Jaffrey NH 03452 - Constant outages, tech came to assess and told me the lines are 30+ years old and it wasn't a problem with my house wiring or router- however they have charged $100s every time they come out. They put new lines in but if you want to be hooked up to them your bill goes up grossly. Their coverage and dependability is non-existant, the only positive thing I have to say is the last tech that come out 2 times said he wouldn't log being there because of their felonious charges. This conglomerate internet provider is a prime example of why HUGE corporations should NOT be able to monopolize, as of now the only provider you can get in the area is Consolidated and it SUCKS. I work from home often and find myself sitting in my Chevy using the truck's wifi- which I only pay $20 a month for and it is available and dependable EVERYWHERE. Customer Service is also absolutely horrendous. People need to start pushing back on these companies that control so much because it's only going to get worse and more expensive. WORST. COMPANY. EVER.

In West Haven VT 05743. On July 12 reported no dial tone. Not fixed! Its July 28 and still no dial tone. For about twenty years this has been caused by rain getting the wires wet. I am considering taking my phone number to a cellphone provider.

A portion of Nashua NH 03060 has been down since Sunday 4th around noon-time. Multiple people in my area are reporting no internet and multiple confusing phone calls with Consolidated. As of today, Tuesday July 6th, I read on a local town Facebook group that they have figured out the issue but have no ETA as to when things will be back up.

Penacook, NH 03303 I am DSL customer. I had good Internet service but I received 2 dead air calls at 11:26A, EST and 1:53P, EST in 6/16/21.There is no outage reported with neither the Internet nor the telephone. What could have contributed to two calls like that? Early in the morning there were no issues to receive or dial number, last call received at 8:49 A, EST.
