Unreliable Service
We pay for 6mb/s, the service rarely gives us that though. Normally it stays around 3/4. Not only that, but I often find several times a month; we lose connection to the internet, and see a nice splash screen from our router happily informing us that there is no internet connection. It should also be noted, that the ping often drops to unusable levels. As rated by pingtest.net, "F"; with 800 ms ping time. If your happy with having an unstable internet connection that goes down or becomes unusable every few days, At&t is the company for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it. On a side note, the blackberry website tends to load VERY slowly, though I can't say if this is At&t's malpractice or just a slow website. I'd also like to complain about the slow upload speeds, which make file-sharing almost unusable. It takes about 30 minutes to upload a small video, which is a consistent thing.

INCORRECT CHARGES
I have contacted AT&T by phone and by the attached emails time and time again. No response! I choose not to deal with the inexperienced folks they have on the phone and will hit every complaint site possible since they will not respond via email. IF YOU ARE GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY, PLEASE, PLEASE TURN YOUR PHONE OFF. They will tell you everthing is ok and then wack you with a completely unacceptable bill.


Again, I have still received no contact from AT&T. I have issued a payment to AT&T for $350.00. This was the agreed upon price from all the telephone calls made to change my service to the best option for living in Canada for one year.


We can either deal with this via email or we can go the legal route. I am very displeased with your service.


Thanks,

Still no contact. The phones have basically been non-functional since I received the $1900.00 bill. I need some someone to contact me soon with a resolution to this situation.

I am shocked and astonished about the bill I received today. I and my husband have called five times over the past 6 weeks to ensure that we have the correct plan and have updated the plan based on text messages we received from you. I would have to say that the text messages were always late (most by a couple of weeks).


The worst case scenario was that we would owe $350.00 per month. On every call, we made it very clear that we would be living in Canada for the next year and on every call they had a different plan but none of them exceeded $350.00.


With all that being said, a bill of almost $1900.00 is completely unacceptable! My husband spent 2.5 hours on the phone talking with representatives today about reducing the price. He finished with a price reduction of $550.00 and I can say that this is again completely unacceptable!


Someone needs to contact me via email as soon as possible to resolve this situation. Please do not text me or call me on my cell because you nor your team has obviously not listened to or grasped the situation that we have explained.


Thanks,

To whom it may concern
RE: 2 ISSUES 1 COLLECTION 1 UNABLE TO PAY Account # AT&T 088 013-6756 318 9 and unknown account @ 640 Santa Barbara St. . Under Jacquelynne
In July 2009 I contacted AT&T to let them know I was moving from San Jose Ca. and wanted to keep my email address but was unsure of if and when our new house @ 1026 Acaciawood Ct. would be closed so I asked them to put the account on hold. They asked for a forwarding address for the final bill and I used my wife’s work address @ . In August we received a new modem from AT&T. I called them and as usual after a 48 minute hold I was told that I would not be charged for the modem until my account was set up at my new location.
On 11/7 the house closed and I authorized them to install DSL only as we do not use a home phone.
They came in and installed the internet service and within 2 hours it was down. They sent out a technician a few days later and he said he fixed the problem. Again it stopped working and when I called to say that it was probably the modem I was told that I only had a 90 day warranty and I was stuck with it even though it was never installed until November and I had not ordered it. The technician came out again and finally fixed the problem but it is very slow. On 11/19 I received a bill and went to my normal account online with AT&T and paid the bill of $19.95 per month. I did the same in December as well. On 1/23/2010 I received my ebill Flag this messageYour AT&T paperless bill is ready to view and print Saturday, January 23, 2010 2:50 PM From: This sender is DomainKeys verified
"AT&T Account Manager" <[email protected]>
Then on 1/27 and email with the header AT&T: Get $6 in bill credits and a last chance at $10K
. When I went to the AT&T website it would not allow me to log in. I emailed them for help with no response. I spoke with Rose @ AT&T who stated she could not help me or take a payment that I would have to talk to tech support. When I spoke with a different Rose with tech support she stated I would have to wait for an email response which as of 2/08/2010 I have not received. I have called them repeatedly to no avail so I am still unable to pay my $19.95 bill even though I have emailed them 5 times with no response. If you click on “email us” http://www06.sbc.com/ and http://www.sbc.com/contact_us are non working url’s also they were kind enough to send me these emails on 12/28 and on 1/25 with the header AT&T: Get $6 in bill credits and a last chance at $10K, but I am already signed up and getting online bills I just can’t log in.
Now the good part: On 2/08/2010 I received a call from a collection agency PHONE #:800 454 2227 stating I owed $278 for an account I had not paid the bill on @ 640 Santa Barbara . After looking up the address I found this house was and is still for sale and I have no idea where they came up with this address. I do not own this house I do not live there and I have never been there. I was threatened today by a collection agent from India and told I owed the bill on the house which I never have even been to. When I talked to AT&T they also said they had no record of that but were of course no help what so ever.
At this point I demand this record for the Santa Barbara address be removed from my credit and I demand that AT&T fix all of their errors.
FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE A COPY OF THIS LETTER HAS BEEN FORWARDED THE FTC, FCC, CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION AND ALL LOCAL BBB AND LOCAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Refund received, still no credit on the modem and I still cannot view account online so they take autopay of $!9.95 per month for internet. Everything else from them was canceled.

