      Socket came into our front and back yard without permission or consent. The yard is destroyed and dirt/ debris are everywhere.

      This was brought to our attention and escalated to the construction management group with request to restore the property on Fri 11/08.. This typically can take between 7-10 business days and is weather permitting. We do apologize for the concern as request for services were submitted by a door to door representative that made contact with the customer to establish services.

      I switched my internet and cable to Socket Fiber the third week in September. On the second day my service was going downhill. I have filed several Trouble Tickets and at first they would respond and walk me through about an hours worth of diagnostics which improved things a bit but did not solve my TV issues. As the days went by, I could view fewer and fewer channels. As of today, I can view only 4 channels out of 186 and only one local channel. I am paying $225 a month for a service that does not work. The last contact I had from customer support said they did not know how to solve the issue, but there was nothing equipment wise on my end causing the problems. They would refer to their IT department. So....you are selling a product that does not work and they don't know why. Should not be allowed. As of November 1st I will owe another $225. I asked the last customer support person about a refund and they will not address that until the problem is "resolved" and then go back from there. They do not have the knowledge of their product to be selling it. I am certain I am not the only customer with issues of no service.

      ********************** was impacted by a known network event that affected multiple customers. This issue has since been successfully resolved for those who reported it as the TV app went through automatic **********. Sexton was contacted on November 4th, and he did have to manually upgrade the Socket TV app on his Socket TV devices. At that time, he was no longer having issues with the streaming service, and he has not reported any further issues since the upgrade. The Socket technical team reached out to Mr. ****** on 11/6/2024 and confirmed that his service is still working.

      I ordered ***************** They came out when I wasnt present and installed a line into the side of my garage. They had said they would install it where the current service was (other side of house). Ive been arguing with them for months to locate it properly and now they want to charge me $700 and trench up my yard. When I asked about it, they said they would trench from my garage over to the other side of the house 220 feet. They cant explain to me or provide a drawing. Meanwhile, my neighbor has service in the same area out of the service manhole Ive been telling them to access. They keep telling me its my fault because I wasnt present when they came to install the service but I never thought Id have to be there because they said they put it where the current **************** was. They did not do that.

      The request to move the fiber drop was received after the work was completed. Site survey, typically $150, was created and completed with the customer. To move the drop, charges would occur as this was advised at the time of the site survey creation. 

      If customer approved charges and makes payment, this will bring the drop from the case they are spliced in currently thru the duct between the vaults to the vault at the north side of the property then plow the drop to the northeast side of the house by the tv box. An itemized invoice was created and available to the customer with the breakdown of the cost to move the drop. At this time only payment received has been $75 of the total $947 estimate.

      I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:

      First, they are not addressing the original issue, which is, they said they would put the service where the existing internet service was, and they have never done that. Now they are charging an exorbitant amount of money to correct the error they made.

      Second, no one at socket can explain to me why they cant just run a line from the manhole on the northeast side of my property to where it needs to be without all this additional work. My neighbor has recently been given a service out of that manhole directly to his side of the house nearby mine -why cant I have that?I find it hard to believe theres only one line hookup available in that manhole?. The manhole on the northwest side of my house goes to my house (albeit not where it needs to be) and to my neighbor to the west (2 connections).why is the manhole northwest of my property limited to one connection and why would I have to pay for it to be done correctly?

      Thirdly, this whole process has me feeling singled out and punished for not being present at the initial installation. Again, I was told I didnt need to be there and they would just put it on the side of the house where the existing service was.

      Fourth and last, socket used to be a reliable company. I had your service and enjoyed at another location . I never had a customer service issue. Now all of a sudden, you are charging for things that none of my neighbors have had to pay for. Its highly unusual! If its not, then please detail another similar case? Fixing the error that you made would be a small financial expense for Socket but for me, a nearly retired individual trying to run a small business its a significant financial matter. Please get this line moved. ****

      Standard installation process we typically will mount the *** on the same side of the home that existing utilities are. Unless the layout of the home keeps us from doing so or obstacles keep us from doing so, that is the normal process. This is specific to the power as the utility, not existing internet services with another carrier. 

      No invoice has been created as we have not moved the drop. If the customer would like the drop moved, the fees would still apply.

      I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because:

      I would like a Socket employee with knowledge of the situation and the constructed layout of the Socket manholes, to please come out here to speak to me about the matter. Do not send the last guy that came as he literally said he had "no idea how the service manholes worked in my area, but he would report back to Socket what I wanted". I'd like this knowledgeable person to make a clear demonstration of why I can't just have service out of the manhole on the 'correct' side of my house, the side that my neighbor literally just had installation out of. If they have to open the manhole and show me that there is only one connection in that manhole and my neighbor already has it, then let's do that. All that I'm hearing from Socket is there is huge expense ($975) to relocate and pull wires. I want you to demonstrate to me that is the only way, otherwise I am assuming you are missing something or you are punishing me.

      I would be happy to open the manhole and send you photos?

