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.

    I switched from DISH to AT&T Uverse and I do love the extra features, channels and service. However, the AT&T Uverse app for mobile devices is terrible. The app I had with DISH allowed me to watch anything on my DVR or live TV or anything on my subscriptions (HBO, Showtime). The AT&T Uverse app does not. It is horrible. I have about 50 stations I can watch live TV on and they are stations I generally never watch anyway and I cannot access 99% of the shows on my DVR from my iPhone, iPad or laptop. It is a terrible app and I hate it. Be forewarned if you travel a lot or just like using your mobile devices.

    U-Verse and its Unified Billing Department claims that I signed up for U-Verse on September 5, 2015 at 7AM. I never had signed up for U-Verse, nor received any billing directly from U-Verse. I found out that I was signed up with U-Verse when all of my wireless lines were disconnected. Just like all of you commented, I had spent myriad number of hours getting switched back and forth from representatives. Agent # ** could not solve anything, transferred to his supervisor, which later was transferred to an equipment division. To make the long story short, U-Verse can only cancel the service once the wireless billing balance becomes $0.00. That is not a major issue, but I requested to investigate how I was signed up for U-Verse in the first place, but they had no way of finding it out during the call.

    My wireless service had been interrupted by Unified Billing Department twice, when AT&T Wireless division had no issues with my account. The time I spent, and important business calls to be received during the service interruption are extremely frustrating. My advice to all AT&T users is be very careful talking to any AT&T agent, visiting an AT&T store, or when on AT&T website. Always carefully listen and read their disclosed articles. U-Verse and its Unified Billing Department will at some point make your day/days miserable. I am a first time user of posting comments on this site, and would need some of your advices how to report to Consumer Affairs of such matter.

    In 2014 I "blindly" signed up with AT&T as my internet provider. The previous homeowner had service with them, so I chose to continue service with AT&T as at the time, I felt they offered a good deal. If I knew then what I know now, my wallet would be a bit thicker, I would have all the strands of hair back that I pulled out while dealing with their customer service, and I would be more of a sane person today. There is not a single operator that speaks the slightest bit of understandable English language, each person gives a different story, my bill has never been the same amount month to month, random unauthorized additions appear on my account at times. Basically, I despise AT&T, inside out, up and down and all around!! I have pulled my last wad of hair out over you!

    I used to think that Time Warner Cable was the worst you could get, so I ditched them and went with AT&T U-verse. Well AT&T has turned into what Time Warner once was. Started out Jan 2015 when my discounts with U-verse were going to expire and I called to find out what new ones were available - come to find out none were so I started thinking about cutting the cord. Regardless the agent transferred me to someone that could look at my account and maybe let me keep service at what I was already paying for. So after talking to her, I was able to upgrade from 18mbps to 24mbps (mind you when I had 18mbps I was easily getting 22mbps) and keep my cable all for what I was already paying for another year. Well throughout the year I never had close to 24mbps, more like 10-15mbps at best.

    I would call and they would tell me no problem - now I'm no dummy, I have an idea of how internet speed works (I work for a computer company) so honestly I probably know more than the people AT&T hires to work technical support... my guess was that after the upgrade they gave me, there was a problem on their server with how I was getting my service. In addition I had random modem shut downs and restarts. Ultimately I had a technician come to my apartment, said he knew my problem (said he saw all the modem reboots) and upgraded my modem (3rd one I had in less than 6 mo) to the Gigapower modem even though I can't get Gigapower where I live.

    Well his 'upgrade' worked for about a month or so and was back to poor speed and otherwise poor performance. Can't count the times I called technical support or that I was watching a movie when my modem decided to do a reboot. Finally this year I decided I was going to cut the cord and get rid of AT&T once and for all.

    Called them in January to find out when I could cancel service without penalty and they told me February 7, two agents told me this. So I cancelled service and thought hat was that, got Time Warner internet (so much faster for less $$ than what AT&T charged). Anyway come a month and a half later, I went to my AT&T account just cause I had a feeling they were gonna do something and sure enough they did - I got charge an early termination fee - $15+tax. So I called them today to get it removed - got connected to this pretentious sounding guy (Matt) in what I believe was the cancellation department. This guy didn't want to help at all... even though he answered the phone saying "how can I provide you outstanding service?"

    When I explained my issue to him, he immediately responded "Please tell me why we should credit you back." The way he said it was not a simple question but almost as if he was on a throne and I was a commoner trying to get my farm back after being seized. Not to mention the guy kept talking over me, as if I wasn't allowed to get in anything other than what I told him already. This guy wasn't gonna budge - according to him my contract ended on 2/12 and not 2/7. I ended up hanging up on that guy just cause of his attitude like he was better than me. Ended up trying chat and while initially was told they could help after 20 mins on there and several times explaining my issue, the guy tells me he can't help with crediting my account.

    AT&T used to be awesome - they beat Time Warner at service, quality and internet speed. Time Warner finally figured it out, and improved their service. I get 100mbps for $49.99/mo - AT&T offers 45mbps (fastest if you can't get Gigapower) for around $65 I think last I looked. I think it's obvious what speed is best for the money. I regularly get 115-120mbps although I only pay for 100mbps. I am done with AT&T... they will never be my provider again and I will do whatever in my power to tell others not to make the mistake of doing business with them.

    Our household has paid for Uverse cable for yrs; several months ago, via a telephone conversation, a Uverse rep convinced my elderly father to stay with Uverse service, while the rep also told him that Uverse would give our household free premium cable movie channels through February 2016. There was no discussion about any expectation that we would need to do anything to cause the free premium movie channel service to stop, and there was no verbal or written agreement to anything other than our expectation that it is Uverse's sole responsibility to stop providing the free service at the end of their promo period. We in no way approved receipt of premium channels past the free period, and we in no way agreed to any payment for premium channels, ever!

    Yesterday, my father called to tell a Uverse rep it appeared we still had access to premium channels even though Uverse should have removed that access. The rep told him they have billed us for those channels this month, and then no matter what my father explained to him, the rep threatened my father that if we did not pay the bill, Uverse would cancel all of our Uverse services. Uverse is engaged in illegal activity here by trying to make us pay for services for which we did not provide any approval, and by threatening to cancel all of our Uverse service if we don't pay for those services for which we did not provide any approval. I would like to see someone put a stop to Uverse's revolting attempts to cheat the elderly, or cheat anyone for that matter.

    AT&T Uverse internet - television - A company as large as AT&T shouldn't have to resort to fraud and extortion to make its billions as well as abusing senior citizens with lies using the USPS to promote fraud and steal from the elderly. I received a solicitation in the mail from AT&T Uverse what I thought was an ok deal so I signed up for AT&T Uverse service - was told I would receive 200 television channels and free HBO for 3 months plus internet service all for 70 some dollars a month with a year's commitment (found out later the same service was offered online for 40.00 dollars a month) - got it installed with direct wire through the phone line - started having problems almost immediately watching tv one night - it just turned off - was off for many hrs.

    I called customer service and was told there was no problem as they ran a check on the line and everything was fine. Well ok - what did I know and at that time the tv was back and working again so no big deal. Well here's where it gets fun: I soon found out that with the 200 channels they offered me 60-80 of them weren't even television at all but something called Stingray radio stations???? Hmmm what this? I can get free radio on the RADIO. How do you watch radio??

    I ask, another 40-50 stations were all non English speaking. Guess they want me to expand my intellect, learn a foreign language as I am an English speaking American, I don't understand Spanish or Iranian, Tagalog what have you, so HMMM??? It gets even better. Another 40-50 stations are ecommerce home shopping stations selling women's shoes, jewelry dresses makeup etc. Well being a man what would I want with these?? Maybe become a crossdresser buy lots of stuff. So much for the 200 station tv deal! After taking away all the "so called 180 stations from the 200" I was supposed to receive there remained only about 5-10 that were watchable and I never could connect to my free HBO that was supposed to come with the package. Well the internet service was lousy from the start. Whenever I was online I would get disconnect repeatedly.

    Phoned CS again and was told same story. "The line is fine no problem." As it continued to disconnect I was back to the phone with CS - was told that they did not have any record of my previous calls or problems so when I asked to speak with a supervisor I was transferred to India. The supervisor if that was whom I was talking with promised to call me back within a couple of hrs after checking on my service and he told me that for another 75-100 dollars a month I could get another 100 stations that were actually tv stations and not the so called junk that comes with the cheap 200 station package. Well sorry but NO THANKS. And that if I wanted to cancel my service I would be charged 150.00 dollar early termination fee. Hmmm extortion??? For bad service that was a fraud from the get go! Well needless to say I never heard from him again either, no call back at all.

    So rather than pay for lies fraud and further abuse from AT&T I canceled the service, now that I have terminated the unsatisfactory, lousy, terrible, fraudulent, dishonest service package that I was sold they are threatening to ruin my credit by trying extort an $150.00 early termination fee and by sending me to a collection agency and threatening to ruin my credit if I don't pay extortion money to prevent this and to compensate them for providing me with nothing - Hmmmm! They never provided me with the service I signed up to receive and that I paid for and then they are trying to extort more money from me for lies and problems that they refused to fix from the beginning. Well what can be done?? Dont ever use AT&T or Uverse. Whatever you do find another service provider.

    In December 2015, I contacted AT&T requesting U-Verse internet service. I was told that U-verse was available to me and a time/date was arranged to have the service installed. I took off from work to be there for the install. On the date of the installation a technician came to my home and informed me that U-Verse was actually not available in my location. He left with no additional explanation. In late February, my next door neighbor who lives 25 yards from me had U-Verse installed in her home. She was surprised that I was unable to get it. By coincidence, or perhaps not, an AT&T representative called me a few days later to inform me that U-Verse was now available to me. I agreed to have it installed and again an appointment was set for March 14, 2016 from 9-10 AM. I stayed home from work to meet the technician.

    Today is March 14, and no technician came to install U-Verse as scheduled, so I called the AT&T customer service number at 800-288-2020 to find out why. I was told that the AT&T engineer had decided that U-Verse was not available to me. This in spite of the fact that my neighbor has the service and I have been told over the phone that it was now available to me. AT&T apparently has no clue what’s going on with their U-Verse system. Their customer service is terrible and I have been passed along to as many as 4 reps in one phone call or online help session. Needless to say, I am not a happy AT&T customer. Worse yet, I am still without internet service.

    Overjoyed when I was able to kick Comcast to the curb and sign with AT&T. What a bad move. At least with Comcast I had not expectations. AT&T TV shuts off after 3 hours, internet so slow that I could walk away and come back, & 8 customer service calls with 7 visits from reps (2 reps came back after the fact on their own time). After 2 months of calls and being dissatisfied, I finally went back to Comcast. AT&T tried to make me feel they were rewarding me by letting me out of a contract.

    What Contract??? Why would you need a contract for a company that should have great service? Well because that is the only way they can hook a customer into staying with service that is subpar. The first call of canceling, I was told that they were refunding my 2 months of payments for a service that was 50% at best. Of course, they lied. I had to eat crow and go back to Comcast since AT&T only gave me 6 Mbps compared to a no contract and 80 Mbps for a cheaper rate. RUN, GO ANYWHERE ELSE. It took 5 phone calls to stop receiving bills. A waste of moments taken off your life.

I've spent 13 hours on the phone between customer service and tech support and still no service. I have spoken to 9 different representatives and get a different explanation from each one. I've been disconnected from our conversation and they have never called me back on the contact number I've given them. I would never recommend their service as it's the worst ever.

    We switched to AT&T U-verse (it's only been one month!). The quality of the cable is horrendous and prices are outrageous! The customer service is poor! They are thieves! We were told our bill would be $80 a month (steep to begin with). We were charged for an entire month of service from February 2nd to the 5th (plus activation fees), amounting to $170!!! How is this possible?? "There's nothing we can do about it", they say. Of course, I thought our first bill would be March 2nd, considering that was our date of activation, I knew it would be slightly expensive because of activation, whatever... I went to check, only to find a hefty bill of $300!!! How on earth can they rob someone like that? $300 for one month of horrific service??? Do not under any circumstances use their service!!!

    I have been a customer of AT&T for many years and I have had numerous issues with their pricing and unscrupulous ways. They will always try to sneak price increases almost every few months. When you call and threaten to drop their services, they always send you to customer retention who inevitably will offer discounts, some with contact commitments to bring your bill back to where it was all along. This last incident was a clear bait and switch. I contacted AT&T to find out why my plan which had been just corrected a few months ago had again started to climb. When I told them I wanted to leave, they switched me to customer retention. After about 90 minutes of discussing options, I was convinced that a switch to U-verse, but with the DirecTV will be a much better option and that it would save me about $40 per month.

    I was assured over and over that my services would remain the same and that my total package would now be $129 per month plus about $10 in tax. I decided to take the bait and commit to the two year contract. A couple of days later AT&T sent me an email with my new monthly billing. Price listed was $150 per month which is only $27 less than the basic service that I have been paying for and not the $40 savings. When you add in the cost of having to pay for the shipping of the new DirecTV equipment, my monthly savings were even less.

    To top it off, the service rep gave me a phone number to call to get back in touch with him or his supervisor. I have called that number for three days and 5 calls and have left message which nobody ever returns. I will only keep my AT&T service only long enough to get my antenna and my VoIP internet phone going, then I will shop for a good internet only service and cut the cord.

On 3/9/16 I called & was told the "best" price they could offer was $98 plus taxes. They told me point blank that the retention department is the ONLY department that can lock in prices. Don't listen to the sales people. They don't have the authority to guarantee prices. BEWARE. BTW my phone call took 1 hour and 6 minutes & I was transferred 4 times.

    Since December 2015 my husband and I continue to try to use the internet. It doesn't matter if you're using a LAN line directly connected from the router to the computer or wireless. We continue to lose service even in the middle of surfing simple web pages. We have called four times in the past couple months. It still has the problem. A couple weeks ago they provided a new router. It seems to be worse.

    Today, I have lost services eight times. I refuse to pay my bill until this is fixed. They stated that if they fix anything else, "We" have to pay the extra fees. I need someone to help get AT&T to listen. I am an Information Technology professional. Internet should stay connected. It continues to drop off on a ongoing basis. It makes it even more challenging when I get people who can't even understand English. I refuse to pay any more money on this account. This is by far the worse internet service I have ever had in my life. Why is this allowed? And why should I have to pay for the technical fixes?

    We bought a house, and since we were so happy with the services we chose to transfer our AT&T U-verse cable. The original transfer was supposed to take place on Saturday, but while we were at work they showed up on Friday. After three hours on the phone they promised someone would come out Sunday. On Saturday two gentlemen from this company came out to make sure all the cables were set up so that Sunday he could be in and out with the installation. They specifically said "They don't usually work on Sundays but because of the misunderstanding, they scheduled it anyways." No one showed up!!! We sat at home ALL day waiting, and no one came. I missed two tests because this company is so unorganized and I was without internet unexpectedly.

