About AT&T Internet
AT&T Internet offers multiple plans, including a 1 Gbps plan suited for those who have multiple devices or use HD streaming services. Prices range from $45 to $80 for the first year of service, but prices increase after the 12-month introductory period. The company's gateway acts as a modem and provides Wi-Fi coverage, although those with large homes may need optional Wi-Fi extenders for whole-house coverage.

Our internet became sporadic (at best). Having been a telco engineer and having seen the trucks in our neighborhood and the state of the outside plant, I had some idea of the issue. Repeated calls to tech, to manager--no answer. Repeated visits with promise of a new box… no shows. Can poor customer service suck years from your life?!? Do yourself a favor: if you're thinking about U-verse, simply stab yourself in the eyes with forks instead.

I started using AT&T on a $19.95/month promotion. FOUR years ago. Everything was great until one month when I paid my bill late. They added extra fees for being late, as well as reconnection. Fair enough. Except that every month after that, I had extra fees tacked on...every. single. month. Regardless of when I paid. What started out as $19.95/month eventually went to $115 every month. Just for internet. Completely ridiculous! They also had trouble finding me in their database for years because they misspelled my name. I would correct them every month and they would always say the issue was corrected, yet I'd run into the same problem every month afterward.

I have been a loyal customer for 7 years. Lately, the internet cost has gone up while the quality has gone down. In order to talk to a live person, you must go through at least 2 voice prompted systems then it directs you to a different phone number only to get one more "virtual" assistant! I cancelled, Comcast here I am, finally!

AT&T "activated" my internet and it didn't work. I found a better deal with another company and was told by AT&T employees that under their 30-day guarantee, I wouldn't be charged for anything, including the activation charge. So I canceled the AT&T internet having not used one second of it because it never worked. Then I received a bill for $50 for the activation fee plus some internet charges! They refuse to waive the activation charge because now they say that isn't covered under the guarantee. They want to charge me $50 for a service that never worked and was never used. They are liars with terrible service!!

My Internet service has been spotty. I called AT&T to fix it. They sent out a tech who simply gave me a new modem without checking the lines, explaining the modems are usually the problem. I installed the new modem myself. It didn't solve the problem. A month later, another tech guy came out, inspected my phone jack, and declared that when Uverse was initially installed the job hadn't been done right. He installed a new phone jack. This seemed to fix the problem.
One month later, I saw an extra $10 fee added to my bill. When I called AT&T for an explanation, they said it was the fee for the lease on the new modem. Apparently when they replace your modem, they now charge a $10 monthly fee to lease the new modem. I didn't need a new modem! I asked for them to take it back and I'd install my old one. They said no. It was now officially a new service and I would now permanently have to pay $10/month to lease a new one. There is no other service in San Francisco or I would cancel them today. I am furious. They are scamming everyone. Keep your modems!!!

This Uverse system never works right. Every 3 months the receiver box burns out and they have to replace it. The service never works right. They supposedly fix the box and then 3 months later it does not work. Then you have to wait 3 days for them to come out and you have no tv and no entertainment for 3 days and then they say they will credit you and you never get any credits for the 3 days the service is down. Wow, what a joke and on top of that you call customer service and they are in the Philippines and you cannot understand them over the phone.
On top of that, my bill is like 220.00 a month and I cannot watch the tv for at least 3 days every other month. Now the tv is not working so in 3 days they will send me a new receiver box and I have to install it myself?? Really!! They give me a faulty recycled box every time and now I have to install it myself. This is a joke and a scam. I am going back to Charter where at least the thing works all the time. AT&T Uverse. WOW, what a joke.

I am so angry at the way I have been treated by AT&T U-verse CSR and their team supervisor (so I was told). I called in the first of July to get my bill lowered and after a long phone conversation I was promised 30 a month and an upgrade on my U-verse in my home. Well the bill in July comes and it was not at what I was promised. So on July 14, 2015 I call and they give me all kinds of excuses as to why it wasn't at what they had promised. So I asked if I could just pay the full amount in full so my next bill would not have this kind of problem. So I pay over 100$ to get it on track.
Now August bill is here and it's 60 dollars once again, not the 30 a month that was promised. So again, I call and speak even to the team supervisor although she had the same voice of the CSR that I had previously spoken to. They both said very rudely that I NOW have disconnect charges on my bill and that I set up a payment plan which is so untrue. Why was I not made aware of this disconnect when I paid in full on the 14 of July? I never lost my internet connection! I don't know what they are trying to pull! They said it was disconnected on the same day I called in for an hour only! Come on! It's like they are trying to make stuff up to keep my bill high!
They are not following thru with their 30$ a month deal with me if I have to continuously call in and argue with them about my false charges that they like to just suddenly slap on you to keep you bill at a high level. I have been with AT&T for 2 decades and I have several accounts and my family members as well, but if this is how they treat their loyal customers then I will take mine and my family members' business elsewhere.

I switched from DSL to Uverse on June 4th. The speed offered by Uverse was half what I had on DSL. I was told I would not notice because Uverse ran cleaner. My speed is so slow, forget watching on-demand on TV. It keeps stopping to buffer. I sit and watch my connection go up and down on my iPad. Heaven help should you have to call for help. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. I on average and swapped around 5-6 times each time I call...if I am lucky and they don't hang up on me. Run as fast as you can away from them. Never had an issue in 20 years...Now, it's nothing but problems. A product was push on me before it was totally functional.

I got AT&T Uverse on the 28th of July and it is now the 8th. I have not been able to use it. I got this due to working from home. I have had to use my phone as a hot spot because the internet don't work. I have a computer, a tablet and 2 cell phones. I could not believe none work. I have had 5 people in my house. Had 3 people tell me they were going to return my call and get to the bottom of this. Now I'm here trying to get how it has been 10 days and still no WiFi. I get a signal every once and a while but don't last long. Makes no sense to me. The one woman when had the nerve to argue with me out was a treadmill look. I went to all my neighbors and even asked them. No one has a treadmill. So what's the next excuse? I was told I have to pay my bill. I didn't not want to pay but I'm not paying for something I haven't been able to use. That's crazy. They have cost me money BC I can't work without it. They are the worst I have dealt with by far.

Just read a complaint about service tech coming to house to resolve issues in Texas. Too much of a coincidence when we have had several techs come to our house to resolve issues and each tech tells us the one before doesn't know what they are doing. When we get a bill there are always charges and then reversals of charges. We took a free 90 day HBO promotion, canceled it, it showed up on our bill and were told the only way to get a refund is to pay it or be charged $9.00 for not paying it. It feels like a scam that is being done just inside the law. They are always running promotions but once you are a subscriber they won't tell you about new promotions until the day before your subscription expires.
A year ago we had a temporary cable running through our yard and several other neighbors yards as well. When I called about the cable in the yard to AT&T being a safety issue they wanted my customer ID number. I didn't have it available and asked why I would need it for a safety issue in my yard. After several attempts to get connected to a person that I thought could help I was again being asked for my customer ID. When I asked the person I was speaking with, what if I wasn't a subscriber and had a complaint, what would they do? He starting asking for my password information. By this time I was getting a bit frustrated because I shouldn't need a password or an ID number to submit a safety issue. It was like whomever I spoke with didn't understand what I was saying. I understand if I had given the information things might have gone easier, but my point was, what if I had a complaint and wasn't a subscriber.
Finally two people on separate occasions came out and said they would go back and tell someone to get it taken care. I was also given a name of a man that does AT&T underground installs. It was recommended to call him to get the cable buried. Never got a return call after leaving several messages. I finally cut the wire running through my yard in hopes that it would bring a tech to survey a service issue. After a week no one ever showed up. After calling AT&T again about the cable left in the yard and giving my ID information. They said they did have a new service connection several houses away but no service issues. I finally removed the cable from my yard and threw it in the trash. The remainder of the cable still runs through the bushes of my neighbors yards. As much as I hate to go back to Charter I am really tired of the AT&T run around. Changing to satellite won't seem to help much seeing that AT&T bought either Dish or DirecTV.

My install was between 1pm and 3pm. The tech showed up at 2:55 pm and said he was working on my line down the street since 1pm. Hmm... I hadn't heard anything. He said he needed to make sure there was a signal and would be back. I saw him sitting in his van for almost 2.5 hours and asked him what was going on. He said there was a messed up line and someone was coming to fix it but didn't know when. I called cs and they were no help at all. I explained I took the day off and AT&T told me a 4 hr maximum, she said "I've worked here 16 yrs and we have never told anyone that". That didn't go over well when that's what I was told.
Now it is 9:07 pm and I've called AT&T 4 times with them saying there is nothing they can do but reschedule my appointment... I took the day off from the hospital, I can't just say, "schedule error so no one die or get sick because AT&T has a problem with their schedule." Ridiculous and we just decided to switch... Wow I'm not too sure at this point... Horrible c/s so far.

About 3 months ago, I called AT&T because I was having some problems staying online with my Xbox. They said that my router may have been faulty, so they sent me a new one. When it arrived, I found that it had many more problems than the original router (kept locking up and would require hard-resets to work again), so I called them to ask if I could send back the new router and keep my original router. They said it was okay, so I thought everything would be okay. But the next month I found a new $7 equipment fee had been added to my bill. I called them to explain that I was not using their equipment and was still using my own. After an hour on the phone, a supervisor agreed to refund the $7 fee and remove it from all future payments. In addition, he said that my discount (which was about to expire) would be extended an additional year.
A full month passed, and the new bill arrived and guess what? Nothing he said was true. I still had the $7 equipment fee and the discount had not been extended. I used their online chat to tell them I'd leave unless they removed the fee and kept their promise about the discount. They agreed and told me that the changes were made. I talked to another representative to verify that he could see the changes, and all seemed okay. So I let it go and waited for next month's bill. Guess what? The equipment fee was still there and not a single discount had been added. If they would have just told me the truth in the beginning, I would have left and not incurred any extra charges. But they managed to keep me an extra 2 months and got over $120 extra from me. Hope it was worth it.

My bill for TV that I don't watch and that's more than 50% commercials, a home phone I don't use and Max Plus Internet that barely qualifies as High Speed under 2015 FCC rules used to cost $155. All of a sudden my "promotion expired" after two years and the bill went up to $230. Of course the guy I called can't help me downgrade although he can add more stuff I don't need and I need to call another department who will make it difficult to downgrade to something I can afford. I thought Comcast was bad but this!!!!

Okay, what happened was for the past few months - every month I have to call in and complain about the amount of my bill each month. I was quoted one price but the bill always came higher than what I was quoted. Also for the last few months AT&T and myself have been arguing over a cellphone bill that I do not know owe. Keep in mind I have had AT&T for the last 2 years. I have never missed a payment even though some of them I was overcharged on so on August 6, 2015 a week after I paid my bill my television and internet service was shut off. I call AT&T just to be inform unless I pay the cellphone bill that they would not restore my service.
My complaint is how are you going to shut down my service and my bill is paid? The other part of this complaint I want to know what does the cell phone bill have to do with my internet and television service? Seems to me because I change my landline phone from AT&T to Vonage and they know I need their internet service for the phone to work. I feel as though they are trying to strong-arm me into paying bill. I do not know if there is any help out there for my situation. Feel free to contact me. Thank you.

In six month, the phone has failed twice. Right now I'm without a landline. I cannot find a person to talk to. Contacted online help and after 45 minutes the result was that my account login is locked due to too many sign in attempts, at the prompting of the help desk. I am giving up and going with an alternative service.

Customer service is the worst and most unprofessional of any to speak. They overcharged my account. Called to get corrected. They had incorrect information on file. Requested updates with correct contact info and specified paper bill. Waited for paper bill. None. I continued accessing my account in musty.com and continued to show $0 balance. Contacted AT&T. Was transferred to 5 agents and on phone to over 2 hours. Spoke with Greg in NC Retention Dept. Committed a call back from himself/supervisor. Again another DISHONEST commitment.
Called back the next day and was transferred to Mississippi and spoke with Shandra. Same commitment... No call back. I called again a few days later and spoke with Louisiana Call center. The Supervision was UNPROFESSIONAL and at that time we cancelled the service. AT&T assumed NO ACCOUNTABILITY for their errors and problems created in my account. They should be held accountable for the horrific and unacceptable customer service as well as their dishonesty and errors made with my account. I offered to assume half of the responsibility and they would not with theirs.

In less than a year I had 4 technicians come out and replace lines, equipment, remotes, and try to diagnose why I was getting interruptions. Customer service is always busy and super redundant. I would not call if I didn't try twice resetting absolutely everything and checking all the connections. Also, DVR takes over a minute to start recording and does not record the previous channel like it does with TWC. I finally had enough, canceled, had paid through certain date and they told me I will have the service through that date but guess what? Next day no service.

I had a AT&T Uverse package, 10 weeks ago my husband had an accident and has been unable to work. I called to try and make payment arrangements on my bill, and they told me they couldn't do that and they disconnected all of my services. I've been a long-time customer of AT&T, I also have five cell phones with AT&T mobility. I've always been an on-time customer in paying my bill. This has been an awful experience. I've talked with over 7 customer service reps with no help at all and were very unsympathetic to our situation.

