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

I signed up for AT&T U-verse for the AT&T Internet 25. It was supposed to get speeds of up to 25 Mbps, I have NEVER gotten that. I only get 10-15 Mbps if I am lucky. The jack/the gateway router are all 8 inches from the incoming plug, which sits right near the DirecTV box which is hardwired. Per their directions there should be nothing blocking (mirrors, stods, walls) blocking the signal. I think they slow your speed down whenever they want. I test the speed on the AT&T site every day and the same thing. The others are right, it's all a lie. They never deliver what they promise. I have had AT&T, which was Pacific Bell, which was Baby Bells, close to 38 years. 28 years for DirecTV and their prices change every month. I don't trust they will deliver what I am paying for. And they are more than happy to disconnect your service and make you pay to get it turned back on.

AT&T Internet is a joke. Rates go up. Service is throttled to get more money. Every time I call there’s an excuse offered. Funny, I only have issues during peak times, ie when most people are home in my area. How are they allowed to not be accountable for providing a service? Consumers have to pay whether or not service is rendered or substandard. A class action suit should be filed against them. Maybe they will change their tune!

We updated our internet, they came to dig and bury the new lines which were close to our phone lines. I called because our phone went out, I was specifically told I would not be billed since AT&T was just out. The guy came out and JUST LOOKED. He noticed we were using our "old" phone lines and not through AT&T's equipment. He didn't touch anything and was only at the house maybe five minutes. We were billed $103.08. He stated we may be billed because he came out. I told him that I was told since they had just came out and we didn't have the issue prior we wouldn't be billed. The tech even stated if we were told that then we shouldn't be billed but if we were to just call and it would be removed.
Well it was on the bill. I did the live chat and kept a copy. Within the chat I was specifically told it was being sent to the department to remove the charges. I went to pay the bill but it was still there. I called this time and was told again it had to be sent to the department to remove the charges. I received the new bill and the charges weren't ever removed. I called and they tried to bargain me into paying half. Why should I pay for something that I was told I wouldn't be billed for and furthermore no service was rendered. I've had bad problems from day one. I was even told by a couple of techs that they were lazy when they set this up and put it in an easy place so they could get done quickly because it was late when they got here.

We have had problems with AT&T for years but this last experience went too far. We were rushed, got hung up on more than once, left on hold for prolonged periods, experienced a shift change with no warning or explanation, were spoken do to as if we were idiots, they were extremely rude and were hissing on the phone. What a horrible customer experience. The worst Customer Services ever. After paying loads of money to them each month, they could not fix our problem as their unskilled phone techs are on the low end and have no idea what they are doing. Plus they REFUSE to send a live tech on site and all they do is give us ticket numbers. A complete joke. I do not understand how they are in business. It is bewildering. DO NOT... I REPEAT...DO NOT SIGN UP WITH AT&T. You will be very sorry if you do. WE are switching to Xfinity tomorrow!!!

I agreed to have the service installed through self service. It wasn't possible to serve my address. They billed me anyway. I naturally refused to pay a bill for a service they never provided. They reported it to my credit anyway.

Got scammed by an ATT sales rep when I called in about questions on my phone bill! He sucked us in to some trial promo U-Verse cable/internet service, promising crap he knew nothing about! Installed service on Friday, internet would not work upstairs, so they were going to come back on Monday to rig something up and we were so disappointed in the cable going in and out over the weekend that we called them on Monday and told them to come get everything because we were not impressed. Guy came Monday to disconnect service and took all equipment. He gave us paperwork showing everything had been returned and there would be NO CHARGES...well that was a big lie!!!
We get a bill charging us for services we didn't even have. I reached out to the sales rep multiple times and of course he never responded...but he always responded before when they came to do the service! I called the number on the bill and all the Uverse customer service is handled outside of the US, which was a nightmare trying to get them to even understand what happened! They told me charges would be removed next billing cycle...well guess what, that was another lie because I got another bill!!! I call back again this time insisting that I speak to someone in the US. I get Chelsea in the Atlanta office and she informs me that it takes 2-3 billing cycles for charges to come off!!! What the???
I asked her why the phone bill corrections can happen automatically, but Uverse takes 2-3 billing cycles and she said that's just the way their system works! I asked to speak to her supervisor, which she responded and said there was not one available, but she could take my info and they would call me back in 24-48 hrs...just more lies!!! We have been with ATT for over 20 years and are considering leaving because if they own and associate themselves with this company and allow this time of treatment to customers, we don't want to financially contribute to their deception! Don't ever use this company no matter what kind of incentives they try to offer you... It is not worth it...there will be a much higher price to pay than what you will ever get from them!!!

The Internet, and DirecTV was terrible. Internet runs slow, and every time the wind blows the Dish goes out. I would not recommend setting up auto pay because they overcharge at times and once the transaction is made it is hard to get a refund, if one is given. Pay close attention to your bills. DO NOT TRUST THEM!!

I canceled my DirecTV February 20th 2019 and went with their competitor. The company, AT&T pulled $95.00 dollars out of my account on February 16th. I checked with the line provided me by AT&T and was told that my refund check was being sent to me. I checked today April 18th 2019 and was informed that I had no refund check coming as they determined that I needed to pay for a service I never used. I will never use AT&T again and I will tell all of my friends about the royal screwing I got. As far as I am concerned this company stole money from me. And talking to people in another country asking for assistance that they have no ability to provide is one of the worse experiences I have ever had.

Don't believe a word they tell you! They told me I had to pay a $500 deposit but it would come off my bill each month. I got my first bill and they charged it as a 1 time FEE. For some BS. Makes no sense at all!!! I called and they said, "Wrong department, call this number..." Called the new number and they said, "No, you had the correct number." So I called back... and now no one will answer!!! This is absolute fraud and everyone needs to be warned!!!

ATT is the most dishonest company I have ever experienced in my 65 years. They promised me a Uverse promotion that did not exist and then overcharged when I tried to fix it. They promised me $300 in Visa rewards which never happened. The cable went out in my bedroom after 1 week and I have not had tv in my bedroom for 10 days and to make a long story short, now they want to charge me the full early termination fee for 3 weeks of service when everywhere I read, it says customers have 30 days to cancel without penalty. I will be filing a report with the Better Business Bureau and filing a lawsuit against ATT. This was just outright fraud and illegal.

When I moved to Michigan, the community that I lived in only had AT&T service available, but since this was going to be temporary, we figured we could manage. I had an appointment for starting service but that was soon delayed by 1 month. Several no-shows followed by a list of excuses - including "none of the installers in Michigan showed up". Eventually got hooked up, then had problems with the box. Got a new box, returned the old, then got billed for the returned box 2 months later. Got that straightened out, bought a house, called AT&T and spoke with Donna on Dec 26 to verify if service was available in our area. Donna said no, same service is not available at my new home, and told me there would be no early termination fee.
Two months later, I get a bill for TWO termination fees! One for internet and one for TV. I have been fighting this to no avail. They finally removed one fee, but not the other. AT NO TIME DID AT&T EVER TELL ME THAT THERE WERE TERMINATION FEES FOR EACH SERVICE. I was told one fee for my service, PERIOD! The same is reflected on the written confirmation. It is disgraceful that they can't be honest with the consumer. BEWARE! STAY AWAY! It is a pleasure working with Xfinity. NEVER AGAIN, AT&T!!! NEVER!

I moved to a neighborhood of newly constructed townhomes. The builder confirmed that AT&T and Spectrum were both wired in the neighbor prior to construction. I was an existing AT&T user and wanted to move the service. When I called, they advised they're not available there. They set up a "ticket" for an engineer to go out and service it, but can't provide a timeline for when that will be done. I called 3 more times asking if it's been surveyed, and I can send pics of the cable pedestal but I kept getting the same answer "if it's not in the computer, nothing can be done" - I asked for management to communicate with the engineers about the location, but no luck. Ultimately had to cancel and go with Spectrum who promised to send someone out the following day, and can set up service within 9 days of the survey - everything was handled on the first call with Spectrum!

IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY AVOID IT, DO *NOT* DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T! We live in a rural area where, according to several AT&T service reps, it is not cost effective for the company to upgrade/replace equipment and lines. We signed up with Uverse about 3 years ago because of the promise of lightning fast speed. That was a miserable disappointment, and after being told that we absolutely could not go back to our old service, we objected loudly enough that they eventually did allow us to go back. Just a couple of months ago we once again fell for the company line that said things had been improved, we should get lightning fast internet speed with an "upgrade", never lose signal, blah, blah, blah. NOT!!!! After just a few months with Uverse 10mbs service, we are on at least our fourth modem. It seems that the magic "cure" for everything is to replace the modem.
If I were the powers that be at AT&T, I would have to seriously re-think doing business with whoever manufactures those modems because they are obviously sub-standard! Anyway, on Thursday, April 11, we lost internet service and, because our phone lines and home security system are hard-wired into our AT&T system, we are also without a landline or a burglar alarm.
My husband called AT&T's repair service late Thursday evening; they checked the line and determined ... wait for it ... it's the modem; however, they initially REFUSED to send a modem right away, saying that a technician needed to install it and that there was no appointment available for nearly 10 days. My husband offered to drive anywhere and meet a technician, saying he knew they carry spare modems on their trucks and that he is willing and more than able to install the equipment himself. His request was refused, at which time he decided to end the conversation. His attempts to communicate with them temporarily ended at approximately 1:30 on Friday morning.
Later Friday morning, after several hours sleep, he was yet again on the phone doing the same "dance" with AT&T's "customer service". I overheard him ask and then demand to speak to a supervisor at least eight times, and at each request it was obvious he was being denied. I don't know if the repair rep was of foreign descent or if my husband was simply wondering if somehow he was not making himself clear to the representative, but after requesting over and over to speak to a supervisor, I heard my husband say, "Do you not understand English?", at which time the rep hung up on him.
My husband is nothing if not calm and collected. In 20+ years of marriage I can only recall seeing him really angry a couple of times, and this was the third time! First of all, to be denied a piece of equipment that is readily available and offer to do the work yourself only to be denied is ridiculous. Secondly, an employee of mine (especially a customer service representative) whoever dared hang up on a good, long-time, paying customer would be immediately relieved of his duties in my employment.
My husband called back again after having been hung up on and talked to at least three more reps (supervisors, I believe) only to continue to get the runaround. He was finally able to get one of the reps to agree to send a replacement modem in the mail overnight, to be delivered sometime on Saturday, April 13.
At about 3 p.m. on Saturday, my husband called to check on the whereabouts of the replacement modem, and he was told that there was no order on record for a replacement for our account. He asked that one be sent out today (Saturday) for delivery tomorrow, and he was told that it would here on April 22 - 9 days away. That is 9 days of no internet service, but worse is that we have no functioning security system or landline because of some arbitrary decision by AT&T to hold a piece of equipment ransom (possibly in retaliation for us having the audacity to request appropriate service)?
While wrapping up yet another telephone conversation with AT&T's customer service department, my husband was simultaneously ordering a modem from Amazon which will be delivered on Monday, April 15 - a full 7 days faster than AT&T's own company can or is willing to deliver the same product. "Coincidentally" on Monday, April 15, we have an appointment scheduled with Spectrum in the sincere hope that we can participate in a trend that will help put AT&T on notice that they are not the monopoly they so obviously desire to be. IF YOU CAN POSSIBLY AVOID IT, DO *NOT* DO BUSINESS WITH AT&T!

AT&T is penalizing me for their customer service rep error. I moved and wanted to keep my landline phone number because where I was moving to already have Uverse. I can’t have a second line there so the rep recommended moving my landline number to a mobile phone. In the process he put my new street address and my old city, state & zip, so the phone was sent back to them because it was undeliverable as addressed. Now they are trying to make me go to an AT&T store in Arlington Heights which I live in Beach Park, because the phone was returned to them instead of putting the correct address and sending it to me.
During this time I am still paying a bill for Internet, TV, & phone, Which I no longer have access to because I don’t live there anymore and the equipment was sent back on April 1. I moved April 1. Today is April 10, I am missing calls that would go to my landline phone, receiving emails from AT&T about activating a mobile phone I never received and they will not allow me to cancel the Internet and TV device until I activate a phone that I seem to have a problem trying to get... Frustrating. Then of course every time I call I get someone totally different and in a different state, who makes me go through the whole story just to send me to someone else to go through the whole story again, yet no one has helped me yet.

