  We have reviewed the customer’s case and have reached him in an attempt to address his concerns.
  In an effort to address your concerns, we have gone through your account records and based on our findings, upon signing up, you were made aware that your services are under a 3 year contract which you agreed to renew in April this year in exchange for getting 6 months of free services.
  We have gone through his account records and based on our findings, upon signing up, the customer was made aware that the services are under a 3 year contract which he agreed to renew in April this year in exchange for getting 6 months of free services.
  Furthermore, he received the Welcome letter which discloses the Terms of his contract.
  In regards to the poor quality of his services, we have gone through the account records and the only day he reported having issues with our services was upon contract renewal. No other reports have been made since he signed up.
  Further to our Terms of Service (section 2.09 literal (c)), The Subscriber acknowledges that Comwave Services are provided on a best-effort basis and lack of service or poor quality is not grounds for contract termination. Subscriber must allow Comwave reasonable time to diagnose and correct any problems that have been reported and documented by the Subscriber to Comwave. As such, the Early Cancellation Fees have been applied in accordance with the contract Terms.
  I noticed that the equipment was not returned within 30-days even though a return label was generated and sent to his email address as a courtesy. As such, a non-return fee of $95.00 plus tax per device may apply.
  In an effort to settle this matter and as a gesture of goodwill, we will allow 2 more weeks from today for the equipment return and if returned within this period, we will waive the non-return unit fees of $322.02 and the applicable Restocking Fees of $84.75 taxes included.
  If not returned within 2 weeks, the non-return fees will be applied in accordance with our Terms of Service.

  Been a loyal customer for 10 years and when my internet went out, they finally sent me a new modem. The set up of the new modem went fine, however , the tech was unable to hook me up to internet. The tech put in the request to have the modem turned on at their end, but Comwave refused saying there was another ticket outstanding. After bringing the internet issues to their attention (******) and while waiting for that to be resolved, I spoke with a Customer Service rep to help with a move for September 1st. Apparently now I am not allowed to have internet until September 1st . Non of this makes sense. Why can they not hook me up to internet where I am living now, where i have had internet for 10 years? Why do I have to wait a month. Terrible service. Would never recommend them to anyone. I wish I could leave but I am locked into a contract for 3 years which is auto renew. The amount of stress and anxiety they have put me through ,as I need internet for work, is horrible. The are punishing me for being a loyal customer.

  We have emailed the customer regarding her feedback.
  She had technical issues with the internet service last month. Thus, we took the liberty to go over her account in an effort to address this matter.
  Based on our records, she reported having no internet service on August 1, 2023 and the issue was finally resolved by our technical support team on August 7, 2023.
  In light of the above, we would like to express our sincere apologies for the inconveniences caused.
  In an effort to address the customer's satisfaction, we have applied a downtime credit for $31.82 and as a token of our appreciation, we have adjusted her monthly service fee to $105.00 taxes included.
  Should the customer need any further assistance, feel free to contact us at ###-###-####

  * ***** they **** about the speed of internet they could provide our business and phone service was horrible then they tried to renew our contract for 3 more years without telling us. We cancelled the service they charged us $1900 for the phones until we returned the equipment. We returned the equipment within 1 week with verified signature upon receipt and still one month later have not received our refund of the $1900. ** *** *** **** *********

  We have reviewed the customer's account and the customer cancelled their contract claiming they experienced too many tech issues. In 2023 there was only 1 tech support ticket opened. I understand they run a hospice and their phone and internet services are critical. If the customer had experienced on-going tech issues, they didn't call us to report it. Also, all Comwave Business contracts renew for the same initial term, which is outlined in the signed contract. Comwave followed all procedures and executed the terms of the contract by charging early cancellation fees. 
  The customer successfully ported out in June. The cancellation fee was paid, which reconciled the account. The account was cancelled June 8th. Comwave followed all protocols and executed the terms on the signed contract. Comwave was a little late in providing the refund, however it was returned on July 12th; therefore, no follow up is required.

  For the most part their response is accurate however 1 ticket was opened but upwards of 30 calls were placed to resolve issues and over 200 minutes on the phone with techs that could not resolve our issues which led us to cancel. You will also note they did not respond to the comment about the speed of the internet that was promised and we received on average 5 meg download and with bell we now have 50. Our phone services were down at least once per month.

