About AT&T Internet

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

    Classic bait and switch. Outsource salesman that could barely speak English. Every time I said "no", he gave me a cheaper price. Very confusing on the explanation of pricing.

    I have had Uverse for 3 weeks. There is nothing that has gone right. The technician, who seemed very nice, forgot to connect my wireless printer. We have had problems ever since. One of the remotes he gave me does not work. They promised to send a new remote, they never did. The next time I heard from them was when they sent me a bill. It was wrong. They charged me for installation. Installation was supposed to be free. They said the charge was not for installation, but connection. There was never a mention of such a charge. They did remove the charge. I told them I did not want premium channels even for the first free 3 months, because I did not want to remember to call and cancel them. They charged me for premium channels and then gave me a credit for the premium channels. I told them I did not want it handled this way. We will see on the next bill.

    Within the next few days the service went out twice and had to be rebooted. After two weeks my picture began to pixelate badly. I called, they rebooted. An hour later it happened again. They rebooted again. Two days later the pixelation started again. After much conversation they schedule a service call between 8:30 and 12:30. They did not show. I called. I was given a confirmation number. I stayed on the phone I finally talked to an agent who said for some reason the confirmation did not result in a work order. They will be out between 4 PM and 8 PM. We'll see. Each phone call was a minimum for 45 minutes with going through menus and robots in order to speak to someone.

    I own a home business. I received a call from AT&T telling me that I had to sign up with the new deal they had for AT&T Uverse. They explained they were going digital. I told them I wasn't interested. They continued to tell me that I had no choice but to do this. I asked if every single AT&T business had to do this and they said yes. I was skeptic about it. They continued to tell me that I had no choice in the matter. I told them to send me the paperwork to look over and that this wasn't in way shape or form an acknowledgement of me agreeing to this service.

    They sent the papers which were looked over and there was no way I was doing this. I have great service already. They called me back and said a technician would be coming tomorrow. I told them no way and they told me I agreed to it. I never signed the paperwork or sent it to them so how could I sign up for it. They said they had my voice agreeing to it. I asked them to prove it and they hung up. This is a scam. AT&T used to be a trustworthy business, I have my doubts now.

    Switched from DISH and Xfinity to AT&T U-verse including Internet. In about 2 months, had outages from 10 to 15 hours each. Now, when the outages occur, I have no telephone service, TV or Internet. Two technicians have come out but never seem to figure out the problem. Keep having pixelated on the screen day after day. I am cancelling this service as soon as the year term expires.

    I got my bill last month and realized that I was overcharged 50.99 on the Directv portion of my bill. Called AT&T since they handle the billing when you are bundled. Was bounced around till I was put with someone who was willing to fix my bill. He credited me the money back saying, "No problem, don't pay that portion of the bill." I did as I was instructed paying all but that portion of the bill. Only to now get a shutoff notice over that portion of the bill. So I called customer service back got bounced around like a ball then got a very nice woman in the ace department of the DirecTV who looked over the bill found the problems and admitted that the credit I was to get from them wasn't handled correctly nor was I instructed correctly.

    So she contacted the collections department letting them know that my bill was mishandled on their end and that the credits were there (which would have put my bill paid). She said that I still have to pay the amount that I was told not to pay due to a credit regardless because it's not visible to them yet or my services will be interrupted Tuesday. Honestly if they are going to bundle and handle all the billing they need to get on one page. I am disabled and have limited income so coming up with over 50 dollars without notice and quick is just flat out bull.

    Upgraded to 12Mbps internet plan w/ AT&T. After doing countless speed tests, I was averaging about 0.8Mbps download and 0.04Mbps upload.

    The worst customer service of all time. Never received my gift card. Called about this and they said the time had passed to get it and that they sent a notice in the mail to get it. Never happened. End of the year promotion came up and they started charging me $183 a month instead of the $105 I was paying. No notice at all that this was happening. I had to pay one month of that and then they said they would credit me $120 on the next month's bill after I canceled my cable to cover the cable charges on the next bill because they charge a month in advance. Never got the credit. Called them 10x in a 2 week span to get this straightened out and it never happened. They continued to charge me for cable and internet even though I no longer had cable. Every time you call in you get a new person and re explain this situation and every time the same thing happens. NOTHING! AT&T sucks and I recommend never getting involved with them.

    This is the worse company I've ever dealt with in my entire life. I attempted to move my service across town. I was told it would take a week to ten days. I was fine with that. Ten days went by and still no service. I was told it would be another 48 hours. 48 hours later and still no service. Then I was told it would in fact be Friday. We shall see if I get service. In between all the waiting, I've been hung up at least twice, told I wasn't allowed to speak to supervisor, called a **, told service wasn't available, and informed that my issue wasn't important enough for them to care if I cancelled my service.

    AT&T you are truly awful. Perhaps one of the worst companies in America. My suggestion would be to all you would be consumers out there, go with a different company if you could. I'd have cancelled if I had any other options for service. I'll continue to pray that Verizon develops an Internet service since I have them for my cell phones and they've always acted like they cared about my business.

    Do yourself a favor and NEVER consider AT&T. EVER. Your bill will be AT LEAST double what they tell you. You will spend HOURS on the phone trying to sort things out. They will be SO kind and "willing" to work with you, but NOTHING will ever change. Honestly, ATT is the most frustrating people/business I have ever had to deal with. I cancelled everything because I would rather be cut off from the world than have to spend hours every month dealing with ATT.

Two weeks later I received another bill for 83.00. Then two more weeks after that I received another bill for 75.00. I have spoke to several customer services agent that can only tell me that tax is what ran the bill up. Then I was told AT&T charges are more like Comcast (where they charge two months in advance).

    I only have AT&T because it is the only option at my apartment. I pay much more for internet that is slower than the competitors (the listed max speed is slower in my area... We pay 40$ for 18mbs, but we usually only get 6mbs). In addition, the internet is highly unreliable. I'm submitting this review from my phone because the internet and cable is out for the entire apartment complex and AT&T can't give a reason. They just keep saying "it is likely to be fixed in the next 24 hours". I pay far too much for false advertising of internet speeds and unreliable internet.

    I signed up for Uverse several weeks ago. After several episodes of poor customer service and delayed installs over the next 2 weeks, a manager offered me first month free service. They assured me that everything was very well documented and that there wouldn't be any problems. I received my first bill and there was no discount. I called billing and discussed the situation. They first said there was nothing documented in the system regarding the credit. After talking to a very rude rep, I talked to a "manager" who was not a very good one. He finally admitted that it was in my record that they said they would credit my account for one months service, however it was clear that he was not interested in helping or take care of what was previously honored.

    Then I said that I was just going to cancel and he told me then I would have to pay early termination fees, however I said that I was in the 30-day money back guarantee that they offered when they set me up with the system. He basically said that would not apply to me. So it appears they offered me a months free to keep me from just going with another company since there was such poor customer service and follow-up, however never intended to give me that credit after they locked me in. And they obviously know their 30-day money back guarantee is a load of crap also. Further, this company shows no integrity or honesty, and it is clear their call center is outsourced because I could never understand the customer service rep or managers well. Nothing but people that lie to you and want to cheat you! Buyer beware.

    From the beginning this was horrible. The tech that came to install the services was flirting and even called me to ask me out on a date. He had my info from the install/order conf. I told him it was inappropriate. I set my bill to auto pay. I had service for a year. Once I moved I ended services. AT&T charged my account $159 which was my monthly charge. I told them it was set to auto pay but I no longer have service and I didn't owe anything. They looked in the account, apologized and said they would rectify this. Then 2 weeks later I called and they said I owed the $159 for equipment. What? I had pictures of all the equipment given to me and I sent it all back. How is my monthly charge the exact same price as one piece of equipment!? Did your flirty inappropriate tech make a mistake.

    It was a fake charge so they refused to refund my money. They sent the debt to collections and I wrote letters to fight it and get it off my account. They recently sent it to a new debt collector. I'm not going to pay $159 when I don't owe it! I was a great customer that was set to auto-pay. You are making things difficult, sending a great customer to a debt collector when I don't owe anything. I would not recommend AT&T Uverse who has horrible customer service and the cable and internet service goes out constantly.

