    Comcast should be held to provide quality services to their customers but they don't care about their customers. Their service is poor, you're paying for outdated movies and slow internet connection even when you upgrade you still get lousy programs. I was paying over $200.00 a month and getting movies that have been on basic channels for years. I dropped down to a lower plan and it's still the same movies and slow internet service.

    Comcast hires inexperienced overseas representatives. Every time I call to answer a question or problems they don't understand, and do not speak good English. Have to call several times to get my problem taken care of. I then figure it out for myself. Their rates are very high, thinking about cutting it down. The representatives do not fully explain charges, when we call for a service call charge me 60.00 and did not specify there was a charged. 2 phone calls later and 3 hours of my time they finally removed it.

    I have had Comcast for over 24 years and it keeps going up and up. The value I receive is no different than when I paid $120.00 a month compared to the $165.00 I am paying now. I was offered a deal of $130.00 a month in December and I took it only to be told in February I had the deal which is the $165.00. If I didn't have a 95 yr old mother and a 79 yr old husband with dementia I would cancel the phone and the boxes.

    Ever since the beginning with Comcast they messed up our installation. Didn't bring the right amount of equipment and when they had to come back they charged us for a tech fee when it was their fault that they didn't bring the right equipment. Also my girlfriend took off of work when they were supposed to show up for an appointment and they never showed and also I did the same thing and they never showed. Then the bill just kept getting higher and higher and we canceled and now they still can't get the bill rate they charge us way more and they're supposed to and we don't even understand all the charges. I will never get Comcast Xfinity ever again. I don't know how that smart business to make your customers angry and upset with you to the point that they don't ever want to come back.

    I am writing this review after paying my $455 Comcast bill today. I called Comcast at least 10 times trying to get to bottom of my big bill -- every time I talked to someone I got a different explanation. I even went into a store and spoke to 2 different reps in a 15 minute period and I got 2 different balances and explanations about the balance amounts. I asked that they send me an itemized bill, I got a bill that said pay $455 -- that's it! I even spoke to a manager named Candace who promised to check into my bill and call me back in 3 days at 1:30pm -- it NEVER happened.

    Obviously, when those that lead fail at their jobs, the underlings follow! My last bill with them was August 14th, I was sent to collections September 2nd! Wow! I've never dealt with a company like this!!! I had no choice but to pay $455... Comcast is a Terrorist Organization! They even stalked my home in a gated community to get their equipment back... It had already been returned!!! DON'T EVER USE COMCAST -- CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT EXIST!!!

    On 5/23/2017, I signed up for internet service with Comcast. I paid a $50 deposit to forgo a credit check, as I did not want the inquiry reflected on my report. Due to the extremely subpar quality of service, I elected to cancel service one week later, 5/30/2017. My account was officially closed on 6/13/2017 at the end of the billing cycle. This all falls within Comcast's own 30 day money back guarantee, as I have been repeatedly told by numerous Reps of their organization, and that I will be receiving the $50 deposit I paid in the form of a check in 5-6 weeks, via US Mail. All Comcast equipment has been returned to them.

    Fast forward to the beginning of August. No check has been received, so I call Comcast at their 800 number and speak with a Rep. This Rep claims that they don't understand why I have not received my refund, but will submit it again and I will receive a check in 5-6 weeks. Here we are now in the latter half of September, and no check has been received. I have contacted Comcast twice over the past two days about this. The first Rep on the telephone claimed I was owed no money, and that it was payment for services. When I reminded her about her own company's 30 day money back guarantee, she "spoke" with her supervisor who determined I was indeed correct and that they were crediting the account now so the system will cut me a check and mail it to me, in 3-4 weeks. She claimed that my call was the last call I would need to make about this.

    Now today. Being skeptical based on this entire experience, I contact Comcast again via their online chat, speaking with a Rep named "Jai", who informed me that no action had actually been taken, and that he was escalating it to the proper team for resolution. To say I find this appalling is an understatement. This company is holding on to my $50 refund for who knows what reason, and I strongly feel it is time for some help from an outside agency. I've filed a complaint with my state, and am also leaving appropriate reviews reflecting this experience.

    Customer Service with Comcast/Xfinity was excellent up until a few weeks ago when I called in to cancel my account. I was told to cancel on September 16, 2017 to not to have to pay next month's bill because the billing starts on the 17th of each month. She said my account was cancelled and transferred me to the loyalty department so I could find out what to do with my modem. I returned my modem on September 16. I received a bill today and called and spoke with someone in the cancellation department named "Shay" (I will be surprised if this is her real name). When I tried to explain the cancellation situation, she kept talking over me, was rude, and said I would have to pay a termination fee.

    I told her I was not told this when I called in last time, that I would not be paying a termination fee. I also asked her to stop (talking over me), and she said something to the effect of, "Well, I'm the one talking." I finally told her that I wanted to speak with her supervisor and she said, "Sure, I'll transfer you now." In reality, all she did was put me on hold with music and did not even try to contact her supervisor. I spoke with a very nice person after that who tried to get me to a supervisor but said they were not available. I can accept that, but I cannot accept the rudeness of this Shay person.

    They claim they quoted you a rate for 24 month and jack your rate up 100%. Can prove you agreed to it, can't produce any documents. This is fraud at best. I have extremely unreliable service. I have to use them because of our condominium association selected them. However the citizens are taking action before the city council to get them thrown out of Park Ridge. They are horrible and deceitful in their business and sales practices. Don't waste complaining - they don't care. And strange with TONS of complaints with the BBB - mysteriously BBB gives them an A. BBB is losing credibility. I have wasted over 40 hours trying to get this resolved - impossible to deal with irrational employees. I did leave a complaint on their website but again they don't care. It's a monopoly on the service. We have no cable competitor - we have satellite but that is not a competitor for internet access.

    Comcast TV is beyond reprehensible in its delivery of services. It's your worst nightmare. The channels they provide us with are probably negotiated. As such we have no adequate selection. Any merited channels are routinely dropped. Outsourced customer support offers no support, only aggravation. Since customer support is dominated by the ill-informed and the apathetic. They are devious - friendly - while they put you on indefinite hold to seek advice from a non-technical "technician". A hold is nothing short of a hang up. Upgrades are thinly disguised downgrades. Unless you enjoy a lit up remote. Now that's an upgrade!

    Delivery is non delivery; there's no guarantee you can watch anything in its entirety without something going wrong. Even their automated survey doesn't function. Their free movies? Have you ever witnessed such crap in your life time? There is one guarantee: The perpetuation of outrageous fees for services not rendered. Avoid them like the plague. Perhaps that will result in their demise. Comcast has us by the throat. We're in a stranglehold, choking on greed.

    ABSOLUTELY the WORST customer service I have ever received. Used their customer portal to set up our move. Selected a date, and install window, and confirmed. Installer never showed. Tried to login to the portal, "page cannot be found". Called Comcast, was transferred four times... Spoke to all four agents in detail about our issue. At no time did ANYONE apologize. It's also important to note that each time I was transferred I had to revalidate my account information. Last transfer was to the "movers" department. This rep was cocky and rude. I was frustrated and shared that with him. He called me hostile... Must be a catchword they use to protect themselves. Then he indicated he could not speak to me any further, because the account was in husband's name and wasn't going to lose his job over my dissatisfaction.

    Had to get my husband on speakerphone. I repeated that I had set up the appointment online... I shared all of the key details in my confirmation. His response: He doesn't know what the online form says (suggesting I could be making the whole thing or he could care less). He agreed to light up our account at the new house and we are now trying to complete the install ourselves. Clearly Comcast's claim "Your time is valuable, we don't want to waste it" is just that... a claim.

    Comcast is best known for its over-priced, intermittent services, its blatantly false advertising and it despicable customer care (wow, thanks Comcast for that whopping $20 credit to reimburse me for losing an entire day of work waiting for a tech who never showed). Its reputation as being the worst company on the planet is well deserved. I am here to tell you that Comcast continues its reign as the worst company bar none, evidence of which was on full display during Hurricane Irma.

    Of the critical services on which we all depend, Comcast’s was the first to be disrupted and the last to be restored. To add injury to insult, of these vital services (power, communications and internet/TV), Comcast was the only one that continued to charge even though it was down. Comcast gets its money regardless if it actually provides you anything. Why anyone buys their headaches when they have other choices is beyond my comprehension. I, for one, had little choice because where I live, satellite is not an option. However, even though I love where I live, I am relocating just so I can get away from Comcast! Thanks, Comcast. Thanks for nothing!!!

    I switched from Dish Network because our service was unreliable. Well Comcast is just as unreliable!! Their equipment is constantly malfunctioning, their service is crap, their customer service is non-existent... just a disaster. Oh and they change your bill constantly without any notice or explanation. Call 1 (immediately after install) the DVR doesn't record 5 things like advertised. Well after 4 reps and 3 hours on the phone turns out tech installed wrong boxes. So I have to wait for the same idiot to come to bring me new boxes. I make sure everything works.

    Day 15 - service keeps freezing... pixelating on the screen, well the channels it will go to for some reason half my channels are gone. Call India again... explain everything at least 3 times because they never know what you are talking about. Box needed some patch download that it should have done on its own. Girl said it was fixed. 3 days later same issue. I call say apparently my patch needs download again because it's not working... this lady says it's something else and does whatever. About a month in at this point I guess, my bill is higher. Call they give you some bs fee that wasn't there before because my rate was supposedly locked in for 1 year.

    Now at about month 3 my cable signal pixelating again, my bill has rose for the 2nd time and none of these morons can give you a reason as to why. I am now paying more than I was with DISH and have just as crappy service. Called again about it. Was told I would have to pay for the technician if I wanted one. Lol yeah for something that's been broken I'm really gonna give you more money. I am just going to eat the cancellation fee. I can't watch TV anyway so why pay for it. The fee is only equal to about 2.5 months I'll save that in stress alone and the TV don't work anyway. Why should they get another 6-8 months of pay? Exactly they shouldn't.

    I have two Xfinity accounts. One at our primary residence and one at a secondary residence. We changed our primary residence and moved the service with us maintaining two services. When I paid my bills, however, the money was still going into my dead account. Our services were disconnected due to lack of payment even though I was paying my bills. I spoke with customer service for over two hours to address the issue. They informed me that I had a $459.24 balance on the dead account that needed to be transferred to the new account. They put the paperwork in for the and created a ticket and reactivated my account. Two weeks later, the account was disconnected again due to lack of payment. I had to call Comcast back and discuss the ticket with them. They could not find the ticket but did find the additional balance that needed transferred and created another ticket.

    They told me that it would be taken care of in 3 days. A week later, again disconnected. I had to call back again. Spoke to another customer service person who also found the balance owed and reconnected my services. I asked to speak with a manger and they informed me that a manager would call me within 24 hours. Never did, again disconnected. I had to call again, spoke to another person, also found the balance owed. I asked to speak to a manager and was asked to hold while I was transferred. I waiting for one hour and no one picked up. The total time on the phone now is around six hours. My service was off for several weeks due to other activities taking my time. I created a chat with a Comcast agent today, 9/14, and was informed that the balance was not visible on my account any longer and that I owed the full amount due.

