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.

    Worst experience ever!!! As I write this I am in tears over my bill. No one ever returns calls. 5 phone calls over the last week, each at least an hour long, and my problem is still not resolved. I was told my bill would be lower than Verizon - LIES!! All they do is try to sign you up for more of their overpriced **!!! I will tell anyone who will listen to stay far away from these liars and thieves!!!

    An AT&T rep knocked on my door one day about 2 years ago and explained to me what U-verse had to offer. The price after some complicated number crunching was to be $101 per month after taxes and fees for internet and one of their middle-sized TV packages. After making a deal, the bill was much higher the very first month. Each month the bill was around $157. Each month it took literally hours on the phone to get the price I was promised. After a year I was surprised though because my bill jumped to $197 and they were no longer willing to do our monthly two-hour argument by phone and fix it. I was told that price was only good for a year.

    After about 4 hours on the phone, I was finally offered their best deal of $134 per month for the same service I had been promised a year earlier for the $101. I was not happy, so signed up for automatic bill pay, $197 was billed the very next month. When I called AT&T they told me there was nothing I could do they would take the $197 out for a year and if I canceled, I would be billed something like $1200 for early termination of my contract. I stopped payment through the bank. They cut service and called me. After some back and forth by phone, they apologized and agreed to make sure the bill was $134 as they had said, if I returned. The very next month I was on the phone after being billed $197 again. AT&T corrected the bill and billed me at the $134 amount for a few months. Recently I noticed they have been billing and receiving the $197 out of my account again.

    After calling them, they told me that I had once again reached my year at the agreed rate and was no longer able to receive the promo that had placed on my account. It had not been a year, but even if it had been a year, this would be crooked, plain and simple bait and switch. Promise one price, get the customer signed on then skyrocket the price. They told me there are some new promos I can get, but not the ones reserved for new customers. They actually said new customers are offered much more in order to give them incentive to switch to AT&T. They told me my new price was the $197 that they have been charging me all along, without the promo discounts.

    I asked if there was any way to get close to the $101 I was promised in the beginning. The answer was no, but I could get down to around $160 if I would drop my TV service to the smallest package they have. But get this, the offer to do this is only good with a signed 2-year contract in which the price agreed upon is only good for the first year of the contract, and they cannot even say what they will charge the last year of a contract. Yes, they asked me to sign a contract and lock myself in and they can charge me whatever they want for a year.

    This is the most unprofessional company on the planet. Bait and switch, prices and yes their service is just as bad. If you have a problem and need a tech, you will wait and wait. In conclusion, I asked them if there is any way to get anywhere close to the second price I was promised after the first one was a lie. They told me no and said that AT&T loses money at that price. $134 a month for basic TV and internet is not enough, they said. I had to turn down that great offer of around $160 for the first year of a 2-year contract in which AT&T can set whatever price they wish for the second year and stick to the $197 until I can switch back to my previous company. Bait and switch used to be illegal in this country. AT&T is a criminal company.

    I had AT&T Uverse services in 2013-2014. After my services was disconnected I took the equipment to the nearest AT&T store but they told me they couldn’t accept the equipment and I should call the 1800 number. When I called the number they wanted me to pay the bill not one time did they say where to return the equipment. Before I knew it they had turned my information to the credit bureau. On Feb 8, 2016 I called the same 1800 number and talked with a gentleman about my previous Uverse account. He apologized for the inconvenience and emailed me a smart label and told me where I should return the equipment. Keep in mind the gentleman pulled up my account and saw how long I had the equipment but still emailed me the smart label with no problem.

    The very next day I return all wires, boxes, and remote controls to UPS. I was also given a receipts for my records. When I check the tracking information to see if it had reached AT&T, it informed me all equipment was returned to AT&T. I called AT&T to find out if they have received the equipment, they told me all equipment was received. I ask if any adjustments had been made to my account, only to find out no adjustments were made but the gentleman told me he was going to put in a ticket to rush things along.

    On April 8, 2016 I called to check on the account, they informed me yes they have the equipment but they were not taking the $450.00 off my bill due to the equipment being in my care for over a year. I informed the operator I had no idea I had limited time to turn all the equipment. I asked to speak with a manager. I was on hold for an hour and 45 mins, only to be transferred to a young lady who didn’t speak English and she worked for Dish Satellite. Keep in mind the equipment was not damaged, it was very well kept. When I called back that area they were closed and wasn’t going to return until Monday morning.

