    I called up to change service from my deceased roommate's name to mine. In to the phone conversation 10 minutes thinking I would be quoted a special rate for my "new service", the little ** turned the service off completely and I asked why he did that and he hung up on me. I called back and a nice lady attempted to get her manager and tech support to turn it back on due to their associate's wrong decision, but was told it would be 2 days before service would be restored. I replied I was not playing their game and I would leave them, as well as dump the cell service I have on 3 phones. WHAT A ** OF A COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH. I went with another tv/internet company (Zito) and saved $84/per month during the 6 month special and will save $44/month after 6 months by leaving ATT. Kissss my butttt ATT.

    I got scammed out of 449 fee stating I’m a high risk. The service was on for a week. My mom paid the credit management fee and they told me her check bounced so they cut my service off. They’re saying since I’m the acct holder I have to pay the credit management fee plus they sent me a bill for six hundred fifty nine dollars. They scammed me the acct and at&t uverse is **. They’re ripping people. I paid all my bills on time. My ssi ** - I’m not paying no credit management fee. They’re taking advantage of me. I returned the equipment back to them at the po box 5014 carol stream il 60197 5014 a couple months ago. I’m being charged for a equipment I don’t have and services on for a week. I never ordered nothing of uverse.

    I ordered internet service back in September 2014. Kept getting mail deals from them...$19.95 a month for a year. I signed up. First bill over $120.00. They send you the equipment in the mail with an invoice telling you the first bill will require $100 payment for their high tech equipment. They should advertise that on their mail adverts or commercials. Anyways I set it up and first day already having connection problems. Constantly getting an error message from their cheap outdated routers failing to connect to their server.

    Called customer support, they send someone out the next day. He comes "fixes" it for a few hours and then again same problems. Call again they send another technician out. He tells me our phone line is somehow the problem but that he will connect it the "right" way. He's outside playing with the cords and comes back and tells me he needs to put a "ticket" in for someone higher than him to come out because the whole line needs changing. The dude comes and connects a direct line from the router to the phone line jack. Drills a hole in the walls and well says that everything should be fine. It is not, January 2015 and I'm constantly having the same issue.

    Their service is complete crap. I find that when I set my cell phone as a hot spot my internet service is much faster. I am stuck with this crappy service for a few more months. Had I known I was going to deal with this I would've NEVER signed up. Not one day goes by where I don't get "server not found" or "router failed to connect." It's pointless to contact customer support because all they are gonna do is send someone out, charge me, and then fix the problem for a few hours. My only advice is research a company's reputation and reviews from current customers because otherwise you're screwed with paying money to a company that provides the worst service.

    At&t internet is terrible. We were told when we signed up for it almost 4 years ago that the internet was highspeed and you could play video games and watch netflix without a problem. At first it started great. Then we moved to our new house 3 years ago and went to switch our service to our new house. I set up the appt and my husband waited all day at home for the tech to show up. I worked 2nd/3rd shift and by my lunch at 9:15 the tech still had not shown up. When I called At&t they said the tech knocked on the door and no one answered so he left. So I called my husband and he said he had not left the house all day. The idiot went to our old address...twice...and said we were no shows. Finally he got it right and showed up only to not have the equipment.

    Now fast forward to 1 1/2 years ago. We started experiencing problems again. We would just randomly lose connection to our wireless internet which is located right above us. Every time it happened we would have to go and reset the router. We called at&t and they sent out a tech and replaced the modem. It was fine for a week and then started doing it again. 1 1/2 years we have been dealing with this problem. 3 days ago we had it happen 3 times in 15 minutes. Finally fed up again I called them and spoke to IT on the phone. They had no idea why it was doing it and offered no help. They sent a tech out the next day who replaced the modem yet again. Also said he would be sending an outside technician to work on the lines because something was wrong with them. So 2 technicians in the same day and guess what........Internet just went out for the 3rd time today and we had to reset the router yet again.

    Their Technicians are jokes, their IT department is a joke, and the entire company is a joke. I hate paying for something I can't use half the time. Plus they raised the charges on our bill and never sent anything informing us they were doing so. Also raised the charge they add on if your payment is late without informing anyone. Avoid them at all cost and go with someone else.

    I get a machine which does not help. When I do get to talk with someone and they find out I want to cancel the u-verse because I can't afford it, they sent me back to the machine and it can't understand what I'm trying to do and it cuts me off. Hang up. I know they're going to charge me and I can't pay. Good credit is all I have and they will ruin that. This is not right.

    I became a Uverse customer under duress, with several letters from AT&T stating that chances were if I didn't trade in my AT&T DSL for Uverse I'd have the chance of being without internet service... so I complied. I have had nothing but terrible service, my dial up years ago was better than Uverse. I am constantly being knocked offline, and lose my internet... at least 4 or 5 times a day. I play online games, and service is a constant failure. My browser won't load multiple images through google... I could go on and on about the lack of service.

    My mom that lives next door and my other neighbor that also have Uverse have the same exact issues. I will lose service for a day or 2 at a time which is a real problem for my 78 year old mom because she has her home phone through UVerse, which also goes out. AT&T should have covered all their bases before they even offered UVerse. They also claim I cannot go back to the DSL I used to have... in others words I'm stuck with the crappy service, and have to pay for it. So sit down and shut up... yeah I'm pissed... I have every right to be. AT&T Uverse SUCKS!

    My family and I have been loyal AT&T customers for years and we have had small issues here and there but never anything big until now. My U-verse installation was scheduled for January 17th from 1-3. Unfortunately due to a busy work schedule I unknowingly had to return to the office Saturday and work from 10 am to 6pm. At around 12 o'clock I received a call from an unknown 918 number and because I was busy at work, I could not and did not answer. No voicemail was left and because I could not have a lengthy conversation I text the number saying "Who's this?" And the response I received was nothing more than "Andrew".

    Not knowing who "Andrew" was I sent the number another text and said "Who?" To which he finally replied "Your AT&T tech. I am here to install your internet." Since he was an hour early and I had asked a family member, my grandfather, to be there around one I replied to Andrew, let him know that he was early and that someone would be there at one o'clock. After he had installed the unit everything seemed to be over and done but I received another text from Andrew, which at this point made me feel somewhat uneasy as I thought that he should have called and left a voicemail, saying that he had left a tool at my apartment and when would someone be home to let him in to get it. Nowadays you can never be too cautious with strangers so I told him that he could pick it up from my apartment office that following Monday, January 19th.

    Andrew responded by saying "It needs to be today or Sunday." This I felt was highly inappropriate as it was Andrews’s negligent behavior that put him in this position. Having already called AT&T to tell them about my experience and that I felt uncomfortable they had informed me that they had emailed his supervisor and told him to contact me directly as well as told him that Andrew could pick up the tool Monday in my apartments main office.

    Andrew I suppose was not satisfied and went into my Apartments office and talked to management asking them to let him into the apartment to get his tool. My apartments then contacted me and said, “When will you be home to let him in” to which I responded “I am at work and cannot be home and have already instructed Andrews supervisor saying that he can pick up the equipment Monday in my apartments main office.” He then told us that he could not do Monday because he was "Going on vacation". Again that not being my problem - I could not leave work to accommodate this negligent employee.

    Andrew text me one more time and asked for his equipment today. I did not respond because I too was at work and needed to focus on the project I had been working on. My grandfather could not reconcile the situation either as he had to attend a friends funeral and there were no other options available. AT&T decided that the best course of action was then to call the police on me. I received a phone call while at work saying that they were going to press larceny charges against me if I was not home in 30 minutes. I explained to the officer what had happened and that I was busy at work, about 45 minutes away from my apartment but Andrew, having lied to the police officer saying that I did not respond to his text asking for his equipment, that I told him and his supervisor that he could pick up on Monday at the office, the police officer continued to ask that I returned home to give the man his equipment.

    I then had to call my grandfather and ask that he leave where he was, having to leave my grandmother alone at a restaurant, and go to my apartment because, as AT&T told me "he could lose his job" - not that I was at work and could lose mine for his negligent behavior. AT&T continuously reminded me that they were trying to come to a “peaceful resolution to this issue...” Doesn't seem like calling the police is peaceful. His supervisor is to contact me in Monday but I'm not so sure he'll be much help either.

    I ordered Uverse for my home phone and internet on 1-9-15 and they came out on 1-16-15 to install. When the tech showed up he said the order had been wrote for my cell phone number, not home phone. He called in to Uverse and said it was cancelled and a new order put in for the home phone. Both number I've had for more than 10 years. So he proceeded to hook up internet and new date scheduled for home phone because of new order. After 3 hours he left and so did I.

    Once I was out I realized my cell phone had no service (AT&T Mobility) which I have had service with them for 15 year with the same phone number and have never been late on a bill. Uverse canceled my cell number and ported my number into never never land. I called them as soon as I got home and was treated like I was the stupidest person on earth.

    I was transferred to at least 5 people who I had to explain the story over and over and no one could help me. After 4 and a half hours on the phone, we were told they would call us back at 8 am the next morning. GUESS WHAT? No call and when I called them at 10:45 am I was on the phone again for 4 hours and 45 minutes. I was transferred everywhere and I had a case number and every person's ID # that I spoke to. When I got off the phone nothing had been fixed or done. I was told I would have cell service back in 7-10 business days.

    I use that phone for my business and I have 2 kids. I need my phone and Uverse doesn't care. It was Uverse's mistake from the beginning and I've suffered for it. 8 or more hours on the phone with them, a missed call of a family member in ICU, and my oldest kid out of town with my number as her emergency number. I'm so stressed and it's still not fixed. If anyone can get me info on how to speak with someone in management at AT&T, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I switched from Comcast to ATT tv and internet because it was cheaper. I've had the service for almost 4 mos. and have had nothing but trouble with the on demand programming. When I am watching a network series on demand, it will suddenly go out with the message that programming is temporarily unavailable. When it comes back (which sometimes isn't until the next day), the episode I was watching is no longer available. For instance, I was watching EP2 and then going to watch EP3 afterward of Ascension on Syfy, it went out, and the next day only EP1 was available. EP 2 & 3 never became available again.

    I called and they checked everything out (for the 3rd time since the same thing happened before with 2 other series on different networks). They said all was okay and couldn't explain it except to say that they have no control over programming. This also explains why it takes up to a week to be able to see a new series episode on ON DEMAND because essentially, ATT farms out their programming so they can't do anything about programming complaints anyway. I'm not making this up because a tech person finally told me this after not being able to find anything wrong with my equipment and it was about my 4th complaint.

    I should clarify that all of my ON DEMAND problems are with free shows only, I never have problems with series on Premium channels. It is so infuriating to see your episodes available one minute only to have them disappear the next. I'm going back to Comcast because at least their programming is top notch and they actually control it.

    I opted to go with AT&T U-verse as my internet provider to enjoy the convenience of bundling my cell phone service and, as the sales rep promised, to lower my data plan thus lowering my cell bill. I agreed to a $35/mo. Internet plan but each month my bill is over $90. I called and the rep gave my several different explanations of what and why my bill was so high, none of which made sense. They claimed to be charging me installment fees for the tower, which was never explained to me, or given the option to use my own.

    Another fee was to have a tech come out to see why I couldn't initially connect. When the tech was sent out he told me that I would not be charged $99 because it was an outside wiring issue on their end. In the end I was so frustrated trying to get decent explanation from them that I asked them to cancel my service. This resulted in me getting stuck with roughly a $400 bill. Needless to say, they got their money and more than they deserved from me.

    For the last 2 weeks, I have been told that they didn't receive my payment for November. I did what they asked and faxed my proof of payment and got a confirmation number which they say will take 2 weeks to investigate. I have asked to speak to a supervisor and have never got through to one. I have been a loyal customer for many years and have NEVER missed a payment.

    I even have my cell phones thru AT&T. I also was told that a payment was credited to my account on January 12th by check. I have NEVER paid by check so clearly somebody else paid the bill and didn't get credit for it. I am sick to my stomach and have never been treated so disrespectful in my life.