I don't even know where to begin. DirecTV Now that is owned by AT&T has no local channels and for the same price you can get youtube tv that has local channels NBA TV and more channels with more logins for the same price. Let's get to the heart of the problem. ATT internet was the worst choice I ever made. They started out at a low 40 a month rate for a year then boosted to 50 for 50MB a second. They installed fiber optics in my building which was supposed to be active as of April 2018 and was not actually active till the fall of 2018. When it was finally active I had the technician come out and he explained to me that the fiber optic cable that came into the apartment was broke and had to be fixed. Fast forward a few months. No one came out to fix it and I called and they said it worked when it didn't. After multiple calls they finally sent someone who was supposed to be here between 11-1pm.
About 1230 I received a text saying that he would be there by 1 did I want to keep the appointment. It did not give a time though. I was home and waiting so I said yes. 4pm came around and still no technician so I called Spectrum which was my old provider and they beat 50 a month with same speed offered (100 MB a second) and no contract. I cancelled AT&T at the end of my billing which was the middle of the month. I decided I was gonna move at the end of the month so I called them back to ask if I could extend my cancellation date to the end of the month because I didn't want to start a new service until I moved. I was on the phone for half hour and the representative informed me that he could not prorate and I only had the option of either keeping the cancellation in the middle of the month or paying a full month. I asked for the supervisor and he placed me on hold for 15 minutes.
I hung up and called back and got another rep who I was on the phone with for another half hour until he got a hold of a manager and he did extend it out until the end of the month. He was helpful but the first rep should have been able to do this. Obviously he didn't care and it still took almost a hour to get this done. There cell service is inferior to Verizon. Their TV app in inferior to YouTube TV and their customer all around and especially the internet is horrible and frustrating. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LOOK ELSEWHERE FOR ANY SERVICE CONNECTED TO THIS NAME.

The individual that came to my house said that in 1 year to call customer service and request to stay on the promotional rate and that if we paid our bill on time that they wouldn't have any issues keeping us at the promotional rate. That they try to retain loyal customers. What a joke. They raised my rate by 60 dollars a month. I told them that I would change providers before I would pay the increase. They didn't care. So I changed providers. 10 days into the billing cycle and once my new service was hooked up I call AT&T and cancelled as soon as the technician left. AT&T made me pay for a full billing cycle that included the increased rate.
I must have talked to 10 different people and they wouldn't even negotiate. They said they no longer do prorated billing. When you call them 90 percent of the time you will speak to someone that doesn't speak clear English so it is very difficult to understand what they are saying which makes it hard to understand if they are giving you any valid information to make a decision on. I would not recommend using AT&T unless you want to just throw money away. You can't trust what they say. I will never buy anything from AT&T again. I paid 120 dollars for services I didn't even use. They are downright crooks.

I keep an AT&T landline because it stays up during hurricanes, and a DSL account for internet. In the past I've tried to bundle internet and landline and they always refused to do it unless I added TV service. Recently at Costco there was a DirecTV promotion. I was told that DirecTV was owned by AT&T now and signed a contract for landline and fiber optic internet service. I was put on the phone with AT&T by the sales rep and an appointment was made for the installation.
Then the emails from AT&T began. They didn't want to do the install because I had an active landline and needed to turn it off. They needed to confirm my email address. I had to call and be put on hold for another person who tried to help, but transferred me to another dept. where I was on hold another 20 minutes. I then got to speak to someone who called himself the "Big Dog" and refused to look up my previous order.
Told me ordering through Costco/DirecTV was MY mistake, and wanted to make a new credit application and installation appointment. Refused to acknowledge my existing order number which he said didn't exist even though it was in all the emails from them. Basically they refused to honor the contract DirecTV sold me. I waited for the scheduled install and was actually relieved that it didn't happen. BTW one star is one too many if you ask me. I already had a low opinion of AT&T. It just got lower.

Had them for 30 days. Non-stop issues. Slow speed, TV kicking in-and-out, technician came in. Fixed 10 minutes after I had same problem multiple times having issues. Went to call within the 30 day cancellation. And they told me they needed full payment up front to cancel. Notified them I would have to pay them on Friday. They said, "Ok. it is noted so no issue." They are trying to charge me the cancellation of $387 when the representative said that would be no problem. Two years later still dealing with a bill on my credit. I paid in full for the month like we agreed but they want more money. What is wrong with companies now. Ridiculous.

I signed up for At&T internet service only in March and have already had so many issues. It boggles my mind. First I went through a long phone call scheduling to get Internet and DirecTV. To only have my appointment cancelled without notice because I was sold DirecTV when they don't offer it in my area (even though I was still able to get internet and wanted internet). Then I call back and schedule another appointment for just internet (100 mbps) for 2 weeks out. Mind you I have to take time off work for these appointments.
The day of, the technician comes and tells me I know you were sold 100 mbps but you are only going to get 50 mbps, half the speed, and it will cost you the same. After talking to the in-home specialist I was promised credits on my bill for being sold something they don't offer and forced to pay the same for a much slower speed. Never heard again from him, so call I in and was told, "No we don't do credits. But we will waive the $100 installation fee because of how much we have messed up, it is no longer on your bill." Then get my bill and the installation has not been waived. Call in and am not told they don't waive installation fees. There is nothing they can do. Is this really how you conduct business AT&T?? Some of the worst customer service I have had. Lie after lie.

I had my internet canceled without my consent for no reason at all which seemingly spiraled into an even bigger situation now! After talking to 4 representatives to finally get my internet back on we were also promised credits. We never received any credits that got applied to my Account, I then get an Email by ATT that my bill is now $215 for an installation and connecting fee because some idiot decided to my mistakes on my account. IT ACTUALLY GETS WORSE.... Literally a day later I get another random Email from ATT telling me that my ATT UVERSE BILL IS READY?? I DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT!
I talked to this chat agent and he explained how of course he couldn't do anything but he would make sure to note my account and to have someone from the retention department call today between noon and 2pm which of course never happened. I have zero faith in this company and now I have to worry about random changes and charges taking place without my consent? I am the only authorized account holder and made sure it wasn't fraud.
I'm currently in the process of discussing this our family attorney and will most likely file a complaint to small claims court. PS.... I tried to add my employee discount to my bill and of course it doesn't apply to what I have or 90% of any other accounts they offer. Whether this is incompetence or shady business practices I've had it as a Customer. And randomly my internet Account got removed from my profile so I just reconnected it.

I had been with DirecTV for 15 years before AT&T took over. I NEVER had even one issue with DirecTV. Over the holidays, I upgraded our package to include movie channels. The guy on the phone who set me up didn't need ANY info from me. Great. A couple days later there was signal issues with premium channels. After sitting on hold for 35 min, the person listened to my issue and apologized that there is no PIN# setup and that would need my husband, the account holder to call back and create a PIN#. WHY WASN'T A PIN# NEEDED TO ORDER THE PREMIUM PACKAGE?!
Ok. Husband spent 45 min of lunch trying to get thru to someone to set up PIN. After much transferring, the rep told my husband that "You can't set up a PIN over the phone and would have to go to the store." Oooook. So my husband goes to the store - they can't do that at the store - directed husband to call "customer service". Went thru the same phone issues again and still no PIN# set up. Yesterday, I ordered the MAJOR LEAGUE TICKET $178! Didn't need a PIN # to order. So, today, I'm having trouble with the installation, so, having forgot about the PIN# issue, I called AT&T today. Wow! After telling the guy, Rob, that I am having issues with install - he cuts me off and says he "is not allowed" to talk to me w/o PIN#! I reminded Rob that I am NOT returning anything - I just need help with the install. He still refused to help without PIN#.
So I've just spent $178 for channels that I can't access and my husband is out of town for our son's bachelor weekend and all I have to show for my money is an emailed receipt - and now this Google review. AT&T doesn't need a PIN# to collect your money but if you have ANY questions for them - get a PIN#. I hate Comcast but at this point, I'd rather have Comcast...

I called to get a cheaper rate. Since after a year they doubled my bill but they lied. Said, "You are not on a contract and to get cheaper rate we will send new equipment and waive fee." I missed 5 hours of work @ 30 hr to be told ATT cancelled my installation appt. I spoke to 3 managers and they all lied after having me pay 109.00 even THOUGH my bill is only 45 a month.

Had At&T for years prior to my Father's death. My Mother insists on living alone, but suffers from seizures/falls. Through our security company, I installed cameras throughout the house to monitor her movements and her safety. The cameras have saved her life on four occasions. Today, without warning, the entire AT&T connection went down again. This is a constant issue. Generally connectivity is lost a minimum of twice a day and as many as 6 times a day.
AT&T claims they have "done everything." Customer service is worthless. Today I was switched three times, to three different departments, all asking the same questions I had already answered previously (this was online chat, so that I could keep a record). Each associate with whom I spoke asked me to wait, so they could review the previous conversation, only to ask the same questions repeatedly. I explained the importance of the WIFI connection and the critical nature to no avail. The employees just work there. They don't care. They're only there for the check. I get it.
The only reason I haven't changed services so far is my Mother was adamant about saving the outgoing phone message, from my Father. Today, I found a service to save it. So, AT&T. You're fired. I'm calling tomorrow, as soon as the MP3 of the recording is downloaded. It feels really good to get even with you for putting my family in this situation. I will NEVER, EVER use you again and I intend to tell anyone and everyone about the callous nature your associates have shown to my family. Fortunately, I saved the chat, showing the employees trading me back and forth and one actually telling me that he wouldn't assist and would forward me to the cancellation department. YAY! AT&T! You Win. I've had enough. Good Riddance.

I had an AT&T sales rep come to my door and offered us... or so I thought... a better deal than we were getting with another provider. My quote from her was $167.00 a month. But when the bills started rolling in they were 32 dollars higher. I spoke to someone in customer service in regard to this and they told me that The actual bill for our package is 199.00 a month. How can these sales people do this? I can't wait for my contract to run out so I can switch. I am so unhappy.

I had AT&T internet and DirecTV bundled for the last couple of years. During which time, I had multiple calls in for mishaps on billing, such as services being added I didn't authorize, calling to cancel services prior to charge date and the "forgot" and then charged me, etc. At first, I figured it was just a mistake and a couple of times they promptly apologized, acknowledged the mistake, and fixed the situation by crediting the bill. What I found out quickly though, was that I had to write down the accounts of the call, because often they would say they fixed something and they actually wouldn't. One customer service rep would give me one piece of information, while the other rep would give me contradictory information.
As a specific example, I had called to notify AT&T that I was not going to renew my NFL Sunday ticket, the lady cancelled it for me (so she said). The next month, I was charged it. I called customer service and they stated they would remove the charge and pay the bill, less the Sunday Ticket charge. I did what she said. I was then told my bill was passed due since I didn't pay the full amount (the customer service rep never made the change). I called them again, the guy I spoke to told me that I hadn't called in time and I had to pay the remainder and they would cancel it. This was now 2 months after I had called to cancel it. They claimed the conversation didn't happen. I paid it so my bill wasn't behind.
At the end of my 2 years, my bill increased over $100. I called to see what options I had since I was out of contract. The options the lady gave me didn't even get me near my previous contract price and actually had me downgrade to what she referred to as "middle class"...yes, she said it was "middle class". I didn't take the deal and called back that same day to cancel services and signed on with another company. The customer service rep I spoke with, what I thought was the final time, was very helpful and apologetic. He gave me more options than what the other lady did, but I didn't accept because I had services coming into my home from another company. He made notes in the system that I would be canceling my services. He told me I couldn't cancel mid-cycle, however the bill I would pay then would be the last bill as the bill cycle is one month ahead.
I paid the large bill (280 dollars for substandard internet and tv in 2 rooms). I figured that was the end of it. This was on February 25th, 2019. I get a bill on 3/26/2019 ready for my review that says I owe an additional 170 dollars for TV. I call customer service. The guy is very snarky over the phone and explains that my 2 coordinated services were on 2 separate bill cycles so I still owe 170 for services from February 20th-March 19th. I explain that the prior customer service rep said it would be my final bill. He persists in telling me there is nothing he can do to help me and that while I was given misinformation, that I was still going to be responsible for the bill. I asked that they listen to the call with the rep. He states they can't, they are only for quality assistance purposes.
I explained this was a quality assistance issue, in fact that was the reason I left this service. He laughed multiple times, belittled me, and then cut me off and said if there were no other outstanding concerns I could have a nice day. Literally, no resolution. No apologies. No escalation of the call. This was common customer service in the time I was a customer. I will never have service with AT&T again. Poor customer service reps, they say they will do things and don't follow through, they provide misinformation, many of their calls our outsourced out of the country which provides a more difficult customer experience, their direct tv equipment is antiquated, their internet was slow, and they are dishonest in their billing approach.

