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.

    They are no better than other cable companies. They lure you in with free promos then let them lapse and bill you the extra cost. When I decided to leave, they give me a decent deal while never telling me it was for a minimum one year contract (they said it was good for 1 year). I called one week later about this contract obligation and they charged me a $180 termination fee to break the contract. I can't stand companies who deceive their customers and I would have paid a lot more just to end my services with this company.

    Every 2-3 months my bill is different. When you call them they will tell you that you were on a promotion. But they fail to let you know this was a promotion. I will never recommend them to anyone. They will not let you speak with management.

    Seven months ago I switched from Comcast to AT&T because Comcast rewarded my loyalty by raising my fees to twice what I can afford to pay. AT&T quoted me $138 a month total for phone, TV and internet. Every statement, without exception, has been in the $169 range. (Why can't these companies offer senior discounts?!) Secondly, I've had an unlisted phone number for over 50 years so, of course, I asked that my AT&T phone be unlisted also. Every month I'm charged for an unlisted number and every month for the past seven months I've called to complain that my phone number is still published. When I call 411 to see if they're still giving my phone number out, I'm told there's a listed and an unlisted number under my name... which one would I like? ("Duh, I want the unlisted one, please.")

    I have one phone and one phone number, for pete's sake, so the stupidity of this is absolutely mind boggling. Every month I call to complain and every month I'm told they'll remedy the situation... Yeah, right. Words cannot begin to describe how frustrated and angry I am. Twice when I called, I've asked to speak to a supervisor and the same thing happened both times: I'm told to hold and I can hear a phone ringing... I'm assuming it's the supervisor's. And after sitting there twiddling my thumbs for TWENTY SIX MINUTES the first time and EIGHTEEN MINUTES the second time, I'm disconnected and back to square one. Oh, too, I'm charged $2.25 for each call to 411... I'm calling to check if they've done their job and they want to charge me?! I should be charging them for my time!

    To make matters worse, while I'm watching TV a sign pops up that states "if you want to continue to watch TV, click ok." While I'm scrambling to get two dogs off my lap so I can find the stupid remote, I've missed part of my program! I called customer service the first time this happened and they sent a tech out. He swore up and down that not only had he never heard of this happening, neither had his supervisor. He left without doing a thing. I called several more times to complain and each time I was told a different story... but they all did end the same - there wasn't a thing in the world they can do about it. I have since found out through tech-savvy friends, that one of the cable boxes I have has a sleep mode that it randomly goes into. I called customer service again and asked for equipment that doesn't have a sleep mode and I'm told that they have none. Does that sound right to anyone?!

    When I ordered my "bundle" I specifically said I know nothing about internet speed but I wanted enough that I could watch a video straight through without it stopping to buffer every few minutes. I think that somewhere, in a far away land, this is possible, but evidently not with AT&T in California. I'm a senior citizen with a very bad heart... I can't take the frustration of dealing with these complete morons for hours on end EVERY SINGLE MONTH. As far as I'm concerned, AT&T has breached our contract in EVERY conceivable way and my next step will be to report them to the Consumer Financial Protection Agency, the BBB and anyone else I can find.

    Compared to 3 companies I have had: direcTV, Dish, and at Uverse. Loss of signal: way less with Dish. The weather has to be nasty. Att, the weather was fine, and no voice, seriously. DirecTV, plain rain, you lost signal. Price: direcTV and Att both expensive not worth the price, not even for bundle. Dish has folders you can store individual movies/shows for each family. Not so with Att. I don't know about direcTV. When you skip commercials, with Att, you can see the slowww commercial being skipped. That is why I am skipping! Att/direcTV not worth the $.

    Big mistake choosing U-verse. The line to my house had to be buried through my backyard neighbors yard. The techs that bury the line decided to run the wire above ground the last 10 feet due some barrels in my neighbor's yard. Called AT&T who then gave my wife's number to the tech who buries the line. He told it was impossible to bury line. My second call to AT&T which sent out the same tech again. This time he sprinkled dirt over the line that was still above ground. Gave up and called to disconnect service. Was told I am going to have to pay early termination fee of $160.00 and "why, because your techs are lazy?" They had another option of running the buried line through another neighbor's yard but the tech refused because he felt that the neighbor was a bit odd (sexual preference). I learned my lesson after $160.00 charged to me because of the inability to install their product properly.

    I was looking for a cheaper Internet Service, so AT&T had a promotion for Internet at the rate of $14.95 with a landline $20.00 monthly for a year. At the time my Internet Services that I had went up to $59.00 a month. So this seems like a good deal. I informed the sales person about my financial situation, income had dropped so I couldn't afford very much. Sales person was also aware that I couldn't afford the $50.00 that the other company was charging. So I talk to Sales person ** for a while, because I was sure if this was a good decision once he told me about an additional $99.00 it all turned bad. I've paid nearly $200.00. Had to cut out the services because of hidden fees.

    I've been an AT&T customer since dial-up days. I have multiple AT&T business lines, U-verse at my business, U-verse at my home and multiple wireless numbers. In 2014 I succumbed to a promo to switch home voice and Internet from DSL to U-verse with a 1-year promo price and Max Turbo download. As the promo expiration came near I asked what deals they had to replace the old rate. I got switched to retention who offered me an almost-as-good deal for another year and I accepted. Then it began: every month the billing was wrong, every month I spent a half-hour with customer service, every month it allegedly got corrected, every month the correction did not appear on the next invoice.

    Finally they added a past due pay immediately amount because previous customer service reps had told me to underpay the incorrect bills with alleged credits to come along later. After 4 months of this, a retention rep admitted on today's 65-minute conversation that some of their notes were incomplete or missing from previous encounters. (Curiously, my own handwritten notes from each of the calls are very clear including the dates, rep names, and quotations) Bottom line is that they will no longer honor the offer I accepted 4 months ago and I must now choose between lower speed or the discount price but not both as I was promised. So much for "Customer satisfaction is very important to us."

    For starters, they lure you into signing a contract with promises of a $400 Visa reward card and you only get two separate $100 reward cards, so half of the amount promised. According to them, I didn't say that I received endless flyers in mail for this particular promo to the customer service rep when I called to set up installation. Although, I did in fact say that was only reason I was signing up. I already had a cheaper cable/internet package with WOW. They proceed to tell me to make sure I leave my current cable internet services connected until they professionally install their own which I did. I got a "whole home DVR" which doesn't mean anything except it's a DVR like everyone else's. Whole HOME meaning if you buy a separate digital converter box for every TV in your home at $10/ea per month every month, then every TV will be able to get some basic channels.

    So for me, that would $40/mo extra just in AT&T equipment and their channel packages are very far from BASIC. They make absolutely no sense. Anyway, the person installing my AT&T services cut & capped the WOW cable line into my home and hooked up AT&T using WOW's connection.. I'm angry because I paid for WOW service and it was for my children to have basic channels in their rooms. So they hooked up Uverse whole home DVR TV & internet & my children all lost their TV channels in their rooms! Now we have cable in our living room only and the slowest internet since dial up!! I cant wait until this overpriced, false advertising, useless cable channels & slow internet service contract is up!! All I wanted was cheaper service & my $400 reward visa! Instead, I'm stuck with a higher monthly bill, less services, slower internet, & half of my promised rewards! Do YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE. #LessonLearned

    I just opened my Uverse bill & it was higher than normal. Upon inspection I noticed they charged me $100.00 for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight on 04/21 (the fight was on 05/02). I never ordered this fight, nor did I watch it. I called the billing dept. and was told there was nothing they could do to reverse the charge. I told them I live alone and did not order the fight. She said there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak with a Manager and she said there is nothing the Manager can do. I told her that they cannot charge me for something I did not order or watch. She finally said "okay disregard the charge & we will take care of it". So just a warning to everyone to double check your bill and take action if there are charges you did not make.

    This is in regards to AT&T Uverse and DirecTV: 1.)When I signed up through a recorded phone call for AT&T U-verse and DirecTV, I was promised a Samsung Tablet. This was never sent to me. No Tablet, No Contract. That simple. 2.) I was charged $178.74 on my last AT&T bill, under the heading AT&T/DirecTV. It is my understanding that this is for the DirecTV service. This is way out of line and no explanation given other than "Software Error" for the previous months billing. Since signing up in January 2014 I have been calling almost every month to dispute billing mostly from the DirecTV portion of the bill. After spending time and resolving issues over the phone the next bill is inflated again. I have had enough. Both companies have been at fault.

    I signed up for U-Verse internet in December. In May of the following year my girlfriend and I moved to a new apartment. I called to have our service transferred and apparently U-Verse isn't available at the new address. Therefore, I was going to have to sign up for DSL service instead which was going to raise my bill by $25 a month AND I was going to have to pay ANOTHER $50 activation fee on top of the one I had already paid.

    I talked to customer service and explained that I had no control over where their U-Verse was available and where it wasn't and also asking why I was being charged another fee when I was trying to KEEP their service. He said that the standard is to be charged an activation fee at every new residence. So basically if you move, it is punishable by a $50 fee, plus a hike in rate for service. I finally after talking to 3 different people decided to cancel my service. They seriously don't care about how much they are screwing people over and I'll NEVER deal with them again.

