Today, I discovered that COMCAST made an unauthorized charge for 225.33 on my bank account. After some research, it was learned that this payment was made in error by a COMCAST employee as he worked with me (telephone call, 6/13/17) to set up a payment arrangement for a future date. While a supervisor named Veronica (refused to give further identification) agreed that the notes in her system verify my story - that the payment was not authorized, that the error was made by COMCAST employee, she insists that COMCAST will not refund this charge and will not be held liable for their employee's mistake. She bases this refusal on the fact that this money was owed to COMCAST.
I am frustrated by the fact the supervisor acknowledges that my plan to pay this amount was slated for July 1st, agrees that this is an unauthorized payment made in error by a COMCAST employee but informs me that COMCAST will keep my funds and not provide any sort of refund. Later employees were much kinder, but supported supervisor Veronica’s assertion that no refund would be made. I am hurt by the financial circumstances of this error, but outraged by the COMCAST employee’s insistence that they are able to keep my funds with or without my consent.
In order to resolve this issue I would like any funds that were deducted from my bank account without my permission to be returned. I would like all overdrafts accrued due to this issue to be reimbursed, I would like some acknowledgement from COMCAST it is not their policy to take and keep money from customer’s bank accounts without authorization or consent.

We own two homes, one has Comcast Xfinity and the other has Spectrum Charter. The difference in the quality of service is dramatic. When I recently called Charter for service because a storm fried our cable modem and one of the TV cable boxes, the experience was amazingly good right from the beginning. I called at 7 am, and only had to press 3 keys to get to a human being. With Comcast, it takes a lot more time and many more key selections to get to a human being. The person I was connected with was pleasant and spoke English perfectly. With Comcast, I'm usually on hold for a while and then get a person whose English is often times poor and they are robotic in their questions and answers.
With Charter today, they immediately understood the problem, looked at where we were located and said they would send a technician to our home FOR FREE TODAY. With Comcast, they will offer to ship you (at your cost) new units or you can (for free) pick them up at a Comcast location. Either way, you have to connect and disconnect everything yourself. The last time I had a similar issue with Comcast, it took 4 days to get the new equipment and they lost the equipment I sent back (thankfully I saved the proof it was delivered). Of course they charged me for the equipment and shipping they said they would waive. Which brings me to Billing.
I'm beyond frustrated with their bills. I'm a CPA and I find their bills and prorations confusing as hell. With 100% assurance, I can tell you that I have NEVER received a correct bill from Comcast after a change, and I can also tell you with 100% assurance the error has NEVER been in my favor, which raises suspicion that they aren't really errors. I no longer believe them when they say they will waive a fee because they don't. I no longer believe them when they say an estimated bill amount under a new plan. There are always hidden fees. This last time, they gave me an estimated monthly amount that didn't include $17/month in additional fees. They don't quote the broadcast fee or the hd fee because "they can change". So can taxes!!! People don't care that it can change... They want a real monthly number of what they can expect to pay each month. As soon as U-verse is available at our lake home, we'll drop Comcast like a hot potato.

I have had issues with my cable (cable/internet service with Xfinity) for months and had an appointment with a technician today to finally check to see if there was an issue in the wiring (as I suspected and suggested to them many times over the course of 6 months). The technician did not show up and did not call. I called three times and was told he was on his way and to give him 30 more minutes only to find out that the service call had been cancelled in the computer. A supervisor then rescheduled the appointment for the next day without contacting me. The escalation department called to inform me that they suspected that there was a splitter on my box and that I would have to pay $60 to have it fixed????
I assured her that if there was a splitter, it was installed by her technicians and that no one had been to my house. That was a direct lie. To get horrible customer service and then be accused of trying to doing something to cause the issue is beyond ridiculous and insulting - and we get to pay a high price for this terrible service. After going through at least 10 customer service agents, not one person had documented my issues correctly. I highly suggest you avoid this business at all costs.

High speed internet works occasionally at best. Solutions involve "upgrades" that don't resolve the issues. But don't worry they now have you locked into a new agreement which will cost you to cancel. If you want substandard internet and have hours to spend on the phone to talk in circles with customer service this might be a good option for you. I support recorded phone calls. Why are they unable to produce a transcript of the calls to verify what was discussed? Why are they unable to resend you the agreement that was emailed to you? Their notes indicate that the agreement was sent so it must be true... Please note that $250-$300 monthly bills were paid on time, every month. I will pay their $180 cancellation fee because I care about my credit rating but it doesn't mean I will go away quietly!

