without internet service for six days due to your mistake.
This past Tuesday September 11, 2017 I came home from work to find out that I have no Internet . I called your 800 number and I entered my information and the recording told me that my account was not paid the this month. Through your system a while ago I had set up "Auto Pay" to make sure that my bill is paid on time. For whatever reason the Auto Pay did not take effect. The recording said that if I pay my bill over the phone my service would be restored within 15 minutes. I paid it right then and there and waited 15 minutes. Still no Internet. I waited another 30 minutes, and still nothing. I called back and finally spoke to one of your Customer Service Reps. He said he will reset my Modem . After a few moments he said that he could not reach my Modem. Before I even called I tried to reset my Modem. Then Your Rep said that Optimum should not have disconnected me from the BOX and that he could set up an appointment for a Technician to come out to my apartment to solve the problem . He told me that the soonest one of YOUR technicians could come out to me was only on Saturday. I asked him, why I have to go three days without Internet service? He said that was the soonest someone could come out. SO, we set up an appointment for Saturday between 5:00 - 8:00 P.M. I left work early so that I would not miss the Technician because I was warned that if I am not home when they arrive that I would have to pay $80.00 for a service call. Saturday afternoon I received an Automated call from YOUR company stating that the Technician will be arriving that same day between 5:00-8:00, and again the recording said that if I'm not there when the Technician arrives that I will be charged $80.00 for a Service Call. As I said, I left work 2 hours early Saturday to make sure that I would be home when YOUR Technician arrived. Around 7:45 I called Customer Service to see when YOUR Technician would arrive. They told me not to worry that it was only 7:45 and they have another 15 minutes to get to me. I called back at 8:45 and YOUR Customer Service told me that they have no idea what happened to YOUR Technician but now I would have to schedule another appointment. So, after waiting three days and leaving work early and two or three times being told that I would have to pay $80.00 if I wasn't home when YOUR Technician arrived at my apartment on Saturday. YOUR Customer Service Rep told me the next available day for YOUR Technician could come to my apartment to fix my Internet service was the following Tuesday. Now that's SIX DAYS without YOUR Internet service(that I paid for). Tuesday around 11:00 AM one of YOUR Technicians arrived and saw what the issue was. What he told me was that ONE of YOUR TECHNICIANS (actually he said it was probably one of your Contractors) disconnected me from YOUR box at my apartment complex. After checking the issue, he said that my neighbor in apartment " 278 " cancelled their service the week before, BUT for some reason they disconnect my apartment "276" instead.
I do quite a bit of work from home, but due to your mistake, I couldn't work from home and lost quite a bit of money, also I left work early Saturday so I would not miss your Technician that was supposed to arrive between 5:00-8:00 which never showed or even call to say they can't make it, and to make me wait another three day without service is not acceptable. Again, 2-3 times you (Optimum) told me I would be charged $80.00 if I wasn't home at the scheduled time the Technician arrived. The right thing for you to do is pay me the $80.00 that you were going to charge me and to compensate me for the 5-6 days that I could not work from home, due to your company's mistake. Also the day that I went without service should be deducted from my bill.
I hope to get a quick response from Optimum.
Sincerely,
Victor Weigner

resolution with high bill
I am the case manager for an individual who has intellectual disabilities, but lives on his own. He managed to rack of over $1500 in on demand orders through his TV before cutting him off, not allowing anymore to be ordered. I've live chatted, emailed and been on the phone with representatives only to be told that nothing could be done other than to create a PIN that locks out that content. I'm not discrediting Optimum or there service. I am however disappointed that 1) my client was able to order up over $1500 worth of features before it locked him out. Why did it have to get so high? 2) That there is no way to remove the feature of even having on demand. My concern is that my client can tamper with the PIN and unlock it since he is the account holder and primarily uses the service. 3) Why isn't there a minimum payment to be paid to keep the service on? I know it's a lot to ask but they want the full payment by the due date or the cable is cut. With such a high bill, the situation with my client and is challenges and his standing a long time customer (5+ years) I would think some kind of accommodation could be worked out.
