Frontier Communications horrible customer service and wait time

This company is the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life! I have spent numerous hours on the phone waiting for someone to answer, then getting disconnected, then spending even more wait time when transferred to someone else! All I'm trying to do is pay my bill through auto debit, and for 4 months they have not been able to do this! The website won't let me register, and even the pay by phone won't take my account number. Every time I try to contact them, I know I'll need at least 2 hours to deal with the wait time and all the people I get transferred to. One rep even tried to register me online himself and couldn't do it because it kept going back to a previous page or said I needed to "finish" my internet registration (which tries to download an app that I don't need from them because I already have the Internet service! On top of that, THE FCC WON'T ALLOW MY PREVIOUS CHEAP INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ATT) IN THIS LOCAL AREA! I AM FED UP!

100% agree...but it isn't the poor people working customer service...its the crooks running the company...they bought out verizon and one month later tried to raise my rate almost double saying my previous contract with verizon had expired...after spending two weeks talking to many different people and being told anything from we cant offer any other rate than this new higher one, to each different person lowering the rate for me to $5 each day...finally I had to disconnect my service in order to get it $5 cheaper than prev. @ verizon...absolutely robbery for the acverage person who gives up from lack of time and just agrees to pay there new rate...now six months later I still have to call each month to pay for my bill @a $3.50 charge because there "the internet provider" "FRONTIER" cant figure out how to fix there web site for me to pay my bill @ no charge...how many million people just pay the $3.50 charge and move on...hmmm lets see if it was just say 1 million people @ $3.50 each month then maybe as president of Frontier I wouldn't push to have the pay for free website fixed either...I have nothing more to say without getting ugly...so everyone needs to start fighting harder for our hard earned dollars...American GREED sucks period...

Frontier Communications fios, phone, tv, internet

I have a bundled service from Frontier Communications and they have to be the absolute worst! We have the TV, Phone, and internet all in a bundle. The TV never seems to work properly and if we want someone to help get it to work they want to be paid for all. They arbitrarily gave us VOICE MAIL on our answering machine and DID NOT EVER tell us until we were in it for at least 5 months - 5 months of missed messages! I was told that they should have told us twice and when I told them they never said a thing, the typical excuse or answer was "I am sorry". The people with the interet are total idiots. We are from WA state home of Microsoft and I feel we get a better level of service from the WA people but we normally get jerks from everywhere but here to waste my time and never resolve anything. I did NOT think they were with the goverment and with a union! When we get our contract fullfilled, we are soooo gone!

I recently keep getting disconnect from internet several times, and my computer shows I got limit connectivity which mean the signal is bad. How can I get bad signal when the internet modem is upstairs, my room is downstairs, and I have a good wireless network? The limit connectivity causes my wireless network and the rest of wireless networks to disconnect. At the time, I knew the problem is the internet modem because it keeps giving the wireless networks disconnect several time. This keep happen to me almost every single day. In some cases, I get disconnect more than 5 times like today. Sometime the internet start’s working again after 5-10mins. Sometime I have to turn off and then on the internet modem. I don’t want to go upstairs and turn off/on the modem. I don’t want to wait in the middle of my works (online homework, or bidding item). I don’t want to get disconnect at all and it really frustrated me every day. I called the frontier company to change the modem or to fix the disconnect problem but they refused to change the modem. They said they can’t help me to fix the disconnect problems because they said the internet is working now. They said to call them back when the disconnect problem happen. I told them by the time I get to talk to them; my internet comes back on already. Before they told me to turn off/on the modem, the internet did come back on but my internet will get disconnect again and again. That mean I have to wait or turn off/on the modem a few time a day. Again, I don’t want any disconnect and it really painful to me. I had search a few solutions on my own but they still don’t work. I am out of option but asking for your help. I don’t want disconnect almost every day.

Frontier Communications 3rd party billing

I do NOT want Frontier allowing companies to bill me on my phone bill!
I never signed up for this protection service and yet they were allowed to charge my phone bill without me being aware of it until my bill came out. I cancelled the charge with no problem...but when I called Frontier...I was told there is nothing I can do about it...it is a COURTESY that Frontier gives to these companies. I DO NOT WANT THIS COURTESY! I certainly WILL NOT continue with Frontier if this is what they consider a courtesy to their customers.