    I have been an AT&T (formally Bellsouth) customer for 30 something years. To make a long story short U-verse just became available in my subdivision and I can bundle Phone, Internet at 6mb but no TV. My next door neighbor bundled Phone, Internet 18mb and TV. So why am I be discriminated against and not allowed the same deal. Two of my neighbors have DSL 6.0 and I am only allowed 3.0. The Cable distance has nothing to do with this as I proved that to AT&T but still they would not budge. Now after placing my order for U-verse, AT&T has postponed the install date by three weeks, I’ve been waiting for 2 weeks now for a call back about this U-verse discrimination. Writing this will do no good because AT&T is a Monopoly Corporation and does not care about their customers. Unfortunately the only other alternative for Internet asset in my subdivision is the expensive satellite or wireless. The AT&T Monopoly wins every time!

The next day they sent a tech out to restore my service. I found out I had the wrong modem and that tv service was available. The tech verified w/ tech support and they concurred at a very good range.

    This George ** called me to see if my service was restore. I told him yes and informed him the uverse can be transferred to my home. He said that the tech was not telling the truth. I called and spoke w/ a AT&T rep. she said I could transfer my bundle pkg. By that time I had gotten so frustrated. This George ** called again and I asked him for the address to write a complaint. He refused to provide it or supply me with a order number. I have never been so disgusted. I don't care for Xfinity but, I will be moving my service IMMEDIATELY.

    I signed up for At&t Uverse because it was one of the only internet/phone services available where I am. I honestly had no other options that would fit anything close to my budget. I signed up in October 2013, and the bundle I was on provided unlimited Uverse phone and basic (3mbps) internet. It was okay, given that I had previously been using wireless internet devices that were on a limited data prepaid plan. I did experience many outages, and the representatives were usually helpful in that regard. Now, when the installer originally came (and installed the equipment) he said to make sure and call when our bundle deal plan was up, and that they would give us whatever bundle plan they could to keep the costs low.

    Well, sure enough, October 2014 rolled around and the plan was up. I had tried to contact At&t about switching services with no luck. I was disconnected twice via phone (which could have been circumstantial, not saying that was their fault) and never received a reply from my email. Well, shortly after that, I received my Uverse bill in my email and saw that the price had shot up by more than half. I immediately called, sat on hold an irritatingly long time, and was finally connected to a representative. I spoke with her patiently (as she did to me) and she said she could not only return my bill to the lower amount, but my internet speed would increase, from 3 to 12 mbps.

    I was just thrilled! She said that it would take effect by the end of the day, but since they'd "already printed the bill" (her words) they couldn't retroactively change the bill. So, even though I didn't really have it to spend, I ate the cost and paid it, since I was supposed to be getting the cheaper bill the next month. I thought that was the end of it. Then I received the November bill. It was still showing the higher amount (which was the same $ amount as advertised for the 12 mbps plan, but only at 3 mbps), I thought that there must have been a clerical error, and I called again. The person I spoke to then said that she had no idea WHY it hadn't gone through, but that it showed the order was still processing from a month before. She started to give me the run around of "Check back when that order has completed" but I wanted answers.

    Finally she "found a way" to fix it the way it was supposed to be at the price that was promised and then she credited the then current bill the difference so I would only pay what the previous person said I would. She was looking at it in my account records, so they knew. Again, I was told that the higher speeds would take effect, and that the next bill would be the lower price. She apologized profusely, but fixed it. Or, so I thought.

    We then got the December bill. It AGAIN showed the higher amount instead of the promised amount. This time, I decided to use the online chat so I could save the conversation in print for my records. First, I spoke with "Daisy" and explained the problem we were now having for a third month. She looked into the records and saw that yes, it should have been changed ages ago and apologized profusely. I sat and waited on "hold" as it were, until she finally said she had to transfer me to a specialist in the customer relations office. Again, I sat.

    Then an associate named "Ventura" came on, had me wait while he went over all of the account records, and assured me he could help. He said he could get me to a lower rate (slightly higher than the original promised, but just by a few $) and promised that my speeds would be up "by the end of the day". I then asked again for a bill total, at which time he said that I would have to pay the higher amount and be "credited" the overage on the next month's bill. Well, obviously, I don't trust them at this point, so I say No, and make sure he changes it just the same way the previous associate did. He "fixed it" for me, and promised my online account overview would reflect the change with a day or two.

    Sure enough, the online bill changed in time for me to make the payment. Well, right after the online chat I received an email about a change to my services, so I went and looked. There it showed that there would be "services" installed that day (January 9, 2015) meaning the speeds would change. I thought it was finally over. Then I paid the bill today (Jan. 13, 2015) with the lower cost shown. And shortly afterward I received yet another email about services changing. I almost didn't check it, but I'm glad I did. I clicked the link and was taken to the "customer service summary" for my account. It showed the "order" placed on January 9th had been CANCELLED. I didn't do it, obviously.

    I also noticed that every single other order from all the previous calls had been cancelled as well. It did however show that a new "order" had been placed today (I had spoken to no one, only paid the bill online today) and should take effect by tomorrow (Jan 14, 2015). That "order" has my bill going right back up to a higher amount with the lesser speeds... Oh, and my speeds are still showing at 3mbps and STILL haven't gone up. I've taken screen grabs and downloaded PDFs for everything I could think of, and I'll have to contact them tomorrow. I'll be using the online chat so I can save it for my records. Unfortunately, I'm on contract until this coming October but I'm getting real sick and tired of this.

    Frustrated that we have been AT&T landline and Internet service customers for 15+ years and DirecTV customers for over 10 years. I recently upgraded my cell phone, also through AT&T, and was told that soon DirecTV and AT&T would be bundled. I asked about pricing but they were still in the merging process. The representative told me to wait until that was done, and that there would be promotions for EXISTING customers offering them good deals to bundle.

    I went to and AT&T store and talked with a rep there and they had no deals to offer or any news of upcoming deals. I have no complaints with either company as far as service or quality of service. We have received great customer service and help when we needed it. I just feel that new customers get all the breaks and good deals and the loyal customers don't get anything. Maybe if we switch companies for a while we can come back and get the deals...

    Here is my issue with ATT. First, ATT replaced the service in my apartment complex and they became the exclusive provider in my area. I'm mentioning that, to explain that I couldn't switch my service to anybody else. ATT got me stuck with a very high price for a service that I don't need. I called ATT and they gave me an offer for internet that cost 50 dollars a month. The deal was like this: I'll be paying 45 dollars for internet and 5 dollars for TV. The sales rep said that I should get that so I can get free installation. She also explained that I can cancel the TV at anytime, but I figured that I wouldn't, since it only cost 5 dollars.

    After the first month the bill came back with 83 dollars after taxes, ATT wasn't charging me the same amount that I was told will be charged. When I called them, they said that I can't cancel the TV. (I was suppose to pay 5 for, but I ended up paying more than 20 dollars.) The reason was that I already passed the trial period (which I was never told about).

    I contacted ATT many time and tried to resolve the issue. They did refund me some money to lower my bill (about 4 dollars a month).

    In the Spring of 2013, I dropped my Direct TV services and signed up with U-verse. That is because the sales rep with U-verse promised me a package which included my home land line, my internet services, and my TV services. The package that he quoted me was $118.00 with tax. He told me that with tax, my bill should come to about $127-$128 per month. It was a deal too good to refuse. For the first six months, his quote proved to be accurate and truthful. But after six months, my bill averaged $160-$175 per month. AT&T U-verse has failed to address this issue. I never signed up to pay this excessive amount.

    After 7 years with Charter, I decided to give AT&T a try. I ordered Internet with an offer to try TV for 30 days. I cancelled the TV and returned the TV box, AT&T reconfirmed a monthly inclusive fee of $35 for internet service. HOWEVER, my July AT&T invoice for the amount of $192.52. I spoke with an AT&T rep who promised to correct the bill. However, My August bill was in the amount of $144.25. I then took an extended lunch break from work, phoned AT&T and spoke with a supervisor. He promised to make the needed corrections to my bill to reflect the promised monthly fee of $35. I then received a September bill for $96.26.

    I phone AT&T spending over 45 minutes on the phone again in yet another attempt to get my bill corrected. July to October I paid AT&T well over the contracted amount of $35/monthly. AT&T discounted my service twice in the midst of them trying to correct my billing forcing me to pay the erroneously overstated bill which AT&T employee did not have the training to correct. I was told by several co-workers that AT&T had the worse customer service compared to their competitors. I learned for myself that this is true.

    I am now back with Charter. I pay $5 more per month for faster speed internet service and my first statement is correct. My fear now is that AT&T will send me yet another inflated bill in an attempt to cheat me out of additional money. It will be me against this big company but I am reminded by several of my coworkers that if AT&T is scamming me then it’s also getting extra dollars from many other customers who cannot or will not fight for integrity and fair business practices. Four months is more than enough time to get a correct invoice from any reputable company.

    I have been with AT&T and UVERSE for over 18 years, and all they do is go up on the bad service, reception, outages. New Customers get cut rate deal, but old customers get the shaft. Beware if AT&T offers you a good deal on service, every year thereafter they go up. If at all possible do not use AT&T, because after 18 years your bill will sky rocket out of sight. I know, why am I still with them, I must be stupid. Yes, you heard me right.

    I have been with AT&T Internet Basic service for about 5 years, introductory offer of $14.95 - no problem. Year after, rates jumped to $19.95; year later had me at $29.95, called and they lowered it to $23.00 for the last year. In November 2014 I received a bill for $28.00, so I called and spoke with someone who clearly couldn't speak English. She transferred me to the customer satisfaction department, spoke with a very nice lady named Lisa. She went ahead and thanked me for being a loyal customer and put me back on a promotion rate of $23.00 for another year. That's where the fun starts.

    Received a bill for my internet services for $38.80, once again we have basic internet. So I called and spoke to a representative and I said there clearly was a mistake. I had explained I called in November and spoke to Lisa on 11/10/2014 and already resolved this issue. To my surprise the gentlemen said he didn't have any record of that conversation and said that the best he could do is give me a $5.00 discount, making my bill $33.80 a month for my services.

    I'm happy to say I have cancelled my service with AT&T and will never do business with this huge company ever again, and will spread the word. I'm in the customer service business and I have better things do with my time than write a blog about AT&T, but im really disappointed in the way I was lied to and feel flat out cheated.

Everyday they have scheduled someone to come out and install service and everyday they haven't shown up. As I write this on a Saturday and another no show the operator is giving me some excuse as to them not showing up and that they "deeply apologize for the inconvenience". No one knows what is going on over there and you never speak to the same person... They are good at putting notes under your account but they don't know how to read them and follow through with their commitments. I'm sure they expect me to wait another day for them to come out and install new service... considering that tomorrow is Sunday that means it would have to be on Monday and miss another day of work for most likely a no show number 6?

    The thing I am most upset about with AT&T Uverse - and I get internet, cable, and home phone service from them - is the pricing. It isn't transparent, it seems it's always more than they claim. They tack on charges for every little thing. When I added internet service, the price for the service did not include "High Speed Internet Equipment Fee" of $7 per month... and the kicker is NO NEW EQUIPMENT WAS ADDED. They simply allowed me access to the data services already in my home because the Uverse equipment was already there. They charged me a big one-time fee to "hook up the internet service," the technician was in my home less than 10 minutes, then they charge me a monthly equipment fee. Just go with a more transparent, honest, up front pricing company. You will save yourself the anger and frustration of all this backdoor pricing and add-on fees.

