Suddenlink is telling customers that the reason for the bad service we are getting has to do with a Part that they are trying to replace on the main trunk line. That ATT is the only maker of the part, and that ATT will not sell them the part.
So they claim that is the issue, never mind that they have oversold thier band width by 25% and that is the real issue.
everyone needs to use a verizon air card badwith is better than sattlite and you pay less ....

ummmmm- suddenlink is about to start billing by the amount of bandwidth you use, and this will switch you muppets over to internet2.

also- don't use their phone service, just get SKYPE because it's only a few dollars a month- the suddenlink voip is a rip off, much like a tax collector claiming your tax dollars are used for schools, or an oil company executive talking about peak oil.

I'm with Suddenlink, and I can assure you we are not lying to anyone. We have taken steps recently to temporarily alleviate bandwidth issues, helping many customers in the process, and we are working on longer-term solution. Any customer experiencing issues can email me at pete-DOT-abel-at-SUDDENLINK-DO T-com, and I will escalate your issues to the senior managers in your area.

You are a brave soul for trying to help on these boards. I, for one, thank you for trying to help in any way that you can. I wonder how many people are blaming Suddenlink for outdated systems and faulty drivers in thier computers? I will submit suddenlink ain't my favorite company to do business with, But they have always at least met me halfway in my dealings with them. Sucks about waiting for fiber lines in Blue Lake and such. I know there are hassles that are way out of the control of suddenlink to get out there. Was a tiny part of the bids for the contracts to fiber into eureka and out there a long ago. So much red tape and bureaucrat red tape to get through. At&T can be a bear to work with. Good luck from at least a understanding customer.

Please don't get me started with Suddenlink.
It is a huge mess.
I have internet service less than I have it, what they say on the phone never matches the billing statements they send.
I have had my service turned off with no disconnect notice and actual credit sitting on my account.
Then they give you the pitch wanting you to turn your phone service over to them. Never, in a million years would I do that.
They have charged me for things they can't explain and I'm over it.
They constantly tell me there are no outages in my area, yet I have no service. They are unwilling to credit for time you are unable to utilize services paid for.
I frankly think they should spend a little less money bombarding us with their advertising and a whole lot more making sure that they have their "you-know-what" together.
At the first available opportunity, I'm out.
Then, they will raise prices because people are ditching them left and right.
