    I am in my third year of dealing with Comcast's deceit and barely legal business practices. In 2014 I wanted to leave Comcast for its poor performance both technically and customer support. I called them and asked if there would be any contract charges to cancel my account at which time they answered no. I asked them to confirm their answer and once again was told there would be no contract charges to cancel my account. I asked for the customer service rep's name and was told Kit and only Kit although I asked for further identification.

    When I actually cancelled my account they informed me that there was a $90 contract charge to cancel and thus began the three year headache. I attempted to resolve this via email with no response. I attempted to resolve this via customer service only to be told my option was to resume as a Comcast customer. I asked to speak to a supervisor only to be dumped into a voice mailbox with no return call. I asked for assistance by a Comcast salesperson with the company I work for with no follow thru.

    I paid all charges but the $90 and let that go to collections. I wrote letters to the collection company disputing the charge only to have it keep turning up like a bad penny. I finally settled today for less than the full $90 but have little hope that they will not turn up again seeking to collect the remainder. I was informed by this collection agency that Comcast is attempting to refresh its customer service image due to all the negative press. Personally I think they have failed miserably as a company with abysmal customer service. I would go completely off grid if my only choice for service was Comcast. If you have an option choose anything other than Comcast. They are crooks, then and now.

    I have only been with Comcast for 17 months. I started with a promotional rate and then all at once my rate doubled and my service dropped. Today I had the rep count all the times in my account that I have had to call in to troubleshoot issues and/or have service techs come out and in the last year I have had 7 (and that does not include the 2 times I drove out to the service center to exchange equipment). In 17 months I have had 3 modem/router boxes and now I am told that I will need a new converter box. Some reps have been good and helpful. Other reps...not so much! The service itself and the equipment have been terrible! I have had more issues in one year with Comcast than I have had with every other company I have ever done business with added together!

    And the worst part is that a few different reps have told me that I need to pay more to get my equipment to work or to have techs come out. WHAT?!? So, let me get this straight... I pay for a service and I pay extra for equipment, but that service and equipment breaks so I have to pay even more to get it fixed!!! I already paid for it and it didn't work, so why the hell would you think I will want to pay even more to get it to work. I am a loyal person and I do not like changing companies or doing paperwork, but the next issue I have with Comcast I am leaving. I do not care if I have to pay a little more for service with another company as long as I know that what I am paying for will actually work when I want it to.

    My advice to you is find another company... unless you have time to sit around on the phone with customer service and wait for service techs to come, and if you don't mind missing the big game or Olympic gold medal events or whatever else you are hoping to watch. P.S. The only reason I gave this a one star review was because it wouldn't let me give it a zero.

    I have had Comcast for years and paid them for internet, phone, and premium, cable for 5 rooms. Therefore, I have been paying thousands a year. They always had poor service. But I think the last straw was when I had an internet problem involving security. They allowed a bug through that crashed my computer and tried to charge me close to 200 dollars a year for a contract for 3 years. I hung up, reloaded Windows 10 and then worked for several hours to get all my non-Windows programs up and running. In the past when such an event happened, Norton worked with you to fix it free of charge.

    They are now using some foreign subcontractor to handle security issues and they logged me into a logmein package that killed my PC {what was left of it} and I could not do anything. Then they tried to sell me their package and I did not find out my PC was completely out until I pulled the rip cord and exited their security. Now I am rethinking how bad I need cable and their phone service as well as internet. I am checking out the cost of my different options and will be making a definite choice this week. I just remembered after the hurricane hit seven years ago, the last thing I got back was cable and phone and internet. Another good reason to quit.

    Comcast is a SELLOUT! Half the time you're speaking with some hee-bob across the seas. After being a customer for over 3 years, I had some things go not my way and had to cancel. They REFUSED to work with me on my final balance, charged me $20/month for 12 months & $30+ in taxes from who knows what that all added to over $280. I agreed to the balance & I asked if I could break the payment up into 2 payments because I did not have all the funds. They responded with, "You have 20 days to pay the balance or we automatically charge you". I then asked to speak with a supervisor that told me, since I was cancelling their service, they could not help me. They advised me to pay for a $19.99/month plan + $12 for receiver rental to avoid paying the 275$ lol. What the **? I cancelled my card solely for the point of the matter. They won't get a dime.

    These people are piss poor in customer service & could care less about anything you have to say unless you have $$ for them. There is NO way to get in contact to someone in the upper echelon, there are no places to submit a complaint of that sort, except on a couple online reviews, nobody directly with Comcast. Only kept referring me to the ''legal department'', such **. When you tell a customer who has paid you EVERY month for 3 years that nobody can help you, this is the final judgement, who the hell are you? What happened to America? What happened to customer service? Where have people moral compass gone? So farewell and ** you to Comcast, every single person I run into with Comcast I will convince them to switch & go somewhere else, nobody wants to be a part of your middle east shenanigans anyways. Their slogan should be BAIT & SWITCH. Can't keep ** people over, eventually it'll be the wrong person & it will be YOUR bad.

    I tried to sign up for Comcast service when I moved into my new apartment. Really, I tried three times. I signed up online for a package and was told that the equipment would be shipped to me. It never arrived, so I called a week later to be told that it had now been shipped and would arrive in days. I called again a week later to be told that NOW it would be shipped. I finally called a fourth time, still after receiving no equipment but after receiving a bill for $72, and was told it had never shipped. I asked them to cancel my account.

    I then received a bill for over $312 and numerous phone calls demanding I return the equipment, which of course I did not have. I finally wrote an email to the collection agency (yes, they turned in over in less than 30 days) demanding that they cease and desist--I never heard from them again. I also notified Comcast by phone and was assured once again that the bill was zeroed and that I would be receiving a zero bill soon. In the meantime, my husband went on the Comcast forum and discussed the situation with a rep there, who also assured us that he had personally seen to it that the bill was zeroed.

    This morning, I went to the local Comcast office because I have not received a zero bill in the mail so I have nothing in writing. I was told that the person or people who handle billing were not available today. I asked for a balance on my bill and was told it was $41. I then tried to call the 800 number for a record-breaking 7th time. I received a young woman who barely spoke English. I asked to be transferred to the United States. She transferred me to the Philippines. I asked again to be transferred to the United States and was told no. I asked if she was refusing to transfer me to the US and she said, "Yes." I terminated the call. At this point, I am not sure what to do. The only reason I am giving a one-star review is because you cannot give no-star reviews.

    First, a door to door representative from their company told me he could get me a lower rate without a contract, last summer. The next time I viewed my bill it was more expensive than my current plan and I was now locked into a two year contract. I was never able to get the low rate I had back. Then, they just upped my bill without notice by over $60 and are saying my promotion ended. I'm not sure how that is possible because the door to door guy was at my house less than a year ago and my costs went up then. I would not even rate them 1 star.

    Yet again I've experienced horrible Comcast customer service. (again and again and again) I was online with a very helpful tech for 2 hours trying to resolve an issue (got bounced to several people and finally ended up with the helpful tech) and the chat got disconnected. I told him/her that my computer gave me a signal that the chat would disconnect if I did what they wanted me to do. They said no they would not be disconnected, but yes they were.

    They were given a phone number when the chat started but no call and I have no way to contact the tech which means I have to start the discussion all over with a new person. You would think given the fact that I said i think I might lose you they would have called me on the number they were given. I'm trying to connect online to watch the Olympics. Guess that's not going to happen. Because I don't have 2 hours to start over. I was trying to watch people I actually know compete. As usual you can't count on Comcast. I have no choice but to use them in DC, so they don't have to provide any service.

    Has anyone else had this experience? I took off work early to wait for Comcast after three days with no Internet or Cable. Two of us were in the house with phones all around. Comcast was supposed to arrive between 5 and 7. I called Mom on home phone at 4:57 to say I was three minutes away. The phone worked fine. The Comcast repairman did not arrive at all. When we called, they claimed the dispatch center called at 5:20 p.m. There is no record of that call on our phone but very oddly, when we checked, we found that the phone line that worked fine at 4:57 was down. We called AT&T and they reset it.

    Is it possible the repair man deactivated the phone line (which is easily accessible) to avoid making a service call? We have a hard time grasping the coincidence that the line was temporarily off at the very time he was scheduled to arrive and very easily was reactivated after he left. Not accusing. Just asking if anyone else had this experience.

    Where do I start. Well I recently canceled my service about a month ago and was told I owed a bill of 515 so I made a payment of 250 brought my bill down to 265 so then I canceled so I told the rep being that I canceled am I getting my credit for the month in advance that I pay. He said yes. Well to my disbelief I received a new bill for 367. Even after I canceled. Ladies and gentlemen be aware comcast are rip off artist. If you cancel they will charge you for canceling. Get another provider if you can. It took me about 3 years of service before I realized how much rip offs they were. CANCEL YOUR SERVICE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE...

