    Where I live in Alabama, the only company that provides internet service is AT&T (for our address) (we could get satellite, but satellite will not do everything we need/want it to do). When we first tried signing up years ago, we were told that AT&T didn't provide service to our address. We were told this for months. During this time, my Brother in law moved in next door (less than a minute walking distance from my house to his). He called and got service set up. For multiple months after my Brother in law was receiving service, we were still told they did not service my address. Eventually, I was able to get in touch with a higher up on the phone and we finally were able to purchase internet service. We have had the slowest DSL speed available since signing up because they said that is all we can get at our address (my Brother in law was receiving a faster speed, like I said, less than a minute walk from my house to his).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I have been with AT&T for over 16 years. We use them for our business internet service as well. We have noticed a continual decline in service in our area and they have admittedly took down two towers in my area. What concerns me most is their complete lack of customer service via their telephone line. Not only do they treat you like an idiot and try to teach you how to use their app while you are on the phone with them calling on any issue but their team has no sense of professionalism. They had reverted to using US call centers but this group of people couldn't be more rude and unconcerned with your issues. To top it off my bills are higher than they've ever been. I cannot upgrade without incurring additional charges. My suggestion is RUN!

    We have 2 services with AT&T, account ** for our home in Aliso Viejo, CA and account **, my other location in Santa Ana. I'm moving my Santa Ana's location so I called AT&T for such move of service as well. Instead of my Santa Ana service they cancelled my home service (in Aliso Viejo). I called them and spend 2 hours with them yesterday (1/11/16) and the representative finally told me my service will be back on in 1 to 2 hours. When I came back home at night and check my internet it was not back again. I called them, and they said, "Sorry the department who can take care of your problem is closed and I don't see any kind of order on your account!!!" It was so frustrating because after all, I didn't have any internet and TV that night.

    I called them next day in the morning (today 01/12/16) and after hours being on the phone their representative Hannah id number ** said, "We can't give you your old service" and she is trying to sell me and charge me more for the same service I had with them. It is really frustrating. They messed up with my account, I'm losing my valuable time & business, NO TV and internet, and she is going to charge me more!!! So annoying, she put me on hold and got someone else for me Chelsea ID**. This time, they are saying that, "If you don't want to pay more and you want us to give your old service back it takes 24 to 48 hours!!!" Such a disaster.

    I arranged to have new service set up in August. It is now January and they have only gotten 1 bill correct this whole time. I have had to call in every month to get my bill corrected and was assured it would be fixed permanently but was not. I have spent hours on the phone with the same issue. My recent call on 01/9/2016 I was told that they could waive the cancellation fee but would charge back the billing adjustments due to the amount of them. When I asked why should I have to pay the adjustment amounts when they were charged to me in error and that was the whole reason they were removed.. She simply said she understands and that's their policy.

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

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

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

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

    I have had so many issues in dealing with AT&T and it is nonstop crappy service. I have contacted them Sat 1/9/15, with 3 people, and again today with say 5 or 6 people, and they kept transferring me from person to person, as when I spoke with a guy Sat. He was to credit our account the $40.00 overage from what we signed up for, then said he would call me back after his lunch break. Who in customer service says that? He never called and I tried calling in the evening and billing was then closed and talked with someone in accts receivable and they said it was a billing issue and gave me till Wed 1/13/15 to talk with the correct dept which is billing. Then I try to call again at 7 and it's closed again so talk with billing online and this conversation is AMAZING TO ME. I was talking with someone for over an hour then 1 person after another was transferring me as to not deal with the issues.

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

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

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

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

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

    Have been using DSL and/or Cable for the last 18 plus years, whether it's Comcast, AT&T, Xfinity, Bell, Pac-Bell, Verizon or any other company, but by far AT&T Uverse takes the cake for providing one of the worst services ever. Tech Support and Service: Complained since day 1 regarding the speed of the internet. Well there is nothing they can do cause the lines to my house do not support the speed I had signed up for. Every time you call, all you hear is "a tech support guy will come over". They exchanged the routers too, but the fools cannot understand that the lines have the issue and not the router. Nevertheless, continues with the service for freaking one full year as I was delayed by 1 day into the first month for cancelling my service.

