I think most people already know about Comcast. So expensive. Not good reception, service depends on who you get. Just a money hog.

If you need a phone in a hurry... don't go to Xfinity. I ended up at the store in Chicago on Clarendon just to sign up for internet service because I saw an add online for $50/month. So he says it's $85 a month unless I bundle services, then it's $50 for both which seemed great but a little bazaar to me. I was planning to go from there to Verizon because my phone was on the fritz and I needed a new one right away. I'd been with Verizon for more than 30 years and was just planning to stay with them for the phone, but I couldn't pass up a deal like that, I'd be saving $60 a month! However, unlike other phone service providers you can't get a new phone the same day! It takes up to 48 hours to get approval!. In my case, I had forgotten that I had a freeze on my credit due to prior identity theft, so 2 days later, with great difficulty, due to no phone service, I was able to lift the freeze on all three reporting agencies. But they can't check your credit on the spot. You get a response within 48 hours from the time the freeze was lifted! Imagine working from home with 2 days of spotty service and 2 additional days of no service!... and no explanation for why! My credit score hovers around 800! And sorry if Noble Square is any better, but when I called Xfinity's customer service line to see if there was anything they could do to help, she said she could help me with that but starting quoting me different, much higher prices! And all I wanted was for her to call the store and tell them I was approved. I thought surely if I just went to a different store there might be someone who had more knowledge of the system then either the previous store or the customer service person on the phone. So I went to the store in Evanston hoping to speak to a manger, but it was the same thing. Snotty kids that are eager to make a sale, but have no idea how to work with customers. This process started on Monday. It's Friday and I still don't have a phone! After interactions with three different representatives of this company I can only conclude that their employees who have difficulty communicating how their plans work and are untrained in the art of customer service therefore the entire company sucks! When I told them that if I walked into Verizon or T-Mobile I would walk out of the store with a phone in my hand the same day. Get this! Their answer was "We're not T-Mobile or Verizon"!!!... In a snotty tone of course. I left in tears! Based on the low ratings I'm seeing on this site, maybe they could learn a lesson from both of those companies about superior customer service. read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! I was very disappointed with the service I received from Brisa R. She was unprofessional and demonstrated a distinct lack of care in addressing my concerns. She showed no interest in assisting me and was completely unhelpful. DO BETTER!!! read more

I came here to help my daughter to pay for her Internet early termination fee. For whatever reason, she cannot access her account online so I came here in person. They have a bigger parking lot, so it's easy to find and park. I went and talked to the receptionist guy at the door, he registered me, then say an agent will come to get me. I waited for about five minutes so I've been called. What I trying to do show me to the machine in the store. so you can actually pay the fees on the machine by yourself. I just don't understand why the receptionist do not tell me that. Anyway the service is great. Although my daughter is experience with them is not very good. That's why she changed her Internet provider from them to AT&T. read more

The sales/customer service agents here are SO SO SO BAD If you have the ability to drive somewhere else, I would. The agents here would literally just laugh at you for being mad for waiting for SO SO SO LONG. read more

I wish I could give zero stars. This company delivers quite possibly the most consistently horrible customer service I have ever experienced. So many employees have been rude, unhelpful, or incompetent. And the service is terrible. If you can sign up for any service other than Xfinity Comcast make sure you do it. You will regret it if you have to be their customer. read more

Forced to use Xfinity by the apartment building I lived in, now I live somewhere else and thankfully I can use a different provider. As I type this I have waited for 60 minutes just to drop their equipment off, apparently you have to wait for a representative to speak to you to do that. The lobby is packed. 3 people are being helped at a time but each person seems to need 30 minutes of help each. So happy to be done with Xfinity Comcast after this but good god are they keeping their claws in me as long as possible. If you're planning on coming in to just "easily" drop off your equipment, be sure to plan for at least an hour. Maybe two. Bring a snack and movie. read more

I have to say I have never seen a company screw up bills the way Xfinity can. They keep charging me for a phone. I never authorized and I've never used. They have on record my conversations with their "" Staff, but it doesn't matter. I need to check to see if I have a contract because I want out of Xfinity completely their service. The Internet sucks. I am paying for the most expensive level of Internet, and I have the slowest Internet in the building. Please use any other provider my best advice. read more

Xfinity is a terrible service. I did not have a good coverage in my house. But a main reason I left Xfinity is hidden prices and paid services. I always had a problems with my bills. 1 I bought the tablet because you said I had to pay only half of the price. But I paid more than the full price. I said that I need a tablet only for the internet but you added it for additional line. 2 you said if I connect 2 more lines I will receive GOOGLE PIXEL phone for free. But I was paying for it $25/month. I didn't know about that 3 when I buy something or connect something in the Xfinity center you don't explain nothing. You just say sign here, sign here, sign here and that is it. You see that I speak English not perfect and you try to take advantage of this. 4 you connected to my account NOW TV, without my permission. I never asked for this. You did not even send an equipment for NOW TV (tv box or something) , but you charged me for two months for this. You have caused me a lot of financial problems and health problems as well read more

Terrible service! Just awful!!! Had to wait for hours to get some assistance. Avoid as much as possible

Customer service is awful!!!! We had to wait in a long queue for them to entertain you.

