About AT&T Internet

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.

I was living in an apartment and I was using AT&T Uverse until July of 2014 when I purchased a home and moved in with a new electric, water and internet provider all new utilities. In August I contacted AT&T and paid my final bill. Today I was contacted by a bill collector by phone. I paid the bill of $31.19 to avoid a negative occurrence from being on a credit report and I told bill collector I was paying to stop AT&T, as I pay all my bills, on time, all the time, but I would pay and, go after AT&T as I do not believe they would steal from me in this unethical way. I am really mad then I immediately called Uverse back and said they had no evidence I paid even after I gave them my confirmation number. I need an attorney because I may get another bill six months, or even a year from now.

I have been having issues with my slow internet for years. I have complained here and there. They are very by the book and very polite on the phone to resolve nothing. It always seems fine on their end, maybe it is. Then in that case whatever determines their end, sucks. I have been paying for 12 Mbps download speed. On a average I'm usually getting about 3 Mbps. I have may logs of my internet speed test. It has never been consistent. But like I say, it never ever gets resolved. I'm in a building which only has AT&T as a internet provider. I sadly have no choice. I hate, I HATE AT&T UVerse!!!!!!!!

I returned internet equipment to AT&T via UPS store at the end of January 2014 - 14 calendar days after receipt. I received an invoice for $106. I phoned AT&T and they assured me the bill would be credited once the equipment was received. 2 months later I receive another invoice. I phoned AT&T again and they said the equipment was notice received the amount was owed. 1 week later, I received collection calls demanding the $106 balance. So, AT&T is out of equipment and I'm out of $106. I've shipped UPS for 15 + years and never had them "lose" a package. Doesn't seem right to me.

My cell phone drops calls all the time. Or people tell me to repeat what I'm saying because "I'm cutting out". If I'm expecting or making an important call, I will drive in my car to sit near a tower, so I won't lose the call.

Was told by sales we would get NHL network, HBO, Cinemax, and Showtime as we were getting from Comcast for less amount. When service was connected there was no NHL Network or HBO or Cinemax and our bill was more. When I called to complain was told they did not even have rights to NHL Network and if we wanted HBO, Cinemax they would take $20 off our bill. Unfortunately we bought it hook, line and sinker. Unbeknownst to us we were placed into a contract and we're stuck with their horrible service for what seemed like an eternity!
When we had issues with Uverse which happened at least every month to every other month, we either had to spend 20-25 minutes on the phone speaking to a foreign IT person who had me running from room to room trying to reset the Uverse or I would use the ATT TV guide on trouble shooting only to find out it didn't work anyway.
This humongous corporation is sack of lying crap! Their supervisors are robots, figuratively speaking, and their managers are apparently hidden among the Lost Ark! They do not care about their customers that pay for residential service. They may not care right now but when competitors are taking their customers away the almighty dollar will surely matter then. Good riddance ATT, I hope the next time I speak the name it is in the sentence "remember that ** company, AT&T?"

So I ordered AT&T Uverse on Thursday of last week. One thing I instantly didn't like was that they was mailing my Wi-Fi router out through UPS. And the man came to install the Wi-Fi and the router didn't even arrive yet. The bone I have to pick with them is that they need to have their equipment with their employees when they are sent out to install the Internet. NOT come through UPS. Had to wait longer for the equipment even though the Internet was installed. Ridiculous.

Over the past six months or so we've been experiencing an "intermittent U-verse problem" which means the service for phones/internet/t.v. Will disconnect on certain days a couple times an hour (other days no apparent problem). This interruption of services constitutes a serious problem for those trying to reach us via telephone; also for our use of internet for business purposes (and t.v. watching at night). We've requested several times that an AT&T service technician come to our house to check out the problem; however they are usually unable to locate what is causing the problem with their testing. Meanwhile, the service disruption ("dropping") problem continues.

I signed up with ATT Uverse in June 2014. It's been 10 months of ridiculous and horrible service, my television is lost constantly, i.e. at least a few times a week for no apparent reason. Further, my internet is slow, the wheel will spin causing me delayed replies to my clients. I never had a problem with TWCABLE when I lived on the East Coast. Not ever. Gosh, wish I stayed with them or had not elected ATT UVerse. I can't wait for my year to be up, and I will be switching providers. Do not use ATT Uverse. Use anyone but them. ATT for cell service is solid. I would not recommend ATT Uverse nor would I ever use them again ever. Their prices are high and one would expect quality service. Haha. Not happening with them.

I had U-verse install on March 6. The technician was did my original install was actually great. He cleaned up our outside wiring and installed both internet and TV service. After previewing the TV service for a week, I decided to cancel the TV service. I called AT&T and they persuaded me to upgrade my internet service as I was canceling my TV service. They scheduled another technician to come out and perform the upgrade. When he arrived, he told me he would be adding another pair to my account to complete the upgrade. However, in the process of adding another pair, he took down the original service. So, we have no internet. IT IS A HUGE NIGHTMARE.
To compound the problem, AT&T keeps passing the ball from one department to another, just opening and closing trouble tickets but not actually solving the problem. They are all very nice on the phone, apologizing, sympathizing but none of them seem to have the knowledge or authority to actually fix the problem. I was really looking forward to the upgraded service but with this current experience, AT&T has turned me from an excited advocate into a very frustrated consumer that has lost over 20 hours of productivity so far.

Start with the good, HD is great, internet speeds good. Nightmare part, the intro price actually ends 30 days before you get the bill. Your bill will then nearly double, so they offer a "new promo" more than original but less than double. After that it took 3 more months of calls (10 hours on the phone) to get the "new promo" actually on the account. 1 year after that it started again so I'm canceling and the phone people disconnected me twice during that process.

I signed up last yr for AT&T U-Verse since I have had my phone with them for many yrs. I was quoted a one yr contract price. In calling to renew my contract yesterday, I was told the rate had increased over $20. I told them that was not acceptable and I would go to Comcast. In checking Comcast I found they did not service my area. So today I called AT&T back to tell them I had to agree to the increase, only to find out that that offer was not valid today. So now the increase is well over $30 a month. They have no value for a returning customer. I tried to speak to a supervisor who said she could do nothing to help me. I would never promote this service to anyone.

Our AT&T Uverse account is constantly changing. We must call and report errors. We have been given new promotions to reduce the price only to have it raised again. Every new promotion starts a new contract. I was told that a cancellation penalty at twelve months would cost me $186.00 and reduced every month by $15.00 thereafter. So, every time I agree to a new promotion to reduce my rate, I'm back to the twelve month penalty rate. Our bill has been raised the very next month after we agreed to a new promotion. There is no explanation.
Here is a list of my bills beginning in Nov. 2013: 187.96, 100.74, 101.65, 131.58, 99.62, 111.99, 111.99, 112.24, 112.24, 112.24, 112.24, 114.15, 174.60, 114.35, 138.45, 150.87, and March 2015 was $165.77. We have called in several times asking why we are paying more each month after agreeing to a new "promotion". They attribute it to rising costs. They keep changing their promotions so there's no way you can predict what the next bill will be. Then they hold you hostage with their huge cancellation fee. What can be done?

Very unreliable near the end of the month because I think they are throttling our speeds when they are not supposed to be. Whenever we use a certain amount of data through our wifi, it gets slower every single month. It also kicks you off for no reason or explanation.

I've been with AT&T for 20 years, had DSL with them for 17 years. I run a small consulting business from home and rely on the phone & internet to communicate with clients and send information. 3 months ago I try to get onto the internet and it's wasn't working. Neither is the phone. I call AT&T and they say it is mandatory I switch to the Uverse modem - and they'll be nice enough to reactive my account until they can come in & bring the new modem. Guy comes in, says he can't do anything since he needs to get to DSL plug that is behind huge shelf that is bolted to the wall (I was told they simply need to switch modems). We spend all Saturday moving the shelf, guys comes back Monday (2 hours after the end of the time window), stays 6 hours.
At the end, they have ripped out my landline, despite my requests that they don't touch it. I'm down to 1 phone plug (from 3), and one DSL plug (from 2). Next morning my phone doesn't work. They couldn't send anyone to fix it for over a week. Internet is now much slower than before. This morning, 3 months later, I try to log on, internet & phone are down *again*!!
Turns out they shut off my "auto pay" on my account when they switched to Uverse and only one payment went through - I owe them money, but can't figure out how much because when I log onto my account online I can't find any information about the bill. After being transferred and on hold for 40 minutes I get to a woman that insists I give her my credit card #. I tell her they have it on file (I can see it when I go to my account) and I will not give it to her over the phone unless I can see a bill. She insists and says I am not entitled to see the bill. I tell her I'm going to an actual AT&T store to settle this. She says I can't pay the bill there and I need to give her the card over the phone. I tell her it sounds like fraud since I don't know what I'm paying for and threaten to report her to the police. She tells me to stop being violent and call back when I've calmed down.
I go to one AT&T office where the girl was clueless, told me they have a new system, directs me to another office one 10 minutes away but won't give me the address. I look them up online, go to next nearest (which was really 30 minutes away) and have a similar experience. Finally call them again, get a good lady this time who says the stores are required to let me pay my bill, gives me the address of bigger store where I finally can pay bill but they refuse to give me a paper copy, though I do have a receipt. Service is back but I still can't see anything online. I can't believe how much they've gone downhill. I had to take a day off of work to deal with their incompetence and since I'm an hourly consultant, I lost a lot of $$$.

