  I was charged for my sister's internet services at a completely different location than mine. I simply called in to have it corrected as I was sure it was a mistake. When I called the General Manager ****** ******* answered with an attitude to tell me my account was just a mess. Mind you shes the one who I've always delt with and who set my accounts up. How they got my card information on someone else's account I don't know. I had my two-year-old with me who had started to whine a little in the background (nothing bad). She told me "Can you get rid of that crying child its really starting to get on my nerves" My response was Excuse me? She then hung up on me. I called back requesting to speak to someone else. She refused and said now that you got rid of the child Ill deal with you. I demanded someone else where I was told I was out of luck that she ran the place. I have reached out to the owner and called twice to speak to him with no response. I have 4 accounts with them I said I would cancel she responded with I dont care go ahead. This is extremely unproffessional and I am disgusted with how myself and my toddler were treated.

  Ms ***** gave us the corresponding cards to charge for the 4 separate
  accounts she has with us. We simply enter the card number that is provided on a
  submitted form that the client fills out and submits to us. We have no way of
  knowing that  the information provided is incorrect for the corresponding
  account, nor do we have a way of obtaining the information unless provided by
  the client.As far as the telephone conversation, the words are not correctly relayed
  but attached is an email that was sent to the claimant, as well as the owner
  and office manager, immediately following the conversation.Ms. *****,If you are not cancelling service, we need to get a Change
  of Responsibility form filled out and signed for whoever lives at***** ******* *** and ***** ******* ***.I need:Full Legal NameAddressPhone NumberEmail AddressDriver’s
  License NumberI will complete
  the form and email to the responsible party at the current address.In regards to
  our two telephone conversations, I had a poor choice of words when I said “when
  you get rid of the baby”, what I should have said “is when we can converse
  without the interference”. I was irritated because you had just emailed at
  9:01a, and while I was in the process of trying fix your issue, you called in
  at 9:14a expecting an answer that I hadn’t had the time to get for you…so my
  apologies that it caused the situation to get out of hand.Thank you,****** FortuneB2x Online, Inc*** **** ********* *** ********** ******** *****phone: ###-###-####*********: ###-###-####****************************

  I called B2X Online to ask when service would be restored. The service had been out for 4 1/2 days at this point and had been told it was to have been restored the prior day. I asked to speak with the owner or manager and a woman answered after being on hold. I did not get her name, but she said she was the manager. She started the conversation being combative, and told me that she would not allow me to talk over her. I allowed her to speak and I began to ask questions concerning the structure of the company, mainly how many tower techs were employed. She became more combative and told me it wasn’t my concern. I just wanted an honest answer concerning restoring the service. She went on to say the tower techs had gone to the pole and could not reach it because of vegetation. I told her i could see a pole and there was nothing around it. At that point she said she wasn’t going to listen to this and said If you don’t want our service just let me know! She then hung up on me. How does a company have a person like that as a manager? After reading complaints on this site, I wish we had an alternative.

  July 18, 2023To Respond to the complaint.  The location in quest is located in ******* ********.  This site serves a very rural location and
  mounted on existing Farm Silo.  The
  customer is aware of the transmission location and how to get to the location.  The account holder is very aware of the
  surrounding and what is needed to provide service in that area.  July 13th the site took a lightning
  strike and it destroyed the equipment providing them internet service.  This location serves 3 people and also links
  to a secondary remote site providing the customer in question.  The secondary site provides 3 more people
  service. We went to the site and assessed the problem and removed the
  equipment and brought It back to the shop for repair or replace.  After returning to the shop, we were unable
  to get the equipment repaired until late Friday afternoon.  This was too late to go to the site to reinstall
  the equipment.  We call all of the people
  that were affected by the service outage and told them that it would be Monday before
  we could return with the equipment.  The
  Weekend the weather and storms caused more outages and the internal staff and external
  field crews worked all weekend.  Monday
  came and we were still trying to all of the service restored.  I had the internal tech staff alert the
  ******* effected area that we will not be able to make it on Monday but would
  have the service restore on Tuesday.  Tuesday
  morning, we replaced the equipment and the service is restored.  The customer writing the complaint did get a call form us on
  the day stated above.  On Monday they
  called in and were wanted to know our internal working of the company and why
  the service was not restored.  The man
  became belligerent and hateful to our internal
  customer service reps.  The customer called
  back and repeated the same conversation with my tech staff.  Additionally, to the operations manager.  B2X wants to provide service to the customers. We want to make
  sure the service is reliable and stable.  The equipment had failed and it needed to be repair or replaced and that
  takes time.  Our staff worked all weekend
  repairing and correcting issues all weekend.  Even if the equipment was replaced at the customer’s transmitter site,
  they may not have service due to the other outages in the service area.  As the customer saw it, we were not fixing
  his issue.  When in fact were fixing the
  issues that would prevent him and many other from receiving service, but we were
  not at his site.  How do you explain to a
  customer that there are many moving parts to a network system, if a major point
  is down, fixing an end point will not bring there service back online.  If B2X was not as skilled and staffed as we
  are, the service would still be down and many customers would still be without
  service.  Additional Comments, the customer requested a credit for lack of service.  His account was given credit.Below are notes from the account: 7/14/2023 8:45:41 AM - *****: Cust called about not having
  service; tower is down at the moment and transferred cust to tech support7/14/2023 9:00:30 AM - ****: Told customer of tower issue,
  told him tower crew has been dispatched but no time estimate.7/17/2023 10:27:33 AM - *****: I had a missed called from customer;
  I called bk and left vm. Not sure if she was calling about not having service.
  I did advise her in vm that service should be back up this afternoon.7/18/2023 8:18:08 AM - *****: customer called in very upset
  that internet is still out. She would not let me get one word in and kept
  talking over me, she decided she wanted to hold for the owner or Manager and
  finally hung up. Then husband has called back demanding to speak with a
  "higher up" that could give him answers. ***** transferred to ******.7/18/2023 8:51:35 AM - ******: spoke with customer husband
  at great length and very heated; he didn't want to listen to what I had to say
  until I told him he called for answers he needed to listen to what they were.
  After going round and round I told him I was not going to keep going at it like
  this and disconnected the call.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

  B2X claims to have a weekend 'on call technician'. This is not true. There is no 'on call technician' who returns calls after hours or on weekends. I have had this service since moving to this address in 2019. This is the only service available at this address at this time. Multiple connectivity issues. Multiple after hours issues. Never a return call until regular business days. This is false advertising.

  B2X does have a weekend on call technician that replies to voice mails if it is a solution that can be resolved through a phone call. If no trouble is detected that can be resolved through a phone call then they wait until the next business day. If B2X is experiencing outages, there is a recorded message that states where we are experiencing outages and these customers are not called back due to the large call volume and time constraints.In this particular case we have no call log record that a call was placed from her number to ours until Monday, 07/25/22 12:42pm and we had a repair person at her home by 2pm. The trouble was at the customers house as per the notes:7/25/2022 2:17:23 PM - *****: Found that the ethernet going into lightning suppression was yanked out and mess the port up so it would no longer hold the ethernet in replaced lightning suppression with new one customer up and going mention to customer that she has some trees blocking her signal and it has degraded since we’ve done the upgrade she will get with her lawn service and see if they can get them out the way
