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.

On April 6, 2016 we were sold the new U-verse service from AT&T because the new fiber optic cable had been laid in our area and AT&T DSL was being discontinued. We had to wait one week before the installation in our home was to be done. After the installation the service was not working and after two weeks more, still isn't working. I have made about 10 calls with appointments schedule on April 14 & 15 with no one calling and no one showing up. With further calling over several days, I was finally told the probably has been outside our home, which I understand to mean, the fiber optic cable that was laid.
The DSL service that was working could not be reconnected. I was told they (AT&T) will call when it (U-verse internet) is working. They were not able to tell me when that would be. How can AT&T discontinue a service that works and sell you one that is not. Everyone I spoke to with AT&T were kind and sympathetic but had absolutely no answers. I will be canceling the service today and going with another company. Buyers beware in the Homestead, Florida, Waterstone Development that the AT&T U-verse service is not up and running as solicited. I hope cancellation and credits are not a problem as well.

I have been an AT&T customer for about ten years, and I have been very disappointed in the customer service, especially over the past few years. The company takes advantage of its customers. The bill is incorrect every few months with pop up fees, and the company does not take responsibility; instead, it blames the customer. Recently, as in tonight, I was online paying my bill when I noticed a $7 for HD premium Tier. Now, $7 is not a lot of money; however, when it has been added to your bill over the past few months and if I haven't noticed for many months to come, it adds up. The U450 plan clearly states that HD Premium Tier is included, which is the plan I have. When I tried to explain this to customer service, he did not understand.
Therefore, I copied the information from their own site, which he tried to tell me was incorrect and pretty much insinuated that I doctored the information. Either way, the result was unsatisfactory. Nothing was accomplished except wasting an hour of time trying to explain to their own employees the information I was reading and how they could access it. They are scamming their customers. Run away.

I have been an AT&T customer for well over 10 years. I had my home telephone and DSL internet with them. I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade to Uverse. They came out last Saturday and due to them not being able to get into the neighbor's house to access the telephone box they were not able to do the Uverse installation. I contacted them twice to make sure my home telephone and DSL would not be disconnected. Yesterday, I woke up and I had not home telephone and no internet service.
I called AT&T once again and begged them to restore my service. I told them my father was elderly and ill and that he was used to contacting me on my home phone number which I have had for 27 years. Today, I contacted them once again and they told me that they cannot restore my service. This is totally unforgivable. At this point, I just want to cancel my service! This has been the worse experience of my life. How could such a big company treat their loyal customers of many years this way???

After having Uverse services in my home for 20+ months and having approx 18 techs to my home waiting 80 hrs (4 hr window to arrive) and countless hours to try to repair services I was told Im at the "end of the loop" and I would never have good/consistent services. Now after paying approx $260 monthly Im pretty irritated and contacted AT&T executive offices to get no real resolution. After all my tv lost signal EVERYDAY and at the very least 3xs a day no wifi phone or tv. They did occasionally give a 50 to 100 credit that they made me feel like I was getting over on them!!!
I have had numerous replacement modems dvrs and had home rewired. So they had the loyalty dept call me to talk me into DIRECTV and promised me after I pay 126.21 that's all it would be. This was mar 11 16. I give my card #, said it didnt go thru (was on vacation, suspicious activity). So I give bank acct info, went thru. So it was to be installed mar 24 16. Tech comes out to tell me I need wireless. Another 100 so I tell them no. Contacted the loyalty dept on phone for 3 HOURS to get it squared away. Even called back spoke to super to tell everything would be credited the day of install. So on apr 11 tech came to install to tell me the modification dept said I have to pay 200 for HD boxes!!!
So in the interim I call cc card co to be told they saved my card info and charged me the 14th of april, charged me another 127.28 installation... Keep in mind this was paid 3/11 for them to tell me I got to dispute it. They wouldnt reverse the charges!!! So I canceled the entire deal and now looking to comcast or a firestix, something other than AT&T. Even direct is now owned by AT&T and the fact you pay almost 300 a month god forbid if you have more than 3 tvs because thats all you can watch and I have 6!!! Screwed literally by AT&T, over 5000 on 2 yrs for ** service. Looking into class action suit against AT&T, anybody interested?

