Absolutely horrid customer service. I tried chatting to get a response on moving my service... The person could not even understand what I was trying to accomplish. I had to call and then explain it to another 3 other people. Finally, I got a response that told me a tech would come out to my house. Never happened. No callback or follow-up. Tried again today. Once again, the out-of-country customer service group could not help. Tried to call, but got nowhere. I have the transcripts of the reps who kept asking the same questions over and over again. The only reason companies like this are in business is because there are NO alternatives.

Dishonest... Long waits, coax you into contracts. Misleads, if an existing customer, to lower your service. They charge you an ungodly monthly fee. For that service you get the run around and someone you can't understand. Forever... just to frustrate you into giving up. Bad overall system. T.V. blows any way... brainwashing despicable junk to control one's mind. Where's the system where one can order what they choose to view only. Pick and choose channels and without commercials. Oh that's right. Forcing what we see...

I signed up for a YEAR for the internet at $19.99. Now they have jacked up my rate to $24.99. I have called 3 times and talked to their people in Philippines who understand my problem because they are customers too and dance around the issue by asking and telling me stupid things but answer and fix my problem. To top it Comcast wants to do a survey of how happy I am. Comcast has no integrity, liars and do anything to not honor what they agreed when you sign up. If you break the contract they send it for collections and hurt your records for their stealing games and no one cares about it to fix them with a heavy fine for every time they screw a customer.

When will COMCAST keep to their promotional promises? Moved house to a new location but Comcast needs 4 working days to send a tech? What kind of service level is that? Customer service has no option to prioritize services but sign up the next available appointment.

First, Comcast is illegally recording all telephone calls from and to consumers without the customer being informed as required by law. When I have spoken to a security agent at Comcast, he repeatedly told me that there is a disclaimer stating that the conversation may be recorded for training purposes. I told the security agent that this was a blatant lie, yet he continued to spew the message. I have had at least fifty phone calls to Comcast, and not once was there a message of any kind as to recording customers phone calls. I know this is a fact because when I have called (numerous times at least fifty) I asked her or him to review the files. And they have gone back to recordings of my conversations with various agents, and stated exactly what both I and the agent discussed.
This is a federal crime that Comcast is committing, and even their key level executives will not respond to my letters. And, should one phone the corporate office, one only gets a recording. The most unprofessional company, I have ever dealt with, and I am a former Executive Vice President with a Billion Dollar Company. Something must finally be done to at least warn consumers of their unethical and criminal behavior. Consumers deserve far better than this.

I feel impotent toward the experience with this people. First when you need to solve a problem and with all the money they make they send you to India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico even Cuba. I couldn't believe this... They don't know to solve anything and they try to distract you so you get tire or give up and do what they want. They are abusive. They are suppose to tell you where they are talking from and they tell you from Tallahassee, some of them when you ask them how is the weather they say they don't know because they are inside, I told them I didn't know they live there without going out.
The main thing is they over charge me, and you always pay ahead of time so I try to fix the problem. I even pay ahead of time they charge and then 2 days later charge you again, they are thief and they are scamming so they don't know what are doing. I told them to take the telf away, they say they will take it this Monday and they cancel 4 days before. You lose with them badly. I wish I could do more but I hope this will be a lesson for anyone that decide what Internet or TV would like to go with, it is even worth to know before you move, they get the area or zip code where you live and no one else can go into.

If I could have rated no stars, that's what I would have done. My brother and I spent two days, over four hours talking to almost ten people including a supervisor. Not only did they lie about the fact they "don't notate" our account along with the amount we needed to pay to get our services restored they also lied about someone calling us back. The guy that was collecting the payment for us that failed to mention a hidden "collection fee", the fact they also charge to reactivate the account, the amount that was past due for the last couple months which in turn had a remaining balance that carried over for months but they also lied about being able to help us.
We went through hours of being put on hold, hung up on (even though they promised not to do so), lied to, transferred around to all sorts of foreign agents and departments that we could barely understand and had such a language barrier. They felt the need to repeat themselves so many times we got the impression they thought we were stupid. I am shocked neither one of us broke our phones due to frustration.
I have always had an issue with the customer service for well over ten years now but this tops the cake. In the past there has always been that one agent or supervisor that has managed to be helpful and genuinely seemed to give a **. This time around we clearly didn't matter. My brother and I have gone through all of this. We have come to the conclusion that other cable services could charge three times as much and we will NEVER, EVER go back to Comcast. Oh, and on another note... in order to cancel your service you have to physically turn in your equipment and then they will proceed. Comcast is a joke and I hope this review helps customers in the future. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

I was charged $70 for a pay per view event that I did not order. It was explained to me that some kind of error caused this to be charged. If I wasn't paying close attention to my bill I would have never noticed it. This is not the first time mysterious charges have shown up on my bill, this has happened many times in the past, and I check my bill almost weekly because of it. I also had an issue a while back where they kept sending my cable boxes for no reason and then charging me for them, I received 4 of them in error and they refused to refund the charges for additional boxes. If I had another internet choice in my neighborhood I would go with it in a heartbeat because I have been abused by this company.

I've had a cable line for my entire cul de sac running through the middle of my side and back yards for more than 3 weeks. I've been forced to move this cable NUMEROUS times in order to cut my grass. This cable is nowhere near the utility easement and they DO NOT have my permission to have the cable running through my yard. I've called customer service daily for the past 2 days and have been told that I would receive a call back to inform me when the cable would be moved/buried within an hour. Not surprisingly, I haven't received a single call back from Comcast and the line has not been moved or buried. Additionally, I signified that I would take the customer service survey following my most recent call to customer service. The survey consisted of one question. I was asked about my overall satisfaction but after entering a low score, the survey was terminated... Terminated after one question because of a negative score... Unreal!

I have been using Comcast for a couple years now. I have always had auto-pay set up so I don't have to worry about it. I always do a quick check of the emails I receive monthly from them for "warnings" if there is a problem with payments. I was just charged a late fee on my account for a missed payment. Interesting... I never got an email regarding a missed payment to my email that I had registered on file. I never got an email regarding an expired card. I never got an email that my auto-pay was turned off. (I have all the warning email notifications turned on to make sure I get information about those types of issues.)
I logged onto my account and sure enough the auto-pay feature was turned off. Why? I'm the only one that goes into that account. I am diligent in updating my cards on all auto-pay accounts as soon as I get new cards to ensure the expiration dates are correct. As I mentioned earlier, I check my emails. After speaking with the representative, he said read the last 4 digits of the card on file and said it was expired. Interesting... It was the same card I had in my hand, but the one in my hand was not expired. Note: my bank always changes one of the numbers in the last 4 digits when they issue a new card, and the last change was an obvious enough change in the expiration date it would be hard to fat-finger the wrong date.
The representative also said they did send me an email to notify me of the expired card... To an email address I do own, but never had registered with this Comcast account. After some back and forth, he agreed to take off the late payment if I would make a payment and update my card. I wasn't about to read it to him over the phone. I told him I would update it online and make the payment online. Interesting thing when I went into my account... My card number and expiration date were the same as the current one in my hand. The email address I had registered to my account was the correct one. So, is this some sort of scam to get an extra $10 from people or what?

Knowing that I will be moving within a two week period, I contacted Comcast to make sure that my services would be transferred to my new address. I had had terrible experience with previous moves. After speaking to four different agents, during this two week period and promises that I would receive a callback, nothing happened until I got so irritated and asked for a supervisor. Of course, no supervisor ever appeared because they do not have supervisors. The staff wings it to see how they can get rid of the customer. I had to threaten them with death in order to get a response. Especially where the HOA supplies the internet and cable connection.
They know they will receive their monies whether the consumer is satisfied or not. Worst company ever for having capable staff who can handle customer complaints. It appears that these people were pulled off the street, sat at a desk and told go for it. No training, no product knowledge just keep people on the phone for at least 45 minutes and then promise them anything to get rid of them. Ridiculous for a communication company not to be able to communicate. How do they stay in business. Oh, yes, advertising. (Which is a lie).

I paid my final bill three weeks ago and there was a $150 Early Termination Fee. I spoke with the lady and told her that I had Comcast at the new place I moved to and I was an authorized user. She looked up the account and said "yes, I can see that. I will credit the account." One week later another phone call from their collections agency stating they did not credit the amount.
I called today and was passed around and given an incorrect phone number. I finally spoke with a rep and the first thing she said was "I see you have a $150 charge, how would you like to pay that". I went through what I was told and she said, "you were in a two-year contract that you signed on... Day etc." I asked her to transfer me to a supervisor, she said that they would not do anything for me and I needed to speak with someone in another department, she transferred me to sales... They transferred me back. I finally ask for a supervisor and the girl was rude and irritated. She spoke with the supervisor before getting on the phone and he started out "I see you have a $150 charge..."
Unbelievable!!! I asked him if he would like to know why I asked for him (it didn't matter, he'd made up his mind before I got on the phone). He even put in my file that I owe this amount and not to waive it. This is terrible customer service. I am really upset, but what can I do. They don't care about their customers, and I was lied to by the woman I paid my final bill to... Sad. Just beware, and I know many people don't have a lot of choices since Comcast has a monopoly in this area :-(

They constantly raise pricing. This year a 15% increase and they have no competition here in Southampton. I'd like to know what keeps other companies from offering services here? Also why they can't tell you exactly what the cost will be per month. They claim it all depends on the extra cost of taxes and etc. added on at the end of the bill. Any other service like cellphone will tell you what your cost will be per month for example.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with Comcast. Because of this I simply had an Antenna put on my roof and I'm satisfied with local TV channels. However, I have a disabled brother who watches a lot of TV so I researched the current deals on the web and found 100+ channels for $19.99 a month for twelve months and then $29.99 thereafter. So I ordered this to be installed at my brother's apartment. Then when I read the email Comcast sent with the order details it said it was $34.99 a month after twelve months. So I called and requested my original deal. Instead the guy put me in local channels only for $18 something a month. My brother does not need this because he has a building antenna so there's no reason to pay for this. So I called back a second time and tried to get my original deal back but now the price was $39.99 after twelve months. I had already trashed the email so they wouldn't give me even the $34.99 after 12 months deal.
Also the package is 50 channels, not 100. I showed the agent the website stating the deal as 100 channels and she didn't know what to say other than it's a mistake and agreed that it was misleading. I went ahead and ordered this same deal except now at the higher price of $39.99 after 12 months. We discussed bait and switch but this agent wasn't allowed to give me anything except the current deal. She said maybe you have to order online for the better price but the site said to call and there was no link for ordering online. I will never have Comcast myself and my brother can only have Comcast in his building so I will be forced to put up with this bad company until my brother passes. Sad.

My bill goes up substantially and my service is the same & lost features included, HD became chargeable. It started at $79.99, went to $98, now it's 149. I had HBO AND THE "BEST" internet speed. I called Corporate for an explanation. A Manager called me and said that my "best" speed”, that I have been charged for is now not the "best speed". Fixed that now my bill is $149.95 for digital preferred double play, I have one box and one remote. I have had it! The price is NOT WORTH IT. THE $149 DOES NOT INCLUDE HBO. I LIVE IN A HYDE PROPERTIES THAT WON'T ALLOW VERIZON IN. I have asked numerous times even gave them a regional manager who would like to meet with them.

I am moving to Florida and trying to get service at our new house. I have visited customer service center twice each time spending hours of time and multiple phone calls without any resolution to start up the new service. The customer representatives at the center or on the phone are unprofessional. Almost looks like someone picked up from the street and put on the job. This type of behavior must be known to the management but due to monopoly in the business and control over the service in south Florida this type of behavior allows the company to stay in business. Top management must be also of the same mindset as I have not seen any moves to improve except using media to cover up their incompetencies. Only corrective action I see is to break up Comcast's monopoly in the business and create competition. One should not forget the good old Bell lab history with the phone service.

I have this cable company for a year now and to be honest I don't understand how people complain so much. On my case I never had trouble to talk to someone in the Xfinity and I had only ONE trouble that they fix and they give me money-back for the day that I could not see my TV, the guy that came were very professional and fix it in less then 15 min. I wish we could take back to where we move but they don't serve that area. I will said that my experience was awesome and, that people sometimes need to take a step back, calm down, be polite and stuff will be resolved.