In December 2014 a technician came out, turned service back on and changed equipment out. AT&T shows 3 boxes returned but continues to charge me for equipment. I call each month (3 months now) to dispute the charges and explain that the technician took the old boxes with him. 2/22/15 when I called and talked to ** he told me he shows the boxes returned, told me what amount to pay and that it would be corrected on the next bill. Got it in the mail, and it's still wrong. Tried instant chat but that person couldn't figure it out and didn't show the boxes being returned at all.
Called in, talked with **, she identified the problem when asking me what serial numbers are on the boxes I have. The SN on the box in my living room they show returned 12/30/14 (the new box) and the old box SN is what they are charging me for. She transferred me to the IT technician, I explain it all, she can't figure it out and wants to escalate it for review. It's simple to me, AT&T recorded the wrong serial number returned and what was replaced here, but apparently not simple enough to their employees to figure out. Now, 45 minutes later into a phone call, it's going to be reviewed and a manager will call me back in 24 hours. Talk about extremely poor customer service, or complete lack thereof. I continue to be charged for equipment and a late charge for a screw up on AT&T side.

So, my wife and I went with AT&T U-verse Internet when we moved down from LA. We got the introduction rate of I believe 45 bucks that would go away and jump 10 bucks after a year. Well that happened, but then just two months ago our price jumped another 10 bucks for no reason. So, I called to ask why it went up when we did not change our service. They told me that they could not help me by cutting my cost again, even though they had no answer for why it went up. Instead they told me that they could get me TV now because I was paying the same amount as someone with TV and internet!!! I told them that I did not want more services. I wanted the service I had for the price we had agreed on. They said that they could not do that so I asked to speak to the supervisor.
That was the last time I spoke to someone. So, after holding 30 minutes to speak to the original person that could not help me, and speaking to them for 3 min, I was back on hold for another 90 minutes before I finally gave up. I am quite angry. This is pathetic on their part and once I get rid of AT&T, I will never ever, ever return to them and I'll tell the world not to do business with them.

The service from AT&T U-verse is very poor. Their internet is very slow despite having an upper tier service. Often videos buffer, pages open slowly, the spinning wheel just keeps going round and round while I wait. I have to watch my monthly charges closely as they will increase without notification. Unfortunately I have about 8-9 months on a contract for internet service. I was told due to promotional billing that I was obligated for a year. I have been very loyal to AT&T with mobile service, U-verse TV and internet for 6 years.

3 Weeks ago we signed up for AT&T Uverse over the phone. We originally called due to the $89/month rate for a bundle package. We were going to get Basic TV, Basic Phone, and the fastest internet possible. After a while we ended up to agree on a rate of $112 per month due to the fact that we added 2 TV's. We were also promised a free 32" TV or a $250 credit.
After installation I checked the account info on the TV and we only had the 3mbps internet. (Not what we ordered.) When we called to complain we were apologized to and was told that they have to come out again to install new equipment for the fast internet. We were also promised free HBO and Cinemax for 3 months for the inconvenience. The next day we did not have promised channels so called again. A supervisor by the name of ** gave us his employee ID number and apologized again and offered us $89/month for the year due to the frustration. When the repair man came out, he continued to ramble on how the order was completely messed up but eventually finished and left us with u300. (We did not ask for this.) We received a bill after a few days for $189.00!!
Once again calling to complain we were told it was because we upgraded. WE NEVER UPGRADED! We asked to speak with ** and gave the ID number he gave us. They said he didn't exist. (!!!??) We also asked about the TV we were promised. They said that promotion is no longer available. WHAT!! It was when we signed up!! And if they do in fact record the calls, all they had to do is listen to the original call when we ordered and was confirmed $112 with the TV. One time we called and they said, "We don't even show you have a tv package with us." (LOL.. what! I'm looking at it!) Bottom line.. the customer service for this company is repulsive. If you call during the wrong hours, they say they "can't help you, that department is closed." In my whole life I've never experienced service this bad. Needless to say we are shopping for someone else.

When I signed up for Uverse all NASCAR racing was part of the package. Now they are blocking the NASCAR Xfinity races. We get dart games. If they are not going to broadcast the races the consumers should be entitled to a reduction in their monthly bill. I would much rather see the races.

I had upgraded my att u-verse internet from 3.0 to 18 mbps. So shortly after that my wifi stopped working so I had them send a technician to my house. He found that the router was defective and replaced it with a new one and according to att is worth $100. I asked the technician if this was going to cost me anything he said absolutely not. A few days after that I was as happy as could be until I look at my bill, I found out att was now charging me a $7 router lease fee every month.
I called att, told them I was not notified of this new fee charge and never agreed to pay it. They told me as long as I am using this new router I will have pay the $7 fee or I could return the router to them and buy my own router. I have been an att customer for many years and I have never been treated this by anyone in my life. I thought att was suppose to care about their customers as guests. Nowadays it all about the money. 4 years ago I canceled my att home phone and now it looks like I will have to cancel att altogether. BE VERY CAREFUL. THEY'RE OUT TO GET YOU TOO!!!

On 2/25, after receiving a voice mail from U-Verse that my bill was coming due, I called to find out why I had never received the monthly email. In October, I enrolled in paperless billing and received an email every month until February. I immediately called customer service, though he could not figure out why I did not get my bill, he told me that I qualified for a package deal. I currently has just the internet service for $59/month. He told me I could get the fastest internet speed and basic tv service for $78/month for 24 months with no contract. I asked him what basic tv was, he stated it the basic news channel, a lifetime channel.
Again, I asked for clarification-top speed internet and basic tv-he said yes. Only to find out when installation day came that I was getting U-Verse 300-not what I was told I was getting (a huge difference in price and package). Calling customer service as tech was here, I found out that sales people ARE NOT TO SELL basic tv service as any package-HE LIED! I was also told the conversation was recorded. Calling customer yet again, I filed a complaint with U-Verse, was given a case# and told I would hear from someone in 8 days. Time has passed and no one has gotten back to me. I get an email now saying I owe $200!!! MISLED and LIED to by AT&T! In live chat the other night, the girl looked up the case number and said it was still under review. This is not what I was told and the conversation with the rep on 2/25 would show this. The man who took my complaint said that it is AT&T's responsibility to honor what they promised. Broken promises.

My problems began on 2/25/2015. Since then, nothing has been solved rather, gotten worse. When I finally thought my billing problems would be solved after speaking with Krystal on 3/16, today I see nothing was changed. I posted in the AT&T community forum and had two reps reach out to me. They assured me that my call on 3/16 with the changes the rep made then would be correct and no further problems-$68 a month for the next 12 months. My bill today says I owe $88. I was told on March 16, that an increase would not come for at least year as when that would be the end of my term. I tried to online chat with a rep-he disconnected the window. Each time I tried to log into my account today, I got kicked out after I opted to view any bill listed in my history. I am so over AT&T. I am done and want out.

I received a call from AT&T about switching to their Uverse Plan (both phone & internet). The saleslady convinced me that if I tried their Uverse phone and internet, and did not like it, that I could switch back to the DSL and regular phone. Upon trying it and hating it, I called to switch my service back, and they told me that once I switched to Uverse, I could not switch back to DSL. I was so ticked off, as I was totally lied to by their salesperson. Now, they are ringing my phone off the hook to try to get me to switch to their Uverse television. That make it sound almost too good, but now that I read these reviews, and realize that I am not the only one who has been trapped by their shady practices, I think I will just stay with my DirecTV service.

I called to inquire about lower cost options because I recently retired. Finally, after about one hour on the phone, the rep quoted a total monthly rate of $87.00. New Directv service was installed and when I opened my new bill, I did not get what I agreed to. The tv charge was higher than quoted, my bill had incorrect charges and I was promised a $50 gift card which nobody seemed to know anything about. I wanted to cancel everything because I was so frustrated but was told I would have to pay a $480 early termination fee to Directv and I am locked into a 2 year term. I believe AT&T totally misrepresented the actual charge and now I am stuck. When it does come to the end I will never do business with either company again, after 45 years with AT&T.