Frontier Communications poor service

Plan on spending an afternoon on hold if you have to call Frontier Communications customer service. I waited on hold, listening to extremely poor quality muzak, for 18 minutes before I hung up and called back later. The second time I waited 42 minutes before getting totally frustrated and hanging up. The third time I selected a billing branch from their unintelligible phone tree and as soon as I got ahold of a real person I demanded to speak with a supervisor. Lo and behold I had to wait on hold another 10 minutes before I got someone who could help me. It took him about 45 seconds to take care of what I needed. This company needs to hire some more service representatives as they are demonstrating a total disrespect for their customers by making them wait on hold for so long. Thank goodness I've moved out of their service area.

Frontier Communications fraud

I disconnected services with this company after only 5 months. My bills fluctuated every month and credits were given because they couldn't get their accounting correct. Due to me being in a contract with them for my telephone, internet, and cable, I had to pay $281.00 to disconnect, but it was worth it. However, 5 months after disconnecting services with them they continue to send my bills and the most recent one is about me not sending their modem back. I sent the modem back to them in July and they are saying they never received it and now I owe them $113.56 and if I don't pay within 10 days they will send it to collections. DO NOT do business with this company. They are trying to get over on their consumers in any way possible. Their bundle packages may seem lower than their competitors, but really they are not. My bill was suppose to be around 165.00 a month, for the 5 months I was with them it was over $220.00. I went back to Comcast and have my bundle package through them and pay $175.00 a month and their internet is so much better.

Frontier Communications terrible transfer from verizon

One day on my TV I saw the logo change from Verizon to Frontier when you turn off your cable box but not the TV. I had no idea that a new company had taken over my cable, internet and telephone service until then and even then it was not clear.
Next I lost 75% of my channels without any warning, I figured it was a technical problem so I called the company and they spent 2 hours on the phone trying to fix it. Then they talked to another department and they said I needed a new package. It took me two weeks to get close to the same service I had with Verizon as everyone at Frontier was incompetent.
Plus they told me there would be a $315 penalty if I did not keep my service for 2 years. I asked if I move to a state that still has Verizon would I have to pay the penalty and I have gotten 3 different answers.
Frontier is a terrible company with lousy service and no customer support. As I read in the newpaper a quote from the CEO of Frontier; "we measure success by increase in sales"; nothing about service or quality of products.
In short Frontier sucks.

That's sounds like the sad part about all of this, there is no competition to switch to. I have been a 12 yr customer with TMobile, for 9 days I have had to deal with losing connection to the server, I have about 10 minutes of computer time. It is obvious the techs I talk to are scripted, they don't know how to solve the problem, they just end up wanting to sell me more stuff. I am thinking of trying Comcast, now I don't know.

Frontier is now like our banks, you get no interest from them anymore. Love the BBB rating "F" for failing Frontier, other "F" words are available. Actually I think their field techs are trying hard to do the best job they can.

Having the same problems with service going downhill since changed from Verizon to Frontier. Made a change on website from Internet Lite to Internet Max hoping it would help with problems we have. Received a new modem that looked exactly the same except for logo said "Frontier". Several days later when the speed had not increased we called at a Tech was sent out. He told us we couldn't get the higher speed. That we were too far from the office(?) to get any better service. We are not out in the middle of nowhere. So they were willing to take our money for a high speed service without providing that service. I told him that it was better when it was Verizon. He told me it is the same that the only thing that changed was the name. He said the equipment is all the same and it isn't capable of any higher speed. Interesting that we had a higher speed with Verizon and we didn't loose our internet for day or two at a time. He then looked around and said our line coming in from outside was the wrong type so he changed it. Nothing has improved with the new box and line. Now looking into seeing if Comcast will do better for us.

