  Thank you for referring the complaint of ***** ****** to our office for review.  We appreciate ********* bringing this matter to our attention.
  
  The complaint states:
  Ms. ****** states she pays 2 separate Ziply Fiber accounts, 1 with Direct Express and the other with a **** debit card, using bill matrix.
  Ms. ****** states half the time the phones do not work for a week at a time, further stating she receives no compensation.
  Ziply Fiber has investigated the above statements and offers the following response:
  Ziply Fiber advises when using bill matrix to call in and make a one-time payment, the consumer inputs the account number, amount to pay and the payment method. Once the payment has been made a confirmation number is provided. Prior to hanging up by pressing option 2 it allows an additional payment to be made, and the consumer must again go through the prompts which include the account number in which the payment should be applied too.
  Ziply Fiber has been in contact with Ms. ****** in February and provided a billing and payment history,
  Ziply Fiber advises on the account ending in 2822 in the last year there has been a total of 1 reported trouble back on 08/05/25. On the account ending in 4352 there has been 1 report in the last year which was reported on 02/20/25.  Time out of service credit was provided for this, credit reflected on the 03/04/25.
  Ziply Fiber recommends reporting trouble as it occurs this allows us the opportunity to complete any necessary repairs.

  I contacted Ziply close to the beginning of January 2025. I tried to get service but was told I already had service but that wasn't true. Ziply was using my address for the neighbor and said they would straighten it out. They finally came out on the 18th to install, got everything done but couldn't get the modem to connect and was told because my address has already been installed but the technician stretched new fiber optics because my house has never had it. I've lived here for over 13 years. While the technician was here on the 18th my dog was locked in my bedroom the technician was yelling at my dog to shut up from outside, very unprofessional. I am disabled and need my **************** and I have been without since the 26th of January. This needs to be resolved! The month is up and no service still.

  The fiber company came through to put in the cable and ruined my speckled granite flower bed. They didn't put down any plastic and just threw dirt and rocks into my flower bed. I want them to come back and pull out all the dirt and rocks and replace the granite gravel. They did the same thing on the other side of my driveway. Threw dirt and rocks on my white gravel and yard art. They don't pick up the rocks that they get from the trenches. They just leave them. Come back and pick this stuff up and I want my yard the way it was when you started.

  In June 2024, my wife answered the door for a Ziply Fiber salesperson. The individual stated that Ziply was offering free installation with a trial evaluation period with lower pricing than ******* or Ver with no limits on data usage and that they would pay for any disconnect fees from *******. This was all communicated verbally with no paperwork. We did not sign anything or receive any documentation. The only contact that we had with Ziply was with the salesperson. The installation was performed well by the technician on Jun 24, 2024. I work from home and after a couple of weeks experienced long data drops that made ********** Teams" voice and screen sessions impossible. I moved my work Ethernet connection back to the ******* modem/router and started leaving calls with the salesperson which were never returned. After several weeks we received a bill of $173.00 in the mail and I immediately called the company with the provided number. I asked to speak with a manager on two different occasions explaining what had happened and requesting that my service be disabled. On both occasions, the Ziply Fiber manager said that the salesperson was "in error" and that the special sales promotion was no longer valid, on the last call I was less than pleasant during the call. After several weeks, we received another bill this time for $249.96. There was no itemized breakdown and no explanation for the additional increase. Enclosed along with this bill was a letter from a debt collector. Upon calling the debt collector, they stated that Ziply was not interested in explaining or discussing anything and just wanted to be paid $249.96. I would like to be refunded the $249.00 I paid to the collection agency on Feb 1, 2024, and Ziply Fiber management to improve their door sales processes to ensure clear customer engagement with documentation (billing start dates, plan prices, contact numbers, term costs) and/or call from corporate to ensure information is well understood by customers.

  Thank you for referring the complaint of ****** ******** to our office for review.  We appreciate *** ******** bringing this matter to our attention.
  
  The complaint states:
  *** ******** states a Door-to-Door representative came to their door offering a trial of Ziply Fibers internet service with no disconnection fees and that any disconnection fees with the current provider would be paid.
  *** ******** states the install was completed on June 24, 2024.   After a couple weeks he started experiencing long drops that made ********* Teams impossible, therefore he moved his work Ethernet connection back to the others provider's modem.
  *** ******** states he left multiple calls for the salesperson. that were never returned and would like management to improve their door sales processes to ensure clear customer engagement with documentation.
  *** ******** then contacted Ziply Fiber requesting the service be disabled.
  *** ******** states he received a collection letter from a debt collector and paid it to avoid any further action.  He would like to be reimbursed for the payment made.
  