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

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

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

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

    First time impressions are long lasting impressions and I am so... displeased with your poor technician service, blatant lack of communication and the excessive lies, etc. Awful service, although not as bad as Comcast, but you definitely are right behind them. Five bad apples, chose the best one out of all of the bad ones. A newly livid customer.

    My Uverse modem broke down in Nov 2015 and so AT&T came and installed their "new and improved" router/modem. The router modem cuts off my internet at least 2 times a week and then I have to reboot. I have called att several times and they say (when you finally get through) that it must be my fault... lol. Their new router/modem is crap and there is nothing I can do for the moment. BUT when Comcast comes down a little on their price I will jump ship.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I use streaming Netflix (which is about to offer 4K streaming), heavy games, 4 computers running internet in the house at the same time, and I have been using 60 MBPS for 4 years now (previous city).

There was no charge to move services.

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

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

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

Well after several phone calls and months later my bill was 53.00, which was ok. Service for internet was always unreliable. I finally called in December when they advise me my internet and phone bill would be 93.00. I almost cried, since I live on SS only, and can't afford this 40.00 increase. I talked to A man named Steven on 12/21/15. Also Chris. They told me my bill was what it was and they couldn't help me.

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

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

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

    It took me close to a minute just to get this webpage to pull up with this ISP.. At work we have required videos to watch for our jobs that we simply cannot download. No hope or help in sight, I am literally considering doing without internet as badly as I need it.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    I have been an loyal consumer of AT&T for 15 years. I bundled my home phone, Internet and TV into one package. When AT&T joined their services with DirecTV, customer care service has depleted. I made an arrangement with them to pay my bill on the 18th of this month. I phone them to pay the bill and they said I was a day too late. I have to pay not just that one bill but the complete December bill also. I explained this was a mistake in dates and I do have the money for the past bill. AT&T rejected the payment and turned all my services down. I explained I will have this week's payment next week.

    Signed up for Uverse on 10/31. Rep misled me about the service I was signing up for. Long story short, the bill is over $800 and WiFi and home phone is not included as promised and now both have been disconnected. Spent over 4 hours on the phone being transferred across the world just to be told sorry numerous times, but no real solution to the issues. I'll be looking for other service providers as AT&T is an absolute let down and there is no accountability.

    On Sept, my line U-verse Internet was down. AT&T technician came and fixed my line. There was nothing wrong with my modem; but, technician switched my modem. I was told that I am getting a better modem replacement. He took my old modem away without any acknowledgement that the new modem was for rent--I am starting to get charge for the rental at $7.00+ per month. When I call customer service, I was told that there was nothing they could do. Furthermore, I was told that my would increase to $60 for 24Mbps in December 23.

    When I called AT&T retention dept, they were rude and have no common sense. For the last past 7 years, my rate from AT&T went from $14, $19, $21, $28, $31, and now they wanted to charge me $60 while their new customers are being charge at $25 for 24Mbps. This is becoming nonsense. This rudeness black lady from retention dept put me on hold for 5 mins and then hang up during the process of cancellation and my request to talk to their legal dept. She doesn't seem to care about customer loyalty. Guess what, I am tired of your rudeness service and pricing increase--I am switching to Xfinity at $29 for 25Mbps (regular price offered at $39 and still a lot cheaper than AT&T).

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

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

I called and talked with customer service and for 4 months I was lied to every month, about the charges that increased 30% over a 4 month period. I feel like AT&T stole funds from me.

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

    In three days I talked about 10 people and no real resolution to the problem. I asked for a supervisor and legal personnel several times before getting a supervisor in the right dept. When I asked for corporate or legal dept this was the website provided. Something has to be done. A technician did show today that was very nice gentleman. He finally explains the wire would be buried and they are running behind with this process. He also stated that wires are no longer suppose to be running across the street.