    Summary: In 2015, I'm unsure as to how a company can claim to provide a 'fiber optic' service where, admitted by their representatives, the only 'fiber' they have merely runs between their own proprietary routing/data centers. You read that right - per their own admission, they will not run fiber to your home... they'll run it to their nearest 'center,' and provide you with a DSL connection. This is, in no way shape or form, a fiber optic connection - the throughput of a fiber connection is around 1pb/s, or 1 million terabytes per second - you are transmitting data at the speed of light, mind you. The services offered by U-Verse in my neighborhood, in the center of a major metropolitan area, the second largest city in the United States, is maxed out at 12mp/s for "service level" connections, meaning there is 12mp/s service level 'speed' between the modem in my home to their first piece of routing hardware, which is likely in the same building or down the street. The actual speed is somewhere of around 1.1-3.0mb/s down, and around .75mb/s up - so, between 1/10th - 1/3rd of their advertised 'speeds.'

    Further, as also admitted by their representatives, these 'speeds' will be sacrificed for TV service in the area. I have only the internet, and my neighbor has TV through AT&T - per their admission, they will 'shape' and ultimately degrade my service for the sake of my neighbor having a clear picture on his TV. This is the same as selling someone a car that is capable of traveling 5,000 miles per hour, but tailoring every single other piece of the car to ensure that the car can go no more than 2 miles per hour - or making a car capable of traveling 5k miles per hour, but ensuring that it's speed cannot increase to the point where other cars appear to be going slower than it.

    I did just that and was told by the store manager that "they do not handle that - I would have to call in". I explained that I had already done that, but she insisted that I call and ushered me physically out the door. I called again and got the same routine and told that I should go to the store. I am frustrated and appalled at how I was treated. No empathy and no one willing to stop and think through their process made no sense.

    AT&T Uverse customer service is so extremely convoluted if they owe you money. They want the customer to give up so they lie, cheat, and steal to secure the trivial amount of money they owe you. If they ask for your phone number and say they will call you back within 48 hours, they never will. This happened to me 5 times when trying to get a refund for equipment that I returned. July 1st I returned the equipment and was told I would get a refund of 108.75 (99.99 plus tax).

    After waiting for the check and the check never came, I called back and was told the check was coming. Again, the check never came. Then they said the check was denied because they needed me to file a claim including proof that I indeed paid for the equipment, even though there was a credit on my account for 108.75! They already gave me the credit on my account but refused to issue me the refund check because they required me to show proof of purchase of equipment, but I was already enrolled in auto-debit billing where they automatically deduct your charges every month on the same day. So they clearly had a record of this, they were just adding a little extra "** you" to the equation. Needless to say it was a war of attrition but they messed with the wrong person.

    On average, busy people don’t have hours and hours to deal with their ** customer support labyrinth. Lucky for me I’m single and have nothing better to do after work. So, I spent maybe a total of 12-15 hours on the telephone trying to get my refund and demanded they included interest on my refund at 6%. They assured me I would also get an extra $50 credit for wasting my time. I got the check today, 6 months later after bugging them every two weeks for 6 months. They did not include the 50$ they said they would. But hey, I was a win because I never thought the check out come. I just hope it does not bounce.

    If anyone has experienced erroneous charges for something and then were denied a refund until you gave up or wanted to give up, please contact me because I intend to start a class action lawsuit against AT&T in the city of San Francisco. I would estimate if AT&T owes money to 100 people, only 5 only have the fortitude to persevere through their multiple tiers of **, deceptive customer service.

    A significant portion of their profit, I would imagine, is from over-charging customers who automatically pay every month at the mercy of AT&T's liberal over-charging antics and the consumer never gets the refund they are promised assuming they discover they are overcharged. It was and is war of attrition and AT&T needs to know that consumers will win this fight. Consumers will prevail if we are united in dropping our AT&T services and demand refunds for overcharges, erroneous charges, even if it takes 6 months to get a refund check. AT&T is going down and I need your help. Please contact me.

    Four months ago I went online to try and find an affordable bundle for my rental house (which my son lives in). The one I found was suppose to be for TV, Internet, Phone for $79/mo for 2 years which included 140 TV channels. He had two extra TV's because we rent out 2 bedrooms so it was an extra $8/TV ($16 extra) which would be $95 per month plus tax... approximately $120/mo. The bills began arriving ranging from $156 to $176. I spent several hours each month on the phone trying to get my bills down to where they should have been. One month a supervisor did drop it to $122 and then another to $101. But then it went right back up again.

    I left Bright House to try to get a cheaper service for this rental house and was thinking about changing my personal residence if it worked out satisfactory. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. After the last bill which I just paid of $144, I have decided to DROP AT&T and go back to Bright House. I am 84 and a widow and I have to know each month what my bills are going to be. I feel that AT&T makes all of these offers and then never lives up to them. When you call and try to get it resolved, they start trying to tell you what all the charges represent.

    Everyone that answers (which I have talked with several supervisors) all tell you "OK this will be your monthly charge" and then when the bill comes it is much more. You can NEVER get the same person back again that you previously talked with. I have tried to get a Corporate Office address to write to but that does not exist on the website either. GOOD LUCK to anyone trying to sign up and get what is promised to them. I am cancelling the service today....and will NEVER again contact AT&T for anything.

So I call AT&T a third time to let them know about this error, they fix the address everything is great... Wrong again!

The other associate took photocopy of the note which had the promised rebate. I was told that I'll receive a followup call. Nothing happened after that. I did not had tv when I book the connection. I told the associate about that. He told that's not a problem as I can connect the att dvr to my laptop and watch it. When att technician came to my apartment to set up the connection, he refused to do it without a tv. I was on lengthy call with his supervisor and later on with att customer care about how they cannot set up the connection without a tv. I asked to set up internet alone which he refused to do. I had to scramble to get a temporary tv and had couple of weeks delay to get my internet. Store associate told he'll waive the set up fee which was not waived. As I did not had time for follow up, I ended up paying for it.

    When I booked the connection me and store associate worked out around $46 as my monthly price however I ended up paying $72 for first few months and after that it reduced to $64. Plus the initial set up fee. My resolve to stay away from att further gained after this experience.

Knowing we didn't use the home phone, we decided to scrap that as well. Now, a mere 35 days later I am without Internet as I have had 4 different bills come in from AT&T. As a military member on a very fixed income, the mere fact that I decided to stay with AT&T instead of switching to another company implied that I would receive some sort of loyalty rates. Instead I have several different install charges with an old DSL bill and new U-verse bills coming in at the same time. I can only afford to pay AT&T once a month but am now stuck with $230 in bills just to get to a point where I can pay the $49 reconnect fee a month after getting new service.

Apparently AT&T U-Verse has NO customer service after 5:30pm. They have an automated system that takes you in circles, with NO options to speak to a live representative for assistance.

    The next 3 days with multiple attempts I was still not able to make communication with anyone at AT&T U-Verse, and I was a missing student in my online program. At this point I contacted my AT&T cellular provider to see if they could assist me in some way. This representative was unable to assist me as he told me U-Verse was separate and unrelated in any way to the phone provider’s customer service department. He was helpful in the sense of verifying the fact that there was NO one I could speak with at AT&T U-Verse after 5pm. At this point with NO other way, nor failure in my online program being an option, I was forced to find another service provider. Still trying to contact AT&T U-Verse and communicate my issue, I was unsuccessful.

    After having a day off of work, and being able to call between the limited hours of U-verse’s availability, the automated system told me I could not speak to a representative until a payment was made. AT&T U-Verse would not let me speak to anyone regarding my balance. My issue is now in collections and they are threatening to ruin my credit if I do not pay. I lost my dispute and the collection agency told me that AT&T was the ones who made the decision to decline my dispute. I can’t even get a 3rd unbiased party to look into this. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    AT&T has to be the worst internet service that you can ever pay for. If I could give this review 0 stars I would. Half of the time the internet service kicks me off of my laptop or my Xbox. It takes up to 10 hours just to install an IOS update for my phone while it takes 30 minutes for my friends that have other internet service providers. I STRONGLY recommend that no one get this internet service. After calling AT&T they stated that they are taking out internet service in our area for DSL so we would have to upgrade to U-verse. AT&T is just scamming everyone into upgrading to U-verse.

    I was told my bill would be $102 a month, $20 less than my current provider. Sixty days after it's now $122. I thought I had everything settled before the 30-day policy to leave. Not so, added fees not discussed, raised the pricing after the 30 days. 60 days into AT&T and a cost of $180 if I cancel or change my agreement in anyway. Cannot even down grade the package I have without incurring $180 fee. Very disappointed in AT&T. Always thought of them as a reputable company. Sure have no concern for their customers.

    The AT&T Uverse experience is out right infuriating. New 250 GB monthly bandwidth caps cripple users like myself who wish to cut TV cable and rely on internet services. I don't understand why I'm paying for 18 MBps service when I'm usually throttled to 1.5 MBps, maybe 5 MBps on a good day. I'm constantly bombarded with their 'limited time offers' for TV service that I have no interest in, but instead must suffer in my internet service. Streaming videos must constantly buffer, websites take forever to load, etc., etc. the plights go on.

    Their website claims a small percentage of customers have caused the bandwidth limits and throttling, which, I'm sure is true on the aggregate. However, I'm a customer who uses the internet for online streaming services such as Netflix, PC gaming (which most are online and have moved to a convenient digital download service), and general web surfing. Not to mention I live in an apartment and share service with my roommate. 250 GBs a month is nowhere near enough nor do I believe it right to charge for more monthly bandwidth; monthly bandwidth that I'm not receiving promised speeds to begin with. So instead of increasing service and upgrading infrastructure, AT&T has decided to limit us 'few'.

    I dealt with Comcast, Time Warner, Directv and Verizon in the past. I just bought a new home and figured I would give U verse a try. My bill was supposed to be around $160 monthly which was a little more than I was used to paying with other companies. I like Uverse but I don't think it's worth the money. Plus, the bill was inconsistent. Customer Service hours suck and when they are available, can be flat out rude. I was recently offered to switch to Directv to lower my bill. At&t recently bought them out. The bill is supposed to be cheaper.

    I have experienced Xfinity, Comcast, and Charter. They are all better and cheaper than At&t Uverse. My previous service provider was Charter. I had Internet, phone, and cable (Basic plus, HD channels, 3 receivers, and DVR service) and it was about the same price as my service now with At&t (basic cable channels with one receiver and internet). I don't know what I'm paying for. I love to watch tv and because I got so annoyed with their overall setup, I purchased Netflix. The on-demand categories are placed in a way that just doesn't make sense. It's so frustrating waiting for each selection to load. They always have technical problems. The internet is expensive and slow. There is a $50 dollar restoration fee. $50 just to remotely restore your service, not to come out and physically reconnect but to literally take one second to turn your cable back on. If you have other options, my advice is to stay away from At&t.

    I am completely unhappy with the horrible service provided by AT&T Uverse. You have to pay extra for HD service, but you cannot watch it on more than 2 televisions at once in your home! And if you are taping a program in HD, which they say in their commercials that you can tape for programs at once, it disconnects your other televisions that are viewing high Def TV at the same time. Plus, it constantly gives you error messages that the pause, rewinding, fast forward functions are currently unavailable! I had a better viewing experience with free over the air TV!!

    My experience is somewhat different (at least so far) from many of the complaints I read on this site. I became very dissatisfied with the TV programming the Dish offered and thought perhaps switching to U Verse would be an improvement. A friend had actually warned me about her miserable experience with U Verse and hers was over billing problems much like the comments I read on this site.

    My complaint is that U Verse is the epitome of very bad "user service" because the software was not designed to be user friendly. A couple of examples: 1) I specified my language choice as English (with no offense to Spanish speaking folks intended at all) so what gets displayed on the tutorials, program selections and several other charts is both English and Spanish and 2) when I use the program search function by entering some of the letters such as "NFL" I get presented with channels that are both in English and Spanish, include cast members and which do not reasonable identify the program to be displayed should I select any one of the choices offered. I have up to January 2nd to cancel the service (without penalty as I have been told) and I am very seriously considering cancelling. Bottom line, this service seems to have been rushed to the market place without a reasonable sanity check by anyone who wasn't a geek!