I pay my 95 yr old Nona's bills for her. She lives on less than $900 a month. She had basic cable at 29.99 a month promotion. She watches her soap, Wheel of Fortune, and Jeopardy. Every spring she wants (needs) to watch her Detroit Tiger baseball. Around 9 am-ish, on April 3rd, I called Comcast. A man named Izaak quoted an additional $9.99 to her current price of $29.99 plus taxes. That price was verified 3 times. I had to call Comcast again. FSN channel wasn't on. The young lady I spoke with turned it on and verified price.
I later looked at my email from Comcast and the price was $80 something. We were charged HD cable boxes (do not have) upgrade charge and after numerous calls just discovered she has a 12 month contract also. NEVER AGREED TO THIS. We can downgrade before 30 days but will pay more to go back to original basic cable. Why Nona is dedicated to Comcast I don't know. 30 plus years. COMCAST NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON A QUOTE!!! This isn't the first time, look at all the notes on the account for 2016. Comcast is a nightmare. I do not and would never do business with them. Lowballing is illegal???

My account is was on snowbird in Maryland. I call to change that since my bill was going to go up. 4 calls and each time the bill was different. But I told them each time what I expected for services. An HD charge was still there I asked to be taken off twice, an HBO charge was still on there I asked to be taken off twice and my triple play was quoted as $89.99 but I was charged $99.99. So now I have a previous balance that didn't tell me my snowbird was done until of course the real bill showed up, and extra home visit showed up the second call for porting a number and no one was making an visit because no one is at that house.
In short Comcast/Xfinity creates hostility with their customers because of their inept customer service. The sad part is my hands are tied and Comcast is the only one in town. My service rep who was a supervisor Cheryl, said if my bill is incorrect this time I could call. He and she gave me her number but unfortunately, I have to wait a month to see another bill from Comcast's extremely incapable service.

I am just writing to complain. Something that I despise doing because I am a very basic and simple person. Easily satisfied. But one thing that gets under my skin and will quickly destroy my trust and confidence in a person or company, is when I am lied to. I do not have the patience or tolerance for lies and I think it is extremely important that you are aware of my experience and I hope it helps in the training and development of your employees.
I transferred service from one address to another back in July of 2016. Very simple. The technician brought in some HD boxes and I told him I do not use HD services and I do not need those boxes as I have and want to continue using my old standard ones. He told me that I could not have them and that these are the standard boxes everyone uses now. That was the first lie. To make a long story short, I believed him and discovered that I was paying extra money for these boxes for almost a year for a service I did not use and I specifically said I did not want.
When I changed my package last week, the representative over the phone said that I would have to turn in those boxes for the standard ones and I would get one standard box and one DTA. I said, "I do not want a DTA box because they are limited in what they display and what you have access to in terms of channels". The rep over the phone said "no, they work exactly the same". I said "can't I just keep these boxes and you just disable the HD service?" She said "no you have to return the equipment". This was the second lie and third lie. I said I am temporarily disabled & wanted to get someone to pick up these boxes since it was not my fault and I was given misinformation and you guys took my money for a service I specifically said I did not need or want and she said they would charge me $60 to do so.
So I got a ride and went to the facility the rep told me to go to on 4851 N. Milwaukee which took me 30 minutes plus gas and mileage to get there and it turned out to closed! I had to go close to downtown to get to another location and that took me over an hour and 15 minutes and I waited for 30 minutes and when I got there, the rep said that the DTA box DOES have limits just like I said and he also said I did not have to return these boxes, that he will just remove the HD service! Now I wasted my day with about almost 4 hours plus the gas and mileage and physical pain it was for me to travel all for nothing and all in vain!
The representative that I called said to use an email to file the complaint and it was incorrect. She gave me some bogus Care_thankyou@Comcast.net. Retention just argued with me and read from a script. I have been a loyal customer for 25 years. Never defaulted or was late with my bills. I have been a loyal existing customer with this account for the last 8 yrs. I have never been late, I pay my bills on time or early and I never carry over a balance. For the first time in 25 yrs, I am going to start considering other companies for my cable and internet solutions.
I do not need to rant on anymore about you needing to develop your reps better or that you need to improve on your customer service. My story should be enough on where you dropped the ball and what you need to do to restore the business relationship between me and Comcast. My mother in law who lives upstairs from my building actually already left for another company because of my experience. Technology and life and businesses change and multiple choices are becoming available for customers more than ever!

We attempted to save money and switch from Dish to Comcast for TV. Most of the channels were Hispanic channels plus the DVR only worked on one TV. Unless you pay $9.95 a month for boxes in other rooms. By the time we were done paying for our TV, internet and renting boxes for Wi-Fi and our other TVs we weren't saving any money and the channel lineup was terrible. We went to cancel today. I was the one that set up the TV service. I was then told I didn't have authorization on the account. I am married. We both have authorization on the account. Thankfully my husband was home to cancel the service.
We just wanted to go back to our internet service at the price we paid. He wanted to charge us $89 a month instead of $64 a month. He offered to give us the boxes we needed to keep TV and internet at a $15 discount. But told me he didn't have the authority to give me the price on my internet that I was paying "Because it wasn't a bundle." Although I had called two days earlier to cancel and was offered the $64 price. He had "no notification of this." We cancelled everything and will have to figure out someone else for internet service. Very disappointed in the customer service at Comcast.

I have not been a Comcast customer for at least 8 years. Almost 4 years ago, my identity was stolen and a fraudulent account was opened under my name in a neighborhood I've never been to, let alone lived in. I had no idea about the account until debt collectors started calling my house several months after service was shut off. I filed a police report then called Comcast to sort it out. They told me I had to fill out a packet of paperwork and send it into their fraud department and it would be taken care of. This is after speaking to several people about the issue and being transferred around on the phone. I sent the packet of paperwork off and things were quiet for several months. Then this week I get an email from Experian that my credit score dropped and I have a new debt showing up on my report. When I looked into it, it was the same Comcast account from before.
I called the debt collectors again and explained it was fraud and that Comcast should have taken care of this. They transferred me to Comcast who had no idea what happened to the paperwork I sent in previously. They told me that I had to re-do all of the paperwork and send it back in after having it notarized and wait for confirmation from them. I am disgusted with the way this situation was handled. I don't understand how an account was even opened in my name without anyone verifying who the person at the address actually was. And now as the victim of identity theft, I have to do all the leg work to prove that it wasn't me and that they didn't do their job.

Sanita from Comcast called me today after I contacted the BBB with issues yesterday. Yesterday I spoke with two reps and asked to speak with management. They both hung up on me before helping me with my issue. Today after speaking with Sanita nothing was resolved. Granted my payment was past due to financial hardship. However as I explained to both the reps. from yesterday as well as to Sanita today that my account is not yet in collections. I want to make things right and pay at least half payment of my balance which is $181.00 and I can pay the remaining balance on the 20th. She state that if I cannot pay the full amount of $361.88 my account will go to collections as of tomorrow. I explained over and over that I do not have the funds.
Yesterday it was explained to me that my account is $900 because I have yet to return my equipment. Which will be return on Thursday my off day. Once the equipment is returned my balance will be $361.88. Today Ms. Sanita states that she is here to state the facts and the fact is there is no equipment fee on my account. My account is being charged for an early termination fee for my alarm system. However my alarm system is still connected as of today and my account is not in collections. So how can they charge me early termination fee for active service. She states that she don’t know why the service is still active because it is not active in Comcast system. I told her that I will be reaching out to you guy because my issues is not yet resolved. Ms. Sanita then states that it really don't matter who I contact, all calls will be routed back to her.
I am just try to make a partial payment return equipment that is not being used on my account. And everybody wins. I'm still a customer, they are paid and I still keep my services that are being used. I have been a customer with this company for the last 3 1/2 to 4 years and can you believe the 1st time I have a real hardship the company just turn their backs like they haven't been receiving payments from me for the last 3 1/2 years. Companies are not about helping their anymore and making sure their customers are 100% satiated. Companies today are all about making money and not about helping the consumers that made their company.

Saturday morning cable guy shows up. I open the gate for him to come into the complex after numerous phone calls. He tells me I need to come out and open the gate as it won't open for him. I go down to the parking lot. He is not at the main gate but the side gate. He walks into my apartment, looks at me and says "I have no idea why I am here. What do I need to do"... then looks at my tv on my wall and says, "I can't hook up cable to it. It needs to be on the floor." I tell him to leave.
XFINITY calls me and sets up another appointment for today. Different tech comes in... actually has tools with him. The first Tech had no tools, just his cell phone. Things are looking good??? Then he tells me he can't hook up cable as there is none in my building. He leaves. I go down to the office. The manager tells me she talked to him when he stopped into the office. She told him the whole complex (which is new) is set up for XFINITY cable. I call XFINITY, talk to the Supervisor. He tells me I cancelled my appointment today and rescheduled it for Tuesday between 5-7 Umm no I did not!!!
The Supervisor tells me he has to believe what the Tech wrote... and that someone will be out on Tuesday. But he understands my concern. So the Tech filled out a report and lied and said I rescheduled my appointment. Now why would I reschedule my appointment if there is no service out here and the cable guy is in my apartment. Where is the record of me calling to reschedule my appointment. So I say to the Supervisor, "So magically on Tuesday you will have cable in the apartment complex that the Tech told me is not here. Oh wait you did just tell me I could not get an appointment for cable if it was not available where I live as your company checks to make sure cable is offered before scheduling an appointment but you understand my concern."
I was also told by the Salesman who originally set me up for my first appointment to call his cell phone if I had any issues at all. Oh what a surprise I got his voice mail when I called his phone and he never returned my call.

Salesman never said TV needs to be on floor! Tech #2. "Cable is not available in your apartment complex." Then why did your company tell me it is available where I live? Tech #3. "Oh it's a new apartment complex. You don't have cable service." Apartment Manager... "then who the hell did I give the key to to work in the Maintenance Room." Tech #4. "Oh you have Fiber Optics. I don't have the tools to work with Fiber Optics. They are too expensive." FIRE HIS ASS! AT&T will have my business from now on because down here in Miami the techs that work for this company are a total joke... Need a paycheck but don't want to work... Get a job with Comcast/Xfinity!

This company will still charge you lease fee even though you didn't leased a modem from them. The worst company I have ever dealt with compare to all the companies I had service with. Called three time and was told that the lease charge will be taken off but has never happened. The whole customer service department especially technical support stinks. You don't tell customers something and not follow up with it. Stay away at all cause!

We switched to Comcast from Dish for lower rates despite having very good service with Dish. The Comcast experience has been filled with lost or bad connections, equipment failures and technician mistakes. But the last week has moved me to leave a review: Day one - a technician came to fix a problem with a modem, which he appeared to do by running a new cable. Day two - A technician responding to our neighbor's loss of service discovered that the previous technician fixed our problem by connecting the new cable to our neighbor's port in the cable box. Somehow the second technician, after reconnecting our neighbor, fixed our problem with the use of splitters.
Day six - Our service has been working nicely, but two men showed up unexpectedly to bury our cable. They ran yet another cable, buried it, and left, without our knowledge, fully aware that they had somehow disconnected our TV service. Day seven - Will bring the fourth technician visit in seven days. Who knows how they'll leave things. My expectations aren't very high. We'll be returning to Dish when our Comcast contract finally terminates next month.

I have been with Comcast for 8 years, every couple of years they jack the price 30 or 40 dollars a month until I complain. Then when I have had problems they send out a service tech, who has changed out equipment but evidently do not scan it back in since they show I still have it? I do not. Now all of a sudden they show I owe for an extra month $170.00. I have never missed a payment and have 8 years of receipts to prove it, they try to tell me it's a balance, a balance for what, they cannot tell me that? Comcast is a greedy company full of crooks.

It is very frustrating knowing that I spent another hour trying to resolve the "blank screen" error, "cannot connect" error, "disconnect and wait 10 seconds" error, etc again. I can honestly say that I have had 4 service calls and a 5th one scheduled. The technicians say that it is the outside lines, the outside technicians say it is my inside lines. I personally do not care where the lines are located, I would really like everything fixed. I find it very disturbing that they can tell me I have 12 months left in my contract and cannot get out. But miraculously they are allowed to raise the prices because they notified me 30 days in advance of a price increase (even though the service is not as described).
The customer service team believes that I have all the time in the world to spend with them crawling around on the ground unhooking things and plugging them back in. Then they are amazed when they find that because they said it would work (and it didn't) that they are having a hard time scheduling a tech for my area. It is disheartening that no other provider is available in the area. BRUTAL!!! Thank you XFINITY for being the price gouging mega giant screwing people over with the worst service EVER! I personally would LOVE to have the "Xfinity" service that I have been paying for. It sounds like a great platform to be able to use.

Thinking of opting for Comcast as your internet service provider. PLEASE DON'T!! Huge mistake. As an international student I did not know any better. I opened an account with Comcast in 2015. I moved apartments so I transferred the account and the equipment to my roommate. Couple months later I get a call from Comcast saying that I have an outstanding due of $190 and the charge is due to the equipment not being returned. I call customer service and tried to explain the situation and after a couple of hours of beating my head and opening a ticket and 72 hours wait, I get a call saying that the amount has been waived. Again, 2 months later I get a call from a collection agency saying that there is an overdue amount with Comcast. I followed the whole ** drill of calling, explaining and opening ticket.