When it comes to Comcast, I am not sure where to start from? Last year we opted for one of their promotional packages and as a new customer it was advertised as $54.99 per month deal for TV + Internet. Later, I got my first bill in the amount of $88.99. I had to spend hours and hours on call, long call-wait times for customer care and finally the amount came out to be $64.99 without taxes but including what is called "broadcast" fee. As a layman, how am I supposed to be aware of this additional fee? Isn't transparency an important factor in business? Secondly, these offers are only for "new" customers and they do not, I repeat DO NOT care about existing customers. No deals or offers for them. After 12 months' usage I am required to pay $84.99 for the same package. No deal for existing customer. I am highly dissatisfied with Comcast, their internet speeds are slower at night and customer service is slower than their internet speeds.

So about a month ago I went back to Comcast after not having them for a long time. I thought they had changed. Well found out that I had two other bills that were past due so I made arrangements with them to pay off the bills. Well they turned my cable on. Then two weeks after they turned it on I got one of my bills paid off. Then that just left the other bill and then I had paid 50 on the other bill and had a balance of 98 dollars.
I told them that I had gotten laid off of my job for three weeks and was not able to pay the bill until the week after the 9th. Now it is Monday and they shut me off. When I called them and told them that I did not agree to the 9th they told me, "Oh well too bad. That is what was set and we will not turn your service back on until the rest of the bill is paid." This place is a joke. People are rude and do what they want and put on your account what they want. This is really unfair. I hate Comcast so if you are thinking about getting them run as fast as you can. They are a rip-off and will screw you any way they can.

Comcast should win the award for the worst company for all time. I have had Comcast cable twice, once by choice and again briefly because I didn't have a choice. I moved into a new area in September of 2015. I was not the first by any means. It is now June 2016 and Comcast is tearing up the yards to put in cable lines. I have had very satisfactory cable, internet and phone from AT&T. I don't need or want Comcast. However, I don't have a choice but to have my yard dug up. I have gone to a lot of expense and work to make my yard look nice. I understand that I have an easement that allows them to dig. My point is that it's typical of Comcast to be late. I'm sure this is a financial benefit to them by waiting until there are more customers. I am personally sending an email to every homeowner begging them to either discontinue or not sign up with Comcast.

Beware: I moved from one location to another and was advised that a Technician needed to hook up my cable. I knew this sounded strange since there was already cable service. In any case on May 1, 2017 the technician came out. I asked him to make sure my applications are on my Vizio Smart TV. Last Thursday, guess what the crooked Tech disabled my Apps. I only had Netflix. I contacted Comcast and spoke with an Indian guy who advised me that he could not assist me with restoring my Apps because Hulu and Amazon Prime are Comcast's competitors!!! He said Netflix works with Comcast.
I spent 4 hours on the phone and a no one made an effort to resolve the problem. I finally contacted Vizio and the representative walked me through in an effort to restore my Apps. I have filed a formal complaint with the FCC because Comcast is likely doing this to all new customers in an effort to force you to pay for their services that are free on either Hulu or Amazon Prime.
I am asking the FCC to look into filing a Class Action because I am almost certain that I am not the first person this has happened. Only customers are thinking that something went wrong with the Apps when it is the Technician who at the behest of Comcast is disabling Apps from your Smart TV. Who gives Comcast the right to do this. I do not want another Tech to touch my TV.

I've been involved with Comcast for over 20 years. They are not a reputable company and give you a "promotion" temporarily, then they hit you with full price. I would pay more to go with a different company because I don't think they've been fair. Bottom line, Comcast sucks bad, extremely bad! Their sales team is the worst. I hate the company and only remained because I need internet and there is no other supplier. Comcast can kiss my **, they are horrible!!! Don't use them if unless you have to!

I went to local Comcast office to drop off the one of tv cable that we aren't using, and asked Comcast guy in office what should I do to downgrade package we have? He gave me a piece of paper with all different channels package. And then I called Comcast to downgrade our package that he said we will have more than 100 channels. Once they changed our package, I turned on tv and couldn't find channel that was on paper that Comcast office gave me. I called Comcast again, and another guy picked phone up and said I will have only 80 channels and channels list that I got from COMCAST IS NOT ACCURATE!!! OMG!! It reminded me that why we left Comcast 3 years ago.
Comcast still has no ideas what they are doing. They offered 3 different informations to get customers??? And it turned out I got nothing but local channels which I can get from antenna!!! We didn't have options to choose providers but Comcast, they are the only one available in town I live. Worst part of all this was that even manager that I talked to, didn't have any solution over THEIR MISTAKES!!!! Worst dumb provider ever.

