Do not do business with this company. They r moved and was told to take out boxes with us, turned out after speaking to another customer service agent, that was not the case. Had a date set for install after a week of waiting and the “local office” canceled it without confirming. Now, we are being told it will take another week to get someone out here to install cable boxes. Horrible customer services!