I'm actually writing this review while I'm on hold waiting to talk to a supervisor from Comcast and it's already been 1 hour and seventeen minutes of my time trying to get a service appt. The first time I called three weeks ago they had no time slots on the days I was off so they told me someone would contact me to help me and of course a week later no one called me back. So I called again and another hour and a half on the phone they promised me a service person to be at my house the next day Thursday 4 to 6 pm and of course no one came from Comcast.
So I called them again after they didn't show and spent another hour on the phone and they they told me the next available appt wouldn't be till the following Tuesday. I told them that was unacceptable since it was Comcast that never showed up for the service so why do I get put on the back of the line.

Ironically, the actual cable service was provided to my son in a military barracks.

About two weeks ago my cable box stop working with a error message. It took Comcast 2 hrs to get it working but they did. Few weeks later my 2 year old TV went black. I went and bought a new TV and it still did not work right so I went and got a new cable box. TV started working for a month and then went out with same message. When I called Comcast they said it is because they gave me the wrong box. I had a H2 when I should have a H! And it stop working because I was not being billed for the H2. They can get it back on but I would have to pay a extra 19.95 a month for the box that I did not ask for in the first place, they are the ones that gave me wrong box. I said I did not want it, I will get the right box. They said OK but it will cost me to have the box sent to me, this is a bunch of crap.
I am paying for their mistake over the last month. I have been without my TV service for 4 days so far, cause box has not got here yet, paying in advance for service I cannot use and they act like I did something wrong, for them to just stop service cause of wrong box, charge me to get correct box, be without service for days. Trying to get things right. I have used Comcast over 30 years but I am for the first time totally disgusted them. This is not fair. When I told them "You bill in advance. I cannot use the service," the Comcast rep told me "You have 2 TVs, one has the right box. You can watch that one till you get your other box." But I am paying for service on both boxes.

I have been with Comcast for under a year now and constantly have problems. Unfortunately, they are the only provider for my area. First of all, it is completely overpriced to have decent cable along with 75 mbps wifi, and pay around $175. For this reason, we now have BASIC cable because it is cheaper than not getting cable at all, when we don't really watch it... just need wifi (ridiculous). I now pay around $100 for basic cable and 75 mbps wifi, when the wifi sucks.
On top of being overpriced, we originally downgraded to basic because we were told our bill was going to be $130, but the bill came out to around $170. When I called about this, the representative "did not know why I was told that price" so we complain and downgraded and the representative agreed to not charge us at all for the original upgrade. So we told him we wanted basic cable and 75 mbps wifi, and he said he changed us to this package and to only pay $98 and the bill will reflect the change in 24-48 hours. Well, no surprise that our bill did NOT reflect this, and therefore we got a late fee ($10). So we called again and the second representative told us that the first one did not even downgrade our cable. So she said she would downgrade it for us and once again, our bill will reflect this within 24-48 hours.
About a week had passed and once again, NO REFLECTION, our bill was just adding up. So once again, I called and the third representative understood all of my problems and said she will make a change to the bill (heard that before). Well, now our bill is at an outstanding balance of around $235... but it should change down to $98 in 24-48 business hours she said.
I also informed her about all of these previous problems and how I did not believe her when she told me my bill will change. She even had another representative come on the line and make me more positive about it changing. I had asked her what she could do for me to make sure I would stay a Comcast customer, she decided to give me Showtime for free for 3 months. I told her if my bill had not changed within 48 hours, I will give another call. Her response was, "you will not have to. It will be changed". Now, it has been over 48 hours and no surprise, our bill is still the same. I am tired of calling Comcast to hear the same thing over and over again.

I am extremely dissatisfied with Comcast. They have no regard for their customers! I lost my internet service on 3/25/17, having contacted them I was told their next availability for a service technician to come out would be on Sunday, 3/26, between the hours of 5-7 pm. The technician arrived at 6:45 having said that he was aware of the problem, claiming that my wire was cut to assist a new customer in my apartment, and there was nothing he could do. At that point I contacted Comcast and was told that I would receive an escalation ticket for priority service (this means nothing) and that I could expect a technician that night or first thing in the morning.
As of today, having contacted Comcast 34 times since 3/25/2017, 20 to Comcast, 10 to Comcast Corporate, 4 to Krystal who was in charge of sending the technician to my apartment. Well, Krystal set up an appointment assuring me someone would come to my apartment today, March 28, 2017, between 8-10, and I'm still waiting. My messages have been ignored without a callback, Comcast Corporate spoke with her at 10 am and assured me she would call me and have someone here within the hour, and it's now 1:14 pm without a return call and no technician. This is unconscionable and inconsiderate.
My bills are paid every month, never late, and calling the Corporate office means nothing because according to them they don't have the power to do anything nor do they care. They left it up to this lady, Krystal, who should lose her job. This company shouldn't exist, they are horrible and could care less if you're without internet. They beat to their own drum and will leave you in total despair with no remorse whatsoever.
I work from home and this loss of internet has created a major problem with my workforce. I have 4 internet companies under my name in different states and this is by far the worse there is, they should be sued and forced to close down their operations due to negligence.

Had gotten internet and second line for work and tried them. Waited for year + to make sure did not have problems again. Signed up for TV and home phone now, and nothing but problems. One box stopped working on TV after less than a month. Went to store to get replacement. Still didn't work. Spent 2 hrs on phone trying to resolve answering same question multiple times. Finally sent tech to fix... 5 minute fix that tech said they could have done over phone. Never attempted. Then the tech went outside to "check the connections." Everything went off. Went outside to ask him if he disconnected. He said he had as something wasn't right... "It should come back in a couple of minutes," and left.
After 30 mins and frustration of trying to get through the silly automated system got rep who said she would escalate to get person back out. 2 hours later called back, was told that escalation number that she gave was useless. Supervisor told us that even though they caused the problem no one could come out to fix it for 24 hrs. When I said that was unacceptable, the supervisor said, "Does that mean you are refusing the appointment?" Then he said if I upgraded to a business plan they could get someone out faster. So even though they can't deliver on basic service, I should pay more to get the service I already paid for. Awful, awful company. They had done something similar to me many years ago and said they could come back out for a week at that time, so I guess they have improved. DON'T do business with this company.

I have my account set up at Comcast to pull money from my bank account, which is not my preference. Last month, I mistakenly pushed my payment out to them, so inadvertently they received two payments. They applied only one payment to my bill. When I called to correct the situation, they seemed to understand what happened. They said they would apply my overpayment to the next month's bill, that it would be fixed within 24-72 hours and they would communicate by email.
Well, they did communicate by email within 72 hours. But what they did was wipe out both payments, stating that I owed them for two months and added a late charge. I called them immediately, and again the person said they would correct the information and remove the late charge. She said that within an hour I could check the automated system and it would reflect the correct status.
So I checked back as they suggested, and found that they reported the payment for the first month, but showed a past due status for current bill. So I had to call a third time in as many days. The person this time asked a bunch of different questions and said another department would have to call to investigate the payment. This is supposed to occur in the next 24-48 hours. These people appear to be incompetent. They don't know how to fix a simple problem, and have made matters worse for me. It is still not resolved.

After many attempts and failure by Comcast general support, I started to log every single call and activity. I paraphrased every response for one month (approx. 20 calls). Then I sent a 4-page log file to the owner of Comcast, Mr. Roberts. Within minutes I got the problem resolved. I did not have to go through FCC or BBB. The team that came to resolve the problem was very nice. On a second thought, Comcast is good, it all depends on who is answering the phone. Bottom line is log every call and every issue. In this way if it needs to be escalated, you have credible evidence and experience.

I really give up on Comcast but I agreed to a two year plan last August to save money. It's almost as if they are trained to steal. My problem started last august when I could not get two channels; no message appeared so called Comcast thinking Something was wrong. The automated system did not tell me that channels were out in my area but switched me to a tech in Columbia. Told him my problems. Tried to fix them by sending info to boxes. Knocked both my HD and standard box out. 2 rounds later after many sent signals to my boxes the HD was working minus two channels but the standard box was fried. Tech said he would send me a box. Told him I needed a standard box as I had two TVs set up one above the other to watch football.
Then he says he can save me money if I agree to two year deal reduce monthly bill by $30. "Ok," I said. Big mistake. Then he told me I could install the unit he was sending myself. I asked why as he had broken the box and I had a service agreement. Ok I would be credited. Then the box arrives and it is a HD box which I cannot use. Set up appointment to install standard box. Explained I have PTSD from Vietnam. Am disabled and cannot do anything technical. OK no charge.
Tech comes brings no standard box. Looks at HD box. Says he can install as they have done away with standard boxes. He installs then leaves. I try and put two channels on at once. Does not work. Both use same remotes. Call tech. He returns. Can't figure it out. Ask him to take back HD box says, "No can't." I have to hand carry or ship it to Comcast.
Says to solve problem. I can ask a supervisor at office at 45th street if I can buy an old standard box. Up I go turn in HD box. Ask about buying standard box cannot do. No standard boxes so I turn off my second TV. Look online. Buy standard box and remote. It arrives. Call for appointment to have it installed. No can do. They have standard boxes. I can set up a service call and they will bring one. Thought to self, "Been told twice they have no standard boxes and have discontinued use so I better run up and get one while it's hot."
Up I went turned on service again and set up appointment for installation. Got Columbia again. Got a date and time. Date came no Comcast. Called told I never had an appointment. Set up another appointment told I would be charged. Explained Comcast broke box I did not. Ok no charge. Appointment comes no Comcast. Called told that I canceled the appointment. Asked to speak with supervisor. Asked why. Explained.
Spoke with supervisor was going to have everything fixed. New appointment. Tech came had Hd box. "No I have standard box." Installation made. Explained no charge. Bill came was charged. Cable worked for two weeks then went out on standard box. Called to complain. Got some other south American country. Very sorry. I would be credited for service call and would get another credit for all my problems. Would fill out form and supervisor would sign off. THE BIGGEST LIE IN THE WORLD CONTEST ENTRY IS HERE. Got no credit on next bill.
Again I call for appointment. Explain again I did not cause the problem. OK no charge. Junior comes out. Been told by three techs that straight lines across on standard means no signal. Junior starts to check. Finds that when cable installed back in May 2012 the tech used three splitters and that has caused weak signals for computer and all three TV boxes. Junior used same cable standard box which I had already wrongly paid for installation, remember Colombian tech blew up my standard box back in august and even apologized for doing it, and I again explained to Junior as I had to service when I made appointment it was a tech problem which is covered under my service plan. OK no problem. Get February bill and not charged $ 50 for installation but $60.
Called Comcast again. Calmly explained everything again. She checked. "Oh," says she. There is no installation box was already installed. I will credit the $60. Was very happy Junior fixed problems that I had suffered for 5 1/2 years. Appointment was set by wonderful lady who fixed everything in the system and finally my problems were over. I skipped many other calls to Comcast where I was GIVEN CREDIT TO MY ACCOUNT FOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY COMCAST in this complaint but I was a happy customer.
February bill is taken out. $60 is still on bill, not removed as I had been told. Called Comcast. Ok I was not very nice was angry in fact. Told, "Oh we agreed to refund your $60 but it was too late to take it off. You will receive credit in March." Told lady "I have been through this many times where I would be credited and no credit was given." "Oh no I see it on your account." Asked to speak with supervisor. She too told me it would off it march. Just paid march bill. No credit received. I truly wonder if Comcast employees are trained to lie and steal from customers. Oh yes got a call about my experience on last call to Comcast. Would I refer friends and family to Comcast. BIG ZERO. Put it in five times would not accept then on 6th entry it took. Comcast is a criminal entity that has it employees lie and mislead and steal monies from its customers and should be investigated and prosecuted.

They always have outages and never give a warning about outages that they know are going to occur. They charge a arm and a leg always adding or going up on some fees then they act like they don't want to reimburse you for the half day you lose or have no service. Only reason I have them is because it's the only service offered in my area. Can't wait for another service to be offered so I can dumb these losers. Everyone need to get together and file civil suit against this company for robbing people. Need to bring back the good old free antenna days. So mad! I Hate Comcast and its Services with a Passion.

My bill went from $93 to $108. Not too bad. I called and no resolution. We talked about the equipment I had, the rep said if I returned the box it would go down $9.95 but I only have one box which is the one that is included. He never told me I was being charged for an extra box, by looking at the bill is not clear. Now my bill went from 108 to 136.89. That is not acceptable. I called. They said anything else even going down to basic TV or just doing Internet would none more expensive or the same. Then I found out that since 2015 March April. They have been charging me for an extra box. That is almost 24 months 238.00. I wonder how many people they have done that to.
I can only dispute 120 day, that is really robbery. They overcharge for the service And then they charge you for equipment you don't have. This is really disgusting and there is no one that can vouch for us. They make the rules.

