About AT&T Internet

    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.

    Called AT&T for TV & Internet Services and they told me they can give me a special for internet and TV. Internet and 3 receivers for $70, sounded too good to be true. On the day of installation the tech calls me and I ask him to confirm about the services and amount before installation, the tech called me back and told me that it's going to be more than $110+tax+ fees.I go ahead and advise the tech to install the internet only. After 10 minutes a AT&T sales rep pulls up on my driveway, Timothy and he proceeds to explain to me about the billing and TV services of which I asked him about the promotion that they offered to give me and if it was true (Internet and 3 receivers for $70). He said it was true and that's what they had scheduled the installation for.

    I told him that I had talked to the tech and only advised him to install the internet because of the amount he had quoted and said $110+. Timothy talked to the tech and they agreed to reschedule the cable installation and he also assured me that the bill would be $70+tax. The breakdown was $40 internet and $10 x 3 receivers for basic cable +taxes. My bill from July 19 - August 5 is $275, mind you the receivers were installed on August 9. I called AT&T 3 days ago and they said they are looking into the issue when I called back again they hanged up on me.

    Timothy ** the sales rep is nowhere to be found. His cell phone number is not working and his email wont go through. This is the message that pops up "Your message can't be delivered because delivery to this address is restricted". AT$T are stealing and they are not hiding it. As a customer you are of no value to them and word of mouth with AT$T is a waste of time. STAY AWAY from AT&T. Let it be last company you will seek services from.

    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. Had to take it to a UPS store to ship it back after the AT&T store said they don’t take equipment back. Just don’t lie to your customers, it’s not good for business.

    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.

    I had installed the AT&T gigabyte internet service. Once the service is up, the speed is excellent. However, I would say that AT&T has the worst service of all the companies I have dealt with in my life. It is just a mess. Every time I need to call in for a service, I was being transferred from one department to another and nobody is able to have the job done. It is just absolutely a mess!

    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.

    I just recently bundled with AT&T for an internet plan. The representative asked me if he can pull my credit, and I said, "No." They pulled my credit anyway! Two months later I called to move my services to my new address and this time they didn't even ask if they can pull my credit, and they still did! Both times AT&T did an unauthorized hard inquiry. I have spent literally hours on the phone with different managers and departments but no one will help me. I have disputed them both with Equifax but they say AT&T has to send them a request for removal.

I even asked them to slow down and they still read it fast just so you can agree to some **. I wouldn't recommend this service to anyone just for cable. My bill is always over a hundred dollar. I can't wait for this agreement to be over. I've called plenty of times to get my bill lowered and they said they had no discounts but then all of a sudden it was a 40 dollar discount to loyal customers that has been there for over a year.

    Have multiple accounts separate address for service between DirecTV and AT&T. The services are crossed with one another. When calling DirecTV no one speak English and on that side of the bill it will show bill paid. Have different account numbers, but they all show same address billed with different account numbers. Once they figured out their own mistakes after months then it's the customer fault. No one take notes, transferred from person to person. No one takes responsibility. The service dsc for 2 days then end up charging 4 months. I didn't want that on my credit, had the service for 9 years phones, different home locations after being a loyal customers you would have thought some type arrangement would be made. They took $400.00 plus dollar payment, didn't tell me re-enrollment required, cell phone 5 days past due and wanted another $160.00 paid before even thinking about let service continue.

    I will be moving my remaining business with another company. After receiving over $500.00 per month for services every month this the Thanks I get. I have spent hours on the phone.

    I have spent over 7 hours on the same billing issue over the past month and a half, and cannot get my TV/internet bill straightened out. I spoke with AT&T billing dept both on the phone and via chat- they always say the same pre-written phrases such as "I can certainly help with that!" and they rarely can actually help. It has been so frustrating - I wish they had a physical place to go to discuss billing issues so that you felt like they were actually listening to the issues.

    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. I wish they would just do their job, so that I don't have to come home from mine and spend hours speaking with them about the same issue over and over again.

    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.

Come installation day, same texts. Lo and behold, 8pm arrives, no installer. He had a date and left for the day. I was told that I could accept the following Tuesday. I was fuming, and to find out the price quoted for the bundle was wrong as well. I do now have the service, 3 days later and the bill arrives and it is due in 10 days.

    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!

    On May 8 2017 I was to have AT&T Fiber Internet installed at my home along with DirecTV. The AT&T installer came to my residence and informed me that it was impossible to connect Fiber to my home since they had no Fiber in the area and the standard connection was so poor that internet would not be usable. He apologized to me and told me that the AT&T sales department constantly sold services in our area that could not be installed and he had no control over it. He kindly canceled the install and service and canceled the DirecTV install.

    Now 3 months later I have been on the phone for over 90 minutes with AT&T over a $45 bill they sent me. I have been transferred 8 different times and each time I have had to retell my story and have been told they cannot find an account billing for me. I have finally been told that the $45 fee is for combining the AT&T and DirecTV accounts I never received and they cannot figure out how to cancel the bill. 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. The problem is they have no telephone number associated with me because I do not have an account. I am still on hold after 106 minutes with no resolution in sight.

