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

I have been having very poor internet service for the past 6 months. Techs from DirecTV and AT&T has been out to no avail. It will work for a few days and go back out. I have to argue with the customer service rep before he agree to send someone out to take care of the problem.

AT&T said DirecTV came with the Uverse because they now owned them, for 2 years I paid one bill. When I canceled my service I kept receiving a bill for the internet and then they said I had a cancellation fee for the internet. Then I get a bill for $289.79, then I get a credit for $220.00 from DirecTV which I have never dealt with. In the meantime I am calling customer support. Someone says I do not have cancellation fees, another lady says I owe nothing then all of a sudden I get a call from the collection agency. After going back and forth with them for 2 months I agreed to pay $78.99 which I know I did not owe them. Never again AT&T.

I have had this service since August 2018. I am formally a Dish Network customer. This U-verse service has been a complete nightmare. It doesn't work most often and I'm locked into a contract that they won't let me out of. The price is higher than what they promised. And 5 different technicians can't get it working properly. It is hard to get anybody to answer your calls on the customer service number. Do not use this service.

I had to commit to a two year contract, that’s fine but, I’m already fretting about trying to find another TV provider that we can afford when this contract is up in November. We used Comcast in the past and really liked it, but it became too expensive for the channels we watch. I hate making calls and trying to find the best price for what I feel are mostly useless channels. The package we have now bundles my home phone, internet and television. We have 200 channels and about a quarter of them are infomercial channels! My husband is retired and television is his main source of entertainment but we are not computer savvy, so using Netflix, Amazon, Roku or other computer related products are hard for us.

Can't believe the highest speed offered is “up to 24mbps” which is actually 16-18mbps at best! I would expect availability of at least 100mbps... on top of it, the cost of the supposedly 24mbps is super high at $65/month!!! That should be the cost, again, for at least a 100mbps connection...

AT&T is a good company. The one thing that I had an issue with was that I had to be always aware of when my year contract was up because if I didn't call to renegotiate a better deal I would always get charged the highest price. This is pretty annoying since I never really wanted to change the plan I had or add to it.

AT&T has been more consistent than other companies I have used, i.e. Comcast, Cox, WOW! I think they all charge too much. But I believe one should be able to own, not rent, the box. The equipment appears to be the same and interchangeable.

AT&T likes to turn off services rather than impose late charges to collect a large fee to turn services back on. You have to carefully review your bill or they will charge you for services you did not order nor change. I hate AT&T. They have no respect for longevity of an account nor loyalty.

There are two main reasons I am very satisfied with AT&T U-verse. First, the ability to move TV’s to different locations of the house without needing a cable from the wall is great. Second, you can record and playback from any TV. I couldn’t find any other provider that had those two features. I pass on all the TV offers for cheaper service because they cannot offer me what AT&T does (at least in my area).

AT&T talked me into their Uverse service, then discontinued the hardwire service and I was stuck. The service goes offline about once a month requiring a modem reboot - pain in the neck every time.
Reviewed May 5, 2018
While I had AT&T internet I went through a modem every 6-8 months. Each time I would get a new one of theirs set up and after a few months my service would be down. I would spend literally 2+ hours on the phone with them each time, unplugging and replugging equipment. AT&T blamed faulty modems each time for the troubles and after putting me through this hassle would send another modem. I ended up buying my own modem but still had problems, though less frequently. I found out later from a neighbor that the problem was the very old wiring AT&T was using in our area instead of the fiber optic they use in other areas. I switched to Comcast and haven't replaced a modem in years. AT&T has the highest prices and worst service available, just check Consumer Reports for confirmation. I no longer use them for anything and would never go back.
Reviewed May 5, 2018
AT&T uses service techs that are not always knowledgeable. Have them for tel and fax. When their tech works on my service or the pole outside, it creates more problems, i.e., no fax line. You need to get the name & number of one of the good men to call when you need service. That is the answer.

We have phone, internet and cable with AT&T. Telephone and Internet both are outstanding but the Uverse TV signal at time will pause, or a station will be lost for minutes or hours. Pricing for the 300 level of tv service is a little high, but so are the other options, so I will stay with what I have. The Internet connect is fiber optic in our neighborhood and is very good. No outage and service is fast. I would recommend AT&T.

Easy to buy products online, easy to navigate online account, easy to chat with agents. Ordered Directv and Uverse 1000 internet bundle online yesterday. Tried to cancel it today (1 day later) to switch to the Uverse tv and Uverse 1000 bundle instead. Chat agent sent a ticket. Got a call from their loyalty department. Man named Lewis said he couldn't cancel as it was such a recent order. He was going to transfer me to the sales department. Instead he transferred me to an auto shop in Portland. Okay, great. The number he'd given me to call in case he messed up is actually a number for an optometrist in Connecticut. Unprofessional worker. Incompetent customer service.
I went on the chat again, and told them that they should cancel my order from yesterday unless they want their installers to waste their time showing up on my door only to be denied entrance. They were able to cancel it via the chat When the first chat agent couldn't. Strange how that works. I got a confirmation number for the cancellation, and if they give me trouble about this or bills, I will be contacting a lawyer. Despite their "contract" only allowing mediation. No service was installed or started, and order cancelled within 24 hours of buying it online. I was going to get the Uverse tv and internet, but after this drama over the past 2 hours, only to switch orders, I will be staying far far away from ATT.