    On April 11, 2016 I called the corporate office, and filed a complaint. The complaint was noted but they didn’t do anything about the situation. Corporate was very unprofessional also. I am emailing because I don’t feel it is right that I have to pay for equipment I no longer have, and besides if I knew where to turn the equipment in, I would have turn it in well before now.

    AT&T are wanting me to pay $450.00 for equipment I turned in. I don’t think I should pay for equipment that has been refurbish and placed into someone else’s home. Time Warner Cable would send someone out to pick up their equipment, AT&T should consider this process. AT&T Uverse is a heartless company and I advise everyone to stay away from this company and tell all of your family and friends to never get this service. They are some crooks!!! PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO SOCIAL MEDIA!!

    I have been rather limited to ISP choices until Google came to town with their fiber. I have had periods where the AT&T service gave me hope they could be consistent and then times when they could not seem to keep it working. I had about a 2-year old modem which worked relatively well and then one day it started having intermittent problems. Eventually it became more and more unreliable until finally I was forced to call for help. I called the main number and I was led by an automated attendant in circles which was very frustrating because it wasted my valuable time. I eventually learned there was a specific number to call which got me a person with a foreign accent, but at least he was responsive to my problems and arranged for a technician to visit.

    The technician came on time and was very professional and pleasant. He stated that he would replace my modem with a new model and that it should take care of my intermittent service issues as my old modem was considered by him to be rather old (however I just was changed from regular DSL internet to Uverse Internet about 2 years ago).

    You would think that I would then be satisfied with reliable internet service, but the service was as intermittent as before, but this time I recognized it was because of DNS issues. I called the cell number he had left for me and he did not seem to be as available as he had indicated and did not seem to understand what I was talking about, but MS Win 10 does do some network troubleshooting and I also have had formal network training. I then called the Uverse troubleshooting number I used last time and I was given another technician appointment.

    Another guy this time and again well trained with a professional attitude and demeanor. I told him that the DNS in the modem (which I could access and view through the setup menu) needed to be changed to a reliable DNS of which there are several, but it could not be done from the setup screen. I found out from the modem manual I found on the internet that it needed to be changed by command line input. He said he did not know how to do that, but that he had the newest modem and he would replace mine for no charge.

    I said the last guy had just put in a new modem about a month before and he said, no that modem was not new and had been out for a year or so. So the first technician had essentially given me a newer modem than my original 2-year old Uverse modem, but it was still a year old! Well I did better with the newest modem and I noticed under setup that it used a well known reliable DNS address - different from the AT&T DNS in the 2nd modem that was often unresponsive. However after about 3 months the newest modem started having connection issues also.

    So I am very tired of AT&T and I am very glad Google has come to town and reopened signups for my area. At the present I hope to hang on with occasional intermittent service until the Google fiber can be trenched from the street to my house and I can permanently switch to 1 Gbps service for $13 more a month. So I will be just one customer lost from AT&T, but like a CEO once said "losing only one customer may not seem like much, but the one at a time losses can add up to a meaningful number over time".

    I was promised Uverse internet service with speeds capable of streaming my Hulu and Amazon Prime. I have experienced the worst customer service I have ever encountered with any type of service in my life. In the less than 8 months that I have been stuck with AT&T, I have had over 7 technician visits, 3 modems, 5 online chat sessions (which lasted for more than an hour each), and so many technician phone calls that I have lost count. My AT&T services at 3.2 mbps are costing the same here, as the services that AT&T provides in other areas with 18 mbps. Upon doing research, I find that 3.2 mbps is not enough speed for streaming. Therefore, I was lied to by the sales representative from the very beginning.

    The 12 hour window always provided by AT&T for a technician visit is the worst in the industry. I have missed 7 days of work to sit home for a technician to show up and repair the service. Each time, I have been told it was a new issue. Twice, the technician showed up a full day before scheduled, forcing me to reschedule and wait another week for repairs. In other words, my service has been off more than it has been on.

    I am now on my third modem supplied by AT&T, which has made no difference in the off and on services I have. I have tried countless times to get help from a manager or supervisor, and have heard every excuse there is for why I am not going to talk to a supervisor, and twice been told by the original person I was speaking with, that suddenly, they are the manager!

    I have been driven to tears of pure frustration in dealing with AT&T. I would not recommend their services to anyone. I am an apartment manager and now openly recommend to all new tenants to stay away from AT&T. The few that have ignored my recommendation are now coming to me with complaints also. In fact one is insisting to have her place rewired because an AT&T tech told her it was our wiring that was at issue here. How preposterous! The local cable company is having no such problem.

