Comment on AT&T U-Verse Universally Sucks! by Rwhite8449

Funny thing this company AT&T. They were a good company years and years ago. Now I experience the same issues I have been reading on here. Their service is second rate. I changed from Time Warner to AT&T because of poor product and WORSE customer service.
Received good product from UVERS for about a year at a cheaper price. Then fell for the upgrade to 6.0 at a reduced price, still not a bad deal. The issue is that they can not deliver 6.0 consistently to my home. And their service people are a joke. One was so drunk two days ago at my home in Chapel Hill, NC that he left the house saying he could not fix my issue of .56 speed. Then passed out in the street for 40 Minutes. My wife finally demanded I go roll him to the side of the street before he was hit by a car. You could not dream this stuff up. But it gets better, they charged me $100.00 for this. When I call to dispute it they sent another Service rep. He called at 4:45 PM and informed me that he was going to charge me another $100.00 for a service call. Then was rude when I informed him it was already covered under the call from yesterday. Finally he said some nasty things and informed me that he had tickets to the game and I would have to learn to live with my issue of slow network speed. His name was Richard Arnold out of the Chapel Hill, NC office. Man these two reps should get a ribbon for worst service reps in the state.
Looks like it’s back to Time Warner.

Just wanted to let the readers know that my uverse works just perfectly. 6 stbs and 12meg dsl (I know, not the fastest, but all I need for three or four devices) and never a glitch. The first couple weeks I had some problems, the techs were always on time, courteous and professional. I do wish they would use only real people for tech support call ins but it seems like almost all companies are getting away from that. Such a shame. I’m happy with the service and certainly recommend it to anyone.