    I ordered service in mid Jan. 2016. I specifically ordered 2 phone lines, U200 because of certain channels and the internet. I was quoted 199.09 including taxes, etc. They came to install and their instructions were one phone line and the cheapest channel set Family Uverse. So the customer service was contacted and they offered the U300 at the same price because of a promotion. My numbers weren't released from other company I left so I was given two temp phone numbers. I was told they were waiving the installation charge, but there was no mention of an activation fee. At first I was told I'd get a 250.00 visa card for switching to them, then when done it dropped to 125.00. It is March and have not gotten either.

    I got the first bill for 218+ and I figured I'd eat it. Then this month I get a bill for over 241.00 and I was shocked! The equipment price went from 9.00 each to 10.00 each between the two bills. There was a charge for changing the phone numbers and a charge for upgrading. I had checked my e bill around 5am. and decided to do a chat about 6am. Lasted for one hour and a half between three associates. The last one was trying to say that everything would be taken care of and said a supervisor would call sometime after 8am.

    I was home until afternoon and returned about 6pm. No calls on caller ID or messages on email. So I called the 800 number at 6:10pm and got the rudest customer service person I have ever spoken with. She would not listen and told me what she said I ordered. I had to hang up before I said something bad. I decided to try and chat again the next evening (3/04/2016). The first associate I had got frustrated and handed me over to her manager. He basically wrote me off and said to call the 800 number. I told him that I already had and thanked him and hung up. I am going to try and get somebody to listen to the so called recordings that they say when someone calls. I am furious and have figured it seems almost like a bait and switch. I waited for years to get the service in my area and am sorely disappointed. Don't know what else to do.

A line technician was not available until the following day. I called customer service to complain as I work from home and must have the internet.

I requested a $500 credit and was told that the customer service rep was filing a claim for that amount due to lost wages.

    The AT&T wireless mobility division has been great, customer service, billing, and services. The Uverse division is the worst company!!! At best extremely poor customer care, their billing, NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE FRUSTRATION AND DISAPPOINTMENT ~ OVERCHARGING!! NO EXPLANATION to bill charges etc. etc. and it goes on. Their actual internet services and tv services were the best. I canceled Uverse and have been struggling to get a refund check back that they owe me plus I've had a horrible time to get them to cancel me from their billing system and release me to AT&T wireless mobility billing system. I have wireless phone service with AT&T too. I give AT&T Uverse a minus 5 star rating! They don't deserve even the one star. I will never recommend Uverse to anyone unless I really hate them!!

    AT&T U-Verse increase the monthly bill without any notice in the middle of the contract year which has signed for. After talking with them they would just that a fee increase on service. Very unprofessional attitude while talking on phone about the matter. The manager just put me hold for 30 min and then disconnected without resolving or talking about it. Very disappointed that I cannot break for signing up with them.

    I've had an AT&T landline & U-verse TV internet for 8 years. Every couple of years they suggest I switch over to U-verse phone service. It all sounds great; they'll switch me over & I'll save $15 a month. Problem is, & I always forget this & they never mention it, but the "switching" will require me doing things with equipment on my end. They send me something the size of a car battery I'm supposed to do something with - I'm never sure what. Also, they tell me, unlike my current phone landline, a 3rd party battery backup system is required to make call 911 in an emergency. None of this is mentioned in sales pitch. There's no stinking switch, just the nightmare of trying to hook something up for the first time and jeopardize everything that I have working now just the way I like finally. I'll end up trashing the battery-type thing as they provide no way of returning it which I hate to do as it's so wasteful.

    And they never mention if you live in an apt as I do, the whole thing may not work anyway but they do try to keep a list of those places. Great! I don't blame their poor employees who they give no support or training they are victims too. I've come to believe the AT&T big shots hate their employees as much as they hate their customers &, judging from their phone menu system (which is atrocious), they'd like to get rid of us both if they could figure a way to just suck the $ out of our accounts. There's no receipt - they will just change my billing; but I'm cancelling this whole mess first thing in the morning - for 3rd time. I'm in my 70s, they keep misrepresent this "switching" of my landline to U-verse phone service & I keep falling for it.

    We pay max amount for data streaming, yet data is very slow to residents. Certain functions to search via cable box extremely slow to respond. Good selection, but way overpriced considering all of the infomercial channels we have to go through to get to those that we are paying for. Recently have had to re-boot cable box a couple of times a week, which ends up resetting programs we're trying to record. Would like to see more recording space and ability to set up multiple recording files for various family members. Would also like to see automatic upgrade to new/improved cable boxes when they are made available instead of them only being a replacement if the current box fails.

I had no HD channels. I had to reorder 450. First off they admitted they did not give me the bandwidth I had been paying for $52 monthly. In fact it was 50%.

    I had to have service at least once a week the first few weeks. It was at least the 6th call before they figured out that my system had been shorted out and I was not getting the signal that I should. In the meantime I had to reboot often. I had service people not show up for service. I would say that right now AT&T does not know how to operate a cable service. I would change but it is just not possible for me to go through the adjustment period again. The phone and Internet are fine. The tv service is subpar. The service is poor but I pay $60 per month less than I did with my previous company. I have had to have many service calls and I often have to reboot losing programming in the meantime. I dislike having to enter 4 digits to get a HD channel. Sometimes I cannot do it before the system switches to a 3 digit non HD option.

    Have tried over the years to get our bill to a manageable rate, but just have not been able to, after many calls to the office. We are now going to disconnect from cable entirely very soon. The quality of services was just mediocre. If I could go into negative numbers, I would. Our bill has crept up from our first bill around $100, to almost $220/mo now, years later but with no more channels, or subscriptions. When asked I get no real answers, and when pushed to the limit, all I am offered is "we can lower your bill by $40/mo if you sign a 1 year contract." This is bad, very bad. We rarely had a problem with reliability, but several times we did and called, and took quite a while to get back to normal.

    The online chat for customer support is usually helpful, and the response times are quick. I like having that option when I have an issue to address. Our U-Verse goes out all the time. Sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for 2 days. It's so frustrating to pay for something that doesn't work. We aren't getting credits when this happens, and it's impossible to get a timeframe of when to expect it to come back on.

    Compared to other cable providers in our area, we do get a lot of channels for the price, and it includes DVR and some On Demand programming. That's a plus. The biggest negative is the spotty service, and the cable going out frequently. Our WiFi is also a bit spotty. Our house is only 1,000 sq. ft., but you can't get service in the bedrooms. The WiFi also only works well in the same room as the router.

    I have been a Directv customer for about 10 years. Ever since AT&T bought them they have gone downhill faster than a car with no brakes. The customer service has extensive wait times of over 15 minutes each time I have called in. I pay my bill religiously on time and in full monthly. I got tired of paying for Directv and called to cancel in my bedroom. They stopped the service that day in November 2015. When I called, the person in customer service turned on paperless billing, which I would never do! I had not seen a bill or even an email and I wondered why, especially after I got an automated call saying I was past due. I call in, pay what was due and then they turned back on the paper bill. If they cannot discount my service I will keep getting the paper.

    I then tried to pay my January bill and when I went to the website for Directv it would not let me get into my account, but I could do the programming crap. I clicked to change my password in hopes that would resolve the issue, but once I clicked it took me to the AT&T website to change it, so I did, but the password would still not work, so I called today, waited on hold again for 15 minutes and then I asked for the cancellation department where I was greeted by Anthony in Utah. Anthony is a real piece of work. I explained the whole story to him and he was like "that would be frustrating", so I said maybe Dish can get it right and his response was "probably not?" When did Anthony work at Dish? That should of stayed in his head. Directv and AT&T have lost a customer. Cell phone service with AT&T cancelled after 10+ years, Directv cancelled after 10 years and next is the Digital Life from AT&T after 3 years. I will take my money somewhere else.

    I have AT&T U-verse Broadband in my home and I have DISH TV for my TV service. Ever since AT&T acquired DirecTV there has been a problem with AT&T and my DISH Service. I had an AT&T service rep come out for a service call. They had to switch out my modem. They gave me new codes to reconnect all my computers, TV, and devices to my home network and the new modem. Problem is there is a "+" sign in the code and DISH TV does not offer a "+" sign in their TV Programming keys.

    So there is no way for me to connect my AT&T Broadband to my television sets but there is a twist. I was able to key this code and the "+" sign into my Smart TV by going around the DISH Remote but not my older flat screen and my smart TV worked fine for over 2 weeks allowing me to purchase pay per view etc. then one day I called in because I had a question about a movie charge and they saw that I had service on my Smart TV and they STOPPED MY SERVICE. Now I can't get service on either TV. This has been this way for over 2 months yet I still have to PAY MY BILL IN FULL as if I HAVE the SERVICE. This distresses me!!

    When I told DISH I was having a problem and they don't have a "+" symbol on their keypad so I can't problem my code to hook up to AT&T broadband but that I HAD it working on my Smart TV they told me to "call AT&T and get them to change my code. There is nothing Dish can do." The answer I got back from the AT&T rep that installed the new modem was "I can change your code but every time there is a power surge or storm or electric goes out for any reason and the modem resets you'll have to continue to call in for a new code each time." I said "can't you just give me a modem with a code that is compatible." He said "we have no way of knowing what code you're going to get until we install another modem."

    My question is this, "WHY doesn't DISH or AT&T WORK TOGETHER to SUPPORT THE CUSTOMERS NEEDS Especially since I'M PAYING FOR IT??? Why is it my problem when DISH has inadequate key symbols and why is it MY PROBLEM when AT&T can't accommodate DISH Equipment??? I just want to watch freaking movies and get services I'm paying for each month. That's all I'm asking for... I want what I'm paying for, that's all. Is that too much to expect. I know Dish has a box that does have the "+" symbol but that will cost me several hundred dollars more to upgrade. That is a BAIT AND SWITCH and sounds like a Pissing Contest between companies to me, a contest I have NO INTEREST in participating in... So just fix my damn TV!!!

    Their sales department promised an internet service that would be fast enough to work with our DirecTV (Satellite TV Service) to allow streaming of on-demand movies and shows without any buffering. They promised a free install. After 17 days of service with them we cancelled because it did not provide what was promised. From that point forward they attempted to bill us for an amount of 132.91. They would not explain what the charge was for. For the next 6 months I called them a total of seventeen times in an attempt to figure out why we owed them money. I was finally told that part of the money was installation charges, and that some of it was for equipment not returned, which it all was returned. Furthermore, on more than THREE occasions, we were told that that the account had been closed and that we no longer owed any money.

    The reason why I called so many times is because they sent the bill to collections even before we ever received the first bill from them, and because not a single person could explain what the bill was for. We were called by collections many times during that six month period. On December 8th, 2015, I called for the 17th time. I got a hold of a supervisor in San Diego. ID # **. She listened to my story and completely agreed that we should not have been billed for anything. Not for installation. And not for a service that failed to deliver what it promised. She promised that the account had been closed out and that we owed them nothing. She even TRIPLE checked it. On February 15, 2016, I got a call from yet another collection agency stating that we owe 132.91. They also state that my credit will start to take a hit.

    This complaint is that they are billing us for services not rendered. It is also that they are attempting to bill us for installation fees when there was a promise of free installation. And lastly, it for telling us on FOUR separate occasions that the account had been closed out and that we owed nothing, only to find out that it was sent to collections. Let it be known that I called them again today, on February 15, 2016, because today I received yet another call from collections. I talked with John in Delhi India, ID # **.

    I am complaining about collection harassment we received for U-verse service we no longer have. We had U-verse service until May 7, 2015. This included TV, phone and Internet. We were not satisfied with U-verse right from the start. Their salesman told us when we signed up that there was a special promotion which included premium TV channels for something like 6 months, all for the price of the basic service during that time. However, when the first bill arrived, it was for the full price. When I called to question this, I was told that we had signed up for U-verse a week TOO EARLY!!! The promotion did not start till the following week. I couldn't believe it! Either the salesman lied to us or he didn't know, in which case I'd say he wasn't qualified to do the job. We certainly would have waited another week to sign up if we had been told.

    Then, once we were with U-verse, our Internet was down on the average of once a month. I had to reboot the system in order to get it to work. This was very inconvenient, as it meant that we were also without phone or TV service during the reboot process. At least 3 or 4 times while we were with AT&T, all of the programs that I had recorded on the DVR would delete for no apparent reason. I also had a playback issue with the smaller DVR box, which was located in a bedroom. For the last year and a half or so that we had the U-verse service, when I would try to watch a program, it would go on pause for no reason. This happened most of the time. As their rates kept going up and the service kept getting worse, I decided it was time for a change, so we switched to Time Warner as of May 7, 2015.

    When I signed up with them over the phone, they asked me a series of questions to verify that they had my permission to transfer service from AT&T to Time Warner. I thought this took care of it and that when their tech came to install Time Warner, that would disconnect and cancel all the AT&T services then and there. I DID NOT KNOW THAT I WAS EXPECTED TO CALL AT&T to have the service cancelled. But that was what I was told by a very rude woman in August when I called after I got a bill that said I owed all the way through July.

    I realized that we were behind and still owed for services up to May 7. This has now been paid. The AT&T equipment was shipped back to them on August 12. The only reason it wasn't sent back sooner is that we were waiting for someone from AT&T to come and pick it up. We did not know how to get it back to them till we got the instructions in the mail in August and when we did, I sent it right away.

    We do not owe them for anything more. I don't mind paying for good services received. I do mind paying for very bad services, but reluctantly paid for them anyway, but will NOT pay anything for services that we never received or used. I wrote all this to AT&T in a letter on Sept. 25, 2015. I assumed that it had been taken care of and the bill cancelled, as I had no communication from them till yesterday, January 29, 2016, when I received a harassment letter from a collection agency called IC System, PO Box 64437, St. Paul, MN 55164-0437, (888) 241-5271.

    I filed a complaint at the end of January with the Better Business Bureau, only to receive a call from a very unpleasant woman called Lisa at the AT&T executive office, refusing to cancel the bill. She told me again that I was supposed to notify them at the time of the cancellation. How was I supposed to do this when I had no idea that it was necessary. I understood that the service would be turned off once I switched. This is not satisfactory. I want this bill cancelled NOW! I do not want any more calls from Lisa or anybody else at AT&T or their goon squad collection agency. This is a terrible company and I would not recommend them to anyone.

I received my bill guess what, it is all still on there and all they can say is, "We see that we said that but we have no promotions for that so we can't do anything about it." They make me pay my bill so why are they not held accountable? Be careful with AT&T you may be on the screwing end of things! I am now one ticked off customer so I hope word of mouth lets everyone know.

    Tried to call and see about bundling my home phone, uVerse and adding on uVerse TV. After 4 calls to customer service and them asking me about a security question and pin that myself nor my husband ever set up we couldn't make changes. Come to find out it's because I was calling on my cell phone and not the primary phone number. If someone had just said that from the start I would have called back from home later. Also, there's no way to set the 4 digit pin online. They suggested that I visit an AT&T store in person with my ID. Are they serious? Also, the security questions set on the account online apparently are totally different than the ones they use when you call. An internet company where you can't reset your security details either over the phone or online. They deserve to go out of business. Unacceptable.

