October 08, 2026 Terrible service. I called and asked them 3 payments in a row to change my account information so I could get notifications about my bill. they never did it, then my service would be disconnected because I wasn’t getting notified. and in return id get late fees that they wouldn’t drop. If you have other options, LEAVE TRUVISTA ALONE! not worth it.