    We were sold a bill of good by an AT&T door-to-door salesman, about fiber optic cables, better picture, more channels, and more movie channels for a lot less money. Once it was said and done we save about 30 dollars a month for a one year contract, and after that we were told would need to strike another deal. We also had to give up our home phone in this deal. The service was terrible, picture quality was awful. All the movie channels weren't HD, if we wanted our regular channels in HD it added another 10 dollars per month. We hated the service, so we called AT&T to see if there was something we could do. They had no answers for us at all. They are well aware that they are providing an inferior product. We cancelled the service after 10 days and went back to WOW.

    Because we tried their service and weren't happy they deducted $220.00 from our account, so they charged us for two months of service for approx. 10 days of usage, not to mention AT&T has been our cellular provider for 20 plus years - now that's customer service. We walked away from WOW after being their customer for 11 years, because we thought this offer was so much better. When we decided to go back to WOW, they came back and re-installed and updated all of our equipment at no charge to us. That's how you show a customer that his business is appreciated.

    This is, by far, the worst company my husband and I have ever dealt with! The product is fine, but the billing and customer service will raise your blood pressure for sure! We joined because a couple of young girls came to our door selling the product and we liked what we heard. Our bundle package of phone, cable and internet was supposed to be $150.00 a month. We had the signed papers and everything. But, when we called them because the bill we received was for way more than that and explained that and the fact that our phone still wasn't working, they told us that was because we didn't have a bundle package for $150.00 and that we didn't get the phone service when we signed up (even though we have the signed paperwork that states $150.00 per month for phone, cable and internet). They said they would take care of it but didn't. The next bill was the same hassle. And the next. We always ended up just paying it because we didn't want to be without cable or internet.

    When they did FINALLY come out to install the phone service, which one of us had to take off work to be there for, (and the first time they said there was miscommunication and no one showed up, so one of us had to be there another day) they left the cord stretched out clear across the top of our back yard for weeks and the cover to the circuit box laying on the ground with all the wires hanging out! And because it took them so long to install our phone service, we lost the phone number we had had for 13 years. And guess what? The next bill was wrong again. We had to call them every month since we switched to them regarding our bill being wrong and every time was a nightmare. Several times we would end up just giving in and paying the bill.

    I finally switched our TV service to DirecTV. End of October I paid them $399.61 because on the phone they insisted that was my balance because of early termination fees. So, I paid them $399.61. Then I received a bill for the next month that looks like this: Previous Balance $299.61, Payment - Thank You! $399.61CR (where's the extra $100.00?), Adjustments $0.00, New Charges $211.01. Really?? So I originally was supposed to have a bundle plan for all 3 products for $150.00 a month - now just phone and internet are $211.01. And here's their so called break down on the bill: Service Total - Account Charges $68.92 (what's this for??), U-verse Internet $71.00, U-verse Voice $71.09, Total New Charges $211.01. When I call them they'll find some reason for extra $68.92 as usual.

Each month I spend an hour or more to get it corrected and the rep says all is well, and the next bill has 30 or 40 dollars more.. My present bill is supposed to be $111.00 as was last month, but it is over $137, at times I have listen to the excuses and paid the difference, knowing it was not right. Having recently recovered from a stroke I cannot stand the stress. This time I am only paying the $111, that I was promised. I pulled up my billing history, and only twice in close to four years has the bill been what was promised and quoted.

    I originally subscribed to AT&T U-verse TV and Internet, a bundle package, but later on, after completing my contract, I revised my services to only include U-verse TV because I cannot afford paying as much as what I paid for the Internet and TV together. Originally, when I signed up for U-verse and Internet, I was told a certain price that I would be paying and that I was locked in/guaranteed that specific price; however, just a month after subscribing, my bill jumped $25 more than what they said it would be so, I called AT&T trying diligently to reach somebody, which is a huge challenge in itself, and I finally reached somebody and they said they had a price increase and that the special does not say that I will be paying a certain price, but instead AT&T only offers a certain dollar amount off with the package, which does not protect the customer against price increases. I think that is BS!!! They do that on purpose, they try to reel you in and lie to you and then after a month of having service, your bill all of a sudden unexpectedly jumps up because of a supposable "price increase”.

    That is not fair to the consumer at all and someone needs to take a stand and put a halt to this bad unethical behavior that AT&T is doing! Unfortunately, I am stuck with AT&T, as the apartment complex that I reside in only has AT&T available, which prevents me from getting any other cable company out here. I found out why they have the monopoly though, for each resident that signs up for AT&T, which they have to sign up for AT&T if they want Internet and TV in this complex, AT&T pays the management a certain fee amount for EACH resident that signs up for their service, in other words, AT&T provides kickbacks to apartment communities!

    That is so wrong in what they are doing!!! When is somebody going to do something about this, seriously?! I recently revised my package and only have U-verse TV now and then, once again, I was guaranteed a certain amount/price that I'd be paying every month, including going over the itemization's for their taxes and they are still charging me $10 over that amount that I was promised. I called AT&T today and these people are genuine idiots!!! The representative hardly knew any English and she repeated herself all the time and everything she said was obviously scripted. I ended up getting perturbed at her lack of professionalism and knowledge that I hung up. I can feel my blood pressure boiling when I'm on the phone with them, it gets really bad & I literally feel sick after the phone call!! I even sent a certified letter to the CEO, whom is supposedly, "Randall Stephenson" and I received an email, but not even a letter in the mail, apologizing, but they didn't correct the problem! Oh yeah, it was a name I couldn't even pronounce, as it definitely was not anyone in America!

    I absolutely HATE AT&T!!! I am on a very small fixed income and I have cut out a lot of expenses and I would at least like to be able to have basic cable TV service, but AT&T is making it very difficult for me to have because of the skyrocketing, unfair & unrealistic prices they charge their customers! Do recommend AT&T? HECK NO!!! If you are thinking about moving into an apartment complex that only offers AT&T, you are only setting yourself up for A LOT of heartaches and MANY problems, so trust me, no matter how much you like that place where are you want to live, go somewhere else where you have a choice of what you can get for your cable because it is not worth it moving to a place that has a monopoly, where it only offers AT&T!

    Well the new modem (the guy unplugged my old and plugged up the new one) was installed (10 minutes tops). The next week I received a bill for $385. I also received a bill from a collection agency stating that I owed AT&T $50. When I called customer service, they talked all around and never answering any questions that I had. Like: Why is my bill so high? What happen to my private phone number? It is now coming up on caller IDs. Why is my internet slower than before? Why am I paying more and Why I am getting calls from a Collection agency. One guy tried to explain to me that $125 was for installation (suppose to be waived) and there was another $100 charged for labor (that was never mentioned at all). The rest of bill was for equipment rental for $7 month (never mentioned) and taxes and fees. I did not rent a modem in the past. Long story short, my monthly bill will be 64.99 plus fees and taxes, plus another $7 for the rental. That would leave me paying around $83 a month. I went from $62.46 a month (Does that really make sense to pay more when I was promised it would be $20). The rental fee and tax on service is around $18. Does that make sense? Where is my savings?

    When I complained about it he quickly got a supervisor on the phone who ended up hanging up on me. I called back and talked to someone else. They immediately got their supervisor on the phone who hung on me too. The conversation with customer service was more about them trying to get me to include cable to make it cheaper and not trying to adjust my bill. I had already heard that spiel before. So, before she hung up she did give me a number to call with my complaints.

    When I called the President of AT&T, I was told that this matter would get resolved. He said my current balance would be $85 and after I paid that then the bill should now be $64.99. So I paid the $85. Well I did see the credits on my next bill but it still reflected a balance of $168. Mind you, this is after I paid the $85. I still no longer have a private line. I never did get the Rewards card. The internet is still slow and the bill is still high. I am trying to go back to my old AT&T plan and was told that it no longer exists. Oh, just a quick FYI, I was told I could buy anything with the Reward card. I hear that is not so. So, I am going to call again and again and possibly go elsewhere after being with the phone company for at least 20 or more years.

    Just a fruit for thought: I have never had this many problems with AT&T until this whole U-verse thing rolled out. It is not a good product, the customer service is HORRIBLE and the sales people are HUGE LIARS and deceivers. I do not recommend this service to anyone. I am so glad I didn't include my cable too. Throw the ad away and keep what you have. You will get bitten too.

    I called in to pay my bill, the salesperson talked to me for an hour on the phone and tried to get me to buy all the services. I agreed to a phone line and internet (already had internet). They disconnected my internet and gave me a landline that I really didn't want, I just wanted the internet. When I called to see what happened to my internet, they said the salesman made a mistake and that shouldn't have happened. I was on the phone for another hour for him to tell me to call back the next day, nothing he could do. My son had a paper due that he couldn't complete. I called back the next day for another hour of AT&T wait and sales people, now I'm at work and this isn't going over well with the boss. The person told me my service would be restored 5 days later and that there is nothing they can do to help me or compensate me. Great service! I will be getting different service- Unbelievable..

    This is what I ordered they said to me NO... I ORDERED INTERNET THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN DISCONNECTED AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE FOR 3 DAYS, 3 HOURS A TIME FOR THEIR MISTAKE.

    I signed up with AT&T and paid for the largest package. The U450 and 21MB Internet package. I was having horrible Internet speeds and after several calls and service techs at my house, it was told to me that each cable box in my house (I have 3) takes 5 MB off your Internet and makes it unavailable for actual Internet as it is needed for the TV. Therefore, at MOST I would get 6 MB Internet (21 - 5 per TV). So I went on to my account, clicked the "Chat Live Now" link for a customer service representative and asked how much it would be to cancel my account. I was told it was $15 per month that was remaining on my account, I verified that the fee for the last 2 months would be $30 and that was confirmed (I saved the chat log). Seeing as how it was only a $30 cancellation fee, I ordered service from another provider.

    When I called in to actually cancel my account, I was told the termination fee would be $298! For 2 Months remaining! That is actually more than 2 months of keeping the service! I spoke with the supervisor and informed him that I received information from the chat agent and made a decision based on that. He informed me that the chat agents are not actually AT&T employees and nothing they say is actually binding. When I let him know that was not my problem, nothing indicated that on their website, I made decisions based on what I thought was accurate information from AT&T, he said there is nothing he will do, either I cancel and pay the fee or keep the service. Then he hung up on me! CRIMINALS!

    I own an electrical contracting business in Pearland Texas and decided to use AT&T as my provider for U-Verse and two land lines for business and fax. One month before I moved in they provided me with the phone numbers so I went and had business cards, T-Shirts and invoices made up along with online ads with the phone numbers. When it came time to move in, the phones started to ring with all kinds of telemarketers which I thought would be normal for a while until business calls started to come in. A few days later and no call I was dumbfounded to learn that AT&T had giving me two completely different phone numbers than they provided me with before. I thought that was some kind of joke but I wasn’t laughing - they were costing me a lot of money.

    After a week, I finally got the numbers they promised me and ran business as usual then the bills started to come in and they had the galls to try and charge me $600.00 for their mistakes. I didn’t pay the bill of the other numbers they gave me by mistake and tried to dispute the charges and they cut my lines off so I moved out. This was in July of 2014. It is now December and I still can't get anyone to solve the issue. They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced and fully regret going with them in the first place. For the past week now in December, I have spoken to 19 different people and they keep giving me the run around and taking me back to square one. I hope I can save one person from choosing AT&T...

    I ordered service originally for both TV and Internet. I was told that I could not order service due to an existing account being active at my new address. After many calls where I was either cut off, put on hold or basically ignored I was eventually told I could proceed. I then received email/texts saying my order could not be completed. I cancelled the order. I then ordered just Internet service and all seemed ok. On the day of installation the tech went to the wrong address due to the order being taken incorrectly. He arrived at my address and then corrected the order. After about 2 hours he informed me that he could not complete the install due to a service conflict with an existing account and left. I called support to find out why and was transferred to a Spanish speaking automated system. I called the # given by support and received a "call back during office hours" message despite it being 11am Eastern. Called support again and was put on hold and forgotten. Called again to be transferred to a number that was not in service. Called again to cancel my order and was finally able to do that. I can't imagine what it must be like to be an actual customer, but this was my worst ever experience in trying to become a customer. Appalling lack of customer service, beyond belief. Completely lacking in any efficiency or decency. How do they stay in business?