    I've been a Uverse Internet Customer for 3 years. We just moved into our new home and before we did I contacted AT&T about moving our internet service. I was then told that the area wasn't serviceable. I questioned neighbor who to my surprise had the service themselves. After 13 different calls and different stories, I got nowhere. Finally went with another provider just so I'd have some service as we moved only to find out I was seeing about 4 AT&T wi-fi names listed with strong signal. I immediately called them and this time was told the area was serviceable but the cabinet was full. I was told a Tech would need to come out and check the accuracy of this and then get me in.

    Well, another 2 calls today and now they backpedaled on that conversation. I waited a hour for Supervisor to call me and basically say, “Oh yeah service is available but there is no space for you.” The last people when they left their service spot was taken in the area. I asked by whom knowing we were the only family who has recently moved into the area and he couldn't answer. He told me to go to the nearest store and ask to have a Tech dispatched of which they had no power to do so. AT&T should be broken up for the crooks and liars they are.

    On July 9th, 2018 I spoke with a female representative from AT&T regarding their wireless internet plans. She stated that for 12 MB it would be $50 per month but included the fact that if I signed up for Auto Pay, I would receive $5 off my monthly bill, bringing my total monthly bill to $45 per month. I agreed and signed up for Auto Pay that day and gave my American Express account to be billed.

    I recently received my bill for this month and it does not show the $5 decrease on it. 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. It is evident that the AT&T saleswoman I first spoke to on July 9th falsely stated the amount I would be billed for the wireless internet in order to make the sale. These people took so much time out of my life, trying to fight with them on the phone in order to be ensured I was charged the correct amount on my bill. Overall, I am very dissatisfied with AT&T and find them to be disloyal.

    My neighbor two doors up the street added Uverse on Friday. I believe the contractor somehow disconnected my service. No internet, no television, basically revisiting the 70’s. Things happen, I get it. The problem comes when customer service says, "No one came. Review issue until Tuesday. It’s not the end of the world." Very poor response time to your customers. All due to a contractor. I run my business out of my home. This will cause me money as well as inconvenience.

    I should have learned my lesson by now and ditched AT&T. I asked AT&T to port my business landline to a new AT&T mobile phone and they cut off my business internet in the process. I’ve spent a couple of hours today on at least a dozen phone calls and been passed from tech support to sales and back several times and it just gets worse every time I call. The last call I requested cancellation of service. Then an hour later I was emailed that a technician would come to my office in 7 days to fix my internet that isn’t broken but was remotely disconnected. Geniuses. Good riddance. Why there hasn’t been a class action suit for their disastrous “business” practices is beyond me.

    I recently, March 2018, bought a house. Having been born and lived in Inner City Atlanta, I decided that the city's expenses were "more" than their worth. To keep on point, Xfinity. Their service was GREAT!!!! But, the price was WAYYYY too much! So, I paid them and patiently waited for Google Fiber!!! Had to give up my rental house and decided to settle down and just BUY MY OWN!!!! Google Fiber was not available and AT&T was the ONLY service available other than Xfinity. So I ordered it.

    SYNOPSIS: AT&T sucks out loud!!! MY TVs freeze every 10 minutes! They said it was my internet router and sent another one. I switched it out but, y'all know!!! Well, I do not even watch that much, just news and Family Feud and maybe a few old shows but AT&T's service SUCKS OUT LOUDDD!!! #DeepSigh... Now I gotta speak with Xfinity, since they do provide here and I can watch MY ATL FALCONS w/o interruptions!!! ***I thought AT&T would be doing better than they are. THIS COMPANY IS OLD AS DIRT!!!

    First off I don’t understand why AT&T get to treat people like they have lots of money. When I spoke to a customer service rep and they tell you one thing and I got name a conformation email about my bill. I call for my bill. When they tell you one thing and get your bill it be double that. And I don’t understand when they call. They say it’s been recorded but why they don’t see the notes that the person you spoke with on there and if they made any changes but I see it but they want to charge you for some that the other rep never said. They are a rip off. Pls someone do some.

    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)!!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

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.

Another person gave me the same number I called and then said I’m pressing wrong prompts. Confident I did not I asked her which prompts to press... She did not know.

    I called because I received a call from an ATT installer in spite of telling the case manager that I did not request service. I attempted to contact the case manager Dani, however the customer reps claimed they never heard of the corporate complaint department, transferred to 3 different states. Again caught in the ATT abyss. 7/25/18. I contacted ATT at the 210 corporate complaint department. I spoke with Dani, obtained employee ID number and provided with case number **.

    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.

    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 **)!

So I decided just to have the Uverse Internet and since then it has been horrible horrible experience because the first one so I had to pay the initial charge for Internet and cable and I was on the phone for over an hour to have them adjusted. Second month they send me the same fee and I had to call again over an hour to have them adjusted again.

    Third month I was charged only for the Uverse Internet but it said on the bill that I went over my limit so I had to call and pay $30 extra to get unlimited service. I did that in June but I was charged the $30 extra for the previous month which I did not have that service. I called back very frustrated trying to cancel the service because the Internet is horrible at my location since I live in an apartment on the fourth floor. Calling AT&T every month for an hour is very inconvenient and sometimes they hung up on my face when I asked them to transfer me to a supervisor. Last time I called the supervisor was very rude and wanted to charge me hundreds of dollars extra for the cancellation fee because I had the one year contract.

