reviews & complaints

Tried to set up service in Texas, was told I have an accive account somewhere in Louisiana. When informed I have never even been there, let alone setup service, they said it would be handled and went on to get service set up where I was originally trying too. The next day I am bombarded with a slew of emails saying I owe serveral hundred dollars on the Louisiana account and they werent going to set up service (dispite taking my money to do just that just the day before.) they can produce zero record of me making the Louisiana account, zero call records, zero payments, zero internet purchase agreements or anything. Yet still insist I pay for something I have not recieved, nor will they cancle the service to the fraud account because "im not authorized." How am I not authorized? Its "my account" so you are claiming... Seems its only "my account" when it comes to trying to get a payment...

I recently was sent a statement that said I had a past due bill. I knew this couldn't be because I'm on Autopay on my account. Upon signing into my account my autopay was not there so I thought that my Credit Card had expired but that was not the case, it expires in 2026, but the auto pay was removed. So, I paid that bill and resubmitted the same Credit Card for autopayment. I called Suddenlink to ask why this happened again. This has been done to me before and the lady said I must have made changes to my account and I informed her that I did not. She was not going to remove the late fee and I asked to speak to a supervisor and she put me on hold for 10 min or so and said she would give me credit on next months bill. I do not understand why Suddenlink does this and blames the customer. This really infuriates me that this is how yall treat your customers. I told her to look at my previous payments and they are ALL AUTOPAY. We recently experienced a storm and I called to get a technician out because the power pole with Suddenlink attached was broke in half and laying in the road. The Power company installed a new pole within two days. It took over a week and two no show appointments and the third appointment the technician wasn't qualified to do the work. I specifically asked for a qualified technician to do the work at the pole because the wires were laying in the road. The county inspector came out and this was day 4 after the storm and Suddenlink lines were still in the road and he said that was unacceptable. He made a phone call and A technician was here within 30 mins. It is so frustrating to work with such a difficult and unreliable company. I asked for credit for the week with no internet and didn't receive it. If I hadn't been home for the no show appointments, I would have gotten charged for not being here. I am looking into cancelling my account and find other companies that appreciate your business, Suddenlink has to be the worst company I have ever dealt with. May be time to write the FCC another complaint . Suzanne Blanton

I have call and went in to the office several times. I have a new construction home in a gated community. First time the line was laid .above the ground. They came back and put the correct line down. The line sit above ground for three weeks. Then the crew came and Did not have the proper equipment to dig nothing but a snow shovel.it has been two months. The supervisor has did nothing.They came and did my dirty work for my grass and I put the line in the ground my self.

All of a sudden our data useage has started going up. This past month my bill was $60 more. I called Friday 4/15/2022 and spoke to a man named Ahmed. He was very rude, threatened to hang up on me. I wanted, and still want to know, how much data Suddenlink says we used each month for the past 6 months. He told me he wasn't allowed to tell me that.

I will be filing a complaint with the Attorney General and BBB. This is ridiculous and very poor customer service. The billing is shady in my opinion. I have spoken to people in Little Rock and other towns that have different internet services, their billing is very itemized and approximately $70.00 a month cheaper than ours.

My Cabel bill keeps going up and my cable service isn’t changing.You call them and sometimes they will drop it some and then it starts going back up,but my packages stay the same.Even after they cut some of my packages and cut my bill the next month it started raising again.

Guess I am going to have to take my business somewhere else(soon)

Also have cut a lot of channel out that I was getting.

I moved back into my home from a Fire on August 21, 2021 and as of March 20, 2022 still no Cabel: This is the message I was sent to day about the Cabel Service: It is Coded As I can see, the status is still showing pending. I would like to inform you that you can reschedule the appointment as per your convenience but only after the 24 hour window gets over. I want to apologize on behalf of the last technician who missed the appointment but please be assured that this time you would not get disappointed.

I did not receive a bill this month and I did not receive a bill last month either . I just noticed these two missing bills today as I was reviewing my check book. I called and made a payment through their automated systems and now I am being charged with over $30 in late fees. The password and username I set up on their website will not recognize me and I am unable to speak to a live person .

I never set up services to pay online, nor has Suddenlink contacted me about the late bills either even though my email address and telephone number is available through the Suddenlink internet account I set up. These are the only bills missing from my mail so I know it was not mail theft.

I have Suddenlink on stopping the paperwork that you send me! It is going on since last year that I have tried to go paperless! I don’t want anymore paper bills! Then you started charging me for a cable guide that I did not order!