    We got AT&T because we were told that this works well like Verizon's program because we could not get Verizon at our new home. Wow, was that wrong. First, billing. When we called to get a quote, we were quoted $17 less than what our bill ended up being and yes, we did not include tax and so forth, this was just the cost of the service. Have now talked to customer service countless times (we actually have every call documented) to get this corrected. On November 12th, we finally agreed to an amount that was still $8 over the original quoted price. Got the bill and holy cow, it was now $20 over the agreed price that we agreed to in November. Called customer service once again last night and were told that it won't take effect for 1 to 2 billing cycles and by the way, received a confirmation letter in the mail of what our new payment was going to be. So my question, can I upgrade my system by about $50 and that payment not take effect for 1 to 2 billing cycles, I doubt it. So this is ongoing fun. As soon as I have a couple of free hours, I am taking all the billing confirmation letters and actual bills and sending them to the state. I am done with this game.

    Now for the system issues. We got the bundle, phone, internet, tv. Since the beginning, we have had problems with internet going out (hence, I have to write this from work), and the tv pixelating or losing connection (pretty much on a daily basis). So on this end, many calls to support and days waiting for techs to come out and to "fix" the issues. Last tech came out Sunday and believe it or not, it is worse. Now we are freezing, can't watch our taped shows from the dvr, etc. I called support once again and she could barely hear each word I said on the phone, which previously was not a problem. Before calling for support, I called the guy that came out Sunday and he told me it was a problem with my house. So the problem is worse since you came to my house and it is my house's problem? So last question, the previous people that lived my home for years, had Comcast and never had these issues so what makes my house different for AT&T. Just exhausted and frustrated with this issue!

    I've been a customer of AT&T for many years (over 22) and since I moved from my home in L.A. to another city 45 miles North, I have had nothing but problems since I signed up with AT&T U-Verse. First of all, I live in a rural area now and service/reliability is limited so I was forced into AT&T. I have not been receiving my AT&T U-Verse bill for the past two (2) months. I called last month 2 weeks after my bill was generally due via e-bill and they said they would fix it. Nope, didn't fix it. Ever since they began U-Verse fiber optics, AT&T has been a disaster, not only in their billing and service tactics but their communications are very faulty. Once again, I had to phone AT&T and it is almost impossible to get through because they say, they are having extremely high traffic. Well, this is what happens when you don't have enough people as the company wants more profit. I was told I was signing up for a two(s) year contract, but it seems they have increase my monthly charge...

    I'm on a VERY limited Soc. Security income and they are taking 1/10th of my income a month! They just increased my bill by $25.00/mo. for equipment, etc. charges. Have you looked at what the taxes are on your bill? Geez, the Government is also scamming us! I'm one ticked Senior and I'm not going to take it. I told the service rep., when we have to call every year to try and maintain our billing/contract, it's like having to schedule a colonoscopy! That's how bad it is!! We use to just get a bill that was the same every month. Now you have to beg, plead and sell your Grand Children to even try to get a decent service!

    I have been having an issue with AT&T for almost a year now. I live in the country and AT&T is the only service I can get that both me and my boyfriend can run both of our Xbox's off. When I called to set it up, I was told that their highest DSL internet could handle 2 xbox's and ipads or tablets and also phones. I had them for a year and half and had little issues. My brother lived next door and had them longer and had bad internet service. He bought a house and we decided to move in his place and rent it from him. Trying to get the service moved over was a nightmare. It took almost 2 weeks to get it connected in a place that had already had the service there. Was just switching over to my name. Since being in the new place for a year now, I have gone through 3 modem/router (combined) boxes and I sent the last one back and have confirmation that they received it but they have still put it on my bill and I have been dealing with them for 2 months now to get it off. I spend countless hours on the phone telling many people over and over that I have the confirmation that they received and that it needs to come off. Last time I looked at my bill it was still on there. I keep getting it takes 2 to 3 days to come off.

    Well, it is 2 months now and it is still on there. Then after a year and half of having them, I am now getting charged for going over 60gb of internet usage and get charged $10 for each additional gb that is added. I could not get anybody to give me a straight answer on why this is happening. I was told why they have started doing this after a year and half and we have been doing nothing different and a rep told me “Cause we have to be fair to the other people in the area.” What is that? Are you kidding me? So now, for just internet I am paying $109 a month. But it is the only one that can handle using an Ipad, Xbox's, Tablets, Phones in my area. I completely understand what people are saying about the ping. They send a service man out and it is perfect when he is there but when he is not there it is horrible. Hard to watch a movie on netflix and when we play our games they are laggy.

    It is driving me nuts that such a big company does not have better service. Something needs to be done about putting a cap on home internet. Like I told the tech, I am not the only one in my area or in the world that uses a gaming system, an ipad and/or tablet or wifi for my phone. He said two netflix movies a month would put me over my 60gb. Plus I was not told that there was a cap. I had it for a year and half and never had this problem. Nobody could tell me why for a year and half I was not being charged so much and then all of a sudden I have a cap and now I am being charged $109 a month. How can we take care of this?

    I'd give them a one star review except they are no worse than the competition. I had HORRIBLE service with Comcast for 2 years prior to swapping to AT&T, and I've had similar issues with various other internet and/or cable and/or telephone companies. I've been overcharged, lied to, unexplained service outages, idiotic tech support "solutions" (which of course didn't work), etc. My current issue with AT&T Uverse is being told my receivers (all of them) would be free for the next 12 months, yet I'm only being "refunded" for one of three. The solution is not going to another company, it is each of us taking on the responsibility for looking at our own bills, contacting support and forcing our way up the support ladder until our issue(s) are resolved. It is sad that we as consumers have to do that, but it seems that APATHY is the primary personality trait these companies look for in their employees.

    My father passed away and I tried to lower my mother's Uverse bill. I called to downgrade and they sold me on a package exactly the same they had but with faster internet. I talked it over with my mother and we agreed the price was ok and went with it. First, they came and installed new equipment. The installer left no information for wi-fi to help my mother and my sister hook up wireless devices. I can live with that, just disappointed with the extra effort ease the transition. Then our phone service was disconnected. My sister spent hours on the phone with them to get this resolved. The resolution? They gave us two phone numbers then charged extra! We get the bill and it's more expensive than before. It was around $72 more than they said it would be! I call customer service and the first guy might as well been selling cars because he had no clue. I call back just to be transferred twice and then one more transfer to be hung up on.

    Basically if you are thinking about AT&T U-verse (or any service for that matter), you should stay as far away as possible. I've had better experience with Time Warner Cable and that's saying something! If you read this review and still roll the dice with AT&T, you get what you deserve. We have been customers for a long time and kept staying with them because their good reps are very nice and polite and good at their jobs. Every time we re-up, we end up complaining because they find another way to stick it to us. If you do pick them, check your bill every month. You'll probably be here leaving a review like me at some point. Hope this helps, and for crying out loud, STAY AWAY FROM AT&T!!!

My AT&T High Speed Internet was raise up from $36.88 to $42.28 (from April, 2014 to July, 2014) and raise again $47.14 (on August, 2014) and raise $58.48 (on September, 2014), AT&T raise my bill up $21.60. Like I said I be with them for number of years, and every year I call to AT&T to block the price that they will give me on their promotion for the long term customer. I block it with $36.88 for a year, but my contract year is not over yet and in only six month they raise $21.60.

    I call AT&T and I get Andrew, like every year, I’d asked Andrew to help me out because my bill now $58.48. He talk me into the AT&T bundle that if I get UVERSE TV, I will get the same Internet High Speed that instead of $58.48 it will be $47.68 and UVERSE TV U200 will be $50.79, total is $98.47 monthly plus no installation fee, no equipment fee, and $150.00 debit card that will be activate after 30 day with UVERSE TV. I have nothing to lose just give it a try. I am planning for DirecTV, but after Andrew convince me for it plus he said my contract is over so it is the right time, and OK I go for it. He keep his word, give me $49.00 (installation fee) a week later that make $58.48 come down to be $9.48 for my September bill and my schedule to install UVERSE TV on September 13, 2014.

    I’d received my first bill with AT&T bundle is $166.42, it is shock me. I look through my bill, I see that they charge me left and right and $49.00 (installation fee) that Andrew gave me last month, this month they take it back. I call and I got Tina. She told me that I have to pay it full and next bill I will receive a small bill, it will deduct out $49.00 plus equipment fee ($7.00) for me (I have to be with UVERSE TV for 30 days). My second bill with AT&T bundle is $93.21. The equipment fee is out but I didn’t see that $49.00 deduct out for me. I call again and I get Cindy, after talk back and forth including her supervisor approve (Ms. **) then Cindy told me that she will take out $49.00 for me and I only have to pay $44.21 for this bill.

    My third bill with AT&T bundle is $156.83. REASON: I have $49.00 past due plus $9.36 late fee. I’d called again and talk with RJ, not so friendly. Then I ask to speak with the Supervisor. He put me on hold for a while then he tell me that all the supervisor is busy. Then he got my phone number so his supervisor will get back with me shortly, but then I didn’t get any phone call from AT&T for any shortly time until now. Bottom line, the AT&T sales reps has train to be liar or try to confuse the consumer with BUNDLE PROMOTION, and AT&T UVERSE TV customer service is tricky and cruel, my first experience and will be last.

    I am so sorry that I ever signed up for their services! I signed up for DSL because it was the cheapest option available. After it didn't work in my apartment, I returned the equipment and canceled service. I was told by a rep on the phone that if I do receive a bill, to not worry because they were canceling my account entirely. By the way, their phone system is extremely flawed. You end up getting transferred over and over. The most frustrating part is that each rep makes you go through your account info, THEN asks where you're calling from. I have a midwest phone area code but I live in TX, so I always end up getting transferred to the wrong place. Sometimes, they transfer me to Light Of Texas, a completely different company for phone service even when I'm calling their DSL helpline. Usually, they say they are transferring me but just throw me back into the system where it asks for my phone number, where again I give my midwestern area code + phone number and then I'm transferred back to the midwest and it starts all over again.

    It often takes up to an hour just to get to the right person. And often then, they have trouble understanding me and their connection/headset sounds like garbage. I called a second time and spend 2 more hours trying to rectify my situation with the bill. At this point I've probably spent a total of 7 or 8 hours of on the phone with this awful company. Finally, I got an Indian call center rep named "Mary" to have her supervisor approve canceling the bill. I begged them to send me proof via email that the bill was canceled, to which they just kept replying "Just back in 24 hours and you'll see that it's deleted". Here, I am on hold again. 3 days later and my $158.25 balance is STILL THERE! Oh, and at this point my letters from AT&T have said that as of yesterday, they've reported me to collections and credit agencies. Thanks a lot, AT&T. I am NOT paying for this hassle.

    I signed up for UVerse. The service was activate on 11/18/2014, and was supposed to transfer from DSL to Uverse as of 11/18/2014. As of 11/23/2014, my UVerse service was not activated. I have been calling since 11/18 to find out what happened since I have no internet access, and these idiots from UVerse kept telling me that it is a system outage. All they kept telling was that they are sorry and that to wait a couple more hours. 3 days later, I am still experience no internet and again, the UVerse so-called tech resolution support team kept telling me the same and they don't even bother to try to find out why I am not having service. So I asked them if I can have some form of internet going while they are trying to work out their system. They finally transferred me to DSL, and they were a wonderful help.

    Unlike Uverse, DSL immediate pinpointed my problem and was being very helpful. At the moment, I still don't have internet access. DSL told me they will activate my service again tomorrow... so let's play by the ear. If by tomorrow I don' t get my internet back on, I am switching over to Charter! They are cheaper than ATT by $3/month! ATT is definitely NOT doing a good job training UVERSE tech support! VERY INEFFICIENT! VERY VERY! I will never recommend ATT!