Just unbelievable!! I have called everyday for some issue for 22 days! Our bill is still not right and finally got the service of the phone disconnected. Everyone at the call centers either hang up on me or just pass the buck. I have never had so much problems with any bill and service in my life. If you think Comcast was the worse just try AT&T and you will be amazed to a whole another level!!

Ever since I moved to a rural area (6 yrs ago) I have had nothing but problems with AT&T. They are the only ISP in the area so I have no choice. The fastest DSL speed I can get is about 2.85 mbps (they refuse to upgrade the equipment because it isn't "cost effective" for my area). I have constantly emailed the CEO and complained about this but of course nothing is ever done. They continually jerk me around with my bill, ever since they partnered up with DirecTV (the biggest crooks around). I have also had to have a landline because my cell signal is so poor here.
I decided (a week ago) to give Ooma (VoIP) a try so I could eliminate the landline charge and save some money. The Ooma trial was a success! When I called AT&T customer service to ask about canceling the landline, dry loop DSL and porting my number, they informed me that if I did that, it would SLOW my internet speed down. WHAT??? Slower than 2.85 mbps??? I work from home and I can't have a slower speed than I have now AND I doubt Ooma would work with a slower speed. I am basically being held hostage by AT&T because I don't have any other options. AT&T couldn't care less about their customers and if I had my choice, I would NEVER do business with them again. The only way I can sever this business relationship would be to move and that's not likely. Pretty pathetic!

Dan arrived at 9am. At 1 pm he left. I had internet access but no phone lines. He never checked the phone lines and both were without dial tone. It was Saturday and no one at AT&T could find him. Finally they sent someone and he got a dial tone for calling out but now it was impossible to receive calls. They then told me U-verse could not be properly installed but I could not get phone service until Monday because the billing office would not open until then. I received nothing but no phone service!
Do not under any conditions try this service. I have had nothing but aggravation for 8 straight hours on Saturday. Everyone I spoke to (at least 6 people) apologize but do nothing to fix the problems they created. I had to pay to have someone to be at my house too in the late afternoon to let them in and then again on Monday since I cannot be there at their convenience to fix problems they created!!! This has been a nightmare! The incompetence is beyond belief.

I used to recommend AT&T to everyone. I've had U-verse and Max Plus internet service for a few years. I even renewed my contract a couple times. These last couple of months have been a disaster. Customer Service Reps have promised me one thing but did another. I called to cancel my service and was told I could keep my U300 and Max Plus internet that I had last year (same plan/contract) and pay about $20 more. I agreed, but she did not put in place what she promised, she actually put me down to U200 with Max Plus and charged me more.
I called and told them to listen to my conversations with her (which they say they record) and you would hear her make the contract/deal with me. I even repeated it back to her to be clear. A couple hours later when I turned on the TV, I realized I could not longer see Showtime. I called again and no one can see her notes of what she promised or would stand behind the contract she made with me. So now I pay more for less service...make sense? NO.
Then when they wouldn't offer that deal, they also took away my HBO promo I had for 6 months because it wouldn't go along with the U200 plan. They didn't even bother to tell me I would lose it...just took it off. Then they told me I could check back in a month or two and see if there are any additional or better promos that could get applied to my account. But today I contact them to do that and I hear that I am not eligible for any additional promos until March 2017. So disappointed with the customer service and AT&T. I would stay away from AT&T. You cannot offer contracts/deals on the phone to a loyal customer and not follow through.

When I canceled everything, I was informed that my bundle (cable, internet, landline) didn't have enough bandwidth to accommodate a phone even though that was what they sold me. During more than three years that I had Uverse, I was not able to make a single call from my landline and the service technicians didn't know how to fix it. I finally had enough and demanded a refund for services not rendered (after waiting in line for 30 minutes to speak to an operator), they refused, so I cancelled everything and returned their equipment. I don't recall never waiting at least twenty minutes to speak to the live operator and they always demanded the account number even though they could just look it up. This meant that if I didn't have the account number with me because I wasn't at home, I'd have to call them all over again and be put on hold for another thirty minutes.