Service is great but customer service UVERSE is the worst. I have had them for 2 years now and hooking it up the first time was such a hassle with them wanting to bill me for stuff that they said they wouldn't. Then transferring the service the next year I called so many times because they kept missing the appointment and then tried to charge me for it. I tried to get assistance for all the hassle I was going through and one lady really helped me out. I think she did because I broke down and cried with how frustrated I was with calling and having to deal with them when all I wanted was service.
I then try to transfer my service the 3rd year and I don't get service at the new location so I ask that they cancel it on a certain day and GUESS WHAT? I get a phone call almost two weeks later saying that my service was still active and was calling about my request to transfer the service 3 weeks ago when I called. WTF. These people are horrible. I have AT&T for my cell phone but for Uverse, WORST EVER!!!!

I started having intermittent connectivity recently and a week ago effectively lost all connectivity. I have made multiple phone calls, had two AT&T technicians visit the house, etc. The first technician didn't show up in the scheduled time frame. They all want us to go through the exact same steps we went through on a previous call or a previous technician visit. The technicians both determined the issue is outside the house and an AT&T issue. Twice they've told me the issue was fixed. Once AT&T engineering apparently decided I had good signal and closed the service ticket without talking to me or confirming the issue was resolved (it wasn't). The customer service rep I talked to today suggested I stop calling AT&T and wait for them to call me. It had been two days since I had last called them, how long was I supposed to wait for them?
Several times they claimed some other department was responsible for continuing investigating the service issue and they had no interaction with that other group. They were all very nice, but I don't think my issue was very important to them and some of them clearly did not believe there was an issue that was theirs to resolve. I think I may have finally gotten their attention today but it took a week and that is nothing but poor customer service. I would have been fired from my job for treating a customer this way. ATT DSL is fine when it works but unfortunately I have to recommend using some other service if you have the choice.
Updated on 08/19/2015: I had been waiting for a solution for about a week. We are now in the fourth week without resolution. I have intermittent internet connectivity that, frankly, usually is completely down. When I do connect, it is frequently with a 1500 ms ping rate and about 75% lost packets. It's has been mostly unusable. AT&T has sent out six technicians without resolution. The technicians refer my problem to Engineering and then Engineering closes the ticket. This has happened at least three times. I was escalated to their Customer Advocacy group. They give you a special phone number to call to leave voice mail but about half the time, they don't call you back. They assured me that they would keep in contact and ensure I had good service before closing a ticket but again, they closed my ticket and never called to check that.
Again I would encourage you to find a different vendor, my service was corrected. They have admitted the problem is not at my house but every time I call and find out they've closed my service ticket. They start all over again by sending a technician to my house. When I've protested that we've already had technicians at the house, the response has been, "That's what my next step is", in other words, no common sense is applied. They are going by a book and are not allowed to think. There appears to be no communication between their technicians, their engineering group and their customer service except by service tickets which seems to be their answer for everything but doesn't seem to actually accomplish anything meaningful. Again, I would have to encourage you to find a different provider than AT&T.

All of my issues started back in April 2015 when I called in to do what I thought was a simple transfer of service. The nightmare started there and is still ongoing today. I haven't had a correct bill from AT&T since March 2015. I have been charged when I was told I wasn't. I have had 5 AT&T reps come out to my home and have told me different things regarding my issues and each one stated the other was incorrect. I finally was able to have a tech come out who knew what he was doing, provided a new box that he said I should have had in the first place. Stated that we wouldn't be charged due to the numerous issues and visits I have had and what do I see on my bill...the charges.
When I call to speak to someone regarding the charges I am told that the back office is declining my request to remove them. I am at the point where I need to involve my local news media. Comcast will not be the only cable provider getting a bad rap. I started recording all of my conversations when I call AT&T and it is ridiculous how each person says the person before them were incorrect in telling me this or that.

My one year contract with AT&T Uverse expired so I called to see if they could offer me another plan to keep my bill around the same price I had been paying. The customer service woman I spoke with was extremely rude and told me there was nothing they could do. She would not let me speak and talked over me the entire conversation. She never put forth any effort to find any discounts for me. This was the worse experience I have had since I have been an AT&T Uverse customer. I eventually got my issue resolved but had to call and speak with someone else. Very rude customer service people.

I paid for high speed internet but had to hardwire connect to my laptop to use the internet (their wifi doesn't work). Connection was great after that. Customer service representatives were kind but entirely useless. They have 0 power to deal with your internet. The only department that deals with this is a department that cannot be reached by anything other than emails from their customer reps.
False promises: My internet was cancelled for by AT&T in error and they apologized and promised to get my internet up and running within 48 hours. A week and 100s of phone calls later, the customer representatives have all pleaded my case to the internet department who has still not resolved my issue. I have talked to multiple managers and representatives and technicians who are all fighting for my cause but have 0 power to do anything about it. Thus my conclusion, AT&T Uverse does business about equal to or worse than Third World countries. (Funny thing is, I would be willing to stick with my internet because it worked but I was literally forced to change providers.)

I contacted AT&T to inform them that I had a cost of $6.00 for a movie that was viewed on 7/24 (Clouds of Sils Maris (HD)). I spoke with an agent at approx. 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4, 2015, stating that I was being charged for this viewing and would like to have the cost removed. I really could not understand her name, but Shana or something like that. I explained the situation and she stated that there are 5 steps to viewing a movie. I informed her that I do not even know the first step and never have viewed a pay per view movie. She kept on stating that AT&T is not responsible from what happens in the home. I once again stated that myself, wife or daughter do not view movies. She once again stated that there are 5 steps.
I became a little irritated that she was not listening to my problem. She then started to tell me that she was a customer as well and that her children watch movies and she has a parental viewing on her TV. This has no interest to me since my daughter is 28 years old. At this point I stated that I wanted to talk to someone else. She informed me that she would get her supervisor. I waited approx. 5+ minutes. A supervisor got back to me. She asked me what the problem was, and I explained the problem and that the agent started to tell me about everything about how not to take care of the problem.
During the conversation, the supervisor stated to me that the agent informed her that she overheard me asking my daughter if she viewed the movie and she stated that my daughter stated that she did. This is a outright lie. I informed the supervisor that this wasn't the case and the agent needs to be trained about proper customer service and not to say something that did not occur. The supervisor stated that she would take care of this and for me to remove the charge of $6.00. She also stated that she would listen to the tape of the conversation. The end result is the terrible customer service from the agent. This needed to be reported. Thank you.

When first I got AT&T I was dissatisfied because their customer service was worse than awful, but I got over it because I don't have too many problems. Then about 6 months after we got TV with them, they decided to increase our bill. On the phone we were told that we were originally given a promotional rate and that this was normal but no such conversation was had at the inception of our contract. Our bill has jumped from 92 to 164 dollars. When we called the company, the man on the phone proceed to try and sell us more channels. I'm not sure why this company is being run so poorly but I strongly recommend watching paint dry before dealing with these people!

Recently, my account was canceled by AT&T accidentally and they own up to it. I did not cancel my service with them and found this out upon me paying for my account. They then realized the mistake and tried to reconnect my service. During the process, I was on hold for 15 mins and already agitated. From there, tech support transferred me to the sales department and the sales person was professional throughout the whole ordeal. She discovered that the promotion that I was given last year, was actually costing me more money. Then when it came down to reconnecting my service, I had to pay a total of $449 fee upfront due their mistake! This puts a damper on my day and this doesn't value the customer. Now I'm mailing back their equipment and never again will do business with AT&T. You lost a good customer.

I called AT&T for a hard-wire landline. They tried their best to talk me into U-verse. I told them I needed a phone that could continue to work for up to 10 days during a power outage. They told me they would hook up a landline. The date and time was set. I drove 2 hours to be at the house for the technician. The technician never called or came by. I finally called AT&T and they told me the order was still good and the technician could still show up until 8 pm. So I waited and still he never showed and never called.
I called the next business day to see if I could set up another install date as we need this landline. They informed me that they are confused because something to do with the address. I informed her my daughter lives less than 50 ft. away and she has an AT&T landline. I gave them her address and phone number and name. My husband is disabled, we bought a house in a mountain community that loses power for days at a time and in order for us to move to our new house, we need a phone for my husband's safety. The least AT&T can do is send a technician to confirm the inability to provide us with a hard-wire landline. They need to relax on trying to sell me U-verse and cell service and send a technician. I am very upset with the service. AT&T has given too much effort to sell me on cell service and/or U-verse.

So I pay about $80 for high speed internet and phone. FYI I had to get the phone line or alas it'll be more expensive which makes no sense. Any who I can't watch anything. I can't even surf the net, check on my facebook, email or anything because it takes forever and every time I call AT&T and waste an hour of my time all they do is unplug plug, do this, poke this, press this, check this and wait for it it'll get better.

AT&T is good internet to have. It works. It's high speed BUT the billing for it is ever changing and customer service is no help. It's only supposed to be $50 a month, it charged me $157 for first month. They gave me all this "it's the one time fee plus tax," then the next month they took $80 out and now this upcoming month it was going to be $150 again. Not only that but I never got the rewards card I was promised upon sign up which was the only reason I signed up for it in the first place! Glad the headache is over and done with.

First off this is the WORST cable I have ever had. The on demand blows. Not only can you not fast forward (which defeats the purpose of on demand) but you can't even REWIND!!!!!

I had Internet home phone 4 cell phones with 2 plan pmts. For the phones as well the 4 service lines. The bill had climbed from the 160's to the 180's and then 200. I wanted to keep it under the 200. For service. So I contacted them to see what might be possible. Well, I was told should change my DSL to UVerse and they had specials and reward cards with promotions to help also. This sounded good. I explained again I was trying to keep cost down. They said they would bundle everything and that my cost would be 177.00 plus roughly 30.00 in taxes and fees. So on that commitment I allowed them to come install UVerse. I called again and verified everything cost wise before the install date. Everything seemed fine so I proceeded to set up a time for the tech. At that moment a bill was generated and I was charged (In advance) which they not mention in our review of the charges to expect.
The bill was kept separate and I incurred 200.00 plus another 200.00 for service I had not agreed to pay. This became quite a challenge as I was shifted back and forth between accounts. I received the Reward cards. One for 400.00 and two for 50.00. I was told they were in the process to combine my accounts. During this time the double billing continued. I called and told them this was not correct and not what I agreed to. I was told it would get worked out in a couple of billing cycles. The Reward cards were applied to the cell phone bills. The balance said 0. I'm thinking this is great going to be fixed. Well No. The UVerse bill keeps coming and they tell me still being combined. Combined never happens. Now I have a UVerse bill of 400.00 I never agreed to. I contact them. They reduce the TV to U 200 lowest avail. Bill still being worked on and combined they say.
After ongoing problems with the UVerse TV service, and ongoing calls to nowhere I contacted the BBB. After almost a week I get a call from guy named in Executive office who arrogantly says I can't do anything about UVerse TV. Says he can't (see) the call phone bills so if I would like he will send over to investigate that. Well, the cell phones have a 0 balance at this time. Well, nothing he can do but waive a early disconnection fee for me "IF I NEED IT". (So goodbye customer)! Wow!!! Two decades of service with AT&T gets you this!!! YES!!!
During this time, I tried to access my account online and my information under my cell phone account had disappeared!!! Yes, disappeared!!! Now you could only see that there was a charge past due for $400.00 for UVerse TV. No view of the 503.14 payment and the 25.00 credit. Leaving a balance paid for 55.84, which was also paid. So then they sent a new bill for 730. 01 Due Aug 16th 2015, 405.59 past due. They still tell me to wait, can't discuss since it's in Executive dept. So I disconnected service on July 28 for the UVerse TV. They have never acknowledged. I shouldn't have been charged 167.00 plus fees & taxes for UVerse TV since I never agreed or knew of this kind of charge and it was not what was agreed to. All of this was supposed to keep my bill for all my AT&T services bundled and discounted to 200.00 - 177.00 plus approx 30.00 in taxes and fees was our agreement and only agreement with the customer.
They have now placed everything under UVerse TV, since Executive said he was not able to change it. I guess looking at the cell phone part won't have to happen now that they have made it disappear again into the the UVerse billing. Did not keep agreement with their customer. Playing hide and seek with billing and charges. Nothing is clear and agreed to with customer. Unfair to a great long time customer. Please take your business somewhere where the business listens to you and treats you fairly. No hide and seek billing NIGHTMARES!!! No Lies!!!
Updated on 08/25/2015: UPDATE... After 3 months of suffering to try to get billing issues resolved. I went to the BBB. AT&T said never contacted them or talked to me and so I sent an email to them with my conversation with David in Executive dept. said he didn't have the cell phone information in front of him would I like for him to look at it. I said yes. Said he would be in touch. Basically, not going to fix the DOUBLE BILLING AND OVER BILLING problems. I never agreed to pay these amounts. They were going to bundle everything and had rewards and my bill was to be 200.00 per month. I gave the Better Business Bureau all this information where I was talking to Executive Management the assigned number for my complaint. David said nothing he could do but waive termination fees if I leave.
I submitted this information after I received a call from The Better Business Bureau saying they never talked to me and were not going to re-visit my complaint and they can't force them to so too bad case closed!! After I submitted the truth that I had indeed had a conversation with Executive dept. David. I got a call from Mark ** from "The president’s office" about my rebuttal and he's filling in for Linda ** and she will be in touch with me in 24 to 48 hours during business days. Got a call from Tom ** said he is following up will call me back. So on Sunday before business day Mon. Daughter didn't want her service disconnected. So we went to the AT&T store at North Point Mall and spoke with Alisha the manager. After she looked at all the confusion and after explaining what all had gone on with the bill. That I didn't agree for that amount for U-Verse TV, the charged amount was unauthorized.
I explain the whole nightmare of over billing and finally disconnecting in order to get the billing to stop. About how they ran a separate $167.00 bill on another statement and didn't combine until two months later. It looks then as the previous $500.00 paid just disappears like you still owe 450.00 that you never paid for the basically same two month period all of which you never authorized. To pay this much!! Then they delinked the account information and it took 2 1/2 hours to re-link the cell phones with the U verse to see the information at all. Everything had just disappeared. I wanted it reconnected. I couldn't believe it just disappeared!! The manager said she could only authorize a $200.00 credit and that she would have to get approval for the remaining 200 and we wouldn't be disconnected. She would call us just give her time and we would hear from her.
On Tuesday right before we were going to see if it had been worked out our phones were disconnected. Payment was demanded to continue. Under duress I made the payment. I told them payment is being made under duress!! A partial payment was made under duress. If they treated their customers with respect and fixed the problems rather than force you and hold you hostage placing your life in ruin it would be better for the customers and their health and their lives. The intentional infliction of emotional stress is unbelievable. One woman on the phone in "accounts payable" was unbelievably arrogant and pushy and rude. The whole talking down to you routine. Very degrading and insulting. I feel after 30 years of business since it was Bell South it has really hit rock bottom for the consumer.
They need to treat people better. They will push all of your buttons and use bullying tactics and be very threatening towards you. Like a thug in a back alley. They are determined minded against the customer / consumer when push comes to shove they are leading the pack. Their attitude and position is we have your life hostage now even if we are wrong in the billing or if there is a problem with your billing we don't care to resolve it. Too big to care!!! Please find another company. Don't be the next victim.

