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. The company's gateway acts as a modem and provides Wi-Fi coverage, although those with large homes may need optional Wi-Fi extenders for whole-house coverage.

When I signed up for DirecTV (owned by AT&T) in July, I was trying to lower my bill as my 24 month contract was up from U-verse. I also have 3 phones on their wireless plan for 15 years, internet and home phone. I was given things I didn't ask for and the pricing was not as promised. I was given a tablet that was supposed to be .99. (I didn't need it and ask about activation and monthly fees.) I was totally lied to and charged both. I was also promise a gift card that I never received. I have made no less than 10 calls (20 min to 1 hr and 20 min each) over the last few months straightening out issue after issue. I have not been told the truth even once nor has anyone followed through 100% with what they tell you.
I have a folder with chat records, names and ID numbers and notes, printout from bills, that you would not believe. I just received a follow-up call from feedback support from someone who sounded like they were drunk or mentally challenged that kept repeating the same phrase. I almost thought I was talking to a robot. I have retold my story for the last time. My next step will be to an attorney. This company has to be stopped. It can't just be me that this is happening to. I am at my wit's end. I have thyroid cancer and am supposed to avoid stress so I am done with the calls. When my contract is up or before if my attorney tells me to stop paying, I will NEVER use them again and tell everyone I can this story.
I swear they are trained to string you along and hope that you blindly pay the bill and don't have the time to call them every month. It is criminal and needs to stop. Google AT&T and gift cards and look at the people who never received them. I don't need their $100 but when you offer something, you need to follow through. My trust has been broken. If someone from the company would like to fix my issues... Oh, never mind, I regress... LOL... No more BS.

AT&T provides the absolute worse internet service. Not just in Texas, but South Carolina also. Pay for 45 mbps in Texas & receive an average of 13 mbps. MAJOR RIPOFF!!!! Problems are NEVER resolved with AT&T.

I had a tech come out to help with cable problems my husband had gotten hung up on. Several times during his hour lunch break. When I got home from work I called tech support. They did a bunch of BS over the phone. I knew the box was bad since we have had it since we moved in to our house 7 years ago and no lights were turning on. They decided to send a tech for the next day and told me numerous times I would get text to inform me who was coming. I received a phone 20 min before the tech arrived, that was all. Then when he got here he was not welcoming, remember my husband is at work and I am here by myself and my 7 year old friendly dog. A man shows up, my dog meets him outside and is smelling him while he is petting her and I am assuring him she is incredibly friendly. He then tells me I have to lock my 7 year dog (who is a daughter to me) in a bedroom. It is policy.
I have never heard this and my mother in law who live 2 blocks over had her 2 dogs running around a week ago while the tech was over her house. I was trying to work with him and said I would let her out back. But he refused. So I told him to leave. As a woman and an unknown man trying to come in your house I thought that was a good option. I guess not according to AT&T policy. I guess I was supposed to lock my dog of 7 years in a room while a man double my size was in my house. No chance. I asked him to leave. I was extremely upset, called customer service and got hung up on. Moral of the story I explained the story to my husband and Comcast is coming in 2 days and they are ok with our dog.

I have paid my phones off over 2 weeks ago and have been trying to unlock them ever since to no avail. I have been passed around, from one department to another. I have been an excellent paying customer for over 6 years, I have had all their products from DirecTV, to Uverse. I would never recommend their services to anyone. I have filed a complaint with the FTC.

I have never posted a review of any type but I have hit my limit with AT&T. This is the worst provider of internet service I have ever experienced. We have DSL from AT&T since it is the only game in town (even though uverse cable runs just past our neighborhood). Our entire neighborhood's DSL service is beyond terrible. We have collectively complained for years with no results.
For the past 3 months our service has been practically nonexistent. It works at very low speeds maybe 10% of the time and the other 90% nothing at all. Various neighbors have had AT&T out more times than I can count but nothing ever improves, if anything it gets worse. At my insistence they sent someone out yesterday but it happened to be part of the 10% of the time it was working. The technician was a genuinely good guy and wanted to try to help. I insisted to him that something was wrong in the neighborhood. He promised that he would check the "box" of the neighborhood as he left and to call me if he found anything.
About 30 minutes later he called as promised and told me that the interior of the box was soaking wet. He promised that he would report this to his supervisor to try to get the problem handled. I then reported this to the neighborhood (we have an email chain) and was surprised to find that on at least two other occasions others had technicians tell them the box was full of water and that was causing at least part of the problem. Apparently there is no coordination or desire to fix what has previously been recognized as a long term problem. I never thought I would miss Time Warner.

I ordered service on the internet and get a call from a car. They cancelled my package for no reason and replaced the internet service that was bundled with the directv package. When ATT rep. Showed up to install the equipment, he said they could not do it as told.

Recently I got U-Verse. After trying several time at other addresses they managed to get the DSL line close enough, something AT&T was not able to do before. Of course the installation took two weeks. They came, they left everything upside down for 2 weeks then they came back to figure out that it was not provisioned. We got the business package for $100 a month, our max speed is 15.5 mbps. Comcast was giving us 40 to 60 mbps at $80.00 per month.
Then it came the time to configure the router. AT&T provides a router that runs proprietary, wide open no firewall or ways to set one up for it does not support to be used as a bridge. The router forces a NAT and a double NAT will not work at all. So now we're stuck with a slow internet connection paying more every month with a cancellation fee and a router supposedly for business that is wide open even disclosing passwords and the full network topology. Pathetic security. Changing the admin password will not make a bit of a difference because besides the fact that you can reset it with the password printed on the device, AT&T has a back door access to rewrite the config file at any point killing all your network settings.

Was told last Saturday I'd have wifi service today. Never showed but I'm supposed to pay $99. And then had to reschedule my day again to have them come out tomorrow and charge me another $99. And to show sympathy they offered me $10 off.

I have the bundle package with U-verse, Home phone, internet and DirecTV that costs me roughly around over $280 monthly. I called in August to get bill reduced by taking off premium channels like Starz, HBO, etc. I did not have service those services since August but was still charged for them. I received my September bill and called the company where I was told there was no record of this conversation but I felt it should have reflected from my services being changed instead of me being credited back.
They told me that I would see the changes on my account in September. Okay, here we are in December and I still have an outrageous bill. I have explained to them time and time again I cannot afford these prices. My job will be ending soon and I have been trying to reduce my account amount since August. This is ridiculous. Oh yeah they put $40.91 on hold which I should not have. They must have agents that don't know what they are doing this and I am still being charged a penalty on it. They appear to be money hungry even when they are wrong.

They can't get billing right to save their lives. I've spent a couple hours every month for the past 3 months trying not to get overcharged for the "free" movie channels I never ordered and that I canceled. Every month they assure me they've fixed it and every month on my bill they've overcharge my account - the icing on the cake, they even add late fees on portion of bill I was instructed to deduct when I paid, services I neither owed nor paid! 1 star is too much! This has been a nightmare. DirecTV basic channels are poor unless you like lots of shopping channels.

Just received a call about our cable service. We told the caller we use Time Warner and he said he was with Time Warner and was looking at our account. He wanted to offer us a "premium" deal with more features at less cost. So, we said we'd listen. He transferred us to a product manager who said he was with AT&T and DirecTV. Totally dishonest and deceitful.

I was promised faster internet speeds... The AT&T technician even came in and changed the port, changed the outdated router that I had 6 years ago, and check everything outside such as which wires are causing the interruptions, even changed my Ethernet cable to have only experienced 0 PROGRESS! This is completely outrageous! No matter what I do as to blacklisting devices that I don't want in terms of my gaming experiences for MAC FILTERS LIST, it seems to have no progress. I basically blocked every other devices from the router, and still no PROGRESS WHATSOEVER... I've been a loyal customer of AT&T for 7-8 years now and this is the thanks I get as a customer... THANKS A LOT. NOT... I wish there was 0 stars. They definitely do NOT deserve even 1 star from me. This is completely unsatisfactory.

We called AT&T on Wednesday 11/23/2016, the day before Thanksgiving because our AT&T Uverse was not coming on. We spoke with a call center in India Which the time and days are ahead of the USA. Was told we would get a new modem to watch UVerse TV on Saturday. It is now Sunday and no modem when promised. Called them back and was told we would get modem today. No modem yet. Called them back and was sent a tracking number. The tracking number says the modem will be delivered on Tuesday 11/29/2016. We have no recourse at this point.
We are at the mercy of AT&T unfortunately till our contract is up the end of December 2016. Only one more month and we will cancel internet, Uverse TV and 2 cell services and never look back on a company that only cares about saving money by giving our jobs out to other countries that don't care about keeping customers happy and staying with the company. I'm ashamed to know AT&T is ashamed to give US citizens a job. After reading the review, I'm ashamed to tell anyone I have AT&T!

My wife has AT&T Uverse before we met and she moved in with me after we got married. I canceled her service in August 2016 by calling and going into an AT&T Store (as we were told on the phone to go to the AT&T store to turn in the equipment and cancel the account). The AT&T store said we had to go the UPS store which we did. In September I got a bill showing the service was still active. She called and was told they received all the equipment required was received in early August. They said they would give us a credit and don't pay. In October we got the same bill with another month of service and called again only to be told the same thing. Again today, we got a bill showing a 98.25 credit with a past due amount of 236.87. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR AT&T. I have had Comcast (now Spectrum) and the service is excellent. I am also canceling my AT&T phone service and going back to Verizon.

Completely negative experience through the entire start up process. I started my order online on 11/07/16, picked my service (TV&Internet) and installation date for 11/18/16. I set my Xfinity services to end 11/19/16. No one showed up on 11/18 and I called, there was errors on my account and there was delays from the online orders and required $100 payment for Uverse and $21.95 for DirecTV. I paid and AT&T had to cancel and reopen a new account and got a new date for 11/21/16.
Monday the 21st came and again no one showed up. I called, there was still errors and need to cancel and reopen my account again. At this point I was frustrated, they didn't offer anything for the delay on their end. I got a new date for 12/09/16 after I spent nearly two hours. I kept getting promises that they'll try getting a new date. I called once again on the 22nd to see if I could get a new date, due to holidays around the corner, the best they can do was 11/28/16. I called Xfinity right after, they sent someone with new equipment on the 23rd at 9 am sharp. I had to cancel the services with AT&T. I didn't understand after so many errors and their end, I kept getting put at the end of the line each time. I've never felt so frustrated with trying to get something simple as internet!

I used to have AT&T/Directv combined building. I discontinued my service with AT&T effectively Sept. 2, 2016. AT&T continued to charge me for the next two months for services I no longer had. After calling in 3 times, I finally spoke with Laurel who properly disconnected my service. I was credited for the amount of non-service which left me a balance of over 100.00. I paid that bill and received a bill from Directv which stated no payment was made on my behalf.
I called in once again to straighten this issue. I spoke with Richie from AT&T who was RUDE beyond comparison to me and the Directv representative who was also on the line. Richie never listened to either of us and constantly interrupted both of us. His supervisor, Rickey was a little better; when I asked for his badge number, he refused to give it to me. I got it anyway. It is RC 1949. Both of them need classes in customer service. The Directv representative could really teach them how to listen to the customer. AT&T should be ashamed of who they are hiring and how poorly they are trained to adhere to customer requests. I never will go back to AT&T, but I will forever remain a DIRECTV customer.

Long story short... RUN! Tried them out, was horrible! Canceled within the 30 day trial and they continued to bill us for months! I have been on the phone with them 5 times (literally) and they assure me that it's being taken care of and that we are canceled. The next month we get a larger bill and late notices. Last call was 90 mins long. I was promised by a manager that this would all be resolved. That was 3 weeks ago. Today we got a notice that they sent us to a collection agency! We have perfect credit! Now I can let them ruin our credit or pay the bill? Isn't that called stealing? I have filed a complaint with the consumer protection agency. Worse yet, there are over 25,000 complaints about this very issue online and my brother just told me he had the same problem and ended up paying over $200.00 for ZERO services just to save his credit. Save yourself!

Long story short, had U-verse for a year with no problems other than very slow internet. After my 1 year deal was up I called to upgrade from U300 to U450. Instead of upgrading my channels they knocked out almost all of my channels. After 8 days 20 phone calls, 4 visits from technicians, 2 online chats, numerous unreturned calls from supervisors, and an incredible amount of misinformation I am giving up. I was with Comcast for a long time and thought their customer service was bad, however they both compete very hard to be the worst. At least Comcast internet was faster and I was never without cable.

I am extremely frustrated with the service!!! I was trying to switch my mothers' U-verse account to a regular AT&T phone, and it took me forever to find out what needs to be done and the cost. We decided not to do a switch, as it was not worth it and I called to cancel the order. They gave me a conf number, and I called again to confirm that everything will stay the way it is. However, my mother's phone stopped working in a few days. We've been on the phone with AT&T for a week every day for several hours trying to restore the service. They sent a technician, but nothing worked. I called today to cancel phone service for my mom, and have been transferred 3 times, and the last person just hang up on me after keeping on hold for 20 min. I cannot even cancel after all!!!