    I have come to the conclusion that AT&T needs to clean house, from the top down. There is no possible way, they are unaware of the issues, but they continue to peddle subpar services equivalent to third world countries. I will gladly participate in any Class Action lawsuit against them, as long as the lawyers involved do not settle for a mere pittance. Make AT&T stand up and be responsible for their fraudulent claims of service capable of streaming and their total disregard for customers financial losses, such as missed days of work for their 12 hour technician window, or losses due to attempting to work from home with a poor or even nonexistent Uverse internet services. MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE!

    I am always amazed when a telecom company finds new ways to lower the customer service bar, but yet again they have done it. I had DSL for a few years, after AT&T instituted a 150GB data cap, I found myself exceeding the limit. I do not have cable and I use NetFlix, YouTube, etc... I understand AT&T probably does not want me as a customer on DSL and that is fine.

    I switched over to a cable internet provider and cancelled my service. I called and spoke with a representative who was very nice and helpful. She advised me stop my autopay because AT&T bills ahead for service. I did that and I received a bill marked "Final Bill" that billed me in full for service I only partially received (I was also told I did not have a final bill and my next bill would be marked "Final Bill", but that's just another minor inaccuracy on the information I received from the "customer support"). I cancelled on February 29th, AT&T shows it as March 2nd, small discrepancy. Inaccurate, but I can deal with that minor inaccuracy. However the bill is for service rendered from February 26th to March 25th with a billing date of March 19th. A billing date of March 19th after I cancelled on February 29th.

    Now when I called to make my final payment based on what would be the final bill, I went round and round with a customer service representative and her boss about how the "system" generates these bills and there is nothing they could do because I cancelled after the statement was printed. I asked how that could be since I cancelled on February 29th and the billing date was March 19th, which seems to be later than February 29th. While the rep or her boss could not explain that, I was told they would send me a check back for the service not rendered after I pay them for service not rendered.

    So, I now have the choice to pay my bill for service not rendered and wait for a check back or not pay my bill and receive a second "Final Bill" with a lesser amount, but with a late fee added because I did not pay for the service I did not receive. Paying the bill of course relies on the hope/assumption/blind faith that I will receive a second "Final Bill" and a refund. After asking if there was anyone else to speak to and finding out there was no one, I hung up on this pointless endeavor. In my opinion this type of billing practice should be illegal. I now have to pay for service not rendered and wait for a refund or get hit with a late fee for not paying for service which I did not receive. If you have other options for your service needs, I would advise you to strongly consider those options.

    First, hire people in customer service that can speak English! I spent over an hour talking to someone with mush in their mouth and sounded like an Indian accent. The whole time trying to understand the gentlemen, someone was screaming in his background. Your service reps. apparently knew nothing about the workings of Uverse and was just reading off a printed sheet. Don't you people understand that nowadays, all the AT&T electronic equipment is scattered throughout a house in separate rooms and floors and attic? It is almost impossible to run all over the house to locate equipment! I'm no dummy, I checked all the obvious problems before I called, then had to do it again several times more for the rep. Please be aware that if I have to go through this ordeal again, I will cancel ALL my AT&T accounts!

    Hello there. If I could assign a -20 grade to AT&T I would do it. I ordered a transfer of the same services that I had to a new address. The technician came within five days and installed the new modem and on that they he told me that my U-verse, voice phone line will be activated in two days. Then I received a delayed email stating that the technician (that already had installed the internet) will be in my apartment on the 1st of April. The email was dated April 3. I waited the two days for the activation to be completed. I called the AT&T activation department only to hear that there was an error and that they needed to activate the phone but that a technician was needed.

    In the meantime I received another email and a text message stating that the equipment was sent via UPS and I would receive it in three business days (Here I have to make clear that I already had installed a modem by the first technician). I called AT&T for at least 15 times each time talking with a different person somewhere in the Philippines (I live in the US), every time listening the same that there was an error and sending me from customer representative to supervisor to technician and nobody was able to solve this issue. Today, I was waiting from 9 to 11 a.m for a technician to come to the apartment. He never showed up neither I received a communications that he will not come.

