Suddenlink Communications Suddenlink

When you enroll for internet service, they add some services for free that you don't want. Such as HBO. After while they start charging you for those channels without you knowing. Whole Suddenlink is a pure headache. They are not straight forward company. Constantly you have to watch their bills. Call them and talk to them. Not to mention their cellphone company Optimus.

Suddenlink Communications Internet

I have a residential and a commercial accounts in my residence. Lost internet completely. Called them and they came in the commercial account. Tech says “he cannot find a connection to my house” even though I have head services there for almost five years. Then he leaves a cable, exposed, across three neighbors houses, they say they will come to bury it in 48 hours. It has been over two weeks. The worst customer service I have ver seen is for Suddenlink. The only redeeming feature was their service was half decent, but not anymore, flaky at best.

Desired outcome: I need them to do their job and bury the cable before I lose internet again and can’t work

Suddenlink Communications my internet service

06/11/2022 1900 hrs.

My Internet service keeps going out today. I have called several times and only got the automated robot to talk me through rebooting my modem... over six times in two hours... NO LUCK. Finally the robot asks me to provide my pin number which I don't have because I went paperless. But I can get it online! HOW DO I DO THAT WITH NO INTERNET? WHAT A STUPID WAY TO RUN A BUSINESS. Funny the robot finds my account from my phone number but still cant identify me. From now on I will require mailed invoices and not ever go paperless with these people. After mentioning I had no pin I was finally transferred and put on hold. I waited over 1 hour for someone but no luck. I am extremely dissatisfied with this company and its very plain to see why their customer satisfaction ratings are in the basement.

Desired outcome: Better customer service. And the ability to talk to a real person instead of a preprogrammed idiot that will not allow you to be transferred to a technician who can help.

Suddenlink Communications Modem return

We cancelled our suddenlink account and returned the modem on April 19, 2022. We have a receipt for the modem. The person stated that we have an additional modem to return, but we have never had 2 modems. We only have 1 residence. I called [protected] in the beginning of May and the nice man said that sometimes it takes a while for the modem charge to be removed and that our service would continue through May 6. Now I see a bill for an unreturned modem due on June 17. I don't know how to resolve this issue.

Desired outcome: Modem charge removed

Suddenlink Communications Extra charges on bill

I have been having issues with the internet and dropping and looking for IP address constantly. Therefore, I called to have it corrected. I get a bill with a service fee, tax on fee and now a late fee. I was not told that I would get a charge to have someone to come out to fix the problem with your services. The work that was completed was on a pole in drive way. Now I have to pay for the fees and still have the issue with the dropping and buffering and you still want to charge me service fee if I call. I think I may have to go back to the my old service provider since I feel like you want to steel money from me for services that is poor.

Suddenlink Communications Cable

Since at least Jan. 2022, I have complained to Suddenlink time after time regarding my audio cutting out for approx. 1-2 seconds. Additionally, the pixels will create a line across the screen occasionally. This happens repeatably and more often at night and when some big special event is being aired.

Suddenlink has sent tech after tech to my home, changed power supplies, changed connectors, replaced splitters, etc. The techs have told me that everything at my house is working properly and that the issue must be downstream. No one can fix this problem and they will not escalate the issue up the ladder.

So fed up with the lack of customer support from Suddenlink.

Desired outcome: FIX THE PROBLEM.

Suddenlink Communications Home phone service

Service got disconnected on 6/1/22 during conversation with one of your representatives. Drove to Russellville, AR to Suddenlink store and an appointment was set up for 6/6/22. Tech came by & changed modem & discovered that phone number had been changed. I need the original phone number re-issued because of some medical issues which require a heart monitoring system that is programmed into [protected]..

Desired outcome: Change phone number back to original # [protected] immediately 6/7/22

Suddenlink Communications Technician

Vilentz Rosanat was a technician that came out today to assist a resident at the retirement home I work at. I am the receptionist here, and he continuosly disregarded my conversations with others and interrupted me. He was also quite rude and just unwelcoming.