I moved out of state and needed to cancel my contract/terms of internet service with Frontier. When I called the representative they told me to call back in 1 week, because I would be charged the early termination fee of $70.00 - and if I called back in 1-week, my 1-year contract would be done by then. When I called back in a week, another rep confirmed that I would NOT be charged the disconnection fee and all was good. Then I received a bill for $70 - a 'disconnection fee' and when I called again to dispute the charges, they told me that there was nothing they could do, and that talking with a manager wouldn't help, I would have to wait 1/2 a hour and that the manager couldn't do anything for me that the rep couldn't do. UGH! Jerks!

Frontier is no better in Ohio. I have complained about their internet service, they acknowledge "problems", say they are "making upgrades" and that things will get better. It's not happening. Ask yourself why upgrades are needed when things worked fine under Verizon!

The change from Verizon to Frontier has been a downhill slide, and they don't seem to care, or at least are unable to fix things. On Mother's Day I couldn't get connected to the internet at all for extended periods. Makes me think their "improvements" are essentially minimizing bandwidth.

Very dissapointed with this company!

For the past month I have had to contact Frontier on an almost daily basis because my DSL light on modem constantly flashes and I lose my internet. They sent someone out who replaced the modem and at first I thought the problem was solved.. two days later same problem. I called back and they ran tests and low and behold my internet will come back on. On my fourth call for the week that week they insisted that I had to have someone else come back out to my house. The tech sat in my house at my computer for ten minutes, said there was no problem and left. An hour later my modem was back to it's same trick, once again I called Frontier they ran their tests and my internet was back on and working. Then this weekend hit, this has been the worst yet, my internet speed is most definitely not working the way high speed should. Its almost like I'm 18 again and trying to use the dial up internet that my parents had. I called back to which I was told that they are "improving" my area and that slow speed is expected. I was put on hold no less than ten times and in the process my internet went out once again. I was then told I was going to have to have a third tech come out to my house.. and when I explained that the techs aren't helping but whatever test they run on my connection while I'm talking to them always does the trick.. they refused to help me unless I'd have a tech come out.. this is ridiclious, I'm paying for service that is working 40% of the time at best. Avoid Frontier, I never had a problem when I had Verizon!

you are to far away from the central office- this causes the wi fi to run weaker as you have 1. probably less than 6 Mg. speed chosen 2. to many devices running on the wi fi. Spend a little money and upgrade, don't run so many devises, or move to a better area

When the Frontier representative was making a deal with me that about the Internet service for $24.99 a month with the agreement of 1 year contact. He said I can terminal the service at anytime with no early termination fee. He didn't tell me about a second year in the contact. After 1 year, I'm going to disconnect Internet service. A Frontier custommer service told me that I have to pay for the early termination fee $200. At this time, I just know that they put me on the contact for 2 year. They do a fraudulent on the offer services. I don't want to have any special offer from this company again.

Unfortunately I must agree with the negative comments associated with Frontier and the Verizon/Frontier transition. It has been a disaster. My experience with the tech reps was like watching comedy.com. I received different answers from different people on everything from email settings to cancellation policy. When I asked what "incentives" might be provided to customers who choose to keep this company, they indicated that nothing financially would be given but their "excellent service improvements." When I asked what those improvements might be, it was absolutely ridiculous - nothing! It saddens me that such a takeover could be forced upon loyal paying customers. If you want to leave you should do it with impunity and no cancellation fees. I received the answer that there would be a fee when I spoke with a rep - then after my protest that I had been a Verizon customer for over 5 years, he then indicated there would be no fee! He did NOT know the policy and I felt no confidence in his answer - nor did he! Shame on Verizon... and Frontier will eventually get its dues...no actually recruited customers and mice fleeing the sinking ship.
PS: Get ready for more problems if you use internet service from competing companies in other states. My trip to AL at our son's home (who has excellent internet service with a local ISP) proved frustrating as I could not send (only receive) email. When I got to the bottom of it, Frontier "has a habit" (ISP rep's words) of blocking other ISPs. Nice, huh?