    Agreed to update from dsl internet to uverse internet. Did not want to lose landline and could not afford to pay any more but technician who came to the house put a hard sell on uverse phone by saying we would be paying too much for phone and internet separately. Technician had us talk on phone to customer service who quoted $56 plus taxes total for one year for both. Now we are getting bills for 63 and 75 for the first two months. They are charging us for calling non att customers over and above the 56. We are now being told that's the package we have (even though they concede that there's nothing in their notes stating we were told that was part of the package). Their solution is for us to upgrade and pay more money. Considering that they guaranteed we would not be paying any more, this solution is a kick in the face. The last kicker? They have also advised us that we have a year contract and will have to pay a penalty if we cancel. Stay away from AT&T U-verse!

    I live on a 55-acre parcel of land with at least 50 other residences that would like to have AT&T internet service. The reason we would like to have AT&T is because they are the only service out here and their equipment is already here. Windstream won't give me internet because this is AT&T territory. MediaCom won't give me internet because it is AT&T territory. The Windstream installer walked me around the property near my house pointing out the AT&T equipment. One pole is 20 feet from my house. When I call AT&T, when any of the residents on this parcel of land call AT&T, we are told there is no service here. Other carriers won't come here because AT&T has its equipment all over the place and the others do not. But AT&T will refer you to the same other carriers advising to call them for service because it is not offered here.

    I called the local AT&T office and spoke with the department that would if they could give me service. They reiterated that the service is 'capped' out here. AT&T Customer Service assured me it is not capped out here. The local office advised even if the service was for their own home that they would not be able to get the service here due to a decision made by AT&T to cap the service here. So an arbitrary decision by one company keeps us from getting internet service from anybody except DISH Network which has extremely limited 10 gig data usage. I am unable to identify at this time what government agency might be contacted to report this discriminatory practice. But I will continue to look. I believe this should be illegal as it appears they have not only discriminated against us they have claimed us as their own and not allowed any other company to come in and service us.

    I put up with up to 4 months of terrible signal. The connection would drop all the time, about 5 times per week. I had to call support many times before they would come. They often hung up on me. They said it would not cost anything but they charged me 156$. I am really angry and will not use their service ever again.

    Where do we start? Let's go to April, 2013 when we first subscribed with AT&T. We did the 30 day trial period and were very dissatisfied because of issues with internet speed. We returned the equipment via UPS before the trial period ended. AT&T continued to bill us for the 30 day trial period and also sent threatening letters regarding this bill. In May, 2014 we subscribed to Directv, which we are very pleased with. Unfortunately, though, we were forced to sign up with AT&T for our internet service. We were originally quoted $121.95/mo., bundled with AT&T. After agreeing with these terms, our prices jumped with both packages. I was never discounted my bundle package with AT&T, instead the price continually went up. Every month in the last 5 months, I've had variation in overall cost for this bundle package and it has always increased but never decreased. Also, we made 1 payment on a credit card and AT&T has lost the payment, although the credit card company said the payment was accepted but AT&T tells us that we have to show proof of payment, which they lost!

    A payment of $147.63 was made on November 7, 2014, and we were told that we had a zero balance with them. Today, November 21, 2014, they shut our service down completely, saying we owe them an outstanding balance of $161.11. From what I understand, AT&T bills Directv, which they pay the bill of $112.00, which is my exact bill with Directv. I asked for separate billing because I wasn't receiving a bundle discount, which I originally agreed to when first signing up with this group. Since the separation of the two, AT&T's customer service has been unavailable for any assistance in this matter. In the 5 months that I've had service with this group, only AT&T has not been able to justify the cost increases.

    Called to inquire about a bill that had gone up from $78.89 to $81.08 on 8-19-14 for service dates Aug 11th thru Sept 10th, with a due date of Sept 5. Called to inquire about the next bill I received that had gone up from the $81.08 to $152.05 on 9-17-14 for service dates Sept 11 thru Oct 10. Was told that my contract year was up so they raised the price. They did not notify me. I told them to cancel my U-Verse TV. But kept my internet. She told me to pay the original agreed amount for both which was $73.27. Since TV was cancelled on 9-17-14 and I was paying a bill for service thru Oct 10, she said I would be credited on my next bill for the days charged that was cancelled.

    Received my next bill, guess what? NO Credit. Was billed for a past due amount of $78.78 because I did not pay the $152.05 which I was told not to. So I called again on 10-21-14 and a gentleman told me to pay the bill in full and on the next bill I should have a credit of $78.73 and he would put it in his notes. Guess what... received next bill with wifi charge only but no credit. Called again on 11-19-14. Talked with a gentleman, whom in return talked to his supervisor. Got nowhere. So I ended up paying the $78.78 that I was told on 9-16-14 would be deducted. I recommend customers always record conversations! AT&T cheats customers on their bills. And lies to customers. I do not recommend AT&T to anyone!

    I applied for AT&T Uverse Service in Sept 2014 using AT&T website by creating my own bundle. The price for my selections totaled an approximate amount of 119.00 not including taxes. I expected a monthly bill under $140.00 for 24 months. The Service bundle would include telephone service, Internet and U300 package. The installation was not completed on installation day which was more or less 12 Sept 2014. When I called to ask for a completion of the Service Installation was when I was told that I had not included HD service or telling me that U300 was just digital T.V. So they added 10.00 more. Plus I was offered U450 package for 3 months free. After my first bill, I discovered that I only had 200 minutes of anytime minutes. Out of necessity, it was changed to Unlimited for another $10.00 a month.

    My first bill came in at 151.00. When this bill came in I called and after a lot of conversation, I was given an adjustment of about $15.00. Second bill, 171.00. When my second bill came in, I again called to complain about the higher bill, and after much conversation, I was allowed an adjustment of $20.00. Third bill,184.00. This is my third bill. I am tired of calling and regurgitating the same talk and complain about my higher bill. On my last call after the second bill, I was assured that my bill would not exceed 151.00. Now it’s over $30.00 more. I am prepared to discontinue this insane relationship with a cable provider that either is lying or who is unable to resolve my issues.

    Today is November 19th, 2014. We moved to our new home and transferred services keeping our AT&T Uverse. Since May 2014 when the services had been switched to our new home the service has not been working properly. After calling and sitting on the phone between 1-3 hours at a time and then having to make several adjustments to our account, we remain having problems. About a week and a half before November, 2 of the boxes in our children's rooms had completely stopped working and the other 3 TVs continued to lose signal. MY husband within those months continually has had to unplug and replug in all 5 boxes until November 5th when unplugging them no longer worked and we again had to call Uverse to come out to fix the services.

    A gentleman came out to our home to find out that the modem was bad as well as one of the boxes. He had replaced the box and modem with new/refurbished boxes. He stated he thought there may be an issue at the main line outside. Before leaving he stated that he believed the problem had been resolved. The cable worked for a few hours after he had left and then lost signal again. So my husband again unplugged and plugged the boxes several times because we were still losing signal. I had called again the following day and they set up another tech. The tech came out, checked everything, confirmed that the problem seems to be outside, that someone would be out the following day to resolve the issue, that we don't need to be home when they come.

    November 10th, 2014 I received a a voicemail from AT&T stating that someone came out and resolved the line issue. On November 11th, 2014 we had to call again because TV signal had been breaking up all day and then completely went out at night. Spoke to the rep, told him about the call we had received in between this time. We were promised a $120.00 adjustment to our bill for all of our issues and time spent waiting on them. When speaking to the gentleman he stated that no one had ever come out the day before to fix the outside line. He was unsure why they called and stated otherwise. I saved the message.

    Continuing to speak to the gentleman, he stated he would send out a senior tech to get the issue resolved, apologized for the inconvenience and understood why we were so upset. He informed me that not only had no one ever come to our home the day before but the previous tech had not closed out the work order stating that he had to contact and expedite the issue to get the ticket closed to open a new one to send a senior tech to our home after being on the phone with him for an hour and 20 mins. He had set up the visit and stated to call billing or retentions to make the appropriate adjustments to the account. He made a $15.00 adjustment but he and on the 5th they had made a $28.00 adjustment to our account but he agreed that $120.00 should be adjusted because we continually have had to call and have issues with our services. He had given me a few numbers to call so this could be handled.

    The senior tech was scheduled a visit to come out the following day. When he called he said he would be here in 20 mins but can he ask why he is visiting. They had not informed him of the problems we were having so I explained the problems when he arrived. He checked everything in the house, noting there are no issues residing within our home. After an 1 1/2 hours of working on the outside line he discovered the connection from outside was bad. He had to cut out wires that should have been replaced over 5 years ago when the previous home owner lived here. Even with cutting out these wires he said we may still have some problems until they can have someone come back out to dig a hole and put a wire underground and run it to our house. They should be out within the next 10 days to do so as long as the ground is not frozen. If they can't get out within the next 10 days they will be out in the Spring once the ground is thawed out.

    No one has been out yet and now that there is snow no one will be out till spring. I was told to wait to call billing till all issues had been resolved so any additional cost could be added to the adjustments. So I called them on the 18th to explain what we had been told and let them know service still breaks in and out. Upon talking to another Billing Rep he stated that he does not have the authority to make the adjustments to our account but if I wait he will personally speak to the Supervisor. So I waited. He then came back on the line and stated he spoke to the Supervisor personally and the Supervisor is aware and willing to make the adjustments but he would have to call us back within 2 hours. I proceeded to tell him every time they have told us a Supervisor would call us back we never receive a call. He stated "Don't worry, I spoke to him myself and he will definitely call you back within the 2 hours." So I said "Ok why can't he just make the adjustments now while we are on the phone?" "He is busy, ma'am. He will call you back, ok?"

    We hung up. To no surprise, never received a call. I waited till today November 19th, 2014 to call Billing back after speaking to 2 representatives and getting nowhere and 2 Floor Managers and 2 Supervisors that stated that no one ever promised us a $120.00 credit. There was no notes made and that they will not credit that amount. They can credit $30.00. "None of our representatives ever made you that promise therefore we will not credit that amount." I said "Then go back to the recordings because when you call it states 'Please be advised this call is being recorded for quality assurance and training purposes.'" He had nothing to say but "No ma'am. No one promised to credit that amount."

    After arguing with these people for over an hour and explaining services are still not working properly and will continue to have issues until they can bury the line next to the house in the spring and how is it fair to us to have to pay the full bill every month until they can get out to get this done, he continued to avoid the situation, not even crediting the 30.00 he stated that he could credit. I went on the AT&T complaint center for the BBB to find out they have had over 22,498 complaints in a 3-year time frame, over 9,000 for issues with billing and more for services not working. I called the number listed to get the issue expedited to a higher level at corporate, dialed the number to find it is not even a valid number.

    I refuse to pay the bill until the adjustments have been made. Therefore, with no one helping to get this resolved, they will disconnect the services in 2 days. We are super frustrated with this company and would never recommend them to anyone and can only say to those who currently have AT&T Uverse services to switch companies immediately before you run into the same problems. AT&T has lacked in training their employees to be professional and kind to their customers. They are all liars and a huge scam. This company should be shut down. Also note that when switching companies it will take at least a week before they can get out to your home so again we will be without cable.

The phone service has been a disaster. Even though I am being charged for all of the features I no longer am able to use any of them. I have had about 10 technicians to come out to my home and all I have been left with is a worse problem and more wires all over my home. This time I have been without my land line since August. I discovered that my land line was not working when a friend asked why did my phone go straight to voice mail and not ring. When I got home my phone display reflected that "line in use". I checked all phones and none were off the hook.

    Called AT&T and they checked the line and verified that there was a problem and dispatched a technician for the next week. He came out and said that there was a problem with the cable as well as the phone. He replaced 2 cable boxes and added modem for the phone. Another thing add to all of the wires that have grown every time they come out. It worked for one day. The next day my TV started with black lines and started to reprogram itself...then total black screen and no more TV. I then plugged in another TV and it work for 3 days and the same thing happened to it. Again I plugged in another TV.