I was totally scammed. The salesman rang my doorbell and told me that I could have cable for the same price I was already paying for my landline and internet. I told him that I wasn't interested in cable. I get 17 channels through my antenna. But he said it'd be free for two years because I'd be "bundling" my AT&T services and while it would cost about $54/year more, I'd be entitled to a $100 Visa gift card. Still, I told him I'd only be interested if I could get TCM, ESPN and CNN. He said I would! Ok, sounded too good to be true (it was) so I said "what if I want to cancel?" He said no problem, there's no cancellation fee, just wait to cancel until after installation or he wouldn't get his AT&T commission. In hindsight, this should've been a red flag, but I trusted AT&T.
When I asked to see the channels I would be getting, he said he didn't have a channel guide he could leave me, but ASSURED me that I'd be getting TCM, ESPN & CNN. On installation day, the tech guy destroyed a delicate bush I'd planted and been nurturing for 12 years by carelessly planting a patio chair on top of it which broke ALL of its branches. After 2 hours, it was time to get a lesson in how to work the clicker. That's when I learned I'd been scammed. I had none of the promised channels. No wonder the salesman didn't leave me with a channel guide (he said he only had one copy).
He got his commission and I lost a beloved carefully tended bush. I called his supervisor who told me "We understand that not every customer is going to be happy". I was given no consideration for the fact that I'd been intentionally scammed in order for a salesman to earn a commission. I lost a treasured bush, didn't receive what had been promised, and learned that AT&T doesn't care. Buyer beware.

When trying to determine if AT&T was the best option as an internet service provider... the sales rep (Taylor) finally said "I will throw in basic U-verse". At that point it seemed like a good deal so I agreed to the service. After the installation (this was done at my grandchildren's apartment not my home) they found that they had internet only. When I called to find out how they were to use their U-verse I was told I did not have that package. I asked that they pull up my original conversation (they say they are monitored for quality assurance purposes, right?) but was told they couldn't. Sounds like old time trickery to me. :(

I'm a customer of 20+ years. I purchased a BluRay/DVD player to get Netflix. It lock my network and I called AT&T for support. Each of 3 calls were directed overseas and the conversation was nearly inaudible. When the voice situation was under control, a lengthy sales pitch was delivered about other products... all 3 times. I just wanted to fix what I broke, not talk about products I don't need or want. This company is way too big. I resent having to talk to a robot for the amount of money I spend each month (335.00). It is unnecessary to be given a different number because you selected the wrong prompt number (which the robot indicated was the choice you wanted) to yet repeat the issue... again. Shame on AT&T for becoming such a technological giant that it loses touch with its client base.

I called to opt out of AT&T UVERSE before my trial period ended. We had extensive problems. I was informed by customer service that if I allowed them to repair the service, they would refund all payments since I subscribed to the service. I had numerous technicians work on the system with no avail. I called the overseas customer support, and was informed that I would have to pay for any further service calls. I could not get them to understand that my service was never repaired. They would not send out anyone else for repairs.
I wrote email after email to sales, customer service, etc. Nothing happened. I finally received a flyer and called the sales department and they transferred me to a person who gave me a tier 2 repair number to call. I called and a tier 2 tech came out. He found that my system had been improperly installed. By now it was the one year anniversary of the installation. He recommended I request a full refund. I had not been able to use my fax, had terrible internet, and my system froze up to 50 times a day, and had to be reset up to 25 times a day. I had no HD signal.
A month later, I have more freezes than ever, and my system now loses internet regularly. I requested AT&T refund my money and remove the system. They were to respond with 5 days according to the customer service individual. Nothing has ever been done. I was supposed to get 75mb bandwidth. When I have internet service 43mb is the best I have ever gotten.
They have raised the monthly fee by nearly $75 after the contract period ended. I have requested the system be removed. I can get no response except run around. You will find that there is no place to call but overseas, and no one there has cared about repairing my service. I will never recommend that anyone use this service. If you do, make certain you have all their US customer service and sales numbers. I still cannot find them.

I have had to call customer service several times and they are very nice. I have no problems with that. My problem is that the connection drops constantly. I will be in the middle of watching something (usually when I am watching DVR) and it will just freeze and stop for no reason. As someone wrote before I don't understand why this keeps happening to a service that the cables were underground. The weather is always perfect when this happens so there really no need for it. It is making me miss my Directv dish! I really expected more from Uverse. Oh, on a related note one night I wanted to watch something I recorded and surprise! All my recordings were gone.

I'm not big on writing reviews, but this is the worst company I have ever received services from. AT&T is a big joke. My cell phone doesn't get messages till way after the fact. The cable has the nerve to go out sometimes and it's not even dish. The wifi is the ABSOLUTE WORST!!! This is a total rip off that unlimited package crap. I suppose it may as well be unlimited because you barely get any service. The Wifi never works. I have a Ethernet cable plugged directly into the router and it still does not function properly. The first technician told us to call us if we have any issues. Apparently when it is first installed the person who installed it is suppose to come out and make adjustments. We called him and sent text messages 3 days in a row with no response.
Finally we called the company. Another Technician came out and said we have a bad card and that is why we have no good signal. In response I questioned him and asked how a new install could have a bad card. He simply shrugged his shoulders and his was we just install whatever the company gives us. We tested the internet and moments later he informed me that there must be someone in the complex with a strong signal. He said to give it a while and see if what he has done eventually helps. Well the results were the same and he then told him us to get an Ethernet cord and basically good luck. Also when you call and complain they tell you if a tech comes out and they think it's your fault then you are charged a service fee. So basically we are paying for a service we cannot use!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE A COMPLETE RIP OFF!!! As a result I can't do my job at home!

I had issues with very slow service for several months and was told on more than 1 occasion that my internet was slow due to us have the slower internet package. After 3rd call they agreed to send out a technician. The technician said there was a problem with something outside and he would have to have someone else come out to fix problem. Whatever technician did was of no help. I called again to customer service and they told me my modem was bad. The representative told me that he would send me new modem but failed to tell me that promotion was void and that there would be a 7.00 monthly charge.
I received my statement today and promptly contacted customer service and spoke with AR and he told me that he would get charge permanently removed but after speaking to his back office they would not remove charge. I was then transferred to itech and again was told that that is one charge they can't adjust. Needless to say I'm not happy and would NOT recommend AT&T to anyone.

I have been a AT&T customer for many many years. Was the first in the neighborhood to get DSL service. U-verse finally became available in my area so I called and decided to take the internet, phone and TV bundle. Was hesitant about the phone part but was assured that a battery backup WAS included with the service... that it was built into the modem itself; was also given a written list of available channels for the TV. They installed everything again assuring me there was a battery backup for the phone. I tried to program the remote but some of the channels that I watch were NOT on the channel guide even though they were on the printed one and then the service started to go on and off and there was no battery backup. Sitting here at 2am with a dead phone was very frightening. It turned itself back on but then a while later it happened again.
Today was a day of wasted phone calls to tech which are utterly useless. I talked to 6 people including a supervisor that told me anything that came to their minds. They said they didn't provide battery backup but I could buy one and pay for installation. I said why when I was promised one would come with it then it was “We'll reboot the modem...” Did nothing. “Is your phone on now?” Duh… “I'm talking to you aren't I?” “Well it must be the line. Call the modem manufacturer.” Ah... “Why call them when you say it's your line?” Then “Well you can always dial 911 anyway.” Ah... not without a dial tone, you can't dial anyone. He repeated that one 3 times and on and on, one stupid thing after the other. Finally after about 4 hours of listening to this nonsense they said they would send someone. Also no reason for missing channels. Was told to go back to Direct. It was cheaper anyway which is what I did.
They came and changed it back to what I had. Tonight the repairman came a real English speaking intelligent person so smiled and opened the one case on the wall... there is NO batteries in it at all and then he opened the modem and there's no batteries in that either. He said that's the way they come and he's never even seen a battery for the modem so the battery backup was a complete outright lie. He put a battery in the one but he said that only does the outside (don't ask) and would do nothing for having me have power for emergency phone.
He said the only real solution was to go ahead and find a battery backup unit and buy one. The phone is still going out when it feels like it… so far once today. Their tech service is nonexistent. Techs know nothing but can read a few sentences off a computer screen and I totally resent being lied to and having services misrepresented. Much more and I'm dumping the whole thing and going with someone else.

It took me 4 days and multiple attempts to place an order. You are placed on automatic hold. My longest wait time was 1 hour when I finally hung up. On the 5th day I finally got a person - yea! So happy. Call went smooth, ordered what I needed and waited 6 days for installation. Took 4 hours off work. Went outside at the scheduled arrival time to greet truck. 20 minutes of waiting and I got a text. "Hey! This is Cameron. I am your technician." I respond back to text msg. "I don't see you. I am outside." No reply. I called his number. No reply. I waited another hour thinking maybe he is on a pole hooking it up? Call AT&T. At the moment of my call I get a text message that says "Sorry I missed you. Call to reschedule."
I spent the next two hours on the phone with 3 different people in 3 different departments. Set up another appointment for the next day. I get another text message "Sorry I missed you. Call to reschedule" 2 hours before the scheduled appointment! I am home and never left. The door was actually open all morning. Obviously this tech is off doing something and just sends out bogus messages. I am livid. Neither time did I get a call or knock on the door. Tried calling AT&T but I was placed on hold for 33 minutes before I hung up. Still no internet. AT&T is my only option. ATT SUCKS!

EVERY month, for 9 months, I've had issues with the combined U-verse DirecTV billing. In order to give me reasonable loyalty pricing, I was told that I had to disconnect and re-establish both my U-verse and DirecTV services (even though I had just set up my U-verse high-speed internet account). Apparently, my first combined billing account was set up improperly, SO... somebody set up a NEW account number, which led to improper application of my PAYMENT for 3 months.
This led to a suspension of my DirecTV services in September, until I was able to navigate the maze of disconnected AT&T departments to determine that my payment was applied to a closed account, a refund check was generated and sent to me (to be received in up to 6 weeks). Once I figured out the misapplication, I had to make 4 independent calls to get the payment properly applied. While the payment was misapplied, AT&T was only too happy to charge me a LATE FEE. Hours of my life later, my service was resumed. That time.
THIS MONTH'S bill was paid EARLY (received by November 10th, due November 12th), applied to the correct U-verse billing account (amazing, considering I had had to research and troubleshoot that three months running). For some unfathomable reason, DirecTV chose to disconnect my service. When I called the AT&T Integrated DirecTV services line, eventually, they were able to restore my service (after spending 3 hours on the phone). They have YET to give me a straight answer as to WHY, in spite of early payment, the disconnect order was issued, assuring me it won't happen again (based on what, who knows). The call required supervisor intervention.
The Arizona call center requires supervisors to approve service transactions, but operators do not provide supervisor operator numbers. Operators transfer calls to their supervisor, assure the customer that their supervisor is sitting at their desk ready to receive the call, only for the customer to be on MUSIC HOLD again, for several minutes prior to disconnect. When the customer calls back, (s)he has to call back, wait through a several minute wait queue and start the process over EVERY TIME.
Then, when the 'supervisor' is messaged to call back the customer, once again apparently ignoring the call-back message, the whole annoying process starts all over again. After all is said and done, when customer service is incapable of answering the root cause of the service disruption, the customer is told there are no other avenues to pursue an explanation. It seems AT&T has a policy of hiding inadequate fragmented customer service behind an anonymous corporate veil.

Horrible experience with AT&T from the get-go. Signed up for "bundle" and got extremely unethical high billing, with hidden charges and outright violation of contract agreements. I got out of the contract and dropped Directv which was a major overcharging issue. From there month after month, overcharges on everything, like a shell game juggling act, always extra fees and charges. AT&T would switch the phone charge every month, then the modem charge, then the internet service, so that it would often appear twice what it was supposed to be. They would send me online statements of what was due and it never matched the online bill and it never matched the printed statements sent to us. Would spend sometimes 2 hours on the phone each month to get the bill adjusted to where it was supposed to be but it was increased every single month again with so many additional charges.
I recorded every call and got everything on video. Every time I spoke with an agent, they would try to "fix" it and tell me everything should be okay from that point on but every month it was the same - always charging more. The AT&T billing is underhanded and charges extra, hiding the fees and creating a very complex billing system so it is very difficult to follow unless you stay on top of it. How and why they get away with so much robbery is beyond reason. Will take it to the Better Business Bureau although I don't know how much good it will do.

I called AT&T today to see what they could do about my $80.00 U-verse bill (I also have a separate account with them which has 25gb of data, 2 phones and a hotspot), but Time Warner is offering $40.00 a month for faster speeds than what I currently have. The guy was quick to cancel my account despite me telling him this information. I called back to talk to a manager about how dissatisfied I was with that approach and she told me I would have to pay a fee to reconnect. You would think that someone who spends hundreds of dollars a month would be treated a bit better, but apparently that is not the case.
She could have waived the reconnect fee, for something I wasn't fully ready to disconnect in the first place, and offered me a better deal, which working years in the cellular industry I know is entirely possible. However, they didn't care. They cancelled, told me I had to pay to reconnect and continue paying for a service that is TWICE as much as their competitors. No worries. Time Warner here I come.

I've been a loyal customer for many years, with no real complaints. However, I received my bill and notice it was quite a bit more than usual - $134 more. It appears my granddaughter (age 7) ordered 39 on-demand movies over a few weekends; 18 of the movies on one day and many duplicate movies (even though it's a 2 or 3 day rental, but again she's 7).
I called to speak with a representative to ask to waive these fees. She explained that she couldn't remove the fees because on-demand are purchases intended to be viewed. I agree, she did want to watch it, but she didn't know there's a fee for on-demand, even if you selects 'OK' on the screen, she still isn't aware these channels are not free. Well the representative would not budge. I told her there's a few duplicate movies, she said it wasn't. I pointed out which movies were duplicates, still NOTHING.
I asked for her manager, she explained she is the supervisor, I still would like to speak to your manager. After a 20 minutes wait, the manager tells me the same thing, it can't be removed. I told her it was completely unreasonable to think she watched 18 movies in one day. She said she couldn't tell me what was or was not unreasonable. We went back and forth for a while, but she wouldn't remove the fees, either. None of the fees. She told me I should have block the On-Demand channels. Well, didn't think of that, seeing that the 7 year old is just staying with grandma for the weekend(s).
Every movie is a children's movie, asked for a time stamp on when each movie was order, because I'm pretty sure she watched 10 minutes and selected another movie; the manager couldn't provide that. She ended with, there's nothing I can do, is there anything else I can assist you with. REALLY! Well, I guess they're not in the business of customer service and don't really care about loyalty. WHY SHOULD I???