Anyone who is thinking of getting AT&T u-verse Don't do it!! I have had nothing but problems with them since I've signed up... Everything from taking money randomly out of my account for no reason to them mistakenly turning me off and trying to charge me for the Restoral fee... Not to mention them changing my payment cycle without giving me any indication that they were doing so. When you call customer service I was transferred multiple times and had to explain over and over again what was wrong.. When they ask you what you need help with I feel as though they should send you directly to a person that can assist you. Since July (when I signed up) I have had to call them almost every single month and sometimes 2 to 3 times within a month.
The only positive thing about this company is when you call customer service representatives they recorded all of their conversations, because after reviewing the conversations I had with previous representatives they were able to see that they were in fact at fault for every single incident that I've had issues with... yet they won't admit fault and they make it seem like they're doing you a "favor". I spoke to a manager and let her know my concerns for how her customer service team handled their situations with customers and I felt as though she just brushed it off and made me feel as though they did everything they could to give me excellent customer service and that I was in the wrong. I encourage you to seek other TV and Internet service.. It's not worth your time.

I switched to AT&T Uverse from Comcast for two reasons. The salesman told me the U300 package would cost 106.00 per month (he even wrote this on my sales receipt) and told me there would be no charge for the two DVR devices (he also wrote this on the receipt.). He said I would have a choice between three rewards, a choice of either of two tablets or a 40" LD TV of which he upgraded from the 32" shown in the flyer. (He gave me a flyer showing only these three rewards.) My first bill was 148.00. (This includes at 16.00 install fee spread over the first three months which I agreed to.)
When questioned, I was told the one of the DVR devices were free but the second was not. Then after waiting 30 days to claim my reward, I find that the TV is not offered and I would have to settle for a tablet, which I do not need. TV is only offered to total packages that include phone. None of this was explained to me by the salesman, in person. I was told the bill would absolutely be 106.00 + tax and that I would be able to choose the 40" TV. Avoid this company at all costs. I will be filing a formal complaint with AT&T and will be canceling my service with this company if this is not resolved. So far I have basically been told there is nothing they can do. AT&T salesmen need to be re-trained to be more informed and honest. RIDICULOUS!

Gave us a promotion, then lifted the promotion at some point without our knowledge. We paid more than we originally bargained for for months before realizing the mistake.

We have had the AT&T wireless cell phone service for years and their customer support folks talked us into trying out the Uverse bundled internet and tv service. Their internet service is awful slow but we stuck it out for a year since we got a pretty good deal on the bundled service. Our year contract is up and now AT&T Uverse has raised our monthly bill from approx $130 to $220 a month incl taxes and other fees. Their customer service rep, named **, told us there was nothing he could do. They will contact us if they run another promotion (no thanks don't bother). I wouldn't pay $20 a month for their subpar internet service but they want to charge $60 plus equipment rental. Honestly the dial up service from last decade is faster than their so called high speed internet.
My modem is actually much better than their equipment but you must rent their equipment which is another hidden cost. At least Time Warner gives you the option to supply your own equipment to save on the monthly fees. Apparently we are too far from their tower to get fast internet but they are still charging the rates other companies charge for the faster speeds. I really hate the cable companies but having a fast internet service is very important for my work. Unfortunately DirecTv is also partnered with AT&T Uverse for the internet service in our area. We are switching back to Time Warner. At least they have blazing internet speeds and we are willing to sacrifice a bit on the tv service.

I have two lines at my home, one DSL for the house and a Uverse for my office/guesthouse. Two separate bills every month paid on time. All of a sudden the AT&T idiots contact me and say the house DSL line must be upgraded to Uverse or service would cease. So I dutifully set it all up and scheduled the install. I told the installer in detail that the guesthouse/office in the rear building was my office so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't disconnect my office, as it is a separate account, always paid by my credit card.
So what does the poorly trained nitwits do? They leave and I find my office Uverse, in place since the beginning of 2014, had been disconnected. It only gets worse after that. AVOID AVOID AVOID this company if you have any choice. They are incompetent from senior management all the way down the chain "of **". And the Communications Workers of America should be shoveling horse ** on some remote farm, which is really a complement as to their competency.

First off, when my Uverse is actually working correctly, I love it and it is why I continue to put up with their customer service CRAP. It is really inconvenient that they are the best TV service I can get in my area or I would not be using them. They have got to figure out a better system for people that move and need to get their service transferred. The past two times I have moved, you would think I am asking them for a million dollars in order to get them to set up my new service correctly and in a timely fashion! I mean, isn't that what they are supposed to do?! A year ago, my husband and I moved into a rental home and it took them 3 weeks to come turn our service on, thank goodness for the local provider that came the same day we requested them to come out. That wasn't even the kicker, they shut our service off at our old house when we weren't moving out for another week!
They do not understand that usually people are in-between houses for several days during a move and they will shut off your service before they get your new service started. TO TOP THAT OFF, they can't even turn your system back on after they shut it off because they can't override the cancellation?! Come on!! Technology is too advanced for this to happen. So now a year after this fiasco, it has happened again. We were scheduled a week ago to have service to turn on in our new home we recently bought. We had a snow and ice storm and they canceled our installation which was understandable as long as they could come the first day the roads were drivable. Simple request? NO! After being on the phone with 3 different customer service reps, we are told they cannot come out for a MONTH.
This was 5 days ago and my husband has been on the phone with them this morning and now....... THEY THINK THEY INSTALLED OUR SERVICE ON THE DAY THEY CANCELED OUR INSTALLATION. Get. It. Together.

I highly advise that paying customers stay away from this shady company along with the other cable providers. I was on the phone with the salesman for uverse for nearly 40+ minutes negotiating an introductory package for the first year. We agreed on the u300 package with wireless box for second tv, 18 mb internet, sports package, and hd package for $105 a month. Amazing right?! Well, got a different package upon installation. Shocker. The salesman lied to me about the sports and hd package.
When contacting att, they gave me the finger as well. Obviously, they train their salesmen to say anything to get you to sign up, truthful or not. I have gone without cable for 5+ years. I will be canceling my services immediately and making sure the kid I talked to in Oregon does not get commission for lying to a customer. I will be filing a complaint to att directly, including the local office here in ohio. I am a salesman myself, and I would never lie to a customer and treat them with such disrespect when they voice their complaint. I was hoping att uverse was different than all their competitors. Thought wrong.

They said your technician will arrive between 12pm-4pm. He arrived at 2pm, cool I thought he'll be done and I could enjoy my day off. After the technician looked around maybe for 10-20 minutes, he said the problem was outside and he needed to call back up, they will come back in 30-45 minutes. 1 hr passed by and nothing, after 2 hrs of waiting I called customer service and some rude rep tells me that if I want my problem to be fix, they're on schedule to come back between 7-7:30pm.

AT&T sales guy really got me good. I got the offer for $500 Visa gift card so thought I would check it out. The deal was for wireless customers who could get a digital phone, Internet and U-verse TV bundle with free install. **, the sales rep, tells me all of this for $125/mo. Wow! Ok! The install was fine but the installation guy complained the whole time about how much work it was for him. He's getting ready to leave and I asked him about my phone and he tells me there is no phone service on the work order.
Today I call and was on the phone with AT&T for over an hour to get this resolved and of course no resolution but they did find out I'm still paying for phone service that was never installed. I should have known because the last time I tried to switch to U-verse I took a day off from work only to have that installation guy never show up. I am beyond upset with AT&T's sales tactics. So, if I want to add the phone service that will be another boatload of money. I should have just stuck with my other provider.
UPDATE ON 03/29/2015: Just to follow up on my original review of AT&T Uverse; I got my Visa reward card yesterday, which was supposed to be $500 (the ONLY reason I switched) and it was for $100. This adds insult to injury. To be honest, I am not surprised. Yet another reason to be thoroughly disgusted with AT&T. I'm not going to bother calling, because I am guaranteed to be on the phone with you for over an hour and I just don't feel like the fight. Perhaps passing customers from sales rep to sales rep to manager for over an hour is part of the scam. Most people will probably just give up. So very disappointed in you, AT&T.

I have been an AT&T U-Verse customer for 3 days, sat on hold for 5 and a half hours, appointment was changed without notice, install tech was 3 hours late, box stopped working hours later and they stated they would come between 8-12 but never showed up or called to say they were not coming. Finally fixed it myself. Their customer service department is clearly Indian outsourced and you can hardly understand anyone. Even before I got the service, it took over an hour to either get through in chat or over the phone. After the customer service tech talked to me like I was stupid for a half hour, she realized maybe something was actually wrong. I ended up buying a separate power cord because the one installed was stripped.
As a home business owner, my online presence is vital and I need access. Their garbage equipment is a joke and their handle on their own business is downright sad. They are the epitome of the cable company jokes you always hear. NEVER have I seen a group so intent on providing garbage service all around. They call me today to see if a tech ever showed up yesterday. I mean seriously, are you that terrible you cannot even keep track of your own employees or customers??

I've had AT&T and DSL since they bought out Bellsouth years ago. When I moved to a new location, actually closer to the city, my service got worse. AT&T assured me it would get better, and have continued to make the same promises. 6 years later we still have the same unreliable 1.5 mbps and the price per month continues to climb. Are you kidding? This is metro Atlanta for pete's sake. I don't mind pay more for better service, but more for worse service? AT&T is truly the worst company I've ever dealt with. I dropped their wireless years ago for this very reason. Would do the same with DSL, but we have no other providers.

