    Complaint: 23178955

    I am rejecting this response because:

    This company has unilaterally escalated the situation. Not only will they not fix my phone, but they have caused major issues with my **************** and charged me a $87 service fee for phone service that they have no been providing. I have called several times and spoke with ******** who advised that I find myself another Internet provider and that they will continue to add on charges and seek to put a lien on my property for unpaid bills. Instead of handling this professionally, they have acted like spoiled children and decided not to compromise in the slightest.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. **** ******

    ganization know that he's not doing the job.

    Upon thorough review of Mr. ******** complaint, we acknowledge that he experienced service issues with ******************. However, our investigation indicates that the interactions between Mr. Curley and our customer service team were conducted professionally and respectfully. We have no records supporting claims of belittlement or unprofessional behavior. Additionally, our technical support team made diligent efforts to resolve Mr. ******** service concerns. We are committed to providing all our customers with respectful and effective support.

    Complaint: 23178955

    I am rejecting this response because:

    1) I contacted them to ***ort that their **** line was not functioning properly.

    2) They gave me the 'run around', about how it isn't their problem its mine.

    3) They decided to add $84 to my bill in retaliation

    4) I contacted several of their billing people including ******** where I offered to pay half of this 'new' fee to which they stated that they would get back to me within 1-2 days to let me know whether that would be acceptable. I let her know (recorded) that according to Arizona law, you can't just come up with a new charge and expect the customer to pay for that. I have been paying my invoices all along and introducing a new charge such as $84 a month was exorbitant. I will still willing to pay half.

    5) I called a week later since I had not heard back. A note was written for ******** to call me to let me know whether my terms were acceptable. The *** *** stated that I would hear back from ******** in short order.

    6) Two days later I received a voice mail from ********, but she wanted me to return her call. We had discussed previously that if she was not able to get a hold of me to give me my answer on the voice mail since it was very time consuming to try and get her back on the line. However, I did call the company and once again, I was drilled by the *** *** who is "trained to handle" billing problems on her own and did not want to put me through to ********.

    7) Eventually ******** called me back and told me that ****************** can do "whatever they want" if they want to add an extra 'tariff' to my bill, they can do that and if I don't want to pay their (extortion) then I can find another Internet provider.

    8) I tried to explain to her that in the State of *******, you can't promise someone an essential service like Internet and then change your mind and decide to start charging them something considerably more. Please keep in mind that this ************ that I was paying for, wasn't even working properly at this point. She continued to drone on about new issues including ***** and his tariffs that have made it necessary for them to start charging customers, 'blah blah blah', I tuned her out and started using profane language to get her to stop such that I would be able to participate in the conversation as she appeared to be reading a 'treatise' on service from their ****. Instead of stopping, she continued reading as if I was a "prisoner of war" to which I used profane language again and ultimately hung up.

    9) I did find another Internet provider but I wanted to give *** another opportunity so I went to online chat (recorded) where I spoke to ******, another *** *** who just reiterated what ******** had said. I told them considering the substantive work they had done to install the line into my house, it would be unreasonable to lose me as a customer over $40 a month. She made it apparent that *** was going to stick to their guns and hold on to this new charge. I made an additional plea on their ******* site and their ******** site such that some other person from  Management might see how ridiculous this argument was and consider negotiations.

    10) Lastly, anyone that I have called on the **** line for the past two months I end up having to call again because the service is unreliable. I will be in the middle of a conversation with my Aunt and or with my mother and the person can hear me but I can not hear them or reverse. I had tried to reach out to their technical team where I perceived that they were not helping me, but blaming the problem on me and my equipment. I would not have changed service over that, however they added an additional fee on my invoice of $84 saying that they had forgotten to charge me, to which I assumed was retaliation for the complaint that I had lodged with the Better Business Bureau. They were not willing to budge on the new charge, they were not willing to discuss or compromise. It was "their way or the highway" as they say. Today I find out that they are terminating my services regardless. As a customer who has four degrees with a doctorate, I rely on high speed internet and a phone line. There are only two Internet providers in my area which make me believe that *** is taking advantage of their monopoly in desolate *************, ******* by extorting their customers into paying excessive fees that they charge on a whim and then terminating their services when the customer does not comply.

    Sincerely,

    Dr. **** ******

    Mr. ****** contacted ****************** regarding service issues, and our team made multiple efforts to assist. Despite this, his interactions became increasingly abusive. While we value all of our customers and strive to provide professional support, due to ongoing hostility and the breakdown of the customer relationship, services will be terminated effective May 19, 2025.