Called repeatedly to explain that this was extremely dangerous & same ** installation was repeated in my bedroom... but I called get NO ONE to come fix this problem! Customer service ignored all my attempts to schedule an "in house" service man but was more than happy to send someone out when I requested a landline. The repair man had to come anyway, as my wifi stayed in "offline mode" for more than half the time I had it!
So, despite several attempts to reset as suggested by the girl, who barely spoke English, & was forced to admit, that the "simple, 1 hr, walk thru troubleshooting procedure" was an EPIC FAIL, was I scheduled for a serviceman & elated when he actually showed up this time! He installed landline, fixed wifi router but refused to touch the exposed wires & hazardous mess left by 1st service guy. Extremely frustrating when so little value is placed on customer service.

Got 1st bill last wk of Oct for Nov to Dec with billing date 28th of each month. Got another bill for Oct 7 to Oct 28 but not prorated. The "package deal" is only good on 1 TV. Was told will have to pay extra for other TV's. Other cable company I had for 20 years my "package" was included on all 5 TVs. I only paid extra for DVR & $165 included HBO, Encore & Cinemas channels. Xfinity rates keep going up & channel lineup keeps going down unless you pay extra. Also the Double Play IS cheaper. When moving here all cable had previously been installed. I only needed to pick up boxes yet Xfinity never told me & charged $65 for them to bring out the boxes. The value for Xfinity stinks.

Got off the phone with one of their customer retention people this morning after complaining about a price increase.

When the check was not received I called Comcast 5 times to inquire when my refund would be received. In every case I spoke with a rep who was probably in the Philippines who spoke terrible English and could not provide me with an answer. I then made formal complaints with the Georgia Attorney General's Office and the FCC. I then received a phone call from a Comcast employee named Eric who went over the information with me and told me that a check was mailed to me on Jan 27, 2017 and that he would get back to me. He did everything but accuse me of cashing their check before calling back to state that the check was never cashed.
Three phone calls later he is still standing on company policy that they have to wait and see if I received the check. I've asked him to put a stop on the check he said Comcast sent and send a 2nd check. He stated that they can't do that. After putting up with terrible service and no customer service for 5.5 years now I can't even receive a refund on what they owe me. In my complaint to the FCC I asked them how Comcast can be allowed to stay in business based on their terrible record of receiving complaints from their customers. I await a response.

I called and it was reversed. Second month it was back. Called and it was reversed, but the rep. acted like she was doing me a favor. Third month it was back and the rep. wanted me to fax a copy of my bill before she would credit me. The no modem fee was pre-printed on my invoice, not added on by the salesperson. I got no response from the fax rep., so I tried an email. The email rep. said they were aware of the problem with incorrect billing and she would just give me a credit for the $3. fee times the 12 month contract so I would not have to go thru it each month. All was fine for a short time until Comcast raised the fee to $5. Small dollar amount but it was the principal. I guess I just gave up at that point.
Just before the 12 months were up, I called to see how much it would go up for the second 12 months and was quoted $120. a month for the second 12 months. I said ok. Then the first bill came for about $190. and I called again. The rep. laughed at me. She said, "You have to pay it." No checking. No asking for the other rep's name. Nothing. She said he was wrong. I tried calling again a few days later and got the same story but without the laughing. I offered to pay the $120. as payment in full and she said no.

I called to ask what the reason was behind this and all of a sudden they seen that my contract wasn't up their mistake so I have to pay early termination fees.

She stated that even if the contract wasn't up early termination fees do not apply if you move to an area they are unable to service, she had me file a ticket.

Also forget about being able to get a price that will stay the same because they will always raise it and then tell you that your current price was a promotional price, they are very dishonest and train all their employees to lie, lie, lie.

Also if you think you're paying for higher speed Internet, you're wrong. Yes you are paying higher prices but you're not getting the speed you're paying for. Then when you figure out they are screwing you and you call them out on it, they tell you that your modem needs upgraded in order for the speed to work properly lol, what a scam. This is after you been paying them $90 a month for a year for their highest speed when you were actually only getting their lowest speed.

As promised, Comcast, here is my review regarding your services. I just spoke with a customer service representative regarding the most recent charges on my account and inquired as to why I am still not receiving the movie channels that are supposed to be a part of my "Double Play" package. I want to begin by saying that this review rating is not a reflection of the customer service person I spoke with today; my rating of 1-star reflects Comcast's service, or lack thereof.
I switched from internet to a "Double Play" option to include TV with internet after Christmas when we bought a TV. (Yay! We're finally like normal people who watch TV!) The initial customer service rep I spoke with in December was very kind; she upgraded the account to include TV and mentioned that they were offering a promotion for a free movie channels package of our choice to be included with "Double Play," at no additional cost. The movie channels never appeared -- instead, when tuning to those channels, some message would read something like "Click to purchase/upgrade" or "Call Comcast to upgrade."
The bottom line is that Comcast never delivered on the services they assured us we would receive. Apparently the customer services representatives are not required to make notations when they give specific quotes to customers, so there was actually no record or documentation for the second customer service representative to come back to when we spoke today. The bottom line... Comcast will do anything to retain new business and will lie that they will provide services that you will not actually receive, but they will bill you for them! Oh! And, if you decide to upgrade your service in the "middle of a billing cycle," they will also charge you! In this case, they charged me $60 to upgrade and include TV with my internet service.
In summary, they overbilled me for services I did not receive, and are unwilling to ameliorate the situation. I will be canceling my contract with Comcast, it is just a matter of time - I imagine there will be a charge for that as well. Comcast, you are the worst business - you rob people by not delivering the services you agree to provide.

My complaints are too long to go into detail about. I have logged in over 30 hours on the phone with Comcast since the end of October. From the end of October until December 20th I spent hours on the phone trying to find out why I could not access movies I recorded on my dvr to download on my Samsung Tablet. Got the runaround and was bounced from one person to the next. I was escalated to different levels of tech support. No resolve. Six times was promised a callback by a higher level of tech support. NEVER ONCE did they return a call. Went to Comcast store. They wouldn't help. Said they were not tech support. Told us to go to AT&T because I got my Samsung Tablet there. In two and a half months no one there could figure out what my problem was. So disgusted we cancelled Comcast December 15th. After that we learned Comcast had not properly set the back of our dvr.
We went to DirecTV which we would have stayed with, however, they failed to tell us that their internet speed was so slow we could not pull up on demand. In less than a week, we had Comcast reinstall all of our services - tv, internet, phone, home security. December 30th we had no tv or internet. I called and spent 2 hours on the phone with them insisting I called in and had them shut it off. I DIDN'T! Therefore, they let someone unauthorized turn my service off. I questioned how that could happen unless they knew my address, phone, and last four digits of my SS. They couldn't tell me who did it or how it happened when they finally got back to me a week later.
February 5th I could not log into my account to check my security cameras in my home which had been reinstalled December 20th. They told me the security system had never been activated. So from December 20 - February 6 I had no security system working yet was being billed for it. Again, hours on the phone because they told me I was being put under a 2 year contract starting February 5, 2017 due to their MISTAKE. When I reinstalled my services December 20th they assured me my contract date would continue from September 5, 2015.
Comcast customer service is totally inadequate. You spend hours on the phone. You are bounced from one person to the next getting different answers. They read from a script book half the time even if the information is not correct. That is not the fault of the person on the phone. It is the fault of the company. They tell you they have to check into it and will call back. NEVER DO!!!
I have heard first had from a friend who just retired from a high level position with the Comcast Corporate Office that all of my complaints are justified and true. Sad when an employee of many years has nothing good to say about the company. Heard the same negative things from installers that work for Comcast. Time is too valuable to waste HOURS on the phone with inadequate customer service! When I can find something better, I am done with Comcast!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE. ALWAYS CALL THE CORPORATE OFFICE. If everyone does, maybe they will get tired of it and realize they need to make changes.

I have been trying to move my Comcast services to my new address for almost 4 weeks! I have called numerous times, been told the same thing over and over. Been made promises to by agents, supervisors. I have no choice but to use Comcast in my building, so I have no options. With the number of Comcast complaints, you would think that changes would occur and they would improve their customer service.
Clearly we are stuck having to use this firm. It is a real shame. If there was a way to boycott Comcast, I am sure changes would come. In the meantime, they certainly have the upper hand. The latest I have been told, because I need my unit rewired, is that the firm that does the rewiring, Lecom Communications, never received an appointment date and time for me, passing the buck like no other. Comcast told me that my window for the appointment today was 8 am-8 pm. A Lecom person comes by my unit today to say that they couldn't reach me and he was just coming to leave a notice for me to call and schedule an appointment. Then he stood at the door laughing at my frustration. Detroit service is like no other. Detroit should be proud.

I am filing a complaint against Comcast for misrepresentation of services and charges for those services. I signed up with Comcast in May/June of 2013. Had requested wrong package originally, and had to upgrade to next one. 2 years later they decide to take away channels that I had for the last two years without any notification to me whatsoever. So on 1/21/16, I called Comcast to inquire why. Said that the station(s) wanted to be upgraded to the next level… WTH?!!! So in order to watch the channels they took away... I had to upgrade my cable package.
Was told that my bill would be NO HIGHER than $135 for two years and it would go up to $145 after the 2 year period that this pricing quoted was good for. I confirmed this billing amount with the young lady who was assisting me, she reassured me that is the total amount I would pay each month... NO MORE THAN THAT and would not go up for any reason, so I decided to go with the upgrade. The new channels were available on my living room television pretty quickly. About a week or so later, when I tuned into the tv in my bedroom, I did not get the channels that I was paying for. Called Comcast again and was told that in order to get the service on all other tv's that I had to purchase different boxes (additional charges).
Told them I was quoted a price of $135 firm and that this would never change and was never told that I would need to PURCHASE different boxes ($10 ea) for EACH tv in order to get all the channels when I originally signed up for the new service. Was told that there was nothing that Comcast could do for me even though it was one of their employees that was at fault. So the call was ended.
Checking on my bill today I see that they added a sports package that I DID NOT request to have. Called again today 3/1/16 and talked to customer service to remove the charges for that SPORTS PACKAGE. They removed the charge but was not going to credit my account. After some discussion, they finally did. Again told them of the misinformation that I was told when I called originally and again... could do nothing for me.
Yes, getting the $5 credit for the removal of the sports package is a VERY small victory but still, I am paying more than I was quoted for the upgrade and not getting the full service I was promised. The fact that this company can continue to operate this way is wrong!! I have no problem paying for the services that I sign up for... but when they take away services at a whim, misinform customers about services, and the charges for those services are not as promised is corrupt and just plain wrong. Something needs to be done.....

