Beamspeed is the absolute worst broadband internet company there is in Yuma Arizona.

I could not believe the arrogance of the owner Carter Hendrick and the way they treat their customers.

We had nothing but trouble with Beam speed.  www.beamspeed.net The worst part was the people we had to deal with! 

I was a Beam speed Customer, and I got to the point that I had to ask Why am I paying them $59 a month when they sure don't care about the service they give! 

We would call for service when our system would go out.  (which was often)  The phone would ring off the hook with no answering machine, 20 rings no answer.  After trying this for a few times during the day we finally get a person on the line who says

 "  you called here?  I was here the whole time, you must have been dialing the wrong number"

Plus, when they installed it, they drilled 3 holes in our roof, Then, for some reason moved the dish, and did not fill the holes they drilled in the roof the first time! 

So, We have holes in the roof that I don't know about until the next time it rained!   so this caused damage to our place, and 3 other units in my complex!   This was horrible!  Not only did they not take responsibility for this damage, myself and the other tenants had to pay for the repairs.

After this, we really started to discover what Beamspeed Customer Service was all about.  

While we have had Beamspeed Broad Band Internet Service these last few years  (2000 to 2005) we have had nothing but Down time. and constant outages on a daily basis, but, when we called to ask about why our modem goes off line many times a day, they don't even seem to care! , below at the bottom of this statement you can see what kind of service we received from Beamspeed!  I have copied the entire email of this just one time we complained.   one of many!  each time the response was similar.  This email below is totally unedited except for my email address

One day Carter Hendrek owner of Beamspeed broadband internet service called us and accused us of running a game server!  When we did not even have a computer at the IP address he was claiming we were using!,  Plus, anytime after this phone call, when we reported any problems with their equipment they would not even come check it out.  Never,  Not once for the last 2 years would they come out when we pleaded with them to come replace the modem as they promised.

"We are not having problems"     "If you knew the internet better maybe you would not have these problems"  was the only answer we would get from Carter or his staff.

That's it!  That's the customer service you will get with Beamspeed  if your hardware goes out they will not even bother to look at it, and blame it on you, the paying customer.  I expect to have a tech come out and at least look at the system if the modem is not working.

I have had internet service through many companies over the years, and was customer service manager for a large computer firm,  and I have never seen customer service like this in my life.   Not only is this company irresponsible, they are flat out stealing from their customers by charging for services not provided!

Here is the last correspondence we had with BeamSpeed broad band internet service..

Just so you know the company : BeamSpeed LLC. BeamSpeed LLC - USA - Arizona. Headquartered in Yuma AZ ... MMDS/ITFS channels in numerous U.S. markets, and provides wireless ISP services under the brand BeamSpeed.net

So, I guess you dont provide customer service anymore by the tone of your emails Carter.
 
Do you run both of your business this way?
 
Your the worst customer service person I have heard of?  you would think the owner would have a little more common sense.
 
You sure do not give me the impression that you want our business anymore.

IF I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
HOW CAN I FIX SOMETHING THAT'S NO BROKE.
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE INTERNET IT IS NOT MY FAULT.
MAYBE MORE COMMON SENSE WOULD HELP YOU UNDERSTAND ME.

Well, how do you know my hardware is working properly  your modem has had problems before...
 
even if you are looking at it now and its working, does not mean its been working all day.. as it has not.
 
If this is the service I am paying for, then I am paying way too much.
 
You are supposed to have support, why don't you act like it.
You don't appear to know networks as much as you think you do or you would not have some of the problems you are having.
 
also, your customer service skills can use some work.
 
With all the money I have paid for your service so far, you don't give me much excuse to stay with you.  or say anything good to any of my customers about either company of yours.