So I get charged $1.00 for paper bill and $3.50 for the cable guide! So that is $4.50 each month charged to our account #7704! When I call it takes me forever to get this supposedly taken care of……. what is it going to take to correct this? I have also ask for HBO Max free for a couple of months for my trouble and the guy that I talk to always says no! If this is not corrected we are going to change providers! It takes time out of my day to call and try to get this fixed……

Thank You

Account # 07701-296444-05-1

Issue: Second after the fact_ Mack store manager directed the same account# that the agent told me write down and the account wasn't identified. He stated that he could not take my payment because of error of 147.59. I just received my bill to pay the past due amount of 147.59 but it is asking for 298.96. What I need is payment arrangements until my bill is completely paided because the error is from the company. We need payment center here in Waldo, Arkansas

I called Suddenlink today for the second time at 3:52pm on Friday, 3/11/2022, after a previous call about an hour and a half earlier about another issue. When I asked to be transferred to billing, after our conversation about the internet issues I was having, which had not been resolved as of yet, but an appointment was made for a tech to come out to my residence, the agent asked what was my issue with billing. I proceeded to explain to her what the issues were, but she would only repeat what she had said before, not answer my specific questions. She would wait VERY long periods before responding, then when she began to speak, it was a repeat, and not answer my question still. After several attempts of this, I would just state the answer I thought it was, then asked, "right?" or a request a specific yes or no because it was clear she was not wanting to cooperate with me. She would not even do that.

I told her if she didn't know the answer to just say that so I could ask another representative. She wouldn't do that either. When she spoke, it was usually when I was speaking. I would listen to her whole response, but she not only would interject while I was speaking, but talked over me! I asked her to give me the same consideration I was giving her. Not to mention I had to stop talking because her dogs were barking so loudly on three occasions that I had to literally stop speaking in order to regain thought to continue my sentence. Also, I let her know I was on the EBB program, and that I spoke with the rep originally with this information and my monthly credit amount, so I didn't understand why there would be more than that charged to me. After I decided it was going no where trying to speak with her, I asked her name. She would just sit on the phone in silence, I asker her again, and a third time, but no response. The call was still connected then, so I told her I would wait for her answer. After another pause, she hung up on me! I also work in customer service and know that she was displaying behavior that is quite contrary to what agents are taught. I was very offended that she was being so ugly, trying to avoid answers, and making me wait ungodly amount of time before answering--with only what she wanted to say about whatever she wanted, but not what I was even asking. I told her I wasn't told of a charge that she said I'd be billed for without any explanation or previous reference, but couldn't cancel service since I also work from home, She said she was going to have my service cancelled. I told her that I did NOT want that right now. She acted like she didn't even hear me and kept talking, (Just real winner ya have there working for you.) I am needing to know how to acquire the person's name or id number to report her. The conversation was bad itself, but hanging up on me just made it 10xs worse bc I asked for her name. I am new to Suddenlink, and not a big fan AT ALL now. Totally disgusted that people like this continue to treat customers as bad as they want. I don't need her name for myself, but would like the company to determine which agent performs customer service as a that reflection of Suddenlink.

Will knowing the specific time and date help determine for the company which rep was assisting me?

RE: account 07707-263830-14-0 - 314A S Haswell Dr, Bryan-TX 77803 -

On 3/7/22, Suddenlink called me to ask if I was moving and wanted to transfer service or cancel. Surprising call because the account is supposed to have been disconnected/closed since 1/3/2022.

Suddenlink has no records of my canceling internet services on 1/3/22 after the resident left on 12/31/21.

I have been billed January '22 + February '22 + March '22.

Spoke with various agents (very difficult to talk to a person by the way) + went to local store who told me they don't deal with disconnections, that I had to call. So back to phone. Chatted online with Mr. CristianG O on 3/7/22 who told me my account was disconnected. However, my online account shows the internet is still active. He told me to call.

After many attempts, I finally talked to Ms. Emily on 3/8/22 who was having trouble processing with my request? She said she would call me back but never did.

3/9/22 I called back and spoke with Ms. Pitike. Unable to assist + slight attitude. I asked to talk to her supervisor and Ms.Tian (phone rang about 30 times) responded after the phone rang about 30 times. She stated she could not nor be willing to help me: I could not cancel a service in the middle of the cycle, which I understand. However I know a new tenant moved in at the above address on 3/1/22 and apparently has contacted Suddenlink to connect services. It looks like Suddenlink is billing me for March services that I'm not using + is also billing the new resident = double billing. I don't think this is legal.

I explained to agents I was willing to "forget" about January and February bills. I can't prove I called on 1/3/22 except providing a lease contract.

But I'm requesting to void March bill (you can tell no internet was used between January and March 2022).

We have been Suddenlink customers for so many years, I can't believe my request is being ignored. I think this is a fair compromise and I'm asking you to review my request. Thank you.
