I have Windstream broadband and was experiencing a noisy thus slow internet connection.

Windstream tech came out to check Windstream's side of the line and found no problems.

Windstream tech asked me if I would like for him to come inside to determine if there was a problem from within the home.

I asked the tech if there would be a charge for him troubleshooting from within the home. Tech said yes there would be a charge if he came in to troubleshoot so I declined and the tech left.

Well the next bill comes due and there is an additional $50 charge.

A Windstream customer no-service person by the name of Angel at ext. 2712 answered my next call. I simply asked to be provided with the written policy detailing the justification for the $50 service call on my bill. Angel indicated there was no written policy detailing why I was charged $50. I then said that I will not pay an arbitrary charge. I also said that I will not continue to do business with anyone that robs their customers. Angel then said she would be happy to send me to the person responsible for disconnecting customers. Of course I will be leaving Windstream but I pressed the written policy once again. I demanded to be sent any written information that could possibly express the rational for the charge. Angel insisted that there was no written policy specifically providing for the charge on the internet or anywhere else but that she would have her manager email me "info" within the hour.

An hour has gone by and no written policy justifying the charge has been emailed.

Windstream is criminal. Canceling my account shortly.

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.

Windstream had messed up my service during transfer from one address to another address, how hard is that to do! I had all my services bundle, and they were to transfer all, they had messed it up and debundled my package with Dish, I have always payed my bill, did not receive bill untill one month into new home, then came the bill 370.00 because windstream debundle my package with dish so know I have been told that I have to pay for Windstreams mistake, THIS IS WRONG!!!

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!!

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.
