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.

We live outside the city limits and the speeds get very slow. Video streams are constantly buffering. Other than that service is OK. But we would like to see more service providers in this area to have other options.

AT&T installed service incorrectly and LIED about service. VERY unreliable (supposed to be 5, we have documented for 11 mos an average of .5-2). Cannot watch a show at 8 pm. It is so bad. Forget about customer service- RUDE, ignorant, unhelpful, cannot repeat reason for call and cannot recognize or fix problem. HORRIBLE company. Plus side-service technician agrees, tries to help.

I have been with ATT for a number of years and they have been better lately... I tried Comcast and do not like them... AT&T will offer many good discounts if you tell them how you feel. I have Directv now and am very pleased.

We switched from Spectrum back in the fall of last year (after countless prices increases and speed issues) and have been very pleased with the service so far. No complaints or issues.

AT&T is garbage. Just spent 2 hours being bounced around between AT&T and DirecTV trying to fix a simple issue with my Directv programming. Since I’m “privileged” with the newly converted Directv account to the AT&T service, no one knows how to help and where to transfer me to. Finally got to the RC1 technical support department, took them 2 minutes to say they “maybe” fixed the issue after I had will be resolved within the next 24 hours. I requested for a number to direct the RC1 department, but they denied and said to call AT&T customer support and they will transfer over to RC1. I’ve been with Verizon Fios, Dish Network, Cable, etc over the years, but never have I’ve been too upset with a service.

It's difficult to figure out which number to call for specific product or support. Many times I have called and been forwarded to the wrong area numerous times.

AT&T 1st called my home offering me a higher speed 24 Mbps DSL internet service from UVerse more than AT&T's equipment limit to handle that highspeed DSL internet service. But all I got is taxing unreliable service. AT&T hasn’t been very truthful about my DSL internet service, and I had to make several phone calls, internet chats, and tweets to get AT&T to tell me truth about my DSL internet service. After AT&T told me the truth about my service I had before is no longer available in my area, and they offered me a measly 10 Mbps on 1 pair of wires without telling me instead of 24 Mbps 2 pair of wires in which I had before, and AT&T took a step backwards in rendering me DSL internet services.
That service is useless for movies, videos, gaming, social networks, Google maps, and web surfing. But AT&T Uverse has an ultra highspeed internet service on the fiber optic line, but that fiber optic service is not available in my area. So I decide to drop the AT&T DSL internet service immediately, and I went to their rivals that could offer me better internet service that is fast enough for movies, videos, gaming, and web surfing by over 8 time faster than that DSL internet service from AT&T.
AT&T Uverse DSL internet service is the DSL2+ network system, but DSL2+ data speed limit is limited to length of the line, or how many pair of wires that DSL internet are being used. DSL2+ internet service would allow 2 to 32 pairs of wires, but AT&T sets too many limits on their DSL internet service like limiting the number of wire pairs line to 2 wire pairs for the residential areas, and AT&T won’t customize data speed limit for the length of the line that the line would allow, but AT&T only set the limit in their plan of internet services instead of the limit to the line that could allow to carry the reliable DSL internet speed. So AT&T would have to be flexible in their plans in giving their customers DSL internet speed limit by the length of the line, and not by a fixed plan in which that plan is not working on that DSL internet service.
The maximum speed limit distance of line for 24 Mbps DSL2+ internet service is 1 mile, but my line is over 3 miles. AT&T fixed internet speed plan will not work on that 24 Mbps DSL internet service that due to the maximum speed limit distance of line. Those twisted pair of wires would leak the highspeed data signal into other wire pairs in the telephone cable that is called crosstalk that could reduce internet speed, so DSL would go no faster as the data speed increases.
Those AT&T field technician already knew about the maximum distances for 24 Mbps DSL2+ internet service, and they knew it was unreliable, but those technicians have no choice under AT&T company orders to install that unreliable 24 Mbps DSL internet service with that line distance beyond 1 mile in order to make a big profit from that unreliable 24 Mbps DSL service and disappointed customers including me, or else AT&T won’t make money off of customers with 1 mile or less of DSL line.
That DSL services is the thing of the past, and you would get more reliable very highspeed internet service from cable, wireless with unlimited data usage, and fiber optic, and if AT&T would contact you to solicit to offer you a highspeed DSL internet service, beware, don’t try that DSL internet service, because it may not be reliable, but the reliable DSL internet service. DSL is old and slow, and it won’t be able to keep up with the consumer demands today in videos, movies, gaming, social networks, and Google maps. AT&T can’t promise you reliable highspeed data service of 24+ Mbps on that DSL internet service if they would offer it to you, and so beware of their sales scam. So go only fiber optic with AT&T Uverse service if it’s available in your area, or else find another internet service provider that could offer you a higher speed internet service than that DSL internet service.

"Upgraded" my home internet in November, it worked slower than our old internet service that no longer even exists. I've sucked it up because I'm under contract and dealt with paying for internet that works one day, then won't work for the next 3. I called a month ago because their system won't let me pay my bill online, I get the reminder e-mails, click in and it tells me my services are cancelled. I call to get this fixed and the representative was not understanding what I was saying (spoke very little English) and kept telling me I have services with AT&T, "Yes I know I have services. It's my online account that doesn't work!" I asked her if she spoke Spanish, she said yes and we were finally able to communicate (just barely still).
After 10+ calls back and forth she was unable to help me log in still. She then says "maam, do you realize your internet is very slow?" I said, "Yes, no offense to you but AT&T internet is awful!" She says, "Oh I will send a tech out to fix it, no cost to you." Awesome right? The tech comes and "fixes" it and tells us the original installation tech did not complete the installation and he was going to report him. (I paid for installation in November, around $200). Fast forward a month later, our internet is still painfully slow, AND I GOT CHARGED $149 for installation! Again, when 1) THEY told us the internet was not installed properly by the first tech, 2) The tech was not sent out at my request, the representative on the phone sent him out, AND she told me free of charge.
I call today to dispute the charge and the representative today is awesome, but he tells me he spoke with the first rep and she said she never told me it was free so I'd have to submit a case to management to get the $149 charge removed from my bill and they'd have to review a transcript of the call. He also spoke with the tech who said he had to install new phone jacks to get the internet to work, because it wasn't done the first time. Again, how is it my fault, and why am I paying twice for the same installation that they didn't do??? Marcus, the last representative I spoke with was also able to reset my online account within a minute (when the first rep could not after 10+ calls). I can't believe I have to wait 10 days for a manager to review whether or not they'll remove the charge from my account!

Ordered what I thought was high-speed but installer told me that it was not in fact and would be too slow for my needs so I cancelled immediately and ordered Xfinity. Hours of phone calls later, being rerouted all over creation, still getting bills 4 months later and dreading trying to deal with them again. I use AT&T for my cell phone with no issues but this internet situation is truly a nightmare from customer service standpoint.

I have all my service bundled with AT&T and the cost of my WiFi is too high but the other services are more reasonable. I lost my phone and since I had the insurance they replaced my phone practically overnight. The landline service drives me crazy because the built in answering machine takes over my regular machine and changing it online is complicated.

I changed from DSL to Universal services on 12/18/17. I didn’t get service until 02/22/18 because a line had to be dug up behind my fence. I was told that my monthly bill would be no more than sixty-six to sixty-nine dollars a month. We had NO service from December through February. I sent sixty-eight dollars to them on March 15, 2018. This is April 20, 2018 and they have sent a bill for $198.92. Service was restored on February 22, 2018. I am getting absolutely nowhere with them!

I have no issue with the AT&T's internet service except at times it is very slow. My issue is with the TV (U-verse). Daily I have issues with it which almost always requires a reboot. The DVR is a old model, but AT&T does not feel it should be replaced. Calling Customer Service never helps as the associate advises to check connections and reboot the system. Their knowledge is very limited. But whenever a technician comes to the house, they are always very knowledgeable and helpful.

AT&T deactivated my service by accident. Now I’m trying to get my service back on this past three days. They assigned tech to our location and tech didn’t even show up loool. This company is total joke. They provide false service, they lie to customers and extort your money for their own mistakes.