I called AT&T today to check on cable and internet rates. An operator by the name of Max talked to me for 47 minutes this morning. By far Max was the worst salesman I have ever talked to. He was aggressive, condescending, very rude, and made you feel "stupid" for not taking his offer. Not only would Max not let me speak, he tried to back me into a corner when I wouldn't take his offer. I am 56 years old and have never experienced a person like this. Just wanting an estimate from AT&T so my husband and I could discuss and make a decision turned into a scary, traumatic experience. I am considered a strong person by my friends, and I was literally made to feel afraid and scared by this person. I would never have thought that calling an AT&T operator would make someone feel this way.
Not being able to complete this 47 minute nightmare of a call (Max does not allow you to speak more than 3 words before he aggressively talks over you) I literally had to set the phone down while Max continued to belittle me for not taking his offer. If this experience I had with AT&T sounds crazy, I agree with you. It was the craziest conversation you have ever heard.

My TV and internet service started on 8/6/2016. I ordered the 45 MB internet service and U-200 cable TV package. I was promised the following: Internet for $30 and TV for $60. HBO and Cinemax was free for 3 months. My package was special local pricing which was confirmed through Brian ** at the Aurora/ Naperville store. Once I combined my existing wireless service, I would then receive a $10 deduct from my bill.
I started to receive my bills for the above noted services. They were beyond the price what was promised. I contacted customer service numerous times to have this resolved, and they would either provide credits and tell me next month's billing will reflect the original agreement, however, after three months of billing cycles and continuous incorrect bills, this issue was not resolved.
On 10/15/2016, I spoke to a gentleman at customer retention, explained my issue in detail again, and was told that I should cancel my service and they will start me with a new plan the following day. However, he did not give me the details of the new plan. I refused and asked for his supervisor. I was promised someone would call me on the following day. No call. I called back, and was told the system was down, and the person on the phone could not access my file or place any noted, however, for some reason he was able to tell me details of my issue. I received no callback.
On 10/17/2016, I spoke to Becky at for 23 minutes and Christina for 16 minutes discussing the incorrect billing. The phone was disconnected on both occasions and I received no callback. I called the customer retention department and spoke to an Aryan for 25 minutes. Her only goal was to put me in another package, but not honor the original agreement. After numerous long pauses on her end she switched me to the Family Plan without my authorization and telling me she will do this, then the phone mysteriously disconnected, and she did not call back. Then I tried calling back, and the department was closed. The plan she switched me to has less channels but from the bill it was more expensive than what I had. This was even confirmed by Mr. Brian **, Mr. William **, Nikki (customer retention department- **).
On 10/24/2016, I spoke at length with Nikki (ID number **), He indicated that he did see the issue with the billing, spoke to his supervisor and indicated that we will come to a conclusion on this once his supervisor's supervisor gives approval. He promised that he will have this issue resolved, and that he will call me the next day and he was not the type of person not to call back. We set a time and date for the call, I received no call. I called back later that week, and spoke to someone at customer retention, they indicated they will open an file claim case on the issue, and I was to expect a call back on 10/22/2016. On 10/22/2016, I received no call.
On 10/26 or 10/27, I called back and spoke to Grace. Grace indicated that they have reached a conclusion, and that my bills will be restored to what was originally agreed upon. Furthermore, I reviewed the costs with her twice, if not three times and she confirmed. I then asked when my U-200 TV channels would be restored so I can watch the news, she said in two hours, I waited, and no restoration of U-200 TV channels.
On 10/28/2016, I spoke to Shelly (**), she disputed everything Grace had told me then proceeded to tell me that I cannot get the original pricing, because that has expired and she tried again to put me in a new plan which was far more expensive than the original. I asked her to open a case file, and she did (Case #**). On 10/31/2016, I called to see the status of the case file. Spoke to Deshanique. She indicated the case file was closed, and there is no dispute. I received no response the status of the case file.
On 10/31/2016, I visited the AT and T store in Aurora, IL and spoke with the person who took the order. He remembered me and remembered the special local pricing. He contacted customer loyalty while I was there and he was also disconnected with no callback. He indicated he will contact his supervisor and that I should get a call back the next day. He also informed me that he had another customer with the same issue, and the manager contacted AT and T and they were able to provide the pricing promised. I received no call. On 11/2/2016, I revisited the store and spoke to William **, the store manager. He indicated that he cannot do anything, unless he has access to Brian ** order. He indicated that I should receive a call on Thursday 11/3. I received no call.
On 11/3/2016, I revisited the store and met with Brian ** and William **, who both happened to be in the store. Brian reconfirmed the original pricing and indicated that those numbers were on his IPAD when he put the order in. I asked Brian if this is a common issue with AT and T, and he indicated that lately it has been the case. I spent a great deal of time, waiting while William ** was on the phone with AT and T, only to tell me they cannot honor the pricing and they wanted to put me into a more expensive package. I refused and indicated that I will be switching my service to Comcast due to what clearly appears to be shady practices by AT and T. I indicated that I will not pay the early cancellation fees as AT and T has not honored their contract. I was told that he does not have authorization for this, but the area manager, Ms. Michelle ** will call me on 11/7/2016.
To summarize, AT and T has not honored their original agreement. The original agreement was confirmed by Mr. Brian ** (sales person who placed the order), Nikki and Grace. AT and T has downgraded my service to a Family Channel, and I am still paying more for my service for this downgrade. At this point, I plan on cancelling my services with AT and T for internet and cable. AT and T will have to cover the expenses for the early termination fee, as I never received what was promised. Lastly, I am seeking $5,500 for all the time that I have spent dealing with AT and T's deceitful practices (as confirmed by AT and T's employee, Brian **).

Last year, AT&T U-Verse Internet was providing about 1/8 the speed that they promised with the package I was paying for. It took about six months for them to fix the issue -- they sent three technicians out, each of whom, patched the problem instead of fixing it. After multiple calls and complaints, I finally got a local manager's number and he was very helpful. He sent out a technician and they found that there was a major problem with the lines, and that they needed to fix about a city block's worth of wire. This tech finally took the time to fix it. Voila, fast internet, after 6 months of paying for internet speeds I didn't receive. Until about a month ago, it started happening again. Netflix can't even load. I was trying to open simple sites and it was taking 2-3 minutes to open, and then wouldn't even open with all the data.
I'm a VERY busy person, and I don't have time to waste an hour on the phone with AT&T, and then waste an afternoon waiting for a technician to come out, so I just waited, hoping the issue would get resolved...that maybe it was a local issue or something. But finally decided to call, and I told the customer service rep right away that I've had these issues before, I didn't want to waste time going through all the rigmarole with the rigged AT&T speed test, and wanted to just get a tech out to fix it. And the customer service rep was like, OK and then proceeded to do the whole basic test. She sent me to http://speedtest.att.com/speedtest/ which showed about 20 mbps download, but I went right to a few other speed test sites that showed about 2 mbps download speeds. Wow!!! Rigged much!?! Anyway, she said, since it was going fast, they could send someone out, but they would have to charge me for the service.
I went to a few sites like Google and other simple sites, and it was much faster than it had been just this morning. So I responded that just because it's not super slow this exact second, you won't send someone out to fix it, even though it's been intermittently slow for the last MONTH! And she said some other excuse so I asked for her "manager", who repeated exactly what she said, and by the way, was at some call center in India (obvious from the thick accent, script-like verbiage and the fact that he was obviously not given the permission to make decisions by himself).
So, here I am, a VERY BUSY PERSON (I'm an IT Manager), and I have a small time frame to call AT&T to get help for this intermittent issue, and they're sitting here telling me they're going to charge me to send out a tech to fix this, just because the issue isn't happening right this second. Ok. AT&T just won the worst service of the year award. I'm wondering if I have any legal options at this point, and am open to suggestions on how to start a case.

We recently switched to AT&Tina Uverse from Comcast when our service commitment was up for the big price difference. We thought, "Ok, we will save some money." However, the internet connection is horrible where we are at. Since the very beginning, it had been horrible. Today I called AT&T to see if there is anything they can do to help the connection. The lady asked for me to run a speed test. Once it was done she very sternly implied, "your connection is above standards."
I was very annoyed at this point and I responded with the truth, "You know ma'am, my mom has AT&T Uverse in Downtown Houston, and she never seems to have the troubles we have here, and when I had Comcast, the pricing was different, but at least the internet connection was solid. With you guys we cannot even watch Netflix and use our wireless phone connection without running into a problem. Two simple things and we have a problem. I live across the street from the main AT&T box in my area and no joke, I see someone from your business out here almost every other day looking at this box. I know you guys get tons of complaints in this area." She then proceeded to tell me technical support is trying to fix the problem.
My point is this, why would a huge company like AT&T provide the lowest standards of service for one area, like where I live, and provide better service to other areas, like Downtown Houston? My answer is, because they can and the people that own the company are looking out for number one. I would not recommend AT&T to anyone. I would at least recommend that you ask what the service is like in your area before even considering going with them, because I know the prices can be appealing. But believe me, you have to be in the right area to get good service.

This is about my horrible, horrible experience with the DSL Broadband Internet and phone bundle because U-Verse is not available in my area. Still worth the read if you want to know just how infuriated I am with these greedy idiots at AT&T. AT&T sucks so much. I’ve talked to at least 4 customer service reps, scheduled appointments with two technicians, and spent a grand total of 5+ hours on the phone with them. Why? All because I was trying to get the internet to work again.
For the past couple of months, the wifi would go down at the most inconvenient times, usually around 3 am when I’m trying to fit in some studying time. The bigger issues were solved because I insisted (quite angrily. I mean, I did practically scream into the phone after they had me repeat the exact same situation five million times -___-) that they check the landlines outside, which they made out to seem like the greatest inconvenience to them (it’s your ** job. Get the ** over yourselves). We still have minor blackouts for a couple of minutes, only to have it up and running again. Probably gonna have to call them again to get them to check that landline. No, I do NOT care that you just changed the wiring or some ** like that. You’re gonna fix this problem and do it now because I’m paying a whopping $120 per MONTH for your ** service, so get busy.
The only reason why I haven’t switch to Comcast Xfinity (since that’s literally the only other major provider in my area, which is ** considering the fact that I live in Silicon Valley -___-) is because of their customer service. It’s not just that I’ve heard the horror stories of those demon reps putting you on hold for 3+ hours. I’ve had to deal with that when I called for a friend who spoke very little English.

When I call their Customer NoService Department, I normally have to speak to at least two people and explain myself from the beginning. It is the same song-and-dance, "You should turn on, turn off your router," and/or "Maybe consider upgrading your service," yada, yada, yada. In other words, they are just trying to figure out a way to put the blame on me, my equipment, or the plan I have chosen.
I autopay $41 per month, the next day after they receive my payment, my service is so much better. It stays that way for maybe a couple of weeks, then as my usage goes up, the speed and reliability plummet. (There are two people in my household, combined, we average 10 GB per month.) Towards the end of the month, it is not uncommon for me to have to reset my router sometimes twice per day. I continually get the message, "You are not connected to the internet."

I set a reminder on my phone so that I would not forget to cancel this trial. I made sure I called and cancelled this package after 42 days of my 90 day trial. At that time I was assured there would be no more charges and I thanked the customer service rep and we hung up. The next month I noticed I charge for HBO that I was told had been removed from my account.
I called again, spoke with the customer service rep. After explaining my case, and being left on several long holds, as he researched to see if I had indeed called and requested the HBO package to be removed after going back thru the notes and finding where I had called and I was due a credit, I was told a credit would be issued. Another month passed and here is my next bill and what did I see? The same charges on another bill! Again I called customer service only to be told that the charges were valid, even though I called and requested HBO package to be discontinued, I should have cancelled it myself online??? After leaving me on hold twice after I asked to speak to a manager the lady finally came back on the phone saying all the managers were on another line but they told her to give me a $50 credit max. After accepting the credit she asked if I was satisfied with the service I was provided and I told her no I was not.
What is the purpose of having a customer service line if you have to follow behind their work and self-service your own account? No to mention she had absolutely no customer service. After this experience I will be looking for another provider. I would not suggest anyone to go with AT&T Uverse. They are overpriced compared to other companies anyway.

AT&T Uverse is the worst company on earth. I had cable with Uverse. The service was very, very poor, so I canceled my service. I returned the box to the designated UPS store. AT&T claimed they did not receive the box. UPS said they sent it. AT&T then decided to take my account to a collection agency, for a box not in my possession. Luckily for me I had the receipt from UPS. I forwarded this information to AT&T. AT&T then proceeded to collect the money for the box from my account, without my authority. This is because I had direct debit with them for my cell phone service. This is for a box that I had posted to them.
I have called AT&T numerous times, and they keep directing me to accounts receivables and customer service. None of them can resolve my issue. I would hope the government does not allow the buyout between AT&T and Time Warner. This will be too big a company. There will be less competitions for the customers. Please never use AT&T again for anything.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket? We were told since childhood, well it is so true. I made the horrible mistake to combine landline and internet and DirecTV, when I lose the internet or the modem fails everything fails! I've been trying for 2 days to fix this with AT&T but no luck; they don't understand English (or anything!) and cannot speak it! What a nightmare, of course the congress doesn't do anything because they get everything for free!

