    On 8/9/2024 I noticed a pile of freshly dug up dirt next to a grey square lid labeled fiber in my front yard. What a shock, since no one asked permission to run cable in my front yard!On 8/15/2024 I called brightspeed and requested it be removed, was given reference number ******* and told it would be done on 8/22/2024.To my disappointment it did not get done! I would appreciate it if brightspeed would remove the fiber cable and replace everything as it was originally!

    Dear ****************:

    We are grateful for the opportunity to review the details of the line removal issues that you brought to our attention. Upon receipt of your complaint, I spoke with the regional operations supervisor in your area, and he stated that the fiber was laid in the utility right of way and needed not to be removed from the area. However, he will have a contractor come out and remove all the excess dirt that is on the property. Brightspeed would like to apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you.

    We appreciate *************************** for taking the time to contact the BBB to inform us about the matter. We want to assure you that we are committed to resolving this issue and ensuring your satisfaction. We apologize for any issues due to the experience and inconvenience.

The only acceptable resolution is to restore my property to its original condition and remove All underground fiber. I humble beg of you to please consider this as the only acceptable resolution!

    Our internet service with Brightspeed has been out since August 2. Weve had two technicians come out in the past three weeks to identify and restore services. Each time service was not restored and ticket was closed. Ive made numerous phone calls and chat messages (4 times today). They said the technician would be out today. It is 4:30 and we have not seen or heard from anyone. In my last conversation today I asked for an ETA from the driver. They said they messaged him and he should send it. We did not receive it. Id like my **************** restored

    Cannot access my email account because its been locked every since brightspeed took over embarqmail. Just finished a chat in which I informed them the resolution they gave me/link to change password was not working. The apologized and stated there was nothing they could do. Surely this can't be true. If they are not knowledgeable/have expertise in password resets - then why are they in existence.

    On August 6th, 2024, after a week of random internet disconnects, I contacted Brightspeed. This was after trying to ***ort an outage (which you cant do, by the waythe system checks itself and tells you there isnt one). I ended up talking to a customer service *** on the website chat feature, who then scheduled a technician to come out on August 20th, 2024, 3 weeks after, or a total of 4 weeks of this issue being present. I drove a 20 mile round trip to town and back to use the chat function to talk to a ***resentative again to see if I could get an earlier appointment, which, according to them, wasnt possible.On August 19th, after 3 weeks of waiting and the day before the tech was supposed to come, I get text messages saying they werent going to be able to come look, and it was rescheduled for September 27th, 2024, *another 3 weeks out* for a total of 7 weeks of this issue. As I am writing this, the issue is STILL happening, and I have another 3 weeks to wait, which isnt even a reliable estimate, as any time Ive ever had to contact customer service for an issue, it can take weeks to months to solve an issue (they sent me 3 modems, 2 of them the wrong type) to fix a problem, which wasnt the issue, and a tech later showed up 2 months later for a 10-minute fix to the actual issue on the line/box outside).The issue that Ive been facing (contacting by phone isn't possible due to the nature of the issue):The phone line will be in use and have static randomly throughout the day or night when this happens, when the phone is not in use. After changing out to my new DSL splitters, the issue still happens. This used to happen once or twice a year a few years back, but now happens every day, multiple times a day. Sometimes, the phone line will work fine, others, it will either have no dial tone or will be in use and when picked up, will have a busy signal, as if someone has tried to call out or reached a busy number.

    I am rejecting this response because: the appointment was missed. I took off from my 2nd job yesterday to wait for the tech.

    The issue still persists as well, including the phone line noise during phone calls (despite getting new DSL splitters), and the random disconnects of the internet affecting my other jobs and endeavors.

    On April 17, we signed up for Brightspeed Internet. On May 25, the services were finally installed. On July 8, Brightspeed sent someone out to install a neighbors Internet. When they were installing the neighbors Internet, they damaged our line. Our Internet never was restored. We waited for almost 6 weeks with Brightspeed constantly telling us they would have someone out to fix it. After nobody showed up, we canceled the service. Now we re-ordered service to see if being a new customer would help get them out here. They yet again have missed The installation date and has failed to give us an update.

    I am rejecting this response because: We have not had Brightspeed service for the entire billing period due to modem malfunction, delays in shipping replacement modem and outright lies from Brightspeed representatives. It is obvious they delayed their response to BBB until the end of the billing period as to avoid any refund. We are requesting a full refund from Brightspeed for the entire billing period.

    On or about Aug 15, 2024 BrightSpeed started service. Since this time I have been unable to get internet service. I have called many many times and spent an hour on the phone with no resolve. Today they actually told me a tech could come on Nov 4th! Today in 8/28/24 That is unfair business. They agree to start service asap and bill you but not make sure you service works.Shady business practices to lure people in with lower prices and BAD service!

    Dear ****************:

    Brightspeed appreciates the opportunity to review the BBB complaint regarding ********************** internet service outage. Upon further research, I was able to escalate the repair ticket, and the outage was resolved on 9/4, restoring the service. I issued a $50 out-of-service credit, which will be reflected on the next billing statement.

    Brightspeed apologizes for any issues due to the experience and inconvenience.

    Dear ****************:

    We appreciated the opportunity to review the details of repair issues.  Upon research, I found a known outage at the location set to be repaired on 8/29.  There were continued issues, and a repair ticket was placed for the customer for an escalated date in the area of 9/10.  The customer proceeded to discontinue the service on 8/30 with Order # **********. A front-line agent had already credited the customer for out-of-service days, which will show on the following billing statement. We understand the inconvenience this has caused you and Brightspeed is deeply sorry for this. We hope that you choose Brightspeed again.

    We appreciate ***************************** 's taking the time to contact the BBB to inform us about the matter. We apologize for any issues caused by the experience and any inconvenience. We want to assure you that your satisfaction is our top priority.

    Sincerely,

    **************

    Hi I'm writing to complain about brightspeed I was told after my connection within my third payment I will receive a rewards card in the amount of $200. This is now my fourth payment and up to this day I have not seen any rewards card. I have called multiple times and all I get is the runaround... they promise a date and that date comes and go and still no rewards card...nothing at all... The only reason I switch to brightspeed was because of the rewards card I was perfectly happy with spectrum...