    So I decided to go personally to the AT&T store. I spoke with a customer service representative and he told me to wait until the end of the day and to call again to the activation department. I am sitting here already one hour in the phone with a customer representative on the other line I was put on hold. If I didn't need the telephone line to use it in an emergency device used for my elderly mother I would had already canceled all my services with AT&T. The most probable outcome probably will be that I will file a complaint with the authorities and probably sue AT&T since they are putting at risk the life of my mother. My advice to all of you: Dump AT&T.

    I cancelled my Uverse and had to talk with 5 different people over 2 months to get a final bill. They kept billing me and telling me that I had a late charge. When I called, one service person told me they received the equipment back and the next call I was told they never received it. I spoke with a person with a very distinctive voice who told me he would get a manager to relieve my tension and when the person came back in 15 minutes, the same person stated he was the manager. This company does everything to get you to pay a final bill that they have inflated. All told, I had to make 5 different calls and spend over an hour on each call and got no results, until they saw I was no dummy.

    The technician that came to our home was on-time, polite and professional. He even left his cell phone number in case we had any issues, we could call him and he said he would assist us. U-Verse uses this new wireless system but every morning I have to reset the entire system by unplugging everything, plugging it all back in in order then reconnect all the wireless receivers. Even after all that, the picture freezes about every 5-10 minutes, so I have to change the channel then change it back to continue watching. Calling customer service is a joke, all you get are recordings transferring from one recording to another. Do you know how I told you that the technician left his number for us? Well, he won't answer or return any calls. Once I figure out how to contact these people, I will cancel the service and go back to the cable companies.

    I've experienced poor customer service and tech support from AT&T for many years. I cancelled a U-Verse account years ago, as a result. Here I am several years later, attempting to retrieve an old email account (@att.net) and I'm reminded why I cancelled in the first place. After spending several hours using the "password helper" on their website, which is chock full of issues and did not work (the only email account I've ever had with these kind of issues), I finally tried live chat.

    Two times contacted and both times I was disconnected, but not before being told I was incorrect about MY name and MY address. "Are you for real?", I asked the not-so-live operator. I'm convinced it was a computer. I finally resorted to contacting their customer service by phone, which proved to be another major waste of time. Four calls. Four disconnects. Three operators saying they would call me back, if we were disconnected. Not ONE single return call. Final tier one idiot says that my email account was "expired 90 days after the U-Verse account was cancelled". I told him I know he's wrong about that because I had access to it several years later (about 3 years ago). He insisted no one could help me and couldn't tell me why the FIVE other people I spoke to didn't tell me that. Unbelievably the worst customer service of any telecom company. Thank you for outsourcing to other countries you cheap, mediocre company. RIPieces AT&T!!!

    I have had AT&T for years with poor service at my house but since I commute to work and school I tend to spend a lot of time away from home. I was able to setup a GoPhone plan on my Nexus 5 which boasts 2 GB of 4G LTE and unlimited 3G data with unlimited talk and text for $40 a month. Seeing as this plan was unbeatable at the time, I stuck with AT&T. I recently found the AT&T MicroCell which is supposed to extend service coverage through an existing broadband connection. I'm thinking YES this will finally wrap up my problems, but it did the exact opposite... After contacting customer service about this product, I mentioned that my brother and I both use the GoPhone service and would appreciate AT&T fixing our service issue with one of these MicroCell units. They mentioned that it would solve our problems however we would need to purchase one from an AT&T store! Great, I'll get right on it...

    After purchasing a used MicroCell online, I called AT&T support to help set-up the unit. I was immediately met with the fact that GoPhone customers cannot use MicroCell products unless invited by a superior "Post-Paid" or better known as "contract locked" user. This means that I need to completely change my service plan to set-up the MicroCell that I purchased to finally get service at my house! I was transferred to sales and talked to a representative for hours setting up a new "Post-Paid" plan. This plan features the same unlimited talk and text but will cap my data at 2GB of 4G LTE (no 3G unlimited here!) and will cost $55 a month! WHY DOES THIS PLAN COST MORE THAN MY GOPHONE PLAN??

    I mentioned this to the sales rep who immediately glossed over it as if I was getting a deal... I was told that a new SIM card with this "new" Post-Paid plan would arrive within 2 days and I could bring it to an AT&T store to get my old number switched to the "new" plan. After 2 days of waiting for the SIM card to finally ship (not arrive, SHIP) I skipped over the waiting a week for it to arrive and went straight into an AT&T store to see if they could expedite the process with a different SIM card. The AT&T store sales rep told me he can't do anything but give me a blank SIM card and said they can handle the rest of the process over phone support... I called phone support the next morning. They told that there is absolutely nothing that can be done until my SIM card has arrived in the mail. I am STILL WAITING for the SIM card to arrive and I can guarantee I will have more issues as I attempt to finally fix the service issues at my house...