My husband and I switched from Sprint and Verizon to AT&T in November and did a trade in on our phones to get the iPhone X. We were told about our trade in cards and how it works and because the iPhone just came out they would have to order it. So we waited until mid December and received an email that our order got cancelled. My husband went into a store and they couldn’t figure out why they got cancelled however wanted to do the switch right then and there and didn’t want to wait any longer. He was at the store for 3 hours while they cleared up the issue that we never received the phones and that he could open a new order in store. I went to a different store closer to home where the other store called and reserved a phone for me to pick up. I went to the Irvine Market Place after work to switch over and again had nothing but problems. I had to explain the situation over and over again.
I was there for two hours before I was even able to start transferring over my phone. Finally it got transferred over and the Lady that helped me said, "Your husband doesn’t have installments on his phone so I’ll add those." Once I left the store I noticed I wasn’t getting any phone calls. I can only dial out and receive calls from iPhone customers. I called the store and they had me come back in and said it’s probably just a defective iPhone X. I left the store and asked my parents to call again as they were the ones they were not able to call me initially and again they still said they were not able to get through. I called the store and told them the issue is still the same and they directed me to go to the Apple Store. I went to the Apple store at the Irvine Spectrum and waited for another hour to be told that it’s an issue between the two carriers Verizon and AT&T as one is not releasing my number.
I went back to the store and told him the issue and gave them the information the Apple store gave me and they said that they would call and get to the bottom of it. I was at the store for another hour when they said the issue is resolved. I went home as it was about 8 o’clock at night and at this point was so frustrated that I wasted my whole day trying to fix my phone. Once my phone started working I started to then follow up on all of the promotional cards and uploading our final bills to receive the visa cards. My husband received his promotional card semi quickly and we were able to pay our second bill using that card. I received my Visa card for uploading my final bill however Darren took about eight weeks. Four months later I still am following up on my $260 promotional card for switching and giving my phone in And is constantly being given the runaround.
My husband still has not received his Visa card for uploading his final bill and it’s been two months. Three months after we started with AT&T we switched from Cox to U-verse and the minute that we got it we knew it was not comparable for the price. To this day I still have pixelation on my TV and every time I have to call and spend 20 to 45 minutes for them to fix The issue or send me a new box and then on the next bill I have to follow up for the credit for the time that my TV was not working. My husband and I were waiting for promotional cards to be able to pay her bill as her bill skyrocketed to almost $400 for wireless and U-verse and Internet however after five days of being late they disconnected our services.
Funny how AT&T demand their money to be given to them so quickly after a due date yet you have to spend your time trying to get money from them for stuff that they’ve promised when you signed up. At this point I’m canceling AT&T U-verse and having to pay $300 for the cancellation fee and canceling the wireless and then a cancellation fee and termination is unknown. AT&T is the worst cell phone provider as I never get service on my phone disconnects and U-verse has the worst TV compared to Cox.

AT&T for internet is by far, hands down, the worst internet service provider I have ever used. And I pay extra for faster connection! Most of the time I have to connect to my wi-fi through my phone because that is more reliable but kills my phone. It's bogus that my wi-fi is "looking for networks" more than it manages to stay connected to one. Who knew T-Mobile cell phone service would connect better to household wi-fi than AT&T U-verse. Where I live, I don't have the option of any other service providers. It is definitely one of the huge motivators my family has to moving. Thanks, AT&T U-verse for being the worst for internet. I will never use their company for any other service for the rest of my life. I will also tell everyone I know about the quality of their service. Funny thing is when I do tell them, everyone already knows. AT&T, YOU SUCK!

I called to cancel TV service and asked just for Internet. They said the bill for internet would be $60 alone instead of $30 in a bundle. I said OK because it was still lower than my bundled bill. The rep then said if I wanted TV, she could add it for $5. $60 for Internet (not taxed) and $5 for TV which is taxed. Then I get bills for $30 internet and $35 TV. It adds up to the $65 but the taxes on $35 TV service is over $11 instead of taxes on $5 which would be a dollar or a bit more. Over 30 minutes on the phone and I was told that no one could make that offer and too bad. Pay or face termination fees. I’m now going to have to pay 12 months of overtaxing totaling around $120 which doesn’t sound like much unless you’re a disabled widow and live on social security and a tiny pension.
AT&T refuses to give out their corporate address, phone numbers or email. There is no way escalate your complaint, probably because they would be inundated with angry consumers. I filed a complaint with my state’s attorney general’s office but she’s a Republican who sides with business so I’m sure it won’t do a bit of good.

Okay, where do I start? Lets begin by saying we've had AT&T U-verse for nearly 10 years. For the first 5 years or so everything was great. We had the U-200 plan bundled with internet with 24 Mbps down, paid reasonable prices, had little issues with the equipment. Later on AT&T contacted us and suggested we upgrade our equipment. It all went downhill from there. We got a new DVR and two wireless receivers. Also upgraded our internet to 45 Mbps. When the DVR recorded shows it would sometimes be chopped up, to the point where it was unwatchable. The wireless boxes would lose signal from the access point AT&T provided, and finally the new gateway would reboot several times a day. We didn't really bother with customer service at this point because in the past all they would tell us is we need to send a tech out and charge us for the fix.
Then on top of all the equipment issues, the inconsistent bills would reach somewhere between $200-$400 every month. We started contemplating why we were paying so much for garbage cable (we didn't have any special services and no HD channels) and supposedly "fast" internet. AT&T uses DSL broadband internet in most places, my housing complex was build less than 20 years ago and the fastest speeds they support in my area is 45 Mbps which they charge $70 for (Comcast charges $70 for around 100 Mbps if I'm not mistaken. However Comcast doesn't use DSL). Anyway we ended up switching to Comcast and so far we're loving it. We get real features on our cable service for a lesser price. Also the internet is much faster. So far everyone over there seems friendly and willing to help. AT&T only cares about your money and not about your service. If you have AT&** and are dissatisfied I recommend switching ASAP.

I live with my elderly father who has AT&T internet. On Friday 4/6 the internet started going in and out. By 4/7 we were completely down. I had just had major oral surgery. My father called AT&T worked through a few things with the tech. Thought it was resolved. A little later we discovered it was not. Called back, tried again over the phone, did not help so set the earliest appointment which was 4/11 4-8. So I get off work at 3, pick up my dad at the hospital, race home and wait. At 7:50 pm I get a text they are not coming, need to reschedule. Soonest appointment is 4/13 8-12. I explain about my father's hospital appointments every day. I would not be made available until after 9. Response was I can make a note for tech of my concern not we will make this convent and schedule it after 9.
It sounded like that would not really happen because the next text was 2-4 I could be scheduled. Does not work because I pick my father up at 3 from the hospital so I get a 4-8 on a Friday night that we have standing plans with friends but no big deal we will miss a week to sit at home for 4 hours waiting for the AT&T tech to maybe show up. I have read the reviews here and I know my father has been a long time customer, still has his landlines, pays his bill on time and yet we cannot get good customer service and our time is of no value to them or the fact we have had no service for a week now.
Even my dad is upset with this whole thing and maybe persuaded to just move on. We could probably get new service, quicker than AT&T, can take care of a good standing customer. I didn't even ask for a adjustment in the bill. From what I have read it might be 10.00 which would be even more of a insult for the time wasted, all the sitting here and the leaving work early to sit for 4 hours and never even get the repair. SHAME ON YOU AT&T FOR TREATING YOUR LONG TIME CUSTOMERS THIS WAY!!!

On February 8 2018 we receive a bill $290.00. I called and after 1/2 hr. ATT agree to reduce the bill to $233.53. We were also told that our bill would be $191.15 for a year. Now our bill was to $221.03 ($30.00 over). They claim now that it was a temporary promotion. The so called customer loyalty dept. said that the bill was $191.15 without taxes. Could not tell us how much the taxes were going to be because the customer services agent we're talking to was in Las Vegas. She was rude and unfriendly. I was on the phone over 40 minutes.

I switched all my services to AT&T and it's been nothing short of a disaster. I wasn't happy with Time Warner (now Spectrum) which I had for home phone, internet, television. I decided to switch to DirecTV & AT&T internet (U-verse) and I also switched wireless for the bundle. AT&T did not deliver on the following promises: AT&T did not honor their "pay-off existing devices". I was sent to collections by my prior provider and still no resolution from AT&T. Even worse, they told me "do not pay the bill - they will handle it" - you can probably guess how that went. AT&T did not "break-up" with my prior providers (Spectrum, Verizon) and I ended up paying 2 more months of each redundant service. AT&T is not able to consolidate my accounts and/or billing across services - I went from 2 bills (spectrum/Verizon) to 3 (all AT&T).
AT&T setup 3 different installation visits and missed 2 of them for which I had to follow-up multiple times. AT&T cannot get my Wifi and Video calling features to work (Samsung Galaxy S8+). My home phone number was never migrated until I followed up 3 times. Simply put, AT&T made a lot of promises and failed to deliver on all of them. I've had horrible service from all their products (DirecTV, U-Verse, Wireless) - multiple customer service reps who couldn't help me, transfers to other reps who still can't help, and even dropping my calls. I escalated to the AT&T Office of the President and have left several VM's with their agents, and I still have no resolution. I will never recommend AT&T to anyone and want to provide a warning to anyone thinking of using them. Do not make the same mistake I did, avoid AT&T at all costs.