not service oriented
Today 9/13/17 I was suppose to have my cable installed between 11 and 2. At 2:10 I called and after a short wait I was told it would be between 2:45 and 4 before the installer would arrive. Question why no call from the company. I did get 3 calls at night a week before confirming the date and time. I advise the rep I wanted to change my installation to when I would be first, told no problem but it would be a different department to schedule this. When I was transfer to that department I was told it could only be 8 to 11. I ask can I please have it for 8 and the answer was no they needed 3 hours for a window. Guess they didn't want my business. Funny I had to pay in advance and will stop payment on credit card. By the way, no follow up from the company.
substandard technical support
I subscribed for Optimum cable and Internet in December 2016 and due to recurrent connectivity problems needed 6-7 technician visits between April and June 2017, excluding remote assistance. One technician removed the router from its locked storage; the 2nd one moved it to a different port; the 3rd one returned it to the locked storage; the 4th one changed the router; and the 5th one replaced the external cables and billed $80 for the visit. Two days later we lost connectivity, and I disputed the bill based on the principle that I didn't expect to replace cables within 5 months of connection, and the replacement didn't resolve the problem! A 6th technician visited, and 2 hours later we lost connectivity. Only a 7th technician eventually resolved the problem. Calls to customer service, e-mail enquiries and a letter to an address provided by a customer service rep to resolve the disputed bill elicited no response or a standard "the $80 fee is charged once a technician is despatched". Obviously Optimum technicians operate by trial and error guesswork with no regard to whether or not they resolve the problem.
RATING: F for substandard tech support and ineffective customer service.
installation gone bad!!
Optimum,
Called 7/29/17 to schedule installation of phone and TV and was scheduled on 8/9/17. One 8/8/17, receive a message in the pm that installation can not be done because number was not ported. Called back to reschedule on 9/4/17 in order to have number ported.
On 8/30/17, called to confirm schedule and if number was ported. Was told that installation is as scheduled and was transferred to Jerry (porting dept) who said everything is okay.
Waited the whole am on 9/4/17 and called at noon to ask about installation and was told number was not ported. Spoke to AEJ who provided porting dept number and asked that we call on 9/5 as they were closed.
On 9/5/17, spoke to F01, went thru the porting confirmation with us and rescheduled installation for 9/8/17. On 9/7/17, called to confirm installation and spoke to Nadine who said installation is scheduled and everything is okay with the number.
Called at 9 am on 9/8/17 to check installation. Haha! Guess what...according to Gia, someone cancelled installation.
WTF! If this is the type of service you get for an installation process, what is it going to be like when you get issues with your phone or TV?
optimum customer service
Have been dealing with internet issues since the end of July. Had technicians come out FOUR times to fix the same issues. The first tech came out and had to change our coax cables because there was something wrong with them but the issue was on Optimum's end. Of course the internet issues persisted and we had a tech come out a few weeks later and do the same exact thing! Didn't do anything different, except this time he told us the coax cable issue was once again Optimum's fault, but when the bill came there was an $80 charge! And of course, he didn't fix the issue! So not only can they not fix an issue, they lie to their customers.
tv search engine
I am an IT Professional and Vice President who has designed, programmed and maintained Search Engines for 30 years. I am thoroughly familiar with how Relational and Hierarchical Databases are designed and how they function. I have also been an Optimum customer for 10+ years. Your Search Engine is hands down the WORST I have ever seen. I have seen beginners produce a more logical Search Engine than yours.
1. Under the Browse Function for Sports, it does not list events by Date, your Search Engine is all over the place. You often have to scroll through 3 or more pages to find an event for the current day.
2. Under the Keyword Function, it also does not list events by date and often lists many items that are not relevant to the search and omits those that are. (type in NFL and you will get a potpourri of events that may or may not be relevant to your search. As an example I was looking for the Patriots game on Thursday night (Tonight) and I scrolled through the entire NFL database list and it was not listed. I had to frustratingly search other ways for 10 minutes before I finally found it. This would be unacceptable in the Business world. When people search for information they want at least a logical method of getting it and you Do Not supply this.
3. Your Sort and Filter Options are MEANINGLESS and useless. They seem to me to be there only to impress your uninformed customers rather than actually retrieve the data you are requesting.