    Interesting how this can change when the 5th person review the account. Also, I was asked to do a review after two or three of the calls which I gladly accepted. However, I was either disconnected before I could take the review from the phone calls or the review would not load from the chat session so no bad reviews could be established. What a f'in joke of a company this is and how unethical. Stealing money from the customers. Also, they sent my account to collections due to lack of payment. Are you kidding me. You stole my $459 and now you want to collect the full amount through a collection agency even though you won't return any calls, follow through with any investigation, and speak with me about the many issues for the past three months??? WTF people. Can anyone say class action???

    Bought a new home in 2013 and wanted cable service. Comcast wasn't available (it was a brand new home that has just been built) so I decided to wait. My neighbor down the street went with a satellite company. They sent out their installer who told him there were no cable hook ups in the house and he had have an electrician come out and drill holes in the attic and install hook ups in each room. Cost him hundreds of dollars.

    About a month later Comcast was available so I called and made an appointment for installation. The technician looked at my system and said "I'll convert these phone lines to TV, no problem, no charge." He obviously knew what he was doing. Bundled my TV, phone and internet service. Later on I added Xfinity home security. Have had a few technical problems over 4 years but they always get fixed promptly and correctly. Will bundle my cell phone with their new service when my current phone is paid for. I love this company. Every year my internet gets faster, and customer service is great.

    Since moving into my new home a month ago and switching to Comcast, our cable service goes out several times a week consistently. We are continuously having to reboot our system on a frequent basis. The Comcast Xfinity service is expensive and unreliable. The customer service is horrible and usually takes multiple calls to get anything resolved. Comcast is known for its horrible services, I am now finding out, and I'm surprised that something has not been done to correct their bad reputation. It doesn't help that there are not many options for consumers and that they have practically monopolized the industry here in South Florida.

After getting irritated and asking for an explanation as to why I would need to go into the service center I was put on hold and told that I now need to speak to Sales, but put on hold again, then 'Oh sorry, there's no one available.'

    Called again the next day and got a completely different reason for why my service was deactivated, but that it would take 4-8 weeks to get the service back to my unit. Called a third time and was put on hold and transferred 4 times, re-explaining my issue each time. By the time I got to the fourth person you can imagine I'm beyond my boiling point and the employee becomes condescending. It's been over a week now and I'm still without service.

    I called Comcast Xfinity to get a quote for internet and TV for home this week. A quote by email was requested. A quote is not an order for new service but try telling that to Comcast! Customer quotes are not binding with Comcast. A quote is an estimate of costs for said services for order requirements requested. Comcast Xfinity has a 3rd party call center waiting in India when I ring them. On the first day I call Comcast, Ryan from India says my quote does not qualify for any deals they have right now and Ryan is unable to email me his estimate. On the second day I call Comcast again to try again to get an email estimate and qualify for the deals they have for new customers. This time, I get another person from India who takes my order and tells me my estimate will be emailed in the form of new order. I agree to the order after getting a cost estimate amount that we will be paying each month at 12 noon.

    By one hour later I have gotten 3 phone calls from Comcast. When I call back; I am advised that the Comcast calls will stop as there are "training issues" with Comcast. Six hours later, I see 3 more missed calls from Comcast and I am at dinner and I pick up the call from Comcast and it’s the rep I spoke with at 12 noon who took my order. I am told there is an issue with my order as I ordered 2 DVRs and only 1 DVR shipped. “Why am I being punished,” I ask? The rep does not fix this but instead requests I hold for a new desk for 10 minutes. This rep is yet another rep from the India call center who offers to cancel my order for me and verbally confirms my order is cancelled. Three hours on the phone today, I get no cancellation email. The next day or 24 hours later there is a Comcast box on my porch and still no cancellation email.

    Two days or 48 hours later from the time I made my first call to get a quote, I am told by Comcast that I can't get a cancellation email. I am also told by Comcast that they will not pick up the box they sent to me by mistake via UPS. How do I prevent Comcast from charging me for new services when all I see is their order confirmation email? With a lifetime of great customer experiences, this is by far the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I regret ever having called and moving forward with the Comcast order. To get the quote/order, I was having to agree to a credit check, had my voice recorded that I agreed, my SS# shared and fear my identity may be stolen - just for wanting a better Comcast deal in writing. We had been Comcast customers in 2015 and loyalty isn't good for business and new or returning Comcast customers beware!

    My family has used Comcast service for about 9 years now thus do qualify as royal customers given that there are other options in the area now. I have been using automatic billing where the monthly bill is charged to my account each month on a set date, late last month I noticed that my bill had hiked from $132 to $161 with no notice, I thus cancelled the automatic billing so I can get an explanation as to why the hike.

    This evening I called Comcast and explained my problem to 4 agents over and over as I was transferred from call center to call center, 1st agent said they needed to get me to an agent in my zip code, 2nd agent had to transfer me to customer service at the time also informed me that my next bill would go higher to $193/month starting next month, 3rd agent transferred me to the royal customers program where they apparently "have more access and authority to give better deals". 4th agent was an innocent Lady who I actually apologized to after expressing my frustration to her, she was the maintenance and support department.

    So my problem was none of this agents had matching information as to why my bill was higher. When I asked 2 of the agents about signing up for a new bundle I was told I have the cheapest and best bundle, which I seriously doubt because when I check the inmyarea.com website Comcast has cheaper rates at same if not better service than I am getting. So Comcast does not have time or patience to listen to their customers but they are going to raise your residential cable service from $132 to $193 with no notice and no time to explain why. I feel that this company has grown too large to manage its clientele, other service providers in this area need to increase their publicity to increase competition for Comcast maybe then a customer will come first.

    Complaint about Comcast. We have had Comcast for many years and have always paid our bill on time. The bill keeps going up and up. Last month when I went to pay my bill it was almost $50.00 more. I called and they told me that my plan had expired. And I had to have a new plan or pay the higher price. (This is the way they force you into agreeing to a long time plan and if you leave before they will hit your credit report for it.) I told the girl that I don’t do the move channels, sport channels, r rated channels, or Spanish channels, I don’t need phone service or security. I just wanted basic tv and I want the internet. I was told that I had to stick with a package deal in order to get a good price (I could not just get basic tv and internet) and that I had to go with a 2 year contract. I said I don’t want a 2 year contract. She (they are not in the US) said what was on her computer screen only showed that I can get it for $177.18 but it had to be for 2 years.

    I said ok but I feel I am being forced into agreeing with it as I have not alternative as my husband is a disabled vet and he loves his internet. It really is the only thing that keeps him busy. This phone call ended with me saying I don’t want to but I will agree to only $177.18 for 2 years as I have no choice. Comcast is forcing me to lock in or be charged the higher price. I at that time paid $ 184. And some odd cents. She said that that would be the last time as the next bill and all future bill‘s will be $177.18. I said ok seeing that I have no other choice I will take it. Well this month guess what, I went to pay my bill (as I said I always pay on time) and it was $191!! Now I am not scholar but that is not $177.18!!! I called Comcast once more and was told the last time I had agreed to the higher payment for a lock in for 2 years.

    Needless to say I lost it. I am so tired of Comcast lying and upping the price. They sell things I don’t want so they can up the price. And force you into a lock in contract. When someone tells you it won’t be higher than $177.18 then that should be the price!!! I feel that Comcast falsely represented themselves and lied to me. I told the young lady she can do away with any so called 2 year agreement as I never agreed to this!!! I was misled and lied to. I want my account adjusted!!!

    I changed my plan because it kept going up! Then I noticed I was being charged a modem rental when I owned my own modem. I had taken my modem into an Xfinity store to prove that it was not one of theirs. The representative told me she took care of it and that I would receive a credit for all the months of being charged this rental. Not only have I not received a credit; I have not even received the "new" billing price. It is like I am still paying for all of the triple play crap that was never any good to begin with. I have called four times to get this straight and each time am promised it will be taken care of. Today, the representative just hung up on me!!! Comcast is terrible.

    I have been with Comcast for many years and recently included my telephone number. The most frustrating company in the world. I was told that my bill would only increase by $4.00 and my first bill was $25.00 more and my second bill was $40.00 more. I have been trying to correct the problem for one month and now they tell me my social security number is incorrect and I have to go to the local office to talk with them. I am not sure why such a large company is so incompetent. Service is terrible. The last time I had a repair person here he sat in his truck for 20 minutes before even coming into my house. I had to go out and get him. We definitely need more competition so that possibly one company could provide good professional service. Comcast should be ashamed to operate a company so poorly.

    I recently wrote a letter to the BBB and The FCC in reference to poor customer service I am currently experiencing because of No calls, no show with the service technicians. I called Comcast Call Center Customer Service, and also the corporate office with my complaints. Was promised a follow-up callback and no called back. And if anyone called by, I felt I was getting the runaround.

    When I called Comcast call center customer service two weeks ago and spoke with a representative, I call with the expectation that my technical issue would be resolved over the phone, If not a professional technician would have been scheduled to come out. It's now 2 weeks later and there is no resolution to my technical complaint. Promise calls that never called back, technicians no call, no show. As a customer, I'm expecting immediate gratification and immediate solutions to my problems. There is no tech tracker feature so users can see in real time where a technician for an appointment is, or a courtesy call. They have to be some initiatives to these customer service woes. I provide Comcast with my loyalty, where is Comcast loyalty to me and the numbers of customer it disappoints.

    I called Xfinity wanting to order the Triple Play. It was the $114.99 plan with no commitment and the price would stay the same for 24 months. Right away the sale person wanted to give me a better deal if I went with a commitment. She reminded me that I could cancel in the first 30 days if I didn't like the service. I told her I wanted the no commitment $114.99 plan. I asked for the complete price it was going to cost me a month. It came to $134.99 before service charge and taxes. So much for the $114.99.

    It's like my time is worth nothing to Comcast. They transfer me overseas, a child with a sing-song voice who doesn't understand a word of English jerks me around for 12 minutes, 38 seconds and then transfers me to a supervisor. After asking me my name, my address, etc she still can't figure out which account is mine. Reason, I have three older accounts I can't get them to close out & she doesn't speak English. After asking my address three different time, she asks me my address again. What a waste of time. And the real problem is with my billing, they changed my service before my new bill came out but they still insist I pay for service that I no longer have. New billing period begins 08/29, service was changed before that. But I am still being billed for older more expensive service.

    In 2014 I canceled my Comcast service and when I return my equipment I was due a refund. I was moving to another state where Comcast service is not offered. I got the check but never cashed it and then lost the check. In 2016 I found the check again and then lost it again. So I went to the Comcast office in person and ask them if they could re-issue this check. They said their system did not go back far enough and I would need the check number to verify this outstanding check and to help them look it up. Since the check was lost I couldn't provide them the number.

    Yesterday I received a letter that Comcast is trying to reach me about an uncashed check with the balance of $101. That was the amount and the check that I was asking him about a year ago. Now I have to mail them in the letter stating that I am the rightful owner of that amount. It's gonna cost me $.50 just to verify something I try to take care of a year ago. Their systems are very poor if they can't go back two years to verify it and paid check and if this is how they go about processing refunds.