    Every month I was receiving a bill on the email that had a different amount to do than the bill that was sent home. When you call customer service and they transfer you to where you should be. They usually transfer you to the wrong department and that department transfer you to billing which takes about 30 minutes to talk to someone there and if you ask for a supervisor they either answer your questions or pick up the phone and hang up after at least an hour of waiting on the line???

We contacted AT&T because we've had good luck with their DirecTV doing the same thing, and were told it was indeed possible to dis/reconnect without incurring additional charges. After we bought their device, it turns out that's not the case. Each customer service rep we speak to seems to be operating from a different manual. This is my 3rd call where I've been on hold for over 45 minutes to try to get some answers, and I'm still waiting. 52:43, 52:44, 52.45...

    Updated review: July 26, 2018

    After Posting here and on a few other websites, AT&T finally corrected my account and sent me the 2 WiFi extenders. I received several follow-up calls letting me know where in the process they are and I have even received them in the mail already. It is very sad that I had to waste 6-8 Hours of my life to get what I was promised.

    Am I happy? Yes and No. Yes - The service/offer I was offered has been taken care of. No - 8 hours of my life gone. No - Could have all been avoided if the initial salesperson did not lie to me. He said "that offer is over." The correct answer is "That is an online offer." No - Could have all been avoided if I was able to cancel initially. No - On multiple calls I was assured that the extenders have been sent out. Wait 2 weeks. Nothing arrives in the mail. No - On some calls the rep told me I did not qualify for the offer because of my date of service (this has never been the actual case). No - Multiple calls they would transfer me to the rewards center to get me off the phone and to move onto the next person. The rewards center has no access to my actual account.

    Original Review: July 18, 2018

    I have called in over 10 times to different departments (customer care and ATT rewards) and just get the runaround. Not only that I have been flat out lied to. My story is below. This company does not honor their word. I ordered cable and internet via phone. I saw the $300 VISA rebate and 2 free wifi extenders as offers for signing up for new service. While on the phone I asked about these offers and the sales rep told me that they are over! He was able to get me $100 VISA gift card though.

    Later that evening I went online just to check and the offers were still available if I ordered online. I immediately called to cancel so I could reorder online. AT&T customer care would not let me cancel and instead updated my profile so I would receive these promotions. This call lasted about 45 min as I kept trying to cancel. The last step was to route me to an actual American who again thanked me for my loyalty and he promised he has everything taken care of NOT to worry. He said, "It's all in the notes and everything is taken care of. You will get $300 in gift cards and the 2 WiFi extenders."

    It has taken 10 plus phone calls to get the 2 additional $100 VISA gift cards and I still do not have the promised WIFI extenders. AT&T customer service has blatantly lied to me on several calls. Lies include. "You will receive an email on X date. Respond to it to get the 2 WIFI extenders mailed to you." Email never came. "Again we were wrong. It will take 2 weeks for that email to be sent out. We promise on X date you will get it." Email never came. Next call the person told me she bypassed the system and is having the 2 extenders sent directly to me. 2 weeks later No Extenders. Call in. "Sorry it doesn't look like they were mailed out to you. But sir you were not offered that offer. Your date of service is not in the range of that offer." WHAT? Then why do I have proof? Why is it in my notes, and even better question why have I wasted hours of my life calling in!?

    I have proof that my date of service was 5/31. I have proof from online that I printed when I tried to cancel by phone and order online that I was offered this offer. I also have an internal email from the ATT rep (ATT corporate to the rep) who did my install stating that he couldn't leave me the 2 routers or he would be billed for them personally, for this promo they will be mailed out. I have wasted so much time on this and it is a matter of a big company walking all over customers at this point. I am filing with the state attorney, FCC, and blasting on social media with my string of proof that they have lied to me on numerous occasions.

    AT&T Uverse operates extremely immoral, unethical, and in some cases illegal business practices which in turn leads you to having to contact their customer support very often and their support is terrible. The cable/internet itself is reasonably priced and OK but definitely not worth the hassle of dealing with their sketchy business practices. Every time I speak with them, regardless of the reason, they quote me a price or confirm a fix and 9 out of 10 times, they lied or do the wrong thing, and I need a follow up call. At one point they signed me up for DIRECTV NOW without telling me (illegal) which charged me extra. Those charges continued for 3 months, despite me calling each month, but they continued to lie and say the charge was for something else or that it would be credited back and it was taken care of. I had to call DIRECTV NOW to cancel something I never ordered (their customer service was great, fyi).

    AT&T UVERSE signed me up for a contract without telling me (illegal) which is of course non-binding since they never got my approval ahead of time and did not provide me a copy of it. In fact, when speaking to customer service on the phone, they absolute REFUSE to provide you anything in writing. Because of their terrible business practices, when I tried canceling, I asked for them to send an e-mail that confirms I’m canceling and the last day of service. They could “assure me” everything was set up correctly but each person stated they sent me an e-mail but I never once got an e-mail.