I signed up for a new account last week and am reasonably satisfied, so far. However, I just received a call to see how things are going and the person on the other end clearly had only a basic understanding of English. My name is Gale and she called me Galley. When I corrected her, she just repeated it. I understand that many companies outsource, but maybe checking on a brand new customer to check on their satisfaction is not an appropriate use.

I was transferring my services. Being I was moving, I called 5 days in advance. I told them I wanted service on July 24. I was informed that this day was not possible, so we agreed on Monday 27th between 9 & 11AM. After sitting here all morning, and no one shows up, I called. They stated the tech. said he was here and no one was home told him that's not possible, I have been here all morning. Needless to say no service this day, then I decided to make another appointment, this time the hours was 9-10am. Next day, no show again with the same lie, so now I'm frustrated. I told them I no longer want to deal with them. I spoke with a gentleman that seem to be sincere in his apologies, so yet again, I made another appointment for today July 29, between 11am & 1pm.
It is now 3:31, again a no show and again the same lie. I am officially finished with AT&T. They are a huge company that don't care about their customers.

I contacted AT&T Uverse for scheduling of a new install. The customer service rep verbally told me the install would take place Wednesday between 9 and 10 am. I was given a confirmation order number followed up by an email. Wednesday. Rolled around no show. Called the given number in the email with my account number. Spoke to one CSR who told me that my install was scheduled for the following Monday. They said they had no record from the CSR I originally spoke with because he was in India. I asked to have my service installed as verbally promised. I was told there was no way they could do that. I asked to speak with a supervisor.
The "supervisor", who I found out from corporate was not a supervisor at all, told me he couldn't schedule it any sooner than this Friday, 2 days later than originally scheduled. He stated he would pull the recorded conversation from my first call to verify what I had been told and would get back with me. He gave me his ID number and a new order confirmation number. Not satisfied, I called the corporate headquarters, office of the president. I restated to the gatekeeper everything that had transpired. She said "there was nothing in the system showing a Friday appointment", nor was the "supervisor" I spoke to an actual supervisor. She also stated that he had no authority to pull recorded conversations, nor was the info that he gave me was accurate or correct. She stated she would escalate this but service wouldn't be installed until Monday.
I was lied to 3 times. I took the day off work to be present for the install. I will not do business with a company that has zero integrity. I was informed they would "talk" with these employees about their service. Apparently, I am not the only one with issues with this company and talking to the employees solves none of the problems. I will never do business with AT&T and if you value your time and sanity, I would recommend all to steer clear.

I called and set up internet. Initially the customer rep told me internet was about $43 dollars a month and I qualify for a free phone. I said "as long as it's free I'll take it". I get 1&2 bill and notice a charge for the phone and was about $140. I call back. The customer rep says I'm not getting charged. They just have to show it on the bill plus was for installation and modem. Me not paying attention to detail I noticed on my next bill it's $140 with a charge for the phone. I call back. The rep said that I am being charged due to a bundle. I told him that I didn't ask for it. It was offered as a free service, otherwise was going to be more expensive. To sum up what he said, there is nothing he can do.
So I call the next bill cycle due to a charge of $140, something again high when the only I wanted from them was the internet. This time the first guy said, "I will transfer you to someone who can help you". This guy took off 30 dollars and told me that next month my bill was going to be $60, as they told me due that I had paid already installation and modem. Next bill is again $150. So I called to cancelled, and still got another bill of $150, so called back. The guy told me to sent back the modem and the amount was going to be clear. I did. I thought everything was good.
7 months after I check my credit and they sent that bill to collection. I never received anything after I cancelled and that's the only negative thing in my credit score. So I called and asked. They check and they said that the modem was 400 and I still need to paid $150.

Neighbor has 6.0, so I know that's not true. Talked to no less than 10 but likely 15 people and finally asked for another service tech to come investigate. Upgraded finally. Received first bill. Called again (another OUS call center) and now they won't honor the free installation, waived equipment fees for 12 months like letter states. When you have issues, you can't talk to someone whose first language is not English, too much of a translation issue. UGH! Angry? You bet!!

For several years I have used the AT&T DSL service and dealt with countless issues that came with it. This all came to a head last Tuesday when our service was wrongly terminated without any cause ever being given. We called and were informed it had been shut off due to an unpaid bill. However, upon calling the (shoddy) automated helpline we found that our bill was and had been paid. Calling back the helpline, we were given no reason for the disconnection and told it would be at least three days until our service was restored. The employee noted however that if we upgraded to the U-verse service that we could have it the next day. Rather than spend another several hours trying to get them to turn it back on, we chose to go with upgrading to U-verse. As we set up the appointment, the employee apologetically informed us we wouldn't get U-verse the next day, but the day after instead.
Still we went through with it and a technician was supposed to come out that Thursday between three and four. The day came and by 5 PM no one arrived. Calling AT&T, we were told that we had been put on the books for the following Thursday, even though it was very explicitly set up with the previous employee to be that day. They apologized and rescheduled our time for the next day, Friday, between 11 and 3. This time someone actually came. The next nearly 12 hours were spent trying to set up U-verse, going back and forth on if we would actually get the service at all, and dealing with technicians who had little communication with one another and kept essentially stepping on each others toes. One employee even implied our original DSL service was purposely cut off to "force a switch" to U-verse.
Finally at 9 PM that night we had it "working". I use quotation marks because upon doing a speed test, we were only receiving slightly over half of what the package which the tech seemed to not care about at all, instead just commenting on how it was faster than what we had. The tech left since he felt it was good enough and our speed IMMEDIATELY halved again and we were at a third of what we should have been getting. Even so we were just happy to have some service at all. Unfortunately, the very next day (Saturday) our service was once again down. Only now, since we were on the U-verse package, not only did we lose internet, but our TV and phone service as well. We called and spent several hours on the phone with employees only to get another appointment for the next day.
Sunday comes and at 1 PM a tech arrived as scheduled. He spends close to an hour looking at things only to tell us he cannot fix it and that it is the result of another technician fixing someone else's service and cutting ours in the process. He gives us two numbers for himself and his manager and tells us he will try to get a lineman out to fix things as soon as he can possibly that day, and the next day if not. It is still Sunday, 4 PM, and we still have no service. This is the single worst company I have ever dealt with and I find it completely unacceptable that they can wrongly shut off our service and just keep tacking on day after day of repairs while offering no compensation and driving vans around with phrases like "A service you can count on" plastered on the back.
If I had any remotely affordable options this service would be dropped immediately, but due to their borderline monopoly on my family's area, it's simply not an option for us. If you have ANY other possible option you should never use any AT&T service unless you actively want constant outages, days of waiting, wrongful disconnects done to try and coerce you into upgrading, and inept employees at every turn. If I had any sort of legal action I could take, I would be doing so extremely quickly.

I asked for someone to call me back. Rep said they would call me back in 30 minutes. No phone call.
Tried chatting next day. Same information. Asked for a callback. Finally got a callback. Person said U-verse was not available in my area, sent me to retentions. That persons said U-verse WAS available in my area. I said I was fed up, and I gave them until 5pm the next day to give me an installation date, and if I did not hear from them I would cancel my order. No phone call, so I started reading up on U-verse service history, complaints and AT&T ratings. NOT good. It's 6 days later, so I cancelled. AT&T does not know what it is doing.

We spent over 24 hours of wait time for technicians to arrive and install.
After complaining to the retention department they said they would waive the install fee and give me a credit - since I have been charged for very slow internet speed.

They tacked on HBO for an extra $20 per month without consultation. We called to complain and they took it off, but refused to refund us the money because we chose auto pay. Two months later, we had HBO charged on our bill again. Which surprise, they refused a refund. We are finally switching over to Charter, who only charges $82 per month, with a lot better service.

I also paid a 100 dollar deposit! My monthly service charge was $30. They said they would be crediting my deposit towards the first bills. I had turned my service off because I am a college student, and the roommates I ended up having were druggies! So I moved out and called AT&T to turn my service off, I told them I needed to turn it off temporarily because I was going to be staying with my friend for about a month until I got into a different place.
Well when I called to turn my service off, they told me I had to pay an early termination fee, I told them no! That I was turning it off only temporarily until I was stable, in a different place. They still told me I had to pay an early termination fee! I only had their crappy, SLOW service for not even a month!! And I paid a hundred dollar deposit!!! And seeing how I only had service for a month, that leaves $70 credit! Well here we are 4 months later AFTER I CANCELLED SERVICE and they have just gone into my bank account and took the last of my money and refuse to REFUND ME!!! Do not use these thieves!!! THERE'S A REASON THEY ARE ONLY RATED A 1 OUT OF 500 AND SOMETHING REVIEWS!!!

We were the victims of an apartment fire in mid-March that destroyed everything we owned. This included our AT&T cable and internet boxes. So in the week after the fire, I contacted Uverse to let them know about our situation and that we would need to terminate our service immediately. After we told them that we planned to remain customers and get a new account set up as soon as we had a home, we were told that waiving the equipment charges and termination fee would be no problem (since the fire wasn't our fault and the equipment was completely destroyed). Fast forward to early April, when I called again to set up service for our new apartment. I talked to two people, and was told by both that we didn't need to worry about it and the charge was already forgiven, so we decided to stick with them since we liked how they handled the situation. Then on July 1st, I called about a bill we received in the mail for the full amount of the equipment.
The person I spoke to said that not only was there no charge on the old account, he would also freeze it so nothing more could be done with it. He said the bill must have been sent on accident. As an apology for the inconvenience, he gave us three free months of HBO. So two days ago we get a call from collections saying that we need to pay the full amount for the equipment. Obviously we immediately called AT&T, who told us the following: The charge was on the account and had to be paid. It isn't their problem that I was told otherwise four times by their representatives. It isn't their problem that none of their people left notes on my account based on our correspondence, and since I didn't bother to get any proof (even though I was able to give them the names of the representatives I spoke to) I was probably lying about the whole thing.
They did say they would look into it and call us in four hours. That was two days ago and we still haven't gotten a call. So in addition to being upset about being charged out of the blue over $400 for something we were told was forgiven four months ago, we're also pretty annoyed that apparently nobody at the company can agree on their policy and no responsibility is being taken for the fact that we were given incorrect information.

U-verse internet installation was a nightmare. Internet service doesn't work consistently. Got a phone line for faxing and have no phone service, ever. Have had them for months, several techs have come out, internet box was changed out, techs say they don't know anything about and can't work on the computer to ensure access - SERIOUSLY!.