Frontier Communications erronious charges

I have been a Verizon customer for 15 years. Recently Verizon sold their land line and internet services for our part of the country to Frontier Communications. That's where the problems started. Soon after the switch was made to Frontier I received a promotional card in the mail to receive a phone/internet bundle at a price lower than I was already paying. I called Frontier but was told since was not a new customer I did not qualify for the deal. The represenative told me however that I could switch to a faster internet service for 69.99 which would save me about $5 month. I said no-brainer, make the switch. My next statement came and it was for $88. I called Frontier and was told that the bundle price is $69.99 + taxes, surcharges, gratuity, etc. I got nowhere with the representative I was talking with so I asked for Genivie's supervisor. Her supervisor, Dalton, came on the phone after about 10 minutes. He was real jerk. (I guess I probably wasn't real nice by then anymore either.) I asked to go back to my old plan for $73 but he said that I would be breaking my contract and the cost for that would be $160. I asked to have my original conversation reviewed (they always say they may be recorded) but he said those are for training only and not all are recorded. He went on to say that was sent paper work in the mail with the new rates and that by not replying to the charges listed on their I had given my approval for the new charges. he said I had 30 days to review them. Well it just happens that 30 days from the time I would have received the papers would be several days from this call. So I said well my 30 days aren't up yet. He quickly said, no, it's 30 days from when you make the change, not from when you receive the paperwork. So it was past the 30 days by 2 days and he would not let me go back to my old plan without the penalty.That's the policy! The original representative had offered a $15 month discount for 12 months. Dalton said that was an invalid offer and he would not honor that. So again one of their employees made another offer that was not valid, just like what was made on my original phone call. I'm dropping Frontier and going to someone else. I asked Dalton if he wanted a happy customer? he wouldn't directly answer the question. This change to Frontier was a bad move for many customers.

I will never fly Frontier air again!

Check in: Not seated together after seats had been bought in advance of 4 mths. I have a handicap husband with( ALS ) look it up, and an 8 yr. old daughter.
Wheelchair was not door when I had put an order in for one to be at the door.
I pd. for the plus plan tickets and got nothing for it.
So called flight attendants with no training in how to deal with passengers are the ruddiest I have ever come across. You could find better if you walk down the streets of San Francisco .
We were not the only people complaining on the flight.
I have been putting out the word to everyone I know that travels by air, DO NOT TRAVEL FRONTIER!
Don't feel bad you're not the only one I am upset with, Onetravel.com is a sight that you should never get cheap tickets through. I have never filed a complaint before. I do feel my Husband, daughter and myself are owed three round trip tickets to anywhere in the United states, and would prefer them to be with another airline. Just because your airline is (CHEAP) doesn't mean you need to act it! Sincerely, Pamela Fries

Flight canceled out of Denver tonight, even though every other airline has flights leaving tonight. Wanted me to fly standby for the next 24-48 hours, telling me that the earliest they may be able to get me out would be Monday (Its Friday now). Poor service, even worse terms of carriage, which oblige you to accept their poor offerings of two day standby or forfeit your refund. Had to book a flight with United (Leaving tomorrow AM) at considerable expense. Interesting - in their terms of carriage they state the they will attempt to put you on the next flight out, even if it is with another carrier - not so, you have to book yourself. Also, trip insurance is a waste of money, since Frontier offered me weak standby, they technically did not cancel my flight for longer than 12 hours, thereby nullifying my ability to obtain insurance reimbursement. Weak, very weak, will never fly with these fools again. A cheap flight ends up costing three times more, and still not at my destination yet. Boo

Frontier Communications too many problems to mention

geeeeez where to begin. well, i ordered a bundles pkg online from them on aug. 2-3. received call and email from them informing me they would mail my stuff for the high speed internet part of the bundle and that everything else was good to go on the 5th. the 5th came and went. no service. not even the extra stuff on my phone was added.(call-waiting, caller id and voicemail) so, i called them again. they informed me the high speed internet was not available in my area and there had been some confusion. also, i was turned down for the dish network part of it too because i didnt have a large enough pkg with them to be elligible. well, i informed them i still wanted my phone pkg changed. they gave me a date of the 9th it would be taken care of. well, u guessed it, 9th came n went no new service. and i am still waiting for it. i have given up and making complaints to try to get it handled. thank you in advance