I called to order Uverse internet. Got told if I signed up for some promo for the internet & home phone I would get it for $52 a month and I would also receive a $200 visa card within 2 weeks, so I said, "Ok, fine sign me up..." They shipped me my modem without informing me their modems require phone jacks, so I called them again after receiving the modem & asked for them to have a tech come out & install a phone jack. I was told they scheduled this and that for the inconvenience I wouldn't be charged the $99 installation fee. Waited the week for a tech to never show up. Called back and they never even scheduled anyone to come out!!! Again they scheduled a tech & promised to waive the installation fee since nothing was noted on my account from the first time. Waited another week and no tech showed up or even called!
Called once again & told them I was ready to cancel and send them back their modem & go with another provider & they assured me that they would have a tech out immediately & again the installation fee would be waived. Waited yet another week for a tech to come out & once again no one showed up!!! Called AGAIN, and still my account showed nothing saying waive installation and they said AGAIN they'd send someone out and waive the fee AGAIN!!! At this point I told them if the tech did not show then I was done & I would be going elsewhere & I'd expect my deposit they required of $100 to be fully refunded IMMEDIATELY! Waited another week & FINALLY a tech came out & installed the phone jack.
Received my first bill and my bill was $128 PLUS they were charging me for the installation!! They took my deposit without my authorization & applied it to my account & took the remaining $28 off of my debit card, and I NEVER received my $200 reward card as I was told I'd get within 2 weeks. Went online to chat with customer service & she said my bill was only $32 a month (clearly she changed it because that is NOT what it said on the paperless bill I received). She fixed it so they refunded the $99 installation fee back to my account (Or so she said since they're good for lying. I'll have to wait and see). And then told me I needed to CALL to ask about my reward card, which when I tried to call an automated thing said I STILL won't receive it for another month!!
AT&T is horrible!! The internet service itself is not bad, the people are TERRIBLE! Oh also the phone number they gave me for my home phone, since the second the tech hooked it up it non-stop rings with people & debt collectors for some other woman, and I'm almost certain AT&T sold my name & number to 3rd parties as I CONSTANTLY have voicemails (as I've had to turn my ringers off due to the high volume calls at all hours day & night) with companies that have my first & last name wanting to sell me their products & services. NEVER in my life have I been so frustrated with a company as I have been with this one! I did not like Comcast because of issues I had with them, but AT&T makes Comcast look like a dream!! I would not recommend AT&T to ANYONE!! Do yourself a favor & move on to another company & save yourself the headaches & hassle as well as from being ripped off, overcharged, & lied to!!!

More than a month ago, I called AT&T Uverse customer service due an error 771 and 775 were popping on TV screen and couldn't get to watch TV. I was told to troubleshoot or they will send a technician which I need to to pay for. Why do I have to pay for it if I did not cause the problem myself? The representative is very rude by the tone of her voice and I don't think this customer service representative have knowledge of retaining customers. Since I told them I'll see what I can do and will call them due I don't want to pay for technician if I did not cause the problem myself. After that call, I did not hear any follow up call or message if they want to retain a customer. I was not able to use the premium channels (TFC/GMA) for more than a month.
Yesterday 4/18/16, my bundle service was installed by another company. Today, 4/19/16, I called AT&T Uverse to cancel my subscription and again I had to face poor customer service treatments. On my 1st call, when I told them to cancel my subscription, I was told that they will call me back in 5 mins - he was nice by the way but after more than 30 mins - no call at all. I expect them to say something and follow through.
On my 2nd call, after answering several questions again, I was transferred to cancellation dept. Great, I finally get to speak to a cancellation agent. I was still talking and asking few more questions and I was being hung up on. On my 3rd call, I called cancellation dept to continue with my questions, and again the customer service rep was also rude by the tone of her voice. She also mentioned that AT&T Uverse was not cancelled by previous customer rep when I asked her to make sure all my services were discontinued as a bundle (TV, internet and phone).
After that, she then transferred my to DirecTV representative to make sure everything is cancelled with the disclosure of cancellation process. The customer rep at the DirecTV end has mentioned that he could have sent a technician to take a look at the connection for free - well it's too late now, they all don't seem to be knowledgeable in retaining customers or maybe they are not aware of reasons why customers leave. A knowledgeable and ethical customer service representative is a must to retain customers.