    I have had my AT&T U-verse account for about a year. In July I wanted to eliminate some equipment as I no longer needed it. I call customer service and they directed me to the UPS store where they have an account for returns. The rep said that when they scan the equipment it would immediately log it as returned and stop charging my account. This has not happened. Also, I've paid my bills in full and they continue charge me late fees and shut off fees two months later. I called customer service many times and keep getting the runaround. I've asked for paper bills for a few months and only got the first one this month. I have ask them to send me the bills for the last 3 months so that I can see what the charges are and cannot get them to send them. I do not understand how they get away with this since 100's of people have complained.

    We wish we never switched to AT&T. This is my first time writing a review for anything. I am a patient man in regards to problems. However I have reached my limit with this company. We have had problems ever since we switched from Wave broadband two years ago. We have had so many problems with the signal to our TV that we just deal with it. We are used to watching a movie only to have the signal drop so many times throughout a movie. We are very tired of contacting AT&T about TV, internet problems that I don't even want to call anymore as it takes so long and the issues never stop.

    I believe that there must be a issue with their lines that they won't be responsible for. Maybe because of cost, I don't know. We are extremely dissatisfied with this company. If you're thinking about switching to AT&T, don't waste your money & more importantly your time. I chalk them up to the worst experience I have had with any provider. HANDS DOWN!!!!

    I have had Uverse for 8 months. The outages continue for hours at a time consistently, the same as broadband which they say they are discontinuing. Only now, when the outages occur, I have no telephone service. Could it be AT&T is more concerned with stock price, than the satisfied customer base (paying customers) their stock price should reflect? They should invest in technicians, and infrastructure improvement, instead of getting into the satellite business (read DirecTV). I am cancelling this service as soon as the "special" term expires. I also cancelled AT&T cellular 5 years ago for the same reason, and have never regretted it.

    ATT funnels traffic through a peering partner called Cogentco. Every evening after 8 pm I cannot access my web hosting company's website or any of the websites that I have hosted there. ATT routes my through Cogentco and it stalls there. With our new net neutrality laws, I think what they are doing is illegal. I like to work at night, but I can't. Last night there was a security issue with one of my websites that I could not address till this morning. It is likely that ATT has a paid relationship with Cogentco. They should be able to fix the issue. Today they told me that I would have to pay for premium support to resolve the issue. Long story short, I filed an FCC complaint and a BBB complaint. I hope you all will file complaints with the FCC. If they get inundated with ATT complaints maybe they will do something.

    My less than poor experience started when I contacted AT&T on 04/17/15 to disconnect my services for Uverse. As a compromise, I allowed an agent to talk me into a promotional deal with DirecTV for 59.00 a month plus applicable taxes. They were merging with AT&T. I paid the enrollment fee that day over the phone and thought everything would be fine. Well it was not. For the next 3 months I was double charged by for the UVerse and DirecTV and disconnected each month even after repeated calls to advise something is not right.

    I was receiving collection calls daily. Mid June I finally after being on the phone for over 45 got someone who I thought was really assisting as she clearly saw what was going on with my account and was not just trying to collect. Advise me that my account would be corrected and presumably gave me credits on the account to balance out my bill correctly. Well I was on my cell phone and the call dropped. I was unable to get back to this agent at the time (but I do have her name). 2 weeks later I get another call from AT&T collections as this agent did not follow through as promise. I immediately proceeded to contact her via other AT&T channels and was able to reach her and I was again promise credit on for 114.00 to square the account.

    This again did not happen and I was disconnected one again. I called again in August to try and rectify this situation as I was still being billed incorrectly now for different reasons only be told by AT&T agent that "we can't make change. I have to connect you over to DirecTV for them to make changes." I thought you were the same company? Anyway I reached an agent on the other who was nice and polite and researched the errors on my account and found that I was being overcharged and explained why. I understand.

    This agent (whose Employee ID and name I have) advised that she would make the necessary updates and send yet another credit for the back months that I was overcharged. This amount equaled to 105.00. This did not happen, so I did not pay the over inflated bill on the amount it should have been, and was disconnected once again. Each time this has occurred AT&T has tacked on disconnect/reconnect fees even though these incidents where their errors. Now I have been Permanently disconnected and additional fees added. I am seeking legal advice at this point.

    I called AT&T Uverse to lower my bill due to a loss of my recent job. I wanted to remove the phone line and keep the existing TV and Internet service. Their website was advertising a promotion for TV and Internet of $60 per month. When I called and asked to be switched to the promotion they told me it was only available to new customers. So much for retaining existing customers. This was after I was transferred to three different departments. They were about to give me the new rate to keep internet and TV when I was disconnected. I called back and was told if I wanted to remove the phone, while keeping internet and TV it would raise my bill to an additional $89.00. Apparently, the 10x I already called and explained I needed to lower my bill wasn't getting through.

    I asked to speak with a manager in customer loyalty department and was told that there was no manager available, but to call back the original number I had dialed. I called back and was given to the billing department who advised me that I could have the TV and Internet without the phone for $70.00 per month. This was after I threatened to switch to Cox who had internet and TV for $70.00 per month. She then transferred me back to loyalty department and wouldn't you know it, I was disconnected again!

    Long story short, I spent two hours on the phone with Uverse, getting transferred between departments, disconnected when I asked for a supervisor. Each time you call back you will get a different response, no one knows what they are doing there. I still have no resolution. Don't use AT&T Uverse! Horrible customer service, they are extremely manipulative. I'm so frustrated I plan on canceling my account.

    So I had been a customer of AT&T's for almost seven years. We started with them when we bought our house in 2008. Every year like clockwork I would have to call and argue/beg for them to give me a promotional "deal" and they would eventually relent and act like it was a huge favor to me to do so. Well after many years of this I finally reached the breaking point and said enough. I called and was transferred around until I reached the customer "loyalty" department. I explained that I did not believe that paying $190 a month was a reasonable price for home internet and cable. I had been paying $140 a month.

    I had shopped around before calling and found that even through their company I could start as a new customer for $90 a month. I told the "loyalty" service representative that I didn't understand how as a customer I am supposed to think that paying even $140 a month was OK when a new, off the street customer could get the exact same services for $50 a month less. He told me that's just how it is, that's how they get new customers. I loved the service but unfortunately they don't love their customers enough to keep a long time, never missed a payment in seven years customer with them. In all I know that they all do this, but I will never understand why as a company they wouldn't want to keep loyal customer that pay on time and never miss payments over taking a new customer that has no proven history/loyalty with the company.

    I have had horrible equipment quality and service from AT&T Uverse over the past many years. I was one of the first on my block to migrate to their new service under a 30/30/30 plan and it worked great for about a year or so. Then their volumes increased so much there were constant outages, frozen TV reception, lost internet and landline phone service, etc. Worst of all, the gateways were going bad - in less than a year or so and I went through at least 5 gateways over the past 4 years or so. Each time it was a hassle to get someone out - be available for the service call - and not be charged their threatening $99 to show up at your front door. Every time it was their faulty and poorly remanufactured equipment. I eventually dropped the land line, then the TV (all selling channels) leaving me with Internet only.

    The last gateway failure occurred on schedule - in less than a year after receipt for which I spent at least 5 hours on the phone fighting with tech support (in India) who - on my best day - could not understand - but from whom I got a replacement gateway mailed to my house so I could install it myself. Great - I don't even get a service call anymore. I got to do my own installation to save them money - even though my bill kept going up more than once a year. Having done the installation, I placed the old gateway in the box for which I received the new gateway - perfect fit - and used the instructions and labels they provide to prep it for return shipment.

    I spent the next day driving to the UPS store (another hour of my time) to send it back. I was told all was fine and was handed a couple of sheets of paper with order and tracking info on it. Two months went by and I did not hear anything at all so I cleaned out some things and threw out the paperwork. After all - it was more than 8 weeks and I had heard nothing from AT&T.

