I would rate at 0.5 but that was not offered. My complaint is mostly (90/100) geared to the bloated, over paid, unconcerned, just plain greedy CEO’s!

Had to trade our TIVO for this poor excuse of a box from Altice/Optimum/Suddenlink! My word, the tech who designed this probably thinks it is easy but nothing can be further from the truth! Definitely NOT user friendly to us older population! Figuring out the recording wasn’t difficult but having to reset the begin and end times by a minute is ridiculous. Really?!?! Doing a good job include OVER CHARGING along with a MILLION commercials. Explain how much money do you need to get from the lower masses before you are happy. Are there really different cable companies or have you all merged into one big conglomerate? Cable, in the beginning was…

o whom it may concern ,

I am extremely dissatisfied with my recent interaction with your company. I called and spoke with two different agents. One agent named Sarah told me, when I expressed my interest in decreasing my monthly bill , after going over with her for almost 40 minutes she came up with a plan of $64 a month. After I agreed and thought the transaction was completed, She then said she needed to transfer me to another agent named Sam Who said he was a manager. Before she transferred me, she assured me she would stay on the phone with me, so I didn’t have to repeat everything we went through and break it down with the new agent. She put me through with him, and then told me that it was all settled and to speak with the new agent and left the conversation. . When I spoke with…

On 01/10/23, a guy in a blue OPTIMUM truck did not ring my door bell but rather banged on my door HARD. I wasn't expecting anyone so I did not answer; however, when my dogs began going crazy I noticed he had let himself into my back yard.

I pulled my screen door down to ask if I could help him, not once did he identify himself, state he was with OPTIMUM or apologize. Just non-chalantly stated he was disconnecting services. " He was very rude, not really concerned about acknowledging the fact that he let himself in to the back of my property without my permission then stayed in front of my house for 15 minutes.

I called OPTIMUM while he was still sitting there and they had no record of him being here but said it was not uncommon because it could be a contractor. Advised if I felt unsafe…

Moved to a new area, only option for high speed internet is with Optimum (Altice). Scheduled for installation the November 28th, 2022, but no tech came and got pushed to next day. Tech comes next day but his work order is incorrect, so I call and have it fixed but they try to push my installation another 2 days saying they can't contact technicians.

I have the technicians info so I call myself and he comes to install equipment, but no internet access. Technician says to call them and activate service, I call and they can't get it to work. I try again on the 30th, nothing done and I get pushed to December 1st with another tech visit appointment.

Nobody came or called again. 4 days in and service has yet to start. Every call they just try to push off to another day, and they don't honor…

I set up an account to have basic TV self install. I was told by several customer service reps that I can self install. I was told to pice up the equipment and was refused twice when I got to the store.

I'm getting basic TV which is the coaxial cable. Lce been to the store twice and they refuse to give me the cable boxes. 3 customer service reps assured me that I was clear to pick up yet they will not give me the basic TV boxes.

I certainly plug in a cable . I set up and paid for service over a week ago and was told I have to get my house rewired. Yet, I've been told by several of your reps that I do not have to change my type of service. Please give me assistance. I'm extremely frustrated.

I thank you for your time. Have a good day and stay safe.

I have an internet account with Optimum in Tyler, Texas. The address of the service is 3400 Varsity Drive, Tyler, Texas 75701. We have had HORRIBLE customer service experience. The account was disconnected August 15th, 2022 & all equipment was returned and I DID NOT authorize, nor did I return the equipment.

It took 8 phone calls and over 8 hours, and 3 days to get the service & equipment in working order again. I was also required to pay a reconnection fee when I DID NOT RETURN OR REQUEST THE DISCONNECTION.

The account was AGAIN disconnected on October 23rd. I also DID NOT REQUEST A DISCONNECTION OR MOVING THE SERVICE. When I called Customer Service they said it was an error from Optimum & they would have to fill out a form to go to the service department to get it reconnected.

My DISABLED father’s cable box said hold, I called and they tried to reset it, the second box won’t even power on, was told a tech would be there between 2 and 5 that day after waiting at his house for hours called back at 5:10 and was told no one was coming scheduled appointment for next day.

Called back to speak with a supervisor was told a call back in 2-3 hours. Disabled man now without tv till god knows when, your company does not appreciate your customers, which are your paychecks !!!!!!!

net lost the ability to receive or get emails on her cell phone. It has been almost impossible to get someone on the phone (a tech) to help, endless wait times. The one time we did get to a tech we could hardly understand what she was saying because of her accent, she said she could not help us as we bought the Apple phone at Verizon even though we use Optimum for our email service which is working fine on our computer.

She went to Verizon and they said it is an Optimum issue so she went to an Optimum store in Bethpage where they tried to help her but said she has to call for tech support. It has now been a week and we are getting nowhere other than frustrated.

We have been long time customers, pay our bills on time, etc. Please have a tech that…

I returned equipment to them in July of 2021 when I cancelled my service. I was given a receipt as proof. Despite having a receipt I was told the non returned equipment fee was still reflecting in my account and I had to present at a physical location to have this removed.

Despite asking several times for an email where I can just sent the receipt as proof. This was the poorest most inefficient customer service. Their monopoly needs to end on Long Island.

My day from hell.. thanks to Suddenlink. My initial problem was A problem with Tivo “ flickering” when viewing recordings. Contacted Suddenlink service initially and set up appointment. Issue was not resolved first time. Tech said there was issue with signal. He left.

Next Tech came out and said signal fine. Left. Next service guy came out today. Said he didn’t have replacement for Tivo. He said he had one in his truck that was the newer Tivo. He installed. Did not work.

Said he needed to replace Modem. Did that. Since then he was unable to get anything working. No TV, no internet… none of my TV’s have worked since then. My security is not working… my Amazon stuff not working. I’ve spoken to Service office three times today.