    I have only had U-verse for a few months. I have had huge problems with them from the start. My TV would freeze and not tape my shows, or when it did tape I would get maybe 7 or 8 minutes worth. I would call and explain and I have been hung up on and talked to with much disrespect. They have sent a few different workers to my home to fix it. It wouldn't even be an hour later and my TV would freeze again. They give you a number to call with the tech's name & number and a promise that they will come back out themselves to fix it. THEY DON'T CALL BACK AT ALL!!! But my bills keep coming but my service just don't work. I have heard many bad things about U-verse. I only wish I knew ahead of time. Customer support is awful, and I get past to one person to another. I am done with this company!!! I am sitting here with my TV off as I write this review because it just went out again.

    I bought existing business with the phone number. I called AT&T and they insisted on opening a new account and scheduled appointment for tech to come here. The tech came and changed my number! I called AT&T over 10 times, everybody said that earlier person in AT&T U-verse did not tell me the correct thing! Now since morning the phone is totally dead - no dial tone even with so called temp number and I am calling again and again to AT&T as my business is suffering but nobody is solving this problem. The technician was here twice but tells me that they did not assign dial plan to my number and they will contact me in 48 hours to inform me as to when my phone will function again!

    I have been so very infuriated with AT&T Uverse since I moved to my current apartment. After countless missed appointments for them to install my setup, I had enough. Literally, I missed work at least 7 times to be at home for them to install my cable and internet and they missed the appointment with no call time and time again. There was never any apology or any attempt to make things right in any way. How professional... I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, because they then gave me an AT&T rep that I could utilize and reach out to when I had questions or concerns. That was a big load of crap, because I've reached out to him for 4 months trying to make adjustments to my account and he hasn't returned one of my phone calls. I was then set up with another rep who directed me to their customer service center where no one speaks a lick of English, and they don't know what they are talking about. Clueless.

    So I reached back out to this rep and he again directed me to this crap customer center line that couldn't help me before and said they were the only ones who could help me. He then informed me of how simple they would make the process for adjusting my account. I am currently on hold, and have been on this call for the last 2 to 3 hours. I have been transferred at least 5 times and no one seems to have a clue how to do anything related to the AT&T service; they simply ask you if there is anything else they can do. "Yes, you can do so and so, and okay sir, I will transfer your call to someone who can help you with that. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Kidding me? All I'm trying to do is cancel their crap cable service and keep my internet.

    I used to live in Greenville, NC where Suddenlink runs the monopoly. We all thought they were bad but they are saints compared to the Uverse idiots. Service is overcharged and good luck getting a technician in the case that you experience trouble. AT&T Uverse is the Kmart of Brooks Brothers. They don't try too hard to retain customers either. When I told them I wanted to cancel my cable because it is so vastly overcharged, they told me they would give me $5 off if I committed to 2 years. I thought this was a funny joke.

    Zero stars. As a long time DirecTV and Wireless customer, I thought I would take advantage of combining the account into one bill. After they disconnected twice the service and screwed up the bill three times I spent over 4.5 hours on the phone with technical support and billing before I finally had enough. It was nearly impossible to cancel as they try to con you into staying. We ended shutting down our DirecTV after 7 years and wireless after 10 years and the new U-verse internet. It won't be long before AT&T runs DirecTV into the ground. I wasn't going to wait around to get overcharged to watch it happen. Oh, and don't sign up for any promos because they will get you with a $135 early termination fee. AT&T is the worst.

    I have been a customer of AT&T for several years, and I have to say, I can't believe I'm paying $50 a month for this **. For God's sake, I'm lucky if I can go 30 minutes straight without my Internet breaking. A paraplegic man could finish running a mile before I can load up Google. No, that wasn't an exaggeration, I timed it myself. When I signed up for this service, I was getting about 30mbps, but now I have no idea because speedtest takes like 12 hours to finish. It's gotten to the point where I have been restricted from virtually all online activities (I'm writing this review using my company's WiFi). I have to play Minesweeper and Solitaire instead of DoTA and TF2, have to get off to Victoria's Secret magazines instead of Pornhub, have to watch recorded cassette tapes instead of Netflix streams.

    What's worse, customer support was utterly unhelpful. This one lady thought that megabits and megabytes were the same thing! Like, come the ** on, you're making the I.T. people cry, including myself. She ignored my calling her out, then proceeded to offer me an "upgrade" to the Platinum plan (31mbps for $70 a month instead of 30 for $50) which I refused for obvious reasons. I then hung up and contemplated my choices, and as of now I am planning to cancel this god-awful service.

    I have had AT&T service as long as I have had internet in my home... probably close to twenty years. In the last two years, this service has hit an all time low. Actually, since I bought the modem/router from AT&T, my service has sucked. I have constant problems of extremely slow and intermittent connections, even with all the green lights blinking, in all their glory. I call tech support frequently. Technicians come about once every two or three months. I, too, told them I thought it was a modem issue but was assured it was not. They sure didn't offer to try a new one. I am not going to pour another $100 into something unless I know it will work.

    The techs come, the service is decent, then within days, it sucks again. The last tech support person told me that everything was good from their side and this is the service I paid for. REALLY? I teach school and HAVE to do work at night. Sometimes I can, and sometimes I can't. I have ended up using my phone's hotspot when things get bad. If I had ANY other option, I would go with someone else; however, I live out in the country and am a bit limited on options. I also mentioned that I should be credited for ALL THE TIME that the service hasn't worked, but that didn't go over well. I would definitely tell anyone to NOT use this service. Ever. I would LOVE to share my experiences with anyone. Call me! Just don't email!

    Where to begin? Spent at least 12 hours on the phone and two complete weekends waiting on installers to switch from AT&T to DirecTV. AT&T couldn't figure out what they were doing. They set it up and we waited, no one showed. We called, they rescheduled, we waited, no one came. They told us they don't send people out to install at that time and THEY set it up. Spent 3 hours on phone that night, cancelled it. Called back to set it up, said it was a go. Following Saturday installer showed up and stayed at our house 2 1/2 hours and couldn't install because his orders were wrong. Set it up for next day. They installed, finally.

    I called the next day to make sure I wasn't paying for two services, waited on the phone 30 minutes after getting cut off once, finally had to go to work. Called back that night and they said they would make sure we wouldn't be billed for Uverse. Received bill yesterday for the next month of Uverse service, even though I called to cancel it twice. Noticed a new charge on bill too for internet equipment fee. She could only explain that since I switched to DirecTV that it changed my plan. There was NO mention of changing internet. Rep told me they told me that over the phone when we switched over to Direct. I WOULD have noticed them, saying, "By the way, you'll pay an extra charge for your internet because you're changing your tv service" because, DUH, I'm changing my TV service, not my internet. So they sneak stuff like that in and when you ask to speak to somebody else about it, she mumbled something about it being corporate, bull!

    They can change my plan, when I have a contract, but I cannot. So they can charge extra fees on my other services if they convince me to switch. Pretty shady. The bill is so confusing, and the prorated fees, equipment fees and surcharges, that you don't even know what is what. They tell you one promotion runs out but they'll look for another one, only to add something that you pay even more for in the long run. They say it so fast and without being able to explain it, that I cannot trust them. Now I am really stuck with a two year contract for DirecTV and who knows what for internet. I'm not even going to get started on my Wireless stuff!!

Then I find out that our alarm is not working because phone wires not connected.

Meanwhile I have been paying for monitored home alarm service that is not working because AT&T disconnected my alarm wiring and not notifying us that this was done. Now my phone lines keep saying "check the lines". Thank God that I didn't have a emergency that required that this service that I am paying for, call the police, fire department or medical for assistance.

    After years of being stuck with Uverse (I have no other service providers in the area), I have had my internet almost shut off at least half a dozen times in the past year. I was enrolled in autopay for two years without issue, but suddenly (NONE of my payment information has changed) I had a payment cancelled and billed as "invalid/outdated information".

    They charged me $60 as a late fee, my monthly bill is $67.00. I talked to customer service, and understanding it was late, I paid the bill and reenrolled in auto pay. It happened twice more, to the point I manually pay my bill the first of every month now, and the payments are still "cancelled". This has happened every other month last year (2015) and just happened again in January. They charge me $60 in late fees every month, though I've paid no more than a day late when I double check that the payment went through. Customer service claims it doesn't know why I have cancelled payments, as I don't use debit cards, but banking info to pay out of a special account set aside for bills. They refuse to waive and shut off my service. It has damaged my credit score and has been nothing but a frustration.

    They have me over a barrel, due to the fact that I have no other option for service until 5 months from now when Bright House will be coming to my neighborhood. I look forward to switching services. DON'T GET UVERSE and DOUBLE CHECK YOUR BILLS EVERYTIME YOU MAKE A PAYMENT. Otherwise, you'll be paying double for what pitiful service you receive and customer service doesn't care.

    UNBELIEVABLE!! I am with a small family owned business in Central Texas. On Monday, 02/01/16, we met with an AT&T technician at a new office warehouse location for the company. The technician measured the bandwidth at the end of the install and it was half of what we had been told we would receive. The owner made the decision on Monday to cancel the account due to low bandwidth plus additional fees quoted at time of install that he opted not to pay.

    The owner spent over an hour on the phone Tuesday trying to cancel the account. That was time wasted. The owner spent over an hour on the phone Wednesday trying to cancel the account. That was time wasted. This morning he has now been on the phone for over an hour. He has been given a confirmation number for the service disconnect. Now he is holding for the Billing Dept. to argue the charges AT&T has applied to an account that has never been used due to AT&T inability to deliver. AT&T is COMCAST = UNBELIEVABLE!!

    I've had nothing but trouble with AT&T U-verse Internet from day one. It took an entire 2 weeks to get my service activated. I had to mail 3 boxes of equipment back to them before they finally resolved the issue. I had non-stop calls from them asking about my experience for the first month. I had multiple technicians come out and nothing was resolved for an entire 2 week period. Once it was up and running, the internet service was great, no issues with speed or connectivity. But, now I'm moving and want to move my service to my new address. I submitted a request online to have it activated by a specific date which was 3 weeks from my move out date.

    For whatever reason, it was deactivated at my current address and activated at my new address the very next day. I called and was told it would be activated that night. Obviously, it wasn't. I called the next day and after an hour of answering questions I was transferred to another department where I spent another hour answering the same questions. I now have to wait another 24 hours to see if they can get it reactivated. So that's 3 days without service and supposedly they are going to apply a credit to my bill to compensate for those 3 days without service. We'll see if that ever happens. Like I said, AT&T has been nothing but a headache from day one!

I have so many problem with my U-verse losing connecting and having to call a tech out within one month. I also had to have new phone jacks installed where I moved to. I had only had my equipment installed about five months before I moved. They forced me to pay $218. After that a bill came in two days that I had to pay $62, by then my phone had been suspended for non payment though I had paid and told them what day I would pay. I paid the $218 in two days.

    Now that I have moved I have paid AT&T $630 and they did not take the jacks out of the old rent place that should have been installed to my new residence and save me an installation fee of $99 both times. Getting a rewards card went straight toward the phone bill. The once hung up on me when I complained about the bill and extra charges. A $10 discount for a few months did not help.

I explained that both my husband and I are online graduate students and this internet service is a necessity for us. In less than a month we are experiencing the same issues again and after 3 days of no service, I report the problem and am told we do not need a new modem - it's some other type of issue.

    I again explain the necessity of having internet service for myself and my husband. A couple hours later I'm told we need a new modem... I ask "can we get it locally so that I don't have to delay my class work any longer?", and am told there is an AT&T in my area. I go to the location the next day, wait over 40 minutes to be seen. Finally ask how much longer the wait will be and at that point, am notified that they do not carry modems. I then call the Customer Service number to place the order over the phone and end up with someone who after 3 or 4 attempts, she cannot comprehend what I am asking for.

    I repeatedly ask to be transferred to someone else, finally she transfers me and they tell me that they can assist me with ordering a modem, 10 to 15 minutes into that call, and she keeps saying she cannot locate my account. She finally resolved to saying she only handles U-verse which is not offered in my area. She gives me a third number and I finally get them and am told they don't handle modem orders and am transferred again.

    Finally right at 5 pm I place the order with a representative and am told it will take 3-5 business days to arrive. This means I could miss an entire week of class. I ask if it can be expedited and am told that by the time the warehouse gets the order, it will still be 3-5 days. This is ridiculous, I ask if I will be billed for the down time and am told to call back once I get the modem to discuss that. This is not the first incident with my service, it has just infuriated me to the point of posting this review in hopes of someone reading it and taking some corrective action. What happened to supply and demand and good customer service??? Call me, I would love to share all of my experiences and help provide feedback about less than satisfactory services with AT&T.

    I have spent so many hours in the past couple of years on the phone with AT&T troubleshooting all kinds of issues. It takes a very long time to get a live person, you have to go from prompt to prompt and sometimes start all over. The final straw for me was this past weekend. Friday night the road was blocked off and there was an AT&T truck by my residence and they were working on the cables. Saturday morning they were still there. I was gone all day, and when I got home about 3 p.m., I noticed my red broadband light was on. I had no connection. I spent more time on the phone with AT&T. They asked me to do all of the things like unhook box, look at lights, etc. I knew it wasn't on my end because I saw the AT&T truck down the street.

    About 7 p.m., I really needed my Internet because I also work at home sometimes. I drove down the street and asked one of the AT&T techs if their work was causing an internet outage and he said yes. So I figured the internet would just come back up later, after they were finished. At 8 p.m. I had to do an errand, and noticed that the AT&T truck and all of the road closure signs were gone, so I figured they completed their job.

    When I got back home, my red broadband light was still on. I called AT&T again and they had no idea why there was even a truck down the street and kept telling me that their "status" on their computer was not up to date. They basically had no answers for me and said they scheduled a tech to come out to my home on Monday. I told them that the problem wasn't on my end, I knew it was due to the work they were doing down the street. They had a bunch of cables out and were pulling cables here and there, so I knew it wasn't on my end. The router that I have was the 2nd one in a short amount of time, the first 2 stopped working pretty quickly.

    I called AT&T again and asked them if the techs work on Sundays. The gal on the phone said yes, so I figured my Internet would be back up Sunday morning. When I got up Sunday, the red light was still on. I decided I had no choice but to end my service with AT&T. Since I was not able to even complete the work I had to do on the Internet, what good is their service? It was very frustrating, none of the people at AT&T that I spoke to even knew about the repair job going on down the street.

To get a manager I had to give her my phone number because she said it was coming up as something different on her caller ID. She put me on hold and another call came in... It was her "manager". That "manager" also could not provide an ID and sounded just like the one who put me on hold. Games, Games, Games....