    Comcast rewired my condo building with digital wiring. Their brilliant plan included bringing the wiring into each unit, stringing it along the ceiling, down door frames, and across baseboards to get to the TV outlet. Isn't it interesting that cable companies were more advanced in the 1980's when they placed the wiring above ceilings and in walls? I took the day off work and explained to the technician I wanted the wires fished to the TV outlet and he told me there would be a charge for doing so and a special technician would have to come out. I googled Comcast to get an 800 customer support number to arrange for the special technician. Comcast's website provides no 800 number and only provides you with the choice of having customer service call you back or connecting to an online chat.

    I tried the online chat but was frustrated by how much typing would be involved to explain the situation and asked the customer support agent to call me. He/she typed they were not allowed to call. At that point, I asked for the 800 number and was given it. Wouldn't it be nice to get the number without going through all of that? I then called the 800 number and requested a special technician to come out and fish the wires above the ceiling and into the wall. During that conversation, I verified three times with the agent that wall fishing would be on the work order and a technician with special equipment would be sent to my condo. I also agreed to the $60 charge. I took the day off work for the scheduled appointment. A technician with no special equipment and no work order for wall fishing showed up. I had him call technical support and his supervisor.

    Both told me the state of IL does not allow wall fishing. Wouldn't it be nice if customer support and technicians communicated so people didn't waste time taking off work? I then called customer service a second time with my complaint. The best part is I asked to take the customer satisfaction survey, which is completely automated after my first experience with customer service. Every time I pushed one of the designated buttons to answer a survey question, it asked me the same question again. After three attempts, I hung up on the survey in disgust. If I could rate Comcast zero, I would!

    I have had nothing but problems with Comcast service. I have the bundle package, and at least twice a month minimum my internet service goes out. The other problem is my connection speed drops multiple times a month where I have to send a reset signal to my modem or call customer service. I call customer service and it is the same result. They get it up and running for the moment, and then back to the same old issues.

    Customer service is awful in the call center and technical support, I have lost signal during technical support, and they never return the call, I have been hung up on. Just awful customer service. They overcharge for service that they cannot keep running properly, and in my town they are the only internet providers that I have found. This is part why I think they do not care, because they know I cannot go anywhere else for service.

    As a consumer who researches reviews to make good purchasing decisions, I want to share my experience so others like myself may do the same. I purchased cable/internet service about a month ago and have yet to have a day I'm not having problems with the signal. It took 2 techs to come out and decide that a complete rewire was needed. The 3rd tech who did the complete rewire apparently did it wrong because a 4th tech had to come out and readjust what he installed and replace the splitter. Since then I've still had signal problems despite calling customer service numerous times who constantly reassured me that this time the problem will be fixed.

    I canceled service about an hour ago because I found out the credit I was promised to not be charged for the first month and the installation fee was not applied. According to this last agent, the previous agent I spoke to never documented it and did not have the authority to credit an installation fee. I requested she pull the phone records to verify that the agent had made that agreement with me and she kept repeating the installation fee is valid and the credit is not documented... In so many words calling me a liar. So it seems they do not have technicians who are properly trained, their equipment doesn't work properly, and customer service is in the business of making false promises to complaining customers just to get them off the phone in hopes that they'll be too dumb to know how to read their bill and figure out they were lied to.

    Comcast today I had a problem with my modem. Talk to Comcast customer service tried to fix my internet service by phone after many attempts, they told me they could not find the modem signal. And they could not do anything else and offered me the option of sending a technician to review the model, and I told them that if they sent it and asked them if there was going to be a charge, and they told me that they would not hold any charges for that my internet service is through the school. A week later I receive my bill and I have a charge of 60 dollars. Again I call the customer service of Comcast and I ask why they are charging me 60 dollars and they tell me that because I accept that a technician came to my house to change the modem, then I told them that with the person who speaks he told me that the service did not hold any charge.

    The person told me that he was going to make a report, and I would send him to be checked by a supervisor, 3 hours later, the supervisor speaks to me on the phone, and tells me that they had look at my case, and they cannot do anything since the person with whom I had talk did not write any note. Thes anything Comcast can do and that it was my responsibility to have the person who answered me, to write the note that I was not going to generate any fees for the visit and I am responsible for the 60 dollars. Conclusion All customers have to train the Comcast workers so they know how to do their work, as long as they continue to make mistakes, they will continue to earn money and customers will continue to pay for their mistakes!

    Unfortunately I have no positive feedback for this business, only negative. They fleece their customers... They offer one package and then, without notification, the fees change. This happens all the time. You can't lock in a special price even when you agree to a 1-2 year contract because they up the fees or add in fees whenever they want. They put the onus on the customer to check their billing for mistakes every month and alert them if there is an error in billing. However, if you don't notice or check within a specific timeframe, they will not credit you back. It's very bad business practice.

    Basically they are taking advantage of the fact that many customers do not go through every bill and simply have it paid through online automatic banking. This has happened to me a few times now and I've had it with them. I'm done. I just canceled for good. On top of that, their sales reps all seem oblivious and many are very rude. It is nearly impossible for a customer to come after them because of the time and money it would take for a lawsuit and they are well aware of that fact. Bad business... Stay away from them if you can.

This will now be the 5th time in 3 months for different reasons.

    Not to mention the ridiculously outrageous bill that just keeps going up and up with no changes to service whatsoever. They nickel and dime you for everything and to be in a tier with any decent channels or shows you need to take out a loan. Comcast is a multi million dollar company whose only sole purpose is to rip their customer off. On a scale of 1-10 I rate them a 0 in all areas including, customer support, tv/internet service, convenience, affordability, and reliability.

    They just keep trying to connect me with the wireless gateway people and they don't pick up. They won't give me the direct number for them either (My fault they gave it to me once and I lost it.) My Xfinity landline keeps dropping me and they can't hear me through my horrible reception Sprint cell phone. Why is there a monopoly on these services? I've been on the phone for hours and hours. I just renewed in May and I've had nothing but trouble since. First I got a bad DVR and spent hours on the phone and they ended up sending a tech who immediately knew it was an "older model that shouldn't even be given out". He changed it and all good.

    Then I start having problems with my internet connection. It keeps slowing down and dropping me. The rest is all below but I can't just say this to the right human being NO. Instead I have to start over with each rep. Also why can some of the reps see the last 4 of my social and the others can't and I have to look up and give my entire account number. Isn't it the same file? So I will spend a few hours tomorrow standing in line and throwing the dice to see if I can get a modem that works. I never should have changed out my old one, it worked fine. They are evil.

    As you can see in my files, I have been having problems with the new modem I got a few weeks ago. At first I had download speeds of 48Mbs, a few days later it was down to 12Mbs, I called the first tech I spoke with said that the modem was bad and to take it back. Before doing that, I called again and the tech got it back to 24Mbs, it started dropping again and the last call I made yesterday adjusted the frequencies until it was around 30Mbs and I accepted that. Someone called me this morning and told me she was sending someone over between 1-3 PM. They came and said the antenna in the modem is too small and I should buy a 3.0 router for $136 with a big antenna. He changed it from the 2.4Ghz to the 5Ghz and said it would only go to 4Mbs download because of my equipment.

    I told him that it was running at a download speed of 30Mbs when he got there. So he fiddled with it and got it up to 243Mbs and left. Now it is back down to 3Mbs download speed on my Cell phone and laptop. My cell phone has NEVER tested slow so it NOT MY EQUIPMENT! I’m ready to throw this modem through your window like the little old lady with the tire. First I got a bad DVR for this place now I’ve gotten a bad modem. I sure wish you were paying me for all this time I’m spending on services I pay $150/month to be frustrated with. The woman who called this AM said she’d call back but never did. Since the hard wired desktop runs very fast I think the antenna in this modem must be bad. Or why can’t it hold a frequency?

    I have been a Comcast customer for many years. I travel in my job thus I request to reduce the package in my absence. It initially worked. However, since September 2015 I have been away from my apartment not using any of the services. Informed Comcast, called several times spoke to a senior executive who promised to address the issue promise "immediate" action. Nothing has happened. Comcast was aware that I have moved out of apartment due to a flood rehabilitation and too many overseas travel. It is obvious if they check the records. These services have not been used at all. Unfortunately, my bank that handles all my payments continued to automatically pay for the full package. Thus I have paid Comcast more than 2300 dollars for unused services.

    When I found out I contacted Comcast. I recently stopped the payment and requested to stop the services. I received a letter from a collection agency for unpaid dues! This experience with the Comcast customer services was awful and their customer service was unprofessional and ruthless. For several months I have gone from "We can not do anything." We will work out a compromise to keeping the package though I have requested more than once to down size it to the minimum. To add insult to injury Comcast denied having any record my communications and requests and about promises I was provided with.

    If I could rate this company a zero, I would do so. We have had problems with our cable service for two years. After calling several times a week, getting new cable boxes and having technicians come out, we finally have good reception (today at least). However they have lied repeatedly, sending technicians out and telling us there would be no charge if the issue wasn't inside our home or due to our own equipment. Last month a technician came out (with the assurance, there would be no charge if the problem wasn't in our house). He found water in the box outside where the cable runs from the pole to our home. He fixed the problem and we've had good reception since. However, they charged us a $60 service fee. I called and after much heated discussion was told a ticket would be submitted to request a credit.

    A couple of days later I called again for an update and was told by the agent, "I'm looking at your account. The $60 has been credit back to your account and your checking account will be debited for your usual bill." NOT TRUE. Yesterday they debited my account for amount including the $60. I called today to complain and find out why they would blatantly lie about this. I was offered a $30 credit and no apology and was given a confirmation # to use if I had to call back on this. I told the supervisor I spoke with that this is the worst, most horrible, lying company I have ever dealt with and they disgust me.

    I had service with Xfinity since 2013. Throughout the years I had several problems with customer service giving me different prices, different services and my bill changing without knowledge. Today was my last straw, after being transferred 3 separate times, I finally was able to cancel my cable, I needed just internet. The customer service representative gave me pricing for three different options which I chose the first one for $54.95 a month. He then transferred me to another person to cancel the cable side. That person then told me my new bill would be $89.95 a month for just internet. I stated "That's not what I was told my pricing would be" and she stated that I would not be able to get that pricing because I was already a prior customer. Then stated I am in a 12-month promotional package to where I cannot terminate services without a fee, I stated I never got into a promotional service or contract.

    After 15 minutes going by she finally stated I am correct, I was not in one. Then stated the only internet package I can get was a performance package that cost $30 more than any other package because I was a previous customer. Even if I tried signing a contract with them to get the promotional price of $54.95 which I was stated previous by the customer service she stated no I was not allowed. I called back again after getting off the phone with her once again. Was offered the promotional price of $54.95 for my internet. They cannot get on the same page of what they are offering customers and what they are charging them. They tell you you were on a contract when you're not on one. They tried charging me extra equipment fees which I did not have. Their service and their pricing went completely downhill. I do not recommend them to anyone. I will be looking at their competitors as I've already gotten cheaper pricing with better service.

    While I was working out of state, my wife set up service with Comcast/xfinity. 1.) After the install and start of service Comcast added a $5.95 in home service warranty that was never ordered or asked for... we live in a rental, no need. 2.) During the install the guy that came out to the apt. told my wife that we couldn't use our wireless router and required to rent their wireless router that was exactly the same as ours... $10/month. 3.) Over charged us on our bill, and spent hours talking to the Philippines, Guatemala, Pakistan... and was told it was all straightened out and a new bill would be sent. Got a call from a collection agency, then got another bill from Comcast for the same amount. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY - THEY ARE RIP-OFFS AND DON'T CARE THAT YOU KNOW IT!

