First, no one and none of their materials informed us that their service shuts down after a certain amount of data transfer. Theyâ€™re best plan allows for only 450 mb so to play a couple of short videos, youâ€™ve maxed out your service for that 24 hour period. Talked with 4 people: the sales guy, whom I asked specifically asked twice to explain the differences between the 3 plans, the installer, Ron, and the tech person at 866.774.6580, and Tony, another tech support person. After installation all we get for support is a postcard with no phone number â€˜help yourself via the internet.â€™ We couldnâ€™t connect via Skype without static and echo and breaking up and shutting down. And generally, their highest speed service, the â€œPower 200â€ is slow Second, the ad I responded to said â€œFree Standard Installationâ€ and â€œno upfront equipment costs!â€ However, thereâ€™s a $511.22 charge on my credit card WHICH I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. My credit card company said, â€œyes, I see thereâ€™s a charge yet it didnâ€™t come through on your card.â€ Finally, Iâ€™ve talked with 7 different reps and all but one know very little, obviously follow sripts, and explain things in terms customers donâ€™t understand or care about. I could hardly get them to cancel the service, though their materials all say cancel free within 30 days. They kept telling me, â€œYouâ€™re under a purchase program.â€ That means Iâ€™m charged $199.99 for equipment purchase plus an activation fee of $199.99! No one had ever said this. The only way to get it refunded is I have to call the dealer who installed it, heâ€™s the one responsible, so I need to file a complaint, ask them to send them a fax or letter (to whom he didnâ€™t say), then I have to request a call review so they can listen to the call when I ordered my service. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor. Waited 18 mins. Spvr said I am on a purchase plan instead of a lease plan. I said no one ever said that. She said it might be the Recovery Act program where the govâ€™t only allows a minimum number of zip codes. (Huh?) She transferred me to â€œpoint of salesâ€ department to check what was disclosed to me in the first conversation. Needless to say, no resolution yet.
