Had the person who made that claim taken a few minutes to check on the Vonage web site, he would have found that Vonage was temporarily having difficulty with their systems at that time. It was clearly, announced that changes to your account were not possible at that time and the engineers were presently working on the problem.

This complaint was made by someone who simply didn't have the sense to go to the source and read!
I don't follow your logic. Vonage has no provision to cancel service via their site - you need to call in. What sense does it make to go poking around Vonage's site if the person's intent is to cancel service?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13852206 Sat, 09 Jul 2005 18:52:05 EDT Re: About Com"crap" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13849809 Zeb : When I ordered Flashcom DSL years ago, I was never charged for installation or the modem.

Second, has ANYONE ever noticed a billing issue that benefited the customer? Like being under charged? Or given free service due to "system Trouble"?
Yeah, I'm one of them. I haven't paid for DSL service since last November when I renewed due do a problem that no one can find in the billing system. (Actually, I did overpay my bill a few times, but whats the point if it just offsets the next wrong bill?). Its been escalated to all the right people and departments without luck. After about 6 months, I was told not to bother calling any more; just enjoy it till it's fixed.

Of course there is the flip side. It took me two years and a letter froma lawyer to ditch an unlimited hour ISDN account from WorldCrapMCI that they started billing hourly on for no reason during their merger. Every month for a year we called in to get the bill corrected, and every month it came wrong again. We closed the acount paid in full, but they thought I still owned them the hourly rates. No wonder they went under.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13845471 Fri, 08 Jul 2005 18:08:56 EDT Re: About Com"crap" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13845396 anon : it's not the employee's fault, they simply need a better class of customer.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13845396 Fri, 08 Jul 2005 17:59:47 EDT Re: About Com"crap" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13844865 chesney09 : The complaint is a valid and legit complaint. First, It isn't my problem that they are having "System Trouble" and it prohibits me cancelling my service. If they are having THAT kind of trouble, they have more issues than ANY of us are aware of. A billing system should have enough redundency to really not have any noticeable down time.
Second, has ANYONE ever noticed a billing issue that benefited the customer? Like being under charged? Or given free service due to "system Trouble"? I can think of a VERY select few over the years. And I have worked in Broadband and Telecom for the better part of 10 years.. From Network operations to Consulting and Auditing billing.
Telecom is TERRIBLE when it come to erroneous billing that benefits the carrier.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13844865 Fri, 08 Jul 2005 17:02:46 EDT Re: About Com"crap" http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13844792 Maarvin : Had the person who made that claim taken a few minutes to check on the Vonage web site, he would have found that Vonage was temporarily having difficulty with their systems at that time.
