  Gateway Fiber contracted with a company to lay fibre in our neighborhood. This started probably around March or April if 2023. The company completely tore up the side of our yard along with multiple other areas of the yard. The side yard was poorly filled when the new sod as laid and our yard has now settled making it incredibly uneven, even appearing to sink. The corner of our yard has never had sod laid after being torn up so is completely bare! Along with that the company left a large rock in our yard that was not there to begin with and has not been removed. Finally in the front of our yard next to our walkway the company dug a hole but again failed to adequately fill the hole and placed the sod back over the hole. The hole is 4-5 inches deep and likely to cause a sprain or broken ankle should anyone step in it. This has been brought to the attention of the company numerous times over the last 4-5 months. Im fact a gentleman came to our door on August 8th to follow up and my wife physically walked out to show the areas that needed to be addressed. Nothing has ever been done. It is the companys responsibility to return our yard to its prior state and they have failed in every way to do so. I have numerous pictures but unable to attach as they are too large. Happy to send in another format if needed.

  Issues have been resolved to the satisfaction of the homeowner.

  Down the side of the house where we had placed sod originally had settled so we raised that area to grade and laid new sod.There was a rock left that we had dug out, we picked that rock up. There was a small section on the corner between the sidewalk and street that had gotten missed so we laid new sod there. Lastly there was a spot in the front yard that we had potholed for water and it settled so we raised that to grade and laid new sod.

  Gateway fiber is running their lines under ground. They dug up my front yard and my back yard. Put huge boxes in the ground, I wasn’t happy about that but there’s nothing I can do about that. But They refused to seed my front yard and backyard. That’s what I’m upset about. EVERYONE else in the neighborhood got theirs seeded with hay on top. I’ve got pictures of the entire street done except my front and back yard . I had to go out and spend $65.00 for grass seed and a special cover you put down on the ground to prevent the mud from draining from the rain because the dirt is on a hill. A lot of mud already ran down from our most recent rains. I have pictures of before and after I did the work myself. It sat there for over 3 weeks, just dirt. They said they would originally do it and they lied to me. I also have pictures of my entire neighborhood done except mine. I have the receipt from **** *****, it’s $64.58. You know that’s not much money but it’s the principal of it. Plus I spent 2 hours outside sweating my but off laying all this stuff down. I want my $64.58. And a written apology from the guy I originally talked to. I don’t remember his name, he was in charge of the entire project for our town. I guarantee he remembers me. Before any work was done they told the city of union all yards would look better after they completed the job then they did before they started. This has been a very stressful situation to go through and I definitely didn’t deserve this. I would appreciate your help. Thank you, ****. I tried to upload pictures but it says the file is too big and it won’t go through. The pictures tell the whole story. Maybe I can send it another way if you can tell me how. Thank you again.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to ********* ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

  Please mark ********* number ******** CLOSED TO CUSTOMERS SATISFACTION.

  After a week of trying to get ahold of Gateway Fiber, I finally got an answer back and a response to my *********. This morning.

  Gateway Fiber removed the current incorrect monthly 95 dollar charge and issued a credit for same. They also issued a 100 percent monthly credit for both the  monthly service and one additional month per discussions in June regarding incorrect billing since opening the account.

   

  As of now, all is correct.

   

  Please pass on my gratitude to your team at BBB as well as my thanks to Gateway for addressing this.

   

  You all do a great job and ******** is lucky to have you all.

  The installation manager spoke with customers and have resolved the restoration issue as well as installed the service requested. We believe the issue has been fully resolved to their satisfaction.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Four separate people have told me they would fix it then nobody follows up and not motion on that aspect.  There are other issues that have been going on with gateway on the news that still haven’t been repaired after two years so it is empty words still. As far as the easement violation is concerned, they did not go beyond it for any of the reasons listed that were allowed so it is a violation. I will not be satisfied until they actually have completed work in replacement of their damage. Gateway claims they care and take complaints seriously, but I couldn’t get a response after they found out what they did until I made a bbb complaint. And the response is all the same that they have to talk to the contractor. Then talk to them and get it done. It’s pretty simple. 
  
  
  
  
  
  Sincerely,
  
  
  
  ******** ********all her back. I did not hear and called her. She acted surprised and said she would call him and then call me back. I have not heard from ***** or anyone else since. I have called daily, and left voicemails but it has now been over a week since I have heard from anyone.

  Gateway Fiber takes these complaints seriously and has a ticketing system in place to track & address each and every complaint.  There seems to be two issues raised in this complaint to the BBB.  The first is the damage to the driveway and the second is working outside of the easement.  

  With respect to the construction damage, one of our Gateway Fiber reps has been in contact with the homeowner and the contractor who completed the work on Gateway's behalf to investigate the issue.  It has been determined that the contractor did damage the driveway and will be responsible for replacing it.  This has been communicated to the homeowner and the contractor is in the process of organizing/scheduling the repair.  

  With respect to working outside the easement, the recorded plat for ***** ******* **** ****** where this residence is located provides "the right of temporary use of adjacent ground not occupied by improvements for the excavation of and storage of materials during installation, repair, or replacement..."  The contractor working for Gateway was working within their rights as outlined in the plat.