I obtain services with Comcast/Xfinity back in Feb. Since I obtain services with this scammers, I was not able to use my service due to technical issues, they sent technicians twice to my house to fix the issues. After that issues was not resolve, I kept calling these jokers because I wasn't able to issues my services for over a month, tech change my equipment and problems continues. They had the guts to send me the bill for 249.50, I call and told them why they were charging me when I have not been able to use my service, I discuss with the rep, I talked to everything and when she looked in my account there were no noted that I call to complaint and to my surprise no notes that they have sent over a technician to my house... I call in Feb right after I got the service in March, April, May end and June.
On May 26th when I call and told them I need to resolve the issues I was facing because I wasn't able to use my service why they kept billing me even though I returned all the equipment, the reply I talked to name NATE batch number 1883 told me that don't worry that they were going to disregards the charges because the issues I had... Then to my surprise on June 9th I received a phone call from collection on behalf of Comcast/Xfinity telling me to pay, I explain to the collection agency what happen they suggested me to call, so I call immediately I hang up with the collection agency. Xfinity told me that I need to pay the charges that were no notes on my account that they sent over a tech to my house and PLUS no notes about disregarding the amount they were charging me. I told them I need them to scale the case and request a recording of my phone calls, because I'm going to pursue legal charges.
They lie to the consumers telling you they are notating the account on everything they discuss with you and it's a total LIE, they don't. The fact that they told me no technician went to my house and that no one notated the account to credit me for the charges it's a total fraud to consumers. THIS COMPANY ARE TOTAL LAIRS... When you call back problem after problem the reps don't notate the account and they tell you "Sorry we can't help you. There is no note on your account about any issues..." I'm going to pursue with legal charges for the fact that they tell you something total different and then file for collection to screw people's credit and reputation when they fail to comply... This will be the last time they screw consumers over...

I was a CenturyLink customer and I moved. The previous owner had Comcast so I called Comcast customer service. They suggested I go to my local store and pick up the required equipment and self-install. IT'S VERY EASY. I followed instructions and did what Comcast suggested. NOTHING WORKED. I called customer service. They said, "It's a switch. We have to turn back on which is outside. We have someone out Friday, June 2nd. NO SHOW NO CALL. 3rd NO SHOW NO CALL. 4,5,6,7... 8th June NO SHOW NO CALL. I have called them every day for 6 days. "WE ARE VERY SORRY WE WILL HAVE SOME OUT TODAY." DAY #7 I decided to cancel. COMCAST customer services reaction, "OH ok we are very sorry."
I guess they do not care since they have no competition in Tallahassee. It's a shame. I have Comcast for my business and pay over $2500 mo. I will cancel that as well. I am in the sales business and see over 70 guests a day. Guess what I will be talking about?? And also 48 employees. I guess my next meeting will be about my experience and how to respect other's time. This customer service will not make America great again.

In October of 2016, I received a call and an email from Comcast that the external cable line going into my condo was defective. There were no issues internally and the picture and functionality were perfectly fine. When I contacted them directly I was told that I would not be charged for a visit because the appointment was at their request. Regardless, I complied; made a service appointment and a tech came to my home in January 2017. When I made the appointment I asked twice if I would be charged, and I was told no. The tech disconnected one line, and when asked if he would replace it, he stated that he could not do that, he didn’t have the right equipment. I told him to put it back the way it was, and he stated that he could not do that either. I called Comcast after he left to complain, and was told to make a follow up appointment to have the line reconnected. Again, I asked if I was going to be charged, and I was told no.
Comcast came in April 2017 and replaced the line. I called to thank Comcast for the professionalism of the tech as the visit took ten minutes. Again I asked if I would be charged for the visit, the response was no "as it was no fault of mine, I would not be charged". My direct debit billing for May 2017 contained a $60 charge for an installation fee. I called today, June 9, 2017 and spent 40 minutes on the phone with a Comcast representative. Of course, and not surprising, Rose ** “could” not help me. In the past, I have always appreciated the customer service provided by Comcast. At this point, I lost $60 and wasted three hours of phone time; but they have lost my respect and loyalty. I will never recommend them if fact I will continue to write this complaint until I receive an apology.

Billing System is flawed. Comcast required us to set up paperless billing and auto payments to keep our "deal". Every month Comcast will text my cell, call, and send mail messages threatening to disconnect us if we don't pay today. I call and say that we have auto pay set up, they confirm that it is set up... They apologize and ask me to disregard their messages. Also advise all to check their bill every month! We were charged for a modem rental when we had our own. I think the "m" in Comcast should be an "n".