    They also DID NOT TELL me about the cancellation fee til' now when I am cancelling $180 that is for two years (I have a one year lease which I will not be renewing and if I knew this I would have not taken the offer because they don't provide service everywhere. Why wouldn't they tell me this... so they can get their stupid little SPIFF! I was told there was no contract for the U-verse and the Satellite if I knew that I would have not taken the deal. ALSO ... they did not tell about the one time installation of 124.00 and I was told the equipment was free and there would be no installation fee. Guess what that was another LIE!

Of course you won't really get this deal. (In case you got the 300 dollar promotion on your bundle, that only includes if you have house phone in your bundle... it's really 100 dollars after 90 days. They literally transfer you all around the world. Yesterday I spoke to someone offshore in the Philippines. Today I am talking to someone In "sunny San Diego!"

Their Bundle package does not exist, they can't even look at DirecTV, Internet and the cell phone at the same time. Not without getting to the "specialist." but you will have to talk to about 6-8 people before they will even tell you that.

    Their reps play games, and pass each other off as "supervisors" when they are really just a "take over" so you hear a 2nd person to try to make you not get pissed. They spin you in circles so frickin' fast, you won't know what the hell is going on. Good luck reading fine print because all of these ** all basically make it so no deal really exists. I gave up Comcast for this with ON DEMAND, 4 days, I spent on the phone with these **. Not ONE person was able to give me the same information about my plan.

    I can't record without paying more than I was with cable. There are no free on demand channels like with cable. Don't get me wrong I hated my cable company too. They were more consistent though and if you dealt with them in store you got exactly what you were told. Reception sucked sometimes but that was why I switched... also because my high cellphone bill. I needed the bundle. Now I am soooo Sorry. I can't wait til my phone contract is over and I can my phone move to SPRINT and never see At&T again! I hate hate hate my service, my plan "bundle", their customer service. Hell all their phone reps for that matter, They all lie.

    Oh yeah to get my Internet to work I have to go to my modem on the other side of the room EVERY MORNING since I got it. I have to unplug it and plug it back in, wait five minutes. Ooo Now I am in India and my cell phones aren't included in the bundle... (not what I was told).

They also spent 4 hours at my house putting in the satellite and internet in (Which again doesn't work). I am getting prepaid phone, I'll let them eat the cost and won't even worry about my "AT&T credit score" because they don't even report to real credit companies. I am going back to COMCAST! It's funny because when I returned my box with Comcast the guy knew we went with AT&T and he said "when you are back in a week I can give you a better deal so don't stress over anything". I thought the Comcast guy was kidding. HE WAS RIGHT!

My download speed and upload speed is always more than sub-par for what I'm supposed to be getting. My download speed is usually between 10-20mbps and upload is below 2mbps (tested through multiple sites to include AT&T's). I pay for 20mbps. Awful service! Can't wait to be done with AT&T!

    I promise us a bundle for internet phone and security. Technician came on Friday to an afternoon, staying 'til nine and night came, I get internet only in the living room 80%, my backroom 30%. Cut my phone line, drill three big holes in my hardwood floor, but my phone still did not work, my TV did not work. Technician says come back next week Thursday. Waited Thursday - no-show. Call AT&T IT and telling me "I don't know what you talking about, you don't have appointment." No phone, no TV program as they promised.

    Call them up, AT&T treat you like you're stupid. Asked to speak to supervisor, treat you the same way. I said "you don't have your bundles all together", "you have to call a different department." I called to cancel, but now they say "you can't cancel." "You should have it on record," she said no. "You should then have phone record," she said no! I went back to Comcast. AT&T won't give me my old number back! Help.

    We wanted to try AT&T for our internet, so we called them and they set up a date to come and connect it a week from my call. They came and couldn't connect it so 2 days later they came back and still couldn't. At the fourth time they came they connected internet (3 weeks without Internet) and we were not happy with the speed. We couldn't access our apps on our TV. We called AT&T to cancel service within 3 days of connection. My husband returned the equipment the next day and we were told there will be no charge.

    Month later we got a bill for collection. My husband call AT&T and was told it was an error and that they would take care of it. 3 months later we received another bill for collection. My husband called corporate and he was told that there was a division called presidents office, which is in charge of taking care of customer service mistakes. In addition to all this mess, we were treated with no respect by customer service. They hung up on us several times. They made fun of us in one occasion by lying to us about our situation (we could hear the laughter on the background). Called corporate but couldn't find the people that did this to us.

But I should have known better than to believe their **. My bill was actually raised to $70 after I canceled and when I called back to ask why my bill had been raised they told me they cannot do any promo deals for $32 dollars if I don't have cable.

    My family has been a long-time customers of AT&T UVERSE cable and internet and for the most part, have been extremely satisfied with our service. So when I decided to move out and get my own apartment, it was an obvious choice for me to want to choose AT&T over TWC. I got online and entered my new address and the only packages that popped up were AT&T internet, but DirecTV cable. "Ok," I thought, "Not my first choice, I'll get pretty slow internet, but I get a lot of channels. This could work out well." I tried chatting in to have them move my installation date (that they assigned) and the rep said she did. I asked for an email confirmation that never came and kept getting calls about the technicians coming on the WRONG date.

    I called customer service and talked to them for an hour to move my installation date as they don't have a calendar for you to choose a convenient day. They just stick you with whatever day has time, no matter if it's convenient or not. I confirmed with the rep that DirecTV was all that was available at my apartment complex and they scheduled my installation for my move in day (STILL got a call from the technician on the wrong day saying he was at my apartment though).

    Move in day arrives and the DirecTV technicians come by. They take one look at the apartment and say "Nope. Can't do it unless we mount on your roof." (which is not allowed per my lease agreement). Disappointed, I call AT&T back and ask to cancel my service since they can't install my service. I get transferred to a manager who shall remain nameless. She was very nice and said she was checking with the AT&T engineers to see if they could extend UVERSE service to me, since that's what I really wanted.

    After 1 1/2 - 2 hours on the phone, she said she had heard back from them and they were going to extend the service- no problem. I was promised triple the speed internet and more channels for $20 more a month now that I want on a UVERSE plan. Since my previous plan only included the bare minimum of internet as the max, I accepted. We set an installation date for a week and a half later (today) and I was very excited. So- today... a UVERSE technician comes by to install my cable & internet. Very nice guy- seemed very knowledgeable. Two hours into the installation, he realized that high-speed AT&T internet doesn't support the cables that were in my apartment, so I would have to call in (AGAIN) and submit a ticket for someone else to come out and install a SLOWER speed of internet on a different day... and go through most of the installation process again.

    Needless to say, at this point I threw up my hands and called in to cancel my service and switched to TWC. They're coming in two days (not 2 weeks, like AT&T) and made it a very easy experience. AT&T not worth the hassle. I checked with the customer service rep and they won't be charging my account since my services weren't installed, but I am extremely unhappy at all of the runaround. Wish I could get back all of the time and frustration I've spent on this during the last month.

    I hung up and called back and I got a gentleman who actually knew what he was doing and ran a test that showed there was a problem with the service, from OUTSIDE! Just like I said, the technician cut off my service. Well, they dispatched a technician who was supposed to come out on 1/24. Well, guess what? I just received a call telling me that they will not be dispatching any technicians until Wednesday. I don't understand that either since the storm had already ended. Are you kidding me?

    So... I have had AT&T Uverse Internet for about a year and a half now and so far it has been an experience that could be compared to the displeasure of having a car battery strapped to my nipples and turned on every time that I go to try and to play any sort of online game. I was told that I would be getting around 40 megabytes download and around 10 upload but I even after getting a fresh modem could only see a maximum of around 25-27 down and around 8 up. Now, you might be thinking well that is not so bad, and no if I could consistently get that type of connection then I would be thrilled, but alas that is not the case.

    Even hours after having the fresh modem installed, which by the way took around a month to do after the request because three "technicians" failed to show up at all, the internet started to drop to obscenely low numbers. I am talking less than 1 megabyte down and around the same upload. Yes, I went from 27 down to less than 1 down in a few hours. After I noticed the drop I decided to restart the modem and all was sort of well. "Well" meaning that I had around 10 down and 3 up, still okay for most gaming and browsing of the interwebs that you would like.

    The biggest problem that I have with Uverse is the extremely inconsistent internet. Sometimes I have decent speed, but mostly I have terrible download and upload speeds. So if you are contemplating getting Uverse by AT&T, please don't, it's **. Like, dinosaur **, get something else and save yourself from the displeasure of dealing with this ** company and its services.

    I purchased an iPhone in December 2015, I had to borrow the money because I had started a new job. I went in with a list of what I wanted and what I could afford. The saleswoman said she could meet it and we hooked it up - I thought. I called AT&T the next day and only 1/2 of what I had requested was done and the bill was $70 higher than I was quoted. Michelle, the rep I spoke with claimed she resolved the issues and we discussed data use and I ended up going with U-verse and set up an install date. I told the young man I wanted to make one payment on both accounts and he assured me that was doable and scheduled the installation. I spent 2 hours on the phone with AT&T today because my internet and wireless bills were not connected and the $96.00 I was quoted for wireless was actually $174.34.

    When I paid $174.34 on the 8th of this month, it was for both the phone and the internet. But today my internet was disconnected. I called U-verse and spoke with Denise ** a very rude and uncaring representative who refused to transfer me to a supervisor and told me the problem was the wireless service had messed up and not them so I needed to call them. Pissed off, I did. Stacy, a sweetheart, defused the situation by listening and asking key questions, refunded the monies I overpaid in credit and transferred me to a manager at U-verse. The man who answered the phone didn't give his name. I explained what had occurred and he said he would put me on hold and check to see if there was something we could do to resolve the issue.

    Instead of coming back on the line he transferred me to a regular customer service representative who couldn't help me. This lady, whose name I didn't capture out of pure frustration, was also playing gatekeeper and forced me to repeat the entire scenario for the 4th time because she refused to just transfer me to a manager despite the fact I told her that I had already been talking to one. I asked her if she couldn't see that on the screen notes and she said that all that was written by a manager was "initialed" and the note said I had asked for them to turn my internet back on until Friday when I got paid. That's a lie. I did not ask that and I told her so. I said "So now you all can write in notes whatever stories you want to tell and make your customers liars."

    She put me on hold for 7 minutes the first time, came back on to murmur that she was waiting for a manager and put me back on hold for 5 minutes. When Ms. ** came online her lack of understandable English was frustrating enough but then add the constant "I understand" she would say after every sentence but you could tell it was all a script and this woman could care less of the headache this was causing. She told me to decide whether or not I wanted to cancel my account but the best they could do was wait for me to pay my bill.

    I decided to close the account and called Patti. She was as useless as the others and her voice had a quiver in it whether it was anger or high blood pressure or what I didn't care. This is horrific. AT&T is acting like they're doing me a favor when I'm paying for a service. Every action I've taken has been based upon information given to me by an AT&T employee on some level yet they have taken no accountability at U-verse and the phone people say they've done the best they can. Ain't that sad?

    I have been a customer with AT&T for 30+ years and I'm disgusted by what has happened. My iPhone wasn't staying charged and I was going to be traveling for almost a week, which obviously made me very nervous. I stopped at the AT&T store, located at 3314 University Ave, Madison, WI on December 10, 2015. The employee who helped me told me I was eligible for an upgrade and that I could get a new phone and only pay the tax. The other option he offered me was to get a new battery at a nearby business called Tech Heroes. I didn't have time to browse for a phone, so I told him I would think about it and decide before I left town.

    I decided I couldn't travel with a phone that wouldn't stay charged, so I went back to the same location on December 12, 2015. That employee who helped me said I couldn't get a new phone without paying the other one off first. Really?! Two days later and I can no longer turn the phone in for an upgrade? The home button was being funky, and even though I could open my phone each time I tried, he was struggling and said it wasn't operable. At one point, he asked me how are you getting it to open?

    With good reason, I was livid that suddenly the phone couldn't be upgraded. After going back and forth, he spoke to his manager who said I could upgrade for free if I signed up for the internet. I agreed since I don't have the internet at home with the reason being that I had been told AT&T didn't service my apartment building just 2 months prior. I asked for basic internet service and he told me $37.00 a month. I told him I could not afford that, so he went down to $27.00 per month. He also said I would receive a $100 card to offset the installation charge.

    I never received a $100 card and my email confirmation showed that I was going to be charged $38.45 per month! Almost $40 a month when I was told it would be $27 per month. After lengthy online chats, I had to make a call to the Retention Dept. During that lengthy call, the woman helping me said I should install it myself and save $50. She told me twice that she canceled the service technician, which was scheduled for January 4th. I asked what was required for the internet service and she said nothing and that it would be easy to follow the steps for the self-installation. She told me I could get basic internet service for a flat $30 per month rate.

    I receive an email confirmation that the modem for self-installation was ordered. I then start receiving phone calls and text messages reminding me about the service technician that was scheduled for January 4th. I make yet another call and online chat only to find out the idiot never canceled the service technician. Not one single person that I chatted with or spoke to could handle a simple cancellation. On January 3rd, I started another online chat to take a snapshot as proof that I was not supposed to be having a service technician. Pauletta assured me no service technician would be coming on the 4th. She double-checked and I was listed as self-installation.

    On January 4th, I get a call from the service technician saying he was about 20 minutes away! Words can't begin to describe how ridiculous and time-consuming this ordeal has been! I had to explain the situation to him and told him he wasn't needed. Does anyone at this stupid company know what they are doing?

    I then find out that I need a phone jack next to where the modem gets plugged in. Funny no one told me that prior to all of this as I don't have a phone jack near where the modem will be! I have one phone jack at the entrance to my apartment, on the complete opposite side of where the modem gets plugged in. It wouldn't even be possible to get a cable that long. I wrote this in a Facebook message and the idiots sent the modem anyway. It's still sitting in the box because I cant use it! I want the service canceled!

Eventually, I was able to get in touch with a higher up on the phone and we finally were able to purchase internet service. We have had the slowest DSL speed available since signing up because they said that is all we can get at our address (my Brother in law was receiving a faster speed, like I said, less than a minute walk from my house to his).

    This has been going on for years (he has since moved from the property, but others living there have received internet service from AT&T). My wife and I are gamers, and Netflix is built into our TV. We have 2 computers, our TV, multiple game systems, and our phones. When we first started with AT&T, everything ran fantastic (for the speed we were receiving, everything seemed to work well within reason). But slowly, over the years, the service is going down hill. Netflix doesn't want to run anymore, we both cannot be on the internet on our pc's at the same time, both of us cannot use our phones on the wireless at the same time, one of us cannot use our pc and the other watch Netflix at the same time, online console gaming is impossible. I understand that with the speed we are getting, things shouldn't work perfectly, but at one point in time, everything we have that used internet worked.

