Comcast damaged my electrical pipe on my property because they tied their comcast line to my property. I stopped by labor day weekend and noticed that my electric pipe had been ripped out off the wall. There was loose cables in my backyard and I could not even see where the line had connected in the alley. Had Comcast not connected their line to my pipe, it would still be attached to my building. That Tuesday I contacted Comcast to resolve the issue. The customer service agents were amazing and told me I should receive a couple within the next couple weeks. Unfortunately, that call never happened. The ticket was closed without any information on what happened. I proceeded to open two more ticket before I was told it should listed as a new connection but be a hazard repair which would only take three days to complete instead of two weeks. I still had not received a call from the people whom are responsible for making the repairs. Anna, Amy, Chantel, and Emily were all great 047361558 047418542 Er047483791 I was then told that it's not a hazard repair that it should be listed as a damage claim. I then waited another three days and spoke to a supervisor name Frank that promised to have the issue resolved and would called me directly if nothing happens. When I called back the following week, I found out there there was no ticket submitted for the repair. I then spoke to another supervisor name Jose that told me he find a way to place a service request so that it would not be listed as a new line. He promised he would talk to the repair crew to have the repairs made. I explained to him that the repair is only four screws that needed to be screwed back into my wall. Er047527705 Gregory Er077571246 Joseph When I followed back up I found that no new requests were made. I asked to speak to manager and then I was transferred to someone whom told me that they were Philippine or was in the Philippines. They would not let me speak to a manager, then hung up on me when they did not want to look up my Er service number. With Jose I thought that the will would be resolved, with Frank I could tell that he could careless. I then followed to place requests with Gregory and Joseph. Both said that the repairs would take less than an hour and will be completed. Joseph is looking into why not explanations were made as to why the tickets were closed, but I have yet to get a return call from anyone. In the pictures you can see that the bottom cable is the one that pulled the pipe out of the wall. The top of the pipe is still connected so you can tell that it was not anything that happened above it that cause it to come off. The repairs would be easy for a crew to do, there are four clamps with normal screws that can be drilled back in place. If Comcast had not attached their line to the pipe it would still be standing and I would not have to keep explaining the situation to 9 agents and 5 managers. Sincerely, Oscar Arroyo read more

Frustrated Customer: Comcast/Xfinity Needs Improvement I used Comcast/Xfinity (Xfinity from here on) for several years, but lately, their service has been disappointing. While it started well during the initial work-from-home surge in 2020, things have gone downhill. Price Increases and Service Discrepancies My initial bill for all services was $175. However, it inexplicably ballooned to $308.14 with fewer included services. I supposedly have the highest tier TV and streaming package, but several premium channels and specific packages are missing. Unreliable Internet and Limited Coverage Further frustrating is the unreliable internet service. Despite subscribing to the advertised "superfast internet 800 plan" with speeds of 800mbps, it barely functions. My purchase of three Xfinity Pods did little to improve the situation. The internet is slow and spotty at best, often throttled, mirroring the unreliable cellular service with weak 5G signals, even near towers. Forced Reliance on Alternative Solutions Because of these issues, I have to resort to using my work phone's hotspot for my work computer at home. This is far from ideal. Limited Options and the Hope for Improvement Unfortunately, leaving Xfinity is difficult. My family also works from home, and we require faster internet than what our current competitor, AT&T, offers. We're hopeful that Google Fiber will soon be available in our area. Starlink is also an option, though large trees in our yard pose a potential obstacle. Disappointing Customer Service Recently, I contacted Xfinity to discuss lowering my costs. After a frustrating wait of over a week to speak to a representative (appointments are now required due to fewer agents), I was told I was already on their "cheapest" plan. Considering the current service and overall value, this response was underwhelming. Breakdown of Costs and Recommendation Currently, I rent a router, two wireless cable boxes, and a wired cable box from Xfinity, for a total of $308.14 per month. This is on top of the supposedly "cheap" cellular service at an additional $63.56 monthly. Given the poor quality of services across the board, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your internet and cable needs. Xfinity should be a last resort, not your first choice. One Positive Outcome On a positive note, Xfinity's high prices did motivate me to cut the cord on cable TV. The frustration with their exorbitant pricing, unreliable services, and poor customer service ultimately led me to seek better value elsewhere. Conclusion: Avoid if Possible I would rate my experience with Xfinity a 0 out of 10. While they initially offered a good service, it has significantly declined. I advise potential customers to shop around and avoid Xfinity unless absolutely necessary. I wish I could've left zero stars. read more

