After review of an interaction on 5/*/16, with our disconnect department, *** found the customer did request to disconnect their TV and phone services and only wanted to keep the internet serviceThe request to disconnect the services was not properly entered into the system causing the
customer’s billing for all three services to continueUpon receipt of the complaint, *** contacted the customer and apologized for the poor experienceThe account was back billed to the original date of request and a credit of $was applied to the accountThe customer accepted a new one year promotional offer for the internet services and was pleased with the outcome

The customer complains of no internet for days and slow internet speedsCustomer also complains that he is not receiving the 100megs he is paying forUpon investigation of this complaint it was determined that the customer was in an outage situation and was issued a credit of $for the time
of the outageIt was explained to the customer that he does not have 100meg speed but actually has 1meg speedsHe was educated with that speed he is subject to buffering if too many devices are connected to his network at onceOnce Suddenlink offers a higher speed in his area, the customer will receive marketing information for the speeds he is eligible to receive in his area

The complaint filed by the above-referenced consumer has been forwarded to my attention for investigation and handling. In his complaint, *** *** states that when he disconnected his Optimum services, he was informed that he will be charged for the remainder of the month despite the
termination of his services. *** *** is displeased with Optimum’s recent modification to its terms of service, which provides that service subscriptions are renewable on a monthly basis with no refunds provided for partial months. Optimum, like many other entertainment, telecommunications and subscription services, makes its services available on a monthly basis; providing customers access to our high-quality products for the entirety of their monthly service period. We take customer communication of policy changes very seriously, and communicated to our customers in various ways for two billing cycles prior to the change, including: prominent and colorful messaging via banners on the front page and remit slip of the bill; a detailed explanatory bill message with a web link to the new Terms of Service effective on October ***, 2016; and additional email messaging for electronic billing customers directing them to read the bill for updatesIn subsequent bills, it states: "Service cancellations are effective on the last day of the then-current billing periodFor more details, please visit optimum.net/terms." In addition, when a customer calls to disconnect their service, our representatives are instructed to remind the customer of the monthly period, and provide the option to schedule their disconnection date at the end of the monthly service period. For customers who choose to disconnect their service early and return their equipment, they can still continue to use our out-of-home services, such as: the TV to Go networks that they can watch on their mobile devices; Optimum WiFi’s more than million hotspots, as well as Cable WiFi hotspots; Optimum e-mail; News Networks and ***. Attempts to reach the customer were unsuccessful, and an e-mail was sent to the customer's e-mail address with our direct contact informationOur Disconnect department is available by phone from 8AM to 8PM Monday through Friday, and from 9AM to 6PM on Saturday

On 11/*/16, Suddenlink spoke with *** *** regarding her install concerns. The customers first concern was regarding the Technician stating that he did not have time to install the cable in the Office. We asked the customer if she was adding a TV or a modem in that room. She stated that she has TV, and the room where the Modem was installed is fine. Suddenlink advised the customer as to why a TV is needed for each outlet that is activated. We explained to the customer that the technician cannot verify that the outlet is working perfectly without seeing that it’s working on the Television. The customer stated that now she understands. Suddenlink advised the customer that when she gets the new television, she can call us to come out and activate the outlet Suddenlink than asked about being charged a fee for the technician to come out again and activate the outlet in the office. The customer stated that when she called into the call center, an agent quoted her $100.00. Unfortunately the agent did not ask better discovery questions and understand that there was an outlet already existing. The agent quoted the customer a Wall Fish, outlet install and the upgrade fee which came to $100. We explained that to the customer, and asked her if she wanted a new outlet run in the house, and she stated no. We explained those charges, and that if she needed that work done, there would be charges due to us running new line, and installing a new outlet, which the customer understood. Suddenlink apologized to the customer for the miscommunication she received from the agent Suddenlink addressed the customers last concern in regards to the location of the cable box and was advised by the customer that she had asked the technician to install the cable box in her bedroom, where her Television was. The customer advised that the technician installed the cable box in the living room. The customer did have concerns in regards to the location. We asked the customer if she would like us to come back out and move the cable box to the desired location. The customer advised she was thinking of moving the TV into the living room but was concerned that she would not be able to hook up the cable box. Suddenlink advised the customer how to connect the equipment and that even though the cable was working in her bedroom, the customer is still not getting the HD channels or the cable guide on her screenThe customer then understood as to why the cable guide was not on her TV in the bedroom(The customer is in an unencrypted area and her TV has a transponder). Suddenlink advised the customer that we would be more than happy to schedule a technician to come and hook up the TV and the cable box in the living room. The customer stated that she will think about it and attempt to hook it up herself, based on the instructions provided by Suddenlink. We advised that if she has any issues with that, or for any other reason, to contact us and we will take care of her concerns. The customer was grateful for the follow up and addressing her concerns. The customer was asked if she had any other issues in regards to the B.B.B. Rebuttal, which she did not before ending the call