I switched to AT&T several years ago because, I needed a faster internet connection. Well, faster? Yes; reliable: NO! In the past week I've had three different techs attempt to fix the problem. Yesterday, I was assured that the problem had been fixed; only to resurface a couple hours after the tech departed. I've had it! The problem is ongoing for months. No bill adjustment or the like for the inconvenience. I should've listened to my cousin, who warned me to stay away from AT&T due to unreliable service. "A hard head makes a soft behind." I'm done!!

I was misled about the service that was offered. I told them the exact speeds I needed to do my work from home, they told me they could offer those speeds. I already get 1 upload speed with Xfinity prepaid and it is not enough, why would I go to the trouble of switching to the same speed that is not enough. I got bundle/internet, phone, tv. She said she was sending confirmation email but tv is not on there but it is ordered. It was not ordered, so I ordered and service rep told me to sign permission to have satellite installed knowing the office might not allow satellites. They sent out installer for phone and internet knowing they did not offer the speeds I needed. The installer just happen to be honest and told me what the speed really was. The AT&T reps were going to have me stuck into a contract had the service been installed and I would not have been able to make a living.
It did not matter to them as long as they made a sell, then the Directv person took my credit card info and told me it did not go through, then she must have sent it through again without my permission and asked if I had another way of paying so my sister used her card. They charged her card and it went through. They claim they only got one payment but my bank gave me the authorization numbers and DirecTV said they do not deal with authorization number. In other words they do not deal with proof. When I asked for a canceled and asked for a refund they said they bill in advance and could not give a refund. I went from dealing with AT&T and DirecTV from Friday to Wednesday until I finally gave up, I need a break before I finish pursuing it. I cancelled and they sent me a text after I cancelled the install with AT&T and DirecTV stating a new install date, lol, of which I had nothing to do with.
Smh, beware of AT&T and DirecTV, AT&T is not the company it use to be. I have never used DirecTV before so I'm not accustomed to their practices, but it seems like they are training their reps some shady tricks to use on customers. I think I will stick to streaming and wait until I can get regular Xfinity with a higher speed. I don't ever want the AT&T DirecTV experience again, hours on the phone, hour after hour after hour for four days. VERY STRESSFUL!!!

AT&T is literally the WORST internet in Knoxville. DO NOT order their services under any circumstance. I was roped into their service with a promise of my total bill being $65/mo for TV and internet. Instead, $172 is my bill this month for JUST INTERNET. On top of that, I'm getting average speeds of 2-3 Mbps, when I was promised 25. When I called them to tell them about it, they said they would send a technician to fix the problem free of charge. When the technician showed up, the speeds happened to be normal so they said just to contact them again if it slows down and left. Then they charged me $100 for "repairs." I've been on the phone with them for nearly an hour, being transferred back and forth between departments and 0 questions have been answered. This company is a JOKE.

Called again on Tue. morning. Said they saw an error and they would work on it and call me between 4 and 5 that evening. After no call back I called again and they saw an error and would check and call back. They called back later and said that they had some error and couldn't turn on HD.

I ordered Uverse online and got a confirmation email that the order was "completed" and the tech would arrive on Sat between 1 and 3pm for installation. I called customer service (844 855-1539) to see if I could bundle the new order with my existing service (Internet), but was told there was a "conflict", and the order wasn't going to be fulfilled. I then had to spend 57 min, 35 sec on the phone with Edgardo (AT&T agent) to resubmit my order and installation appointment again. Now, instead of conveniently installing on Saturday, I have to take off work on Tuesday for the installation.
Per Edgardo (AT&T agent), the reason for the conflict was because the weekend appointment was only available to NEW customers (I've been an AT&T customer for 10+ yrs). I'm being "punished" for being loyal?!? Why did the online order allow me to successfully schedule a Saturday appointment at all? If AT&T sends a "confirmation" email that the order was completed and the tech will arrive on a certain date/time, it's HORRIBLE customer service to change that... The ONLY reason I found out was that I called! Edgardo actually told me if I hadn't called, then I would have been waiting all day on Saturday for the technician, as they don't tend to call the customer and say there was an issue and installation was canceled. Additionally, my first Uverse bill was originally $0 (discounted/waived because I "self-ordered" online), now it's $155, just because I "luckily" called customer service. Ridiculous!!

NO consistency in billing and HORRIBLE Customer Service. I have called AT&T 5 months in a row to get my bill corrected. Each time there's a different resolution with a different plan for a different price. But when we hang up they tell me that whatever the fix was in good for a year. Today, my bill was wrong again, of course. I called and AGAIN the supervisor said the internet package they gave me last month for $50 month can't be continued. So, they can either increase my bill by $10 AGAIN or to lower my package. UNACCEPTABLE!

I have been an AT&T customer for 15 years. I have had repeatable issues with the same store and customer service due to lack of proper training of the staff. I’ve had a salesperson activated the wrong line to the wrong equipment. Took over 3 days to correct issue because no one could figure out how the salesperson even did the transaction. Customer Service was horrible until I finally reached a representative after talking to 3 other people who then spent over 2 hours fixing the problem.
Most recently on 2/19 was mislead on the bundling of cell, phone, internet and DirecTV - does not save money! Details about the home internet were not clearly defined. I was never told that DSL service was not available in my area. DirecTV billing is separate from AT&T bill, never told I would have 2 bills. First bill with the bundle was over $140 above quote given in store. I was told that I could keep my same home number with switching, however still waiting for the lines to be transferred 3 weeks later. I have called the store with no help provide, online chat twice and been on the phone with customer service twice. No one will help resolve these issues. I am locked into a 2 yr agreement now. AT&T should review the experience of sales staff, train staff on proper sales practices and get rid of off-shore customer service.

Spoke with rep and I had to re-explain everything and again I had to ask for a manager, but he was helping on another customer. I got sent over to collections department.

STAY AWAY FROM AT&T. I listened to some people whom told me to go to AT&T for cable tv and internet. On 01/06/2018, DirecTV was installed. Additionally, I had got the ATT Internet box 01/12/2018, and received a bill for internet two weeks later. Didn't even have the internet a month. I had on 01/05/2018, signed a contract with AT&T on the promise I would get certain channels on the level I had chosen, and to make sound so great and get me to sign the contract, an ATT representative told me I could bundle my internet, DirecTV, and cellphone, and receive discounts, as in 5.00 off the internet, and 5.00 off the tv, and probably adding my cellphone 5.00 off that as well. Nope, that can't happen. 1st I called and talked to about 10 different people, to no avail. Then I turned them into the BBB, and finally a woman called from the president of ATT and attempted to resolve the issue.
After about 17 different calls, I am now supposedly got my tv and internet bundled, but was told by an ATT rep that I cannot bundle my phone as it is prepaid. It took me 2 1/2 months just to get the tv, and internet bundle. In the midst of these 2 1/2 months, I was told by an ATT rep in Wyoming, yep that's correct Wyoming, that I was locked into a contract and I would pay if I terminated early. Not to mention of the two ATT stores I went to in Longview, Texas. They were really rude and arrogant sales reps, and had I had good sense I would have seen that on the day I signed the contract.

After spending more than 6 hours on hold with 5 different reps, I was finally able to get my Directv installed but AT&T scheduled my internet for a later date. Once my installation date came around (almost two weeks after I originally signed up) the installer was 1.5 hours late to his appointment. I live in a gated community and he sat behind the gate for less than a minute before cancelling my install and left me a voicemail that he couldn’t gain access. I had given them my gate code more than 5 times over the phone and they still couldn’t come install my internet service.
I called AT&T and they blatantly lied to me and said that I couldn’t get service installed because they had a network error in my area and would have to schedule my install the following week (3 weeks after initial sign up). Even further, when I told them there was no network error and the installer came to my house but left because he couldn’t gain access, all they offered me was an apology for being caught red handed lying. I tried to cancel the internet service only to be told that I had to call another number (cancellations) and that sales and billing couldn’t cancel my service.

Two years in, I can honestly say that the biggest mistake I ever made was in signing up with AT&T in the first place. We were DirecTV customers and so got wrapped up in the whole "bundling" thing. We bought into the cell service and the U-verse DSL, since we live in Mississippi, and apparently, real Internet hasn't made it to this part of the world yet. Many times, with every single device in the home turned off, we still will be unable to stream a movie. If cell phones are turned on with wi-fi on, the wifi that the cell pulls will bring the system to its knees. We're on our third modem in a year. We've had techs at our home four times, now. The customer service agents are NOT American, and if you wish to be connected to an American, be prepared to spend another 10-15 minutes on hold.
My average time on the phone with tech support is about an hour to an hour and a half. Nothing has worked, and the service is just terrible. We hate it with a passion, and are planning to contract with a different company for internet and cellular service next week. Hopefully, one day we will be able to move to a more technologically advanced part of the world.