    It took me 3 hours of being transferred up the chain to multiple managers before one person finally told me the truth that due to “company security settings” they are not allowed to send customers e-mails which is so sketchy. When they tried to say I was under contract, I asked them to send a copy of the contract to me. They refused and therefore released me from the “contract”, because I never agreed to one. I switched to Comcast and have had a perfect experience so far.

    My wife and I run a business in Pensacola Florida. We use AT&T for our business internet and phone service. Everything was fantastic, so we decided to switch our personal TV and Internet to AT&T. We went to our local store and set up installation for the 12th of July between 2-4pm. No one showed up so at 4:30pm we called customer service to see what was going on. The lady we spoke to said the gentleman that was supposed to set it up was running late. No one contacted us in any way to let us know they were running behind, and we had to reschedule to another day as I had an appointment at 5pm. The lady was very apologetic and assured us that someone would be there to set it up today the 14th of July between 1-3pm.

    We had to shuffle our schedule around to accommodate this, but we were willing to do it. Today, I arrived back home 12pm to make sure that I was here to accommodate their mess up. I waited until 4pm and no one showed up yet again. I called customer service again and they told me that they have us set up for the 19th. This is not at all what we were told or guaranteed. At this point, I have rescheduled over $1500 of my business to wait at my house for no one to show up. We have canceled our personal internet and TV installation, and as soon as they open Monday, I will be canceling their phone and internet services for my business. I have never been treated in such an unprofessional manner by a company. If you want to be treated like you matter, find another company.

    Earlier in the week I had called to cancel the home phone portion of my bill. The customer service person advised I could save additional money by changing my internet to fiber. He explained the install would be free and it would reduce my bill by $5 per month but a tech would need to come to the house and someone would need to be home. I agreed, and we set the appointment for yesterday. The tech did arrive a few minutes late but had called to let us know he was running late. Him & another tech did the install of fiber, checked to make sure everything was working. He even called me later to make sure I did not have any additional questions.

    So far so good right? Unfortunately, when I went to set our alarm system that night I found it not working. This morning I called AT&T to have someone come out & see what the tech accidentally disconnected. I was transferred through 5 departments & on hold for over 2 hours before I finally spoke with a supervisor. When I did finally get to the correct department, Mel the tech support rep told me the soonest a tech could come out would be on Monday, but she would try to expedite the ticket & would let me know something within an hour. I told her that was unacceptable & requested to speak with a supervisor. She put me on hold twice for about 2-5 min each time and came back telling me a supervisor was unavailable. I told her I would hold but she needed to start the ticket while I was waiting. She put me on hold again and after about 1-2 min a supervisor came on the line.

    Kim (supervisor) told me first that he would work to solve the problem but could not promise anything because other departments were involved & he did not control the other departments. After checking with the other department, he informed me the best they could do was have someone out on Monday. I don’t remember the exact order of each argument, but he went on to tell me they were not responsible for damage caused by their technician. Then he said we could file a claim with their liability department (risk), but they could not touch the other system even if they had done the damage. I countered each of his arguments by explaining that I know companies are responsible if their people cause damage, also that we owned the system and it would not be "illegal" for them to touch it. I also explained that the tech should have the equipment to fix the problem since it is an old system and the wiring is old telephone wire!

    After he spent 45 minutes trying every argument he could come up with he said there was nothing he could do & the earliest a tech could come out was on Monday! I told him his solutions were unacceptable and that AT&T once again was proving to do everything to screw over their customers. When I said, "Thank you for nothing," he actually said, "You are welcome!" Once again AT&T has only made surface changes to try to improve everyone's opinion of them. They used to tie with Comcast as the worst customer service company. Now they are dead last all by themselves!

    Comcast has made true changes to their company and now offer a wonderful customer service experience. AT&T still does not train their people to listen and think. I had to repeat my story over 5 times & only 1 of the reps listened to what I had to say & responded appropriately. Unfortunately, she was not in the department I needed to speak with. If you vary from their stupid script, their reps cannot handle it! If their reps cannot think for themselves, what is the point of having live humans answer the phone! A computer could do better!

    Got an Internet Service problem with AT&T? Basically, you're outta luck if you live in a semi-rural area like I do. They MAY fix a problem if it affects a large number of their customers, but if it only affects a small percentage, they'll either ignore it or give you the run-around until you give up. Here's my issue: it's not about HDTV, or gaming, or high-volume data transmission – the problem is that they can't get their email servers to work reliably. I mean, we're talking EMAIL here, which is about as primitive as you can get and still remain in the realm of high tech. My email conks out an average of two days per week because of THEIR server disruptions (They ADMIT this).

    I’m paying them for a high-speed DSL landline, and they can’t even relay my daily email dependably. Some “provider”. If AT&T can't manage email competently, imagine how they'll handle your HDTV or gaming connectivity. I give AT&T credit for one thing, though -- they certainly live up to their company motto: "We DON'T care because we don't HAVE to."

    This review is for ATT's internet service. They charged me close to 100 bucks for installation. I tried canceling a day or two after the service was installed, and then they charged me an additional 10 dollars extra per day. This is even after one of their reps told me that I wouldn't be charged for any usage considering it was only in service for a couple of days. The total amount for the bill was close to 110 bucks which is unheard of from any of the other internet service providers. I would give them ZERO stars if possible for their methods of overcharging people.