Horrible experience. They say they will credit something if you buy a product. You buy a product and then there’s no documentation that they ever promised a credit. Trying to pay off a device to complete contract is nearly impossible. I called, I added the app, I chatted, went online and no one is able to take my money to pay off a product. Definitely shady because if I pay it off I can cancel service. So they make it hard to take your money so they can keep charging the monthly service.

U-verse was great when I first got them. TV+Internet for $123/month at 50 Mbps and over 300 channels. After the promotional period my bill will go up to over $215. When I called I spoke to Sarah and Gina(both of whom you could tell where in India or some other middle eastern country). Spent 37:48 on the phone call only to find out they wouldn't do anything to help me with my service. Only that I should call back in when my promotion expires to see if I can get a better deal... seriously?!?! First off I couldn't understand a word they said and they almost cancelled my service because they weren't listening to a word I said. Absolute horror show with them. I will be leaving them as soon as I can get another provider out here.

Using U-Verse for two years. Twice the service has simply stopped functioning. Once for a month when it came back on its own and now for three months. The issue is not that they wouldn’t spend an hour on the phone preventing you from canceling as it is that they start threatening you with hundreds of dollars in charges for their faulty equipment and refusing to pick it up.
ATT demands they receive their equipment within 10 days at your inconvenience or they will start charging $150 for each piece of their faulty equipment. In my case once I informed them that I am not able to drive to a store to return their equipment and that they should use an installation tech or anyone to come pick up their faulty equipment they refuse and threaten its charges. They refuse to pick up and they refuse to schedule a common carrier to pick up their equipment while demanding I do that work for them.
In addition they refuse any refund of money for the many months I paid while having no service. Talking with a supervisor provided nothing but more threats of charges and a runaround for 2 hours on the phone. It was very difficult to get employee contact information from him and I was refused a reference number for the recorded conversation for an hour before getting it.
After requesting contact information for their legal department I received a phone number which referred me to another phone number which sent me to a recording. No call back from them as of yet and it’s a third party company which I assume is their collections ambulance chaser “lawyer” service. Guess what kind of service I will receive from them assuming they do eventually call back? My call to them was placed during business hours on a non holiday weekday. ATT has terrible customer service and will use low ethics third party companies it appears to enforce exorbitant charges for their faulty equipment which they refuse to pick up once you cancel. I do not recommend.

I have had the Uverse service bundled with my internet for the last 7 years. This year I have decided to cut the cable and just use internet and a high definition antenna for TV. After contacting customer service and disconnecting my Uverse portion of the bundle. I received a bill for $208. After contacting customer service it was explained to me that the amount is correct due to the fact that I have to pay for service for the month that I use the service. However I asked him, "Isn't it not true that we pay in a month in advance?" They said, "Yes that is correct." Because I do remember when I first connected to service I had to pay a month in advance. Now they're telling me I have to pay during the month that I used it. I think this was very deceiving.
I explained to them that I worked for AT&T as a technician for 15 years and the customer service rep. Told me "Well you should know how it works". I told her, "But that was not fair because how can I expect you to know how to build a cell tower." She did apologize but I found it very rude and she was very short with me. The service - it's not up to par and I think $50 a month for internet is outrageous so I will be shopping around.

Umh…where do I start? AT&T is the worst company to deal with on the planet overall! Whatever they are offering you, please don't go for the bait. They outright just lie!!! Their customer service is non-existent. I signed up for new service (a bundled package) in late January with an installation date of February 11th, with a no show due to technical issues and no phone call to inform me of such cancellation. I had to call them and spent hours on the phone. I was rescheduled for February 21, again a no show and no call. I phoned them to lodge a complaint. They rescheduled for February 28. This time the Technician called to confirm and informed me they would be issuing a new phone number. I informed him that's a no go as I've had this same number for 30+ years starting with Pac Bell and have since transferred it to various other providers over the years.
The Tech informed me that his order was for a new phone, internet and TV and he could not retain my current phone and he could care less about what Sales promised me. I phoned Customer Service again and complained and was told they just had not requested the change from my current provider "due to tech issues again" and rescheduled me for March 11 (once again several hours on the phone trying to get the order corrected and confirmed). Today is Mar 11 2019, appt. was scheduled between 11am & 1pm. I get a text at 10:32 stating "sorry we missed you. Please call to reschedule your appointment.” I'm enraged at this point, called AT&T customer service again s/w Ricardo. He was useless had no info available to him at all. I ask to be transferred to a Supervisor, he said no one was available and he would have someone call me back in an hour or two.
I then called the Sales department and learned that I was cancelled due to more tech issues and over scheduling. She promised a goodwill compensation with discounts and lower promotional cost i.e. my phone for $19 instead of $32. I informed her I was already at $19 when they sold me the plan. She indicated it showed $32 on her end ("I thought what other hidden cost do they have in store for me") and offered to correct the order and increase my sign up offer from $150 to $300 and reschedule for next week. It's now 11:45am the IT Dept. Manager finally calls back to research my appointment not knowing that I'm on the other line with Sales. And told me they needed to reschedule as dispatch did not have me listed for today.
I told him I was on the other line with Sales and what they were proposing. He then shared what he knew of their hidden fees, like 2x the amount on the 1st bill, and that I may or may not get what Sales promised as they don't have the authority to make such promises, and only billing could make such concessions. I told him I'm having second thoughts and this is just too much deception, misrepresentation and lack of professionalism for me!!! He then indicated he would have someone out today to honor my installation per my email received on 2/28 after the 3rd “no show”. He guaranteed me if I allowed the installation I would not posting a negative review as I indicated I would, but a positive one as I would be so impressed with the new service.
It's now 1pm and I have not seen or heard from them. I'm done!!! I urge anyone considering a switch or new service in general not to patron this Company. They are full of lies and deceit, and you're just a hit or miss statistic for them. They do not care about their customers or the level of service they provide. It's a game of numbers and knowing the majority of subscribers won't even realize they're being duped until they’re stuck in their contract with lousy internet, TV and customer service.

In the last 8 weeks, we have had intermittent issues with AT&T Uverse. The first 5 times I called, and the automated answering service stated that there was an outage in our area and there was no need to stay on the line because the issue had been reported and their representatives had no further information. The issue would get resolved and a few days would go by with uninterrupted service, however it would be once again interrupted over the weekend. I got a hold of a real person, they performed their "troubleshooting" exercises and decided we had a bad modem. They sent us a new modem. It worked for a 5 days and we lost connection over the weekend again. We called and the automated service reported again another outage.
They fixed the outage a day and a half later. The next weekend, same issue. I finally escalated the call, but not before I got the usual booting, rebooting, turn off, turn on, "you need a service technician to come to the house spiel." Well, if they have an outage in my area why would they need to come to my house? They put me and my husband on hold for 20, 30 minutes at a time. They finally connected us with a "supervisor." This supervisor actually got a hold of a different department dealing with outages and engineering confirmed that we were in the area of an outage. The service worked for a week and a half, and here we are again without service.
Every single time we call, we get to speak to a representative who does not bother to look at the notes, does the exact same song and dance, offers the same "solutions" and we have cable for a week and they have a major outage over the weekend. Time to move on. They are so incredibly expensive, the service is unreliable. Their techs are like robots stuck on some foreign algorithm.

When the installation technician arrived he told my mother the fiber was not present for him to be able to install the services. She of course had no idea whether that was true or not. She attempted to call the builder but the technician did not wait on the builder. When the builder arrived he of course confirmed that everything was in place as it should be. The installer then told my mother it would be two weeks before she could get service.
When I called to complain, they told me the first available appointment would be 5 days later. I told them that was unacceptable as it was their error, not ours. Then they sent my mother an email saying "sorry we missed you" as if she had not been there when they came for the initial installation. I told them they needed to get with the developer and create some installation instructions for their technicians. This is a situation that should never occur.

I never write reviews but the service I received last night terrible. I am writing this specifically for the corporation to look into the type of customer service reps they have in their office. I called to speak with a representative about taking care of the final balance on my account. I was on the phone for 2 hours and 35 minutes mostly waiting. I spoke with 6 different reps within this 2 hours and 35 minutes. No one could help me, but not only could they not help me the final rep, Oliver- ** and manager- Zachary **, that I spoke with made the situation much worse.
I canceled my internet and cable services at my previous house with DirecTV, the new place that I am with, I have U-verse. When in the process of canceling my services I received a new bill for 70 more than the original bill. When talking to that representative he told me that everything would be taken care of which it was not because I still owe that final bill plus that difference. I called because I wanted to take care of the bill but to see if there was anything that could be done about the difference since I was never notified that the package deal I was under was coming to an end. The representatives told me that I should have been aware that my 24 month package was ending on the date that it ended, and my notification that the package had ended was the new bill with the 70 dollar difference.
What really upset me is when the representative told me "well we are going to go ahead and send it to collections because there is nothing we can do on our end and maybe collections will be happy to adjust your account for you." I stated to your rep that I am calling them to make the payment. I just don't think that I should be charged the additional because I never received a notification to give me an option of what choice I would like to make with the services. The representative then tell me that "well it will be in collections in 2 hours so there's nothing we can do." I am not happy at all.
I've had AT&T for years, phone, cable and internet. I've paid ahead of time on each bill. And every time before I've received some type of notification that a lease agreement is ending and what my options are. I want you all to know that what you do for one you have to do for all, now it's crossing over to discrimination. And to be told after calling to, not dispute the charge itself, but the additional charge and be told your notice was the new bill with the new charge that you can't dispute after it's charged to you, is unacceptable. A multi billion dollar company and I'm on hold for over 2 hours, disrespected by 2 representatives, and my credit threaten over $70 Is unacceptable. The representative then transferred me over to the collections agency (which was closed). Terrible customer service.

I switched to AT&T last September and upgraded the Internet in my bundled package. The Internet was slow and they were trying to fix the issue. It has only gotten worse - to the point where internet is intermittent and I have to constantly reconnect. The last technician said my neighbor and I are having the same issue because the line ends with us (everybody on this line is served before us - so ours is weaker?). The technicians’ equipment shows how often I get kicked off and how slow it is. So I figured AT&T should be crediting me since I pay $60.00 a month for their upgraded internet which doesn’t work.
I spoke with a rep a couple of nights ago who kept wanting to send a technician out and I explained that they are aware and have been working on it for months. I told him I just want a credit on my bill and that I was considering going back to Brighthouse (Spectrum). He put me on hold to talk to his supervisor and then told me that the issue with my Internet could not be fixed and they were not going to put a new pole in for me (I never asked for that). I asked “this means there is nothing they can do?” He said yes. So I asked if I should go back to Brighthouse. He said yes!!! Wow. So Spectrum will be here on Saturday.

This company has the most dishonest sales and customer service reps out there. They tell you one thing and when you look into the details of the contract, the price, data caps and terms are different than what you were just verbally quoted. When you try to speak to a manager, your call first goes offshore, the only way you can speak with someone you can understand is to say you want to cancel. That will get you in touch with someone in the US. But, that person will usually be very nice and say they will fix your issue and send you details of your conversation and never do so. Then you find out that they never did fix what they said they would.
Tried for 2 days to speak to a manager. Still waiting on a callback. Never received the callback as promised by the Loyalty rep. This is a sketchy organization and it is sad that the once great and powerful AT&T has become this organization.

Schedule a technician for 5 days later. On that day they kept text me that he will be late, and if I want to keep the app. This went on for 8.5 hours until they stopped texting me without cancelling or notification. They just didn't care. Called and rescheduled for 2 days later. Did anyone show up? Of course not. It was all a lie.
I called to see why no one showed up. They said because I had called numerous times a manager would help me. Great, I thought! Boy, was I naive and so wrong. The manager said he'll make sure to personally "update me" which he did to tell me wait for 5 more hours. I waited. No one showed up. He never called me back.