Poor "out of USA" customer service. We had DSL for years w/ AT&T - not great but it worked most of time. Recently became very poor so called and told they don't support DSL anymore - need to change to U-verse. Reluctantly I did even after reading all the "bad customer service" comments listed here. I wrote down everything they said for billing. Get first U-verse bill and it's about what they said.
Then I get another AT&T bill and it's same as prior AT&T bill charging me again for DSL. I call and get someone who spoke "off shore" language that I spent an hour listening to - asked 3x for a English speaking person - could not do as no one there. She tried to tell me to just wait till I get another bill and see what it says - could not tell me for it would be for. She could not confirm the fact we had paid for Uverse. After the hour of getting no where, I hung up and pray that going to a AT&T store in person works better. Really a shame such an American company has left the USA to supposedly help their customers. Just be aware!

I've got to say I have loved DirecTV, UNTIL they were bought out by AT&T. Their customer service reps are awful, and most can barely speak English. AT&T has always had awful customer service reps, which is why I left their cellular service years ago. I spoke with AT&T/DirecTV two months ago, because my bill was $280 a month for phone, internet, and TV. Directv credited my bill so that my monthly bill would be $160 a month. Well needless to say, the following month, AT&T screwed up my bill and once again requested I owe $280 a month, not the $160 they previously agreed upon.
After about an hour on the phone, with seven different reps (one of which who hung up on me when I asked to speak to her boss) I finally spoke with someone who was able to tell me that they had screwed up, and would credit my bill as it was originally discussed two months prior. Completely ridiculous how many people you have to talk to in order to get a rather simple issue resolved. I absolutely despise calling these people, as they obviously need to hold a large training seminar to handle customer issues. I'm shocked they have not gone bankrupt years with their inefficient customer services department.

We had Uverse installed in our home over 3 months ago. As of today, we still have wires running through our yard and up the driveway. I have the installers, their supervisors etc and still no results. Tonight as you can imagine in Halloween where we will have little ones running through the yard and AT&T wires everywhere. We have phoned customer service on numerous occasions only to find the representatives are in another country and have no idea what we are referring to. Every number you call you get the same automated run around and then the clueless representative. I caution anyone who goes with AT&T. Go with a local provider who you can speak with and understands your concerns.

I left Comcast and tried U-verse. Then Comcast gave me a great deal once my U-verse deal ran out. I was with Comcast for about 1 month and couldn't take it anymore. The issues were massive and they were rude. So, I went back to U-verse. We were working well together until they started to go offline. I know something happens at 1 a.m. because like clockwork, it goes down. Now, I'm having to reset it no less than 5-6 times a day. What makes it worse is I have to go back and set the WPA and then the box. This is outrageous. My bill is astronomical and I can't rely on using it for anything. I wish they would credit our account when service goes down. Maybe they'll get a clue as to how bad things have gotten with them. When I call they try to push DirecTV.

I changed my service so that I could bundle my tv, internet and telephone service to which I got a wonderful rate for the first 6 months... then it doubled in price and for months I had to call them every month because I could not afford my bill any longer. I called them to see if there was anything I could do to lower my bill and make payment arrangements. I let them know I was a senior on a fixed income and I needed to drop whatever services I needed to in order to make my payments on time and not to be disconnected.
A LOT OF STRESS and at this rate I was not going to be homeless so I can pay my cable bill. They apparently did not understand because they raised my service instead and my bill doubled again, faced with a $400 bill again. I have to make payment arrangements to pay again. I called them and asked to have my service lowered and told again that my bill would lower to $145 a month along with service however 6 weeks later they disconnected me in the middle of the night.
When I called this time my bill was $498.63 and they told me since I had the highest service you could get my bill went way up...

I have wasted hundreds of dollars and my precious time on disputing my account with representatives from AT&T and U-Verse and DirecTV. I was paying $205 a month and went for a simple upgrade when the salesperson offered me DirecTV for $10 extra. I accepted and took the offer. The first 2 months my bill was $700 plus $60 for DirecTV. When I went back, he said there was a mistake and they will reimburse me for it. After 4 months and more high bills for $500 I went back and he said it will take up to 6 months to get my money back.
It has been 8 months now and my bill is $40 over what I was promised. After 4 trips to AT&T and two and half hours on the phone with several AT&T reps, I was told that I am under a contract with DirecTV for another year and 4 months and can't get out of it unless I pay $375 to move over to another company. This is the thanks I get for being a loyal customer for 20 years. I am not sure who thought of this DirecTV plan but it's a rip-off. DO NOT GO TO AT&T SPECIALLY DIRECTV OR UVERSE PLAN - THEY WILL EMPTY YOUR POCKETS.

I was thrilled when Uverse finally became available in our area - previous AT&T wi-fi was bad. If 3 devices were in use at once, one would freeze and the others were very slow. When we switched to Uverse, we had high expectations and it's been a HUGE disappointment. Great installation, very professional - no problems there. But the speed offered is as bad as previous wi-fi. Apps hang up every day multiple times. Why did I do to the trouble of switching for no improvement in speed or reliability? Not worth it! Uverse solved no problems for us.

I just got off the phone with a DirecTV agent concluding my 7 year relationship with ATT/U-verse/DirecTV. I can safely say that this has been the worst buying experience of my entire life. 4 years ago, my wife and I would compliment U-verse to everyone that we knew. Even bragging about the quality of service that we received. Then one day out of the blue last year they called me asking if I wanted to proactively lower my prices. Little did I know that this was a scam to get us into a two year contract that was not stated at the time.
Over the last year we have had an issue at least once a month. The 18 MB service that we are supposed to get rarely gets past 10mb and the service desk says it's fine. The promotion that they based me under just expired and our rates went up by 80 dollars. The DirecTV service is horrible and the agents are rude and nasty (talking about you Shanikqua).
So today I am leaving for a competitor that will save me over 50% with no contract. Fyi - they are also going to charge me 350 dollars to leave the contracts they conned me into. FYI font size 4 should be illegal. If there is anyone listening from ATT corporate - please make a renewed investment in your integration methodology of new businesses because DirecTV is terrible. Long time client - very unsatisfied.

My dad gets a call from AT&T saying he NEEDS to update his internet. I have absolutely no idea why but they were scheduled to come down on the 15th to install the latest in internet. Prior, my dad had his own router, and I do believe it was with another company. While the internet was slow when multiple devices were in use, it was usable most of the time. Anyway, so I wake up on the 15th. Apparently while upgrading the internet, there was something "wrong" with it, so they left and said they will return when it is fixed, which could have been up to a week. What was worse was that even though they had our old router, they did something to where it wouldn't work. So for the entire day, there was 0 internet. Luckily, they did return at maybe 6 pm that night and installed it. That is the only good thing I can say!
The internet now is worse than it was with our tiny router. They put the router in the garage, which is the furthest room in the house from my bedroom, so wifi is spotty at best, disconnects every few minutes at worst. Then, just last night it cut out completely for about 6 hours. It fades in and out, loads things slowly, and worse is that they took our old router so there was no way for us to revert back! I do not recommend this to anybody. Extremely frustrating, especially when you need the internet for school or actual important things!

If you have an ample amount of time and patience allotted for poor customer service, then you should choose AT&T as your provider.

Brooke basically promised the internet, DirecTV, landline and cell phones would total $225 per month for 24 months. The fourth cell line is also free, according to a very bubbly Brooke.

When you are a natural-born US citizen you speak English. I recently decided to find out if AT&T offered a wireless TV cable box. We have wireless AT&T throughout our house but wanted a wireless box in our entertainment area so there were no wires showing. So of course I had to speak to a customer service person that speaks very little English, hence she has no idea what I am talking about and ended up with the same cable box that we had.
So once again I call Customer Service, this time I get a gentlemen that understands very little English, guess I don't have to repeat myself. He informs me after consulting with someone that AT&T does not have such an item as a wireless TV cable/DVR box. I am very surprised but do not question as I am already frustrated after spending another 30 minutes on the phone with someone that has no idea what I am talking about. He instructs me to go ahead & send back the cable box that was just mailed to me even though serial #'s had been taken from the old to disconnect. I was concerned this was not the thing to do.
So, guess what, tonight I come home & my cable box no longer works. IMAGINE. I call the "new service" line as I know that is the only way to talk to an American, & all that they can offer me is to connect me to Customer Service which is who screwed everything up in the first place.

I'm so disappointed in AT&T and I'm even more disappointed in DirecTV. I have such a long story to tell about these two companies but I'm just so tired of repeating it. I will never go with these companies again. Bad customer services, inaccurate advertisement, and terrible service. Would not recommend this service to anyone and would not want anyone to waste the time I've already wasted. Lost so much time and money with these company. So glad it's all over with.

I received an invitation to join the network at a discount, however, I didn't realize that it was a DSL modem and needed a phone line which my complex did not have. I called the AT&T customer support and they told me to take the device to a corporate AT&T store which I did the next day. At the store I was told that they do not accept returns back and have a deal with UPS to receive returns. They said there was a UPS store across the street. I drove my car there since parking is strict in LA only to realize that the UPS store is closed. I then located an open UPS store, and when I went in there the guy said that their system is down and he cannot take the return. I have a very busy career and personal business and do not have time to run around down and call customer support over and over again. This is a nightmare.

AT&T as an ISP (Internet service provider) is just sad. Their wifi cannot handle 1 laptop and 2 wireless tv receivers without being slow. I'm a gamer I play competitive eSports so ping/latency means EVERYTHING. A good ISP would give me about 20-40 ping MAX. Whereas I'm lucky to get 50 ping with AT&T at 2 am with just my laptop (after I unplugged receivers) and god forbid a phone connects to the Internet goes up to 700 ping... 700 PING! 1 PHONE and I GET 700 ping not to mention just random spikes of ping when I'm home alone or up at 2 am. If I can say 1 thing about AT&T as an isp is they are so bad as an isp. I hate their phone/tv service. Charter over AT&T.

I should have known I was in trouble when it took this company 6 days to do the installation. I have had service for 20 months and had repair at my home 18 times. I swapped a box once and was told 3 months later that I did not return the original box and was charged $168. I had my UPS receipt and proved to them 5 times the box was returned. It took 2 months to clear that up. Never again. I will be going back to Comcast in February. I was with Comcast for 26 years and never had a service problem. But the cost kept going up and I wanted a cheaper bill. I will gladly pay a little more to be worry free.

I accidentally overpaid my AT&T account significantly by almost $2500. I called after I discovered this and was told they would try and reverse my payment or send me a refund. I was told that I would receive an answer from AT&T within 2 days. Two days later I received no response so I called again. I was told there was no record of my call but was assured they would either reverse the payment to my account or issue me a refund check and I would receive the refund check in 5 - 10 business days. I was given a reference number to refer to for my records to verify the issue and track the overpayment of $2,580.
I called two additional times and was told my check was cut on October 5, 2016 and I would receive it within the same time frame. I called again on the 14th to check on the status. I was told that the check never was cut but that it was in processing. I still cannot get an answer as to when my check will be cut. These guys are crooks from Chairman Randall L.

Having problems with tv freezing up. I have 5 tv's hooked up to Uverse. Called for service appointment and talked to a Spanish (I guess) person named William. Told him what my problem was in detail and he suggested that I needed a technician to check into this and set me up an appointment for this afternoon. He was very professional and helpful. A good representative for your company. Right on time I got a call from a technician named Jon to see if I was home.
In a few minutes he was at my door and introduced himself. He discussed with me what his plan was to see what was wrong with my tv reception. He pointed out that some of my exterior equipment and connectors were outdated. This was because my neighborhood was close to the first in Arlington to have fiber optics. Well Jon went through all the exterior wiring and replaced the coax cable with CAT5. All through this call he showed me the noise content that was currently in my signal. It looked like a bunch of drunk ants on his device's screen. After his service, it showed a connected straight line, no noise! Jon did a knocked out job for me and I appreciate his attitude.

I had an issues with my bill from switching my plans. I called to discuss with a representative. First, it was hard to understand the person. She sounded like she was trying to figure out what word in the English language to use. Then when I was not understanding and she was not able to explain it to me, I asked for a Supervisor. She refused to put a Supervisor on with me. She would put me on hold for at least 10 minutes at a time for 4 different times. Every time I would ask to speak with a Supervisor and then she would put me back on hold and never get me the Supervisor. I was polite the entire time. I was standing my ground in requesting a Supervisor.
AT&T is providing a service and I am paying them for that service. I am the customer. They should treat me with better respect than that. I finally hung up after 30 minutes. I called again and spoke with someone else and finally understood my bill. I asked again to speak to a Supervisor just to complain about my previous incident. That person again did not give me a Supervisor to talk to and told me they do not have a Supervisor there. The Supervisor does not come in until 11:00 Central Time. We all know that if you have a business, that there are supervisor available. Needless to say, I will be changing providers when I am able to do so.

This is somewhat of a continuation from my Time Warner experience. I tried calling into order DirecTV, since I had to leave Time Warner/Spectrum. However, I get a sales representative for AT&T U-verse instead of a DirecTV representative. Long story short, I asked the representative for DirecTV cable with Wifi and the sales representative tells me I qualify and sets me up for an installment appointment the very next day. However, once the installer gets to my home, he installs Wifi and a phone through AT&T U-verse only.
I called in to tell AT&T to uninstall the service, because it was not what I'd asked for and they would not send their installer back out to uninstall the equipment. Thus, the AT&T representatives gave me the runaround for a week and just recently sent me a bill for service at 52.00; service I did not ask for and requested them to remove. Till this day, I continue to fight with them to reverse the charges, because they gave me service I did not originally request in the first place.

I was a Uverse customer for two years. I planned to move to a different apartment and since they don't have Uverse as their service provider, I decided to cancel the Uverse service. I called and scheduled the transfer for 15th of Oct. I saw the bill for the month of Oct has been charged for the whole month and I spoke with someone at AT&T over the chat and he confirmed that the connection is scheduled to be cancelled on 15th and I have to pay the bill in full and AT&T will refund the amount later.
This morning I see that I don't have internet. When I called AT&T I learned that they had scheduled it to be canceled on 11th Oct and not on 15th Oct as I had asked to. There was no email confirmation on the same, there was no instructions on how to return the device, which are the usual drill when a connection is canceled. After spending more than 30 mins on chats and waiting on calls and transfers I was told they need to run another credit check to put me back on internet. I have decided to live on my mobile internet (it's again an AT&T connection) for a few days since I can't afford another credit check for someone at AT&T put the dates incorrect.

