Have been with Suddenlink since August. The first month or so it was okay, but recently 1)I can't stream netflix or hulu without it pausing to load every 45 seconds even when I'm the only one in the house with the fastest plan. 2) I can not log onto my account online even after resetting both my username AND password (I'm pretty tech savy so it's not me) 3) can not reach a representative and 4) the number for the college station provider apparently isn't an actually working number. The make no effort to reach out to their customers. Highly DO NOT recommend!

I absolutely loathe this whole scam of a company. I can't pay my bill on the sh*t system they have so I get disconnected regularly and they blame me. Then take 2 weeks to restore my service