I never on any site choose that as a security question - never ever! So then they say they are going to call my phone so we try that and I never get a call. So who was in my account screwing with it?

So the person on the phone says take their equipment and bring it to one of their stores and they can verify who I am and then they can call and we can cancel the account. So I drive over to one of their stores to turn in the equipment and cancel the service. Guess what they don't do at the AT&T store? They do nothing for Uverse customers, they don't take your DVR and cable modem and they will most definitely not call to help you cancel your service. They did tell me to turn in my equipment at the UPS store - they're the ones that take it and send it back to these useless morons!
So I came home. Logged into my account (again). Added new security questions (you can't view the old ones), verified my phone number. Saved everything and got off and called their customer-no-support back and they are asking me the same questions for the same old answers not the new security questions I added.

I lost service for both at the same time. I called India errrr I mean "Customer Service" and after two calls and an hour and a half, on the third call I demanded a Supervisor. She told me that the first line reps are only capable of basic troubleshooting and that I had to buy a service plan for $15.00 per month if they were going to help me any further. They only follow the script, they do not listen and are all trained to say "No Problem, we will get your problem handled". So needless to say it is 3 days later and still no resolution because it is not their problem.
At the same time their fiber optic cable is supposed to offer tremendous picture clarity on the television. All it offers me is a picture that freezes and tiles. When the salesperson ran a test, OHHH, the lines were great. I can't watch the Olympics without losing the picture and the screen freezing which is awesome during action sports. I called India again and went through the fundamental crap and answered the same questions over and over, and listened to their canned lines. I was assured after 45 minutes that the problem would not return; which was true for 2 minutes. Then it became worse. I called back and the next rep said they would have to send someone out to fix it. They could actually have someone come out in 3 days. I can barely watch television especially the Olympics and 3 days was the earliest. Figuring I had an Lemming that was not allowed to make any kind of decision, I called back and demanded a Supervisor.
She went through the customary apology, put me on hold to see what she could do and assured me that 3 days was the best after checking with several departments (I am calling BS). I told her I could have my old cable company reinstalled before they could come out to fix my problem and she asked if I could work with them this one time. I told her I just offered them the ability to make it right by coming out earlier than scheduled and she was stumped.
Reading the reviews on this site gives me little hope that either of these problems will be resolved and reinforces the thought that I made the wrong decision to leave Cox in spite of the fact that I am saving $110 a month. There had to be a reason why and now I know. I too was promised by the installing technician (which I tipped a $20) that I could call him if I had any issues.

We have missed work for bogus appointments they set up, we have overages charges on our cell phones because we've been using our hotspots to stay online, and we have no television for the last three weeks. We call and call and call but no one gives us a straight answer. They must be reading from the same play book because each rep gives us the same standard answers... "someone will be contacting you, someone will call when the line is ready, we're sorry for the inconvenience", etc., etc.
Today we tried to escalate to someone with some authority only to be transferred to a "Tech Support Manager" whose name was "Sean" who had no answers for us either. When we told him we wanted to talk to someone above him, he put us on hold and transferred us right back to the call center. What a ridiculous service center they have. What an awful preview of future customer service calls! How can AT&T promise a prospective customer services they don't have? They get us to come on board, we drop our other provider, and then they tell you they are not ready. That is a shady business practice. If you're thinking of switching... don't!

Have been with AT&T for years and their billing has never changes. You talk with a rep. and agree on a time frame of 6 to 12 months and you lock in the price for that time. I have ask them to email me a contract for the agreement and they tell me they don't give you a contract in writing. After receiving a monthly bill for the agreed amt for 3 or 4 months you get a bill with an increase on $30.00 to $40.00. WHEN you call AT&T to ask why the increase they tell you all kinds of reasons. They even told me it was a TAX INCREASE...WHICH when I said that was not true. They changed their story and said I only had a contract for 3 months. And it was over. After I threaten to cancel them they found a SPECIAL PRICE.

Customer Care is the most pathetic attempt of pretending to resolving any issues a customer may have. You the customer are always wrong and AT&T is always right, I made a payment with one of the associates over the phone and was given a confirmation number. I later received a shut off notice and called to verify the payment was made and gave the confirmation number I was given at the time of payment and it could not be found. So I was charged a $35 late fee when the payment was in fact made on time but somehow dropped by AT&T!
I spent one hour on the phone having been transferred to three separate departments to make a case with a confirmation number that somehow didn't exist and they refused to credit the $35. I've been with AT&T for eight years and can't wait to get out of my contract, hope it was worth the $35 AT&T. No record of confirmation number or payment made, charged me an extra $35. What a scam!

My parents house burned down in the Northern California wildfires late last year. They lost everything and barely escaped with their lives. Turning off their various accounts, since the house was gone, wasn't a problem for every other provider except AT&T. In trying to close their AT&T account, AT&T insists on having them return the equipment. Even after telling various reps that the equipment no longer exists since the house burned down, they still want the equipment returned. Clearly, if the equipment existed, it would be returned but it's now ashes that have been hauled away by FEMA.
Every other provider has understood this was a very tragic situation for homeowners as thousands of houses and lives were lost in these fires. However, AT&T has shown it's a heartless corporate company without empathy. My elderly parents are now being harassed by AT&T for almost $400 since they can't return the equipment. Understand this was old equipment which was likely out of date since they've been customers for many years. Avoid AT&T if you can. Worst example of CUSTOMER NO SERVICE.

I would've left a 0 but you can't. I was a customer for 2 years (consecutively) and when I went to transfer my service everything went downhill. First, the internet only worked for one day after it was transferred. I called the tech to address the issue, it wasn't. Then I contacted them via Twitter, no response. Finally I got a response (after four days of no service) and they said they would get it fixed and give me an upgrade at a discounted price. Then the internet was fixed after another two days. I was finally getting service but the upgrade wasn't done. I contacted them again for the upgrade and they said that they can't give it to me. They transferred me to several departments and finally they said they could only offer a small upgrade. So now I have cancelled my account. It's not worth spending all the time trying to get crappy service to work.

I had a bundle with DirecTV and AT&T for T.V. and internet. I had TV service the first month I had service. After that the leaves grew back on my trees and I had no signal. I paid for DirecTV for 8 months without having any service. In that time I had 3 different techs come out and tell me that there is nowhere that they can move my dish to have signal and that I will need to cancel my service. I already knew this but every time I called to cancel the people said we will send a tech out see if they can move the dish. First they tried to charge me every time to have someone come out. Second no one wanted to cancel my service. No one offered to take the money I have paid off which I did not think they would. I finally got someone to cancel my service. They told me the first bill that I get will have a disconnect fee but that it will fall off and not to worry about it. That was October 2017.
Since then it has been on my bill every month $260. I have called every month. Been on the phone for at least an hour every month since October. Been transferred each time at least 5 times. Every time the last person I talk to says "this will be taken care of and your service will not be interrupted". Well last night I got home and had no internet. I called this morning to AT&T again. I was on the phone for 50 min and transferred 7 times. 7 freaking times. Everyone kept saying they could not help me. They all saw all the notes that I had called before. They saw where it said this should not have been billed to me and no one could help me. I kept asking to talk to a manager. No one would connect me with a manager.
I finally talked to a woman that said that she will credit my account and turn my service back on. No apology. No nothing. This is the worst service and I will be finding a new internet service and never ever go back to AT&T for anything. I will be writing a letter to them and I will also be sending e-mails to everyone I can find at AT&T. I am sure it will not matter because they are such a big corporation they really do not care about their customer service. They only care about that $. This is horrible and makes me sick.

I moved from my house on Nov 24th. DirecTV came out to my new apartment and was unable to install due to a tree blocking the signal. I called into the office, explained what happened. I was told DTV would be canceled that day Nov 25th with no broken contract fee because it was out of my hands. I scheduled Uverse to come and install on the Nov 28th. They came, did the job. My new bill comes out with a grand total of $573.64, breakdown Uverse charges 41.61 from 11/28 to 12/10, 12/10 to 1/10 95.00 fees and one time charges 167.98 Internet 40.00. Directv charges 11/10 to 12/09 129.62. Directv charges 11/10 to 11/29 (breakdown: Credit of -93.52 Charges of 194.72 = 101.20). This includes a broken contract fee of 170. I have called since 12/16 asking for credit. I was transferred to 7 different people and 2 managers. I was told credit was done. I start getting collection calls. I call back on 1/10, speak to 5 more people. Told credit is done.
1/19 my service is turned off. I call, talk to 5 more people. They turn it back on, tell me credit is done, it will be 7 days to post. 1/24 service is off again. I'm on the phone now for 4 hours, transferred back and forth from DTV to Uverse always blaming the other. Talked to 10 different people, 1 manager and was told and I quote "pay the past due amount or you get no service." ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
The balance due was $230.82 the double charge from DTV and a cancellation fee, now I can add but doesn't this seem like fraud to you? I have called these people and used 12 logged cellphone hours trying to get this right and now I have paid money for charges I did not owe for services I did not have, so they stole $230.82 along with 12 hours of my life fighting with them on the phone.

