Worst provider of cable tv, internet and phone service I have ever dealt with! Customer service is non existent! Can’t find one person that is happy with suddenlink. Next step is filing an FCC complaint! Fees are ridiculous and subject to change without any notification! Late fees added at their discretion with no explanation or notification to customers!

Your better off stretching twenty miles of string and hooking up a couple of tin cans. Horrific service. Worst install ever. They actually ran my business coax through a gravel driveway and said that fine. No problem right. I’d give almost anything to have Xfinity except the $80k it would cost to run the line. Suddenlink will eventually go out of business but not till they steal every dime out of your pocket. If you have options, cross these twits off your list.

NOT RELIEABLE. Can not hold internet connection more than 20 minutes. Voice over IP calls are lost / hung up. 100 MBps plan has real internet DL speed of 10MB to 50MB. The speeds varies widely from minute to minute, for no apparent reason. Seems like they are changing servers on me every few minutes which causes dropped telephone calls. Very poor service will be giving them 2 more weeks to fix it, then I will be requesting refund and just go back to DSL which for me is very reliable here.

Paying a $115 a month (after complaining that my bill jumped over $25 in one month) 1gig stuck pulling .5 mbps - 1mbps !!!!!! WTF. Suddenlink is complete trash. Highway robbery and cant wait for competitors to expand their fiber lines!! The only thing Suddenlink is good at is being consistently inconsistent with their crappy internet service and their constant price increases for piss poor excuse for a utility. They don't even deserve the 1 star or Id go lower.

OMG this has truly have to be one of the worst companies to deal with. The incompetence is not believable. We have scheduled service techs to come out 4 times over 4 weeks and they simply do not show up. When I asked to speak to a manager she explains to me that the only solution is to place a whole new order. What she was trying to explain to me made zero logic. I truly cannot understand how companies like this are in business. Just don’t get it! Save yourself a lot of stress and go with ANY other providers before attempting to deal with these morons.

Poor service, constantly going up on your bill and not informing you. If your service is out, you have to wait anywhere from 5-7 days, so therefore you have no service during that time. You can't even swap your modem out anymore, they schedule a technician to come out and that could take 5-7 days as well! Is there anyway I could share this with other people that are having the same kind of problems also?

Had a to pay service tech to replace outdoor buried cable. After putting a TEMPORARY cable on top of the ground in late October 2019, he informed me that another service tech would be out to bury the cable in 2 weeks. After waiting a month no service tech showed up. After 4 phone request and a visit to our Suddenlink office which would be the 5th request still no service. That being said April 10, 2020 a service tech showed up and FINALLY buried the new cable. My math is average but I believe that is close to 8 months. Suddenlink has NO MORE chances with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this crisis suddenlink says hey we can help you with internet so that kids can learn still learn while the schools are closed down. Really, what they saw was an opportunity to take advantage of people in this time of need. Suddenlink will not help you with internet if you have a owed balanced with them and to make matter worse they won't let you pay it out either has to be paid in full up front as if we are already not having trouble paying bills already. So in reality people who owe them money , they do not care about your kids education. They are only concerned about getting paid.

Too bad ZERO stars is not an option, they’d get ZERO. Suddenly you’re not linked. Two nights in a row,, promises made, “your technician is scheduled to be there between 6 and 8 pm. Two nights in a row, promises broken. Two days in a row following up with their reps, why didn’t your reps show up. “Oh, I don’t see any scheduled appointments “. Gypsies, tramps and thieves.

I’m going to cancel and it’s not my thing to put down bad reviews at all i usually stay quiet for things like this but this is not fair for me and all who having to go through not being able to get in contact with customer support, super high prices, and other inconveniences.

If I could give a negative score I would! They lie, cheat, steal from me. Raise my rates with no notice, charged me for years for service I didn't get and declare the hours I waited for customer service was never logged, so it didn't happen! I'm 59 years old, and this is the worst company I have ever dealt with in my life. They just jacked up my bill another $10 WITH NO NOTICE!