    This month's bill charged me $150 for non-return of the gateway and I have spent more than 5 hours on the phone - on hold and in chat sessions (I wasn't very nice) telling them I did not have a tracking number as they told me there was no record of ever receiving the gateway. Really?? Just how long do you wait to decide to tell the customer?? I mailed it back within 24 hours of getting my new one and after two months no longer have the printed receipt from the UPS store. UPS informed me the month I shipped it back was the first month AT&T used the self-shipping self-install method and they weren't sure how to process the packages at first. Great - now I get to be in the middle of a learning curve for $150.

    AT&T - I DO NOT HAVE YOUR GATEWAY. I SHIPPED IT BACK TO YOU AND YOUR RECEIVING PERSONNEL SCREWED UP! I will not pay a $150 ransom on equipment I already gave you!! Folks - Please do not ever use AT&T Uverse. They are as bad - or worse than all the others. Over 5 hours of chat sessions (where I was very angry) have not resolved anything except their threat to collect their $150 for junk equipment.

    BEWARE 'EARLY' CANCELLATION FEE. After 30 days of service, you may be charged a fee to cancel Uverse. My fee was $180. I assume blame for not realizing I was contractually tethered to this abysmal service, but let's do some quick math. I cancelled my service after 2 months. I was informed that I received a $120 package for $75 per month (never mind that my actual bill was $159.15 per mo). Even assuming their ridiculous monthly 'savings' was remotely accurate, they allegedly saved me $90. Why am I giving them an additional $90 to remove Uverse? Because I signed a contract, and that trumps all common sense or fairness. I seriously wish I had known about this site beforehand, would've saved me headache and $.

    I made arrangements to pay $64.00 for my cable services. I had issues with my Internet because I needed it for work and ATT could not give me the speed that I needed. This is a long story so to make it short I was lied to. I am on a budget and they are charging me $120. I asked if I could get out of it and they said "no", I am under contract. So you got me stuck. I can't pay this bill and I can't get out of it because of a contract. Something is wrong. You all are crooks. They bind you to a contract and when you tell them that they lied and want to get out of it they do not allow it and report it to the credit bureau. I need someone to help me. How can I get out of this situation with ATT?

    Two years ago, I was notified that the DSL service I currently had, was no longer an option with AT&T and I would be switched to Uverse. After two years of paying for this service, and two years of slow downloading times, a tech told me that my home is too far away from the line, and the speeds I have are barely dial-up. Seems like I've been paying monthly for a service that the provider knows doesn't exist in my area. Sounds like something isn't right.

    Switched from the other boys (we'll just say starts with a x) and went with AT&T Internet then U-verse. The first 3 weeks were terrible. Had 3 technicians came out and never seemed to figure out the problem. Kept having pixelated on the screen day after day. Called several times. Finally they sent out someone who know what they needed to have done. Found the problem - old lines in my area and cleared it up. Even gave me a 75.00 port to plug into to help at no extra charge! Finally, I've been satisfied for the last few months, even though at times the internet is far from those other boys. Good luck with your choice.

    When we signed up for AT&T's DSL service over 10 years ago, it had just became available in our area at that time and it worked great. Now the connection works about as well as dial-up did before the DSL service became available. We're only getting about half of the speed we pay for. We have to keep calling in for special rates, discounts, and/or refunds. To top things off, we found out that their broadband service is only about 2 miles in either direction from our neighborhood and they won't move it any closer. Unfortunately, there's no other internet services available in my area.

    Since I moved to a new apartment where AT&T DSL was the only choice, I got the highest 6 Mbps DSL connection. I never got a speed of 3 Mbps consistently. When I got the new connection, I was not informed about the additional charges. The first month bill came with a heart attack. I was charged $255. When I asked them, they said it was for the modem and other charges. I was expecting a bill of $50 - $60. Then the next 2 months bill was $57 and $58. But again 3rd month they gave me a shock with a bill of $80. When asked, I was told that I have been charged for additional internet usage. I have never heard from a service provider in the past 3 years where I was charged for additional home internet usage. This was ridiculous. Now I have cancelled the connection and I have an useless modem with me. I will never recommend AT&T to anyone.

    I have had DSL 6 meg service with said carrier for approximately 1 year now and for the most part I have been okay with the actual service connection (horrible customer service). Over the past 3-4 months I noticed the periodic drop in connection, whether it being wireless or not (ethernet). The disruption lasted no more than 5 mins at any given time and it was more sporadic, also the reconnection would be automatic. Of course, this became too much along with the terrible customer service and the $57 monthly. I finally decided to cancel my service giving my cut off date 3 weeks out (end of billing period).

    Since the day I notified AT&T of my upcoming departure the connection could not have gotten any worse. Every hour I must unplug the modem to reestablish connection, whenever the connection drops I will not reconnect, the signal in my house is suddenly so low I am now unable to stream movies (streaming movies was usually a daily pleasure) and when it goes down there is 60/40 it will reconnect when I unplug the modem and the internet now goes down for hours... average 6 hours. But this issue has moved from sporadic to consistent and from minutes to hours as much as 2 days. REALLY, something is definitely UP...

    If I could have rated this company a 0, I would have. I have had AT&T for 2 home landlines - 1 office landline, fax, Uverse TV, Uverse Internet and 2 cell phones for years. A month ago, I moved and cancelled 1 home landline, the office line, and TV - I installed internet at my new residence. I asked to port my landline to a go phone - that process started on 6/22. I have pages of documentation of my efforts. I spent countless hours on this - finally got it resolved mid-August. The service was not only atrocious, but no one knew what to do - the things I was told by one person were contradictory what someone else told me to do.

    After my move, my cell phone died. I went to an AT&T store to replace it. Within a week, the screen cracked - I didn't drop it. It was sitting on my counter and I watched it crack. AT&T basically said... "oh well". I ended up at a Samsung repair facility and they fixed it at no charge - excellent service. I travel a lot for business and have had lots of problems with the phone - it won't turn off sometimes, and it doesn't respond to touch at times. I called today to see what my options were and was told I had none. I could pay close to $800 for the phone and cancel my service. This is unbelievable to me. I am so tired of calling AT&T. If my employer knew how much time I have spending on this, I would probably not be able to keep my job. The phone that I have is a Samsung Note 5 and there are many problems with the phone.

    Signed up for U-Verse internet and phone almost a year ago. My internet has not been reliable for some time now. It's down for several hours at a time and won't come up until late in the afternoon or evening. I've tried every way that I could think of myself such as buying a new power cord but that wasn't the problem because I used the old one somewhere else and it's fine.

    Recently, I called AT&T U-Verse and said that I wanted to cancel because my year will expire this October the 9th. Well, guess what! Now my internet is up any time that I want it to be... morning, noon, or night! Look what happened just by saying that I wanted to cancel! Is this some sort of a scam or what?

    This service is unreliable. Our internet drops several times, daily. Often, there are times when I am the only person at home trying to watch Netflix with their "fast" internet and cannot watch a whole movie w/out a streaming issue (The streaming issues are worse for Vudu & Amazon.). We have trouble with both TV & internet stopping, daily. The unreliable internet makes it hard to run a small business. We have the best plan they offer and that plan is still crap. We filed a complaint with the FCC against At&t for failure to deliver the internet speeds for which we are paying. In response, bigwigs have sent us letters and have tried to call us. Why?

    There is no need to call us or send us letters, just give us the speeds for which we pay. In the real world, when a company asks you for money for a service and doesn't deliver, that company is running a scam. I suggest that everyone with the aforementioned issues first, file a complaint with the FCC. At&t is large enough to make sure that customers are serviced appropriately and if they cannot do that, maybe they should get out of the TV and internet business. They are too busy trying to throttle internet speeds that they cannot even deliver the service for which you pay. I wish we lived in a Fiberhood, where we could just get the internet, fast without any foolishness and for a fair price.

    Joining AT&T this month was the worst thing that happened to me. After calling AT&T to inquire about their internet, I finally decided to give them a try. Let me make the long story short. After all the calls for weeks and unnecessary headaches, the internet was installed. Few days ago I received a bill that said $71 when I was told my monthly bill will be $37. I called them, just to be told that the $33 was number one of 3 payments I have to pay for their installation.