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

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

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

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

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

    Finally, after five months our internet was on for one month, still fighting with their promotion of free installation, price and our monthly rate of 15.00. It's then disconnect in December one month after having it turned on. I fought for another month to have it corrected and turned on again in February 2015 to only have it turned off again in March 2015!! Let's see, two months of service 30.00 total, promotion was for a year? Hmm, I think I paid a total of 60.00 for four months of service doubled what they gave us during the Worse Customer Service Ever!!

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

    I explained to each that I never approved these charges and to please produce a recording or documentation where I agreed to such services. They could never produce evidence that I agreed but still would not credit me any of the charges. My experience with the 7th representative who was a supervisor ended and the woman literally hanging up on me. This was the last straw for me and I will be cancelling my service.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    We decided to switch our Bundle Service from TWC to AT&T Bundle Service. Immediately we experienced an extreme difficulty in communicating with Customer Service we have never experienced before. The agents were extremely difficult to understand, perhaps from another country. Not to mention being given misinformation that not only confused us but made each phone call extend to over an hour plus. And due to the confusion several phone calls were required with

    the same result. Try as we may, our patience was tried to the limit. There seemed to be little concern from the other end of the phone.

    In fact one would think that from a customer's standpoint if you were giving all your business to AT&T from a direct competitor you would at least want to leave a good impression. It's more than apparent that is anything but the case concerning AT&T. Note: We cannot supply our number due to security concerns. Also we have not received a receipt as of yet as we are still waiting for service to be installed which is long overdue which will be included on a separate review.

    Uverse claims I disconnected services. Services were never disconnected. Uverse is claiming that a new service was installed at the same address. No new service installed. I am now getting billed twice for service at the same address with 2 separate account numbers. Being charged an installation fee despite no records of technician installing service. I have received an email from Uverse saying they received the equipment back??? Now being charged for installation fee and new contract. Trying to straighten out for 4 months with NO success.

    UPDATED ON 02/23/2016: I tried calling AT&T Uverse 3 times tonight to find get historical information on billing. The last time I spoke with "customer service" to get information on billing, application of payments, billing for restoral on bill that had already been paid I was told they could not send me anything showing payment history other than statements I have been sent. Could not explain why there was a restoral fee charged.

    I was directed to go to AT&T store for info. Went to ATT store, they said they could not get me information at that particular store, I need to go to service center store (30 miles away). I called Uverse tonight to find store, "customer service" said there was an address I could mail to. Transferred me to accounts receivable, accounts receivable could not explain and said there is no address to mail to. I called back again hoping I could get any kind of answer that matched up with what I had been told before, but no... "customer service" could only tell me what had been applied which is that my bill had indeed been paid. Uverse should NOT BE ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS THIS WAY! How can they be eliminated from marketplace?

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

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

    I ordered the service but after a few days I realized I was not happy with the channels I had so I called to add a few more and the price jumped up $50. The install guy had done a really bad job with installation adding additional boxes to "make it work". So I had bad install and bad service. I called AT&T to cancel and they assured me there would be no charges. A few weeks later, I received a bill for the installation so I called them again and they told me they would take the charges off. This went on for 2 months and 5 phone calls until I received a letter from collection. So I now have to pay $99 or it will be on my credit report.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I asked how long is the cooling period where as I can call back and cancel this service since I will be contacting Xfinity and my local cable here to compare. She indicated that I had 30 days in which to cancel without any penalty.

    Well I got up this morning and tried watching HBO... no HBO. Tried BBC... no BBC... Called back to cancel the service and was informed that it will be a $180 fee... The representative Yolanda then informed me that the previous individual noted the system stating that she informed me of the cancel fee and that HBO was not added or anything of that sort...

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

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

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

I just got off the phone after being hung up by a customer service rep and then called back and was transferred 4 times at least as they didn't know where to transfer me to and still gave me the run around and gave really no help at all. It looks as if they really don't want any more customers even though there are some customers in our neighborhood and I see their truck going to other neighbors. They really have such bad customer service.

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

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

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

    After moving across town, I vowed to kick Time Warner to the curb for good. I refuse to pay for cable tv or any tv now but rely on internet. I used the U-VERSE promotion and after going over the set up costs and bill with several employees (before signing up), what do you think happened? The first bill was $200 higher than we discussed. How can this be? They refused to change it despite citing documented calls with operators. What could I do?