It goes without saying that when trying to get ahold of someone within customer service in the U.S., it is difficult. All I want is someone who speaks my language in clear and concise manner. I am from the U.S. And should be able to get someone from here without having to beg and get cut off several times. As for the service, it is at best inconsistent. I was told that since this is the improved version of DSL, I would receive a service that is always at the top of my "paid" for speed range. No shared lines or service which slows down response time. When it rains a lot, my service will sometimes go to zero. Getting them to fix anything always ends up being a wait and see and then be given a 4 or 8 hour block of time to wait for a tech in which I have to be present. Service tech has been known to not show up as scheduled.
I work with their equipment so their ability to provide me the service I pay for is 100% on them. Living in a small community shouldn't mean that I have to live with subpar service. Too many times I have been told by a tech that until they fix the service coming into town, mine won't get better and they probably won't spend the money because they don't feel the investment is worth the cost. Not a happy customer.

My experience with AT&T has been the worst customer service I have ever received from any company. I was setup to receive Uverse service on Monday, and 3 days later I am still without service. I had to cancel my first order because of a screw up on the sales side not getting my order right. After resubmitting the order and being promised the service would be activated that night, 3 days later still no service.
I have called AT&T multiple times only to find out the technicians' boss had put a hold on my account. I have called the technician to find out what was going on, no answer, emailed his boss, no answer. Because of that hold, no one can do anything with my account. So what am I supposed to do?

At least then I will have something to watch and the best part is, it's free.

My family has had Uverse for six months. In those six months it has been out at least four or five days each month. Every time this happens I wait an extremely long time to speak to a representative only to be told a "line has been cut in our area and they are doing their best to fix it". I am not understanding how lines are continually cut each month and why it takes several days to fix. They offer to give us a ten dollar credit each month this happens but it never adds up to all of the trouble that it causes, especially the heightened data bill on our AT&T cellphone plan because we have to resort to using that only. In a household where two people work from home, this is devastating and we are currently reconsidering other options as we attempt to get out of our contract.

When I ordered AT&T Uverse internet I was told it was fiber optics. I recently moved from DC to Miami and we had Verizon Fios and I was expecting similar service. Was I wrong! The fastest speed AT&T can give me is 10mbps and that is only sometimes, most of the time it is slower. Upload speed is lucky to make it to 2mbps. I find out they are still using copper lines mostly everywhere and are very limited to fiber optics. I don't know why they advertise as hi-speed and fiber optics, it is just the opposite.

We were forced to switch from AT&T DSL to U-Verse on April 28, 2015. The only choice we have is the Elite speed. This speed supposedly is 6Mbs. This service is slower that DSL was. It works ok when you are only on one computer. If you add another computer and or WiFi on a cell phone the service gets worse. I've complained several times and I'm told the speed I get is what I am supposed to get. No one can explain why the speed is worse than DSL though. I've had the service for 3 months and I now get a $15 credit on my bill because I will not pay more for something that is slower than what I had.
I received a phone call on Saturday from a rep with U-verse wanting to know how our service was. I told her it was terrible. She proceeds to set up a service technician appt for today. Well same old story, you are getting the best you will get. I am so tired of hearing that. AT&T U-verse is too slack to care about their customers to install additional equipment in neighborhoods to improve the service. I will continue to call and complain. Maybe if I have techs come out monthly they'll figure out they may need to improve the line in our neighborhood.

I was never told of any contractual obligation. Apparently I was sent an email after the sale. I never saw this, so I have to assume it either went to a spam folder or was never sent. I called to cancel my service because their "special pricing" was 6mbps Internet and basic cable for around $85 a month. Time Warner ended up offering me 30mbps and tv for less than $50 after tax (no contract). Also, with AT&T when you order something it can take DAYS to actually be reflected in your home.
So I called to cancel. That this company so adamantly defends their business practices is beyond comprehension. If you want to work with a company that is completely fine (I filed a BBB complaint, and spoke with their executive something or other, and got nowhere) with disclosing terms of the sale after the sale instead of before, is aware that their email stating the terms may end up in spam folder, and at most is willing to meet you "halfway" by still charging you for something you didn't agree to. Unbelievably their rationale is "well, you got discounted service." So? Every other terrestrial cable company offers promotions without contractually obligation the consumer, why would I sign up for one that did? Especially if it was never disclosed that they would?
To top that all off apparently I should have received a rewards card, which I never did (and they confirmed was never used). So, they're entitled to their money, but you aren't entitled to yours. So, if you want to pay twice as much for service that's twice as bad, and deal with executives whose idea of meeting you half way is still cheating you out of hundreds of dollars, then by all means sign up for AT&T.

The contract was for two. When we got ready to move I called to disconnect service at verifying with AT&T that service was not available in the area I was moving to. The disconnect agent put me on a list if service came to the area I moved into. She said that with the deposit I paid I would get a refund after my last bill and did not need to pay anything. I thanked her and told her that I would swap back to AT&T when they came into the area.
I then get my last bill instead of a refund of deposit. I called AT&T and they said it was a fee not a deposit.

The BIGGEST lie is that we were told that there would be no modem fee, that any equipment fee would be waived.

We have called twice and are now told that this ability to waive fees was stopped in March of 2015, that they can no longer waive this fee. We asked for it to be escalated, and were told that they can go back and listen to the recording (perfect... they can hear it for themselves). Now we are told that this won't happen, that we have to pay that fee every month ($7). BEWARE of what you are told and what they will do, with you getting stuck with the bill. We changed to Uverse to save a promised amount of money, which now is at least $12 (plus taxes, fees) less a month than expected.

However, every day, multiple times a day, we are kicked offline. Sometimes it's for a few seconds; other times it's for hours. This is cutting into my business and bottom line. Anytime I try researching material for clients, the internet craps out. The red light of death I call it.

I spent 3 hours on the phone with these Yahoos! And NOTHING worked. Finally after 8 hours, the damn internet works intermittently. The tech arrives around 3 p.m. and works on the internet problem for 2 hours. He tells me if the problem isn't resolved to call him and he'll come back out the next day. Guess what folks! Yep, internet craps out. I call him.. Guess who doesn't FRIGGING show?! You got it!

I can't write all the things that AT&T has done for the year I had a deal with them. I ordered a landline, broadband, and tv. I got VOIP and wireless internet and I had a PC, I didn't have wireless. So this guy hooks up a router to the computer and I can't get the internet. I was paying for one of the highest services and I couldn't get on. So he tells me that I can't get a landline, that is what their service is and tells me I need a new computer, so I buy one. They do have landlines and they do have broadband. Even with the new computer that has wireless in it I can't get on the internet and they say they can't make it any better. So I had to cancel the internet and because I had to cancel it I lost my two-year deal and had to pay more. Then I find out you can't get broadband if you have VOIP, so I had to cancel the phone.
I did a lot of research and found out the offer the service I wanted. They just lied me because they wanted me to have the Uverse and VOIP. I learned a lot about Uverse and cable and broadband and I figured out the reason I couldn't get the internet was it was the service person's first day and he hooked it up wrong, instead of putting the gateway at the computer and using the ethernet cord to the computer, he hooked the gateway in my bedroom to the tv and made my internet wireless and it wouldn't work that far from the gateway. So I call AT&T back and they agreed they would try again. They hook it up and it works, but I can't have my two year deal and they made it one year and charged me more than the deal I had, even though it was their tech's fault.
When I signed up they said I had to sign up for auto bill pay and paperless billing. So the whole time I was without the internet I am not getting a bill and then they deduct over $200 from my checking account and it bounces. They were not supposed to deduct $200. They correct the problem and I told them they just lost the privilege to deduct from my account. They gave me the bounced fee I got from the bank but the next month they charged me a bounced fee. So I had to get that removed. They told me when I signed up the second time for the internet I would get them instead of the second highest internet I would get the one just before the worst internet speed, but what they gave me was the worst speed internet. I asked how much would it cost to add the tv to another room and I was told $8 a month so I ordered it and they sent me two receivers and charged me $49 dollars for two of them it was a buy on get one free.
So on my first bill they charged me $8 rental for each box. I told them they couldn't charge me for the box and make me pay rental on it too. So they credited me for the rental fees and didn't charge me anymore. I told them I got a flyer that said free installation and they said well we can't see the flyer and charged me for the installation. I told them that I paid for the second to the highest internet while I had it and couldn't get the internet and I should be credited for it, they agreed to credit it, but while these things are going on I can't see what is going on with my bill because I didn't have the internet and had paperless billing. Then they raised the amount of the Tv service and I had to call and have them credit me for that.
They changed the due date on my bill and I got billed 3 times 9 dollars in late fees. When I called they said they would remove the late fees and change the date and they didn't. The third month they changed it to a different date and I got a late fee. The person accused me of making it up and I copy and pasted the chat where I was told it would be refunded and they agreed to refund it. I was told that the new bill was 108, so I paid the bill online and paid it in full, copied the bill and the receipt and the next bill the old bill was changed from the 108 to I think $136 and the new bill said I owed $40 from the last month's bill and I went on chat and told them the bill was paid in full and it was $108. Someone went back and changed last month's bill and I was told no that I owed $40 for the last month that wasn't paid.
I said "I did pay it. I have a receipt that says paid in full, what did I owe $40 for?" She said "the bill." I said "for what service?" And she said "all of it." So I cut and pasted that it did say 108 and I had a receipt for it and they deducted it and told me it was the last time they were going to credit me for it. I told them that when they are crediting me for the bills they were adjusting the fees and so they adjusted the fees. So I told them that the deal is over on the 18th of March and when it is over I want the service stop. Oh yeah they also told me that I got HBO for three months free and when the free trial was over I told them to cut it off and they didn't and billed me for it. I told the person on chat to cut it off and she said she noted it on my account. I asked her "do I need to write someone and request it?" And she said she noted it on the account.
So I ordered Comcast. I sent the equipment back and I get a bill for $300 and something saying that my bill was overdue and was being billed as not having the deal anymore. They said it was being sent to collection. So I got on chat and said that it says I owe money, I cut off the services March 18th and paid the bill in full. "I don't owe you any money," I said. I went on chat and told them to stop the service and the girl said she noted it in the account. The supervisor said "oh you can't tell them on chat to discontinue services." I said "I did it on chat so I could have proof I did it." He said "you can't do it that way, and there isn't anything noted in the account so you owe the money." I said "no I don't." She said she noted it and I copied and pasted the chat where I informed them to cut it off and he said "oh well they didn't so you owe the money."
I said, "No I don't owe the money. It isn't my fault you didn't stop the service. You can't just keep the service going and say I owe for it. I told you to stop it and I have Comcast now." Then I get another bill now saying I owe $500 and something. The service still hasn't been cut. so I send the two chats along with the bill and told them, "I had informed them twice to stop the service and I have mailed back the equipment and I don't owe you anything." So then I get another bill so I called and I hooked a tape recorder up and told the person that I was recording the conversation so I have proof of it. I told her what happened and she said, "yes it shows you did send a letter and copies of the chat and it shows we did receive the equipment back and I will cut off the service for you. You will receive a final bill and you will have to call when you get it and settle the bill with billing."
I said "why can't we settle it right now? I don't owe you anything. I paid in full up to the date. I informed you to stop the service." She said "like I said I am cutting it off today and when you get the final bill you will have to settle it with billing. I am not billing, I cut off the service." She said "it shows in the file you that you said you told us to cut it off, it has the chats in it and shows you returned the equipment so when you get the bill just call billing they will see this and adjust the bill." Then I get a bill in the mail telling me I need to return the equipment or I owe $600, so I go on chat and they said "don't worry about it if you returned it, it just hasn't caught up yet with the system." I told him the lady said it shows I returned the equipment.
I said "I didn't send back two of the receivers because I had to pay for them." He said "if you had to pay for them, then you don't have to send them back. The letter probably was sent before the equipment was received." So I get another bill saying I owe $600 for the two receivers, so I make a copy of it and I wrote them a letter and was going to give them a copy of the bill showing I was billed for the two receivers, but the billing doesn't go back that far online and it shows they credited me for the receivers. They never credited me for them, they gave me a credit but not for the receivers. I didn't ask for a credit and they never said, I was given a credit and they stopped charging me the monthly service fee for them. I wasn't had been able to see the bills online and they started sending me paper bills because I told them I could see what they were doing but the credit wasn't issued for the receivers, the credit was for something else.
I didn't send it back because I paid for them. I have no reason to keep them. I don't get Uverse anymore I have Comcast. I can't use them. I paid for them though and I wasn't sending them back something they charged me for. I have to check and make sure that I was on chat when I told them they couldn't charge me rent and make me pay for the boxes too. I don't know if I had started keeping the diary yet and a copy of all of the chats. The bill hasn't been resolved yet. The lady did tell me it shows I returned the equipment and then I get a bill saying I didn't return them. Every time I got a bill I would have to spend the whole afternoon on chat with them because they were billing me for something. One time they told me they could upgrade my internet and it would change my bill at all the could upgrade it for me.
I told them I was supposed to get that service anyway the deal is still online. If you ordered the phone you could get that internet and loyalties. Told me that my bill was so screwed up that he couldn't tell anything that happened and he always can and told me my service would be that internet and I would only have to pay $108 for the tv, phone and internet and I didn't get the speed. So she said she would upgrade it for me and the next bill I got it said $24.95 and the internet I was only paying $14.95. I called them and told them to change the internet back to what it was. I was told it would be upgraded at no charge to me, change the speed back and change it back to $14.95 and don't change anything regarding my service again.
Leave it alone. Every time you guys do something it costs me something, my bill never says $108 and that was the deal. Leave it alone and stop changing my due date. If you wouldn't change it I wouldn't get the late fees. My sister has Uverse and I asked her about her bill. Mine every month has a problem. She said, "I have no idea. I don't know how much I pay. It's auto bill pay. I don't even know how much they charge me for the service. I couldn't tell you how much I pay or what I am charged."
That is what they do they change the amount and people have auto bill pay and are none the wiser. I get SSI I have to watch every penny and if you take more than you are supposed to out of mine it will bounce. These billing practices have to be illegal. I don't know the order number it has changed a couple of times I will list the account number for you. So it is my account number where it says order number. I have a diary and a copy of my chats.