When rep came for appointment... you can do fiberoptics, thus he stayed 5 minutes & told me to call back in, explain & reschedule. Did that - 2.5 hours later they couldn't find my order, I couldn't get to right dept, given wrong info, etc. I asked for a manager so I could cancel my order/move/new service. He said, "No you can't." Contract expires 1/24/19. I would have to pay $105. So I was stuck having to continue set up of service. I don't even know if when they come out they will do the job & get it hooked up. Very frustrating.

    BEWARE OF SIGNING UP FOR AT&T! I wish someone had warned me how awful this company is before I signed a contract. 1st month at set up their guys step on a pipe in my attic and cause a water leak. THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO LET ME KNOW. I had to find out later when there was a puddle of water on my garage floor and water damage to my wall and ceiling. They gave me the run around telling me to call all of these different places. I believe I called 5 or 6 before I finally got in touch with the right people. (Mind you these were numbers I was being given by the customer services reps, not just random numbers I was trying.) It took weeks to settle the issue! Then not even a week after, I move my router and the thing won’t work. I use their chat online to let them know it’s not working and I followed their guide online and nothing was fixing it.

    I was told they were going to send someone out free of charge to repair it. My next bill shows a $100 service fee on my account (for fixing the router) so I have to call and have them remove the charge. The chats are supposed to be logged so it should be easy for someone to go back and see that I was wrongfully charged and fix it. Unfortunately, I had to call 4 different times, ask for a supervisor and threaten to switch to a different company if they didn’t fix the issue. Finally after all of the calling and complaining it was fixed. Now fast forward to today, (only my 3rd month being with this company), and I have a late charge on my account because THEY took too long to remove the $100 fee.

    I started calling about the problem the day before my bill was even due because that’s when I pay it. So here we are. I just had to contact another service rep because of their never ending issues. I will say that their customer service is foreign and extremely difficult at times to understand, which probably had something to do with how long my issues were dragged out. Also, I always try to be nice to customer service because it’s not their fault it’s the companies. However, I had multiple people try to attack me and tell me I was wrong and that basically I was stupid for thinking the service call should be free after being told by their chat rep that it would be. So I can’t wait for my contract to be up, and if you’re considering using AT&T - DON'T.

    I went through 3 cycles of renegotiating the bill once the special plans expired. It took hours of my time over weeks and then the next bill would come well over the price agreed on. This is not just taxes and all the extras, it was base priced higher. On my last go around last spring they said this special deal included a tablet, I was on a screen chat where I took a screen shot of their answer that there would be NO charge for this. I never took it out of the box and every month there was a $10.00 charge. I must have called them 10 times and no results even after them saying it would be corrected.

    The last negotiation they said the new deal had to be for new service so they said to take it out of my name and put it in my husband. Sounds simple, yes? No they had to come and replace all the equipment for us to get this special price. Are they nuts? Throughout our time with them we had the pleasure of at least once a week having to reset the boxes (6) which sometimes worked and sometimes not. If you want to feel like you are beating your head against a brick wall and THEN pay $50.00 per month more than agreed, sign up with this nightmare of a company. The only positive about the nightmare was the people I spoke with were very nice and understanding, too bad they couldn't backup their promises with action.

    Before they will send a tech you're on the phone from an hour to an hour and a half. You must call in each and every day and talk to these people every single time to get a credit.

As it turns out, when I had the property assessed, the inspector informed me they didn't patch it to code. They offered me a good deal for AT&T Uverse. Seemed good anyway. I had to call them about 4 or five times because of double billing and charges for services I didn't order. They also promised me 3 months free of HBO and Cinemax. That only took 2 follow up calls. They blamed it on "the system".

    I had problems with the cable box to the internet and called twice - no fix. Got on chat - no fix. (The service people, as it turned out, didn't know about the little recessed reset button). Called a 3rd time and that guy told me about the recessed reset button on the back of the box. Was without phone, internet and TV for 5 days. I had to call them and request a reduction in my monthly charges. Seems like they should have offered me that when I told them I during the third call and I hadn't had service for 5 days. I moved to a new carrier when I moved to a new home, mostly because AT&T service speeds were half in the new place. Cancelled just fine. Or so I thought. I had my land linephone transferred to the new carrier. AT&T didn't approve it and release my phone number of 30 years.

    When I called them about it they put you into a phone answering system with no option to speak to someone. So I tried chat with their customer service. That turned out to be 2 hours long and 5 different people. After 2 hours and explaining the problem 5 times, they put me into a waiting queue that next stated "next agent is available in approximately 10 minutes". I actually explained the problem about 5 times (no joke) to the first customer service representative, but he just couldn't understand it. He kept asking me the same questions over and over. He would then repeat my address back to me after I asked a question. I'd ask "can I get xyz done". He would reply "at 1111 country lane, somewhere, 55555"? Yes. Just like the previous 4 times.