In your instructions you ask for a resolution. I suggest you have Senior Management at Altice use the Search Engine and I have no doubt they will be as frustrated with it as I am. Then I suggest you fire the incompetent IT programmers and designers, who hastily put this garbage Search Engine together, as well as the manager who approved it and get to work designing a new Search Engine that is user friendly, intuitive and sends back data that is logical and helpful. I would also suggest you contact for help and assistance organizations such as Oracle, Microsoft or IBM that produce Databases.
poor poor customer service
Requested a copy of a prior year phone bill.. here is the actual exchange:
New party ('Enmanuel') has joined the session
Enmanuel: Hi, my name is Enmanuel and I will be assisting you today.
Enmanuel: How's been your day so far?
DAVID LEWIS: good morning How are you today
DAVID LEWIS: I am trying to locate a telephone number from my phone bill of 10/2016
DAVID LEWIS: How can I do that?
Enmanuel: I see. Don't worry, I'm here to help you. Did you try to locate the statement online?
DAVID LEWIS: Yes I did.. but it would not allow me to go as far back as October 2016
DAVID LEWIS: Sadly enough I am just trying to locate ONE telephone number
Enmanuel: I see. I'll be more than glad to go ahead and help you with this.
Enmanuel: Could you kindly confirm your full name, service address, and phone number for me please?
DAVID LEWIS: david a lewis..315 e 23 street brooklyn, NY [protected]
Enmanuel: Thank you for that information, David. Please, allow me a moment while I verify your account.
DAVID LEWIS: ok no worries
DAVID LEWIS: is there any other info you need
Enmanuel: For now this is okay. Just allow me a few more minutes. I'll come back with a solution for you. Thanks for your patience. :)
DAVID LEWIS: ok
Enmanuel: Thank you for the waiting time, David. I was double checking and having your bill would not solve your concern due to on this is not included your Phone number. However, I'll be more than glad to connect you with the 'Phone' department, so they can provide you the information you need right away! :)
DAVID LEWIS: I am confused by your answer
DAVID LEWIS: my phone bill internet and cable are all connected to Optimum
Enmanuel: I'm sorry I might not have been clear enough for you.
Enmanuel: Yes, we are the providers of all your services, however, your phone number is not included on our customer's monthly statements.
Enmanuel: Therefore, seeing your bill would not let you know the phone number you had by that time.
DAVID LEWIS: so does this mean I am paying you monthly for services that I do not have. I have had this telephone number for the last 20 years
DAVID LEWIS: please please ell me how I can get the information I seek
Enmanuel: Just to confirm, I understand you want to know the telephone number you had in October 2016 right?
Enmanuel: So, this is why you want to see the statement from that month, is that correct?
DAVID LEWIS: This is so frustrating. I have been here now for almost 30 minutes and you are actually making a mockery of my inquiry.
DAVID LEWIS: I know my telephone number it is [protected]
DAVID LEWIS: It has been my household number for over 20 years now
DAVID LEWIS: I am respectfully asking for a copy of my phone records of october 2016..
DAVID LEWIS: Please please understand I am asking for a copy of my phone records my phone bill of October 2016
Enmanuel: I see. I'm really sorry I did not understand your request. My apologizes.
DAVID LEWIS: can you help me.. are you going to help me
Enmanuel: Yes, I am. Just a moment please. Thanks for your patience. I know it's been a long time.
Enmanuel: Thank you for the waiting time. Now, I'll show you how to have what you see.
Enmanuel: Please click on the Option 'Pay bill', it's displayed on the top of the screen.
DAVID LEWIS: I am just so confused here
DAVID LEWIS: Are you a robot or a real person
Enmanuel: I am so sorry Mr. Lewis, I do not mean to confuse you though.
Enmanuel: And no, I am not a robot, I'm an actual person.
DAVID LEWIS: I do not need to pay my bill
Enmanuel: I know you're not trying to pay your bill.
Enmanuel: What I want to do is to help you find the bill for October that you need.
Enmanuel: So let me guide you step by step how to find it online.
Enmanuel: Are you current logged into your account?
DAVID LEWIS: I think you are being very disrespectful here and wasting my time. You are very aware that your online system does not go back to october of 2016 and therefore the reason I have reached out to you
Enmanuel: Mr. Lewis, with all due respect, you are actually able to do so, and in the event that for some reason it does not, I can have that requested for you.
Enmanuel: I was able to confirm that you should be able to view it online.
