed strange because our lake house is actually closer to Dallas than Tyler, so I don't understand why Tyler was the default selection, but that is a minor point. The rep suggested the easy way to fix the problem was to simply change the address associated with my DirecTV account to my Dallas billing address. He updated my address and within about five minutes I had the local Dallas stations available on my DVR. I was a happy camper.
About a month ago however, I received a letter from AT&T saying it had noticed I had both DirecTV and U-Verse, and unless I called to say I wanted to keep both services, AT&T would discontinue my U-Verse TV service. The first thing that struck me as strange was why would AT&T want to do that? If I ordered both services and was paying for them, why should AT&T care why I wanted both? What do they gain by killing off sales? The second thing that struck me as strange, was the fact that I had to take action to keep AT&T from discontinuing my service. Wouldn't a better and more customer friendly way be to re-phrase the letter to say that if I wanted to discontinue one of the services, please contact us?
So, I called twice; once to DirecTV and once to U-Verse. I spent over an hour on the phone each time, and no one I talked to could come up with any explanation for why I received the letter or knew what to do about it. No one could understand why the letter would have been generated in the first place, and there was no record of it on my accounts. I was re-assured that my service was fine and would not be interrupted.
On the afternoon of 1/23, our U-verse service vanished. I called technical support and found out that an order had been generated somewhere in the system to disconnect the service despite the assurances I received that this would not happen. The technical support person had no ability to turn my service back on and had to connect me to a customer satisfaction representative. I was on hold for almost an hour. Now just stop and think about for this a second. If my situation is so screwed up that I need a "customer satisfaction" representative, is making me wait an hour to talk to one going to improve the situation?
Anyway, the person that I was connected to spent about half an hour analyzing the situation and was initiating the steps needed to restore my service. In doing so, he started to update the address for my DirecTV service. I said "Please don't do that. If you do, I will lose my local Dallas stations out at the lake house." He said specifically, that he would not change the active address when I pressed him on the issue.
He submitted a work order which was supposed to start the process flowing to get my service re-established and told me that my service would be restored in an hour or two. About an hour later I get a call from another AT&T rep who wanted to talk to me about scheduling an installation order. I explained that no installation was needed since I had all of my equipment, the problem was simply that my service had been mistakenly turned off and needed to be turned back on. She cancelled the equipment installation, saying that would allow the activation order to continue through the system, and repeated the assurances that my service should be back on in an hour or two. That was about 8:00 pm.
When I woke up the next morning, the service was still not on. I called AT&T again. After another hour on the phone with another support person, I learned that the person I talked to the previous night had made a mistake updating the work order and cancelled the re-activation of my service when she cancelled the equipment installation. That person allegedly corrected the error, and said again, that my service should be back on in an hour or two. That was at 9:00 am.
At 1:30 I received a call from an installer, who told me that my DVR and receivers would need to be replaced. According to him, once the boxes were removed from an account, there was no way to re-activate them. This meant I lost all of the recordings, the favorites and the recording schedules on the DVR. Why he was the first person to tell me this? To add insult to injury, the installer was not responsible for the return of the old (perfectly working) boxes, and I had to take them to UPS.
So let me recap how I was treated by AT&T: My service was unilaterally terminated over my objection, when it was fully paid for and there was absolutely no valid reason to do so. I wasted more than 8 hours of my time calling the 800 number, first in trying to prevent AT&T from turning off my service, and then in trying to get it turned back on. This time was wasted because this scheme to de-activate seemingly duplicate services was apparently not communicated to AT&T's support organization and no one knew anything about it.
I was without TV service for the better part of two days while the problem was resolved. I had to spend another hour or more setting up my favorites and recording schedules after the new boxes were installed. I was required to take the boxes that didn't need to be replaced, to UPS so I would not be billed for them after they had been replaced with new boxes, wasting more of my time. If AT&T was trying to destroy its business and chase customers away, I can't think of anything they could have done to me that they didn't do in the last month. Good job AT&T, you succeeded; I can't wait for Google Fiber to come to Dallas.

Then when I try to access my email later that evening, my email service has been suspended. The billing department person says they know nothing about email support and sends me to tech support.

First off, if I could give AT&T a negative 5 stars, that would suit my experience a much better. I cancelled my services with AT&T on the 17th of January. I left them because they are too expensive for the services that they offer. I didn't want services with them but I didn't have a choice because the area that I moved to only offered AT&T. They charged me $73.00 a month just for I internet alone. I had auto pay. Which was the worse mistake ever. I specifically asked the agent numerous times if she could be sure that they would not take any money out of my account after the cancellation. With an attitude, she replied, "Once you cancel your account with us, your information will be deleted as well." She also stated that I was receiving a credit. I called the next day and spoke with another agent ensuring that they would not take any money out of my account. She told me the same thing.
The auto payments come out on the 21st of each month, no sooner or no later. When the 21st passed, that was confirmation that's this terrible love affair with AT&T was over. WRONG!!! This afternoon, AT&T went into my account and took out another payment. I called and spoke with numerous supervisors. They were not willing to give me back my money. I asked them, "How can you go into my account and take money from me when I don't even have your services anymore?" She kept stating that I had with auto payments.
Long story short, they did not put the money back into my account and told me that the only way I could receive my money, was to send a fax with my name and bank account number. I have never experienced such bad customer service. I know that my issue may be small but I will take this to a higher power. I will file a lawsuit. I have to start somewhere, to ensure that they are dealt with in the most appropriate way. Worst company ever.

Long story but what it comes down to is AT&T / U-verse did not honor their promotional obligation. And from reading the other reviews they failed to honor others as well. They are not to be trusted and you should keep an close eye on what they are charging you. NEVER pay through your personal bank account. If there is a mistake, and there will be an overcharge, you will not get that money back for some time especially when cancelling that account. There overseas phone center is not helpful and it takes them too long to figure out what and where a specific charge originated from. Further, when asked what is owed, you will never get the same price twice. I regret ever signing up for their service. Lesson learned.