    At 4 pm they are ready for the line repairman but he needs to leave at 4 so he can drive 24 miles and be there at 5 (I thought it was illegal to drive 24 mph on the interstate) but he assures me someone will be back Thursday to finish the job. (No show on Thursday.) But Friday a repairman showed up and fixes the problem and informed me the install guy will be back shortly and the diggers will be back to fill in the 40 inch hole. So I waited until 2 pm to call the total lack of customer service at at&t only to be informed they were rescheduling to July the 10th. Question 1. If they found water in the hole at 39 inches would they have called a scuba diver and I guess I need to quit my job to accommodate at&t and do I need to be standing at the door there next appointment so they don’t need to order a door knocker. The diggers were outstanding. They showed up and did their jobs.

    Truly embarrassed to still have AT&T services and looking at my options. I have had multiple issues with AT&T. The most recent experience occurred during a move and their inability to provide a technician within a 72 hour window, plus I couldn't move the box myself after a salesperson had already told me I could but when they upgraded my service it would cost me $35 for me to do it, which later changed again so I just couldn't move it myself. This was after I was without cable/internet for 10 days earlier in the month.

    Their excuses included lack of technicians, the system doesn't work that way, and “While you live in a large complex our system doesn't allow us the ability to see what appointments are nearby as to accommodate you within a 72 hour period.” The previous technician that came by my place informed me that they are usually in the buildings. Their solution was to credit me $11 for the previous 10 days and I could CALL BACK to get a refund for the additional days and I still needed to take off work.

    On June 24 we signed up with AT&T internet. We spoke with the representative at the store and spent 20 minutes on the phone with the person to set up the installation appointment. We made it clear we need the service to be installed on June 29. (Because of course you have to take off work to be there for them to install within their 4 hour window!) The representative on the phone assured us that it would be no problem! We called to confirm a few nights later everything was fine. Yesterday we get an email stating that the installation was now going to be on July 3! We immediately called...

    If you have ever called AT&T you know you never speak to a live person right away. We followed all the prompts, finally get a live person and get disconnected, not once but several times. We finally spoke with one service representative who asks us all the information about our account, (we were put on hold 2-5 minutes after each question). She then tells us the installation is set for 7/3. We inform her that we have to have the service 6/29. We already took time off work to meet the installer. She places on hold again... 2-5minutes. Returns, "I'm sorry we cannot change the install." I ask to speak to a manager... to no avail.

    Finally I hang up and we call back again... Same story... on hold... etc. We call back another time... we are told that the managers were too busy to talk to us. We called back another time finally talk to someone who seems to know something... find out that now the service cannot be installed until 7/5!. I checked my emails. I have 6 more emails from AT&T! Now they say my service installation has been cancelled! By who? Not me...

    The representative said it appears that this is coming from corporate... they dont know why this is happening. I was placed on hold several more times and transferred to yet another customer service representative and was told again they are not sure what is happening. Now they cannot install service until July 5... I asked to speak to another supervisor about this and was told that they would pass on my information and someone would call me back in an hour and a half... At this point we have spent our whole evening 3 hours calling being disconnected, being placed on hold 2-5 minutes... 5 minutes... continuously.

    Finally at 9:30 last night we get a phone call telling us, "Sorry there is nothing we can do." They cant install service until July 5... I'm not sure about everyone else but my boss would not tolerate this kind of incompetence... We have to take off work to meet these people. I personally do not appreciate having to use my Paid time off to accommodate a company that cannot provide a service that I was previously told would be installed on 6/29. Their customer phone service is absolutely horrible. Plan to spend at least half an hour or longer on the phone with them every time you call them...

    Plan on getting different answers for the same question each time you speak with a different customer service representative... Plan on no one being able to resolve your situation... and this is all happening prior to an install. Think of the fun we will have once establishing service... I cant wait to spend even more time on the phone in the future. Extremely horrible customer service, does not keep promises, gives you the runaround when you call, places you on hold continuously spent hours on the phone and still no resolution. If I could give a negative review I would.

    I've had Uverse internet service for about 3 years (48mbps service plan). During this time, the internet speeds fluctuated from a microscopic 0.137mbps to 26.3mbps with an average speed of about 3mbps. I called customer service every 2-3 months to try to resolve issues. Any service call requires a 1-2 hour commitment on the phone which discourages customers from calling for repairs. Each time a technician arrived, the internet would work fine for 1-2 days and then back to same old problem.

    Over the past 4 weeks, the internet connectivity would completely fail for 2-3 minutes every 10-15 minutes. My job requires me to work from home, so quality internet service is paramount. I called for a service tech who arrived 10 days later and made a settings tweak that temporarily fixed the problem long enough for the technician to pack his tools and leave. The problem re-appeared a few minutes after the technician departed, so I had to spend another 1-2 hours on the phone with AT&T to schedule another tech.

    When I was told the tech would arrive in another 2 weeks, I inquired about any contractual obligations I had to AT&T. I was told that all service contracts had been fulfilled and there would be no cancellation charges. As soon as I connected service with another ISP with consistent 100mbps speeds at 1/3 the price of AT&T, I called to cancel AT&T. They asked why, so I explained the service was too erratic, after at least 6 service call-outs it still did not work properly, and I didn't appreciate paying for a service that did not perform to the standards of the contract. Effectively, AT&T was in breach of contract. As a parting gift, AT&T billed me a $45 cancellation fee that served as a guarantee that I will never be their customer ever again. Why would anyone want to do business with this company?

