ingress is the number one killer for VOIP and internet reliability. For example, you can hear the person on the line, but they can’t hear you… that is really common if you have ingress on your line. something is back feeding from the home, it can be a bad tv back feeding, bad splitter, radioshack cabling and splitters, loose/ improper fittings, cable that has water damage, dog chews and/or a bad drop. Its kinda funny because i hear when speaking with customers, that they have nothing but trouble with Qwest, or Dish, or Direct or ADT or with Comcast, and its like well lets just take a look and see what we find. Basically you need a competent person to troubleshoot. i always leave my number with the customer because i feel how everything works at my house, it should also work the same at yours. Some tickets/troublecalls take awhile especially if i am the third tech there in 2 months, but some houses do need the special attention to detail. i am always shocked to read some of these comments people leave., sometimes when you arrive at a person’s house, they tell you a horror story of their experience with my company, and i take it personally, and i am like, after i leave if you have any more troubles just call me.

Michelle—don’t go buy new phones. One tech unplugged our phones and left us with a Comcast portable phone…thinking it was a phone issue…NOT. Again, within an hour we had no phone and no internet.

We bundled our cable, internet and phone last Aug. What a mistake. We’ve had nothing but problems…beginning within 1 hour of installation (had no phone and internet). The past two months have been HELL. Phone calls now drop almost with every call, internet access often drops after 1-2 minutes…my favorite (ha) issue is when I pick-up the handset to call out… and I GET A BUSY TONE! We’ve had techs out almost every 10days since April. They can’t fix it! (they even had us take out a chunk of drywall in our garage to get to a “splitter” that had already been check and replaced last summer… he was sure that was the problem …NOT! Now we’re left with a hole in the wall.) We’re going back to our local phone carrier next week!
Problem is worse early in the morning in after 5 pm. Have to come home at lunch and pay the bills as I can usually get 30 min of internet time in the middle of the day.

I have had nothing but PROBLEMS with Comcast digital voice. Constant dropped calls, I can hear the caller but they can’t hear me, no dial tone. The response from Comcast has been too ridiculous and maddening to discuss. Finally I was told that their modems are “incompatible” with both Uniden and GE phones. I have no idea if this is true. If anyone reading this is a Comcast employee and has any insight into the problem, feel free to respond. In the last of about 25 various conversations with Comcast supervisors, I was told that they were sorry I was not informed, but that I needed to go out and buy one of the following phones: Sony, Panasonic, and V-Tech. I refuse to spend more money on another new phone- which will likely result in them saying, “Oh, we also forgot to tell you that Sony, Panasonic and V-Tech are also incompatible with our modem…

I opened a credit card acct with 5/3nat zero interest for 1 year. I never received a bill for the first payment. By chance I called to ask about this and found out the next day was the due date! I are very careful with my mail and my bills and know that they did not send me a bill. I will be very carefull with this account and will close it as soon as I am able! Also I can’t believe that they do not accept on line payments seems that they want you to be late!

Fifth Third Bank keeps calling and calling for Janet L. Foster who either had our phone number before or gave a false phone number. It’s always a machine asking us to enter her pin number and we can’t get a real person on the phone. We have called headquarters many times and they just play dumb. We are now in the process of filing a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General to get them to stop. We have never been inside a Fifth Third building let alone done business with them.

I have also had HORRIBLE experiences with 5th TURD bank. I only joined this bank because the company I paid my rent through only excepted payments at this bank. I can recall a time they called me on my cell to tell me that they were putting a hold on my account because I had items posted to come through and I did not have enough funds to cover them. However, I had direct deposit and my check was going to be deposited the following day, so what was the problem. I have also gone in and had some funds refunded back into my account because of their mistakes. I have been dealing with 5th TURD for 8 long years and I am also closing my account on Monday, 6/29/09. I travel out of town a lot, down south, and their are no 5th TURD banks down that way so their for I am left having to travel with a lump sum of money or hit with an ATM fee for retrieving MY money out of the bank. Also, I ordered a bank card from them over the phone and after 7 business days I went inside the bank for the teller to tell me that it has been sent out to give it another day or so. So, I waited another 5 business and returned to the bank for another teller to tell me that the card had been canceled, would you like for me to reorder it. I was like what the hell. So, I had to wait another 7 days on a card that I should of gotten weeks ago. I could go on and on but I’ll let others share their thoughts of 5th TURD. TWO THUMBS DOWN TO 5TH THURD
