  1. Had an internet issue and spoke with Terroya who took the time to listen to the specific issue I had and was able to escalate my issue to their tech Alex who called me and spent an hour even going over his closing time to make sure we were up and running. A deep thanks to these 2 individuals from the Boyd family in Va.

  2. Worked with Marc from the NOC on an ongoing issue and he was extremely patient, helpful and accommodating. When we couldn’t fully resolve the issue with configuring our theatres network equipment to their connection they sent Riley out to …

  3. SCAM!!!! THEY SAY THEIR CENTURY LINK PHONE COMPANY AND OUT BILL IS PAST DUE AND BEING SHUT OFF, LITTLE DO THEY KNOW, WE ARE A BUSINESS AND DON’T HAVE CENTURY LINK. PLEASE DON’T FALL INTO THEIR TRAP

  4. This company talk my 87 year old grama into a one year contract that she had no idea what she was sighing up for have. Have no respect just fooling people for money.

  5. This company is poorly run, and they’re always trying to push other products and services despite you telling them no. I had a horrible experience dealing with this company, and it would be the last company I do business with again.

  6. Thanks to Jacob at Clear Rate Communications for going the extra mile to help me get my internet connected! Appreciate you checking back to make sure all was well!

  7. I got a call from Clear Rate,I was told they were in competition with Verzion,At&t,and that Century Link would no longer carry my phone service,and I would be saving money,I told them I already was,but no she said,how did I allow my better …

  8. This company has been handling my service for my business for several years and I could not be happier with all aspects from the cost to reliability of the service not to mention the prompt responses of the customer service team especially during Covid-19.

  9. I had never heard of this company, until my mother in law who is in a nursing home got a bill, she had verizon phone service,and all of a sudden she has clear rate, she is low income so she had lifeline with verizon so her bill was $16.00 a …

  10. Don’t even have a account open and never heard of them and they sent me a fake number saying it’s my number and billing me over $200 for a number I don’t even have.

  11. Supervisor Shelby at corporate office was extremely ruid and condensending. Asked to speak with someone else she said there was no one else to speak to. I will never use clear rate and make sure anyone I know doesn’t either. WHAT A JOKE!

  12. This company is amazing. They are extremely on top of the customer service. The prices are significantly lower than the competition. My only regret is not being called by them earlier.

  13. Had to d/c service loved in moved to assisted living walkers ne thru texting docu.e ts and d/c service want to mention Sean who was awesome and left detailed notes so Arial was able to assist and ended deal with Eric all three were knowagble and very gracious

  14. Never heard of this company before today. They told an older lady that the service is Verizon. 0 customer service on the phone and the best solution they had was to ask another carrier for help. 🤦🏾‍♂️ …

  15. The lie way to much. I was told way to many different times the will call me back to fix my service. Right along with a rude man not answering my question. Why was I told one time then him telling me something different. Makes me want to cancel my service and go back to my old one

  16. This is the worst company for internet. The internet works approximately 3 hours out of 12 hours of the day. If the power goes off and comes back on, the WiFi stays out until someone physically comes out to fix it. And that takes days and sometimes weeks. Definitely the slowest and junkiest internet I’ve ever had.

  17. They scammed my elderly dad into switching to them- they promised him half what he was paying and so far he has been charged more. Scamming the elderly!! They should be shut down!

  18. This is the worse company ever. They told me they were part of century link. We lost all internet forthe business for 3 days. dont change your provider stay away from this company

  19. This company called 97-year-old man convinced him he needed long distance he doesn’t even know how to dial a phone now he’s stuck with a bill for service he will never use

  20. I like this company until a few months ago. I always pay online by check. Now, I cannot log in and THEY WILL NOT help me. If you call to pay you MUST pay online! I will find someone else to deal with!

  21. This Company has provided me with excellent quality service as well as very prompt customer service during the pandemic. The savings I’ve seen couldn’t have come at a better time for me and my family.

  22. This company are a bunch of scammers and liers! Stay far away from them. I turned them over to the Attorney Generals Office for fraud! I wish every one who had a bad experience would do the same in the state you live in. With enough …

  23. ClearRate has been a great company to work with and has always taken care of our service needs. I highly recommend them for your companies internet/phone services. Ask for Sherry!

  24. This company missrepresents themselves when they call . They told my husband that they were “taking over’ Frontiers service in our area. I had no idea it had even happened until I tried to contact Frontier and was told that we were now …

  25. We’ve used their phone service for years and have no issues! Thanks for years of great service! We’ve had a home phne service with this company since 2004 and will continue to keep doing business with them. Other companies want 3 times the amount we pay.

  26. This is in reference to security guard who knew I was coming (from an hour away) and was unavailable. Had to return another day, lost a full days pay driving back and forth & all he can say is “I was at the dock”. Funny, I drove around the …

  27. Switched to Comcast a few years ago and never looked back, they sued us for breach of contract after we were forced to switch due to reliability issues with their phone and internet services. (we were loyal customers for many many years prior to experiencing these problems) Comcast business is faster, cheaper and way more reliable.

  28. This company called me today and it was so obvious that they were trying to double talk me into thinking that they had taken over for Frontier. I let the girl run through her whole spiel and then hung up on her without saying a word to her. …

  29. I don’t like getting calls from telemarketers claiming they are centurylink partners. They use deceptive practices trying to get you to switch to their phone service.

  30. I would give this company 0 stars if I could, they have been providing “service” for my business for the past two years and I have NEVER had worse phone and internet reliability. Take my advice and stay away from this company. They are re-selling ATT to you and charging you more money for a sub-par product.

  31. Big mistake on my part to switch from frontier. Clear rate sent me a letter stating internet will be active july 3rd…..internet shows connected but it says it is unavailable. I called clear rate on the 3rd they said it is set to be on for …

  35. Awful company! They took advantage of my elderly father.They convinced him to switch and promised lower rates- this has not been the case. They are charging him more than his previous company.

  36. I contacted this company because I was not able to get verizon in the area where I live. First of all, don’t ever call after 6 because whoever you talk with after that time will not be of any help. I only wanted internet services which was …