    I happened to be trying to play an online game 2 days ago. The internet was acting up (remember, there has been a decline in what we are receiving over the past couple of years). I went into my resource viewer built into my PC, and watched my sent/received internet info. It was going all the way down to 0kbs, and staying at 0kbs for long periods of time. Well, this obviously isn't very good at all. When we call customer service to complain about the speed, they tell us to run a speed test at their website, which usually returns speeds that they deem "acceptable", but their internet just doesn't perform the way it should or the way it has in the past. When we ask about upgrading to a faster speed, they tell us that nothing faster is available, but then tell us that they are expanding their internet and we should have the option for faster internet in the "near" future.

    For multiple years, this has been the information that is relayed to us. They have not expanded their internet and we are still completely dissatisfied with their service. If we could swap to a different company, we would, but AT&T is all there is for our address. We have tried multiple fixes outside of contacting AT&T to include: Making sure our phones are turned off when we are trying to use the internet, unplugging the Ethernet cord from everything that uses the internet except the machine we are using, swapped modems/routers multiple times, reset the modem multiple times a day. And yet, the service they provide is getting worse and worse. It seems that since they are the only provider that comes to my address (other than satellite, and satellite will not give us what we want/need), they don't care because they don't have to worry about us leaving them for another company.

    I wish I had found this website BEFORE I tried to switch from Comcast to AT&T! We had Comcast XFinity service and had the normal frustrations of having to reset modem always (at the worst possible moment) and occasionally slow service. We have DirecTV and when AT&T purchased DirecTV, they offered bundled service that would result in savings to us. I called, told them what internet service I had and why I was interested in switching. They said the AT&T service was fiber optic and would be as fast or even faster and less expensive. We switched. Huge Mistake!!! Too Bad there is not a minus 5 rating!

    Service was not fiber optic and it was slower... WAY SLOWER. Using AT&T speedtest, I found that new AT&T UVerse service was 3.5mbs and old (still connected) Comcast was 85.0mbs...20x faster. So I switched back to Comcast. I have spent literally hours on the phone back and forth between AT&T and Comcast. When AT&T came to change over, they modified all the jacks in the house. Now none of them work when switched back to Comcast and AT&T will NOT restore jacks to original condition and I will have to pay Comcast to repair the situation!

    My husband and I changed over from Comcast to U-verse around 4 months ago. And yesterday while we were watching TV it was cancelled and a message came up on the screen saying we needed to pay our bill. We are always on time with our bills so you can imagine how disconcerting this was to us. We immediately called customer service and were on the phone with them for 2 hours. They said they needed to escalate it to tier 2 because they could not fix the issue and that a representative would call us 30 min. later. Nobody called, an hour later we called back (keep in mind we still didn't have internet or TV) and their answer to our issue was that this was not related to customer service and that they were sending a technician the day after.

    The next day (today) the technician came and has been on the phone with at least 3-4 different departments and nobody has a solution. But they do have a lot of different opinions as why this could have happened: 1. We requested a suspension because we were going on vacation (we never did that). 2. Because we illegally download movies from the internet and received a notification on the mail from the government. (We have never received a notification in the mail because we actually pay for our movies!) I personally have never been in a situation where I pay my bills and get my service cancelled and on top of that am accused of doing illegal things! The service is poor to say the least!

    On or about January 2, 2016, I ordered new high speed internet service from AT&T. The representative gave me wrong information about the deal and steps I should take. It took several phone calls to straighten out my package and the steps required by me. New service was scheduled to be installed on January 4th, but changed later by the company to January 6th when I was required to be at home from 8am to 8pm. I live in a rural area where there are no street lights and no nearby AT&T offices. When it began to grow dark, I called to ask if I should expect technicians to arrive after 5:00 pm and was told that they had until 8pm to arrive, very unhelpful. At 7:30 pm, I called again and was told that workload was the reason technicians did not arrive. I was obviously upset at being left waiting all day without a phone call or any communication. The representative apologized and rescheduled my appointment for January 13th, the first available appointment.

    On the 13th, my experience was repeated but this time, I was furious at not being told until 7:30 pm that the appointment had been canceled again due to workload. I am a reasonable person and can understand unexpected problems, but no one communicated with me. I was kept on hold for much too long, my call was dropped at one point and no one called me back despite my giving a phone number before we talked. In my area, AT&T is just about the only game in town and I feel trapped with no choice but to rearrange my schedule week after week until service is installed. One representative has now told me my problem has been escalated by a manager but I still cannot get to those who could really help and might care.

    This company has been a nightmare for me and it is not over. The next appointment is on January 22nd and I am not expecting much. Something is terribly wrong when a new customer is treated this way and I feel helpless and manipulated by this company which protects those in charge from any communication with customers. Worst service ever.

    Can't tell you the level of my frustration with AT&T. Called the day before my plan was going to reset, not taken care of properly, misquoted price and information so I find out in a few more days. Next day, office closed on Sunday. Monday, rude gentleman just wanted to argue rather than read the account notes & just read from his script. Later Monday, spoke with a sympathetic rep in Dallas TX, sounded pretty together until she didn't know the location (physical address) of the building she worked in. Had asked so I could send a written letter of my complaints. Find on my account on the web that I am scheduled for a technician in 2 days! No one tells me anything...

    Tuesday, I'm told I had called to cancel my service, really (again, no one tells me anything). Tuesday afternoon, go into local AT&T store and manager tells me to call and follow prompts to "disconnect." That way I can speak with someone about my plan and get this mess straight. No such luck. Today, go into store again and they call the 800 # because I'm told they don't have a better way to converse with their employer either. So tonight, checked my online account again and might by the closest to being correct as it has ever been. What doesn't AT&T get about customer service & training employees properly? If I did my job as poorly as they have collectively done just with me, I would have been fired. (:

    So I called AT&T last Thursday (1/7/2016) regarding getting internet set up in my apartment. The first lady told me about a bundle package in which I would get 75mbps internet and a home phone for $52 a month plus a $100 Visa gift card which I could apply to their $99 installation fee. I was shopping around for the best rate and I told her I would continue shopping around and would call back if they had the lowest rate. I did my homework and saw even on their website, after putting in my zip code that 75mbps were offered in my area. The other competitors could only get as high as 60mbps.

    After talking to my fiancee we decided to give AT&T our business since I occasionally work from home and really need the fastest, most reliable internet. I called back a second time and this time I got a gentleman. I told him about what I was quoted and that I had decided to give AT&T my business. He was very nice and kept trying to get me to include cable, but I told him that I wasn't interested. I told him that even though I didn't need the home phone service that I would take it to get the rate that I was quoted. He said that he found the bundle package that she had referred to and would be happy to get me set up. He figured out I was military due to some of the phrases that I used and quickly told me how he had served. He told me that since I was a fellow veteran that he would do everything possible to get me the best deal possible and would even speak to his supervisor to make sure that happened.

    After putting me on hold, he came back on the line from "talking to his supervisor," and told me that he got me qualified for no money down, and got the rate lowered to $47 flat a month (taxes included). He confirmed that I would be getting their fastest internet, the home phone service, and the $100 Visa gift card. I signed up right then and there. He told me that the next available installation appointment he had wouldn't be until the following Tuesday between 12pm and 2pm CST.

    I wasn't thrilled about having to wait that long, but still accepted after the incredible deal I was offered. I set up my password and challenge question with him and received my order number. AT&T sent me my very generic confirmation emails that day. I say generic because they don't have my last name on them, nor do they have the full details of my order. Instead of putting the megabytes per second they instead use the name for the service... Mine was Internet Elite. I thought nothing of this since we didn't talk about the names of the packages on the phone.

    Tuesday (1/12/2016) came and I left work early to get home for my appointment. I had arranged to finish out the rest of my shift working from home once my internet was up and running. I received an automated phone call that morning informing me that my appointment was today and that it was now between 1pm and 3pm. Thanks for the change AT&T. The tech did show up at 1:30pm approximately and began working on my install. The tech was very nice and told me he would have me up and going in no time. After about a half an hour or so of working the tech came in and asked me what type of internet I was getting. I told them that I had signed up for the 75mbps internet and he looked puzzled. He told me that I was down for only 6mbps (yeah... big difference!) and that I "wouldn't be able to do anything on 6mbps." He recommended that I give customer service a call right away because he admitted mix ups can happen.

    I immediately called AT&T and I was put on the phone with a lady that I can only assume was in India because she spoke poor English. I had to give her my order number and verify who I was by answering my security password and question. She admitted that I answered those correctly, but then informed me that my last name didn't match what they had in the system. She told me that since she couldn't "verify me" that she would need to send me a new confirmation email that could take several minutes for me to get. I told her that I didn't have time for this and that it wasn't my fault that the agent typed my name wrong. She asked what the last name on my confirmation emails were and I informed her that AT&T didn't put my last name on the emails. I also informed her that my email address has my last name in it. I told her that their tech was there already and that I need to get this straightened out now.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor. She put me on hold for over 10 minutes only to come back and tell me that she was unable to reach a supervisor and that one would call me when "they had the chance." I asked her approximately how long that would take and she couldn't tell me. I found it hard to believe that as large a company as AT&T that there is only one supervisor she could reach out to. I wasn't getting anywhere with this lady and I could tell she didn't care so I hung up and tried a new number. This time, after following a few prompts in an automated system, I got a gentleman who luckily spoke better English. I told him my problem and that I wanted to speak to a supervisor. He told me that their department was only technology and that even their supervisor would be unable to help me. He transferred me to Amber in sales and said that they would be the ones to fix this.

    After waiting on hold for another 10 minutes or so I got Amber and explained my problem. I once again asked for a supervisor. She obliged by putting me on hold for another 10 minutes. Her supervisor eventually got on the line and started off by telling me that AT&T wasn't even able to get 75mbps in my area (nice false advertising AT&T). I informed her that her tech that was there already informed me that he tested the service line coming into the building and that it did have 75mbps available. I told her this and she immediately transferred me to their "resolution department." I was on hold this time for over 20 minutes. At least 3 times someone picked up only to put me back on hold. I finally got a gentleman in the "Houston Customer Resolution" department.

    I asked immediately to speak with a manager. I told him that I had not gotten anywhere with regular employees and supervisors and so I wanted to speak to someone higher to get this resolved. I told him I was tired of being transferred. The gentleman ignored my request and immediately I could tell that this is the company's "hard ball department." He informed me that he would be completely honest with me. He told me that I would not get 75mbps in my area and that 45mbps would be the best they could do. He told me that it would cost more than my current package though. I was shocked that he talked about raising my monthly cost. I told him that if I was quoted $47 a month for 75mbps then there should be no way I was going to be paying more for less megabytes per second. He told me that I will pay $47 a month for 6mbps.

    I informed him that Charter would give me 60mbps for $52.99 a month. I told him that his proposal was absurd. He then said that he could get me 24mbps for $52 a month. Again, I told him his proposal was absurd. He then told me I could get their best offer of 45mbps for $62 a month and that he would waive the $99 activation fee. He confirmed that I was already having my $99 installation fee split in thirds between my first three bills. I told him that I didn't care about having that waived because I would be paying more in the long run and that the $100 Visa gift card would cover it.

    Then he asked about what Visa gift card I was referring to. I told him that because I was getting the home phone service that the sales rep said I was entitled to a $100 Visa gift card promotion. He simply told me that That is not the case and that I would only get that if I signed up for cable. I told him I was not interested in cable. He said he would "check his bundles again to see if there was a better deal." There wasn't one available. I told him to cancel the whole thing and that I did not appreciate having my time wasted, being lied to, not having AT&T honor their agreement, and having to miss work. DO NOT GET THIS SERVICE! Liars with NO customer service!

What concerns me most is their complete lack of customer service via their telephone line. Not only do they treat you like an idiot and try to teach you how to use their app while you are on the phone with them calling on any issue but their team has no sense of professionalism. They had reverted to using US call centers but this group of people couldn't be more rude and unconcerned with your issues. To top it off my bills are higher than they've ever been.

My recent call on 01/9/2016 I was told that they could waive the cancellation fee but would charge back the billing adjustments due to the amount of them. When I asked why should I have to pay the adjustment amounts when they were charged to me in error and that was the whole reason they were removed.. She simply said she understands and that's their policy.

    When I called today I was told by a man named Joseph in TN rep# ** that the information she gave me was incorrect and he was able to provide the correct information as well as a address for corporate because apparently they have no phone number. So in all those months, they kept removing my promo discounts and charging me more than was I signed up for and then tried to charge me for their mistakes when I wanted to cancel my service and for them to waive the fee since they couldn't fix the problem after months of trying.

    I had AT&T cell service for around 10 years. I decided when Uverse came to my area to put all of my eggs in one basket. I took Internet TV and phone with AT&T. After one year the bill almost doubled so I discontinued the service except for the cell phone. I sent the equipment back to AT&T with the UPS labels they provided. About four months later they turned me over to collections so I called them. After three attempts to straighten this out I finally got someone on the phone that spoke English well and could understand what was going on.

    Well now the fun began. They found where I turned in the equipment and they took me out of collections. But guess what happened next? Two weeks later they sent me a check for $160.00 which was the amount of my last bill that I had paid. I tried to give it back they wouldn't take it. Then two more weeks later they sent me a check for $ 480.00 the amount they had me in collections for. I tried to give it back they didn't owe me that money. After three attempts and talking to people in every country but the U.S.A. they told me to cash the checks so I did.

    Well two months later I went to add my wife to my AT&T cell plan and I was blocked and red flagged because they said I didn't return my Uverse equipment. Here we go again, they wouldn't remove it so I swapped to Verizon. Oh and now I'm in collections again for the cell phone and when I call they say I have a $0.00 balance. Go figure. I guess if I wait just a little longer I'll get another check. All this to say if you want your stuff screwed up, I mean FUBAR, just go get you some AT&T.

Then I try to call again at 7 and it's closed again so talk with billing online and this conversation is AMAZING TO ME. I was talking with someone for over an hour then 1 person after another was transferring me as to not deal with the issues.

    Amazing because no one will deal with the truth that they are taking money, signing people up and not honoring their pricing. Then when the bill is not correct they will shut your service off saying it is your fault. I have my billing order and the receipt and this convo. They turned off our service at a 30 days of service for non payment and there weren't to be any upfront fees, but said it was 1 month upfront. Then slapped us with a reconnect and late fee then taxes on that which was another $68.00 on top of the $40.00 they added to our bill then added HD, and equipment fees which was to be in the plan already. These people are amazing as nothing gets solved. I don't think anyone speaks English as a main language and don't know what to do. Attached it the billing and convo I had today and yes I started to curse at them because I am so over them and pissed.

    As I gather others have, I have spent countless hours trying to get a traditional landline installed, and my experience matches those of others I know who very clearly ordered a landline (not a U-verse home phone). When I moved, I ordered the move of service a few weeks in advance of my move. I made it VERY clear that I only wanted the same service (i.e. traditional landline), even though the representative tried repeatedly to switch me to U-verse, which I repeatedly refused. I gave them my move date and requested that service be moved on that date.