My husband and I purchased our first home that should have been one of the happiest days of our lives but, it turned into a disaster transferring all services from old to new address. AT&T/DIRECTV is the first disaster that I’m giving a review for today. The first problem was the day that we agreed on for the transfer of service nobody showed up. Here’s why, they sent a representative to scam us into adding more services. A man who I thought was here to turn services on like he said but, he was there to convince me to trade in our phones from Sprint to AT&T and he’ll give us newer phones pay Sprint to end contract and, give the best monthly rates for two phone lines packages.
I was skeptical at first because AT&T has beat us before plus my daughter in her services with them. The rep made out a plan that was irresistible so I took the plunge. Let’s just cut this review short my first bill was $1000 dollars! My bill today is $600.00 plus dollars! They never paid for our cellphones that we traded in that were basically two years old and not in bad shape, not cracked, no problems at all! All that free phone talk to switch companies was a lie!

I have been calling customer service for 8 months, trying to get a cable line that is falling from the power line it's attached to, in front of my house repaired. My Internet speed has been sub par and suffer constant outages since this line started falling. I can't resolve the issue until the construction team repairs the line. I am stuck in limbo. No one will come fix the line, but they keep wasting my time sending technicians out who can't. I was just on hold earlier today for 17 minutes. The line disconnected for the second time this week, and no one called back once that happened as promised. The service is awful and I can't seem to navigate the company to get a solution. A child walking to school could potentially get hurt by the line once it completely falls and my driveway will be blocked. I'm at my end. I need help! Even once I cancel the service with them, that danger is still lurking.

Switched to AT&T fiber optic Internet service in October 2016. Installers were inept, this was relatively new to them. Took several days to run the line. Service was okay, until a neighbor had their service installed, resulting in disrupted service to us - twice! They were also very sloppy in running the line in the basement and burying the part outside the house. These cables were buried too shallow, just below the sod and in some places were exposed. I asked them why they bothered to have flags dropped in the yard to mark existing underground pipes and cables if they were going to do such a shallow (shoddy) job on burying the lines.
Added TV and two cell phones to bundle. TV was awful. There was too much delay from broadcast signal, so TV sports telecasts weren't exactly in real time. Storms often caused disruptions to satellite signals. Picture wasn't as clear as broadcast. Upgraded one TV to a 4K box, which I was assured would not change the duration of the contract. Don't believe them. They did extend out the contract for this. Understand that I wasn't adding a service, just upgrading a box. In addition, there was only one promotional channel with a 4K signal and the box quit working after a couple of months. To get a new box I would have to pay a service charge, I was told. Really, on a box I'm renting? Yep. I sent it back to them and canceled the 4K and left that TV without their service; I had to fight with them on the contract extension.
I added two cell phones to the bundle, having been out of contract with Verizon. One was on a promotion, which I thought was for bringing the phone from another service. The promotion required a 30-month contract, where they would reimburse the installment charge for the iPhone 7. After a period of time, I gave up on the TV and Internet. Just wasn't happy with the service, but gladly paid them a $150 early-termination fee to get out of those contracts. They then discontinued the promotion on the cell phone, even though that service continued. Yes, I still had to make the monthly payments for the cost of the iPhone, but they refused to reimburse for that. I didn't know the two were connected. I never received a copy of the contract. They had apparently sent it to a different e-mail address.
When I complained a customer service agent said she couldn't see where the two services were connected and assured me not to worry about the notice that informed me the monthly rebate for the cell phone cost would cease as a result of the cancellation of the other unrelated services. Well, I should have worried about it, because they did stop those rebates. It's all smoke and mirrors. Their business model is based on that kind of unfairness. Soon I will be done with AT&T for good, especially when I finally get back to even on the common stock I hold in that company, if that ever happens.

They also said they have no idea of any promotion for $119.99. This "promotion" is supposed to be good for a year but my next month's bill is projected at $170.00. I have no idea what is going on here. We NEVER signed a contract and anyone I`ve talked to say they have "no record" of the conversation. Wish I could find another option.

In my opinion, ATT Uverse is only for people that have plenty of time sitting around on their couches watching live TV.
3. If you happened to call customer services or technical support, they would redirect you to talk to someone halfway around the globe that do not know what the heck they doing. Plus there is a very high chance that they don't even have a set of TV at home to begin with. And if you tell them that you need to talk to someone in the USA, they will transfer you. Last time I wait on the line for one hour, yep, one hour. But guess what after one hour waiting on the line I could not wait any longer so I gave up. So I cannot give you the exact time frame you have to wait to get the help.

Finally I got to talk to someone (only when you told them you want to cancel the service, they will connect you to someone in the states, in my opinion). They tried to convince me to stay with them (waste more of my time again!) By offering a technician coming out to fix the problem. The problem is there was no technical problem to be fixed. They just do not have majority channels on demand and they blamed that because the TV channel owners' decided not to put them on demand???

On 10/1/18 a tech came out to our home to reconnect our 2-wire & up-date our equipment. Great. Later that day, I came home from my office but needed to jump on my laptop to complete a few things, so I connected to the internet & attempted to connect to my work VPN. Keep in mind, I had been able to do this - with no problems - for over a year (since I began this job). I got an error message saying I couldn’t connect to the VPN. Tried again. Nope. I g-chatted a co-worker who was still in the office to ask if the remote server was down. Nope. The next day I reached out to the tech & his supervisor to get them to come back & fix the problem. I also got on the phone with Tech Support. After a long hold time & several re-boots & re-starts... still didn’t work. The next day my company’s IT Support did a full diagnostic & determined that it was not a problem with my laptop or the VPN.
We tested that by tethering my iPhone's personal hotspot & logging in to the VPN. Bingo! So, as I’d been saying since it happened, whatever the tech did that day, he disabled my ability to work @ home as I had been & the only way for me to work from home was to use a ton of data going in via the hotspot. My tenacious & wonderful husband has since spent hours on the phone trying to get someone to fix it: other techs came out, couldn’t fix it. Tech Support over the phone kept saying that fixing the VPN was outside the scope of their expertise. So their techs could unwittingly break it but no one could fix it?!? Even with specific recommendations from my IT guy about what ports needed to be opened & issues needed to fixed no one @ AT&T seemed capable of figuring it out. Until Friday, 12/17/18: my husband made his weekly call & got a guy named Jerome online & after 45 minutes asked me to try to log in using our regular wifi.

I have internet and phone (VOIP) from AT&T. I live in a small town in a rural area and they are the only provider (I don't want satellite) available to me. I am near the maximum distance for DSL and get a slower rate because of that. The service drops off daily and sometimes every few minutes. It used to be significantly worse until they replaced the MODEM/router on my end. Now it is at least usable most of the time. They are providing and I pay for 5 Mbps service and I've seen it at 2 Mbps at times. Usually the service will drop for a few minutes and other times for a few hours.
If you report the problem, it will take a day or 2 usually to get someone out here to look at the problem so it is usually working long before they get here. I cannot and will not ever recommend AT&T DSL to anyone. I sure wish someone would run fiber in the area. AT&T has been promising an upgrade in my area for close to 5 years.

My family and I have been AT&T customers for a long period of time. However, over the last 12 months we have had an issue with our U-verse and Internet service that has not been resolved. First of all our U-verse service horrible due to it freezing 3-4 times a day. We have called it into customer service. They send out a technician who has basically told us, "It was wired, you need a new box or modem, it is the cabling outside." Bottom line it still hasn’t been fixed and still freezes 3-4 times a day. Second, our internet service has not been the best. We called and complained of how slow the speed was and were told we needed to increase the bandwidth which would increase the speed.
That didn’t work. Then it was you need a new modem. Then it was you need to install repeaters in your house to spread out the connection. Bottom line a technician comes out and we still have issues. As of yesterday afternoon we lost service to both. When my wife called she was informed that there is an issue inside the house with the wiring and a technician would be out. I called later in the evening and was told that it had to do with the cabling outside of our home. Then the representative had the nerve to offer us the opportunity to switch to DirecTV. If I switch to anything direct it will be to direct my business elsewhere as soon as I can find better service with a company that knows what they are doing. It is horrible how AT&T has treated us and doesn’t seem to care about wanting to fix an issue.

AT&T has never honored the agreement made two years ago. They never repaid us when we gave them our older phones and switched all services to AT&T. NUMEROUS attempts to retrieve money due us have been unsuccessful. The WiFi Service in our home seldom works resulting in us not being able to stream shows or use our DirecTV features. We plan to discontinue services and look for an honest and effective company(ies) to provide services as promised. AT&T IS NEITHER TRUSTWORTHY OR DEPENDABLE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS INFERIOR as well. I urge you to avoid AT&T services. They are not the company they were a decade ago.

The problem started when I tried to access a website and kept getting the following error message: "The connection has timed out". I checked online to see if it was down or not and all of them reported it was up and running. I tried the website again and I still got the same error. I tested it again using an online VPN and I was able to access it. The website I was trying to access was an online conversion for html and pdf files.
Found the answer at the AT&T Community Forums, one customer said that you had to contact AT&T and tell them to "Reset/change the DSN server" (the AT&T server, not the customer router) and that would clear everything up. I called AT&T, the first rep said he could fix it but then said he couldn't and had to transfer me to their tech support dept. The tech support rep said I first had to sign up for the "Advanced Technical Support", which would be $15 a month, to fix the problem. Then I contacted the customer, who gave the answer at the forum, and asked him if he had to sign up for the "Advanced Technical Support" to fix the problem. He said no, it was free but it was handled by the call center in the US (the customer reps that I spoke to were from a call center in India).
Something’s not right here and it's starting to look like the AT&T call center in India was trying to sell me the "Advanced Technical Support" to fix a simple problem. I've tried getting a hold of an AT&T rep in a US call center but I couldn't. If you're an AT&T customer and you're having this same problem, please file a complaint with the FCC and FTC so they can look in this problem.

About 3 months ago our Uverse TV had a problem with freezing and we had to reboot over and over. We finally called into Tech. Support after trying to resolve this on our own, and was told they would send us a DVR box to try and see if that would resolve the issue. Unfortunately it did not. We called in again and was told they would send us a Router. We did receive new router and so far it has fixed the issue. The first representative we spoke with gave us a case number and said to call back after corrected to receive credits. When I called they advised me the ONLY credit they could offer was $25. They also said if wanted cheaper service she could change us to DirecTV or they would help us cancel services.
We have been a loyal customer for MANY years. We only ask for any credits when a mistake was made or we feel we deserve it, due to out of pocket cost or inconvenience. We pay over $100 a month just for Uverse and $25 credit was unacceptable. As I felt I had no choice I told them to put the $25 on account and as of today, it has not shown. Very frustrated and would appreciate any help.

I called to have my equipment upgraded, I was told that someone would call me back the next day to schedule a time for a technician to come out to complete the job. No one called so two days later I called them back. There had been no order put in for the upgrade, so we scheduled for Dec. 3, 2018. They called after the 4 window that should have arrived and said the tech did not have the equipment so we rescheduled for Dec. 10th. On this date, and again after the 4 hour window they had told me they would arrive they called and said they could not come because the tech didn’t have the correct equipment.
After being transferred from person to person about 6 times for over 2 hours on the phone they wanted to schedule for the 17th (“when they would have the correct equipment” LOL), then the 13th, and then the 11th while being told there had been no work order, I was done. The bottom line is the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. Needless to say I cancelled my service with them completely after 4+ years as a customer. I called a competitor the same evening, and they set me up for the next day (hopefully they will come through but I can’t imagine it could be worse than this company). This company is awful, unprofessional, and clueless. I do not recommend them to ANYONE!!!

I spent over 3 hours on the phone with AT&T this week and was not able to get anything accomplished due to the incompetence of the customer service associates they employ. At&t had me lift a freeze off of my credit with the wrong company (I was told Experian and it is Equifax) and when I called back it was handled as if it was no big deal. So now I'm supposed to contact Equifax to have them lift my freeze after I had it done with Experian already. When I requested a manager I was told that because it is the weekend there are no managers working. I find it hard to believe that a company as large as AT&T would have such lack of concern for the way consumers personal information is handled. I am already not comfortable with providing my SSN but had to provide it twice because I was given the wrong information. And when I tried to get the service a second time I was told the freeze was still showing.
I advised I had the freeze taken off with Experian and she said, "No it's Equifax, so you have to contact them." When I was conferenced with the lady in AT&T credit department she told me that no one would have told me that it was Experian as if I was a liar. I advised her that no one in her department told me that but I was in fact told that by a CSR and their supervisor a couple days prior. She had no empathy for my situation even though I had spent over 3 hours on the phone with no resolution.
I thought I would give them another try after I had to cancel their service a few years ago after only having it for a week because you could not watch more than 3 televisions at a time with their service and I was not told that even though I rented 4 boxes. AT&T dug up my yard some weeks ago to lay lines for this new internet service and I am not even able to get any benefit from it. This is really poor service and I am highly disappointed in one of the worlds leading telecommunications companies.

