  Point Broadband advertised that if I made a referral to their company, I would receive and my referral person would each receive $100. On Point Broadband website, went to the section of signing up a friend, it requested their email and the section was filled out, and installation was ordered. The signup was made from my computer because the new referrals had no internet. I referred ***** **** *** *** *********, each received acknowledgement that I had referred them to Point Broadband. After the installation we waited to receive the $200 for me, and *** to receive $100 and ***** to receive $100, none of us receive any money. I called several times to find out why none us had received the referral money. After numerous phone calls, they said none of us would receive the money because we didn’t use the “referral website” that was not apparent on the signing up the new customers. The Point Broadband website I used to sign them up only requested the new customers’ email address, and we assumed we were in the right website to sign up new customers.

  I am rejecting this response because:The response does not state the dollar amount of the credit.  I need to know the amount of the credit to agree to their solution to the complaint.  The credit would need to be:
  
  **** *** *** ********* $200

  Please confirm the dollar amounts for all parties involved.

  Our internet in my area was out for over a week prior to ******* **, on October ***h my internet stopped working again. I called and explained my problem and they told me it was due to nonpayment, even though I had a message from them saying that it would be turned off on October ****, so I though I still had a couple days, I accepted that, and I paid my bill on the **th, they then told me that it wasn’t the payment that was the issue, and they were going to have to “reconfigure my router on their end” and it should only take a couple minutes. Here I am the now, October **** and they still can’t tell me what’s going on, they will tell me one call that it’s because my payment hasn’t gone through and that’s why they haven’t turned it back on, and it should only take about half an hour, then 2 hours later I call back and they say it’s an issue with my router and they’ll have it fixed up soon, then another couple hours later it’s back to my payment being processed improperly, I’m tired of being given the runaround and I just want my internet to continue to work, I’ve had about 3 days of service in the past 2-3 weeks and I’m sick of it. Anyone seeing this please just go with another company even if they’re more expensive, this headache is not worth it

  We apologize for the issues Mr. ***** has experienced with his services. After reviewing the account, the invoices print on the *** of the month and are due on the ****. Late fees begin to accrue the day after the due day and there is continuous communication advising of a bill due. Unfortunately, if there is no payment received by the **** of that month then the account is disconnected for non-payment. There were 3 invoices generated and no payment made until October which only covered one invoice. It appears the account is now at a zero balance and services are working. We do always recommend setting up automatic payment to ensure payments are processed smoothly moving forward and will be more than happy to help Mr. ***** set this up on his account. Should there be any other issues, please contact us directly at ************ so we can document and act as necessary. We appreciate you being a Point Broadband customer.

  Having issues with service, it starts at 7pm every day to around 11-midnight. So slow you can't even stream TV services. And my security system/outdoor cameras starts glitching. I have/paying for 300mbs service, between those hours mentioned it goes down to 3 to 4mbs. I believe they are throttling service in peak times. I can't get any help, people promise to call me I never hear back. They flat out refuse to let me speak to a supervisor (always says none avaliable in every department im speaking with) I've called 9 times about it in the last week and half and no resaloution or help. This has been going on for a long while now.

  Business Response

  I have reviewed Ms. ******'s account and it seems she missed a payment in July and was billed two months on her August bill. Due to the mishap, I have credited Ms. ****** the 15.00 late fee that was charged to her account and that will reflect on the next invoice.

I was not aware of them coming and NEVER WOULD HAVE OKAYED THE BOX TO BE INSTALLED THERE. you ruined my new siding! It isn't even completed yet. You tore up about 25 feet of my yard and you cut wires on my house. You destroyed perennials.

  We engaged with Ms. ***** the afternoon on *****/23. She agreed to allow us to dispatch to her home on ***** at 9:00am. We were able to move the *** to a location of her choosing and complete the install. Our General Manager called her and left her a message asking for her to call him if she has any remaining concerns. She has not called back yet. Regarding her damaged siding, she wanted her siding vendor to do the repair. I agreed that Point Broadband would pay for repair. The tech gave Ms. ***** the General Managers business card and she will send the repair invoice to his attention.

  They have been failing to properly communicate with each other or customers and that is resolving in them neither adjusting the bills or even opening the tickets.

  Business Response

  Date: 07/24/2023

  Prior to Ms. ********* requesting credit there were no trouble tickets to support her claims which is why no credit was given. She opened a ticket via the website, and it didn't get the attention it needed, and we apologize for our oversight. We gave Ms. ********* a onetime $20 credit and restored her service and will follow up with her to make sure all services are working as expected. 

   

  Customer Answer

  Date: 07/25/2023

  This happened several times and I have verification. The only reason tickets weren't opened is because they were playing games with sending me between departments. My * year old and I are now fleeing for our lives, in part because of this situation and it was explained several times to agents. Each time they refused to follow through. Anymore a $20 credit isn't helping me. Nothing I tried helped me. *** ******** ** ** *** because my Internet was the only way I could have left safely.

  We have been dealing with an issue of false advertising and lack of service for the number of people in the surrounding area. We have been on an internet plan for 25 mgbs download which can very down to 20 mgbs. On average, we get 10 mgbs to 3 mgbs when everyone in the surrounding area is home. We have got confirmation that the amount of internet data transferred to our local radio is only enough for two households at 25 mgbs. We have been trying to get this resolved since ******* of 2022 and have finally got told to quit calling. In ******* of 2023, we were told by a manager that we would be receiving fiber within the next few months. A couple of months later we called to see if there was an update on the fiber installment and were told that they were not going to be putting fiber in nor replacing the radio equipment either and that we were "***". We have tried to be patient. We have asked for some sort of discount or some sort of reimbursement for the lack of service and we have been told that they can't do that. We are tired of hearing "The Engineers are looking into it" and hearing nothing back from the company is old. Back in ******** they had replaced a radio then two weeks later took it down, the internet was good for those two weeks and has been back to the same old shit. They don't want to work with us at all to help fix their issues because they are a fiber company and don't want to help the wireless-based people even if they might make more money for it in the long run. The following images are all from different times of day and weeks. Our account is under my mother's name ****.

  Business Response

  Date: 05/22/2023

  Point Broadband regrets any annoyances our services may have given you. I've put down a one-time 50.00 credit as well as a 15.00 per month credit for the following 12 months. I've also inquired for an update on the fiber rollout to your neighborhood, but there isn't one yet. Hopefully, we can get you an update soon. Thank you for being a Point Broadband customer.