I called AT&T to sign up for one of the Uverse Bundle Promotions. I told the salesman that I already have a Cellphone and did not seek a telephone landline. The salesman said that the Phone Landline was included in the package deal and it was free. I signed up later in the conversation. The complaint is that my bill shows that I am being charged $26.53 every month for a service I do not use nor did I originally seek to purchase!
I called today and was transferred to their "Loyalty Department" and after listening to me, the operator couldn't stop saying, "I'm sorry." The operator applied a credit of $25.00 towards the next bill. Being forced to pay an extra $300 and getting back $25 for a service that I didn't want or need is outrageous!

So I called them Feb 27, 2015 (Friday) to switch our DSL service to a new apartment that is in the same building, except a different unit, since we moved to unforeseen forces. I was on the phone with them for an hour and they kept having me switch over to Uverse even as I told them we can only get DSL in the apartment. But they said they could only order it as Uverse and makes a Uverse account for me. She said the apartment and building itself is wired for Uverse so she told me I can self install, but I chose to have the technician come instead. A technician comes the following Tuesday and he said we are not wired for Uverse after checking the wires in our building for 2 hours and says that he will send an engineer to fix the wiring either the following day or today and they will call me.
So, I called AT&T today, March 5, 2015 (Thursday) and talked to Uverse and they said they I can't have Uverse because we are not wired for it and transfers me to DSL customer service who says that he too can't order me DSL. He actually said he will try to figure it out for me since I insisted that Uverse told me I can't have Uverse and he is telling me I can't have DSL. He said he will give me a call today. I went to the property manager of the Apartment complex and she tells me that they have been having the same problem with AT&T with new tenants, either they would tell the person that they can't have internet or keeps forcing the tenants to get Uverse which they can't have.
A new lady from AT&T calls me and has me on hold for a good on and off for 35 minutes trying to get my order processed. I guess my question is, "Why the heck would you call me and put me in hold if you still haven't process or done anything?" And the to top it all off, she tells me that I need to pay a new activation fee even if I am freaking just relocating my service to a different address. Also, it will be a minimum 2 business days to turn my service on, even though I have all the equipments already. Ohhhh. And when I asked before she hanged up about what my new account number is (you got to keep in mind that this is just a change in address), she said someone will call me again today and let me know if the order has been process.
So, I was in the phone with her for 35 minutes and still they haven't processed anything. My husband also called AT&T and they told him today we can't have internet. So I have been on the phone with AT&T for a good 3 hours trying to switch a DSL to a new address which is literally right next to my old apartment.
The moral of the story: Don't ever get AT&T. Their customer service doesn't know what services they offer and they tell you things like you can self-install on a building that is not even wired for a service they cannot offer. And depending on who you talk to, they would even tell you that internet is not available at your area. So, the workers really don't know what's going on. Since my apartment complex only allows AT&T for this complex, I have no choice but deal with AT&T and be without internet at this day and age due to the customer service workers not knowing the services that AT&T can or cannot provide! Here's to hoping I actually get internet soon. So ridiculous.

Here is my experience so far. Feb. 2, got service installed (bundled package) phone or internet did not work. Feb. 3, tech returned to complete but still could not get service to work. Tech took equipment and I was told service will be cancelled. Feb. 15 got a bill for over $300. Called U-verse and told them my service should be cancelled and I have no equipment. March 3, got a call saying I have an outstanding balance and instructions on how to return my equipment. Called U-verse and was told I will be getting a letter in 5 days stating a zero balance. March 4, got call about delinquent bill. March 5, was told my account was never cancelled and they don't know why (it states on the notes I called to cancel on Feb. 15th). On hold for over an hour to speak to the disconnection department. Bottom line, still not resolved and I lost my phone number I ported over for only one night of cable service. Run like hell from U-verse unless you have a lot of time to burn.
Wanted to add a few more things as I have been on hold for 1 hour 36 minutes and counting. Currently on the phone with someone who sees my notes and is speaking to her supervisor. ** (rep) just said she confirmed they got my equipment back on February 17th so I don't need to worry about that. She also stated my bill be back dated to February 3rd so it will be no cost to me. Basically I owe nothing. If this is true, then my nightmare is over. Make your own choice. This was just my experience. I lost my phone number, hopefully don't owe $670 for one night of cable service. It took 5 phone calls for over 6 hours of hold time to hopefully resolve. I will update if I get another bill. Good luck, the consumer is basically screwed!

Yep... Right where the line was... About six feet down and required a backhoe. One big hole that ruined about two-hundred square feet of turf.
They threw out some straw and seed that didn't stand a chance of making it in the hard clay left on top. Dead on arrival and now I have to wash our dog's feet. Of course, this clay made its way inside...on the carpet... Thanks AT&T. Thanks for the hours beyond your "War and Peace" length bills that have to be corrected (or so we think) after telephone calls.

I hope I made the right choice with AT&T... as we cleared our initial call tonight, Dennis said "God Bless and have a Great night Mike."

It really made me spend more time driving and pay for some coffee.
Since my apartment in Japan had rice rocket crazy fast internet speed, I thought my parents house in Japan was horrible getting 26Mb/s.

In the end I will be expected to pay MORE than if I had kept my prior service. What part of 86 dollars a month DON'T this cable company understand??? 86 dollars is what they claimed my bill would be, it will in reality be over 100 dollars - more than what I wanted to pay and this is without any Wi-Fi service, just basic internet. What a ripoff! I will be canceling ALL of it! I can save the money and read books.

You won't really have trouble with them. Just don't pay extra for sports package and other package deals. Because 99.9% of the time the game you want to watch will be blocked out. So you pay monthly for something you can't even use. I would recommend direcTV or some other cable provider that doesn't block your stuff out that you pay for. I will be canceling AT&T in April.

I have AT&T U-verse for about 6 to 7 years. The internet speed that I pay for is 12 Mbps so I always have poor service and low speed, when I test the speed I always have the speed between 1 Mbps to 4 Mbps. When I call AT&T they always start saying it's because I'm using wi-fi or because I have more than two devices in home, blah... blah... blah... Then, because they do that before I call and before I do the test I go to my internet wired PC and turn off all other devices, so they don't have how to say it's my fault. Then when I call they do some magic adjusts and the speed blow to 12 - 13 Mbps. Make me happy for about 12 hours and them the speed get to the really low speed again.
I can't call to those guys that are overseas every day to fix my internet, I just want to get every day what I pay for. I pay U$60.00 per month to get 1 to 3 Mbps. So I'm thinking to change my service to other company and I recommend to every customer to make a research with your neighbors first if they are happy with AT&T U-verse internet.

I have guest coming from South America, I did a live chat with AT&T Uverse to ask them which channels I currently had were in Spanish. After 9 minutes of typing back and forth the best answer they could give was I could download a channel lineup. I asked again - "Which ones were in Spanish?" They did not know! I went through the guide myself and created a guide myself finding all available Spanish Channels. Later I received a call from Uverse support asking if I was able to resolve my issue. When I told them NO and described what I wanted, they said they were not sure such a list existed???

I really like AT&T wireless and their customer service. I truly DISLIKE AT&T U-Verse. I spend literally an hour to an hour and a half every month or other month to resolve issues with my service and my bill. I have never dealt with these issues with any other service provider, nor written a complaint about a company in my life, but I had to reach out to a reputable service to voice my concern. I'm quoted an amount for a bill and then billed a lot more. This month it has gone up $90.00, because of their inability to keep to the agreement that they made to me. Even my family members deal with the same issues in their homes. The other big announce is that as of today, I have been on hold, disconnected several times and I'm still waiting for a call back after an HOUR!!!!

My family has foolishly switched to AT&T U-verse twice. The first time the sales rep said we didn't have to worry if we liked the service or not, because the first 3 months were free. If we were unhappy, just cancel & go back to our previous provider. Well, in the fine print, it was only free if you KEPT the unimpressive AT&T service for the one-year contract.
Four years later another rep comes to our door & insists that the service is better & will save us money. I have our 4 year-old running around & we are trying to get dinner ready & I explain to the rep that my family was living on one income & would only switch if we could save money. After a complex contract, fine print & services I NEVER wanted, I am now paying $10 more a month & the service is NO BETTER!!!

For some of you be aware that AT&T to offer UVERSE in some areas. They will not honor the market offer of free installation and equipment. It turns out that to get UVERSE into some of the areas, AT&T had to kludge the UVERSE by placing special equipment in the area and it also requires special set box in the home. The special equipment has an upcharge to you the customer and it does not run the speed that they advertise. Moreover, AT&T is pressuring DSL customers to move to UVERSE. Here is the bad news, there is not return to DSL, so be careful.
AT&T sales does not know if you will be on a kludge network or not. Only the tech when he shows up will know and have a bill in his hand. What you can do? Two things, one cancel the service request before the tech comes into your home. Second and more important file a complaint with your State Public Utilities Commission. For me I am experiencing extended outages on DSL, and then AT&T threatens me that if I don't switch to UVERSE now I can experience more of the same and I need to switch now. This is a bully tactic and it should be noted with the PUC.