    I asked what installation? Just to be told they charge $99. I said how come I was not told about the fee until today. The guy said "I don't know but you have to pay." I said "you guys should have told me about the fee the first day so I was going to decide if I could afford it or not or go with another provider." I told them that they are forcing the fee on me. I asked to talk to the supervisor, he told me it doesn't matter who I talk to that I must pay the $99. I still insisted so after putting me on hold forever, a lady came on the line saying she was the manager and couldn't even see reasons with me. I feel like I have been scammed. AT&T is terrible.

    I originally subscribed to AT&T DSL in Mar 2015. There have been several issue, most disturbing of which is FALSIFIED statements by sales reps about product prices; and I have all these communications recorded for verification. False Billing - I was initially told my total monthly fee for phone + DSL would be around $50. However evidently due to my calling and requesting a static IP address (needed for my employer), my monthly cost went up to over 180.00 per month!! Initially AT&T reps could not determine what specifically the fees were from - and stated varying (untrue) reasons (all recorded): That I have two phone lines; that I asked for a business account; that I had installation or modem fees. And during one day, a residential rep told me I DID have a business account; and when I called the business line they stated I CLEARLY do not.

    After about 6 hours combined calls spanning weeks trying to get a refund and corrected bills, without any success, I called AT&T and told them to CLOSE the account and start over with a NEW account and this time WITHOUT landline service. I then filed a complaint with the Wisconsin PUC (who informed me they could not help telephone matters but would relay the complaint to AT&T), I received a call from a AT&T "President's office" rep who stated she would correct the matter. I finally received a check for part of the miss. Of course this did NOT compensate me for my hours or aggregation. The rep DID STATE that the cost was due to my having a business account, probably due to requesting a static IP address. HOWEVER I have a RECORDED CALL of that original requests where the sales rep told me there WOULD BE NO FEE.

    While using my new service I again called to inquire what the fee would be for a static IP address and was AGAIN told there IS NO FEE. A rep told me that a business account DOES come with 5 IPs but since I was requesting 1 for residential use, there would be no charge. My initial bill under the new Internet-only line was the promised $54 the first month - on the second month (after I signed up for auto-pay) the bill IS AGAIN 184.00 (for a measly *3Mbps* and a static IP?!?!?!) and my statements lists a "AT&T HSI PRO SN" which I was never told (let alone authorized) would be added to my account.

    False speed ratings - When I had their "6 mbps" service, my maximum download bit rate during a sustained download test or multiple users, as shown by network graphing tools. CONSISTENTLY never exceeded 5 Mbps; and when they lowered my bandwidth to 3 Mbps it now peaks at 2.5 Mbps. Unreliability -

    In addition to the billing frustration I have experienced horrendous reliability, again documented by recorded service calls. Typically these required modem power restarts, or the AT&T tech would claim they are adjusting the line (It is difficult to believe that: a) this takes human intervention and is not automatic; and b) they do not have alerts to notify them of poor quality so they can correct it WITHOUT the customer needs to call in a file a ticket.)

    Call center disorganization - Calling for support is the MOST frustrating call center experience I have ever had. You MUST reach the right support center for your state; residential vs business; sales vs tech support; And when transferred the operators RARELY know your account info or call log from the last operator; you must REPEAT your account number and the entire problem synopsis.

    IMO, this company's poor quality and business practices TRULY deserve a class action lawsuit, if not another government break-up or forced sell-off. Because I live in a rural area I did not have ANY CHOICE for competing phone lines (Satellite is not an option due to its round-trip-packet times and bandwidth limits for streaming movies). I HIGHLY recommend when calling AT&T for ANY reason that you record the call as evidence, in case they bait and switch, or provide unacceptable service.

    I enjoyed my services with AT&T. I had U-Verse Internet and TV from September 2014-December 2014 and had next to no issues. However, this is a warning for the events that MAY occur after your services with AT&T. I have chat transcripts of all my involvement with AT&T. In September 2014 I signed up for U-Verse Internet. The customer service rep said it would be no contract, and that I would get a FREE Modem, and that I could keep it. A week later I signed up for U-Verse TV. In November I made my last payment and returned my TV equipment, as I had to leave the country. Fast forward. September 2015. I receive constant calls from debt collectors for the amount of $159 (BOOM!). I am clueless as to what this would be about. But find out it is for unreturned equipment. I put up a strong defense saying that I had indeed returned the equipment.

    After weeks of holding out I work out, that this may be a mistake, and that the fee may be concerning my FREE Modem (It is sitting quietly in my closet). I contact AT&T and they say, that "The Modem was a part of a 12-month promotional deal. And after the 12 months it would cost $7 a month." Because now that I have learnt the debt is with the issue of the Modem, I hastily returned it via UPS. I contact AT&T a day later to say I have returned the equipment. And now I still owe $159. I contact them a fourth time, this time they say "Because you stopped services. You needed to RETURN the Modem." I have chat logs to verify that when I signed up the modem was FREE and that I could keep it after services.

    Regardless of the fact. I have now returned the equipment, and still I am being charged $159. This is extortionate for a piece of equipment that is not worth more than $40. Nevertheless I have been abused to the point that even after being pushed to return it, I am still being charged for something I was told was FREE. Watch out. AT&T may serve you well, but it's after the service that you need to be weary.

    If you are deciding on trying AT&T Uverse, think twice cause if the internet would fail, the other components relying on the internet would also fail. You would be better off getting a satellite receiver that is not dependent on the internet. I am so disappointed for trying out AT&T Uverse. It has so many issues or problems.

When asked why all these foreigners are able to take the orders all they can say is "that's a problem".

    Our 12 month contract at a promotional price was up, and our bill jumped from $50 to $87. When I called and said I may have to cancel due to high price, I was told I would be able to receive the same price for 1 more year as long as I re-signed. I was advised to discuss with my husband before signing and given a $9 (late fee) credit in case we went over. 4 days later we call to sign the contract and a different rep "manager" tells us that price was only good for that day, and we should have signed then.

    I explained how we were advised to take our time and even given $9 credit in case we were late. He said sorry, there's nothing he can do. The best he can do is $62 + tax. Keep in mind our previous bill was ($50 AFTER tax). He was very unaccommodating. Would not offer to further help, or even investigate why we were lied to, and just got into an unproductive game of semantics basically. Very upset as I have been an AT&T customer of one service or another for almost 10 years! Beware folks.

I'm always over my maximum credit limit that you've set. Consequently, I have to call to preorder everything. Why not give another option when asked to pay the $150 deposit. Like hey if you order a lot of movies and fights would you like to pay a $500 deposit so you don't have to call every time to preorder since you're over our credit limit amount?

    When I am going through the TV guide to see what is on, I rely on the information at the bottom of the screen to inform me of what the show is about of the channel I am currently skimming on. Unfortunately, one must have taken the Evelyn Woodhead Speed Reading Course to read fast enough before the info changes from what the show is about to who is in the show and then what was the date that show first aired. I have to wait for the information to "cycle" back around to the general information regarding what the show is about and then catch back up to where I was reading. Normally with a movie or TV show I have to wait through 3 cycles to finally understand what the show/movie is about then I can decide if I want to watch it. Pathetic choice by AT&T to set up this way. Also, I keep getting "knocked off" line.

    Went to retail AT&T store to inquire about switching services from T-Mobile and local cable company. Was given great promotional deals. Inquired about installations fees and assured there would be no SURPRISES nor interruption in services. Was also told we had 30 days to cancel if the service was not satisfactory.

    Problem one, we were without internet services for 3 days. Had to make 3 phone calls and 2 hours of call time to get scheduling escalated. Problem two, Direct Tv technician charged us $99 installation fee. After 3 calls and over 75 minutes calling time and 5 transfers, the technician at Direct Tv informed me the sales representative was incorrect and used a sales tactic to get us signed up. I call this FRAUD. I requested to cancel and she informed me I could not due to a 2-yr contract even though services have only been on 3 days. She also informed me it didn't matter if I switched to Google Fiber because AT&T will be merging with them as well. Problem three, day two of Direct tv.