    Every time I get my bill, there is always a hidden fee or increase. It's such a rip off. For instance, just recently they stated that the cost of the U300 and all other packages went up by 5.00. Even though that may seem like nothing, if you continuously keep upping your prices every so often, the consumer is paying for much more than what they initially agreed to. They have constantly changed their prices. It's disgusting.

    Also they have removed Music Choice and replaced it with this garbage music station called Stingray. Why am I paying more and it doesn't even have any type of music that I listen to? Also they never have it to where you can use your tablet or other device to watch apps such as the Lifetime Channel or Music Choice app. Every other cable company has theirs listed, AT&T U-verse makes sure that you can't do anything extra, but they want to charge such ridiculous prices.

    This big corporate company is a fraud, and they need to be exposed. I have had several run ins with AT&T over pricing, customer care, as well as product. They continue to get worse.

I changed my entire day's schedule to accommodate this tech visit, and lo and behold, he never showed. I was on the phone at 3pm, talked to 4 different people who had absolutely no clue.

    I paid my bill in full and canceled my AT&T U-verse service last month. I asked the "customer representative" to cancel the service at the end of the billing cycle so I would have no further charges. He explained that the end of the billing cycle was 2 days before the end of the contract date and that I would owe $15 for breaking the contract early. I said in that case to shut off the service at the end of the contract.

    This month I received a bill for $15. When I called for an explanation I was told that the charge was for using two days into the next billing cycle. I explained the facts above and was told that he could roll the cancellation date back to the billing date but then I would owe $15 for breaking the contract early or I could leave the cancellation where it is and pay $15 for being two days into the next billing cycle (I had actually stopped using the service and had even returned the equipment four days before the end of the billing cycle but was told that didn't matter).

    When I asked why the billing cycle didn't align with the contract date he said the law allowed them to have the billing date within two days of the contract date. I asked if in his knowledge a customers billing date was ever PAST their contract end date so they wouldn't owe extra? He said he couldn't understand what I was asking even though I reworded the question a few different ways. So I said that it sounded like a scam to make sure they would always get more money out of former customers even if they fulfilled their contract and paid their bill in full, in other words a "cancellation fee."

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

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

    I contacted At&T for phone and internet service. I was offered DirecTV services to bundle the package and get even better rates. I was offered Free DVR, HD and select premium channels free for 3 months. I was told my package would stay the same for the duration of my stay with the bundle. When the DVR service would not work I contacted DirecTV and was told it was not free and that the contract for the end of the first year would show an increase for all services to increase to regular pricing.

    I informed them that I had been told the package would stay the same as long as I had the services and that they could listen to the recorded call to verify that I would not take the package if it would not stay the same for the duration. Therefore, I was mis-informed and lied to. He told me to cancel I would pay termination fees for both companies.

    For almost 5 years we have had internet and our landline phone service with AT&T (which is actually Southern Bell, S.B.C.). All our computers are Macintosh which for us is a local outfit. With almost rhythmic regularity our email malfunctions such that we cannot send or receive email and because we have MACs they want to charge us for trouble shooting even as the problem is with the servers. This morning we have not been able to successfully log on at all for hours.

    After a lot of interactions with this firm I have concluded that this is not a high tech firm but a real estate/monopoly investment scheme--they don't even have email but job it out to Yahoo (technically, when we log on for web access we go to att.yahoo.com) they cannot even handle email: meaning buy servers set them up with well established applications and maintain them physically and technically).

    Calling them puts me in the Philippines or some other place and commit to hours of punishing frustration always concluded with some commitment that I am happy with the service which is extracted prior to actually having a resolution. The problem always begins with a denial of my password that is repeated until it finally accepts the offered password that is the same as the one just moments before was denied (I know this is true because I have copied it and inserted it form a simple text (.txt) note I keep on my desktop. I also keep a close notation of how much is billed and the dates involved because they periodically charge late fees of significant amounts such that I would NEVER allow them to bill me automatically and regard them as borderline criminals.

    I was a customer of Dish and was real happy with the service and price but I was using ATT internet. I had a combined bill since I had phone and internet with ATT. I had to speak with someone about my phone and the rep from ATT convinced me to switch TV from Dish to Uverse and it took 6 months to get my service working right - they had to reinstall my whole system. Then after a year we moved was told they would move my service and was told to take my devices and an installer would come and my service would be up and running upon our move in date. Well I didn't get anyone out for 2 weeks then the person who came couldn't get my internet working. After another week I was told that they would have to turn off my existing account and open a new one. Well it took another week to finally get it done.

    After all this I had to wait 5 months to get a refund from my previous account and since then I have had nothing but problems with internet speed - trying to watch my recordings I get this message that DVD and receiver are not connected to my service and I'm extremely dissatisfied with services I pay my bills. And I'm under Dr's care I'm either in bed or in my recliner so I'm paying for something that I can't use. And when I tell ATT I thought that I would get some type of credit it, to my dismay NO. I would definitely not recommend any type of service from ATT. I disconnected my cell phone because of poor service. I should have known better than to try Uverse.

    Internet, TV & Phone all out on Sunday May 16th at 9:15 PM -- we'd had storms in the area, so I wasn't very surprised. After trying all the usual tricks (unplugging the power to TV and then to the wall mounted "server" equipment), I finally called AT&T. They said that since both the Service light and the Broadband lights were both out on the Gateway Tower. They told me that this would require a service call. The earliest appt time would be on Tues. May 19th at 8:30 -12:30 (4 hour window). Oddly, the Tower lights came on Monday night May, 18th, at about 9:15 PM.

    I responded to the text message they'd sent regarding the technician - I said that they could forget the appt. They said "No - we need to come out anyway." I thought this was strange -- and sure enough this morning Tue. May 19th, our internet service was running extremely slow. The tech guy came out at 12:00 noon and is working outside.

    I'm concerned that they are doing something to my system as a response to the new services they are rolling out -- and will find out soon that I need to subscribe to the Digital Life system and am being set-up. My reason for this is that I have noticed over the last 10 years of AT&T mobile service this has been their modus operandi. Create a problem, offer a solution, and voila I'm paying for a new or enhanced service. Has anyone bought a wi-fi extender because their original wi-fi signal had to be enhanced -- look at your bill - you'll see that you pay for that "enhancement."

    I recently went to the AT&T store in my neighborhood because I wanted to allow my daughter, who had a old 4S iPhone to get the upgrade for $200 to an iPhone 6. Her phone was 4 months from being eligible. So my plan was to just swap with her until she returned from Europe in 4 months and get myself a iPhone 6 by using her upgrade (I had a 4S also, and now I still have it) - that was Jan. 18th. Anyway - they basically hot-boxed me into getting her on the $27 a month plan which gets the price up to $648 over 2 years. I complained - but they just talked over me like I was an idiot. Eventually I caved in due to trying to get my daughter ready for her trip (time constraints).

    I have no respect for them -- they will bait and switch, they will outright lie, and they will cheat you if they can... with no remorse. The salespersons are treated rather harshly by managers I'm told, as well. They need to be reigned in because they obviously are taking advantage of their duopoly with Verizon on Mobile and Oligopoly in TV and Internet. Congress needs to hear from us. I would absolutely recommend a class action against them. I will report back in a few days as to whether the "repair" was another tactic to get me into buying another service... I am confident it is such, though.

    There is way too much that needs to be said about Uverse. First, let me start by saying that I transferred service back in February 2015 because we were moving. Well, they helped me to complete my transfer over the phone, and even helped me to get started with a few promotional items, or so I thought. Two days prior to moving, they shut off my cable and internet. I called them up and they stated that they cut me off because I cancelled service. That's not true because I transferred service, not cancelled. Those two words have different meanings in my dictionary. Anyway, after holding on the phone with them for 3 hours, they finally got everything straighten out. Or so I thought. I was told that I needed to pay a $500 deposit as a new customer because my service was canceled. News flash: I didn't cancel my service!!

    So after going through the motions again for another 2 hours, they finally agreed to waive the "new customer" fee. Really?? Because it was not my intention to become a new customer, Uverse made me become a new customer. Cutting to the chase, we move in and everything is running smoothly. Until I wake up one morning and have to reboot the entire modem and router. Doesn't sound like a bad thing, until I found myself doing this every other morning before work. So I call them up again to complain about the rebooting of the system. They agreed to send a tech out to set up a new modem. The new modem seemed to be working fine, until I get home from work to cut on the tv and discover that the receiver needs to be restarted "again". What else is new at this point?

    I go into the living room to restart the modem, only to discover that there are no lights on the modem at all!! The thing would not turn on. It was plugged in and everything. I even switched outlets, still nothing. So I immediately call Uverse, they go through all the motions "again". I finally snapped!! I had a Kanye West type of temper tantrum. I had to vent and who better to take it out on than the source. After all of the crap Uverse has put me through since moving to my new residence nearly 3 months ago, the most they could do was give me a ** $10 credit and a technician to come out in 48 hours. Really???!!! That's it, after all of the ** ups, that's the best they could do. My question to them was, "Why is my service so crappy when there are techs swarming my neighborhood everyday?" Their answer was, "You can tap on their window and see if they can help you." Really Uverse??!! Three days without cable or internet over a faulty modem... smh!!