    On 2-27-18 a young couple, Deion and Amanda who had recently relocated from the South came to pitch me on switching to AT&T for internet and phone as I already had DirecTV. I was offered a $100 Visa card to switch, and his personal guarantee that he would be my personal rep to make up for the bad reputation they had for customer service. I have never received the Visa. After a minimum of speaking to over 10 people and hours on the phone, I contacted Deion and Amanda. After a serious conversation with Deion after lying about taking care of me, and I told him I never received my Visa, they both refused to answer my calls or get me help.

    Deion had suggested during our first encounter that I call the loyalty dept for DirecTV to see if they would offer me a new customer discount since I bundled all 3. I called prior to my 1st bill and not only was the 69.99 discount not applied, my bills was $584.45! They tried to bill me for equipment I never received, hook up fees that were waived, no discount applied to DirecTV and the list goes on. 2nd bill after spending countless hours talking to people (which by the way, are outsourced to Malaysia, so not only do they not support our people here, they are saving a ton of money by outsourcing), I was billed 475.39! Again, none of the discounts were applied... countless more hours on the phone, etc.

    On 4-20-18, I spoke to Shanika and was told my discount I should have received on the 1st bill, would be applied on 4-20.18. Ten reps later, I was given a $100 credit for the Visa I never received and I fought to get a credit for the over charge on DirecTV. At that time, I was granted an additional $10 off my DirecTV bill for dealing with all the trouble, their lack of customer service and qualified employees to solve issues. Got my new bill today, my DirecTV is now $97.52 so I called again. I am actually on hold now and have been on the phone, mostly on hold for 1 hour and still no one has come to help from the loyalty dept.

    I was warned about customer service before I switched, but I trusted Deion when he said they had made big changes... BS! I have been in customer service for 50 years and I have to say, they have the WORST customer service I have ever experienced. I will be breaking my contract just to deal with a reputable company, I just want my bill corrected! Stephanie from the loyalty dept in Arizona has now escalated my issue for the back office and I have to wait 7-10 days to get a response! She saw all the notes of the discounts I was given, including the DirecTV going down to $59.99 but couldn't get any immediate help, even thought it is right there in the notes!

AT&T makes it simple and easy to sign up but you will receive endless bills in the mail even after canceling. Each representative gave me a different answer and my bill continues to increase even after canceling 6 months ago.

    I finally had enough, and canceled to move to Dish network. When canceling, they told me they wanted my hardware back and I needed to waste over an hour of time taking it to the UPS store. I asked them to come and get it as it was not worth my time. They then threatened me with over $600 of charges and said that should make it worth my time. What a horrible way to treat your customers.

    Once 1:30pm rolled around I called and the automated service confirmed my pickup time. I then asked for an operator. The operator informed me that they made a mistake on the back-end and moved the order to the 25th. When I asked them to fix it they informed me they could only move it up to the 19th. Despite talking to multiple people, nothing was changed.

    This is absolutely unacceptable. I am now without services for multiple work days and the weekend with no resolution. Nothing was offered to rectify the situation and I was told over and over again there is nothing to do. I know for a fact this is not true.

I am anxiously looking forward to ending my relationship with AT&T and choosing any other provider on a coin flip.

    AT&T provides probably the slowest and most unreliable internet I have ever used. I used them for a year and was paying $55/month for 55 Mbps. I never even got close to 55 Mbps. I usually was at a download speed of 10-13 Mbps. After that year, they actually wanted to charge me more for their terrible service. I immediately cancelled AT&T for Mediacom (Spectrum).

    I needed fast WiFi as I do not have cable or satellite TV, so all of my television was coming from streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. It was very rare for me to get HD on whatever I was watching. I also do a lot of gaming. I had my PlayStation 4 and gaming PC hooked up by ethernet so I could make sure I was getting an uninterrupted connection. Yes, that gave me faster speeds, but it was only around 2-5 Mbps faster. I lagged out of so many games and I couldn't even connect to games more times than I could count.

    Spectrum provides 400 Mbps download speeds for a small amount higher than AT&T. AT&T charges so much money and the highest speed and can purchase is 55 Mbps. With Spectrum, I now average 380 Mbps download speeds. AT&T is a joke as an internet provider. If you are truly wanting good internet, my suggestion is Spectrum. If you don't want them, go with literally ANYONE else. Just never use AT&T.

    I can't stand writing a bad review but this is just too much. When I called to order Uverse, I had a great experience with the sales guy. He was very nice and explained things very well. I asked about specific channels and was told that they would be included in my service. I was also promised all of the premium movie channels for 90 days for free as a promotion, thereafter needing to pay for them. No worries, right? Easy to cancel if needed.

    The day of the installation came and went very well. Our house was prewired for AT&T, which made installation a breeze. I have no complaints about Internet or the quality of the TV signal... so far. My complaint centers solely around the quality of AT&T's sales and customer support, which are bismal. 1. I did not receive the specific channel I confirmed would be included several times with the original sales guy. 2. None of the premium movie channels were included. So, after installation (on a Saturday), I called to find out what happened with my order. I called the AT&T Uverse customer support # and after being transferred about 3-4 times, the last person I was talking to then told me that I had to call the sales team and that they were not open on the weekend. Um, okay. That's a new one.