I've had At&t Uverse Internet for years at my apartment, upload speeds have always been dreadfully slow, despite being in a good service area, (turning in photo projects sometimes takes hours). Anyways, I'm moving in with my fiancee, who already has a provider (and takes at most 15 mins to upload large projects). I call to cancel service and of course they want me to transfer the service, no thanks just cancel it please. The customer support agent tells me I will be charged a cancellation fee if they can provide service to the new address and I opt not to transfer it. Can they have the address, I told them I didn't want to give them the new address because I didn't want sales mailers. Then they said if I didn't give them the address a cancellation fee is mandatory. Of course that is total BS, they are trying to scare people.
Anyways, gave them the address because the guy was "going by the computer." Then of course he quoted bogus speeds and said they are much better than my current provider at that address and that my current upload speeds are only 1 mbps, and they could offer me at least 1gb a second. What?? You can't speed test my internet speed from wherever you are just by my address!! Also, totally bogus because my upload speeds here are worlds better than when I had At&t.
They are following misleading scripts and lying to people about bogus charges and internet speeds. He then had to submit my request to a "specialist" to approve my request to cancel service which was "approved" and then tried to get off the phone as quickly as possible - but I stopped him before getting off the phone and Got him to tell me there was no cancellation fee! What a huge load! They have that implemented in their scripts to scare people when they full well know if you're in contract or not + you can't charge someone a fee for not telling you their new address!!! Looking forward to never using this company again. Oh, and it took several transfers + 30 mins just to get to the department to cancel my service.

We have had AT&T for our internet for almost 4 years now. Though not by choice. As renters we are subject to whatever internet our building is wired for and unfortunately that has been AT&T in every building we have been in. I REALLY don't like how that works. It takes away consumer freedoms and smells of mini monopolies. So we are stuck paying for service that is slow and that's the only reliable part of the service. You can count on it dropping out or dipping in speed daily. Too much to count. We have called multiple times throughout the years and the funny thing is the service and connection always improves for a short time but then goes back to the old slow and dropping connection it was. THEN when you call they always want to charge you more for "faster" internet. As if that's going to change the drops in connection and at this point I don't believe it would change the speed either. It hasn't so far.
What REALLY gets me is that the guy who installed their equipment told me we actually share the service with 3 or 4 units anyway so even if we paid for the 1000 speed internet we wouldn't actually be getting it because we can't due to the shared factor and apparently also because the equipment isn't capable of it. Is this not false advertising?? Paying for something you can't even get. That's messed up. That's a scam. It's always more money for nothing. We would change providers if we could. It's sad when your internet connection is slow even when you are only using your TV and have all other devices disconnected just to try and keep Netflix or Sling from buffering or dropping out completely. AT&T is a SCAM!!! And we are forced to use it or nothing at all. How is that fair.

Have been with AT&T Internet services for over a year. The only thing available in my area is DSL and nothing else unless I go cable. The download speed is only 4.9mbps and the upload speed is 0.7 mbs. Try and get a hold of billing or tech help and you should reserve about two hours as the phone numbers they give you are always wrong. Today I received three bills; one for my usual $41.00, then another for $47.51, and a third for $51.00. I should be paying only $41.00 unless I go over gigabytes then another $10.00 is added, but that seldom occurs.
So now I will be using Xfinity Internet. They came out and found my disconnected TV cable (as I have DirecTV with Wifi) and ended up running a new cable from two houses down to my box as this cable is more advanced. The tech will arrive on 12/1 to hook it all up; even bought my own modem box ($64.00) that is used by Xfinity so my payments each month will be about the same as AT&T except I won't have networks going down like on AT&T does. Total installation for Xfinity is only $89.00 which includes the cable and modem hookup. IF YOU DECIDE to go with AT&T for any services, expect to get what you deserve!!!

Two weeks later I get a limp email from a fellow by the name of Henn who claims to be in some department in Dallas and he is the one to answer and correct any problems. He gave me a phone # and told me to leave a message and he would get back to me, of course, at his convenience. I responded to his email giving him a time frame to call me. Zero response. Within the week I will have service other than ATT even with the gross inconvenience of redoing all my established emails etc. To those considering ATT, my advice, run!!! They lie, mislead, have mostly Indians who don't speak nor understand English well trying to schedule fixes for your problem(s) and it seems to never work out. If you are prepared for one to three weeks waits for service welcome to ATT.
"Please join my Crusade to uphold third-rate service because ATT is in grave danger of dropping below that threshold. Although you will probably never read this letter, someone will, unless it is handled as all my other contacts with ATT have been, it will simply be ignored in hopes it will go away. Well this time I think your minions will get their wish and I will just go away from ATT. But first, let me explain why:
I will not list past problems, although there have been many. My current problem is with U-Verse of which I have had for several years, the U450 edition, which including internet and two little used cell phones cost me somewhat north of $4000 per year. I have three TVs in my system and recently the information about what program is currently running at the bottom of the screen plus all guide and information functions stopped working. Two of the three corrected themselves but the third, and the one most watched, is still missing that function.
First, I called your service line and was connected to someone in Manila or Subic Bay or somewhere in the Philippines. They were not too helpful and nothing was accomplished other than scheduling a service call, which was to be performed at 7:00 AM on Monday the 29th of October, plus someone, somewhere, in you system was supposed to send me a new set top box to arrive before that Monday. We disrupted other plans to be home and available at that time. Surprise! Neither set top box nor service representative arrived.
I called again that Monday and spoke to someone who said she was in South Florida. She tended to be argumentative and we settled on sending me a set top box, which I would install. We also discussed canceling my account. This is the third day and still no set top box. I called again today, October 31, how fitting, it being Halloween and this time got connected to someone in Mumbai or Bangalore or some other Indian hotspot. I’m not sure what was accomplished because I couldn’t understand much of what he was saying but I think he was supposed to send another set top box, standard shipping, to arrive in three business days. Succinctly, by the time you get this complaint and you decide whether or not to follow company protocol and ignore it, I will either have a completely working ATT system or I will have some other service, after all, streaming, even for an old non-techno ** like me should be able to figure it out.
Another interesting fact is that the ATT service center that will dispense the technicians to actually do any work is less than a kilometer from my residence yet I can’t go there for service. Please, I understand the supposed economy in centralizing corporate functions but I don’t think all the centralization, outsourcing to Bangalore and other overseas locations and H1-b’s are worth what it is ultimately going to cost you in customer loyalty. Certainly none of the supposed savings and economies that are to be had is accruing to your customer base but the animosity most certainly is. Please, at least offer us (your customers) the option of dealing with someone in the USA and speaks understandable English. On the plus side all your representatives are good at apologizing and sympathizing and understanding my concerns but not very good at actually addressing the problem."

October 7, 2018. It will take a lot for me to ever reconsider using AT&T again. I have given the benefit of the doubt for years on the lack of professionalism and accuracy/consistency with their efforts. And when I move off my parent’s phone plan, I will NOT be choosing AT&T. July 2017 moved into my apartment and signed up for AT&T's internet only. Used it for the year and had no issues. May 2018 called to inform AT&T that in July, I will be moving out of my apartment and into a new home. This time I wanted to have 2 TVs (1 DVR) and internet. Picked my packages and scheduled my installation date.
July 2018, installation guy came and set up our TV and internet. Only minor thing was that the company had a shortage of DVRs nationwide. The installation guy set us up with the one TV for now and said the DVR will be shipped to my house when they are back in stock and then I can just plug it in and use it on my second TV. I was AOK with this for the meantime. NOTE: I have 1 working TV and working internet starting JULY 2018. August 2018, I get my first bill in the new house. I called AT&T and informed them that I am being billed for 2 TVs, 1 DVR and internet but I still do not have the DVR and I only have 1 TV right now. The lady said “No worries at all. I am already aware of this and I have deducted it from your account.” I was okay with this as well for now.
September 2018 I still do not have the DVR. I got my bill and see that they automatically deducted the amount off again so I don’t have to pay for something that I do not have. Thursday, September 27th 2018 get a message on my TV stating that my services have been turned off. I have no working TV anymore and no internet. I work a second job being a remote assistant for a lawyer where I need internet so right away I call AT&T to find out what happened and hopefully get my internet turned back on.
Spoke with someone in the call center regarding this issue. She says she does not know why my account was cancelled and she will transfer me to someone that can help investigate this further. The next person said they can see that I NEVER completed a request for a transfer of services to my new home and that can be the main reason as to why the account was cancelled. (Very interesting as to how that is my fault when I called in May, set up my Move In Date and Installation and have had TV and internet since July in my new home, but okay AT&T let's blame this on the customer…)
She then further explains they can’t just turn on the current TV box and modem that we have in our house but we have to get an installation guy out there to install brand new ones. She also said the best solution is to set up a new account and start all over. She then transferred me to someone in sales. Right away I told the sales department my frustrations when she stated it will take over a week to get an installation guy out to my house to set up TV and internet again. After hearing my story of what happened she told me she is going to send this to her supervisor and have him get an expedited date for installation for me.
The supervisor was able to get me an expedited date of installation to Tuesday, October 2nd instead of Saturday, October 6th. The hours they will be coming is between 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm and since AT&T was set up before in the home it wouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes for the guys to just install a new TV box and new modem. They also informed me that the tech will call 30 minutes before his arrival. I explained that I had work Tuesday but I will make it happen to be here so I moved my schedule from 12:00 pm - 9:00 pm to 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm instead. Lastly, after the 2.5-hour long phone call with AT&T they offered me 3 months free all of all premium movie channels for the inconvenience. I was happy for the nice gesture.
Tuesday, October 2nd 2018. 1:00 pm passes, 2:00 pm passes, and 2:30 pm passes and still no phone call from the Tech. I call AT&T and they said they were sorry that a tech has not arrived yet but someone will still be coming today. They just can’t give me an exact time of when they will arrive. They told me to wait it out till 3:00 pm and if no one calls then to give them a call back to reschedule a time. 3:10 pm passes and still no phone call from a tech. I call AT&T back and tell them I have to reschedule because I have to go to work. The lady gives me an option date that is over a week away. I began to get frustrated and asked if I can speak to a supervisor to explain my situation and see if they can get me another expedited date.
The supervisor then walked through the old steps again trying to figure out why I have 2 separate accounts for the same house, then tells me “Oh I see YOU NEVER completed a transfer for your services to your new house. That is why they cancelled your first account"...(RIGHT!?!) and then said “The best I can do is get you an installation date for this Friday, October 5th between 9:00 am - 11:00 am and a tech will call you 30 minutes before to let me know they are on their way.” I said “Okay I will take that”. She also offered me the first month free due to the inconvenience. Again, I was happy for this offer as well.
SIDE NOTE: Every time AT&T explained that the reason why my services was turned off is because I NEVER completed a transfer date to my new home. Even though we know I clearly did. They also kept telling me that I have NOT had TV and internet for the past few months. I had to explain every time that YES I have had TV and internet this whole time and they kept telling me I did not. Then I explain that the guy came to my house in July and set it up and they said they did not have a record of that service ever being completed either. I don’t understand how they do not have records of any of this. And why would I have called in August stating that I only have 1 working TV instead of 2 and don’t want to be paying for 2 TVs when I don’t have 2 TVs and that’s why they deducted it from my bill. None of that added up to me…
Friday, October 5th 2018. 9:00 am passes, 10:00 am passes, 11:00 am passes, and now it's noon. I call AT&T and ask for an update on when a tech will be arriving. The lady in the call center said, "I see you had an appointment for today but I also see that it was cancelled…" At this point I am in tears because I have been without internet for over a week and I need internet for my second job. I asked why and who cancelled the appointment. She did not have an answer. I asked if I could speak to the supervisor that had helped me out on Tuesday and she said she did not have any records of who I spoke to last time.
On Tuesday the supervisor said she is putting “notes” on my account of this call for future reference but the lady this time says there is no notes of a call with a supervisor. They only see a note stating “was transferred to a supervisor.” The only solution the girl on the phone said was to reschedule me for another installation date. At this point all I want is internet to get installed into my home ASAP.
I then remembered I had the original tech’s phone number that installed my TV and internet in July on the document they left behind for me if I were to have any issues. I gave him a call. He remembered setting up my house right away. He also gave me a direct number to call for a regional manager in the area that can hopefully get someone to my house ASAP to give me internet. I explained that all they need to do is put in a new box and modem and it shouldn’t be long at all.
I called that regional manager and right away he was super apologetic and told me to send him my address, new account number and pin code for my account. He said he will figure out what he can do for me today and if nothing can be done today he will schedule me a new appointment if worse comes to worst. His last words to me were “I will get back to you within the hour of the final verdict.” 3 hours go by and I have heard nothing… (Update: Saturday October 6th at 1:00 pm I have still never heard anything from this regional manager.)
Friday night I drove to the Xfinity store nearby. Asked if there was a chance I can get TV and internet set up asap. Their answer was yes. They scheduled a tech to come to my house the next day Saturday, October 6th between 10:00 am -12:00 pm. That night I received 3 reminder calls from Xfinity to confirm the appointment for the next morning. I received texts messaged from Xfinity all morning Saturday giving me updates on when my tech will arrive. My tech arrived at 10:15 am. He set up my TV and internet. He did have to rewire the house with new Comcast connections since there was AT&T connections previously and had zero issues after that.
AT&T has disappointment me in the past but this past week and a half has been by far the worst. 1. To blame me as the customer as to the reason why my account was cancelled. I did my part in May by calling AT&T, informing them of my move, informing them that I wanted to upgrade to having both TV and internet, by setting up my installation date, by being there for my installation date, and by staying on top of my bill when I needed to call them and remind them that I do not have a DVR box and only 1 TV instead of 2 like my bill had stated.
2. Them selling more DVRs than they had in stock for their customers. 3. Them not showing up to their appointments and not giving any warning to the customer. No reminder calls, no update texts, no call from the techs. (Side note: Tuesday October 2nd after rescheduling my appointment I had a tech text me at 4:30 pm saying they were at my house and no one was home. I told him the appointment got rescheduled at 3:10 pm) But still no call from him 30 minutes beforehand…
4. Them not keeping good records of conversations or my information on my account… And this has happened to my parent’s time and time again. SIDE STORY: My family has AT&T for our phones and does not have unlimited data. AT&T charges $15 for every gig that you go over. When you dial the number *data# you get an automated text message breakdown of every single phone on your plan and the amount of data they use.
We would get the text notification from AT&T stating that we have gone over data and then get about 3 more of those texts (yes getting charged an extra $15 every time) but our data breakdown per phone does not move at all. (Example: Let’s say my phone and everyone’s data usage says 1,003 data used. It would say our data went up another 1gb but mine and everyone else’s data usage will still be at 1,003 but yet we keep getting charged.) We are really good at shutting off our data when we start to go over but AT&T doesn’t think so.
When my dad brought this to AT&T‘s attention all they said was “oh we don’t have those records on the usage breakdowns. We just see that you went over time and time again. So my dad got charged $15 more 5 times each bill resulting in about $45, $60, $75 extra each bill. I kept my cool, I gave them the benefit of doubt and I even wanted to keep the service time and time again but eventually had no other option than to go to Xfinity to get internet back in my house. What was so hard to get a current client’s services turned back on after AT&T’s FAULT of turning it off?