Customer Service
New service, New home phone and High speed internet... ok service man showed up to do phone messed up the phone service of neighbor left yard in mess. sloppy work, mult. calls and sitting on phone for ever hearing "how important my call is", took at least 4 calls and each call 30 to 45 min to get to speak to a person.
Next the service man that was to come and wire for internet never showed up. mult calls again. each call 30 to 45 mins. after 4months of paying for internet that we did not have. Cancelled all service. spoke to at least 5 people on phone 2 hours, once because after holding for 45 mins was told that transferring and disconnected me, has to start over. This time though I would not be denied. If it took 10 hours, the 4 person told me I had an attitude. duh!! These people would have given Jesus one. Last women told me if I would pay 122.00 she would close account. oh well, I paid for 4 or 5 months of service that we never recieved but I just want them to go away. So I Paid,

GUESS WHAT... we have been turned over to collection. for 53.26 more.
They need to be put out of business.

I make 31.00 dollars per hours I spent at least 20 hours dealing with these people I feel they own me 620.

Customer Service
A change in my monthly income was changed beyond my control. Because I am on Disability and retired, the dates that my income to be directly deposited was changed, which conflicted with the due date of my payment.
I tried two months to get them to cooperate with me and they said there was nothing that they could do and I would have to change my telephone number.
The discontinued my phone service while I was int he hospital which infuriated me because I tried to get them to help me with situation.

All other creditors were more than happy to cooperate with me and changed the due date of payment.

I am leaving ATT/

Run around
Bought a phone as an upgrade, had it for a month and it started crashing and would not hook up to the wi-fi in the house any longer. Had the technician check it out, told me to reset the entire phone which deleted all of my apps (paid and unpaid). From there, stayed on the phone trying to get info on getting an exchange for 3.28 hours. After I was told I would receive a replacement, I got an email a half hour later and it stated that they could not do it. So, let's just say that I am going to probably go with Verizon after being a customer for over 9 years. Done with them. I am disgusted.

Refund of security Deposit
on Feb 12, 2010 i bought the iphone 3gs and had to put a security deposit of $500 down and was told i would receive it back in 6months. after 6months i called AT&T and was told no it takes 9months. ok fine i waited the 9months and still nothing so i call again and was told no it actually takes a year from when i got the phone. ok fine i can understand that i called them again just to make sure that it was just gonna take a year and when i called again i was told that no because i had a few suspensions on my acct it takes a year from the last suspension. from all the times that i called NOT 1 of those incompetent reps had ever told me that. i tried filing a complaint and kept getting the runaround like they always do to their customers. i was given 3 diff corporate addresses and was never provided a corporate number. so now they are saying that i will not receive my refund until june 2011 which is VERY unacceptable i will fight this to the very end i want my money back no later then feb 2011. AT&T is the WORST carrier ever i wish i had read about them before i signed up with them. please people be aware of them they really are the worst they dont care about their customers and the reps do not know anything i am always being told something different everytime i call them.

Illegal charges to my bill
I had gotten a local, dedicated line to my computer, and had it set up for ONLY local numbers. I had been using these same numbers for over a year, and all of a sudden I get a phone bill for $1500.00!!