    Relocated my business to a new location. Surprised only carrier covers that area is AT&T, with no more option. Open an account with them for DSL internet (only service available). This is Feb. 26. On Feb. 28 got internet connected, and the problem began for the landline. March 6, an AT&T rep told us, "In order to get the port of the line finalized we needed to cancel our account with the other carrier." Of course we did it! After 40 days with no phone and talking to different reps (one time, talked to a manager who gave me email and phone number to contact directly, 20 days, several emails and voice mails, no answer), finally the fifth technician that came told us, "That was an easy process," and next day got the phone working. This is April 28...finally got everything working!

    Then on May 10 one morning internet did not work. Called customer service and we have told that "Somebody cancel our account," that he opened an emergency ticket and we should wait for a call. Of course nobody calls. Next day talked to a different rep that told us our account never existed!!! Talked to different reps that told us the same. Today is May 18. Finally can talk to the first rep who found our account cancelled. Told us he would help us getting to the correct department but after more than an hour with him on the line and getting transferred from one department to another the call dropped and no one call us back. In resume, almost 80 days and no problem resolved. Frustrated is a small word of how I feel right now!!

    I have had U-verse for almost 2 1/2 years now. I am moving to a new house and needed to transfer my service. The first time I talked to an agent about it, he told me U-verse was not available at that address. I was bummed, but understood. I needed internet at the new house ASAP so I found another provider and paid them and scheduled an installation with them. The very next day I talked to another AT&T agent about cancelling because it wasn't available and what do you know? U-verse was somehow now available at the new location after just one day. But, since I had already signed up and paid another provider I told the agent I still needed to cancel. She proceeded to keep offering me deals, but I told her multiple times no because I had already paid someone else.

    This went back and forth at least four times until I finally had to say: "Cancel my service now. Please." So she tells me she's not able to do that and gives me a number to call. Luckily, I did not close out of our conversation because the number she gave me would not allow me to talk to anyone and told me to call my provider directly. I told her that exact thing and she said: "Well, the line is just busy, try again in 15 minutes." After arguing with her about that she finally gave me another number to call and guess what? The office was closed and I'd have to call again the next day. What an amazing waste of time and awful experience this gave me with AT&T. And because of this, I will never ever use them again.

After that, monthly bills varied as much as $20 even though I never stream or buy pay per view. Excuses were everything from tax increases to that promotion ended, even though if I quit the service, I'd have to pay a huge termination fee.

When we moved we called AT&T and was told that since the equipment was so old, that we did not have to return it. We were also told we would receive a credit for the balance of the month we had already paid (about $27.00).

    We received a statement that showed the credit we were due. The next month we received another statement showing we owed them $169.98 (showing the credit eaten up by the charge) because we did not return the equipment.

    We spent over 30 minutes on the phone with ** who just kept repeating his script that even if we returned the equipment we would still owe the charges because we did not return it in time. I demanded to speak to a supervisor who basically kept repeating the same script. I told the supervisor, **, that I was recording the conversation so I could use it in court if necessary. So, this is not about the equipment at all. They don't care if they get it back, they still want money for NOTHING! Their website says if we take the equipment to UPS that they will scan it in their system so AT&T knows it is there, and then the equipment will be destroyed (NOT RETURNED).

    This is nothing but a SCAM. Please be warned that if you do business with AT&T you are dealing with liars and thieves. My wife and I are eyewitnesses and we have video recording of our conversation, with the audio to prove what was said. I even pointed out to them that I was surprised they were willing to say those things out loud even if it were their policy.

Since I use to high speed of internet and non interrupter service from different providers in a different locations I was surprise when agent offered me low speed saying (like I am an idiot): "This is very fast". Price was much high for what was offered. Since I am not an idiot I could not believe that I have to agree with this BS. I tried to get different service but looks like this building was monopolized by AT&T. However I was able to sign up online for fraction of the cost offered by agent. It is a scam I say. I was not able to get offered by other companies speed. AT&T is far behind the rest of the world on this subject and agents are talking to clients like to children not knowing anything.

    Other part was when technician showed up. He was trying to convince me that I need cable run from one end to the other even that building has all in walls. Since I know more about it than average I forced the technician to do a proper testing.. I need to show him how. So technician took my suggestions and after having many issues with it was more less done. About 2 hours later. Then I wish I never moved to this building just because this AT&T service is not acceptable. Interruption on TV program specially using Netflix is just sick. Internet is up and down but mostly slow and broken many times a week. I never got an explanation or fixed it. I rather not to ask for help hoping that I will move out soon and never need to be stuck with AT&T.

    For the past 3 yrs I have complained to AT&T about my wifi. I pay on time every month, but my wifi works only 10 to 20 days per month. I am a senior citizen and I now know how it feels to be misused and abused by big business. My area only has AT&T wifi or I would have changed companies (DISH) by now.

    I called AT&T to cancel home phone but keep wireless and internet. When the bills, yes plural, began to arrive, I found that the total of my bills for wireless and internet exceeded that of the combined bill. By the way, they also lowered the cost of my wireless to be more competitive. They also switched me to Uverse. When I called to question the bills, I was passed around from wireless to internet to home phone with each saying I had to call the other services. I went around the cycle twice on two different occasions and never got an answer.

    AT&T had the audacity to call and ask if I was pleased with their service. I ended all services with AT&T - had been with them for over 20 years. Internet service was never good, DSL was very slow. When I called to complain - many years ago - I was told that I was at the end of the line and when traffic was heavy, service would be slow. They even lowered the cost since I was not getting "high speed". With time, as more people upstream from me got DSL, the service became slower to the point that at times I didn't have access. When they offered to switch me to Uverse, the salesman said my service would be better. It wasn't, it was worse.

    When I called to complain, they had no answers. So I cancelled. I was charged $165 for early termination. There was no one to complain to. If you're looking for a wireless, internet or home phone provider, don't use AT&T. They're OK until there is a problem and they have no desire to help solve it. I was on Sprint wireless previously (20 years ago) but we didn't get good reception where I lived in those days. I called to tell them that, they apologized and suggested I get another provider. They cancelled my contract with no charge to me. As you can guess, I'm back with Sprint and it's been great.

    Worst customer service I've ever encountered. We just moved from Oklahoma to California. We had spoke with ATT before moving and they said all we had to do was call and transfer - there would be no additional charges etc. Well we get here Sunday, call Monday and of course the last barely speaks English. First tries to have us start new service and charge us a 400 dollar deposit, then says it's 100 to start the service at our new house. Um, no. Finally she agrees to "waive the fee" and says service will be turned on Tuesday morning at 8am. Of course it wasn't. Spent 3 hours on the phone with customer service, again, to be told well maybe it just hasn't been turned on, "Wait a few hours & try again". Still not working so we're back on the phone AGAIN trying to get it turned on.

    In the mean time our cell phone bill is now higher because we went over our data because we're unable to use wifi because of this. No one can give us answers or tell us whether or not the service is active or not.

    Minus 10 stars -- I made the mistake of changing over to Uverse internet after being with AT&T DSL for 20 years with no problems. As soon as the Uverse was changed over every day -- every single day -- it goes down for 2 or 3 minutes at a time intermittently every single day and all day, over and over -- every single day and all day long.

    I have been a loyal customer with ATT for over twenty years, pay the bill on time and in full. Over the last five years the service ATT has is terrible. When contacting customer service the customer service representative spends over ten minutes asking me questions and not answering the one question I called about in the first place. It seems that no information is in the computer screen regarding who I am. No information is missing when ATT sends a bill however. ATT has absolutely no regard for the trouble and inconvenience they put their customers through. Welcome to corporate America. Business is so much better when you have choices to choose from, makes a company try harder to keep a customer happy therefore having a job. ATT has forgotten why they are in business. Customers make your business, keeping them happy results in a great review..

    I initially signed up with them because I was over dealing with Comcast. I regretted this decision from the start. The person I signed up with gave me a higher plan on his own while telling me I was getting what I asked for. Then the first day it arrives the Internet was very spotty and the HD channels would take 2 or 3 seconds to auto correct from standard to HD. I gave it three days and decided I wanted out of this deal and cancelled my account so I can crawl back to Xfinity. I called up and cancelled which was easy enough. Returned the equipment and lo and behold, a month later I have a bill for $210 which I owe none of. The AT&T csr admitted I didn't owe the bill but since it takes their computers over a month to update..... this I cannot believe...... I should pay it before it goes to collections and then I'll be refunded. The heck is wrong with these people!!! Stay away.

    I attempted to pay my Uverse bill online this morning, but was getting a message to contact my bank because the payment did not go through. My bank is Chase and there is plenty of money in my account. I called AT&T and after talking to a computer for quite a while I finally got through to customer service. The customer service person tried to put my payment through and got an error message that told her that the system was and had been down for several hours. And I should try back in an hour. I tried back in an hour and it was still down. I tried back online several hours later and it would not accept my debit card. This is the same debit card I have used for over two years.