On Oct. 30, 2018, I called AT&T to cancel my Internet and DirecTV bundle. I spoke with Johnathan and after numerous questions and answers he said he cancelled the service on both and gave me a confirmation number. I also returned all the equipment through UPS, as instructed by Johnathan. Today, Nov 7th, I decided to check my account to see that it was closed. To my surprise, my account was still open and my Internet and DirecTV were still showing as active.
I spoke to a different rep today, and I think she has cancelled both as she gave me two separate cancellation numbers (one for Internet and one for DirecTV) and issued me a small refund. I say, I think it is cancelled as my account still is open when I check it on the website, but it does show a refund. I will give it until tomorrow, and then I hope to see a closed account message. If I had not decided to check, I would still be in the dark about this account being active and would receive another bill from them. Be careful! If you cancel service with AT&T, check to make sure the rep really did cancel it.

For 5 years I had ATT Uverse internet on the 12MB/s package (that's the highest speed available at my address). Recently I noticed speed decreases and I find out that Uverse changed my package without me asking. I had 4 different service technicians come out over a 2 week period and the only answer they could find was "your speed package was changed because you are too far from the junction box." So now, after pulling the full speed of the plan I pay for 5 years I am no longer able to get that package because "you were never able to get that speed." Except I was... I did it for 5 years. So I'm paying $62 for 6MB/s instead of $67 for 12MB/s.
If you are able to use Spectrum, do it. Don't worry about what other people say about them. Trust me on this, you'd rather have fast internet that goes out every once in a while than slow internet that is fairly stable but costs twice as much. They even had the audacity to lie to me and say they were running fiber to my neighborhood to explain the speed drop... Temporary they assured me. In my opinion, the trouble I've been through is almost worth just canceling internet altogether until another ISP comes this way, and I MAKE MY LIVING ONLINE. It's ridiculous and they've been nothing but trouble.

I was calling to cancel my DirecTV. The representative that I was finally transferred to was a young, aggressive salesperson. I was being offered all three services for $135 a month. It was all supposed to run off of my phone, with a Sim chip they would send out. I had seen some bad reviews on AT&T previously and was very skeptical. I was on the phone at least for an hour, and was being badgered most of that time. I could not find online reviews easily; all the searches were sites for selling their bundles. I finally landed on the Consumer Affairs site and could see all the terrible reviews on their customer service. I decided you get what you pay for; and what if I lost my phone? I would have no internet or TV! I agree, the customer service just trying to get someone to cancel my TV service was bad; I got transferred all around. I just don't trust them!

I moved to Nashville into an apartment complex that had a group rate with AT&T Uverse so coverage through them was required. Once moved in, I called to set up an appointment to have them set up whatever came with the flat rate I paid my landlord since my apartment wasn’t tv or internet ready. On July 5th, they said the soonest appointment was the 23rd so naturally I agreed, then called back to try and reschedule. The soonest they now claimed was the 11th which was infinitely better so I let it be. The 11th came and my appointment get canceled due to “facility issues” that no one could explain. They rescheduled for 7/19 but the same thing happened again.
Eventually they realized wires had disconnected outside but only my apartment was affected. By August 3rd I had service, and eventually got a bill for $32. If I paid my landlord the flat rate, why am I being charged anything? I assumed it was a mistake and ignored it, until my internet got suspended. Turns out, they charged me for extra speed which I never agreed to. I just got off the phone after trying to cancel this extra charge and reverse the late fees and restoral charges on my account. According to them, I owe them $89 in fees, including that extra internet speed I never knowingly authorized and $45 to restore internet after failing to pay for a charge I never agreed to.
In the end, the call was disconnected, I called back only to be transferred to the “higher ups” which I later realized was the line for Spanish speaking customers. I don’t even know what to say, other than these people are basically stealing from me. I even paid my landlord the flat rate for July when I never received service until August. I’m in a battle with them to get a credit as well. I will never do business with AT&T ever again. Never in my life did I think I’d find a company worse than Comcast, but lo and behold, here we are.

My cost for the same service was going to increase by $75 per month.
My only option (after hours on the phone) was to go with a lesser DirecTV package and still end up with paying $40 more than I had been paying the last two years for more channels. I told them I would be canceling service and going with a different company. I had a different provider install tv and internet service, they have spent 4 hours today trying to get AT&T to cancel my DirecTV and internet service... they just continued to give me different phone numbers to call, transferred me around, and finally would not stop trying to offer me other plans.
I final put my foot down that I wanted to cancel. She put me on hold and came back with a price of $50 less per month than I had paid the last two years to keep me. I told her I had already installed other service and it was ridiculous that I had not been offered that the other day when I had spent hours of the phone with an agent.

After spending 5 hours - no exaggeration - on the phone with various AT&T agents I was able to access my account online to determine what kind of internet service I had. No one could tell me what kind of service I had until they could verify my account - and that took hours and hours. I then made an appointment for fiber optic. The appointment was from 11-1pm. No show. I took a vacation day. I asked if there was any way to contact the service truck and of course there was not. And of course there was no one else to talk to.
Every single contact I have had with AT&T has resulted in delays, misinformation and bad service. When I moved there were three trucks that showed up for installation at my new house- and the installers laughed and said that happened a lot. This is by far the most mismanaged company I have ever encountered. No reason for them to improve given they almost have a monopoly. There is no recourse for a consumer - my lost day and lost pay will never be reimbursed. And the money lost by this company due to its mismanagement has to run into millions - if not billions internationally. Stay away from AT&T!!

I lived in the same house for over 15 years and had AT&T internet for most of those years paying faithfully with automatic withdrawal. I decided to move closer to my work and had someone rent my house. I just wanted to transfer the service to his name so he could use the box I had and was already set. I filled out the online form, got a 4 digit code and he signed the transfer agreement online. I originally called. Somehow the transfer was cancelled, even though we were told the transfer would take effect in two weeks, so instead they just left the service on until they decided to disconnect it. I found out months later the service was cancelled.
They claim that they sent an email notifying me to an old email address I no longer use. I'm guessing it is the email address I had when I set up service years ago. They couldn't even pick up the phone to tell me. I thought everything was ok. First they kept calling me by some other name which I have no idea where they got it. I truly tried to resolve the issue by calling them back and set up a time to have an installer come out. My new tenant took the day off work that they scheduled and didn't show up and he no longer had any vacation days. He called and they wanted to set up another day. Turns out while they left the service on in my name they raised my bill to over 360 bucks. Charged me for their old box and put a bad mark on my credit report.
Had they reached out and called me as to why they did not transfer, I would have taken care of it right away. I spoke to the office of the President but they were very rude. Talked to me like I was a liar and said I still owe. Fine... but not no 360 bucks. I know I was told the transfer would take place as if it was certain. Not even a bill to my new address. I don't understand why they feel it is okay to just tell someone something is going to happen and it doesn't. Not even call me. No show my tenant. I could of just shut the service off and let him set it up himself, but thought that way would be easier. I am truly disappointed in AT&T's lack of communication and unkept promises. After being a faithful customer for so many years, they never took that into account or even wanted to keep me as a customer. I would have set up AT&T in my apartment but after that... No Way!

After nearly 3 years of HORRIBLE service and paying $135 per MONTH for 5MBPS down/up (or less, and many times 1mbps), and two technicians later, the final conclusion from the second tech was that we need to run on 5GHz in lieu of the standard 2.5GHz. Although the speed increase significantly, none of our machinery (printers, scanners, fax) would run. The technicians decided to tell us about a data package ATT had been running through u-verse for a few years - fiber optics - which promised a speed of 100MBPS down and I believe 50MBPS up for ONLY $40 per month. The technician was very HUSH about it, and told us to keep the two accounts under wraps until their work had concluded. VERY SNEAKY internal workings.
Regardless, the service was installed and has been very good, HOWEVER, they did not instruct us on cancellation and removal of equipment of the former equipment, possibly because they wanted to be hands off. Confusions between services led to the billing department. We have NEVER been late on our service for nearly 3 years. Having misunderstood which equipment/service bill was from U-verse or ATT was difficult. Eventually we received a call that our bill was behind and so we made an arrangement to pay, but we had no idea who it was we'd be paying and broke the promise which lead to a $35 charge.
As the business owner, I look beyond the issue in front of me when dealing with a particular client. For clients who have always paid on time and proven a great working relationship, especially if my service is GARBAGE (which it's not), I do everything in my power to rectify the issue and keep the customer. All I have ever received from ATT business internet is horrible service, incapable technicians, and greed over a $35 mistake that, YES I agreed to, but I shift back to their court as they left us confused and unknowing all to sell a program they SHOULD have suggested back when I signed up or when it came to. If you have another option outside of ATT, take it. We do run wifi, and expect some latency, but.