    Fast forward a year, the promotional offer is over and the internet cost is double the price. I bargained with customer service and got them down to a lower rate for the following year. What do you think happened? The next bill reflected a higher rate than we discussed. Not only that, the speed had gotten so bad, the web pages wouldn't load unless I refreshed them 3-5 times.

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

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

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

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

    I signed up for Uverse after talking to an AT&T telemarketer. I was led to believe, maybe I'm just stupid, that my total telephone bill would drop by almost half per month. That got my attention. Well, it did drop substantially. But then, I now receive a monthly bill for the Uverse service. I am netting about $5 per month savings vs the $50 (about) promised. This is my fault, my stupidity, to believe the telemarketer. I have not lost anything and see all this as a little amusing; that is, me getting scammed. The service tech showed on time and did a great job. The service is good so I guess I have gained. This is a no-complaint, complaint.

    Last year I renewed my contract with AT&T for TV and computer. This was handled by phone. It took 4-5 months to get my monthly bill resolved. I was repeatedly told things that were untrue by their employees. Finally my bill was resolved. On 11/9/15, I called for my renewal on upcoming year. I spoke with Miguel who told me he could decrease my bill by $10 per month with same plan because of a promotion. I warned him that I wanted to be certain this was correct because of all the issues of last renewal. He assured me it was.

    On 11/13/15, Brandon phoned to verify how my service was. I told him about last renewal and wanted to be sure recent renewal was handled as promised. In his computer he showed I had spoken with Miguel but it was not handled. Today they called back and I spoke with Marissa who now tells me my new contract is $128 per month plus tax. I have never seen so many employees of any company who give out false information in my life. I am appalled this allowed.

    From the beginning 2014 I ordered Wi-Fi for my new business (55.00 a month) and yes I had a choice to go with charter communications but chose AT&T U Verse. Why? Because I have five accounts with them and my customers use AT&T too. From 2014 my bills went to one of my clients in another location. Also, they were receiving my bills in their name so I changed it I thought but it took months to get that right and they had my mailing address wrong again and I did not have service at my location due to tech had a hard time understanding what his job was after being employed for seven months. Don't give me wrong, I understand totally.

    So second year began. They drafted from my account $130.00 and yes I was told by mail which didn't come to my location so I had no clue? I called customer service hours and finally I decided to disconnect but knew I needed to get my head together before Calling so I waited two days. Ok, let's cancel. So I called 10 different phone numbers for AT&T U Verse and Guess who the third world that has no clue what I'm saying and is really impersonal and doesn't care.

    I am so stressed out I have cried, no for real. I have cried because of hours and hours and hours Trying to get somebody to help me and no one can help me except for A country I can't understand. And yes I'm calling during 9 to 5 eastern time Mon-Friday and so finally it was time to disconnect. I had a lady from the USA, she did a excellent job Talking me out of the disconnect and offered me $200 dollar award card and services for $45 for 3 month thereafter 65.00 a month.

    Going back to the old account (closed) they owed me a big credit which I still haven't see it yet it's been 2 months and in the letter I received said after 10 days I would receive my money. I guess it went to another address too. Checked rewards, she give me 99.00 and charge me an installation fee. My question is for what the guy that walked in here Hannah. I have his phone number. He tell me if I ever had problems going I hope good at myself is the same modem no installation was done in this office. What the heck. I can give you phone numbers, email addresses, and recorded conversations that I had with these guys on my iPad.

    Now, the second person I talked to told me it would cost $10 more and she brought on a technical support person to back up the story. All I told him was "Hey, I don't want to be spending all this money for something. You guys told me it would work." They could not explain why the service or sales person did not know what they were talking about and they could not explain why the first service tech I talk to did not know what he was talking about. All they know is it would cost me $10 more and I'm tired of this. This is a lot of nonsense. Once they get their hooks in you, they always try and sell you more stuff.

