We inquired about getting service. They came out to look at our pole to see if it could be installed (we live in the country). Nothing was installed. I never had the service. They guy left and submitted 172.19 in charges. The phone was not hooked up because it required us to do something on our end and we chose not to. We did not get the service.
Frontier is treating us like we had the service and has ruined my credit report.

***DURING THE TIME IN QUESTION, WE NEVER RECEIVED A BILL OR ACCOUNT NUMBER. WE DID NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL OR A PHONE CALL. FRONTIER ACKNOWLEDGED SENDING THE BILL TO AN INCORRECT ADDRESS BUT THAT WAS NOT UNTIL SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHEN WE NOTICED WE WERE CHARGED. THE MATTER IN QUESTION IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT I HAD SERVICE. THE POINT IS, I NEVER GOT A BILL, I NEVER GOT AN ACCOUNT NUMBER, I DID NOT GET A PHONE NUMBER UNTIL ALL THIS DELINQUENT BILL TALK STARTED. I WAS TOLD LATER THEY HAD THE WRONG EMAIL AND PHYSICAL ADDRESS. HOW DO I SAY THIS PROPERLY? THE PHONE WAS NEVER CONNECTED OR USED OR HAD. THESE CHARGES SHOULD BE DROPPED. COME TAKE PICTURES OF THE RESIDENCE TO SEE NO PHONE HAS EVER BEEN HAD.

September 2019, sold my house and called Frontier to transfer service effective Oct 5, 2019. Gentleman asked if I wanted to put account on hold. Said if I ever moved back to that area, a hold would prevent me from having to re-qualify and there was no charge. October 5, 2019 I verified that my service was disconnected. Frontier is not available in the community I live in now and I had to change wireless providers. Apparently the hold was temporary. Why would I pay for wireless service to a house I sold? They have my current address to send the final bill to, which I promptly paid. Sometime after October 5 service was re-instated. I have spoke with several people to resolve the situation. Collections are not calling me anymore, but I continue to receive a bill every month for $81.70 (I do not owe)

My husband and I switched over our internet service due to horrible customer service were I was on the phone with this company for a total of 10 hours to try to pay my bill on line and the inability of the company to come out and service the system for almost two weeks I canceled my service after paying my entire bill on Dec 17, 2019. I then begin to recieving a new bill of 25 dollars for Dec 24th and on for the next billing cycle. I called the company at least 2 more times each time the reps notified me that they did not see a bill on my account and that it must be a mistake to just disregard. That I did now I have received a notice from a credit company stating it has been sent into collections. My experience with this company was horrible as I haven't even gotten into the fact that their system continued to call/text me for two months telling my schedule tech would arrive soon and the reps I spoke with on the phone had no clue what they were doing as I still was never able to pay my bill on line due to my account wasn't set up after speaking to multi people via phone and their communicator via web service. Please look into the bill matter companies shouldn't be allowed to scam their ex customers.

· A trouble ticket had been entered on Ms.’s account on December 17, 2019 for Internet issues prior to her scheduling an order to cancel service. The trouble ticket should have been cancelled when the service was cancelled however, due to an error, the trouble ticket was not cancelled. This open trouble ticket would cause text messages to still go out. The trouble ticket was cancelled on December 20, 2019. This trouble ticket did not generate any billing or charges to Mr..

