ISP Service Outages Persist for Months with No Resolution Path for Customers
Internet service providers allow documented outages to persist for extended periods while continuing to bill customers. Customers with confirmed hardware or infrastructure failures receive no resolution timeline despite multiple technician visits. The complaint and escalation process lacks binding SLA enforcement mechanisms.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyISP fails to resolve chronic home internet issues across six months of complaints
A Comcast/Xfinity customer experienced repeated service failures over six months and received no working resolution despite multiple complaints. ISPs face minimal accountability for persistent service degradation when there is no effective regulatory enforcement or easy competitor switching. Consumers have no recourse beyond continuing to complain to the same unresponsive provider.
ISPs charge full rates while delivering half-speed service and missing repair appointments
Comcast continued billing a 26-year customer at full rate for internet speeds running at less than half the contracted level, with their own diagnostics confirming an infrastructure fault. Despite multiple technician visits and broken commitments over weeks, the underlying cable issue was never repaired. Internal escalation policies requiring three failed appointments before engineering review enable prolonged service-level breaches.
AT&T Internet Outage Without Communication or Refund
A residential AT&T customer experienced 12+ days of internet outage with no explanation or restoration timeline. The provider failed to communicate or compensate despite continued billing. This is an individual service dispute, not a systemic software-addressable market problem.
ISPs Bill Customers for Months of Service They Failed to Activate
Internet service providers mail self-install kits to customers who cannot complete setup, then refuse to provide assisted setup while continuing to charge monthly fees. Non-technical and senior customers are systematically disadvantaged by self-install-first policies. The combination of failed activation and continued billing creates financial harm with no internal escalation path.
ISP AI chatbots block escalation for multi-day service outages
A customer with four consecutive days of internet downtime found the provider only offered an AI chatbot with no way to reach a human representative or track a fix. This reflects a broader pattern where AI-first support deflects urgent, unresolved issues instead of escalating them, leaving customers without recourse.
