No warning. Bill jumped from 48.00 to 73.00 . I called and even before I could really get started the rep started to explain to me nothing last forever meaning my promo I had expired. Basically letting me know that was that. Told me if he could find another package cheaper he would call me back. Right! Lol. They just know they have so many people over a barrell due to remote areas and limited choice of providers they can really treat you anyway they want knowing there will be someone becoming a new victim as soon as they hang up with you. No valued customer service here.

They take the trophy as the worst business I have ever dealt with. They flat out lie. Their customer service is non-existent. When I ask to speak to a Supervisor, there is never one available. They get nothing right, and I mean nothing! They are the only provider in our area and everyone I know can't stand them. How they stay is business is beyond me!

The worst company that I have ever done business with Service appointments that did not show up Faulty equipment Tech support in foreign countries with very broken English Unable to solve billing problems because you cannot talk to a real person Top executives will not answer emails I have spent hours trying to solve a billing problem They immediately recognize your phone number and switch you to a robot asking for late payment

All good until I moved and called to cancel my service - they do not pro-rate. So because I cancelled 4 days in to the new billing cycle I have to pay for the whole cycle !! I have never had to do this before - and I have moved 4 times in the last 5 years. In rural areas they are often the only service available - but this does not give them the right to exploit their customers. Suddenlink is terrible.

The WORST company ever. The service has been intermittent since I signed up after moving to my house from my apartment. I call probably every few days to get help but they can NEVER do ANYTHING or they CAN do something but will charge you a ton to fix a problem THEY CAUSED and won’t give me any for months where I spent WEEKS without internet! Absolute complete TRASH of a company. DO NOT SIGNUP

1. They charge a high fee for service. 2. The service for internet provides an insufficient download speed (up to 16 mbps which often drops to 6 or 7). 3. Their customer service is non existent. No real person to talk to for updates. 4. Their service is often out for extended periods but annoyingly out several times a day for a minute here and 30 seconds there. As a comment regarding price and speed, a new competitor is coming to our area with 365mbps at 2/3rds the cost. That will be one of the happiest days of recent memory when I can get rid of Suddenlink and their crappy service.

I'd give negative if I could. I have been scheduled to be installed 5 times, 4 times I took off of work to be home. They tell you they are delayed throughout the day, dozens of calls to customer service with them promising they will be showing up, but nothing. Nobody shows up. Ever. I finally cancelled and will never use Suddenlink. They are awful.

Called on the 1st of July to cancel service b/c we were moving. Called again on the 26th to confirm cancellation on the 28th. Not once was anything mentioned about cancelling before the 24th (end of billing cycle). So I got charged $69.80 for 4 days of service. When I called to dispute I was told that the cancellation policy is listed on the bills. While it might be, we were paperless and auto pay. Good customer service in letting customers know (or even a friendly reminder) would’ve been helpful. We will NOT be using Suddenlink again.

atrocious would be a kind way of describing this company. if you are lucky enough to live in a place with any other option i would strongly advise going with them. horrible costumer service(who you will have to deal with a lot), an internet that is slow at best and often down completely and surprise charges on your bill. if they weren’t the only option in so many places i’m not sure that they’d still be in business. it’s absolutely miserable having them as your provider. the one star review i left was very generous and if negative stars were available they would have been used.

THis is the worst cable service ive ever had! Do not get it with tivos. The internet constantly cuts off around 20ish times a day not including once it hits 10 at night.. and at certain times its back to back.

If I could give less I would. And unfortunately where I live there is no other alternative. Been old hold with tech support for over 2 hours over 2 days and 3 calls. One ended with - we are having technical difficulties- call back later. Lots of wasted time. And I have to pay for it. The internet constantly goes out. Sometimes for only a few minutes and sometimes much longer. The response when I called about it was- can’t do anything unless you call us while it’s out. By the time you get done with these ridiculously long hold times it usually back up- so they can’t help

The WORST ISP EVER! customer service rep. always shuffling you around when you needed their assistance. Constantly lies to you so you would hang up the phone. Bad services, my services were completely cut out for at least 4 times within one month and all my business is reply on it! Then, they would charged you with something they never did, when you call to complain they said they will fixed it but they would still charge you regardless! I wouldn’t stay if is not because they are the one that have what I need!