In January of 2020 I had an interruption of my internet service that I purchased from Frontier Internet. This happens very regularly and has since I moved to this address in 2012. This has been such a common occurrence that normally I don't notify Frontier about outages because the problem generally rectifies itself before they are able to get a technician to come out and diagnose the problem. Their infrastructure is in bad need of repair. Their "boxes" are commonly seen torn open, with the housing not in place and stay this way for months at a time. Every time it rains the lines get wet and until they have had a few days to dry out, service will be interrupted. This particular outage was on day three or four so I decided to contact them. Upon being connected to a customer service representative I was told that it would be seven days before a technician could come diagnose the problem. I decided that I was no longer going to be needing their services because they were not able to provide me with reliable internet service. This has been an ongoing problem since 2012 and I was not willing to proceed with paying for a service I was not getting. I requested to cancel my service. What should've been my last bill arrived and I promptly paid it. All was well until two or three days ago when I received yet another bill from them. I opened it and saw that I was being charged $9.99 for a "residential broadband processing fee". I did not know what this fee was so I placed a phone call to the number provided on the bill. I was connected to a customer service representative who read off my phone number to me and asked if it was a good contact number. It was, and I replied as such. Then they read off an email address to me and asked if it was a good email to reach me at. It was not. They had an email address that ended in "gmail.com", my email address ends in "hotmail.com". I gave them my correct email address and they updated the information in their system. When asked how I could be assisted I relayed the information about the $9.99 charge. The customer service representative essentially told me that the charge was to shut off my internet service. She further stated that it was impossible to waive, credit, or suspend this charge. I asked to speak with her manager and was told that I was currently in ninth place to speak with her manager and the hold time would be two to three hours. I told her that I refused to pay a fee to disconnect service. Especially since Frontier Internet has failed to provide me the service that I was being charged for. She stated that the fee was in the contract that I agreed to. I never received a contract from Frontier Internet and advised her of such. She claimed that the contract was sent sent by email to every Frontier Internet customer after initial installation. I pointed out that until approximately ten minutes prior to this Frontier Internet did not have my correct email address and that I could not have received this contract, much less agree to it. Furthermore, by sending out a contract after installation would automatically bind a customer to a contract they had no option to oppose. This is not a legitimate way of doing business. I was told that if I didn't pay the $9.99 cancelation fee that it would be sent to collections. I have been a customer of Frontier Internet since 2012 and have had numerous issues with this company over the past eight years. I have endured multiple outages. Frontier Internet has failed to provide a service that I have paid for without fail for eight years. To be charged a cancelation fee of $9.99 when I most certainly did not agree to such a charge prior to subscribing to their service is preposterous.
Frontier CommunicationsThank you for referring the
complaint of *** to our office for review. We appreciate Mr. bringing this matter to our attention.The Complaint states that:Mr.
*** advises that when he canceled his Internet service with Frontier
he was charged a broadband band processing fee of $9.99.Mr.
*** feels that due to multiple outages with his Internet over the
years he should not have to pay the $9.99 broadband processing fee. Frontier has investigated the above
statements and offers the following response:Frontier advises that the Broadband Processing Fee is charged for all Broadband Internet disconnects to cover the cost of processing the disconnection of the service at the central office or remote facility. Frontier spoke to Mr. today and agreed to issue a onetime courtesy credit of $9.99 for the Broadband Processing fee. The credit will leave Mr. with a zero balance.We trust that this information will
assist you in closing this complaint. We
regret any inconvenience that Mr. may
have experienced as a result of the above matter.

