It is very alarming not to be able to view the details of a monthly bill.

After 5 hours of my time and 6 or 7 times talking with a computer who was no help at all!!!! I finally got a person. The first person I got was the wrong department and transferred me to another computer. Then after multiple more calls because the computer wanted me to plug my items back in, I never even told her yet what I was calling for, I finally was able to get a person, She was pleasant enough not exceptional considering the wait, which by the way she was able to cancel the service in my old address, earlier an hour chat got me set up at my new address. But was unable to answer all my questions and I was on hold a few times and then oh ya we got disconnected. This day has made me wonder if I have made the right decision to use you again. If I can’t get someone to help me with a specific issue then it’s not worth all!!! The money it cost for your horrible! Customer service. Have never really had issues with the actual cable or internet

We use PogoZone at my work and the connection is incredibly fast and reliable. We're a web development firm, and so there are often large files getting uploaded/downloaded. Even still, we've never experienced a slowdown in our connectivity. What makes it even better is PogoZone's a local Bellingham business. It's great to know that we're supporting local.

BEWARE**** warn your parents !!! If your parent dies and you are in charge of their estate they want your lawyer to contact them and show that you are the executor of their estate before FRONTIER will quit billing your loved one. THEY call it security. They will also ask YOU to be the person who is RESPONSIBLE for the bill!!! Not ok. They will ask you to take responsibility for the bill and then TELL you that you have no right with out a will to stop an account!! This company will milk money and not help you in a time of crisis. So sad no thank you! I will not use this company in the future. Personally I would rather just use a cell phone company.