I missed one payment, and instead of calling me about a missed payment, the way they do about getting me to sign up for new things, they disconnect my service. They call me and say if I pay the past due fees and the new plan fee for this one month, they will give me back a plan close to the plan I had for the last year. So I paid the $300 excessive dollars for a plan that was only $90 a month in to begin with. After paying the $100+ extra, then they tell me that they don't have a plan but only $20 different. WTF, you had me to pay all this extra money for nothing. Telling me no payment would be due until May 15, 2016, but now it's due sooner. After 20 years with AT&T, I closed my account. They are huge liars and I don't want to deal with them anymore. Beware of AT&T.

I talked to a lady named Camilla (excuse me if that's not the spelling). Very rude. I was very upset that I was told one thing on my bill and had another. She was not interested in explaining or listening to a recording for February that was about my bill. Now I commend her on calling me when there was a disconnection. All in all this lady is rude and the billing department needs a change. I also wish I had read this reviews before setting up AT&T services (tv and internet). I will for sure spread the word out on your rudeness and not willing to assist customers. I have all the recordings and what I plan to do is try to get a chance on tv (which I know I will coz I have family that says the news) and expose them.

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.

When I moved and found out AT&T was the only provider in my subdivision I cringed. I had used them yrs ago and they were nothing but problems. Seems like some things never change. My internet is so slow I could probably hand deliver some emails faster than waiting for my service to work. It just shuts down randomly and very occasionally. It really is unusable and I had the fact I am paying for it. AT&T is the worst.

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 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.

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?

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.

AT&T should take a day or two out of their schedule and RE-train ALL REPS because they are clueless!

I signed up for a package deal between AT&T internet and Directv Cable service but I wish I had never heard of them. Once I signed up and the service began AT&T came back and said that they could not offer the service at the price quoted and Directv washed their hands of everything. After a year I had a crazy rate increase from AT&T so they truly finished screwing me. This week AT&T came to the house since the service wasn't working. They came twice and finally decided to change the modem. Now I get my bill and there is an equipment fee charge on there. When I asked them why the old one wasn't charged and the new one is, they explained that it was a new policy. On top of that they will not allow me to use my own equipment. What crooks. Now I find out that they basically do what they want since they have a monopoly on so many states. Utterly ridiculous.

My experience with this has been nothing but frustrating. I signed up for Uverse with AT&T. It stopped multiple times but I dealt with it through restarting and calling 1-2 times per month to have it checked. 6 weeks ago when I canceled my service due to moving to an area that does not have AT&T. I had paid for the next month (automatic withdrawn from my account). I was told I would receive a refund check for the additional amount paid.
You can imagine my surprise when a few weeks later the monthly amount was deducted from my account. I called and was told not only was it not canceled but I was responsible for the amount plus an additional amount telling me I 'hadn't paid in full for the time I had it.' Very upset I decided to take it as a lesson learned and pay the amount and our relationship would be permanently terminated. 2 days ago I received a bill for 138.28 -- after being put on hold for 39 minutes I was told I would be transferred to someone that could help sort this out. I was transfer to a 'call back during business hours message'. Today I called and after being on hold for another 35 minutes immediately asked to speak to a supervisor and was again placed on hold for 26 minutes and the line just hung up. I will try to reach someone tomorrow morning but with my experience so far I would not recommend.

I had nothing but nightmares with AT&T Uverse. They have offered some rewards and a promotional offer for one year for internet and TV and so I took a chance. I had to get on the phone several times to get my rewards amount. They were giving all sort of excuses and finally I got it. There was a time my service was out for a day due to disconnection at the box in my neighborhood by their technician. I had to be on the phone and wait for their technician to come and fix it. I was not compensated for it.
Towards the end of my one year contract, I called them to find out what happens to my bill. They said it will go up significantly. Then I said I'll look into other alternatives and I did find. When I called to cancel my service, they started offering new prices. I told them it is too late and I am not interested their services and I shipped the DVR and modem to them as per their instructions. A few days later, I received a bill with the new rates. I called and explained and the bill was adjusted accordingly and I paid it, assuming I'm done with them.
And here is the interesting and frustrating thing. They sent me another bill for their TV service. I had to call them and explain my connection was disconnected. After my call was transferred three times, and spending half an hour, an account specialist told this is an error on their billing department and didn't know how it happened. I am disgusted with AT&T Uverse staff and would never go back or recommend any of my friends or family to use their service.

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! They will try to nickel and dime you any chance they get... and the excuse will always change as to the nature of the mystery charges on your bill.