After suddenly not being able to connect to the Internet, we called AT&T Customer Service, and our call was routed to India. The technician attempted to be helpful, but after an hour on the phone spent troubleshooting, he determined that we needed a new modem. This was on a Thursday. We were told that a new modem would be sent but would not arrive until the following Tuesday. This was not acceptable because our business relies on us being online on a daily basis.
We asked if there were a service rep who could deliver it to us; the answer was "no." However, he said he would put us on hold and talk to his supervisor to see if the order could be expedited. Several minutes later, we were told that it would arrive on Saturday. It did not. It is now Monday evening, and we have been without Internet connection for five days. Obviously we will be discontinuing our account. We thought one of the benefits of selecting AT&T over providers such as Hulu was customer service. We thought wrong.

Every single month I have to call customer service for service interruption since there are always issues on their end. Spend hours being transferred from department to department and always answering the identification answers prior to explaining again what my main issue is. Most of the time, they just end up hanging up on me. I have been calling them every other month for the last 5 years due to service interruption. Too bad my apartments have contract with them. I am seriously going to move out just to escape from dealing with AT&T. The one company I truly hate with passion.

I had been looking for an alternative to my cable which is very expensive. I had actually called AT&T to fix something on my wireless bill and was given the schpiel about Uverse. It seemed like a good deal but I told them I only really watch Cardinals baseball games and was assured they were available in my area. Comes installation day and the guy gets it all set up and I start looking for the day’s Cardinals game. I find the channel but it says I’m not subscribed to it. I call customer service and they tell me the channel is blocked out in my area. WHY DIDNT YOU KNOW THAT WHEN I ORDERED IT? I am so pissed I told them I didn’t want it and was not going pay them one cent for being lied to.

All I wanted to do was to set up wifi in my new apartment. I called the number. First thing, I got a robotic voice that had me wait for 5 minutes. Then I had a real person from India. The guy was terrible. I had to spell out Little Rock and I said AR for the state. I also had to spell my name and email out about 5 times before he could finally get it right. I was very clear this entire time.
After I got done with this guy, I then moved on to someone else. Again, I had to wait for 5 minutes. Then someone came on and said that I needed to speak to someone else. So I had to wait another 5 minutes. With this person, she kept calling me ma'am but I'm not ma'am. I was purposely trying to talk lower but still this lady kept calling me ma'am even though I said I'm sir several times. Clearly, this company does not know how to handle phone service properly and it clearly does not care about getting new customers. I've never had any kind of trouble like this. I had to wait at least 45 minutes before I got something done. This experience was so bad, I would give AT&T zero stars if I could.

We switched from our local cable provider to DirecTV 4 years ago and for the most part it worked great, except for the awful On Demand service, which they've admitted is pretty awful but thanks to devices like Roku it's becoming more and more of a moot point every day. Fast forward to AT&T acquiring them and it's gone downhill fast.
The interface is incredibly frustrating and not user friendly, (which they're still trying to fix 1 year later) and the most frustrating part is here's an example of a company that was known for great customer support that AT&T decided it would be in THEIR best interest to offshore, resulting in teeth clenching frustration, incredibly bad script reading with no solutions other than "I need to schedule someone to come out" when you even try to explain to them that all you're doing is checking on if there's an update in the menu guide fix, or the DVR losing recordings fix and a whole host of other options that could be easily troubleshooted or at least give the customer an ETA for a new firmware update! The technicians get sent out, they look at the TV and just sigh like I do and say "we have no idea why they sent us. It's something that needs to be fixed from our side with updates."
Not to mention this new cross selling for other ATT services is getting ridiculous! Even today when calling in a support person asked "Are you calling from an AT&T phone?", "Is your internet through AT&T", NO! In fact my phone WAS AT&T and I got rid of it for better service! Now that they now own a majority of the cable channels thanks to the Time Warner acquisition I'm waiting with bated breath for the day that AT&T just holds our programming hostage unless we name our children A, T, T.

The work I do requires I upload large files (more often than not over 6 GB) on a daily basis. I've run innumerable speed tests from a variety of speed test services at various times throughout the day and night and I constantly have a download speed of 23.6 mbps and an upload speed of 1.4 mbps. Think about that for a moment. 23.6 mbps down and 1.4 mbps up. That's horrid. No, that's disgusting. That's unacceptable by anyone's standards, regardless of who and where you are.
I'm consistently running into issues trying to share data with clients. Uploads that anywhere else in the world would take a matter of minutes, take almost 3 hours. I swear I could upload files faster over WiFi in Mozambique. I've called AT&T multiple times to resolve disruptions in my internet with little to no remedy. Sure the associate I talk to tells me to change a handful of router settings - perhaps I change some of the ports or something - but nothing has improved; not the stability, not the speed.
I've also called to inquire about upgrading to a higher tier internet package, but, of course they "don't offer any upgrades in my area." Now I currently live in a highly populated residential neighborhood in Orange County. When a customer service representative for a dominant internet provider tells me it's not possible to upgrade the level of service in my area, the first thought I have is, "wow this is the biggest load of horse crap I've ever heard in my life." Then I hop in my car to go pick up some groceries and see a Spectrum truck parked in front of my neighbor's house. I know Spectrum provides internet packages at least 5 times better than AT&T in my area (bare minimum 100 mbps down). And now that I see they service residents in my very own neighborhood, my next thought is, "I KNOW AT&T's service is the biggest piece of slimy, putrid excrement ever to be pawned off to poor suckers who don't know any better."
It's difficult to contain my disdain for the garbage AT&T is pumping through my ethernet cables and into my computer. Beyond making my job a nightmare, when I find a rare occasion to relax and play an online video game, my ping is never lower than 60 or 70 ms. Often, at random times during the day (I've recorded incidents around 11am, 2pm, 11pm, and more) I will get HUGE lag spikes. My internet connection will almost cease to exist. My in-game ping will be over 1,100 ms. YouTube won't buffer. It will even take a web page such as Google over 6 seconds to load. How is that even legal?
Suffice to say I've endured the tyranny of AT&T's enslavement for two years now, and by golly that's two years too many. I am currently in the process of switching to either Spectrum or Frontier and I suggest ANYONE in the world who has AT&T should promptly do the same. Maybe then AT&T, arguably the most inferior internet provider on the market, will shrivel up and die in a pool of its own urine and bile. But perhaps that will remain only my wish. For now, I will be saying my goodbyes and not turning back.

On my last attempt at figuring out this (simple) issue last week, I was tossed to 5 different people to assist - and only part of the issue was actually resolved. I have heard others' frustrations with AT&T in the past, but have never been so aggravated with a company in my life. They are terrible and I hope to switch to a different provider soon.

The AT&T customer service is pathetic. I requested that my Uverse TV + Internet service be moved because I was moving. The date of my move got changed, so I called them well before the scheduled disconnect/reconnect dates to have everything changed. They said it was all taken care of -- it wasn't. They cut off my service early. So in order to get it reconnected they wanted to run a credit check on me. I had the account with AT&T for over a year, paid everything on-time, and dealt with their error. Even so, there was nothing they could do. I spoke to a customer service manager (who wasn't even located in the US) and she said there was nothing she could do for me either. She apologized profusely for their error, but they still wanted to penalize me for their error. Take my advice: choose ANYONE else but AT&T.

I waited a couple of years after they buried the Uverse fiber cables to switch. I had read a lot of bad reviews on the neighborhood site. In April 2018, a girl and a guy soliciting for AT&T (in a non-solicitation community - signs posted at every entrance) knocked on my door. They offered a promotion of $80/mo with an additional $10/mo discount for being a current AT&T wireless customer to switch from Spectrum ($100/mo). So, I decided to give it a shot. We scheduled installation for the coming Saturday between 9-11 am.
The technician never showed. I called and was told the appointment had been canceled. I never canceled... But at this point I didn’t even bother to reschedule. Fast forward a month later. I’m on the phone with customer service (oxymoron) over a billing issue with my wireless (I should have stopped there) and am presented with the same promotion. I explained the previous situation and was assured it wouldn’t happen again and she’d make sure of it. Guess what? It happened again. When I called yet again to express my dissatisfaction with their promises and guarantees, I was transferred to Mr. Paul **, who, again, assured me they would be out to do the installation. I verified the $70/mo and he also waived the installation fee for my trouble.
3rd time was indeed the charm. On July 5, 2018, technicians installed my service. Finally... but the headache doesn’t end there. On July 11, 2018, I received my first bill. $93! I immediately called to investigate the issue. The representative put me on hold for over 20 minutes. I hung up and thought, “I’ll try again tomorrow” as it was already late.
For the next 2 weeks I was on the phone with customer service. I was told the promotion had ended and wasn’t available when service was installed (even though I had verified and was provided the monthly bill information via email), how the “AT&T customer service representatives role is to educate ‘you customers’”, was hung up on, placed on excessive holds, talked overtop of, and belittled.
On July 27, 2018, I called to cancel the service completely. The lady I spoke to was fantastic! The first person I’d spoken to at AT&T with any competence or customer service skills whatsoever. She was able to immediately credit my account for the $10/mo that was promised and apply the original promotion - bringing my bill to $80/mo with $120 credit. I was showing a $-27.00 credit immediately. First bill was covered completely and I still had a $27 credit for the next bill. Everything is good now, right? Nope!
On August 5, 2018, the $27 credit was applied to the next bill and I was charged $42.34. Again, I am showing a $0 balance after paying the $42.34. I was under the impression that this was going toward my August-September bill. Again, wrong. It is showing that the entire $120+$42.34 was for my July-August bill. $162.34 for one month?!? Now, I didn’t catch that until I received yet ANOTHER bill today, August 17, 2018, that shows a PAST DUE balance of $38.34 due by August 26.
Let’s do the math here: $93 bill for July-August ($23 overcharge), -$120 credit for July-September to cover the $93 and part of the August-September bill, a $42.34 charge also for July-August, then another $38.34 also for July-August. Totaling $53.68. So, my total bill for July-August was $173.68 and I will owe another $81 for August-September due by the first week of September (assuming the billing is correct this time).
So, I call customer service again so I can allow them to explain what’s going on with the billing because nothing I’m doing is adding up correctly. They told me that I pay a month in advance for services. Okay, that still doesn’t explain the charges that are showing... I’m confused so I ask her to break it down for me. She gets confused herself because there is no way she can explain it that is making any sense to either of us. She even confirms seeing the $120 credit, as well as the 2 charges, and my payment on August 10, 2018 for the $42.34. She speaks to a manager who (from what she said) tells her to credit the account for the $38.34 and my next bill will be correct and all in one invoice ($81). Good? Nope. There is no credit on my account and it still shows a past due balance of $38.34.
I would chalk this up to “give it time”, but the other credit was immediate. So, I have a feeling I’ll be on the call AGAIN with customer service. Long story short: Just DONT do it! Stay away from the crooked business practices, corrupt billing, and atrocious customer service. Life is too short, time is too valuable, and honestly, the extra $10-20/mo to NOT have to deal with constant monitoring of billing and customer service calls are totally worth it. Just pay the extra $10-20 to Spectrum and go on with your life. This is torture!

My requests to talk to a supervisor have been refused and when I have asked for the ticket number they are using for this complaint I have been told they do not use ticket numbers but track calls to the phone number attached to the account.

When I called AT&T customer service to inquire about my bill, the representation denied seeing anything $5 off my bill for enrolling in Auto Pay and said they did not have any kind of promotion like that.

What I don't understand is why AT&T is still in business in a capitalistic and democratic society. Isn't capitalism based on how well a company meets the needs of its customers? Isn't a democracy about fairness and equality? Perhaps this says something about where we are at in our social and political position of the 21st century and the lack of true capitalism and democracy. Putting all this aside my 3 month ordeal with AT&T was an absolute shameful nightmare and it started with one of those "too good to be true" propaganda campaigns. How could I have been so duped? AT&T is an American company is it not? An American company wouldn't rip you off, would they? That is what other countries do right? Well, think again.
Who sent an advertisement in the mail that said we could get AT&T wireless internet for $30 a month? Who sent out a technician that said there are no AT&T lines in our area AFTER we purchased iPhones from AT&T at 50% with the monthly installment plans and planned on having both internet and wireless phone service that would give us "better coverage" for a "better price" than our current separate providers according to the sales representative? Who refused to let us out of our phone contract once it was evident that there was no AT&T service available in our area AFTER the 14 day cancellation period was over? Who then sent us a bill 3 months in a row for the full price of the phones instead of 50% off?
Who never told us that if we paid our phones off early to get AT&T out of our lives, that we would have to pay the full price for the phones? The answer to all these questions is reciprocal and those are only the highlights of this living nightmare. These are only half of the problems we faced with AT&T. Thank God, we paid our phones off IN FULL just to get out of this living nightmare, and went back to the company we were with for the past 10 years before the nightmare began where we were always provided impeccable service. My lesson? If the deal is too good to be true, then it is. Welcome to the new America: Land of the... And home of the... (Feel free to fill in the blanks)!!