    Before I went with the decision on having Uverse, I went to an AT&T store with my Time Warner Cable bill. I was paying 183 dollars for the service I was getting. I told them what can you offer me for this price, TAXES AND FEES INCLUDED. They offer me Uverse 300 with 200 minutes on home phone and 45 speed Internet whole home DVR for 182 dollars guarantee for 24 months. First bill was supposed to be 241 dollars after that it was supposed to go back down to 182, Taxes and fees included. They even got me a bill break down.

    My first bill comes in, it was 345.77 dollars. I am calling customers service and apparently they failed to inform me about other hidden fees not disclose on my bill break down and on top of that, my bill from 182 dollars every month jumped up to 245. They also declined to comment that the Internet was limited to 245mgb per month. After a long and very disappointed conversation with like 5 different people, they didn't kept their word on what was promised to me. Thankfully, I was still within my 15 day period to cancel if dissatisfied and I did. But they still charge me with the 345 dollars bill even though I didn't even got to 15 day with their services.

    I first got AT&T home phone and DSL back in September of 2014. The DSL modem cost $120. Our phone service didn't work for 3 months. We called and called for repairs, and no one ever came. Instead the IT guy charged us $135 for technical support. So eventually we canceled the phone service, but kept the DSL. When we did that the DSL alone was supposed to be $25 a month. For the first two months it was $25 a month. Then they upped the price to $60 a month.

    I called and complained that I was told I was going to be charged $25 a month. The representative I spoke with told me that they would give me a 40% discount for 6 months. The next month I was charged $90 for generic DSL. So I called back, complained some more, and since then it's been $60 a month. Pretty expensive for crappy DSL. Now my internet loses connection every 2 minutes. And it's been doing it for the past month. I'm not even joking. And I've had to call and complain twice since it started happening. Tomorrow there's supposed to be a repairman coming out to fix this problem. If they do not come, and/or charge me for repairs, I'm refusing payment and getting Hughesnet. And it's only $50 a month for internet much faster than AT&T DSL.

    We moved and wanted to transfer our AT&T service including phone number to our new home. Everything was set up with AT&T before we moved and seemed to be in order. On the scheduled date, the installer came and proceeded to tell me he couldn't do the install and that someone would be back later. When no one showed up, we called again and learned that our order had been cancelled and we were told our phone number was no longer available. I called and spoke with several other people of the course of days and spent hours on the phone getting different answers with everyone I spoke with about it. I was told everything from "the number was already given to someone else" to "the line was never a landline". Neither were true. But, I was the one who had to prove it to AT&T.

    Finally, days later, someone came to install the phone and he and his manager were able to install our old number. This was the best department I've encountered at AT&T. The temporary line was supposed to be buried within 10 working days. It took many more phone calls and hours on the phone to finally get it buried over a month later. Now, we continue to get phone bill for the 'other number' that AT&T tried to assign us when we were told our old number couldn't be used. I've spoken with several people each month who assure me that the account has been cancelled and that I won't billed again.

    Today, another bill arrived for the account. I called and the women I spoke with told me it was for the line we were using before our old number was installed. The only problem with that is this is a new house and there was no phone service until our original number was installed. I asked to speak with a manager only to be ignored and later told that no manager was available. I will never use AT&T again. And this is very unfortunate as I have used AT&T my entire adult life; well over 25 years. I don't know what has happened to this company, but they no longer provide the service they did in the past.

    I have only been with AT&T for a month. When I began the sign up process, they told me that I had to put a card on file for automatic payment and to call ahead of time to remove it if I no longer wanted it to be charged. I called ahead of time to remove myself from autopay and take my debit card off of file. I wanted my credit card to be charged for the bill instead. That very day, I charged the bill to my credit card.

    Days later I noticed that they still had my debit card on file and had in fact charged it without my permission. I called immediately to get the payment reversed because I had a pending charge on my debit card which also sent my debit card into the negative and had it assessed with 2 overdraft fees. I was told that the money would be returned within 24 hours but of course it was not! I called again and I was told that it would be returned with 4-7 days, of course it hasn't been returned to my debit card.

    I called my bank to see if they had received any notice about a refund and their reply was no. I called AT&T and they refunded the money back to my credit card which is exactly what I asked them not to do. I have bills that are being paid late and all they can do was give me a $35 credit as if that will make up for the late fees assessed due to this situation. I was told that because the payment was settled there was nothing they could do!

    I have had AT&T for two years now. The service has been fair. My problem is the repeated charges I'm seeing lately. As you know each charge is itemized on the bill so under surcharges and other fees which includes state cost recovery fee, Texas local video facilities fee, Texas local video service franchise fee, and government fees and taxes which includes Texas City district sales tax, Texas local sales tax, Texas state sales tax. I am being charged 3x for these fees. At first I did not notice because on the front page it's only pennies but on the second page it starts to add up. I have yet to receive a clear explanation for the repeated charges. And what really upsets me is that I have the Uverse service which is a bundle so they claim but I am being charged surcharges government fees and taxes per service included in my bundle.

    I do understand that there are local state federal and county taxes but these charges are all label the same therefore leading me to believe I'm being charged 3 times for one regular reoccurring fee. We have Uverse and wireless service with AT&T so my monthly bill is usually a bit steep but these charges definitely add up and I could save at least $50 per month. And yes $50 makes a difference. Does anybody have an answer for this? Has anybody addressed AT&T about this? Has anybody resolved this issue on your bill? I would not recommend AT&T to the richest person in the world, they are crooks. As many of these large companies are and their service is not worth what they charge nor how they treat their Customer whether it's short term or long term (please excuse my punctuation.

    I switched from Comcast to Uverse in June and I'm beginning to think that was a HUGE mistake. After my term is up I will never use Uverse again. When I signed on, I was told that my bill would be $110 before tax, and that includes 200 Tv, HD Service, DVR, and 45 mbps internet for one year. I was also told that my service was going to be installed the following Friday at 8 am. Come that Friday nobody showed up. When I called they said that my appointment wasn't until the next Thursday at 9? I was never notified of this change or time frame and took off work for no reason. I'm not sure what type of company changes appointment times without notifying the customer. Comcast definitely never did that.

    It was also never mentioned that the HD included was only included for ONE month. So when I got my bill the next month it was $20 higher than anticipated because I was paying for HD tv that I didn't know I had to pay for as well as an installation fee that I shouldn't have to pay since they screwed me over the first time. I'm unbelievably frustrated, especially since Comcast's TV Interface is much more simpler to use, and I'm now effectively paying the same price as I was before. Definitely won't be renewing service due to your company's lack of communication and hidden fees. Your promotional rates are just a bait and switch gimmick.

In the end I didn't have a solution and ended up just asking if there was an option for faster service than what I had. His response was not to answer my question, but to tell me that because I was a DirecTV/Uverse/AT&T customer that I would need to be transferred to another department who could, "offer me some great deals".

    It's hard to know where to start. I moved to Florida and needed internet, telephone, and cable TV. The ads said ATT had "U-verse", all fiber, and a bundle that included everything. That was lie #1. I ordered service, and was told AT&T doesn't offer the TV service in my area, and they would bundle DirecTV instead. But DirecTV would handle everything separately. After calling time and time again to remind me of the installation date, they never showed up. When I found a number to call, they told me the technician reported that he was onsite. Lie #2. When he finally did show up, he said my location could not receive satellite signals. Lie #3. So they installed ONLY internet and telephone, and to my surprise, it is NOT fiber, but copper. The fiber only goes as far as their central office. Lie #4.

    But I'm stuck with AT&T now because I could only cancel the DirecTV portion of my contract without a huge penalty. I had DISH Network install a satellite receiver the next day. Back to AT&T - the service is terrible, with frequent drops and "brownouts" when the bandwidth seems to go to near zero. The only thing steady about the service is the telemarketing and robocalls I now get - they must have sold my number to everyone in Florida.