Nothing to like about this company. They can't provide the services they are selling and they are overpriced to begin with. They continously send "upgrade grade" offers, my question is how can I upgrade when they can't even provide the internet speed I am paying for? Call customer service, spend 45 minutes on hold only to be transfered around because no one has the ability to make a decision. Can't the FCC do something?

Where I live we don't have much of a choice. Otherwise I'd drop them a long time ago. I have to accounts (dwelling) at the same address with internet and cable TV . I wanted to cancel cable only at one they cancel the wrong dwelling . It took them four days to get it right. And five hours on the phone. They set up the account. And they still don't know their azz from a hole in the ground. That's just one of many examples

They are pathetic! You cannot speak to a live person when you need one. If you do happen to get one, they don't speak English or they refuse to allow you to talk to their supervisor when they absolutely CANNOT help you. They tell you your bill goes up because "there aren't any promotions available to you right now". You cannot get any satisfaction no matter what problem you're having. I cannot stand them since Altice took over. I would give them a minus 10 if possible!!!! I am so Annoyed at them.

Suddenlink is the absolute worst company! They lied about giving us unlimited data and when we received our bill we had over $1400 in data cap charges! How does a company get away with this? They said they can’t help me as they’re protected by the FCC which is a complete lie, I have done my research on this and there’s no such thing with their company. If you have other options in your area for service please go to them! Save your money and sanity and steer clear of Suddenlink!

I would like to give Suddenlike less than 1 star but it is not available. Suddenlink is the worst company I have ever dealt with when trying to get some resolution to an ongoing list of problems. They lied to me to get me to switch and not once charged me what they said they would. I am paying for up to 400 Mbps download speed and only getting about 80!!! Now they are telling me it is my fault and I will be charged a fee for someone to come out and fix my problem. Tech support said that it was not my fault. If you switch to them, good luck!!

We still have suddenlink but I wish it was wiped off the map because to call someone down to look at our internet just for them to tell us there's nothing wrong is $60 plus our internet goes on and of constantly every few months.

ZERO STARS ! I started Suddenlink service before they were altice. They were great. They WERE until altice took over. Billing pricing is inconsistent. Prices for basic cable internet are sky high - $90/month for 35-50 MB download speeds. Started paperless billing 2 months ago and they still keep sending me paper bills - AND charging me the extra $ for doing so. Tried calling them and apparently they're contracting some tamale stand in the Yucatan to answer their calls. I can't wait until I die or move out of their monopolized service area !

Suddenlink is the worst internet company ever. Unfortunately, they have a monopoly in my area so I cannot switch to anyone else. For the past 8 years that I have had them, I have paid the highest prices for the slowest, most inconsistent service. Their customer service is even more horrible than the internet service. I am currently going on 5 days without internet service due to an "outage in my area". As soon as another company offers sevice in my area, I will be leaving Suddenlink....I can't wait!!

Very un-facilitating organization. If you ever have a need for reliable internet service do not go with this company. I work from home and the reliability issues were constant. When I called for my outage, they could not get anyone out to correct the issue for days. They even wanted to me to pay extra service insurance so I would not get charged if the problem was my fault or my responsibility. Needless to say I cancelled my service and were not friendly when I decided this. BEWARE!

The engineers also frequently say how bad their company is and tell me what the cons are of the company. Suddenlink doesn't care and its monopoly needs to change, there needs to be robust legislation introduced that can be enforced by a Gov to put restrictions on this kind of behavior from such a company

When I signed up with Suddenlink it was because of the commercial they were running to sign up not and there would never be a rate increase. I have had 2 rate increases in the last year. The most recent is they were reducing my special discount by $20 resulting an increase to my bill. I retired from the telecommunications industry after 37 years and I have never seen any telecom stoop so low in my life. do not trust this company.

This is the worst service provider in the U.S. Suddenly! You not connected!!!! It is nearly impossible to get "customer service" on the line, and they will be of little help when you do get to speak to someone from somewhere.

Once I said I would be looking at other providers, the service rep said she heard the marketing team was “working on” some other promotions for existing customers but there was nothing definite.

I’ve been with Suddenlink over 25 years and in the last few years they seem to be in a downward spiral. You can’t go to the local store and get anything done, they give you number to some call center probably in some other country. I will most likely cancel with Suddenlink and go with AT&T, it’ll cost a little more and have the dreaded 2 year contract but at least I’ll have local support. Suddenlink keeps raising their rates evey quarter so they’ll be more than AT&T before long.