I had a Comcast bundle. This included the phone, internet and cable. After being stuck in a 2yr. contract, I was able to switch to a lower bundle. I didn't need the phone. They sent me the final bill of the last contract and I almost fainted. How could it be so much and I have never been late. I have all the bills and receipts from 2015 to present. I called almost daily to get it resolved. Every time an agent gave me a date and said I didn't pay. I pulled up the receipt. They always told me they would call me back and never do. I asked them to mail me a billing history with the unpaid date circled. They never have. I and many others have been through Comcast coming up with extra amounts on your bill with no explanation.
I'm on a limited income and pay all my bills on time to avoid getting behind. The way I figured is they charge you in advance for your services. You look like you are behind all the time, when you are not. It should not be this expensive to watch t.v. anyway. I'm done with them. They're BAD for my health. I read all the reviews about how good their customer service is. Just wait until they have a billing problem or they are overcharged.

I have been with Comcast for 3 years now. I watched my bill start out at 151.48 and over the 3 years 230.71. When I called they would tell me they would fix it or the next month bill was higher. I got nowhere with talking to Comcast. Had nothing but problems with internet services. Just to call and sit on the line for hours. Call over and over. I got tired of having to call. In one month my bill jumped 40.00 dollars, the next 5 more. After a 80.00 dollars increase, I said I have had enough. Am switching to EPB and all my family has and they all say nothing but good things.
So Comcast when you have good customer maybe you should try working with them or giving them what you offer new ones. Very disappointed with Comcast.

My wife sold her home in September 2016. She loaded up her Comcast equipment and delivered it to the Comcast store in Franklin, TN. She was advised that she had $400 of credit. Since she was building a new home she told them to just use the credit on future charges. In April of 2017 we moved in. Against my wishes she decided to use Comcast again and they installed both, tv and Internet service. Over the last two months she has spent countless hours on the phone and on three separate occasions she has been told the problem has been identified and would be fixed. They say we owe over $500 with no acknowledgment of the existing credit. Today they pulled the switch on the TV. Can nothing be done about their incompetence? I thought AT&T Texas was bad.

I have been a loyal customer since 2015 and I have had several internet/cable companies due to being in the Navy. Lately I have been having difficulties ranging from messed up bills, no supervisor contact, cancellations and a guaranteed price from a lady in corporate. My bundle deal of cable and internet plus all the other nonsense they put on my bill reads $136. After I was assured that my bill will never be over $100. I have had my bill adjusted once down to $87. Everyone that I have spoke to is always rude and never fixes anything. And if they do it is temporary. I say that I want to switch companies and they don't even put up a fight.
I've seen cheaper deals that they have to offer but always tell me that the offer isn't available, while I'll be on the phone and their website at the same time. I'm sick of going around in circles with them on the phone on a monthly basis and sometimes it's more than once a month.

I have been a Comcast customer for a long time. Mainly because aside from DirecTV and Dish they were the only other cable around. I am absolutely disgusted with them. I switched our phone and internet over to a business acct recently. I was not aware until a few weeks ago that not only was I paying for home security (which is a bad joke) that I had cancelled 6 months prior they also messed up and never cancelled the phone and internet on the residential account. So not only was I paying security that was cancelled I was also paying internet x2 and phone x2. I knew my bills were both really high but never had time to really look into it. So we called and thought they were going to finally fix it after trying to explain to at least 8 different people. They put a credit on our account for all the months we were overpaying. Said they had to send a tech out to replace the boxes. I didn't question it enough clearly. They guy was literally here from 5 - 1030 pm.
We go to watch TV the next day only to find out they knocked us down to boxes that won't let us watch On Demand or DVR. I was livid. I went to the store locally. Was given a "temp" box and upgraded. Was made to agree to pay $40 for another tech to come back out within a few days of the last one. The day before the appt I get a call saying I would have to pay $100 deposit for the upgrade since my acct was late within the last 6 months. Well hmmm you're double dipping on phone and internet yet you want another $100. Are they crazy? So I have been going back and forth with them over messages on FB for 2 weeks now. Still don't have working cable. I refuse to pay a deposit or for someone to come out. This wasn't my mistake. So today I finally told them to just send me a check for the credits and I will go elsewhere.
This guy tells me, "We are sorry to see you go". Sorry to see me go? Really I couldn't tell. Most companies would want to make it right and not lose a customer who uses you for residential and business. They treat their customers like crap and when you call to speak to someone it's always someone in another country who hardly speaks English. I even asked for a supervisor in the US and still ended up with someone in another country. I HATE them! I've never dealt with such a horrible company!