They transfer you from one department to another forcing you to explain the situation over and over, provide them with the same information you gave to the previous department and nothing gets resolved. On many occasions during the transfers from one department to another, you might be on hold for more than 30 minutes. The only consistent issue with the calls is that they tell you "I am very sorry that this is happening" but give you no information on status of the repair, which is what I am looking for. They promised me that a technician would be at my house between 4-8 pm on the 18th of January and that an adult needed to be home. I missed a day of work in order to be home.
When I called at 7:30 to make sure someone was coming, they informed that they were not. I explained to them that I had stayed home from work to wait for them, I received the same answer, "I am so sorry". I need my home computer for doing work related issues but AT&T is not concerned with that. This evening I was told by someone from their overseas office that customers with this issue was probably below 5. That probably indicates to me, although I was not told this, that it is not a high priority issue for them. The most I have gotten is that they have an open repair ticket in their system but it has no indication when it is scheduled to be completed. Since the issue is affecting on a small number of customers and they have thousands of them, having an upset customer means nothing to them.
Logic tells me that the ticket has not been assigned to anyone for repairs since it would be very simple to discuss the issue with the repair man to get an estimated time for completion and inform the customer. They have no regards for the consumer. I am just an extremely frustrated customer and I am at their mercy. The public service commission should not tolerate this behavior.

I have had DirecTV for over a year. Love my services. We decided to bundle our internet with them. I made an appointment and waited, no one showed up so I called and the first person I talked to couldn't speak English well at all. They said I already had AT&T at my house so they cancelled my appointment which they never called to tell me. I called back and spoke to someone who could speak English better and she said the person who cancelled the appointment was at fault. So she rescheduled me after I said I'd like a supervisor to call me back. Never got a call back.
I filled out 2 surveys by now and asked for a supervisor to call me back never got one call. I have had 3 techs out to my house since we were installed and I still have the same problem. When I stream movies it says buffering and won't play. They upgraded me for free to the highest speed internet they offer and I still get this issue. Right now, my internet goes in and out all the time. I'm getting a security system installed and I have to have internet. This is not going to work but I can't get a call from a supervisor. They have the worst customer service. All I've asked for is a supervisor to call me back. I need this resolved but I can't get ahold of a supervisor. I don't recommend AT&T.

I signed up for AT&T mobile and was enticed to sign up for DirecTV to get unlimited data and a $200 gift card. They messed up and somehow put my son in law's name on the DirecTV account instead of me. My son in law is on my phone account but he wasn't even in the state when I signed up for these contracts. The DirecTV service is for my house but billed to my son in law in a different state. I don't even know how the contract can be legit if they put on a person's name without their knowledge or consent. I call customer service and there is "nothing they can do about it." I hear that a lot from them. So now because of AT&T's mistake I didn't get the $200 gift card.

I've paid almost $700 in two and a half month!!! Their chatting option - boy these guys should win an Oscar, "yes ma'am, absolutely ma'am, of course we understand". Even to the point of calling me and stating what they would reimburse me (funny, should have known better).

I called spoke with May ** and she couldn't fix it. 45 min later she says a guy will be out tomorrow between 4 and 8pm? I pay 105.00 a month for Internet.

No one called so I call back, I get Alona and have to repeat my issue again, 20 minutes later I finally get a tech mgr. DILLAN. He says it's my modem and that the earliest they can get out here is tomorrow at 4 to 8. I then tell him that's unacceptable and he says he is sorry. This will be our 6 modem in less than 3 years. Their equipment is crap for sure. We always have slow computers and lags. 8 months ago I bought the biggest and highest speed they have and still lags?
I am moving here soon and will never use AT&T again. I've been with them 14 years with all my phones and UVERSE 4 years. But I have had more problems lately with our phones too. Not receiving texts or 8 hours later the text comes in. I guess they just don't care about the customer anymore. Well they will lose my business about 400 a month. Hopefully if they lose enough they will then care. I have wasted many hours on the phone and taking off work due to their faulty equipment. They can only give you a 5 dollar credit. Are you kidding me? I make 36 an hour? If you're reading this don't use AT&T.

I was completely frustrated with Bright House here in Orlando. I had only internet with them, and it was constantly going out. So AT&T came knocking one day (I already had DirecTv) and offered me $160 is monthly savings. "Just switch to U-verse and we'll bundle it with your DirecTV that you already have, and you'll save!" I of course was skeptical. Asked all the questions about reliability, data caps. They assured me min 12 mbps download minimum. No caps. No throttling when I use too much. So, I said yes. Big mistake! Agreed to a 2 yr contract. Now I'm stuck not saving the $160 promised, not able to stream content because the download speed is 3 mbps and sometimes less, and no one can do anything to fix it because that's the best they can do.
Talked to the incompetent tech service, who read the cue card, and followed the flow chart. Argued with her for not listening to what I was telling her. Eventually I told her to just send a tech out to fix it. They of course would charge me $160 if the tech didn't find a problem. So rather than be discouraged, as they wanted, the tech came out. Told me the problem is not their equipment, but the servers of the sites I was visiting. So, I pulled up the sites using my cell phone data (Verizon), and it worked just fine. Obviously Verizon uses different servers, nothing we can do. "We won't bill you the $160 for the visit." And why in the ** is my bill constantly changing?

For my troubles I was upgraded at no cost and promised several movie channels, also at no cost. Never got the movie channels. For several months the bill fluctuated. This month my bill increased by $40 a month. Stupidly I paid it, and 10 minutes later downgraded the channel package, at a savings of $70 per month. Immediately 90% of the channels disappeared.

Knowing that I would be required to use their equipment, I asked about the parental control features such as activity logging, time scheduling, website blocking, etc. I was assured that such features were available by logging into the router. However, the day the service was installed, I discovered that no such features are available in the router (NVG599). I called the U-verse manager and he seemed to think that I was the only person that wanted such features and it was unusual. I informed him that my years-old Netgear router had such features and they were actually quite common. To make matters worse, the service is only marginally faster than my prior DSL service. Of course this is probably due to the fact that the U-verse service is actually DSL (as indicated in the Broadband tab of the NVG599 software).