    When it started to do the same thing, I called Uverse, spoke with Jackie who was very helpful. She did the troubleshooting and resolved the problem and suggested that I file claim. I contacted AT&T and was referred to Sedgwick. I spoke with Ms. ** who was very unconcerned and just flat out nasty... Long story short denied my claim. I contacted the Office of the President at AT&T, spoke with Scott who was to call me back in 3 days - did not happen. A week later Tonya ** calls... Same lies.

I finally got to a Supervisor. And guess what he said. Yep, another freebie for my inconvenience. I just told him STOP STOP STOP, I had had enough. I then told him that AT&T is nuts to think that they are the only cable provider out there and I promised that I will hit the social media with this deceptive practice, making sure everyone knows what a scam this company is. And after I feel enough people are aware of this, I will gladly pay the almost $200.00 to get out of my contract. I also will be contacting the HR Department of my employer, because we are supposed to receive a discount (which SURPRISE, I never did get) if we go to AT&T U verse. I want my employer to be aware of the deceptive practices of AT&T as well.

    AT&T Uverse customer care guys and their managers are one of the most uncouth people I have seen on this earth. These guys are all looking for money nothing else.. I have been AT&T wireless customer for past 3 years and never had a problem with wireless services. I took up the AT&T Uverse connection thinking it is a great service like the wireless.. But I was not ready for shock.. The Uverse customer service told as I am a wireless customer for long time I will get discounts... I trusted them and I got a huge bill in which there was no discount given.. I called them up and they adjusted the bill.. Next month they added some more amount in my bill and again called and adjusted..

    Fed up with erroneous bill I disconnected and also I was moving out of the state. I asked them to give me a consolidated bill and they never sent it to me and on top of it they disconnected my online account.. I kept on calling them to send the bill to my email or new address but didn’t receive it. Finally to make matters worse after 5 months they put that as collection on my credit report.. and I was screwed.. I called them up and they arrogantly told me that “You have to pay the bill even if you find it erroneous and then call and get an adjustment”.. I said what the crap he was speaking.. they want me to pay a larger amount and run after them to get it fixed.. It was a nightmare for me.. I request all the people be away of at&t Uverse... They are ridiculous people...

    I had pretty much the exact experience as Kate from Berkeley. The first time I ordered the internet I received confirmation texts and when I couldn't get it to connect and called back, they had no record of my order. I waited another week for it to go through and finally got the internet working. Because of the mistake, I was promised a lower monthly rate and a waived activation fee. My bill never changed so I called again and they could not honor that price. I was also being charged for a cable and modem that I told them I didn't want in the first place but they sent it anyway. I sent it all back but was only credited for the cable. They said they never received the modem. I went through a long process of a dispute and at the end of the 2 hour call the guy told me they found the modem and it would take 1 to 2 months to get removed from the bill. I refused to pay for what I did not owe so I had a past due amount on my account.

    After all of their mistakes and hours of my wasted time, I've been promised a lot of things to compensate but they never follow through. There is no way to hold these people accountable for what they tell you! I had the names, ID numbers, date, and times of the calls but every representative tells me they can't do anything about it. Every time I call I have to explain my story to multiple people and the call will get dropped after over an hour and I'll have to start over. I thought I had finally talked to a competent, honest person 3 days ago and he promised to call me back before the end of the day to clear everything up and get the internet working. He didn't, so at 8 am the next day I called and my service had been disconnected that morning. So I have to go through the entire process again!

    I would do anything to not deal with this company but it is the only provider in my area. My roommate and I are both in school, taking online classes and rely on the internet. We are going over our cellular data plans and spending money and time in coffee shops to do what we need to do. This should be illegal. So much wasted time and energy and straight up lies!

    If I could give a negative star rating to AT&T for their customer service and product, I would. I have worked with the public in many capacities over the years and I have never come across a group of such incompetent, complacent, and unresponsive people in my entire life. I have spent a total of 12 hours on the phone with them, my husband has spent 3 hours on the phone with them for a combined 16 hours of phone time during the past 4 days. We have had 3 different technicians at our house and no one can seem to figure out why we don't have TV. We have internet, but no TV.

    When I call customer service and give them the phone number on the account they tell us we don't have an account, even though we currently have internet service through them. Once I finally convince them that we do in fact have an account, I get transferred between them and the tech support department for the next two hours. They send a tech out to our house and the tech tells me there is a system outage and I have to wait 2-4 hours and then call customer support, but when I call customer support they tell me the outage is over. So they send another tech out to complete the order. Then the tech tells me there is a system outage... You can see where this is going.

    I realize that being without cable TV for four days is not a major tragedy. There are much bigger issues in life, however I want the service for which I am paying. And I want to be treated with some level of respect and honesty when I call customer support. I don't want to feel like I am being lied to or that no one really cares if they have my business or not. I am now starting to realize why people cut the cable cord and stream TV. If only I could convince my husband to do the same! Until then I guess we will have to weigh our options. Dish, DirecTV or Time Warner, which is the lesser evil?!

    Contacted AT&T Uverse of San Antonio to install internet service at our residence. At first they said there was no service capability to my home, but my neighbors have AT&T Uverse. Asked when service capability could be brought to my home; answer was "turned over to Engineering, could be days, could be weeks". I started shopping around for other providers. Finally got a call some days later they were ready to install. Technicians arrived and installed modem and battery back-up for DSL line, and disconnected the phone wires to my security system. At the end of installation, the techs complained that I had no signal to my house, and said they should have been told that by AT&T before scheduling the installation. They said they would return when a signal could be reported operational to my house. I told them I wasn't paying for an installation that brought me no service and they agreed.

    Never did get a signal to my house, and they left my security system disconnected from my phone line. After repeated calls, I directed them to uninstall their equipment and restore my security system. Tech showed up; said field techs normally had no expertise to reconnect security systems. I gave them one last chance to fix my security system; they said they would send out a claims adjuster within 72 hours. No one ever showed up. I then filed a Better Business Bureau complaint. Got a prompt call from a field tech supervisor saying he would meet onsite with my security system providers to fix. I set up the visit, but AT&T upper mgt recently reversed his offer due to "liabilities". To date, 5 months later, my security system is still disconnected and I guess now have to go to court.

    We purchased a new home and called AT&T to move our accounts, internet, phone, and U-verse -- from the beginning they could not find our address. Promised call backs and basically put us off as this is not their problem -- after two weeks of daily calls and spending hours on the phone, I called on 11/8 to disconnect at the current location and advised them we were going with a different company that was able to locate us and the rep asked me to please be patient as she worked on our issue. I was told again they could not locate us. I advised we were having mail delivered, alarm company monitoring our new home, and deliveries being made on a daily basis.

    I finally advised them to use Google Maps and they could locate the home. The customer service rep on the phone advised us that her manager would be calling us back - she was emailing him while on the phone with me. We disconnected with her and waited for Robert with AT&T to call us back. Three days later still nothing so we called AT&T again to confirm the disconnection and discovered it had not been done. So we demanded they backdate the disconnect at the old location and was advised we would have to pay more to have the service started again once they "found" us. The company is too big to care about its long term customers and after 15 years of cell service, internet service, phone service, and U-verse -- we are going somewhere else for assistance.

We recently had our main receiver go out. We lost all recordings and could not get any signal. Calling AT&T was a nightmare, they wanted to check a receiver that wasn't working. It took over 15 minutes to convince them they can't troubleshoot something that wasn't working. Their internet is extremely slow even when we boosted the signal for another $20 a month.

    In all honesty I had serious doubts that AT&T could deliver UVERSE to my home successfully. My previous experience with DSL had been so miserable, I switched to cable. With the continued price hikes of cable and the recent availability of UVERSE I decided to give it a try. Order was placed and an installation date was chosen. Full disclosure. I did pull CAT5-e cable from a central point in my home to all of the locations of my TV sets in advance. I wanted control on where holes were drilled and cables routed. I also wanted to minimize the use of wireless TV receivers.

    Install day arrived and the tech arrived on time (just barely). He was pleased that I had pulled the cables and left them unterminated. His first task was getting the signal from the pole to the NID and in the house to the Residential Gateway. Immediate problem. Seems I was supposed to have two pairs (pair bonding) and only one was available. This required a lineman and it was late in the day. Not happening till tomorrow. Lineman arrived the next day and did his thing however I was told to expect a call from a new installer as the guy from the day before was off work (this was a Sunday). The situation I was in now had me running on 1 pair which allowed me to get marginal TV service on 1 TV and no internet. Fortunately I had not disconnected cable TV so all was not lost.

    Finally on Wednesday the second installer arrived and completed the install. He too was pleased all the wiring was in one place and there was dedicated power. The install was completed and the service has been as expected. Internet speeds were to be 16mpbs and I have seen speeds running from 13 to 15 mbps......not bad. One slight "gotcha" was that my line speed will only support 3 HD streams and 1 SD stream to the TVs so be sure to weigh that against the number of TVs that may be used simultaneously in your home. For me it was no big deal. Be sure to quiz your sales person about this to get the answers you need. I have had the service installed for two months and to date no outages lasting more than a few seconds and those happen once or twice a week. Perhaps running my own cables helped my situation, but so far my service is solid, TV, phone and internet for about $40 less a month than what I was paying.

    We have been customers with the same phone number and other services with AT&T or its predecessors for 38 years. Phone and dial-up Internet service was mostly reliable, but then in 2008 AT&T's U-verse became the aggravation that can test the soles of AT&Ts most enduring customers. Finally after all these years of unreliable and costly U-verse TV and reflection on the high bills on July 2, 2014 I placed an order with Time Warner to move my phone service. That proved to be a horrific mistake.

    On July 8 at the stroke of midnight AT&T disconnected phone service (an FCC violation) and failed to port our number to Time Warner. I spent six (6) hours on two (AT&T) mobile phones ear-to-ear, simultaneously with AT&T and Time Warner. The next day, 7 hours wasted on the phone with both carriers without a solution. July 10: I spent 10 hours on the phone. Day after day 4 to 12 hours a day subjected to calls on hold, disconnects, transfers from customer care or supervisor to another trying to get the phone turned back on or the number ported. AT&T ill-informed customer care personnel or supervisors erroneously claimed that AT&T had already ported the number and no longer had possession. The 23 day ordeal dominated our lives as unnecessary time continued to be wasted with inaccurate assumptions and inadequate explanations by AT&T became more complex. AT&T blamed Time Warner and Time Warner blamed AT&T.

    July 25 Day 23: AT&T again disconnected the phone. Exasperated I was on the cell phone at 8AM trying to stop AT&T's unauthorized orders to port our number again and simply turn the switch to restore our AT&T phone service. Despite the unauthorized actions one AT&T supervisors answer was, "let Time Warner have the service." Again, I responded, "Please turn on the phone." As the day wore on it was apparent that AT&T was not going to make any effort to restore our service and became abundantly clear at 4PM when another supervisor repeated, "Let Time Warner have the service." It was only through my persistence that by 5PM I successfully stopped the order and the unnecessary daily torment.

    Even in the face of violating Federal Communication Commission (FCC) guidelines many times over, AT&T continued its punishing antics. FCC rules require phone service to remain active until the new phone service provider confirms the port is successfully completed. FCC requires a phone number to be ported within one business day (24 hours).

    Mistake #2: August 14: Determined to get away from AT&T I placed an order to switch phone service to Vonage. August 18 AT&T actions would prove to be brazenly defiant of FCC rules. This time our 38-year-old home phone account was totally wiped off AT&T books. Again the service was turned off and the port failed due to AT&T admitted errors. I immediately cancelled the order and any other attempts to port. Showing little concern or explanation AT&T estimated it would be the end of August before service could be activated. A new account would need to be created, which complicated a whole new level of conversation. Because of AT&Ts incompetence we were considered new customers.