ARGHHH! why can't we have more than two expensive options for Internet? I have the wonderful ability to work from home up to 2 days a week, but i have to have Internet and phone service. For the past month or so both have been intermittent at best (my line is buried; one TV, two laptops at most, one phone - no pets). I called, i went to the distribution office for a modem swap and was told they couldn't do that with a phone modem. Call customer service for a tech and was told they could have swapped out the modem (who's telling the truth?) He sets up an appointment for later that week. He stated, as they have the past month, area issues, but the TV always works and it doesn't always affect those around me....hmmmm area issues, right. Now, the tech that came was the best I've seen with any company. He did his job and more. He decided i needed a new line because he thought my neighbor may have nicked mine when they put in new dirt for a trampoline. he ran new line (to be buried of course at a later date) and set up a new modem. Even though his company supplied phone (Sprint) could not consistently get a signal he stuck with it until he got everything running. He set up the dig but it was on a day when i had surgery but he couldn't change the date. I go back again to distributing to turn in the temp modem they loaned me (which did not work either) and they said i had to called customer service to get the dig date changed. At this point both my neighbor and i realized the new line was wayyyy too long. There are huge loops on the pole where her kids play and the same where it attaches to my house. Since this is not flexible it sticks out and we're talking about an extra 5 to 10 feet at the pole and then my house. I call to get that fixed before they bury since a 3rd party buries and i know from past experience they won't fix this. After 2 hours, 3 calls nothing; absolutely nothing to address this issue. I have no doubt they will come out on 7/3 and say there's nothing they can do and call Comcast. This on the top of the fact that new customers get better deals than existing? and if you call about the new deal you're told well we can only offer you a 'deal' (which is not as good as the new customer BTW) once every 2 years. So Comcast, I'm now looking for other options and my Internet and phone are STILL sporadic....those area wide outages when the sun is brightly shining, right? read more

8771101310803289 Account number, I got a call from them offering me internet plus and hbo channels, and offered it to me for about $39, I said ok cool I will try it and trusted them, so the mailed me the tv box and tried to install it and it didn't work, I called them twice and they didn't fix it, third time the said they are going to send someone with a new tv box to see if the box I had was bad, the technician came out and fixed my tv and said the box they mail me wasn't working and changed with the one he brought with him and apologized he offered me to fix the wires without mention anything about any fees or charges, I appreciated his help and gave him $20tips, he apologized about the inconvenience and said he is going to take the defected box and make a note to comcast not to charge me anything since it's their mistake, the technician asked me to use my bathroom which was a little awkward and left, so the problem started when I got the first bill which was $131 and not $39 as I was promised, I called them and they said my package is $53 and not $39, and I was charged for the technician not like what he told me there is no charge, and the said the first box I had it missing and they are going to charge me monthly as long as I don't bring it back, but as I said the technician took the box with him, I keeped calling them every time they tell me different story and the don't wanna fix the problem, and some of the agent were very rude and very unprofessional, so I told the to go check my recorded call who sold me this terrible package that he said I have a month money back guaranteed if I don't like the service, so I said to the agent cancel everything I don't anything anymore my experience with you was awful and unpleasant and apply that term one month money back and take me back to my original package that was $19,99/month, they didn't honor their first promise and end up charging me $42,63, to sum up Comcast is a very misleading company you can see lack of communication within their departments, their not on same page and they don't keep their promises when they call first to make you sign for any deal, o was cheated and deceived, and they wasted too much of my time, if I could I will rate thema big 0 read more

Comcast Business Cl ass... If I could give them ZERO stars I would. I am on my 11th call trying to get a supervisor. I have been disconnected twice and am on hold again for the past 15 minutes. My business has been on perpetual contract with Comcast since January 2009. We have relocated offices twice, the most recent being June 1 2013. Last move they said we had to resign paperwork for the new location, which in essence extended the contract for two more years. On August 1 2014 we relocated again - and this is when the aggravation and massive customer service disconnect occurred. Every week, starting in late July we have called to try to discontinue our services. Each call ends the same way, "I will see what we can do". This morning we were transferred to SALES and he said just use Comcast Business at your home - sent a docu-sign email and BOOM a new contract for two more years! We said NO we are going virtual since our employees are based throughout the US and after 5 years we no longer need Comcast. So now, after 35 minutes, and another horrible customer service rep "Wayne" at 800/391.3000, who insists there are "no supervisors" on staff right now and that there is nothing he can do for me, has put me back on hold to speak with billing so I can pay the MAFIA off. New customer service rep at "billing department" says other than paying 75% "early termination fee" (how is 5 years early?) $1275 is what they want - but he can't accept payment until we speak with a customer retention agent (again!) (866) 925-9605 is the retention number I was just given (and now on hold for an estimated another 25 minutes). Oh so now on with "retention" and now we are being told can't cancel until they receive the drop service form. Once form is received THEN it takes effect in 60 days. Next call will be the Illinois Attorney General's Office. RUN don't walk away from Comcast! FYI - interesting article - seems as if a LOT of businesses having a problem with Comcast http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/29/media/comcast-customer-service/ read more