Just got another Uverse rate increase. Despite the Trump corporate tax cuts AT&T continues to gouge little customers; greed, greed, greed at its finest. I guess the rate increase is needed to support AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson's 28 MILLION DOLLAR salary and the rest of the excessively compensated senior executives. Screw the customer every chance you get guys and get your GREED on. I wish I had an alternative service provider but I live in a rural area, otherwise I would switch in a heartbeat.

We have used AT&T U-verse for several years. After a power outage, they sent a tech out to fix our TV, Wi-Fi and phone. Before he left, he failed to reconnect our PC and iPad to the printer, so we can't print now. It worked fine before they gave us a new Wi-Fi name and password, but now our printer will not work. They will NOT come back to fix this problem. When I called AT&T customer service, they were not helpful at all. Now I have to pay someone to come out and fix the problem they caused. I don't think this is very good customer service. By the way, if you have a landline with AT&T, it is NOT a true landline anymore. When your Wi-Fi goes out, so does your so-called landline.

I was approached in my home by an AT&T sales person on July 4th. In his pitch I was told that their internet is much faster than Spectrum and I would pretty much never have to deal with buffering, timed out loss of info, and being disconnected. HA! This internet is SLOW SLOW SLOW, and buffers at least 2 times an hour when streaming shows. I was told that if I signed up that day the installation fee would be waived. I learned that wasn't true when I saw a withdrawal on my bank statement for $140. I was told that if I signed up for autopay, I would receive a $5 a month discount. Um, not true. Then for another discount, if I signed up for paperless billing I could get another $5 per month in savings.
When I called AT&T to ask about this, the billing representative said to me that I was giving him incorrect information when I described what had happened with the salesperson. That confused me and I thought he must have misunderstood me, so I repeated myself again only to have him say to me that what I had just told him did not happen. Um, excuse me, but was I just accused of lying in an indirect manner? I went around with him a couple of times until I became fed up and asked to speak to his supervisor. I waited on hold for over 7 minutes then I hung up and called back. This call lead me to a much friendlier agent who validated my agitation with AT&T, apologized, and said he unfortunately couldn't do anything to help but maybe the loyalty department could.
So again on hold, at least this time for only 3 minutes. When the woman came on the line she was rude straight out from hello and proceeded to tell me that my $99 would not be refunded, they would do nothing to make any amends, and oh, BTW, the autopay and paperless discounts apply only to people who subscribe to a bundle package of services. This business has absolutely atrocious communications among the various departments, dishonest business practices, and horrible customer service. They are thieves and they just don't seem to care. How are they managing to stay in business? The only thing I can figure out is they go into market areas where they have little to no competition. I am a case in point. It's them or Spectrum (which is double the price).
I'll most likely go back to Spectrum if the quality of the internet doesn't improve. Spectrum does have good customer service which sometimes is worth so much more than the price I pay them for my internet. It's basically reliable (oh yeah, AT&T internet was out for 24 hours within the 1st month of using them!!) and the customer service reps do try to work with me when I've had an issue. One this is for sure though... AT&T will eventually be out the door.

I am surprised that AT&T is still in business after I experienced the INCOMPETENT customer service and UNETHICAL billing practices. It's been taking me over a month just to get the TV boxes (that come with the U-Verse plan). Each time I called, the rep (who is stationed OVERSEAS) did not understand me and transferred me to someone else (also OVERSEAS) who did not comprehend the problem. It is beyond me how something so simple can be this frustrating. And I won't even start in with their (almost illegal) billing practices. If there would be another cable company in the area I would switch immediately. My blood pressure rises every time I have to dial AT&T's number.

A AT&T/DirecTV salesman had been to my home three times trying to sell the package deal, internet and TV. The last time he came he said, "I can give you the same service you have now half the price you're paying now plus a $300.00 Visa gift card." I said ok and had my EBP disconnected. What a mistake! The Visa gift card was only $200.00 and the internet was like dial up and every time it rained or the wind blew, the satellite would lose the signal. Finally I had to do something so I called to have the service disconected. I was on the phone and switched back and forth. Finally, a man told me that since the bill was paid through July 25, 18 that I would only owe $360.00 for early disconnect and I said ok. The man then offered new deals and three months free to watch TV on internet and I said absolute no that I'm going back to reliable EPB. So he said that I would receive an email within 24 hours after disconnect telling me how to return the equipment.
The service was disconnected after midnight on the 25th of July and EPB installed my wonderful service on July 26, 18. I never have received an email telling me how to send equipment back so I called DirecTV, then had to call AT&T and was back and forth again. They couldn't even find my account. I have changed my new phone no. 4 times with them, yet they still didn't have the right phone no.
Finally, I was told that the service was still on and I said NO it was turned off just after midnight on Wed. July 25th. Then I had to talk to a lady who was in a hurry and she said, "Just take the equipment to UPS OR FedEx and they will box it up and send it back," and I said, "Please give me an account #,"and she said she didn't have access to account numbers, "Just take the equipment and use the account number on your bill." So then I asked if she would send me an email with instructions, she said no. I still don't know any more than I did. Please be careful when dealing with these companies. I will never be taken in again by these companies.

Anyone who is thinking about using or leaving AT&T Uverse beware! My parents had Uverse for years. They periodically would jack rates up, usually you play the game & they suddenly agree to lower it back to what it was so you don’t leave. Well they didn’t first time around, then after they switched they of course said we could have matched that. Whatever too late. So next month we get 2 invoices one from ATT & one from DirecTV, which are technically the same company. We had been paying ATT for both.
Well ATT says they are withdrawing $125 from the account automatically, meanwhile the DirecTV says we have a credit of $110. I call to find out how this can be & to have them combine the bills that should not have been separated in the first place. I get bounced back & forth from ATT & DirecTV 5 times, they wanted to go to a 6th. I was on with them for over 1.5 hours. With everyone saying the next was who could combine them so we only pay the $15 everyone wanted us to pay & then get a refund. May parents are on a fixed income this is BS... Finally I did what I should have in the first place & told them to turn off auto withdraw & when we feel like it or when they learn how to combine the bills the way they had been we’d pay the $15 we actually owe... UNBELIEVABLE!!!

We've attempted multiple times to resolve our dispute with AT&T because we would've liked to be long term loyal customers. On the times they've "claimed" to help us, in fact the truth was the opposite. You (the customer) have no guarantee that whatever is being told to you from the person on the other side, is in fact truthful. A good business will at least honor their word. To AT&T, it appears they have no grasp or even idea of what "holding to your word" means. Even after they say "the request was accepted, your account is being updated..." It should never be the customers fault for being told a lie. This is why I recommend to other potential customers to not fall for their friendliness on the phone. Loyalty is not in AT&T's dictionary. Too bad.

Sales rep are misleading (lie). The notes they enter into their system are not correct. Ask for someone above, response: "They’ll just reroute the calls back to us..." Supervisors provide meaningless "I’m sorry’s". I was told I would have to WRITE a complaint to: AT&T Corporate, 208 S. Akard Dallas TX 75202. HOWEVER, found this number on the internet: 210 821 4105.
Spoke to a “case manager” at corporate (another call center?), I was told a report will go in the young man's file and the phone conversations will be listened to. Misleading customers appears to be a standard practice with AT&T. Case manager stated their method of handling complaints in the same manner has been in place for years. I had to tell her that it is obvious that it does not work. I have given AT&T 3 chances. Cancelled the contracts twice and went with another carrier. Now that AT&T and TWC/Spectrum have merged... I’m hoping ** will get the support they need. There are too many monopolies with “Call Centers” disguised as “Customer Service”.
Updated on 07/26/2018: If you are receiving misleading info from AT&T sales rep please consider contacting the FTC 877 FTC help, your State ATTY General's office, Better Business Bureau and possibly a local TV news station. It is possible that these organizations can start investigating what appears to be fraudulent practices of ATT unversed etc. if they receive enough complaints. Navigating ATT call centers is the equivalent to an abyss.

I called because I received a call from an ATT installer in spite of telling the case manager that I did not request service.

Literally the worst technicians and customer service I have ever experienced. We have been told multiple times, over the last month, someone was coming out to get our internet and tv setup and still nothing! Every time a technician comes out they say some other technician has to fix the box outside before they can get it set up, which never gets fixed. This morning they were supposed to be at the house between 9 - 11 am. Someone called and said that a technician is checking to make sure the box outside was fixed and no one ever showed up. We call and they say it’s not worth their time or money to fix the box. This is ridiculous!! A customer is not worth their time or money??

I am writing this review to let people know what I get from ATT. First I was forced by ATT to switch from regular DSL to their new Uverse system. I had no choice. There is no cable company here at all. First thing is my telephone is now through the internet and not analog anymore. I have had this phone number for over 40 years. It always worked. When the power goes out so does the phone. Even if the power never goes out it quits all the time. Every time the Uverse quits so does my phone and it quits all the time maybe 10 to 20 times a day every day no exception. I have called them hundreds of times and they sometimes send out a tech but it never gets fixed. The norm here is no phone, no internet for several hours every day. I signed up for the fastest plan. They offered elite I think they called it. Well I can think of some names to call it but elite is not one of them.
My brother lives next door and he has the same thing. His goes out just like mine. But they still charge the full price just like if it was working. Plus I have to watch the bill closely for extra charges that appear all the time. I wondered if it was worth all this hassle. I even set up my cell phone as a hotspot and disconnected my Uverse and guess what? I did not even see a reduction in speed. I got the internet just as good as the Uverse thing over my TracFone with only 3g. That seems weird to me. Uverse here can't even beat cell phone speeds.
I have been using ATT for a very long time 40 years the same phone number. My email is still blah blah blah @pacbell.net. PacBell ain't been around for a long time. Uverse is the worst internet phone system you can get in my experience. If there was any alternative I would be gone so fast they would never even get a look at my butt going out the door. All I am doing is waiting for any company to come along and let me sign up with them. As soon as that happens it's tah tah ATT.

Recently, at least two staff members working for AT&T told me that I could get a 30 day free trial on U-verse TV and they said that I could enjoy more than 300 channels. Thus, I called them again to install the AT&T U-verse TV Receiver Box. The installing staff had to come three whole times to get the service successfully installed. Sadly, there weren't as many channels as they promised there would be and I didn't find much interest in most of the channels. Only about three channels were worth watching. I decided to cancel my free trial on the 23rd day of the 30 day free trial and returned the AT&T U-verse TV Receiver Box via UPS. Surprisingly, they charged me $130 in addition to my regular $43 internet service.
I called the customer service twice (the holding time took 20 minutes each to connect to live agents) and they told me their system charged me automatically as a regular TV service. I told the staff to connect to their supervisor (Anthony **, he said he is a manager/agent at Los Angeles, but I verified using google that he is actually just a mere technical consultant) and he told me that they don't have a 30 day free trial. I asked again to be sure but he said the 30 day trial was nonexistent. Then I asked him how he calculated the $130 stolen from my account but he could not answer, telling me that it was the regular monthly charge. I was so unhappy and mad at him because he lied about having a free trial, stealing $130 from my account with no rational explanation, etc. I'm sure that it is not only me to have been treated so unfairly. All of it honestly sucks.
Now, I will sell all of my AT&T shares/stock, and switch my AT&T internet service to another provider (Verizon or Spectrum). Their stock market is tumbling daily unsurprisingly. This is the worst internet service that I have ever experienced compared to many other TV and Internet providers that I have associated with so far. The staff that came to install the AT&T U-verse TV Receiver Box and the technical support on the phone prior to the installment of the AT&T U-verse TV Receiver Box both said that the first month would be a 30 day free trial. They incorrectly charged me a total of $173 after I had canceled the trial before the 30 day limit.
I won't ever come back to AT&T regarding any type of service, everyone there is a huge liar, especially the so-called "AT&T Manager at Los Angeles" (Anthony **)! I hope my review is useful to any families looking to join the AT&T internet service.