    Comcast like other companies does not want the government in their business and have people that their entire job is to deal with people that complain to the Better Business Bureau. Also note there is a spot on the BBB's site to upload your bill and show how they manipulate their charges monthly. (Google search for: Better Business Bureau Philadelphia). Note: I believe when one company has a monopoly over communication (Comcast / "CONVICT-CAST") free speech is lost. Comcast has no right to treat us with such little regard and the government needs to know that unfair business practices (randomly raising monthly prices, providing poor or no service) is just not ok.

    Side note: like any monopoly Comcast acts under the guise that you have a choice. Comcast owns Hulu and continues to acquire competitors in the pursuit of dominance, supremacy, and control of all media communication. As an American, it is my duty to protect freedom and free speech. Please, help yourself and be a part of the solution.

    I have had Comcast services for 4+ years. We were located at a different storefront until the end of September last year. Due to the economics in our area we decided to move locations and try and keep the business going. Upon doing that I was forced into another contract. Well unfortunately we are forced to close our business. I have been in contact with the retention dept, Disconnect Team, and I am not sure who else to no satisfaction. I have been forced to contact the Better Business Bureau and the FCC.

    If I weren't going out of business I would totally understand the ETF, but I am going out of business. If I had the $2067.30 they want in early termination fees I wouldn't be going out of business. They are unwilling to help me. They are trying to charge for something that is not actually rendered but something that is anticipated. If I was just cancelling early it would be justified. But my business is closing due to economic reasons. There should be some type of hardship program to help with situations like this.

    When I was younger I had Comcast Cable installed and paid about $35.00 per month, this arrangement (not the price) lasted for 20 years. When I got tired of getting fleeced by Comcast I dropped them for about a month before becoming a customer again. Well I finally decided to try AT&T and I couldn't be happier. It feels so right not to have Comcast's six-shooter stuck in my ribs all the time. I have very a comparable channel listing and excellent picture quality.

    Unfortunately, even though I had cancelled my service with Comcast several months ago, they continuously send me bills for service I don't have. Talking to their customer service is a total waste of time unless you like being lied to. Comcast is the ISIS of corporate America treating their customers as ISIS treats Christians. Remember Comcast does not want your business, just your money. My bill from AT&T for a triple play service is approximately $80.00 per month less consistently. Now I don't drop my pants and bend over when I pay my cable bill.

    I've been a customer of Comcast/Xfinity since 1980. Over the past 5 yrs I've struggled with how expensive their services are. I've paid anywhere from $150.00 to $175.00. Triple Play Package includes TV, phone and internet. The price for this package changes on a regular basis. My current package was NOT a special promo. I called on August 5, 2017 to check on any current specials. After enrolling in a 24-month special I received an email stating there would be an early cancellation fee of $220.00 which was not communicated to me when I signed up for it. (30-day free trial.) I also enrolled in auto pay to save $5.00 extra per month and was told I would have to pay my current bill because auto pay has to go through an entire billing cycle before going into effect.

    After more research I discovered this was not the case and my auto pay was processed the day the bill was due. (So glad I didn't go ahead and pay it as instructed.) Called in again on August 8, 2017 to cancel that package and switch back to the one I had. Now the price had gone up to $187.00. Xfinity is not worth this amount of money. I will disconnect my service.

    We've been unfortunate enough to have Comcast for 17 years in Florida. For many years their customer service was unfriendly and irresponsible. During the last year their agents have become more polite. Our community of more than 1,200 homes was re-equipped for their new X-1 service in May. We are used to many outages, some short, some long often related to bad weather. We hoped that we'd have fewer problems with the new fiber optic cable. It is disappointing to report that nearly every day at least part of our community loses service -- TV, internet and phones. We are supposed to contact their bulk contract service when outages occur. Sometimes this is possible, sometimes not because the musical wait time often exceeds 20 minutes. The typical agent tells me that there is no service outage in our area and sending a new signal to our modem doesn't work.

    Although we have learned that these outages are never due to problems in our home, Comcast's only response is to transfer us to tech support or schedule a visit by a tech. We tell them that the problem is not at our house but they don't seem to care so they schedule a tech visit for four to six days later. The outage most often lasts from three to seven hours. Sometimes they finally admit that there is an outage and sometimes not. If and when their tech visits he finds nothing wrong. The senior techs know that there is an unsolved problem in this community but nothing changes.

    Promises from agents to have a supervisor or manager call us have never ever been kept and the outages continue usually 3-4 times weekly. Our community signed a 10 year contract with Comcast to get this new service. Phone agents and home techs are polite but the service problems go on and on. Their poor service is a common source of discussion and ridicule here with no change in sight and we seem to have no recourse.

    We have been having issues with our Comcast internet service from approximately 3 months now. The original issues were we could lose internet connectivity every 45 minutes 90minutes. At which times we would be down between 3 and 5 minutes. This all seems to be a DHCP issues as I did a packet capture on the WAN link and I see a bunch of failed DHCP offers and requests. After 3 truck rolls and no solution. Mind each Truck roll basically said the same thing. "We replaced the line going to house it should be good now. You will need to wait about an hour for your modem to be fully provisioned." **. I replaced the cable modem with a DOCSIS 3.1 the Motorola SB8600 on the COMCAST supported list. We now seem to have a more stable connection. HOWEVER, we are getting 1/10th the speed we are paying for. That is we are getting between 89 and 93Mbps not even close to the 1Gbps service we are paying for.

    Today we had 2 yes that is 2 scheduled appointments for a technician to show. The first technician never showed so they scheduled a second technician who also never showed. Really guys? So I'm left speaking with the same customer service agents who don't know any more than resetting the modem. Well look, guys, this has not worked on the other calls doubt very seriously it's going to work on this one. All I'm really looking for here is a resolution solution to the problem. Same as many of the other complaints on this board. I find it rather ridiculous to dealing with this for over 3 months. My only option is to go to CenturyLink. Don't even get me started there. I don't believe COMCAST has any intention of addressing this issue at this point. I have given them way more than enough time and have been willing to work with them in anyway I can.

When my husband returned from work, he made a simple suggestion that solved the problem. Comcast used to have the best tech support.

So I did, the representative I talked to told me that the old equipment charge would show up on my first bill and then fall off. Then on July 24 my service got turned off. I called and was on hold for over 30 minutes. When a rep came on she told me that it was because my balance was high. Told her what the sales rep said and she understood and I made a payment arrangement for my first payment. Keep in mind I still haven't even got my first bill yet. Then she transfer me the billing to get that balance of my account for the order equipment. They put in a ticket to get that taken off and told me they would call me on June 26. Never got a phone call! July 31 my service gets turned off again.

    I called in a representative. Says that it's from the old equipment and it should be on there. She been transferred me to her supervisor. The supervisor then informs me that it was wrong information I was given and it's actually a past due balance that's due not returned equipment and then I have to pay $260 to get my service back in good standings. I have told multiple representatives that I am not going to pay for a Comcast representative error and that common sense would tell them if that was the case and I was supposed to pay that I would've never got my new service again nor should I have been given new service if I had a past due debt with them. They then explain to me that unfortunately I should have known this and there's nothing else they can do.

    You have no idea the amount of time I've spent on the phone on hold and with representatives to get the run around and they transfer me to people that will do nothing. All of this is on a recorded line but nobody will listen to them. I am beyond frustrated with the situation because it should not be this hard when none of this was my fault but yet I'm the one who has to deal with it because nobody there will help me!! I still have yet to receive my first bill but they turned my service off twice within 30 days and 34 days.

She states that I should go off my actual billing statement and that they can't do anything to correct this on their end. She says I have to pay my bill in order to have services restored. Why would I pay my bill now, when it says I didn't have to pay until 8/7? It doesn't matter if Comcast's automated system is incorrect, you don't get to punish the customer because your systems are giving the wrong information!

    Not once, not twice, but three times in the last 30 days have I been on the phone with customer service to correct a billing error that was Comcast's fault. Why would they think someone wants to pay on an inactive account (even though I only gave them the correct account number several times in one phone call) and then still when "sending reimbursement" would they send the check to an address they know I no longer live at. You are an internet service provider, it should not take 4-6 weeks to send a physical check for reimbursement. The error should be corrected directly online within a matter of 3-5 business days (and that's being generous).

    At this rate, with the third conversation with customer service, I expect changes in 24 hours. I have wasted more than 3 hours of time checking emails and accounts and on the phone with customer service reps that are extremely difficult to understand and talk over you/interrupt you. I have never been more disgusted with a company and how I have been treated by their customer service agents. If Comcast/Xfinity doesn't already monopolize services in your area do not choose them for your services, they will screw you sideways at least once a year, if not more. Do not allow automatic payments as they are not to be trusted, they will add charges to your bill when you don't pay attention. When you do call to dispute, it takes much longer than it ever should for their mistake.

    Lied about services, overcharged, hassle to correct - On July 16, I called to cancel services in Colorado and switch my contract to South Carolina. I was told by 3 agents, "no problem, we'll take care of that today." After being on hold for over an hour and switched to 3 different agents, I come to find out that not only was my Colorado account not cancelled, my new services were not set-up and the agent who promised to call me back to assist never called. On July 24, after being on hold for another 30 minutes and bounced through several agents, Tim (855-668-3343 ext.**) set-up my services and, I quote, "we can do one better than your rate in Colorado, we can offer the same channels (HGTV, Bravo, etc.) PLUS 75 meg internet PLUS a bonus of HBO for one year for FREE all for $59.99. Cool.

    I drove 15 miles to exchange my equipment only to get home and realize none of the equipment worked. The Comcast tech person explained that the sales department keyed in the wrong equipment and I'd have to drive back the 15 miles the next day to get the correct equipment (the location was closed by that point), going a day without services yet still PAYING for the services. I called sales the next day to have them correct the equipment request and I was told by John (855-668-3343 ext. **) that Tim was wrong and that I could not have my X1 preferred package PLUS FREE HBO for $59.99, that I would have to pay $69.99 for X1 voice/preferred with 75 megs of internet and no HBO. Fine.

    Went to get the equipment and the gal stated, "I think they still have your account wrong." I hooked up my own equipment, got the channels I was promised, had internet that worked very very slowly, and my voice remote worked. Ok, all set. WRONG. Received my bill and was being charged the Latino Package for $99.99. I called and spoke with Hope in Customer Retention regarding my bill and got the run around for 30 minutes. When I told her to cancel my account and that I'd contact the Consumer Affairs of SC listed on my bill as well as the BBB, she claimed she would fix the issue.

    Despite being quoted several different offers from previous agents, I am now downgraded to: $69.95 for the starter performance package, 25 meg of internet (NOT 75 megs), NO HD, NO HBO all of this without even the offer to keep me at 75 megs as I was previously quoted, and doing that customer service dance of talking over me and acting as if this was MY fault! This took over an hour more of my time, I have to pay the bill that overcharged me by $30 so now I'm out $30 until Comcast "credits" me on my next bill, and I'm stuck with crappy TV and even slower internet. They are essentially stealing $30 from me and LIED. I'm still filing a complaint with BBB and Consumer Affairs SC and will never again subscribe to Comcast as soon as this contract ends.