I called AT&T to set up internet service at my new address. In the process of going through the steps with the agent to set up the service, I was told they would need to obtain information from my credit report. I asked her if it would be a hard or soft inquiry. The agent responded it would only be a soft inquiry because it was only to verify if a deposit would be required. After all was said and done, I checked my Credit Karma account as I regularly do now due to fraudulent activity on my credit report in the past. I also placed a fraud alert on my credit report to help prevent future fraud activity and I've personally abstained from applying for anything that would require a hard inquiry which is why I asked the agent beforehand.
Lo and behold, on my Equifax report, a new hard inquiry from AT&T! I immediately called back to customer care to have the inquiry removed and to cancel my service. The agent I was connected to told me that AT&T could not remove the hard inquiry even though I did not authorize it but of course offered me a discount or rewards for my inconvenience. Unbelievable. AT&T merely sees their mistake as an "inconvenience" to the customer. However, in the meantime, my credit score will surely be affected due to this "inconvenience". This only solidified my decision to cancel my service with the company which took over 30 mins just to complete as I kept getting re-routed to the wrong department. All in all, a terrible experience. I will never repeat with them again. I am now planning to dispute directly with Equifax since AT&T refused to remove the unauthorized hard inquiry to fix their mistake.

If you are looking for a hassle-free experience, do NOT use AT&T. Twice burned, shame on me! First time around I purchased 3 phones and plan renewals (or so I thought) through AT&T at a Target store in Houston. The rep was a third party retailer. When I asked to keep my plan/cost the same, he said "no problem". Not sure if he consciously lied or if he really did not know what he was doing, but when all was done, my price went up over $75 per month for the same plan. When I called AT&T (at least 6 conversations), they said, "your plan is the same, you just lost the discounts you had before!" Enough said. I converted everyone over to Sprint as soon as Sprint launched their new switch program... By the way... Sprint... 5 stars for customer service... 3 stars for coverage.
Almost 2 years later, a friend extols the virtues of DirecTV. So I finally cave and get Wireless, DirecTV and U-verse Internet from AT&T. Stupid me! The Authorized AT&T retailer, Spring Mobile, promised the Universe and delivered Pluto. A frozen planet far away from what was promised. To add insult to injury, the rep was actually promoted to some kind of manager for another store and that store, as well as the store where I bought the package never answers their phones and never returns calls when you leave messages. They absolutely do not care about their customers or their integrity. It is all about making the sale at any cost.
Bottom line, if you really, really have to deal with AT&T, do it with a corporate store. At least you will eliminate the middle fibber. So I have whittled away at the rebates and credits that were promised with no less than 8 phone calls to the mother ship. Still in the hole about $1,150 while I wait for my Switcher credits (for which I had to apply after the store rep said she had done the application... another fib). Anyway, you are warned.

Contacted them for bundle Internet and VOIP. After everything was said and done, the tech came over and installed all well there. The Fraudulent part is that for the wonderful package they offer there is no mention of a 1042GB cap usage for the quoted monthly price. After the cap is reached they charge $10 for much smaller chunks of data. I used 1/3 of the allotted time in 2 hrs while watching a movie on fire stick. Be aware of these caps and charges and ask them about it before you sign up. They will not volunteer these information.

I got ATT wireless and Direct in July. They completely lied to me about service, plans, pricing. I have been charged all kinds of ridiculous fees and had the wrong service installed and get shuffled from non-English-speaking person to non-English-speaking person. I have over 50 hours on the telephone with customer service agents in the last five and a half months. I never get statements until I call them and scream at them and then I have a statement two days later but it's always late. They always attach late fees and extra fees to my statements. I end up paying about $70 a month more than what I'm supposed to be paying and when I try to talk to somebody about it they completely ignore me or just hang up on me. Each month I speak to a agent finally that says they have taken care of everything but on the very next statement all of that money is still owed plus the attached more fees.
They switched my plan so now I don't get what I originally signed up for. My Wi-Fi is nearly non-existent but I cannot talk to anybody about it because they tell me everything works great! I waited 3 months for a $200 Visa card for signing up and never got it. Finally talk to somebody that acted like they knew what was going on and promised that I would have it within four to six weeks and that was 3 months ago. When I try to talk to somebody about getting rid of this horrible service that completely ignore me and will not talk to me about how to disconnect ATT and direct.
This company is lying, deceitful, Criminal! I just want out of this and want for this nightmare to be over but can't get anywhere with anybody. I'm so disgusted and shocked that a company is given the power to treat a customer like this without the customer having any kind of actions to take. I wish I would have looked at the horrendously terrible reviews for this company before signing a contract with them. I don't understand how it is legal for a company to treat a customer like this. If I did this to one of my customers I would be in jail!

