The internet service with Direcpath is contracted with the community I reside in. They are the only service available for cable internet and they are not providing the service that they are advertising or promising. I have been having issues with the service since I got it as a requirement for my work from home job and its been horrible. They have latency and ping issues. I have been calling and reporting the problems with their service since January with no resolution or care on their part. It has become so bad that I have had to continuously call out from work because the connection is not stable/keeps dropping/shutting of and restarting on its own. I was initially able to get a technician out in January that was working with me to resolve the issue and told me that all they need to do is change out the nodes and add some more things throughout the community to be able to keep the connection steady. Since then, the technician no longer comes to the community or responds to messages, customer service will only tell me that the problem will be fixed soon with no date. They refuse to schedule any appointment for a technician to come to my home. They promise call backs and say the issue has been escalated but I do not get a call back and have to keep calling. Absolutely nothing is being done and if I have to keep missing work, I will lose my job. This is affecting my livelihood and its absolutely disgusting how little they care about their customers. Cant speak to a supervisor. Cant get a scheduled time for communications or a resolution. Case #s lead to nothing. Just a note on my account. This is the worst service Ive ever had and I cant even change to a different company.

I am rejecting this response because:I have been trying since January to rectify this issue through normal communications with customer support. Although I do appreciate the initial response and feel like its a step in the right direction, Ill agree to end this dialogue with Direcpath when a resolution for the network latency has been implemented and the people that live in this community, including myself, can enjoy the type of latency and speeds that other ISP's offer in other areas where competition between ISP's exists. 2 or 3 more months to resolve the issue would result in job loss for me and I dont feel that should be happening.

Complaint: 19895506

I am rejecting this response because: although I am glad to finally be getting some type of time frame, I am still currently experiencing issues that are causing me to miss work again and I am not very confident in the work being done. I had already been promised and assured that everything would be fixed last Thursday and its been worse this week than before so I will be satisfied once all of this has been resolved. We seem to be moving in the right direction but as I stated before, I can no longer be quelled with promises.

We have this service ** it comes with the apartment complex. Every other month theres an outage. I work remotely and this is affecting my job. If they cant accommodate the size of the apartment complex, they need to communicate that with the property manager so that another company that can accommodate the property can be used. The service went out around 6pm on Thursday 2/23. It is now 12:25 pm on 2/24 and there is still no service.

Apartment complex has internet service through Direcpath exclusively. Direcpath network is extremely overwhelmed. Network has terrible latency causing ping spikes. its Sunday right now at 9:30 a.m., and the latency is already terrible due to the busy network. its like this almost always now. We have ping Spikes that range from 150!ms to **** ms. ******* knows that their network needs additional equipment added to their network to efficiently route traffic. To date company has refused to do so to the end users detriment. ******* is taking advantage of being the sole provider, knowing that regardless of how poor the latency is. there is no other option. I need reliable video conferencing for school. including nights that I have school. ******* needs to provide an internet connection that they would want at their personal residence.

For reference, telecommunications and broadband1 have been my career since ****. Im informed. I moved into a new apartment in August. Direcpath/Gigamonster is the sole ISP for the complex. Since move in, our internet connection has terrible latency issues. The worst Ive ever had with any internet connection. Direcpath has only provided 1 node for a complex of 350 plus units. ** the networks least congested times, I experience ping spikes up to 150 ms. ** its most congested times(which are the times everyone is at home and wants to use the internet-Nights-weekends-holidays), the ping spikes from network congestion can exceed 2000ms(2 full seconds for 1 ping). The network is being choked at the node. They need at bare minimum 2 nodes. Without an additional node, playing online multiplayer video games, video conferencing, and other point to point applications that require basic serviceable latency are not possible. I have a 14 year old child that cant play online video ganes with friends bc of the horrible latency and their absolute refusal to address this issue. Lots of people work from home here now and have horrible problems video conferencing. I have placed mulitiple trouble tickets with the provider, they know, "its a problem but arent going to do anything about it". Ive called customer service and asked to speak to a network engineer, but get stonewalled. Their tech told me that the majority of the trouble tickets they receive at my complex are about this specific issue. They know about it. They just dont care about addressing it bc they know we dont have another option. They are providing a level of service far below what they would provide in an area where competition from other competitors exist. Which is an fcc violation. The tech also told me the type of node installed at the moment is a problem as well. He said that specific node gives them issues. ***** nodes never do. So- the complex needs two non problematic nodes to route internet traffic properly