    I had originally contacted Comcast to downgrade my internet because it shot up from $50 a month to $93! I had just lost my job and was explaining how I either need to downgrade or get a better deal or just find another provider that offered a better deal. Which is when the agent offered me a great deal for $114 a month plus taxes and fees, which he assured me numerous times would be less than 125 a month, plus several other extras included in the deal. Because of this I had paid the $250 cancelation fee to DirecTV to move my cable services over. When I received my cable boxes, unbeknownst to me, a tech should have come out to switch the outside cables to Comcast, however, even after asking if that is what needed to happen I was assured it would not! So after setting up my cable boxes they obviously didn't work.

    After calling customer service, the incompetent rep decided to just send me two new boxes, instead of running trouble shooting on mine, and also told me nothing needed to be done even though I just disconnected DirecTV. These other two boxes arrived, although I told her I was only having issues with the one because I couldn't set up the other box until the first was set up. Of course all of these boxes still did not work. So I decided to go online and chat with a rep, where I discovered my $114 bill I had agreed upon was now $279!! This woman charged me for $50 shipment fee and added these other boxes onto my account as if I had ordered more boxes when she told me she was sending one replacement box free of charge!

    So within a matter of less than a week I had spent over 20 hours on the phone and on chat with Comcast to get this billing issue resolved! Instead, I was passed around from one department to the next, all of whom "didn't have the authority to honor my contract I have in writing" which mind you is a legally binding contract, and on top of that received nothing but disrespect telling me I was wrong and I had signed up for this huge bill and fees and was responsible for paying it! And when I argued and asked them to look up the chat when I had signed up and my agreement should be honored, again I was either sent to another department or flat-out hung up on! So I decided to do a chat again because I can save these chats and have the information in writing should a dispute come up again. I had asked if I could email my chat with the offer I had signed up for and they told me no!

    Again, I was disrespected and sent to several different departments, who again told me they do not have the authority to honor the contract I signed up for. Mind you, I am single mother, which had let them know, I have just lost my job, do not have (as I'm sure NO ONE does) 4 plus hours a day to clean up these messes and issues and wrongful billing issues that Comcast employees have created!!! I have been up nearly every night till over 2 am trying to get this figured out... and that not including the calls I have made during business hours. To make matters worse, I had to go through the same song and dance and bs same script they all gave me from every single department where no one apparently has any type of authority to do anything! Total bs! When I requested to cancel because it is still within my 30 day right of rescission... My internet was conveniently disconnected... Coincidental... Definitely NOT!

    Especially since it happened every single time they didn't want to discuss cancellation or let me speak to someone in charge! Such a complete waste of time that I don't even have, that I need to be looking for a job to support my child, to even pay for this damn service that they keep screwing up and not "authorized" to fix. I feel like they are trained to just pass you around until your 30 days to cancel is up... Seems pretty illegal to me, and changing someone's contract and adding extra costs to it... Pretty sure is also illegal! The fact that I have spent hours upon hours trying to just have my contract honored, or even speak to someone that can cancel this plan for me just to be disrespected, hung up on, passed around and then to disconnect my internet because you don't want to deal with me? Sounds pretty shady and again seems like it's more than likely to offer a cancellation period and prevent a customer from canceling!

    Pretty sure I am just one of thousands Comcast has done this to and if there is a lawyer out there looking to start a class action suit and other victims of Comcast's shady business practices then I say we fight back for our rights and our money they are basically stealing from our pockets! I would also like a real internet expert to come check the speed of my "Blast" package I pay extra for because I'm pretty sure the Comcast speed test is just some sort of scam, there is no way when I run their test and it says I have 250 Mbps that a browser would take as long as dial up to load! And in fact I only got Comcast because you needed faster speeds to make DirecTV OnDemand work since it is streamed through the internet and yet my 250 Mbps that would run on the Comcast speed test worked just as horribly, if not worse than the 25 Mbps I had with AT&T!!!

    Someone other than a Comcast employee needs to check the real speeds offered! All of this seems like one huge scam! And if this going to be disputed I have records, which clearly Comcast does not keep these records of calls or chats as I was told I had only one chat on record, yet somehow I have several I have saved! Extremely shady and I wouldn't be surprised if someone were to dig further there would be more illegal practices found! I will be making this complaint with the BBB as well! And I suggest others do too!

    I have been a Comcast customer since 1975 (formerly Highland Video before acquisition). My monthly pricing seemed to steadily increase until I finally called to ask for an explanation. After getting nowhere with their customer service, and continually trying to stop them from trying to upgrade me, I finally told them to simply give me the same basic deal that they advertise on TV. Basic cable, internet and phone (Triple Play). The "Basic package”. I was told that my internet would slow down, I could no longer make long distance phone calls and I would receive a lot less channels for which I replied "FINE".

    I was then told that I would have to turn in my HD equipment, then the representative hesitated and said "oh never mind, you don't have HD equipment". It didn't register at the time, until I printed out all of my past statements and noticed an alarming trend. Somewhere along the line, someone from Comcast entered data that placed me into the HD category. I do not own HD TV's. I started looking at my bills and noticed that for years I was bring charged $170.49 per month for HD Preferred Service.

    Once I called to seek an explanation for the constant increases, I was placed in the "basic" package for $92.95 per month for which I have been paying since. The overcharges were in my mind intentional. Being a Senior Citizen, I am very angry and wonder just how many other people are overcharged for services not rendered. I feel that several thousand dollars in “overcharges” have been sent to Comcast in a timely fashion, never late, always on time. For being a loyal customer, I get the short end of the stick. I am contacting the BBB and also the FCC.

    On 6/3/16 I spoke to Rosemarie. She gave me a promotional rate of $29.99 that would be good until 3/2017. My June bill reflected that price. My July bill was $41.28. I called to check the bill and spoke to a very nice rep. Havran but he was unable to correct the bill. He got his manager Frank extremely rude and told me the reason the bill was higher was because I needed to have Eco billing which is paperless and auto pay. I told him I was never told this by Rosemarie and my neighbor has the same plan and he doesn't have direct auto pay. He said he would give me $10.00 toward my TV account and I said I don't want anything towards that as I get free cable from my maintenance payments through my condo.

    Is it standard procedure that you must have direct payments in order to get a promo? Then if so why didn't my two last bills say "you are being charged $10.00 more because you don't have direct payments." When I asked Frank this question he said that they don't have to give a reason. He gave me 30 days to decide whether I want them to automatically charge my account each month. I told him I am okay with not getting paper bills but not with allowing them to automatically charge me as their bills are always unclear. I would appreciate your input. I noticed many complaints about Comcast billing and I am concerned that they are getting away with it. Thank You.

    I have had service with Comcast and Xfinity for just over a month now, and I am honestly shocked at how disorganized and poorly managed this company is. I had to make yet another call today because they screwed up the bill. This is the 11th call I've had to make because of problems with billing, equipment, service etc. and I waited on hold for a supervisor today for 1 1/2 hours. Typical, and aggravating. I calculate I've spent over 14 hours on the phone with them in 30 days.

    Between the 7 HOUR INSTALL (not exaggerating!) because the tech was incompetent, to the promised call backs I never got, to the cable not being buried for 3 weeks (c'mon it's mowing season!), then the company no-showed, to the numerous phone reps (including managers) who promised credits and to clean up the billing issue but never did, and a special thanks to the rep who doubled charged my bill instead of crediting it. I am looking for another alternative. This company should not even be allowed to be in business.

    Worst customer service I've ever come across. I see why you're recruiting people out of customer service jobs for your company. A few months back, I called to see what it would cost to add STARS onto my account. The representative on the phone told me that it would only increase my TOTAL bill another $3 a month. I thought this was a great deal, and asked SEVERAL times, "How much my total cost would be?" Each time I was told it would only increase my total bill $3. When I finally look at the bill two months later, it's gone up over $25. So I called customer service and spent an hour on the phone. After getting nowhere, except a non-working phone number to a supervisor, I called back for a 4th time. This time I spoke with the first level customer service agent, who told me she could adjust my bill to the amount I was quoted.

    Now when I am getting ready to go to bed, I go upstairs and my cable box says "not authorized for use" so I had to call again and spend more time on the phone. I was given a reference number in case I had any problems. I have them the reference number and they told me that they had taken the $9.95 charge for the extra box off my account. And I had to pay for it to be turned back in. Another 20 minutes on the phone I spoke with someone whom I gave the reference number to and they kept telling be about my plan. Nothing about the price adjustment I was promised and supposed to clear up with my reference number. So they turned my box back on and gave me a credit of $10 for 12 months.