We have what AT&T calls the Max turbo internet speed (24 mb/s- download speed). This speed has never been delivered except when the service technician is here. He resets one of 11 channels to find a channel that is not busy and may measure 24 mb/s at the terminals of the modem. This speed is only associated with a hard wire connection, but is advertised as a wireless speed. We typically measure about 8 to 15 mb/s but never 24 mb/s. Some days the speed is 1 to 2 mb/s and this is due to a number of other users on the same channel.
The facts are that AT&T has never provided the internet service they advertised when we converted to U-verse. Moreover, they know it and their customer service people know it as well, but they refuse to deal with the complaint. If you need to have reliable internet service move to Comcast or Charter, because AT&T cannot deliver the product they advertise. However, if you move your laptop computer next to the AT&T modem, install an Ethernet cable and connect to the internet between 1AM and about 6AM everyday. You might get the internet speed that they advertise (maybe). If you are only interested in a wireless connection, your speed will about half the speed you are paying for, but only during off hours (1AM to 6AM). Isn't it great to deal with such honest companies in this capitalistic country.

At the time of my renewal, I was notified that there would be a 49% price increase if I were to resign for my second year of service. Thinking that was a bit high, I went to Comcast for comparable service and brought their offer back to AT&T Uverse. They gave me a "special promotion" by increasing my internet speed to the best package (comparable to Comcast's) and kept my pricing close to last year's price. Neither parts of this agreement were applied to my account.
Two months later I noticed they were debiting the 49% price increase. I had to speak with four different people and we finally came to the conclusion that there was no record of the agreement I made. To resolve the problem, I was credited back on the account but had to sign a new contract. The pricing was fixed moving forward.
A few months later I noticed that my internet was rather slow. I ran a diagnostic test and discovered that my internet was 30% of the 49mbps that was promised to be in the package. I called AT&T and confirmed my internet was never upgraded. I didn't ask for a credit, all I asked is that we work together to fix the problem. To resolve this problem, they sent a technician to my home and installed the fastest internet Uverse has, 49mbps, which I was originally promised. The very next month, I see a $46 increase on my bill. Considering it's not the first time it's happened, I called AT&T and disputed the billing error. They notified me that I have up to six months to dispute the bill. However, the manager I spoke with (Gloria, # ** ) told me she didn't have any notes on the account that I wasn't to incur an increase in price. She said she'd have to submit a report as she didn't have access which I requested she do multiple times.
When asked about the price increase from the previous month, Gloria cited their January price increase or an increase in local taxes. Now, keep in mind the difference in my bill was $46, a 26% increase. When I continued to ask questions, Gloria became irritated and recommended I ask my local government about the increase in taxes. I discovered that the January price increase was a marginal $4 increase in local taxes and a $4 price increase doesn't equal $46. Gloria's explanation just wasn't adding up.
It took me over thirty minutes of her talking in circles to get her to go through the bill line by line. When I finally led her to the $46 increase in a very elementary fashion, she finally admitted I'm being charged for the faster internet that was recently installed. She became very rude stating if I wanted faster internet, I have to pay for it. When I reiterated that was not what I agreed to at the time of my renewal or when I called to notify and resolve the error, Gloria, the manager, said unfortunately she couldn't help me and hung up on me. COMPLETE BAIT & SWITCH. It happened to me twice in one year. Don't let it happen to you!

I called AT&T to report another episode of sluggish connection speed and signal instability. This problem has been recurring from time to time and fortunately, usually reverses itself or the company ships out a modem. Occasionally we have service outages in our area, so I called to report the issue and ask if it was area-wide. The technician was helpful and the signal improved. When asked if there was any other way he could help me, I asked if he could connect me to customer service, because I wanted to find out more about a TV promotion. We don't presently have Uverse TV, so I wanted to hear about the offers.
I also mentioned the notice on my bill that said the 12 month promotional price of our plan was ending. I wanted to talk about the different packages they offer, because trying to get them on website can be challenging--they don't always match what you see on TV. So instead of connecting me to a "customer service" rep, I was connected to a "customer retention specialist." Bear in mind that I did not threaten to discontinue service, but did mention that it was a good time for me to evaluate my service plan.
The retention specialist was cordial, but I felt that her greeting boast of giving "5-Star Service" was premature at best, and smacked of corporate double-speak and too much time spent on the art of puffery and not enough time spent on the genuine art of customer appreciation. Yet, I don't blame the young woman for her boast, or her belief that she could provide that level of service. I feel as though she is an unwitting pawn in a game of befuddle and fleece the customer run by those much higher up than she is.
The young lady had considerable skill in using inflection, tone of voice, etc. in communicating a saccharine kind of "care" for me as a customer, and assured me that as a "valued customer" she could offer me another 12 month promotion of a "dollars-off discount" per month, that would appear on our phone bill. I thanked her kindly, and felt appreciative to have this 'courtesy,' given that I am not interested in having VOIP telephone service (still have two traditional AT&T land lines!) nor Uverse TV.
I have been fairly satisfied with our AT&T cell phone account and an another AT&T internet account we have elsewhere. What I haven't been pleased with is that despite having multiple AT&T accounts, with AT&T being the exclusive carrier for all our electronic communications services accounts, is the fact that these services cannot be bundled (or so they claim). So, it felt good (at the time) that I was being thrown a proverbial bone for being a loyal customer for over 30 years and one with multiple accounts.
That was until a postcard arrived in the mail that states: "The offer you selected requires a one-year term commitment to retain Uverse High Speed Internet service. An early termination fee of up to $180 may apply if Uverse High Speed Internet service is cancelled before the end of the term." Maybe they send postcards because they know their "retention specialists" don't disclose that what is happening is not a 'courtesy,' but a contract change! I called customer service and verified that I was speaking with a customer service rep and not a technician. I explained that the card announced a change in contract and that it felt like 'bait and switch.'
Long story short, the rep, although polite and cordial, paid some glossy lip service, but lacked the autonomy to make any changes. She went on to say that although we would still be required to pay an early termination fee if we move, we can avoid the fee by simply transferring the service and "billing responsibility" to new tenants! What gall! Again, I don't blame the rep, because I believe that most of customer service reps are just ordinary folk trying to make a living and that they don't get their jollies from disingenuous maneuvering and taking unfair advantage of customers (although there might be a few).
However, I lay blame squarely in the laps of the corporate administration, especially the marketing department, for what looks like intentionally deceptive practice. If corporate can train reps so very well in the technique of the smooth come-on, they surely can train them well enough to use a simple script that details all the essential elements of a so-called "offer" with critical details like "this offer is a contract change that comes with a (hefty) early cancellation fee."

I have had AT&T for several years and have had many issues with the rates changing monthly. Each time that I call they tell me that this is my rate and it will not change, it changes again if not the next month, within 2 months. After last years promotion ended I got a new promotion which was less channels and slower internet for more money, but I was comfortable with that price and did not want to deal with the hassle of switching companies. My bill was consistent for 2 months and my most recent month hiked almost $10. When I called I was told that there was a price change (which I was not made aware of) and this would be my new rate and the response that never fails "This will be your new rate and you shouldn't see another increase", yea right.
I find it odd that when you threaten to cancel at the end of a promotion they can magically reduce the price to where you want it, what I now understand is that they will eventually get you back up in price with their monthly price increases. I will not recommend AT&T to anyone else and I would cancel today if I wouldn't be stuck with a $120 charge to do so.

I read some of the complaints from other consumers of AT&T about some middle company taking care of certain aspect of your service. With me, my business had a problem with the long distance phone call for several months, and we did everything that AT&T Rep told us to do. In our area, the company called MCI is taking care of AT&T's long distance phone call, and they refer long distance questions or problems to the MCI. However, the problem is when you call MCI, they will tell you to call AT&T.
With the business the long distance phone calls were important but we just was not able to get it fixed. We had to use our employees' cell phones to call people who live outside of our area codes and patients couldn't call in if they had different area code. We moved to a different location in Jan 2015. I was glad to change the service to windstream. When we were try to disconnect the service, now AT&T is saying that I need to pay early termination fee because I have 5 more months to go with my contract. Problem is that I have been with AT&T for 6-7 years with business and more then 20 years with cell phone.
I don't remember extending my contract first of all with AT&T so I asked for the contract that I signed. Second issues is that I am moving into an area that AT&T do not provide service, and they are still charging me ETF. That is absurd. Other thing. you cannot talk about your landlines in any AT&T stores. I don't know why. why can't they help you there, and always have to call in and wait 30-40 mins to talk to someone.
Another problem. When I recently try to take my tablet off of my cell phone plan at the store, they said that I cannot do that at the store and have to call the company. Are you kidding me? It is amazing what they do to keep your service and find many ways to deter you from cutting off the service. Just not happy with AT&T.