    To Recap (if this was too much to read): 1) I have had service issues for years and they cannot issue me a MicroCell or anything to fix my problem. 2) I had to switch my plan from an unlimited everything GoPhone plan for $40 a month to and Post-Paid 2GB data cap plan for $55 a month (with possible coverage fees). 3) Neither the AT&T store nor AT&T phone support has the ability to actually transfer my service plan so I can finally be done with this unbelievable process. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND AT&T TO ANYONE. Conveniently Verizon is now more focused than ever on customer satisfaction and with exceptional service coverage at my house. I will definitely be considering their Prepaid Smartphone Plans.

    I paid nearly $50 for 3mbps. I have recently made the switch to Xfinity where I get over double the speed for nearly the same price. When I was with AT&T, my service was intermittent at best and when I did have a connection, it was not able to stream video services. This was extremely inconvenient as I was not paying for any television service and relied on my internet connection for any programming. I would not recommend AT&T Uverse internet for anyone, especially in the Atlanta area.

    Initial installation seemed to go okay. Great tech. Excellent customer service. The issues started soon after. I work from home so I paid to get the best internet speed available. I have had nothing but literally headaches, many many hours on phone, chats unsatisfactory resolution. First Service call tech said line was not done correct repaired? Same issues. Another call in, "I am having issues." Tech rep and I are literally on the phone two hours. No resolution. "I will need to send tech." Tech arrives. Attitude had to replace boxes. Okay great. Working... put a load on wifi, ethernet, cable and phone isn't working properly and I received a gift in mail a SERVICE FEE.

My March bill came and I was hit with a $7/monthly fee for the equipment which was not mention by technician nor I signed any invoice.

    Yesterday on March 28th, I contacted AT&T's billing department and was waiting for a long time then a representative came on and I told her what had happened. Representative told me that she was going to do adjustment on my account then I waited for awhile and somehow we got disconnected. I decided to call back today since yesterday I have to wait for a long time. I called today on March 29th around 8:30 am and I got to billing department right away. Representative named "JOHN" was no help and just told me that $7/equipment can not modify! I told him that I was not aware of $7 charge or agree to pay that fee, then John just said, "Well you just have to pay the total amount on your bill which include that $7" and then he hang up!

ID: ** and he told me that $7/month fee will stick to my account!!! I told him that I was never told that I will be charge for the modem. "How are you expecting your customer to pay if the don't know that they will be charge for it???" Francis told me that this issue was brought up in their board meeting. I said "Well then???

Ultimately, we ended up going back to our old wireless plan and now have internet and cable (we haven't had cable in 7 years but got it because it would be no extra charge) that we don't have a bundle for. Why would I pay $100 more per month on my wireless just to bundle? I was paying $280.00 and now they are charging me $375 for wireless plus $104 for cable/internet. It makes no sense. Buyer BEWARE.

We agreed to change, but when they came out to our house the serviceman determined that there was no suitable location for the satellite dish. We canceled service with AT&T and went with another provider. We received a bill for $192.60. I was expecting a credit for prepaid service from AT&T and followed up with the service department. I was told that the charge was for "terminating our DirecTV contract early". (I believe they are the ones in default on the "contract" since they were unable to provide the service). I first spoke with a customer service representative named "Galit" and then with a supervisor named "Ms. **" who assured me that the charges would be reversed- this was in February 2016.

    After four years of having the same modem, AT&T began charging a $7.00 equipment fee on my bill. At first, they said the charges were related to a visit from a technician on 2/17/16 that never occurred. They claimed I got a new modem on the date of the non-existent visit. Two hours on the phone with 4 different representatives, and not one of them could verify a visit from the technician... no confirmation number, no ticket number, no returned modem, no nothing. So I attempted to resolve the issue via online chat. This time, the charges allegedly stemmed from a promotion that ended at the beginning of the year. In order to avoid these fees, I was told, I would have to return the modem that I had for the last 4 years. The representative told me I could go to a UPS store or my local AT&T store to return the modem. I packaged it up and took it over to the AT&T store which was closest to me.