Enmanuel: That's why I am trying to guide you through it.
Enmanuel: My apologies if that caused you any disrespect at any level, as it was not the intention.
DAVID LEWIS: I have already logged unto my account and I have followed all of the steps to retrieve past records. your system has already informed me that I cannot retrieve that particular bill.. it is too old. I have reached out to you for help. I have now been back and forth with you for over 30 minutes and all you have done is given me the poorest customer service I have ever received.
Enmanuel: I am really sorry to know you feel that way Mr. Lewis, all I've been trying to do is to help you right now.
Enmanuel: I am certain that we can get this resolved, if you allow me to work with you.
DAVID LEWIS: You have not only wasted my time but you have proven to me that I need to change my cable service. which I surely will.. It is such an injustice to receive such blatant horrible customer service.. Please Please I beg of you if you are not able to help me switch me to someone who can
DAVID LEWIS: I have copied this entire conversation and I am going to file a complaint. as soon as I get off I am going to forward this to the CEO of Optimum because it is just no way that a customer should be subjected to this level of customer service
Enmanuel: Mr. Lewis, I can definitely assist you, but only if you allow me to do so. I understand that you are concerned about the situation and time this conversation has taken. But I reassure you, that you allow me to help you and follow my instructions, we can get this resolved.
DAVID LEWIS: Can I please speak with a supervisor
Enmanuel: I am sorry but from our end we are not to escalate to a Supervisor, and this is also something we can take care of in this interaction. Should you need to speak to a Supervisor, you can reach our customer service lines at [protected] and request to speak to one.
DAVID LEWIS: Ok. Thank you
DAVID LEWIS: Have a great day

rate increase without my approval or request
Hi,
This is Bebin George and my optimum account# is [protected].
There is an recent increment in my regular monthly plan where i didn't requested for it. Even i haven't approved any to increase the rate in my monthly plan. I spoke to customer care when i saw the rate increase in my last month statement and immediately called the customer service and told clearly to take steps to bring or revert back to original price. Still there is no actions taken on it. Again i am confirming here that i don't want to upgrade my plan or i don't want to pay more. If you can't do it, please let me know in advance and i am happy to disconnect the optimum connection.
Again I m not interested with any upgrade and end up paying more.
Thanks,
Bebin George

total lack of customer service.
Speed test revealed I am only getting 5.56 Mbps download speed.I called Thursday. Optimum couldn't get anyone out till Saturday. The tech that came out admitted there were problems and everything needed to be rewired and asked if it would be alright to come out at 11:00am today, Sunday. He never showed. Waited for 3 hours and called Optimum to find out Tech#6652 closed out the ticket without doing anything and "Kirk" said the tech's can't just reschedule an appointment like that. So now, they can't send anyone out till Tuesday. Meanwhile I am losing valuable work time. When I asked to speak with a supervisor, the tech 'Kirk' said these type of problems can't be escalated. I am beyond angry at the total 100% lack of customer service.
lost service. all. phone. cable. internet.
We lost service for no apparent reason yesterday, August 24. We called and made an appointment for a service call for today, August 25. The original time was between 10am and 8pm. When we called to check The first time given was 3:00 pm. The next time was 5:00pm. Now they are saying 8:55pm to 9:55 pm. I have small children and I am NOT happy. I also have an elderly parent in a nursing home and they contact me through my home phone number with any issues. This is not possible now with having no phone service.
We have been an optimum customer for a long long time and I do not appreciate the way we are being treated. They just apologize and say someone will be here. This is NOT good service. If they cannot handle a problem such as this, then they need to be asked why we pay such a large amount. Maybe they need to be looked into by the proper consumer protection board.
I need someone to contact me immediately on cell number [protected] to tell me what the next step is.
Thank you

charge for wrong cable box sent through the mail.
I mid-july, I asked cablevision to replace my cable box. The local office is out of my way so I asked them to send me the box. I was told it was free shipping and return. After the call was ended I was sent an email saying i'd be charged, but i'd get a refund on return. They sent the wrong type box which came while I was on vacation. I eventually had to go to the local office to switch it. I now find that i've been charged for use of the box from the moment it left them to my return at their office. They will not give me a credit for the "use" of the box even though it was the wrong one. They offered me services I don't need instead which I took reluctantly. I'd rather the refund.