They then immediately shut down our wifi, and said "we will send a guy out on Monday" (that happened on Friday) to install our 45mg.

I have had the most MISERABLE experience with all aspects of the U-verse/DirecTV/internet customer service. First let me start with U-verse and DirecTV. After AT&T raised the price of my current U-verse package without notifying me, I decided to cancel my U-verse service. They suggested I try DirecTV. With a lot of hesitation, I decided to give DirecTV a try. I scheduled an appointment for a service tech to come and install the DirecTV. Taking time off work, I waited all day for the service tech to show up. The technician finally arrives 2 hours past the allotted 4 hour window and immediately the technician says he needs to reschedule. He said it was simply too late for him, it was getting dark, and he would not be able to do an installation in the dark. I let the technician know that I took time off work and rescheduling was not an option.
He immediately says that DirecTV would not be an option for me because there is a large condo unit next door to me blocking any kind of satellite signal. It seemed to me that he had determined that he was not going to perform the service that day regardless if it could be done or not. Highly annoying, but honestly, not unexpected when you’re dealing with this sort of service. During this whole process of trying to switch/cancel my cable, my internet goes out. After calling technical support and them running all of the necessary tests, it was determined that my internet was not going to fixed and they needed to send out a new modem. An order was placed for a new modem and to my ignorance, I thought it was being sent. A week passes and I still have not received the modem. I call customer service and they say the order was never placed. They apologize for the inconvenience and say they will place a new order.
Seeing as my previous interactions with AT&T have been unfavorable, I called daily to check on the status of the delivery for the modem. Every day they told me the delivery was en route and would be delivered within the next day or two. Today I called and they told me the order was CANCELLED A WEEK AND A HALF AGO! How in the world could the order have been cancelled? I have spoken to someone at AT&T customer service nearly every day for the last 2 weeks!
I have wasted over (no joke) 10 hours on the phone with AT&T customer service and I am at my wits' end! In my 38 years of life on this planet, I have never dealt with such incompetence and lack of regard for a customer’s time.

We recently took AT&T up on an ad that was sent out for "The Ultimate Bundle" "Bundle 3 great services from AT&T for the Same price, every month, for 2 years - guaranteed!" It included DirecTV, High Speed Internet and Home Phone (25 + features including unlimited local and nationwide calling). We switched from DISH to get this bundle. We already had AT&T and "not very high speed internet." After dropping DISH and having DIRECTV Installed, and many phone calls and talking to MANY people at AT&T, we were told we do not qualify for that Bundle because we don't have U-Verse. We can't have U-verse because they haven't run the cable for that in our area yet. (It's not my fault that we don't have the cable in our area).
So, now, we are paying much more than we thought we'd be paying when we decided that their ad looked good enough to switch to. Instead of paying about $108 per month, plus taxes, on ONE BILL, as advertised, we're paying about $146 per month, and on separate bills from AT&T and DIRECTV. AT&T was no help at all through all of my phone calls. On one phone call, I talked to 8 (Eight) different, then was told someone would call us back tomorrow. Tomorrow never came.

I called AT&T yesterday around 8 am because I noticed the CW was not appearing in my list of channels, which is odd considering in the Toledo area it is a local channel. I watch a LOT of CW shows. I called and spoke to a sales rep. She could not figure out why it was not appearing. We got talking and she asked me how much our bill is each month. I explained to her that I was going to ask about my bill because it has not been a consistent price and it has never been the price I was told when I signed up. She told me that she could save me a good chunk of money because AT&T was running a new promotion… for $89.99, I would get U-Verse internet and change my TV to DirecTV. I was VERY skeptical. My family and I moved in June and before that we had DirecTV and U-Verse internet and it was WAY more than $89.99 a month. One of the reasons we switched everything over to U-Verse was because it would save us money.
Anyway, I asked a bunch of questions, double and triple checked to make sure the pricing was correct. She promised me that it was. She went through all the details and discounts that I would receive. I agreed to the contract, the only thing changing was that we were changing the name on the account to my husband’s name instead of mine because he was handling the bill. We finished and she set up the installation for DirecTV for Saturday. She said the only thing I needed to do was to call DirecTV and give them the account number so that the bills would be consolidated. I called DirecTV and spent roughly 10-15 minutes on the phone with another rep. She could not locate the new account and could not find my husband’s name either. I was at work and I asked how much longer it would take. She took down my information and promised to call me back at noon when I was on my lunch.
I waited until about 12:15 and never got a call. I called back and spoke to another AT&T rep. She explained that they put my husband’s name in backwards and that there was a hold on the account because in order to consolidate the accounts the U-Verse account needed to be in my husband’s name and it was still in my name. (We were never originally told this.) The rep sent me a link to “transfer responsibility” to my husband. Once I completed that, I had to call back and verify that it was complete and get the new information. Once I got ALL of that done, I had to call DirecTV back and give them the information to consolidate the bills. This is where it all went downhill.
The DirecTV rep told me that the original AT&T rep that sold me the new package did not have the authorization to give me the discounts that she did and that DirecTV would not honor the discounts that I was promised. If I chose to keep the package they offered, it was going to cost me $20 more than I’m already paying and it would be for less channels! I told her to cancel the DirecTV order. I called AT&T back because after spending ALL day trying to get this figured out because I was back to square one. I also had to call and make sure that my U-Verse wasn’t going to be disconnected. The rep I spoke to told me that my account number also changed and that the original rep never put in a disconnect order. He told me he could not help me with the channel and suggested that I call the sales department.
The automated phone system sent me to 3 different people before I ever got to where I needed. Finally I get to talk to another sales rep and I ask her why the CW isn’t available. She couldn’t figure it out either. She saw where it was channel 14, but didn’t know why it wasn’t showing. While she’s trying to figure it out, she had the audacity to try and sell me ANOTHER package. Are you kidding me!? Stop trying to sell me another package and fix the one I have! She talked to a specialist and they told me that the reason it was not appearing was because they were currently in “contract negotiations” and she didn’t know how long it would take to come to an agreement. Then I asked what they were going to do about everything that I went through. (Everything that happened was noted on the account.) I told her that I wanted my bill lowered like I was promised. She said she couldn’t do anything.
They lowered it a whopping $10 but that was because of the “discount” we got for changing the name on the account to my husband’s. After all the hoops I had to jump through yesterday it’s ridiculous I was not offered a better discount. Last night I decided to do some research on the contract negotiations with AT&T and the CW. Come to find out there are no contract negotiations. I was lied to, not once, but twice. Yesterday and the day I signed up with U-Verse. U-Verse has NEVER offered the CW. When I signed up with U-Verse I specifically asked for that channel because we watch so many shows on that channel. I’m LIVID. I called today and talked to another sales rep and she informed me that my research was correct and that the CW was only available on DirecTV. To top it off, my internet was down for a while last night. I have been continuously lied to by this company. I have had promises made and AT&T has not kept up on their end.
I’m sick and tired of how this company treats its customers. Also, AT&T and DirecTV need to decide if they are going to run as one company or two separate companies. Right now you are basically running the companies separate, but intertwining deals and apparently your sales reps don’t know who qualifies for what discounts or what discounts they are supposed to be selling. I’m angry by the events of yesterday and for the complete and utter lack of respect this company has for its customers. I will make sure all of my friends and family know about the kind or should I say the lack of customer service that AT&T offers.

We installed the AT&T Uverse service a month ago. During the installation process, a very friendly and helpful representative, Rachael, told me that the $99 installation fee would be waived. Not surprisingly, the fee showed up on our bill. When I called a representative today, I was told that she had no indication of the fee being waived in the notes and proceeded to tell me how the earlier representative should have taken care of it and almost sounded exasperated that she had to take care of it.
After a lot of fuss, she said she finally waived the fee and transferred me to the automated service to pay the adjusted amount due. Turns out she never waived it at all! I called customer service again and this time the person tells me that it's there in the notes, but the fee was not waived. Again, there was a problem with the automated payment and I had to call customer service for the third time and yet again I was in conversation with an extremely rude representative. I spent an hour talking to customer service about something that should never have been an issue to begin with.

I am posting this here because I have not been able to find how to post a review ON AT&T's site. I have been an AT&T internet and TV customer for years, approx 6 at this house location alone. In 2015 when they went to raise my U-verse rates by $60/mth without any sort of "improvements" to justify the price increase, I called to see if they could give me a better deal. The rep talked me into going with DirecTV with a 2 year contract with lower rate the first year, but was assured, that "They have already been told you could go back to U-verse as a new customer at the end of that first year."
Well, 10 days into the DirecTV service I lost the signal 7 times - all weather related - leaving me without a way to watch for violent weather. I decided to call and see if I could switch back and just pay the higher cost. Day 14 was Sunday. Thinking they wouldn't be open (1st mistake), I decided to call on Monday and then ended up calling on Tuesday.
AT&T told me I had to call DirecTV, and that no they would not charge me to cancel and GO BACK TO U-VERSE - this is very important. DirecTV was very quick to point out: If I had called by day 14 I could cancel and go back to U-verse no problem. But on day 16 they would charge me $480 to go back. I asked why I would pay almost $500 and still stay with AT&T? I didn't get a good response, so I can assume they haven't been asked that question before. I should also note that the email contract I received stated if I cancelled it would be $15/mth fee or $360. She told me No, my fee would be $20. She didn't have a good response for why my email was different, even when I read it to her. Not cancelling then was my 2nd mistake.
I Sat out my year, calling every time I lost service - they have a record of it!! I called when the year was up to change back. Rep stated I may have to pay $240 cancellation fee. I told him "no. I was told I would not." He asked someone and told me they would waive the fee. I signed up for U-verse. It was not installed correctly: they cancelled directv day before installing U-verse vs on the day, wasn't hooked to surround - what 20 something doesn't hook it up to surround sound? I had to re-route everything, it did not have the HD channels I ordered, and did not show channel 11 (the only reason I was paying for service).
I called back the next day when I got an email bill stating my first month would be $460+ to get an explanation. Jennifer was the first rep in all the conversations I had with AT&T would sounded like she was actually concerned about all of this. She submitted a case ticket. Told me to wait to hear back from them in 7-10 business days before making any more changes (turning on the HD).
Day 7 I get a bill from DirecTV for $194 to pay the cancellation fee. It had a service credit accounting for less than $240 charge. I called AT&T again. "Do I really pay this?" I ask the girl to put a note on the case ticket that if I did not hear from someone by the 10 day, I would cancel U-verse. I never received a phone call. I called that Friday, cancelled the service and was assured that my internet would not change. It has.
In all of this - AT&T has failed. I have talked to people in Texas, Arizona, California, and 2 other places. This is just in the last 2 weeks. All but one of them said the same thing: U-verse and DirecTV are owned by AT&T. You do not pay a cancellation fee to go from one to the other. I called again yesterday - got my U-verse bill and it was almost $200 because they added a DirecTV bill on that I had paid on the last months bill. That gentleman is the first to state that everyone else was wrong and you would pay a fee to cancel one AT&T TV product and go to another. The guy I talked to when I cancelled said that everyone else was wrong about the fee - they were new and didn't have all the right AT&T information.
AT&T offers 2 versions of TV service. They sell them both on their website. If a customer is dissatisfied with the service and reception they have received they should be willing to continue to keep that customer by giving them the more reliable service. I understand and agree if I had just wanted to cancel altogether, paying a cancellation fee would be expected. (That fee is too high, and is used solely to force people to keep the service.)
However, that was not the case. Their failure has cost them a customer. I plan to never use AT&T for TV service again, and I am going to shop around for internet service. If I thought it would do me any good to try to arbitrate any of this I would. They failed in their obligation to me as a customer. I'm pretty sure that contract states that they owe me something even if it was a get out free card. I will point out that I also have AT&T cellular service and I have NEVER in the 22 years I have had it, had issues anywhere close to what I have had with their TV service.

I called AT&T when I recently moved to bundle my internet service and cable TV with DirecTV. When they came out to install it, the only option was to place it in the middle of my yard. That doesn't work for me and it was cancelled before it was ever set up. After it was cancelled, I started receiving calls to activate my service and then I started receiving bills. I have spent hours on the phone, I have been transferred numerous times to no avail. On one phone call alone I was transferred 6 times! Several AT&T employees said I didn't have an account with them but now I am receiving disconnection notices for a service I don't have. Very, very frustrating. I would never recommend AT&T, the customer service is the worst I have encountered.

Salesperson for AT&T came to my house and told my husband and I we now had high-speed fiber optics. We switched to them and were only getting 6 MB download not the promised 24 and no one in house could use Wi-Fi. Tech came to house, spent 4 hours (I lost 4 hours of work) only to tell me there is no high-speed fiber optic in my area and he could not get download higher than 12. I work from home and had to have high-speed internet so had to cancel service. Now AT&T refuses to waive the cancellation fee even though I was lied to about the service I would receive. I have now spent countless hours on phone trying to get fee waived that I was promised I would get due to the circumstances. This company is a nightmare. DO NOT USE.