I am rejecting this response because: I have been trying since Late August to rectify this issue through normal customer interactions to no avail. I do appreciate the initial response and feel like its a step in the right direction. I will agree to end this dialogue with Direcpath when a resolution for the network latency has been implemented in the field, and the people that live in this complex, including myself, can enjoy the type of latency and speeds that other ISP's offer in other areas where competition between ISP's exists.

My cable went out Tuesday, November 29. I received an error code 775. The earliest time a technician could come was the following monday. The technician called in, and said he could not make it because the weather had him delayed and he was 3 hours from my residence. He said he would come between 3-6 p.m. the next day. He did not call me until 6:10 p.m. and that the issue was electrical, and he said he could not do anything. My apartment complex fixed the electrical issue, and my cable is still not working. I called the technician because I was getting a 771 error code now, and he said he would have to come back and look inside my residence and that he would squeeze me in today. I said after 3 p.m. it would be fine. It is now 6:37 p.m. and I have not heard from him. My cable needs to be fixed ASAP. I refuse to go another weekend without cable. I need to be squeezed in on Thursday or Friday because I have been treated poorly and the service has been below unprofessional. It's ridiculous that I would get charged for not showing, but your technicians can do what they want and have no respect for other people's schedules. My cable needs to be fixed Thursday or Friday. I need to be worked in immediately! I am not trying to be rude, but this service is detestable!

This company does not provide the speeds they are advertising. On July 15th, 2022 I acquired the service with a plan of $49/month for 100Mbps. After multiple diagnosis I found out I was only getting 30 Mbps or about one third the speed I was paying for. I called customer service and I technician came to my apartment, the conclusion was that there was a problem with the wiring of the whole apartment complex. They said they would work on fixing it but did not provide an estimated date for the repairs to be done. Therefore, I requested to be switch to a plan that offered 40 Mbps which was closer to the actual speed I was getting after running tests. The company performed the change, gave me a credit for the amount paid but the problem worsened. Since I did the plan change to the 40 Mbps I have only got speeds of up 7 Mbps. I have contacted them on multiple occasions but their only option is to get a technical visit. They do not offer flexible schedule and are not able to service my location on hours different than 8-5 Monday trough Friday. I work in that timeframe and I am not able to leave my work to come to my apartment to receive the technician. I have asked for them to come either on a Saturday or between 5-7 PM and to actually invest the time and money to fix the issue. At the moment, no other internet providers service the apartment complex I reside in.

I am rejecting this response because:
They have not reached out to me to schedule a service appointment yet, they are offering a visit to be schedule soon instead. As far as I know they are supposed to call me to schedule the appointment and so far, I dont know an exact time or date for my issue to be resolved. They are still not providing a timeframe to repair the complex-wide issue that is preventing them to reach the internet speeds they are offering, so until I have received a solution or a timeframe in written form in which the repairs will be performed, I will not consider the situation resolved.

I have had DirecPath service as they have an exclusive agreement with my apartment complex for over four years. We continually have internet speed issues. I have had numerous technician appointments and each time am told that the bandwidth to the property is not adequate for the size of the property and the services being sold. Currently I have 100mb internet. During the day, my internet speeds cap out between *****mb. In the evening, it drops down to 5mb or lower. I had another technician appointment today and the tech knocked on my door, told me that there is nothing he can do to fix this. He stated that all of his new service activations across multiple buildings at the property all have slow speeds. I contacted the customer support back to try and get a resolution and am just told that there is nothing they can tell me as they have no information. I ask for a supervisor and they refuse to transfer me to speak with one. I continually am billed for the full 100mb internet that they cannot provide. I am attaching a screenshot of what the speeds look like throughout the day and evening The account is under *************************, Phone number ************.