    Now, if I have the service longer than 12 months, I'm screwed. And as I type this, my box isn't even working. This is the worst service I've experienced. Ever. As soon as I can I will be trying to look for another option. All I've been given is lies and the runaround. Your company told me one thing, and did another, THREE TIMES. How can you stay in business when your employees are committing fraud by putting me into packages that I never agreed to, then telling me my bill would only go up $3 when it was close to ten times that amount?

    My reference number is **. Spent over two hours on the phone to get what I was quoted by your company, and even after they tried to fix it, they still screwed me. And I had to spend more time to fix your problems. I was recruited by a headhunter to work for your company because I specialize in customer service. In many industries. And I can tell you that if you were a retail store, and people had the choice to drive further to reach another store, you would be out of business. But since your the only option for some people, you seem to think that treating them fair and honest doesn't matter.

    If I was managing a small part of your customer service, I could turn it around in a week. Easy, be honest. Don't argue with customers who have a legitimate complaint and tell them about the plan they have. Listen to them, and fix their problems. Now, I'm guessing I'll be forced to call every month to get my bill fixed because no one there seems to know how to do anything or explain what they did. I was told that $20 was taken off my bill, but they didn't tell me that they took off the charge for my extra box and that it wouldn't be working. Or that if need to spend a half hour to get less than what they told me just so my box could be turned on. I will be posting this on every website I can to warn potential customers about how your company works and treats its customers. Something needs to be fixed. Fast.

I did call Comcast back at 4pm and ask them why the money was not take out that I had set up for 3 weeks. The guy proceeds to tell me due to the fact that it was NSF which that was incorrect because I have the money sitting in my account from the 25th waiting on them to take it out and like I informed him this is happened on three different occasions and it makes no sense that I have to keep going through this so I need to know how to return the equipment.

    And he said to me "I don't understand why you want to return the equipment. Is there something that we can do? And I said "No this has happened to many times." And he said "Well I don't know what happened." Like I explained to him "Hey" I told him "There was probably a glitch in your system cause I know it's not a problem on my end. The money is there. I'm looking at it and you'll have a very poor customer service. I've still been waiting on a manager to call me back and they have failed to do so." So with that being said I have cancel their service and I am moving to another service provider because I can no longer deal with Comcast. Every time I turn around they are overcharging for different things and I think they do it on purpose just so they can get that reconnection fee.

    This company is appalling. The representatives lie to customers everyday about billing and services they will receive then charge them something completely different on their next billing cycle (evidence below). If that isn't bad enough, they go a step further and berate their OWN customers. My experience: my fiance and myself sign up for double play, two-year contract, and terminate early. We were moving out of our apartment and in with my family, who already has Xfinity, in order to prepare for some future purchases.

    Upon talking to a representative I am quoted $84.19 for terminating. No problem, except my bill comes in shortly after at 129.01. We call the billing department to see what the issue is and we are met with hostility and resistance. We are then put on hold and shortly later another rep from billing answers and I have to explain what is going on again with the bill. They are generally rude and when I ask for their name, they REFUSE to give it to me. The conversation ends with her saying quote, "the bill is the bill and [she] was tired of people trying to to cancel service and not pay their bills." I was HUNG UP ON.

    I can state right now, I have paid and would be happy to post every paid statement for their lackluster trash called "service". This is how Xfinity handles themselves and it pains me to think I went with them just because most of my family and fiance's family has them. After this experience I will never have anything positive to say and will encourage both families to switch to another service, along with anyone that will listen. I can tolerate the lies, and the shoddy equipment, but I will not be disrespected for asking a question. Do yourself a favor and go with any other service or beat your head with a brick when you get bored. Both are better options than Xfinity.

    After living in Western North Carolina for 3 years having moved from Stuart, FL I bought a condo in Jensen Beach and was forced into Comcast due to the association's contract with them. NIGHTMARE! The worst customer service and product imaginable. They lost my account somehow, billed me twice for the same time frame, billed me when I was on vacation hold, made harassing phone calls to me for payment. All this in spite of me taking 2 hours 20 minutes in line with documents proving my case they Comcast still sent my account to collection.

    Thankfully I sent the collection agency my documentation and they dropped it. Case over? Not with frigging Comcast. They sent it to a second collection agency with the same results in my favor. Could I or can I file a suit against them? And their services SUCK. Their DVR has enough recording space for maybe 10 hours. If I recall with DISH I have hundreds of hours. Stay away from Comcast if at all possible. I sold the condo just so I wouldn't to deal with them any longer.

    Comcast has the worst customer service that I have ever had to deal with. Four years ago I had Comcast installed at my home, I immediately started having issues. After calling service and having several different technicians attempt to repair the problems I finally had it disconnected. I thought that after they installed new cable in my neighborhood that I would try Xfinity again and set up an installation appointment. To my surprise (sarcasm) nobody showed up or called. I called to be told that I still had a balance from the last time, but nobody ever notified me of this. I will never give Comcast the opportunity to be my provider again.

    The only reason I don't leave Comcast's triple-bundle (landline phone, internet & TV cable) is because my home was wired 11 years ago with Comcast and another company that wired my home for audio surround sound indoors and outdoors. I'm so afraid that I'll lose (meaning system will get messed up) the surround sound if I discontinue Comcast's service. Meanwhile I continuously have issues with my cable and internet, mostly cable! Landline is no problem! Comcast is definitely way too expensive. I have SAME triple bundle as others I know and continue to have a higher monthly bill. And I've had my service longer and friends get more channels (i.e. showtime, HBO, etc.) and have had their bundle not as long, but for several years. If they come out to fix one TV, another goes out or I have an issue with the other TV. It's never a done deal... it's ongoing, grrr!!!

    I've just moved here from NYC where for 18 years I had the distinct pleasure of having Verizon provide me with internet service. I would say that in those 18 years I might have been down maybe 24 hours in total. With good old Comcast, I have had outages lasting up to 6 hours and there have been at least 3 of them. At other times, service has dropped out for anywhere between a minute and 2 hours. In other words, Comcast has beat Verizon - in the space of 35 days no less - in unreliable internet connectivity. I hope that they get a big old plaque or something for this. Because I really know where I'd like it to be 'hung' as it were. Oh, and just one final cherry on this crappy little Sunday. Whenever I call to complain, the agents always manage to make it my fault somehow.

    I have had Comcast Triple Play for many years and have enjoyed it tremendously. I love the cable package I have and my Internet speed is very good. I recommended Comcast to friends and family over the years. Until now. On Friday my phone went dead and my modem lights continuously flashed. Cable and Internet were fine. But no dial tone. I called Comcast and spoke to India. The agent recognized that my modem was broken and put in a request to have a new modem sent to me. He said the phone showed "active" on his end so he deduced it was a modem issue. He did not say anything about dispatching a tech. He restarted my old modem 3 times in an effort to give me dial tone, but to no avail.

    I called the next day to request a tech be dispatched with a new modem. I was speaking to India again. This agent restarted my modem at least 4 times (I think they must get a bonus for every time they do a restart!!). He had the ticket in front of him and I stress that while the phone looked "active" to him, it was not. There was no dial tone. However, you could leave voicemails since that system resided elsewhere. He would not dispatch a tech. On Sunday I called the "repair team" whose number had been provided by the Saturday agent. They (in India or Philippines) read the ticket and insisted on restarting my modem. This time 3 times. They said the new modem was arriving on Monday and asked me to call them when it arrived.

    Sunday evening I received a voicemail from the repair team. My phone service was fixed! Of course, it was not. On Monday I set up a chat to say the modem had not arrived and I needed a tech. I was told a tech could be scheduled 1.5 weeks away. The "chat" tech said my ticket had been closed because the phone was fixed. And there was no record of a modem being mailed. I was almost to the point of tears. EVERY number I called led to an overseas call center who was TONE DEAF.

    On Tuesday I planned on going to my local Xfinity store and raising hell... when a new modem arrived. I called the repair team and got the Philippines. I could barely understand her. The accent was very thick. She insisted on restarting my modem before she scheduled a tech. And, of course, to no avail. But she opened a NEW ticket for me. Then fortunately we got cut off. I called back and made an error in my selection and miraculously got a US call center. This agent, Keisha, was fabulous and took action immediately and escalated the dispatching of a tech. I'm now waiting for dispatch to call me with the schedule.

    However... about 2 hours after setting things up with Keisha, I received a voicemail from the repair team that my phone was fixed. Of course it was not. I called and touch-toned the same way as before and got a US call center again! And the agent flagged the ticket "DO NOT CLOSE THIS TICKET." for fear the repair team would, again, close my ticket. What can I say. USA, USA, USA!! I am a former call center manager and director and I'm appalled at the total lack of training and lack of authority given to these outsourced agents. They are nothing short of robots. Comcast does not deserve to expand. It was right they were denied Time Warner.