When I asked about being credited back for the money I spent but was unable to receive the service the customer service rep offered me 30 dollars stating that there were no credits to offer. Even though my phone had clearly not been used in over 8 months. I let them know that their rep said I would be compensated for any time I was unable to use service and they still denied me any other credits.
They had no problem taking my money month after month but a huge problem honoring what their representative said. Granted I may have taken my time making sure I was on top of it, but I was under the impression I would be compensated for service I was unable to use. Terrible customer service, very rude! Agent ** was extremely rude. I am waiting for a call from the supervisor Kinn to see what he has to say. Very upset about the service. I will be canceling immediately.

Unfortunately I have been a Comcast customer for many years. Throughout these years I have experienced nothing but issues. From billing to increases without warning to being billed for 3 months on a canceled old address account. In addition, if you are a new customer or existing, plan on many, many technical issue calls and time away from work to be home for the many technicians you will meet. I actually feel sorry for the representatives that day in and day out have to deal with unhappy customers. If you are looking into this service my advice to you is RUN!

I have been having an issue with Comcast for over a year now. The internet connection drops randomly throughout the day or night. I have spent countless time and calls to support. Had multiple technicians to my house with no real fix. The phone technician said the issue was because I was using a 2.0 DOCSIS modem and that I needed to upgrade to a 3.0. I did that and still had the same issue. The technician that came out months ago said there was a large amount of interference at the lines. He did nothing but what all the others have ever done, cut the ends of my now very short lines and put new tips on. He also put a 4 way CommScope splitter on my line and said the megahertz were too high.
I worked with Jasmine (Phone **) from the corporate office and a level 3 technician in Colorado (888-824-8988 ext. **). My billing is constantly wrong, what is promised never comes to fruition, and I have been charged for services or hardware I did not approve or even have. The last phone tech I spoke blamed my router without doing any troubleshooting. This is very typical of Comcast. To blame any hardware that is not theirs. Carlos was the last technician that came out and I have dealt with. He came out, did not fix issue, gave me his number ** and said to call him with any issues. All he did was tell me what I already knew, there was feedback coming from the lines outside. He cut my lines tips again, making them even shorter and put a 2-way CommScope splitter on my line.
He asked me to call him if I had any issues after he left. I called him once a week for two weeks right after he left. I left him a voicemail each time with no returned call. I called Comcast today and they will not correct my new bill that they completely messed up. It should be $29 a month for 25mbps and they are charging me $128.55. They will not change it at this time. I called about a month ago to have my speed lowered from 75mbps to 25mbps and price lowered to $29 a month for one year because they would not honor my old rate of $39 a month for 75mbps. They never locked the price in (This has happened before) and the representative today said he could lower my speed to 5mbps. He refused to let me speak with management throughout the call after I asked multiple times.
I called Jasmine and the level 3 tech today and left them voicemails. I am also not getting the speeds promised and that I am paying for. They are averaging about half. I will file complaints with as many places as possible. I have been told they have records of each time my connection drops, when I do a speed test on their website, and all my calls. The internet connection dropped while I was writing this complaint. I feel like the issue should be completely fixed and I should be refunded for a year of service charges for the amount of trouble and time I have had to spend dealing with Comcast/Xfinity.