Was told tech would be out today again to fix. It’s 8:00pm now…

If Altice is the new owner of Suddenlink Communications, I want to say that your Customer Service is awful. I have had no internet since Friday 07/03 and have traded modems in twice. Our local office seems to want to be helpful, but your Call Center and their canned responses and then scheduling a technician is deplorable.

I know this complaint will fall on deaf ears as you are not concerned about Customer Service, only the ridiculously OUTRAGEOUS rates you charge. I hope the Better Business Bureau puts the hammer down on Altice and Suddenlink.

Altice shows nothing online to make a toll free number to change billing. Tried to make billing changes online dealing with automatic payment but the online system would not allow me to do so. This day and age I can't believe this company is so behind on online accessibility for your account setups.

My cable box voice keeps going in and out. I have altice 1. changed hdmi cable, checked it on other tvs and same issue. called numerous times on the phone each time waiting for 1hr plus. Had a supervisor come and troubleshoot box but he forgot to bring new box.

tried chat session and could not get on. I repetadly asked them to change the box and they wont. they do not allow you to go to the local site and exchange the box. it is very poor customer service.

It is impossible to get credit, even for having no service, even when cable was damaged and it was reported right away. It is impossible to get credit, even when all their officials confirmed that the credit fully approved for couple of month of not providing service but charging.

Today I told the tech that I will not waste anymore time on the phone to change my password and if not corrected at your end I will not pay the March bill. I know you can correct it at your end and if you can't close my account and credit what I have already have paid for February. John Coronna

I recently purchased a iPhone 11 from altice and I cant even find the word to express how displease I have been. I started having issues with dropped calls. My sister came from out of state. She tried to reach me by calling six times.

I can be on the phone talking inside or outside it makes no difference. I return to the store and said Probably just area nothing they can do for that. The call dropped four times when I was talking to the rep and thankfully he called me back every time.

We rest everything and still issue persist. He stated the store should be able to do something. He stated maybe it was some local outages on your end. It could also be the sim. Yet upon returning to the store nothing was done.

I have a business to run! Why should I be left paying for this over priced phone…

While the quality of Suddenlink equipment, broadcast and Internet are good in general, tech support for anything is horrible. Listed phone numbers are either not in service or no one answers. There are no email addresses listed and the FAQ’s don’t address the problems.

If you are the parent company of Suddenlink, whoever is in charge of customer service should have their employment terminated immediately. Was unable to login to my account t for months and unable to reach anyone. I finally called the line for new service and guess what? THAT call was answered!

I was fortunate enough to talk to a great person who helped me out. Now, I am unable to watch Suddenlink2GO on my phone. It directs me to Altice One app on the Apple App Store, that app says I ha e to use Suddenlink2GO but…

I go there with a wait of 45 minutes and was told by a lady that spent more time on her phone than at window that they do not do that and I would have to go to my old carrier to get it unlocked.

1. I have a new phone. Whoever had the number before me is part due with Altice but even though I have called several times to resolve it, they still are recording as both mine and the person who used to have the number!

2. When talking to customer service, I can hardly hear the associates, you can hear the conversations of all the reps beside them (it’s like they aren’t wearing headsets). Terrible.

3. Can’t reach anyone by phone in corporate offices. Rather than fix the crappy service, they ket the crap service continue and then don’t publish any corporate phone numbers. I even tried the one number that was published - their Investor Relations number and even the , the mailbox was full and disconnected the call. Are they going out of business? It would…

In these premises there is a counter with two employees. above the counter it is clearly marked "PAYMENT CENTER". Waited in line, with my wife to be served by either of two employees, one male the other female.

The female employee called out for anyone returning equipment to come forward and proceeded to deal with all customers returning equipment. The male employee, when finished with customer in front of my wife and myself informed us that he had to leave and would be back in a minute, disappearing into a nearby office.

After approximately a ten minute wait I knocked on the office door as I was disgusted with being ignored. At that point the female employee said that she…

If I could give Altice Mobil 0 stars I would. I’ve received my SIM cards 4 days ago and am trying to get my phones working wit them and the just refuse to connect. There is no customer service phone number so you have to text with them.

Of the 3 times I’ve waited forever to be connected one time I was. The agent was not at all helpful and she had to escalate my issue. The next day I received an email that confirmed I had received my SIM card.

Only that wasn’t the answer to my issue because I knew I already had the SIM cards. If you want a mobile company with non existent customer service than this is the one for you. I guess I’ll stay with Verizon, paying more is probably worth it.

Have had service issues since i switched from FIOS to Altice. Called the 1st week was told a service call was needed, but i was disconnected. When i called back i was told i should have called back. Since i was told before being disconnected a tech would sent i assumed your company would follow thru.

Called again Tues Aug 20th. I was told it was a line issue from the pole to my home. The tech came & saw that the installer left old Verizon wires in place. He used those to hook up the new Altice boxes in both rooms.

Also left the old face plate on the wall. or turn volume up & down. Long story short i feel i should be compensated for these issue's. Especially the way your tech did the initial install

Over the pass year we have a had an intermittent problem with TV, Network, and phone. We thought it was something in our house. " But shortly it would start again. " So I revived back to my days as a tech manager, and started to check thing out myself.

The company optimum has started billing me every other month so instead of getting a monthly bill I’m getting a bill for two months and they’re charging me a $10 late fee for their billing error. I have tried contacting customer service and speaking to his supervisor .

Without any satisfaction they refuse to credit me the late fees. When they send me a monthly bill I always paid on time they have not been sending them monthly so the bills aren’t coming on time so the bills aren’t getting paid on time this is not my fault this is their billing error I would like a credit