I waited over an hour to just drop off a cable modem and pick up a Wi-Fi modem. It seems that lonely people come to the store to chat and the rest of us are waiting like idiots. I went up to the person that was checking us in n and ask if she could do the exchange and said no to wait until I get called. Missed part of my son's hockey game just sitting here. Seeing significant inefficiencies. read more

I don't know why the reviews were so bad for this place... I came in on a Monday afternoon and was out in less than 20 minutes. I was greeted at the door, and the rep (Stephanie) explained everything clearly. She also recommended that I go into the store instead of calling online. 10/10 read more

I had an appointment scheduled per their COVID requirement and I am still standing in line along with about half a dozen other people. The line keeps getting longer. It's not moving. I am just glad it's not raining. Since apparently everyone is arriving at the same time, my guess is that they schedule the appointments all at the same time and just let people wait. My advice is to get here early so you can be the first in line. What a poorly run shit show. read more

I have been having major issues with my cable box. After speaking with several Comcast Rep. I was finally told that I had to get a replacement cord at one of the XFINITY Stores. Thank Goodness that the hours fitted my schedule to pick up this cord. I know going to any XFINITY Store on a Saturday will be Crazy Busy. This location is easy to find with a bright red clear sign XFINITY on top of the building. It has a nice size parking lot to accommodate their customers. When I walked through the doors I was instantly greeted and waited on by a nice gentlemen. I told him what I was there for and handed him my cord. He smiled politely and told me that he had to walk to the back to get me a replacement cord. It didn't take long and he was back with a brand new cable cord. Very polite and friendly customer service. Unfortunately, when I got home and plugged the cord into the cable box. I'm still having the same issue with my Cable. It's sad that we spend so much money on cable service and it has poor equipment systems. read more

See all

ok have to post this review because it is so crazy. i went in to return equipment. i asked for the rest room while waiting. they pointed me outdoor. hmmmm i came back in and told them there wasn't a tearoom out the double door. they then said to go out double door and knock on next door over! what? no one there. asked a kid that worked there and his response was i just started here and don't know! what?? you still can't find the restroom. lmfao. you people need to get it together. . read more

Xfinity is now the worst service they have hidden charges and try and justify why they charge so much money as if they're giving you a discount and they're not Every since the pandemic they have up charged people so much to try and recover what they may have lost Im honestly looking for another cable and WiFi provider Im over Xfinity and all they're hidden mess read more

First of all, let me say this: not a fan of Xfinity in general. They have an unfair monopoly and way too much control of their industry. But there's very little I can do about that. That being said, I hate how bad Xfinity's customer service ON THE PHONE has become. Worse that worthless. I've wasted over 50 hours in the last couple years with their tech support. WORSE THAN EVER. HOWEVER: I must say that this location's Xfinity (and, admittedly, the ones in Niles and near Belmont and Ashland Avenues) are very good. The staff is personable and work well as a team. I recommend going to this location: near the highway, plenty of parking, very nice atmosphere. Many years ago I dreaded going to any location but I definitely feel differently now. I give a lot of credit to the training and selection of personnel. I feel welcome when I come there, and I get my equipment exchanges or other customer service done quickly and properly. read more

I had to bring in my cable box for in upgraded cable box. Theres plenty of parking in front. The staff was very welcoming and friendly as I walked through the door. It wasn't crowded so I was able to be helped right away. When I finally had a chance to plug in the box. They packed the wrong adapter for the box. read more

Always horrible customer service. Had to use them again for the first time in 10 yrs, just as bad as before. Couldn't connect ATT w my building: ( They charged me the first month for cable and phone, which I don't have or use. So 211$ for the first month, just for internet. What a joke. Called customer service to get it resolved they are cresting me $30 for the first month. Still outrageous. And making me call back tomorrow, for what will no doubt be another 30 min on the phone. read more

literally. The. Worst. Company I have EVER dealt with. I made the mistake of almost switching to Xfinity because RCN's way of thanking me for 5 years of being a loyal customer was to raise my bill 30% every year until it reached retail value...I shit you not. But, they did reach out and make it right. I booked new service through xfinity, and the robot (who was actually a human) but it was hard to tell the difference was awful to work with. I then cancelled my service before anything was hooked up, and it took them over a month to give me my money back. EVERYONE talks like a fricken robot, and can't I was on their automated system for 10 minutes solid trying to get this crack ass system to connect me to a human. I am completely baffled as to why and how they even have one customer. You don't need internet that bad, you'll regret it after dealing with these idiots after 5 seconds. read more