I never seen most sucking company like xfinity! It is very suckable service provider this xfinity comcast. Hey Guys check your bills !!! this xfinity billing department is adding unexplainable charges to your bill, even they couldn't explain it. Also when we switched to xfinity they told us you will get great service and talked to much bull s**t . When it came time to provide these services with no charge the began to charge me tons of dollars. Manager and Employee from billing department gave me hard time. After 15 times transfer My call have landed to billing department to Mr David and I began explain him AGAIN that i get huge additional amount on my bill why is that? can you explain it please? He tells me we charged you additionally for transfer of your service from one apartment to another. Help to movers service !!! There were 2 fees one for transfer service another fee is to make it work. Am I crazy or this is ridiculously stupid charge for one thing 2 times. He couldn't explain me anything about charges. this way he transferred me to his manager Mr Le Roy . I also told my sad story ))) and at the end same answer What can I do? There was a charge but I cant help with this . If you cant help customer what the fuck why you are sitting there as a manager. Your customer service lying to customers saying we don't charge and then boom here you go 100 dollar additional on your bill. I am done I am leaving these stupid company which promises one and deliveries NOTHING!!!! read more

I have been a telecom manager for fortune 200 companies for over 20 years and this is the very first time I have ever written a negative review. I don't have a problem with their service, what I do have a problem with is getting an invoice that is 15 days past it's bill date, sending out a payment, getting a disconnection letter 7 days after the due date saying that my invoice is 42 days late even though my service hasn't even been installed for that long. Being threatened to and lied to by collections department, getting a letter saying I have until 11/11/16 (20 days from today) for my payment to post then being told that my service will be disconnected tomorrow because I made a promise to pay of today. Which I didn't. The rep told me that the 11/11 day is when they will be coming to pick up the equipment, which is a lie. I told them my payment was sent 7 days ago, please note the account, but she said there is nothing they can do to prevent my service from being disconnected tomorrow, it's automated. So, being that my internet connection for a major healthcare facility is in the on some autopilot for disconnection 20 days before the letter states, I have no choice but to pay this on on my credit card, I have 30 accounts with this company, that will not be renewed and will be replaced with anything other than a company with this kind of business practices. Nor will I use Comcast for any new facilities. This makes At&t billing look efficient. read more

My experience with Xfinity has been nothing short of frustrating. The primary issue lies in their abysmal customer service, which has consistently fallen short of even basic expectations. Firstly, attempting to reach a human being through their customer service hotline is like navigating a labyrinth without a map. Endless automated menus lead you in circles, often ending in disconnections before ever speaking to a representative. When you do manage to connect, the representatives seem more interested in upselling additional services than addressing your current issues. It's infuriating to spend precious time explaining your problem, only to be met with irrelevant sales pitches. Moreover, their technicians have been unreliable. Scheduled appointments are frequently postponed without notice, leaving customers in limbo. When they do show up, they sometimes lack the expertise to resolve issues promptly, resulting in multiple visits and extended downtime. In conclusion, Xfinity's poor customer service reflects a company that prioritizes profits over customer satisfaction. Until they make significant improvements in how they treat their customers, I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for your internet and cable needs. read more

Longstanding and loyal customers can't get the same deals and treatment that new customers get. I can't go to an "internet only" plan even though new customers can. I'll be switching to a competitor. Pierre the chat guy has an attitude. He could use spell check too. I guess that's their idea of customer service. Your chat transcript Xfinity : Hi, I'm an Xfinity Advisor and I am here to help! What can I do for you today? You : I'm interested in an internet only plan. When I'm not signed into my account I see an offer for 100mbps for $35 after discounts for one year. When I sign in and go to change plan, it says there are no internet only plans available. What's the deal? Pierre : Good Morning. Pierre : Those plans your viewing before you signed in are for new customers just as you got when your were a new customer with us before You : I see. Your competitors offer internet only plans. So I have to cancel and go to them? Pierre : That's find just keep in mind it's a much different experiences no one comes close to how fast and reliable our Internet services is You : Well actually, you haven't been too reliable either for speeds. Thanks for your help, I now know what I need to do. Pierre : You got it read more