Suddenlink Communications Service/billing for internet

I am still having issues with my internet dropping regularly. I called and they sent out a tech. Which changed the box which I rent from Suddenlink. I was still having the same issue about a week later. So, my husband called and they sent out another tech. They found a twist in the line on the pole out side. Then I get my bill last month (May bill) and there was a service fee plus tax on it. Therefore, I called again about the charge and the man told me he would remove the charge and all I owed was my normal monthly payment (70.26) So I pulled up the bill again and noticed that the service fee is still on my bill. I called again and the lady states to me that I should have been told to pay the entire bill and then Suddenlink would credit me. I told her I think not. That she should remove that fee and she said I would get a late fee charge also. She said she would put the note in my account. I pulled up my bill for June and the fees are still there. I have posted this on BBB as well. My next stop will be the NC Utilities Commission.

Desired outcome: I want my bill to be corrected. Remove the service fee / Tax on this fee and any late fees that were added to my account. And I want a bill show it was completed.

Suddenlink Communications False account set up in my name, refusing to do anything about the blatant fraud

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...

Desired outcome: A complete revamp of the entire internet racket... But id settle for getting service that i am trying to set up as the HOA's turns a nice profit off of your "exclusivity" payments to make sure yours is the only available service...

Suddenlink Communications Autopay taken Off Account

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

Desired outcome: Late payment removed and credit account. Credit for week of No Internet service.

Suddenlink Communications Overage charge

We do not get paper statements. On my email I noticed our bill was 2 times the normal cost - $366.00 FOR ONE MONTH of services that are supposed to be around $152.00. After calling I was told we had a very high overage of internet usage that was suspect to gaming... My husband and I do not game so we assumed someone had broken into our WIFI as it had happened previously. I was advised to call our WIFI service to change our password and call Suddenlink back about the bill once that was done.

I called and spent about an hour on the phone with our WIFI service as the tech walked me through the process. Password was changed and everything reset. I called Suddenlink back and told there was nothing they could do about my bill, it was used therefore had to be paid.

Very long story short, the time of the overage began Feb 15- March 15. Our kids gave us a new TV that streams TV. They guessed that was where the overage was from. In the meantime, ON THE SUDDENLINK WEBSITE it states the following, "As a courtesy to you, we will WAIVE ANY INCURRED CHARGES THE FIRST TIME YOUR ACCOUNT USAGE EXCEEDS YOUR DATA PLAN.

I have and asked for a supervisor to call me back 4 times... I received 3 call backs AFTER 10:30 PM-, one of which was at 11 PM yet we can't get anyone on the phone after their"normal operating hours" 9-5! We were in bed asleep at that time! I am being told by the techs there is nothing they can do.

Desired outcome: I want to be credited like they say they will do. I want forgiveness for the first ever overage we had and a way to make certain it never happens again!!!!!!

Suddenlink Communications Internet outage - customer service

When I got home on 4/21, I had no internet access and could not access TV or computers. There was no reports of outages on their site but I didn't have time to call to report. On Friday morning when I still had no internet, I went home for lunch to call. The site had "outages in your area reported" and when I tried to call the automated service confirmed the same thing and asked if I'd like a text/call when service was restored. I provided my number. Saturday AM I wake up with still no service but I receive a text saying service is restored and all is working but I need to restart my modem. After restarting, I still didn't have service. A call to customer service made me restart modem again while on hold before speaking to a person. I got a really nice person that checked everything and said there were still outages in my area. Thanked me for my patience and sent me on my way. A technician or crew was not offered. Sunday I still have no service and have now spent the whole weekend without TV, computers, or my kids access to video games. This is the longest I've been without internet with Suddenlink in 15 years outside of a natural disaster. I looked online to cancel my service but the button to terminate had been removed and a call again to customer service did not produce an offer to have someone come fix it but said that retention department only works M-F. Now I'm on my 5th day without service, finally got a retention person today while trying to work myself. At one point she rudely said "I heard you the first 3 times" but continued "doing her job" offering me a discount on non-existent service. I finally got to a person that said she could not offer me a discount for all my inconvenience and spending my weekend and cell data to access information all weekend and that I'd have to talk to billing. Billing would only offer me a $15 credit for the 4 days without service and said I'd have to talk to a supervisor. After waiting on hold for the supervisor to be "briefed" I was told I'd get a call back. Almost two hours later, Chivani from a Texas call center, called to say that since I'd already been issued a credit she couldn't issue another credit. I asked for the location of her call center, her bosses name, etc. She refused any other information and told me "she wasn't going to lose her job" and that she was the highest person I could speak to about my issues.

Desired outcome: I would like to be credited an additional $30 for the inconvenience, misinformation, wasted time, rude customer service and inefficiency of being offered a technician to fix this.