I am writing this review after speaking to people at corporate headquarters twice in a six-month period. Comcast actually sent a crew of three supervisors to my home to keep me with them after the latest incident, a talk which lasted for three hours where I was promised my service would be cut 50% in cost. We will get back to that. I have had Comcast since 1999. The only other option available in our area was RCN until about a year ago, when Verizon came to town, which I am switching to tomorrow. I call Comcast Customer Service on average of three times a month. Because of my work schedule, I typically speak with someone from the Philippines, where they speak English, but when you give them your issue, they then ask you if you're having said issue at least 30 times as if you're speaking to your three year old when he's throwing a temper tantrum.
Recently, Comcast was going to "fix my service". They came to the house in a team of three, got mud all over our new carpet and fixed nothing. This is the typical Comcast experience. I called and another "advanced technician" was sent out. He was **. Before someone reads this and tosses in a political view, I'm a ** guy too. He looked at the wiring and asked, "Let me guess, ** did this"? WOW. Use that word all you want at home or with your buddies, but at work? Probably not a good idea. Asked him to leave and called Comcast. I told them between their awful service and having a guy speak like that in my house I'd like to cancel. They sent out three people.
Those three people promised my bill would come down from $275 to $125 a month and that the guy was harshly dealt with. Frankly, at this point I had dealt with 17 years of Comcast's chicanery. I just wanted out. They told me if I got out, I'd have to pay an early termination fee. I was then given the option of three DVRs, a $150 discount per month, a $600 credit, every channel available, no contract and three hours of butt kissing. I stayed.
Our next bill? $277. $137 in fees. Also, they put me BACK ON A CONTRACT FOR TWO YEARS. I spoke to the assistant to the VP of Customer Relations for Comcast. He essentially told me that while the racism was unfortunate and treatment was horrendous, I could pay them and the termination fee. I let them know, they could pry the final bill and termination fee from my cold, dead fingers. They get two stars because you get a clear picture and a lot of movies, when it's actually working. Also, the 200,000 over 15 speed they offer? It tested 17,000 over 12 consistently on Ookla, Speakeasy and Comcast's own speed test sites.
Tomorrow, I'll have Verizon. Total bill with FEES AND TAXES? $118.27. HBO included for the wife. No contract. Internet speed at a number I can't fully comprehend. Will I miss 500 channels I couldn't care about? Yes. Will I save $170 and wanting to kill people in the process? Yes. Stay away from Comcast. They're the neighborhood bully that knows they can beat you down. Living in Philadelphia makes it so much more disgusting to deal with them. Seeing their towers makes me vomit these days.

I moved from one property to another on the same street in June 2013 and moved my Comcast's account and equipment as well. The company sent their technicians, installed and started billing me on the new address right away. In the last quarter of last year I get an aggressive call from a collection company called IC Systems indicating that they had a bill pending from Comcast on my previous address for USD 1.032. I answered that this wasn't possible as I closed the account and moved with them to a new property 3 years ago. Then I called Comcast informing them about this, explaining the same and I also called the collection agency after receiving threatening letters trying to collect the amount.
I called numerous times both IC Systems and Comcast, both of them saying on every occasion that they would look into the matter and solve it. Finally IC Systems reported the case to the credit rating agencies, affecting my score (Which by the time was Excellent and is now Weak) and telling me in February that they talked to Comcast and the amount was pending. We finally were able to get a Comcast executive to take this seriously, solve the matter and a letter from IC Systems to dismiss the pending amount, recognizing their mistake. Now I am in the situation that my credit score is affected with the three major credit rating agencies and I need to call them one by one to try to explain and solve this matter... It's a pity that Comcast, having a good cable and Internet service, manages their customer relations so poorly, ruining all the work which I suppose a lot of people do in the company to be this way.

I agree with some of the posts in reference to billing. I hope before people purchase this product they will read these complaints. First I do not agree with having a two-year agreement with only a one year price lock. Check out AT&T U-verse it is just the opposite. I was never told how much the early termination fee was. Nonetheless the bill went up so much after the first year it was not affordable. However I did pay it but after almost 2 years I said no more and I called to reduce services to lower the bill. Apparently that automatically extended the agreement another two years but again was never told. The channel lineup for minimum is exactly what it says minimum and still expensive so I switched to U-verse which gave me the U300 package that included Showtime, a couple of more movie channels, all the equipment high-speed, two DVRs and phone for $113 a month plus tax.
I had called to cancel Comcast and was informed that I had this $200 early termination fee and I said, "Absolutely not". I was not told anything about that or a two-year extension. The woman said that they record all phone calls and I said, "That's not a problem. Play it back I'm waiting." Of course she couldn't so went to a supervisor or just put me on hold and filed her nails whatever and came back and said, "OK we'll agree to a $50 termination fee. Wasn't worth the arguing and I agreed to it. I recommend everybody getting the app called TapeACall or one similar. I called back again to confirm the termination fee of only $50 and it was confirmed by another lady. Of course I taped that call. I kept getting bills for the full termination fee and then when I called back some rude girl said that "no one up here has the authority to waive or reduce early termination fees and that includes supervisors".
When I told her I had recorded the call stating that she said she didn't care and I would be responsible for the full amount. I called the corporate headquarters in Philadelphia and spoke to the executive office and the lady there told me she sees in the notes that I was promised a $50 early termination fee but because of the credit on my account from having paid the last bill in full I only had a $20 balance and she would write it off because of all the problems. That didn't happen and I continued to get bills so I just sent the $20 to the CEO Brian Roberts asking him the promise once they cash check they never bother me again. End of the story... I feel they are extremely overpriced and I would never recommend any kind of two-year commitment with these people and I would always record your conversation.

