The problem is I found out in all my digging that no one was watching them, they are not regulated so they could do whatever they want and there's no one high above that's regulating this company. They're monopoly, Nobody's regulating them. I went to the telephone main office in here and I was told, \"They're not regulated. We can't do anything\". When the installer comes, they install your new service you think it was Bright House installing and it's not, it's another contractor and people aren't aware of that. The only damages to that were done to me was the installer knocked off the back up drive and he said, \"Do you back up online? and I said \"No\", then he said, \"Oh well\" and messed up the monitor, scratch it all up and then upstairs I have an antique bedroom seat that was my mother and father's first one they bought when they were married and I said, \"Don't seat that convertible box on that dresser\" and he said, \"You said not to?\" and I said, \"Yes\" and he slammed it down on the dresser and scarred the dresser. The subcontractors office was brought in and the guy there came in, he treated me like I was on trial and he made me go outside to identify the guy and he basically said, \"Well, sometimes they favor each other. I just want to make sure it's right one\" and I said, \"What are you saying?\" and he had a cup full of them and on I said, \"You're telling me you're fixing to fire this guys. It's my fault and you want me to identify in front of my house?\" He did get fired and Bright House did give me $200 for my dresser and the contractors did eventually after the fighting do the pay for the back up drive but the other thing happened was the computer I had gotten had told me to make sure that the guy that wrote the installation order I had it set up to make sure they network it because if you don't they said, they won't do it, they don't like it so I said, it was your job because I was paying for a high package and it's network so I said \"Make sure you're set and ready to go, don't leave here without setting it up don't load up and go that's your job being paid for\" so I had everything set up and the installer would't do it, he left out. I didn't know that he had plugged the boxing in to the wall board. When the other came out the next because nothing was working, he swapped out and said he gave us the wrong type of box and then when they came back again because nothing was working again, everything was just all messed up, that guy didn't have time to fool with it and all he had to do is to the box out everything. Two days later, my box is still hasn't hooked up and we had a thunderstorm and the box fried and when it fried, it ran my internet port into my computer which is hooked into my network into my configuration board. It fried the entire computer, ran into the monitor and fried a 22 inch monitor, this was a $1500 system. It was their responsibility to replace it because they did not put it wireless, if they put it in wireless with no cord in it, it wouldn't fried. They told me, \"Well, it was an act of God the box fried\" and I said, \"I agree that is an act of God. Plugging the box into the wall of the service provider is an act of stupidity.\" and they did not set up my computer wireless and I am begging someone to come out here and do, an act of negligence."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/al/birmingham/bright-house-networks-reviews-5603386.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"SERVPRO","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"AL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Cheryl B."},"reviewBody":"I had a pipe burst in my ceiling on Tues. 01/07/14 and it ran for 10 to 12hrs b4 I got home from work and my kitchen ceiling was lying on the floor. I called them the next morning and they said they couldn't come until Saturday the 11th. Water had run through the ceilings of every room, down every wall and on every floor. They never opened up one wall in my kitchen so I knotted a hole in the wall directly under where the water was coming down and it was growing MOLD! They never finished taking down the ceilings, removing the base boards or removing the insulation from the ceilings. They also were billing me for spraying antibacterial solution on the floors and walls but that to wasn't completely done. Two of the ceiling fans that they removed while taking down the ceiling, were CUT down leaving only 1 1/2 inches of wire. They told me that they would take care of getting me some new ones since these couldn't be put back up with no wires long enough to install them. Then I was told that the insurance company could pay for it. When I received their bill, I went through and marked everything that they hadn't done and they sent one of the Boss' out to go over everything with me. He said he would rework the bill and get back to me. He did alright, and instead of taking off what I told him they never did, he ADDED $2000.00 more dollars to and already over priced bill, therefore making my bill over $8000.00 for work that wasn't completed. They have taken advantage of the people in this city just because they could and their were so many calls during that first freeze, that Servpro had to call in out of state help as did the insurance companies. I'm still not back in my house after 3mos. I have lodged a complaint with my insurance company and will send one to the Better Business Bureau also. They made me wait 4 days with my furniture still wet from 6 inches of water (mostly antiques) and then charged me a weekend call out fee even though it wasn't my fault they couldn't come b4 that saturday. I'm sure they are enjoying all that wind fall of money they made from the freeze. I'm still not back in my house yet. By the way it wasn't just me that saw that the work wasn't done. I had a friend there helping me pack some things and she works for a local attorney and she couldn't believe they billed me either. My neighbor, who did some of the clean up that servipro didn't do, also was there.

And then when I insisted it didn't look right, went to the back and gave me the right one. Didn't perform the engraving on the inside. I also had a small square diamond replaced on the wedding band and it looked terrible. Didn't match in brilliance at all. There were huge gashes made in the side of the band from where they placed the new diamond and he didn't even attempt to fix them. I was disappointed. I went to another shop to repair the damage.

"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."
