I work 6 days a week and Suddenlink understood that. I called suddenlink to confirm my appt between 5p-8p and they confirmed it was still set. At 8:46p I called customer service to find out if the tech was still coming and was on hold until 10p. The rep who answered said she knew I wasn't called about it and that the tech did not show up. She apologized and said she could reschedule for Monday... It's Thursday. I then explained to her how I was expecting this to be done today because I work 6 days a week with an unpredictable schedule. She then asks what does she want me to do? I asked her to refund me my money. Of course that department is closed. I also told her I would like to file a complaint. She disregarded and gave me the number to call and get a refund tomorrow morning. This company is 1 of 3 in my area, I will be trying Hughes out.
Called to restore my channels that they accidentally cut off on me now I can't watch them. I got to wait 4 days just to talk to some one else. This sucke going back to my other company.
Slow speeds (up to 20mbs down), regular service interruptions, and then this:
The outfit hiked the price of service without informing via email, phone, or snail mail about it, no statement has ever been sent to me either. Six months later, they disconnected service without warning and now want to charge late fees and re-connection fee.
I requested that the account was cancelled on Aug 12,2019, called back three days later (Aug 15) to verify but the account had not been cancelled, and there was nothing on the account about my request.
My service was down for days when Sudden link came out and got it back working by running a temporary cable in the street adjacent to the curb from a terminal box about a hundred feet away. This was on October 23rd, 2018, it is March 9th, 2019, and it is still laying in the street!
Do not even get me going on the slow Internet speed half of the time, not quite the scenario I was presented with when I signed up...
How do you tell if a Suddenlink representative is lying? When they speak!
I have been with Suddenlink for three months and have been lied to every time I have had a conversation with them. Customer service is non existent! After hours on the phone with representatives concerning billing and technical issues, they do nothing. They tell you something to appease you, then do nothing to correct the issue.
Their goal seems to be to force you to sign up for autopay so they can charge you whatever they want. Every time I talk with billing I get a different number.
They sent my first bill which I paid early and now they refuse to send me another paper bill and are now trying to charge late fees after I have called three times asking for and being told I would receive a bill in the mail. I was told I would receive 200 mbps and have yet to break high 90's. Scammers!
Reason of review: Problems with payment.
How in the hell can you guys still charge me the same amount when I cancelled my internet service and my damn bill is gonna stay the same. You guys are the biggest $#*!en joke I ever say no one should get your service at all
In North Texas, I have used Suddenlink around 20 years. This company is the absolute worst in customer service, out of the call center in Tyler, Texas. They promise this and that, and nothing ever happens. This new corporate owner of Suddenlink, is Altice, and they really suck. We don't even have a manager here to talk to. There is no one up the ladder who we can complain to. They just don't care, and I spend over $200.00 a month for their garbage...
I've had call you guys out to my house to fix my cable and each time the other guy messes it up even more. But you want to raise my bill higher than it's supposed to be. How bout you guys taking a big chunk off my bill or give me a month free for all the chaos that I'm having to go through with the cable guys messing it up every time.
We have been with SuddenLink for over 12 years. Have had many problems over the years, mostly the picture checker boards all the time.Our bill is now over $180.00 per month for the same service that used to cost $80. They give great deals to new customers but nothing for long term customers. Since we are seniors I would have thought there would be some sort of deal. Finally had to close the account today due to funds. I don't know how many people I talked to but no one would help.
Your agent Andre in Tyler is the best! He walked us through procedure we requested clearly--step by step. Very clear and concise. Best agent we have ever gotten at Suddenlink. You are very fortunate to have him!