      On 7/4/24 I was no longer able to access a page on the website www.newstribune.com. After checking with the website IT techs they could not find any problem with their website. They then replied Are you using Socket, and do you know if it is working through different internet providers? I'm asking in hopes of narrowing down some possibilities to try to figure this out, as we think it might be an issue with Socket." I then ran a speed test on ********************************************************** and the download speed was 34.6 Mbps and the upload speed was 6.5 Mbps. I called Socket.net on 7/11/24 and after a heated conversation with a lady who would not stop talking, listen and offer anything except excuses and was no help with the problem by offering to check out their equipment at my home and she hung up on me. They advertise service of 100 Mbps which I have never able to get. Had I noticed the * rating on BBB before I signed up with Socket.net I would never have changed from my previous Wifi provider. The only reason I did was because they offer optic cable service which I now feel is no benefit because of their poor service otherwise.

      Business Response

      Date: 07/12/2024

      Socket reviewed the ticket and the call recordings. Confirmed that services are provisioned and delivered for the package speeds. We can not guarantee speeds over wifi and speedtests are recommended to be hardwired connected to the router as well as the optical network terminal. Speedtest should then be the downloaded application with the wifi disconnected for the best results using a computer or laptop. The technical support agent assisted with the call, by trouble shooting up to Socket's equipment confirmed that there did not appear to be any issues that would result in poor speeds.

      Complaint: 21974409
      I am rejecting this response because: I connected with Socket because they advertised up to 100 Mbps using optic cable. After the first installation they put the modem in the garage which according to the Socket installation serviceman is against Socket policy to install a modem in the garage. Since the signal could not exceed about 50 Mbps I was told the modem should be moved into the main house. I paid Socket $120 to move the modem which I shouldn't have to because they installed in the garage against their policy which should not have been done. Moving the modem to the house increased the signal to about 75 Mbps which I agreed was acceptable based on the opinion of the service person as the best I could expect even though there was no clear explanation of why the 100 Mbps could not be obtained. The signal has been satisfactory until 7/4.

           After having the problem with opening a website window on 7/4 the signal dropped to about 35 Mbps as described in the BBB complaint. Up to now I was able to talk to helpful Socket tech support people and get help resolving a problem at my home location. It seems now Socket has changed their policy in offering help assuring satisfactory service to customers and will only check their service at the office. It seems now and one has to just accept their word the signal is fine (whatever that means) when the service at the computer in my home is only 35 Mbps.

      I changed to Socket because I thought it was a reputable company, but now it seems like all they care about is selling a substandard service and then couldn't care less about satisfactory service after the sale.

      During installation, my sprinkler line was cut, even though I paid to have my lines marked by the installer. I called socket and they agreed to cover the cost, and they mailed me a check. The envelop that I assume came to my home looked like junk mail, so I threw it away. After a couple months without receiving the check, I called and we determined this, and they cancelled the check and agreed to send me a new one. It has now been around 6 weeks, and I've called multiple times per week, and I've still not had a resolution. Each week they say to wait a week and then call back, which again occurred today. Multiple agents have said they would reach back out to me with updates, and only one did a few weeks ago.

      Business Response

      Date: 11/20/2023

      Socket reached out to the contractor that originally sent out the check. The contractor confirmed that a new check was mailed out on 11/13/23. Reference number for tracking was created on the account, #*****, and update was received on 11/17/2023.

      I have still not received the check. I called on Friday the 17th and the agent said they were still waiting on the check to be mailed, so I doubt it was mailed on 11/13. 

      A satisfactory resolution would be to cancel the check and give me credit on my socket account if that could be done. 


      Thanks!

      Business Response

      Date: 11/22/2023

      The check is being issued by the contractor. Unfortunately we can not apply this as a credit on the account as it was paid directly from the contracting company and not Socket. As previously stated the check was sent out in the mail on 11/13. Depending on the **** mail system and timeline it should be delivered to the customer's service address.

      Invoice date range is from September 5th-October 20th. I’m being charged for two months when one statement shows 5th-20th and the other shows 1st of October through the 20th of October.

      Business Response

      Date: 11/02/2023

      Hi *******, 

      We have reviewed your account details and the billing is accurate for your account.  Our records indicate you signed up for service on 9/5.  The invoice sent in September is for September service only, but not due until 10/20.   We did not make the September invoice due until the following month since you did not have service for the full month.

      The invoice sent on 10/1 has a $75 charge for October service, which is a full month payment for October service.  Thus, the charges are not duplicate.  The due date does not reflect the service dates.  Our service dates begin on the 1st of the month and run through the end of the month.  This is why you are seeing a prorated invoice for September that is less than the $75 package+router you signed up for. 

       

      Please let us know if you have any additional questions and we will be happy to clarify them for you.

      Thank-you,

      Socket came through my neighborhood and installed fiber lines. Socket cracked my driveway and DESTROYED my lawn.threw rocks and trash all over my yard. I am a totally disabled combat veteran (hit in ****) this home is all I own and socket came here and destroyed my property. I have clear dated photos of before and after. I have e mailed them DOZENS of times, over a Year always told that a field manager ( the one who told me "fuc# your mother" in Spanish when I asked him to be careful after cracking my driveway. ) would be in touch. NOTHING. My lawn was beautiful. Again I have pictures, and I am IGNORED or cussed out. Told Fuc$ your service (I have all of the cussing on camera as well as all of the damage being done. Respect my property and repair your negligent damage.

