I would like for the internet service that I pay for to be stable, functional, and reliable.  If that means that they have to upgrade their infrastructure, so be it.  Currently, I pay for a service that I do not receive.

Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. Bell did adjust the invoice amount after I complained that it was higher than the written quote.However, this has happened repeatedly over the last year & a half.They are either incompetent, have lousy software, or are deceitful & unethical with bait and switch tactics.  Shameful.They are forcing me to review their competitors offerings.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.   Problem: I have not received the internet speed that I am paying for. I have called the cincinnati bell customer service countless times about the my internet speed no results. My devices are buffering and not running right because of the slow speed. COMPLAINT TWO. I have not received any bundle deal discounts with [redacted] or cincinnati bell. Both companies is giving me the run around about who fault it is about why the discount was not applied. I have called both companies in regards to this problem. I have already paid two billing months without and bundle deal applied. The contract was a bundle deal from start. The customer service reps at cincinnati bell were no help to getting the bill correct. I also spoke to the supervisor she wasn't any help as well. It seems to me that cincinnati bell and [redacted] bundle deal departments are not communicating with each other on making sure the bundle deal discounts are applied.  Desired Outcome: I WOULD LIKE CINCINNATI BELL BUNDLE DIVISION TO CONTACT [redacted] ABOUT MY BUNDLE DEAL FOR MY BILLS FROM BOTH COMPANIES CAN BE APPLIED. I ALSO WOULD LIKE FOR CINCINNATI BELL TO GIVE ME THE INTERNET SPEED THAT IM PAYING FOR. I'M PAYING FOR 5MBPS AND BARELY RECEIVING 3MPBS ON A AVERAGE

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. If I paid $76.54 for services from October 14 - November 13, 2014 and my service was terminated on November 21, 2014 and the monthly fee is $96.89, then why do I owe $95.99 for services for approximately one week of services   and for services that were never delivered in full?

I do apologize for not including your new monthly bill amount.
 
Going forward, your bill will be approximately $126.65.
 
Please note that the changes were made to your account on July 21st and your bill cycle is on the 7th of each month.  Your August bill is going to have prorated charges. You will be billed 14 days at the previous rate and 17 days at the new rates.  Your September bill will show the $126.65.
 
Again, please contact us if you have any additional questions or concerns.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  Sadly, we will be switching to another cable/internet carrier who is able to provide wireless internet that will work with my VPN. I was told multiple times that a manager would call me over the past 2 days and never heard from anyone - very disappointing customer service. I do appreciate Davis trying to figure out our problem, but I no longer have time or energy to spend on getting this fixed. It's a bummer that Cincinnati Bell does not prorate our bill, which means we need to stay on our plan with mediocre Internet for 3 more weeks - my initial request was to have my refund be paid via check and allow us to cancel our plan if the problem did not get resolved. We switched from our old provider to support a local company, and it's upsetting that the customer service has been so poor during this process.

After investigating the issue, I do see that customer has our services as Fioptics along with the phone line and a battery back-up which she agreed to. All services appear to be working fine and once an upgrade to Fiber is requested, we cannot revert back to copper.
Cincinnati Bell is...

committed to providing our customers with outstanding service. We apologize for any inconvenience we’ve caused you, and appreciate the opportunity to better serve you going forward.
Thanks,

Regards,
[redacted]  My view of he matter is simply this: the clothes washer door is not yet repaired.  It is unconscionable that a business can come into your house, damage something, then expect YOU to do the legwork around the repair, THEN simply consider the matter resolved because they followed a flawed process THEY THEMSELVES CREATED.  This is perhaps the worst ran company I have had the displeasure of dealing with - on many levels.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  The company responded that only one call was made to CS.  That is a very untrue statement.  I reviewed my call log on my cell and found three calls to CB.  In addition there was one call made from a landline phone. Each time support was involved I was told there are no errors on the account or outages in the area even though we were experiencing problems, which is why I initially purchased a new computer.Only to find it was not a PC issue. The statement there was an outstanding balance on the account is also untrue.  I returned the equipment and paid no money toward a balance due.  I have the receipt showing a $0 balance.  There were only two occasions when a CB employee was respectful and courteous, one being the technician that was sent the other was the female employee at the West Chester CB Store when I returned the equipment.  Very nice and helpful..  Your company still failed to address the damage done to my yard and landscaping (I have pictures after the install). Your company has the worst customer service I ever experienced.  I have never in my life yelled at anyone on the phone until talking with your CS