    So, you all seem to know how this type of request (i.e., for non-Uverse phone service) goes: First, they cut off my landline at my old address 2 weeks early, and wanted to charge me for re-installation until my move date. (Later, my bill included charging me for service those 2 weeks!) Then, on my move date. I had no phone service. I called and the result was they sent a U-verse installer to my house. I called again, made an appointment, explained the "mix-up" and again they sent a U-verse installer to my house. I called a third time, made an appointment and the installer was a U-verse installer who tried to reach someone to make sure I didn't have to go through the process a fourth time. He couldn't get anywhere.

    So I called again and after speaking to several different reps, as well as after holding a few times and being cut off, I was told that "AT&T" is no longer installing new accounts for landline service." Because my account had been disconnected for several weeks, evidently my account would at that point be considered a "new account' if finally connected!

    AT&T has a right of way under my city, and is the only franchise holder for landline service using the underground telephone cables. Their refusal to install landlines (which is the default result of the way they run their business), the unavailability of customer support (when you call customer service, and press the option for landline service, you are connected to U-verse landline service), and their lack of in-person support for landline service amounts to flagrant disregard for their obligation to support landline service, which is part and parcel of their monopoly on phone line access. So, why aren't cities suing them for breach of the trust that cities have placed in them to service the public? Answer: we have become powerless to control the telecommunications industry, thanks to addictive high-profit margin wireless cell phones, internet and television. TIME FOR A CLASS ACTION.

Tech Support and Service: Complained since day 1 regarding the speed of the internet. Well there is nothing they can do cause the lines to my house do not support the speed I had signed up for. Every time you call, all you hear is "a tech support guy will come over". They exchanged the routers too, but the fools cannot understand that the lines have the issue and not the router. Nevertheless, continues with the service for freaking one full year as I was delayed by 1 day into the first month for cancelling my service.

    Cancellation: Not only is the service bad, but when you want to disconnect, they will get even the last drop of blood out. They take 24 hours for cancellation and I have called them up on Saturday. The 24 hours actually start Monday onwards, so now I have to pay for 3 extra days when my equipment is already unplugged. I would say this is the WORST service ever and Please stay away from AT&T UVerse. Even cellphone tethering is better than AT&T DSL Uverse service.

    My service was connected on a Wednesday (all three) and Friday, all three went out. Just stopped working!!! We checked all the wires, cords, etc... and realized the modem was black as ever. Not one light. We moved it to a different electrical spot and unplugged it from the back and nothing. We called it in and after several attempts to troubleshoot with the automated system and a live voice, we were told a technician would have to come out on Saturday between 4 pm and 8 pm. So from 6pm Friday to 8 pm Saturday no service and we were expected to wait for them all... day long instead of making us an 8 am appointment especially, being that they'd just installed our service 2 days prior.

    No they were being greedy - let's establish more customers even though the newly existing customer's service isn't working properly. At 3 pm an outside line guy showed up and verified it wasn't any of my wiring that caused the issue and the tech scheduled for the inside would still need to come. At 6 pm, I was told tech was still coming. At 8:00, I was told that he was running behind and I could reschedule or he could still come. The lady was shocked when I said, "I have sat around all day waiting for you to come and I want him to come." She paused and said, "He would still be coming."

    At 9:00 pm, I called and was told that the manager of the tech said, "He'd worked past his time and no one would be coming." Now, had I not called in to inquire, we would have been still sitting and waiting for a tech to come. Not to mention now we were once again without all three services and NOT one person contact me after the lady lied and said he would still be coming, to tell me anything. Unprofessional and liars. Hideous communication!!! Supposedly, we are a priority tomorrow, between 8 am and 12 noon. How the hell is that a priority?

    First time impressions are long lasting impressions and I am so... displeased with your poor technician service, blatant lack of communication and the excessive lies, etc. Awful service, although not as bad as Comcast, but you definitely are right behind them.

The router modem cuts off my internet at least 2 times a week and then I have to reboot. I have called att several times and they say (when you finally get through) that it must be my fault... lol. Their new router/modem is crap and there is nothing I can do for the moment. BUT when Comcast comes down a little on their price I will jump ship. I am a customer service rep and I have to say AT&T also has the worst customer service I have ever seen... Sorry.

    So our monthly bill comes in and is $9 higher a month. I call them and they say "well it just went up too bad," but will give me an internet upgrade for free, but the tech has to come out and give me a new modem. I say "ok," and it's set up for between 11-1 the next day. At 11:30 I get an automated call saying he'll be there by 3. At 4:30 I call them and say "where is he?" They say they have no idea, and re-schedule for the next day between 1-3. 3 passes and no tech, so I call again and they say "what order"... Now they want to re-schedule yet again, as if I can take off from work everyday so that I can see when the tech doesn't show up yet again. This is not to mention the horror of trying to navigate their website to get info, and repeatedly getting cut off after waiting over 15 minutes to talk to them on the phone.

    I contacted AT&T on January 4, 2016 and requested to lower my Internet speed since the price went up. The representative I spoke to allegedly completed my request and lowered my speed FROM 18 to 6mb and $42.00 + tax a month. Later the same day I discovered that I did not have internet at home. I called AT&T again (please note that every call lasted more than an hour not including the hold times). I was told that they disconnected my service allegedly "per my request". I told them I never requested disconnection but only to lower my speed. The person assisting me obviously made a mistake by checking the wrong button and cancelled my account.

    I called them again on January 5, 2016 and requested reestablishing my account. After being on the phone for almost 2 hours, they said they were working on it and someone would get back to me within 24 hours. No one did, as expected. I called them again on January 6, 2016. They keep transferring me from one person to the other. I have to explain every person I get connected to what is the reason for my call because the previous person doesn't bother to let them know before transferring.

    Every time I describe the issue, they tell me they need to check my credit to be able to resolve the issue. They already checked my credit 3 times and the issue is still unresolved. This is frustrating. I have no internet at home, I can't work from home, my income is being affected, my children cannot do their homework, my husband cannot do his work from home, I cannot pay my bills that are due...

    I am talking to another person while writing this in At&T retention department, named Linda. And once again, she is checking the account notes, asking me to check my credit, trying to resolve the issue. I am tired of At&T. I pay for this service and for 2 days now I still have no service and I don't understand WHY. AT&T is taking advantage of people, wasting people's valuable time, mocking the system. They have no competition and they know I cannot have another provider because they are the only ones serving my area.

    This is unfair practices and ridiculous. These companies are given such advantage, such realm of possibilities to rip people off. I am tired of wasting hours of my day to hold or to explain the problem over and over again to different people. I have no internet and AT&T is not connecting my internet and I already paid for it this month. I want credit for all these days and for all the time I missed work from home and didn't make income. I need reimbursement for my precious time and I NEED MY INTERNET SERVICE BACK.

    I signed up for Uverse internet Oct 28, 2015. We were already with Directv, had been since 2012 with no complaints. No mention of combining billing when we signed up for internet, my bill was going to be $34 a month. Middle of November I got reminder call to pay my bill which I had not seen. I called and was informed I had an eco bill. I was specific I wanted a paper bill when I signed up. The guy informed me I had a user id to sign in, really??? He gives me a temp password, I later tried logging into an old AT&T email and the idiot had locked me out of it. I spent an hour with tech support trying to fix his mistake. Still no mention of combined billing with Directv. Called in a few days later to pay my bill and the automated informed me I had a $344 balance due. When I spoke to them I was informed it was my combined billing, which I never agreed to and knew nothing about. I paid the $143 bill, Directv and Uverse bill on the phone that day.

    Earlier in the month I had agreed to auto pay on one of my numerous calls trying to get a paper bill. I've lost track of all the calls. On December 22 they withdrew $201 from my bank acct. Over a month early and after I was informed I would be credited because they had charged me for receivers and a larger package with Directv. Because it was the holidays I had not check my bank acct until the 28th. I was in the hole and had $240 in overdrafts. They have done nothing and the only way I could get my money back was to file a dispute with my bank. AT&T took no responsibility for any of this mess. I've yet to see one bill. Requested them so many times it's unbelievable. I called them 5 times on the 28th and they kept telling me I had this huge package with all these channels which I do not.

    Dish Network will be here on Jan 8 to install my tv service. The pleasure I will receive from canceling Directv or AT&T on that day excites me. They are the most horrible company I've ever dealt with. Liars and cheats. They took a total of $344 from us for the month of December. If I knew how I'd sue them for stress and aggravation. I'll change my internet as soon as that contract is up on Oct 28, 2016. Stay away from them. They will try to suck the life out of you. That's ok though I've been warning everyone what they did to us. Talked a friend into staying clear of them this evening. How you treat your customers is what keeps companies in business.

    I just moved to a new city where there are ONLY 2 internet suppliers: ** and AT&T. It's Jan 2016 and AT&T can only offer a max speed of 6 MBPS!!

I use streaming Netflix (which is about to offer 4K streaming), heavy games, 4 computers running internet in the house at the same time, and I have been using 60 MBPS for 4 years now (previous city). How in the world AT&T is still playing a role in this market?? It is overwhelmingly nauseating to hear the the seller on phone saying : "SIX MBPS". And it was NOT a phone prank...

    I have been an AT&T Uverse customer for 5 years and contrary to the reviews on here, I have not had any issues. In fact, I just moved my services to my new address and the tech Phillip was awesome! He got the services installed quickly as I moved in boxes. He gave me a wireless receiver for free. There was no charge to move services.

    Over the years I have had the service they treated me very well. When my bill goes up after the year, I speak to retention dept and they bring it back down to what it was for the next year. I haven't had my services go out the entire time I've had the service. My bill is always what it is supposed to be. For all the people who are on here complaining, I would have to tell them to always go through the door-to-door sales rep. They have so much knowledge and if they are directly with AT&T they can help with any issues, it's worth it having that personalized experience. Mine actually went above and beyond to help me forward my emails and showed me how to set up a favorites list to store all my favorite channels (pretty cool). The DVR service and Internet consistency far exceeds anything that is out there currently.

    This is the worst internet service I have ever had. Started off paying $30 a month for internet. I was satisfied even though it would have issues connecting now and then. You get what you pay for. Now my bill is $60 a month and it disconnects constantly! Well, it is actually $57.99. I had a customer service guy correct me when I asked him why I pay 60 bucks for crappy service. He said "you don't. You mean 57.99?" I asked for his manager and he gave me a "free" upgrade and apologized. We have had 3 new routers and I call the tech about once every week or two.

    We are almost on a first name basis now and is saved as a contact on my phone. The download speed we purchased was 13 mbps. We were at a speed of 2! Their customer service, although friendly and not at fault for crappy service, know little to nothing about troubleshooting and solving problems. Even though they say they are cheaper than TW, they are only "cheaper" for the first 6 months and then your "promotional pricing" ends and they are just as expensive. Save yourself the hassle and go with a REAL internet company that actually gives you quality service.

    When U-Verse first installed Jan 2015 they told me my bill would never exceed 40.00 plus taxes. 14.95 for internet and 38.00 for voice (landline). Well after several phone calls and months later my bill was 53.00, which was ok. Service for internet was always unreliable. I finally called in December when they advise me my internet and phone bill would be 93.00. I almost cried, since I live on SS only, and can't afford this 40.00 increase. I talked to A man named Steven on 12/21/15. Also Chris. They told me my bill was what it was and they couldn't help me.

    AT&T agents are very unprofessional to older people. My question is why couldn't I have the discounts they offer new customers. They advertise it, but do not say new customers in a large review where people can read it. I also paid my bill in November and they had no record of it and I had to pay double in December. And they credited my account for the November bill after they went up on me, and said my account is o/due. No it wasn't. When they did it take two months to credit my account.

    Many years ago DSL came to the small town of Holladay advertising great service & speed, streaming videos etc. Even Dish network will not serve this area. With no competitors, everyone signed up. The service has been so overloaded it has been YEARS since it has functioned properly. Over those years customer service has mislead me, blaming dysfunctional modems & other issues. They gladly sold me new ones of course which were not the problem & did not help. The whole community has the same issues, including the Post Office I work at 1 mile from my home & all my friends and family here. At one point I was sent a dysfunctional modem which was returned & I never got my credit.

    For the 3 or 4 years the service has gotten slower to the point it has been functioning now as dial up, but at 10 times the price of dial up. They openly admit they have "No current plans to upgrade" in our area. (We have no options, so they have nothing to gain by customer satisfaction.) This is the most extorting company I have ever encountered. I have read many online reviews & noticed a pattern that any time they have no competition they take advantage of the upper hand to abuse the customers. I really wish the government would step in and investigate this company's tactics.

    It took me close to a minute just to get this webpage to pull up with this ISP.. At work we have required videos to watch for our jobs that we simply cannot download. No hope or help in sight, I am literally considering doing without internet as badly as I need it. When I mentioned that to customer service, the rep told me if I ever quit I would NEVER be allowed to return. Wow. Cocky to the helpless victims of their extortion.

    I have had DIRECTV for many years, and was very happy with their service. A few months ago they switched to AT&T, I was then offered to have the U-verse ISP service as a package with my DIRECTV. From day 1 it has been a nightmare, the equipment they sent did not work, so then they sent out a tech with a $55 charge, the billing which I have had on auto pay for years suddenly stopped, multiple phone calls and it is still messed up. The U-verse system does not stay up, going down at least once a day, calling on the phone is a joke, and the constant recommendation to go online doesn't work when "online" is down. I would never recommend this system, to anyone, use something different if at all possible, AT&T took a good system (DIRECTV) and made it a nightmare, hard to get a person who speaks English on the phone, if and when you do get an actual person.

    I was happy and satisfied with the 24Mbps service I had. Then my contract was up and AT&T told me that if I didn't upgrade to the 300Mbps GigaPower speed the existing service would be much more expensive. They said I had 30 days to test it and make sure I liked it. Well during the 30 day period I was impressed with the increased speed and decided to keep it. Now that speed has decreased to 182Mbps and when I call the Tech Support I'm told that the minimum acceptable is 150Mbps. If that's what is acceptable then why am I paying for 300Mbps?

    Call it Bait and Switch or Misrepresentation - that's what it is. Once they get you to sign the contract you're screwed for the next two years. I've been a loyal AT&T customer for over 25 years and this is how they treat me. I have my cell, Uverse TV and my Internet with them. I'm done with AT&T after this contract. DON'T BUY FROM AT&T.

    My continuing saga with AT&T U-verse... Let's start back in October 2015, when we received a flyer proclaiming the availability of the U-verse GigaPower. We debated about the cost/speed versus Comcast Xfinity's slow speed (I had the upgraded speed service) and monthly service cost of $210+ a month! So, we called the AT&T U-verse sales department and was told that the service wasn't available as of October 2015. November arrived and received another sales flyer proclaiming that the service was available. We applied and received an install date of 5 December 2015, between 3-5 pm. We canceled our Xfinity cable, tv service for that same day and waited. We received a phone call that they had an issue with the switch, ok. And another install date would be given once they repaired the issue. No call was received from this end.