This complaint is regarding AT&T UVERSE which keeps tormenting me with false charges. I signed up with AT&T on 06/22/2016 where I reached an agreement for monthly payment of $37, @ 18MB/s for the promotional one year offer. Prior to June 22, 2016, Uverse was my previous internet provider with the same internet speed (18MB/s) and a monthly charge of $31, and when the price went back up, I was forced to seek for a new provider. One day I got in touch with an AT&T salesman who offer me a $37 monthly payment @ 18MB/s and would also waive the first two months. I was ecstatic and went ahead and signed up with them. He reassured me that since I had already purchased a modem in the previous contract, I would not be charged an installation fee and even though some charges 1st appeared, he reassured me that it was standard and they will disappear when the 1st bill would be sent.
Also, as soon as I signed up, I had a functioning internet line (since I had purchased a modem before) and sent out emails, and this also is a fact that has been overlooked and ignored, but I can easily show (via emails and data usage) that I had a good internet connection prior to the technicians arriving at my residence, thus rendering my modem functional. However, the AT&T installation team came to inspect the lines outside and checked the ones inside as well, and again I was reassured that no out of pocket charge was going to add to my monthly bill of $37. So now I am thinking that I am getting June & July waived and any previous charges from last contract of 2015-2016, but little did I know.
AT&T send me a 1st bill of 152.93 due on 8/8/2016 and a 2nd bill of no less than $206.54 for the month of August which was due on 9/7/2016. During this time, I was infuriated and called them to only find operator after operator transferring me to other departments where I was always placed on hold and then hung up on. The first day I was on the phone for more than three hours explaining the same story to the operators over and over but this led to nothing but my internet getting cut off and I was forced to make a payment of $111.00 on 8/30/2016 for the two previous months, which two of them (June & July) were promised to get waived from the contract and paid $39.61 on 09/01/16 for the next month of September as well and just made the payment of $38.22 on 10/27/16.
As you can see none of the charges are $37.00 nor have ever paid what my contract was asking for due to extra charges and changes to my account which are a clear violation of contract and were orchestrated solely by the greed behind the AT&T Empire. But wait, there's much more, because these artificial bills just keep coming and becoming even larger, as I keep receiving more statement of $93.61 due on 10/09/2016 & $110.22 due on 11/07/2016 and finally just received the ultimatum yesterday that if don't make the payment by 10/31/2016 then my internet will be interrupted.
Well I would like to use these few last moments of my time to expose these scammers and frauds for who they are. Aside from the horrible customer service and the huge quantity of lies which I have been told from various AT&T operators (whom have promised that they will fix my account), I was only given temporary credits while the false payments rolled on to the next month, only this time with fees and charges which they, themselves have created.
Moreover, I just recently found out (last month to be exact) that the AT&T technicians who entered my home on 06/22/2016 replaced my fully functional, privately owned and up to standards MODEM, with some new modem which looks the same and has the same components as the previous generation. They were charging me $7/month for it without my knowledge an equipment fee which also resulted in a snowball effect of extra fees and charges. I was not told about this by the technicians (I must've not been present when they switched it) nor have I ever signed anything which stated that I would allow them to take my modem and pay AT&T an equipment fee for a new one. The modems are identical and I did not have an idea that was going to be charged an equipment fee. Just ask you self this; who would give up their perfectly functioning modem to be charged and equipment fee? It's absurd.
I have records of operatives names and badge numbers, conversation after conversation recorded on paper and detailed account which I experienced while trying to resolve this issue, whom promised that issues would disappear and AT&T would respect the terms of the contract yet I am writing to you in despair and disbelief that the harassment and the threats over more payment or face the consequences continue.
After I found AT&T switched my modem, I asked a AT&T phone operative to bring it back but he refused and said that there is no way that this could possibly happen, so I had to pay the equipment fee. I explained to him that the device, which was my property, was taken out of my residence without my consent and that I had no knowledge of the extra monthly charge of $7 after this switch were to happen.
On 10/23/2016 I was chatting with a AT&T operative via AT&T.net while looking at the ridiculous monthly charge. He/she said that he/she would have a manager call to clarify the issue (his name - James). The manager called me at my cell and then after I explained the issues to him, without saying where decided to transfer me. After being transferred some X recording machine asked for me to leave a message and then I hung up. Then started a new chat with someone else who reduced my monthly bill to $38.22 which I recently paid, but said that could not do anything about the other charges because needed manager support and would call or have someone call at 10:30 AM the next day (10/24/2016).
No one called, but they did not forget to send me a bill of $110.22 due on Nov 07, 2016 and a threat of internet interruption if at least $56.61 are not paid by October 31, 2016. FYI: I printed all the conversations and have kept up will all their lies and discomfort which they have caused. This is causing me distress and for this reason I am seeing a psychiatrist for this anxiety which is a direct cause of the continuous bullying of AT&T. I have decided to not pay and will soon seek legal action. Also, I will not trust AT&T anymore. Here's a list of laws they broke: 1) Unlawful seizure of private property from my legal residence (Modem). 2) False charges applied to account on behalf of point (1). 3) Unlawful extra charges, fees & interests on behalf of points (1) & (2). 4) Breach of contract, since I was always charged over $37/monthly.
Ethical Conduct which AT&T operative & managers broke. 1) Lied to customer about fixing the issue and yet continued the same money scam. 2) Unprofessional resolution and tough, near impossible compromises. 3) Unwilling to talk, cooperate, solve or escalate the problem to higher level staff. 4) Unwilling to explain continued billing issues, origin of charges and fees. In all, I should've never trusted AT&T as my provider.

In April 2016 I called AT&T to cancel my services because of the increase in my bill during the two years' contract and was told that if I switched to DirecTV which they owned I would get a set rate of 135.00 per month for internet and satellite. I got that rate in May and from June to December the rate has gone up. This month it is 224.00. I was also told if I cancelled before 2 years the fee would be 250.00. When I spoke to them on Friday for the ninth and final time for over 90 minutes, I was told to disconnect would be 480.00. Additionally the manager, Aaron was very rude. I have already blasted them on social media and I will not stop.

I have been with AT&T for 5 years. Everything was good for the first few years, until I decided to cut the cable cord on cable and use only U-Verse internet about a year and a half ago. Since then we have had nothing but problems with our service and the customer service when you try to resolve these issues is even worse. Over the last 18 months we have not had a steady stream of service for any longer than a few weeks. The internet speeds are always far below what they should be and often times will simply cut out.
We are not gamers or over-average internet users in my household at all. We have 2 televisions where we stream Amazon, Hulu, and Netflix, and partake in very standard computer use. We cannot watch Netflix on both televisions without one slowing down and having to restart every 30 minutes to an hour. If we are using the computer, the streaming slows to a crawl. We call, service improves for a week or two and then it is right back to the usual slow service. Unacceptable for almost $80/month.
But the worst of it is dealing with their "customer service," and trust me, I use that term very lightly. I am now dealing with a mysterious late fee placed on my bill (multiple representatives have confirmed I have never been late on a payment), which I was never notified of until I called the company to complain about the slow service again. The first time I called on the 14th of December, I had to go through 4 different representatives who all said the same thing - they had gone back to 2015 and could not see anytime where I had been late on payment and so the fee had to be wrong, but they couldn't do anything.
Finally, after spending 40 minutes dealing with this, I was transferred to a manager who after another 20 minutes agreed to reverse the charge because he also confirmed that it had no basis in fact for being there. Almost an hour on the phone to fix a seemingly simple issue, or so I thought. Well fast forward to Monday 12/19, I get a phone call from AT&T saying they have information and call them back. When I do so, I get shuffled around and have to explain the story another 3 times even though they could very easily look at notes in their system.
When I finally get to a "manager" he is incredibly rude and actually hangs up on me saying "I am just going to cancel your service then." No, I did not ask for the service to be canceled, and you do not hang up on a paying customer. When I called back, told my story another 3 times to get to a manager again, I am told they have no notes saying the fee would be reversed and they will not do so. I told them to listen to the tapes, because all calls are recorded. The woman I spoke with, after a lot of pushing, finally says she will escalate the request and they will pull the tapes and get back to me within 24-48 hours.
I am mildly satisfied with this because I know if they pull the tapes they will clearly hear the original manager I spoke with state that the charge will be removed. It is now December 21st and I receive another phone call from AT&T, have to explain the situation again, even though they called me to talk about it so they should have read notes. And big shocker, they have not pulled the tapes and are repeating the same line they have been since Monday - charge is not being reversed, I have to pay the fee. I have now spent almost 2 1/2 hours over 3 days on the phone with AT&T dealing with a situation that never should have been a problem in the first place.
I would not recommend U-Verse to my worst enemy at this point. Their customer service staff is very poorly trained and has no concept of doing the right thing, following through on promises, or how to take care of their customers in general. If you are thinking of U-Verse, stay as far away as possible and don't do it. You will regret it if you use their service.