This time I get to promotion and the lady told me it was not a lease fee but a "insurance" fee. I told her that "Why am I being charged for insurance on my own equipment when I did not ask for it and you cannot take it off?" She told me that it is like car insurance. Everyone need to have it and if the modem broke they would just replace it. I asked "What is the difference between lease then??" I had enough and cancelled the service.

    After I cancelled the service, I get email telling me to return my modem otherwise they charge me $150. I talked to AT&T Customer relations and they verified that I was not charged for the lease fee then few years later I was charge. However he said that it does not show I bought it the modem, yet he claims he has the receipt in front of him. How can I not be charged initially then charge few years later?

    During our initial installation process of U-verse internet on 25 August 2015, we mentioned to the technician that we originally requested U-verse TV but were informed during sign-up at the Snellville, GA store that this was unavailable leaving us with only 1 choice; DIRECTV. The AT&T technician stated that this was not the case and that we had more than enough bandwidth to deliver both U-verse internet as well as U-verse TV. As such, we should have been given the choice of U-verse TV and not just DIRECTV as our only option at sign-up. Now being informed of this we immediately tried to make the switch from DIRECTV to U-verse TV as we originally asked for, however we were informed that we would be forced to pay a DIRECTV termination charge of $460.00 in order to make the switch to U-verse TV.

    We contacted the Retention Department and spoke to a representative and were offered compensation for the cancellation fee in the form of a $150.00 credit to our U-verse account, a $150.00 VISA reward card in addition to a $100.00 "Closer Coupon Debit Card," whatever that means. We also specifically asked the Retention Department if any additional fees would be billed to recapture the credits; both the representative and her manager said "No." In light of this promised compensation we went ahead and canceled our DIRECTV service and had U-verse TV installed that very same day. Although we received the $150.00 credit, we have never received the remaining compensation as agreed upon by AT&T U-verse. We have attempted on several occasions to contact the Retention Department on 19 October 2015 but were put on hold for over 90 minutes only to be disconnected.

    We spoke on another occasion with their customer support representative, after being on hold for 88 minutes, and explained the matter. We were told someone would get back with us in 2 days; to date we are still waiting for that call. To add further damage, we were charged 3 one time equipment fees totaling $147.00 plus installation fees of $33.00 per month for 3 months totaling $99.00; we were never informed of these charges. As a result of all this we have expended $556.00 in net fees just to have AT&T provide us U-verse TV as we originally requested. Additionally, AT&T hit us with a rate hike from $60.00 to $75.00 per month without any prior notification.

    We are extremely dissatisfied customers with AT&T due to the initiated blunder made by their store employee(s) in Snellville, GA in addition to the undisclosed installation charges and now regret our decision to ever give AT&T U-verse a try. In our opinion AT&T really dropped the ball to acquire our trust and satisfaction as we went from bad Comcast service to horrible AT&T service. We deeply regret ever leaving Comcast; at least they did not burden us with the number of outrageous charges made by AT&T.

    My husband and I just bought our first home together. We got all the carpets cleaned by Stanley steamer who did an amazing job by the way along with the tile in the bathrooms, main reason was we have a baby who just started crawling. We then had AT&T install our two TVs. Steven was our install representative who came to our home. He started with the tv in the master and then came downstairs to install our living room TV. He went outside a couple times and I made the mistake of assuming he had new booties on. Well I was wrong because after he left I noticed dark marks throughout where my carpet had just been cleaned all the way upstairs. It continues with the horrible experience, I was downstairs in the living room with the baby and had a couple boxes I hadn't gotten around to putting away from the love yet.

    Well Steven took it upon himself to look through our boxes looking for our DVR to hook up without even asking where it was first! I stood there shocked and asked, "Ummm excuse me what are you looking for?" Then he told me and I got it for him. He then had our living room hooked up and just ran back up stairs acting like he just owned the place so to speak. I was in the middle of changing my son so couldn't follow him right away and by the time I was done I heard my master bathroom toilet flush and he came running down the stairs. So I had then walked upstairs to double check if this unprofessional piece of ** actually used my bathroom without permission and sure enough he did so running back down the stairs he was heading out my door with his stuff already packed. So I followed him out and asked if he had used my bathroom. He had said, "Ummmm yeah!"

