Intermittent Phone Service and Customer Service Response
Two weeks ago I spoke with Advanced Tech Support about a problem our area was having with continuous interrupted service from AT&T. We had a bad storm in our area in Florida 3 weeks ago and ever since, we either have "no service" or only one bar of service on our phones. Found out that our neighbor is having the same problem. The rep that I spoke with did some checking with the service coming to our area and indicated there was a problem. This last Friday I called again, since I hadn't heard from anyone and we still have the problem. Again, I was "finally" routed to Advanced Support (Tom in Texas), who checked on the ticket and said that techs had researched this and found no problems. I suggested that someone actually come to our rural neighborhood and check the problem onsite. He said they couldn't do that and after 30 minutes of him trying all kinds of solutions, he suggested that the cell tower signal must be blocked by trees and we should find the owner of the property where the tower is located and see about removing trees!!!! Are you kidding me???? He was very nice but said there was nothing that could be done on AT&T's end. Btw, there are no trees immediately surrounding our home. I couldn't even believe what I was hearing. Anyway, I will definitely be dropping AT&T, but wanted to get this information to your customer service dept, wherever that is.

I recently discontinued my Suddenlink service and switched to AT&T. I have bundled my account to include internet, tv ( Direct tv)and telephone. In the process I somehow bungled the combination so there were more than one account which did not include the phone package. Through the efforts of your representative, Shameka, the services were combined into one account number. My TV and internet are working fine, and I closed those with Suddenlink, but I was told to wait to close the phone package until the account combination was finalized. ( The whole process was complicated because it took place during the Memorial Day holiday). I spoke to Shameka on Tuesday and apparently, mistakenly, thought I could then close the phone account and my telephone number would be transferred to AT&T. Yesterday evening I discovered that my phone had been disconnected. I really need to keep my phone number since I have had it since 1966.