    Me and my boyfriend purchased Uverse 45.0 internet for the house we were renting. They said it was their fastest speed and we would get first-year customer savings. After installation, we noticed that our internet speed was extremely slow. It took 2 minutes or so to load web pages, we had to constantly unplug and plug back in our modem. Whenever we tried to enjoy some Netflix or crackle we couldn't due to non-stop buffering of our services. We called in, customer service rep explained that even though we had the 45.0, our address only supported 24.0 bandwidth speed. So we were downgraded thinking that would solve our issues. NOT! The same things were still happening, very slow speed to no speed at all. We called back, this time not so understanding. They apologized and mailed us a new modem, still the same thing. Very slow internet speed.

    Then we received the first bill, we noticed the 1-time activation fees which were expected but no promotion on our service, it was full price. So I contacted their customer service once again, that representative told me that we only qualified for a promotion if we had more than 1 service such as their TV or VOIP. I think I just about lost it! We felt bamboozled! I asked her to pull my call from when we first ordered the service so that she could hear that rep promising me $17+ off for the first 12 mos., she claimed I would have to contact the police dept and have them subpoena the phone calls! I told them I wanted to cancel, she advised me of an ETF.

    I contacted my family attorney that we've had for years, they wrote me a legal document stating we would take AT&T to court if they refused to waive the ETF and any other charges for their subpar services.

    Signed up Uverse TV family Service month to month about 2-months ago for 6 month promotional price with $200 Visa Card which was offer to me through my email. After 2 months of service, I called to get the Visa card. Customer service lady, name Anna **, stated that "we have no record to provide you visa card." I told her that I remember pretty well when I signed up. Anyway, I am not happy with it and I am going to disconnect the service. Right away she threatened me that you will be charged for early termination fee. When I asked why will I be charged with termination fee, she stated you have 6-month contract.

    I am not aware that I am in a 6-month commitment and I have not signed any paperwork for it. I asked her to send me a contract if I have signed a contract. She stated that we don't have contract, but when you start new service, contract is automatic. I am extremely upset for putting arbitrarily into 6-month contract even though I have no knowledge of it. So, please do not believe AT&T for any of their service. They will lure you in by advertising $100-200 visa cards, then they will switch you into different service/plan, and will make threats of termination penalty if you try to disconnect service.

    First I signed up for internet service at $29 a month. After 3 months it went to $59 a month. I called & after 52 minutes I was told the $29 was only for the first 3 months. I should have discontinued my service then but I didn't. Last month I had my credit card info stolen so I had to stop/cancel my card. I contacted AT&T & they assured me payment would go against the new card. It did not. I called again, this time the call took 1 hour & 13 minutes. They took the same info down, said they would have to charge me $108 for 2 months. I said, "Okay." Once I explained what had happened I was told my balance was zero & there would be no additional charge.

    23 days later I was charged another $108 for basic internet ($216 in one month) so I called once again. After finally finding my account & 77 minutes I was told I was being charged for $59 internet & $49 for returned payment. I was livid. I asked to cancel my account. I was put on hold again for 23 minutes. They said they couldn't refund the $108 even though my service was cancelled. I will never ever buy anything from AT&T again. If anyone asks I will recount their record of horrid service.

    We set up Uverse for my son to use while he was away at college. You have 30 days from the time you sign your contract until it goes into effect. On day 30, they suspend his account - even though he paid his bill. When I called to find out what was going on, they asked me four questions that they apparently got off my credit file. The questions they asked did not pertain to my credit history so when I replied that none of the above were true, they told me they couldn't help me.

    Then they tell me I have to provide two photo IDs and two forms of proof of residency. Well - I don't live with my son at college!!! So, I couldn't provide them with that.

Our account hasn't been right since, we've even come home to having our service disconnected for no known reason. Their reasoning? Something in the promotion must have dropped off causing your account info to change… What!? So here we go again, locked in for a year with this garbage provider.

    I have AT&T DSL here in California and have been since 2008. For the most part, their service has performed quite well and nearly trouble-free with a tech coming out only once to repair a faulty line, or I have called tech support to report an outage. However, I am not happy paying an outrageous fee for substandard service when cable companies are pushing higher speeds and fiber is coming to many areas around the country.

    I'm supposed to get 6 megs - in reality its 4.8 or slower depending on time of day - plus a 150 gigabyte monthly cap and overage charges of $10 for ever 50 gigs I go over. My internet bill is supposed to be about $40 a month. On average it is $71.00. This month of August 2015 is $84.00. AT&T justifies these bandwidth cap and overage charges as needed because of a small few that are using the service "too much". I am a cord cutter. I stream my TV using HBO Now, Showtime, HULU, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and sling TV. I am also a gamer. ISPs such as AT&T, Comcast, Cox, Suddenlink, CenturyLink, Windstream and Time Warner are engaged in pushing metered internet in several of the markets they serve. They do this because they do not have competition and out of greed.

    I happen to live in Pacifica, a city of about 40,000 people only 7.1 miles from downtown San Francisco, California where AT&T and Comcast are the only two providers in my area. I really would like to know how is this telecom still allowed to continue to get away with ripping people off and what will it take for people to fight back and demand better.

    I switched to At&t Uverse a couple years ago because it was cheaper than what I currently had. I got the 12 mb package and paid $100 for equipment (modem) and another $100 for installation. I had the service about a year and then we were moving into the house directly across the street and called to transfer service to our new address. The person I talked to talked me into increasing my speed to 18 Mb which was fine, but then proceeds to tell me that I need an equipment upgrade and a tech to come install it. I then tried to just stay with the old package to avoid the equipment cost again, but then she says if I get home phone for only $5 extra for 12 months, they'll waive the equipment fee, but a tech still has to come to do something with the line (which is weird because the people who lived there before had At&t Uverse already). I ended up taking the bait.

    We moved across the street and the install day comes. The tech checks the wiring outside and then comes in to set up the modem. I told him about the person I had talked to that told me I needed an equipment upgrade to get the increased speeds. He gave me a funny look and pulled out the modem. It was the exact same modem I was already using. In fact he just used my old one so I wouldn't have to go through and adjust the settings in the new one. The lady only told me I needed the equipment upgrade so I'd take the home phone. I never used my home phone. In fact I don't even remember my number.

    I once had to pay my Uverse internet via my cell phone because my laptop was broken. The few times that I did pay it through the phone I normally do it by myself with an automated system, however to my surprise they had connected me to a teller. Once I got through paying my bill, she then proceeds to tell me about a special offer that's in my area where I can get faster internet for the same price that I'm currently paying which is about $47. I then ask her "Will there be any extra charges?" She then assures me that my bill will be at the same rate. Like any normal person would, I said "sure why not?" Mind you she didn't even tell me that I needed a tech and for me to schedule a date. The next day rolls in, and I get an automated message saying that a technician will come to my house. I was at work and read the message two hours too late. By the time I called my dad to tell him not to let them in, it was already too late.

    They operated in my house without my permission. I'm the owner of the account, I should be the one in the know!! So three weeks goes by and I view my bill online. It went from $47 to $80. I was so upset that I almost defecated on myself. I picked up the phone to frantically call AT&T. The first teller I spoke to was a mess, he said he was going to call the head office to try and fix everything. He had me on hold for 45 minutes. He then finally comes back on the phone to say he's going to call me back which he never did. I call back the next day, and this new teller gave me a run around saying that my old deal that I had was about to expire and that this is a great promotion. How was my old deal about to expire when I only had it for like 5 months? It's supposed to expire in 12 months. He was an idiotic liar. He then told me there's nothing he can do. That was the end of that. I was even angrier than before.

    The next day, I called again. To my surprise I actually reached a competent teller. She was as shock as me to see the sudden increase of my bill. I told her everything that happened and she transferred my call to the manager's office. The manager read my file that the teller concocted, and he apologized for everything that happened. I told him that I was so upset and felt bamboozled and scammed. He understood and gave me a manager discount which consisted of cutting my bill in half for the next 12 months and crediting my upcoming bill which was $80. I was very satisfied and pleased.

    I've been a loyal customer to this company. I'm a broke college student that would rather pay my bill on time than to eat. I had my foot out the door, ready to leave. If he didn't offer me the apologetic manager special, another one would've bitten the dust. I write this to say, be careful! Don't really pick up promotions if you're already satisfied with the one you already have. Some tellers needs to reach a quota and they will play you! Just beware.