Frontier communications confirmed my address could receive services, guaranteed modem delivery on February 18th, confirmed a 30-day cancelation grace period and that the billing cycle would not produce my first bill for 4-6 weeks. My address isn't serviceable, the modem came on the 21st, guaranteed for the 24th, am being charged for early cancelation of services and for services rendered, first bill is due on March 13th, 3 weeks after services were activated. I contacted Frontier on the 21st, they credited me the service cancelation fee and scheduled a service disconnect for February 24th, though they clarified I will be charged for services between the 18th and 24th. Also, they would be sending me a return label for the modem. I later received an email showing that a credit had been applied to my account to completely cover the costs and nullifying the bill.
I have received no return label, no confirmation of cancellation of services, credits attached to my account have been removed since the 21st. The local office refuses to speak on these matters, the online chat option through Frontier isn't functioning, and the phone number isn't connecting.
Thank you for referring the complaint of ***
N *** to our office for review. We appreciate Mr. bringing this matter to
our attention.The Complaint states that: Mr. states Frontier confirmed his address can receive services, but Frontier did not provide a connection. Mr. states he was guaranteed modem delivery on February 18, 2020. Mr. states he was advised of a 30-day cancellation grace period and no bill for 4-6 weeks.Mr. states he was advised he would be responsible for the service charges when he requested cancellation of the service on February 21, 2020. Mr. states he received email stating his bill was adjusted in full, then credits were removed.Frontier has investigated the above statements
and offers the following response: Frontier has reviewed Mr. service address and confirm his internet service was activated on February 18, 2020. Mr.’s address is part of a RV park, service is provided up to the NID (Network Interface Device) attached to a permanent post/pole supplied by the RV park. It is customers responsibility to connect to the outlet inside the NID. This is industry standard for mobile customers to receive servicesFrontier has reviewed the chat Mr. had with the Frontier Representative Theresa. Per that chat, Mr. Show was advised ‘the soonest activation date is 2/18 – you will receive your welcome kit that includes the equipment and written instructions on how to set up the services.’ No guaranteed delivery date was discussed.Frontier finds that Representative Theresa mis-advised Mr. that if he ‘choose to disconnect your broadband service after your first 30 days of service, a $9.99 processing fee will apply. Your 1st months bill is not due until 4-6 weeks.’ Frontier apologizes for the misinformation provided. The Residential Broadband Disconnect Processing Fee is applicable to all Frontier internet customer’s when disconnecting internet. Frontier did not offer a 30-day grace period. Frontier generates a bill once installation order completes with payment due 5 days prior to next bill cycle. As Mr. did disconnect prior to the 30 days, Frontier has agreed to honor and issued a credit of $9.99 for the Residential Broadband Disconnect Processing FeeFrontier has reviewed notes from February 21, 2020 when Mr. requested to cancel the service with order ***. Frontier Representative Nicolas adjusted the quoted Equipment Delivery and Handling Fee of $9.99. No other credits or debits were issued on the account, per notes due to Frontier providing service to the premise.We trust that this information will assist you in
closing this complaint. We apologize for any inconvenience that Mr. may
have experienced as a result of the above matter.
Thank
you for referring the additional concerns of *** to our office
for review.The
additional concerns state:Mr. states he was offered a 30-day grace
period.Mr. stated our Agent advised he would not be
billed for the Residential Broadband
Disconnect Processing Fee if he disconnected prior to 30 days.Mr. states his credit card was debited in
full as a recurring charge.Frontier
has reviewed these additional concerns and offers the following response:
Frontier does not offer a 30-grace period.Frontier regrets any misinformation
provided by our chat agent. In this instance a credit for the Residential Broadband Disconnect Processing Fee was applied on 3/11/2020 and reflects on the 3/18/2020 statement.Mr. agreed to utilize Frontier
auto pay which pulls the balance printed on the statement. Any adjustments
applied mid cycle are not reflected until the next billing statement.After careful review it has been
determined the charges/fee is valid. In this instance, Frontier will provide a
1 time courtesy refund in full to resolve the concern. A full refund will
be processed in 30-90 days.
We
trust that this information will assist you in closing this complaint. We
apologize for any inconvenience that [Customer] has experienced as a result of

We have been customers of Frontier Communications for almost or more than 20 years. Recently, the internet service has been terrible. It drops all the time, by all the time, I mean several times an hour, every hour, all day long. I called and talked with someone regarding it. The answer (according to their technical support department) is that there are too many customers using the lines, so the service has become poor. They are no longer offering this service in my area, we are grandfathered in. We cannot change our plan in any way because that would put us into a "new" customer status, and then we couldn't get the service. So, the Customer Loyalty department offered to reduce my bill to $70/month plus taxes and fees (a savings of $17.98/month). So, this month my bill came, and it's not changed, same price, same everything. I called them to inquire about it on 2-24-2020, and they now say, they can't give me that lower price. I eventually talked with an associate named Lenora from the Connecticut office who told me on 2-24-2020 that she would fix it and she would call me later on that afternoon. No call. I called the next morning (2-25-2020) and spoke with a Lisa in the disconnect department who said there is "no way" they can give me that price. That's it, nothing more they are going to pursue.
Frontier CommunicationsThank you for referring the
complaint of *** to our office for review. We appreciate *** bringing this matter to our attention.The Complaint states that:Ms.
*** states she was quoted a lower price for services but is still
being billed at the higher rate.Frontier has investigated the above
statements and offers the following response:Frontier advises Ms. was quoted lower pricing for 12 months on February 7, 2020, which included slower internet speed that was not completed.Frontier states an order was placed on March 5, 2020 to honor the price point previously quoted for 12 months. Frontier confirms a credit was placed on Ms. account to match the price previously quoted for her February billing statement.Frontier spoke to Ms. and advised of the above.We trust that this information will

