I am giving one star because 0 stars is not allowed. Comcast is a HORRIBLE company. They have a virtual stranglehold on the area where I live. I have had CONcast (typo intentional) in my home since October, 2005. I have moved 1x. I had them in my biz from Apr, 2004, with 3 moves. Both services have been consistently poor, mostly with ISP and modem issues. In July, 2017, I closed my biz. Because of a contract they trapped me in (I wanted my biz internet to work, it did not, in order to get it to work, they forced me to agree to a 3 yr contract - for real), CONcast forced me to agree to move unwanted business services to my home, and get rid of my residential. You know those ads they have where they claim they work with your schedule? That is a lie. Right off the bat, they started playing games about scheduling the non-optional tech visit to my house, which I did not even want. How much tech knowledge do you need to unplug wires from one device and into another? I am certain that visit was ALL about $$$ (ripping me off with unnecessary procedures). Then they proceeded to refuse to work with my new job's schedule. They insisted I needed to allow 4 hours for the tech visit, all on days I had to work. They set up a cycle of promising to work with me, having me call to set up the special time, only to be told it was impossible. That game went on for 5 MONTHS, all whilst I paid over $300 a month for the redundant home/biz services. Finally I was able to rearrange my life to accomodate Comcast, the tech came 2 hrs late on the orders of Comcast - after they had told me no accommodation. He told me that the business equipment I had was inferior, I should just keep running my residential, and return the business stuff at my leisure. He said once he filed the paperwork, everything would be done. I have a witness to that interaction. His memory of events substantiates my own. I also journal things, and this is what my contemporaneous records show. I assumed it was all taken care of. THEIR worker said so. Flash forward to March. I get word I am allegedly in breach of contract for non-payment of my bill. Funny, they had been creeping around my account every month, taking over $200 a month for their garbage services. I called the person, he said he could not fix the issue, and dumped me on someone else. Many internal buck-passes later, I landed with some poor woman in residential. She thought if she turned off my residential services, that would fix it, so I said sure. It did not. I asked them to turn them back on and went back to the pointless phone calls. Flash forward to today. I got an email from a collections agency alleging I now owe CONcast $3,500.00 for breach of contract and early termination. Between March and today, I have repeatedly emailed them, called them, and been passed around uselessly as part of their f***ery. I just spent 2.5 HOURS being passed around to SIX people, repeating this tale over and over. They tried to claim that it's my responsibility THEIR employee told me it was "all taken care of" back in January. They tried to exact $3,500 from me, claiming I owe it. BULLSH**. They offered me a $150 credit towards that for their "part" in the problem. ??! THIS IS ALL THEM. My error was trusting them to be competent and slightly honest. One of their 6 agents said that this situation was "ridiculous," apologised, and said it was "not right." The next one tried to get me to give them $3,500. In the end, I am stuck with a business account I do not want (as mentioned above, their worthless non-functioning services led to this whole mess to begin with), terminated residential services, no cable (because not available to home business, and I am not GD paying $120/mo for their stupid basic cable services), a "credit" of $248 of the stolen $1,000 they have taken in the past 5 mos whilst playing these games... and a 2.5 hour recording of the entire conversation. I have them lying - repeatedly - on record. E.g. they asked where the business modem is. It is in my garage. I told them I had found it in there last night - three times I said that. Not 10 minutes later, the same guy mentions that I had said I returned the modem, even though he had previously *read* a note from my file indicating I had told the tech back in January that I did not know where it was (true at the time - somewhere in that garage). LIAR. Several of them repeatedly said they want to make this right for me. Really? Right would be you let me out of the f***ing BS contract you forced me into last year. If I could get any other ISP, even a slower one, I would. In 6 mos my home will be without internet, because that is better than having these CROOKS in my life. Avoid this company if you possibly can. They are HORRIBLE. This has been the worst customer ABUSE experience I have ever had, and I'm not a spring chicken, so they had some competition. They blew it out of the water. read more
