I have had this svc for nearly a yr. Excellent! Faster, lower cost & MUCH more reliable than my prev provider. ALL employees have been helpful, pleasant & respectful. All businesses should have their reps trained by whoever trained these folks. Billing issues have been a problem. 1. Installation fee only for lowest speed. Expressed concern re indirect discrimination against those with the least purchasing power & trying to justify it-an effect of "incentive" pricing. Contacted by another rep & that fee was waived. 2. Told that my svc was a reg. price & not a promotional. 1st stmt. listed it as a promotional & indicated that the price would be increased shortly. Sales rep checked that the price would not be incr. during the yr. 3. Fee for paper stmts increased by $1 with no notice. I could avoid the fee by going online. Set up cc as an auto payment. Later my cc info changed but something happened with entering the info & cc wasn't debited. Rec'd an overdue notice. IT person said that the lack of that email verifying paymt indicated the bill wasn't pd. Told that I should have known. I suggested some notification of this be added. That issue was fixed. 4. Cc debited $4 more than amt due on stmt. Per the rep, convenience fee for use of cc began. Told they would have sent a sep. email which I didn't get. I had overlooked a notice at the end of my online stmt. No $4 fee was listed on stmt though. Re. legalities in my state, conv fees allowed, service fees for cc's not. Conv fee approx $2 more than cc svc chge. By law, fee supposed to be on stmt. Credit for $4 was given. I have auth bank draft but having unexpected amts coming directly out of bank acct. is worrisome. With a cc I can delay payment until a dispute is resolved.Review from Essence L

Pretty shady to situate yourself as the local monopoly on fiber optic internet then “allow” yourself 24 hours to reinstate service after a single missed payment is rectified.

This company skirts around ethical behavior by vaguely letting towns and cities know what their objectives are. In ***** ******** specifically in the midlands region, they have cause chaos through their unprofessional installation practices and arrogant business practices. They are a nuisance to the community. They cut power lines , dig on private property, cut water lines and have no plan for remediation. They hire mostly illegal immigrants to do the hard labor for low wages. Their managers treat them terribly by verbally abusing them and over working them. This company is awful and unethical.Lumos Networks, Inc. Response

We had Lumos fiber optic Wi-Fi connected yesterday (12/11/23), and it works GREAT! I especially want to praise the installer, Chris. He was here for hours because of the complicated layout of our house making access difficult. Chris was extremely pleasant, very knowledgeable and informative. We are seniors and not very tech savvy so he made it easy for us to understand. Helen ****** ******* **Lumos Networks, Inc. Response