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me, as long as they follow through as they propose. My concern is that during the discussion with Donna and after speaking to several other Frontier employees previous, that my service will actually just be turned off and I will no longer have any service from them. I fear this because I had previously been told repeatedly that if anything changes with my account, my internet will simply be turned off. Hopefully that does not happen.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I totally accept their resolution, if it would stick, as you can see, again, my new bill does not reflect the $70 charge they agreed to. It is now $80.00. I don't understand why they don't make good on what they offered to me. I actually am getting so frustrated, I'm beginning to think this isn't even a fair resolution because it is taking my time each month to file a new complaint.

I have been trying to get internet at my house for the past three months. Each time I have called, someone different answers the phone and my account can never be found. I have spoken numerous times with customer service because the office in Marion, IL apparently cannot deal with any customer problems and they always transfer you. I have no internet or have been able to get internet. The technicians refuse to come to my house. I got a bill in the mail today (02/25/2020) saying I owe frontier $108 for a past due bill and my next bill. I have never received any type of bill from them to be able to even have a past due on my account and I don’t even have the internet set up at my house to be charged for anything. They are not resolving my issues and to be honest this is a very childish ring around the Rosie type of business where no one knows what they’re even doing. I do no recommend this internet service to anyone. The customer service people have no idea what to do or how to handle any of the situations. They have told me that the old tenants that used to live in my house still had internet there and that I cannot get internet until it Is shut off. I do no understand how that pertains to me considering I’ve been living in my house for the last three months and so not know who the old tenants Even are.

The complaint states that:

I was told I would get wifi for $37.99 a month and with a phone it would be another $10.00 a month. I called the number from their website in December 2019. I was told there would be no hook up fee if I could set it up myself and I said yes I could. I asked when my bill would be due and was told it would be due a month after I received the equipment. I received the equipment on December 24th. It did not work until a week later and I was then told I would have a hook up fee because I wanted the home phone line and I told them that when I ordered I specifically asked for the phone line and wifi and was told there was NO hook up fee. So then they said ok call back after the phone starts working and they would drop the $75.00 hook up fee since I was told there wouldn't be one, so I did that. I called in January to pay my bill and it said I owed $212.00 so I called them AGAIN and said what is this about my bill is only supposed to be $48.00 a month and two separate people assured me that it just hadn't been updated and I only owed $48.58. I payed the $48.58. Then today I got online to pay my bill and it says I owe $241.00. So I called AGAIN. this time I was on the phone with a man for about 20 minutes or so and he kept saying "this doesn't make any sense I'm not sure whats going on here, definetly looks like you were over charged" he put me on hold a few times and then next thing I know we had been disconnected. So I called back and spoke to another man that said I would need to pay the bill and then they could credit me anything that was over charged. I said absolutely not. I told him to cancel it and he said it would cancel on its own if I didn't pay the bill and would go to collections. I then called the local number for frontier and was told that she couldn't help with the bill but that the customer service people should definetly cancel the service. So I called again and was told it was scheduled to be cancelled on March 16th. I told him I was not paying for any more time and that I wanted it cancelled now. He said I could only cancel at the end of the billing cycle. I was repeatedly misinformed about what they were billing me and now they say it will be sent to collections.
Thank you for referring the complaint of Mr. to our office for review. We appreciate Mr. bringing this matter to our attention.The Complaint states that:•Mr. states that he was offered a voice and data package for $47.99 before taxes and fees, along with no set up costs.

Frontier has investigated the above statements and offers the following response:•Frontier records confirm that the promotional rate was $47.99 before taxes and fees, once the voice service was successfully established. •Frontier has issued a service adjustment of $75.00, along with an adjustment for monthly charges from 2/26/2020 to 3/17/2020. The total adjustment amount is $122.21 after taxes. •Frontier records indicate that Mr.’s credit was not affected as a result of his account issues.