To Whom It May Concern: Before I got back from a 9 months' deployment, I chatted with an AT&T representative to activate my account that was suspended for military deployment reason. I came back on November 29, 2017 and did not get any service and could not make the calls I needed the make once arrived back in the States. I decided to check it out at the AT&T office on Tiny Town Road, Clarksville, Tennessee. At the store I was told my account was cancelled but after few calls they were able to restore my line but the wanted to make me pay a fee for changing my plan. I protested and they promised to credit my account with the change of plan fee. (They did credit my account with $ 46.68.)
Now I asked about the price for 3 lines on unlimited plan and I also asked if they provide internet service in my area. After checking in their computer, I was told that they have service in my area, and they offered me a bundle deal where if I have DirecTV along with the internet (Uverse) I will be paying less. I precisely explained that for the past years I was never into a cable. All I need is an internet. But after reviewing everything they presented me I accepted the offer to bundle up (Uverse + DirecTV).
The sales lady told me the technician will be at my residence and install the internet and DirecTV on December 1, 2017. The internet account # ** and order ID ** and the DirecTV account # ** and order ID ** were set up on the same day promising me the installation will be on the 1st for both service and I will be billed for both since it’s a bundle. On December 1, 2017, some technician came and set up only the DirecTV and they said the internet guys will be coming to do their part. Later the day we called the AT&T store to let them know only DirecTV showed up and they called us back and said there was a technical issue and the technician will be there on December 3, 2017.
On December 3, 2017, no one showed up and no call to let me know what the issue was at this time. When I called back, I was given the same technical issue about the fiber line not available and all kind of story. And I was told on December 6, 2017, I will have the internet. On December 6, 2017, no one showed up and no one called to let me know the situation. Now this has become frustrating and I told the store if they cannot honor their end of the deal, I don’t want their service anymore. So they told me they will go ahead and cancel the service which they did not do. I called the customer service to cancel the service but they keep tossing me between offices and I could achieve anything that day. They frustrated me on the phone for long time by playing “We cannot understand the account number you are giving” and I have to hang up.
On December 11, 2017, I went back to the store on Tiny Town Rd again and I told them I didn’t have both service as for that day and I don’t want their service anymore and they can order for the return of their DIRECTV equipments. The recovery kit was sent on December 13, 2017 but I did not receive it as of December 21, 2017. I was billed for the installation which I paid an amount of $ 81.19 on December 19, 2017.
December 21, 2017 I received a bill of $ 502.67. I do not owe AT&T nor DIRECTV that amount. You cannot bill a consumer for canceling his or her service because you cannot honor your deal and have disregard in customer service courtesy. I have paid what I believed I owe you. AT&T DIRECTV is not authorized to debit my account for any reason so forth. I sent my concern to their Facebook and the dude that supposed to refer me to their manager was trying to sell me another deal and when I declined he said he cannot help me. December 22, 2017 about 1130, I call a certain Christine ID # ** on 800.531.5000 and she can’t locate the return box that was sent to me on December 13, 2017. Inquiry or confirmation # ** was the only thing she asked me to hold on to till the box arrives in 4 to 4 more day.
On December 28, 2017, I called Larry ID ** about 1945 and inquired about the return box for their equipment. He talked to me till 2015 just trying to sell me another deal, when I declined and asked about the “mystery box” he finally said there is no box and I can take the equipment to UPS or FedEx. All this long ATT DirecTV could not tell me to just take the equipment to one of these courier but delaying so they can send another bill for not sending their equipment on time. This is a scam this company is running for years. I have returned their equipment through UPS and have the receipt.
Since then no one trying to reach out to me to ask about my concern and they are sending me a bill of early termination in the tune of $421.48. It’s not always about money. It’s about customer satisfaction and if you asked me, I will tell you I am not satisfied at all with the service rendered to. Mind you I have been with ATT for sometimes and specially to come back from deployment to deal with all this stress with ATT and DirecTV is nerve-wracking.

Cost of service started rising after the second month, had to call to get AT&T customer service to lower my bill. They had a different excuse every time. Next to last call the rep said the discount he put in would go until my contract ended. NOT, next month had to call again. Got a kind of rude rep that did not care (probably did not even look at the earlier conversations about my account). Ended up dropping two services. When my contract is up (even though AT&T broke it, they obviously do not know the definition of a contract) I plan to dump them.
They are arrogant at times (there are some good reps but they do not tell you the whole story), I will go for the streaming services just listen to the news etc. on the radio. It is time they were broken down just like South Central Bell was years ago. Overall rating... programming 2 stars (you pay to get the same channels one in regular TV one in HD)... customer service 2 stars... pricing for what you get, 1 star and thetas stretching it.

I also received a text message stating a tech would arrive before 8 pm and would call 30 minutes prior to arrival. I was forced to take off work for this. At 7:30 pm I call AT&T, after jostling with a CSR for 15 minutes I’m transferred to a “supervisor” whom then has me on hold for another 20+ minutes. Once the guy gets back on the phone, he tells me there is nothing he can do since it is after 8 pm. But that he is sorry and can put me on a high priority for tomorrow from 8 am to 8 pm. Basically telling me that I would need to be here, meaning I would miss another day of work. I told him that I am not missing work again for someone that MIGHT show up. I ask that he either reimburse me for lost wages, or credit my bill to $0 at the very least. He says the best he can do is $20... $20!!!
I make that in less than an hour at work. Money is not the issue here, it is the principle that I missed out on over $200 in wages for nothing. But a sorry, a measly $20 credit, and high priority for a 12 hour time frame (major eye roll). Why I have stayed loyal to them is beyond me, but it sounds like new year maybe time for new changes. The customer is not viewed as a value, but more as a source of income. Might I add, this is the second time they have not shown up for an appointment causing me to miss two days of work in total. I’m sure anyone that put their selves in my position, would be pretty hot at this moment as well. I’ll tell you what though, they sure wouldn’t miss a beat if I was a day late paying my bill to add a late fee.

No call either to advise me they were not coming, again. I called AT&T. I was advised they could not reach anyone at either their scheduling or dispatch team. All they could tell me was that they would call on January 2nd. 1-1-2018: AT&T actually calls me. However, I am told they are still working on the problem. They might be able to fix it by January 5th. However, they could not even schedule an install date. Note: I signed up for service in November of 2017. It is now January of 2018. Still no installation. Still no scheduled date for it even. Separately, their approach to treating customers has been horrible. AT&T appears completely uninterested in helping their customers. You cannot find any recourse either to escalate the issue. They just keep routing you back to their Call Center.

I switched to AT&T Uverse for internet and TV by DirecTV due to a cheaper price then I was paying. I signed the contract to pay about $130 a month and free installation. When I got my first bill it was $162 a month and there was a charge for installation. I called customer service and the first person I talked to told me that I would have to pay it. When I asked for a supervisor they put me on hold for about 30 minutes then just hung up. I called back and the installation was removed but the bill was still higher than the agreed upon price. They told me that I signed for this in my contract, which is false because I had copies of everything that I signed. I requested copies of the contracts signed contracts that they retained. I was told that this is “confidential information”. True, but between me and the business.
I asked just to have my $500 in cancellation fees waived so I can go back to my previous provider, in which they offered me a $100 visa gift card that will be mailed to me 30 days after I paid my cancellation fees. So, I went to Spectrum and had them buy out my contract. Awesome. But then I get a bill for another month of service from AT&T that was already canceled. I called customer service to have this removed. They told me again that I would have to pay it then get my refund issued 30 days later in the mail via visa gift card. I asked to speak to a manager, in which again they put me on hold for about 15 minutes this time then just hung up the phone. They will mess with your bill constantly, withhold information illegally, and make you jump through hoops and waste several hours of your day to hopefully get anything corrected. This company is absolutely terrible from top to bottom.

I have had this service since January 2017. At least once a month I am call for one thing or another. A few time it was because my phone didn't have a dial tone. Other time it was because my satellite would freeze up and it would be a clear day. No storms or bad weather. Sometimes my wifi would just randomly quit working. I have had problems with extra fees being added to my bill. Yes, the representative was able to fix the problem in most cases but the hassle of having to call every month because there is something not working with my service gets old. If I was not locked into a 2 year contract I would have gone with another service provider.