    The employee that greeted me copped an attitude as soon as I told him the reason for my visit. He told me that AT&T store locations do not accept modems back and that I'd have to take it to the UPS store, WHICH HAD JUST CLOSED! I told the employee that it would help their reputation if even one employee knew what they were talking about and that I came to the store because one of their own representatives told me this was one way to return the modem. That means I'll have to waste even more time tomorrow to return the modem and keep as much documentation as possible because they might claim they never received the modem and try to charge me again.

    Needless to say, when my contract is up this year, I will not be renewing my service. I have since bought my own modem but still will need to use the U-verse service until my contract ends. I would advise anyone looking into getting internet from AT&T to beware!

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

    My wireless service had been interrupted by Unified Billing Department twice, when AT&T Wireless division had no issues with my account. The time I spent, and important business calls to be received during the service interruption are extremely frustrating. My advice to all AT&T users is be very careful talking to any AT&T agent, visiting an AT&T store, or when on AT&T website. Always carefully listen and read their disclosed articles.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I need someone to help get AT&T to listen. I am an Information Technology professional. Internet should stay connected. It continues to drop off on a ongoing basis.

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

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

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

It all sounds great; they'll switch me over & I'll save $15 a month. Problem is, & I always forget this & they never mention it, but the "switching" will require me doing things with equipment on my end. They send me something the size of a car battery I'm supposed to do something with - I'm never sure what. Also, they tell me, unlike my current phone landline, a 3rd party battery backup system is required to make call 911 in an emergency. None of this is mentioned in sales pitch. There's no stinking switch, just the nightmare of trying to hook something up for the first time and jeopardize everything that I have working now just the way I like finally. I'll end up trashing the battery-type thing as they provide no way of returning it which I hate to do as it's so wasteful.

    And they never mention if you live in an apt as I do, the whole thing may not work anyway but they do try to keep a list of those places. Great! I don't blame their poor employees who they give no support or training they are victims too. I've come to believe the AT&T big shots hate their employees as much as they hate their customers &, judging from their phone menu system (which is atrocious), they'd like to get rid of us both if they could figure a way to just suck the $ out of our accounts.

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

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

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

    They don't care if they help or not. If you are able to talk with anyone (or on hold for hours sometimes). Poor quality. There are only 2 providers in area and Comcast is even worse. They provide the service. Prices increase every year. If there were another provider that have competitive pricing and support, they would easily win over customers. Most of the time it is online. Sometimes system restarts itself.

    It seems all these cable companies do this. They give some rebate then jack your price up. When changed from 450 to 350 or 300 the rep did not bother to set up my HD service. I had no HD channels. I had to reorder 450. First off they admitted they did not give me the bandwidth I had been paying for $52 monthly. In fact it was 50%. They locked me in but never offered a rebate or payback or credit. Seems all these companies are doing the same thing. They wham you with up charges after a period of time.

    They consistently offer no help, advice, options. The quality was pretty good, but low marks because they always, always raise their rates an exorbitant amount. It wasn't too bad until they raised the rates by $60 a month! It was generally reliable. It worked pretty consistently, but we switched back to time warner because of the ridiculous rate increase. This is something we just have to get used to doing every damned year until we figure out how to use internet tv and movies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    This complaint is that they are billing us for services not rendered. It is also that they are attempting to bill us for installation fees when there was a promise of free installation. And lastly, it for telling us on FOUR separate occasions that the account had been closed out and that we owed nothing, only to find out that it was sent to collections. Let it be known that I called them again today, on February 15, 2016, because today I received yet another call from collections. I talked with John in Delhi India, ID # **. He also assures me that he has taken care of this issue, but I no longer trust anyone at AT&T.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh, and don't sign up for any promos because they will get you with a $135 early termination fee. AT&T is the worst.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Installation Tech said Uverse, after poking around with our wiring, not comparable with our home alarm system. He said they will calling me about Uverse later. They started calling me every day 4x a day regarding Uverse. I explained over 30 times that Uverse not comparable with alarm system but they keep calling. Then I find out from AT&T tech admitting that our DSL is not working and they can see it online from their side. 3 Tech came to check wiring. Then I find out that our alarm is not working because phone wires not connected.