This company is LYING!! I have attached the copies of the emails when were I asked Scott B. (their sales rep) about the referral program. He replies YES and tells me that I would receive a $100 credit, as well as my mother. We then have a discussion about pricing options for her address [redacted]. I provided her with the quotes and connected the two of them and he then signed her up for service. It's funny that this company would flat out LIE but they did not know that I had proof!! I told them when I kept getting the run around that I had the email but they kept transferring me to one to department to the next. Then they said that they were going to speak with Scott but it clearly shows on my account and my mother's account that he is the sales rep. I guess he lied as well but you can see from the dated emails, that this is not the case. I can provide the full email conversation. I just took a screenshot of the one part but I have all 17 emails.This is company needs to apologize and add the $100 credit to mine and my mother's account immediately. Revdex.com:

Per our conversation yesterday evening, I have placed a
12 month Whole-Home DVR promo...

on your account reducing your DVR service rate to
$0.00 for 12 months. I apologize that you have been having issues with your DVR
service, as you have a busy family. We have been upgrading our platform in
recent weeks to provide a better DVR experience for our customers. Unfortunately,
during this upgrade we have encountered some glitches.
I have scheduled for a senior Technical Support
specialist to make contact with you at 5:30 this evening, February 24th.
As mentioned on my voicemail, they ask that you reboot your Set Top Box, as we
have no indication that this has been done since your previous repair. Please
expect a call this evening at your scheduled time. If this does not resolve the
issue we will set up an appointment to come out.
It is never Cincinnati Bell’s intention to upset or
frustrate our customers. On behalf of Cincinnati Bell I apologize if we have
done so regarding this matter.

Per our records a payment was made on 1-30-17 in the amount of $119.46. The payment was returned by the bank on 2-1-17. Customer was on auto-pay and that was deactivated on 2-1-17. Our process and policy states that is a payment is returned we deactivate the auto pay and put a check hold on the account ** NO CHECKS TIL 7/31/2017 **-. The service was disconnected for non-pay on 3-29-17. Customer called in and made a payment to restore service. Service was restored on 3-30-17. The process we have in place is that we do not restore service right away until we know that the payment has been processed and cleared the bank. The customer has a hold that when they are denied the service can not be reinstated except thru the financial care team. The late fee was waived for the customer on 3-27-17 in the amount of 8.95 as a courtesy. There will be no other credits issued.   Cincinnati Bell considers this complaint closed.

RE: [redacted]
 
Cincinnati Bell is responding to your RevDex.com complaint.
 
I have reviewed your account and I tried to reach out...

to
you yesterday August 11th. I left a voicemail since I didn’t get an
answer. I apologize but the representative you spoke to on 7/25/15 misadvised
you about the refund check and when it would be printed and sent to you.
 
The bill that printed on 7/22/15 wasn’t the final bill
since the disconnect order was not placed until 7/23/15. The 7/22/15 bill
totaled $268.18. $161.22 of this amount was a past due balance. The current
charges of $106.96 were for service dates 7/22-8/21.
 
You paid the $161.22 past due balance and the $103.97 credit
was applied for the one month free promotion you were offered. This covered
service dates 6/22-7/21. Your payment plus the credit for one month of service
brought the current balance on your account to $2.64.
 
Your final bill will print on 8/22/15. Since the
disconnect order was backdated to 7/22 a credit will generate for billing dates
7/22-8/21 on this bill. Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to push this credit
through before the final bill prints on 8/22. That is why we are unable to send
the refund check out before the final bill prints.
 
Once the final bill prints I will follow up personally
and make sure the refund check is printed out and sent as quickly as possible. This
usually takes 7-10 business days.
 
I have also documented this incident and sent it to the
representative’s supervisor for coaching and training.
 
It is never Cincinnati Bell’s intention to upset or
frustrate our customers. On behalf of Cincinnati Bell I apologize that we have
done so in this matter.