Worst thing is this has not happened only once but multiple times. They are very unclear about the fees also which resulted in a large bill. Thank god the only thing they had good is "30 Day Cancellation Policy."
I was scared of Time Warner reviews so picked AT&T but this is worst of all and everything.

His bundle price does NOT include a $10 monthly HD service add-on, $7 monthly equipment use, even though I already have my own modem and router which supposedly is incompatible with their "exclusive" network, $5 add-on for non-published number, broadcast TV surcharge of $4, AND approximately 15% taxes. My bundle price is now $145 not including tax of about 15%. NOW, this bundle which started off as $119, is now $166 WITH TAX (at least - since, from my experience, AT&T is known to add on charges not mentioned in the sales pitch).
My current on bundled services are $176. AT&T said that my price includes their FREE "professional" installation. Does professional mean someone talks you through it over the phone? Or just someone actually come to your house? These are two very different things for me (I have a very bad back/on disability and will not/cannot be bothered with crawling around on the floor). This might be another surprise for me around the corner that wasn't mentioned. I'm obviously very hesitant to make this change. Can anyone provide me with any input who has gone from unbundled separate services to a bundled AT&T package?

If you're ** enough to get Uverse.. you deserve it. Do you really think that internet, voip, and HDTV can reliably travel down 100-year old twisted pair copper wire??? Telcos like AT&T along with Verizon, CenturyLink, etc, have had their head up their own rear-ends for 20 years. They are trying to milk their ancient copper network as long as possible because it would actually cost $$ to upgrade everything to fiber. Just like RadioShack, IBM, and other dinosaurs.. They need to fade into history.

I have three suggestion that I hope you take seriously. Last Feb. my homeowner's assoc. switched from Comcast to U-verse. Besides all the trouble I've had with the boxes I feel U-verse is lacking in the following:
2. RECORDING future shows: Comcast lets you search for future shows (more than two weeks out) and you can set up the recordings in advance. With U-verse you are unable to do that. Check out Comcast's search & record.
3. It would be much more convenient if "captioning" were available on the remote.
When I had Comcast you could only record 2 show and you had to watch one of them. They took your good idea of being able to record 4 shows and watch a 5th and now offer that feature. You should take their good ideas and incorporate them.

After several months waiting for Uverse it was ready to be installed. AT&T Uverse never got on my property. After hours on end for days I lost my phone number then other problems came up and I got two more phone numbers. Was supposed to get it installed today but got cancelled until tomorrow. I didn't change the install date. Customer service did that. I cancelled the Uverse and am going to get my original phone number back. Yet I still have to call them tomorrow in order to get the old phone back. AT&T you are totally inept and I still might go somewhere else for service. Anyone out there have the president of AT&T's phone number? After twenty years if the phone isn't on tomorrow with old number I won't ever do business with them again.

If anyone is thinking of getting Att service for cable/internet, please I'm begging you, save yourself the unwanted waste of time and wasted money... it's awful!!!! Let's begin with the "free" promotional HBO/SHOWTIME for three months... My fiance and I were told it was absolutely free for three months... Our second bill came and was charging three different charges adding up to an extra $66 dollars on top of our bill... When we called to cancel the channels we were told that we would get a "credit" on the next bill but we were still responsible for paying the extra charge for the current bill... How does that make any sense? It shouldn't have been charged in the first place! The customer service is obviously untrained only to be trained to charge money for unnecessary charges....
The next problem is the cable and Internet will cut out at any given moment, we have had this service for less than two months and it cuts out and will not work for several minutes to sometimes hours.... Please keep in mind that we live in a college town well within city limits where there is plenty of tower signals in which there should be no problem with a connection approximately 4 miles from a major university. Broad daylight and nice weather and the Internet stops working for no reason at all.... ridiculous... When I called to get a tech support to come out to check the problem, I get told it's an additional $99 charge if they have to come out for them to check something I can check myself for free! Service shouldn't frequently cut in and out more times than it actually works... It's a hit or miss.
The cherry on top of the sundae is when I told the rep I did not want a tech to come out yet, I get a text message 15 min later for a scheduled time and an automatic charge on my electronic bill added automatically in advance BEFORE the tech even came out to which I specifically told them I do not want a tech at my house. I'm getting out of this service even if I have to pay a termination fee, they can have all of their equipment back... a waste of time and money... The customer service reps nor the techs are trained correctly (it took the tech 4 hours to install the equipment in home that is cable ready, so how do I know it was even installed correctly to begin with!)... The service itself is a scam! Please save your self the hassle in the long run, much less the headache and inconvenience.

I moved to a new home not about twenty minutes from my last home. I had AT&T Uverse before, and I loved it. So naturally, I tried to get Uverse again, but it is not offered in my area. Bummer for me. I'm stuck with Mediacom, and they are still use the old school cable box with the slot for you to insert a card... No big deal. I'm stuck with Mediacom, right? WRONG!
On my way home I see my neighbor with an AT&T Uverse cable guy at her house, installing her Internet and cable! So I called and the customer service representative tells me that, "they are probably installing a cable line so Uverse can become available." After I had to tell him it was a CABLE GUY, like the kind that comes and installs your cable.. he then changes his half-baked remark to cover his butt by stating "just because it is offered at your neighbor's house, that doesn't mean it is offered at your house. Do you want the number to Dish?" I could have called Dish myself, thanks. And I had to release the call.
You know what, Mediacom may be older and the picture may not be all that, but at least they treat me with respect. With that being said, I will stay with Mediacom.

I signed up for internet and phone services about 6 months ago. I had to put down a deposit and they came out and put services in about two weeks later. I was billed the first months bill within two weeks of getting the new service. From day one, the services would not work and I kept calling and they kept coming back to fix the problem. They called the city out to do some work on the wires by the road and the services still would not work. I continued to call and complain about the bad services until the supervisors came out. They tried everything and finally said that it must be something blocking the signal. They got it up and working for about a day, but even then we were not getting the internet services that we where paying for. The supervisors were supposed to come back with some box to see if they could boost the signal...that never happened. I continued to call and just would not pay the bill.
I finally got one representative to listen and he applied some credits and promised that someone would come out and fix the issues. I waited and waited and nothing. I paid the next couple of months, but still called. I called around and finally went back to the high-priced Time Warner 'cause I could not get the services to work with AT&T. I called and cancelled my services...and guess what!!!! They had the nerve to charge me $90 for an early termination fee or something! This came out of nowhere and even the rep that was on the phone said that you only get the contract if you agreed to some type of discount. But there was never a discount on the bills, and that he did not understand why but the final bill would include the $90 early termination fee!!!
I reminded him of the 100 calls and the complaints about the services and told him that he must be out his mind to think that I was going to keep paying for bad services and that I was already stupid enough for giving them the payments that I had already given them! He come back with "well if you keep the services we won't charge you!" Seriously??? Are these people crazy??? Do not use this company unless you just want crappy service!!!!! You get what you pay for!!!! I have had Time Warner for about a week and the services are great!

Upon contacting AT&T they said it was not available but the rep said they could bundle the account with phone service and DSL service that I currently have for a discounted price lowering my bill $10/month less. I agreed to go ahead with the bundle and to add a phone line not knowing they were going change my account. Fast forward 2 days later a tech comes out to install phone line at which time I told him I was not worried about the lines as they were already hooked up and running DSL. As he left he mentioned that the DSL tech was scheduled for a service call in 2 weeks, which was no problem as my DSL was already working. At 6:30 that night I found out that they had shut off my DSL and I was not going to get it back for 2 weeks until tech was able to make it out.

Two months later I received a bill for $360 and when I contacted customer service, I was told they were charging me $160 for the receiver that had not been returned. Twelve calls later I spoke to a manager (Mark **) today who told me that I had no proof that I had returned the equipment and I had to pay up. My response was that after fifty-eight years of being a good customer, they might make some adjustment or I would have to cancel service as I couldn't write checks totaling $250 each month to a company that believed I was either a liar or a thief. His response was to ask me what date I wanted to cancel service! This to me is unbelievable.
I called the UPS store and asked why I was never given a receipt for the item returned and found out that they handle UPS and USPS packages and if a company has chosen the post office as a means of pre-paid returns on equipment, no receipt is issued. I want to warn others of sending defective equipment back to AT&T because you will end up paying for it.

I provided the agent with the confirmation number Harsha gave us. AT&T is now holding us to a contract. The call we made on January 12, 2015 to cancel our subscription was the "activation date" for the "new contract" since we "agreed" to the $10 reduction.