I totally agree. I have spent many hours on the phone with the customer service of Frontier. All though the reps were nice to me- the service itself is beyond inexcusable. I ordered the triple play package from Frontier. I got my satellite portion within a matter of days. However when it came to getting my phone and Internet. BIG ISSUES. After many calls and many weeks, I was told that internet is not available in my area ( even though the rep told me when I placed my order and paid my deposit it was). I had set up many service dates and every day the techs were a no show. I would call customer service again and every time I did- they never even had record of my account. I had to go through this each and every time I called. So now I do not have Internet. I was also told what my new phone number would be- and that was even correct. I am very unhappy I switched over to Frontier. Dish Network is fine and I have no complaints with them, but the general manager or higher ups from Frontier is getting a very nasty letter from me. I just started as a customer with Frontier and already being treated like this.

Frontier Communications erroneous charges for dsl

I agreed over the phone to a DSL promotion from Frontier two months ago. They have not honored their original promotional package fees and have erroneously billed me overcharges for three months’ statements now. Two months ago, the overcharges amounted to $137.20. Last month and this month, they amounted to around $20 each.

I agreed to try DSL for an introductory cost of $24.99 a month for High Speed Internet Lite and $4.50 for the modem rental. Two months in a row, they charged me $39.99 for the Lite package and $6.99 for the modem rental. This is not what was promised in a taped phone call or in subsequent calls. They have thus far refused to fully reimburse me for those overcharges. They also offered a $34.99 installation fee and charged me $134.99 on my bill. That $100 was taken off after two phone calls to two different representatives.

Frontier then charged me a late fee of $2.06 the next month for not paying their overcharges, and for no valid reason since I had paid my bill in full, the amount they told me to pay, by phone. After grossly overcharging me on my bill two months ago, the bill was adjusted down $137.20 (the amount of the original overcharges) and I paid that bill, so I was not late in payment. They still haven’t removed the other overcharges.

They also charged county, state, and federal taxes on amounts that were too high to begin with and I have not seen where any of those taxes were adjusted down.

When I received the first inflated bill, I called Frontier’s office “residential” phone number [protected]) and listened to scrambled menu messages that were almost impossible to understand for fifteen minutes until I couldn’t stand it anymore. Then I called back to the same messed up menu messages and waited another five minutes with no answer. I then called Frontier’s “business” number and after several menu choices, the phone went into a busy signal and no one ever answered.

I then emailed Frontier on their website “contact us” link, wrote about this experience and the overcharges on my bill, and I have not heard anything from Frontier by email or any other means from that correspondence. I again called the 800 “residential” number and I was put on hold for five minutes, with annoying harsh music and no promise of a person coming on, so I hung up. Since I had no way to contact Frontier, I wrote a letter which they also never responded to. I have now written another letter, and I have emailed both letters as well to their online customer service for my second time contacting them online. I also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

This month’s bill did show a credit of $11.50 under “Other Charges” and then the account was billed “$11.00” for “Subse Sv Order Chrg-Res NRC” under “Other Charges, ” so in effect most of the credit was re-billed in the same section. I have no idea what the charge or credit was for and there is no explanation. So I received one credit only to have it taken away, and with no intelligible explanation as to what it was for. And the bill still reflects the same overcharges.

In a time of cell phones replacing landlines, and during a down economy, I would think that good customers would mean something to companies. I am seriously considering getting a cell phone, satellite hook-up, and doing away with any services that require me to deal with Frontier. For two years, Frontier tried to get me to sign up for their DSL service. Now that I have, I have been treated very poorly by their company ever since.

I have had Frontier as my phone provider for almost 13 years and I am treated this poorly as a customer. Someone needs to do something about the way phone companies no longer treat customers as human beings, and how they fraudulently charge customers extra fees and then provide no viable recourse when they are caught. I would not recommend this company to anyone anymore.