Horrible service!!! For the outrageous amount of money I pay every month. I’d like to have an Internet/Cable/Phone provider that I can depend on. I know “stuff” happens and things break, but two nights in a row is pathetic. Furthermore, everything was working fine until the other day when one of their trucks pulled up out front and a technician started messing with stuff on the pole. My Internet/TV/Phone all went out for about 45 minutes, but it came back up when he left. However, I lost everything again that night.

Suddenlink is the worst provider you can get. Since Sept 2019 they have been horrible. Cable , internet and phone never works. Techs come out to repair and next day interruptions all over again. My services has not worked correctly since I got them installed back in Sept. Was suppose to get a promotion and it never happened. Now I get a bill for $456.00 for one month of service. Every representative I talked I cant understand their language and I get discnnected and have to start over with someone else. They make no notes on your bill please run from this company

one star too many. they recently went through a migration and bill has not been consistent. their servers are usually down when trying to review bill or make payment. if you make payment with agent, they charge $10. when calling, you are either on hold for approx. 1 hr (call backs take longer). chat can be 'on hold' for approx 30 min. since taken over by Altice, they have gotten so much worse.

These people take incompentence to a new level. I have been a customer of their internet/phone service for about 6 weeks. During that time I have been without phone for half that time. They have sent out tech support people, have "reset" my modem numerable times and have escalated the problem to the next higher level, all without success. When I actually end up talking to someone all I get are hollow promises of improvement and credit for lost service, both of which are yet to be realized. My recommendation? Get your phone service elsewhere. Internet is OK, I suppose.

After holding for 1:45, was told to take Tivo to an office in Georgetown for replacement. Since the person on the phone barely spoke English, I called again and did the call-back thing. I waited about two hours for the callback. The second person verified I could take it in for replacement or wait about 10 days for a tech. I drove all the way to the office and waited for 30 minutes. Then was told they didn't have them there! Now the tech is supposed to be here between 11:00AM and 2:00PM. The "where's my tech" feature is saying sometime between 3:00PM and 4:00PM.

I don't usually write customer reviews but their service has been the worst. Bills arrive after the due date. They charge late fees on their late bills even though we are not enrolled in paperless billing. Can't get through to anybody on the phone. Their automated system calls back to arrange a follow up call three days later. This is for my college student. We personally use Spectrum. Their customer service blows doors on Suddenlink.

I am one of Suddenlink by Altice's valued customers. I have been trying to stop service for my deceased mother. 1 hour 41 minutes so far on hold and 21 minutes waiting for online chat. This company is a joke and cares nothing about its customers. I have 2 active accounts myself with a combined monthly bill of almost $500 dollars. I see how much they care

They have the worst customer service I have ever experienced in a company. The live chat people don't know anything. You're wasting your time with them. Telephone wait times are extraordinarily long and it's a total dead end. I cannot get an email address for anyone at the company. I have one service but am billed both on the business side and the residential side. I am being billed twice each month for internet service. Each side says it's the other sides problem and they can't help me. No one has any authority to fix any problems at all.

Extremely unreliable service and support is a joke. Went to pay my bill online but internet was down again (this happens several times per week) so I called customer service..... they offered to scedule an appointment a week out oh, and they would have to charge me a $10.00 “convenience fee” if I wanted to pay my bill by phone! Company does not care about quality at all, their tech actually said the infastructure is old and will continue to be unreliable until they upgrade which is not in the plans.

They make it impossible to cancel. They even lied to get me into not cancelling today. They then try to sell you anything up until the point of cancellation. Internet service is dodgy and constantly having outages, at least once a week if not more. They will still charge you though. Overpriced and downright crappy.

Our tech was scheduled to hook up service Sunday evening. We needed the internet for work the next day. The tech never made it, despite 2 one hour chats online, and 4 phone calls. The best Suddenlink could do is schedule someone for the next day in the evening, and we're not even sure if they'll show up. Unreliable.

I kept wondering why my bill was going up every few months, and I decided all I really needed was basic internet. I received the cheapest price I could get, but within months it went from $26 to $58 for the lowest speed internet and before I could cancel and pay my last bill it went up again.