AT&T U-verse: The positivity, kindness & respect from your Customer Service/Tech folks is EXCELLENT. Your unorganized and confusing structures, your lack of cross-departmental communications & your joke of a "process" (if you can call it that) to resolve customer issues all create the single-most frustrating situations from me from any vendor I use in my household.
If Comcast didn't suck so much, I would've left AT&T a long time ago. As a customer, I feel trapped. I don't feel appreciated, I don't feel like you care at all and frankly, the second that a better option comes up (hopefully Google Fiber when they come to Nashville) -- I'm OUT. I would pay 100's of dollars to leave your company as a customer, just for 1-2 less hours of headaches issues arise. If things don't change & a better vendor comes along, I will be more thrilled to leave AT&T than any kind of happiness I have received from being your customer over the last 5 years. I feel bad for those kind, respectful, patient customer service reps of yours -- you literally force them into helpless situations. I am continually losing respect for you as a company & I hope you'll have the balls to do something about it!

Recently I found myself deeply disappointed by a company I have dealt with, become familiar with, and have even invested in. For a decade and a half I’ve carried AT&T service in one form or another including multiple cellular phone lines, cable, satellite television, and internet service. I’ve been inundated with their television commercials talking about how easy it is to move from one house to another and maintain your Directv service. Likewise there is extensive publication put forth by the company advertising their state of the art UVerse service. Now in my mid-forties, for the first time I feel as though I cannot turn the other cheek, and must speak up about a company that I feel has done me wrong. And if my take on the subject is true, I can only presume they have done many others wrong as well.
This document may carry no weight with the general population or may be viewed simply as one person’s simple complaint. However, recently I moved to a new house and found myself under the stress of starting over; a new city, a new lifestyle, a new job; with the need to provide adjustment support for me and my wife. During the process I admit that I was dependent upon the comfort provided with watching television in order to escape the stress and anxiety of the changes in my life.
That however was about to be tainted by the company I had come to rely upon. The company I had come to trust and had dealt with for years was not only about to let me down, but would also take the opportunity to take advantage of me. It began with a poor installation effort that led to me having to rework the alleged optimum hook-up myself. This was coupled with less than satisfactory efforts to provide a seamless installation. The cable is still strung across the surface of my yard, months later. I was told a satellite dish could not be installed on my roof as one tree blocked the sixteen hundred square feet of roofline, while three of my adjoining neighbors do have dishes. But it was late on a hot day and the contractor didn’t want to climb a ladder, so I was forced to go with cable service instead; hence the cable lying across my yard.
Then came the icing on the cake, as upon my realization that AT&T had taken advantage of this opportunity to more than double my rates due to a change of service, address (by the way the end product was technically the same), I decided to cancel my service and go with a local supplier at a fraction of the price. This alone is a sign of poor customer service and a lack of customer respect; however this is not the end.
Most recently I’ve received a bill for roughly $140 for canceling service early. A service with a company that I’ve dealt with for a decade and a half. When I reached out to AT&T they literally threw back at me that it was a clause in the contract that because my service changed, my relationship with them started over and while they owed me nothing, I now owed them. Beyond the increase in fees, beyond the hassle of poor service, I was now liable for a parting of ways fee.So I caution everyone out there. Don’t believe the marketing gimmicks you see in television commercials. Don’t believe what companies promise and preach; and certainly don’t believe in AT&T.

was calling me by a male name. They are rude and then when you ask to speak to a supervisor, they leave you on hold for 15+ minutes and just have you waiting.
From this point on I WILL NOT recommend anyone to tell. They are unprofessional and a don't give a rat's ** about their customers. If you do the paperless billing, watch out for the price increases because they will slip them in on you without you knowing. I tried to switch to DirecTV because of all the issues with U-verse. Their technician came out and said he couldn't get a signal, so I am stuck with U-verse. I'm gonna try my luck with Xfinity, can't be too much worse. They tell you they're sending senior technicians out to resolve your issue, when in fact they send out newly hired individuals that have to call into the center and have someone walk them through replacing equipment and installations. BOTTOM LINE IS, AT&T NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! THEY CARE MORE ABOUT GETTING MONEY!!! AT&T SUCKS!!!

I placed an order over the phone for DSL service at my home (on a Tuesday). I paid $50 that night and was told service would be turned on on Friday. I received emails and text messages confirming this. On Thursday I received an email stating that service would not be installed until Wednesday. I called and spoke with someone and she said that she could change it to Monday. I wasn't happy, but it was better than nothing. Monday came and went and no service. I called Monday and spoke with multiple people who told me that they could not find me in the system or pull up my information based on my phone number (which had received text messages), my email address (which had received emails), or my physical address (which had received mail stating that they checked my credit score). I was told I would have to speak to the sales service department, which was closed.
I figured the install date of Wednesday hadn't ever been changed, so I waited until Wednesday, STILL no service Wednesday night when I got home. I called Wednesday night, and had the same issues of no one being able to find me in the system, and of course that sales department with whom I needed to speak was gone.
I called Thursday and was on the phone for 5 hours. Yes, 5 hours! And nothing was resolved. I found out that my order hadn't ever been processed, so they had to submit a new order for me. I was also informed that I would need to make another $50 deposit, after I had already had $50 taken from my bank account the previous Tuesday when I placed my original order. I was then told that my service would not be able to be turned on for another week. The final person I spoke with was supposed to assist me in getting service turned on was not able to because the 2nd order that had been placed on my behalf had not been processed correctly, so it was not finished. And of course by this time the sales department that needed to finish with these changes was gone. I spoke with countless people for 5 hours of my day, and in the end I had nothing fixed.
I called the next day, spoke again with numerous people in various departments, a few supervisors, was hung up on once because I had to keep asking the man on the other end to repeat himself (as I couldn't understand what he was saying for such a thick accent). I had one person tell me they would work on it and call me back in 1-2 hours. Three hours later I called back and they would not transfer to this person, even though he had given me his ID number. Then I had another person try to do the same thing, telling me she would work on it and call me back.
After spending half of my day dealing with these people who obviously could not place an order to save their lives, I said "never mind, cancel my order and give me my money back." The following Tuesday I received my order confirmation in the mail. Are you ** kidding me?! They said it would be up to 10 days before I receive my refund, so I am still waiting to see if that comes through. I would have attempted to cancel service a lot sooner if anyone else offered internet in my area.

I really don't have time for this but everybody should know how bad service is in AT&T. First they build a contract with apartment complex where the consumer cannot choose from other services. Second they write a contract which AT&T never fulfills (never watched a channel) and then AT&T charges for breaking the contract. Tried multiple times for contract to be broken since service was never received and after 1 hour being jumped from person to person (Victoria, Martha, AJ, etc).
I went to the AT&T store near me where before hanging up I asked if they could help me there over phone and said that yes I would get the help I needed. Again they had to call and here I am waiting again. Mr. Hector ** was kind enough to help me get in touch with another employee on the phone where AT&T credited my account for a service I had not received but still charge for breaking a contract that they never fulfilled.

I have been a U-verse customer for well over 10 years and truly love the service and the product but then the service got more and more expensive so back in January and February of 2016 I called in to see what I could do to lower my bill so I was inquiring about DirecTV. So the gentleman on the phone asked me a few questions like if I had a security monitoring system on my home and I said yes. So he asked me about how much I was paying a month and I went ahead and told him. Then he said "well I could match that price. Keep you at your level of service you have now what U-Verse which was U-verse 450 and lower your total monthly cost." So I said "okay. That sounds good." after we talked for a while.
An hour later he tells me "well I put your package together. You will be paying.." like I don't remember but it was like 30 or $40 more for my security system that I'm paying now. I said "no I can't do that." But then he went on to convince me that he was saving me money on my U-verse bill but I still went on to say "no I cannot make that decision has this is not only my bill but my brother's so I would have to ask my brother first before changing anything." So he understood that so I thought I will. So it went on that he would hold on and call me back at a later date. That's not what happened.
What happened next is the next day AT&T sent me out a full security system. I was in total and utter shock. Now back to the universe part of the whole deal he connected me to a young lady who said she would get my U-verse much cheaper than I was paying and she would get me a $400 gift card for staying with U-verse so I said "that sounds great. Are you sure that everything will remain the same and y'all won't disconnect me?" And she absolutely positively said "no everything would be the same. We don't disconnect to reconnect." But went on to say she could not finish her order because she was having internet problems and would call me back.
Now remember I haven't given her to go to do this yet we were still discussing it so she said she would call me back to finish. She did try to call back but I missed her call. She went ahead and put the order in without having my authorization to do so. Later that night I woke up and my TV was not working. I had no single had no idea what was going on so I woke up the next morning and called AT&T only to find out that they had disconnected my service, was sending out a technician to reinstall. At this point I was totally freaking out and I went on to tell the representative that this was not authorized by me but all those they could do is say "well there's nothing we can do now." So I lost all of my recordings I had on my DVR and not only that I went from of U-verse 450 and a 300. So as you can see everything was a lie and More Lies.
So then they sent one $200 gift card that took forever to get here and then they sent another another $200 gift card so has I am always out of town I had put the gift cards in my drawer and just forgot about them so when I got ready to use them I was calling to see what my balance was and they said "these cards are not valid. That they had already expired." I said "wow I didn't know gift cards would expired so quickly. I thought I had a year to use them." I was told "well you should have looked at the expiration date." So I said "yes you're right. I should have but I didn't. Is there anything you could do to reactivate these?"
After about 20 some minutes on the phone she came back and said no then she connect me to someone else who then connected me to a supervisor who went on to say there was nothing they could do. So that took me about 2 hours. So after 2 hours and explaining this to the supervisor she didn't do anything and I told her I'm done. I will be disconnecting U-verse once and for all because I am sure that there is someone else who would appreciate my business more than then AT&T U-verse. With all that being said that's not even the tip of the iceberg of how many times U-verse have to come out here because my internet was slow and it was always disconnecting itself but did they ever bother telling me it was because they were upgrading their system? Absolutely not. A technician advised me of that when he came out.

I am now very satisfied with this company. They called back and apologized for everything, refunded $300 to my AT&T account, disconnected my phone service and discounted my internet package since it isn't as much of a bundle as before. I do hope that they do some company-wide training on what the federal laws are and how they can't contradict with company policy, escalation laws and processes as well as general professional conduct while dealing with an irate customer. If they don't know the information, that's ok, just admit that and find someone who does instead of falsifying and wasting consumers time and causing further agitation or harm down the line.

Signed up for DirecTV with Digital Life home protection and U-verse Internet and voice package. The U-verse voice is advertised to have the capability to display the caller I'd on your smart TV and voicemail services. Since the day I signed the contract it has never worked. First call they said it was my phone so I bought a new one according to their recommendations, still didn't work so the next call they blamed the tv and I told them the model and type I had and they confirmed it isn't it do they sent a tech out, he changed my wifi router. Still didn't work so I call again and they blame phone and tv, I tell them I've been through that so they send a tech out, no issues found but still doesn't work. Call AGAIN and get a lady that finally tells me I will NEVER have those features because I am not a full AT&T service customer. I will need to drop DirecTV in order to get that service.
I get pissed because I've talked to tons of people as no one said that, they never said that when seeking it to me either or in the terms and conditions they bleed out at the end either and I demanded to speak to a manager. She refused to let me until I screamed at the top of my lungs and she finally sent me to a voicemail that was NEVER RETURNED. I call again and told them I want my service cancelled due to these lies and inability to get a manager to return a call and she REFUSES TO LET ME SPEAK TO ANYONE aside from technical support, even though I've explained I've been through that for a year and they are incapable of fixing the issue or calling back so I want the cancellation or billing team. She refuses stating I won't speak to anyone until I get the issue resolved and I pointed out a whole year of this crap is enough technical support and let me speak to her supervisor.
She put me on hold for over half an hour and literally lied about asking the supervisor to speak to me because I soon as I told DANIKA that I had recorded all of it and she has no right as a representative to try and control the call, refuse escalation and make a decision on my account based on her personal biased opinion. So she transfers me to payments and arrangements, not what I asked for and he transferred me to cancellations where I get yet another rep that refuses to let me speak to anyone and keeps trying to force technical support again after being told I've done that for a year and I'm done with a company that not only can't fix an issue but will continue to take money for a service I'm not getting.
So then he tells me I may get $50 CREDIT TO MY ACCOUNT but nothing more because it's a FREE SERVICE. It is not a free service, I paid for it for over a year and never got it!!! It's the main selling point on your advertisement and marketing schemes so it isn't free!!! I was promised I'd get these services and never did and I demand a manager and so he finally transfers me to a vain email and I leave it. It's been three business days and no call back... Also, my internet always sucks and they always change out router but still sucks.

Ordered the internet and tv bundle. They advertised 24 MBPS in my area but could only provide 18 MBPS when ordering. The service was sporadic at best with speeds continuously dropping to 1-3 MBPS. Technicians could not repair it and advised to cancel the service because they exhausted their capabilities. Every time I called to cancel the service, the telephone call became mysteriously disconnected when they were asking for a number where they could call back if needed.
When I called again, they absolutely refused to cancel the service. During hours of contacts with several customer service representatives, lies about their cancellation rules, lies about my services and the date it was started, they took me to the last possible date to cancel before the early termination fees applied. They continued to lie saying that I had to pay early termination fees despite the fact that they could not provide the services they promised. I was still within the 30 day tryout period.

There were only offering $100 at that time. Told nothing they could do!

I recently subscribed with AT&T Internet services in OKC. What a huge mistake!! First of all, they offer you lower prices but their internet speed is super slow. They recommend a slow internet speed just so they can get you hooked in a contract and upgrade you later. It took three technicians to finally get it installed because the technicians are totally disconnected from the representatives you talk to in India somewhere and no one knows what is going on. The phone rep told me it was my fault and that I signed up for a self-install and I was just trying to get them to coordinate a time to run a line to the house after the first three technicians showed up and couldn't put a box on the house because there was not a line running to the pole in the alley. WOW!!
Finally after many hours on hold and multiple explanations they were able to get a linesman to the house and a technician hooked it up. However, the plan they sold me on the phone is apparently nonexistent and the bill is $25 more than what they quoted me, blah, blah, blah. The internet cuts off frequently and I wished I would of read these reviews before signing on with this company. Run and pay the extra money to go with a reputable company!!

