Faulty equipment charges

We have had u-verse for about 8 months now and the phone portion quit working. A serviceman came out and determined he had to replace their modem. We got a bill today for $55 for his time. This is the first time a cable company charged me to replace their faulty equipment. Probably somewhere in my contract it says this. Is this other peoples experience? If it happens again in such a short period of time I will switch back to wow or comcast as this could get expensive.

That seems very odd. The link to the AT&T Terms of Service Agreement can be found at the link below. It is my understanding that billing for a service trip will only occur if the customer was at fault. In your case, it appears to have been faulty equipment; therefore, no charge to the customer.

I would suggest that you call customer service, explain the situation and request that the charge be removed from your account.

Look at the top of the forum on how to contact tier2 agents. For this I would post in the ATT Direct thread and explain exactly what happened. Someone should be able to help you.

I had the same issue about a month ago - the phone quit working.

When I was first reporting the issue the Tier 2 guy had me plug in a different phone to see if that was the problem and also had me re-boot the RG - neither of which fixed the issue.

A tech came out and checked the wiring, did some tests and then ended up replacing the RG at no charge to me.

I think that if they charged you for the replacement is was a mistake.