Well it started almost 3 months ago. We got service hooked up at our home as AT&T was having a deal and since I had them in the past and (loved) the service I did not hesitate to connect with them. About 2 1/2 weeks into it we started having issues with our connection - No Services (tv, phone and Internet). Is been about 2 months and finally the last 5 days we have had service. Now to the fun part. Multiple phone calls, leaving work early, many techs and notes to try to resolve this matter all on my part.
I received my bill today which I was told that it would be taken care of which it clearly was not. Then I'm told no more credits would be applied to my account as they feel they have done their part… "Their part". As a customer I am beyond irritated. I have had to deal with this for months and now have to pay a bill that I feel I should not have to pay. It's sad that this company took 2 months to resolve something that should of been handled in a few days and at the end I'm still stuck. Never again will I depend on this company for my Cable, Phone and Internet. Thanks for nothing but headaches...

On June 30th I called to set up an account for my son who just moved out of our house. I spent 1 hour on phone with a lady from another country who I could barely understand, I had to keep asking her what she was saying, spelled names and addresses several times to her. I finally got out of her that someone would be out to install the next day. My son also got a voice mail stating someone would be out on July 1st. He spent the day off from work waiting for someone to call him to say they would be on their way. I called to get a specific time so he would know. I talked to 2 women to different states to find out that he wasn't even in the system for anything. They couldn't find him at all. Finally they found him after being on the phone for several hours.
The first lady wrote his name down at Tolby which is not his name and that they could not put in internet for my son because someone named Scott had an account open and they had to get permission to close his account before they could install my son's. The lady said she would call me when they got a hold of him and got permission to cancel his account. No one called back. So again later that day I called again and spoke to a gentleman in Georgia who seemed to be able to handle some things, so I thought. He said he wouldn't need permission from Scott to cancel his account. Another hour or so spent on handling this. I had talked to countless people and still got nowhere with this being set up.
Thursday I called again and spent another 1 1/2 hours on the phone with a lady from Texas who told me that the man from Georgia did not take care of the issue with Scott's account being closed. She said she could fix it and that someone would be out Friday July 3, 2015 between 1-4. My husband who had the day off from work drove 1 1/2 hours with me to go to our son's apartment to wait for the installation while he was at work.
At 3:45 I called AT&T again to see if someone was still coming out. I got someone from India who again I could barely understand, she said no one was coming out. I told her I wanted someone out today, she said it was too late and that they would be out on the 4th of July. I got very angry by this time and told her that I wanted someone out there now and that I was tired of all this. I explained to her all that happened and she said she couldn't do anything, I told her that it sounded like AT&T's problem not mine. I wanted it fixed now, today.
Then I ask for someone higher up, she got her supervisor on the phone. I then gave the phone to my husband because I was irate by then. We were told that no one would be out ever that we couldn't get Uverse there, which was a lie. The guy that lived there before my son had it. The guy told my husband that their technicians decided the day before at 3:10 that it couldn't be done and that they sent texts and emails to tell us that. They did not because we checked our accounts, no one contacted us with that info.
I know they were denying us service because I was so angry and blew up at them, but omg seriously, I had by then 7+ hours on the phone with AT&T and my time was worth something. Yesterday July 5th my son had been getting texts and calls that they are coming out today to install Uverse at his apartment... which confuses me because they said they couldn't and wouldn't install it. I have been a valued customer of AT&T cell phones for over 25 years now and after all this I am done. I will NOT be recommending them or will have service again with them.

I have had AT&T Uverse since 2010. Dropped them for a year in 2013 cause I couldn't afford it at the time, and now I have had them for about a year and a half to two years. Up until January 2015, service was stellar, my speeds were faster than what I paid for and otherwise had no complaints. Well my discounts expired and I called to find out what they could give me as a replacement. Couldn't give me anything and told them I was just going to end up going back to TWC even though I really didn't want since I ditched them years ago cause their service sucked. Anyway ended up being transferred from an overseas agent who just wanted to feed me a script and actually talked to a girl in San Antonio... she got me all taken care of on a year contract and the next step up in internet speed (18 mbps to 24 mbps), so thought ok, all is good again.
Well previously when I had 18 mbps I was usually getting 22 mbps no problem, but now ever since they switched me to 24mbps, my speed was really pathetic... I was getting at best about 15 mbps. I called them and they told me they saw a problem with my modem and sent me a new one. Didn't fix anything other than the modem quit rebooting and killing my internet and TV. So call them again and this time they send a technician out. The technician shows up and tell me he knows exactly what's wrong. First, they sent me the wrong modem as a replacement and then he found that the tech rep who gave me back my service back in 2013 installed my connection to the phone jack wrong. Fixed that, gave me a BRAND new modem and speed was much better.
He explained things to me that with Uverse, you can have 24 mbps but that the TV signal (I have two stb's) will degrade that speed. Funny how in roughly 5-10 yrs. of having them that was the first time it was explained. I'm no network expert but I do work for a computer company so I'm kinda familiar with how networks work, etc. How can I have service that was 18 mbps being paid for yet get 22 mbps and once I upgrade the speed goes in a different direction. Tried to tell me that wifi congestion (I live in an apartment) will also affect my speed.
Anyway don't have anything against that tech as he told me a lot more than AT&T had ever told me... anyway, speed is back up closer to where it should be, but the problem I have now is that I have serious load issues I did not have before with Facebook, Twitter and other normal everyday websites. I can easily disconnect my phone from the wifi and get on the cell network and they load absolutely no problem - no latency no nothing, just a perfect load. I have yet to call them back about this, but I am seriously considering next time I call them to just tell them cancel my service, waive my cancellation cause of all the problems I have had and I'll just go back to TWC. At least then maybe I can finally have decent internet since they can't fix the problem, or they just don't want to.

I initially called for assistance with how to set up my tv in a room different from the location of the wireless access gateway, which has to be installed in a room with a telephone jack. I was sent a wireless receiver. The accompanying instructions and online tutorials indicated that I also needed a wireless access point (WAP). I had two lengthy phone calls with customer service, during which I said that I do not have a WAP, but was still dragged through nearly an hour and a half of powering down, powering up, describing lights that were lit on the device, etc. Finally, I was told that I was missing a WAP and a technician would have to be dispatched to install it, at a cost, of course.

It was so bad my xbox wouldn't even CONNECT to my internet. I had called AT&T 8 times and had to wait 30+ minutes just to talk to them each time. They sent me 4 new routers which improved my speed very little and only improved it for about 2 days. They also sent out a "Senior Technician" who greatly increased our speed... for 30 minutes. Every time I want to do anything on my laptop I remember that everything takes so long to load and videos are always buffering. For all those thinking about getting AT&T, DON'T GET IT.

One week ago all parts of my AT&T Uverse bundle failed and I was told no repair could be accomplished that day. The tech arrived the next day, Friday, repaired the issues with a new cable, indicated everything was working. Sunday evening, two days later, a portion of the TV information failed and Monday I called AT&T. They walked me through the restore process which corrected the problem but said a tech would need to come out as their diagnostics indicated some outside the home line issues.
Wednesday evening the tech arrived at 5 pm and was gone before 6 pm. Before leaving he checked everything but after he left, in less than 30 minutes the telephone failed. I called but was told the repairman was on another job site but was eventually told that he was on the way back to my home. He didn't show, no call to my cell as requested. I called again this morning, Thursday, and was told no ticket had been written on the outage and that the earliest I could expect someone was on Friday afternoon. After additional discussion I was informed that someone would be here this afternoon. What are my options, are others experiencing the same issues, and if so what did you do to resolve the problem?

I had terrible service starting on June 17th, '15 with no service with our phone, tv, and internet for 8 days!! I was ready to go into one of the AT&T stores and cancel everything!! A tech was to come out on the 19th from 4:00 to 8:00 and did not show up (had things to do but had to wait on whoever to come). The next night the 20th a tech called saying that he was on his way. He showed up at 8:00 and left around 11:00 p.m. And the internet was not fixed. He should have checked with outage on the outside before wasting my time. We had our family for father's day, which he interrupted.
His name is: **. Reporting him for not checking before he came if it was at the box, staying so late, and leaving us still without service for the 3rd day. Two more men came to fix our serv. on the 24th, and didn't enter the wi-fi passcode, so still no service. I could not pay bills online, check our bank acct, no tv, and no phone. Pay over $3,000.00 yearly, and this is the best AT&T could do?

I have been an AT&T U-verse customer since it became available in my area 5 yrs ago. I have internet, TV, and land line with AT&T, and have had phone service with them for almost 50 yrs. My experience with U-verse has been a classic AT&T nightmare. Virtually every month, my bill was different (always higher). When I called them, I was always told that I had a promotion that had expired. When I asked how many other promotions I had that would be expiring, I was told none... that was the last one.
Next month was same: higher bill and same explanation that a promotion had expired. When I told them I was sick of this and was dropping AT&T, a rep contacted me, apologized profusely, and said she was reducing my bill drastically for 12 months, which she did. No 'happily ever after' story. The bill continues to vary and explanations include that I ordered a new service or movie, neither of which is true. The service is one I would never use and the movie will be one I've never heard of. Everyone I know with U-verse service is having issues of a similar nature. They and I are looking for the best alternative to AT&T. It is the most unscrupulous company with the worst customer service imaginable!

I have had to repeatedly contact Att because of the lousy start and stop service and incorrect billing at my grandparents location. It has literally been a nightmare.

After making every change asked for, on our end (including the ones that made no sense) we are still dealing with the same issues and now we've gotten notice they want to increase the bill by $20 and still my grandparents don't have service half the time.
At&t is the only provider in the area so switching isn't an option. And just turning it off is terrifying since my grandmother has Dementia and is blind. We need the internet to keep in touch with my grandfather when he is home alone with her. They can no longer afford a landline and the internet allows us to find medical info when needed. So - my husband and I canceled our $120 a month Internet and TV service in protest. I noticed other complaints on this site reciting the same issues in the same area as my grandparents. How can so many customers have the exact same issues and we all receive the same answers - "The problem is on our end".

I was assured that the added account would be disregarded and I had no worries and could continue my plan. Matter of fact I received my internet services at discounted rate for 6 months, not including the monthly charges for going over my data which was ridiculously low. A few months later I started getting bills from a collection agency for the bill that was gone, no worries right? Ya now my credit is hit and collections are acting like I'm a criminal because I refuse to pay a bill that was "taken care of, no worries!"

However, the customer service reps in the Philippines act as though they do not understand me, and I am not acting when I state I can't understand them.
Bottom line: AT&T is running a scam, a scam, scam, scam. A BAIT AND SWITCH SCAM. I am so disgusted I left Comcast. Live and learn. NEVER again. And, when you ask to speak with someone, they refer you to their "Loyalty Dept", and you are told, "Oh, I am so sorry, we don't have anything like that." Check out "YOUTUBE", "Unbelievable."

After being on the phone with AT&T technical support for quite a while, they finally told me my only options were to pay $149 to have a technician come out, or to have them send me a new modem (which they said would take two days), and would require me to add $7 per month to my account as a "rental fee" (according to the person on the phone, that was because I already "owned" my old modem/had paid for it with my original contract). After talked to several different people over a few days (and LOTS of hold time!), I finally gave in and agreed to have the new modem sent. It arrived in only one day, which was great. However, it did not restore my internet service.
At this point, I had been on and off the phone with AT&T for days. Numerous calls. Long, long hold time. I had to go through the automated troubleshooting program each time before I could speak to an actual person. I finally convinced the tech support that the modem wasn't working and they agreed to send a technician out the next day. When that person arrived (who was very helpful), he checked and almost immediately verified that the line was indeed cut. He had the AT&T repair service come out to fix it. That part was great... they were there within a few hours. My old modem worked fine. AT&T called me within a couple days and asked if my service was restored. I said, yes it was, but I would like to return the new modem and have the $7 per month (that's $84 per year) removed from my bill.
I was put on hold and transferred to another department, to someone who could barely speak English. That person said she would look into it. Long hold time. Said she was still looking into it. Long hold time. Said she couldn't do anything about the charge. I insisted. Long hold time. She said she still couldn't do anything and that even the Sales department couldn't take the charge off. I repeated that I was only being charged this extra $84 per year because AT&T had not listened to me when I explained initially that Brighthouse had been digging and had somehow knocked my internet out. She said she understood, but that was just how it was. I was stuck with a new modem that I don't own and don't need and will have to pay the extra rental fee.
I asked to speak with her manager. Long hold time. She said her manager was busy and would speak to me shortly. Long hold time. Same message. Long hold time. Same message. She kept repeating that her manager would be available soon. But that person never spoke with me. I finally hung up. This saga has been going on for a week now. I have been on the phone with AT&T more times than I can count and I absolutely sick of the whole process. My service is only 3 mbps. With the extra $7, I am now paying about $54 a month.