The internet service is great and cheaper than DSL which is the reason I switched. But the people that work for here, the dispatchers, The people that come install the internet are all unprofessional. They gave me 2 blocks of time to come and install it and didn't come. This company has horrible customer service and the only reason people still get this company is because there isn't much competition out there but if there was this company would be bankrupt with how unprofessional it is and how they don't take care of their mistakes. They credited me $20 for missing my appointment but that doesn't equal the amount of money I missed at work for leaving 2 times for 2 missed appointments.. so overall, decent rates and internet offers but HORRIBLE customer service! read more

Comcast in general...they lie just for a buck. So. Thought I'd join the GREAT deal at Xfinity Mobile. Was cheap. Catch? And I quote, "SIR, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE XFINITY MOBILE SERVICE IF YOU HAVE WIFI OR CABLE AT HOME". I need my phone for work. So, I had cable/WiFi for 8 months. I work part time, it was a lot to pay. BUT, as I heard on multiple occasions, NEED TO HAVE SERVICES AT HOME IF YOU WANT XFINITY MOBILE. Finally, had to just call it quits with cable. Guess what? IT WAS OK TO HAVE MY PHONE WITHOUT SERVICES AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! $#%%&@!!!!! Then, with just a phone, Xfinity told me since I don't have services at home and only have wireless service, I CAN'T UPGRADE MY PHONE OR MAKE ANY CHANGES. Makes me think I'm in 3rd grade and I'm being punished. KISS IT XFINITY. KISS IT REAL GOOD! I ALSO WAS TOLD I COULD PAY MY LEFTOVER CABLE BILL OVER 6 MONTHS. NOT TRUE. IT'S BEEN TWO AND I'M GETTING COLLECTION CALLS. As far as I'm concerned, they owe me money. That will never happen. Good news...I turned my iPhone X in at the Apple store for $500. Got another phone with Apple and took my business elsewhere. ATT, in fact. If you sign up for wireless with them, YOU GET FREE WIFI FOR LIFE. Hopefully no one lied to me at ATT. :) Just one more little thing: Apple won't touch a phone from Xfinity...not sure how that works since Xfinity sells Apple phones, but that's what the peeps at the Apple store told me. Also, Bestbuy can't hook you up with an Xfinity phone either. Maybe Xfinity treats Apple and BestBuy like children too. One more tidbit...they say they have mobile hotspots all over the city. True. BUT THEY ACTUALLY SLOW DOWN YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!! They are SLOWER than the 4G Cell service. J O K E ! read more

If I could give no stars I would. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! They are rude, inconsiderate, obnoxious liars. Getting a human on the phone is almost impossible. Two service calls and the problem is still not resolved, and then they tried to charge us $100 for EACH useless service call. Horrible, horrible, company. Good-bye Xfinity. read more

This review is for COMCAST and not the Comcast Store. We have cut the cord with Comcast Cable Service because they insisted their best price was $250 a month not including other fees. We have had your service for 10 years and you have had a monopoly of your services for most of the time. The company greed knows no bounds and now that you are not the only internet company available. We leave the price gauging behind. Goodbye. read more

Picked up a cable box - installed it @ home - did not connect - called Comcast - they said the girl that gave me the box DID NOT SCAN THE BARCODE on in on the new box so I needed to go back to the store & pick up a new box C'mon Man! read more

I wish I could give zero or negative stars. Absolutely terrible customer service. Always 1 or 2 people working. Ridiculously long waits. I waited for over an hour when all I had to do was return a router for an apartment I moved out of. While a ton of people are waiting one employees was trying to help a woman for at least 30 minutes because he kept getting the wrong item from the back and having to go try another, and another, and another. All while laughing and dilly dallying around. Inconsiderate and unknowledgeable employees have been part of my experience every time I've had to go here in Chicago. Good luck. Sucks that Xfinity is the only option. read more

Came in to return a box, and the wait was totally ridiculous, yet, representatives doing nothing.. Waited over 45 minutes to return a box