    The individuals at Comcast Business were incredibly helpful and worked through a very challenging and confusing situation with me.

I was hoping for some credit for the mix up but was not sure that I would be able to get much back. However, much to my relief, Comcast independently approved and credited our company for all of the duplicate billing that had occurred over some months and took responsibility for the mix up - even though neither of us knew what exactly had happened at the time of the original porting of service from the old business location.

    My husband and I moved to the east coast back in April of 2017. At the end of May of 2017 we decided to go with Comcast for our internet and cable. From the day they came to install our boxes we have had problems. For starters, they put our cable box on the other side of our living room on where near the TV. (Yes the TV was out and setup and we made sure to put it next to a cable outlet) Secondly I had told the guy when he had asked me if the wifi was working I had said yes but it is very slow and that is not the plan we got. We got the plan with the fastest wifi due to working at home on the computer. He then continued to say it was working fully when it was not. We then had to call about 3 days after getting everything installed to tell them that our internet was not working throughout the house it was only working downstairs were the router was at.

    They scheduled an appointment for the following morning. They told us between 9am-11am at 11:30am we still had nobody here to fix our internet so my husband called and they told us he was going to be running late. (It would have been nice for them to call and inform us of that) Two hours later they arrive.. They decided we needed to move the router to a different area in the house so we agreed. They then moved the router and proceed to tell us it will be a charge of 65dollar for moving the router. HECK NO my husband got on the phone and proceeded to tell the lady we will not be paying that since we have only have had the router for 3 days. She finally agreed after 30 minutes of arguing with my husband. So cool our internet is now working..

    A month later we got our first bill of 105 dollars!! NO NO NO, they were trying to charge us that fee for moving the router so my husband calls and talks to a manger and they finally deduct the bill. they said we will only have to pay 50dollars and the next month’s bill is fee. OK COOL... The next month comes around which is this month (July) and our bill is 71 dollars??? We were told because of all the mess they have done it would be free so we look at the bill and they are yet again trying to charge us that fee for moving the router. My husband called and talked to a manager again and they manager mad a deal that we pay the 71 dollars this month and next month 30 will be deducted from the bill. Ok whatever.

    So today our wifi is SOOOOO slow. We call and the lady tried fixing it told me it was fixed and that we wont have problems anymore.. YET IT IS STILL NOT WORKING.. She also gave me the number for the wifi support line so I call to see whats up and she gave me a number that isn't even activated.. WTF at this point I am DONE with Comcast. So I call them and try to see whats up but they refuse to talk to me because it is my husband’s name that is on the account primarily (My name is also on the account just not the primary name) I was so angry I just hung up on them.

The techs came out (3 total, including a "supervisor Tech, whoa!) to double check that I actually had service (yes), cable inside the walls of the house (yes) and that the service was hooked up and running (yes). A no-brainer if you ask me, but satisfying for them that it all seemed fine. 3 new Cable boxes later and the tech on the phone still has a Red signal and needs to send a tech out, 5 days from now. I ask for a Supervisor, who puts me on hold for 20 minutes, then tells me that I can get a tech to the house later in the week. Since I have already taken time off from work to take the cable box back to the Comcast store, I asked if a tech could be found to come today as I am unavailable for the rest of the week. (Yes, we all do work and have jobs so we can pay our very overpriced cable TV bill).

    He left me on hold for another 35 minutes and after 1 hour he told me that it was impossible to find someone today and that I could have a service tech tomorrow. Boy, they just don't write stuff down, do they? I reiterated my need to keep my gainful employment and would be unavailable. I then told him I would be disconnecting this horrid piece of garbage they call cable tv service and go with another service company. If we all just dump these loser cable companies for just 1 month, maybe they will remember what service really is... Very disappointed in Comcast, always has been, always will be. Do yourself a favor and find a better service, there has to be something. If not, let's all start reading books again!

    Comcast has abominable customer service. One star seems to indicate that they have some level of customer service as a starting point, but that's not the case here. This complaint is specifically about their obnoxiously poor automated voice customer "service" line which placed me in a never ending loop of options, such that after 30 minutes going through their interactive voice system I was unable to even get in a queue to have my call answered... I ended up back at the same place 4 times. I despise you Comcast!!! You are absolutely abominable. I lived in Philadelphia, where Comcast is based. As a Philadelphian I have only shame in any association between Comcast as a Company and our great city.

    I signed up for the scam of a life time. CAUTION PEOPLE: If you sign up for Xfinity Wifi 1-7-30 day pass, you will be AUTOMATICALLY CHARGED every time without your consent or knowledge until you finally find out about how the AUTOMATIC renewal button is activated. So when you try to call to get refunded, they tell you either some BS about calling back in 48 hours and they'll fill out a report or when you do decide to call back, they'll inform you you actually can't fill out reports for people without accounts with Xfinity… and they can't refund someone without an account... but they can charge you money without an account? That makes sense. Or it doesn't.

    The first Indian woman I talked with is Mina, she had me on hold for 15 minutes WITH a supervisor and not one of them told me this "fact" of how they can’t refund my money. They said to call 48 hours later and it should "magically" work. Also she would be sure to write up a full description of what the issue was... but she never did… and lied to me. So of course I called back 48 hours later, and turns out within 30 seconds of talking to another representative, he tells me that's not true, or even possible. Then he went and got HIS supervisor who said that Xfinity can never refund someone who only has a temporary pass... which means I'm SOL of my refund.

    Turns out I had to call my credit card company (Discover) which is the best customer service I have ever dealt with so far in my life, they called BS the second I told them the story. The guy who helped me was named Dale, and he originated in Salt Lake, he got me my refund. Thanks Dale. I will never deal with Xfinity again, or they're so called "hot spots" or 3 hour or 1 week passes. Xfinity is probably the worst internet and tv provider I've ever experienced in my 23 years of customer service. And that's compared to DirecTV and they're awful.

On Monday Morning by 10 I still have not heard back from Stephanie so I called the cable company period. After 2 hours on the phone on the internet on a chat, I was unable to recreate whatever kind of plan Stephanie had promised me because Comcast cable plans are indecipherable.

    Internet and cable are great but their customer service sucks! They sent me the wrong cable box so I had to go get the supposedly right one, still wouldn't work so they had to have someone come out and fix it. The second box they gave me wasn't right so he had to get me the right one, I told him to do what he had to do to get things working. I then went about cleaning other rooms in my house for 45 minutes before coming back out and seeing him watching tv! He wasn't switching channels to make sure they all worked or messing with cables he was honestly watching tv.

    I didn't know what to do or say in this situation so I stood there for 5 minutes before he got up and told me everything was working and then he continued to stand there and watch tv for another 5 minutes before leaving! He can proudly tell himself he got the job done but it was very rude, disrespectful, and so unprofessional. Now knowing what he was doing while I was cleaning it should have only taken 15 to 20 minutes and it took an hour!

    Whatever you do--stop! And Read this. Comcast will throw you into collections and/or bankruptcy by fining you over $3,000 if you terminate your contract, for any reason, after 30 days. We had Comcast installed. Never used it because our network specialist said it would not work properly after assessing what was installed. He strongly recommended we stay with Verizon, which we did. It took some time for the network guy to come out, and then for us to find the several hours necessary to wait on hold to try to cancel with Comcast's abysmal service, so they fined us over $3,000. Despite complaints to FCC, BBB and discussing by phone with Comcast, they opted not to offer any kind of an option that would be affordable for a regular person. They have no chance of collecting. Will just sit in collections but they are happy to make a lifetime enemy out of this business and home owner and formerly loyal Comcast user.

    We paid for 8 months of service we never used. One would think a reasonable business owner would say "We took a lot of their money and didn't give them anything. The least we can do, since our product doesn't work for them, is not fine them $3,000." But that is not their tact. Apparently there is no one running Comcast or caring at all about the people that use it. Wow. Really unbelievable. I'll be sending a letter to my Congressmen and Senators as well as the Governor's office to look into what amounts to a very unreasonable fleecing of America.

    Comcast decided to jump my bill significantly January 2016. I am a senior, and objected and asked they lower the costs and keep me where I was. I even discussed lower levels of service to lower the bill, but nothing offered was acceptable to me. At that point I had been with Comcast for over 10 years and a reliable payer. After being told by Comcast that Comcast would not help me, I decided to switch to ATT and DirecTV and get the same services at substantially less cost. I switched, and had an overlap period of 5 days. I promptly returned the equipment (one digital box, 4 analog boxes... I already owned my Internet modem and router) to Comcast the following day. My adjusted final bill was about $110 for the 5 days... The monthly ongoing rate I was paying was about $160 a month.. The new jumped up rate was to be about $220 a month.

    How on earth can 5 days of service and modest equipment rental be over $100 based on those rates? That would mean my monthly bill should have been about $600 a month. Is anyone at Comcast good at math, even simple simple simple math? It’s called PRORATING the month... not make up a number. I tried calling Comcast to discuss this but because my phone number was transferred to ATT no one at Comcast could even access my account. Can you believe that? Anyway I was offered no help. Being in sales for much of my life this process saddened me. Comcast was an OK service provider... but my opinion was changing. Months later I was contacted by a collection company. I explained to them the issue, but they really did not seem to care. They wanted to collect what Comcast told them to collect, and I was not going to be ripped off. So I guess we are at a Standoff.

    I should mention that my credit is EXCELLENT on all credit bureau services. Even after they reported my supposed "delinquency" I am EXCELLENT. Because I am responsible, and only buy what I can afford, and then promptly pay my bills. So their threats to hurt my credit were meaningless to me... but I can imagine very nasty to people with lesser credit. I really do not take to bullying too well, I pay for the services I use... but I have no desire to simple pay for whatever Comcast decides was appropriate... I am not a dummy and I did not appreciate being bullied because I left. I gave them every chance to retain me as a customer before I left. They decided not to offer me a better rate and I told them I would be leaving at first opportunity. And I did just that.

    Even after this aggravating experience I have no problem paying for the days I used the service and equipment, but not for anything more. After 10 years of being a client, I would have expected more. Then again, I would have thought they would have worked with me to stay... but apparently I was wrong. Anyway, life can go on without Comcast.

When discussing options, new customers get extremely better deals than long time customers. My husband did not want to change to dish so Xfinity Comcast is our only option. After being forced to go from a double play package to a triple play package to get a "better price" I have had nothing but billing problems. The phone service, which was added, has been nothing but a problem and doesn't work right despite over a dozen calls back and forth with tech support. Their billing is completely screwed up and they refuse to acknowledge they did anything wrong. Forget trying to dispute charges as they will tell you they are right, and there is nothing you can do about it, even though the charges don't make sense.

    After being on the phone with billing for over an hour, the billing department tells me, I was not under a contract previously, like I was told two months ago. Now I am stuck with them for two years unless I want to break the contract for $660.60. You can't ever speak to anyone locally, it is always someone in another country. You can never call the local office, because that number is apparently top secret that even the service department doesn't even have it.

