I'M GOING TO VERIZON AFTER 21 YEARS ...GATEWAY IS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER

WHERE DO I START???? I was so excited on FEBRUARY 2ND 2022 to install the Tmobile home internet Gateway. It was supposed to take 15 minutes...it ended up being 8 hours to get it to work correctly I should have known right there that this was a giant mistake when the tower they sent had a bad modem chip! I had to go to the nearest tmobile which is 30 minutes away wait 45 minutes to be waited on to get the new one (because they didnt want to inconvenience me) got home 30 minutes later to spend several more hours to get it to work. A MONTH LATER...NO INTERNET..ANOTHER MODEM ISSUE..it was call after call to INDIA where no-one can speak to you about the issue because they are to busy reading from their book of what to say and just keep talking over you the entire time. Sooooo I wait the "overnight" send which is always 3-4 DAYS. They were so kind to not charge me for the expedite ands gave me a discount of $25 which never went to my account. OHHH and I forgot to add that the 8 hour debacle for my trouble I was getting a $40 charge for 6 months..THAT NEVER happened shockingly there was no "note".  NOW IT IS MAY...the internet GOES down..I called talked to a guy again in India who tried to give me a hundred excuses as to what the problem may be. I was away for the weekend came home and no internet but somehow someone must have moved it too close to a microwave.  Soooo its been 4 days of phone calls I talk to someone for 2 hours on MAY 16th. WE FINALLY get straight that I am not calling about a phone problem🤦‍♀️🤬.  She will send me MY 4TH TOWER SINCE FEBRUARY 2ND because once again the modem is not woking.  ON the 19th I call to find out where the tower is I HEAR CHICKENS IN THE BACKGROUND AS THE "TECH SUPPORT" PERSON TELLS ME THAT THE LAST PERSON NEVER PUT IN THE ORDER FOR THE NEW ONE! SOOO here I am BACK on hold MAY 20TH with yet another person SANDRA who is reading from her book about being so sorry for the inconvenience as I demand to speak to a SUPERVISOR WHOHAS BEEN BUSY THE PAST 35 MINUTES. I have lost my mind on this and am looking up VERIZON PLANS as I wait on hold. 

I’ve been with them for 21 years! thats longer then most marriages! and I am still on hold….

    How not would you pay 3 different times for the same phone with same problems and get told to bring to didn't company and have to pay them to fix if you say yes I'm not arguing one bit but disagree 100%

    In under 4 months months I have full coverage insurance I pay for but this close to holidays I don't have a extra grand for a new phone if you do can I borrow with 19% interest rates I have great credit lol. Trying to make light of the situation but you can only give in so much before enough is enough right 

  • Please let me hear your opinion about this hole situation what would you do. Keep paying for 6 devices and be OK 

  • my opinion would be to ask such questions in an area more dedicated to your question..not piggy backing onto someone elses issue and trying to turn it into your thread/issue..