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

I required cable and internet service, so at first I had a different provider from Comcast, they were ok I really didn't have any complaint it's just that I had Dial Up Internet but I felt maybe I could use something faster, so I left the one provider to go to Comcast. OH BOY what a big mistake I made, so here is the story: I called up Comcast and spoke to someone and of course they tell you everything you want to hear just to get you so they got me. I got a simple package internet, tv, free HBO and HD channels. A few weeks after they came to set me up the internet wasn't working so they had to come out. It worked but it wasn't reaching the upper part of my house, so they had to come back out again then they said "Oh it's your area" so I bought a new modem/router so it can reach upstairs and it also deducted $10 off or my account.
I was happy my bill lowered. Then a month later my bill went back up. I called asking what is going on they said they had to add other fees about some kind of broadcasting fee. Then they tell me I have to pay extra for my HD channels, but the guy who offered this to me never said that would happen and he also told me the router/modem price would be waved but as you see that didn't happen. The next thing that happen was my internet was acting funnier than usual. It wasn't working right just for my iPad so I went online to see what I can see, so when I really take a look Comcast Caps your internet usage (They limit how much you can use) I called to complain and they did not deny it. So my bill started off at $73 and since they have tacked on all kinds of fees which I never had before.
My bill is now $116. I'm just blown away. I'm trying to ask these people for help telling them I am on a fixed income they have no care in the world. So my only choice is to go back to the other provider that treats their customers like that want to keep them. I can't even understand half of the things they have on my bill, I just know they rip people off by taking on all kinds of things without notice. PLEASE BEWARE! I regret having their service.

We just received a new customer installation on 5-2-17. The installer told us he was running all new lines because they do not use old lines. The existing condition of the house was not discussed as to what lines were already in place. I was charged $60 for an installation of 4 TV's and a modem. He also told me he is not allowed to install splitters because they drop the signal. He said this because I asked him to split a line so I could move 1 TV to my patio where one line he installed passed right by the location of the wall bracket on the patio. The installer decided to use one existing line going to my living room which happens to be the main line for the DVR and modem location. He then put a splitter in this location (which he just told me he couldn't do) for the modem.
The problem we are now experiencing is only a download speed of 42.6 mbps when we are paying for "up to 150". Comcast's next lower package includes speeds "up to 75 mbps". After calling Comcast they reset the signal and the same speed is being received. We explained everything to a girl (who was very rude) and then to a supervisor (who became rude as well) and the reply we got is their speeds are not guaranteed. We are also being told if we need an additional line ran to our modem then we will have to pay for it. This makes no sense because they did not know what lines were here to begin with.
If there was no line going into the living room the installer would have run one. If the signal is being affected by the splitter it should not have been installed. The supervisor Thomas, refuses to accept that fact and tells me that there is no guaranty on the speed we will receive regardless of the fact that it is less than a third of what we are being charged for and almost half of the next lower package. As we ended our call this issue was left unresolved.

I 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.

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.

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 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...

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.

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.

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 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!

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."

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.

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 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. Honestly, I don't know which is worse their customer service or their internet service.

I looked at the online TV guide schedule on XFINITY on Sunday, April 2, 2017 and saw the Yankees and Tampa Bay game was being telecast on ESPN at 1 pm. I turned on the ESPN channel at 1 pm to find some old rerun of an ESPN special and no live game on. Apparently Comcast has the right to black out Yankee games on ALL channels on their XFINITY system since they weren't able to negotiate a contract last year for the YES network. What a crock of **.

This is absolutely ridiculous, I've been a customer off and on for over 7 years. They can take my money instantly and they are telling me another 7-10 business days. Which will be at least 2 more weeks. I will NEVER, EVER use Comcast's crooked services ever again.

My cable has been out for three weeks going on four weeks and no one's been out to fix it. I've call multiple times to Comcast and been hung up on by one operator, been disconnected by the automated system after being on hold. Each time I call I'm on the phone for over an hour. 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. I feel they should of made exceptions since it was their fault I didn't get my service fixed. The lady told me she would put me in for next Tuesday but she would expedite it to the service dept and they would call me Friday by noon to give me an earlier appt count they are the only ones that could do this. The next day Friday which is today and no one call me by noon time I once again called in to talk to a supervisor and once again on the phone for over another hour.
I did talk to a nice representative named Melissa and she told me she agrees that this was unacceptable and that she was going to escalate it as well and forward everything to her supervisor and also she would call me back by 2:30 today and of course I haven't heard from anyone and it's now 6 pm and once again I'm sitting on the phone waiting for a supervisor now for an hour and 28 mins.