We finally got our internet up and running after 9 days of no service (entire area was out) due to some mysterious problem... Finally was explained it was a part that was difficult for AT&T to determine the problem and then had to order the part to get the system back online. My wife spoke to an AT&T Rep today who not only was happy to credit our account (I was expecting a battle), but they also offered us a year's worth of service at a discounted price (non contract). This was a complete turnaround of what we dealt with during our ordeal.
Original Review: Dec. 18, 2017
First, this part of AT&T tacks on extra charges (supposedly for federal taxes) on some months, but not other months. Then they lose a payment and want to charge a late fee. Recently our entire neighborhood lost the internet connection for 9 days, just came up a little while ago. During this entire time, we kept calling and got different stories depending on who we talked to (same thing for several neighbors)... We compared stories and would have laughed, if the situation wasn't so bad. Just had to call AT&T to get the latest bill fiasco straightened out, as they dropped another payment for Nov and wanted to charge me a late fee.
Got that straightened out;... But when we asked about a bill reduction for the 9 days, we were told we had to call another number to get that adjustment... for the next billing. This company has developed a real attitude over this past year, and we are not happy. So we are looking for alternatives, which is not easy in the area where we live. 3 neighbors decided to drop AT&T period and are trying HughesNet... Hope they get decent service, as we've heard they aren't that good either.

I really wanted to like DirecTV, which has now been taken over by AT&T, but they have made it impossible. I wanted to have my cable connection moved to an adjacent room, so I called for an appointment. Although it took an hour to explain what I wanted, I was promised a fee waiver, saving me the 49 dollar installation fee. The installer came out and, although the installation should have been simple, just installing the outlet on a shared wall between the original location and the new location, maybe 12 feet, the installer said he couldn't do it because he didn't have enough cable. He suggested a wireless setup at a cost of over 250 dollars.
We decided to go ahead because the tech told me to call customer service, explain that he was unable to install the cable, and ask for a discount. I thought I would get at least the original $49 installation fee waived, since I had been promised that. However, when I called the service department, I asked to talk to Chris, the person I had spoken with two days before. I was told there are many call centers so no one knows Chris. I was also outright refused any discount because, "we don't see any promotional offers for you". What kind of runaround is that? I am canceling the "protection plan" because they do not take care of their customers so it would be unrealistic to expect protection from them. Can't wait to be done with this contract. Then it's Amazon, baby! Hope AT&T doesn't take Amazon over!

I am having the proofs of transcripts and email which will explain their service. The email shows as we need to go to ATT store then if we go to ATT store they ask us, "We can't do anything. You should go through online."
If that is the case why ATT people asked us to go to store, ATT store is very far from my place. I went twice and no use and they were treating very badly over there.

When I first started with AT&T my service was good. Bills were consistent for the most part, there was always some fluctuation by a few cents maybe even a dollar or two. Then they began to change my plan which I had grandfathered. They began to throttle speeds then when I wanted to update I either had to give up my plan or pay full price for my phone. No options otherwise, couldn't keep my plan. No discount, nothing. Forward a bit and my family was having trouble because Sprint was overcharging. We get quoted about 220 for all our lines and bills come in at a whopping 400-480 consistently. We call and there is nothing we can do at the time because it was a $200+ cancellation fee per phone plus the monthly charge.
We cancel 2 lines and the bill barely goes down to 320$. We cancel 3 and still 250 for one phone... I call to unlock. They guarantee it within 24 hours. I call in after the time frame and I'm told it may take up to 48 but that's the usual time less than 24. 48 hours pass and still nothing. I've contacted them and they say the case has been filed and there's nothing they can do. I guess they had to lie to me one last time before letting me go for good, you know, for old time’s sake.
The service has been so frustrating and unhelpful that I made this account specifically to talk about AT&T and hope, for anyone who's thinking about switching to AT&T's own good, that it will prevent at least one person from going through the frustration and inconvenience that is AT&T cellular service. If this has not convinced you to stay away from AT&T just be ready for grossly misquoted monthly statements, unprofessional customer service, misleading information on their own website & a plethora of unwanted frustrating surprises.

I had a service time of 8-12pm. Had to wait for that technician to arrive only for the issue not to be resolved and he offered no support at all. I called AT&T back and they suggested that the other technician didn't help because he's only trained to fix outdoor concerns. I had to have a second appointment from 12-2 (wasting my whole day off). This technician thankfully fixed the concerns and even followed up with me later in the day to ensure it remained resolved.
Today 12/6/17 I call to see about a late payment charge on my bill. The initial representative went back and forth suggesting that it was the last bill that the fee was incurred then said it was the bill before that. After finally suggesting that it was the last bill I asked why I would incur a fee if the bill was due on the 11th and it was paid on the 13th. I explained to him the number of accounts I have open and have had and there's typically a few days grace. Mind you this is my first time "being late" even though it was just a few days and since he couldn't come to a clear conclusion I asked to speak to a manager. The manager rudely gets on the phone and asks if I want to change my bill due date. He didn't take the time to even listen to see where the concern lies. I am so over this company and their lack of customer service.

Horrible experiences. I have never given negative reviews to any businesses but ATT deserves this. Scheduled internet installation four times and no one showed up. It took them 5 weeks to figure that out. Every week we would call when no tech showed up and a customer service rep would tell us, "Oh there was a glitch in the system, we can reschedule it for a week from today." This was a business account so one day is crucial and Spectrum doesn't provide service in the area so we were out of luck.
Then we were promised a $70/ month phone and internet bundle. First bill received $470.00 and disconnected the lines instantly. They admitted the mistake but took over 48 hours to adjust the balances. We weren't told that we are buying a router for almost $90 which we don't have a use for after three months since this was for a seasonal business. Had to buy a modem that will be thrown in trash after the store closes. After mentioning multiple times that it is a seasonal business, they still have us locked into a 12 month agreement and will have to pay the cancellation when we are done. Even if another service provider offers the same products for twice the amount, we would happily switch.

I need an internet so the owner of the house called AT&T November 17th 2017 and had it scheduled to be set up and delivered with a modem on the 30th. The 30th came and gone. No modem. We called and they said that it was delivered through UPS which we never received. All we received was a self installation package. So they said they were going to rush one the next day and have a tech come out and install everything. The next day on Saturday I called at 12 to confirm and they said that they would be able between 2 and 6. 6:30 came, no calls to say, "Hey we're not going to make it." No modem delivery. Nothing.
I called today which is now December 4th frustrated, aggravated and really pissed off. I get three different people telling me three different things. Finally I asked for a tech support supervisor. She comes on and I explained everything to her. How frustrated I am, how I get three different people telling me three different things and days prior had the same problem with other support help. So she assured me that a tech guy would be out today which he did. Prior to him messing with anything we had cable television. So we hook up the internet at that supposed to be a 50 megabytes and it's only pushing out about 21. So he goes outside and climbs up the pole and comes back later and says that he has to have a splicer tech come out tomorrow and leaves. He's gone about 5 minutes and I turn on the television and now there's no television.
So I call him but of course he has shut his phone off so I call AT&T and of course they can't help me because there's nothing they can do. So now we're not home with no cable television, no internet and some guy that just screwed everything up and left without saying anything. This is the worst service I have ever seen in my entire life. I can't even believe that they can stay in business like this.

But of course The Tech Guy shows up and tells me, "I'm not running a landline and if you do I'm going to charge you $100." I told him, "No that's not going to happen.

When I sign up for DirecTV I was automatic told I was under contract for two years. When I decided to add the AT&T internet, 1st complaint: I was told the installation fee was waive and my bill will 30 per month for the internet. And they did not say anything about contract. They charged me $99 for the installation. I cancel the internet today and went back to my previous ISP. AT&T technician asked me why I decided to cancel, I said because of the customer services. After I refused any special offers, and informed him I just want to cancel the internet. All of sudden he say there is $180.00 early cancellation fee because I was under contract. I told him I called and asked if I was under contract with the internet and, I was told No. He stated he did not see any notes concerning that.
2nd complaint: Around October 2nd I paid my cell bill which is $146.00. Suddenly they debit my account additional $291.00. I called customer service, they said I was behind on my bill in July. I provided the dates my bank account was debited for AT&T back until March 2017. So they credited my bank $291.00, but then they re-add it to my bill. I called customer services at least six times about the $291, $99.00 for the internet installation fee that I was told was to be waive, $50.00 monthly fee and do not combine my account. I was told each times someone will call me back, no one never did. The only resolution I received was they set internet monthly fee to $30.00 that was after I went to an AT&T store.
3rd complaint: The beginning November they turn my services off (Cellphone, DirecTV, and the internet). I printed off all of my bank statements and highlighted each month AT&T debited my account back to January 2017. I took my statements to the AT&T store at 4801 Bryant Irving Fort Worth, 76132 by Chase Bank and Smoothie King. The manager refused to look at the statements and any of the confirmations numbers I received from speaking with technicians over the phone, only said if I want my services turn back on I need to pay the $591.00. Between October and the beginning of November I paid AT&T $837.00. I think all the dissatisfied customers should get together and file a class action lawsuit.