On 3/**/17, Altice contacted the customer to discuss his complaintAltice informed the customer that it is company policy that he must speak with Sales/Retention should he wish to disconnect a whole service such as TVAltice advised that this would work the same way should he request to add a

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ***, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
the answer is unacceptable.I have received a call as a courtesy since the business is required tothe only promotions available are in the case I will sign up for additional services, such as TV and Phone, Which I absolutely won't, this means tripling my costthat is not a solutionI was never offered that as a part of the resolution to this case, I have learned that after calling again myselfthe customer service representative has advised me, only after I asked, that in case I purchase my own modem, Optimum won't be able to support it, which is a complete scamthey force customers to pay a modem fee, or buy a new modem from their online store (more business for them), but leave the customer in the dark in terms of support. also, leaving me a message on my cell phone does not indicate the problem was solvedtheir follow up was unsuccessful, I am also ready and willing to hear what they have to offer. All I know is my bill is now $higher than the last (paid in full via auto-pay) and this is unacceptable. best regards

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ***, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
Optimum is lying about it againThey did not give me a reasonable and justifiable reason for late fees and restoration service feesI did not receive any notifications that my service would get disconnectedThey are cheating with me to make profit out of meOptimum did not make any single effort to resolve the complaintThey did not provide any single reason of late fees and restoration feesThey have once again demonstrated their unethical practices and policies towards their customersOptimum is the biggest cheater in the worldI think I have to consider of disconnecting their services since they cheat with their customers to make money of them. As I mentioned in the settlement of the case, my account is entitled to be credited an amount of $in order to make fair and transparent
In order for the Revdex.com to appropriately process your response, you MUST answer the question above

Optimum is focused on providing our customers with the best content experience possible, and we are constantly evaluating which channels best meet the needs and preferences of our customersOur agreement to carry Starz and StarzEncore has expired as of December **, and the channels are no
longer available on our TV lineups. We understand that Starz’ decision to pull their programming from Optimum’s system was very difficult for our customers, and we regret the inconvenience that was caused by their decisionHowever, we have launched several new and exciting channels for our subscribers’ enjoyment, depending on the TV package subscribed to, which include Hallmark Drama, Sony Movies, MGM, and the Cowboy Channel. Every month, Optimum pays fees to TV networks to carry their channelsAs a result, we negotiate dozens of contracts each year, the majority of which are renewed without disruption. The rising cost of programming is the single greatest factor in higher cable prices, and Altice USA has been fighting hard to hold the line on escalating programming costsSince our last contract renewal, Starz began offering an over-the-top streaming service that consumers could buy directly through Starz at *** or through Hulu. Despite our attempts to reach a deal that made sense for all of our customers, Starz insisted on terms that would have forced us to charge customers more than what Starz’ over-the-top streaming service costsAn Optimum specialist spoke to *** *** to address her concerns regarding the removal of Starz/Encore and educated her on the new channels added to the lineup*** *** understands credit is not being issuedTell us why here
