Adelphia

Pros: It's high-speed cable. It's fast. Like all high-speed cable.
Cons: Customer service is terrible, uncommunicative, rude. Tech support is helpless. Expensive.

Adelphia was the first cable company I worked with after moving out of my parent's home several years back. I initially hooked up standard cable and digital high-speed internet access. The term "high-speed" here is referring to the American concept of ...

Pros: Had helpful tech support a few times.
Cons: Ready to register Ihateadelphia.com

I have had Adelphia cable for a number of years and never had much of a problem when we lived in CT. Now that we are in Virginia, I am ready to move to get away from their clutches. We have DVR service, every so often the DVR box will "forget" how ...

Pros: There arent any "pros".
Cons: There are too many "cons" to list.

Comments: I have never been so disappointed and frustrated with a company in all my life as I am with Adelphia. Monday, August 21st, our cable went out along with the internet service. I thought it was just a temporary outage, but the next morning ...

Pros: You do get cable.
Cons: They will do ANYTHING to take your money except give you good service.

My brother ordered Adelphia Cable TV with the cable box and remote. The cable box is nice since it shows you what shows are on. Anyways, a few months ago, the cable box started to act flakey. A few channels would read "one moment please" and NEVER ...

Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Poor technicians, nonexistant customer service, reception? what reception?

Incompetent installation technicians. Extremely RUDE customer service personnel. Horrible reception. What's wrong with this picture?! EVERYTHING! On February 4th (approx. 9:30AM), I spoke with a customer service rep regarding adding premium ...

Pros: I can watch TV and surf the internet
Cons: Service is old, They do not listen to their customers, and bill incorrectly

Adelphia has gotten lucky that Cable is not deregulated or no one would use them. Where they go wrong: 1. They are always months behind other cable companies in updating their services and adding/changing their channel line-up. 2 years after other ...

Pros: provides all my favorite shows, automatic deductions
Cons: costs, customer service, unseen price increases

Adelphia cable has been my provider ever since I started living on my own. They are the local provider in my area, and I would guess I have used the company for roughly 3 years. I don't think that those three years have been entirely pleasant though, ...

Pros: Nothing
Cons: Everything

I moved into a home and the previous tenants had cable through Adelphia which is the only carrier in our area. i called to have the cable hooked up before I moved in hoping they could just change it over to my name, boy was I mistaken. First the told ...

Pros: High Speed Internet Service is great when it is working. Clarity of some digital channels.
Cons: Poor channel selection, robbing bandwidth from analog so Adelphia can add HD stations.

I have the misfortune of living in an area that is only serviced by Adelphia cable. In the past two years, I have had four substantial rate increases. Fortunately, I have a package that includes Adelphia High Speed Internet Access (great when it is ...

Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Price and quality of product.

I get the basic cable. My bill for 12 channels was less than $10 back in December. The during the first of the year, they "improved" our channel line-up and I now pay over $16 for 13 channels. Since this "upgrade" to our cable system, the pictures ...

Pros: Pretty good service Reliable internet
Cons: Overpriced and dont care! REFUSE to compete with Dish. "Advantage Packs" yeah right!

Adelphia charges entirely too much money for their entertainment. Their commercials blast the Dish and make false claims. They refuse to compete with the Dish and offer packages that have similar channels, and a similar pricing. You can get a plan from ...

Pros: Bills arrive on time.
Cons: POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Signal constantly dies. No responsibility taken for lack of service issues.

I was a three year Adelphia customer before switching to direct TV. Had I not been so casual about paying 50 bucks a month, I would have switched earlier. While I never subscribed to any movie channels, I did get the digital cable following the purchase ...

Pros: Fair internet speed, when it's working.
Cons: High price; frequent internet black-outs; poor treatment of customers; unethical advertising.

Here's the timeline of Adelphia's latest consumer scam: Early November: Adelphia announced it will be increasing its service fees across the board and automatically changing its customers services to fit into it's "new" product packages. These packages ...

Pros: Adelphia offers more channels and better picture quality in the Cleveland Ohio viewing area
Cons: The service is pretty expensive especially the bundled digital cable and cable modem service

Adelphia Powerlink Service has proved to be excellent in this viewing area. Previously, ATT had been ...

Pros: Nothing, really.
Cons: Price, channel selection, poor service

There really isn't much good to say about Adelphia's digital cable. After moving 20 miles south, I ...