This is not customer service. I spoke with an agent, her manager, and his manager. You tell someone during the call that they will be charged. The reply was that I should be happy with the rate i'm getting.

customer rep
I have been a loyal customer for well over a decade. Apparently, that means nothing to your company. Unless, the customer service representative that I spoke to was incorrect.
On November 18, 2016, when I moved from Pompton lakes to Riverdale. I had an appointment scheduled for that day. Your rep came unprepared to do the connection and left after doing nothing! Therefore, I scheduled another appointment for November 19th. He came and did the connection. Then, I was having great difficulty with my internet connection. I called, mentioned that and your rep suggested that I have yet another rep come to fix the issue. That rep came, adjusted things only to inform me that I have an insufficient laptop which is only a year old, and I should purchase some sort of adapter. Then I get my bill only to see a charge of $80./90. for the 3rd guy to comeback. November18th was my birthday and a Friday. I spent that day home waiting-because I had a 3/4 hour window- plus I had to take the day off from work! Then, I had to wait again the following day. And, then I took a half day off on Monday only to wait again for your rep and be completely disappointed and dissatisfied!
I was going to let this go, but I'm going to cancel my cable and possibly the internet services and feel I am due much more for my loyalty as a consumer and the time lost from work as well as a refund for the final service call.
Thanks for your time.

so true
billing invoice-
A Payment Amount: $196.82 was made 7/28 C, but somehow a second payment was allowed fro the same amount on 7/29 Payment Amount: $196.82 . I have attempted to get a refund for this over-payment of $196.82 since 8/3, and have spoken with 4 supervisors, all promising the refund was escalated, and payment would be in my account by 8/5 the latest. I spoke with a Supervisor Fred Gonzalez [protected]) @ 2:25pm, and he reassured me that the refund would be in my account by Saturday 8/5..this was his personal guarantee. I asked him what happens if it is not in my account, he reassured me that is not possible, it will be there. I called [protected]) at 9:11am on 8/5, advising the refund was not there, and escalated to 3 supervisors, and last spoke with (Andre), who would not provide his last name..he advised that there is nothing he could do, and to call him on Monday if it is not there by then. I advised that this was unacceptable, I asked that he notate the log that I am making a comp[any Presidential Escalation, and asked that his manager call. He advised that he thinks that manager(Joe-he would not provide a last name) would be in at noon. I doubt that Andre will move on this, and I would like to know what Optimum intends to do as far as the financial burden I was now placed under. This issue left me with almost $200 less in my account, which was a
major financial burden and an inconvenience that prevented me from addressing several financial commitments. I am very unsatisfied with the process of reimbursement..you can take our payment in seconds, but it should not take 5 days for a return.

modem charge

Received bill including a new modem charge. Two phone calls and chat session waste of time. New customers get a much better deal than long-time customers. Customer service told me we have the best deal available - "sorry".
What are you thinking? I owned a business for 25 years. If I treated my clients like this, I would have lost a good percentage of them do to bad attitude. Check your records. How long have I been an on-time paying customer.
Optonline has a problem that email spamming won't fix.
Imaging losing a 20+ year client over a $4.95 service charge that just appeared because the government restriction has expired. Wow!
Somebody needs to start paying attention before the ship sinks.
I also called about the additional $4.95 and was told it's a charge for using their modem but if I supply my own and return theirs, then that monthly charge would be removed. Come on folks... !
billing of installation
To Whom it may concern,
I have been a customer for over 10 years . I have two residents in where I have service from you guys. My recent location to where I'm experiencing the billing issue is at 525 Jackson Ave Bronx NY 10455 apt 9M. I recently requested for service and received it on May 29th 2017. I was instructed to have a money order ready for the technician in order to receive service. I gave him a money order for the amount of $195.00, unfortunately due to the moving and sort at the location I lost my copy of the money order and work order. Needless to say, when I received my first bill, it never reflected the amount of 195.00 dollars for the installation. When I called your company to require about this matter, I had the opportunity to speak with 5 different representatives. Out of 5 representatives, three representatives made me feel totally uncomfortable and very shameful that I didn't have a copy of my money order and pretty much threatened me that my service will be interrupted. As of today, I have been keeping up with my payments on both accounts and wish for your department to please find the work order and money order that I have given to your technician. I was notified by one of your representatives (Melissa) that she see the work order and amount indicated but she didn't understand either why this matter is taking so long to be resolved due to the fact that we all now, Cable vision doesn't turn on service until that first initial payment is received. This matter has been going on for over a month now and I will really like to it to be resolved without feeling threatened that my service will be interrupted and its not my fault.
