    We call to upgrade our internet so we had service out to the garage not just the main part of the house. The company missed the first visit complete the called and told me the moved us up into a early time slot and then never showed. The next day I call and asked why no one showed the lady said we had been mover to 5 days later in the morning. I told them this is not what I was told I was a manager to call me no call. Nothing! Finally 5 day later I got a my service Upgrade the two they came out was great did a wonderful job they call in because I had to pay for the line ran and so on I did with a debit card. I had no balance as I paid the full month already. Now this morning on March 29 I got a email saying I have a past due amount and a late fee. I never received a new email saying anything about and additional charge. I paid for it all when they installed it they said in the phone it was a 0 balance. So now Im looking at a late fee for extra billing I never was told about. After waiting 5 days extra because the couldn’t make it in the space I was originally told for service upgrade. Not talking to anyone about extra charges after I paid for everything when they installed it. No billing sent to my email. Nothing and they add a late fee for it. I check my email several time a day. I would like to repeat the two who came out on the new appointment to finally set it up did a great job.

    We have attached the recording of customer agreeing to reschedule. We are going to send the customer the recording. Customer is claiming she could not understand the dispatcher however she had a clear conversation with him and responded to his questions. We feel this would be best handled between us and the customer. Customer is not saying what exactly she wants or expects from the company. This is a current customer.

    Customer had a conversation clearly agreeing to dispatch rescheduling. We will email customer the recording also. Recording including full conversation between customer and dispatch has also been submitted directly to BBB. We would prefer communication between customer and email to management so that we might resolve the issue and customers concerns in a timely manner.

    This business was my internet provider. I moved locations so canceled my services (was not in the middle of a contract). The tech guy told me to leave the internet equipment there because the new tenants were going to be utilizing their services. I then get a bill for the equipment. I called the business and told them, I did what I was told to do. Royell stated the equipment wasn't left there. I called and asked the people that I was renting from, and they said nothing was there ( I left it there). As God as my witness, I left it at there. I moved from this and took care of this in 10/21 ( I thought). I have not received any further communication from them since 2021 or beginning of 1/22, and thought it was resolved after I spoke again to the tech department (because they told me to leave it there). I received a bill from a collection agency on this account for this amount from Royell on 1/31/22. I called Royell and they stated there was nothing they could do as it is now in collection.

    The collection agency has been contacted, the account has been removed from collections and the case has been closed.
