They also report nightly internet outages.

surfaced semanticallyTelecom Third-Party Call Centers Upsell Unwanted Equipment During Signup, Nearly Doubling Bills
A customer who only wanted internet service was upsold into an unwanted, unnecessary phone upgrade during signup through a third-party call center, then received the wrong device, saw their bill nearly double, and spent 1-2 hours per call over three weeks getting transferred with no resolution. Using outsourced third-party call centers for signup appears to create an accountability gap where the carrier disclaims responsibility for what was promised at the point of sale.
