No company should be able to get away with what CBeyond does. Talk about controled criminal activity! I thought gangsters were a thing of the past.

Extortion

It is estimated that the criminal gang activity cost the US Government more than 10 billion a year through protection rackets.[25] Monthly

payments can range from 457.00 for a small shop or bar to 5, 000 for a larger business. Targets who try and opt out the legally obtained

contract are usually harassed, often through astronomical termination fees

Well CBeyond you have proven that disgusting business practices are alive

and well, please read CBeyond's termination clauses below. If this aint extortion I don't know what is.

It sounded good. Also I was told that should I be dissatisfied, breaking contract would be a minimal fee. The phones were sabotagued 3 times. My business is dependent on the calls getting through. It required many calls with no results although things were said by the representatives that indicated something was wrong. I was called a liar by insinuation. My employees were accused. In the end after losing $1000s of dollars in business they credited my account with $500. Dumby names were found on the account and my service messed with. If security is what you are looking for. C Beyond is not it. If you are looking for a business that listens to you...C Beyond is not it.

Today I got another walk-in sales call from these aggressive sales people.
I have asked various sales people from this lousy company to stop entering my space.

Every month they feel that they must continue to visit me even though I have told 8 different sales people at least 10 times that I am not interested in their services in any way.
One even promised that if I gave him my card he would put me on their don t solicit list.
This never happened and the most recent saleman promised me the same thing and showed up again a couple weeks later like he had no idea.
I have a "no soliciting" sign on my door as well.
I am reching out so that no one will do business with these slimy weasels.
One guy even interrupted me during a client meeting and would not go away.
I hope no one ever hires them!

CBeyond sales staff misrepresented their services. The quality of their Internet and cellular phone service was horrible. Attempts to cancel the contract after 90 days of hell and resolve the issue resulted in the company violating FCC rules and extorting money from our company by canceling all service without notice. CBeyond also refused to release our cellphone numbers and domain names to a new provider.

We went with Cbeyond thinking we would save money and simplify our phones, website, mobile, etc... BIG MISTAKE! This company is the absolute worst. We were lied to about everything. We were promised we would have a technician come in, install the new VOIP system, transfer our cell phones, and transfer our website. We were also told we could send callers to individual voice mailboxes when they called in. None of this came true. Sure they came in and set up the phones, and then they gave us a booklet and told us we were on our own. After two days our service went out and we could not get it fixed for a week. Thank God we didn't switch over our cell phones or we would have been screwed. The voicemail was inconsistent at best and when we asked how to send callers to voicemail they told us our phone system could not handle this task. We never switched anything else over to them. It's a good thing to because once they have all your services under their control and there "contract" they have have you by the nuts. Don't be stupid, there is a reason so many people are complaining about this company. The customer service is a joke, it doesn't exist.

DO NOT PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET!!!