I called again 3/16/16, got another rep, went through the whole thing AGAIN, and was on the phone for another 45 minutes. Was told I would receive a call back in 20 to 30 minutes, 3 hours later I got a call and was told it would be approximately the 20th of March before I could MAYBE get my service turned on again.

U-Verse and its Unified Billing Department claims that I signed up for U-Verse on September 5, 2015 at 7AM. I never had signed up for U-Verse, nor received any billing directly from U-Verse. I found out that I was signed up with U-Verse when all of my wireless lines were disconnected. Just like all of you commented, I had spent myriad number of hours getting switched back and forth from representatives. Agent # ** could not solve anything, transferred to his supervisor, which later was transferred to an equipment division. To make the long story short, U-Verse can only cancel the service once the wireless billing balance becomes $0.00. That is not a major issue, but I requested to investigate how I was signed up for U-Verse in the first place, but they had no way of finding it out during the call.
My wireless service had been interrupted by Unified Billing Department twice, when AT&T Wireless division had no issues with my account. The time I spent, and important business calls to be received during the service interruption are extremely frustrating. My advice to all AT&T users is be very careful talking to any AT&T agent, visiting an AT&T store, or when on AT&T website. Always carefully listen and read their disclosed articles. U-Verse and its Unified Billing Department will at some point make your day/days miserable. I am a first time user of posting comments on this site, and would need some of your advices how to report to Consumer Affairs of such matter.

If I knew then what I know now, my wallet would be a bit thicker, I would have all the strands of hair back that I pulled out while dealing with their customer service, and I would be more of a sane person today.

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.

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!

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.

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.

First, I have a login but does not let me anyway. Second, I have the highest package they have! Service is terrible. When Verizon gets to my area I am so over Uverse.

Internet service went down over weekend and had 2 technicians advise me the following day that it had been fixed. On Monday service down again and 3rd technician tells me there was no way it was fixed as it was a line problem that a line technician would need to fix. A line technician was not available until the following day. I called customer service to complain as I work from home and must have the internet. I felt that it was only fair that since I had been told it was fixed, and obviously because of their incompetence, I should receive a credit for lost wages. I requested a $500 credit and was told that the customer service rep was filing a claim for that amount due to lost wages. (I pay AT&T $500 per month in home phone, mobile phone, internet and satellite service).
I have not waited over a month and still have not seen a credit. I contacted AT&T again on Saturday and was told that a supervisor would have to look into the matter and would call me back in 30 minutes. I never received a return phone call. I contacted AT&T again on Monday and am now being told there are no notes in the system about a credit and that they will not be issuing any credit! I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I've been a loyal customer since 2003!!

AT&T is a HORRIBLE company! Signed up for a FREE trial of Uverse and cancelled after two weeks because Dish network kept blowing out every time we tried to download a movie due to the sub-par internet speeds that AT&T assured us would work just fine! (To make matters worse, every tech from Dish AND AT&T, that's right from AT&T, who came out to look at our equipment said this was an ongoing problem that the company was aware of, and that we'd be better off switching to another carrier!!!) AT&T even charged us for the two weeks that we had Uverse because their definition of FREE TRIAL is about as loose as their definition of HIGH-SPEED internet and CUSTOMER SERVICE.

I've had an AT&T landline & U-verse TV internet for 8 years. Every couple of years they suggest I switch over to U-verse phone service. It all sounds great; they'll switch me over & I'll save $15 a month. Problem is, & I always forget this & they never mention it, but the "switching" will require me doing things with equipment on my end. They send me something the size of a car battery I'm supposed to do something with - I'm never sure what. Also, they tell me, unlike my current phone landline, a 3rd party battery backup system is required to make call 911 in an emergency. None of this is mentioned in sales pitch. There's no stinking switch, just the nightmare of trying to hook something up for the first time and jeopardize everything that I have working now just the way I like finally. I'll end up trashing the battery-type thing as they provide no way of returning it which I hate to do as it's so wasteful.
And they never mention if you live in an apt as I do, the whole thing may not work anyway but they do try to keep a list of those places. Great! I don't blame their poor employees who they give no support or training they are victims too. I've come to believe the AT&T big shots hate their employees as much as they hate their customers &, judging from their phone menu system (which is atrocious), they'd like to get rid of us both if they could figure a way to just suck the $ out of our accounts. There's no receipt - they will just change my billing; but I'm cancelling this whole mess first thing in the morning - for 3rd time. I'm in my 70s, they keep misrepresent this "switching" of my landline to U-verse phone service & I keep falling for it.

