I started with Verizon, then Frontier, now Ziply. I felt like a valued customer and had no internet issues through the Verizon/Frontier years but that ended with Ziply. I have had periods of slow or disrupted streaming since Ziply took over and have now been informed that my bill will increase $20.00 each month because the promotional discount I received expired. I wasn't made aware that I was on a promotional discount plan in the first place. Feels deceptive. I'm looking for a new internet provider!

This is the worst internet company I have experienced in the past 11 years. I was with CenturyLink for 10 months, and I had to stay at home and wait for their technicians to come and fix the broken line 9 times! Two of the CenturyLink technicians told me that their infrastructure is pretty old and bad and recommended me to find other internet providers and save myself!

I just had their internet set up this morning, was told it will be sorted by noon, still isn't working at 7 PM. (using my Comcast internet now, thank God it's working, I may have to crawl back and ask to stay with them after this 3rd world experience).Called support, after a veerryyslow conversation on his part, eventually he hung up after long silence - he may have fallen asleep. The funny thing is he specifically asked for a number in case we are disconnected later. I never got a call. I was polite and nice all along.A bit later, chatted for about an hour online - eventually was told they're working on it, 'eventually it will work, it's not a technical problem, they're just setting up the account, it's a matter of time'. WTF? They've had about a week since I made the order. Well, at least they're cheaper than the one that actually works.Very disappointed so far, sorry!