I received bill (billing date, 01/09/17) which showed a new monthly amount due, up from $129.44. The prices/fees had changed to: Adapter, up $2.00, Broadcast TV Fee, up $2.45, Taxes, surcharges and fees, up $.22 (no doubt because other charges increased). I called Comcast, 800-934-6489, 17 Jan. 2017 and spoke to Clay, at 4:14 pm. Line went dead after I gave him my account number so I called back and this time gave my phone number in case we get cut off again.
Clay advised that he / customer service reps could not do anything about adapter fees, taxes, etc. He did offer to and said he had reduced the cost for base service from $99.99 to $89.99 and that this would be effective on the next bill. That, in the interim, I should go ahead and pay the current bill of $134.11. Further, that I would receive an email confirmation of this agreement. I was therefore very surprised when I received my current bill a few days ago (billing date, 02/09/17) and there had been no change. I respectfully request that the agreement offered by Clay and accepted by me, be honored today.
2/16/17, at the local Xfinity store in Stonefield, Charlottesville, rep Wendy ** tried but could not find any record of the lowering of the price (promotion rate) and when she tried to execute same, could not. She suggested I call 800-934-6489 and say I want to cancel via the Solutions Desk. Then, if possible, they are in position to change the rate. Wendy did provide a credit for a different snafu involving an adapter box which I had gotten; could not activate, made appointment for a technician who never showed up or called.
Details of that follows: 2/15/17 Comcast still not here at 5:55 pm. Per phone arrangements, tech rep was supposed to be here between 1-4. I called at 3:55 pm and the rep was all apologetic; promised me that the tech was running late, that someone would come out to my home today and would call me prior to coming. He even confirmed my phone number. He also said I was given a credit on my next bill of $20 and a reference number: **. I called back at 5:50 pm and spoke to Chris who told me that there was no appointment in the system for me. I yelled at him, told him that I was going to return the set top box adapter tomorrow to the local Xfinity store and when I am called back for the survey (probably the only thing they will do right), I plan to give them a piece of my mind (that is if I speak to a human). If it is a machine, I will hang up.
How about that? After asking me at the outset if I would be willing to respond to a survey after my Tech Support call, and promising to call back within 30 minutes, NOBODY called. I am not surprised. Why not? Because per the internet, Comcast has perhaps the worst customer service reputation of all companies, certainly tech companies. 2/16/17: Returned the adapter and got receipt for same. Also, promised the $20 credit on my next bill. Email received later in the day from Wendy ** confirming that the credit has been applied.
I returned home and at 10:45 am, called the above number and spoke to Marilyn. I gave her my account info and my story (above). She said she could not help me but would refer me to Solutions. She transferred me to Michael who it seemed tried to get me off the line by telling me that there was no record of Clay's promise and that Clay was not authorized to offer this because it was a promotion rate for first-time customers. I persisted and said I guessed I needed to cancel. Then he offered me a $10 credit for six months or a total of $60; that the entire $60 would be credited on one bill. I told him I would try that but I wanted an email confirmation of this $60. He said he would send me said email. As of 8:45 pm, no email received.
2/20/17, as of today, I have not gotten an email from Michael confirming the $60 credit. So, I called again and got Virtue who said she could not help and transferred me to Solutions -- Laticia. Before she did that, she told me she did see a credit for $20 which I told her was due to the snafu with the adapter box and that she saw a credit for $30 applied on 17 February but no $60 credit. She also gave me reference number: **. Laticia said she/they could not honor the $60 that Michael had offered on the 16th. Further, that I could not get the promotion rate because it was for first-time customers (what I knew already). I then told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor. She said she would take down my info and have someone call me. Will have one of her lead agents call me before 7 pm today. What do you bet no one will call? If not, I will then elevate this to a manager as I did once before.
By the way, there may be a total credit of $70 on my account: $20 for the missed appointment, $20 for the return of the adapter box and perhaps $30 via Michael (instead of the $60 promised). Ashton called and I read her this sad story above. She said that there was nothing she could do. Laticia said my promotion rate of $99.99 expires in March so God knows what the cost will skyrocket to then. I so fervently wish there was another provider in this area, as do others to whom I have spoken. This has to be the absolute worst customer service in the world.

The few reviews I have read represent everything I'd like to say about Comcast. It's rather surprising that this company makes no effort to make good their poor business relationships with customers. In the past several months I have called this company about the problems with the two devices I picked up. They were not able to fix the problem remotely. They then sent a technician who told me they had not installed a filter to accommodate the new system. However, that was done but I was billed for installation of the equipment I installed myself. When I complained to them they removed the $50 charge. The following month the $50 was carried over as a balance I did not pay.
After uncountable phone calls I made, I was told my bill had gone up. A miracle!!! It went up by exactly $50. I am not going to waste my time writing much more because others have already done so. As of this morning I have paid the $50 and will continue to pay $50 more than I have been paying prior to the problem because "my bill went up by $50." What a subtle means of extracting money from a customer. I am presently weighing my options since I have finally come to my wit's end. The worst part of it all is that I don't this organization. That's a bad feeling to lose trust in your service provider.

However, they sent someone to get it when my service was terminated. Then after getting the runaround, I get told in no uncertain terms, "Pay up, or no service." I'm tired of this company lying to customers. Then I get a wiseass young kid on the phone who says, "We didn't get your payment." Guess not.

I have NEVER had such a horrible experience dealing with installation in my life. So here's the story. I recently moved and had an appointment all set up at my apartment complex for cable and wifi installation. At my apartment's own fault, they failed to let the technician in as I was at work at the time. The tech agreed to come back later that day, confirming by texting me and calling me buddy. He was unable to complete the install and agreed to come back Saturday. Well, after waking up to a text stating "Morning my lil bear" I immediately contacted Comcast and requested to cancel him from the job as I didn't feel comfortable with him coming back.
The lady I spoke with was a sweetheart and originally gave me a new date for a week later. I told her that was too far for me so she contacted dispatch and was able to reschedule for the Friday prior. Well, Friday comes around and no technician. I called Comcast again where they state they have no record of my complaint about the creepy tech AND no record of my appointment for Friday. They stated it was changed to Monday but I was never notified?
After anger and frustration and swearing, the supervisor I spoke with says that he fails to see where they have made any mistake. So, you're telling me that because you sent an inappropriate technician to my place and I complained that now it's my fault and I have to deal with the consequences? Talk about covering their **. I am so beyond frustrated with this company that words can't even describe. Don't EVER use Comcast as a provider if you have other choices in your area.

I relocated for work in December 2016 and when I went to cancel my services they said I had an early termination fee. I spent 1 hour in a Comcast store then 1.5 hours on the phone with their so called "customer service representatives." Finally, spoke with a retention manager who noted on my account that I would receive a $150 credit. He told me to call back when I received my final bill of $90.40 so they can issue the credit.
I received my final bill so I called on January 24, 2017 spoke with a retention manager and he said the credit was issued. I received another bill with the same balance of $90.40 so I called again on February 8, 2017 and spoke to a billing rep who AGAIN assured me a credit of $150 within 24 hours. So technically they would be sending me a check for $59.60. I received 1-800 phone calls the week of February 13, 2017 from the payment department about my unpaid balance.
Called them on February 17, 2017 and spent another 1.5 hours on the phone after speaking with 5 different people and 1 dropped phone call. After all this I finally spoke with another supervisor that said would clear my $90.40 balance. I told her I didn't care about the $59.60 credit due back I just wanted my account cleared.

Comcast has got to be the most non-user friendly company in the world and if there was any other service provider in our area, I would NOT be using Comcast!!! EVERYTHING (and every time) takes an act of Congress to accomplish and the company makes arbitrary changes without thinking things thru. My most recent irritation is that I have two service addresses. One month ago, I could see the service details for both addresses from ONE login id and password. Now, I can't because I added internet service to the 2nd address. When I log in, I see the information to only one of the service addresses now and I'm told that there is nothing they can do except to create a totally new login id and password for the second address, including a new EMAIL address.
Seems their system is tied to email addresses and they can't tie my two addresses together into one login process because I have two internet service addresses... Unbelievable!!! Since I've had a single email address for 40+ years, this is beyond aggravating. Since I have 100+ login accounts and have them all tied to a single email address, this now creates more confusion that I have worked very hard to avoid. I'm so sick of issues with Comcast!

Comcast has not only refunded me for interrupting my service daily by dropping one monthly bill which is $205.49 to $55.72 for the Triple Play Package, plus Home Security w/24 hour monitoring. I also received $200 in Xfinity Visa Gift Cards and after talking with a Miranda Jesup at the Corporate Office was credited an additional $120 towards my account to pay for my DVR for 12 months. All together that is about $480 in savings from Comcast to me and I really appreciate it.

I have been a Comcast customer since 12/2016 and at first everything was fine. I have the X1 Triple Play Package and I enjoyed the cost and paid on time and received the perks for doing so. Then I moved and set up what was suppose to be a transfer of services and had everything lined up or so I thought, I ended up on the phone w/ CS 4 different times, just to move to another building in my complex!! I inquired a bill of over $1200 for early termination and equipment fees as a result, while still using the equipment!!
Needless to say I contacted a lawyer and Comcast Human Resources Department and received a refund check for $147+. Also my service cuts out the same time daily around 3:30 AM and I call and have the company compensate me for my service for the day as well as my time for the call. I am told my X1 box requires daily updates and I have told the representative that I was not informed that this was going to happen and I will be contacting a lawyer to see what can be done about this inconvenience because I pay for 24 hours of cable/internet access.

I already had the same equipment on a month to month and it was $125.00. Deceptive marketing and flat out not telling me this would happen. Now I have to pay an early termination fee if I want out.

I pay a lot of my bills online. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to remember usernames and passwords. Comcast may be the most difficult company to do business with! Here's why...first they have created an impossible email for me, not related to any I have. I have finally fixed that, however that did not take care of my issue. When I try to recover my username and password, they require my account number. Although they ask me for mother's maiden name, social security, etc...that does not suffice, account number is required. I never have this information at hand when I am paying this bill. Gets better - I went online to Comcast's feedback site, where at the top it asks you to login with username and password! I bypassed that and filled out the form, giving my name, address, email, could not help but ask for my account number, to which I did not have.
I hit submit at the bottom. The message I received stated something to the extent of, "we want to hear your feedback, please fill out the form" and then went on to say, "thank you for your feedback." This prompted me to this site. On to overpriced and fees. I have 5 cell phones and pay less than my cable. I have called and representatives are less than creative or caring in lowering my bill. 50% of the items on the bill are surcharges or fees - this is a problem!

Unfortunately, I have been a customer of this farce of a corporation since 2009, and I cannot WAIT to switch to DISH or DIRECTV. Shame on me for being the only resident on my street who uses the oppressive corporation known as COMCAST!!! When the installation occurred in 2009, it took the representative approximately nine hours, and, he could not speak English. He sat in my chair, acting as if he was doped up on **. Since that time, Comcast has caused so much stress that I am surprised I am still alive. Their shenanigans starting this year, should be labeled as illegal.
Comcast is "offended" by programs with Christian content. Each time I view this type of programming, I am "punished" by the TV freezing, or the modem is rendered inoperable. To punish my internet browsing pertaining to eschatology, they turn off the wireless service, the airplane mode, and inject a network into my laptop so that I cannot engage the internet. Recently, they started sending my name and phone number to employees in Mexico, who terrorize me with demonic and immoral content phone calls, as if these Orwellian gas-lighting techniques are going to suddenly turn me into an atheist. KEEP DREAMING.
When calling Comcast due to their stupid error messages or well-plotted and vindictive digitized failures, and, when asking for a technical support representative, I am transferred to a country 14 hours away and the representative is unable or REFUSES to rectify the problem. I am then transferred to someone in Mexico or Nigeria, who is unable to speak English, and can only respond with the verbiage "bop bop." They "recommend" that I watch TV on my phone (go figure). The irony of these "representatives" is that they know how to bill customers for services they are forbidding them to utilize, yet they cannot troubleshoot, or REFUSE to troubleshoot (if you're a Christian working for a Christian institution). These people are evil and maniacal, and if I complain, I am inundated with threatening emails from representatives facilitating bogus accounts, or harassed and bullied over the telephone.
The problem with this corporation is that it is entirely too focused on monitoring citizens who are Republicans and/or Christians, instead of conducting the business of servicing customers. They would rather waste time punishing people just because the 2016 election did not suit them. Oh, boo-hoo, sob sob, sniffle, sniffle oh won't you cry me a river liberal. If Comcast does not want people watching Christian content, they should not offer it in their programming repertoire (or make it too difficult to view, EVEN if customers are paying for it faithfully ON TIME every month). I fail to ascertain why customers are transferred to "representatives" in other countries. Why can't we speak to people in the United States? WHAT? Is it illegal or just plain politically incorrect to speak English, have a brain, or to think independently? Oh, excuse me, I forgot. We're supposed to be dumbed down morons. KEEP DREAMING.
To add insult to injuries, they have the unmitigated gall to attempt to disconnect the power in my home. I suppose the next course of action will be for them to barge into my home unannounced and stalk off with my bible. The cruelty of Comcast knows no bounds. If you complain, they have the capability of logging into your email account, posing as "characters", and inundating you with non-stop and bullying emails and scams, and, yes, even threats.

It was three people ahead of me. I then ask the three reps (that was standing around and talking) could they take my payment. They told me to use the Kiosk to pay (though it was three people ahead of me). Finally during that time, the line became so long, that while talking and laughing with each other, they finally ask, "Can we help someone?". I was at the counter, the lady took my money and made the statement, "It's just going to get cut off again".
I told her that it wasn't none of her business if it get cut off again, "just take my payment". I also told all three that I would report them all not only for her comment, but also for the three of them standing and talking and having everyone go to Kiosk though at any given time there would be two-four standing in line. It wasn't until I complained, that they actually ask to help people. I'm looking to go to DIRECTV. We've have heard they better customer service and better TV/INTERNET service.

Even the installation was done incorrectly. Now it is February 07, 2017 I receive my first bill for $441.63 and they say I have a past balance when I have only had Comcast for 1 month. After many phone calls, 5 or maybe 6 people no one can help. They repeat themselves over and over. All my time is wasted and total lack of customer service to solve the issue. I am at the point of the highest point of being angry. The customer service is HORRIBLE. They lie all the time. And don't solve the problem. I want to cancel... I have been with them ONLY 1 MONTH AND I WANT OUT.