    Super rude as if he did nothing wrong! I was in such shock. I said, "You should have asked first and why would you just go into my bedroom when I have a bathroom downstairs you could've asked to use? I assumed you were working and now I just feel extremely violated in my own home." Like what else was he doing up there when I just thought he was doing his job but instead he was sneaking around in my home ruining my carpet, using my personal space and looking through my belonging. I then filed a claim with AT&T which they go through a separate company for claims. Took a week to hear back from that other company not even the manager had enough balls to call me just to tell me "I'm sorry we spoke with Steven and he is denying any of that." So basically not believing me at all!

    They asked for pictures, I sent them. They asked for an estimate from Stanley steamer to clean the spots, I sent that as well and just decided to brush me off as if I'm nothing. I've had AT&T for cable and Internet for years now and can not believe how my family and I were treated! Good thing we have friends in the news that are going to announce how they treat their customers. So just a heads up if you have a Steven coming to your house for install follow him around every inch of your house because he obviously cannot be trusted with your property and lacks respect along with showing he must of been raised by wild animals. I've never been so upset and disappointed in my life! I've been in customer service for 16 years and never would I treat anyone this way, whatever happened to the customers always right with this "company".

I went online and found a special going on, so I signed up to get U-verse. However it didn't go as smooth as I had hoped. The first appointment, the technician comes out and after surveying my house and it's location said we were too far (6000 feet) to get U-verse. Later that day, I get a phone call saying that a technician would be out to attempt to "bond" the line so we can get U-verse. On the second appointment in the morning, the technician came out and had no idea of the background. When informed, he did a good job getting the outside connections hooked up and ensured that he had a stable signal.

    By this time, it is late afternoon and my wife informs the tech that she has an appointment to go to. The tech said he would clear it with his supervisor to come back the next day. Later that day, I get a phone call from AT&T scheduling, stating that they would like to verify an appointment for the following week. When I informed them of the tech's statement of coming back the next day and shouldn't have to schedule and if the tech didn't show up, I would cancel service. Technician is a no show on the promised day (Wednesday 9am-11am).

I call my wife and she confirms that the tech was a "No Show". I call AT&T and cancel the bundle I wanted due to lack of honesty and customer service. If an AT&T QA rep is reading this, the Account Number ** was mine. AT&T will have to do a lot to earn my trust. It seems the supervisors of techs needs to ensure that the techs can keep their word about getting back to customers. And Scheduling needs to also keep their word and schedule the appointments that they promise.

    I have had AT&T for over a year. The companies tries to get you there with specials. I had to make numerous calls to billing to get the stated price. First of all, every third month, when your 12 months is up it's in small print, on the second or third page of your bill then your bill doubles. You try to get a better price, but can't because you're not a new customer. They want to charge a mint for the same equipment you used all year. This company's service and billing is the worst out of the three cable companies I have dealt with, WOW and TWC. All three companies give a price break for new sign ups, but NOT A THING for RETENTION. They make you jump cable companies for the year offer...

    Well, we are a cheapo married couple and decided to go with AT&T internet as it seems to be the only provider around here. Bottom line is it sucks. I just love constantly seeing the little blinking light going off on the router, meaning the internet is sucking. Our internet package speed is at least supposed to be able to stream, and to be honest it can barely do that. We've had the customer service vans out to the house a few times. They're big on placing orange cones around the vans. DANGER! VAN ALERT! They poke and prod at the little gray box on the side of the house and then walk around in the basement, examining the wires. "Not a problem with the cables/box/router," they say. Must be an issue with the signal coming in "from the station."

    I just don't understand. They have one job. We pay for a certain bandwidth speed and we should get it, but we don't. Probably about 60-70% of the time our internet is being really slow or completely cut out. Usually it's like the speed of dial-up, and we are lucky to be able to even check email. When it does work close to the speed it should, it only does for a little while. Spotty as anything. Sketchy. Bad. Period. Terrible internet. Enough to perturb me on a regular basis. Thanks AT&T for your terrible internet service.