We are having the same issues AND they want to charge us $250.00 two hundred fifty dollar cancelation fee on our phone and internet and said we had a two year contract but have no proof wither in writing or recorded verbally of this contract. I've NEVER heard of such a thing! Please turn this company in to the federal trade commision, BBB, consumer protection, Calif Public utilities commisioner (we're in Ca. by the way) at [protected] and the attorney general at [protected]. We are turning them in to ALL these places. They have been in trouble for this since 2003? Can't remember the article year but anyway, Also if anyone can help us out and put out a craigslist ad about the scams for frontier communications and encourage people who feel they have been cheated as well to also put in complaints to all these places it would really help to get this company in check. United We Stand, Divided We Fall. Thank You for helping

I moved from my residence on March 6, 2008. I cancelled services when I moved into my new home March 28, 2008. Frontier Communications handled my landline, internet and cable bundle package. After cancelling services Frontier continues to bill me for services on the cable portion only. When I call Frontier they blame it on the cable carrier they link with...

Frontier Communications stay away

Other than the problems we have with DSL every once in a while which reminds me of 3rd world countries here is my biggest problem with Frontier:

We got a CD with their modem and it was suppose to install the modem ONLY. What it did was, it installed like 3 or 4 different software packages WITHOUT asking me anything! I uninstalled all of them but one of them I can't find anywhere and it's still on my PC! Their company doesn't follow even a single principle mentioned here: http://www.google.com/corporate/software_principles.html

If you want to get a DSL or phone form Frontier be aware. I would stay away!

Frontier Communications unauthorized charges

Called company on 10/9/2007 to cancel my service because my financial situation has changed and I am now retired with very little income (I explained this to the rep) but rep informed me that I couldn't do that because my service was on a contract together with my internet. He said that I could save money if I cancelled my long distance. At this time I asked if I would be penalized and he said no. So I cancelled the long distance to streamline my bill. When I returned from my vacation on 10/28/2007 I found that my current bill was in the amount of $370.14 and last bill was $159.01. Instead of going down it went up. I was tagged a penalty fee of $200 plus. The supervisor said that to remove the fee I would have to add another year to my contract and go back to the package I had before the change. There was no compassion. The rep I spoke with said he wasn't illiterate when I questioned him about the procedure and the supervisor said that that was all she could offer me.

Frontier Communications unauthorized billing

The only land line telephone service in the Delta town of Rio Vista is through Frontier. We have lived with 5 years of FRUSTRATION with this phone company. When we first signed up for service we were billed $300.00 for the first month - August to September, but did not move into our house until the very end of August. When we moved from our first residence in Rio Vista, having been with the phone company 4 years, we were charged a $400.00 termination fee. For six months we tried to get by with just our cell phones, but recently decided we need a land line. Frontier is all there is in Rio Vista. We have been trying to get connected for over two weeks now. Frontier said they would apply a $300.00 refund we are owed to our new service. We still have no connection, and the 5th, 6th, 7th? person with whom we have spoken says there is no refund being applied to new service and we owe them $30.00. I don't know if this next statement is true, but I have heard that the city of Rio Vista will not let any other phone company into this area.

Frontier Communications early phone shuffoff

With prices rising on everything including the phone bill, I decided I needed to cut back on the phone services as my agreement was over. I thought about just keeping my prepay cell phone, but I found that Time Warner offered a better level of service than Frontier $20 a month cheaper. By switching, I would have my cable TV, Road Runner and Phone all on the same bill for only $10 more a month than I was paying for just my phone.

I wasn't porting my old number so I was instructed to discontinue Frontier. This was on a Tuesday, and I told them I wanted it terminated on Monday. The said okay. When I came home from work on Wednesday, I had no phone service. Did they think I wanted them to backdate the shutoff?

Personally, I think they did it on purpose because I was terminating service. Now Time Warner came upon a glitch that will delay my services for a few days, but it is not specifically their problem. I live in one township and the phone number is for the adjacent township. They have to program that flaw in their system so 911 will give the proper location. This problem originated with Rochester Telephone(absorbed by Frontier) back in the '60 s.

I'm a former customer. The billing cycles were always confusing. I never really knew how much I'd owe because I'd only get a bill if I was past due. The bills didn't show up at regular intervals. Frontier also doesn't offer online account services either. That's pretty embarrassing considering they are a telecom company.

Anyhow. They are sending me about 1-3 pieces of mail per week with various offers. I called the Customer Service and the woman claimed it's bulk mail and there is no way to remove me from the listings. So is that how they attract customers? By junk mailing them to death?