About 10 months ago, I was thinking of switching ISP's. I had Comcast with over 100 hd channels, 15 mbps download speed, and unlimited phone for $115.00 per month. AT&T told me I could get the same basic package for $60.00 per month, only the download speed would be 12 mbps, and not 15. They told me that their television came through DSL just like Comcast's did when I told them that I live in an apartment building and therefore I could not get a satellite. The next day, a guy showed up with a dish. I did not get the television, but I watch most stuff online, so it was not a big issue to me.
After a few days, I noticed videos were taking much longer to buffer than they should at 12 mbps. I called them and they said I only got the 6 mbps package because even though they offered 12 mbps in my area, it was not available in my area. I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and just told them to get my speed up to 6 mbps and to where it didn't boot me off every few minutes. This went on for months. I finally said they needed to boost my profile up to 12 mbps, just so I could get 6.
They did, but it only worked for a week or two. Ever since July of 2016, I have had nothing but 1 or 2 mbps, and week after week they would send a technician out to do nothing. They kept telling me they credited my bill in July, August, and September, because they could not fix the problem. October came, and my service was actually pretty good, so I tried to pay my bill that month, only to have them shut off my service claiming that I owed them $289.00. I paid it thinking that as long as the service works, and they don't make a habit out of overcharging me, I am fine. Then I went to pay this month's bill. $115.83. for a $60.00 service. Still, I paid it, but this time I made them tell me on record what my next bill would be. At first they refused to do so, but I am the only one on the account, and the only person living in my apartment, so they had to. They said it was going to be $60.00. Immediately, it went from 10 mbps, to between 1 and 2 mbps.
I called them later that day, and it was going to be 4 days before a tech came out. He eventually came out yesterday, but did nothing to fix any issues. Didn't even come to my door to see if my connection speed was correct. I called them again today and got another appointment scheduled for Wednesday, but later on, Veronica ** (someone from AT&T's home office called me). She tried to get me to downgrade my speed to 6 mbps, because they say it is what is causing all of my problems. I told her it was the speed I was promised.
She again recommended that I downgraded my speed, and I recommended that they upgrade their equipment to get me the service I was promised. She then said that since they recommended me to downgrade my speed, they would no longer send anyone out to fix the issues I have. I said if they don't fix it, I will not pay one red cent. I also asked for a refund of the $115.83 that I paid this month since I paid for 12 mbps, and was only getting 1. She said that since they do not provide a product, but do provide a service, they are going to ignore the consumer laws here in America, and not give me the service I paid for, or a full refund of the $115.83. This is not legal, and I want to know what steps I need to take to force them to either give me the service I paid for, or a full refund. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Just signed up for AT&T u-verse on 12-1-2016, I wanted directv only to find out if you don't give AT&T your social you will have to go to u-verse. For bundle package u-verse tv/Internet/Phone. Spoke with Mr. ** who was new which I stayed on phone with him for about 50 minutes who was back & forth checking with his peers regarding services and then put his supervisor on phone. After another 10 minutes spoke with his manager Taray on 12-1-2016 for my package completion and follow-up to the package I was purchasing. I asked the manager I have a sickly person in my household so therefore I must have a battery back-up in case of bad weather or power outage. My landline for phone must be working, which she assured me AT&T offered battery-backup for free if you had it previously, which I did.
Only to my surprise when the technician came out on the 6th of December for installation, I asked him "was my battery-back up completed?" He stated AT&T have not offered battery-back-up in over (2) years. How can at&t offered products to consumers to sign up only to find they don't carry the products. I would think that a manager/Supervisor would know what they carry or not. I have caller ID, that don't work. Out of (66) calls received only (10) registered. My husband and I, has t-mobile cell phones in our names, that doesn't register when calling home, it states unavailable as the person calling, it seems that 90% of our calls that comes from a cellular phone states unknown or unavailable.
I have had Comcast, wow, Directv, and I have had at&t 7 years ago and never had this problem with caller ID. What's the purpose of having caller ID if you don't know who's calling, I have called about (7) times spoken to different reps and have talked to (3) resolution specialist and with (3) technician support and as of today no resolution has been resolved. I have talked to a machine, I have pushed many prompts, I been transferred many times after explaining problems, no one takes notes, every time I call I have to start as if I'm applying for a job, just to be transferred.
If I would have known that at&t did not have/Carry battery back-up and the names of callers calling I would have went a different route, like a different provider. I logged in to my at&t u-verse account on line. I personally added all phone numbers from family and friends to my phone contacts under at&t. The names & numbers are listed, only to find when they call it still states unavailable or unknown as the name with phone number listed.

Overall, once the internet is up it works great. Over the past 7 months into my contract the wifi goes out. AT&T sent over 14 different techs out and none of them fixed the problem. They said they found a problem with their line and supposedly fixed it. However, they actually never do what they said they are going to do. When I talk to technical support they run the same test every time from their office and their reboots do not work. I am going to terminate my contract early because this company does not fix their own problems. I recommend going with another provider and do not give this company a try.