I stopped in yesterday at about 6 pm to return some extra equipment I had from my recent installation. My experience couldn't have been better. I was quickly greeted by a lovely associate at the front door and she checked me in and too the equipment off my hands. She said it would be just a moment and someone would be right with me. As I was waiting I noticed that the X1 romper for the waiting area TV had a minion "wrap" on it. Little did I know as I was gawking and geeking out over how cute the remote was the gentleman sitting next to me was an employee. He promptly got up and went to see if they had any more. Unfortunately, they did not. BUT they did have Cubs remote wraps left, these are really neat too! Just a few minutes later I was called over and was able to complete the return of my extra equipment in under 2 minutes and this associate even double checked my account to make sure I was no longer being charged for the equipment. On my way out I was wished a good evening by the employees. This was a great experience and the level of customer service I know Comcast is committed to and strives for! (ps: the inside of the location is also very nice! Bright and full of Comcast red) Thanks for the continued great service Comcast! read more

Horrible customer service impossible to get a phone number to someone in the actual store like I've talked to the IRS faster yes the dam IRS incredible I have not even hooked up my service and I am regretting this , like why do u need to send me a pin # to give me a number like Jesus just give me the # seriously thinking of canceling its not worth this much aggravation read more

This place deserves infinite negative stars. Not a single redeeming quality about the company. With cable service providers pretty much operating as a monopoly, I can understand why they do not put any emphasis on customer service. While they may have invested the money to clean it up and make the place look nice, it's just a stinking mess of horrible service, horrible products, and a major headache in waiting behind the facade. AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE. read more

I was there to pick up an extra box for my current service. I've had comcast for almost 10yrs and I rarely have problems and when I do they have taken care of them. For my last particular visit here as soon as you walked in there is someone taking your name and the reason for your visit so they can sign you in. I probably waited for 15/20 mins before they called me and the sales rep that helped me was very professional and quick. He did try to ask if I was happy with my channel lineup and all that but I was to the point. There were a lot of mean faces waiting around but I have no clue what their particular situation was. Its a plus they have their own parking lot and they are very accessible right off I90. read more

Talk about a renovation from slums to chic! They've totally made this spot a location to chill in for a bit while you conduct your business! Has the feel of going into an Apple Store now which is perfect to me. Nice job! read more

I was told a representative would be with me in a few minutes. An hour later I finally think I'm going to be called. Just be upfront with wait times or only do by appointments like an Apple store. I shouldn't have to wait an hour just to switch out equipment (that Comcast didn't notify me was old and could be upgraded for a less money a month). Great customer service philosophy! read more

BAD experience...I worked with the Comcast representative affiliated with my building management company (Kass) to set up Internet in my apartment. I moved in to the apartment on 3/28/2020 and picked up the cable box from the 1255 W North Ave Comcast store the same day. I was planning to set up the box myself but found it was impossible because there was no phone jack in my new apartment. I later learned that this apartment had been newly renovated, and they covered the phone jack in the renovation. Despite calling the Xfinity-Kass representative several times and being assured that I was on the schedule for a technician to come out, a technician never showed up. I needed them to run the lines outside of the building for my private WiFi network to be connected. This became very important during the pandemic because I was forced to work from home. Despite not receiving the high speed WiFi I had signed up for, Comcast continued billing my account. I made two minimum payments to keep my access to the Xfinity public WiFi network active, $29.49 on 5/19/20 and $57.55 on 6/26/20. My access to the public network was shut off again at the end of July. The minimum payment was now up to $117. I talked to corporate level customer service to resolve the issue. I explained the situation and that I was not going to pay $117 for a service I was not being provided. They ultimately told me they would send out a technician to set up the WiFi only AFTER I made the $117 payment. I asked to speak to a manager but was denied that as well. Ultimately, I refused to pay the $117. I was promised a technician would come out on multiple occasions by the Comcast-Kass representative and no one did. I was not going to exchange $117 for a promise that would not be kept. Currently, I am using my personal hotspot to connect to the Internet to do my job. This will only work for so long. And I am not going to continue making payments for erroneous charges based on mistakes made by the company. I expected more from Comcast. read more

I had a setup issue that I could not solve over the phone. I visited the store on North Avenue and was helped immediately by Ramon. He's pleasant and knowledgeable. read more

Comcast deservedly gets a lot of bad wrap. Their website is slow and poorly defined, their various options and tiers are deliberately confused. Their online chat from a call center in India is awful but if you want something sorted come here. It's brilliant. Crystal sorted everything for me with humor, knowledge and a smile. I had to wait 15 minutes, but that's fair, and it was worth the wait. She gave me deals, explained everything, didn't seem to be a corporate bot but a person who wanted and could help. She was well trained, well informed and just lovely. I left feeling great and with all my issues resolved. If you can go here and whatever time it takes is infinitely better that sitting in a line on the phone or wrestling with an appalling website. read more

This is just a review for all of Comcast. Shady business practices. Long hold times. Long lines. Terrible service. Telling you that there has been a refund, only to find out you have been lied to. Then you have to call back, be put on hold, and back to the worst customer service in the history of customer service. I will pay more for cable or internet than go back to Comcast. read more