When I subscribed for the frontier internet, I was told that I'll have to pay $49.99 plus taxes but my JAN 2020 bill came to $148.38. There are several additional charges which I was not aware of and can't afford to pay. I tried contacting customer care but they just offered to waive $9.99 which is not acceptable. The leasing company also offered only Frontier which is why Frontier is taking advantage of their monopoly. I would need Frontier to waive these additional charges.
Thanks

Alleges service cannot be shut off mid month forcing full month of charges. Makes you call 3-8 times to resolve their issues of poor records, staffing, etc... Then they cannot on another several attempts get the addresses correct to ship back their hardware when the correct address is the updated billing information. At which point they hire a TPA to harass you to fulfill the return when you have no box, label, etc... to do so.

Nothing about this process has been satisfactory I should not have to run down Frontier and be hassled by third-party vendors when we follow through on all the things and have the documentation to prove the initial cancel on the 16th that was emailed to us. On multiple occasions we attempted to send back the modem in question and in the most recent phone call we were told to dispose of it. Had I not made contact with the Revdex.com Frontier what had me throw out that modem and then attempt to charge me $100 for failed return a product. Furthermore I was given no satisfaction with respect to the lack of cooperation for name and last name first initial as well as contact numbers ticket numbers or any other way to verify these communications had transpired. It is my opinion that Frontier is operating an incredibly shady and unfair business practice.
Nonetheless the matter should be resolved upon the completion of the March billing cycle and presumably the modem return box I sent to the proper address which has been confirmed via phone call at least two times.

In Nov. '19 my internet service was inadvertently downgraded due to Frontier errors. To get it back to where it was I was told they'd have to charge me a $75 installation fee plus a $9.99 equipment delivery fee. They would notate that I would have a $84.99 credit due. I needed to call back to have the credit applied. I called back to get the credit applied and was told they see the notation but I would have to wait until the the bill was issued.
12/20/19 Called to get the credit applied. Stuart told me he saw a notation but couldn't read it. Asked for a Supv. who told me they could only issue credits up to $25 and I should call back 4 times. I declined and he told me he would submit a credit for $84.99.
12/30/19 Called to see if credit had been applied. Tory told me it had been submitted but not approved and to pay the full amount.
1/20/20 Credit still not showing. Called and Kendra told me she sees the credit has been approved but not yet applied. I deducted $84.99 from my payment
2/19/20 Credit still not showing and I was charged an additional $9 late fee. Called and Jayga told me see sees no notes or anything about a credit. She told me she would institute a dispute for $84.99 and personally call me back in 24-48 hrs. That was 6 days ago.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. However, the response from Frontier is not totally correct. I was originally on 6mps, erroneously downgraded to 1mps and put back to 3mps because 6mps was no longer available at a $20 additional cost per month ($10 is being waived).

I have been trying to straighten out a bill with Frontier since December for phone/internet/dish bundle. I have spoken to multiple customer service reps who each one has given me a different answer as to why they are billing me for my dish service that I canceled on January 6th. I called in December to cancel and was told I was paid until January 9th so just make sure I cancel before that date. I was advised by dish and frontier to not cancel in the middle of my billing cycle. I canceled dish service on January 6th. My bill generated on January 10th- I pay everything online so called to have the Feb 9- March 10 dish charges removed from my bill. I was told just subtract the dish charges and pay my balance due and the February bill would reflect my credit for the dish bill. My next bill should be due March 5th! I get a phone call from frontier on February 17th my service will be terminated if I don't pay a past due balance. So call number 4 to frontier results in (after a 40 minute on hold time)customer service rep telling me I owe the old balance because I canceled in the middle of a billing cycle. I quote the previous call that I should subtract dish charges and pay balance- rep transfer me to billing who promptly hangs up on me!! I call back get person number 3- ask for a supervisor- she proceeds to pull up my bill and tell me that I owe the old balance because frontier paid dish for my February service. I say- mam I canceled that service on January 6th. She tells me my refund needs to come from dish but I still owe frontier. Would I like to take care of that today??? Nope - I'll pay you when I see my refund check. Then I get another disconnect notice in the mail that I owe late payment to guess who?? Dish network!!!! Billed by frontier. Are you kidding me??? My dish was shut off remotely 10 minutes after I made the call to them and you mean to tell me frontier can't get the billing right for 7 weeks??? I only have frontier service option for me at this time or they would be gone!!
Frontier Communications only sign up a fix price contract for 12 months. That is ok if that is their policy. After 12 months, they raise price like 25%, that is too high compared to the other provider. I need to call them to find a current promotional deal. I called on 1/3/20 and their representative Alex found me a deal with the exact service I had before: FiOS Digital Voice, Prime TV, FiOS Internet 50/50, FiOS QIP Whole-Home DVR and FiOS HD STB for a monthly charge of $134.70. I asked her to estimate the taxes and other charges, the total will come to $144.34 or so. The new deal confirmation number is ***. The new price should start with the next billing cycle, i.e., starts on 1_28-2_27_2020 statement and last for the next 12 months. However, when the new bill came in, it remains as high as the amount before I called, $185.32 or so. Frontier is notorious about this. After they agreed to a new deal, they still charge you the old high price again and again until you complained to Revdex.com. They should be punished for keep doing this over and over to customers. If you keep the old records, you can find my complaint about Frontier and *** on the same issues many times. Their Revdex.com rating should be lowered to D.