    I would only recommend Xfinity to my worst enemy. My bill started at about $100.00 a month, jumped to $120.00 and is now $150.00 after being a customer for two years. They add things on and change things ALL THE TIME without notification. So, I am paying $150.00 a month for BASIC channels, Wi-Fi and a home phone line that I do not use.

    One time, I had scheduled an automatic payment and totally forgot about it (my mistake). I called that day to make the payment. No one bothered to make sure I wanted to make a double payment because I had already had one pending. I requested one of the payments be refunded because only one was due. I was told three times that I would be seeing it 5-7 business days. (After being hung up on twice while requesting a supervisor) I finally called and reached a supervisor by the time my next bill was already due and she had advised me that it can not be refunded and she has no idea why I was told it could be. Not to mention no one ever knows what they are talking about when it comes to inquiries on my account! Worst company to go through.

    My horrific experience started this past January, when I signed up for Comcast. I scheduled an installment, but when the gentleman arrived, He said that he would have to have a line dropped to the house in order to give me the whole package that I was paying for. He did set me up for basic cable, but I was paying for On Demand, and all of the movie channels, the internet and a phone, all of which were not working. He said that they would have to have a surveyor come out and mark, and then someone would have to drop the wire, and THEN, I would have to call them to set up ANOTHER appointment for them to come out and finish the install. It sounded like a lot of inconvenience on my part and taking off another half vacation day at work, but I really didn't see a choice.

    Three weeks later nothing had been done!! In the meantime, I had to have Verizon come and install temporary internet. They also had to drop a wire, which was completed that day! After more calls than I can count with people who didn't have any correct information, and 5 weeks total, I finally got them to finish the job. In the meantime I had already received two bills for the full contract. I tried to explain to the billing department, but the whole thing was either too complicated for them, or they simply didn't care.

    About a month later, my cable went out, for no reason. I spent over an hour on the phone with some tech guy, who couldn't accomplish anything, and had to make an appointment for someone to come out. They couldn't accommodate my work schedule, so I had to make arrangements to take another half day off. When the guy showed up, he told me that the equipment that had been installed was old equipment, and could not accommodate the up-to-date system. HUH??? A vacation day wasted, two months, and I actually had what I had ordered. That was April.

    In July, I returned home from a trip to find the cable, internet, and phone all out. I called customer service, and was on for another hour while he tried to send signals. He finally said that they would have to come out. I explained that I didn't have any more time off of work and I would need an evening appointment. He told me that they don't provide that. Three days later, I finally, got a friend to wait for them. When they showed up, they determined the problem was in a box underground, and that they would have to send a field tech. Surprisingly, they were able to solve the issue and found that a connector had blown in the underground box. Great!

    Two days later everything went out again. I called, yet again, and spent half an hour trying to explain to the tech guy, that there wasn't a problem in the box. He also said that he couldn't get me an evening appointment, but did tell me that they do provide evening appointments. I scheduled an appointment a week out, in order to get an evening appointment. Yesterday was that appointment. I got a call from the tech asking me if he could show up at 2:30 instead because I was his last call. I explained that I was at work.

    When he did show up at 5pm, I was unfortunately caught in traffic and arrived at 5:04 for a 5-7 appointment. Triwire Engineering Solutions truck was parked on the street in front of my house. The first thing I saw when I walked around the back of my house looking for the tech, was one of them urinating on my tree! The appointment went down from there. They didn't know what they were doing, and after restarting my box, and nothing happening, they told me that they really couldn't help me, and that I should call Comcast! What??? I told them that was who I called, and they said that they were just contractors. I told them that they could not leave until they had, at least set up a plan to get me back up and running.

    During the next two and a half hours, the lead guy told me that I was the problem, and the trainee with him told me that Comcast has the worst customer service, and that the plan being put in place by their supervisor was "ridiculous and stupid." When I went inside the house for a second, they jumped in their truck, and took off. I had to call Comcast again, and set up an appointment for a field tech, one more time. This time I, apparently, don't have to be home, and he is supposedly there right now fixing the problem.

    Where are the people running this company? Are they too busy to provide a product and service that they are charging ridiculous prices for? How do they stay in business? As soon as I can, I will be switching companies, but I need more vacation time first, and enough time to talk to their billing department about the contract they hooked me into!

    I had an appointment for 8/6/2017. On the night of 8/4/2016 I was online making sure my bill was auto paid and noticed that the web site said that I did not have any appointments. I called customer service and was told that I would need to wait until Wednesday 8/10/2016 for the soonest appointment. I made it pretty clear that I really needed the internet service turned on since it is my job to make sure that Opticsplanet.com and several other high voulume retail sites stay on line and that it is imperative that I have the ability to VPN into our offices. I also made it clear that I would rather not take time off from work since I had just done so to complete my move.

    After a couple more calls I finally was moved to an appointment between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm on Tuesday 8/9/2016 which is a 12 hour window that would cause me to be out of work for an entire day not to mention that the communities office is closed until 9:00 am making it impossible for a technician to turn on the cable since they would have no access to the communications room if they arrive at 8:00 am.

    I finally got an escalation ticket and was contacted by a gentleman who told me that he would have someone here on Saturday or today yet nobody ever called or showed up after that. I was also told that I could perform a self move and that the equipment would work which was an outright lie. Additionally the first rep I spoke to said that they would touch base with me on Saturday to make sure the equipment move went well and that too was a lie.

    On top of it all a couple representatives on the facebook page were just short of rude and basically just kept repeating my appointment date to me instead of trying to solve the problem. The sad part is that a technician merely needed to plug in one single coaxial cable in the communications room to activate my cable, I know this because I watched the technician perform this task already for unit 224 in the same building where I was living last week until an unfortunate set of circumstances forced us to move to another unit. I have been a Comcast customer on and off based on location for about 25 years but at this point I am completely overwhelmed by the lack of courtesy and honesty that the service team has provided.

    I called again on 8/8/2016 and asked that my services be disconnected on 8/18/2016 and was told that I would need to have the service installed in order to do that. I can't get the service installed that's why I am calling to cancel. I was also contacted by an executive team member who pretty much blew me off after asking for my account information. I will avoid Comcast at all costs, AT&T u-verse is less expensive, no fees for 2 HD DVR(s), No Fees for modem, comes with premium channels where a comparable package Comcast package does not, and they seem to have great customer service so far.

    My cable has literally been freezing up for the last couple of days. As soon as every 10 minutes or so when I get home from work I like to enjoy watching it. That is why I pay good money every month as well as on time every month but cannot enjoy it. It gets so frustrating when I know the problem is not in my home it is with the service of Comcast itself. You try to get someone online to help you but of course after their office hours there is a fee for that too. I feel that with the money they charge for their services they need to have a emergency contact to actually be able to talk to a live person. This service seems to get worse and more random problems then I have ever had with any other cable network.

    I think they need to update their personnel to be able to take care of these problems after their office hours instead of trying to update everything else on the system which usually doesn't work half the time as they claim it does or as it should. Somebody really needs to start prorating the monthly package fees for the times that they actually work. What it all boils down to is they charge an outrageous price for their services that are not worth half of what they charge you because they are not working correctly and the customer service reps seem to have a different answer every time you speak to them. It is like no one at Comcast knows the real answer because every different one you speak with has a different answer and it is just frustrating to have to deal with that company. Period.

    Bad, bad, bad. I don't know what else to say. It's bad enough we (Comcast customers) have to fight every year to make sure our provider is offering us a fair deal but to deal with bait and switch every time you renew is not only dishonest, it should be illegal. I'll make a long story (we all know how long it takes to get a Comcast CS rep to respond to a customer) as short as possible. This is now the 2nd year in a row where a Comcast CS rep took the time to quote me a package that fit my budget. They spent at least 5 min (I know this from the chat window time stamp) to quote me a package. When I said yes, they came back and told me it wasn't available and quoted me a higher price. They refused to honor their quote, very frustrating. In most cases, I would have let this go, but they took the time to quote me, answer questions specific to the package and confirmed the package before they went to activate. So they knew what they had available.

    And we all know, they are sitting in front of a terminal that tells them what to offer. That said, they (rep and supervisor) refused to honor their quote. The difference was only $10/month over 24 mths. You might ask, why fight it then? It was the principle of it. They should honor what the quote, especially for loyal, long-term customers. Instead, they simple said there was nothing they could do. I ended up signing up for the deal. I am stuck in a 24-month contract with a $230 penalty if I end it early (read the fine print everyone) and I am very disappointed. This is a classic bait and switch. I plan to report them to BBB and the FCC. Good luck to all, as consumers, our choices are becoming very limited and Comcast knows it.