I am rejecting this response because:
I received a call telling me that they are "escalating the issue to Level 2" and will reduce my **** until they can get the issue fixed with the speeds I should receive. They have done nothing to repair the service issue, which is what I need to have happen. I work remote due to Covid and need to have the bandwidth that is offered and signed up for. If they cannot fix the issue, they need to advise the apartment leasing company that they cannot fulfill the contract so the leasing company can find another provider that can.

**************** stopped at my home on Tuesday, June 21, 2022. I called Direcpath, the internet service provider contracted with our apartment complex, and reported the problem. I was told they had a "major problem" that involved both Direcpath (as a third party provider) and ***** whose network Direcpath uses. The outage has continued until the time of this writing. Despite many calls to Direcpath, there has been no repair. I was finally told today (6-25-22) that because Direcpath's contract with our complex has expired, they discontinued the service. My apartment complex management states that Direcpath was to continue the provision of internet service until mid-August 2022, at which time we are entering a contract with a new service provider. I contacted **** (the only other entity my complex allows) and am told that I am ineligible to receive their internet service (via Direct TV or Uverse) because our complex is under contract with Direcpath. I have no options other than ****'s Direct TV ***************** which is considerably more expensive or do without. As I used my internet service for computer communication and television - indeed, my contact with the world outside my apartment - I have no choice but to opt for the **** streaming service. I had to purchase a new telephone with hotspot capability in order to use the Direct TV streaming service and my laptop computer.

Direcpath contacted me this morning. They are going to issue a refund to my account for the entire month of June 2022. Also, I cancelled my service with them and will receive no further billing. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest rating, I would score this company (not the individuals with whom I have spoken) at a MINUS 50. Thank you for helping me to resolve this issue.

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because:
Please refer to my original complaint, #********, filed 6-27-22. I received an undated letter From DirecPath informing me (as a DirecPath customer) that ********************** is discontinuing service to ***************************** (where I reside) as of August 31, 2022. Note: While the letter itself contains no date, the envelope has a postmark of June 21,2022. Due to my previous problems with DirecPath and believing they had discontinued service prematurely (verbal statement by a supervisor named **** via a telephone conversation on 6-25-22), I canceled my service and asked for a refund. I received that refund. Since the day of DirecPath discontinuing my service, I have been without internet and television service since June 21, 2022. In the interim I have attempted to attain internet and television service from other companies. These efforts have been unsuccessful; these companies have told me that they cannot accommodate me because our complex is under contract to another company. Having received the letter of discontinuation from DirecPath giving the specific date upon which they would no longer provide service to this complex, I called and asked that they restore service to my unit at ****************** until the date noted in the letter, August 31, 2022. I am aware that I told them to cancel my service and to issue a refund, but I am also aware that they are obligated to maintain service (which had been discontinued PREMATURELY) until such time as the date of discontinued service, August 31, 2022. I would like to ask that you once again intercede on my behalf in my effort to require DirecPath to honor their commitment to provide service to our complex until 8-31-22, and specifically to my unit.

Sincerely,

No cable service for past 4 days and it has been sporadic for over a year now. I reside in an apartment complex, The Willows of *******, GA, Unit #***. I have been trying to get satisfactory service since Monday May 23rd. Lots of customer service reps and technicians with inaccurate information. Most recently was told our contract at The Willows was not renewed with DirectTV/DirecPath which is incorrect. Can't get a technician out to our unit until June 2nd. I have an 81 year old handicapped resident who relies on the television. I am fed up with this company and their poor service.

I was promised a technician by 05/16/2022 with an arrival time of **** just for the tech to cancel. None of this was communicated.