    Tech from alarm company called, wiring from telephone to alarm system disconnected. No one has touched our phone wiring until recently since 6-2015 except ATT. Meanwhile I have been paying for monitored home alarm service that is not working because AT&T disconnected my alarm wiring and not notifying us that this was done. Now my phone lines keep saying "check the lines". Thank God that I didn't have a emergency that required that this service that I am paying for, call the police, fire department or medical for assistance. And I am still paying for the internet service that still is not working properly.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AT&T/U-verse swiped my DSL service without telling me anything about a stupid upgrade when my DSL was fine. I have so many problem with my U-verse losing connecting and having to call a tech out within one month. I also had to have new phone jacks installed where I moved to. I had only had my equipment installed about five months before I moved. They forced me to pay $218. After that a bill came in two days that I had to pay $62, by then my phone had been suspended for non payment though I had paid and told them what day I would pay. I paid the $218 in two days.

    Now that I have moved I have paid AT&T $630 and they did not take the jacks out of the old rent place that should have been installed to my new residence and save me an installation fee of $99 both times. Getting a rewards card went straight toward the phone bill. The once hung up on me when I complained about the bill and extra charges. A $10 discount for a few months did not help. I will never suggest AT&T/U-verse to a friend or family. Still being charged or scared to see my next bill but they said it will be the normal bill.

    We started experiencing internet issues in Dec. 2015, I reported this to service provider. I asked if we needed a modem replacement and was told no, that it was another type issue. I explained that both my husband and I are online graduate students and this internet service is a necessity for us. In less than a month we are experiencing the same issues again and after 3 days of no service, I report the problem and am told we do not need a new modem - it's some other type of issue.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    NEED MORE PROOF THAT AT&T ARE **! The $300 visa is compensation for the time you are going to spend on the phone with these people trying to work out outrageous bills. Of course you won't really get this deal. (In case you got the 300 dollar promotion on your bundle, that only includes if you have house phone in your bundle... it's really 100 dollars after 90 days. They literally transfer you all around the world. Yesterday I spoke to someone offshore in the Philippines. Today I am talking to someone In "sunny San Diego!"

    My friend who told me about the bundle deal works in the customer service department in Orlando, Fl and I am calling from Sacramento, Ca. I can't get mad at my friend who as worked there for 15 years for telling me about what she knows her company provides.. It's when you deal with these people that have been there a month or a year and they start going off script making their own crap up. THEY MAKE SO MUCH OF IT UP! Their Bundle package does not exist, they can't even look at DirecTV, Internet and the cell phone at the same time. Not without getting to the "specialist." but you will have to talk to about 6-8 people before they will even tell you that.

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

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

    Oh yeah to get my Internet to work I have to go to my modem on the other side of the room EVERY MORNING since I got it. I have to unplug it and plug it back in, wait five minutes. Ooo Now I am in India and my cell phones aren't included in the bundle... (not what I was told). Now a week later after numerous phone calls I am told "oh yeah, your cell phone cant be bundled because you were already mobile customer with us..." WTF. I know the BBB is all a bunch of crap, I never used it. But for once in my life I am reporting them to BBB. I am going to review them on every social media app I know of, or can find.

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

That's ** since I can obviously use the internet and watch regular tv. It's so frustrating. I had someone reset the modem to see if that would fix it and an hour later it did it again. Of course when I called back to report this problem a new person wouldn't talk to me since they claimed not to be able to find the account using my address, my roommate's name or number so I was left with this problem to deal with again for the third time today. This never happened with Time Warner or Comcast. If I had a choice I would cancel this service (under my roommate's name) and get something better and less expensive. Think twice before you sign up with AT&T.

    Please, do not ignore this email. Experienced the same thing or a friend I have!!! I have not been able to reach my email in 4 to 6 days. I have contacted AT&T on several occasions and with no ease. I have not gotten no results!!! from no one at AT&T to solve this problem. I have been transferred to 5 different people. Thing is when you are transferred to someone else you have to go thru the process of explaining the problem again and you are placed on hold forever!!! AT&T customer service has been GOOD in the past that is why I stayed with them. BUT NOW WOW! NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. IN fact one of the techs told me that he has never heard of my situation not able to get my email. After he tried to assist me twice and he could not solve the problem... WHAT HAPPEN TO AT&T???

    I wouldn't give AT&T a single star. This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. I have had to deal with AT&T several times within the past few months. I always get the go around with these people. They never know what they are talking about and they LIE LIE LIE to their customers. Today I was on the phone with AT&T for over 3 1/2 hours trying to get a replacement phone. They tell me they would have the new phone to me by tomorrow, but now according to my email it will not be here for another 5-7 business days. Called back and they said "we can't send phone overnight" blah blah blah. This is just one example of the many problems I have had with miscommunication with AT&T.