Thank you for your time and consideration and hopefully I will here from someone soon. My contact info for this matter and account is [protected] I can be reached at anytime.
Thank You.
incorrect bill-misleading information and unprofessional customer service
1. During the June pay period I was charged $244.07 for the services which I didn’t use. In my numerous attempts to talk to customer service and billing I explained to them that I used only Internet services.
2. Chat services is not qualified to provide detailed answers on my questions. I have 2 attempts to contact them.
3. The representatives failed to timely downgrade my services, therefore any time issue can be attributed to poor qualification and communication between billing, customer service and downgrade services department.
4. In the middle of June I received a letter stating to payment of $48.69 in order not to get disconnected. The letter did not provide any additional details. This was done on 06/23/17.
5. Meanwhile I worked with your departments to find out of how to downgrade services and lower my bill. This was difficult due to multiple attempts to transfer from one department to another.
6. Please note that I cannot spend more time due to documented mental disorder. Therefore, I experience financial difficulties.
7. Finally, in the week of June 10th, the downgrade department informed me that in order to lower my bill I have to send back equipment which was done and confirmed by Cablevision on 7/17/17.
8. The billing department refused to retroactively lower my bill stating about payment of $48.69 I put myself in agreement. Please note I did not know about any agreements. Making such statements is consider putting a loyal customer in disadvantage and purposely misleading.
9. Please note that Cablevision/Optimum is responsible of how their system working to the best of customers not of the Optimum.
10. Billing manager Mario with operating ID “mqk” refused to help me showing poor customer service. He refused to provide accommodations for the person with disability.
11. Suggested outcome: adjust bill payment to the current bill to 82.83 (including taxes) for 2 months totaling of 165.66 minus 48.47 which was paid on 06/23/17. This will adjust the bill to 117.19 instead of 195. 38. The next monthly statement will be $82.83.
12. Please note that all responsibility of delay of payment 45 days past due or anything else happened due to unprofessionalism of chatting and customer service who failed to provide reasonable advice on timely basis.

optimum triple pay
I could no longer afford the bill so I decided to disconnect. 7/7/17 I returned my equipment and payed my bill. The agent in the your Lindenhurst location in formed me, although I returned the equipment and paid my bill I would still be charged for an additional bill at or around 8/8/17. I made a complaint and the response was, I could still use the service. Nice game Cablevision is playing with long time dedicated customer.
I was a long time customer for decades and I am convinced the integrity at which you treat your customers is lost.
cable internet
I called Cablevision on June 3 rd to transfer service due to moving but was unable to as the company did not service new address. As a result I requested disconnection for ac07875284519075. I was told that only my spouse could disconnect as he was "account holder"
I explained there had to be error, I was the person who called Cablevision in January to create account, signed off installation, my contact details and paid bills every month..Per usual I simply add my spouse as joint holder.
Other issue, I called back July 1 say prior to move asking if I could deliver equipment nearby. I was advised I would still be billed until my spouse returned.
MY spouse called on June 3rd upon his return. At that point we were told company policy is 30 day billing month based on billing period (July 1) even if disconnection was on day 2 of bill period in our case.
Had I been able to disconnect when I called in June I wouldn't have incurred charges for full month of July for service I did not use since July 2 upon moving.
I explained that since cable vision clearly didn't apply me as proper ac holder we should verify that I was correct person who established service. I was told nothing could be done about that.
I have spent hours calling, multiple transfers, escalating to supervisors..each rep responds same robot fashion.
Apology with multiple policy repetition.
I'm very disappointed how this had been handled, as such, I will never use cable vision again..
I made it clear so could only pay for the days I used service through July 1..not other 29 days after I moved..its a shame cable vision says they will pursue collections when they handled this matter so poorly..seems the company cared more about robbing customers for service they did not use than using common sense..
Very disappointed