    I finally called AT&T and got through to a customer service agent. And she said that she wasn't aware of the online payment system being down and took my info and the system accepted my debit card. And I was charged $5.00 for the service. AT&T has the worst customer service of any company I have ever dealt with. It is trickle down from the top from the CEO to the customer service clerks. AT&T is too big to manage by the incompetent management team that they have in place, yet they make money although, a lot of it is made through deceptive practices.

    We have had Bright House for about 10 years and made the mistake of moving to AT&T Uverse. What a nightmare. DIRECTV was installed 1st. When I first made the call I was told there was no contract except they would not raise our bill for 12 months. They said we qualified for free Installation, but I would have to pay $28.86 which I authorized they could take that one time fee only off our credit card. We had DIRECTV for 8 days and phone and internet for 5 days at which time I woke up to no internet and phone which they had turned off. I am disabled and must have a phone. They did not seem to care and due to an address discrepancy they could not turn it back on until someone came out here.

    Prior to this problem and during trying to get someone in the USA or someone who spoke English took hours. A few days later after becoming frustrated and telling them to shut it all off, we received a bill for an early termination fee totaling over $500. We immediately called our credit card company and told them not to pay it but somehow they got around it and our credit card company paid which in turn to protect our credit, we paid it. We are considering taking this to court. If anyone out there has had a similar problem please reply if you would also like to get involved. Here is some advice. Get everything they say in writing.

The internet was soo slow and terrible we canceled within 5 days and had Cox internet service installed (which is much much faster than Uverse). We received another bill on October 11th so we contacted AT&T to notify them of the error. They said the reason was because we hadn't returned our equipment yet but were assured we would not be billed anything once they received their equipment back. We sent the equipment back and now we have a collection agency calling every day wanting $400 from us. We've tried several times to resolve this since we shouldn't have to pay anything for a couple days of crappy service, each time we think it's going to be resolved, a collection agency calls us days later.

    I just spent the last hour dealing with ** at AT&T and his supervisor **. Neither one of them actually listened to my complaints, they just repeat whatever terms were in the contracts and that we have to pay them $400. ** actually didn't listen to one word that I had to say and just talked over me the entire time and then hung up on me once she finished what she had to say while I was asking her a question!

Then he said I should have mailed a check when I ordered the service for $100.00 to cover any fees for the account that would be closed??

    I have started with AT&T sometime ago with a internet product they mislead it me with. Yes they return my funds but it still was a problem. It took them over 3 to 4 months to send my refund. Okay, so I forgive this strike one, and continue to do business with them only if they were Honest and up front. Okay for a few years they was pretty up front with me and I respect that because I am a outspoken person and straightforward and was very honest with AT&T. They sent me a offered promotion.

    I spoken with one of the salesperson who was promoting U-verse TV along with a gift card $175.00. I was mislead and was told that I would only pay 159.00 that Included with the service. I had internet and land line home phone along with their promotion, U-verse TV, 159.00 a month. I ask her, "Will this remain the same each month?" I also told her that if this bill is over $200 month that I can't afford it. She assure me that it would be no more than 159.00 a month. I got a bill saying that I old previous balance $443.49 dollars. I call them back again to find out why I have to pay for something that wasn't in the the first-time agreement. I spoken with one of their billing dept and explain what happen so she told me I had to pay $180.00 to get out of their contract. So damn if I do and damn if I don't.

    I am on a fixed income and I told them that if it's over 200 a month I can't afford it. I have made my payment on time every month. I feel that this was so wrong when I have always been up front with AT&T. I feel trick both time now. They telling me I now old $601.00 behind. Their department promotions sale on U-verse TV who mislead me to believing all I had to pay is $159.00 a month, no more, no less. Unfortunate I couldn't pay the $180.00 nor $443.49 so by AT&T already nothing, this after I told them that I can't afford anything over $200.00 and up. I was sacrificing $159.00 for my grandchildren that I am getting custody of. They knew about this as well. I told them that I can't go beyond my means.

    On the 04/07 AT&T took out $353.49 new charges, $248.11, and a Total Amount Due $601.60 due in full. This was wrong from the beginning. It's called con's and pro's. AT&T has locked me out my account. I was viewing payment history after I had to find all of my confirmation dates and voice recording during the time we spoken each time was recorded by my voice's recording and there's as well. This is wrong, unfair and deceiving. After AT&T took out my debit card the sum of $353.49 after I explained honestly to them that there no way I can pay for anything over 200, they reissued me that it wouldn't be over 200.00. Now I'm paying for their mistake. Either way it goes I feel taking advantaged of trick and misuse. If I come to you honest and truthful and straightforward to you, why deceive me and causing financial crisis into my life by lies and deceit and tricks?

    Anyone who done business with me will tell you that I am straightforward and honest with you. About how far I can go people like this what make unwanted financial that I struggle from, business people like you who lie and deceive and causing me a financial credit debits crisis. It don't matter with AT&T anyway. They can get money even if they don't keep their promise. You can call them. They don't want honestly and faithful payers. Honest still people like myself who on a fixed income and try to stay within their means. But people like AT&T don't care. They prove that to me once again for a few years they stay up front with me. Payments was made on time. They were happy and I was okay.

    But this time again they are still unfair and have the nerve to take my money anyhow, when I need my funds. I got my grandchildren coming but still they choose to not hear their customer, even if you being truthful and straightforward and honest, and this is how they repay honest, paying people who real upfront with them. Now they taking my funds out of my card. For what? For being honest and truthful that you decide me and trick me financial, then hit me with me $180.00 dollars to get out of your contract, when it should of been drop free of charge due to your misleading.

    So damn if I do and damn if I don't. I don't feel like I should have to pay these charges. I didn't lie to you nor deceive you. All you have to do is go back to your recording that you record each time we have talk and not one time will you hear lies nor deceit from out of me. I'm so sick and tired of business people like you. It unfair and deceiving and wrong to misuse and financial hurt anyone when time after time I have been honest and truthful with AT&T. This should of never got to this point when you was told from the beginning I can't afford anything over $200.00. I'm doing good to keep my bills managed up until this mishandling and deceiving sales offered promotions. This happened a few years back with me and AT&T on a sales promotions that was done in their office. But they refund my money.

    Now here we go again with another offered promotion that turn out just as wicked as this offered promotion. Both same lies, tricks, deceiving. This need to stop. Making a living off of deceiving others then charge me behind your doing, not mine. Go though their voice recording and you will see that I said what I'm state in if you tell me you don't know. Just go back and listen. I don't feel that I should have to pay for something I already made clear of I can not afford anything over $200.00, not one time but many times. I have told AT&T this -- just check their recording, that what they say this conversation will be record.

    I'm so piss off and upset. Another stress I never ask for AT&T. This is unfair. When I came to talk with you the second time, you still was charging me to get out of your misleading and deceiving contract. This is not fair, misleading and deceiving and wrong. They are charging me $49.00 for 28 days after interruption after I told him that I can not afford anything over $200.00. I sufficed $159.00. This is what AT&T told me the very first time during their offered promotion U-verse TV add-on.

    I was a long time customer of AT&T's internet services. I had DSL with them for years and was fairly happy with my services. Now, without getting into the details specific to my situation - I had do an account switch over for both my home phone and internet. I figured that, while I was doing this account switch over, I would go ahead and upgrade my DSL from 3mbps to 6mbps, as offered by the customer service representative I spoke to. For the account switch over to take place and for my internet to be upgraded, my internet and home phone had to be shut off for 24 hours in order to initiate the change. I was fine with that. So my order for the account switch over and upgraded internet commenced. I will spare the details - but this 24 hours turned into an 11 day ordeal.

    I did not have home phone service for two days and internet for a full 10 days. I kept getting various excuses from customer service representatives as to why my home phone and internet had not returned in the promised 24 hour time frame and lies about when my internet and home phone services would return. When my both services did return - while my home phone was fine, my internet was much slower than I was promised it would be, and much slower than what I had in the first place.

    I was told that the fastest speed they could offer me on DSL was 756kps because they were switching everything over to Uverse. When I asked about their Uverse speeds, they told me the fastest they could offer me was 756kps (read: upgraded, "faster" network running slower than the "outdated" DSL service I had? Really?). They also told me they could not give me the original speed of 3mbps I had on DSL, despite having it 11 days prior, and that I was stuck on 756kbps.

    I decided to switch over to another ISP which had me set up with much faster internet immediately at around the same price I would have paid AT&T, and cancelled my internet service with AT&T. I will never return to AT&T internet services. I strongly urge anyone considering getting AT&T internet to stay away from them.

The first month I get 3 bills from AT&T and still AT&T demands "past due" charges! The latest bill I have shows a past due amount of $48.13 to be paid immediately in addition to the monthly charge and the last installment of installation charge. I will NEVER again have AT&T.

    On Wednesday, April 22, I ordered AT&T U-verse High-Speed Internet Business Edition Max. It took me a couple of phone calls to get to the right person who was able to place an order for a small business high-speed Internet line. I was excited to switch from Comcast cable and get onto AT&T's fiber-optic service. I was expecting that I'd be able to get better system performance and even save money. After 45 minutes on the phone with a sales rep, he had taken down all my information, and after listening to him go through multiple legal disclosures that apparently he was required to read, my order was set up. He also told me about an "All for Less Package" that I could have for $10 extra a month, that would give me a voice line that could replace an existing line I had with another service. I was thrilled.