    The service for my mother is called 'Triple Play' package including internet service. My mother, a ninety year old widow for many years and living alone, has never asked for and does not need internet and the two hundred plus channels. She is on a set income. When calling to change, they offered a 'Double Play' package which still includes internet service but would cost more than the 'Triple Play'. My mother has been paying between one-hundred, sixty-four dollars and two-hundred and fifty dollars each month for services she does not need nor asked for. This is the second phone call to them to change and of course lower the monthly cost. I have been on hold during most of the call for fifteen minutes. The representative insists we have the best option, TRIPLE PLAY, which includes a fifty dollar discount.

    This means my ninety year old mother should be paying, according to Comcast, three-hundred dollars per month for cable service so she may watch two channels and have a land line phone. Comcast, XFINITY, is playing hardball. I am still on hold as I write this. Any elderly person probably would hang up by now which is the idea. Why on earth does it take so long to change a cable plan? I went online through my computer on my wireless access, to change my mother's plan. Comcast, XFINITY does not offer online to change plans. This is unacceptable. I am still on hold. The representative claims to be searching for a plan that does not include internet and less channels and to keep her landline phone. Don't most elderly, senior citizens need a landline phone? Other cable companies will allow customers to switch to lower plans and without any hassle and online.

    The rep came back on for the fourth time and said exactly the same thing; the other packages are more expensive than the TRIPLE PLAY package. She asked me if I would like to hear them. I said "No. I only want to hear the less expensive packages." She put me on hold again. She came back and repeated herself with the same answers; all other packages are more expensive. She asked if I would like to hear the more expensive packages. Really? I asked why my mother, who has never watched, played or listened to sports is paying for sport packages including regional sports? The rep repeated again, all other options, packages price points are more expensive. We do not have a better choice with this company and my mother lives an in area where there limited options in choosing cable companies, except satellite which she tried but weather created to many outages.

    The service rep repeated constantly any package 'price point' will be more expensive. Again, my mother is paying for over 200 channels when she only watches two or three channels, paying for internet service when she does not have any computer skills or computer, and pays for regional and sport channels she is not interested in. This is the FIRST time she has had to pay over one-hundred dollars to watch cable TV and for landline service. These large cable companies have no compassion for our elderly, low income, tax paying US citizens. There has to be a change. We all will be getting older, including the customer service rep and their spiel. Unbelievable price gouging and taking advantage of our elderly is more than unacceptable.

    Okay, so here it is... I have read a good amount of reviews here, and to be fair, I don't really see too many people rushing here to leave a good review when they've had a good experience. That said, let's move on. Comcast is a disgrace to every cable company out there. Especially DirecTV, their biggest competitor who used to never stand a chance against Xfinity/Comcast, but now they are blowing them out of the water! DirecTV is SOOO MUCH BETTER than Comcast!

    Anyway, When I switched over to DirecTV thru AT&T because there was a great deal, I was very skeptical. It seemed too good to be true, which I've always learned - if it is, then it's a load of crap, right? Well, it turns out this wasn't! It was GREAT!! Every movie channel and every other channel all for $60 a month! No hidden charges!

    Now, we all know that Comcast is more than triple that price! And before I go any further, NO I don't work for DirecTV, lol, and I'm not getting anything for a good review. I simply amazed. But here's the thing. After I realized how great and how honest DirecTV was, I ended up having an issue with the box. I called customer service worrying that 1. I'd be on hold for 45 min, and 2. The techs wouldn't have a damn clue what to do. But they did. I know for a fact that Comcast barely trains their tech associates. They send 'em out to the phones with no experience and just a paper to read from. Morons.

    Subbing to DirecTV made me realize how awful Comcast really is. Oh, and the DirecTV remote is friggin Awesome!!! You can record movies and shows on the DVR, it has so much space! I think I have close to 100 movies on there now. And Comcast internet was the worst I have ever had. I currently have Verizon internet, the price is a tad high, but it's amazing service all the same. Bottom line, stay clear away from Comcast. Their hidden secret fees and their talentless inexperienced techs are absolutely going to be their downfall.

    My husband passed. I have was told that I would have to take all equipment back to open a new account in my name to get around of paying a $350 installment fee. I have all legal documents and proof of address and payment that would have been needed to send to them to have the equipment turned over to me. Nope, too easy. I continued to pay the bill until I could unhook everything and go to a store-front to do as I was told to not have to pay installment fees.

    After finally getting all of the other things settled for his estate, I drove to the store. I was helped by a very awesome Comcast Employee who went over the items with me. I went through the entire process and credit checking required to open a new account and get the equipment. It took about 30 mins - 45 mins. She was the only one there while the store filled up with about 10 people waiting in line until "finally" some guy shuffles his feet as slow as possible to help her. This was June 22nd approximately 2pm. She continued with a smile and great service, while he mumbled to his customers without saying a greeting or provided a smile. This guy needs to get a warehouse job where he could work on production to learn how to hustle, and would be out of the public eye. I digress. I go home happily with my new equipment. I called a family engineer to help me to hook up my cable on Sunday.

    On Friday, I received a call from a lady who started asking me personal questions and said she was with Comcast (that is it). She would only tell me she worked for Comcast, and would not state the nature of her call. I told her I wouldn't provide any personal answers until she could tell me why she was calling from Comcast because there are TOO many scams today over phone calls. The caller ID didn't show Comcast, just an unknown 866#. She said in a condescending voice that she would just discontinue service. I told her I didn't have service (yet), so there must a mistake. I said if she wanted to be mean and not provide any details other than she's with Comcast, then she could and I would call the company and let them know how incredibly negligent she was and hateful she was while doing something "she claimed" to be with Comcast.

    When she said she would discontinue service I thought for sure then she was a scam because my service hadn't been set up yet. My account was the only thing that had been set up. I just got my equipment and hadn't had time to connect anything yet. It had been less than 24 hours as well. They should know if the service had been set up or not since everything is digital. The entire call seemed very improper, unprofessional, rude, and fishy like most scams of today.

    On Sunday, as planned, I went along with my plans to hook up the service, and the # customer service said to call to get connected. I did, and they said that there was no such account that was listed and that I would have to start everything all over. I still have all of the equipment. What a waste of time for everyone!!! No wonder why their stocks are at .21 cents!! They have people running a company into the ground. Their model is going out of style, their employees are horrible, and their product is failing.

    Today Comcast lost me as a customer in less than 6 hours. It started off with us not being able to use the modem I have because we decided to get the phone service. This was after I gave them the modem specifications and was told it would work. I also found out that my wife was lied to originally as to the price per month increase after 12 months. She was originally told at most $10, but the morning of the install it had increased to $25. After setup and internet running, I do a few tests. I notice that I am pulling half the speeds I should from the speed testing sites. I decide to also check the speeds I get while downloading and uploading for work. These speeds are MUCH worse, on par with 1/75 download and 1/375 upload speeds.

    I call in to get things checked out, just to make sure something is not going on in my area. Once I am talking with an Agent, I let the Agent know that I was in the middle of a download and DID NOT want my modem rest (which is normally the first move many of these Agents do). The agent affirms that they will not reboot my modem and asks if they can put me on hold. I agree. Moments later my download drops and I notice that my modem is rebooting. The agent comes back on the line and informs me that they just rebooted my modem. That I should check my speeds again once it is back up. At that point I knew things would never get better and that I should cut ties right there, 5 hours and 43 minutes after setup.

    For 18 months, they have charged me an "AnyRoom DVR fee" when I NEVER had one of their DVRs. I use Tivo. They said they would fix it and credit me. I checked our bill in detail today and found out they did NOTHING and are STILL CHARGING ME! Also, a tree branch knocked our line down twice. The first time, tech shows up the same day, goes up a ladder and fixes it. No problem. The second time it happens, another tech shows up, says he cannot fix it without a bucket truck. He left after 2 minutes then left and said a truck would fix it that day. He then called back and said it would be the FIRST thing the next morning. We waited, and called. After two hours, we found out he wrote he spent three hours at our location and it was fixed. NOBODY was coming.

    So they then promise AGAIN that a truck would be out before the end of the day. We call at later and after spending nearly another hour, we find out they STILL did not schedule ANYONE to come out. And then they said it can probably be fixed with a refresh signal. I told them the cable is disconnected from the pole. And she argued that she needs to send a refresh signal before going any further. She went through it TWICE then said the box is not responding and then told us our equipment was defective. Then told us to just swap it out at the local office.

    I told her again it would do no good and repeated that the cable was ripped out at the pole. She then said she can schedule a tech and would have to charge us for damaging their equipment. We would have to wait another day at the end of the line for a tech to become available. Finally, after four days, a competent tech showed up, went up the ladder and put a new line in and had it done in 10-15 minutes like the first guy should have done.

    That is just part of our problems. Now they imposed data caps and charge us an extra $30-$40 per month, slowed out internet from 100 Mbps to 75 Mbps. I checked with WOW and they told us they can give us the same service, 100 Mbps, NO DATA CAPS for less. They even made a point by having a tech give us a quote ready to install the day before Commiecast finally showed up. Now Commiecast better cough up a huge credit for their overcharges, REMOVE THE DATA CAP, give us back our 100 Mbps, and permanent discounts or I am switching to WOW.

    Six years of service with no issues until I move to another city. During my move I didn't use any of the service and was told I would be credited for two weeks. This credit was given to me while I was setting up for my new address and free install that was going to be on Friday. Just a couple days from the call. When Friday came around no one showed up or called. I called that night wondering where the cable tech was and was told no one was available to come out because all the techs had gone home for the day. I was so mad and didn't understand how it was that simple and so easy for them to say that. Trying to stay calm, I then asked if they could come out Saturday then. The answer! "All the techs have a full schedule so it might not be possible, but I will see what I can do and I can call you back if you like." Yeah, I got no callback!

    I call back Saturday then Sunday to finally set up an install for next Saturday and a 40.00 credit for the missed install. I settled for that being I felt there was nothing else I could do. When I get my first bill it had two installation charges totaling 120.00. Hahaha. 60.00 per install! I was supposed to get free installation and got charged twice! I called saying I didn't get my 2-week credit, I was charged for 2 installations, and didn't get the 40.00 credit for the missed installation and my first bill is over 200.00.

I went to the service center and the rep there told me that I had a balance but he could not see the details and to call the 1-800 number. I called back and after being on the phone for 2 hours I was transferred to a collection agency that had no record of me. I called Comcast the next day and requested to speak to a supervisor. After holding on for another 45 minutes the Supervisor said he would request the bill be sent to me and that it would take 3 to 5 business days.

    I waited 5 days called back and was told by another rep that the request was that a detailed bill be sent to me after I paid the 274.00. Are you kidding me? I asked to speak to another supervisor who told me she would escalate the matter and someone would be contacting me. After a few days of no one contacting me I called back and asked to speak to a resolution specialist to which the rep responded that one would call me back within 2 hours. I got a call the next morning from a rep telling me that they would send me a bill of the previous 4 months of 2017 (not at all what I asked for). Another escalation!

    Another Supervisor called me and told me she would send an email to her boss at headquarters to which she did not know where headquarters was nor would she give me her bosses name. She informed me it would take 2 weeks to get an email response from her boss and when I told her I have been dealing with this for 3 weeks she said this is the only way to get the issue resolved. I am still waiting for a response. Worst customer service ever!