    I used to be a customer service agent for mobile and DSL. Take my word for it. They get people off the streets, train them for a few weeks, then throw them on the phones. They treat their people like dogs. Most employees don't care about the customer and often will tell lies. Most of the employees only last a few months because of the stress of dealing with mad customers and supervisors who are paid to find fault. Best bet is to stick to your guns and if you don't get what you want, hang up and call back. By calling back you hurt the call back ratio. Another tip, if you need more time to pay and/or credit, ask for a "hardship credit". Sometimes it works. Also claim you were experiencing an outage. You can usually get at least $25 credit. Customer service agents are authorized to give up to $250 credit. Work it. The agent doesn't want you to respond negatively on those surveys sent to you. Hope the information helps.

After about 10 minutes on phone, I was told the modem needed to be replaced and arrangements were made to send me a new one.

First time when I set this up, people in the store told me that I only have to pay for a router, so I paid 100 bucks for it. They told me that I will have 3.0mbps. When the day of installation, a technician came to my room and told me, "You can only have 1.5mbps at this location." I was fine. However, the technician did not know how to set PPPoE which is essential for any DSL to connect the Internet. The technician was so stupid to that. He, moreover, insisted me that he has urgent that he had to leave. I searched on Google and asked my friends to set PPPoE by myself. I used just one week and canceled it due to the slow speed and bad customer care.

    The funny thing is a store and a technician tell different thing about a router. People in the store told me that I must have a router to use DSL, that was the reason I paid 100 bucks. On the other hand, a technician told me that the router I bought from the store was useless. Anyway, I returned the router and got refunded. It has been two months, and today I got a bill that telling me to pay 194.19 bucks for one month DSL service and installation fee. I called and chatted to customer service center. The answer they gave me is, "Just pay the bill." This is so frustrating. The good thing is I now glad to know that AT&T is really good at ripping customers out without providing good service.

    Was sold on the premise that tv/internet/voip service was delivered by fiber optic cable. Upon delivery found out that the fiber optic cable ended about a mile from my house. I decided to go with U-verse after being with DirecTV for fifteen years because of the loss of satellite signal during rainstorms as well as the inherent delay in the delivery of satellite signal. With satellite service you can't watch a sporting event and listen to the radio account because of the several second delay in the satellite signal. After installation I found out that the signal being delivered to me was DirecTV's signal, proven by the tearing of the image and total loss of image during a light to heavy rainstorm.

    Now, I'm paying twice as much for the same crappy service as before. Their internet service is wrought with lock-ups, multiple error signals that I'd never seen before at speeds slower than dial-up. So far the only improvement from my old service is the voip service. To top it all, my agreed monthly rate for the first 24 months went up by $33/mo with no explanation. When I went online to view my statement it showed me the total amount due but would not allow me see how that number was reached. When I called customer service the rep told me she couldn't view the charges that made up that total due. How can they come up with a total without the charges that make up that number being available?

    As far as repair service goes, after installation I noticed that the receiver in the family room did not respond to the remote controller consistently. I tried all other controllers to verify the source of the problem. I call support and was told it was the controller and not the receiver. They sent me two more controllers. Still same problem. Call support again and this time they sent me another receiver. That solved the problem and it only took three weeks. If they had sent a repairman out it might have taken maybe three day, tops, but it seems that once they have you on the hook you don't matter as much. Needless to say, I would not recommend this product/service to anyone.

    I cannot get away from AT&T (all services) fast enough. The $180 ETF for U-Verse will be the best $180 I have EVER spent. I had been under an AT&T (DSL)/DIRECTV bundle for over 5 years. I was hoping to save money by switching to U-Verse. When I subscribed to AT&T U-Verse 42 days ago, I was told by the AT&T/U-Verse rep that my total bill (including DirecTV) would DECREASE by $35/month. Wrong! My bill increased by $70. After spending 45 minutes on the phone with AT&T, my bill still ended up being $30 more than what I previously paid with the bundle. I tried to go back but was told AT&T no longer offers DSL (why?). Sounds like another way for them to get more money. U-Verse can combine the billing with DirecTV for a $5.00/month savings. Whoopie!

    I have never posted a negative comment about any company but this is ridiculous. I am leaving AT&T and going to Verizon. I should have done that in the beginning. I have had cell phone service with Verizon for over 15 years and have NEVER had a problem. I am extremely disappointed in AT&T. If there were a star lower than "Angry", I would choose it. This comment will more than likely never make it to AT&T but hopefully somebody will read it and think twice about switching carriers.

    Moved, took 7 days for hook up appt. Then told the Uverse cable was not provided in my area but my sister lives 6 doors down and has it. That rep tried to shove DirecTV down my throat which I refuse to get. Called back 2 days later. After being on the phone for an hour and then being called back twice, I was told the Uverse was available but couldn't get an appointment for an additional 6 days.

    Once they came, the tech needed someone else to come out but said it would be that day or the next. The other tech came that night and left just saying now someone can come do your inside work. I call the next day to see if someone was coming and was asked repeatedly by one rep which one of my services was the problem. He could not understand that I had no working services because not had ever been started. I only wanted to know when a tech would be out. I had to hang up and call back. Finally when calling to cancel my whole order, someone was able to help and tell me he could schedule someone the next day. Well, I'd be at work. So I'd have to wait another 5 days. No thanks. After being a long time AT&T customer, I will never come back!

    My AT&T modem died while teleworking to care for 90 year old relation. I'm not fully tech literate and I decided to take the leap to from DSL to U-verse after talking to the rep. She was kind & helpful. The U-verse rep was, shall we say persistent in trying to convince me to switch from my phone landline to digital. After 40 minutes we reached agreement with installation scheduled for the next day. It was a really decent deal.

    No one showed. I called the auto menu and learned that a new appointment time -- more than a week later -- had been scheduled. I was a little testy with the next rep who basically said my issue didn't qualify. I replied that I had a verbal contract & planned to file a complaint with the FCC and the State utilities regulator regarding failure to honor an agreement & to notify me of a change which BTW would be totally unacceptable. She was sympathetic and got me on the schedule for the next day. But the proof is in the pudding. To be continued.

    My new apartment complex was offered a $59 TV/Internet bundle, with free installation. I called before expiration date and was not given bundle price!! Was charged $100 for installation and Internet only for $61.95. My installation was scheduled for Friday 8/14 for a 1-3 pm appointment. The wiring tech arrived at 4:15 and modem tech came at 5:15 and finished at 6:15 pm!!! No one called to say they would be late. One of the techs, said he would straighten things out with account manager and hasn't. Called customer service, named Frank ID #**, and explained situation and they said they couldn't do ANYTHING, and told me to contact the account manager myself, but would not provide a name and phone number. I insisted on speaking to a supervisor but he kept saying they were ALL at lunch! He said he would have one of them call me back... It's been 4 days, no calls!

    AT&T needs to be investigated. False advertisement of their products and pricing. Told I would get U-verse for about 160.00 a month... Period. My bill shows up for 188.00. Was told oh that's for taxes and fees in your State. Really you need to disclose that and give better estimates. Was told they can't calculate every state. Bull... Get your act together. I am not done yet.

    Then contacted customer service who said he would correct my bill, he sees the problem. Didn't tell me it was a temporary adjustment and took away some of my phone minutes. Called customer service again. Told them I was never notified of the reduced minutes and again I feel mislead. Was told it was in the notes from the call. Told them the call was recorded, listen to the call. Wanted it escalated to a supervisor. They told me I would receive a call back in 10 days from a Manager. It's been 3 weeks and nothing.

    I have a business where my customer pay me by swiping their credit card in a car wash. My internet service through AT&T went down last Thursday, August 13. When contacted, they were unable to diagnose the issue over the phone and the soonest they could get a tech was Friday, August 14, between 1-4 PM. Tech arrived at 4, and at about 6 had concluded the modem needed to be replaced and he did so and we were in business at the site. Remote access to business software was not available. Saturday morning, August 15, we discovered we were down again. Hired a IT company on call to come over and find the problem. AT&T spent 2 hours with our IT tech and concluded they would need to send a tech out again and he was scheduled for 1-4 on Sunday, August 16.