I have had the WORST experience with COMCAST techs! His presentation was just as awful as his work. Oversized t-shirt, food stains, pants hanging and dirty sneakers!!! Chipped paint off my baseboard, nailed the cable too high from the carpet and put the connector at the top of the steps looking bulgy and unprofessional. He left me with cable clips, pulling up the cable as he watched me, and did nothing to help me nail the clips back to the baseboard. In other words, I did his job and better! I requested a reimbursement for the charge they were charging for this unprofessional, it's not my house, so I don't care, job!! Made me want to cancel my entire subscription!

I am writing because it is important that companies that have a monopoly should be reported when their customer service is bad. I have contacted the Vice Mayor of Alexandria, VA and made him aware of it. I will also file a better business bureau complaint. On Feb 5, 2017 is Super Bowl, Sunday. Comcast had an epic failure for the whole night. Not just a couple of hours, so there was no tv and internet service. You couldn't use the high price service at all. Totally unreliable, which we had better options, they can make a bundle.

A word of caution if you have Comcast, REALLY check your bill each month, they love to charge you for equipment you do not have or have returned. Recently I switched/updated 4 pieces of equipment and returned 3, a month later I saw no change in my bill, and even though I had print outs of my returned equipment, this company informed me, after two calls of approximately 1 hour each, that they would still have to do a search to ID missing equipment. They did not want copies of the slips I got from the store I returned the equipment, just had me read all the serial numbers over the phone, three times. These folks are idiots, no training what-so-ever.
To make matters worst, yesterday our TVs would not permit access to any networks. After 8 hours of phone calls, we were told one of our boxes was not listed on our account thus it was turned off (not sure why this impacted 3 of 4 of our boxes but it did), and again we had to read the numbers to the idiot at Comcast. This along with rebooting and various other things, we finally seem to have everything working and believe our account is squared away, at least UNTIL OUR NEXT BILL. As many others have said, the customer service is so bad, and they really do not care about the customers. I really wish the AGs of some states would investigate this so-called "service company", I am sure they are charging many others for equipment they do not have, and who can really figure out their bills?

It took a month to set up an account for my father who lives in assisted living in Pompano Beach FL because the last resident left an unpaid balance. It did not matter that I was trying to open a new account. Comcast first put the account under the assisted living director's name, then my father's name instead of my name. However, all the bills came to California, under my name.
My father has left the facility and moved into hospice. I called to cancel the account and was told only my father could close the account and that I could not remove the auto payment either because the account was not in my name. I explained that he was unable to call or visit an office and that I had been responsible for setting up the account and for billing since creation of the account. I was never informed that the account was in my father's name and no paperwork reflected that. The people I talked to about this matter kept telling me they could not talk to me about the account, that my father needed to take action and that I should go into a local office in Florida. I explained that I lived in California. Nothing has been solved at this point.

XFINITY GAVE ME NOTHING BUT RUNAROUNDS. I signed up for service in January not sure what date to be exact. The tech went out there to install my service but was unsuccessful due to having "UNDERGROUND WIRING OR CONSTRUCTION ISSUES". They set a date for the team to go out there and repair what was needed on 1/31/2017 and then again on 2/2/2017. On 2/2/2017 they were not able to do anything about the underground construction because they needed by neighbor's consent to get under their driveway. If they knew this way beforehand they could have told me and I would have been present at the time with a letter of granted permission from my neighbor. They would not go back the same day until another 10 days. Making a new customer wait 3 to 4 weeks for this is unacceptable.I cancelled my service and I'm waiting 15 days for my deposit to be refunded...

Horrible service, substandard equipment and the worst customer service I've ever experienced! I pay over $220 per month for X1 services that on a daily basis are not available. Every day is something new, today I opened the guide scrolled to select a channel and clicked enter. After several minutes of trying to load the channel I received the infamous xrexxxxx error! Experiencing difficulty accessing channel try later! For god sakes it's CBS. I can get that with an antenna! Tried another channel, NBC and got the same error. After several tries the system rebooted automatically which took 10 minutes and I lost all recordings during reboot.
I constantly experience delays in loading channels when scrolling through the guide, the ff and rewind features have a mind of their own and don't stop when play is pressed and on demand programming can only be viewed when it decides it wants you to have access! Calling customer service is useless. The answer which is always read from a script. Always ends with them asking you to reboot the box! How many times should I have to reset my box a day! This is big business at its best when they know options are limited. If there were more viable options Comcast would be out of business in a week.

I gave them 3 stars for the quality internet service package I have now. It is excellent and streams with very little issues, which is a good thing considering I have no other options, as there are no any competitors in my area. I also have a middle school, high school and college student at home. I cancelled Xfinity Triple Pay tv subscription, as I only paid it to keep up on the very few shows I watch. It was a no brainer to disconnect and began streaming. The few shows I do watch are being done this way with "no problems" Great TV through Roku and my son's Xbox 360. I have Crackle a free service, netflix/hulu together less than 25$ a month. I am going to try Sling for a few months as AMC the walking dead is streamed live on it. If I don't like it I will ditch it, and keep what I have. No contracts or made up packages that are forced down your throat, so you can do that.
All I pay now is 98$ per month including my internet, which cut my bill in half. Stay up with the times or get robbed blind. You can always use a nice little handy converter box that the government gave out for digital tv. I have one of those as well and get about 20 channels on it, with locals and so forth, works like a gem, and all for free. Why pay them $ for television. I cannot justify paying those prices for 2 or maybe 3 shows I look at. Capitalism at it's finest here. I will not allow Comcast Xfinity to screw me month in and out...

It is no secret that employees of Comcast who answer calls are off-shore and difficult to understand. At best, they repeat over and over how much they want to help. Why is it necessary to supply social security numbers when seeking help for a problem with Comcast equipment? SS numbers are NOT supposed to be used for any kind of identification and should not be a requisite for getting help with faulty equipment. Why should I have to dismantle my cabinet in order to obtain the serial number(s) on the Comcast box supplied and installed by them? Is Comcast just trying to skirt issues with their equipment and frustrate their customers? It would certainly seem so. If there were an alternate where I live, I would definitely switch providers.

It did not activate and was told to go to a Comcast store. What an inconvenience! And yes, we were activated. We received a new box and I now have no HD... just a blurry TV mode.

Troubles setting up service after a move. I recently moved and prepared for the move by letting Comcast know I was going to a new address. I completed their "change of address" form on their website ("xfinity.com/moving") and got a confirmation email letting me know everything was good to go. This email did not go to my preferred email address (@gmail.com) but instead went to Comcast's email (@comcast.net). Of note, I have had past issues, so to prevent any problems, I had them turn on my service a day earlier (Jan 27th) than I would be there to ensure I would have working internet once I arrived.
Once I had moved in fully (Jan 28th) and plugged in my own modem/router, the same combo I was using for months at my previous address, I needed to call and activate my equipment, as usual. I spoke with a great representative on the phone, and he informed me that my address had never been serviced by Comcast. Therefore, a technician would need to be sent out so that he could run a cable line from the pole to my house. He said this should be done by the 30th (as of this writing, it is the 28th). I was not informed if there was an appointment I needed to make, or if any follow-up was required. My modem was not activated, my service was not turned on, and I have to go without service for a minimum of 3 days (Jan 27-30).
If I was told that service wouldn't be immediately available when I first put in for my move on Jan 25th, there would be no issue and I would have scheduled an appointment to solve that problem ASAP. If the automated online system would have recognized that Comcast didn't even have an option to service my new home and informed me of this, there wouldn't have been a problem. If I was given a specific date and could be promised that in X days time my service would be working, there would be no problem. However, as it stands, I am unaware if I need to activate my modem, schedule an appointment for a technician, pay for any of these services, or why I wasn't informed of any issues with my service being set up prior to my move in date.

The lady on the phone stated I should contact my bank to get a refund because their process takes much longer. So I called my banking institution and they told me that the merchant was required to give the refund. So here I am calling Comcast again so they issued a ticket and told me it would take a week. No problem. I received a new bill Dec.19 stating I now owe 495.00 which was sticker shock obviously considering my bill is always paid. So I called and spoke with them yet again the gentlemen explained they had put the amount of the refund back on the bill. He then told me it would take 3-5 days to fix so I paid my bill Jan.4 and to my surprise mid January got another outrageous bill.
So this will now be my 4th call to Comcast. The lady is now stating they refunded me twice saying I never paid Dec. This is just untrue. I only received one refund that I was owed. She had me on the phone for over an hour didn't resolve the issue and tried to call me a liar and said I would now have to fax a banking statement.

45 minute "chat" with Comcast service. Billing increased of 10%, with no explanation. Bottom line: To maintain my current service cost, I would have to "downgrade" my equipment (cable TV and Internet) - even though there was no equipment or service change in over 10 years. An apparent "scam" to upgrade service; if they had said, "we increased our fee", there would have been no problem (other than my shopping for a competitor).

Apparently Comcast only hires pathological liars to run their monopolistic empire. A few years back, when my brother moved out of his apartment he called to cancel his cable. Years later he found out that they hadn't cancelled and they had kept charging him even though he no longer lived at that address and never got any bills (bless his naive soul).

I could write a 500 page book and still not adequately cover every negative experience with Comcast. Suffice to say this company has zero interest in customer service, integrity or improving their customer service. We've had an account for nearly twenty years -- ever since they came to our community. Things were reasonable for the first fifteen or so years, but approximately five years ago we began having issues with service - both Internet and TV. Comcast has sent numerous technicians to our home but the majority have lacked the knowledge or skill to address the complex problems affecting our services. After multiple complaints to Corporate, the Company finally assigned someone they call a Senior Corporate Agent - yeah, a glorified telephone support agent who has done little more than insult us.
These are a few of the things that have happened over the past three years: We discovered a part of the coax cable outside that had been fed through the deck planking. The cable covering had worn thin allowing moisture to penetrate into the inside wiring. This accounted for at least some of the problems we experienced. We pointed this out to the tech who noted it, but did nothing to repair the cable. It took another four months, multiple phone calls and e-mails, and a letter to corporate to have someone replace about a foot of the cable.
In an effort (supposed) to diagnose the issues affecting out service, Comcast set up three different recorders at three separate times. The purpose (alleged) was to capture interference as it occurred. Good idea? Probably. Bad execution: three different techs set up the systems and three different techs picked the systems up. The pick up techs were not told to preserve the recordings and as a result, the recordings were destroyed before being read by anyone who knew how to interpret them. Great, huh?
Comcast has told us -- on multiple occasions -- that it is "normal" to experience outages of service that might last several seconds to hours. Normal? Okay...nothing can be done to eliminate these outages. Comcast has labeled our problems as highly unusual, even unprecedented. When I did some online research into these issues, I discovered dozens, perhaps hundreds of other customers posting these exact same issues. Many of these reports were made on Comcast's own website. Comcast has told us that "our technicians have seen no problems when they have examined your system." The implication being that we are somehow imagining the endless services outages, the loss of channels, the loss of Internet connection, the slow connection speeds, the loss of service, etc.
I've never encountered another company that cared so little for their customers. Other companies at least pay some attention to their customer complaints, even if it is only to pretend concern. Not so much, Comcast. I believe some of this may be explained by knowing that the corporate officers in charge of customer service are completely disconnected from customers. There is no way for a customer to contact anyone within corporate. Tom Karinshak - Senior Vice President for Customer Service never sees customer complaints and will not review any customer concerns. [Questionable what it is he does - perhaps make excuses based on inside prompting. Propaganda generator?]
Comcast/Xfinity issued a disingenuous statement after being judged as having the worst customer service in the country. After blaming everything but the company itself, the Company then said they were working to ensure they always respect the customer and making it right when they fell short. I strongly suspect they have a very different definition of what "making it right" means than most customers have. Sadly, they have little motivation to change. Our community is just one of many where, if you want high speed Internet access, they are your only choice. In addition getting reliable satellite service in our area is equally difficult. Thus, why should Comcast do anything different? They own us.

I am still under contract with them. At the end of 2016 Comcast decided to take away some of my channels.

I explained to them that it is not fair to take channels away that I signed up for at the beginning of my contract; that was the main reason that I signed up for the contract!!
Corporate Comcast told me they have the right to change things around during a contract which is not fair to the customer!! In a contract the customer expects to be locked in that price and what was offered at the beginning of the contract for the entire two years. They deceive and lie to their customers. They make you believe that you are getting what you ask for then they go and take them away!!! I had more channels at the beginning of my contract than I do now! To keep the channel that I wanted they are forcing me to pay $4.99 more. I am a disabled lady who is struggling financially and Comcast is taking advantage of me. They are extremely greedy!!!! It is pretty sad that companies are getting away with this. I hope they stop treating their customers like this!!!
I do not know who to trust so every conversation I have with Comcast is recorded so if I have to take them to court I will!!! They lie to get you hooked into their contract!!! I do not trust this company at all!!! If you go with this company please watch your bill and changes made to your account closely. They will change things without your permission. Be cautious!