The digital phone essential plan supposed to offer 30 Minutes of Long Distance Talk Per Month*, Calling anywhere in the continental U.S. and rollover your unused minutes. I have been Switched to Frontier Communications for five month now, I did not make many long distance phone calls and should have about 100 roll over minutes now. However, Frontier did not give me the rollover minutes, but trying to charge me every long distance phone I made. I have been calling their customer support every month and trying to correct the problem. I am so tire of Frontier and trying to find a good phone service with a fordable plan.

im in the fairmount, ga area and i have there triple service bundle. this company is the worst, just simply horrible. i think the only reason they survive is most of there service area is in rural parts of the country with no competition. my advise for any frontier customers, in any part of the country, is to continually complain to your state public service commission. im in the process of getting new home phone service and wouldnt even think about trying to port, switch my tel number from them to the new service. im going to try and keep the dsl service only because there is no other option here. a suggestion, go to there website and sign into the customer chat option. after ending the chat session, wait a few seconds and youll be given the option of having the chat log sent to your email. have it sent and you have a record of what was discuused during the chat. then when the bills arrive with charges well above what you agreed to, youll have even more info to send to the public service commission.. make sure you ask what the total charges are for the service/s. total charges with all fees, surcharges.tarriffs, federal, state, local taxes, 911 charge. continually ask and have them confirm the total billing cost. my advise to anyone whos looking at this company is to NOT do it.

Frontier Communications poor service

I'd like to tell you a story about a work at home professional who lost a contract because of: 1) Poor billing practices, 2) Ineffective customer service reps, and 3) Incapable programmers/technicians.

Three months ago, I chose Frontier because I work at home and needed a reliable land line. After weeks of rescheduling appointments, their technical group was finally able to port my existing number and activate my phone line. At the time, customer service reps blamed my existing provider for the issues, and I believed them.

After using the phone for about two months, I noticed that I hadn't received a bill. Once again, I contacted customer service. The rep told me that my account was past due because their records showed an incorrect address. I contacted my bank immediately and authorized payment.

The same day I authorized payment, my phone stopped allowing long distance calls. At first, I thought it was a temporary outage. Then, a day or two later, I noticed that my long distance service was still not working and that my caller ID didn't work. I was outraged: I contacted the company and fixed its mistake and the company cut my service? I couldn't believe that I'd been treated in such an unprofessional and shoddy manner.

Before this fiasco started, I accepted a job to prospect for an IT firm. But, days after authorizing payment, I still had no long distance service. So, I pushed back the job's start date, relying on Frontier to fulfill its promise to restore service.

After staving off the start date as long as possible, I contacted customer service once again. Without being prompted, I provided a check number and verified that the funds had been removed from my account. During this conversation, the rep assured me that my phone would have full service the next day. I contacted my new employer and agreed to start the next day.

The next morning, I sat down at my desk to start work, and (no suprise!) my phone didn't allow long distance calls. So, ONCE AGAIN, I contacted customer service. And, ONCE AGAIN, the rep assured me that I will have full service - within the next thirty minutes.

I wait thirty minutes and then some, but my long distance still did not work. Then I called customer service again to no avail. I tell my story to another wonderful, polite customer service rep who is completely unable to solve my problem.

My issue is still not resolved. Because I have no long distance service, I will probably lose my job. And how could I blame my employers? They have every right to expect a productive, capable, reliable business relationship.

Evidently, this rule doesn't apply to phone service.

We were switched from Verizon to frontier about a month ago. Since then we have had nothing but problems. No ""On Demand" movies work, and as of today we have had no internet for 5 days. I have called at least 8 times. They just don't show up to fix it. They don't even call. And when I call I get shuffled around to different departments. It is maddening! We run a business out of our house and we cannot send or receive email. Today they said they are trying to fix it internally; but, I won't hold my breath!

Do not get Frontier service it had been a nightmare for me even since they took over for ATT 2 years ago. They are lazy and don't want to deal with customer. Several times I call to have issue resolve and all they do is transfer you without saying anything, when you get transfer it all over the country and everyone tells you something else. The over charge you and it hell to get your money back and the equipment does not work right. I got the service over a year ago and every month since they I have to call them about my home phone stop working... They are a horrible company and should not bein business.