  
  Ziply Fiber has investigated the above statements and offers the following response:
  Ziply Fiber did provide a free month of the internet service on the June 23, 2024 bill statement.
  Ziply Fiber records do show the service was installed June 21, 2024.  There are no records of trouble ticket placed which would have allowed us the opportunity to complete any necessary repairs.
  Ziply Fiber will pass on the feedback and any coaching opportunities to management regarding *** ******** experienced with the salesperson.
  Ziply Fibers records do show the account was disconnected on October 9, 2024.
  Ziply Fiber advises the account was set up with paperless bills, and Ms. ******** email address which is where the bill notifications were sent.  Reminder notices of the past due account (which would have no itemized information on it) were mailed out September 23, 2024 with a payment due date of October 8, 2024 and on October 24, 2024 with a due date of November 8, 2024.  Ziply Fiber records show the account was disconnected on October 9, 2024 at the customers request.  The charges are valid therefore there will be no reimbursement.
  
  
  We trust this information will assist in closing this complaint.  We apologize for any inconvenience that *** and Mrs. ******** has experienced as a result of the above matter.

  I am rejecting this response because you have not provided any information that would lead me to close the complaint. The primary reason for filing a complaint with the BBB is Ziply's lack of documentation and poor communication following the installation of the fiber equipment. Proper documentation is crucial for effective customer service, as it ensures transparency and trust between the company and its customers. The only communication between us and Ziply's main office was via your billing and collections processes. As stated, we were unable to contact Ziply Fiber through the salesperson, and we never received any documentation other than the first and second bills, and the letter from the collections agency. My wife did not receive any emails, and we did not receive any phone calls from Ziply's main office. Please access your email server and forward any emails that you sent to my wife. These emails should include the date, time, and any information provided through your "paperless" process.

  I am a current Ziply Fiber customer. On December 30, 2024 a ********************** team was digging trenches near my house for future installtion of high speed fiber internet lines. That day, the digging crew accidently damaged my ******* cable TV line, completely knocking out my cable TV. The ******* repairman came out a few days later and determined that I will need to have the old damaged line replaced with a brand new line. This will require digging in my yard as well as impacting my neighbor because the ******* cable box is on the opposite side of his driveway from my house. The cable will have to be routed under his driveway and then towards my house. This is a major inconvenience to both my neighbor and myself. Furthermore, there may be permits required to do this work. Currently I am into week 4 without any cable TV and no scheduled date to have the new cable TV line installed. I have contacted Ziply Fiber about this issue and they said they would forward this to the engineering manager for "feedback". I have had heard nothing from Ziply Fiber since then.I need Ziply Fiber to take ownership of this problem. Last week, the city where I live (Sammamish, **) suspended the permit for Ziply Fiber to continue this work due to MANY complaints about Ziply Fiber's performance on this project. That's how bad this is. I shouldn't have to coordianate with another company to get their equipment fixed because Ziply Fiber does nothing to own up to their negligent actions. As a paying customer of **********************, I deserve better.

  I am rejecting this response because:  Ziply Fiber's response is completely FALSE.

  First, on February 11, 2025 both my wife and I were home the entire day.  No one from Ziply Fiber knocked on our door, nor rang the doorbell.  I did see several Ziply Fiber employees walk by and look at our yard, but they continued down the street without stopping.

  Second, my voicemail box on my phone is not full.  I received a phone call from ************ ("Ziply Fiber") on February 7, 2025 at 3:29 PM.  I missed the call but listened to the voicemail.  The person who left the message offered to call Xfinity to get things moving, but I have already done that.

  In December they failed to send a bill, then sent a delinquent notice threatening disconnection and charged a late fee. I called and complained and they said they were aware of an issue with bills being mailed and waived the late fee. In January they also failed to send a bill. I called and the answering recording said they were aware of an issue with bills not being mailed. Then I received a notice in the mail threatening disconnection and charging a late fee.If they were aware of an issue with bills being mailed, then why do they persist with late fees and disconnect notices? If they are unable to mail bills, then why are they able to mail disconnect notices? How much revenue did they gain by not sending bills then charging late fees? The fact that this is now ongoing leads me to believe it is deliberate.

  Thank you for referring the complaint of ******* ******* to our office for review.  We appreciate ********** bringing this matter to our attention.
  