I called AT&T and tried to talk to somebody who would explain to me HOW I got this huge charge, and all I got from them was "this is YOUR bill you have to pay it".

I finally got ahold of some "supervisor" who apparently was some snot-nosed hate-monger...he screamed and yelled at me "ITS YOUR BILL YOU PAY IT"!

I even got ahold of a woman who didnt scream at me, and I asked several times to have my phone line physically looked at to see if anybody illegally connected to it, or if there was something wrong in the junction box out on the street, but she refused.

I had AT&T years before this, and they tried to screw me over then, by adding other peoples charges to my phone bill...people who never paid thier phone bills. This is what they were doing now...trying to get me to pay for OTHER peoples phone bills.

Nobody would listen to me, but I filed complaints with all the appropriate places anyway.

AT&T is a monster and must be shut down. DONT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM!!!

DSL AND CUSTOMER SERVICE RUN-AROUNDS
I spent 3.5 hrs on 11/29/10 (from 4 pm to 7:30 pm) trying to reestablish home internet connection for an outage that had occurred on 11/28. We have a home PC directly connected to the modem and an Apple using the home wireless network. As is routine for me, I kept notes of the numbers I called, the names of the people I spoke with, and the outcomes of the conversations. I ended up with two pages of notes, names of at least six ATT reps, and several different toll-free phone numbers and--the short of it was-- still my connection problem wasn't solved. In order to get their expert help, which seems to come with additional cost, I agreed to sign up for a year's service contract at $15/mo (rather than a one-time fee of $49.) thinking good help would be quickly forthcoming. Yet I was immediately dropped yet again between signing up and the tech rep who was to assist, which happened when being switched between ATT personnel several times over that long period where I was holding. That puts the caller back into a queue, which in SC averaged 20 minutes each time. The first thing any ATT employee asks is, "With whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?", then the phone number where I can be reached, then the security question. NEVER did anyone who took the return call phone number where I could be reached CALL ME BACK when we were disconnected. The contacts were excruciating, and in the end my problem was determined to be a faulty modem/router. I then tried to order a new one only to be told that ATT wouldn't sell me one because I didn't pay for home wireless service, which I obviously had had since I had an ATT stamp on my current modem/router which they had supplied! In the end, after breaking for dinner, my son from Indianapolis walked me through disconnecting/reconnecting the modem/turning off/on the computer which has to be done in proper series of steps. Now I know that... While talking about the fact that they wanted me to pay extra for wireless service (which I had already), I said I wanted to drop ATT service altogether, I was told by that rep that proper office to handle that request was closed for the day!! I was immensely frustrated to put it mildly. Early on 11/30 I started over with ATT and got very pleasant treatment and expressed regrets from the ATT business office UNTIL I was sent to a billing "escalator" clerk to request to remove the tech service contract from my account, which hadn't helped me isolate the problem which was a simple one according to my son. I was told that the verbal agreement that I had made the day before was binding and that to cancel would cost me $10 per month for a year (rather than the $15 per month to keep the service), and that $120 would be tacked onto my final bill if I chose to drop ATT altogether. Evidently there is no option to back out of a contract? Is this true? Then I was promptly dropped again on the transfer from that DSL billing supervisor to the overall business office where I wished to continue my quest to cancel the verbal contract made 12 hours earlier with DSL. I had got NO appropriate technical help, although I did speak with a technician, yet ATT is somehow entitled to additional monthly fees for services not rendered, an unnecessary new modem which I was also to pay for, plus upgrading my plan to include wireless service which I already had. I will attempt to find another Internet provider in SC and cancel all association with ATT after spending 50 years as an ATT customer. Now I'm glad I don't have the iPHONE! And, in case other people are interested in service differences between states, I got better and immediate service when I called the several ATT numbers from my NJ area code cell phone this week than when I called from my land line with a SC area code. ATT has good competition in NJ, so they must target that state for better customer service than in SC. Also I discovered that ATT isn't as "connected" between offices that they would like customers to believe. There is no one-stop help available. Instead it is an arduous task to traverse the ATT web of offices trying to get to someone who can assist in even the simplest of problems.