    Today, I discovered that COMCAST made an unauthorized charge for 225.33 on my bank account. After some research, it was learned that this payment was made in error by a COMCAST employee as he worked with me (telephone call, 6/13/17) to set up a payment arrangement for a future date. While a supervisor named Veronica (refused to give further identification) agreed that the notes in her system verify my story - that the payment was not authorized, that the error was made by COMCAST employee, she insists that COMCAST will not refund this charge and will not be held liable for their employee's mistake. She bases this refusal on the fact that this money was owed to COMCAST.

    I am frustrated by the fact the supervisor acknowledges that my plan to pay this amount was slated for July 1st, agrees that this is an unauthorized payment made in error by a COMCAST employee but informs me that COMCAST will keep my funds and not provide any sort of refund. Later employees were much kinder, but supported supervisor Veronica’s assertion that no refund would be made. I am hurt by the financial circumstances of this error, but outraged by the COMCAST employee’s insistence that they are able to keep my funds with or without my consent.

    In order to resolve this issue I would like any funds that were deducted from my bank account without my permission to be returned. I would like all overdrafts accrued due to this issue to be reimbursed, I would like some acknowledgement from COMCAST it is not their policy to take and keep money from customer’s bank accounts without authorization or consent.

    We own two homes, one has Comcast Xfinity and the other has Spectrum Charter. The difference in the quality of service is dramatic. When I recently called Charter for service because a storm fried our cable modem and one of the TV cable boxes, the experience was amazingly good right from the beginning. I called at 7 am, and only had to press 3 keys to get to a human being. With Comcast, it takes a lot more time and many more key selections to get to a human being. The person I was connected with was pleasant and spoke English perfectly. With Comcast, I'm usually on hold for a while and then get a person whose English is often times poor and they are robotic in their questions and answers.

    With Charter today, they immediately understood the problem, looked at where we were located and said they would send a technician to our home FOR FREE TODAY. With Comcast, they will offer to ship you (at your cost) new units or you can (for free) pick them up at a Comcast location. Either way, you have to connect and disconnect everything yourself. The last time I had a similar issue with Comcast, it took 4 days to get the new equipment and they lost the equipment I sent back (thankfully I saved the proof it was delivered). Of course they charged me for the equipment and shipping they said they would waive. Which brings me to Billing.

    I'm beyond frustrated with their bills. I'm a CPA and I find their bills and prorations confusing as hell. With 100% assurance, I can tell you that I have NEVER received a correct bill from Comcast after a change, and I can also tell you with 100% assurance the error has NEVER been in my favor, which raises suspicion that they aren't really errors. I no longer believe them when they say they will waive a fee because they don't. I no longer believe them when they say an estimated bill amount under a new plan. There are always hidden fees. This last time, they gave me an estimated monthly amount that didn't include $17/month in additional fees. They don't quote the broadcast fee or the hd fee because "they can change". So can taxes!!! People don't care that it can change... They want a real monthly number of what they can expect to pay each month. As soon as U-verse is available at our lake home, we'll drop Comcast like a hot potato.

If you want substandard internet and have hours to spend on the phone to talk in circles with customer service this might be a good option for you. I support recorded phone calls. Why are they unable to produce a transcript of the calls to verify what was discussed? Why are they unable to resend you the agreement that was emailed to you? Their notes indicate that the agreement was sent so it must be true... Please note that $250-$300 monthly bills were paid on time, every month.

I had to spend hours and hours on call, long call-wait times for customer care and finally the amount came out to be $64.99 without taxes but including what is called "broadcast" fee. As a layman, how am I supposed to be aware of this additional fee? Isn't transparency an important factor in business? Secondly, these offers are only for "new" customers and they do not, I repeat DO NOT care about existing customers. No deals or offers for them. After 12 months' usage I am required to pay $84.99 for the same package. No deal for existing customer.

I have filed a formal complaint with the FCC because Comcast is likely doing this to all new customers in an effort to force you to pay for their services that are free on either Hulu or Amazon Prime.

    I am asking the FCC to look into filing a Class Action because I am almost certain that I am not the first person this has happened.

    Comcast still has no ideas what they are doing. They offered 3 different informations to get customers??? And it turned out I got nothing but local channels which I can get from antenna!!! We didn't have options to choose providers but Comcast, they are the only one available in town I live. Worst part of all this was that even manager that I talked to, didn't have any solution over THEIR MISTAKES!!!! Worst dumb provider ever.

    I obtain services with Comcast/Xfinity back in Feb. Since I obtain services with this scammers, I was not able to use my service due to technical issues, they sent technicians twice to my house to fix the issues. After that issues was not resolve, I kept calling these jokers because I wasn't able to issues my services for over a month, tech change my equipment and problems continues. They had the guts to send me the bill for 249.50, I call and told them why they were charging me when I have not been able to use my service, I discuss with the rep, I talked to everything and when she looked in my account there were no noted that I call to complaint and to my surprise no notes that they have sent over a technician to my house... I call in Feb right after I got the service in March, April, May end and June.

    On May 26th when I call and told them I need to resolve the issues I was facing because I wasn't able to use my service why they kept billing me even though I returned all the equipment, the reply I talked to name NATE batch number 1883 told me that don't worry that they were going to disregards the charges because the issues I had... Then to my surprise on June 9th I received a phone call from collection on behalf of Comcast/Xfinity telling me to pay, I explain to the collection agency what happen they suggested me to call, so I call immediately I hang up with the collection agency. Xfinity told me that I need to pay the charges that were no notes on my account that they sent over a tech to my house and PLUS no notes about disregarding the amount they were charging me. I told them I need them to scale the case and request a recording of my phone calls, because I'm going to pursue legal charges.

    They lie to the consumers telling you they are notating the account on everything they discuss with you and it's a total LIE, they don't. The fact that they told me no technician went to my house and that no one notated the account to credit me for the charges it's a total fraud to consumers. THIS COMPANY ARE TOTAL LAIRS... When you call back problem after problem the reps don't notate the account and they tell you "Sorry we can't help you. There is no note on your account about any issues..." I'm going to pursue with legal charges for the fact that they tell you something total different and then file for collection to screw people's credit and reputation when they fail to comply...

COMCAST customer services reaction, "OH ok we are very sorry."

    I guess they do not care since they have no competition in Tallahassee. It's a shame. I have Comcast for my business and pay over $2500 mo. I will cancel that as well.

    In October of 2016, I received a call and an email from Comcast that the external cable line going into my condo was defective. There were no issues internally and the picture and functionality were perfectly fine. When I contacted them directly I was told that I would not be charged for a visit because the appointment was at their request. Regardless, I complied; made a service appointment and a tech came to my home in January 2017. When I made the appointment I asked twice if I would be charged, and I was told no. The tech disconnected one line, and when asked if he would replace it, he stated that he could not do that, he didn’t have the right equipment. I told him to put it back the way it was, and he stated that he could not do that either. I called Comcast after he left to complain, and was told to make a follow up appointment to have the line reconnected. Again, I asked if I was going to be charged, and I was told no.

    Comcast came in April 2017 and replaced the line. I called to thank Comcast for the professionalism of the tech as the visit took ten minutes. Again I asked if I would be charged for the visit, the response was no "as it was no fault of mine, I would not be charged". My direct debit billing for May 2017 contained a $60 charge for an installation fee. I called today, June 9, 2017 and spent 40 minutes on the phone with a Comcast representative. Of course, and not surprising, Rose ** “could” not help me. In the past, I have always appreciated the customer service provided by Comcast. At this point, I lost $60 and wasted three hours of phone time; but they have lost my respect and loyalty. I will never recommend them if fact I will continue to write this complaint until I receive an apology.

    I had a Comcast bundle. This included the phone, internet and cable. After being stuck in a 2yr. contract, I was able to switch to a lower bundle. I didn't need the phone. They sent me the final bill of the last contract and I almost fainted. How could it be so much and I have never been late. I have all the bills and receipts from 2015 to present. I called almost daily to get it resolved. Every time an agent gave me a date and said I didn't pay. I pulled up the receipt. They always told me they would call me back and never do. I asked them to mail me a billing history with the unpaid date circled. They never have. I and many others have been through Comcast coming up with extra amounts on your bill with no explanation.

    I'm on a limited income and pay all my bills on time to avoid getting behind. The way I figured is they charge you in advance for your services. You look like you are behind all the time, when you are not. It should not be this expensive to watch t.v. anyway. I'm done with them. They're BAD for my health.

I got nowhere with talking to Comcast. Had nothing but problems with internet services. Just to call and sit on the line for hours. Call over and over. I got tired of having to call. In one month my bill jumped 40.00 dollars, the next 5 more. After a 80.00 dollars increase, I said I have had enough. Am switching to EPB and all my family has and they all say nothing but good things.

    So Comcast when you have good customer maybe you should try working with them or giving them what you offer new ones. Very disappointed with Comcast.

Since she was building a new home she told them to just use the credit on future charges. In April of 2017 we moved in. Against my wishes she decided to use Comcast again and they installed both, tv and Internet service. Over the last two months she has spent countless hours on the phone and on three separate occasions she has been told the problem has been identified and would be fixed. They say we owe over $500 with no acknowledgment of the existing credit. Today they pulled the switch on the TV. Can nothing be done about their incompetence? I thought AT&T Texas was bad. Comcast resides in a lower level of Dante's hell. Though the credit still exists and it is recognized, the fixers don't communicate with billing. So sad.

    I have been a Comcast customer for a long time. Mainly because aside from DirecTV and Dish they were the only other cable around. I am absolutely disgusted with them. I switched our phone and internet over to a business acct recently. I was not aware until a few weeks ago that not only was I paying for home security (which is a bad joke) that I had cancelled 6 months prior they also messed up and never cancelled the phone and internet on the residential account. So not only was I paying security that was cancelled I was also paying internet x2 and phone x2. I knew my bills were both really high but never had time to really look into it. So we called and thought they were going to finally fix it after trying to explain to at least 8 different people. They put a credit on our account for all the months we were overpaying. Said they had to send a tech out to replace the boxes. I didn't question it enough clearly. They guy was literally here from 5 - 1030 pm.

    We go to watch TV the next day only to find out they knocked us down to boxes that won't let us watch On Demand or DVR. I was livid. I went to the store locally. Was given a "temp" box and upgraded. Was made to agree to pay $40 for another tech to come back out within a few days of the last one. The day before the appt I get a call saying I would have to pay $100 deposit for the upgrade since my acct was late within the last 6 months. Well hmmm you're double dipping on phone and internet yet you want another $100. Are they crazy? So I have been going back and forth with them over messages on FB for 2 weeks now. Still don't have working cable. I refuse to pay a deposit or for someone to come out. This wasn't my mistake. So today I finally told them to just send me a check for the credits and I will go elsewhere.

    This guy tells me, "We are sorry to see you go". Sorry to see me go? Really I couldn't tell. Most companies would want to make it right and not lose a customer who uses you for residential and business. They treat their customers like crap and when you call to speak to someone it's always someone in another country who hardly speaks English. I even asked for a supervisor in the US and still ended up with someone in another country. I HATE them! I've never dealt with such a horrible company!

    I have been having an issue with Comcast for over a year now. The internet connection drops randomly throughout the day or night. I have spent countless time and calls to support. Had multiple technicians to my house with no real fix. The phone technician said the issue was because I was using a 2.0 DOCSIS modem and that I needed to upgrade to a 3.0. I did that and still had the same issue. The technician that came out months ago said there was a large amount of interference at the lines. He did nothing but what all the others have ever done, cut the ends of my now very short lines and put new tips on. He also put a 4 way CommScope splitter on my line and said the megahertz were too high.