We moved to Gallatin in June of 2016. We chose DirecTV and asked for the bundle with AT&T. At the time, it was not available in our area. They contacted us last week and said that the service was now available in our area and asked if we would like to switch our internet and home phone service. We chose to do so and scheduled an appointment for installation. They were to arrive between 12-2 today. At 3pm we had not heard from anyone and therefore called Customer Service. We were told that they had overbooked and would not be able to make it to us for about 5 days. We received no prior notification about this situation until we reached out to them.
My husband had our previous provider disconnect our service as of today. After a long wait and being switched from one person to another and never getting the same answer twice ("5 day", "we will make it happen today", "we will work it in tomorrow morning"), my husband and I are forced to give up our plans together tomorrow for them to come out of the generosity of their hearts and squeeze us in. We stayed home today to wait. We work opposite shifts, so we plan ahead for days off to spend time together.
Now, tomorrow I will be forced to attend an event without my husband due to such poor customer service and such lack of respect of our time. We totally understand that things come up, but we should have been notified as soon as they became aware of a schedule conflict so that we could arrange for such. I am furious that this poor organization costs me quality time with my husband. I doubt that if I overextended myself they would accept my payment getting to them just whenever it worked out for me to send it.

I can never expect any company to give such an experience to their customer. I called AT&T for move request and they connected me to some third world and they kept lying to me for 3 days regarding my move is set up and all set to go. And no one show up at my house. I was in contract with AT&T at my apartment. I bought my house and wanted to move. Asking AT&T to move my internet service. They did following to me:
Kept trying to sell me internet for more. I ask that I am under contract so I want same service for same price. Their answer was first that yes they will do that. And no action, white lies. They just hear me off like they are my customers; Their third world representative were horrible. Kept lying to me for 3 days that move is scheduled to next day 10 AM and it never took place; When I finally get to talk with local representative, they mentioned that it has to be new contract and now it is more than what it was before. I ask but under contract they have to give me same price. Their answer was sorry this is what I will get. I said, "OK I don't want your service" and they said then I have to pay early termination fees; I felt like stuck with AT&T and never was so frustrated with any company like this before. I highly recommend to stay away from AT&T.

I have never in my life had so much trouble with a company. I had Direct since 2010 but as soon as AT&T took over it's a total nightmare. I've tried to cancel my service 7 times and keep getting bounced around and still they have not disconnected. I don't know where to send boxes. My new roommate and I were opening up a new account with AT&T U-verse and 3 times they never showed up. We even had text confirmation. Three weeks of no tv then they send a tech out late Saturday and the tech says "Oh we need a lineman." So no service and if we don't hear from them by Monday am call him. Well guess what? We didn't and left message for tech. When he called back they don't have that service in our area. WTF. 3 weeks mind you... They said "Oh you can do satellite. Make an appointment"??? We said "Kiss our grits," and we called Cox.

This service has been frustrating. I have had issues with billing and payments. I was told upon enrollment for this service that had a deadline to request other optional payment methods for my bill, instead of online, by phone, or banking that I could receive a bill in the mail. Though in compliance with requirements, they sent me a letter in the mail saying they were continuously billing my bank but I requested 2 months prior to receive it in the mail. In a discussion with a billing representative. They tried to say AT THE MOMENT I CALLED that I was requesting for a bill by mail. Though you have private account information of mines, to pull funds (bank Account) info without my authorization is account abuse, identity theft and fraud. That man was stuttering on the phone. Know your legal rights and the law in your state.
In retaliation to that phone call, received a prompt from Credit Karma - they reported be to the credit bureaus. Service goes out and often. Once, service went out for over 14 hours. During the time being because I stay close to downtown, all neighboring businesses and residential neighbors that had this service, HAD their service except for my residence. Even though AT&T technical support said it was an "area issue". Though I'm am being billed by mail. AT&T services for internet. Was behind on a bill for a week of $55, paid it and advanced an additional monthly payment but received a letter in the mail a week later of $165! That is service for 3 months! I am not behind on my payments. I will be very glad to finish my contract. Early termination of the contract is $200.

For over a year, I have been paying $50 or more for UP to 12 mbps. Many times when it has been running slow we had to call and find out it is running closer to 2 mbps. I recently saw a number of promotions for AT&T for higher Mbps at lower price as well as a number of competitors offering better deals. When I called, I was denied a better deal, because I wasn't a NEW customer, so clearly loyal customers are treated worse than new customers. I asked to cancel services so I could be a new customer elsewhere and they said it would cost me over $165. They finally agreed to let me have 24 Mbps speed at same price, however it would require tech to come out. This appt was scheduled for Sat.
The Wednesday before our tech appt, the modem crashed. We had a lengthy troubleshoot call, but they failed to fix it. My husband was able to fix it himself the following day however. On Saturday the tech came and told me it would take over 4 hours to complete. He then told me there was a network outage and he couldn't complete the job. In the process he made our 12 mbps internet stop working, so again we were without Internet.
I called customer service to reschedule tech for Tues. Then I spoke at great length with someone from tech support on Sat and they had no idea why a tech was there, since they can upgrade on the phone, however due to the outage they couldn't complete at that time. They promised to call the following day and do it then. I informed them of Tues appt and to cancel if they can do it on the phone. However they never called to upgrade service on Sun.
Today I receive call from Scheduling team who doesn't understand why someone would tell me this could be completed over the phone. I told her that the rep on Sat informed me that I had the most up to date modem and it could be completed over the phone. She said this is not the case, so now a tech is supposedly coming again tomorrow and will likely take over 4 hours.
I only want reliable internet and already paying $50 or more each month, but either have less than 12 mbps or no internet at all. Also their customer service apparently gives you a different answer and doesn't keep very detailed notes, despite telling you that call may be recorded for "training purposes". So fed up with AT&T! Save yourself the pain and go ANYWHERE ELSE!

It was time for a new business contract with AT&T, was offered the Uverse plan with our 2 business lines and internet... the price was competitive to our previous price. I made the change and 24 hours later discovered we had lost our REMOTE CALL FORWARDING feature. When I called AT&T about it, discovered that the Uverse plan wasn't capable of offering it. Amazing that the sales rep had access to all services I previously had, and nothing was mentioned about losing any services - and that AT&T would market this product that is supposedly the wave of the future - and not be capable of providing a basic service. It will impact me severely that I have lost this service.

We got off the call at 10am and my phone was cut off. Unfortunately, I had a problem paying my past due balance, because due to a cell service issue my payment for my phone bill didn't go through as it should have, as I was quote "out of the service area" even though the map has coverage where I was.
Due to this fact the customer service agent I spoke to explained to me that there was nothing that they could do to help, but they were just so sorry I was having a family emergency. That in fact if I wanted to keep the arrangement and pay the $173.54 I absolutely could, but it would still not keep my service on.

Every month my bill was a different due date and I had to call them to change it and they would charge me a pro rated charge. What the hell and the dates never got fixed. When I would call in they would tell me the rep you talked didn't know what they were doing and I will fix it.

Get this finally I went to cancel my cell service I couldn't take it anymore and when I went to pay the bill a rep on the phone said she took my payment with my credit card over the phone even gave me a confirmation number and all.
I never thought of checking the account and then I get a bill I never paid and they cut my service wtf. When I called back after being on the phone for 3 hrs with them they couldn't locate the confirmation number and have no information of me calling in and talking to someone. I mean why would someone tell you the payment went through and give a confirmation number. So they made me pay 600 to turn on my service.

Everything happen when we first got AT&T about one year ago. They said it was not with contract and that it will be a great internet for our usage. First thing that happen one of them wrote down the wrong address and they sent the router to the wrong house. Well it's understandable that we all are humans and we make mistake. But AT&T wanted for us to pay $57 something for something that it wasn't our fault. That's one thing but the other thing is that we never knew about this bill until collection called and said that we needed to pay $252.42. Collection contacted us 3 months later. We never receive a bill about anything of this. I contacted AT&T and they told me that they did not see any bill that we needed to pay beside the monthly one and they told us everything is fine "to not worry about it. It might been a glitch on our end for sending you guys that. Just ignore it." Well I said "Great. Nothing to worry."
But then few months passes and same thing collection call and asking for that amount. I contacted AT&T again and they said the same thing that there is no bill beside the one we would be paying for. Well like a month ago collection called and this time I got really piss off because they been telling me one thing and collection said that we needed to pay that. So this time I contacted them and told them and the guys who was helping me said that they will get to the bottom of this and that they will investigate to see what happen and that they will contact me no later than 72 hrs. Then more than 72 hrs pass and I contact them saying what happen and I ask for a promotion or something to get out of because of all the stress passing thru when you have good credit. They told me that in their history said that last time we contacted them was about 11 months ago.
Hearing this tick me off because basically what I understood that I wasted my time on fixing this problem over 11 months. Anyways because of this reason they would not give me a promotion. I said "Screw it. We will get different internet provider." So we did and we got Time Warner Cable and so far this has been a lot better than AT&T. With AT&T we would pay $57 a month but we had a promotion that would discount $17 so we would pay $40 plus $7 account charges so it was about $47 and the speed is 12/1.5 (Anyone who doesn't know about the speed well this is to slow for the amount that we paying monthly).
Now with Time we pay $55 monthly and the speed is 100/10. Look at the numbers and look at the prices. Big difference right. Well going back to our experience after I tried to Cancel our service with AT&T they said I was not able to because it's with contract. I said really. This got me piss off, but at this time I was done with them. I just "Okay bye" and I click because I only need to pay one more payment in order to be able to cancel that service. With collection everything was fix (I hope) that they found another account and that we are not going to pay anything and that they cancel that account bill payment already.

Back in the year of 2011 we switched to Uverse for cable tv and internet, originally got the U300 package and 12 mbps package with 4 boxes for about $110-120/month but since then we upgraded to U450 and 18 mbps and got a 5th box and add in all the yearly increases. We now pay $270 or more per month. From 2011-2014 it rarely went out and when it did it was very short and didn't last long, but in the last 2 years we had to replace multiple modems. Uverse goes out for under 10 minutes about 3-6 times a month and went out 3 times for 16-24 hours each time in 2016. After hearing about how Xfinity has more advanced technology, faster internet, better cable tv and saving $50-70/month while getting more, that's why we are switching to them next week.

I have been an AT&T customer for about 7 months. I do not always pay on time because I don't always have the money. AT&T gave me grace periods when I first began with their company, sometimes up to two months at a time. Suddenly last month I was one week past due and they shut my internet service off. When I called to find out what happened they said that based on my payment history they couldn't give me Grace periods anymore which I understand. What I don't understand is they charged $45 every time they shut you off. They gave me no notice about the change in grace period policy so I didn't realize I was about to be disconnected. I paid the bill and they said they would charge me the 45 next month for last month's disconnection. I got home from work today and my service is off again, it hasn't even been 30 days since I paid my last bill. When you try to call or talk to somebody they're closed.
Last month when they shut me off for being a week late on my payment I tried to reason with them and tell them that I didn't know but I didn't have a Grace. But they refused to listen. Now with my service off again and the certainty that they're going to charge me another $45 I'm going to leave AT&T. I will not recommend them to anyone. Their policies are terrible. I have 3 kids, I'm a single mom, and I work really hard. They change the rules in the middle of the game and then they take your money.

The job never gets completed correctly and technicians need to return several times to get it right. From the beginning the service has been bad but my options are limited. Originally I was suppose to receive some deal but the store didn't set up the account right so I never received the special pricing and in fact paid more than what I was paying with my original service. Don't get me started with the internet. If you are not hard wired into the box the connection will bounce every 2 minutes. Hmm. I thought the purpose of AT&T was for the wireless ability. When you are watching tv try not to get invested in the show you are watching since at the best parts the tv will go out for no Internet connection. I never can find out who did it.
Then after hours of pushing or yelling into the phone to receive a customer service rep, did I mention the automated service told me I was a valued customer and that my service was expedited, you were better off with the automated service, since the only response you get is "let me check my screen one moment" or "I'm sorry to hear that" and the best part no resolution.

Don't get mad about these type of free offers please, AT&T charged more than market price on IPHONE first thing, 2nd thing we will struck in 24/36 months contract based on phone, you cannot decide that, they will only decided that. They will collect $140 in the beginning of phone delivery and asks us to pay remaining balance in installment basis. And you will come under assumption that, you purchased one phone, the other one is free... NO... it's not the case with BOGO.
They will keep charges you for 2nd phone... this is what I have experienced in my 5 months span, but they will not accept they are charging you. The other charges like state tax, federal tax... etc almost more than $18/20 in taxes they will charge you for 2 devices, and you will never get same bill in consecutive months, each month different bill, not sure why it is. I have almost spent 14 hours to get my correct bill but failed. Care team doesn't have full details about this plan, every time new person will come in to call, and tells different story. They will tell we will apply promotions but not sure when and what amount they will apply. Overall my experience is, AT&T guys will assure something and do something do not believe them please. Please start collecting ticket /case number for your issue, I have asked several time but they are not providing at all.
I don't know what to do in this case. Whenever they assured something or tell something please ask them to send a mail along with case number, because they will not believe their own guys and ask you mail confirmation for last assurance of deductibles or discounts. I have chat transcripts and pasted in chat requests but they will not at all consider those too. Not sure what they will consider... God knows. Almost 10 people in my surroundings facing the similar type of billing issues with BOGO.
U-Verse internet story is one more different, while taking new connection they assured me that $100 promotion but later not sure where it's gone, and they told me they will charge $99 one time charges for installing and it's free for next 2 location moves, until unless you do not have confirmation mail please do not believe it. If you moved in 6 months/1 year they again they will charge $ 99 for sure. But one big relief is at least I am getting right bill in this case. I am requesting you everyone, please do not go with BOGO plan at all, it kills your time, money and will give additional mental pressure with their billing every month.