  We have reviewed the customer’s case and have made unsuccessful attempts to discuss this matter over the phone.
  Based on our records, the last technical report was made on August 3rd and the issue was finally resolved on Aug 11, 2023. After this, we do not have any other reports; however, we are ready to provide Technical Support if required.
  In regards to the contract and price, we have confirmed that the customer agreed to renew his 3-year Term in exchange for getting 6 months of free service back in June 2022. However, as per our records, he received a total of 9 months for free from June 2022 to February 2023.
  In light of this, his contract will expire December 2025.
  It is worth mentioning that he spoke to one of our supervisors back on April 21, 2023 who informed you that his monthly service fee should be $134.37 for the next 12 months and he agreed.
  In an effort to settle this matter, we have now reduced his monthly fee to $102.06. Bearing in mind that in accordance with our Terms of Service 3.03 Rate Changes: Comwave reserves the unilateral right to change, modify, increase, decrease, or add surcharges, connection fees as may be required from time to time.

  Signed up for phone service and for six years, have had nothing but problems and more, and more fees.
  When the first 3-year contract run out, they auto-renewed without my knowledge or notifying me. Each month my bill has more and more various fees that aren't well explained.
  Each time I have had to call customer service, I either receive no resolution, and in one case for some unexplained reason, the rep turned off our ability to receive any inbound calls, which persisted for two days before I realized they had done something.
  Now I am cancelling my service at the end of the second contract, and they are attempting to charge me $50 to port my number to another provider and a $25 restocking fee for the Grandstream box which I also have to pay postage for to send back.
  I contacted the phone provider I am transferring to and they were bewildered that Comwave charged a port fee, as I asked about whether or not they were going to obstruct my number transfer.

  We have reviewed the customer's case and went over his account to provide a resolution.
  Based on our records, the customer was assisted by one of our CROs in May and per their settlement, the port out fee and the restocking fee were waived.
  Customer confirmed that this was satisfactory to him.

  We have used comwave for, I would like to say, over ten years for telephone and cable. We would like to add internet to this but it is not available in the Maritimes. Service has always been fine and every few years we get a random six months of no charge. No company is perfect but I find Comwave accessible and helpful. And it’s nice to get those bonus six months every now and again.

  I recently cancelled my home phone service and returned the device at my expense. When I had a conversation with an agent, the guy didn't mention about 're-stocking' fee. So I called the comwave for a clarification. The guy on the line told me that the agent I talked to previously told me about it. It's very deceiving tactic to blame a client. I clearly remember I didn't hear about this at all. Besides, why do I have to pay for a 're-stocking' fee when I already spend my money for shipping the device back to the headquarter. They are restocking the device at my expenses. This is ridiculous.

  We have reviewed the customer's case that was just sent to us and would like to address it as follows:
  It is our understanding that his complaint is regarding the Restocking Fee applied to his account upon return of the Home Phone Adapter; as such, we have gone through the account records and have listened to the conversation the customer had with one of our Customer Service Representatives on January 5th, upon cancellation request of his Home Phone plan.
  Based on our findings, the representative advised that he will be charged a $25.00 restocking fee after the equipment return and the customer agreed. Please note that this was applied in accordance with our Terms of Service 3.06.
  In light of this, the fee is valid; nevertheless, as a goodwill gesture, we have applied the 50% discount to it ($14.12). This amount will be applied as a credit towards his account which will be deducted from his next invoice.
  Should the customer have further queries, he may feel free to let us know.

  Truly love he worst service I have ever dealt with. For one the internet would cut out constantly for days even weeks on end, and they not once offered some kind of reimbursement for lack of service. The internet was slower than molasses, constantly lagging. They ding you for money in more ways then once. They charge you to have the modems shipped to you, they charge you to send them back, they charge you for them putting them back on the shelves, and they have bill you for deposits on them. All in the meantime they do offer *** shipping labels to atleast have the modems returned which is never told to you unless you complain about the costs. When you cancel and are owed your deposits back, they take months to return, but expect their money and modems right away. Anytime you talk to customer service, they are rude, change the subject or just plain out try to beat around the bush.

  We have reviewed the customer's case that was sent to us and have taken the liberty to investigate the customer's account.
  Based on our records, the customer spoke to one of our Supervisors in January 2023, who explained that all fees billed after cancellation are legitimate in accordance with our Terms of Service. Also, a return label was sent to the customer as a goodwill gesture.
  We have now contacted the customer to confirm the payment method since there was a pending refund on the account for $55.25 representing the remainder of her Security Deposit.
  Customer confirmed the payment method and the refund has been issued on our end.?
