Lies and deceptions

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Very deceptive business. I had a tenant who wracked up a large bill on a property I no longer own. I reached a settlement agreement and paid the agreed amount in full. The Stark Agency, whom they assigned the account to, is trying to say I still owe them money. TDS refuses to confirm that Ive paid in full. Just filed a complaint with the BBB. Next stop is the Oregon Attorney General and then my attorney, Michael Fuller with underdog.

Bend Oregon Customer

Sent to collections after account was already closed and not willing to fix the issue.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Being sent to collections after zero communication. Just randomly got a collections bill in the mail. We closed our account in August... it's almost December. Waited 45 minutes for 2 supervisors and now have to wait 2 DAYS to talk to someone higher up. Messing with our credit makes me furious. We left them because of the horrible communication and customer service to begin with. Now months later we have to deal with this. That one-star review has been there for years and it's not going up anytime soon.

WiFi lacks speed, connectivity, service, really it’s non-existent

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
It would be easier to write the times down that the WiFi has worked in a months timeframe.. which is maybe a few hours every other day at best. I dont think Ive ever talked to an actual person from there in 20yrs? And it is not for lack of trying. Idk why we pay them anything?.? Its just a bill that shows up and I guess we hope that one day it will work. Also, it is impossible to cancel with them. They are the worst provider Ive ever had. Dial up would be better..

Illegal Charges

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bendbroadband charges for rental of equipment which is NOT needed. A special router for GPON is NOT needed. Any wi-fi router sold today will work at Bendbroadbands gigabite speeds. Many of Netgear's routers can spoof Bendbroadband's MAC address of their rented router and demonstrate that any router will get the job done. Bendbroadband is a crook!

Ability to answer a customer call

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have spent close to 2 hours on the phone on hold listening to crappie music. Is your policy keep them on hold until they give up. I had questions about some charges and the terms used in your billing. I also want to know why you are having tech problems with different channels. They go blank or are a scrambled mess. Also the timing on some shows is off. I would give you A ZERO out of Five at the present time.

Wife teaches by Zoom and online and our connection is terrible right now. As usually try and call and get help and put on hold and finally get fed up and hang up.

Wife could not teach at home and had to run into work. Also we changed banks and gave them a new routing number for online bill paying. First month was fine and next thing we are receiving in the mail that we are two months behind and our service would be disconnected. We called and we told it takes time fore the new routing numbers to go through.

REALLY? So why did it work one month?

IDIOTS. If only there was more competition in this town so we could get away from Bendbroadband.

BendBroadband - No response to service request after two months.
Updated by user Jul 30, 2021

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product or service ordered.

Updated by user Jul 05, 2021

So...we spent the fourth of July digging up and moving their cable.

Original review Jul 05, 2021
We are having a new garage built on property. We have tried to get Bend Broadband to move their cable for two months and TEN calls into them. The worst!!!!!! Still today, no solid response. Oh, but they jump right on those sales calls!!! They will let you chat for a sales call, but if you have a technical or service issue you sit on hold and get no record of your conversation. I am sure they are too busy with all the new multi-housing projects going up in Bend. It must be a big "cash cow" for them.

Poor service with technical support response time

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
*I have a bad video recorder box and I cannot see programming on the channel guide thus service is scheduled but a week out and thus your service is unacceptable. The TV in my spare room is locked for all channels and there is no pin to input to clear the problem thus I called technical support and waited 29 minutes to get a support person that could not give me assist. I went on line to sign in to my account and could not because I don'I disliket have a pin#. Your technical support is a drastic failure and sadly I am going to cancel my tv service.