    Soon after I got off the phone with him, I received e-mails from AT&T confirming the two separate orders; one for the Internet, and the other for the phone line. He was supposed to, as he promised, port over my existing phone number to my new AT&T voice line. Instead, the e-mail told me that I was getting a new phone number. I called the only phone number listed on all of the e-mails: AT&T Web Sales Center, 888-908-2895. I explained that the person who put the order in seem to have mistakenly forgot to set it up to port my existing number over and that I did not want to set up a new phone number with the AT&T line. That person immediately canceled the order for the phone line, but was not able to set up the phone line order correctly. For that, I had to call somebody else AT&T, in the "Small Business Winback" department at 877.343.7360.

    I was out of time, I had to go out of town for 24 hours. When I got back on Thursday morning I called the Winback department. The person who answered couldn't help me. They said I needed to speak to my sales rep, the person who had placed the order for me. I told the Winback person I had no idea who my sales rep was, he hadn't given me his name, his phone number, and the multiple e-mails that I received from AT&T gave only the central number for AT&T Web Sales Center. I had both my order numbers, I had my account number, nevertheless, the person at Winback was unable to find the name of my sales rep. The Winback person said I needed to call the AT&T Web Sales Center to find out then name of my sales rep and to get them to resolve the problem.

    I called the AT&T Web Sales Center. I spoke with a very nice woman who said she would try her best to find out who my sales rep was. I gave her my account number and order numbers. She put me on hold for a few minutes and came back and said she was still checking. She did this a second time. She said she was trying her best. Again she put me on hold while she tried to find the name of my sales rep. After I was on hold for 25 minutes finally I heard the phone ringing through. I was hopeful that my sales rep was about to pick the phone up. No such luck. I had been placed back into the start of some AT&T automated system and it was prompting me to provide my phone number. Well I didn't have an AT&T phone number by this point so I hung up and redialed the AT&T Web Sales Center, hoping to get to a human being who could tell me the name and phone number for my sales rep.

    I got a human being but they couldn't help me either. They said I needed to call "Retention" at 866.295.7362. I called Retention and they told me that I needed to call the Winback department. At this point I decided enough is enough, I'm not doing business with this company. The Internet service had not yet been installed. Needless to say, it took another two hours of getting bumped around from department to department, placed again on a terminal hold, for me to cancel and get a refund of my deposit.

    ** said she could cancel my Internet but I would have to call "Customer Service" to "find out how" to get my deposit back. I called ** in "Customer Service" and he said, no, ** had not cancelled my Internet but he assured me that he did. Still, I had to call the California business office at 800.311.2000 to get my deposit back. Eventually, **, who took my call there, assured me that my Internet order had been canceled. He also told me that my card had not yet been charged. Everyone I spoke with, including ** were very polite and courteous. Yet, this was the most tortuous customer experience I've ever had in my life.

    Had AT&T phone service for many years, and eventually cancelled due to their ever increasing bill and terrible service. Very happy with Verizon now.

    The DSL... well, that is a battle we have been fighting for THREE YEARS. Unfortunately, AT&T is the only one which services our neighborhood. They seem to know that they have a monopoly and therefore don't care about the deplorable service they provide. We have very frequent outages and ISP errors that force immediate browser resets which is extremely problematic when you do work or school from home. We also have extremely slow internet. We pay almost $60/month for 3mbps download, and we NEVER see those speeds. In fact, we average about 1mbps, and often less. Yet after dozens of tech support calls (all of which last at least an hour), and several support visits to our address, AT&T can find no problem with our house and always talks their way out of it (well, the facility in so and so town is having problems, sorry).

    AT&T is unable to provide us with the service we pay for. I am preparing a civil suit against them. I have run out of time on college tests because of the slow internet (over 2 minutes to load a text only page? REALLY?!), have missed out on phone calls and Skype calls with my husband while deployed (sadly, his internet in a war zone 3rd world country is better than our house! ), and countless other issues conducting business online. AT&T is stealing money from us and lowering our standard of living. I will not take it anymore.

    Where do I start? Ok so installation is horrible. They had to come twice and stay 6 hours each time. In 1 yr we had to stay home from work and meet them 5 times. Every big rain storm would make our Uverse go out. The box broke one month after we got it. They never told us our wifi password. Left us with wrong channel guide for our city. The price was okay AT FIRST. Then next thing we knew we were getting bills for near double our starter bills.

    Customer service is the worst part of Uverse. I had someone tell me they could lower my bill and get me more services also. Sounded too good to be true and it was! I started getting very high bills. I called and although our conversation was recorded they acted as if I wasn't told that. Supervisor said he'd listen to the recording and call me back in 72 hours. A week later I still heard nothing back. I knew I was told that so I called them back. Another customer service rep said there was no documents notes that I had spoken to anyone in at least 3 months and no one was suppose to be calling me back. Ha! Then offered to drop my bill $10 although it went up $100. Then tried to sell me something before letting me go. What a joke! I dumped them! Still worried about that last bill they are about to send me.

    We have bundled AT&T & DirecTV service, and dealing with them on any issue is a nightmare. Although service was established through AT&T, if any issues arise (which several have) the customer must contact AT&T for their services and contact DirecTV for their services. Neither can see what the other one has on file, so when it is an issue that concerns both companies, it has taken literally hours worth of phone calls to resolve the issue. I would never contract these services again, and advise anyone looking to use these companies to contract the services separately. The bundle price is not worth the hours spent on the phone.

For that I response "Why", because they have not complied with the contract? And just said this is the process... and I disagree with that answer.

    Our company has been AT&T Uverse customers for over two years. For the most part the service has been great and in our area we don't have any other real option. We began experiencing some service issues and requested a tech come out and assess our modem. The tech determined that the modem needed to be replaced. I just received my bill and there is a "high speed internet equipment fee" that will be a recurring charge monthly. I called customer service and asked how a company can increase my bill with a monthly recurring charge without informing me of the fee. After dealing with two people in billing I was referred to tech services and informed that there was nothing billing could do and any changes would need to be made by tech services.

    I asked the supervisor if they could extend my payment due date until there was some resolution and billing informed me they were unable to extend my payment due date, that any extension would have to come from tech services. The supervisor of the tech who failed to inform me of the new AT&T policy was supposed to contact me within 15 minutes and never called me. The next day I called customer service again, spoke with another billing "manager" and was informed again there was nothing they could do that tech services would be the only ones able to make a change.

    I finally speak to a tech services "resolution expert" and he agrees that since I wasn't informed of the fee there had to be something that could be done. He was going to transfer me back to billing and I told him that billing was unable to do anything to help me. A few minutes later he comes back on the phone and confirms that billing is unable to do anything and essentially I have no other recourse but deal with AT&T increasing my bill without informing me. I can't believe that AT&T is going to charge me $10 a month indefinitely for at MOST a hundred dollar modem. I will be researching what other internet company's service my area and switching service regardless of the price.

    Extremely dissatisfied with this AT&T U-verse so far. It took me 3 calls over 2 months and 10 people who barely speak English to get my billing corrected because I originally was being billed for more than I ordered. I called last month and asked for it to be changed so my bill is always due on the first and despite the woman saying it was done it obviously wasn't. Then I moved and things have gotten worse. The person I moved in with had U-verse already but she was still under the 30-day refund period so it was decided that I would transfer my service and she would cancel hers.

    So we called AT&T and were told hers would be cut off the morning of my installation. Well today was supposed to be my installation but due to what AT&T coined as an "Outside facility issue" it was delayed. They still cut off my roommate's internet leaving us with my mobile hotspot for internet service until they install mine. My roommate called to get hers cut back on since it shouldn't have been cut off anyway since they weren't installing mine today. And AT&T being the greedy money grubbers they are told her she'd need to pay an installation fee and a deposit. This was THEIR mistake. Nothing she or I did caused the service install to be delayed.

    Then I got on the phone and asked for a date of when my install would be and was originally told that when the issue was fixed I would be called to reschedule. Then I told the guy my roommate was talking to a supervisor and suddenly he and his French accent started kissing my **. I was suddenly told that the issue was fixed and they had scheduled installation between 4 and 8 tonight. Then at 6:06 I got a message saying "Sorry we couldn't complete the install today." So I called back and was told the installation is now scheduled for tomorrow between 4 and 8.

    This is completely wrong and AT&T better show up tomorrow. I'm sick of paying for a service I'm not able to use and I have to depend on internet for school and income so being limited to my mobile hotspot for 2 days is a major inconvenience. Hours have been spent today dealing with AT&T's barely English speaking representatives and it has accomplished very little other than making me more and more dissatisfied with the service.

    On April 14, 2015 I called AT&T to negotiate a new plan since my contract was about to expire and they were going to raise my monthly bill $53. I spoke to the agent and after 30 minutes of negotiating we agreed on a triple play package for $145 with a 1-year contract and an early cancelation fee of $187. This package included keeping the fast internet, upgrade from the U300 package to the U450 package and add home phone service. I told the agent that we had never had a home phone but may want to activate this at a later time. The agent said the package was the best deal and since we were going to be paying for it I could activate it at any time. Before we ended the conversation I had the agent repeat the package and monthly cost to me and was told that I would also receive an e-mail confirming all of the changes. I never received an e-mail nor order number.

