Description of Work: Wide Open West (WOW) has been our provider for cable, internet, and phone for many years. The price is right for the services we need. However, we have had to renegotiate our contract when we felt they raised their prices too high. They have friendly, available, and knowledgable customer service personnel. The few times we have had to get someone out to our house to repair or replace equipment, they're punctual, friendly, and get the job done.

Description of Work: Was looking for a Internet service provider alternative. The pricing offered was very competitive, the sales person was highly responsive and to the point in putting together a quote for exactly what we wanted. The installer was on schedule, worked with us on how we wanted the cable run, tested the service and had us up and running and the service quality and performance was as advertised. |Overral, very professional service, and are happy with the service.

Service was excellent.
Description of Work: I have been a WOW customer for many years and every chance I have I tell people what a great company they are. I have been having periodic outage of my internet. Customer Service person was very helpful and instead of sending me another modem, which I had wanted, he set up a service call with a 2 hour timeframe. The tech was not only on time but even a little early. Apparently there was a bad ground block which was replaced and he reconfigured the wiring to the modem. In the end a new modem would not have corrected the problem so I am grateful that the Customer Service person suggested a service call. Every time I experience a problem or have a question they are polite, knowledgeable and have corrected the problem in a timely manner. I'm extremely happy to be a WOW customer and I highly recommend them.

Excellent service. Had problem with 1 TV, got through to customer support and they scheduled service call. Service man called to ask if he could come early. He spent a lot of time checking out all the cables throughout the house, and eventually discovered a defective splitter I didn't know I had. Very professional both in person and on phone. Seem to offer the best deal in area (Elgin). BTW I noticed a poor rating for this company in which the reviewer complained about DSL. I don't think Wide Open West offers DSL services as they are a cable company.
Description of Work: Upgraded cable to basic cable, voip phone, and 6Mbit Internet service.

THEY WERE ON TIME AND WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THEIR INTERNET SERVICE. THE NICEST PART IS THAT THEY HAVE 24 HOUR "LIVE" SERVICE TECHS TO HELP WITH QUESTIONS. OUR SWITCH OVER DID NOT GO SMOOTHLY BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE BETWEEN OUR OLD PROVIDER (COMCAST) & THE WOW GROUP. EVERYTHING IS WORKING SMOOTHLY NOW.
Description of Work: WOW CAME OUT TO HOOK UP OUR PHONE. WE USE THEM FOR INTERNET & CABLE TV.

I SAT AND WAITED FOR AN INSTALLATION PERSON WHO NEVER SHOWED UP. IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY CANCELLED MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF A GLITCH, AND NEVER BOTHERED TO LET ME KNOW. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO RESCHEDULE, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY'D ALREADY COST ME A HALF-DAY, THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME A SMALLER TIME FRAME OR HAVE SOMEONE CALL ME AHEAD OF TIME TO LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WERE COMING. I CANCELLED THE SERVICE.
Description of Work: I SIGNED UP TO GET TELEPHONE, CABLE TV, AND INTERNET ACCESS.

Description of Work: TWO APPOINTMENTS WERE MADE TO ESTABLISH DSL SERVICE. SECOND APPOINTMENT WAS CANCELED, WITHOUT NOTIFICATION, AND COMPANY NOW SAYS THEY CAN NOT SERVICE OUR AREA. TWO HALF DAYS WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM WORK TO MEET THE SERVICE PERSON. WHEN CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS CONTACTED IT TOOK ESCALATION TO A MANAGER TO DETERMINE WHY THE APPOINTMENT WAS CANCELED. TWO REPS WERE TALKED TO AND WERE VERY UNCONCERNED WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE. CALL BACK AND EXPLANATION WAS PROMISED IN 10 MINUTES...FOUR HOURS LATER, WE''RE STILL WAITING!