    On 16 December, we called starting at 8am. They looked up our order and came back with service was still not available in our neighborhood and a install date of 1 December 2036 was anticipated as our install date! And so the morning went by, on the phone for 6 (!) hours! Finally I get, after three disconnects, a install date of 18 December, 8-10 am! Installer shows up, places a sign, with my permission, in my front yard! He installs all required cables and related hardware in my home and leaves. Another exterior installer would hook up my service in a little. 4 pm arrives and no one showed up! Finally a guy shows up and leaves, another shows up and leaves. It's 9 at night, cold as hell, and we don't have service.

    19 December, 7:30 am, a guy is working on the exterior, I meet up with him, he completes what he stated he was supposed to do, still no service. 19 December, 11 am, a guy shows up, finds that the exterior work was incomplete. He completes that work, comes inside and finishes the rest of the installation, tests the system and WHAM! The Gigapower works for a split second! Then nothing, that was at 2pm. So he looks at my order and it's gone! He spends the rest of the afternoon on his phone fighting with the other end, trying to figure out what the deal is. He leaves my home after 6pm, nothing is working! My weekend, shot. Wife, upset. We were supposed to be at a Christmas party Saturday, not to mention all the time waiting for nothing! Then a phone call asking how my service was! The guys tried, the service great. My satisfaction, not!

For the last past 7 years, my rate from AT&T went from $14, $19, $21, $28, $31, and now they wanted to charge me $60 while their new customers are being charge at $25 for 24Mbps. This is becoming nonsense. This rudeness black lady from retention dept put me on hold for 5 mins and then hang up during the process of cancellation and my request to talk to their legal dept. She doesn't seem to care about customer loyalty. Guess what, I am tired of your rudeness service and pricing increase--I am switching to Xfinity at $29 for 25Mbps (regular price offered at $39 and still a lot cheaper than AT&T).

    I have been a customer of AT&T for almost 7 years. By far the worst cable company ever. For a few years, they treated me as a valued customer to maintain my business. About 4 years ago, the poor customer service begin. There was plenty of miscommunication between myself and customer service which resulted in my service being interrupted and me having to pay $60 for a restoral fee. Just 3 weeks ago, my services were interrupted when I was on a payment plan. The payment wasn't due until the next week and when I called in to ask them why my services were interrupted, they claim it was a glitch in the system.

    Yesterday, I canceled because I made a payment and they tried to get me to make another payment right after. I told them they could have it and I was done. NOT only to mention when I asked why my bill had gone up again, the customer service representative couldn't explain it. All she kept saying was it looks like state and federal taxes, which frustrated the hell out of me. Last year, I was on a promotion... One year later, my bill doubled. It's ridiculous how they increase your bill monthly. AT&T treats new customers better than loyal ones. Terrible business. I wouldn't go back to them if they were the last resort.

    When I first sign up with AT&T the charges were reasonable, and the monthly billing increased 30% with no change on my end except to send back a DVR that was not being used on a TV in the bedroom. I called and talked with customer service and for 4 months I was lied to every month, about the charges that increased 30% over a 4 month period. I feel like AT&T stole funds from me. This month when I called the manager said he would give me a one time $20.00 credit, but that was the best he could do. What can I do?

    On 12/4/2015 we had internet installed. There was a cable left running from our residence, across yard, and the across the street to our neighbor's yard. There was no communication as what and why this cable was left. Two weeks later 12/12 I called and spoke to several reps before getting someone who claim to help. There was a service order put for a tech to come out on 12/13. This did not happen. Another called was place on 12/13 talked to several people again before reaching an agent that once again assured that a tech would be out on 12/14. Once again no tech came. On the evening of 12/13 my husband was injured by tripping on this wire while pulling our trash cans to the curb. I am totally disgusted and furious about the level of service and lack of professionalism and communication with this company.

    In three days I talked about 10 people and no real resolution to the problem. I asked for a supervisor and legal personnel several times before getting a supervisor in the right dept. When I asked for corporate or legal dept this was the website provided. Something has to be done. A technician did show today that was very nice gentleman. He finally explains the wire would be buried and they are running behind with this process. He also stated that wires are no longer suppose to be running across the street. There seems to be no understanding on the business side. We are consulting legal advice. I am home, out of work with an injured spouse that is currently out of work due to their lack.

    First I got connected with AT&T and told them I only wanted internet, that's it nothing else and I wanted cheap. They told me the cheapest they had was $42 a month with a $100 dollar installation fee. Then I get an email that they signed me up to get a phone with them when I told them specifically I only wanted Internet. I called and complained that I told them I only wanted internet and I never signed up to get a phone service through them. They cancelled the phone service and took a few dollars off a month. They will sign you up for other services without your permission and then charge you for it, and say it comes with it. No it doesn't! You pay for it.

    Then we find out we're paying almost $40 a month now for 3 Gbps. Me and my boyfriend both looked on their official AT&T website for internet deals and even put our ZIP code in to make sure they had the deals at our location and we got the same deals. They had $15 a month just internet for 3 Gbps!!! This is exactly what we have but we're paying for $40!!! Their top deal is for $35 dollars a month, you get 75 Gbps if given the code, which I had. I again called up there and complained that they are ripping us off, that we're paying $40 for something that is $15 advertised on their website. The lady then tried telling me that it's connected with a TV service when it clearly says on the website internet only. Then another lady told me that they don't have 75 Gbps, the highest they have is 18 Gbps for $55 a month.

    FALSE ADVERTISING!! They can't legally advertise something on their website and then not give the deal to me and say they don't have that deal. Then the next lady I talked to tried signing me up for a internet, TV, and phone deal for $202 a month when I told to tell her "NO I just want internet" and criticize me for not watching cable! I finally cancelled my service and they told me I had to pay a $180 fee with them when I have only been with them for 3 DAYS! You are given 30 days to figure out if you want to stay with that company or not, it is in contract! They cannot charge you a cancelling fee for your service if it's within the 30 days. They should not be a business and I'm surprised they are still running as a corporation. If you ever think about going with this company one you definitely shouldn't and you better know every detail of your service and your contract because they will rip you off!

    Terrible - AT&T talked me into ordering UVERSE service. It took 6 visits to get it installed because the installers don't care and are incompetent. When UVERSE was finally installed for TV, Internet and phone, it constantly went down due to poor equipment and setup. The Internet had terrible range, was less than 5 Mbps, and wasn't installed right. We cancelled all UVERSE service - it is joke bad. When you call AT&T for something as simple as getting your voicemail to work, it takes an hour of waiting and several clueless customer service people who say "I'm Sorry" all the time and then don't help you. This is a terrible, desperately mismanaged organization. It should be liquidated under the PUC rules and split up among non-retarded telecommunications operators.

    June 8th, 2014, my wife saw a promo ad on TV offering U-verse Internet 15.00 per month for a year, free installation with no small print with exclusions on it at the time advertising it on their TV advertising! She then ordered it thinking it would be Great to have U-verse wireless internet with our smart TV while be down with our surgeries for the next five months. What a Joke AT&T was! They installed a DSL box on the outside of our home with a tag hanging from our door telling us that our internet was installed and fully working while they were billing us 50.00 per month with installation charge too! It took us four months to finally have a light turned on at AT&T that we didn't have U-verse internet and we needed a phone wire line run into our home DSL internet to work. This was not our fault nor what we were sold, ordered and received!

    Finally, after five months our internet was on for one month, still fighting with their promotion of free installation, price and our monthly rate of 15.00. It's then disconnect in December one month after having it turned on. I fought for another month to have it corrected and turned on again in February 2015 to only have it turned off again in March 2015!! Let's see, two months of service 30.00 total, promotion was for a year? Hmm, I think I paid a total of 60.00 for four months of service doubled what they gave us during the Worse Customer Service Ever!! I tried repeatedly to have it all straighten out only for AT&T to add 50.00 twice=100.00 with our 41.00 bill being wrong for them to only it being charge our Account Off and put it in collections and hurt our credit rating that was a 843 rating!!

This month I got it and it was again a completely different number than the previous months. I spent close to two hours on the phone, the last person I spoke to "John" when I asked to speak to his supervisor told me there wasn't one.

I realized this morning that AT&T has been charging me $15 per month over the past year for "Support +." It's something I never agreed to so I called asking to be reimbursed for the charges. I was on the phone for over 1 hour and was transferred to over 7 representatives.

    I explained to each that I never approved these charges and to please produce a recording or documentation where I agreed to such services. They could never produce evidence that I agreed but still would not credit me any of the charges. My experience with the 7th representative who was a supervisor ended and the woman literally hanging up on me. This was the last straw for me and I will be cancelling my service. The other straw is the fact that their internet speeds are terrible. Our tv and devices are constantly buffering. You're better off going with another provider. Trust me!!

    Three weeks ago I called AT&T Customer Service about upgrading my iPhone. I inquired about the $99 tablet promotion with an iPhone Next program upgrade. The AT&T customer service representative saw I had a U-verse account with the company and excitedly brought up an EVEN better offer. She said if I switched over to DirecTV (recently acquired by AT&T), I would not only save money on my bill, but I would receive a FREE LG 10 tablet and a $100 Visa gift card. She insisted there was no catch and AT&T just wants to do what is best for its customers. We went over pricing and it seemed like a logical transition, so I agreed and paid about $30 to switch over. I did not place my iPhone order with this representative (my initial sole reason for calling), but was satisfied I would be getting a tablet anyways. AT&T was prompt in scheduling DirecTV installation and getting the service connected.

    When following up about the tablet and Visa gift card, however, I was told the promotion does not exist. Hours of phone calls and being transferred from department to department, I was told a case had to be open so the claim could be investigated. In the three weeks that have passed, I have not received any follow up or update to let me know the situation is even being looked into. I called again today, as I'm off from work and knew I would need to dedicate HOURS, and was told the promotion does not exist and there is nothing they can do for me. After explaining that I felt manipulated into signing up for this service under false pretenses (by the way, I have not yet saved any money- only spent), I've been met with robotic and scripted apologies.

    Although I have provided the exact date and time I spoke with this customer service rep, no one seems to have the authority to listen to the RECORDED conversation and hear the claims that were made. I'm beyond frustrated that I have put time, money, and effort into this unnecessary service change, and was ultimately lied to. In the end AT&T offered a $50 account credit (basically covers installation), which isn't remotely equivalent to the promotion I was offered that led me to sign up for the service in the first place, not to mention the hours of effort I've put into resolving this. After 8 years of service with the company, I'm considering switching my wireless and cable provider altogether.

    If I could give zero stars, I would. There are so many problems with this service. I never write reviews like this, but special circumstances apply. For example, our DVR fails constantly. Tonight was just another example. "The Wiz Live" (a one-time only broadcast, not yet available anywhere online if it ever will be) was on. I checked the DVR. I checked the app. I had my partner check the DVR later. Because this happens all the time. It was set. I took a screenshot showing it was set. I set it not to erase until I erase. I cleared extra space on the DVR so there could be no doubt there was room for recordings. And yet... no recording of "The Wiz." We miss programs we're into in the middle of the season constantly.

    Another fun item. We've been told if there's a technical issue, and if Uverse has to send someone, we'll be charged for the service call. Their service fails, we foot the bill to fix it. How's that for excellent customer service? We've told Uverse repeatedly about the failing DVR to the degree that we got a replacement! And yet when I contacted customer service today about this issue, they said they can't help us with any compensation for all of the failed service because there's no record of us reporting the problem. We only replaced an entire box reporting the problem, but I'm just nitpicking.

    The on-demand Uverse browser -- intuitive like Netflix or even HBO Go? Ha. There's one fixed screen within the browser which does not pop out and cannot be readily resized if you have anything else open on the screen. You either have a needlessly small box within the browser or you have full-screen mode and not much in between. Now I really am nitpicking but in the era of watching programs online, they are so far behind they'll never catch up.

    They've absorbed DirecTV which offers this awesome service of being able to watch your DVR contents on your iPhone or iPad or devices. But for current Uverse customers? Sucks to be you. When you ask about it, they say you need to call their DirecTV partner. Apparently about quitting Uverse to switch to DirecTV which is part of the same company anyway, but you do the run-around, customer. The service provider CANNOT be bothered. Not to provide service. Not to make their service work as advertised and paid for.

    And by the way, if you contact the technical service department about these ongoing technical problems (that they'll have no record of you previously reporting no matter how involved), they don't work synergistically with any other department (like billing). In fact, they will tell you point-blank, as they did me, that they don't communicate with billing. Once again, it's up to the customer to communicate with THEIR co-workers in other departments and do all the footwork. Customer service be totally damned.

    Another fun fact, when you actually DO get Uverse to replace the malfunctioning DVR, YOU GET TO SET IT UP YOURSELF! That's right, dear customer, you are the technical service provider and you will install the equipment. Now, it's not rocket science, but if you live in the 21st century with the rest of us, you may have a bluray player, an HD TV with a few options and inputs and outputs, and it's not first-grade math either. You're going to sit on the floor perplexed for a while and do some serious 'algebra' -- maybe some 'calculus' if you like to have a few gadgets.

    Where is the signal coming from? That one time you got a service guy when the Uverse service was first installed? He rushed and frayed the main signal cable. So be very ginger when you are figuring out which cable that is again. Which input and output go to the TV, the Blu-ray, the aux audio, etc ad nauseam. Because if you're not careful, aside from getting all your ins and outs wrong, you're going to trip the already-crappy cord left behind by the one shoddy bit of service Uverse was EVER going to give you.

    And they'll charge you to bring him back. And hold you hostage on the phone or online for a VERY long time before they'll even agree to it and set up one of those absurd "windows" of time where you get gaze at your navel at home for hours on end waiting for the guy to appear. And when he does, he'll be in a rush and do crappy work again. Because he works for a crappy company that is treating him poorly, underpaying him and overburdening him with work. And not for lack of money, dear customer, because YOU just paid him a tidy sum for his appearance. He's just not going to get that money. Dear Verizon Fios, Charter, anyone... We need you in Hollywood, CA 90068. Stat.

    I would not want to be a shareholder of AT&T if their performance in the installation of my service is typical. I have been waiting for over a month to have them install an underground cable for my new system. And this is after the three weeks it took have them install and connect the system to begin with. Repeated calls with promises of follow-up have been the policy of AT&T. It appears that the customer service reps that you talk to are graded on how their response is on the call. (It is all about trying to keep the customer happy.) In other words they will and do say anything to get the caller to agree that they have answered the call to their satisfaction.

    The problem is there is NO follow up by in-field crews. Then when the field crew does finally show up they inform you that they are not authorized to connect the wires or perform the service. You hear "I can do the work but I am not authorized to perform the work". Really??? What gives? Does anyone have the authority to do anything. This is by far the best example of what not to do I have ever seen. I suggest AT&T be used by every business school as a teaching example for business majors. They are certainly demonstrating to me that they are truly mismanaged.