      Socket has reviewed the Better Business Bureau complaint.   Our findings indicate the damage to the concrete was not completed by Socket.  Cracks in the driveway and sidewalk were present before Socket work being completed. Yard restoration has previously been completed.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      There has been  NO YARD restoration.  The last time they were in my yard they were still destroying it. Big holes ALL my grass was killed. $2500 in damage to the yard. Killing all of the grass has caused soil erosion.  They have done NOTHING to remedy this situation other than tell me that they would "pass it along to the field supervisor." They are making false claims,  they have only given false promises.  Not a word about telling me  "F#ck your mother " when asked them NOT to kill my beautiful lawn (see photos) I am a disabled combat veteran.  I am unable to fix my yard myself. I have been cussed out, threatened and treated like I was damaging THEIR property. Not a single solitary action has been made to restore any of their damage. I reject their untrue assertion and again request a compensation to hire someone to fix my yard.

      Thank you for reaching out.  At Socket, we know yard damage and construction can be unpleasant for a homeowner.  Because of this, we apologize for the disturbance from the construction of our fiber lines.  After construction of our fiber lines in an area, we complete yard restoration to the yards that were disturbed by crews.

      My wife and I cancelled business internet service and our land line service in January 2023. We asked it to be transferred to residential internet service. We were charged for the business account, residential account, and land line on February, March and April billing statements. They stopped billing us for the internet and landline starting in May, after numerous phone calls and emails, but continued to charged us for a call forwarding charge on a land line that no longer existed. We were notified about the refund of $737.34 in August on 2023 and a check with our refund would be sent out a short time later. On September 5, we were told the refund was approved, but still had to be processed. We have heard nothing from the company since that time. I am attaching the emails we sent to the company. We also made numerous phone calls. Socket has refused to pay what they agree we are owed. For several months they have refused to pay and provided no communication.

      In the Spring and into Summer, Socket dug up most of the yards in my subdivision to install their equipment. No one was informed of this happening until it was completed, then I received a card in the mail from Socket telling me what they were doing AFTER it was already done. They scattered "seed" on the barren hard ground they dug up but it never grew despite my watering it. I have two atrocious looking barren spots in my front yard that had previously been thick and green with grass. I pay to have 6 or more treatments done on my yard annually and I pay a company to mow the grass. I sent Socket an email detailing the issue and provided a date in late August for them to respond. They have not contacted me in any way. I am disabled and now I also have a foot in a boot and cannot fix the problem they created. It is an atrocity that Socket did not check on their damage and their remedy. The men in my neighborhood are seeding their barren spots but that is not something I can do nor should I do. While they have an easement, they must restore my property to its original condition by placing sod in all the barren spots they created. Now is the time for them to correct their mistake because it is the time of year to lay sod.

      Thank you for taking the time to reach out with this information. We apologize for any inconveniences the construction process has caused and understand your frustrations.
      To address your concerns most effectively, we have forwarded your information to our Field Management Team and the appropriate contractors for review and investigation. Please allow 3-5 business days for our team to review your concerns and follow up with you. Please be advised that we do not replace sod, and usually will only put down grass seed and straw.
      Like other major upgrades to an area’s infrastructure, the fiber construction process can be lengthy and inconvenient. Once complete, however, it offers not only a faster, more reliable future-proof internet option for you and your neighbors but increases the value of your home and enriches the local economy.
      We understand that the construction process can be unpleasant and are greatly appreciative of your patience as we work to best address your concerns. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience you have experienced because of these issues and thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns and improve as a result of your feedback.

      I am rejecting this response because: Socket destroyed the front of my lawn on the side and I am totally, completely disabled so I cannot fix it and send the invoice. I am also in a boot for my left foot and will find out Wednesday if I require surgery. As an attorney, I know that it is not my responsibility to pay for their damage. They need to restore my lawn to its original condition and that requires sodding the huge area they destroyed. I was an Assistant Attorney General and I will file with them as well. Because I am an attorney, I can file a case against Socket and proceed that way as well and Socket can pay the filing fees and other expenses related to their destruction.

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because: once again, I am totally disabled and I am wearing a boot on my left leg so it is difficult for me to take pictures. Also, this mess was created by Socket and it is their problem to remedy.  It's easy for Socket to drive to the house and see the huge bare spots that their company created when they dug up my lawn. In fact, they can drive all over the subdivision and see all the bare spots. The one across the street from me is covered in seed and straw because my neighbor remedied Socket's damage. I am unable to do so and I should not have to pay someone to fix Socket's damage to my property. Socket management should be surveying the work done by their employees and their vendors. I was an attorney at ********** for several years and I provided legal counsel for high-speed internet and cable television (but not telephony services) so I know how this business works. I will only be satisfied with Socket laying sod in the areas they demolished in my front yard to my satisfaction. This is the very least they must do. I mean, come on, this is a basic part of customer service. I cannot believe this is even an issue for Socket. It should be immediately addressed to my satisfaction.

      Sincerely,

      ******* ******