    On April 16, 2015 I called to activate the home phone service and was told they didn't see that option for me and to contact Sales the next day. On April 17, 2015 I called sales to see why the home phone option was not available to me and they said that I declined the triple play package so I only signed up for fast internet and the U450 package. I asked them what my monthly cost was and they said $150 per month with early termination fee of $187. I told them that this was incorrect and that I had signed up for the triple play package for $145 and this needed to be honored and they said that package was no longer available to me. I had to demand to speak with a supervisor who immediately started the conversation stating the AT&T agent was correct and there is nothing they can do for me.

    They said an e-mail was sent out to me and their records showed that I had declined the triple play package and agreed to the package that did not include phone service and at a higher monthly price. I demanded to speak to someone else and was sent to customer loyalty. This person told me there was never a triple play package available for $145 and that if I were a new customer then the triple play package would be $154 but since I'm an existing customer that the triple play package for me would be $164.

    After spending 2 hrs on the phone and speaking with 3 different people I agreed to a $60 credit and keeping the package that I had. I had no choice but to agree or pay the early termination fee. I received an e-mail today stating that I signed up for a free receiver for 12 months and an early termination fee of $108. I never received an order number and I'm not able to confirm in writing anywhere what plan I'm actually signed up for. This activity really should be investigated.

I called at&t back and informed them of my conference with Samsung. So then at&t told me to turn my tv off and back on again and like magic my tv started connecting.

    Now at&t does not work on weekends or can you get any tech support. You guessed it, it only happens on the weekend when you have the time to watch netflix or use the internet.

    AT&T U-verse is the biggest waste of time and money that I have ever encountered. I have had the service for about 3 months now and I was tired of it after 2 days. We started out with the 3 mbps plan and realized that it definitely wasn't enough for what I needed to do. We upgraded to the 6 mbps plan, which should be more than enough for two people, but it wasn't enough. Now at any given time our highest speed is 2.5 mbps. Now, I've worked for many internet companies, so I know that when they say "up to 3" or "up to 6," that's just your max. You're not always going to get what they tell you, and I understand that. But when you're paying for 6 megs and you're not even receiving 3, you can understand how frustrating that is.

    So we called the customer service line and they said it might be a problem with the modem. They sent us a new one. Same problems. We called again. This time he told us to reset the modem with the tiny button on the back. That didn't work. Then he told us to complete unplug every cord to the back of the modem and wait for about a min. and then plug them back in. I did. Once the modem booted back up, he said, "Ok, from where I'm sitting, it looks like that fixed the problem. You should definitely be getting the speeds that you're paying for now." He proceeded to apologize for the problems and ask if I needed anything else and then got off the line.

    Afterwards I tried to watch Netflix for a little bit before work and it wouldn't load. It would load to 25% and wouldn't budge. So I used the meg reader on my laptop to check my internet speeds... I was receiving 1 mbps. The chart on the reader said that I had been receiving 1 mbps for the past three hours. So either customer service lied to me to get me off the phone, or they have faulty equipment. When you work with internet you can't have faulty equipment. Your equipment should always be working or at least have a backup. Honestly, I always thought it would be extreme difficult to find an internet service that was worse than Hughes Net, but I have definitely been proven wrong.

If I wait all day to see a five minute spot, my TV will inevitably freeze at that moment. No exaggeration. And the on demand services carry NOTHING. Wanna see the last two episodes of a show you've been watching for five years because you had other plans? Forget it, not happening. They carry up to the last two episodes so you're screwed. If there are ten episodes, after the show ends you can get up to only episode 8. The movies suck too so their contracts are weak.

    When trying to make contact by telephone, it is ridiculous. You cannot speak to a person, you must listen to recorded messages. After three attempts and 30 minutes later, I finally get to speak to live person. My line has been laying ON TOP OF THE GROUND for SIX MONTHS. I have called three times to get this scheduled. In October I was told it would be buried but it is still ON TOP OF THE GROUND now in mid-April. We cannot mow and it is an eyesore.

    I contacted AT&T to inquire what it would cost to switch from DirecTV to U-verse TV service. I was given a price that was half of my DirecTV bill and two separate "reward" cards so it seemed like a no-brainer to switch. When I asked how the price was so low, the rep told me that AT&T wants to keep customers happy with low pricing. So she called DirecTV with me on the line to cancel that service and scheduled the U-verse install.

    You can imagine my shock when I got a bill for over $400! I called right away and was told that the price I was given didn't exist, so the call was to be pulled and reviewed with a callback to me within 72 hours... never happened. I called DirecTV and they told me the service was never cancelled and that is why AT&T billed me double, for two months of DirecTV and U-verse?!? Dreading having to call AT&T for the third time regarding this because I know I am just going to get the run-around and be transferred to multiple departments with no resolve!

    We called to order service on Saturday 4-4-15. The girl recommended a package and said she would email me the information. Set up a install for 4-9-15. Said it would be between 11am and 1 PM. Never received the email after calling back several times. 4-9-15 I took time off work and the technician showed up right at 11. He then informed me the install would take up to 8 hours and he would have run a temporary line on the ground to my house. I was not told any of this. I called customer service and was transferred 5 times and hung up on 3 times. Was on the phone on hold and being transferred for an hour and a half. I told him when he finished running the wire I did not take that much time off work. He said he could come back at 5 which was fine. So at 8:30PM we finally had service.

    On the 10th I came home from work and did not have any service. I called customer service and this time I spend almost an hour on hold and was transferred another 5 times. At least this time they did not hang up on me. They told me an outside technician would be at my home from 8 AM till 8PM on the 11th. About 11:30 on the 11th a van pulled up in front of our house and a technician was on the side of the house for about 45 minutes and then left. Never came to the door. Still no service.

    Then at 1:30 another technician showed up and informed me he was here to fix the problem. I told him about the first technician and he did not know anything about it. He fixed the problem. It seems the line that was laid on the ground someone had run over with a lawn mower. So at 3PM we had service. Then on the 12th at 5PM the service went out again. I called and was on hold for 45 minutes before I was informed I would have to be home between 8AM and 11AM for a technician to come out and find out why we lost service.

    If you are thinking of using AT&T TV and Internet service, run away. Run far far away. They don't know what they are doing. I have never in my life experienced such a horrible ordeal. I was a service manager for an electrical company and I would never have treated even my worst customer this way. Furthermore I would never have allowed this type of installation to happen.

    My wife and I applied for AT&T U-verse 5 months ago when we first arrived in Florida. At that time, we were quoted a price of $152.00. We were never told that this did not include taxes. We never received a bill under $180.00 and therefore went to the AT&T office to attempt to straighten out this problem. Spoke with their representative and after getting rid of certain things that we did not use, we were told that at a price of $7.00 per month we would receive SNY and the YES channel.

    My husband is a Mets fan and I am a Yankee fan. However, it seems that when they are playing, all of the games are blocked out. Because of this we spoke with AT&T again and were told that our latest bill would be $244.00 because we dropped the bundle package. The representative did not mention this to us and in fact they represented that we would receive the Yankees and the Mets. However, they must have laughed at us after we left as they had to know that the games would be blocked out. NO BILL HAS BEEN IN THE SAME AMOUNT AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCUSE.

    Made 3 service requests to AT&T re: problems with my home phone (POTS) line having periodic bouts of hollow sound with clicking noises often resulting in lost call. 3 visits later… They are unable to find a problem. Last visit at 8 AM Saturday, followed at 10:30 AM with a visit from the U-verse guy to upgrade Internet speed. By @ 3:30 PM, told line has to be changed and line people would arrive within 2 hours. At 6:30 got a call, intended for the tech, saying they were working on it and would be finished shortly. At @ 7 PM, I noticed I had no phone service. Tried to remain patient and give them time to finish.

    By 9:30, I am getting more concerned as I have no phone, internet, burglar alarm, etc. Thought I should call to follow up. Which is when I was informed my "repair/installation had been suspended until tomorrow"! No call, no text, no email, no information, no nothing. At least, the guy who came Saturday morning was proceeded by an email late Friday evening notifying me they had no intention of keeping the appointment scheduled for Friday morning and that they were coming on Saturday. It is now Sunday morning and I have to go to work. So who knows when I will have phone or Internet service again. I have given up on AT&T. I am tired of paying the highest fees for slow/poor quality products and service that is so low on the scale, it is almost unmeasurable.

    This is the third time to have a scheduled appointment just moved or rescheduled without notice or communication. On one of those, the tech actually called and informed me he was going through his assigned jobs to take next and thought mine might take too long because he wanted to be off on time, so someone else would contact me. I called them the next day to be told my problem had been addressed during my service call the day before! I hate cable but that is where I am headed for Internet service. Seems the only thing AT&T is good at is making sure my private info gets to the gov. Not sure yet how to handle the Pots line problem as VOIP will not work for me. So I am looking at how to eliminate AT&T all together. ANYTHING TO NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH AT&T AGAIN.

