| 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.

| reply to erdavis 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. -- I didn't used to be this bad...I was worse. |