    I then called today (Monday) and after being on the phone with someone (not too bright) for 30 minutes, she disconnected the call. Note, I had not grown impatient and was not upset in any way, was very cordial and just wanted to know how these issues could be resolved. So, I called them right back and spent an hour on the phone with them. In short, they had to add the channel that I specifically asked for (charging me, of course) and then they told me that after an order is installed, they cannot add a promotion unless it's a new order.

    Wait, what? This is a new order and I was not given what they told me I would be given, and their reason is that my new order (two days old) is no longer a new order? Huh? So, now they're checking to see what happened and that they would have an answer for me, not a resolution but only an answer, in up to 72 hours. Wow. Just wow. Needless to say, I am not impressed. Just deliver on what was promised, AT&T. Is that too much to ask for?

I difference astounded me and I inquired as to the reasons for the drastic change and it was at that time that they informed me of the pro-rated charges that were added. I informed them that it was not possible to pay that amount at one time and a so called payment arrangement was made.

    However three months into this arrangement They suspended my services despite the fact that I was upholding my end of the agreement. Upon reestablishing my service and another agreement was made that I would pay a certain amount over my original bill until such time as I was caught up and since they supposedly record conversations, so did I. The agreement was honored for three months and then they again suspended my service. The carrier is notorious for reigning and not upholding agreements and since they think they have a monopoly in phone services think they can do whatever they wish. Something definitely needs to be done to force them to live up to their agreements and not change terms at their discretion blaming it on their automated system.

    I have since changed phone/internet/ mobile providers but I think the public should be made aware that this company is totally unreliable and outright liars. In addition, I am pursuing this matter legally because they have clearly breached all forms of contractual/verbal agreements and think they are immune to any sort of recourse. Therefore, I strongly advise you that when dealing with Uverse that you ask detailed questions so that you will not be lied to as I was.

    I cancelled my Uverse account in October 2017. I continued to get a bill from them for the service and my husband didn't realize it was cancelled so he continued to pay it every month as a good consumer. After realizing we did not have the service I contacted them. I was given the runaround for days speaking to various representatives. Finally 2 months after my initial contact they determined that they owed me $755 for charges I paid but didn't receive the service. My only charge now was for the internet which is $30 per month. I asked for a refund of the amount sent to me since that is an extremely large credit that I'm owed and would take years to credit to my account at $30 per month.

    I was advised that they don't send refunds and I would have to use my credit. When I told them I just want to cancel the internet service altogether and get a credit they told me that the credit would remain on my account. The money sent them is not owed to them and should be refunded to me. I'm appalled that they would refuse to refund my money and basically obligating me to stay with them for 2 years to use up the credit. That is my money and not theirs. I am a good consumer and always pay my bills on time. The continued billing for the service I didn't receive is their error and should be corrected and refunded.

    We chose to use ATT in conjunction with DirecTV (satellite). One person tells me they are the same company when we signed up and got one paper bill with a breakdown of payments to both companies and payments and charges as if one company but if we complained about something (MANY) suddenly they're separate companies. They never did get one function (can't remember what they called it now) of DirecTV to work which was the only reason I chose DirecTV rather than U-verse. I'm not paying for a faulty product.

    This is the absolute worst service provider I’ve ever had to deal with. My issues started 2 years ago when I tried to get a bundled service of tv and internet with Directv and AT&T. I called in and was quoted a price that to be honest sounded too good to be true. I asked the representative multiple times if the deal was true; of course he said yes then it all went downhill from there. I was told that I had to pay 2-3 billing cycles of regular prices for my services until it can be bundled to receive my deal. I agreed and got my services started. It’s been 2 years and I have never received my quoted prices which was suppose to be noted on my account but of course no representative can find that note on my account.

    Every month after my 2-3 billing cycles I’ve called trying to get my services bundled but there’s always an issue on why it can’t get bundled at this time and I continue to have to pay full price for my services because I’m in a contract. Every time I call to speak to a supervisor its a 20-30 minute wait and then they hang up. I’ve literally had to call 2-3 times before I get to speak with a supervisor every month and phone calls are usually about an hour long.

    Every time I call they said the issue will be fixed and everything will be okay until the next month and I see my bill then it’s another excuse or they don’t know what’s going on or there’s nothing they can do about it. To end a long drawn out story AT&T is the absolute worst company, they will push you around and they are only out to screw the consumers out of money. My friend worked for them after I was already under contract as their sales rep and he said they do try to screw you they are thought to purposely omit things to get a sale.

    I canceled my service at the beginning of March after moving and was told that I would receive instructions to return my equipment. I asked what would I do if I did not receive instructions and got a complete non reply. They then proceeded to charge me 2X my bill for THREE MONTHS when I decided to call to find out what was up. I was informed that I was being charged for my equipment and that the auto pay I had set up took three months to cancel. I’ve been literally paying for nothing for three months. I assume that this goes into an interest bearing account and they are making money off of my money which I did not authorize for them to take. I was not informed it would take any time to cancel. They said I would get my money refunded next month and I could just drop my equipment off at a UPS store if I tell them my account number - which the first guy could easily have shared with me.