In May, my husband bought a Samsung from them in store. The sales representative said we should take their free tablet offer, because it was free. "Don't turn it down because it is free," she said. During the whole contract signing, she never mentioned that it came with a data plan and a two year contract with monthly charges and an insurance. I only found out now, because of a June 21 bill, that I paid $80 on that tablet. What is mind boggling is that the representative lied to us, through her teeth. My husband and I were both there, and we had both had a run-in with U-Verse, so I was listening very carefully. But if someone lies to you outright, it is difficult to figure these things out.
In fact, a few weeks ago we were having our devices switch to wireless because of slow Internet serve (AT&T!) and I called because I was seeing another line. It was the tablet. Customer support told us not to worry about it, that it just showed up as a line but at no charge. Today, when I spoke to the manager at the store, after discovering my bill and speaking to customer support again, the manager claimed that when we signed the contract we signed for everything and people usually read their contracts. He kept rolling his eyes and pretending he didn't understand what I had said. When I asked him to open a complaint, he kept countering with how he trains his employees.
His whole manner was evasive and condescending, which tells me he knew exactly what was going on and he intended it to happen. They told us we could not return the tablet and that breaking the contract (something I never knew I signed up for) would entail a fine as high as the total installment charge for two years. I would still break the contract, if I didn't have to pay this amount up front for a device I never wanted. I feel violated and angry, and I have wasted my whole day.
We had a vicious experience with U-Verse as well. When we were building our house, we were renting, and an AT&T guy came to our house and said there was this deal about free U-Verse TV that would give us faster Internet. He signed us up, and later, when we moved to our house, we continued on the contract, and at some point they started billing us a new fee without warning. They said it was our fault and we should have checked. I would think when installing us at our new house, they would have to declare how much it was costing if it was a new fee. Basically, they made about $2000, again claiming it was our fault.
We are honest, fairly intelligent and educated people. I feel violated and angry, because we never spend money and we are not people to buy a lot of devices and expensive things. I am definitely going to switch from AT&T. They are a deceitful company and they lie outright.

We had U-verse (all 3 services) installed in 2013 after having constant problems with Charter (the only other ISP in our area). It was okay for the most part but kept getting slow connections, random restarts of the modem, and pixelating pictures. In the beginning, it was acceptable because the problems were few and far between. Then, the problems started getting worse and more frequent just before we had our sewer line replaced in the fall.
Fast-forward to a week before Easter and service would go down for hours at a time (not good for a teacher in the middle of finals). I spent a while on the phone that Tuesday with customer service who said they would have someone out by the end of the next week. Thursday, I get a call letting me know that the installation technicians are there to install our U-verse but no one was at home so they had to leave. I explained to them that I had called to have it REPAIRED not installed and was not told anyone would need to be there. I ended up spending 30 minutes on the phone trying to get it resolved. This time, they would send somebody to repair it within 48 hours.
2 hours later, I got a call saying they would have someone there first thing Friday morning but needed an adult there in case they had to go inside. They got there as promised and found that the problem was a "stretched" underground cable which they blamed on the folks who installed our new sewer line (instead of the fact that it was 30+-year-old cable that ran under an old oak tree). They ran a new line and said someone would contact us when they were ready to bury the cable, but that it might be a few days because "for each day of rain we're set back 2 days of work." That makes no sense because mathematically they would be about 10 years behind.
2 months later, I called because the line STILL had not been buried and no one had ever contacted us. They said the trouble ticket had been "accidentally" closed and arranged to have someone show up the next day to take care of everything and would need an adult there. Then, they asked if I had been having any other problems. I told them everything was fine except for the occasional pixelating screens. They gave me a ticket number in case there were any problems.
The next day, 2 techs arrived right on time. Unfortunately, they weren't there to bury the cable but to fix the problems we were having. They did find a bad cable in the house that the original installer put in that was causing the modem to reset occasionally. The part that really upset me was when the tech took my wife's iPad and just started closing web pages without asking if she needed to bookmark any of them, even cancelling a Facetime session with one of her friends, then shutting off the iPad (again, without asking). Then he went for her school laptop but she stopped him before he got a chance to touch it (confidential information that he's not allowed access to and wasn't even on our network).
My wife told him he needed to leave if he was just going to rifle through and shut things down without asking. He apologized saying that they needed everything off the wireless connection to fully test the up/down speeds of the modem (would have been easier to turn off the wireless connection). After that, everything tested perfectly. They finally buried the cable a week after that. The problems seem to have gone away for now. Of course, it's only been a couple of weeks. Good points: punctual techs and great service when it works. Bad points: inconsiderate techs and trying to fix the wrong problems wasting everyone's time.

WOW! AT&T is the worst telecommunications provider I have ever experienced. If I could have, I would have rated them ZERO. Not only is their service unreliable (i.e. internet/TV/phone) as it goes down on a regular basis, but their "service" is horrible too. Yes they sent out a technician a few times, and yes they dug up my yard to put in a new line, leaving me a mess to clean up (and pay for). And yes it didn't make our service more reliable. THEN to top it all off we discovered the technician that installed the new line had cut our underground sprinkler line.
We followed their process (more than once as seems their own employees don't know what the process is), filed the claims to their instruction including pictures, emailed a few times to follow up with no response and today I opened a letter from AT&T denying our claim saying "our records do not show digging by AT&T in the area of the incident on the dates provided" and they gave us our service date to write.
WOW!!! We are definitely going to cancel our service AND the only reason I'm not doing it today is I'm not going to give them the satisfaction of paying a cancellation fee. This leaves me with one word to describe them: BRUTAL. Don't do it. Whatever the deal they offer, it's not worth the risk of awful service all round.

In November 2014, I ordered AT&T U-Verse Internet/Phone services as part of a bundle package with DIRECTV. When I signed up for U-Verse Internet, I was assured by AT&T that I would receive internet capabilities comparable to what I previously had with my local cable provider. However, I immediately noticed a negative performance difference with U-Verse Internet, compared to my previous local cable provider's internet service. Within 5 months, I called AT&T Customer/Technical Support 5 times hoping to get assistance with my internet problems. The response I received with each call was about the same: "You are getting what you pay for." To which my thought was, "Then why am I paying for this service? It is not working as promised, and it is nothing comparable to the internet service I had with my local cable company."
I began searching for a new internet service provider within 5 months of signing up for AT&T U-Verse, as it got to the point where: (1) I was unable to perform work-related tasks using my internet service and (2) I could not enjoy any other benefits of having wireless internet (streaming, downloading, etc.). I received a competitive offer from my local cable company, with an added benefit that included buying out any other contracts I was currently tied to (Up to $500.00 buyout guarantee). The service package offering a contract buyout included cable television service, which meant I would have to cancel two contracts, one with DIRECTV and one with AT&T. I had no problems with DIRECTV. I made the decision to cancel both contracts entirely based upon one reason: My poor experience with AT&T.
The truth is, I probably would have chosen to stick out the full 12-month AT&T contract, if I had received better assistance from AT&T Customer Support. My interactions with AT&T representatives weighed heavily on my decision to cancel. When I continued to receive the answer, "You are getting what you pay for", it gave me the perception that AT&T thought they were doing ME a favor. It felt as though I was being told, "For the price you pay, you should be happy with what you have."
This perception was further fueled by my poor Customer Service interactions regarding the cancelation of U-Verse services. I called to cancel my service May 30th 2015. I asked the representative if she could provide me the total amount of my final bill. She could not provide an exact amount, but I was told the Early Termination Fee (ETF) was waived, so my final bill would be a credit for the amount of days of unused service depending upon my last bill payment. I called back later that day to confirm this information, and to see if I could possibly get an exact dollar amount from a different representative. Once again I did not receive an exact amount, but I was told by a different representative there were notes in my account stating the Early Termination Fee (ETF) was waived, therefore my last bill should be a credit.
Being told this information, I submitted only my final DIRECTV bill (ETF - $340.00) to my local cable provider on June 8th 2015, so I could receive payment for their contract buyout guarantee. On June 16th 2015, I received my final AT&T bill, with an ETF of $90.00. I called the AT&T billing department to see why the ETF charge appeared on my bill. The representative carried on the conversation with an almost sarcastic tone, and at one point stated, "Why would we waive your Early Termination Fee? YOU canceled with US." Once again, the perception seems to be: AT&T has no concern for customer appreciation/satisfaction.
I am also an AT&T wireless customer. A recent experience at a local AT&T wireless store left me with that same perception. In August 2014, I needed to replace an iPhone. The representative I dealt with seemed disconnected, uninterested in answering my questions, and I later found out she gave me inaccurate information regarding details of the AT&T Next plan. I also purchased a new case for the phone, and she did not help me put it on. Instead, she sat next to me and watched as I put the case on myself. I left the store very upset and contemplated filing a complaint then. I have been a customer with AT&T for over 10 years. Within that time I have experienced (1) Low quality product capabilities, (2) Dishonest sales offerings and, most importantly, (3) Poor customer service interactions.
Based on these numerous, negative experiences, I believe poor Customer Service this is a systemic problem within the corporation. Customers are the foundation of a business; without them, there is no business. I understand AT&T is a large corporation, but I do not feel they value their customers at all. Rather, we are simply a dollar sign. In an industry that is quickly providing more options and greater competition, customer satisfaction is crucial to success. As for AT&T, they have lost my vote. I will never again consider AT&T for new services.

I had Comcast and they got high so I changed to AT&T. Then I heard about Sonic and changed and they were great. I moved to an area that did not offer Sonic so I went back to AT&T and they told me U-verse did not allow lifeline. I signed a years contract and on the 13th month my bill went sky high. I called and they offered me another year at a lower price. My modem went out twice and I had to wait for a new one in the mail. I had two boxes and one would always erase paused programs and jump to live TV. The next year my bill shot up again and I called and had it lowered again.
This time, after signing a years agreement, the bill went up $38+ in 4 months. Six months later my bill increased another $37+. I called and asked how could my bill increase when I signed a year's contract at a specific price and added no other charges? The person ignored my question and acted as if it was not relevant. Two days later, I found out that Sonic now offered service in my area. When you live a good, clean life, salvation drops into your lap. AT&T is now banned from my house.
Updated on 06/23/2015: After getting no help I contacted "7 On Your Side" a local TV program and a few days later someone supposedly from the Executive Vice President's office called and a lot of double speak! On my own I did find out that AT&T is tricky with their years agreement without telling the customer. They tell you you have a year's contract. What they do not tell you is it is on a discount not the base price. They can raise the base price anytime and as often as they chose or as many different items as they want (TV, voice, internet, equipment rental, etc.).
For example if the monthly voice charge is $35 and you get a $5 discount, at anytime they can raise the cost to $40 and you still get a $5 discount. When I asked the person from AT&T why don't they tell that to the customer, the answer was the increase was taxes and fees (which in my case was a lie, I have three years of bills). I was told a bill explained their practice but none of the three years bills have that, even in the fine print.

One of my main uses for internet is to watch Netflix, but with this speed problem I cannot watch anything HD in the afternoons/evening and sometimes I cannot watch Netflix at all, it constantly stops and buffers.
I have complained multiple times to the FCC and they pass the complaint to AT&T for their action/response. AT&T's response is DSL is old technology and they are not investing in this infrastructure, and, they do not guarantee speeds. Several years ago there was a class action suit against AT&T for this same behavior which resulted in AT&T refunding DSL users a few dollars but apparently they still aren't concerned about delivering what they contract for. An odd thing is that AT&T appears to continue to sell this service they are not investing in.

Upon installation I had a lot of internet streaming issues. I have all Apple equipment, which worked fine with Comcast - was very fast and reliable. At first I thought it was just the DNS, so I searched for the best DNS servers in my new location. I changed my computer's network settings and my gateway (I add my own Apple TimeCapsule to the ISP's gateway for better WiFi and for built-in backup). Again I had the same problem: kept hanging up (buffering) when streaming videos. This occurred on my iMac, iPad, and Apple TV. I called Tech Support. He came out and did a "speedtest". That was the extent of his trouble shooting. He noticed my Apple router and blamed it on that.
I said it doesn't matter, I have connected directly to AT&T's Motorola router - gateway via ethernet and WiFi and experience the same problem. He didn't agree. He checked all the lines and said there wasn't any problem because SpeedTest checked out and confirmed the line connection. I then read many internet forums that all indicated the same problem with no reliable resolution. The next day (which was now day 5 after installation) I canceled AT&T and ordered Comcast again. I picked up the Comcast self-install kit and connected it. The speed is already faster with no buffering issues. On Uverse, it took me 2 hours to watch a 1 hour program (streaming on AppleTV) because of the frequent and long buffering delays. Many websites on my iMac browser would hang up and require frequent refreshing. Now, it all works smoothly again. Bye Bye AT&T UVerse - worst product I have ever tried.

