improper billing
I had FIOS internet service then it was turned over to Frontier in my area. From that point Frontier never sent me monthly bills but would send cut-off notices every 2 months. I received multiple calls about pending shut-off but these calls could be not answered. A message was left with another number which I had to call back on. However, the number for paying the bill (which the staff said was the only way to pay) was automated and did not recognize my acct number. Hours of calls and I finally found out that the phone number left (or reference # on my bill) was not correct, for internet only customers. This happened every two months so I went into a Frontier store to attempt to straighten this out. They said they don't deal with billing and called billing for me. I gave billing my credit card to take care of the charges and to set up automatic billing in the future which they said internet only customers needed to do. However, I cont. to get calls about pending shut-off. Called again and they could find not find evidence of the prior call. They transferred me to the automatic billing and I paid. I called again to cancel service. About a week later noted that I was charged via my credit card although I had already paid. Called again and they said yes we owe you $115+; " not sure yet of the exact amount". It will take 4-6 weeks to receive this and there is nothing we can do to make it come any faster. This is an abbreviated version of the trouble with getting through, hold time, etc. This is the worse company I have ever dealt with and I am in my 50's!

Bait and Switch speeds
You will NEVER get 10 mbps speeds from frontier as stated in their advertisements - their network is frail, aged, and OVERSOLD, meaning they continue to pile on new customers on an already overloaded network. Speeds in real world terms are close to dial up speeds. (remember the days of the AOL modem sounds?.. that's frontiers DSL Max)
Also, billing errors are common with frontier (meaning you get overcharged) so watch your bill.
Better yet, do yourself a favor and steer clear of this company. They are nothing but headaches, excuses, and bad service!

Awful internet
1. I had 1MBs package and it worked ok, but was slow.
2. Decided to upgrade, and after checking online, I saw that I can get 7MBs.
3. Called in and setup for 7MBs.
4. When service was completed, I tested the line and it showed only 3MBs
5. I called, they didn’t know what was the problem, and sent a technician.
6. The tech came in and said that, the sales team doesn’t know what they are talking about and I only qualify for 3MBs because of the distance, 11000 feet from office.
7. I called to switch to 3MBs, and they told me that the tech don’t know what he is talking about and that I should be getting 7MBs.
8. After being transferred like bouncing ball so many times, I spoke with another tech, who said that, the tech that was at my residence is more accurate, I only can get 3MBs.
9. I said fine, just switch me to 3MBs.
10. After switching to 3MBs, my connection failed completely and worked sometime to 0.4 MBs.
11. I called them, and after escalating the issue, level III tech told me that they all wrong, I only can get 1.5MBs.
12. I asked level III guy, how did the tech who was at my residence was able to read 3MBs, he couldn’t answer that, saying that his test from a distance is more accurate.

Billing
Dear Sirs, I have had to contact Frontier every month that I get a billing because I believe that I'm not being charged the correct amount!!! I have High Speed Internet AND home phone with unlimited long distance...my total bill for the two items should not be over $55 AND my bill amount is always way more than that AND then I got BUNDLED and thats when my bill amount went up!!! I'm charged $21.99 for High Speed AND then its always $Sixty some for my landline...I thought that TO BUNDLE would be cheaper??? I have been so frustrated over this FOR MONTHS and STRESSED ! It seemed that for every month I called about billing, of course, I get a different Agent AND told something different from each one AND GOT NOTHING SETTLED!!! I paid whatever amounts in order to keep my phone, but feel that I over-paid...I do believe that today is my final day on the BUNDLE CONTRACT ( YIPPEE! ) I would like to drop the long distace AND just keep basic phone with NO EXTRAS!!! I just want a Residence line!!! Thank-You, Tami Bloom

Terrible Service
I switched from comcast bc I had to have reliable internet at home for evening work. Frontier assured me they would be able to provide this. A few months after being with them my internet slowed to to about 15% of the minimum gaurenteed speed (all the way down to under 200 kb) and randomly disconnected completely every few minutes. This caused me to constantly lose connection with remote servers I needed for work. I called them and they told me the problem would go away in a couple days. A week later I called them and after 2 hours on the phone convinced them that there was indeed a problem. They put in a ticket with a local division who checked it remotely just like the people on the phone and decided there was no problem so they closed the ticket. Now we are in week 3. I call them back and have to sit through another hour of the same questions and trouble shooting only to have another ticket opened which hopefully won't be closed yet again based on what they see from 50 miles away on their computer.

If my internet doesn't work at home I have to sleep at my office. I've been doing this for three weeks. And of course I am sure they plan on charging me.

Frontier's costumer service has huge gaping holes making them ineffective at servicing their customers beyond merely signing them up for service.

Fraudulent bill
My mother-in-law is receiving bills for an internet security suite package which she never had. The billing period is supposedly from some time in 2008. There are several good reasons why this bill cannot possibly be correct. First off, she has never had a computer, thus, she has never needed a security suite. Secondly, she suffered a stroke in 2007 and she has lived with my wife and I ever since. We handle all of her business, and would know if she had purchased a computer and signed up for a security suite. This all stems from Frontier having purchased Verison, and they claim that she had an outstanding balance with Verizon. Nonsense! Verizon would have tried to collect this debt if it were legitimate. Scallywags & crooks!

ghost bills
My mother-in-law had phone service through Verizon, which was recently bought out by Frontier. Their first bill was $98.00, then they told my us that there was a $250.00 back balance, and claimed that they sent the bill out, but we never recieved it. They are scam artists by every meaning of the word.

fraudalant billing practices
I moved from my residence on March 6, 2008. I cancelled services when I moved into my new home March 28, 2008. Frontier Communications handled my landline, internet and cable bundle package. After cancelling services Frontier continues to bill me for services on the cable portion only. When I call Frontier they blame it on the cable carrier they link with saying it their issue, yet it is Frontier who is billing me. Service was appropriately cancelled, all equipment was returned. I have new service with another carrier at an entirely different location effective 28 March 2008 yet Frontier will not correct the billing error. This is a fraudalant billing practice. A company can not bill for partial services when the entire account was appropriately cancelled.

Early Phone Shuffoff
With prices rising on everything including the phone bill, I decided I needed to cut back on the phone services as my agreement was over. I thought about just keeping my prepay cell phone, but I found that Time Warner offered a better level of service than Frontier $20 a month cheaper. By switching, I would have my cable TV, Road Runner and Phone all on the same bill for only $10 more a month than I was paying for just my phone.

I wasn't porting my old number so I was instructed to discontinue Frontier. This was on a Tuesday, and I told them I wanted it terminated on Monday. The said okay. When I came home from work on Wednesday, I had no phone service. Did they think I wanted them to backdate the shutoff?

Personally, I think they did it on purpose because I was terminating service. Now Time Warner came upon a glitch that will delay my services for a few days, but it is not specifically their problem. I live in one township and the phone number is for the adjacent township. They have to program that flaw in their system so 911 will give the proper location. This problem originated with Rochester Telephone(absorbed by Frontier) back in the '60 s.