Trying to be nice, I called the number for the local office to see if they would claim it. The recorded message gave me three specific choices, none of which applied to this situation, so I picked "start a new account." I was routed to a call center six states away. When I explained the problem they hung up on me. I tried again, and this time, they routed me to customer service (still not in state). I asked them for the phone number of the local Comcast office, and they said they couldn't find it and they couldn't call them.

After showering, I noticed I had a message from CC time dated 8:15, saying they were there and couldn't get anyone to the door. They give me a 2 hour window, and I can't get 7 minutes??? I called their number and got a smart** on the phone who basically said I had to reschedule and "here's the times, pick one, take it or leave it!" Having no choice I rescheduled to the following morning. The guy who came the next day, told me that installers were to give the customer 15 minutes, which I clearly did not get.

    Yes, I called and complained and I'm sure it got no further that the poor girl who spoke broken English. Pathetic, poor service. I didn't stop there: For the past two years, I've had two accounts with CC, one in GA, and one in FL. Due to poor service, I cancelled service in GA, about 3 weeks ago are returned the equipment. This week when I contacted CC, the only account they could find was the GA account which has been cancelled. Contacting someone online in customer service, and especially online, is near impossible. You have to give tons of information to log in, and when you finally get a "robot" to answer, they ask redundant questions that you've already spent several minutes supplying to get them in the first place. Yesterday when I went thru this process, they could not find my FL account, the only one they could find was the GA account which has been cancelled.

    I'm amazed at the costs of cable in the first place and they just keep going up, and up, and up, adding crap charges that you have no idea what they are. God forbid calling for an explanation if you have high blood pressure!! I'm in a condo who contracts to CC and I have no other choice other than putting a dish in my living room, which sometimes I seriously consider. Wouldn't it be great to have a big company such as CC, to actually listen to you and sincerely tried to solve your problems, instead of treating you like a prisoner, which basically I am? Instead you are ultimately told the KMA, and "live with it". If you have a choice, I strongly urge you to do your homework before signing on to CC.

    We had a very nice installer put Xfinity DVR service for 3 rooms into our house yesterday. It worked great for that afternoon. Last night a recording showed oddness (stalling and hard to restart), then this afternoon the DVR box went into a reboot loop. It shuts off, goes through its boot process, gets a bit into that, then does it again and again. That is not the reason for this review - that is a piece of new computer hardware and they break usually very soon after turning them on if they are going to break. BUT we called customer service and told them we have been a customer for about 24 hours and the box broke. They said, "No repair person will be available for 5 days". 5 days?? This is the cheapest crap box company I have ever known. They do not hire sufficient techs, they don't offer refunds etc. If you have a choice, DONT use them!

    I would give them ZERO STARS! I left California, and my then address in 2011, after roommates essentially stole my lease. (I had work abroad. They would only guarantee thirty days rent making me liable for the whole lease -- then they went to the landlord and requested the lease -- CRRREEEPY). The last internet bill includes their debt and I will not pay it. In addition, Comcast charged me for a crappy modem I had returned!! Five years later a zombie debt collector ("Stellar Recovery") has filed credit agency claims against me. Do not under any circumstances get internet from Comcast. They bill erroneously and you would join hundreds of former customers getting years of harassment from zombie debt collectors.

    Comcast... service ordered on July 6th... promised install on the 14th - "that's the soonest we can do it". Tech shows up on the 14th and says the cable under the alley is broke. Utilities have to come and replace it. Was promised the work to be done on the 25th (today). Came home from the hospital to find no work being done. Called Comcast. "No, we aren't scheduled to do that work until August 4th". Complained to Comcast. "No, no one here ever told you that it would be done on the 25th". But they wanted to reschedule the interior install that they have scheduled for tomorrow... which means they did promise to do the work on the 25th. And no, they will not escalate or expedite the work.

Left after 4.5 hours saying he talked to his supervisor and they be back the next day to finish the job. He cut my old wires and just left everything unfinished. He gave me his supervisor's number. Next day came and no one showed up. I called the number, got a voicemail and left messages. Finally I called Comcast/XFINITY to find out I have a new insulation schedule between 4-6 pm six days later.

    To make the story shorts, after being online for over two hours the customer service "supervisor" promised they will call me back within an hour with a "Urgent" installation request!

    I wrote a few days ago about the unbelievably poor customer service I have been receiving regarding unwarranted charges to my account. I still have a $496 charge when my costs should have been $109. Everyone admits the problem is on their end, but in over 10 days, no refund. I will continue writing all over the internet until something changes. NO COMPANY should be in business with a 0% customer service satisfaction. BTW, the better customer service number is 800 266 2278. If you call 800XFINITY you get the Philippines. At least I get to speak with someone here in this country and someone who will offer a direct line# when you have problems that have been as outrageously unresolved as I have.

    Now I have no service and called CS again yesterday. First I was told "there is NO SUCH THING as SAME DAY SERVICE...." then I was given a choice of between 8A to 10A or 10A to 12N for today. I chose the latter. I called at 11:40A because we hadn't even received the advance phone call. I was told he updated and said he would be there between 11:30A and 12N. At 12:39, I called again and was told I was RESCHEDULED now between 1P and 3P with expected arrival between 2P and 2:30P....no phone call....RESCHEDULED arrival???

    They said they had me down for 8A to 10A, which makes this new time even MORE EGREGIOUS. What's wrong with this company? How do you ever stay in business? I now had to reschedule to TUESDAY because of appointments on Monday. My tenant has been without TV and internet since FRIDAY. Does anyone at this company even care? I have at least 4 ticket numbers that I have taken the time to save. With the other calls I just asked them "What difference would it make?" I was told "none."

    Initially I was having an issue with one of my boxes. So I called CS and got someone outside of the U.S. After discussing the issue, I asked about bundling my service. I had at that time had another provider for phone and internet. The CSR told me my price, and the phone services I would receive. That was on 6/27. Today is 7/24. My phone is still not activated. Initially I hooked up my modem and phone probably about a week later as all the equipment came in the mail. However, I could not get the modem to work properly so I had to call and schedule a technician.

    First of all let me say, no one said there would be a $50 charge for that person to come out. I have later learned that any technician coming to your home for any reason will be a $50 service charge. To continue with my story, that appointment got cancelled by the technician on 7/3 as he was running late. It wasn't him that called but a CSR. That was fine. The next appointment I had to cancel and I rescheduled online. However the tech showed up anyway and I wasn't home. All this I could deal with. However, each time I have had an appointment made, I go check online in my account that I set up and my appointment is never there and whoever I get out of the U.S. can never confirm it even though I have talked to someone via phone and they set up my appointment.

    OK so the tech finally makes it out, mind you he is supposed to bring a DVR box that I didn't receive on my initial delivery and when he arrives the first thing he says is "I'm here to take care of (not those exact words but similar) a low hanging wire." I said, "no my phone and internet needs to be hooked up to work properly." Later he told me that was an "install fail" and that is the language I should use when I call them back because they were confused. The technician determined I needed a new cable so I had to confirm on the phone that he could come back and install it for $30. I said "fine". While the CSR was on the phone with him and me, I asked him to get her to confirm that he was going to get my phone working. She had no record of a phone being bundled with my package. Mind you on 6/27 the deal I made with the rep was going to be $159 with phone, internet, and TV.

    So on 7/3 I talked to another rep at length about my bundled package and we now included the DVR again for $7. OK, fine. However, in between all of this the tech comes back on a different day, adds the cable, but does not activate my phone. He says I need to call in the next day so that I can keep my same number I have had for 30 years. This was an issue I had with changing phone services initially back on 6/27. I would not have accepted this package. I would have kept it the way it was. But the CSR on 6/27 assured me he changed everything in the system for me to keep my phone.

    I have talked to I'm guessing 8 different people and each time I confirm what I need to do to keep my phone number. They say as soon as my phone is working with them to call my current provider and tell them to cancel my service and I already have Comcast keeping my phone number. OK, I'm still nervous about everything and wondering daily if I have made a mistake in changing my service. The guy initially on 6/27 assured me "don't worry you can change this in 30 days if you don't like it." I felt like I may as well take a chance. I can change my service back. However, It has been almost a month and the Customer Service is so horrendous that I'm really worried about keeping my phone. The Internet is working, and the TV channels are great (I got more with the new package), but now the "Solutions Department" called on 7/19 and spoke to me at great length on my dissatisfaction.