Don't feel too bad. I just got Frontier service and someone here may end up in jail because the service is not working right, and you must have a local land-line for home-detention instead. If the phone doesn't work, the officers monitors won't work, home-detention will get denied, and this sweet, wonderful person, (who just had driving offense and went to report a robbery in progress, and got arrested in the process) may have to do jail time instead! 99% of the time all we get is static. All the phones are new and have been tested in other places, so we know it's the company!

Last Saturday, I was on the Internet and got disconnected. I picked up my phone and had no dial tone. I sent my hubby over by the neighbor to put in a trouble ticket at repair, by the way frontier's repair service is just HORRIBLE, you really need to look in to it. I was told over and over that there would be someone coming out THAT DAY to fix my service and on Wednesday, I was still calling there. I finally called cunsumer relations, and got a nice woman named Cheryl, and she had my service restored within minutes. I was also told that my account would be credited for $25 for all the inconvenience I went through, I do work from home and lost money. Can you please make sure that my account does get credited? Also please look into your customer repair service, they are terrible, each person gave me a different answer, and I must have called there over 20 times using my husbands trac phone, which by the way also cost me money because I had to buy minutes for it, in order to use it.

Frontier Communications deceptive practices

I recently upgraded my telephone service to include high speed internet.

The sales representative told me it was available in my location, explained the costs involved for installation and monthly service and the requirement for a 12-month commitment, which carried a $200 fee for cancellation). I agreed to all of this.

Almost as an afterthought, the sales representative asked if I wanted to add unlimited long distance service for a marginal additional cost, then explained the cost and features. I agreed to the addition. Note that the sales representative did not state that the long distance service was included in the 12-month commitment or identify any "package" or "plan."

In the past 60 days, my frontier communications bills have totaled $365+, a long way from my previous $26/month local service bull. I was willing to spend the extra $55/month for high speed (dsl) internet, but the additional long distance charges put it over the top at $111/month.

The friendly folks at Frontier now tell me that ANY change in service will incur the $200 cancellation fee and maintain that I was told this when the upgrade was ordered. My service is not part of a definable "package" and no "price guarantee" is associated with my service - a common feature of package plans available with Frontier Communications. End of story.

If you order via telephone, be aware that you do not get to read the fine print and what the sales representative writes down is gospel according to the company. A clear and definable contract is never part of the process and you have no recourse.

I was billed on my July Frontier bill for calls made in April and May to Cadiz, Oh from a company called USBI. I have unlimited long distance on my phone plan. I am not sure what kind of scam this company is pulling but I am not falling for it. Frontier removed the charges from my bill but I feel this is something that needs looked into.

"I'm going throught this right now! Frontier Lied to me! even though I ordered online and have printed receipts" I am wondering what receipt you are talking about? I work for Frontier Communications and the company has no such system where you have the option to order online. When you input your information through the website and submit it that information is kicked back to a sales rep which in turn you will get a phone call for the rep to set up your service. Maybe you were dealing with a phony scam website? you should not of gotten a reciept of any kind, just a comfirmation that your request for service was submitted so it was sent to a rep. I sugges that before you call anyone in the company or liar you get your information straight, also you can consult your local Frontier Business office to determine this fake reciept that your recieved.
Switch to Verizon. the company doesnt want ### like you as a customer anyways.
Have a great weekend!

I'm going throught this right now! Frontier Lied to me! even though I ordered online and have printed receipts, I had to prove to Dish TV by Faxing my receipt to them! They stated they are having problems with Frontier overstepping the deals and offering more than agreed with with Dish TV, I got settled with Dish But even though I have the printed receipt Frontier keeps telling me there is no free mini computer in my deal, I faxed them the receipt! now I cant get any replies Only a 300 dollar bill that the deal I signed states $79.99 a month for one year with a two year contract.
THIS Is A typical BAIT & SWITCH!
If your thinking getting a deal from Frontier all ya get are false promisses and lies! Order online and printout ALL order forms! I'll bet like myself you'll have problems getting frontier to honor their end of the deal! LIARS
