DSL Extreme "not what its states", will over bill you and just a little faster than Dailup, Internet
DSL Extreme is not what its states
Not very fast for being a DSL service, just a little faster than Dailup.
I canceled due to a number of problems but the fail nail in the coffin was the pricing.
They state one price and like a Dummy I paid a year in advance to get a lower over all price. After the year was almost up they came back and stated a balance was due and the price will being going up Almost double in price. So I cancelled and return their modem as requested. After a while they stated I never returned their modem and will be billing me on top of the other charges in question.
Lucky they record their phone calls, after a number of calls and requests in writing they failed to show why a balance was due. After talking to a number of people I requested a floor supervisor pull the phone recording and play it for himself. At that time they backed off the over charges but refuse to back off on their modem (which I have no use for) and return any over payment . The new service supplied their own modem and I had my own Router. I refused to pay for something I returned so they sent it to a bill corrector and they have been hounding me ever since.
Reasons I cancelled
1: Slow speed
2: Pricing is not as stated
3: Tried to bill for more then was stated at end of contract
4: Service was down far to many times
5: Help line was slow and over 50% of the time useless
6: Tried to charge me $100 for a $20 modem that I returned
7: After a number of years they are still trying to get that $100.00
8: They state a Free modem but its a lease, look at the fine print.
9: They refuse to refund any over payment
Once again DSLExtreme is not what they state
This is why I keep records See below (this is a cut and paste from my records)

Subject: Re: Your Cancellation Date
I'm confused, if you cancelled my service March 7 but I'm paid untl June - why do I have only until April 6, to return a modem (that I never used in the 1st place because I had my own wireless modem) ??
