See attached memo regarding cable converter box.
While burying his neighbor cable drop, Insight tore out Mr. Vandervort's cable. They ran a new cable across his yard. It took five weeks to bury his cable. Now, its been 10 weeks since the inital incident and his yard is still not repaired. He has made several phone calls to Insight to resolve this problem.
During the month of July, Insight trimmed back branches away from their equipment. The equipment was left unsecured and the branches left. After a few phone calls to Insight, the box was secured, however, the branches have not be removed. Please see the attached memo for detailed information regarding this complaint.
Mr. Whitmer contacted Insight in an effort to add a premium channel to his Classic service. He was told that he must rent a cable box for each TV (at a cost of $3.95/box) in order to view premium channels. His TV is already cable ready and he does have digital service. He would like to know why he must rent the box in order to keep his normal service and add one premium channel.
Subscriber stated that his bill increased $3.50 this month. Subscriber stated that he was not informed of rate increase; he has called Insight to question his bill several times, and he has been placed on hold repeatedly and received no response.
Mr. Holdeman owns this property. He states that he called Insight to get a price quote for basic cable. He recieved a quote for $11.95 with free installation. After this service was installed, he received a bill for approximately $40.00 which included extended cable. He is upset that he was quoted one price but was billed another which included a service that he did not want.
Customer is forced to get an analog box to receive cable services; not only is Insight forcing her to rent the box, but Insight has made it very difficult to arrange for the box to be installed. An arrival time for a tech cannot be guaranteed; cust. waited from 8-12 and was then told she had the wrong date. Customer feels Insight is forgetting that she is the customer, and Insight is the service provider.
customer pays $1.99/mo for a converter box for ea. television in order to receive Showtime/HBO; customer feels this charge is unfair and another way for Insight to make an additional profit
QUESTIONING NEW STORMWATER CHARGES
Subscriber called Insight about reception problems with Showtime; she was told that the premium channels would be switched to Digital in the coming months, and because of this changeover Insight would not repair it. Subscriber would like to know why it is necessary that she change to Digital and why the current service cannot be repaired. She would also like to know if the new service will provide better reception and better service or will the quality be the same?