    Finally I thought someone in the U.S. that is making me feel comfortable. I can't tell you how many hours I have spent on the phone with different people. The number one problem is that one hand does not know what the other hand is doing. If you speak to someone on Chat, or on the Phone, it is the biggest circus I have ever encountered. It seems that no one keeps account of what a customer has already called about and you have to explain yourself over and over each time you call. It gets better!

    After I initially talked with the Solutions Department, the lady gave me her name "Gwen" and her personal extension number to call if I had any questions at all. She assured me I could deal with her from this point on. She also had taken care of the $50 charge that I was unaware of, as I told her my problems are not resolved. She also made an appointment for someone to come out "8/13" on a Saturday because that is the only time I could be here and that was the earliest appointment someone could come out and get my phone working. She also promised my service would be back dated. That was 7/19.

    On 7/20 I noticed something about my new changes that I had a question about and tried to call Gwen on her extension number. She had told me numerous times that she was in a different time zone, and I would have to call the 1800 that she gave me and ask them to transfer me to Mississippi. Well they said due to privacy issues they could not transfer me to anyone. They did not have that capability. Needless to say I was very upset. Finally after speaking with this person who was not in the U.S., they transferred me to the Solutions department and I got a sarcastic person who could not locate Gwen even with the extension number she gave me and I had to explain all the problems I have had over the past several weeks with appointments, service connection, price.

    Oh by the way, one reason I called was when I looked online at my account, my bill was $489. I was horrified and that is what I wanted to call and ask Gwen about. I couldn't believe that this person gave me a phone number and an extension and a name and no one could find her. How stupid and unprofessional is that. The girl that I spoke to on 7/20 made it sound like I made it up and that she could not explain why "someone would do that." Another words - why a CSR Solutions person would give me an extension and her name because they just don't do that. I told her several times she was talking condescending to me, and she said she wasn't. She was talking to me like I was an ignorant customer.

    So here we on on 7/24, I don't call because its a nightmare. I will have to hope and pray that on 8/13 someone shows up with my DVR box, and the readiness to fix my phone. I also hope that I get to keep my number of 30 years. Oh yes, I forgot, when I talked to Gwen, I had to agree to a two year contract. I thought, well she sounds like she knows what is best for me, and she said "don't worry. I will take care of you." So I had to confirm on the phone while she listened to a two year contract. You can understand my concerns now when I try to reach her the next day, and the people I get hold of act like she doesn't exist.

    I really wish I had kept my service for phone and Internet the way it was, and just got my new box to replace the one that wasn't working. All this grief could have been avoided but this company is in the business of selling things and once they get you to sign that contract, it's money in the bag. It's so funny too, everytime you call they want you to do the Customer Survey. Why? It doesn't help you improve your customer service. My advice would be to get all of your CSR's in the origin of the country that you do business in. As I see it, again, one hand doesn't have a clue as to what the other hand is doing from the CSR's outside the U.S. from the CSR's and techs inside the U.S.

    Oh yeah, when you call be prepared to spend 5 minutes trying to get to the right department. And be prepared to be rerouted several times when you call because that is not the right department. Be prepared to spend much of your time explaining and reexplaining and feeling like the person on the other end does not have a clue as to what is going on. Except in my case I thought I found that person "Gwen" however I could not contact her after that initial first time. She assured me and made me feel at ease.

    There is much more to this story that happened in phone conversations each time I called or Chatted online, but I can't go into it all, with the many hours I have spent with this company. I'm hoping that all this will be resolved and in the end my bill will only be a little over $200. That I will get to keep my phone number is so important to me, but I'm very worried that that won't happen. Bottom line, after all of this heartache, I don't recommend Comcast or Infinity or whatever they call themselves at all.

    My father is elderly and on a fixed income. We had Comcast service for years, with our bill always being wrong, over-charging, and confusing explanations as to why or what. So I called to cancel my dad's service. At that time they said because I was a VALUED customer, they would offer me basic cable and internet for 89.99 a month. That the promo was not in my area, to disregard my bill and pay the amount agreed. We verbally entered a two year rate contract via telephone in which I had to agree to the terms and conditions. They had me pay the past due amount so we could start fresh and told me how much to pay until they "manually" corrected the bill. I was asked to pay another 59.00 via phone which I did, and pay the rate of 120.00 as agreed with taxes included. I did all of those things.

    The bill was never corrected. They cut my service off twice for non-payment and I waited for hours to connect to someone to get it back on. They told me they would not charge the disconnect since it wasn't my error, I paid what I was asked to. The second time they disconnected me, once they turned it on, my upstairs TV would no longer work. Another two hours of them sending signals that didn't work. I had to wait a week for a tech to come out and was told I would be credited for the week with no service.

    Not only did that NOT happen, they charged me for tech coming out!! So I called again to wait for a couple hours to get to the right place. To be told the help ticket they put in for my account was denied. "What do you mean? I didn't ask you to do me any favors, you were trying to correct the fees for what YOU offered me!" They told me I should of never been offered that rate, and that I would not get that rate, and I owed over 600.00 for a triple bundle pack I did not even have! They said they could offer me a different more expensive promo but that was it. OK, so If I just quit paying you, you would go back to the recorded call and make me pay a whole two year contract but YOU don't have to honor it??? That's highly illegal!

    I called back fuming, and ask for the supervisor of the legal department. I informed them that what was going on was very illegal, and my elderly father was stuck with no way to the outside world if they cut us off. Obviously I can't afford a lawyer, but thankfully I got through to someone who either knows the laws, or has some freaking common sense and said they would get my account credit applied and fixed, backdated and all. I am not holding my breath. I know the girl was sincere, she seemed appalled by my situation, but until I see it I will not believe it.

    As of today, I have spent a combined total of over 15 hours on the phone trying to get what this company OFFERED ME!! Don't buy into the commercials about improving customer services, or you being number one, because my dad is too sick to fight this company, and if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have any tv or outside world entertainment. Worst company EVER, hands down. Once Google starts offering options, I believe Comcast will be out of business. If you have any other choice in your area, TAKE it. Do NOT struggle with what I have been through.

    Comcast lied in offering sent to consumers last fall. After agreeing to install their upgraded equipment they removed services, increased charges... Both were in exact opposition to the offer. No change in services, no increase in price... Both happened. I have spent hours on the phone, composing emails, but they just say "You weren't supposed to be getting those services and we don't offer that package anymore."

    Regardless, they lie, don't stand behind their own offerings and don't care about their customers. Now they are adding additional fees for local programming and channels that we are already paying them for. Last answer, "too bad, you have to pay these new charges or you can get service somewhere else." That is what I and several members of my family are in the process of doing. I can't believe it, but I think they are trying to get customers to leave. Seeing others have similar, but different issues makes me realize it isn't just me.

    I am writing this letter with a heavy heart. I have had disappointments in my life, but none as I have had in the last 4 days with Comcast. You may say I am being over dramatic, maybe, but I do know this, I have never been so disgusted with a company, while trying to get closure on a (consumer) problem. Let me explain: On Sunday, July 17, 2016, our Comcast cable was struck by lightning. It fried the Comcast cable lines (from the street on through), our TV's, our surround sound, the modem and receivers. Everything that was cabled to the modem. Our computers, appliances, iPads, cell phones, etc., were fine as they were not connected to the cable. I called Comcast, put in a ticket for damage, set up an appointment to have new Comcast cables run. I received an appointment for Tuesday July 19, 2016, 8-10 am. Not a problem, no TV's, no cable, no internet, nothing... I'll deal.

    I took off work, waited, waited, no show. I called Comcast, another 45-60 min hold time. It is now 12:30pm. I was informed that the person who scheduled my appt. put in the time window from 3-5pm. Since I have an hour drive to work, it was senseless to go in because of the corrected appt. of 3-5pm. Btw, he was late, although very nice, he was still late, he did not get to my home until 5:30pm. He ran all new cable, picture attached of the new cable lying on my lawn, connected the new modem, receiver and receiver relay. Checked the Internet, golden, cannot verify tv, because like I stated above, they were fried due to being connected to the modem.

    I called Comcast today to see where my damage ticket stood and was told it was declined due to an act of nature. So I put a call into the corporate office, opened a corporate ticket. This very nice person called me back, and again, it was declined. I asked her to submit another ticket, as she was doing so, she said that it will probably be declined since the previous ticket had been declined. I told her, I do not care, submit the ticket. I then asked her a very simple question, "how can Comcast deny my claim if it was "their" cables that got hit by lightning, traveled through my home and fried everything, including the Comcast cables?" She could not answer this. This ticket # **, is for Comcast to cover the items, TV's (2) and my surround sound, that was fried, yes due to lightning, the lightning that struck and fried the Comcast cable lines.

