unauthorized billing for third party
Windstream has billed me the last two months for Laurentel. I have never had a business transaction of any sort with this company, and have never been approached by Laurentel for any sort of transaction. In fact I never knew they existed until they placed a monthy fee of $8.23 on my windstream bill. I called windstream customer service and was told by Mike that there was nothing that windstream could do and if I didn't pay the$ 8.23 I would be billed for the same thing next month unless I could get a refund and have it stopped by Laurentel myself. I don't understand why windstream would steal from their customers for Laurentel. They must be getting a good percentage of what they collect for the third party billing.

Stay far away from them
I requested some help in setting up my new Windstream account and immediately after noticed my Alltel account was terminated. Finally got someone (after threatening to file a complaint with the FCC that set up an alias account. Now all works well with the Allel and Windstream addresses.

Do not waste your time contacting Windstream
I was trying to become a customer the Windstream web site requires a SS# with not indication that you private information is secure. I took the time to open an online account to get info on the security. I opened a ticket about lack of security. They closed the ticket with a generic reply. I called and a snippy guy informed me that it would be silly of a company that size not to have security.

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME CONTACTING WINDSTREAM.

Do not do business with these thieves
We signed up with Windstream 's "bundle" packages; phone, internet, satellite last August. Free set up, etc promised. First bill comes $800 plus...call and get the "Oh, it's this fee, that fee, " etc. Think it's straightened out until the next bill comes and there are more "fees." Start-up, receivers, modems..anything they can think of to charge you for they did. Still have to call (and spend literally HOURS on the phone each call) and try to fix it. Then satellite service is shabby...call to report a defective receiver that gives me overheating notices. Through a miscommunication, they shut my service OFF!! Plus Windstream is billing me for the 3 free months of HD, HBO and Cinemax service!! This is an ONGOING problem. Dish credits me for the "mistake" 4 free months of service...do you know what Windstream does? THEY TAKE THE CREDITS FROM DISH AND APPLY IT TO THE "PAST DUE" BALANCE I DON'T EVEN OWE. It's all the services they said were FREE! Over and over again I have been told it's been taken care of. All I have is 5 months of MONEY-SHIFTING. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH WINDSTREAM!! THEY ARE THEIVES!!

Bunch of liars
I had a phone bill the previous month of approx. $113 for phone, internet and TV. This month they sent a bill of approx. $324 claiming that they performed some services which were not done as my spouse told them the request was cancelled. This cancellation was apparently never relayed to the billing department from the service department. The added $120 for service fees which were never done and were requested to be cancelled.

How can a company be so stupid and get things all out of order on a simple service as a phone bill??? I have yet to find anyone at Windstream to admit that they made a HUGE mistake. We need some advocacy group to take this complaint all the way to the State Attorney Generals office.

They lie to their customers and steal their money
A phone call solicitation resulted in my agreeing to the $49.99 lock-in bundle for phone and internet, plus $9.99 for an additional phone line. I was promised that the first 30 days would be free and that the first bill would reflect a $50 rebate and a mail-in $50 rebate for the wireless modem. Then I got a bill for $214. A call to the Buffalo area number, where the order was placed, resulted in my being assured that I was not told the above and that the mail-in rebate was all that they offered. When I talked to a supervisor, I was given the same answer. The local Jamestown, NY billing office seems to be innocent of deception.

Don’t believe the quotes that Dish or Windstream give you in their bundles
Don’t believe the quotes that DISH or WINDSTREAM give you in their bundles. They will give you a low quote, tell you that you will get a DVR, 4 rooms in HD, and once it is all installed and you are under contract…here come the hidden costs that nobody told you about. They will charge you an extra - $10 for the HD, and $7 for each receiver and DVR. So your total each month will be at least $24 higher than they quoted you, but now you are locked into a two year contract and screwed. Stay with cable. No contracts!

no dsl here
i have windstream phone service here, but the funny thing about it is i have called them out to my home 6 times in 3 weeks for a very poor team of repair people who don't know crap or do anything here to fix problems on my phone line period . Static and clicking noises on 2 seperate phones i pay for, and funny thing i cannot get highspeed here period internet with them, but everyone else but us few on our road get highspeed here . I have called them they do nothing but tell u crap 100 different stories oh maybe in 2 years, but we don't know . The most craziest company and worst i have seen in my 42 years of life !!! They are worthless to me . Don't ever get this company period to have anything for you !!!