Ever since I had Uverse service, my internet and phone service is intermittent at least 3 days a week. I can't work from home because my internet can be down for several hours at any given time. I've had several techs come out and reconfigured my setup. The internet may work OK for a couple of days, then slow down and stop working at all. I agree with other consumers.

    AT&T Uverse customer service department is misleading. I called them few month ago to downgrade or cancel my service. My wife and I hardly watch TV so I wanted to save the money. The lady I spoke to offered to upgrade my service from U300 to U450 for less money than I was paying. I agreed to give it a try for few months, the next bill was wrong and I had to call them and get it corrected. They do not have a 24 hour call center, you have to call before 7pm. The second bill was wrong again and had to call them to get it corrected.

    Finally I decided that I no longer want the service. I was informed by the retention department that I was under promotion and could not cancel without a cancellation fee; I do not remember the cancellation amount, around $150 or 160. This is not what I was told by the first lady that upgraded me. I was told to try it and if I like it and decide to keep it, they will guarantee that price for a year. When I explained this to the second lady from the retention department, she suggested that I suspend my service and pay only five dollars a month until February of 2016, so I will end up paying $50 instead of the $150 or whatever.

    I could not understand their reasoning, so I asked her, why do not I just pay the $50 and they can just cancel or suspend the service until the end of the term that I did not agree to nor was I informed of. She could not do that, so I agreed to suspend the service. As she was going through the process of suspending the service, she informed me that she could not do that because their system will not allow suspension past December, which means I have to call in December to suspend the service again or it will automatically get activated. So I asked her what is the advantage of suspension versus canceling, her response was, if I was to decide to reactivate the service again, it will resume under the promotion price that I was given and I will not have to pay for installation fee again.

    What kind of BS these guys are feeding their call centers to tell customers. They had 20303 complaints reported to the BBB. So, I was calling to cancel and they are offering me an option in case I change my mind in the future. I never had these kinds of problems from my old provider which I kept their internet service because Uverse internet service sucks. They tell you, you will get a dedicated 45Mbps that are not shared with your neighbors, but what they do not tell you is each TV in your house uses 8Mbps, so if you have three TVs, 24Mbps are used up already and what you are left with is 21Mbps to share between computer, laptop, two cell phone and an iPad or two. You will be lucky if you get 10Mbps, mine was between 5 and 6Mbps.

    Their TV service was good, my wife liked it and that was the reason I kept it and paid more money for these services because I could not take advantage of a bundle package with two service providers. ATT uses the same technique used on cell phones to lock you in on their TV and internet service, beware of their promotions over the phone, even though they say no contract, their retention department does not honor that and insist that you are under a contract and refuses to cancel your service without additional fees. My land line and cell phone has been with ATT for over twenty years and now I am thinking of switching to a local carrier that I may not be as happy with based on principle.

    In 2014, based on offered promotions and promises, I accepted a 2 year contract (via telephone) with AT&T U-verse for cable, internet and voice services. At my insistence, the agent confirmed several times that the total monthly amount would remain fixed at $177- thru the life of the contract, or until January 2016. I was also offered a $100 credit card (received) and the choice of one item; I picked the 35" TV. I confirmed with the agent that I chose the TV. I subsequently confirmed on their website that I elected the 35" TV and I believe there was one more written confirmation subsequent to that.

    When, after a few months, I called to tell them I had not yet received the promised television, I was informed that I had neglected to confirm my choice (yet again) and so I lost the chance at the promotion and it was no longer being offered, tough luck. Nowhere did I see, nor was I advised that I needed to confirm my choice of gift not only once, or twice but three and four times. Does this sound like a rip off promise, or what?

    Now, AT&T has started billing me $195+/mo, and when I call to complain that this is not the contract price, the agent advises me that the offered promotions are still effective but that other aspects, such as free box was only valid for a year and as that period has expired, they are charging $9.00 for the box. They are also charging $3.00 for TV (whatever that means) and $1.00 for something else, and in short, charging $18.00 more a month. I spent over an hour on the phone (as per usual), explaining that the agreement was a fixed monthly amount for 2 years and that, if they are going to raise fees for whatever reason, what is the point of a contract?

    The agent offered a new promotion offering a savings of $26/mo for 3 months but I kept telling her all I wanted was the same contract that we had in place that was supposed to be fixed for 2 years. No way, she said, could she remove the new charges. I did not accept this new offer because I don't want them to think they can break our contract, placate me with a new lesser offer and wash their hands off it. I feel totally abused by AT&T and am sick to death of their devious practices and deceitful policies.

    It has been 3 months since I cancelled my service with them and today I get a call from a collection agency because my AT&T u-verse bill is 90 days past due. Funny thing is they never contacted me themselves to try to collect said debt. The collection agency stated that in AT&T service agreement, they state that it is the consumer’s responsibility to contact them for the final bill. When I reminded him that I did contact AT&T when I canceled my service and asked if I owed anything else to AT&T and I was told "no you don't" by the service rep. AT&T has very poor business practices and they are breaking the law by not attempting to contact the account holder before sending a debt to collections, especially when the account holder does ask if anything else is owed and they say no.

I told her that bait and switch is illegal and I was NOT negotiating... I want what I was told in Jan.

    Apparently I was told that I was only going to get a $20.00 discount for 3 months. UMMMMMM, I don't think I would misconstrue $127.00 vs. $335.00. Needless to say I am furious and discontinued our discussion. I was not negotiating and I am NOT going to negotiate. I was told that our bill would be actually $126 and some change and I am not budging on this. This was a form of bait and switch and I told them to pull the phone records if needed otherwise I will contact the CEO RANDALL STEPHENSON and our attorneys.

Short time after adding the U-verse account, I moved to a location that was not wired for U-verse and had to cancel my account. I immediately tried to get a shipping label to mail the equipment back. However, I never received it. After 2 years of off and on trying to mail back this equipment, I tried to add a second line to my wireless account and was told I couldn't due to an outstanding balance with U-verse for equipment that was not returned. I immediately got on the phone with the U-verse department and spoke with ** who told me that all I needed was my account number to return the equipment at a UPS store. She also stated that if I called back with the tracking number, they would bypass the balance and set up my second line.

    I immediately went to the UPS store and returned the equipment. I called back to give them the tracking number and try to get this taken care of. After being on the phone for 56 minutes, I was told that I would receive a call back before 8 pm. I never received a call back. Today I checked the tracking number and noticed that the equipment had been received by AT&T and called them back. I was hung up on the first two times then once I got a hold of someone, I was told that it would take 30-60 days to credit the account in order for me to add the line. Then 5 minutes later in the call, I was told that the equipment was not returned within 120 days, so they will not be crediting my account. I asked to speak to a manager and instead she just sent me to another department.

    I was totally misinformed from the beginning and wasted a lot of my time that I should of been working. You would think that since I have been a customer since 2011, they would try and work with me. However, that has not been the case.

My first bill came to $220, I call customer service and because I was on the trial period they fix it and reduced it to $131 a month including taxes. The following month my bill went up to $146.

We are on just regular internet right now and our internet bill has went up from $39 dollars to $47 this month. Every few months it goes up one dollar and this month was $3. Might not seem like much to some people but on our limited retirement income, it is to us.. every dollar counts. Well they've been trying to switch me over to Uverse till I finally called and told the lady about the fiber optics less wires we do not have. She said she would make note of it. Called to complain about my increase and they tried to switch me to uverse like they did my daughter, she believed them and didn't know that she didn't have the lines either.. told her she couldn't go back to regular DSL after she did this.

    She lives right next door and they lied to her so they tried to pull that on me and I told them you are not listening to what I'm saying, I don't have fiber optics, therefore I cannot use Uverse.. and all I wanted is to know why this time, did the bill go up? Finally in the end he says because of stand alone internet (we have the cheapest plan) it has went up $3.00. It sounds like to me they are trying to force people on UVerse even if they don't have the needed wires for it. Trust me, we have the same old telephone lines out here we've had since we lived here. It's sad because they have a monopoly in rural areas. I am trying to find something else affordable but I don't think I'm going to be that lucky. Just had to vent.

Then charged me for both because "it is their policy to charge for both even though only one service is being provided." Threatened to send me to collections, and would not negotiate on what was owed. While I had U-verse, my internet was never "the minimum speed" they guaranteed. Many techs came out and ended up giving up, stating that it was 10 mbps and that's not far from the 18 mbps that was promised. Stay clear of lies and billing practices that rival Carmax's policies!

So we started all over again. So now I am in an agreement as what the promises were in the first call and he gave me another Conf. #. So I called DirecTV and cancelled my install on Monday. And Tuesday U-Verse install.

    SUNDAY, I get online and I read all these horror stories from people who actually let them in their front door and read a few to my husband, at that point I am saying for 3 days I have had nothing but uncertainty with this company and reviews pleading to people not get ATT. So with that, I called and cancelled everything and am just staying with my current company for the past 15 yrs. Too much crap... I just want to thank all of you people out there that had to live their nightmares and took the time to warn us that are almost ready to take the plunge. Thank YOU SO MUCH.