    I have suffered much loss between equipment, phone calls and time from work, not to mention that I am paying for a service that I have not had for the last 4 days, that this is very much unacceptable behavior from your corporation. As a single mother who has worked very hard for what I have and providing for my family, I do not have much and now I have even less. With that being said, I am reaching out to you in all fairness for compassion and doing what is the right thing to do! I thank you for your time!

Boxes came yesterday and internet is only 25 Mbps and my bill is $154. When I called CS, they told me that they are not responsible for what their rep discusses over the phone??? How is that possible? I was told that if I wanted 75 Mbps, there would be an extra fee of $10. I asked if they record the conversations and they said they did not know who I spoke with.

No matter how much I pleaded with the technician that I needed this for work. I was in my car racing while I was speaking to him. I said I am almost there 5 minutes, he left. When I called to get a supervisor NO ONE would help.

    Finally I reached someone who said they would get with a supervisor to try and get me set up the next day. He said, "I promise I will check on the first thing when I come in and call you". HE DIDN'T CALL ME BACK. When I called them it was, "Sorry, he was not around for the call," and it was "I guess he couldn't help you". Really this is how you treat your paying customers. If I did this in my business I would be unemployed. If I had a choice I would NOT use them but the area I am in has some contract with them, unfortunately. If you have a choice do not use Comcast.

I went to her home which is in a retirement community to wait. After a couple of hours, I decided to call them to make sure they knew where it was, and get an update from them.

    I got on the automated service, gave my phone number, and they told me they would be there within the next half hour. "Great," I thought. Then the automated service said, "Do you want to cancel this appointment?" I said, "NO!" The automated voice came back and said, "Your appointment is canceled." Needless to say, I was very upset. It took me eight minutes to get to a real person after that, and they said that there was NOTHING they could do about this. They would send another technician out tomorrow. This was totally unacceptable and unbelievable to me. SO close and yet SO far away. When I called customer service again this morning, it was more of the same. No recompense except for the two days that her service was out. Her service had been out for a few days previous to this, but they did not count this because no one had called to complain.

Now, being 3 month into new 12 month contract I got a higher bill than usual. So I called them and was told that my bill went up because they just got increase in some Sports Franchise fees. What a hell? If we have a contract for a fixed price, then stick with it. I wish I could jack up prices in a middle of a contract with my customers. When I called them, Comcast customer service informed that I can either pay the higher bills or cancel the service.

    Comcast had a cheap offer for home internet/phone service years ago & wanting to save money I regrettably signed w/ them. Almost on every single billing statement was an unknown charge which I had to call customer service about which Comcast could not understand what the charge was for exactly. After calling & supposedly resolving the erroneous charges, they would do the exact same thing again the following month. I had to cancel w/ them before the year contract. After much complaining they let me out. Then on top of that they would send special offer junk mail almost every other week which I called about & they said they would stop but of course I still get them. Comcast is garbage, an absolutely horrible company.

    STOP allowing this company to infect our community and take over overcharging our neighborhoods. Comcast infects all of us with bait and switch. VOTE NO to allowing them to continue moving into our community with screwing everyone they can. Well, NO one can find THEIR Comcast contract I signed, so MY copy is worthless with all their supposed additional increases EVERY year. OVER 100% increase with ADDED fees, in ADDITION to the overcharges for NON working WEEKS of NO service. Couldn't call 911 for emergency! NO internet for 2 weeks. NO TV for 2 weeks, and now only at intervals at random times daily! I have logged (in THEIR system) over 150 calls of NO service in a year, yet, their "right to increase from $89/mo (really ends up being $134/mo) will NOW go up to at LEAST $200/mo.

    Terms of contract keeps changing with each person I talk to. Then I'm told by administration that COMCAST is NOT responsible for what the call takers say or promise. They can say anything, promise anything and the customer can do NOTHING about it. Forget credit, or contract rate agreements. They don't exist!!! Rude people that continue sending your call to other departments, that can't help you because "that is not my area". To make a nightmare longer, you end up paying for their great bait and switch while they keep repeating the ADs of TV lingo of cheap prices, no service, equipment that does not work, and the "bundle" fails at least 3 hrs EVERY day. I seriously think everyone needs to call their area gov rep to complain and vote to DENY any future applications to "moving into or trying to increase service areas".

    If you sign with Comcast, it is very likely you'll have to deal with their customer service - and probably on a regular basis. Fees, already high compared with other companies, go up very, very frequently, with no warning. The surly customer service person I spoke to today when said that "Comcast does let you know, it sends you a bill with a higher price on and you can call them and try to negotiate it down" - it's as if I were forced to buy a car every few months. They offered to discount the price rise - of around $50! - but only if I sign a contract for 2 more years. I have only stuck with them for convenience, but I am going to find an alternative provider.

He then transferred me to someone else and then she claimed they cannot give me the internet for that price (she quoted me at 69.99), but it is cheaper to bundle the blast internet with a basic cable package (49.99). She must have said blast internet on the phone at least 10 times. I purchased that bundle since it fit my needs for the time being.

    Two days later I realize my internet is only 25 mbps. I called back and told them my problem and they simply told me even though they misquoted me and gave me the wrong information, they cannot do anything about it and I'd have to pay more.

    In a nutshell, In 2012-2014 I signed up for cable from a rep that came to my door. After having the service increase in price I cancelled it. They sent an agent to my home to collect a payment. The agent said he needed to apply a payment today or he won't get more service calls assigned to him. I said, "No, I don't pay people who come to my door". He said he would report to Comcast I paid in cash and come back to get the cash later so he did not lose his accounts. I said, "no". He did it anyway. A few days later he came back for payment. I felt sorry for him so I paid him (he had called and applied a payment to my acct when he said he did).

    A few weeks later he was back! I said, "no" and asked him not to return. He came again and I asked him again not to return. He was making me nervous. I am a single mother and he had been in my house once. I called Comcast and told them and asked them to not allow him back. First they denied they send people out then said, "ok".

    I then get a TV box sent to me. I did not want TV. I called Comcast and they said it was a special. It was $19 a month so I said, "ok". A week later it was turned off. I called them and asked them what was going on. They said they just discovered a past due balance (from the above creepy guy issue) and would not turn back on the TV service I did not order until it was paid in full! So, I said, "You sent me a TV box, turned it on for a full week and then discovered this balance? Or did you send me the box to get me hooked on the TV so I felt compelled to pay the creepy guy balance?"

    I returned the equipment. I sent a letter requesting they cancel the balance from the strange encounter with their agent. I cancelled all services. 3 years later I discover that my son is not being allowed to order service due to the balance on my old account. I was told it was because of the household debt rule. I also looked up my old account and it still shows that my TV service is connected! I called and they told me it was not showing connected on their screen and to "trust" them it is not active! Trust them?!? I told them I expected a huge bill at some time when they decide to update that 3 year old account and have to go through this all over again!

    I looked up the account that they are charging my son for and it has my address and phone number associated with it. Comcast said that can't be because they are not allowed to associate the same phone and address with a separate account. The account of course has gone to collections. We just found this out because as soon as my son tried to get service the collection agency called! How convenient! Hours and hours later I am still trying to get someone to help me and stop telling me this could not have happened. I have documentation from the original time I reported it. Comcast does not seem to care about that. I cannot believe that it is legal to begin unsolicited service to an account just to get payment. It should never take a week to "discover" an issue.

    I cannot believe that a company would hire agents and knowingly send them to a person's home after I reported that he had done something illegal (posted a payment I never made) and that he made me uncomfortable since I was a single mother with a young daughter. This issue alone is frightening, but the worst thing is when I reported again the Comcast rep wanted to know why I was complaining he gave me an extra week to pay!!! All in all, three years later this ugly problem is back after I thought it was resolved and now my son is involved and could in theory hurt his credit and they will not work with me! This is one of the many reasons I no longer have anything but digital bunny ear tv and AT&T internet.

NO ONE responds. Their customer service is anything BUT customer service. They know there's a problem, but do not have CLUE what it is or how to help businesses.

When I did get someone to answer, they transferred and disconnected me again. Called back, waited on hold again, got someone else to tell me they had no idea how to help.

    When it came time to transfer our Comcast service to a new address, due to an upcoming move, we were sure to notify Comcast a week in advance. The representative assured us that all we needed to do was to notify Comcast and move our equipment to the new residence, where we would set it up. Following our move, we found that the services was not working, and contacted Comcast customer service. After speaking with 5 different representatives, we came to little resolution. Often we were transferred from representative to representative, without any explanation given. Each time, we had to re-explain our situation. Once, a representative agreed to look into the issue and call us back in 20 minutes. He never called back. Eventually we spoke to a supervisor, who was extremely rude and actually hung up on us! When calling back, I spoke to a "Taylor," who provided no resolution for the poor treatment we received by the previous supervisor.