This has been the worst experience of my life and the killing part is that AT&T has so many layers that one doesn't talk to the other. I had a DirecTV account, sold my house and moved into an apartment. I transferred my service but when the technician arrived he said that there was not line of sight so he couldn't connect it. So I call customer service and they said "ok we won't charge you termination fees and will send you boxes to return equipment." So then they directed me to AT&T Uverse which they had merge with.
I got Uverse service and because I controlled my mother's account was able to change her's service to AT&T as well. The technician gets to her house and said she was in an area that supported AT&T but upgraded her DirecTV. In the meantime I get a bill for $529.00 multiple charges, termination fees, equipment fees, etc. I called customer service. They understood said I would not be charged and I got Uverse.
I already had Uverse in my Alabama home. All of a sudden all the account are connected together. The $529 is still on my previous account. They cut my mother's services (Oh did I tell you my mother was 82 years old and lives alone) and cancelled my Alabama services, transferred payment from that service to the other account and cancelled it. I have called customer service every day for the last 2 weeks spending hours on the telephone with so many different people I was in tears. Every time I think I have a resolution I don't. The killing part is I can't get to a person that can correct this and you can't talk to the same person because there are no direct numbers. I think I'm just going to just cancel everything and chalk this up to the worst experience in my life.

Where do I even begin...so when I moved into my apts, I decided that I would get Internet. Since I have Hulu and Netflix, I figured I better get it right? Anyways I wanted to go with Comcast because they have no contracts and I had them at my last apt & never had an issue. The problem with me getting Comcast is my apt. They said that the only service provider we can use is AT&T. That should've been a warning sign to me because we all know that if they are the only provider you can get, they can royally screw you and get away with it.
I got the service in June and everything was okay until it wasn't! In Sept. 2016 I had a large sum of cash removed from my account so there was no money in there. Since I had my AT&T bill getting directly pulled from the account, they hit my account up 3X for the amount of $57.61. Since there was no money in the account my bank charged my account $30 each time for insufficient funds. When I finally talk to AT&T, they said that since I elected the electronic check, it would try pulling the money out 3X before it will stop. Then she said they will charge me $30 also for insufficient funds. I was like WTF. I was so mad I started to cry. Idk how my bill went from $40/month to $57/month. On top of that, she wanted me to pay $30, and because they kept trying to pull the money from my account, my bank was charging me another $90! In all, I paid AT&T $127 (will tell you why later).
Thank God for banking at Wells Fargo, because they credited me back half the money. I would later find out it would only get worse with AT&T. So fast-forward to now. On Dec. 9, 2016 I just got off work and decided to chill & watch TV. I tried to play my Netflix but to my surprise, it didn't work. Last time this happened my service was off. So I searched through my emails (yes I had to dig) and found that I had a bill for $104. Since I paid my bill last month, I was confused on how my bill went from $40/month to $104? AT&T told me that my bill of $40 that was due on 11/30/16 was suspended on 12-09-16 because of non payment. And the reinstated charge is $64. Again WTF! To make matters worse, I found out that the 2 months before, I've been paying the same amount for reinstated fees.
I have never experienced anything like this before. Yes, I probably should pay my bills on time but to get your service cut off 9 days later for $40 dollars? Really? They charged more for the late fees than they do the actual service. So for the last 3 months I paid $180 in late fees. AT&T are crooks! When I try to explain this to a few of their agents, they were rude AF. I refused to be treated and talked to like trash for something I'm spending my hard earn money for. You would've thought you were trying to get government services the way these people were talking to me. So I was like, FTS, I'm done! I told them to cancel my service and my contract.
Today, I called around to see what Internet service providers I can get with my apt and the only one really is AT&T. So I tried to get my AT&T service reinstated, why, because I need Internet and have no other option. They made me pay my past due amount (understandable) but later the guy tells me I had to pay another $99 for a technician to come out again and hook up my service (mind you, all the equipment is still hooked up). I said NO! I refused to give AT&T a dime more of my money. Yes, it will be tough with no WiFi but I refused to get raped by this business any longer. They literally try to squeeze any kind of money they can from you.
I didn't even have a problem paying the $99 on my next bill but they wanted me to pay it in advance on top of the $100 I already paid to reinstate the service. Hellllooooo, idiots do you know what time of year it is??? It's the most expensive time of the year and they are still trying to hustle you out of the little money you have left to spend on family & friends. NEVER AGAIN!

They begin with the review, the salesman said that the 18 Mbps plan would basically be equal to the Cox internet plan we currently had. We had a max 25 Mbps plan with Cox. We were extremely interested as we were going to save close to $100 per month on our total package bundle. So they came to install the system and all that went well, except that they were not able to bury the new line that was run to the house and that someone would be back out within 10 working days. This was in mid-October 2016. To this day, they have still not been back out to bury the line in our yard, approaching 7-8 weeks since installation. During this period, the internet was not bad, but was not near the level we were told to expect. Pretty much daily around 4 pm, there was a significant drop off of speed, sometimes all the way to no internet service at all.
Now fast forward to Sunday December 11th, 2016, the internet was working decently, probably around 10-11 Mbps in the morning and we left for a gymnastics meet. 8 hours later when we return, the internet service was almost non-existent. I ran the suggested speed test on AT&T's website and it came back as 0.05 Mbps down and 0.01 Mbps up. So I reset everything and waited for the 15 minutes to reboot itself and once internet was restored, couldn't even run a speed test. It was so slow. So this prompted me to make a call to customer service about the internet. During this time, they tried everything they said they could remotely to no avail, we did increase to 0.12 Mbps download. During this time, we were also getting a message on our TV that we could not use certain functions provided by DirecTV due to bad internet connection.
So they scheduled a service technician to come out on Mon 12/12 between 1 & 4 pm. I had to leave work early to be there, since my wife had carpooling duties for the kids. The service tech did not arrive until after 5 pm. The service tech replaced the modem that was only 7-8 weeks old. The techs have some sort of app that will show them speeds at the modem (not the same program we use) and he was getting 14-15 Mbps at that moment. Now fast forward about 2 hours, our internet speed on our devices was back down to 0.19 Mbps if it would even run a test. At one point, the speed was registered at 1 kbps. So I proceeded to call technical support again and go back through the same regiment that was performed the night before. The same conclusion was found, send out a tech between 1 & 4 pm.
I asked if they could expedite the service, since obviously nothing had been fixed and they said that ticket had been closed and the afternoon was the best they could offer. However, they did say they could have someone come in the morning if we could wait until 12/14, basically not listening to my need for a tech the morning of 12/13. I contacted the tech who was at the house on 12/12 and he said that all I could do was to put in a new ticket and have the next tech call him. He thinks it could be the port that is down the road and although it shows higher speeds when pinging the system, it actually has no strength to that speed. We are going to allow them to have one more chance to fix this issue, as my wife works from home several days a week and she can't be without reliable internet access. We are being quite skeptical about this fix working so, we will be calling Cox to get our services back.
In the 8 weeks since dropping them, the internet speeds available have doubled, so basically guaranteed 25 Mbps with peaks of 50 Mbps and that is likely to double very shortly. This is available, while I am dealing with internet speeds that are lower than the mid 90s. If I were to make a suggestion in regards to switching to DirecTV/AT&T, get everything in writing about what you are going to get with your service levels and what their remedies are going to be. We took the bait on this one and it is costing us dearly, they could not even provide us with the tech support phone number.
I don't it to sound like we received poor customer support from the people I talked to, but the calls became quite irritating as it is obvious no notes are input into our account in regards to what has been talked about previously. Just this morning, I had to explain myself 4 different times due to being passed around. I would provide an order or ticket number, but these have not been provided nor confirmations.

