Disconnect Fees and Problems (345 reviews)
Poor Customer Support and Service
“
1. Did not understand contract expiration date and Ambit defaulted me to a very expensive plan.
2. I use online banking, typically carry a credit on my account, bank changed software, Ambit account was not paid, customer service informed me 1 day to pay before disconnect. Would not work with me after being a several year customer. ”

Wish I could give them zero stars
“ I am just an average customer better off than some I would suppose but nothing to brag about. Ambit was ok at first but their price gets higher and higher. I am just finishing my contract and am running like the wind. (inside joke since I weight 350 and my idea of running is contrary to most)I have a 2 bedroom apt and my bills are like 200 bucks a month. I call to inquire and they change plans and lock me into another year. I had to dig deep into my bill and found that my rate was totally different than what I was told. So I had needed for the first time in my time with them a payment arrangement. Well it was only 2 months total and the bill was 500 bucks. I was like how can my bill be that much. They didn't know just wanted money. So ok what can you help me with. Well for starters they say you need to pay half.... I was like wth? Then finish it off in too months the past due amount. So since my past due was 500 I paid 250 down. Then my regular payments of 200 a month. So that's 450 the first month. Then 125 plus my regular bill that's 375 for the next 2 months? Yeah thanks a lot of nothing AMBIT. I have COPD and sleep with a ventilator. I told them please don't turn off my electricity I need my machine to breath when I nap or lie down. They wanted a doctors form so I get it take it my dr then fax it back to them. OH WOW... they never receive it. I sent them via email... (which like others say in their posts... it gets bounced backed to me) and I have also faxed it. Tried it for 2 months straight and nothing changed. I was not asking for a handout. I work hard.... wanted to pay what's due and not take advantage of the system. They won't help you. 10 bucks for sending you a disconnect notice.... 40 bucks if you pay the bill when they have already sent a notice out but before its turned out..... yes explain that to me. 2.50 for a debit card payment... everything everyone is saying is true. Run from them. Don't ever use them..... if you do you have been warned ”

PAYMENT DUE DATES CHANGE EACH MONTH / CUSTOMER SERVICE A JOKE
“ Frontier is the first billing institution I know that refuses to give clients a fixed due date. Payment dates change from month to month. I can't help but feel that this is done intentionally to confuse clients so they can charge the $25 disconnection fee. Goodness, the disconnection letter goes out on the due date. And don't even bother calling customer service, you are on hold for 30 to 45 minutes, and when you finally get an agent, they put you on hold to review your account and you get disconnected. Can't wait for the year to be over so I can switch service.I am telling everybody I know to stay away from Frontier Utilities ”