The online chat for customer support is usually helpful, and the response times are quick. I like having that option when I have an issue to address. Our U-Verse goes out all the time. Sometimes for 5 minutes, sometimes for 2 days. It's so frustrating to pay for something that doesn't work. We aren't getting credits when this happens, and it's impossible to get a timeframe of when to expect it to come back on.
Compared to other cable providers in our area, we do get a lot of channels for the price, and it includes DVR and some On Demand programming. That's a plus. The biggest negative is the spotty service, and the cable going out frequently. Our WiFi is also a bit spotty. Our house is only 1,000 sq. ft., but you can't get service in the bedrooms. The WiFi also only works well in the same room as the router.

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 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 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.

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.

Also, there's no way to set the 4 digit pin online. They suggested that I visit an AT&T store in person with my ID. Are they serious? Also, the security questions set on the account online apparently are totally different than the ones they use when you call. An internet company where you can't reset your security details either over the phone or online. They deserve to go out of business. Unacceptable.

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

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

I have been so very infuriated with AT&T Uverse since I moved to my current apartment. After countless missed appointments for them to install my setup, I had enough. Literally, I missed work at least 7 times to be at home for them to install my cable and internet and they missed the appointment with no call time and time again. There was never any apology or any attempt to make things right in any way. How professional... I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, because they then gave me an AT&T rep that I could utilize and reach out to when I had questions or concerns. That was a big load of crap, because I've reached out to him for 4 months trying to make adjustments to my account and he hasn't returned one of my phone calls. I was then set up with another rep who directed me to their customer service center where no one speaks a lick of English, and they don't know what they are talking about. Clueless.
So I reached back out to this rep and he again directed me to this crap customer center line that couldn't help me before and said they were the only ones who could help me. He then informed me of how simple they would make the process for adjusting my account. I am currently on hold, and have been on this call for the last 2 to 3 hours. I have been transferred at least 5 times and no one seems to have a clue how to do anything related to the AT&T service; they simply ask you if there is anything else they can do. "Yes, you can do so and so, and okay sir, I will transfer your call to someone who can help you with that. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Kidding me? All I'm trying to do is cancel their crap cable service and keep my internet.
I used to live in Greenville, NC where Suddenlink runs the monopoly. We all thought they were bad but they are saints compared to the Uverse idiots. Service is overcharged and good luck getting a technician in the case that you experience trouble. AT&T Uverse is the Kmart of Brooks Brothers. They don't try too hard to retain customers either. When I told them I wanted to cancel my cable because it is so vastly overcharged, they told me they would give me $5 off if I committed to 2 years. I thought this was a funny joke.

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

I have been a customer of AT&T for several years, and I have to say, I can't believe I'm paying $50 a month for this **. For God's sake, I'm lucky if I can go 30 minutes straight without my Internet breaking. A paraplegic man could finish running a mile before I can load up Google. No, that wasn't an exaggeration, I timed it myself. When I signed up for this service, I was getting about 30mbps, but now I have no idea because speedtest takes like 12 hours to finish. It's gotten to the point where I have been restricted from virtually all online activities (I'm writing this review using my company's WiFi). I have to play Minesweeper and Solitaire instead of DoTA and TF2, have to get off to Victoria's Secret magazines instead of Pornhub, have to watch recorded cassette tapes instead of Netflix streams.
What's worse, customer support was utterly unhelpful. This one lady thought that megabits and megabytes were the same thing! Like, come the ** on, you're making the I.T. people cry, including myself. She ignored my calling her out, then proceeded to offer me an "upgrade" to the Platinum plan (31mbps for $70 a month instead of 30 for $50) which I refused for obvious reasons. I then hung up and contemplated my choices, and as of now I am planning to cancel this god-awful service.