    Obviously Customer Care is a contradiction in reality: Again, 6 to 12 hours daily was wasted trying to find someone that had authority to simply turn a switch to restore our phone service. As before AT&T's ill-informed customer care personnel and supervisors falsely claimed that AT&T had already ported the number and no longer had possession. August 23, 2014: After a great deal of persistence and no end in sight near the end of the day finally a caring customer service person by the name of Shannon answered the phone and with the help of her supervisors, supervisor had someone turn the switch. It worked. After 38 years we were now considered brand new customers with the same 38-year-old phone number. Problem solved...Well not really... The same number but not for long.

    14 Days Later Blindsided with more FCC violations. September 5, 2014: Without notice to us, for some unknown reason AT&T illegally authorized a plan to assign a new phone number ** to our phone, effective Saturday the 6th. AT&T executed a port of our 38-year-old phone number to Bandwidth.com, a company that sells pools of phone numbers to telephone companies across the country. A process that would prove to be tragically far more difficult to undo.

    All day Saturday, September 6, I took the time methodically piecing together what had taken place. Almost immediately I discovered there was no work order number created and there was no reason given for porting our phone number to Bandwidth.com. Two different customer care personnel naively explained what had happened and that no work order authorizing the action had ever been created, referring to the episode as fraudulent. Late that evening I finally was able to speak with Bandwidth.com and confirmed they had our phone number.

    By Monday morning one thing was abundantly clear, the port was unauthorized. AT&T maintained it would take at least 10 business days to port the number back. Bandwidth.com explained that AT&T could perform a simple process called a snap back without going through the process of porting the number back. AT&T refused to perform a snap back insisting it would take 10 business day to get it back. It was however suggested by someone in the retention department that I report the incident to their fraud department. That department was not interested. Service was however restored with the AT&T not so cheerful closing line, "Thank you for Choosing AT&T." AT&T is definitely not a choice. We are definitely stuck with AT&T.

After more than 40 hours on the phone over 3 months, mostly on hold, and 5 different technician visits, it took almost 3 months to install a DSL line! They kept trying to install Uverse although it doesn't work in that area, their technicians tried to call and explain and they couldn't get through and supervisors won't pick up their phones! No departments can communicate with each other. It was absolutely a NIGHTMARE for me AND the poor employees who have to work in such ridiculous circumstances. During this process they promised 3 times that I wouldn't pay installation charges, almost $200.

    Of course my first bill arrives and includes the installation charges so after another hour on the phone someone tells me they will be removed. A month after getting Internet, AT&T has TURNED OFF my service for lack of payment of these fees!!! Now, ALL records have been erased, which I found out after another 2 hours on the phone, and they say I was never promised a refund! They are holding me hostage to pay and controlling my communication because there is no other provider in the area! This should be unconstitutional. They should not have this power! This is ABUSE!!

Now we keep getting no channels coming in because the screen keeps on saying signal lost. We never had this issue with Time Warner. I do not recommend AT&T for your cable providers. The whole process was took an entire 8 hour day plus another 3 hours another day to install out security system. That is another issue I don't like. They had to put a big box for the security in my infant's closet and another 2 smaller boxes of the same thing plugged in to an outlet in the room. All this equipment should not be necessary.

In previous occasions, they've just fixed it quickly and fast without having to come into my property. Their new policy is to send a tech out and he has to come into the premises to inspect the telephone box (just too weird!!!).

    Trying to explain this to these hard heads is completely impossible. I had to ask for a supervisor on one occasion and on the second time, well, that one just took the cake. She was completely dense, didn't even listen to me at all. Has AT&T national call centers changed policy on how to treat customers? If these employees don't like their jobs, then quit.

    AT&T U-verse problems at The Palmer House, Preferred Living community in New Albany, OH. My husband and I recently moved into this new, beautiful community - everything is new, stylish; the neighbors are nice, the management team so helpful, friendly and welcoming; location is nice, with lots of shopping conveniently close by. Sounds great right? And so far, it has been pretty perfect... with the exception of their condition of only using AT&T u-verse as the cable and Internet provider.

    It has been a nightmare trying to get this service installed. We called on Wednesday, requesting an install appointment and were told that we should expect a call later that week to confirm the appointment. We didn't receive a call. At a tailgate party thrown by the Palmer House community, we happened to mention our dilemma to one of the managers, who immediately said that there was "a guy" living in the community who helped everyone with the U-verse set up. She would put us in contact with him and everything would be just fine. We were impressed: this place was turning out to be pretty perfect.

    Sure enough, we received a call a day later, on a Sunday, and our "guy" was going to send a tech over really soon: each unit is already pre-wired for U-verse, so it would be a breeze to send someone over, set up the receiver and dvr, and we would be in business. We were told to just wait for a call. So we waited. And waited. And waited....

    We sent our guy a couple texts, just friendly questions as to when he thought things would happen - no hurry, we just wanted to get an idea of when to expect the tech to come by. Both of us work, we have a dog that we'd like to get under control before letting anyone in; and I have a sick parent that I'm responsible for taking to doctor's appointments and treatments. In short, we were just trying to be around to get this show on the road. We were again told that we'd hear back. After not hearing back, and just assuming that our guy was just busy and not wanting to bother him, we called AT&T... and we're told that there was a "facilities issue" that was holding up our install. Wait what? We asked what that meant, and it took several minutes of mindless babble from some poor call-center rep, desperately shuffling through his stack of scripted responses while trying to find an appropriate one, before we finally understood that a member of the engineering department would have to call them back with more information, at which time they would call us back.

    Two days later, with no call back from anyone, we called again and were told this time that the mysterious issue was in fact a wiring problem. Not to worry, though, someone will be contacting us soon with a time/date, that they could send a tech and get our services installed. Our situation was "escalated" so that we could expect all of this to be resolved ASAP. Shortly after that conversation, we finally heard from our "guy" who confirmed that a tech would be out to our unit on Thursday to install our services, Saturday at the very very worst case scenario but definitely Thursday was looking good (so precisely a week and a half after our initial call to set this whole debacle up.)

    We cleared our schedules--I made arrangements to have another family member take my parent to their treatment, moved things around just to make installation easy and debris free. Everything was ready for that Thursday installation. Thursday came and went with no tech, no installation, no phone call. So we decide that perhaps the worst case scenario would be put into effect and that Saturday would be the day, instead. Saturday has come and gone and once again, no tech, no phone call, nothing. We had to contact AT&T OURSELVES, AGAIN, only to be fed the same story.

    After explaining that my husband has a side job maintaining social media and blogging posts for an out of state company, and that Internet usage is of great importance (especially since he is going through phone data quickly in order to do his job, and bumming off of the free Wi-Fi at the community clubhouse, while they're open), we once again are promised that we would be taken care of.... and after two weeks of going back and forth, we are told that the little wiring problem is actually a big wiring problem and that our community is experiencing faulty signal, and that they are working on it. Our new estimated date of installation is "on or before November 24th."

    We tried discussing this with our management but we're told that it is out of their hands: we are unable to get a different Internet provider, there is no other option and we were not offered anything as a sort of "I'm sorry" pat on the back. Just the cold comfort that "other new people are going through this too." What am I upset about? I'm ranting because of how ridiculous all of this became: and it could've been easily remedied by better customer service, from the parties involved. Apparently AT&T cares not one bit about new customers or at least those forced into using their services. And the Palmer House/preferred living also does not care about inconveniencing tenants by forcing a service that they can't even properly provide.

    I could've been understanding, but neither company bothered to call, to communicate these issues. Just tell me what the hell is going on. I'll be understanding, I promise. But if you choose to ignore and dismiss, I won't be as nice. And I will continue to post this story and share it with friends, and warn as many people as possible to think twice about using AT&T U-verse or moving into The Palmer House.

    AT&T Uverse router does not support deletion of an IP Address to MAC Address association. If your computer fails, and you replace it, you cannot get the new computer assigned back to the same IP Address that the old computer had. Something so simple, that should take less than 1 minute to configure on the Uverse home router, is impossible. That means running a simple private file server for in-home file sharing becomes impossible with AT&T UVerse. This is a no-brainer and is possible for every other competitor of AT&T.

    I changed after 10 yr to Uverse because my husband passed away and I have no income and it was only 19 a month. The first MO I was charged $73 AND I DID NOT have time to research the amount. Now my Internet has been turned off, I offered 50 with entire payment to paid the next day but they said they could not turn on my Internet without entire payment. So now I have no way to make any money without the internet. On top of this my address was incorrect as they were mailing my bill to space 20 and mine is 59 and after service was placed at my house the guy informed me that I was too far away from the tower so I would be getting crappy service. What is really going on here? I am so pissed off.

    I decided to get AT&T U-Verse and internet. My set appointment was for today between 1 and 3 pm. I had someone waiting at home all day for the tech to come set up our service. After arriving home after 8 pm, I was informed nobody ever showed up. I called AT&T and asked why my appointment was not fulfilled and why I was not contacted. Apparently there was a problem with the phone lines and they had to reschedule my appointment. I was told I was called and a voicemail was left explaining this. She read my number back to me, which was correct. But interestingly, I never received this call nor did I have a voicemail.

    If a tech was at my residence, why didn't they come to the door and explain this? I am a first time customer of AT&T and a last time customer. If this is the level of customer service they provide, I don't want to know what happens in event of a problem in the future. I told the polite lady on the phone I am rather disgusted at this first impression and will simply take my service elsewhere. I was given a phone number to contact another department which is apparently closed today. Apparently their computer system does not allow for making notes and getting messages to other departments to take care of these issues. So i am calling the department tomorrow and telling them I am no longer interested in their lack of service business.

    First they promised services they never provided at the prices quoted. Upon leaving u-verse and going to another company, they have given us problems porting the phone number over, resulting in us paying two companies for the same service for 14 days so far since we cannot disconnect ATT-uverse services (to avoid losing our number). The rate increases were beyond crazy, and they don't seem to care they are the problem. I need my phone number since it is connected to emergency contacts for our children and friends children at school. They have stated by law they must take 3 to 5 business days to process the order to port.

    My internet went down and I informed ATT at 9 am 10/30/14. I never had a feeling of any urgency about this on the part of ATT. My wife is a pediatric oncologist and needs while on call to review late night lab results and X-rays. It is a major inconvenience to not have the service. It is now 29 hours later and no one has come or even called. Based on my prior experience I have very little confidence that they will get it done today and am afraid that it won't be until Monday. I tried to call to see if I could be sure that someone at ATT knew the urgency of this. I ended up talking with someone in the Philippines who was not very fluent in English. Over time ATT has given me consistently poor service. In my opinion if they were not a near monopoly service they would have gone out of business long ago.

    I was quoted this amazing rate and service for uverse. I was told $34.95 per month for uverse internet and phone, with a high speed internet of 3 mbps. I was told $99 installation fee but that I would get a visa card for $200 so I would actually *make* money back. "Sure, sign me up!" Next thing I know, I have a bill for $259 and slow internet 1.5 mbps. I called upset, representative says "Oh we were supposed to waive the modem fee, I'll take $100 off your account!" With regards to the rate which I'm paying as $41 instead of $35 I was told, "A supervisor will call you back Tuesday."

    Tuesday came and went, no call. I called again, went through the same nonsense. I tried to speak to the manager demanding to know why no one called me. The representative insisted on talking to me first told me, "Oh well the high speed internet is not available in your area." I got very angry, finally escalated call to another manager. Now this person is saying, "Oh well that initial rate of 35 dollars per month is not available if you get the 200 dollar rewards card. Oh and the high speed internet is 5 dollars more per month". I insisted this is not what I was told and that I want a recording of the initial conversation. She says there is a recording and it will be shown to the managers and they will call me next week. Stay tuned...

    I switch cable company to AT&T in August to try it out. I paid all charges connection fees, then I didn't like the channels that they offer. So in September 22, I cancel the service. I just received my final bill and they are charging me $150.00 because I cancel.
