Request remove and refund Static IP8
I was senting a below email to consumer.appeals@att.com as instructed by an AT&T representative and got a message that 'Delivery has failed.' So I called a billing department yesterday (Monday 8/22/16) and I was on the phone for more than 2 hours!
I was asking for a credit and a future remove on the extra charged of Static IP8 addition $15 per month. As usual, nothing she could do. I insisted to know why AT&T charging extra without letting me know before I signed the contract. I told AT&T sale rep. upfront that this U-Verse is for a backup if Charter internet go down. I explained to her that I need to have this static IP8 in order for this fall back to work. She gone for some time and come back, said that she had remove the charge. I asked what happened, she said that she had a technician switch a static IP to dynamic IP! I said, I did not ask you nor authorize you to do that! This is causing a problem in my network and the fall back would not work, please put it back. She said no problem, but I have to wait for AT&T guy come to my house and reinstall another machine that would be in the next three days! Hopefully, I can get the same previous static IP ; otherwise, I will need to contact several technician to reconfigure my home network. After on the phone more than two hours, I still not get any answer and l get more issue!
I request to please give me a credit and do not charge me extra for static IP8 from now on.
I hope you can help me out, please advise.
Thanks.

Below is an email I sent to Conumer.appeals@att.com and got rejected

Dear AT&T Consumer Appeals Team,
I signed up a new account with AT&T at the Summit location in Birmingham (buddle) about two months ago. Previously I had Charter that providing, home phone, internet, and TV. I was experiencing an internet outage by Charter for 18 hours! I am working at home and I need internet up and running at all time, so look for a backup. I still have Charter internet.
Before I signed up with AT&T, I was telling a representative at AT&T why I want to have a second internet line. She said it would work, but she did not mention that I have to pay an extra for static IP 8.
I have a firewall call SonicWALL TZ 100, that both AT&T and Charter has to run through. It turn out that AT&T IP static is the same as Charter, so my husband called in to has it change to a different IP address; otherwise, when Charter go down, AT&T will go down, too, because both has the same IP address. I already pay for the internet service, why do I have to pay extra service charge for static IP 8. If I had known these information upfront, I would make a different decision all together.
I request to please remove static IP8 extra charge that already occurred and in the future from account number ***(statement attached).
Please call me directly at *** if need.
Thank you.
Ben