I called back again hoping I could get any kind of answer that matched up with what I had been told before, but no... "customer service" could only tell me what had been applied which is that my bill had indeed been paid. Uverse should NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS THIS WAY! How can they be eliminated from marketplace?

    I really truly wish I had gone onto this site and read all the troubles with this company before I let them talk me into a bundled deal and cancelled my Dish Network and went with this company. Absolutely abusive and I dare say, criminal how I've been treated and have been overcharged since I've signed up with them. First off, I called in July to discuss my cell phone bill (had my cell phone through AT&T for over 15 years) since it was getting increasingly higher. The person on the line told me that if I dropped Dish and went with Uverse and bundled my cell phone with Wi-Fi and television, my bills would drop considerably. Well, the opposite has happened. I received a bill for my phone for the month of November, 2015 for $353.24!!! I noticed a bunch of new charges for things my phone doesn't even have capability of using.

    So, I called the 800 number that is listed at the bottom of the page to connect to a live person to discuss this gross over charge. I sat on hold for one hour, sixteen minutes and 30 seconds when someone actually picked up, they promptly disconnected me! I called back to get a supervisor and after being put on hold AGAIN, they told me since I am bundled, they can't see my cell phone charges so, they can't help me! I'm done with this company and since they've talked me into changing to Uverse, they've lost a cell phone customer of over 15 years!!! Their loss!

    I ordered the service but after a few days I realized I was not happy with the channels I had so I called to add a few more and the price jumped up $50. The install guy had done a really bad job with installation adding additional boxes to "make it work". So I had bad install and bad service. I called AT&T to cancel and they assured me there would be no charges. A few weeks later, I received a bill for the installation so I called them again and they told me they would take the charges off. This went on for 2 months and 5 phone calls until I received a letter from collection. So I now have to pay $99 or it will be on my credit report. AT&T, you will never and I mean NEVER have my business again.

    My problems with AT&T are extensive. Slow internet, and just as, pardon my language ** tv experience. 1. It's not worth the price. 2. The customer service, and their representatives all belong in the nearest unemployment line. They do not do their job at all. Upon calling about why the internet is so slow we were told it's not. We were paying for 15 mb/s while a speed test online showed our computers were only pushing 2.8 mb/s. The second time we called because the box was down they wouldn't even send a technician, they wouldn't try to reboot, the foreign "customer service rep" merely talked us in circles until we hung up. Today, we called to cancel AT&T after the hassle of 120$ a month for things we aren't even receiving. We expressed we no longer wanted to pay 120 a month and wish to cancel.

    We were informed of a 180$ cancellation fee with only 1 month left of our contract, which is absolutely absurd. Into the conversation my roommate said, "Well, I don't really want to pay for your service. 120$ is too much for what we're actually getting." The rep replied, "How many people live in your house?" "Three others." "And you're the only one paying the bill? Are you stupid?!" This is the kind of ** I have to deal with when I'm paying YOU? Great customer service skills, great company, will definitely use them again! Sike! It was awful. Think twice before using AT&T. If Time Warner Cable is in your area, I suggest using them. It was the best Internet & TV package we ever had.

    Service is constantly interrupted. I read online that their cable boxes overheat and are faulty, however even when the box is cool signal can be lost. I have tried them all when it comes to cable TV, AT&T is the only company that requires you to be a technician to troubleshoot and fix. Sure other providers have service interruptions, but none so frequently as AT&T, and other providers interruptions service is restored without the customer having to reboot and disconnect the box and reconnect. Odd that AT&T can send your tv a message that your signal is lost and provide a multi step rebooting process? A reboot process that often times must be completed several times before it works IF it works. Sometimes the reboot is short lived and AT&T sends a message that states your service will be restored in two hours.

    There should be a Lemon Law for cable tv, allowing consumers to break their contracts. People should be able to watch tv without being contortionists to keep their signal active. By the time your tv comes back on you've missed the program anyway.

    So I called AT&T last week to set up a business Wi-Fi account. Just setting it up was really annoying. The automated system that you have to talk to is filled with bugs and glitches and many times it will start with one menu option and then you have to say new customer or new account (without being prompted to) to get to another hidden menu. At that point I should have hung up and not gone any further. However, after an hour, I finally got a representative on the phone and after 40 minutes finally set up an account. He was to come to our business and set up Wi-Fi, so he showed up Saturday but didn't know how to set it up -- I kid you not. So he left and yes we had no Wi-Fi, nothing and yet I am being charged for it this month.

    So right away today I get on the phone to try and cancel my account and I kid you not I was transferred 10 times. I am always super nice to all customer service people and yet I was hung up on by one man after being transferred 10 times and being on hold for an hour or more. Mind you I explained to everyone that I don't even have Wi-Fi but I am being charged and canceling my account should not be this challenging.

    I am still on hold now after being hung up on. I cannot even believe the level of unprofessionalism. I had no idea a company like this could even exist. Anyway, I am now going to tell all my clients about this and everyone I know so no one ever gets sucked into the trap that is AT&T. The sad thing is no one gives a crap at AT&T and yet I paid for something I didn't even receive. They are scamming people and trying to come off as a legitimate "professional service".

    I have been a customer of AT&T for almost 22 years. We have used all their devices including internet. Our bill runs right at 112. Monthly. After many sales calls from them suggesting Uverse we had them install it. This was July 23, 2015. On July 24th our home burned to the ground. We lost EVERYTHING, materially. Thank God our family survived. I contacted AT&T to discontinue service and they told me to send back the Uverse equipment. I explained that there was nothing left but ashes and the man was very nice and told me "do not worry." He assured me that all was taken care of.

    After this a month later, I got a bill for the equipment. To make this shorter, 4 times I have called and every time have been told it was taken care of. Now I have a collection agency calling for the first time in my life. Suddenly when I call AT&T they need that $160.

    About 10 days ago, I called AT&T Uverse regarding my bill and specifically how to lower my payments. The call center representative talked to me about DirecTV and the benefits and told me that it would be a better service for us all around (technically, financially, etc). So, I went ahead, went and decided I would try Directv. The technician came to install... only to tell me that DirecTV wasn't an option for us in our area or our home for that matter. I said fine and that I would keep Uverse since we hadn't any problems with it up to this point. Well, that was the kiss of death (pardon the expression) and two days later my cable was cut off and still not restored up to this date (4 days later).

    I've spent 10+ hours trying to call only to get shuffled from technical support to retention and back and forth. The cable was cut off Wednesday of Thanksgiving and I called the Friday after Thanksgiving only to be told by tech support that the retention department wasn't open and that they would call me Sat to have my cable working once they spoke to them. Well, I started this journey at 10:00 am this morning (Sat) only to be on hold with tech support now (5 hours later). I've had numerous representatives tell me that they are looking into this matter and would call me back (not one of them has either at this point). I'm now back on the phone with technical support only to find out that they are not sure why my cable was ever cut off because the order was cancelled in error and now a new order was put in to restore service as a new customer.

    They now say the earliest they can restore my cable is next Wednesday. So, what I'm trying to understand is how a customer (that is current on payments) is able to lose their service to no fault of their own and only to be told they need to wait a week to get service again? Why is it so impossible to turn someone's cable back on who never wanted it shut off in the first place? Again, let me add that we've had Uverse for 5 years and this has nothing to do with any outstanding financial issues.

    After 25 yrs of customer loyalty; it has become poignantly clear that loyal customers mean nothing to at. You are required to pay for services that don't operate correctly, nor do they meet the operations and service claimed by AT&T Uverse. Then when you enter a discounted contract which is nothing compared to what is offered new customers, they raise the price without notification, so you lose any benefit that would have been gained. If you complain, they send techs that tell you to go somewhere else for service. Perhaps their existing customer base should do just that; in addition to filing formal complaints with the appropriate regulatory boards. Which is why I am beginning here!

    First, I have to give credit to the AT&T rep that we spoke to most recently. She really was helpful and we appreciate all her efforts. Some (but not all) AT&T reps tried likewise to help. Others, not so much. Ok, that said, we never had satisfactory service with our DSL or home phone (many, many internet outages and outrageous phone static). Our problems really began though when AT&T sent a letter stating that all customers in our area needed to contact AT&T about switching to "U-Verse" by a certain date. We did so.

    After hearing AT&T's pitch and doing our own research, we notified AT&T that we would stay with our current service. The very next day, our Internet was shut off. A day later, our home telephone was shut off (sound like retaliation to you? It certainly did to us). Our phone and Internet were off for nearly 2 weeks. Not only that, we were belittled by reps who seemed to toy with us and repeatedly insisted that our cordless phone was the problem.

    Once the guy came out to check on everything though, we learned that AT&T had simply shut off our service. No equipment problems on our end, they simply pushed a button and shut off our service. Oh, but they did manage to send us a bill for service that we never received. We filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, AT&T never answered it. I disputed the charge via my credit card, AT&T fined me for a 'returned payment'. Same treatment as if I had bounced a check!!! They added late fees to my bill but they never once tried to resolve the issue or, more importantly, apologize for the beyond belief poor service.

    Most recently, we did have a rep help get a partial credit so we have to give credit to her. But it was a horrible, horrible experience. And as I've told AT&T before, if we had an alternative (we elect not to have cable), we'd have left AT&T long ago. A very sad statement for a company that's been around so long and claims to be customer oriented.

    Updated on 1277243: I had said that AT&T finally credited us for the 2 week outage. Well, that did not come to pass at all. In fact, AT&T shut off our internet for failing to pay the amount that was supposedly credited (we had paid any remaining balance on the bill)!! It took days and literally hours on the phone and speaking to no less than 16 different representatives to get the internet turned on again (this after I was once again assured that everything was "taken care of" and credited). Honestly, I am in disbelief as to how awful AT&T has become.

She indicated that she would move me to the u200 service adding HBO with a new amount of $153 and would give me a credit for 3 months and that amount is what I can expect to pay from the 4th month going forward. I asked how long is the cooling period where as I can call back and cancel this service since I will be contacting Xfinity and my local cable here to compare. She indicated that I had 30 days in which to cancel without any penalty.

The representative Yolanda then informed me that the previous individual noted the system stating that she informed me of the cancel fee and that HBO was not added or anything of that sort...

    Where do I begin??? This all started in Oct. 2014. I moved to my new residence and had ATT DSL installed. (Uverse is unavailable) ATT is the only provider in my area. (I live in the middle of nowhere). Everything was fine from Oct. 2014 - March 2015. All of a sudden my signal starting cutting in and out and eventually would stop working for hours to days. Yes, DAYS. I contacted ATT customer care. They scheduled a technician to come out. NEVER SHOWED UP. Had to reschedule and still no one ever came. This went on until May. Still no one would come. Every 2 weeks they would call and reschedule. I finally called at the end of May almost June and said "I'm DONE. Please disconnect." Well, they ended up escalating the issue and seeing that I had line issues. So, they GUARANTEED me Someone to come out. Well, I kid you not, No one showed! Come late July, I said that was it!!

    Called to cancel again... Well they said a tech came out and fixed the lines and I needed a tree cut down. But, they had to disconnect my old account and I had to sign up for a new one. This time they gave me a free landline. (I don't have a phone hooked to it, don't need it) they quoted me $44 a month and promised it would work great. It works ok now. By the way, the tree was never taken down by them like they said they would do, and I ended up paying $3500 to have it cut down.

    Now, I have never received a bill under $160. They keep saying it's because of internet usages. I Have never even heard of that and never have been billed for that in the past. My usage has not changed. I do not have streaming services like Netflix. I have a desktop, 2 phones, an iPad, and my DirecTV receiver hooked up. I never have went over in my almost 15 yrs of having DSL. They can't give me an explanation either. I even have a case with the office of the president.

    I have had AT&T U-verse for the past 4 years. Up until a few months ago, I never really had an issue. But in the past 6 months, the customer service has gone completely downhill. They have no regard for their existing customers. They offer everything and the world to new customers coming in, but basically throw their hands in the air and offer nothing to their loyal, existing customers. I was on the phone with them for over an hour last Wednesday, 11/11/15, trying to figure out if they had any discounts or promotions since the one I was currently under was ending in just 2 days. They kept telling me it didn't end until February of next year.

    After going round and round with them and 3 people later, I thought we had finally gotten it figured out. After looking at my bill summary yesterday, 11/16/15, I discovered that my bill had increased 50% more than what I was told with no promotions or discounts applied. It turns out they were looking at the expiration date for the free HBO/Cinemax that I had added to the account since it was offered free for 3 months. But I do not view that as a promotional discount per se. Because there is a charge for $26 and a credit for $26. The promotional discount I was receiving on my U-verse that was expiring was $30 off the cost of my U200 that I had.

    When I called in yesterday, after going through 3 different people again, I was told that because AT&T was losing so much money that they did not have any discounts or promotions they were offering to existing customers. Not only that, but the gentleman I was speaking with was extremely rude. There was no attempt at customer service whatsoever. Long story short, I cancelled my cable and only kept the internet until I got signed up with another company. I will not go back to AT&T for anything.

What do you think happened? The next bill reflected a higher rate than we discussed. Not only that, the speed had gotten so bad, the web pages wouldn't load unless I refreshed them 3-5 times.

    I have friends who have gone though the same crap. These companies are all the same. The manipulation is designed to frustrate you until giving up and pay the bill. After all, who has time to spend hours on the phone with these monkeys? All these companies, whether it's cable, internet, cell phones, constantly screwing with your bill and valuable time?

    My problems with U-Verse started about 18 months ago. Internet would come and go, short periods with no coverage and periods of download speeds of 1Mp to 6p. I pay for 18. Tech came out and fixed that issue with a new router. Starting last July I began having some of those same problems and finally I had all I could stand. Reached tech support and they sent someone to my house. He changed some router settings, stayed around about 30 minutes to see if it was okay and it was. Unfortunately he wasn't gone 15 minutes and it started doing the same thing. I have had two persons send my emails about this problem but I never hear back from them. I would be more concerned about it but I placed my order with Charter and will be gone in two weeks. I would still like to have the internet service that I currently pay for but that will never happen. AT&T is great until something goes wrong.

    When AT&T solicited me to 'update' my internet with them via fiber-optics new to our neighborhood, I bit and signed up, purchasing a compatible modem. This summer, I had connection issues and, after a short 'test', they said they would have to replace my modem. They sent the same type modem and I returned theirs. Later, I find they replaced my purchased modem with a leased modem, increasing my rate $7.00 per month. When I called to complain that I was not informed of that, they credited back $7.00 and, because I'm such a loyal sucker customer they gave me a "free internet speed" upgrade. That, as it turns out, was a promotion that is free for six months, then it's a $5.00 per month increase.

    The replacement modem did not solve the connection issue, it turned out to be an external wiring problem they corrected. Looking for an alternative, but the reviews for the industry as a whole are so bad it's very much like trying to pick a candidate for president... who's the best out of the worst bunch of crooks running.