According to a customer service representative and 2 supervisors, Xfinity/Comcast does not have a hold or cancellation policy for military personnel during deployment. There is a 6 month maximum vacation mode that costs $10/device. Other vendors such as AT&T Wireless allow for services to be placed on hold for free for military personnel. Ironically, the actual cable service was provided to my son in a military barracks. I don't recommend Xfinity/Comcast to any military personnel, it could cost you to get out of a contract if you are deployed.

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. They have caused me emotional distress and created 2 days, possibly more, of a loss of wages. They have the worse management and supervision because none of them knows what they are doing. I'm disturbed and ready to go to AT&T. Apparently there isn't many service providers in Miami but I'm pleased to see that AT&T is finally offering internet service in my area. FYI, I just learned that all of Coral Gables, FL just lost their internet service. This is what we are dealing with... incompetency!

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.

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. Thought you guys were "revamping the horrible reputation you've had for so many years & bragging on how much emphasis is being put into customer relations?" Best part? $1000.00 is what they say I owe for 2 mos! Lol. #Losttheirminds! I WILL NOT PAY & contacting a lawyer in the am... DISH, DIRECT, ANYTHING BUT COMCAST!!!

I like that they provide all the services, cable, internet access, wifi, phone and security. I have had a few problems with the wifi and internet but they were there for me when repairs had to be made and I must say, their customer service has improved a lot.

Comcast customer service is disgusting. They are rude and incompetent. They told me that I would be able to post date my payment. I come home and my cable is off so I just send them a payment online. I call the next day to cancel. They told me could not. So then they said could get a refund within 7-10 business days. I wait the days then they told me in the notes that someone said they told me I could not. That is horrible to lie like that on customers. The service still and always will be trash.

I left Comcast some years ago because they were inflexible as to what networks I could chose. Everything was bundled and if you wanted certain channels you had to buy ones you didn't want. They have become more flexible. I can get channels I want without buying ones I don't.

Worst company ever! 1 of my cable boxes went out and after waiting a week a technician was sent to my house to fix the problem and I was charged $120 for him coming out to fix it. Mind you I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THE CHARGE TO HAVE SOMEONE COME FIX IT! I called to ask about charges and they refused to remove it even though they failed to tell me about it. I wouldn't recommend these people to my worst enemy!

I was with AT&T and changed to Comcast for a brief time. Service was terrible so I went back to AT&T. Now Comcast refuses to port/route my office number back to AT&T, THEREFORE I AM NOT GETTING CALLS FROM ANYONE USING A PHONE THAT HAS COMCAST AS THEIR PROVIDER!!! We pay a lot in advertising not to get calls. I have called Comcast many times concerning this and they say "You are not a Comcast customer so we cannot help." I have talked to AT&T and they say they (AT&T) control outgoing calls and Comcast is the one controlling the outbound calls of their customers. Which is why Comcast customers cannot reach me. I need help in getting them to route my number back to AT&T so I can get called from Comcast customers. HELP!!! Comcast is a terrible, I am sure this is illegal if not it should be.

Since I have had Comcast, my monthly billing has gone up just about every month. All I have is phone and internet. Now, it is $78.00 and I'm about to stop all, and use my cell for everything.

Started 10/7/16 & was told triple play was cheaper than double play. Got a package deal and was told $300 visa card after 6 months of 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. I feel my package deal should be for all 3 TVs without extra charges on the other 2 TVs.

Like everyone else, I'm tired of being jerked around by Comcast. They continually look for ways of increasing your bills. Had a service outage a couple of months ago that took days to resolve. The field techs couldn't resolve the problem. and their phone representatives lied to me at least twice about appointments that turned out to not exist.
Got off the phone with one of their customer retention people this morning after complaining about a price increase. Their solution was to pay what I was paying for decreased service or pay more by buying more service I didn't want. He was more than happy to help me cancel my service since I wouldn't take either of the poor options offered. Very arrogant in attitude and tone. Can't wait for CenturyLink to build out their network in the area to have some real, competitive choices.

Changed ISP last year and have a better package price for home phone, internet, TV and security monitoring. Same price paying AT&T for first three services. Also, I began having TV issues with AT&T, but Xfinity is very reliable and has beautiful picture.