After a month I called them ask "where is my credit?" Service Dept rep first talked to me about half hour and then transfer me to collection dept. Collection dept rep told me I should get the check after 30 days. I told her it has been 30 days after I cancel the service. Then she said "I didn't say from the day service stop". I said "you mean from today?" She said "No, I didn't say that." I ask her "So which you said 30 days is meaningless. It could start from next year." She insisted telling me "you can call back next month to have more info about your credit." I said Thank you and hang up. I don't care the credit. I am tired of their service and the attitude to customer.

So since 2007 I've had AT&T high-speed DSL. Had it in a bundle with home phone as well, but then the home phone bill just jumped to higher prices (another scam). So my family decided in 2014, "Let's drop the home phone and keep the internet", which was at like 2.5 mb. Dropped home phone and asked before they dropped it, "Will it affect my internet?" "No" they said. Now we're here with 764kb and they say, "We never had those services in that area". LIES all around, plus they had promised to bring Uverse to my whole county by 2010. Now I'm paying like $50-60 for speeds that they say is highspeed. Also my speeds are getting worse since they're trying to drop my old service for Uverse, which also sucks, but only for businesses. Maybe a lawsuit is in order?

I had AT&T DSL with DirecTV together because that was all that was offered in my area besides Comcast. We tried this for 8 months, but the internet barely worked. It kept breaking, literally a component in the street broke twice. Not only was it spotty, they never discounted it for not working. They expected us to pay full price for part time service. Eventually I cancelled, and still they are trying to get me to pay for a final day period even though I only had service for days. Just awful all around. On the phone with them again. And not only that, they are awful to communicate with. It's all, "I understand, but there isn't anything I can do." Then why am I talking to you?

It took four months and several frustrating calls to resolve this issue. I cancelled my Premium channels before the deadline but was still charged for them. When I called, I was told that they bill in advance but that I would receive a credit next month. The next month I called and a representative told me just to not pay the amount since I was due a credit. I did this and AT&T cancelled my service. When I called I was told that there was no record of any representative telling me to do that. I had to pay the amount so that they could credit my account. They "generously" did not charge a fee to reconnect my service.
The next two months still did not come with a credit. I called monthly and after 2 reps hung up on me, I was given a partial credit. They always ask for a number to call in case of a disconnection but they have yet to call me back. The customer service they have is awful, one pays too much money for lousy service. I will take my business elsewhere.

I am reaching out on social media because I've been trying to reach out to AT&T for the last two months, hopefully somebody at AT&T will see this and actually HELP a customer. On June 30th, I made a payment to AT&T for $150 which I believed to be the LAST payment on my husband's DSL internet account (the account is only in his name). The payment was made to an account number that AT&T does not recognize, therefore my money has been in limbo since June 30th and our bill has been sent to collections. With collection fees, our balance is now $200.79, which I have refused to pay until they have found my initial $150 payment.
Since June 30th, I have put 3 claims in with AT&T, all which I have received NO callback on after being promised multiple times. I have literally spent over 24 hours on the phone with AT&T in all and have been hung up on multiple times and transferred to several different departments each time I call, in which I have to explain my story again each and every time. I am tired of telling my story. My last claim was put in on Thursday, August 11th. I received a call from my mother on Saturday, August 13th, letting me know that she received a $150 credit to HER bill (which has my name on it because she pays our bill on a family cellular plan) and they could not tell her why or where it came from other than it was a credit from an ACH payment. Odd that my claim was a $150 ACH payment...
I called AT&T this morning and I am still currently on the phone with them as I type this for over an hour and a half now. I spoke with someone on the AT&T cellular side who CONFIRMED that the $150 credit that went to my mother's account was a payment made on June 30th... which my mother confirmed she DID NOT make. This was my payment. I was then transferred to the account receivables department whom I asked why on earth this money would have been credited to an account that did not have my husbands name on it? The answer I received was that because the bank account I initially made the $150 had my name on it... and my mother's cell phone account has my name on it. They took a wild educated guess based on CUSTOMER LOCATION that it was the same Kirsti ** on her account as the Kirsti ** that made the payment on my husband's account, and credited her account.
THANK GOD that it went to my mother's account, but why on earth would they send our money to an account that has no direct connection on our claim other than my name! I can only imagine if that wasn't me and they just sent it to some other Kirsti ** and I had to open another 5 claims to fix that mistake too! Moral of this is, I would like the $150 that was credited to my mother's cell phone bill to remain there. I purchased internet from AT&T so I could work from home and since we cancelled our account and have been dealing with all of this, my mother's bill has shot up in internet usage charges.
On the other hand, I would like compensation on my husband's account, because there is now $200.97 in collections and I was hung up on AGAIN after being put on hold by a MANAGER to speak to a higher up manager! I was also told last week by ANOTHER MANAGER that he was going to put a $75 credit on our account. This was never recorded or done!
I AM DONE WITH AT&T and I will NEVER use their services again. This is not even half of everything I've dealt with in the last two months. I hope that someone who is actually willing to help a customer that was PAYING THEIR BILL, calls and offers us some sort of compensation for this nightmare. I will continue to put my story out there until someone reaches out to me, because I am done spending hours every other day on the phone and getting told "too bad, so sad".

I have been trying to get my order processed for far too long. It has taken too many attempts, supervisors, verifications and promises. I ordered with a nice girl over the phone at my new address (haven't had uverse for a year because I hadn't found my new place yet). She combined it with my wireless account for a promotion and scheduled an appointment for the upcoming Saturday. Then I got a text that the order management dept needed help with my order.
I called and they said the previous tenant still had service here and I needed send proof of residence. I did so that same day and was told my Sat appointment was still good. The next day I go the same text and called again. Apparently some had changed my order to be at the old address I haven't lived at or had service at in a year. They changed this without my knowledge or permission and said they had to cancel that order and re key it. They said there was no other possible way to fix it so they cancelled it and sent me back to sales to process the order. They said it was processed no problem I should be fine. Same day I get another message there's a problem. Apparently they put the new order at the wrong address again. They have to cancel and re key. No other possible way to fix it. Lather rinse repeat for 3 days!!! Sometimes when I call NO order was processed previously and sometimes it's at the wrong address.
Finally I ask to speak to a supervisor and there are none available. The agent tried to assist me anyway, offered to waive some fees and confirm the address. She did all of that and said that if she had received an error it would go on hold again but she didn't so it shouldn't. Well it did so I called again and was told again to verify the address. I sent my verification 3 more times and they claimed it was processed. I got another message later stating it was on hold again. I finally got to speak to a supervisor and she promised me that she had processed it at the correct address and with the verification. She promised me multiple times I would get no more calls about the order until my appointment which she moved to Monday because they offered my Seat to someone else. Not five minutes after I got off the phone with her, I had 6 missed calls from her dept. I called them back and they said they need to verify the address.
I asked the agent to just cancel the order and never call me again. 20 minutes later I received another call that my order needed attention and I told them to cancel the order. It was then I was informed that they can't cancel the order. They have to transfer me to the Authorization department. They promised to personally transfer me and explain the situation and help me out but they disconnected me instead. Meanwhile, my roommate and I are getting overage charges elsewhere, and there's only one other internet service provider in our area, who can't help us for 2 more weeks.

They said my card has a restriction that it will clear up in 11 days. I said "Ohhh no I paid already. I want my internet." They said "Sorry sir we can't do that." So I said "Put my money back on my card cause I'm not waiting 11 days. I'll just pay in cash in person." So I go to the AT&T to pay it they ask for phone number name and address. I pay and go home. A day later still no internet so I call and they said that I paid some other person's bill which is my dad. We have the same name and address - they made that mistake and then told me I have to wait 5 days for a email to be sent so they can switch the money from my dad account to my account which is ridiculous. So if I pay a bill I have to worry about AT&T putting my money in a account I have nothing to do with at all.
I'm so angry I spent 400 bucks and I got nothing.

I signed up for service at the AT&T store. I specifically asked if there was a contract and the sales rep told me no. When the technician came to install service he found I could not get DirecTV and offered AT&T's cable service instead. I asked if I could still watch DVR'd shows from my laptop or devices and he said yes. Due to the change from the original DirecTV order to AT&T cable, I had to speak with someone in billing to authorize the change. While doing so she pointed out there was a contract period. I told her I was told there was not, and she said the sales rep was wrong.
After using the service, when I went to watch my shows on my laptop, I could not. Only if they were available on demand, which many weren't, or by skipping the Uverse site & going directly to the network's site could I watch my shows from my laptop. AT&T will tell you whatever lies they need to get you to sign up, and then will not follow through. If you cancel you are penalized for terminating the contract, never mind the fact that you were told there was not a contract.

I've been a Uverse customer for a year now, since I moved into my townhouse. Unfortunately, AT&T is the only company that services this complex due to some contract the management has with them. I had a 12-month promotion when I moved in. A month before the promotion was set to expire, I called to negotiate new terms. The agent I got told me I could get a great deal if I combined my Uverse internet with DirecTV. So I agreed to this. He said I would even get my internet speed increased. He informed me that my internet service would be turned off the morning of the install, but that the installer would have everything set up for me that very afternoon. I was fine with this, and was excited to get TV service again since I have not had it for a year.
The day of the install, the internet turned off as expected. Then the installer arrived that afternoon. Unfortunately he said he would not be able to install the satellite dish due to some trees. I said that was fine and to just go ahead and install the internet then. To my shock, he told me that he doesn't do internet installs.
Clearly AT&T had dropped the ball at some point. I called them to have my internet turned back on. They told me that they could not just turn my internet back on and that it would require an installer to come out. The soonest they would be able to get another installer out would be approximately two weeks due to the installers being so busy in my market. I was appalled. They turned my internet off and now were not going to turn it back on for two weeks. I called multiple times that day, escalating the call to a retention specialist who quite rudely told me that my only options were to wait until they could get an installer out, or cancel my service with AT&T.
I finally tried one more time calling back that night. I got a wonderful agent named Tatiana who genuinely seemed concerned and wanted to help me. She tried a few times to reset my current modem and to restore internet to me. It didn't work, but she offered to get someone to my house the very next morning! The next morning TWO technicians showed up to get my internet working. It took a few hours. They said someone at AT&T had messed up my account quite badly and many things needed to be reset, including a couple trips to an AT&T box that is located off of the property.
But in the end, I did have internet. I had told the installers about all the trouble I had getting AT&T to send someone out quickly, and they seemed shocked. They told me that they are not generally very busy. Now, on top of all of this, AT&T is trying to charge me an installation fee, despite having been told by two different agents that there would be no installation fee. So, it seems I will have to call them again.
I am very upset about the service I received from AT&T, even though in the end they did manage to get the problem fixed. It should not, however, take that many phone calls to correct a mistake that the company made. For this reason, I cannot recommend that anyone use this company if there is an alternative. I know that as soon as I move, or as soon as the law changes preventing companies from having monopolies on residential complexes, I will be switching that day to Comcast, who I had for years prior to moving and loved them.

We just purchased a summer vacation home in Michigan and called AT&T for TV, Internet & Phone service. They came out and installed the Internet & Phone but could not install TV as there were too many trees for DirecTV and their bandwidth in the area would not support their traditional cable system. So they cancelled the TV portion of the order and rescheduled for another try with a supervisor & another tech. The second try was also unsuccessful. We left for a month and upon our return, we contracted with COMCAST for the three services as I don't want separate bills.
So today, after two tries on the phone w/AT&T customer service, their cancellation department rep ("Chi", **) tells me there is a $150 early contract termination fee - They couldn't supply the service as I wanted and now they are charging me $150 to cancel. My monthly service bill was paid in full. The Rep claims that my termination wasn't done in a "reasonable" amount of time and therefore the charge stays. It's apparent that his job is to collect any/all fees possible. So never again. TO ALL - Be warned about AT&T.

Then you call them up, and after numerous call getting dropped, you decide to cancel the service, and they finally offer to settle and offer you a deal similar to what you had before, and a credit for the money they were trying to steal from you, so you finally gave in and pay the past due amount and decide to stay with them. This is the summary of over 3 hours WASTED! And I mean wasted, because a week later your service is interrupted and you call in, you find out that NOTHING was done... prices still twice as it should be and they try to start the transferring game all over again. Frustrated at this point, and I promise myself I will never ever have any type of service with this company!!! Get real AT&T. There plenty of option out there. Either improve yours, or just go out of business already!!!

AT&T U-verse is the worst. They have this continual system of raising your bill, you after endless discussion finally get some sort of discount that you are "eligible" for but it's only for a period of time. Then your bill jumps back up again and you must go through the same process over and over again. Also, you are treated poorly as a long term, pay on time customer. They offer the great deals to people they are attempting to woo to their terrible company. Over the years my bill has crept up from around $105 to $259.00 my last bill. It was terrible. It's a stressful process speaking to their representatives and this last bout was the worst. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy! Stay away from AT&T U-verse at all costs. Believe me you will never be satisfied.

Have you ever tried to get ahold of a live rep? It's like a maze that you have to get through. Horrible hold time. Today I am still on hold after 25 minutes! SMH. Feels like you guys have gotten so big and you just see your clients as a number. You need to pay people money for their time! When you call in and have been on hold and it reaches 6pm, you're still on hold in the system but the reps have already gone home because they only work until 6pm. I really wish that FTC would allow more competition for DSL services in my area and put you guys out of business. 0 support, horrible client care service and you get the runaround. You need to have a callback service when the line frees up and not waste your customer's time.