They have really bad management and customer service. I ordered $49.99 package which includes 25 Mbps internet and some basic channels. Firstly, when I test my internet speed it was too slow and then I connected to their customer service. The agent told me my plan only includes 3 Mbps internet and he tried to give me new deal with same price. I didn't accept it at that time and go to their store. Supervisor man told me agent already change my plan to another and billed to me $100 dollars. I was really shocked and I had record and paper print what their agent said at that time but supervisor tried to blame me. I told them to change.
Once again we change the plan that I want in store and recorded video. When I back to home my speed was ok. Then I checked my account and shocked again. He change my plan to highest price plan and already billed to me. I called the customer service ten times but they never fix and try to bill me another one. Finally, I took all the equipment and went to store and throw to desk and cancel all my service and recorded everything again.

My service was suppose to start at my home on December 20, 2016. However today is January 12, 2017 and my services are still not working. I have had 13 techs come to my home and still my services are not working. When I call into Comcast they are rude and uncaring that my services are not working. And all they tell me is that "We will credit you 3.29 per day." I am so upset and really feel like no one at Comcast could care less that my services are not working. And needless to say they charge more than anyone else does and my services don't even work.

Recently, I was induced to switch my internet service from AT&T to Comcast. For a combined fee, I was supposed to receive upgraded internet and XFinity television service at a price only slightly higher than I was paying for cable alone. The "improved" TV experience was exactly the same channels with simply more awkward controls. There was no upgrade. It was a downgrade. And when I experienced a failure of service, it turned out that it was a faulty (likely repurposed) cable that they'd installed 3 months earlier and which I hadn't touched since installation. The internet service was even worse. It would slow down and occasionally stop every day.
On high traffic days, like Christmas, it was horrible. Calling to complain was met with a response of, "We can see no problems with our system." responses. Then, the overall killer, when I'd had enough and cancelled to go back to my AT&T service that had always worked, I was charged a $200 cancellation fee. I would encourage everyone to avoid Comcast in any of their services.

I have been a customer of Comcast since 1999. Their billing department seems unable to correctly send a monthly statement and their customer service is unable to explain why the monthly bills are consistently different. They try to give a good speech, but never answer the question. I am canceling my service with them and will never deal with them again. Comcast should be embarrassed with the caliber of people that represent their company.

I missed the call. I tried to reach them several times left voice mails etc. Still no reply. My bill... went from $180 to $280.

I was a Comcast Customer for almost 3 years. For those 3 years, I had many issues with them. The first one was that they were charging HBO services in my account, even when I didn't add that service to begin with. Second, they offered me a better plan on the phone and they set a price, I agreed with the plan but when it was time to make the first payment of the new plan, what they charged on the account was much more higher than the price we agreed with.
The last issue I encountered with them, is that when I finally moved out to a new place where Comcast is not the service provider, they told me that I was going to receive a credit for the deposit I made to enter the contract 3 years ago. However, I never receive the credit and what I received is a letter from a debt collector asking me to pay for a balance that was still outstanding in the account. They didn't even called me, email me to let me know there was a balance still outstanding.
In fact, when I returned the items, the Comcast Representative told me that nothing was outstanding and the only thing I needed to wait for was a check for the deposit. I NEVER RECEIVED A CREDIT + I HAD TO PAY FOR THE BALANCE THAT WAS OUTSTANDING IN THE ACCOUNT + LATE PENALTIES FEES. This is not the best way to treat customers, these businesses won't be anything without customers. I am very very frustrated and disappointed for the service they provide.

It's getting so I literally dread the end of the month because I know I will be stuck on the phone with Comcast, fighting about my bill. Yes, it's something new every month. I would've given them the boot long ago, but of course they have a monopoly in my area, so we are patiently waiting for our lease to expire so we can choose a different cable service.
Not only is their wireless internet absolute crap, but their customer service is even worse. It's a joke. A quick call to Comcast? Excuse me while I laugh. You'll spend a minimum of 15 minutes on the line with them, getting bounced around to multiple different agents and if you're LUCKY, you'll get your issue resolved. I work in technology customer service and trust me when I say, these guys are the WORST. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have had to call for false charges on my account, fight with them about upgrades, or complain about the service speed.

THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!! NEVER WILL I EVER COMCAST AGAIN. Got the basic package that was supposed to be $39.99. With all their hidden fees that comes out to $54/month. With all late fee payment and extra convenience payment fees my bill averaged over $100/month. They charge you BS convenience fees of $5.99 to pay your bill on the phone. Then if you want to dispute a charge you have to just pay all the extra BS fees first to get your service reactivated (another $6 fee) then a late payment fee because I got fed up with the phone system after fighting to speak to a manager for two hours.
It is very easy to get the service but after it's set up it is impossible to get in contact with anyone from Comcast without spending 30+min on the phone waiting.

I spend the entire holiday with no internet and Cable. We were ok with it.
But after the service was installed I again called Xfinity complaining about the speed issue. I did discuss the issue I had and the inconvenience we had. So the customer rep very rudely offered me $20 to compensate for the inconvenience we had. I just asked her to keep it and she did not even bother to discuss anything.

Comcast sent out a subcontractor to install my cable in my new house. The contractor came out, plugged in five cable boxes, and never hooked them up to any televisions. I had to do it all myself. During the process of the contractor plugging in these cable boxes he managed to knock over a stack of Sheetrock that was being used to redo one of my bedrooms. When he knocked them over it fell on my electric fireplace breaking it. The fireplace fell on my 11 year old son who was laying on the floor playing on his Nintendo ds. The contractor never asked if my son was okay. Instead my son got out from under the fireplace and asked the Comcast contractor if he was okay as the contractor swept the broken pieces of my fireplace under the rest of the fireplace and told us the lights on the cable box would stop blinking and he left never saying anything about the broken fireplace.
I called and reported the incident and property damage to Comcast and they sent two guys out to look at the damages who did nothing more but stare at their phones the entire time they were in my home. The two gentlemen proceeded to tell me they were gonna pay for the damages and that they would hand deliver the check to me the following Monday. That Monday came around and one of the two guys calls and says he's gonna be out between 1:00-2:00 to deliver the check and that he was taking my broken fireplace. When I told them they're not taking my broken fireplace he tells me that when they damage something they buy it from the customer. I told him it's not for sale it was a gift from a deceased family member and has sentimental value to me. He told me he was gonna talk to his supervisor and call me back. I never received any call back from him after leaving him two more messages. I also never received my check.
I then called Comcast again and demanded to talk to a supervisor. After talking to three different people I finally got a call from a lady named Rebecca **. I explained the whole process with her and she said she has no idea why they would try to take my personal property and that she was gonna look into and call me back in 24 hours. That phone call finally came 7 days later. She tells me that unfortunately that is Comcast policy that if they damage something they take the property with them. That is not theirs to begin with. I spoke with Rebecca and pleaded my case with her that my fireplace is not for sale, I didn't ask them to break it, and I didn't ask them to buy it. I just simply want my damages paid for and she replied that she will talk to her quality assurance team and get back to me in an hour or so. It's now been three more days with no callback to me as I left three messages on her voicemail.
This is absolutely ridiculous and extremely unprofessional. I own an appliance repair company and if I damage a customer's property I pay for it, replace it, or fix it. I don't take their personal property for the simple fact that it is theirs and not mine to take. I also call customers back when I tell them I am going to. But Comcast on the other hand does not return calls and they do not care if a customer is disappointed in their services. This must get out to the public so people know what kind of crooks Comcast really is!!!

When I called them they just cancelled it for upcoming months and didn't credit past 6 months. Also told me it's my fault to not actively checking my bill.
Essentially Comcast wants its customers to NOT trust what they charge them because they know how crooked they are. They will sneak in expenses hoping you didn't check and if you did, they'll simply cut off for upcoming years. They should truly be sued to the ground.

When I said that I live there now, please come out as they originally promised, they came back and said it will now take 2-3 months longer?! They specifically stated that they provided service, then told me they can't help me for a month, then told me that I don't live in my home and finally ended with extending the timeline to 2-3 months.

Tried Comcast twice in the last 6 years and had trouble with it within the first 72 hours each time and canceled the contracts. It took a good deal of time to get this accomplished both times and requires going through their "Customer Retention" people and returning the equipment 20 miles away. A few days ago decided to try adding TV again, as they offered a 12-month deal for both internet and TV for $89.99. I told the rep I wanted only a 12-month contract, which he said was possible. By the end of adding this up, the cost was $125/month for their "starter" TV to be added to my existing internet during this 12-month contract. At the end of the conversation, I verified that the cost was for a TWELVE MONTH CONTRACT and was told that was correct.
Today I went online a few days before the installation appointment to see if I could get a grasp of how the household setup would work this time - and noticed that there were no 12-month contracts - only 2-year ones. Got a chat representative online who took all the information and verified that I'd been signed up for a 24-month contract (meaning that the already-high $125/month would increase during the second year). They required that I call another number to cancel. Called the other number, gave all information, and explained the situation - the rep went into the computer to cancel and said she was getting an error message and could not cancel, but would call a supervisor to get an override.
The supervisor didn't call back, so she called someone else - neither resulting in them taking care of canceling the order. I pointed out that this just seemed like Comcast making it difficult to cancel. They agreed that it was their responsibility to take care of getting the order canceled without further effort on my part, but I'm still waiting for them to call back saying that the order has been canceled successfully as they said they would. Combined with the fact that a few months ago a male rep came banging on my BACK door and ran all over me when I told him he had no business coming to my back door unannounced and objected to him not stopping his sales pitch when I told him I wasn't interested in any solicitations. It seems that customer service remains a problem with Comcast. Still waiting for cancellation "approval".

So I took the box to the office at Campcreek... the box they gave me didn't work with my tv. So I call Xfinity they set up a free in home support. Then no call and no show. I called in and Xfinity set up another in home support appointment. The tech determined that the box was no good then told me the only box he had with him was a dvr box. I told him I would except the dvr box if I wouldn't be charged extra the tech not to worry I will not be charged extra for the box.Then I received a bill charging me an extra $10 (got credit) I informed Xfinity of what went on with the tech and the box. Xfinity shipped me another box that didn't work with my tv that was supposed to be free shipping. However I was billed $49.99 (called and got credit).
Call Xfinity again they shipped me a box that didn't work with my tv (they said free shipping) and charged me $9.95 for shipping (Xfinity took 2 months to give me a credit for that $9.9)... Called in and let them know they sent me the wrong box again so they set me up for another in home support appointment and the tech determined that my box wasn't compatible with my tv or my service. I had free Hob for 2 years that isn't over until mid next year, however I was charged $24.99 for HBO in Spanish and I am not Spanish (got the credit after having to call in 2 times, the 1st time Xfinity gave me the credit then took it back so I had to call in again for my credits of $29.99 for the month plus with no service, $24.99 Spanish HBO (which was free for 2 years but in English) and $9.95 for the shipping cost for a box that wasn't compatible with my tv or my service.
After all my credits I only owe $65.33. As a result of all of this hassle my service was disconnected. I pay the amount to have my service restored and now I face late fee and disconnection again. I am a good paying customer and I have been mistreated and handled unethical... I will pay what I owe but I don't think I should have to pay all of those fees, because I was will to pay my bill back then but I refuse to pay for services that I'm not supposed to, my bill would have been paid in full if Xfinity didn't give me credits last month then they took it back.
I called in to complain and asked to speak to a manager I am still waiting on that manager to call me after 2 weeks passed and I didn't get a call from a manager I called in and a demanded a manager and manager Jam, who partnered with a billing representative who gave me some credits. Again I shouldn't be held responsible for late fees or reconnection fee since I have be trying to get my bill resolved just check how many times I have called in since July...

I called to inquire on their services and little did I know they would use my information in a negative way. The customer service rep asked for my personal information and while on hold the call disconnected. I decided to wait until after the Holiday's to call them back. Well, I was at work a few days later and I received a phone call from a Tech stating he was at my house to install the my services, WHAT SERVICES?! I did not order any services through them.
The agent I spoke to took it upon herself to set up services without my permission! I lost 45-60 minutes of my day on the phone trying to make sure the right department was aware of my situation. I spoke to the Fraud Department and now I am waiting for a call back from the Executive Office. I am very disappointed in the way Comcast conducts business. This story is obviously much longer than I will share but I wanted people to know my situation in hopes that it might save a person or two from being victimized by Comcast like I was.