    I worked with Jasmine (Phone **) from the corporate office and a level 3 technician in Colorado (888-824-8988 ext. **). My billing is constantly wrong, what is promised never comes to fruition, and I have been charged for services or hardware I did not approve or even have. The last phone tech I spoke blamed my router without doing any troubleshooting. This is very typical of Comcast. To blame any hardware that is not theirs. Carlos was the last technician that came out and I have dealt with. He came out, did not fix issue, gave me his number ** and said to call him with any issues. All he did was tell me what I already knew, there was feedback coming from the lines outside. He cut my lines tips again, making them even shorter and put a 2-way CommScope splitter on my line.

    He asked me to call him if I had any issues after he left. I called him once a week for two weeks right after he left. I left him a voicemail each time with no returned call. I called Comcast today and they will not correct my new bill that they completely messed up. It should be $29 a month for 25mbps and they are charging me $128.55. They will not change it at this time. I called about a month ago to have my speed lowered from 75mbps to 25mbps and price lowered to $29 a month for one year because they would not honor my old rate of $39 a month for 75mbps. They never locked the price in (This has happened before) and the representative today said he could lower my speed to 5mbps. He refused to let me speak with management throughout the call after I asked multiple times.

    I called Jasmine and the level 3 tech today and left them voicemails. I am also not getting the speeds promised and that I am paying for. They are averaging about half. I will file complaints with as many places as possible. I have been told they have records of each time my connection drops, when I do a speed test on their website, and all my calls. The internet connection dropped while I was writing this complaint.

About to tell them to stuff it and sign up for satellite tv/internet.

    I am not really happy with Comcast because I feel I pay way too much for the number of channels I actually watch. I have basic which is comprised of more than 60 channels out of which I only watch a total of about a dozen. So I feel like I am paying 4 to 5 times as much as I would like to pay. Unfortunately 'ala carte' is not an option. Another thing is that they removed the preview guide channel from basic and in order to find programming. I have to surf via the remote and that is really annoying! My cable is combined with my internet, which I really do like having and that is the only plus to having cable at all.

    I am writing this review after speaking to people at corporate headquarters twice in a six-month period. Comcast actually sent a crew of three supervisors to my home to keep me with them after the latest incident, a talk which lasted for three hours where I was promised my service would be cut 50% in cost. We will get back to that. I have had Comcast since 1999. The only other option available in our area was RCN until about a year ago, when Verizon came to town, which I am switching to tomorrow. I call Comcast Customer Service on average of three times a month. Because of my work schedule, I typically speak with someone from the Philippines, where they speak English, but when you give them your issue, they then ask you if you're having said issue at least 30 times as if you're speaking to your three year old when he's throwing a temper tantrum.

    Recently, Comcast was going to "fix my service". They came to the house in a team of three, got mud all over our new carpet and fixed nothing. This is the typical Comcast experience. I called and another "advanced technician" was sent out. He was **. Before someone reads this and tosses in a political view, I'm a ** guy too. He looked at the wiring and asked, "Let me guess, ** did this"? WOW. Use that word all you want at home or with your buddies, but at work? Probably not a good idea. Asked him to leave and called Comcast. I told them between their awful service and having a guy speak like that in my house I'd like to cancel. They sent out three people.

    Those three people promised my bill would come down from $275 to $125 a month and that the guy was harshly dealt with. Frankly, at this point I had dealt with 17 years of Comcast's chicanery. I just wanted out. They told me if I got out, I'd have to pay an early termination fee. I was then given the option of three DVRs, a $150 discount per month, a $600 credit, every channel available, no contract and three hours of butt kissing. I stayed.

    Our next bill? $277. $137 in fees. Also, they put me BACK ON A CONTRACT FOR TWO YEARS. I spoke to the assistant to the VP of Customer Relations for Comcast. He essentially told me that while the racism was unfortunate and treatment was horrendous, I could pay them and the termination fee. I let them know, they could pry the final bill and termination fee from my cold, dead fingers. They get two stars because you get a clear picture and a lot of movies, when it's actually working. Also, the 200,000 over 15 speed they offer? It tested 17,000 over 12 consistently on Ookla, Speakeasy and Comcast's own speed test sites.

    Tomorrow, I'll have Verizon. Total bill with FEES AND TAXES? $118.27. HBO included for the wife. No contract. Internet speed at a number I can't fully comprehend. Will I miss 500 channels I couldn't care about? Yes. Will I save $170 and wanting to kill people in the process? Yes. Stay away from Comcast. They're the neighborhood bully that knows they can beat you down. Living in Philadelphia makes it so much more disgusting to deal with them. Seeing their towers makes me vomit these days.

    I moved from one property to another on the same street in June 2013 and moved my Comcast's account and equipment as well. The company sent their technicians, installed and started billing me on the new address right away. In the last quarter of last year I get an aggressive call from a collection company called IC Systems indicating that they had a bill pending from Comcast on my previous address for USD 1.032. I answered that this wasn't possible as I closed the account and moved with them to a new property 3 years ago. Then I called Comcast informing them about this, explaining the same and I also called the collection agency after receiving threatening letters trying to collect the amount.

    I called numerous times both IC Systems and Comcast, both of them saying on every occasion that they would look into the matter and solve it. Finally IC Systems reported the case to the credit rating agencies, affecting my score (Which by the time was Excellent and is now Weak) and telling me in February that they talked to Comcast and the amount was pending. We finally were able to get a Comcast executive to take this seriously, solve the matter and a letter from IC Systems to dismiss the pending amount, recognizing their mistake. Now I am in the situation that my credit score is affected with the three major credit rating agencies and I need to call them one by one to try to explain and solve this matter... It's a pity that Comcast, having a good cable and Internet service, manages their customer relations so poorly, ruining all the work which I suppose a lot of people do in the company to be this way.

    I agree with some of the posts in reference to billing. I hope before people purchase this product they will read these complaints. First I do not agree with having a two-year agreement with only a one year price lock. Check out AT&T U-verse it is just the opposite. I was never told how much the early termination fee was. Nonetheless the bill went up so much after the first year it was not affordable. However I did pay it but after almost 2 years I said no more and I called to reduce services to lower the bill. Apparently that automatically extended the agreement another two years but again was never told. The channel lineup for minimum is exactly what it says minimum and still expensive so I switched to U-verse which gave me the U300 package that included Showtime, a couple of more movie channels, all the equipment high-speed, two DVRs and phone for $113 a month plus tax.

    I had called to cancel Comcast and was informed that I had this $200 early termination fee and I said, "Absolutely not". I was not told anything about that or a two-year extension. The woman said that they record all phone calls and I said, "That's not a problem. Play it back I'm waiting." Of course she couldn't so went to a supervisor or just put me on hold and filed her nails whatever and came back and said, "OK we'll agree to a $50 termination fee. Wasn't worth the arguing and I agreed to it. I recommend everybody getting the app called TapeACall or one similar. I called back again to confirm the termination fee of only $50 and it was confirmed by another lady. Of course I taped that call. I kept getting bills for the full termination fee and then when I called back some rude girl said that "no one up here has the authority to waive or reduce early termination fees and that includes supervisors".

    When I told her I had recorded the call stating that she said she didn't care and I would be responsible for the full amount. I called the corporate headquarters in Philadelphia and spoke to the executive office and the lady there told me she sees in the notes that I was promised a $50 early termination fee but because of the credit on my account from having paid the last bill in full I only had a $20 balance and she would write it off because of all the problems. That didn't happen and I continued to get bills so I just sent the $20 to the CEO Brian Roberts asking him the promise once they cash check they never bother me again. End of the story... I feel they are extremely overpriced and I would never recommend any kind of two-year commitment with these people and I would always record your conversation.

    Comcast/Xfinity is a good option for internet. The channel selections are comparable to other companies (not a big fan of having to get channels I don't or won't watch). Biggest complaint is the lack of knowledge the technicians have on how to set up the systems and how to make sure that the home or office is capable of accommodating the services being offered. These are basic things like the correct cabling, terminations, fittings and proper splitters.

    First off let me start by saying Comcast/Xfinity whatever or whichever name they use suck! I required cable and internet service, so at first I had a different provider from Comcast, they were ok I really didn't have any complaint it's just that I had Dial Up Internet but I felt maybe I could use something faster, so I left the one provider to go to Comcast. OH BOY what a big mistake I made, so here is the story: I called up Comcast and spoke to someone and of course they tell you everything you want to hear just to get you so they got me. I got a simple package internet, tv, free HBO and HD channels. A few weeks after they came to set me up the internet wasn't working so they had to come out. It worked but it wasn't reaching the upper part of my house, so they had to come back out again then they said "Oh it's your area" so I bought a new modem/router so it can reach upstairs and it also deducted $10 off or my account.

    I was happy my bill lowered. Then a month later my bill went back up. I called asking what is going on they said they had to add other fees about some kind of broadcasting fee. Then they tell me I have to pay extra for my HD channels, but the guy who offered this to me never said that would happen and he also told me the router/modem price would be waved but as you see that didn't happen. The next thing that happen was my internet was acting funnier than usual. It wasn't working right just for my iPad so I went online to see what I can see, so when I really take a look Comcast Caps your internet usage (They limit how much you can use) I called to complain and they did not deny it. So my bill started off at $73 and since they have tacked on all kinds of fees which I never had before.

    My bill is now $116. I'm just blown away. I'm trying to ask these people for help telling them I am on a fixed income they have no care in the world. So my only choice is to go back to the other provider that treats their customers like that want to keep them. I can't even understand half of the things they have on my bill, I just know they rip people off by taking on all kinds of things without notice. PLEASE BEWARE! I regret having their service. If I could have gave a half star I would have!

    We just received a new customer installation on 5-2-17. The installer told us he was running all new lines because they do not use old lines. The existing condition of the house was not discussed as to what lines were already in place. I was charged $60 for an installation of 4 TV's and a modem. He also told me he is not allowed to install splitters because they drop the signal. He said this because I asked him to split a line so I could move 1 TV to my patio where one line he installed passed right by the location of the wall bracket on the patio. The installer decided to use one existing line going to my living room which happens to be the main line for the DVR and modem location. He then put a splitter in this location (which he just told me he couldn't do) for the modem.

    The problem we are now experiencing is only a download speed of 42.6 mbps when we are paying for "up to 150". Comcast's next lower package includes speeds "up to 75 mbps". After calling Comcast they reset the signal and the same speed is being received. We explained everything to a girl (who was very rude) and then to a supervisor (who became rude as well) and the reply we got is their speeds are not guaranteed. We are also being told if we need an additional line ran to our modem then we will have to pay for it. This makes no sense because they did not know what lines were here to begin with.

    If there was no line going into the living room the installer would have run one. If the signal is being affected by the splitter it should not have been installed. The supervisor Thomas, refuses to accept that fact and tells me that there is no guaranty on the speed we will receive regardless of the fact that it is less than a third of what we are being charged for and almost half of the next lower package. As we ended our call this issue was left unresolved.

I was told tech "should" call about 10:30 am, not arrive but call. How unprofessional is that?