I decided to get AT&T U-verse and I already had DIRECTV. They talked me into bundle the 2 together. When I did that they lost the deal I had with my DIRECTV and my bill went from 114.00 to 211.00. I called them and they said early cancellation fee was 5 months early and the most will be 100.00. 20.00 a month. Now it is 160.00. I was told that pay a month ahead but that is a lie. They told me for a couple of months that they will waive the early cancellation fees since the bundle messed everything up. I had a choice of some credit or cancel the service so I canceled the and now I got a bill service for 651.00. Stay away from them. I got passed on to 10 different people on the phone and spent over an hour. They are a very pathetic company.

The WORST customer service EVER!! They said they were going to send us a Gift Card for $250-$350 for signing up, we never received anything. 4 months later we're still fighting with them about it. The phone calls, and time taken on the phone with these MORONS has exceeded the $250-$350 in our time and frustration. If I had a choice of other services I would discontinue the service.

I never write reviews, but AT&T went overboard this time... They sent me an invoice on service I never requested, also posted a note on my door that technician was unable to complete installation because I was not at home... When I called number listed on invoice to figure out what is happening, and to close an account that I never have requested to open, they transferred me multiple time with total hold over 30 mins, and then said I need to call a different number. To. Solve. My. Problem. I had to hung up. Total disrespect and lying to customers. I was considering to maybe switch at some point to Directv to use their promotional rates, but this experience just saved me from making a huge mistake!

At&t advertises "unlimited data" if you're also an At&t consumer. However there's a $100 extra charge if you go for it which means you're paying more for both services! To their credit you can stream Directv on your At&t device without it using data which is the best way to go.

This is my first time in life writing a review, I just can't explain how bad this company is! I have paid my phone in full yet they are still locking my phone. It is been 2 weeks. I have called 12 times. Their agents have no idea what they are doing. I'm sure they hired the cheapest labor and they don't even train them. I would never do anything with AT&T and I advice you to stay away.

I recently signed with ATT. I was told that I could change my internet speed anytime. After one week I knew this speed would not work for my household. I then called them to upgrade the speed and guess what the next speed was not available in my area. So I am stuck with a contract that does not meet my needs and they sail off into the sunset. This to me is fraud. Why can't they be stopped? Very difficult to reach and hard to understand. No support on weekends or holidays. You can sit at home with no TV internet or Ipad. I also have DirecTV who is now owned by no other than ATT.

My neighbor has it." Then told, "In three weeks installation to come"... never happened. Then application sent to wrong address 7 houses down. Good thing neighbor knew who I was. Then told, "Apply online. 3 to 5 days approval or denial after a week." Told application received but not processed. 2 days later told application not received. 9 days later told me their home phone service which internet does not say and I prove them to be liars. Many transfers on phone of experience disconnect and in the end five and a half weeks later told application received but documents did not upload. Then after warning them of this complaint I'm told it hasn't been processed yet. This has been a nightmare, a 5 & a half week ordeal of lies and games.
This AT&T low cost internet program installed by our President Barack Obama is a total scam. I also had problems with AT&T phone service and got rid of them within 2 weeks. The lies and the constant changes of my monthly bill when I am on food stamps and Social Security, I also believe with their incompetence and unprofessionalism, was done out of spite and they are liars. Beware. Don't even bother applying. It will be one lie after the other. Save yourself the aggravation of the customer service calls. Look elsewhere.

In April 2016 AT&T representative made me a verbal, over the phone offer, stated, "I send you a 250.00 gift card for switching to U-verse." I said, "What does it all entail?" She said I would be sent out a welcome kit including a 250.00 Visa or MasterCard can use at any retailers like Sears, J. C. Penney, and others easy, and she said no charge for my box or setting it all up, sounded easy, save me money monthly. What could go wrong, right? Everything went wrong, first it's been 8 months. I had called 3 time. They say, "What? No welcome kit, no Visa card? Well we have them send it out to you." 7-10 days... never came ever, instead they started sending me offers. "Switch from DISH to DIRECTV. We will send you 250.00 in gift Visa cards." I told them from get go I was not switching my TV provider. They lie and scam people, period.
They came out first time to install on first day, redirected wires. They snipped one of the two wires, so my system keep messing up. It was end of work day. Guy was running out of time. He said, "I have come back Monday to fix that messed up wire," never showed, never called. 3 days later I called him, left message. He never showed, never called. Week later I called his supervisor, left message to return my call. He never came, never called, forgot me. So month later my phone services go out, they come to fix it, said that wire needed fix. I said, "Well yeah he messed it up upon installation and wouldn't fix it." I reported to AT&T then said "It's been done." They were clueless as usual, so month later phone's out again, same issue, wire fell of box right in front of my face. I saw it, then he fixed it, month later phone's out again.
About every months our phone went out, then internet messes up. Can't get dependable service as they promised I would. Don't get cell services as they promised I would. Whole thing was nothing as they represented it to be. So now I'm getting my attorney involved. They forfeited my contract -- no card for 250.00, no welcome kit, no great U-verse service, no great or no cell service at all. I think I need my 250.00 card then they should get their worthless crap out of my house. I highly DO NOT RECOMMEND crappy AT&T U-verse.