I moved from Tyler, TX to Fort Worth, TX in January 2018. I moved into an apartment complex that only offered AT&T. Today is May 2nd, 2018. I did not receive my service until the end of March, that is 3 months. 3 Months of phone calls, headaches, the runaround. They had a resident in the apartment before me that did not shut off their service, and could not figure out how to get mine connected. I logged 74 hours of phone calls dealing with these people. I even had 2 representatives in my home trying to figure this out. By the time service was finally installed, I was promised no installation fee, 2 months of free internet and a gift card for 200 dollars. 9 days later I receive a bill for 159.00 dollars. Are you kidding me???
So I called and they tell me not to pay the bill. They will open an investigation and get back to me. Then I received a second bill for 200.00 dollars. Now I have reached my limit. I have escalated this matter to the president's office. I get a call from a guy by the name of Rob, that tells me he is sorry but there are no notes in the system and he is not able to do anything. Just a side note...I am a redhead, I lost my mind! I got the bill down to 91.97 dollars, of the 200.00 dollars when I was supposed to pay 0.00 dollars.
I have never in my life had to fight so hard to pay someone to provide me service that I pay for, to be treated like a liar and a thief. I hope that anyone reading this understands that this company is only out to satisfy themselves. They do not care about the customers, nor do they care about customer service. It's not like I was asking for the moon. I was told my 2 months free would equal $80.00. Someone please explain to me how making it right and keeping your word for $80.00 is not acceptable. If you have a choice, please do not choose them. And if you do, I will keep you in my prayers.

This internet provider still has not yet provided my area with their more modern service abilities so I am stuck with their much slower regular DSL service where I was paying top dollar (There are no package deals for this service.) for a very slow internet speed. I was told when I signed up that I would get a speed of 6 Mbps however I am only getting about 5.5 Kbs on average which is less than I was told. That's about half a kilobyte per second which is very slow. I called AT&T and told them about it and I was told to have the speed checked out with a third party app that is on the internet.
This app does not tell the truth as I have three apps myself that prove my findings and even when downloading something using either Microsoft Edge, or Google Chrome they both have the ability to show how fast the downloads are and also show this very slowly speed. So when I asked to speak to a supervisor they transferred me to one and I was told that I would be put on a package deal for one year for 29.95 a month. However I have only been billed that much for one month the rest of the time. Since then I have been paying 41.00 a month and also before I even got a reduction in price. I had to pay 71.00 the month before I received the lowest bill. This shows they can't be trusted and I feel I am being cheated. Why should I have to pay such a high price for this service so they can offer great package deals to the people who live in areas where they have upgraded their services.

We started with a contract, a great price for bundle, cable, DSL, phone, all channels and all premium 4 TVs for two yrs. $158 + tax + services, after the two years they started going up but without notification or email or letter. In my 6 yrs of use the home phone maybe was two minutes or to send a fax so in my 3rd year I requested it to remove the phone. I was told he couldn't do it because I had to contacted another department. I thought it was strange.
Well last week I was disgusted by the new statement. I received $354.00 this time. I went again in the chat room. I said I'm researching to move my services ASAP because it wasn't fair to pay the prices and keep going up so he offered to keep the service to give him a few minutes to look for a price to see if I will be happy with it. I told him, "I don't want the phone," he goes, "not a problem", "right now I'm going to cancel it", wow why the other customer representative didn't do the same 2 yr ago? Finally he offered everything for $160. I told him, "great. I will keep the service," plus I received a reward of $200.00 Visa. I love the customer service.

My husband and I have been with AT&T for years. We recently upgraded from DSL to Uverse. Told we would not be charged for installation. The order was for Internet 75 but when the installers came out was told all we could get in our area was Internet 24. We decided to go ahead anyway as this was faster than our DSL. Our 1st bill arrived and of course we were charged for installation. I called to dispute and the rep said we had canceled the DSL and that is why the fee. I told her it was an UPGRADE and had the DSL until the day they put in the Uverse!
We never canceled first but upgraded! Then we received 2 bills, one for our new Uverse and one for our old DSL account! We are now being billed for both services. I had called ahead of time to make sure this would not happen and was assured it would not. So now we have 2 bills! One for Uverse and one for DSL! The DSL billing should have stopped the day the upgrade took place. Why are they billing for both services when one is all we have? Both are for the exact same time period. I have spent hours on the phone being transferred from one rep to another and am really upset.

AT&T may look inexpensive in regard to satellite internet and phone service, they are not! The internet you get with Directv is awful. It is slow as molasses and keeps going in and out. Terrible.