I subscribed to Frontier Communications internet service in November of 2019. They offered me the internet service for $39.99 per mother plus $10 for a router which was given to me at the time of the installation. From day one I encountered connection issues and complained to the customer service. They send a technician over to check the system. He replaced the router with another identical router and was not able to diagnose the issue. I searched online and found out the issued was the router which did not have strong signals. I bought a much stronger router and replaced it with Frontier's router and my issued was immediately resolved. I no longer had weak signals and my internet connection was improved drastically. I called Frontier and reported to them about it and asked them to take their router back and stop charging me $10 a month for a router which has never worked. They denied. However, they sent me a return box and mailing label to return their router which I did. So now I do not have Frontier's router in my possession but still am being charged $10 a month for it! I find this very unfair. As a matter of fact I think of them as thieves, because they are charging me for a router that I don't have. They are forcing their improper equipment for the reason of making more money. This is the most dishonest way of conducting busienss.

This company is ridiculous in September of 2019 we requested to upgrade internet service as I work from home. Upon the installation of the upgraded equipment the service failed to work resulting in NO wifi and I was forced to use my cell phone hotspot to work. Technician came out a 2nd time and stated previous technician did not complete work properly. The Wifi worked for a quick 20 minutes after technician left then would only work for a few minutes here or there resulting in more calls to IT and this was repeated by 2 additional visits by technicians with NO regular working internet for nearly 40 days. We cancelled and went to another service provider. Since then they keep threating to send us to collections to pay for the installation equipment and service that NEVER worked. We should NOT be charged for equipment nor installation when service NEVER worked. They refuse to remove the $113.03 charges for this! This company and its RUDE employees are ridiculous and have no business dealing with the public.

I have purchased internet service from Frontier Communications for the last 5 months. In that time the service continually comes on and goes off. It is in consistent. Additionally, when it is off I call customer service to get a solution and am given the run around for hours at a time. I have asked for supervisors only to be told no and have been hung up on after waiting on hold for a supervisor for 2 hours or more.

They bill when you have requested cancellation 02/22/2020 and still charge you until 03/17/2020 and then charge another fee. The cable is NOT hooked up at all I should not be charged for services that are no being used. As consumer I have the right to CNX my service after my contract as been fulfilled. And then another charge to disconnect.

I have Frontier Fios internet service and have chosen to use my own router. Despite having my own equipment, Frontier forced me to allow the installation tech to install a frontier router, telling me I could later return it and take the rental fee off my bill. Now that I have installed my own router, Frontier is telling me that I cannot take the fee off my bill and I cannot mail in or return their router to a store. This is fraudulent practice, they forced unnecessary equipment on me I didnt need, lied to me about what I could do with it, and now theyre billing me for that same equipment I dont use.

As they have stated, I reject the idea that my contract stipulates I am required to rent their router and pay a fee. Their pricing advertising is fraudulent (they advertise $40 per month for 500Mbps internet, but it is impossible to pay that price due to their rental fee). My contract does not state I am required to use their router and does not state that returning their router wont remove the fee. In addition, I was told by the installation rep when asked directly that I would be allowed to return the router and remove the fee, which is the resolution I am seeking.