I visited an AT&T customer location to begin service. Asked if specific channels were included in my package. After confirmation they were, proceeded to sign up for the service. Noted I did not want phone service. They said they had a promotion and could cancel if I wanted. The channels confirmed in fact were not included. When I tried to cancel the phone, they said they would then raise my tv and internet rates more than the cost of the phone line. When I complained about the lack of channels, they first told me they didn't exist, then when I told them what the channel number was, they tried to sell me a more expensive plan. I don't know how this is anything but fraud.

Some gawd dang wussies and lazy technicians at AT&T. Thus far, I have spent over a weeks trying to get a technician, to come to my house to install my AT&T U-verse service (I am in a 1-year service with dreaded termination fees if I leave it early.). You know neighborhoods where the houses are cheaply made out of inferior materials and resides on quarter/half acre lots? Technicians (of today) loves those and accustomed to such luxuries, they are real easy in and out jobs because one do not have to get their hands dirty. I do not live in such of place, I live in a house that has withstand multiple Texan hurricanes, multiple kids fighting with each other and growing up in it.
On 06/03/15 I have made my decision to order AT&T U-verse for my son's PS4 (our current provider which we also do not like do not provide enough "power" for gaming consoles like the PS4.). The technician (We'll call him **) was supposed to come out the 06/05/15 (ATTEMPT 01) 2 days after ordering, he saw that we have dogs on the chain and he calls back to HQ claiming he was in danger of his life (The dogs are on a chain so he is perfectly safe). It was enough for him to get out of doing work at my home and left. I called them on the phone and my son went on his laptop to their customer online chat service, the service rep claims that the he was in danger so, in short that conversation took a half hour, plus the 10 minutes my son spent on the AT&T online chat service to find out we need to reschedule.
06/06/15 (ATTEMPT 02) 3 days after I have made my order, this time the technician (call this guy **) made it to the door (my son met him at his van and walk with him to the door). He claim he needs to go the cable box (goes to the van got on the phone for a few minutes) and abruptly left after that. We got on the phone and online chat service to find out the problem once more to find out there was "emergency" all of the sudden (What happen to doing your job?). We reschedule once more and spent a well combined 2 hours on the phone/online chat being assured that this will be the LAST TIME and everything be installed. How wrong that was, they just blew smoke up our "rear-ends" the entire time. 06/11/15 (3RD ATTEMPT) the guy did not come over or call (the technician claims otherwise and AT&T sides with them).
It's been 8 days which is over a week with no installment yet also, 3 "attempts". Back in my day installers/technicians were not afraid of getting their hands dirty or putting in work. These technicians can keep delaying service (which their customers are paying for) and still get paid (which in my eyes is wrong) I am getting tired of the BSing around. If they think they are getting paid while I have no service installed in my home, they are sadly mistaken. My son has taken photos of the yard, the dogs, and have copies of the online chats with the AT&T proving that the technician was lying and that the third attempt was not the last attempt as they claim via online chat service. If they take any money out of my account while I have no service installed (due to their lousy technicians) I believe that is grounds for a lawsuit. Any lawyers willing to assist me on the matter?

I NEVER received such a letter. Then they went on to tell me I had 30 days to call to receive the card and now that has passed and they cannot give me the Visa Gift Card. I was furious and asked to speak to a supervisor. She said the same thing, they cannot give me the card because I didn't respond to their letter in March.

I never received the letter. I said to her that I would NEVER throw away a letter telling me how to redeem my $100.00 gift card. Funny how I receive their bill every month. I told them I am canceling my TV service with them. They were writing all this down on the reason I was canceling. They repeated that I was unhappy with their customer service. I said that was incorrect. I am canceling because they lied about sending me the letter. The service rep said, "You have no idea how many people call for the same reason you are calling." I will never do business with a company that promises you a gift card for switching to their service and then won't honor their gift.

I'll be honest. This isn't my first go around with AT&T. It started when we moved from promising internet to being told it wouldn't happen since too many people were on the line, to destroying our yard when the line was finally put in - lines laying uncovered, hidden fees, unreliable connection, getting an upgrade with equipment that was suppose to be "free" - to being charged for equipment we didn't even have and more. AT&T has done nothing but being problematic. Where I am at though, currently AT&T is the only internet service offered. But this latest has added rude customer service to the list. So long as those on the other side of the phone were trying, I could take just about anything. But when those who are suppose to be helping you are just being RUDE, well then it is a done deal.
For the past 3 months, our due date has been iffy. I'll call to schedule a payment - it may or may not go through and then we are hit with a late fee. This has happen for the past few months, meaning our bill has been about $100 a month for crappy internet service. Well this last round I was done. We haven't been getting our paper bill or emails telling us what is going on with service.
Twice I have scheduled payments and they didn't go through. I can't afford to keep paying, and when I filed with the BBB, I received a "follow up" call from AT&T and the woman was HORRIBLY rude. I was told "this isn't our problem" and then informed "but we id go ahead and credit $98 to your account for past disconnections." I was like, "WHEN? When did this happen", and she goes "TODAY. I did this today, and now you owe $12".... Wait WHAT? I just paid $100 a week ago How in the WORLD do I owe $12?!?!?! "Well YOU have past due balances." How I have paid $100 a month each time but somehow I still owe $12? "Well this isn't our problem." I am so confused. I finally got sick of being told I'm "lucky" they were helping and hung up. SO, SO done. I will find some kind of satellite internet or something - anything is better than what they are "providing".

After two failed installation attempts and the technician telling me that he could not solve the problems with the service, I cancelled my U-Verse order. To my surprise I was billed for the time between the initial and follow-up visits, even though the service never worked properly and I informed the AT&T representative about this at the time I called to cancel. When I asked if I was going to be charged for anything, the representative told me if I was that I could dispute the charges. Sure enough, when the statement arrived, there was a balance due.
Why couldn't they get it right the first time? Why did I even have to dispute the charges? After 3-4 calls trying to get the charges removed I began to get robo-calls from AT&T's collection department. Finally I prevailed on a supervisor to have all the charges removed. Total time trying to fix this billing problem was at least 1.5 hours. Now I must wait a month to see if the charges have in fact been removed. What a nightmare from start to finish. Did I mention I spent at least 7 hours away from work during the failed installation attempts? I imagine many people would have just given up and paid the illegitimate charges.

Regular price for this service package is $49 per month. To get the savings I signed up to get the savings even though we don't want or need a home phone. Next month, bill arrived at same price. Called, spent 40 minutes on the phone and was told reduced price would start next bill because of billing cycle.
June bill arrived and STILL $52 and no home phone even listed on the bill. Called again and spent hour and a half trying to get it sorted out. Girl supposedly canceled everything to "restart" everything so it would be correct this time. Gave me a new phone number/account too. 3 days later get ANOTHER bill for different account which includes phone and internet for $53.32.

Seven months ago I switched from Comcast to AT&T because Comcast rewarded my loyalty by raising my fees to twice what I can afford to pay. AT&T quoted me $138 a month total for phone, TV and internet. Every statement, without exception, has been in the $169 range. (Why can't these companies offer senior discounts?!) Secondly, I've had an unlisted phone number for over 50 years so, of course, I asked that my AT&T phone be unlisted also. Every month I'm charged for an unlisted number and every month for the past seven months I've called to complain that my phone number is still published. When I call 411 to see if they're still giving my phone number out, I'm told there's a listed and an unlisted number under my name... which one would I like? ("Duh, I want the unlisted one, please.")
I have one phone and one phone number, for pete's sake, so the stupidity of this is absolutely mind boggling. Every month I call to complain and every month I'm told they'll remedy the situation... Yeah, right. Words cannot begin to describe how frustrated and angry I am. Twice when I called, I've asked to speak to a supervisor and the same thing happened both times: I'm told to hold and I can hear a phone ringing... I'm assuming it's the supervisor's. And after sitting there twiddling my thumbs for TWENTY SIX MINUTES the first time and EIGHTEEN MINUTES the second time, I'm disconnected and back to square one. Oh, too, I'm charged $2.25 for each call to 411... I'm calling to check if they've done their job and they want to charge me?! I should be charging them for my time!
To make matters worse, while I'm watching TV a sign pops up that states "if you want to continue to watch TV, click ok." While I'm scrambling to get two dogs off my lap so I can find the stupid remote, I've missed part of my program! I called customer service the first time this happened and they sent a tech out. He swore up and down that not only had he never heard of this happening, neither had his supervisor. He left without doing a thing. I called several more times to complain and each time I was told a different story... but they all did end the same - there wasn't a thing in the world they can do about it. I have since found out through tech-savvy friends, that one of the cable boxes I have has a sleep mode that it randomly goes into. I called customer service again and asked for equipment that doesn't have a sleep mode and I'm told that they have none. Does that sound right to anyone?!
When I ordered my "bundle" I specifically said I know nothing about internet speed but I wanted enough that I could watch a video straight through without it stopping to buffer every few minutes. I think that somewhere, in a far away land, this is possible, but evidently not with AT&T in California. I'm a senior citizen with a very bad heart... I can't take the frustration of dealing with these complete morons for hours on end EVERY SINGLE MONTH. As far as I'm concerned, AT&T has breached our contract in EVERY conceivable way and my next step will be to report them to the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, the BBB and anyone else I can find.

Then it began: every month the billing was wrong, every month I spent a half-hour with customer service, every month it allegedly got corrected, every month the correction did not appear on the next invoice.
Finally they added a past due pay immediately amount because previous customer service reps had told me to underpay the incorrect bills with alleged credits to come along later. After 4 months of this, a retention rep admitted on today's 65-minute conversation that some of their notes were incomplete or missing from previous encounters. (Curiously, my own handwritten notes from each of the calls are very clear including the dates, rep names, and quotations) Bottom line is that they will no longer honor the offer I accepted 4 months ago and I must now choose between lower speed or the discount price but not both as I was promised.

I got a "whole home DVR" which doesn't mean anything except it's a DVR like everyone else's. Whole HOME meaning if you buy a separate digital converter box for every TV in your home at $10/ea per month every month, then every TV will be able to get some basic channels.
So for me, that would $40/mo extra just in AT&T equipment and their channel packages are very far from BASIC. They make absolutely no sense.

Was switched from landline to Uverse by ATT. The phone quality is horrible, slow to connect, poor sound quality, ATT is unable to fix the problem after at least a dozen repairs. Bill is always higher than quoted and customer service is never open. I must rely on my T-mobile cell phone for service as I can't count of ATT working. It is a shame what has happened to ATT, used to be the best, now they are the worst, seems like they don't care about their customer anymore.

I have had local telephone and internet access service provided by Pacific Bell, now AT&T for the past 20 years at my house. Now in 2015 I cannot get anything other than dial-up internet access for $55 a month for a land line or pay $400 a month for a 1.5mb/sec T-1 line. AT&T offers in select areas of Monterey County a 15mb/sec service for $25 a month but has refused to offer even DSL in my community of 20,000 people. In other states there are communities with fewer than 2,000 people that have fiber installed and high speed broadband provided at affordable rates. AT&T has a virtual monopoly for providing internet access in my area and the result is extortion level rates for service.

I have been on the phone for an hour and 22 mins waiting for these people to just fix this pay per view problem. I have all my friends and family here waiting for you guys to just answer the phone. I have missed three fights and I am still on hold and seven other people are on hold in this current household but we still are waiting to see this pay per view event. If you guys do not allow me to watch this pay per view event after being a customer for AT&T for almost ten years I will terminate my cable and wireless contract indefinitely along with my family and current 14 members in my house that have AT&T.

ATT Uverse streaming impossible. Had a tech come out and check so called speeds but streaming Amazon or Netflix after 7 pm weekdays 5 pm weekends is impossible AND they try to blame Amazon and Netflix at the same time. Uh I don't think so. I run download speed check (by ATT) and the numbers are ok. I can stream to my stupid laptop but what am I paying ATT 150 dollars/month for? Oh btw no customer service on weekends or holidays. If you have to work regular business hours and have to take unpaid time off to stay home to meet "service" you are ** even more.
We are moving to a straight internet only account as soon as this contract (for WHAT EXACTLY?) is done. If that proves to be a problem, I will be doing what has educated me best for the years before internet: reading books. At least we have another option, which unfortunately in the U.S. is not any option because of the cable monopolies sanctioned by our government. Nothing will change in my lifetime but I am hopeful that by "disconnecting" we will accomplish something small. Spend more quality time with our friends and less "screen" time period. The most tuned in people I know are out of Facebook and do not participate in "social media" including teenagers.