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).

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.

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.

Even worse, they told me "do not pay the bill - they will handle it" - you can probably guess how that went.

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.

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 AT&T on Sat. 3-31-18 to have HD turned on for my plan. Told it would be turned on by 8:00 p.m. that day. It never came on the whole weekend. Got online Mon. 4-2-18 and did a chat on their website. They said they saw an error and corrected it and I should have it in about an hour. Still didn't have it by Tue. morning. 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 asked if they would fix the problem and they said it was a problem in my area and they didn't know when it would be fixed. So I have no HD on my plan and they wouldn't say when OR IF I would have it.

My service was scheduled to be installed on March 31st, in the afternoon. The technician called said he was in the area can he come earlier. I said, "Sure. That would be great." After an hour and a half he said something was wrong with the signal to my unit and an engineer would have to come out and fix it. Hopefully they can get it done today if not tomorrow. I said, "Tomorrow is a holiday. Are you sure someone would be out," he said yes.
I called the technician's phone around 3:30 or so, no answer, I called again left a voicemail saying I was looking for a follow up on my install. He finally calls back says, "It's too late today, so maybe tomorrow or Monday." I've talked to at least three different people. Still can't get service until SATURDAY APRIL 7. I've had my appointment for March 31st for two and a half weeks before the date and still have to wait. Friends tell me their service is great, but their customer service sucks and I don't want to keep waiting and getting my install dates changed after I set it up so I'd be home.

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.

But finally the second person I talk to was able to make it where I can pay it all on April 6. On yesterday I turn my TV on and they cut off my TV and internet. Here we go again for Round 2&3 with ATT. But they are claiming there’s no record of my payment arrangements to pay all on April 6. I told the lady 20 times I spoke with rep and they said that I got until April 6 to pay it all.
It got escalated to manager and I told her the same thing I told the first rep. I got until April 6 to pay all. But she still trying to argue that there’s no pay arrangement showing it. Until she finally look back and saw that I did had payments arrangements was set to pay all on that date. She fix the problems and I got everything back on. Today same situation. 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. Spoke with them to get it fix. The main point is that they broke payment arrangement twice. The rule was as long you set a payment arrangement you wouldn’t have any Interruption in service.

My experience with AT&T started with my install date on 3/9/2018. The tech arrived to my house at the agreed on time. Then started the 5 hour nightmare. There was a problem with wire in the street the next block over. I was told they would fix the street issue over the weekend and be back on Monday to finish the job. I met a man on the repair crew on Saturday morning. He told me that he had good signal all the way to a box in my backyard. Easy right? Oh hell no. Today it's 3/20/2018 at 5:00 PM EST. My service is still not hooked up. I've called, I've tweeted @ATTCares. I have nearly 9 hours of wasted time with them trying to get a simple hook up done.

I called them, they sent a tech out, and shortly after the tech left the issue with internet came back. Also, when I called them for a 2nd time on Thursday they said a tech will be out on Saturday. The tech never showed up. I called on Saturday and they weren't able to provide me a day and time when they could get a tech out. Enough is enough. I called today and requested cancellation of my service and they stated I will be charged $300.00+ to cancel my service.

Our bill was a 100 dollars more than what they stated it would be this month and on top of that OUR service barely works! We have called Uverse. They have replaced modems and told us it was a DirecTV Issue for the on demand. DirecTV says it's a Uverse issue so now I have to call back and forth to resolve an issue... I'm the customer and You gone charge me a 100 dollars more than you said and then have me doing all this extra work for services that dont half work.

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. I wish I could find an attorney to sue them. I would, just for the frustration of what they have caused me.

I signed up for AT&T internet along with a bundle package for Directv. After confirming my new address with the agent multiple times, they still sent a service installer to my old address. 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. Hands down the worst service I have ever received in my life. AT&T are incompetent, lazy, and lie through their teeth.

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 made the extra trip to their store just to get it done in one fell swoop and they won't take my equipment or process my cancellation. When I moved across states and changed to AT&T from Comcast, Comcast processed my service cancellation AND took the equipment at their store in MN, when my service was in MD. With AT&T, I'm trying to cancel CA service in CA and they won't even do it.
If I did have any interest in simply transferring they would have lost my business by now. Then I called cancellation number when I have any time to do this type of work as a working parent (Sunday) and they mandate a call during business hours, of course it's so their retention team can try to convince me to stay with their awful, overpriced company.

This day has been a nightmare, a day in AT&T Uverse Hell. You can't cancel your service by logging into your AT&T Uverse Account. So I tried calling them and they start ask my what my pin number is. I have it written in the folder they gave me when they set up the service and they tell me that's not my pin number. OK then on to the security questions. "Whats my favorite restaurant?" 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? ATT?
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. UVERSE support is non-existent, they offer very little help, and don't give a crap about their customers. And here I sit and I can't cancel the service!