Suddenlink owns there own in house collection company. "Usually the 1st scare tactic". Then at the start of the calendar year ( most common) any unpaid balances legitimate or not, are listed as write offs and reported to the IRS as such. The write off is then sold to a 3rd party collection company in which you have no obligation to pay. You have NO Contract with them - Period. UNLESS you respond and admit debt. That is how it works folks. The 30 day must respond non sense or "the debt will be considered valid" is smoke in mirrors scare tactics. Obviously if you are in serious debt, then seek a quality credit repair and service company, or legal assistance. I am posting this because as a former decade customer of Sudden Stink, I relocated, stopped service, paid my final amount. Three weeks later at my new address I receive a bill for $75.00, they claimed I had another modem issued to me, in my possession. UTTER Nonsense. "Buy we have it on record". I upgraded my Modem and picked it up at a local office and returned it. I went around and around, finally a supervisor said, case closed, no further bills or collections. A TEN Year Multi Service Paying customer! Yet $75.00 laid between SuddenStink and there collapse I guess. Case closed mid July 2017. What do I get in January 2018? You guessed it, a collection notice from a 3rd party agency. Knowing the Game, how it works, What am I going to do? Too bad the collection was not printed on toilet paper. POOR BUSINESS SUDDENLINK, ULTRA POOR!
Where I live Suddenlink is a high speed ISP monopoly. They offer all these low price bundles then pull the rug out from under you. I went from paying $20.00 a month to $109.00 a month. The prices go up and up. The services and quality however go down and down. There are no other options in area other than "bend over"
Suddenlink service is a ripoff. When you move you have to either pay for a full month of service or be without for the time your billing period ends and the time you move.
Sucks, they say one thing and do not keep their appointments they expect you to wait for them when they say they will come between the hours of such and such time thet do not show up and when they do they say they say the know the problem and will be back next day to fix the problem and never show up, trying to talk to the personnel dept takes forever and when you get them they are a bunch of liars also
Since reworking your tv amc and tcm is nothing but static thoughout the program the espn and other channels with sports is so enlarged the scores are off the screen horrible service never can contact anyone at tech service without a half-hour wait
This company, customer service, call center supervisors, agents sucks. I made my payment before my extention deadline and still they still disconnected my service, not to mention charging me the $ 10.00 disconnected fee and for not having service for two days. I have; spoken to numerouspeoplelike agents supervisers and chat and not gets fixed on there end just more charges and fees and god knows what else. I am switching companies and never dealing with this company. It is at a -10,000 for poor customer service, poor management, they dont know what they have or they tell lies. They cant even say the same lie or agree on the same lie... disappointed, upset, and angry
The only good thing about this horrible company is that there is no contract,,, but also no customer service, no decent wifi service and intermittent HD. TERRIBLE
I've been trying to my billing address taken care off called them on the phone and the customer rep are rude and very unprofessional but yet still want to change people services plan and not help the customer with there problem. I need to report them to some body that can get on sudden link and make them do there job. Oh you can't cause there the only internet provider in the state of West Virginia that is monopolizing the surrounding areas of Charleston West Virginia and they have no one to answer too. So if some has info that can help report them please share it
Suddenlink internet, WIFI and phone services are a JOKE! Please do yourself a favor and run away from Suddenlink services. If the house you want to buy is in an area where ONLY Suddenlink services are available, keep looking! I have had to learn the hard way and I don't wish any of this pain, frustration, terrible service, and outrageous price gouging that comes with Suddenlink on anybody. Suddenlink SUCKS!
THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD, THE HAVE TAKEN A PAYMENT OUT OF MY BANK ACCOUNT THAT I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. THEY DID NOT SHOW UP FOR 2 APPOINTMENTS THAT MADE ME MISS WORK. THEY ALSO REFUSE TO DISCONNECT MY SERVICE UNTIL THEIR BILLING PERIOD ENDS. I DID NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THIS.
My business has internet service with Suddenlink. We were given an IP address that was already being used by another business. We wrapped much of our network around this IP, but had intermittent issues as would be expected. The tech that said to reach out if we had any issues, would not, and has not responded. My Rep has not responded. I cant go to the local office, because they dont deal with businesses. I reached out to their corporate headquarters, and they passed it on to a business billing manager, but he wont return my several messages. The corporate executive service team wont help. This has cost my business quite a bit of money in excess of $1500. Suddenlink seems to not have a care for their business customer on this. I have an IT company, and we deal with carriers all over the country. This is definitely the worst customer service I have dealt with.
Answer: Would not hAVE DONE IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ALTERNATIVE.
Answer: It's impossible to speak to an intelligent person at suddenlink. I've even had them constantly put me on hold, while they figure out why I'm being charged five dollars for changes they made to my account. One time they called me back just to hang up on me.