I am an existing AT&T Uverse customer and over a week ago, the AT&T customer satisfaction (sales) department cold called me to check on my service and to see if there was anything they could do for me. I was dissatisfied because my bill had just gone up so we worked to negotiate a lower rate on my bill along with upgrading my internet. I also mentioned that I was having trouble connecting my iPad to the internet while in my living room. All my other wireless devices connect but not my iPad. I know it's not an issue with my iPad since it auto connects everywhere else. The AT&T agent said it had to be an issue with my modem so suggested we make an appointment to have the modem updated with the "newest" equipment.
An appointment was made for Fri, May 22 between 1 and 3pm with the tech calling me 30 minutes before his arrival. I changed my entire day's schedule to accommodate this tech visit, and lo and behold, he never showed. I was on the phone at 3pm, talked to 4 different people who had absolutely no clue. Was told the tech tried to call but I did not answer (not true). Was told by another agent the tech couldn't call me since he didn't have my phone number. And then was told the tech showed up but didn't have my apartment number so he didn't know what doorbell to ring. My name is right above my doorbell so if he really did show up, don't know how he missed that. Long story short... after more lines of crap than I can even remember, I am done with Uverse and am currently on the phone ordering Comcast.

Whenever I try to log in for my email, AT&T says "We cannot process your request at this time." That's it. No help. No support. When I finally managed to track down some tech support, they had no idea what the problem was and suggested that I wait a few hours and then try again. These people are idiots.

I paid my bill in full and canceled my AT&T U-verse service last month. I asked the "customer representative" to cancel the service at the end of the billing cycle so I would have no further charges. He explained that the end of the billing cycle was 2 days before the end of the contract date and that I would owe $15 for breaking the contract early. I said in that case to shut off the service at the end of the contract.
This month I received a bill for $15. When I called for an explanation I was told that the charge was for using two days into the next billing cycle. I explained the facts above and was told that he could roll the cancellation date back to the billing date but then I would owe $15 for breaking the contract early or I could leave the cancellation where it is and pay $15 for being two days into the next billing cycle (I had actually stopped using the service and had even returned the equipment four days before the end of the billing cycle but was told that didn't matter).
When I asked why the billing cycle didn't align with the contract date he said the law allowed them to have the billing date within two days of the contract date. I asked if in his knowledge a customers billing date was ever PAST their contract end date so they wouldn't owe extra? He said he couldn't understand what I was asking even though I reworded the question a few different ways. So I said that it sounded like a scam to make sure they would always get more money out of former customers even if they fulfilled their contract and paid their bill in full, in other words a "cancellation fee."

AT&T consistently gives you discounts to keep you as a customer, then goes up on your bill. I feel their services are overpriced. I have not found a service with them that is consistently the same price. I became an AT&T customer paying around 85 dollars per month. Then the cost slowly increased to 248.00 per month (for basic service). I had enough, called and got my bill reduced, the cost was 142.00 for six months, then went to 150. for two months, now my bill is 168. Now AT&T tells me that my bill will go up to 202, plus fees/taxes. I am fed up! It is time to look for another cable service.

Uverse loves to lie to customers and sell you false products. Our business signed up for 6 gig download speed 8 months ago and the entire time, we were never able to get more than 1.6 download speed. The tech came out and said he had no idea why they would sell us a package that we are not covered under. The best part is when I called them to refund us for selling us something they could not provide, they told us that we had signed up under a special and were already paying the same amount. All he could do is apologise to us for being lied to. NEVER TRUST THEM.

I contacted At&T for phone and internet service. I was offered DirecTV services to bundle the package and get even better rates. I was offered Free DVR, HD and select premium channels free for 3 months. I was told my package would stay the same for the duration of my stay with the bundle. When the DVR service would not work I contacted DirecTV and was told it was not free and that the contract for the end of the first year would show an increase for all services to increase to regular pricing.
I informed them that I had been told the package would stay the same as long as I had the services and that they could listen to the recorded call to verify that I would not take the package if it would not stay the same for the duration. Therefore, I was mis-informed and lied to. He told me to cancel I would pay termination fees for both companies. I asked for the Corporate Office and was told to go online to file a complaint at consumer.appeals@bellsouth.com.

For almost 5 years we have had internet and our landline phone service with AT&T (which is actually Southern Bell, S.B.C.). All our computers are Macintosh which for us is a local outfit. With almost rhythmic regularity our email malfunctions such that we cannot send or receive email and because we have MACs they want to charge us for trouble shooting even as the problem is with the servers. This morning we have not been able to successfully log on at all for hours.
After a lot of interactions with this firm I have concluded that this is not a high tech firm but a real estate/monopoly investment scheme--they don't even have email but job it out to Yahoo (technically, when we log on for web access we go to att.yahoo.com) they cannot even handle email: meaning buy servers set them up with well established applications and maintain them physically and technically).
Calling them puts me in the Philippines or some other place and commit to hours of punishing frustration always concluded with some commitment that I am happy with the service which is extracted prior to actually having a resolution. The problem always begins with a denial of my password that is repeated until it finally accepts the offered password that is the same as the one just moments before was denied (I know this is true because I have copied it and inserted it form a simple text (.txt) note I keep on my desktop. I also keep a close notation of how much is billed and the dates involved because they periodically charge late fees of significant amounts such that I would NEVER allow them to bill me automatically and regard them as borderline criminals.

I was a customer of Dish and was real happy with the service and price but I was using ATT internet. I had a combined bill since I had phone and internet with ATT. I had to speak with someone about my phone and the rep from ATT convinced me to switch TV from Dish to Uverse and it took 6 months to get my service working right - they had to reinstall my whole system. Then after a year we moved was told they would move my service and was told to take my devices and an installer would come and my service would be up and running upon our move in date. Well I didn't get anyone out for 2 weeks then the person who came couldn't get my internet working. After another week I was told that they would have to turn off my existing account and open a new one. Well it took another week to finally get it done.
After all this I had to wait 5 months to get a refund from my previous account and since then I have had nothing but problems with internet speed - trying to watch my recordings I get this message that DVD and receiver are not connected to my service and I'm extremely dissatisfied with services I pay my bills. And I'm under Dr's care I'm either in bed or in my recliner so I'm paying for something that I can't use. And when I tell ATT I thought that I would get some type of credit it, to my dismay NO. I would definitely not recommend any type of service from ATT. I disconnected my cell phone because of poor service. I should have known better than to try Uverse. So PLEASE DO NOT TRY OR SWITCH TO ANY FOR OF ATT SERVICE UNLESS you enjoy headaches.

Internet, TV & Phone all out on Sunday May 16th at 9:15 PM -- we'd had storms in the area, so I wasn't very surprised. After trying all the usual tricks (unplugging the power to TV and then to the wall mounted "server" equipment), I finally called AT&T. They said that since both the Service light and the Broadband lights were both out on the Gateway Tower. They told me that this would require a service call. The earliest appt time would be on Tues. May 19th at 8:30 -12:30 (4 hour window). Oddly, the Tower lights came on Monday night May, 18th, at about 9:15 PM.
I responded to the text message they'd sent regarding the technician - I said that they could forget the appt. They said "No - we need to come out anyway." I thought this was strange -- and sure enough this morning Tue. May 19th, our internet service was running extremely slow. The tech guy came out at 12:00 noon and is working outside.
I'm concerned that they are doing something to my system as a response to the new services they are rolling out -- and will find out soon that I need to subscribe to the Digital Life system and am being set-up. My reason for this is that I have noticed over the last 10 years of AT&T mobile service this has been their modus operandi. Create a problem, offer a solution, and voila I'm paying for a new or enhanced service. Has anyone bought a wi-fi extender because their original wi-fi signal had to be enhanced -- look at your bill - you'll see that you pay for that "enhancement."
I recently went to the AT&T store in my neighborhood because I wanted to allow my daughter, who had a old 4S iPhone to get the upgrade for $200 to an iPhone 6. Her phone was 4 months from being eligible. So my plan was to just swap with her until she returned from Europe in 4 months and get myself a iPhone 6 by using her upgrade (I had a 4S also, and now I still have it) - that was Jan. 18th. Anyway - they basically hot-boxed me into getting her on the $27 a month plan which gets the price up to $648 over 2 years. I complained - but they just talked over me like I was an idiot. Eventually I caved in due to trying to get my daughter ready for her trip (time constraints).
I have no respect for them -- they will bait and switch, they will outright lie, and they will cheat you if they can... with no remorse. The salespersons are treated rather harshly by managers I'm told, as well. They need to be reigned in because they obviously are taking advantage of their duopoly with Verizon on Mobile and Oligopoly in TV and Internet. Congress needs to hear from us. I would absolutely recommend a class action against them. I will report back in a few days as to whether the "repair" was another tactic to get me into buying another service... I am confident it is such, though.

There is way too much that needs to be said about Uverse. First, let me start by saying that I transferred service back in February 2015 because we were moving. Well, they helped me to complete my transfer over the phone, and even helped me to get started with a few promotional items, or so I thought. Two days prior to moving, they shut off my cable and internet. I called them up and they stated that they cut me off because I cancelled service. That's not true because I transferred service, not cancelled. Those two words have different meanings in my dictionary. Anyway, after holding on the phone with them for 3 hours, they finally got everything straighten out. Or so I thought. I was told that I needed to pay a $500 deposit as a new customer because my service was canceled. News flash: I didn't cancel my service!!
So after going through the motions again for another 2 hours, they finally agreed to waive the "new customer" fee. Really?? Because it was not my intention to become a new customer, Uverse made me become a new customer. Cutting to the chase, we move in and everything is running smoothly. Until I wake up one morning and have to reboot the entire modem and router. Doesn't sound like a bad thing, until I found myself doing this every other morning before work. So I call them up again to complain about the rebooting of the system. They agreed to send a tech out to set up a new modem. The new modem seemed to be working fine, until I get home from work to cut on the tv and discover that the receiver needs to be restarted "again". What else is new at this point?
I go into the living room to restart the modem, only to discover that there are no lights on the modem at all!! The thing would not turn on. It was plugged in and everything. I even switched outlets, still nothing. So I immediately call Uverse, they go through all the motions "again". I finally snapped!! I had a Kanye West type of temper tantrum. I had to vent and who better to take it out on than the source. After all of the crap Uverse has put me through since moving to my new residence nearly 3 months ago, the most they could do was give me a ** $10 credit and a technician to come out in 48 hours. Really???!!! That's it, after all of the ** ups, that's the best they could do. My question to them was, "Why is my service so crappy when there are techs swarming my neighborhood everyday?" Their answer was, "You can tap on their window and see if they can help you." Really Uverse??!! Three days without cable or internet over a faulty modem... smh!!

Relocated my business to a new location. Surprised only carrier covers that area is AT&T, with no more option. Open an account with them for DSL internet (only service available). This is Feb. 26. On Feb. 28 got internet connected, and the problem began for the landline. March 6, an AT&T rep told us, "In order to get the port of the line finalized we needed to cancel our account with the other carrier." Of course we did it! After 40 days with no phone and talking to different reps (one time, talked to a manager who gave me email and phone number to contact directly, 20 days, several emails and voice mails, no answer), finally the fifth technician that came told us, "That was an easy process," and next day got the phone working. This is April 28...finally got everything working!
Then on May 10 one morning internet did not work. Called customer service and we have told that "Somebody cancel our account," that he opened an emergency ticket and we should wait for a call. Of course nobody calls. Next day talked to a different rep that told us our account never existed!!! Talked to different reps that told us the same. Today is May 18. Finally can talk to the first rep who found our account cancelled. Told us he would help us getting to the correct department but after more than an hour with him on the line and getting transferred from one department to another the call dropped and no one call us back. In resume, almost 80 days and no problem resolved. Frustrated is a small word of how I feel right now!!

I have had U-verse for almost 2 1/2 years now. I am moving to a new house and needed to transfer my service. The first time I talked to an agent about it, he told me U-verse was not available at that address. I was bummed, but understood. I needed internet at the new house ASAP so I found another provider and paid them and scheduled an installation with them. The very next day I talked to another AT&T agent about cancelling because it wasn't available and what do you know? U-verse was somehow now available at the new location after just one day. But, since I had already signed up and paid another provider I told the agent I still needed to cancel. She proceeded to keep offering me deals, but I told her multiple times no because I had already paid someone else.
This went back and forth at least four times until I finally had to say: "Cancel my service now. Please." So she tells me she's not able to do that and gives me a number to call. Luckily, I did not close out of our conversation because the number she gave me would not allow me to talk to anyone and told me to call my provider directly. I told her that exact thing and she said: "Well, the line is just busy, try again in 15 minutes." After arguing with her about that she finally gave me another number to call and guess what? The office was closed and I'd have to call again the next day. What an amazing waste of time and awful experience this gave me with AT&T. And because of this, I will never ever use them again.

The first year with U-verse, I was billed the same amount for the entire 12 month period as promised. After that, monthly bills varied as much as $20 even though I never stream or buy pay per view. Excuses were everything from tax increases to that promotion ended, even though if I quit the service, I'd have to pay a huge termination fee. They never abide by their agreed upon terms once the initial period expires. To AT&T a contract has no meaning except as a means to charge more fees to the consumer on a monthly basis.
