Scam and cheating
Telecommunication Company Windstream--has billed me for over 1 1/2 years for a telephone service, they don't own and is billed by another provider, Time Warner Cable.

Windstream acknowledge the error but refuse to fix it; in addition, decline to answer a BBB Complaint. The Account is a phantom account for a telephone number that is already in service under Time Warner whom has contacted Winstream but receive no answers.

In the meantime, I have had about 4 broken promises to fix issue but to no avail. Winstream has now credit the phantom account and moving funds within and demands payment for the correct account in which they have already receive payments, but continue to credit to the phantom account.

This story is so unreal...I can't make this up, and they kicker is they don't know how to fix it, and threaten to ruin my credit for account they already received full payment, but due to their billing system, they don't know how to correct, so I need to make additional payments. Can so one explain this to me...

Unauthorized phone and internet service
I have been charged over 300 dollars by this company due to IDENTITY THEFT, my cousin used my name and social security number and activated phone and internet service in my name once I found out I immediately had the service discontinued.

sevice loss during the rain
everytime that it rains we've lost internet connection or it gives us about a few minutes of service every twenty minutes or so. Recently it's gotten so bad that we've lost internet service and the phone all together during the rain storm. Obviously it's something to do with the connection outside of the house, but the tech told us that it wasn't when he came to our house when it wasn't raining. I plan to demand help with our service but we shouldn't have to demand it four times.

slow
Ever time you call nothing is done, only later to find out that you have been lied to to just get rid of you. My computor takes no less than 15 seconds at the very best to change pages, with 50% of the time never at all. Is there not a no way something can be done. I pay for extra fast and it is not at even extra slow speed. I am being told that it is being worked on, it will be a certain time I should see a difference, and when you call back in a week they denie having ever recieved a call, and ask what are you talking about, no one ever called and we never recieved a complaint. no one here by that name, you must have complained to some one that wasn't even related to windstream as if I was so stupid that I called Kentucky fried chicken and complained to them not us, when they answer as windstream? This is the most crazy out fit I have ever dealt with. HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP! PLEASE!!!

Poor service
Windstream service is getting worse by the day. Can not seem to get any service or help from anyone. People i do get to talk to can't speek english. Why do i have to talk to someone in India to get proplems solved?

Non published number
For three years I have been paying for a non published phone number. But to my surprise, it is published in the AT&T phone book, which 9 out of 10 people use here. So whats the point! I am paying for nothing. I called windstream. They told me it is not published in their phone book. OK. But most people don't use their phone book. I was always under the impression it was not to be published in any phone book! I wanted credit back for the 3 years. They said no of course. I called AT& T. They told me Windstream is reponsible for letting them know what phone numbers are non published ones so they would not print them! Windstream on the other hand tells me they are not responsible! So who is right?? I will get to the bottom of this! SO if you think you have a non published phone number, dont count on it!!

Transfer Phone Number
I wanted to transfer my phone number to T-Mobile Home phone service through my ISP. I stopped using Windstream as an ISP because of them being unreliable and always blaming my equipment for the problem. It seems that to do this, you have to allow your mobile phone co. to make the request even though it's your number and has been for over 20 years.
So, I did this on 5/30/09.
The request was rejected by WS because some of the information they require was wrong or missing. On 6/11/09 another request was sent to them by T-Mobile. Rejected again on 6/18 for the same reason even though I called Windstream to find out exactly what was needed and the person with whom I spoke guaranteed me that the information submitted was correct. On 6/25, the 4th request was sent and finally was ok'd.
On 7/2, the transfer was finally done---- but only half way. The land line is still active and all calls made from any other WS number come in on that line. All other calls come in on the VOIP line. WS says that it will be Monday, 7/6 before that problem goes away.
Folks, that's 36 days to get those idiots to make a simple transfer. I have filed a complaint with the FCC. I also told them that if I owed them any money, they could whistle Dixie for it---- These are the very same folks who "give" you 100 minutes of long distance with a bundled phone bill and then if you make just one short call, it winds up costing you $8 with all the access fees and taxes.
Perhaps had they provided service that was decent, people wouldn't be bailing dropping them for VOIP and cellular options. Do they seem to give a crap?--- hell no. Will I help them lose customers?-- Damn right!

Constant calls from Telemarketers
We are constantly receiving telemarketer calls during the day and
night. I put my name on the not to call registrar but this didn't help.
I called windstream and they stated that if I pay them 4.99 a month
that all of my telemaketing calls would stop. I agreed to the charge
but I am still getting telemaketing calls. I feel that this company is
working with the telemaketers so that they can increase their telephone
bill charges.
