To give it 1 star would not be fair but the way i'm feeling right now I would love to assign a ZERO star rating. Below is the text I posted social media and sent to the office of Tom K
I OFFICIALLY "HATE" and am "DISAPPOINTED" with your service as well as your customer advocates!! Comcast/Xfinity Sucks and I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!!! If you are lucky enough to live in a area that has other good providers...make them your FIRST/PRIMARY/ONLY choice for Internet, Cable and/or Phone service. I have called 10 times today alone and now they have some sort of block that my calls wont go through unless I use a different phone!! The tech told me there was probably a glitch in the system. REALLY?! An intentional one in my opinion if not how do you account for me gaining access from another phone. AGAIN my message to everyone is "DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS COMPANY!!!"
10 attempts, 4 live people, 5 disconnects, 1 request to leave a callback # and still no response, 1 useless service tech to have the problem reappear today, January 14th alone!!!
Yesterday - January 13th, 7 attempts, 2 disconnects
2 days prior - January 12th, 1 attempt - prompt stated outage in area , Callback acknowledged "outage" was fixed. However my problem not resolved
Not to mention the barrage of prompts and wasted time!!!
My request is simple...please provide me with excellent service. I do not call unless there is a problem which can be verified by reviewing my account.
Problems:
Primary - Internet connections drops in and out. No Reliability! While using a device the signal can drop and then reconnect itself. Example 1: On the laptop, I may be reading or writing an email. When I go to send or retrieve another it tells me service is not available and you see will check in 30 seconds or 1 minute. Example 2: Again on laptop, while browsing the internet and clicking on a video, it buffers too long and may play choppy (play for a second, stop buffer, play another second or two, stop and buffer and so on) this continues until I either stop it and wait a minute or two to let it catch up or refresh. Example 3: While using my AppleTV, I am listening to musics and at any point it will stop and display "itunes is not currently available". If I click back and play again, sometimes it works and other times I have to do this a second or third time then the music plays for so long and I have to repeat the cycle. Example 4: very similar to ex 3, however this time using Hulu Plus, the show will stop and I have to go back , then play then resume where left off. Example 5, while using my cellphone to avoid data usage, Im attempting to go on FaceBook or even ABC news and the same buffering may occur when Im trying to watch a video or sometimes even connect. Earlier today I attempted to open up Gasbuddy and it couldn't connect. Despite all of this instances being in small burst these are not examples of a SOLID connection.
I requested new boxes and was told I needed to upgrade to X1 to get those. I then asked to just replace my boxes with the same kind and was told if the problem still exist it was a waste of time. After finally talking to the retention department who agreed to send me new boxes, I later agreed to the X1 upgrade. HOWEVER, similarly to the remark from the tech, Even if I get that upgrade that will NOT fix my problem. I just want my service to work without issue. I want to utilize the service for its intended purpose sans the aggravation and problems. Again I have another tech (I requested a different tech/supv) to come out tomorrow but felt compelled to write this email to express my disappointment and share that I posted the first paragraph to the xfinity FB page, Xfinity messages, my FB timeline and my twitter account. This is not good business. For a large conglomerate like yourself there should be better response time, less prompts and "system glitches", more reliability, less aggravation, better customer service. The only people equipped to assist me was your retention department and I'm sure they have been trained and coached to do just that. I should receive the same level of service at all levels. I have more to say and will share further details to a trained specialist that contacts me directly.
Bottom line: I would like to have reliable service and therefore I WANT MY PROBLEM RESOLVED!!! I would like to be REMOVED from the "do not accept call list AND would like a call back to discuss this further
Additionally I will be forwarding pictures of my call log to your FB page since the option is not available here as well as list my secondary concern
Secondary - My TV occasionally freezes whether ON Demand or regular channels. I don't have as many instances but enough report
Attached are the screenshots of my call logs from the last three days including when the system called me back to report services restored to my area and the Tech who called to "ask me what my issues were" to have me give a detailed read more