4 years ago I signed up for a dsl line for $50 per month on unlimited bandwidth and got 5-6 meg speed every day on a 6 meg ultimate service... great I thought, a little expensive but good service. 2 years later I found out that they changed the bandwidth in my area and were not supporting this bandwidth (which of course was only guaranteed at "3 and up to 6, sir") and could only get 2-3 then on a good day with the wind in the right direction. They then also introduced a cap of 150 gigs per months and charge $10 for every 10 gigs over this amount.
The three technicians that came to my house told me... "It's because your house is at the end of the line." I didn't move my house was my response... it's in the same place it was when I first bought your service in 2010. "ATT is not supporting DSL anymore and is giving priority to U-verse which would be better for you but we don't have it in your area and we don't know when it will be available. You should downgrade to 1-3 Meg speed and save $10 a month as you won't get the same speed as you got 4 years earlier anymore." Duh!!!
These techs were more truthful than any of the tech service guys I talked to on the phone... and of course they couldn't improve anything on my now 2-3 meg speed service on these tech calls. Customer advocacy? I finally was transferred to this group who promised me that their job was to get this fixed for their customers and "you should only call me, here is my personal number etc etc..." After three weeks and one more tech call to my house, he was also advocating I downgrade my service to 1-3 meg.
I then got a monthly Bill for $150 dollars for usage I never ran, but they are the sole judges of course on this. So I am paying three times as much as the contract I signed 4 years ago and getting much worse service and speed. THIS IS CALLED FRAUD... breaking a contract and then charging three times the amount for worse service... So we got divorced today and I am celebrating tonight.

Had AT&T forever (12+ years) and am using DSL Elite, which is the "fastest" service they have in my area (a town of ~100K people). Far be it for me to complain about spending $45.00 a month for 6 friggin' Mb Internet service (--which in and of itself should be considered a war crime), but as of recently, I started getting nastygram emails (and subsequently, inflated bills) for "exceeding my data limit usage." (Read: bandwidth cap). When I first signed on with AT&T, it was for an "unlimited" Internet package, but apparently, they took the liberty of changing terms on their existing customers.
Now I'm getting ganked every month because my family of four, using AT&T's "best" Internet package, is using something like 180GB of bandwidth. Seriously, this is 2015. More families than not stream movies, download rich content and have multiple devices connected to their home networks. Also? Every Web page and it's dog have video ads, now. Yet AT&T continues nickle and diming its customers for what is already exorbitantly priced, sub-par Internet service.
And speaking of which, there is currently no functional way to check your bandwidth utilization. They have a page you can visit (if you dig around on their site long enough) that gives very vague information (which lags behind actual usage anywhere from 1 to 4 days) --and finding out when your billing period ends is not readily apparent.
And don't even start about UVerse, which AT&T seems to be conveniently using this brand of harassment to railroad me into buying. The last thing I need is a further inflated bill for VoIP landline service I'll never use (again, this is 2015) and subscription television programming. In fact, the only thing that interests me less than landline phone service is reality television. Give me a reliable pipe to the Internet at a reasonable price and stop harassing my family about using what is always less than 200GB of bandwidth. AT&T is just another greedy, shady telecom, taking advantage of the limited choices intrinsic to smaller markets. I would love to take part in a class-action lawsuit.

Not only did I not like the system, but they purposely cut the outside cable from Time Warner when they did not need to and some cords were missing that belong to my TWC. They were there before AT&T was there because my TWC was working before they came. When I called to let them know that I decided not to stay with them, they claimed that they themselves called Time Warner and had us disconnected. That didn't sound right. They never asked or notified me that they had cut the wires when I made it very clear that this was a trial.
When my husband discovered the cut cord, I called AT&T. They were rude and said they could not turn their service on until I had TWC come out and redo all the wiring that AT&T ruined, and that they could turn it back on on Feb 21st which is 15 days away. They were able to instantly turn our service off but not on. They sabotaged my TWC equipment to make sure that they had a better chance of keeping us on with them. They are rude and the guy who came to install barely spoke English, so he gladly acted like he understood me when he didn't know a thing I was saying.
All that aside, I think their system is lacking and has odd channeling and no info on original air dates of shows. Also I have 4 boxes for the family and at times, one of us could not watch a show we wanted because of the channel someone else had on their box in a different part of the house.

I spent hours on the phone with reps in the Philippines and the TX Retention Div., each one giving me different answers, pricing and info. They all lied to me. One would say "no discounts for existing customers" and give me a new monthly bill amount of $240.00. The next rep would give me a ridiculously high price and say she gave $10.00 off internet and that's all she had to give. Next rep said she'd call me in 3 weeks with new promos...yah, right!!! In the meantime my bill would be &240.00 plus tax. The next few reps all gave different prices...none good.
Then I started getting transferred to the Retention Dept. One rep's computer suddenly locked up and she couldn't help me. This happened as soon as I told her I wanted to lower my Internet speed from Max Plus (18 mbps) to Elite (6 Mbps), cut TV service from U450 to U300, and maybe remove home phone to save money since they weren't offering any discounts. She said ALL computers in the dept were frozen and to wait 2 hours and call back. I called right back and got another rep. Wasn't frozen but she sounded annoyed after she read all the notes from my previous 10+ calls. I told her I am a senior on limited income and need to lower my bill and asked her what she could do for me. She said, "Keep the U450 and the 18 mbps Max Plus Internet (I don't stream movies or play games and don't need it) and disconnect your home phone...price $173.00 + tax." I was tired of being on the phone with them and agreed.
So now I have no home phone and my new bill including tax will be about $190.00, the same I was paying the past year for all 3 services!!! The year before it was about $165 for all 3 services...went through the same frustrating, numerous phone calls that year, as well!! AT&T doesn't care about their customers. It's just about the MONEY!! They are nothing but a big, greedy monopoly!

I don't even waste my time with the first-level Customer Care reps in the Philippines anymore. I just tell them I need to cancel services and they will transfer you to the Retention Dept., who are really the only ones who can offer discounts or promos anyway. I know I could probably get a better price if I keep calling and get the "right" rep but I have already spent hours on the phone with them and basically took the new 1-year contract just to get it over with, since the price is about the same as last year and all I can afford, but I lost my home phone that I've had for 25 years! AT&T should want to reward their long-time customers instead of just trying to get an additional $40-$50 a month out of them after another year of service with them.

When getting a new phone set up at the AT&T store, the salesperson discussed Uverse with my wife. We subsequently decided to change to Uverse because of lower cost. We scheduled an appointment and out came the installer. He looked at what needed to be done and then went outside to test the phone wires to the house. He reported that he was not getting a signal and that he would have to go to the nearest "box" to see what the problem was. About 45 minutes later he reported back that he checked with tech support and that the setup had be stopped and therefore he could not complete the install. He also said he could not spend any more time on this project but ATT would get back when the problem was resolved. That was over two weeks ago and no word.
Subsequently, we received a statement saying that we would be billed for Uverse on our next AT&T statement. It turns out the installer marked the install as completed which is fraud. In a meantime, I look at the incoming wires to the house and they are disconnected from the AT&T box. The original sales person says he can't do anything and we have to contact AT&T customer service.
There is a much longer prelude that went on for several years regarding whether there is service available to my street but that is for another time. Bottom line is that Uverse is a step child of AT&T with no accountability and I have already wasted eight hours of my life on their incompetence. It is still not resolved

Let me start by saying I was happy that we got U Verse ran through our area. They had door to door people coming to sell it. I signed up for everything. Was told I could get any type of line I wanted ran and wherever I wanted it... Also was told I was getting rewards of $200 in gift cards after a certain period of service... So installation I request Cad 6 cable. I was told they only carry Cad 5 by the service guy, which the sales rep told me they have everything and will put in what you want... I requested hard line for my tower and they hooked up wireless. When signing up for this, go over the specifics with them. They have newbie people going around selling this stuff that is not that educated in the products and installations. When dealing with sales rep, have a number handy to talk with a customer rep on what you want...

I had AT&T UVerse service for 3 years before I moved on 11/15/14. Before moving, I contacted AT&T to inquire about moving promotions, as I could no longer afford to pay the $240 monthly bill I had been paying for TV, Internet and home phone service. The agent told me about numerous discounts and moving offers that would take my rate down significantly to around $140 per month with a 1 year agreement. I agreed to that and continued with the move. My next Bill was around $140, the expected rate. The month after that they took $255 from my checking account, more than my previous rate for 3 years. Customer service was horrible. They would not agree to apply the rates and discounts promised.
I asked the manager to pull the phone call from that date and he said he couldn't but if I have a way "feel free." He was horrible, unprofessional at the most serious extreme. He told me he wasn't giving me any discounts or any credits because he didn't owe me anything. I have used AT&T services for over 20 years. This is how much they value customers.... They don't! When I called back to cancel, imagine my horror when I was told the manager I spoke to was the same customer Relations manager I would have to speak to for canceling service. He's supposed to try to keep customers, not run them away.
I will not tolerate a bait and switch by any service provider. This is illegal, unethical and completely unacceptable. I will be ending service with AT&T and will have to sue to get back the difference they took from my account. It's the principle of the issue. I'm sure I'm not the only customer who has experienced such horrible service and bait and switch offerings.