I've been a paying Comcast customer for ten years now. At least every six months something goes wrong with the service. Their customer service hotline is deplorable. They charged my account for HD for two months without even giving me the service! Their phone representatives are by far the worst, and their technicians aren't close behind. The reps on their customer service hotline treat you like a number and they play hot potato with you, constantly switching you to "our manager" or "our technician".
Yesterday (12/18/2016) we spent an hour and a half simply trying to get our HD signal, and it took SIX representatives. Today I go to use my TV and the HD service is gone... Again. Another hour on the phone and twenty minutes into my football game, I finally have HD. This is not an isolated event. There are hundreds -- if not thousands -- of stories exactly like mine. DO NOT give your money to Comcast because you will definitely regret it. Tomorrow I will be shopping for a new television provider.

I moved to a community few months ago and sadly they told me that I was obligated to use Comcast. I used to use AT&T and it was the best, no problem with either my TV or internet service. I started to use Xfinity and the On Demand service is so limited, I set up for recording my favorites shows and when I get home ready to watch guess what??? Nothing was recorded!!! The channels does not have any sequence or logic, for example channel 7 is the 432??? Really!!! Plus is really, really expensive. If you want to have services with channels that you actually want to watch, if you get the cheap package include a bunch of channel that nobody ever watch!!!
The internet service sucks, is really, really slow, and even if you try to pay more for better service you will have problems anyways so is worst because it feels like I'm paying just for NOTHING!!! We work very hard for our money so I think we deserve to get home and not be frustrated!!! NO stars for Comcast Xfinity!!! COMCAST people, work harder and give a good service!!! I want move out of this place just for this reason!!!

We relocated to another apt and was blatantly lied to by Ricardo ** (who is the Comcast contact person of Lex Waterfront Apts) in Washington DC. Leasing Dept of Lex Waterfront directed us to contact Roberto ** for pricing etc on Comcast services. We asked Ricardo ** what the cost and process would be since we were comparing to go with Comcast OR another cable company, if we transferred from our old apt to the new apt at Lex Waterfront, and Ricardo ** stated we would pay nothing and it would be completely free since we are relocating and that he would 'take care of it'. Roberto ** sent Demonte (Comcast technician) because the apt never had Comcast before and therefore needed a technician to come out and do something with the wire behind the cable panel. Demonte came by the weekend after and broke the panel box in our new place, and the panel has been dangling off the wall ever since.
Demonte also did not screw the electrical plate back to the wall, and that is also hanging off the wall until this day. Only one or two days after technician Demonte so called connected the Comcast cable and internet, our internet service kept disconnecting from the network, and when we tried to reconnect, it would either never connect or took over an hour to connect. Many times it did not connect back to the network. We had to go downstairs to use the internet because the network was NOT AT ALL RELIABLE. We called and texted both Ricardo ** and Demonte on numerous times and neither Ricardo or Demonte returned our calls or texts. It was evident Ricardo ** received our texts messages, as he also had an iPhone and the 'read message' indication appeared after we sent the text messages. We expressed on numerous voicemails and text messaging the internet was not working and no one ever got back to us.
We then called Comcast 1-800 number to let customer service aware our internet was not working, and the customer service agent (who was clearly overseas) said she would schedule another technician the following weekend. The technician never showed, after I waited the ENTIRE DAY in the apt waiting for the technician to show. I called Comcast 2-3 hours after the scheduled time, and Comcast agent (again another agent overseas) stated there was NO SCHEDULED APPT. I then told the agent to terminate my internet service, and that I wanted to change my package, because my internet was not working and they couldn't seem to get anything done correctly, besides taking my money!! So, after this call, I realized Comcast was still billing me 2 months additionally for the internet AND continued to bill me for the relocation fee AND for internet service I never received.
The internet disconnecting on its own caused me many nights of having to redo work online, as the internet would just disconnect by itself causing me having to re-type my work on more than a handful of times. After receiving 2 months of additional bills of services I've yet to receive correctly, I terminated the entire account completely. Now I am getting all kinds of collection notices, however, I've sought legal advice and will be proceeding with taking Comcast to DC courts for the breach of contract, misrepresentation and deceptive business practice. Comcast is a FRAUDULENT company and UNSCRUPULOUS! They bill and charge you for things you are not even receiving. Go with another cable company. It's not worth the headache nor the money. See you in court Comcast!!!

I called to have my service cut back because my bill was approaching $200/mo. I very carefully said, "I want you disconnect everything but the internet and I want this to be a short call. Will you allow me to do that?" And of course the poor support person offered me several other options to which I replied, "Do you not understand? I don't want anything but internet..." and, of course, that was followed with "Why why why? blah blah blah." So finally I was allowed to have only internet for $79/mo. Then 2 days later I received not one but two calls asking why I had cut my service back. I told them to stop calling and they did.
Then a month later I received an "important update" to my account telling me that they had made a mistake and forgot to charge me for voice services and that my bill will reflect this new charge from this point on. I logged into my online account and this charge is nowhere to be found, but I'm sure it will appear in my monthly charge. So back to "customer support". I have a feeling this is just the beginning. This company is the worst, but they are the only game in town in my part of the world.

Used Comcast for 20 years, put up with the increasing prices until they hit $211/month. Called to cancel and was cajoled into keeping with a PROMISE of no price increases for 2 years and a new price of 161.00. After one year the price jumped back up, I called and was told I was on a 2 year contract, not a 2 year price guarantee. Liars, Liars, I referenced my notes, referred to named individuals to no avail. I decided to quit after the next 12 months and now have Fios, just as fast, easier to use, have two DVRs instead of one AND only pay $99/month with a written price guarantee for two years. Xfinity lies and will always lie, they are instructed to say anything to keep you from dropping and justify their lies by surreptitious emails sent months later informing you that you are under price contract for 12 months, usage contract for 24. If you don't read the fine print in your junk email, they got you. But LIE to your face.

I received a phone call and email within just few hours of sending a complaint email to Charlie **. I came across this email address from a different forum which encouraged customers to contact Mr. ** for issues. I was very impressed that my concern was acknowledged right away. Finally I felt like I was being heard!
I spoke to Evan from corporate who was extremely professional and helpful. Right away he expressed his concern and immediate attention to this matter. He showed empathy and I felt for the first time I was speaking to someone who was listening to me and not just typing up the notes in the system to end the call.
Evan was able to get a manager and technician to come in for my next appointment to make sure all installations are properly handled. The manager and technician who arrived were fantastic. They arrived on time and even gave me a call before hand to confirm the appointment. The manager gave me his direct phone line to call for any future issues. This is exactly what a great customer service looks like. Extremely pleased.
Even though I experienced several issues with Comcast, I'm happy to say the way Evan from the corporate office handled my issue has changed my perception of Comcast. I'm not saying the regular customer service has changed and I hope I don't have to call them again. But I'm happy to say I have two individuals I can reach out to (Evan and manager) for any future hiccups.

I would like to address the horrendous customer experience I have encountered with Comcast customer service. Never in my prior experiences with any company, have I spent hours and hours on the phone defending the unauthorized charges, inconvenience, and headache caused. Customers should not be expected to make continuous calls and waste their time on issues that should never occur in the first place. When one issue is resolved, another one comes up. This is all within 2 month time frame of frustration with your company. I would like to give you a small recap of my timeline with Comcast. I've been a customer for 2 years now.
Transfer of Services: Personal item taken and late appointment show. I had a transfer of services to my new apartment. The technician showed up after the time window of 3-5pm. Keep in mind he showed up after 5pm without communicating with me that he will be late or on the way. I believe this is extremely unprofessional and unnecessary for customers who take a day off from work. If I'm required to be there during that timeframe, the same courtesy should be returned. Once he arrived, he was very unprofessional and ended up taking my PERSONAL Ethernet cord with him.
As soon as I realized which was within 30 mins of him leaving, I called the customer service and informed them to please contact him right away. After being comforted the call was directed to the department and they will call me as soon as possible, I decided to wait. Another day went by and no call. I had to call back the customer service number and was informed that I never placed any calls in the first place! To say I never placed a call regarding this incident is just outrageous. I brought my own modem in hopes of saving money and now part my equipment was missing due to Comcast negligence. Comcast decided to drop off an Ethernet cord which was not the one that came with the package but after frustrated calls I decided to settle for it and move on.
Continued to be charged for returned modem. The modem was returned to the technician at the time of the appointment. He did not give me any receipt so I assumed the modem will be returned properly and I will not be charged onward. I continued to receive phone calls regarding returning my modem and on top of that the charges were never removed. Once I notified Comcast that the modem was returned, they told me they don't have any record of it being returned! Can you sense the theme here in which Comcast continues to lie to their customers and scam them for charges they are not liable for. After filing a complaint with FTC, the charges were finally dropped. But why does it have to take this much effort from a customer to gain back the credit and respect?
Interrupted cable services: cable box continued to reboot and not work for entire duration of services. I continued to have cable connectivity issues and called Comcast for technical support. The representative could not resolve the issue and informed me that the modem I brought was no longer compatible with Comcast requirements. This is the same modem listed on the Comcast website as being COMPATIBLE. Why does Comcast continue to lie to customers by placing false information on their websites. After doing more research and realizing that in fact my modem IS compatible, I decided to call Comcast again. The second representative informed me this time that my modem IS Compatible. This continuous cycle of lies and misinformed communication should be a lawsuit itself. So the issue here after multiple calls was that an technician will have to come in.
Cable box was replaced by a great customer service representative. The technician that came for next appointment was fantastic. He arrived on time and was professional and courteous. He replaced the cable box and told me the issue was with the old box. The appointment was quick and my cable was back running. I was very happy and felt satisfied with the experience.
The next bill showed the new cable box fee of $19.95. Ready to pay my next bill and thinking okay no more issues now but I was wrong. There was an additional $19.95 fee on my bill (not previously there and nor did I request this service) for AnyRoom DVR and HD Technology Fees. Once again, I had to spend time away from work calling Comcast to inquiry about this fee. The representative informed me that the fee is from the type of cable box I had. Why was I not informed during the installation fee that this particular box will be extra $20? I did not request a special box to be placed. I only wanted my cable to start working and whichever box the technician chose to replace was not within my knowledge. Once again the common theme of Comcast issuing unauthorized charges and miscommunication to their customers.
I'm afraid when I exchange the HD cable box with the standard box, Comcast will have no record of the exchange and continue to charge me as they did with my modem. Where is the trust and respect for Comcast who are paying hundreds of dollars monthly for your services? This is no way to treat customers and continue to cause frustration and headache for them. Google Comcast customer service and you will see the common theme of unauthorized charges of returned modems and inaccurate information given by Comcast representatives. Not to mention the recent lawsuit on returned modems. I urge you to take this consideration from a hard working professional who at their wits' end on dealing with Comcast.

Recently my cable box began acting peculiarly. I called Comcast and they said the box needed to be replaced and that it would require a service visit but no charge if the box was not operating properly. The technician who replaced the cable box indicated that the box was used when it was installed and should never have been installed in the first place. The entire service visit lasted 20 minutes with the tech installing a new cable box. When I asked if there would be a service charge, he indicated that, since the cable box was defective, there would be no charge. This month my COMCAST bill indicated a service charge of $50 to replace their defective cable box. When I called to complain, the company representative kept saying that I had agreed to the service fee (NOT TRUE) and that I had requested a change in the cable box even though the one that was in place was defective (this charge is absolutely false).
When I asked to speak to a manager, I was told none was available to speak to me and that someone would call me back in 24 hours. No manager on site??? I found the entire process totally unresponsive, humiliating, and clearly aimed at justifying an erroneous charge. I do not believe that customers should be subjected to this type of bullying and that the poor customer rating for Comcast is justified. I would not, in all good conscience, recommend this company to anyone seeking cable service.

Comcast had to rebrand because their overall consumer ratings were so poor. Well Xfinity (Comcast's rebranding entity) has proven to be no better. In fact it's the same pile of... well we all know what Comcast was. Let me list just a few of my top complaints about the lack of promises that Xfinity misrepresents; first the outages of service. The same problem as with Comcast and they can't even blame it on the weather. Next, their On Demand. Sure you can have free viewing of every horrible TV show ever made but try and watch any of the top ten series from the beginning and you will have to pay for a subscription or purchase the earlier seasons on top of your monthly rip off. Then if you do watch a series on their on demand, it will be assured riddled with commercials, and not different commercials, the same ones, over and over each commercial break.
If that is not bad enough, I'm a sound man and notice the volume difference from show to commercial without touching the volume, so I measure it with a decibel meter (an instrument that measures volume of sound). Well the commercials play 4 to 5 decibels louder than the series episode that is being viewed. I find that intrusive. Why play the commercials louder? They are already playing the same ones over and over, and now louder. We get to pay for all of that. Garage, Xfinity, bull, Comcast, it's all the same.