I have had AT&T service as long as I have had internet in my home... probably close to twenty years. In the last two years, this service has hit an all time low. Actually, since I bought the modem/router from AT&T, my service has sucked. I have constant problems of extremely slow and intermittent connections, even with all the green lights blinking, in all their glory. I call tech support frequently. Technicians come about once every two or three months. I, too, told them I thought it was a modem issue but was assured it was not. They sure didn't offer to try a new one. I am not going to pour another $100 into something unless I know it will work.
The techs come, the service is decent, then within days, it sucks again. The last tech support person told me that everything was good from their side and this is the service I paid for. REALLY? I teach school and HAVE to do work at night. Sometimes I can, and sometimes I can't. I have ended up using my phone's hotspot when things get bad. If I had ANY other option, I would go with someone else; however, I live out in the country and am a bit limited on options. I also mentioned that I should be credited for ALL THE TIME that the service hasn't worked, but that didn't go over well. I would definitely tell anyone to NOT use this service. Ever. I would LOVE to share my experiences with anyone. Call me! Just don't email!

Where to begin? Spent at least 12 hours on the phone and two complete weekends waiting on installers to switch from AT&T to DirecTV. AT&T couldn't figure out what they were doing. They set it up and we waited, no one showed. We called, they rescheduled, we waited, no one came. They told us they don't send people out to install at that time and THEY set it up. Spent 3 hours on phone that night, cancelled it. Called back to set it up, said it was a go. Following Saturday installer showed up and stayed at our house 2 1/2 hours and couldn't install because his orders were wrong. Set it up for next day. They installed, finally.
I called the next day to make sure I wasn't paying for two services, waited on the phone 30 minutes after getting cut off once, finally had to go to work. Called back that night and they said they would make sure we wouldn't be billed for Uverse. Received bill yesterday for the next month of Uverse service, even though I called to cancel it twice. Noticed a new charge on bill too for internet equipment fee. She could only explain that since I switched to DirecTV that it changed my plan. There was NO mention of changing internet. Rep told me they told me that over the phone when we switched over to Direct. I WOULD have noticed them, saying, "By the way, you'll pay an extra charge for your internet because you're changing your tv service" because, DUH, I'm changing my TV service, not my internet. So they sneak stuff like that in and when you ask to speak to somebody else about it, she mumbled something about it being corporate, bull!
They can change my plan, when I have a contract, but I cannot. So they can charge extra fees on my other services if they convince me to switch. Pretty shady. The bill is so confusing, and the prorated fees, equipment fees and surcharges, that you don't even know what is what. They tell you one promotion runs out but they'll look for another one, only to add something that you pay even more for in the long run. They say it so fast and without being able to explain it, that I cannot trust them. Now I am really stuck with a two year contract for DirecTV and who knows what for internet. I'm not even going to get started on my Wireless stuff!!

In 5-2015 my internet service wasn't working. AT&T tech was very nice and tried to fix online and I was talked into getting Uverse because it was suppose to be better. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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).

At the fourth time they came they connected internet (3 weeks without Internet) and we were not happy with the speed. We couldn't access our apps on our TV. We called AT&T to cancel service within 3 days of connection. My husband returned the equipment the next day and we were told there will be no charge.
Month later we got a bill for collection. My husband call AT&T and was told it was an error and that they would take care of it. 3 months later we received another bill for collection. My husband called corporate and he was told that there was a division called presidents office, which is in charge of taking care of customer service mistakes. In addition to all this mess, we were treated with no respect by customer service. They hung up on us several times. They made fun of us in one occasion by lying to us about our situation (we could hear the laughter on the background). Called corporate but couldn't find the people that did this to us. NEVER TRY AT&T. You will regret it!!!

I called AT&T U-verse to get help for my t.v. and my Internet service and the rude bumble-head cut off my services for NO REASON. Then he made it impossible for me to have our internet "chat" sent to my email address. It took me 2 hours to clean up his mess.

Be very careful if you sign up with this internet and cable provider. I was unaware that when my promotional rate expired, my internet/cable rates went to $180.00/month. This is for basic cable for 2 televisions, no premium channels and high-speed internet access. I called their customer retention department, and after being put on hold for almost one hour, I was informed that I have no recourse whatsoever. As soon as I can find another service, I am switching. These guys are total crooks. Unbelievable.

Everyday, multiple times a day when I'm utilizing my DVR, my shows constantly freeze and then I get a message saying that playback is unavailable because I have no network connection. 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??? WHO IS IN CHARGE???

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.