    This all started with an AT&T representative knocked on the door and said he can give better deal for better price of what we have currently. He told us a bunch of lies and made me sign the papers. I signed the papers without reading them every line. MY first mistake and shame on the representative for lying. He said we will be getting triple play with internet, TV and phone. But when the technician arrived on the day, he only installed TV and internet.

    Called AT&T and asked what happened. They said that is what they see in the order, they are right because the phone was not checked in the papers I signed. Well done AT&T representative. I was very angry and after two hours with the Customer Care, finally they offered me a deal with U450, instead of U300 which I initially ordered for three months to try U450 for free and then remove it if I don't like it. Everything is fine until I removed the U450 package online, which I will get to shortly. There were random issues with the service all the time throughout the three-month period. I am not going to complain about the service disruptions a lot because I have bigger issues with the service. There was never a log interruption in service. I will give AT&T that.

    Anyway after I removed U450 online, the discounts on my account got removed. I swear to God it showed me that the discounts were still applicable when it came to the final page of the summary. Too bad I did not take a screenshot of the page where it showed me that the discounts were still applicable after I made the changes. I called AT&T and told them that my bill went from 120 to 250 Dollars. They said "Too bad sir you made a change online and it removed your discounts. Since you made the change we cannot fix it." I wish I had the screenshot of the summary page. If anyone is reading this, you probably are already a victim of AT&T. But if you are planning to make changes to your account online, make sure you make screenshots of the final page and the changes page.

    Anyway after 3 different times calling the Customer Care asking for help and asking for escalation to manager, they keep saying the same thing after hours of waiting and got fed up with the lies from each customer support representative. Finally decided to cancel my service. Now here comes the interesting part. After I decided to cancel I got transferred to the customer relations department and they said he is going to fix everything for me. He seems to get what I was talking about and offered to change my plan back to U300 and get my promotions added for the rest of the year I got left. I asked him one question why was this not done when I called the first time. He said they didn't see my account from the beginning and they should have escalated it to next level. I told him that I am not going to take his offer after all that I have gone through with the customer support crap.

    He did say one thing that I don't have to pay for the cancellation fee since I am paying full price on my current bills and no promotions. I sure believed him and guess what, he was lying too. I got the bill this month and received the cancellation fee of 120 dollars in it. I have to say this, I live in a rural place and there is not many options to choose from in terms of internet and cable here. Of all the ones available, AT&T is the best service. But the service does not come with a good customer service. SO AT&T loses another customer and I am not going to go back to AT&T anytime soon. This is just a short version of the frustration I had to go through with the AT&T customer service reps. I am going to say this for sure - AT&T customer reps lie and I also believe AT&T does not care about that either.

    I called to add a channel (Showtime) and within 24 hours my internet, tv and phone were all down. Had to wait three days to get a technician to my house. He was there for three hours and confirmed that the person who added my service screwed up. But that was after I was on the phone for a total of four hours with technicians and supervisors trying to reboot and retest everything. Everything was finally up and running and I could now get my new channel Neil today. Down again.

    I have been on the phone for 45 minutes with AT&T after being disconnected once and transferred to two departments. I waited for 15 minutes to be transferred to a Supervisor, who asked me the same questions and acted like she was on her first day on the job. My battery to my cell finally went out.

    I have Uverse (U300 + high speed internet) for about 4 years. Everything was ok and it was decent and not the best for sure. Until 4 month ago my internet stopped working and I called like thousands of times. Some agent don't show up and others have no idea what they are doing. My internet have not been working correctly and still so slow and keep disconnecting. I pay 135 dollars a month for a horrific service and I just got a bill saying that "Your promotion expired and now you have to pay 169 a month plus taxes and fees which total will be around 180".

    I called Uverse and I said "What's going on???" I told them to come fix my internet so they hired the bill. The agent literally told me on the phone to go find different company to work with and they rather lose me as a customer. I hang up and called again. Another agent answer the phone after a 20 min. wait so told him that I need to speak with a manager. So he transferred to a manager named Gary and Gary told me the same thing in very nasty and a rude way. I was shocked and disappointed on the low level of customer service. Guess I need to start looking for a new company because Uverse is not anymore on my list and neither do I recommend it to anyone. Bye Uverse.

