Massive Packet Loss - Hop 2 - Unusable Internet - 2 Techs Already…read moreThursday, 9/18 at approx. 3:30 the internet went out and Xfinity Assistant said was area wide with restoration soon. Later reported resolved at 4:10, but we were still without internet. Neighbors were also out. We contacted Xfinity through the assistant and chat and went through about 2.5 hours of troubleshooting across 3 different contacts. We set an appointment for Sunday 9/21. First appointment the tech verified the signal past the pole serving us and neighbors was dead, so ran a temp line and scheduled the contracted company for burying in conduit. Internet was fine until Saturday, 9/27 when we experienced frequent disconnects and unusable internet once again. Went through all the cruddy Xfiinity Assistant stuff again and scheduled an appointment for this morning. Explained the issues and showed the PingPlotter data - he didn't even know what it was or how I 'could have any such data that shows information on their encrypted system'. I explained how it can help to identify network issues and how it helped identify a small neighborhood issue in our area about a year ago. He seemed unconvinced and said I was using an unknown, unreliable way to show info - but that's neither here nor there. A while after he left we started having the same issue from about 10:35 - 11:25 am. I had a Comcast Business email for the service at my business for an outage, so I assumed it could be related. After the restoration email from the Comcast Business, our home connection seemed stable the remainder of the day. When I started working this morning, the issue is worse than ever as shown here: I work from home in addition to my business location and this is severely impacting my ability to efficiently run my business. Seeking resolution without having to once again suffer through the terrible customer service / troubleshooting through the app, chat and phone.

Called, they said they do random checks and thought it was an error, turned it back on. Four months later, same thing, this year same thing, 4 months later same thing. This time after 2 hours they said we can only rent one from them, go buy our own and it would save us the rental fee, so he did, gave them the info to register it and they did. 7 weeks later they turned it off during my work hours. He had to go through trying to see the microscopic modem info. Another 2 hours and they tell us we have to PAY them to keep the modem registered!!! I hate these people, ready to switch to DSL.

Their "customer service" reps, so called, are complete idiots and do not listen well at all. I requested installation and the joker on the phone set it all up and even MAILED ME THE MODEM BEFORE DETERMINING WHETHER OR NOT THEY COULD ACTUALLY FULFILL MY SERVICE. I contacted these conning motherfuckers on 3 separate occasions to tell them to send me shipping labels to send their garbage back to them but they NEVER sent any labels even though their LYING CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS swore they mailed them to me. They're only tasking it that way so they can send billing notices to those who still have their modems after a month's time in hopes they can make money off people FOR PROVIDING ABSOLUTELY NO SERVICE WHATSOEVER. You're busted assholes. If you're looking for decent service at a competitive price, by any means, look elsewhere. These clowns haven't the first clue.

Service has been as advertised. 10mbs, always running at least 9.5 so it's good…read more Giving two stars because of billing practices. Yeah, I know, I know, phone companies and utilities in general are known for their shady billing practices. But I just thought I'd write for the record... The deal where you get 10mbps service for $34.95 per month for 12 months with a 12 month contract is false advertisement. It should read $34.95 per month for 10 months and $44.95 per month for 2. The reason for this is you are required to sign up for autopay to get the extra $10. But I could not sign up for it until a bill was generated. Once a bill is generated it already has billed for a month, and a prorated month. Then you're first bill will only have a one time $19.00 promotional discount, when it should be $19.00 per month. (two months), basically if I get what they promised, I should have received $60.00 off my first bill. Because the standard price for this package is $63.95 per month. They charged me for two months at $63.95 and only took of $19.00 total (on time). Then they tell you that even though you a paying for a prorated month, they do not take off the extra $10, even though I signed up for autopay the very night the bill was actually generated. I'll be watching my next months bill. He said it would be normal. I felt like if it's not it constitutes a clear breach of contract on their end (oh that's right, these contracts are made to protect THEM), but it doesn't matter any way. In Damascus VA, there is no other choice for high speed. Unless you want to go with Zito and pay $50 per month anyway for an average speed of 0.05mbps. Oh, and it took 1 hour and 25 minutes on the phone (mostly on hold) to score this extra $19.00 taken off my bill. When it should be have been $39.00 off the bill. So I got screwed out of a good amount of time and money.
