GBImpossible to give a lower rating than… Impossible to give a lower rating than 1 star. Internet constantly dropping connection. Customer Service chat techs are smart -alecks that threaten you if questions them. Infrastructure of the network here is ancient and should have been replaced long ago. Guess is 10+yr old equipment. They do not want to provide better service only because there are no other options at this time, so they put the screws to their customers .

GBI switched to Optimum Mobile in hopes… to save a few dollars. I switched to Optimum Mobile in hopes of saving a few dollars as I'm on a fixed income and my internet/phone service had increased by $22/month. They gave me a $5 discount per month on my internet/phone if I took their $25/month mobile plan as opposed to AT&T $65/month. It wasn't even a full week and already they were sending me text messages to up my service for more money. When I inquired about these text messages the agent stated those were only suggestions and that nothing would happen with my service. Today my service tanked and I have nearly ZERO bandwidth using the mobile data. BACK TO AT&T...!

GBI originally started with their service… I originally started with their service when they went under the name Altice and they were using sprint’s and AT&T. They now lease T-Mobile’s towers. Their signal and customer service have improved greatly. I have their 20gig, unlimited talk/text plan and I’m quite satisfied with it. I feel I made the right choice.

GBTerrible Cell Phone Service, Great Wi-Fi The service at the location was great, but the service from the Optimum Cell Phone is horrible. I was offered a package deal on cell phone service when I purchased the Optimum Wi-fi. Being retired the $15 per month I would save by switching from Pure Talk to Optimum phone service sounded like a good deal - $10 off wi-fi and $5 off cell phone service. This, even though I was only getting 1 gig with Optimum whereas I has 2 Gigs with Pure Talk which gave me 5 star service. Bad mistake. Just a few things about Optimum: No ringing when I make a call, just silence until someone answers or a voicemail message. I called Optimum and also went by their office. Neither could do anything about it. No icon letting me know if I have VM. When I call VM, the first thing is to enter my passcode which is not easy to do. I have to hit the numbers just right or I get the same instructions over and over until I hang up, because if you miss it the first time, you get no more chances to get it right. If and when I get it right, a long message follows. Then the VM. Then a long message on all the options. Again, hitting an option number sometimes will never work. There are some more problems with VM. Also, when I get a VM followed by options (as to listen to the VM, delete and redo, etc.), it does not respond to my option, just keeps repeating until I hang up. I do not believe I can do a conference call. It was easy with Pure Talk, but I find no way to do a conference call with Optimum. Etc. To sum it up, the cell phone service is terrible. However, the wi-fi is fantastic.

GBSame poor customer service as always. The company for the longest time has had the most unbelievably worst customer service. I would say it's actually how their trained. Crap attitude training how to give crap attitude to customer base! Doesnt matter if connecting or disconnecting. And your responses are a joke, especially after all these years. Changing the name hasn't helped either!