What a racket. I'm tempted to get phone service back just so I can have some decent Internet service. I live in a rural area without many options, otherwise I would disconnect the DSL also.

Finally got the TV working and then troubles started with the internet. The internet kept dropping and giving messages/errors that the adapter has a broken wire or the battery is going bad. Tried to cure it by troubleshooting online to no avail. I chatted online with someone who finally led me to disconnect internet completely. That was a 20 minute chat. I finally called for technical support. It took that lady 37 minutes to get me back online. Then she was like, "Oh, good we've got you back online. Can I help you with anything else?"

    I'm appalled that AT&T is able to profit from its business with such poor service. A rather nice sales representative came to our door and gave us a great deal for Uverse, promising that, even with HBO and Starz, our monthly price, cheaper than our current subscription to Brighthouse without any movie channels, was locked in for life. So we scheduled the date to have it installed in our home. We received a few confirmation calls and emails throughout the week, in which AT&T verified the date and time, as well as our address. They also informed us that the technician would call us 30 minutes before he would arrive. My wife took a half day off of work in order to be home for the technician, but he never showed up. No call or anything. My wife called AT&T, and the representative told us that the technician left a comment on the paperwork that there was no house located at the address given. This is a downright lie.

    First of all, he never called 30 minutes prior to showing up, as we were promised. Furthermore, I don't know about AT&T's employees, but if I were truly unable to find the house, I would have then called the customer's number to ask him/her for directions. What kind of service employee would just shrug his shoulders upon not finding the house and continue on his way? Given that there was no initial call 30 minutes prior to arrival, and given that the address was correct on our order form, as well as on all the confirmation emails, there is no doubt that they were lying to us. My wife was livid when she was told this by the representative on the phone. They asked if they could reschedule, but my wife explained that she already took time off of work for them to show up and that they needed to come that day, or not at all.

    The representative said that there would be no one available to come on the scheduled day, so we let them know that they just lost a potential customer due to the dishonesty, and the fact that we lost a half-day's pay from taking off of work for these unprofessional sleaze-balls. We called the initial sales representative and informed him of our issue, and he was clearly upset that this had happened. I feel terrible for him as he also would not be paid for a sale he originally made. If I were him, I would seek employment elsewhere. AT&T needs to get its act together and treat its customers with much higher priority.

    From what I'm reading, many current customers are also dissatisfied with the lack of service provided. Though I'm insulted that they would even assume the average customer is stupid enough to believe such blatant lies, I'm also thankful that we got a taste of their dishonesty before installation occurred, most likely avoiding many future headaches with this. If you get offered a great deal for Uverse, decline. If you already have it, cancel immediately and go with Brighthouse.

    I switched from U-Verse over to Charter and I love the charter service. When I switched over I thought my troubles with U-Verse were over but I was wrong. I admit some of it my fault. I got used to things happening automatically. Here's what happened: We had U-Verse for about 2 months before I had to call and have someone come and replace the modem/router. And this happened again the next month. I decided to just cancel the service. I had the home phone service and U-Verse through the same line. I switched to Charter and ported my number. Last time I did this, the company automatically cancelled my service.

    Fast forward 3 months. I moved to a new address. In the process of changing the address I look at the card I used to use to make the payments and see that AT&T has been charging me for the past 4 months. So I call their service center and they said that yes you transferred the number to a new service but you didn't put in an order to cancel to U-Verse. I guess you can use the spotty/weak service without a phone line. Which kind of surprised me but I guess they have some way of doing it. And because you can use the service "through the phone line even though it's being used by another company", they didn't refund me the money. I will admit one service adviser was nice and did refund some of it, but not all of it. Either way, use my example as a warning. Remember to cancel your U-Verse, even if you transfer the service because they will continue to charge you.

Called many times on phone 90+ minutes, no solution.

    I cannot believe AT&T has a terrible customer service. Every time that I have contact them, no one seems to have a clue of what is going on. No help.