    I moved and requested their services (cable and high speed internet) to be transferred to my new place. Their services were transferred but apparently not the high speed internet that I was currently paying for (instead some base package Internet which I didn't want). I contacted them to complain about the internet lagging bad - whether it was my phone, computer or PS3 it didn't matter, they all were bad. Apparently (according to their customer service rep) I'm billed a month before the service is rendered. That's Kind of odd seeing how they can't predict when I would rent a movie etc.

    That's when I found out the internet service I was originally paying for was not the same now (although I was being charged about $10 less). I asked them to switch it back to what I originally had but until I pay the bill they said they wouldn't. It's very irritating especially since I've been a customer for at least the last 6 yrs. Not sure what I'm going to do, but really am considering dropping them as a provider.

    After being over charged for years with their landline and their so call 6 MB Extreme DSL service, March of this year I decided to change over to Uverse, with a promise that the installation would be waived, once by the person that signed me up, and the second time by the person I called to inquire about the charge. After spending nearly 2 hours on the phone it was discovered on my bill, that rep. saw the error and supposedly corrected it. So I thought, I should have known something was up because all she was interested in was trying to sell me more AT&T gadgets, also taking the time to look at my four cell phones accounts (which had nothing to do with my call) to see if she could get me into a better promo.

    Well here we are 4-3-15 due date, just spent another 20 minutes on the phone with another rep. What a waste of time. I see everything on your account, but I can't do nothing so I was told, however I created you a case. Boy how refreshing. Should have went with Comcast for the works, AT&T customer service sucks, push # 1 if you're a new customer, push # 2 if you think we care, push #3 and 4 we'll hang up on you, push # 5 and we'll turn your service off, and so on. Their entire system is designed to irritate customers so that they will give up and just accept whatever they give you, this company went from one of the best to the worst, seem like over night. GET COMCAST.

    For years our Uverse service was fairly good, we had several outages but they were resolved quickly. Over the past few weeks our opinion has drastically changed. After a few nights of having to reboot our modem, the service went completely down for four days. AT&T missed two appointments, and after wasting hours on the phone with their technical support the service finally came back up. It became clear yesterday that they did not do a thorough job, the service went down again and has been intermittent ever since. I explained to over five representatives that my wife works from home and relies on the Internet for her living, but apparently that had no effect on the numerous people we talked to. If you have a choice, run as fast as you can away from AT&T Uverse!

    Both my wife and myself contacted your representatives regarding the area of your service. Each time we were told by 7 different individuals you guys did not service the area where we resided. However we talked with our neighbors in the area who stated they had the service. Each time we talked with a representative we were told by that individual they would call us back. However, no one never made an attempt to call us back. Neither of our representatives appeared to have any working knowledge of the region. I have been a AT&T customer for years and I feel that I got very piss poor customer service, and I will tell all my friends about how messed up this service is.....

    Installation day... four trips to home... nothing done. Called AT&T and we both (son and myself) were repeatedly hung up on. Finally get through to set up new installation day. New installation day... comes on time... here for four hours phone, internet and TV on.... but left cable laying across the side and back of house. We were told by installer he was going to bury it... instead marked it with Orange flags, left saying nothing. Call to ask if they are going to bury cable. They offer to come out immediately. But someone must be home. So set up for today. Each time they call we get a different answer.

    Today told if cable is more than 15 feet long..... a construction crew must be called and all utilities clearly marked. They are backlogged from winter so it may be a few weeks. Also told we do not have to be home... this after my son has missed three days of work for these fools and I stayed home today for them. I will not recommend this service to anyone.... not worth the headache.

    Account # with Uverse **. I've talked to a total of 10 of their employees and NOT 1 of them knew what they were doing. They cancelled an order that I had requested 14 months after the fact. By then we had requested to simply leave all as was. Being that AT&T Uverse had already wasted hours and hours of our time, we requested they leave all as was. But then they cancel our service. We were without internet for 3 days (my husband works from home). They set up new service (on their own, we never requested this). Never told me they had to change box at home. Thank goodness my husband happened to be home, and they installed new equipment. Not the tech fault I'm sure, but again had to waste so much time resetting all. At this point in time, I've probably spend a total of 8-10 hours on the phone with representatives. Not a single one knew what they were doing, since apparently screwed things up royally. Now, they have account in my name (new account, which I did not request) with this information. Still not fixed.

    In Dec. 2012, my boyfriend and I signed-up for DirecTV and AT&T. We were told that if we bundled the two services that we would get discounts so, (naturally) we did just that. It took a few months for AT&T to complete the bundling process before we got our first combined bill. AT&T took over and double-billed us every-other month and had twice turned off our DirecTV claiming that someone contacted them saying we had canceled our subscription. After about a year, we dropped AT&T.

    Fast forward to December 2014, after growing tired of straining my eyes to use cell phones for internet use, I contacted AT&T to reconnect to the internet via my computer. "Why?", you ask. Well, I figured that if we didn't bundle we wouldn't be suffering with the previous issues and I did like the speed and reliability of the internet that they had proved us. So, I'm on the phone with AT&T and the woman told me that the fastest internet speed available to my address (which is the same address as the last time we used their services, by the way) was 1.5. I told the sales rep for the AT&T that the last time we had AT&T our speed was much faster than that, like 6.0. She told me that 6.0 was never available for our address and actually convinced me that I was mistaken and I signed-up for service. To say the least, 1.5 is barely enough to load Google, rendering its antiquated speed worthless for daily use.

    Knowing that Bright House Networks internet is worse due to its connection not being reliable at all (we had that prior to December 2012), I quietly waited for every page to load and every video to buffer. Two days ago, I got a wild hair up my a** and decided to hunt down our original subscription order with AT&T and saw that we had in fact had 6.0, not 1.5. Armed with a current bill and the original order, I went to the AT&T Store and confronted them with this obvious discrepancy in hopes of getting back up to the 6.0 speed. The woman appeared to be confused over the speed difference and got on her tablet and her phone in search of getting me back to 6.0. After she hung-up the phone, she told me the U-verse would soon be available to my address, without giving me any sort of time window, so 1.5 was in fact the fastest speed currently available.

    Then she told me that had we not dropped AT&T the year prior that we would still be getting the 6.0 speed we previously had. I'm sorry, but after hearing such contradictory statements, my "talk like a lady" filter instantly shut-off. In between certain choice four letter words, I told her that I have no problem with paying a higher price for faster internet, but to throttle down the available speed for new accounts in preparation for the vague availability for U-verse is unacceptable. Either the speed is there or it isn't, which it is clearly there, just not for a new account. So, after about ten minutes of me voicing my utter discontent, she spun her head around, threw-up pea soup and walked me to the door (the visual not being in any way factual, that's just how my mind sees it).

    Now my choices are to either hold out for whenever U-verse eventually becomes available, bow down to cable or just strain my eyes by staring at my smartphone. Almost everything somehow currently relies in some way on an internet connection. We are forced to go online for banking, applying for jobs, making purchases and paying our bills (just to name a few), so what are we, as consumers, to do? I am not in any way anti-internet, but with the millions of dollars spent annually on anti-virus software, virus removal, identity theft and the constant computer upgrades in an attempt to keep our information safe, I figured that after decades of the "world-wide web" being available, that there would be a much higher standard of how these big internet corporations are being policed on their business practices.

    Two decades ago, I purchased my first computer. To say the least, the memory and the speed of that once "top of the line" computer is obsolete. The same thing can be easily said for many computer based electronics that I have purchased and then had to replace for newer, better and more reliable. The bottom line is that I shouldn't have to relocate in order to get better or more reliable home internet service, I already spend enough money trying to keep-up with the necessary technology. I feel that internet providers owe consumers the same investment (if not more) since they definitely can afford it more than we can.

    Slow 7 Mb speed in LA. After almost 20 years living in a high density area of LA near San Pedro, I have never been able to have high speed internet or Uverse. Evidently, according to some AT&T workers I corralled in the area, the cost of laying the cable is "too expensive." So, if I want faster internet, my only choice is Cox Cable and their customer service has left something to be desired. Where is Google Fiber when I need it? Why can't satellite internet be a reliable, fast choice? Is this the 21st century in Los Angeles or not?

They are telling me I have a pass code or favorite restaurant which I never had, so they will not do anything for me. I have my account, social security, and address. I can't believe this. I told them I stop my card so they can't get any money out of account. So they need to do this so they can get new address to send a bill so they can get their money.

    DO NOT fall for the Uverse bundle... Since March 3, 2015, I've had 11 servicemen out to the house, spoken with 39 telephone reps, invested over 40 hours on the phone just to have my old service reinstated. The original installers of Uverse cut all of my old lines (phone, cable, internet and home security) at a cost of $50 to replace at $50 per TV x 3 = $150.00, Home Security $49 = $199.00. Uverse lied about EVERYTHING. The phone crackled, the TV went in and out, the internet slowed by approximately 75% and until the home security company called, we weren't even aware there was no protection in the event of a burglary or fire. This coming Monday March 30, 2015, #12 serviceman is "supposed" to reconnect the DSL.... And as for the Uverse bundle promised at $89 monthly including free installation, we received a bill for $241.68, which will definitely NOT be paid. DO NOT switch to Uverse bundle.