    We called back to AT&T and talked to a customer support tech who worked to help us, by going through the same protocols the previous AT&T tech service people and our IT Tech had completed. No improvement in results, but this AT&T tech was able to get the appointment moved up to 8-12 Sunday morning. On Sunday morning the AT&T tech (working with my hired IT tech) concluded the tech on Friday had somehow messed up our account and we would need to open a new account. That would take place in the next 24 to 48 hours. We again called AT&T tech support and after a very long discussion about where we had been we received a text saying we would be up at 7:30 that Sunday Evening. Giving AT&T the benefit of the doubt we waited until Monday morning to call about the fact we were still down.

    After another 1 1/2 hours on the phone with a AT&T tech who was trying to help, it ended up we had to get with sales to open a new account. We did so and were treated as if we had no previous business relation, starting out with credit checks, new account charges, and credit card info. At this point we were told we could get service by Thursday August 20. The last AT&T tech indicated he was working with his boss and they expected to have a tech out today. I am not sure how much business we lost, but it likely will exceed $5,000, not counting lost future business because of upset customers. The fact of the matter is, AT&T does not have the capability of solving and expediting a problem like this, and finding someone who has the authority to cut through all of the layers of bureaucracy is not possible. If you need internet service, we would recommend you explore other options than AT&T U-verse.

    I signed up for Internet services back in December of 2014. I was told that I needed to purchase my modem up front and then I'd be billed for the first and second month of service AT&T at once. Everything was fine for the first two months or so, and then my bill increased out of nowhere. It was only $5 more per month but I was concerned that they could now increase my bill at any time they felt. No one could give me a real reason as to why the price increase took place. But I stayed. Maybe a month or so later my internet speeds dropped severely. The only solution tech support had was to send a technician out to repair the issue. He exchanged my modem and was on his way. Maybe 2 months later same issue, same solution. And... About 2 months later all over again only this time the tech does talk my roommate (who isn't on the bill) that we need to raise our speed.

    So to recap my bill has now gone from $30 to $35 and now to $45. With the tax I'm now paying $20 more than when I started services. So this modem, just like the others, crashes of course and I decide this is enough. I call to cancel services because I'm just over it and of course they talk me into giving them one more chance. They say they can fix it and credit me $30 and promise I'll never have this or any issue with them ever again. They send a great tech out who went through my phone jack wiring and fixes something in there. They give me, yes another modem. He also tells me that they'll send someone to test the outside lines to make sure they're grounded to avoid having this issue ever again... And you know what, it actually worked for a month or so this time. Finally I just gave up.

    I called in April to cancel services. When I did they required that I return my modem. This I thought was strange since I owned it... Or the first one I received I purchased. But the tech took that one with him when he hooked up the new one. I discussed this with the phone rep and he agreed that I owned the modem and noted the account. He said I shouldn't have any issues at all with them anymore. Well it's July now and I looked at my bank account to find that AT&T has auto drafted $161 out of my bank account to cover the bill for the modem I didn't return! Apparently this is my fault for setting up auto pay with them. I immediately contacted AT&T to find out what this charge was for and dispute it.

    After talking with 3 different departments I finally get in contact with someone who can look up the whole bill. She found that I was not to be billed and that it was a mistake. She tells me that someone from the billing refund department will call me on Monday or Tuesday... And of course no one called! So Wednesday morning I call them. I am told that I was issued a refund and should receive it in 10 business days. At this point I've been without my money already for 6 days and I now have to wait another 10. So fast forward to today... August 17th and no money. It's been over 3 weeks. This is ridiculous. Over all I'd say terrible customer service. Every time you call they have computer issues. They take your money at any given chance. Don't buy.

    I was so excited about the great deal I was given when the technician delivered my AT&T equipment to my new home. That's when it all began. To begin with, my first debit to my account was double what I'd been told. It took multiple phone calls and hours on hold from India (who evidentially has access to every bit of my personal info, without government regulations, if my account is hacked! Infuriating in itself!) I was given a trial offer of HBO and never once received any deal they promised, monthly, I just never know what my bill will be - and it’s always over the initial promised amount! I live on limited income and NO MATTER how many times I call, it’s never resolved. In June I called to ensure they canceled my HBO and they told me it would be credited, and was taken off my subscription. Now, July billing had HBO charges and other fees I'd never seen. I paid and now I have a late fee for not paying for the HBO and other fees!

    Again, I rec August Billing for September and now, somehow the $60 billing promise is $151. Every month they tell me it’s corrected - and the only thing I can count on is they continue to repost the HBO charges! Initially, I tried to sign up for the $59 per month online special but they have made it impossible to submit and require a phone call. Then, all of a sudden, the online scam begins to unravel! Are they buying our FCC to the point they continue the scams and billing practices they have been sued for with mobile telephone billing?! It’s troubling to know AT&T doesn't care about promises, integrity or even theft of people’s hard earned money!

Mind you, the bill isn't due until August 17th and he was here the 13th. I called again on Friday to pay bill AND to have ANOTHER tech person come out. They said my appointment was scheduled for arrival between 4 pm-8 pm. At 7:30 pm I called to make sure someone was coming out still and was told yes. At 7:45 pm I receive a call that he would NOT be coming out. She stated someone would be out on Saturday the 15th between 2 pm-4 pm. I usually receive a text confirming the appointment and this time I never did. I call Saturday at 12:30 to confirm and guess what!!! No appointment was scheduled.

    After a few words with the person on the other end I asked to speak with a "supervisor" who tells me I was considered a low priority since all of the equipment was working according to HIS iPad and that's why no one has been out yet. REALLY!!! You tell your customers that? I just paid a $200 cable bill. Maybe next month you will be a low priority also. So now I have to wait another 2 days to have cable.

    So, it went through management and I got a call tonight from the salesperson's manager saying that he was her manager and had spoken to her and the price she quoted wouldn't be honored! How can AT&T quote a price and admit they did, but then refuse to honor it? I'm looking to take action. Does anyone have suggestions on where to begin? Corporate names? Addresses??

I explained to him that my family and I had decided that we were going to disconnect our cable, internet, and phone service from WOW and go with AT&T because of their prices. Before disconnecting though I wanted to make certain that the internet speeds would fit our needs. I explained in detail that we no longer wanted any type of cable and that we were going to be streaming movies through our multiple (4) game consoles and laptops. I let him know that each person in our home (5) has a laptop and that each person (5) has a cell phone. Well he assured me that AT&T would be able to meet my needs. He assured me that movies, games, working on the laptops, and playing on the cell phones could all be done at one time with the speed he was going to recommend.

    I was very excited and blown away at the low cost and the thought that everyone in the home could each do what they wanted at the same time. Well now I am waiting on my equipment. The man I ordered from said it would arrive by UPS within 3 to 4 days. Did that happen? You ask. Well of course NOT. I waited and waited. Finally the NIGHT before my installation the equipment arrived. Now the technician comes. He is very nice and seems to be very knowledgeable. He stayed in my house, under my house, and up a telephone pole for around 3 to 4 hours while I could not leave my home because someone has to be present. Finally he said, “All done, everything is fixed, and working the way it should". UMMMMMM.....NO! I could not get any service at all!

    Called the company back. I tell them I need someone out here to fix my service. MAM, it will be tomorrow. Will you be available between 8:30am and 12. I said, “NO, I won’t be. I have to get my children to school and then take my Uncle to a doctor’s appointment”. Their reply, “We are sorry. Let me see what other day I can schedule you for”. Well that was not going to fly! Finally they told me the same tech was coming out. He came, changed the modem, and left. Finally service!! Well I guess its service. Seeing as how I can't stream any movies through my computer or Netflix, my kids’ games just keep glitching, and my computer takes FOREVER to load anything.

    I call AT&T back and not one person will tell me who I spoke with to order service. I tell them that he lied to me and I need something done. Some supervisor eventually told me that the speed in my area is the very slowest they have! She says there is nothing they can do but reimburse me. That is what I finally get after multiple phone calls and being put on hold for I don't know how long. What a lousy company! What a company full of deceit!