Regardless of the internet transmission speed that it advertises, AT&T's supplies customers with a mandated modem (Pace: Model 5268AC) that buffers uploaded data by 2600 milliseconds, making VOIP telephony and gaming impossible (although, to be sure, it exempts its own proprietary telephone service [that it wants to sell you] from this restriction). There are plenty of honest internet providers out there. AT&T should only be considered if it has a monopoly in your market.

If I could give zero stars I would. My internet would not work at night around 6:00pm-7:00am the following morning. After several calls, and 3 techs being sent to my house, arriving late etc... They all came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong. I explained that they were dispatched in the daytime and the problem occurred every single night, so of course there would be no problem at the time they were dispatched! I did this over and over, sort of learned to live with it. Then I started online college and it was a necessity that my internet worked at night as that's when my classes were.
I spoke with a regional manager and he immediately explained that he could see an obvious problem with my pole outside's wiring (remotely). School started and I could no longer wait, so I switched to Comcast and AT&T charged me for the early cancellation fee anyways! My internet only worked half of the time it was supposed to and was absolutely the worst company experience I have ever had. I cancelled Directv as well as they are under AT&T. Horrible customer service and the worst company I have ever dealt with! Beware!!!

How many assurances and guarantees has #AT&T given #Congress that it would expand broadband internet service to rural counties in order to be granted million-dollar deals by the #FCC? And, yet, I have lived less than 100 miles from AT&T's corporate headquarters for more than two years and have been told by AT&T that they just don't provide internet service to my area. I am relegated to satellite internet, which is very costly and ineffective depending on weather conditions, and my AT&T mobile hotspot, which also is very costly and sometimes ineffective. How, in 2016 in the richest and most powerful country on earth, are Americans like me prevented from being able to work from home because telecommunications giants like AT&T have been granted a monopoly by the FCC, preventing competition in rural areas and getting away with failing to do what they promised in the first place?

"Basic internet" Speeds of UP TO 6gb down, I only ever saw us hit 4.5, max. Ever. Speeds of 1gb up. I only saw it hit .7, max. Ever. The internet is complete trash, constantly goes in and out. Latency and ping on video games skyrocket for no apparent reason. Custom service is outsourced to India or some **, can't understand the basic tech people when they speak. Then when they can't figure it out, they try to send you to some 3rd party service WHICH CHARGES YOU TO FIX THE PROBLEM THAT IS AT&T fault to begin with. Unreal.
I never do reviews, but this service is literally the ** I have ever had in my entire life. Plus to top it all off, the guy at the store said if we weren't satisfied with our service we could cancel it before 90 days for no fee. WELL GUESS WHAT?!? We have a 500 dollar fee to pay because that guy at the store is a dumb ** who doesn't know what he's talking about. If I was forced with the option of having no internet, or AT and T.

We have had AT&T internet service for about 15 years. It's been bad but is now horrible. Every time it rains out internet kicks off and on. Our speed over the past year has become ridiculously slow. After several checks they finally sent out a technician. He changed a wire and told us there could possibly be a problem on a pole about 1/2 mile from our home but it was vine covered and he didn't want to climb the pole. We continued to experience slow speed. Customer service suggested replacing our modem and we did at a cost of $129. Guess what? No difference. About a month ago our main email address stopped sending emails. I used a sub account every time I sent emails. Yesterday the sub account stopped sending. I was on the phone from 6:30-11:45. No answers.
I took off half a day's work to work on the problem. Starting at 6:30 this morning I started trying to resolve the problem. My half day off turned into a full day on the phone being switched from one person to another while being put on hold from 5-45 minutes in between. At 6:30 I gave up. Then I logged on to check my email to find out it had been wiped out. After being on chat for about an hour I was able to retrieve my emails. After all of this time I still have the original problem and was lucky to retrieve emails. Needless to say we have canceled our internet service and switched to a new provider.

1st off I was completely lied to when I called to inquire about switching to them for internet. I asked several questions about the service which were all answered falsely and when I called to complain was told by another employee that "they get paid by commission and told you what you wanted to hear to get the sale." To add insult to injury I was given an "introductory price" and if I cancel their crummy service I will have to pay 150$ on top of what I've already given them (almost 300$ since September) for service that I am not happy with and that is not what I was told. I also asked about getting the next higher speed (more money of course), was told that we have the highest speed for this area. I was also told by "customer service rep" that if we want to stream tv shows then everyone in the house should shut off any device that uses WIFI even if not in use... WHAT!?!?
My husband and I both got new phones from them just over a year ago also. My husband's won't take or make calls if he is not connected to WIFI and he can't use the data that we pay for either. When we went in to talk to them about it, we were told we can pay 354$ to buy out the rest of the contract, then buy a new phone and sign on for another two years. NO THANKS. I pretty much feel like someone who has sold their soul to the devil. Never been more dissatisfied with a company and "customer service" is an oxymoron where they are concerned.

My daughter spend her life saving to buy a home. She moved in on November 25th and on December 3rd, AT&T arrived to install services for both TV and internet. During the installation the technician drilled from the inside of the house to run wiring to complete the connection. In the process of drilling he bored directly through the 220 volt incoming power main and nearly caught the house on fire destroying all electrical service. They left the scene and for days my daughter had to live in a hotel while AT&T did absolutely nothing to fix the problem. She missed work and has medical conditions.
AT&T has a claims process (and we all know about their customer service record) that will wear you down. The cost to reconnect electrical service is currently at $5,000. Of course AT&T needs weeks to review the claim and make this right while in the meantime my daughter had to arrange for time off work to hire contractors to fix the problem. Imagine if you will the result if a Hosparus patient were living in the home and all power was lost for day and no action, not even a courtesy call, from AT&T? Medical appliance running on electrical power lost and where would that person go?