We have been with AT&T for 22 years. We had DSL and phone line for about 8 years. On December my husband called to inquire if it was possible to keep DSL Internet and do away with phone since we had cell phones. Customer rep/tech informed my husband it could be disconnected but will sound as a fax machine if someone called but DSL would not be affected. She even told my husband she was the tech and knew better. My husband told her as long as it wouldn't Interrupt Internet connection. The following day our phone line got disconnected and a few hours later DSL disconnected. We called AT&T and called corporate office. Supposedly we would get a call back but we never did. Called back AT&T and spoke to "supervisor" explained situation and he stated they would send technician to check on our home and try to hook up DSL as before. We waited 2 weeks for scheduled service.
Technician arrived and connected phone line. We asked him about our DSL connection. He stated the order indicated only phone connection and we had to call to schedule DSL hook up. We called AT&T again next morning and customer rep. stated she apologized but there was itching in the system with our number. She stated no data of our phone number appeared on the system.
I'm so frustrated and in disbelief of how AT&T has turned out to be. We talk to so many people and all they can say is "I Apologize" but nothing gets done. Sadly I was told DSL is no longer available but I would have to be put in a waiting list. We asked to disconnect phone line instead and bought hot spot device with Sprint. Just last week I got another bill from AT&T charging us for phone line. Just called and again customer service couldn't find confirmation number I provided her from December when we disconnected. What is the problem with AT&T. Loyal customers don't appear to matter! They don't care!

I signed up with AT&T Uverse two years ago for television, internet and phone. I was given a monthly charge so I set the amount up on automatic bill pay. So checks went out for the exact same amount each month. Unbeknownst to me AND unwanted by me - AT&T gave me 3 months of "free" HBO services. Not only did I not use it - I had no idea they had done it. Fast forward 3 or 4 months and my service was placed on hold.
I called AT&T and was told that I had a balance due of $230. Because I did not call to cancel the "free" HBO, I was charged for the service and charged late fees for the overage. So even though I was always on time with my payment, the payment was not enough to cover the unwanted HBO. I've called several times and they've offered me a reduction in the amount - a reduction for the fees which should never have been on my account to start with. I am also an AT&T wireless customer and will shut down that service. It boggles my mind that this company can be so short sighted about customer relations. If I wanted HBO I would have signed up for HBO!!

Anyway the AT&T rep said they could not remove the charge, I had to get Excel to do that. I called Excel and they claimed they had no record of me, my address, or the DSL phone number and therefore could not remove the charge and that the charge must have been added by AT&T by mistake.
I called AT&T back and told them what Excel said and the response was "You have to call Excel and get them to remove the charge." They did refund me the amount of the charge. But this has been going on for eight months now. Every month I have to spend an hour or more on the phone with AT&T and Excel going in circles with neither company able to remove the charge.

Installation took most of the afternoon. AT&T claims that U-Verse Internet is supposed to be much faster than basic DSL, but after testing down/upload speeds several times this wasn't the case. Furthermore my iPad doesn't' connect to the Internet and is not recognized by U-Verse's router. Tech support is clueless and essentially worthless. After explaining the problem I was told my iPad was the cause and to contact Apple.
The iPad has always worked perfect since I purchased it. I didn't experience this problem until the U-Verse modem/router was installed today. Yet when I suggested an incompatibility issue tech support claimed they've never heard of this problem before. Even though online forums document countless compatibility concerns of a similar nature. Clearly another example of huge corporations that have divided up vast regions for themselves where there is virtually no competition. Therefore they can play by their own rules, i.e., maximizing profits with hidden fees, pathetic tech support. Pushing so-called "state of the art" equipment that in reality is unrefined, beta quality at best; and, refusing to acknowledge the many on going flaws and glitches of their products.
Furthermore, AT&T's telemarketing tactics are incessantly relentless, e.g., waking me up in the morning, calling twice a day, 7 days a week. After several years of this harassment I requested them to stop, I wasn't interested and put them on the NoCall list. However the calls persisted. I finally cancelled AT&T and switched to Comcast, but they're no better. Same incompatibility issues with their "cutting edge" Xfinity X11 HD cable box which they also claim to have never heard of before. Yep,.. you guessed it: online forums list numerous problems with capability with AV receivers.
This is the "free market" capitalism that is supposed to benefit all. A system with virtually no competitors and small companies can't survive due to the cut-throat predatory business practices of conglomerates too big to care if their products and service "sucks". Where else can the consumer go for anything better when there's no alternative?
Whatever happened to anti-trust laws that were initiated during Theodore Roosevelt's tenure to prevent the system from being dominated by ruthless, avaricious Gilded Age corporate giants. The apathy of the adult citizens in this country has allowed this takeover of our political/governmental system which is best described as legalized corruption for the benefit of the Plutocrats. Whose millions ensure their obedient *shills, (the *selected by the controlling elite, self-entitled .01%), politicians who eagerly obey their corporate masters to remain a lifetime membership in the "club" of Washington DC insiders where the real power and wealth reside.

Due to AT&T's relentless, aggressive telemarketing practices, e.g., 2-3 calls a day, 7 days a week as early as 8:30am, and AT&T refusing to cease these calls.I cancelled my AT&T landline and internet service on January 19, 2015. Nevertheless, I received a threatening letter dated February 13, 2015 stating I had ignored their previous attempts to collect payment. When in fact I received zero notices from AT&T regarding this matter. I contacted AT&T the same day spent more than 1 1/2 hours being recycled through live representatives and automated voices. Ultimately ending back to the same automated message from my initial call 5 times!
Finally I was told by a live AT&T live representative to disregard the collection letter and that my December 31, 2014 payment of $129.70 was good through January 2015. Nevertheless, today March 9, 2015 I received another debt letter from AT&T for the same terminated account. I again experienced the same "***-around" by being transferred to one representative to another without any positive results. This time I was told that the charges of $109.36 were for services rendered in January.
A total contradiction of what I was told last month when I contacted AT&T concerning this billing. By researching consumer complaints against AT&T there are literally thousands of similar issues documenting disreputable billing practices. Apparently AT&T is de facto illegal monopoly run by unscrupulous, avaricious swine who couldn't care less how poorly they treat their customers, because by default they know your choices are very limited at best. A classic example of how big money interests have rigged the "game" against those who actually work for a living.

Now even though I have never liked AT&T, tah dah after we had installed, we noticed that our Internet had really slowed down. We called AT&T and they supposedly sent a signal to the house to speed it up. To be honest, I never saw it get better. Anyway, the boxes will just reset themselves at any time. If you try to record more than one program, the television starts to lag, so recordings wouldn't play back properly. Basically AT&T U-Verse sucks!

For anyone thinking of switching to AT&T for any reason... don't. I moved down to Fishers, IN a few months ago and had to cancel my Comcast cable from my previous residence because their service wasn't offered in my new apartment complex. Maybe Comcast realized they couldn't provide a high enough consistency in connection services and opted to not install here. Doubtful, but one can hope. I get signed up online for AT&T and set a service date. I then see they charge $200 total for setup, activation, blah blah blah... whatever, most services have some type of setup or deposit fee required. I sign up for the 18mbps speed (obviously that is the "max" speed and I am not receiving anywhere near it, thus why I am writing this review).
When setting up furniture in the apartment, I assumed that the internet/cable services would come from the coaxial output in the main room, since that is what it is there for and I guess I assumed everyone had moved up from phone line dial-up to cable broadband. Nope, wrong on that guess! The tech started by plugging a phone line into the jack across the room from the TV, and I asked why he was doing that. He said that AT&T uses the phone lines and is trying to move away from the cable outputs. Wait... what? If I'm not mistaken, wasn't cable invented in order to get faster internet than the phone line dial-ups? So AT&T likes to move BACKWARDS in technology?
The install took longer than usual as the tech had to first take off every phone jack cover in the apartment to find where the "strongest signal" was coming from. He then had to go down the street to their routing hub or whatever and somehow redirect the signal or amplify it. So about 2 hours later, everything is finally set up and running. After he leaves, I get online and run a speed test to see how much of this "Pro Max Internet Plus" hoopity doopity promise I am actually getting. I was so happy when I saw that I was downstreaming at a whopping 3.1 mbps! I tried logging into a game I regularly played over my Comcast connection with no problems... took about 3 times longer to load, and had connection issues.
Overall, I can't wait until this year long contract is up and I can move somewhere that has Comcast connections. Before having AT&T I was often impressed with how smooth their TV interfaces and quality appeared to be. Now I know that those high quality TV connections were sapping the life of the nearby accounts that don't have a bundle service (like me). I prefer to use Hulu and Netflix and not give AT&T another dime than I have to. I really wish I could give less than 1 star, because the 1 star rating on this is very generous...