For about a year my parents Xfinity just 'sucks,' the phone and WiFi drops without notice. Their landline has more dropped calls than a mobile phone in a boat!!! Truly HORRIBLE. They have had repeated technician visits, all to No Avail, as the problem worsened, that is until Jeremy Johnson (tech 2897). Jeremy arrived and immediately diagnosed the issue, pointing to the wiring connectors. He then submitted what I believe was a follow up request, he also, gave a detailed explanation of the ongoing problem. However, when the next outside technician arrived, he refused to listen to the diagnosis and went on to tell my parents there was nothing wrong with the wiring, only moments after the follow up technician left, my parents landline and WiFi failed 'yet AGAIN.' I believe that pride on the part of the follow up technician, refusing to take the advice if a 'younger' tech!! So despite the Amazing diagnosis performed by Jeremy my parents service continues to SUCK!!! HELP!!!!! read more

Called in wanting to know about internet and get more information as soon as the phone was answered they asked me if I was interested in purchasing it and if not I could hang up because there was hundreds if not thousands of people waiting on the line not the greatest customer service I have ever dealt with of course if I was not interested in it I would not be calling them and then automatically you're calling for customer service because you want to know the pricing so obviously you want to stay on the line so they can give you more information. Kept repeating after telling me the prices that if I was not interested that he had to hang up or I that I could hang up just because there was hundreds and thousands of people waiting on the line. I do understand they are customer service but even though there is a hundred or even thousands or even a million people on the line you still shouldn't be rude because you're obviously calling for a damn reason read more

I spent over eight hours trying to simply get my service changed over from one address to another, that was it. This "journey" required at least eight phone calls, being hung up on multiple times when I was supposedly being placed on hold, and my service being shut off immediately rather than on the date I specified days in advance. After days of this nightmare, I finally get phone service with a DIFFERENT number that I was assigned three weeks ago, so now I have to call ALL my utilities and everything else to change the number YET AGAIN. What does Comcast do for me? They offer the few days for the phone service back (mere few dollars!) and treat me like an idiot, explaining to me multiple times that I cannot use my "old" phone number (the supposedly new number assigned to me). What am I offered? $20!!! Way to not take responsibility Comcast. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. Be sure I will be shopping for new service. read more

I I was looking for a change and signed up with XFINITY for internet provider, bought a modem for me not to pay 10$ modem charge,but the technition didnt use it and gave me the box where i thought its for free. i started with then 19$/per month ,they end up charging me 72$/month for last 5 month where i just use them for internet and they never inform they upgraded my service to 72$/month so i asked them to refund me back the last 5 month ,even as modem replacement ,there answer past is past,where i didnt ask for such a service and they have been charging me 72$/month for last 5 months. i use their internet for job search and the internet with 72$/month charge very slow,so i thought highly heavy demand on the internet ,so i tried to apply at the middle of the night but still low speed. where going public library is the solution ,where at the library cell phones not allowed. read more

I have twice tried to get internet for 2 homes. The first one, they had a scheduled appointment that I had to cancel. Unfortunately, no one told the technician. The second time I schedule, no one showed up. The most disturbing thing is that at this location, Xfinity is the only option I have. Looks like I will forgo internet service at this house. At the second house, I ordered the self install kit online. Hooked it up, no internet. Called them and they said they would send a technician to make sure outside line was connected. He showed up, told me he was waiting for activation and left. Hooked everything up and no internet. They sent a signal 3 times to my modem. NOTHING! I told them to cancel the service. That took 30 minutes. I'll pay twice as much and stay with Verizon. At least I get good service from them. NEVER EVER AGAIN. read more

Just got off the phone with Comcast. Offices are closed, so I was unable to get a hold of a human being to dispute my charge (which went up from 44.95 to 69.95) until a month later. On May 7, I was told that the excess would be credited back to my account and my new charges would be 45. On May 20, I was charged 69.95 again and was told it would not be credited back and I was also being charged for renting a modem (which I apparently started renting in March? I've owned my own modem for the last 2 or 3 years). Atile, customer service number 3601924, was very unhelpful, put in a ticket supposedly, but refused to acknowledge that I would get a credit back for the extra 24.95 that was charged to my account. If there is any way to go with another provider, I highly recommend anyone but comcast and I will be switching after this dispute. read more

Xfinity/Comcast is a criminal corporation. I'm not sure how much they have bribed the FCC to be able to be a monopoly, but they are. Because of that they treat their customers like garbage. I saw someone mention ATT as an option. Apparently they don't know that ATT broadband is owned by Comcast too? And Comcast has set it up so ATT offers top speeds of 6 mbps (might be able to check your email) for a ridiculous price, thereby eliminating them as an option. Comcast customer service is simply designed to run you in circles and waste your time until you give up and go away. The FCC should be investigated for whatever bribes they have obviously accepted to allow this. Comcast..... The perfect example of the corrupt corporation allowed to merge with and/or buy up the competition and become large enough to screw people and not care! read more