  The complaint states:
  Mr. ******* states he did not receive his December statement but did receive a delinquent notice and a late charge. When Mr. ******* contacted Ziply Fiber, he was advised they are aware of an issue with the statement and the late fee will be credited.
  Mr. ******* states he did not receive a January statement, when calling in the answering recording advised Ziply Fiber is aware of an issue with bills not being mailed. Then received a notice of the account past due, plus a late fee.
  
  Ziply Fiber has investigated the above statements and offers the following response:
  Ziply Fiber advises an issue was identified where some customers did not receive their November, December or January statements on time. This caused the statements to be mailed later than normal.  The late charges that were on the December and January statements were credited, one on 12/17/24 and the other on 12/26/24. Reminder Notices were also mailed out advising of the prior charges.
  The January statement should arrive however it will arrive later than normal, the late fee that appears on the January statement has already been credited on 12/26/24.  The current balance owing is $167.68.
  
  We trust this information will assist in closing this complaint.  We apologize for any inconvenience that ******* ******* has experienced as a result of the above matter.
  
  Sincerely,
  Ziply Fiber Executive Customer Relations

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  The fraudulent late fees have not all been credited.  The amount they claim I owe is incorrect.  After not receiving the January bill I went ahead and paid the same amount we pay every month.  This payment should bring our balance to zero.

   I have banking records that show payment history and only being late when not receiving a bill.  I hope that Ziply can get their billing figured out and have these errors adjusted by the February or March bills.  

   Until then I will continue paying the same amount each month.  Since our rates have more than doubled in the past few years I am not accepting any more price increases

  Sincerely,
  
  ******* *******

  Mr. ******* states the amount Ziply Fiber claims he owes is incorrect.  Further stating he is not accepting any more price increases since the rates have more than doubled in the past few years.
  Mr. ******* states after not receiving his January bill and only paid late when did not receive the statement.  Further stating he paid the same amount that he pays every month
  
  Ziply Fiber has investigated the above statements and offers the following response:
  Ziply Fiber states the late fees were on the late fees were on the December 10, 2024 and the January 10, 2025 statement for $12.00 each.  Ziply Fiber has already placed a credit on the account for $24.00 ($12.00 x 2) which appears on the January 10, 2025 statement on page 1.
  Ziply Fiber advises consumers who opt out of paperless billing and/or autopay are subject to the monthly fees. Ziply Fiber advises these fees are increasing as of February 1, 2025. These fees reflect how our costs to process a manual payment and provide a paper bill have increased (print, paper, postage and labor).  We would rather save our customers time and money when they use autopay and paperless billing. Ziply Fibers online billing portal is ENTRUST Verified and consumers personal information including banking information is encrypted for security.  As far as receiving paperless statements this provides statements right at your fingertips in MyAccount also more secure with no lost or stolen mail with sensitive or payment information.  Ziply Fiber advises due to a billing error the November statement was mailed out late, therefore any late fees are credited.
  Ziply Fiber advises rate increases will happen from time to time as cost to maintain the facilities increases.  The recent increase on November 15, 2024 was advised on the October 2024 and November 2024 statements under customer important information.  These increases were $3.00 for the residential line, $3.00 for the Long Distance and $5.00 for the internet.  Services are month to month therefor subject to increases. The prior increase on Mr. ******** account was on the December 10, 2023 where the products had increased $9.00. December 10, 2024 had a prior balance and current charges have a due date of January 03. 2025.

  Damaged grass, lumpy ground, cut water line, and plastic pipes sticking up out of grass. Lost water service until repaired. These people made a mess of my lawn and the pipes will get chewed up by my lawn mower.

  I am rejecting this response because:

     While Ziply's contractor did cut down the pipe that was sticking out of the ground, the ground where the grass was is still lumpy and the lawn is still degraded.  Ziply's contractor says they will address this in about two weeks.  We'll see.

  I own a duplex that I live in one unit and rent out the other unit. I woke up on the morning of August 26th 2024 to find someone installing Ziply Fiber to the other side of our duplex without our permission. The install was already completed by the time I noticed they were there so I couldn't have them stop. Part of the installation included drilling holes into our vinyl siding. I called Ziply 3 times to have them remove the line and repair the holes in our siding, but all 3 times they said they would have one of their contractors contact me to schedule a time to come remove the line, and I haven't had anyone contact me. Each time I call in, I let them know that no one has reached out and they say they will put in another order to have someone contact me, and then I never get contacted.

  I am rejecting this response because: The instillation occurred without my permission, and I'm the homeowner. Ziply should not have accepted the resident's authorization to work on the property because he is not the homeowner. I have been reaching out, asking Ziply to come remove the line multiple times, and I haven't been able to get anyone to come remove the line.