    Called a few weeks back to cancel my AT&T Uverse and I wanted to just keep internet. The guy on the phone told me that it would only cost me $32 for internet after I cancel my Uverse. But I should have known better than to believe their **. My bill was actually raised to $70 after I canceled and when I called back to ask why my bill had been raised they told me they cannot do any promo deals for $32 dollars if I don't have cable. These people have no clue what they are talking about.

    Another example, I had to call AT&T about returning my Uverse equipment and the AT&T representative told me he could lower my bill by $16 and get my unlimited internet on our cell phones. Called back today and I was misinformed again! This company is **. Whatever you do stay far away from this company. Unless you want endless headaches and representatives who don't have a ** clue what they are talking about. ** you AT&T.

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

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

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

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

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

    Called on January 7, 2016 to cancel my account for DSL internet. I had a credit balance of $20.54 and was told I owed nothing and would show a credit balance on the final bill in 4-6 weeks. Then I would receive a paper check in the amount of the credit. I recorded the phone conversation. January 26, 2016 I received a bill for the account that shows the account still active and also that I owe for the next billing cycle. January 27, 2016 I contacted AT&T through the "live chat" option and it was confirmed that I should have a credit due and that the account should have been closed on January 7th, but due to "an error" it was not. I was instructed to call since the "live chat" representatives do not have access to "cancellation". I printed the live chat transcript and have yet to call to cancel for the 2nd time later this morning after 8 am EST.

    Tonight, I excitedly turned on the NBA channel to watch the Cavs game. You can imagine my extreme disappointment to see no game, but instead a sentence in big, intimidating letters that read: THIS GAME IS BLACKED OUT IN YOUR VIEWING AREA. So, naturally, I google what this means and I found that it's because of some silly contract. If I am paying to watch the Cavs, or any other team, from the comfort of my couch it shouldn't take any actual effort to watch the game. The last thing I wanted to do was channel surf. So thank you AT&T for ruining four minutes of my lazy night.

I have had AT&T out to my house several times, takes up your whole day, they fool around with everything, router in house, climb the pole and it will be doing the same thing the next day. Very frustrating to call them, plan on about 45-60 minutes on phone. Also very hard to understand some of the so called customer service reps.

    I received a call at work at 4:30 pm on Thursday asking me had I paid the cable bill because it wasn't working. I laughed and said, "Of course, I did." Well, my mother proceeded to explain that there was a technician working on the box in front of my neighbor's house and when he got done, we no longer had cable or Internet. This was Thursday 1/21. I called technical support and explained what happened and the young lady told me there was no way she could see where the disconnect was. I wasn't buying that. I then called back and received a young lady in another country who told me that it would be an hour before I could speak to a supervisor. Needless to say, I spoke with someone in 10 minutes. I still couldn't get any answers.

    I hung up and called back and I got a gentleman who actually knew what he was doing and ran a test that showed there was a problem with the service, from OUTSIDE! Just like I said, the technician cut off my service. Well, they dispatched a technician who was supposed to come out on 1/24. Well, guess what? I just received a call telling me that they will not be dispatching any technicians until Wednesday. I don't understand that either since the storm had already ended. Are you kidding me? I just paid a $200 U-verse bill and I had to go to Walmart and buy an HD antennae. I am also a college student and I have to tether my phone to get wi-fi access to do my homework. After this issue is resolved, I will be cancelling U-verse and it won't be to go back to DirecTV since AT&T now owns them now as well. This service is way overpriced to have these types of issues. Plus, out of $200 they want to give me a credit of $15. Yeah right.

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

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

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

    Had AT&T service for about twenty. So long they had archived me and could never help if there was a problem. I finally gave up about a year ago and switched to another provider. Both the provider and myself informed AT&T. AT&T kept billing me. Then, when extremely lucky, I was able to make human contact, they would fix it all and refund me any moneys they OWED me. About two months would go by and it would begin again. I now ever get nasty letters indicating they will disconnect my service. Yesterday I had no long distance, and sure enough, moneys was at fault. My new provider reinstated me thankfully. Stay away from this company.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The salesperson told me that the modem can use the exact same coax cable that I currently have the Comcast modem plug in. He even mentioned that he did the installation himself at his house. Of course, when the modem arrive without any cables and with the wrong instruction, I called U-Verse. GUESS what... You need a phone jack. Call U-Verse, cancel everything, and return the equipment. Also, open a formal complaint in case AT&T send me any bills. Again, corporate training? Ignorance? Bad faith? You decide.