They said ok ok yeah they'll call you when they are 30 minutes away. Your time bracket has changed to 4-8 pm now. I waited at home for 9 hours and no one came. No one called. I talked to around a dozen different reps and they told me I had been bumped and it would now be an additional 9 day wait. No one would give me any kind of answer as to why this was.
Finally, I got through to a manager and she was very unapologetic and basically said, it's an overbooking issue. I said, "Ok, well, that's hardly my fault. Do you think putting me at the back of the wait list for your mistake is good customer service?" She never offered me a sooner date or discount or anything. I called their competition, Mediacom and they were at my house in less than 16 hours. The rep was so nice and even got me a better data package for cheaper than what I had been paying. I also appreciate that they are not sending their call center jobs overseas. I will never attempt to give my money to AT&T again. They clearly don't care about their customers.

On Thanksgiving Day I went into Sam's Club in San Marcos, TX 78666. ATT and a representative there promoting ATT/DirecTV bundle. I was told it was a Black Friday Deal and installation was only 19.95. I began getting calls from someone claiming to be ATT wanting me to give them my social security number. I refused. I was then told I would have to pay $100.00 upfront to have the service installed. Being confused and very angry I called Sam's Club who called the sales representative manager. The manager called me and apologized for the inconvenience and told me she would push my complaint up the chain. I received another call saying they were a third party vendor and when they sent my information through not all of it went through. So, in order for me to get the service I would have to call ATT International and give them my SS# before it could be processed. I dispute this and was told well if I wanted the service I'd do it!!!

I have been with AT&T for more than 15 years and I had paid close to $180.00 a month after bundling all 3 services. I could not even check my e-mails for at least 6 years even though I was paying for it for years. I called to reduce my bill in Jan/17, they offered me a bundled rate of $120.19. For 8 months the bill came with the old rate, I had to call and waste 1-1/2 hr. to get it down again to $120.**. Finally in August or September the bill came with the correct amount, however, each month they forgot to give me a credit for the balance and after I paid the bill they disconnected me in October for the unpaid carried balance of $101.75.
I always paid my bills, I was rarely late and now after disconnecting me they want to charge me for "canceling" the service after I had a new agreement for the lower amount. I am furious!!! For 8 months I had to deal with the customer service, wasted my time (more than 16 hours altogether) and in the end they "canceled me"! What an irony! On top of that the last time I called when they disconnected me the rude person that I talked to said there was no record that I had called since January, that I was lying! What nerve! AT&T is the worst company I had ever encountered and I will never go back to them. I also refuse to pay anything else to them since they cut me off, I was about to pay my bill when they canceled me, so good luck! I am sending a written complaint with some copies of bills and names of the people I talked to for 8 months.

The service they provide isn't worth what you have to pay for it every month. Service is very poor and constantly freezing up. Sometimes you cannot reach customer service. Also when you have a zero balance and try to cancel their service they won't let you.

Our family has had Uverse now for approximately 10 months and problems with the service have never been completely addressed despite at least 3 service calls. TV drops every night around 7-7:30 pm and it usually requires a reboot of the Modem to restore it. There is a TV upstairs in our house that has the Uverse wireless receiver but it will only work for about 2 minutes before it freezes. This condition cannot usually be cured by rebooting and you just have to wait in some cases for up to several hours to get your 2 minutes of service to work.
The internet phones do not work at all and internet connections drop in unison with the TV service. The service personnel sent to fix problems always blame the last service call for some issue that allegedly is the problem only to still have the same problems if not worse following their departure. Service miraculously works while they are showing off their work but fails within a day or two after the service call has ended. Also the DVR continuously reports error messages 'after' it says its recording and at present none of the DVR is working.
We as a family are in unanimous agreement that our service is going to be changed to a different company when the contract is over. I could not recommend this mess to anybody and I feel we should be compensated for all the non-service which for some our TV's is a majority of the time and basically unusable. How do companies like this get away with such terrible service?

Let me start by stating we had AT&T phone service house and wireless when they were BellSouth, Cingular, etc. DirecTV back when they put an antenna in our tree. So about 30 years. About 10 years ago our monthly bills started arriving every month with errors (always in their favor) least an hour or two every month on the phone correcting these errors. They would say they would credit or give us a free month. More often than not they did not. So we quit AT&T and DirecTV. Well last week a representative came to our home. We decided to switch back cause they offered no data cap. Supposed to come today between 1-3. No show, no call. Wasted a half day. Called. Got sooo many conflicting stories.
Bottom line, wouldn't honor the price quoted in signed contract. Said representative didn't have their pricing info correct so we'd be paying over $20 more a month with lesser internet service, started conversation that what was sold to me isn't available in my neighborhood (they spent a month this summer tearing up our yards to install the latest fiber optics). Someone didn't complete the appointment info in their computers. Another wasted hour on the phone ended up canceling. WILL NEVER GIVE ATT ANOTHER TRY!!!

AT&T has the worst internet service in the State of South Carolina.

For retired and disabled persons, they are medically monitored over the internet. The speed here on this main highway no more than 20 miles from Charlotte and between Gastonia and Rock Hill with almost a 100,000 people in those cities, but the counties in South Carolina get sorry internet service.

About a year and a half ago when paying my bill, I was speaking with an AT&T representative who urged me to replace our U-Verse with DirecTV, he stated that UVerse was being phased out and that AT&T now owned DirecTV, and he stated we could save a bit of money with the new internet service. So we did. Since then my husband suddenly passed away, and though I tried to hang on long as I could to all of the services, my new income just couldn't afford the DirecTV package my husband and I had enjoyed, just too expensive. So, I called to cancel the TV package. Guess what, they are charging me for an EARLY CANCELLATION FEE OF $200.00!!! If we had stayed with their UVerse we/I would have been well over the contract-early out fee.
I told them why, because they asked why I was canceling..."because my husband died and I can no longer afford all of the services" (I still have my cell ph and wifi with AT&T). I asked if they could not please waive these fees since there was my husband had died...they allowed me to believe it was possible, then I got the bill). I called about it, they said that I would need to pay it, and then they would decide. Wow...how very very awful!! And I wonder, was it because our UVerse contract was about to expire that they urged us to go for DirecTV?

I explained I needed internet only and did not want to be placed into a service contract. I was quoted a price of $20 a month with no contract and no installation charges (I installed the equipment myself by the way). It took well over 4 calls at 2+ hours a call to get my services working. AT&T had made a mistake initially and needed to correct my account information. About a month after my services were in place, I received a bill for $110. I called AT&T and after 5 calls and 4 hours later, I finally got someone to admit that I had been enrolled in an internet package that was $61 a month, charged my installation fees and had included an early termination contract of $400 dollars in my plan.
I could not believe my ears. I attempted to get things corrected, but kept getting transferred from person to person occasionally getting hung up on and having to start my story from the beginning each time. I finally spoke to a retention specialist in some foreign country (very rude) who refused to cancel my services after placing me on hold nine times over a 2 hour long time frame. Eventually he told me he was in the wrong department to cancel my services. Sooo, I am currently emotionally and mentally drained by this terrible company.

I just hung up with ATT after having been on the phone 1 hour and 7 minutes to cancel U-Verse and upgrade internet. I hung up because the NINTH person I was transferred to (after entering or giving someone my phone number 11 times) basically told me no supervisor was available, she could not "hold the line open" for me to wait for one and she could not resolve my issue. If I had any other service provider in this area besides Spectrum (with great speeds but continuously drops signal) I would never ever use ATT ever again.
My issue (just so those of you who might think to yourself, "Ahh... This is nuts, she has some whacked out ideas and is unreasonable". Cancel U-Verse at the end of a 2 year contract and upgrade internet. Simple eh? Call customer service # on website. Go through automated prompts to find that number was not correct and need to call 800-288-4020. Call new number, talk to first person (whom I later find out is in sales), get transferred to billing person. Billing person can't "do everything" so wants to transfer me again, I ask for a supervisor. Get transferred to "retention" department, immediately ask for supervisor.
This is where I start logging notes. Supervisor "John" assures me "the next person will be able to handle all my issues. (Reminder, issues are canceling at the end of a 2 year contract and upgrading internet). John the supervisor transfers me to a cellular phone agent in Oklahoma who (God love her) had the patience of Job but did stay on the line with me while she dialed the above 800 number and talked me through the same prompts I had already done. Juliette (the wireless gal in Oklahoma) handed me off to Lorali in billing. Lorali was happy to upgrade the internet but had to transfer me to deal with canceling U-Verse.
Sasha, in "customer loyalty" stalled checking for deals to entice us to keep U-Verse for about 10 minutes (mind you my phone showed I was already on this call more than 50 minutes). Dude... We just don't watch TV. We Netflix. This is when Sasha hits me with the "early termination fee" because our "contract started in the system on August 2016 with an upgrade of equipment". PAUSE FOR HISTORY. I ordered and had U-Verse installed October 2015 when I purchased and moved into my first home. ATT installed the WRONG EQUIPMENT and it took me until August of 2016 and multiple calls to get the CORRECT equipment. So according to UVerse, this reset my contract date.
I explain all of the above to Sasha and ask point blank why ATT is so incompetent I can't get my issues dealt with and do they really expect me to pay an early termination fee because THEY DIDN'T GET ME SET UP WITH THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT TO START WITH AND TOOK 9 MONTHS TO GET IT FIXED? I asked for a manager or supervisor. Hold for 5 more minutes. Sasha comes back to the line, tells me all the supervisors are busy and told her to tell me they can't do anything because my contract confirmation was sent August 2016. I say, "I'll wait on hold for one. I have been on the phone an hour and 7 minute already, what's a few more?" Sasha tells me, "I can't hold the line open for you to wait". I hang up. Swear. Walking in to an ATT STORE now. My husband is ready to puke from the stress.

