    I am a small business owner, and as a small business owner I signed up with what was available in my area as far as **************** and telephone to support my business. I signed up with a CS with her promise of a set amount 127 per month to provide me a phone service and **************** for my business. Over the three years I have complained numerous times about inadequate service I was receiving from the Internet, the service is so slow. I had to take it off in my computer and use GCI hotspot, which provided me much faster service from my cell phone. He says never resolve the problem when I tried to get out of the service I thought I resign for two year they told me it was a three-year contract , and if I wanted to leave the contract, it would cost me a large sum of which I cannot afford at the time. Even though I complained that they were not provided me a service they told me what I would receive. I still had to continue the service even when I came to the end of the three years I tried to stop at the beginning of month. They told me I could not stop at the beginning of the month, and I also had to continue on an additional month so I had to pay two additional months after the end of the contract. I believe ACS should provide all small businesses out here at least *************, 50% reduction over the past year of what they paid for insufficient service.

    I gave over 30 days notice on 7/30/23 that my business was sold at this location and I was closing the account in my business name. The new owner hand delivered a assume & release that was required by ACS in order for the new business owner to take over the service provided by ACS at this business location. When I called to shutoff ************* on 8/31/23, final payment was taken and the account was paid in full. I am still receiving invoices from ACS and I have spoke with 7 different customer service agents over the phone and also 1 customer service agent via email communication and they cannot seem to figure the billing out. I have been told that I will receive a call back and no one has returned a phone call. I just keep getting automated phone calls and past due invoice statements.

    I have contacted this internet service provider multiple times to seek reasons why my internet is poor. I am barely able to use the internet for my phone. On both occurrences that I called to resolve my issue, I was assured that I would receive a call back to correct my service and get any new equipment upgrades needed. 3 months have passed and I have yet to receive a call back. I pay nearly $100 a month for their lack of service.

    Based. False advertising, I entered into an internet contract for unlimited internet at a lightening fast speed of 25. So false advertising and breach of contract as my speeds have not reached 5. I have been on the phone getting shuffled around - no one can talk , put a manager on the phone, be honest, Foch the problem, give me a time table on when or if fixed. I have lost over $1000 in wages and now have to seek service elsewhere. I used to be with acs this is an abomination to what their service once was. No the refuse to fix it refund my money have any decent answer. If you cant provide then dont lie. Now Im looking at four crimes not trying to hire lawyer but considering it as they wont even let you talk to someone but I wrote down names a time stamps . Those calls recorded. Any way false advertising breach of contract lost wages and possibly a lost job.

    I closed my account with ACS over two years ago and have an approximate credit of $267 on this account. I cannot access this account any longer and I have asked repeatedly for a refund of this credit. When I speak to representatives, I'm told that the refund will be processed and returned to me. Nothing has arrived yet. Each time I contact ACS it appears as though I am filing for this refund from the beginning.My account is associated with the home phone number **************.

    I called acs and canceled my internet in February. They told me they couldn't cancel in the same billing cycle and had to charge another month and then cancel. So already I was required to pay for over a month of additional service. Then, today, I received another bill for another months service due in August. I called them and they said it was my final billing cycle. That's six months. I just want them out of my life and I don't understand why it is so hard to cancel and six months later I am still being billed. I feel trapped by them. Are they allowed to take this long to get their end together? Six months!!!??When screen shotting the invoice, I realized they sent another bill last month I didn't see. So it takes them 5-6 months to figure out how to cancel a customer. **************** cannot explain why it's five months later they just say it's your final billing cycle.

    We've had constant internet issues for the past 6-7 months we had the router replaced and that fixed the issue for a week or two. However internet issues are becoming more and more frequent and we've been ignored.Customer support refuses to tell me what speeds we should be getting.Ignores the images I've sent them of their sever specifically failing a tracert command.Has refused to respond to an *** complaint to the point the *** responded saying as such. Constantly tells us to contact a tech that comes out runs test says everything is fine and then leaves.We are at the point were we are likely to switch to GCI or starlink simply because we can't load ****** at midnight because the service is down for days at a time. We simply want the internet to work that we are paying for.