On September 7, 2017 an AT&T sales agent, Marcel, knocked on my door and told me that my area now has Optic fiber internet available and that AT&T is running a special promotion for my area. He told me he can give me the "THE FASTEST INTERNET" for $40 without any contract and installation fee, and I signed up. The internet quality that I was receiving was not great so I went to check what was wrong and found out that I was getting 50mbps internet and not the fiber internet that the sales agent verbally told me I would get. I looked at the receipt that I received from the sales agent and he had actually marked the 50mbps SO I understood that he made a fool out of me and since I had signed the receipt I never complained about it.
My nightmare began when I got my first bill. I was charged $99 installation fee. I called the sales agent right away because he wrote his number on the receipt in case I had any problems. He told me he will get it fixed right away, but nothing was fixed and he never received my call after that or replied to my text. Next I called the AT&T customer services, after my call was dropped 3 times after I had explained my issue, I finally talked to a guy who told me that he has sent my complaint to some department and gave me a ticket number and told me AT&T will get back to me in 10 to 15 days. I went ahead and paid the $40 thinking the rest of the charges will be removed. NO ONE GOT BACK TO ME.
I received my second bill and nothing had changed, so I called them back, the lady who received my call was rude from the very beginning. She gave me excuses like I had to bundle my service with something else to not be charged and basically in the end told me that I will have to pay the charges regardless of that. I was told by the agent because her records don't show anything saying I will not be charged the extra fee. I asked her to connect my call to a manager and she got pissed off and mumbled something and before I could ask her to repeat herself, my call was kept on hold and I never heard from her or the manager. All this time I kept on telling them that I have the receipt that I got from the AT&T sales agent which clearly says all one time service charges are waived, and I can e-mail them a copy of it. They did not want it.
I hung up and called them again, and this after explaining my problem to this guy, he told me that he will go ahead and remove the service charge of $99 but I had to pay $13.33 for the internet I used from 9/11 to 9/20 and since I did not pay that during the first billing session and only paid $40, I was charged a $9 late payment fee. So I asked him if he could remove late payment fee since AT&T sent me a bill with wrong charges and they did not fix it in time. He told me that he can't do that. I was so tired of this whole thing I told him I will go ahead and pay the late charge. I thought my nightmare was over when this guy had the audacity to tell me that Since he is removing this $99 charge from my account AT&T WILL NEVER MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS TO MY ACCOUNT.
So to summarize it all: AT&T sent me a bill with wrong charge on it, causes me so much inconvenience and anxiety, treated me like I was lying, fixed a problem they had caused and made it sound like they were doing me a favor, charged me a late fee on a bill that they didn't fix in time, and after all that, told me I would not be assisted in future because even though they fixed a problem that they caused, I had used their one time account adjustment policy or whatever they call it.

They slap new logos on their app and website, and then sit back and watch their ratings plummet even further.

We had the modem replaced 4 times, outlets replaced for their wiring because the last tech did not ground it properly. And the list of things that are "wrong" goes on and on.

I talked to Shanlan at customer service who said to go ahead and pay the 110.40. No explanation was made as to the additional charges. HBO and other channels were included in the service, which I never asked for, were included. I was told that these were free. This continued for the next three months. I have a list of who I talked to and what was promised.
On 8/9 I was assured that I would get the basic service that I originally ordered. Finally my TV service was cut to little more than local TV channels; no CNN, no MSNBC, TNT, etc. I asked for what I was promised originally, and was told this would raise the monthly fee to 129.99 per month. I mistakenly agreed, because there were some shows that I wanted to watch. I was charged an additional $53.00 for activation of the new service (which I should have had originally). Instead of the promised $129.99, I was charged $178.31 (including taxes and fees). I cancelled the service in September. I was told by the C.S. representative that there would be a cancellation fee of $165.00, which I said I would dispute.
Now I have received early termination fees of $300.00, plus surcharges and fees, equaling $310.39. At the bottom of the invoice, it shows a balance due of $383.47 by November. I also dispute this. I was never under the understanding that this was a two-year agreement. Even so, I was not provided the services as promised. Furthermore, I am a senior citizen, and I believe that the fast-talking salesperson and c.s. people took advantage of my age. I intend to file complaints with the FTC, the Better Business Bureau and the California District Attorney's office.

So ATT treats its customers like crap, they have highly untrained morons who answer calls who don't know how to treat its customers with respect. They seem to be clueless about the channels they offer, so I had the CW always with cable, they tried to tell me I never had a channel that I know I had like I am so stupid I would not know any better. I was transferred multiple times and spoke with a bunch of incompetent individuals who were clearly not qualified to talk to customers or do the very basics of their jobs. If I could get rid of ATT I would in a heartbeat but unfortunately I live in an apartment complex and they are the only cable company we can have.
ATT is the worst company I have ever had the displeasure to do business with and I sincerely hope they get dissolved and all their employees get fired for lack of competence and customer service. ATT as a whole sucks, I knew this when they were horrible with as my cell phone provider but they just keep proving me right, no focus on customers at all.

I can't even give them a rating because I have basically been lied to about the cost of the services that are provided. I am basically paying over $400 each month on a single parent teachers salary. I have been to the AT&T store where I signed up for services on 3 different occasions where I was told that they would waive some of the fees. I have yet to see the amount waived. What was so bad is the bill has conflicting fees/amounts. I asked why the bill depicted lower amounts, and I had to pay the higher amounts, I was never given a straightforward answer.
I will be making my 4th trip this week to probably sit there for another hour after work to listen to more BS. I am not sure what the next step needs to be, but I plan on going to the better business bureau next. I have also asked to have my bill due on 25th of each month because I am paid once a month on that date. I paid on time last month and was charged a $2 late fee.

I have DSL internet with AT&T and I started to get a gateway error and my internet quit working. I called AT&T and they did send a Tech the next afternoon. Come to find out, there is a new house being built behind my home and they were doing some bobcat work and literally ripped the AT&T box out of the ground and cut the cable. This issue is neither my fault or AT&T's fault. The first thing you need to be aware of is that AT&T uses two different groups of Techs. They use "inside" techs and "outside" techs.
So, the first Tech to arrive at my home was an inside Tech. Naturally, he couldn't do anything to solve my issue (cut cable) so he left saying he'd have to enter a ticket for a "dig crew" to come out. When the Tech left he left me his name & phone number along with his supervisor's number and said if the dig crew isn't here tomorrow by noon call me or my supervisor. The next day, I did call the Tech and was told he'd look into it. NEVER HEARD A WORD. I also left serval voicemails for his supervisor never heard a word.
From there I moved to Internet Technical help on the AT&T app and chat is an endless circle of scripted responses preaching customer service and taking ownership of "your" issue. It is literally a waste of time. Then you try to call and you'll be transferred around because no one can give you an answer and eventually you'll be placed on hold until you finally hang up (easily 20+ every time I was placed on hold before I hung up). AT&T will take your number and tell you if you get "disconnected" they will call you right back. That never happened and I made numerous calls. I repeated this process numerous times only to get the same result. It's always sent back to the "dispatch supervisor" and you either end up on hold or cut off.
Needless to say after trying for well over a week, appointment no shows (which I had to take off of work to be at home for) and endless transfers I am canceling my AT&T Service and going with another provider. I will say this, I never had any issues with AT&T's product, but be aware if you ever need service you're in trouble. AT&T does not care about fixing issues so be prepared to literally fight and be frustrated to no end trying to get them out to complete a repair.