    After over an hour on the phone with Taylor, it was finally discovered that our service was never transferred - even after Comcast had confirmed that it was - and a service tech needed to be sent to our home. Mind you, it took 3 hours to come to this conclusion. They were unable to send a technician until days later, regardless of the fact that we had given a week notice in our move, and both work from home. The technician stated that our equipment that worked at our previous residence was not compatible with service on this side of the state of Michigan, and stated that it would have to be replaced. The technician then replaced it with IDENTICAL equipment. When the technician provided sign documentation and asked that I sign, indicating that I agreed to pay all charges, I declined. Yet - we were still charged a $50 installation fee.

    When calling Comcast back, the representative, "Shane" (ID: **) indicated in poor English that the service charge was valid and refused to compensate us for the issue. When asked to clarify, Shane used several incomprehensible phrases and again concluded that the service charge was valid. We are extremely dissatisfied with our customer service experience, and would gladly switch providers if Comcast had not monopolized the market.

    On 07/05/2016 night I saw smoke coming out of the coaxial cable outlet on the wall. That too when the cable box is NOT powered on and it's not connected to electrical outlet for more than 2 weeks. Coaxial cable outlet at Wall was hot and white cover plate turned yellow. I called 1800-Comcast for Customer Service Support. They DO NOT KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO AN EMERGENCY. Ms. NICKI told that "Someone will call you back by 11:30 PM" but no one called. Comcast did not send any emergency help. Rather than they suggested me to call PSEG whereas its coaxial cable which is burning. PSEG would do nothing since it's a cable issue. Using plier, I pulled cable out of the wall and metal piece is still fixed to wall outlet. The wall near outlet that was hot, started cooling down. Luckily nothing happened after that.

    During installation, a hole was punctured in the wall to bring the cable from alley to inside the bedroom. Not sure if that is the cause. If cable company is not taking ownership on the coaxial cable issue then who will? There is no electrical outlet close to that coaxial cable point at wall. On 07/06 morning, Ms Nicki called to see if someone called me. But nothing happened after that. I called back but could not get connected with supervisor for escalations. Had fire been caught up Comcast won't have any accountability since there is no proof after fire. All I wanted was a technician expert to come and open the Outlet and see what's going on. Someone has to see within the outlet if there was anything wrong. Then we can decide whose issue it is.

    When we open the cable outlet and if there is any damage done during the puncturing hole in wall Comcast should take ownership and fix it. But nothing happened next day except me calling and follow up out of my fear/panic mode. It happened second time in past 3 months. Since this cable box is powered off mostly, the issue goes unnoticed. First time the technician to fix the low signal strength issues and cable channel issues. He fixed the cable initially 2-3 months before. On 07/06 one technician comes and he says, "I cannot fix this but my supervisor will call you." Still no one called back. Rather than that I am calling and escalating again.

    On 07/07 during my call to 1800-Comcast, I asked for customer grievance cell or senior management for reporting my issue, but they have nothing to offer. After too much wait and insisting continuously, I was able to speak with Ms. EDONIE **, supervisor. She mentioned that someone will come on Saturday but I was not aware of that even. Then I insisted to get help today. She said she will try to send someone today. No one came. I call every day multiple times, spend easy 30 minutes to 1 hour in calls waiting/talking/escalating. There is no proper protocol that someone can come to house and fix the issue. I spoke with Mr. Bert or Mr. Kevin, I was told someone will come between 7-9 am but no one shows and I keep waiting on 07/08.

    On 07/08 Mr. Luis calls back in response to my survey after call to find out why I gave low rating on the call response or if services are restored. (No one cares about real issue but survey rating I guess that I got this call back from Comcast). Do you expect that there should be some definition of word EMERGENCY? It makes me terribly frustrated while talking to COMCAST CUSTOMER SERVICE, every time repeat the same story. Very unhappy experience with service since they did not understand the word "Emergency" and field/duty Supervisors are really careless as they don't care about this issue going so long.

    I don't need anything better. I'm not that much of a TV watcher. I was very happy with what I have, and did not want to change, so she became upset with me because I told her that doesn't make sense, and I told her that was crap to charge me more for the same equipment I've had, and if it's old then why should I pay more? So she basically hung up on me and transferred me over to repair without telling me, and then the repair rep had no idea why I was transferred. She was super nice, and after a long conversation convinced me it would be better to switch to X1. But then, because I don't have internet with them, but I do have Wifi, I couldn't upgrade, but she also didn't know why I couldn't change.

A few times the tech was so damn rude that I told them to leave and had to get rescheduled. For past 3 months my internet usage has shot up to past 300 GB in a month (340 GB, 422 GB, 572 GB). Prior to April 2016 our normal internet usage was 17-24 GB a month. There are 4 cell phones, 2 tablets using wifi. NO downloading of movies, music, or hardcore gaming at all.

    Used for watching vids on YouTube, playing casino game, email opening, Facebook, and sometimes Xfinity On the Go app for TV show watching. As you can see, nothing that would use a MASSIVE amount of GB, certainly not +300 GB in a month. Numerous calls have been made to Xfinity and as of last call 15 min ago, absolutely NOTHING has been to figure this problem out!!! No customer service rep, technical assistant rep or even Security dept rep can tell me the cause or give a solution to this issue. Obviously we have a big problem and Xfinity has no answer. Now I'm told by rep that if usage is high again this month they will start charging me for usage!!! What??? A problem that has been recognized but yet can't be solved and they are going to charge me for it!!!

    How can this be legal??? Every time I called about this scary data usage issue, I get the surprise voice when they hear my usage and have been told that they can see that another individual is downloading, but can't identify the IP address, or triangulate where the perp is located. We only use a secure network, a change passcode every other month and give to no one. So someone steals internet, downloads and then I'm going to have to pay for it, WRONG. I will fight them on this issue. 17 service calls to home, over 50 calls to Xfinity about issue with MASSIVE internet usage for past 3 months, without a clue as to HOW this is happening.

Comcast refused to give the same (or even close) price to a customer with nine-years of loyalty. "Oh, you have paid your bills every month for nine-years? Great, you can pay us MORE than a brand new customer with no loyalty history with us!"

    Once I found I could tether off my phone and get the same data rates, but only have to pay $10 more per month for unlimited internet, I called Comcast again and again they refused to offer any deals on their lowest, basic service (always wanted me to "bundle," but I don't own a TV and don't watch TV so have no use for anything other than basic internet), so I terminated their service immediately and haven't looked back. Every chance I get, I tell as many as I can about my experiences and have successfully steered a number of them to other services and away from Comcast, which I will continue to do.

    COMCAST is refusing to reissue a refund check in my mother's name, basing their decision on "Corporate Policy". I have come to the conclusion that COMCAST is seeking to KEEP the refund in order to maximize their profits. In short, my father passed away in AUG 2015 from the effects of Agent Orange during his time in Vietnam. Although he knew his time was short, he made sure all of his properties and accounts were "shared" with my mother. He did so to preclude my mom having to go through a Probate Court and/or establishing an Estate Account. The only item he did not foresee in his efforts was having all the bills in both their names. One of the bills which was solely in his name was his COMCAST account.

    Even though my mother cancelled service with this company, COMCAST refuses to issue refund checks in the name of the surviving spouses of former COMCAST customers. Instead of issuing refunds in the surviving spouses' name, they issue checks made out to "The Estate of **", knowing that the costs of establishing an estate account will far exceed the value of the refund. This allows COMCAST to enrich themselves from other people's misfortune. They did it to my mother, so we have first-hand experience in how they operate. Despite complaints to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and FCC, COMCAST continues to hide behind "Corporate Policy" in order to keep the refund amount.

    After 30 years in the military and government service, I know that there's NO policy that can't be amended or overruled. We sent COMCAST a copy of my father's death certificate, showing my mother as the surviving spouse. We even offered to send COMCAST a copy of my father's will, showing that my mother is entitled to all property and monetary accounts. Even though my mother's refund is only $80.25, it's money COMCAST knows they'll likely never have to pay back; the cost of establishing an Estate Account exceeds the value of her refund.

    If it happened to my mother, I know it's happened to a few hundred other people throughout the United States over the years. COMCAST's attitude toward my mother's request for a refund in her name is reprehensible!! I will NEVER again be a COMCAST customer. I urge anyone with a COMCAST account to help --- please call them and ask them to change this stupid policy. I would anyone who's currently a COMCAST customer to cancel service with this inept and highly corrupt company.

    I have been a customer for 20 years and have hated every day of it. The last straw was when I called to complain about outage. 2 service men came out and could not find problem. Then problem was found and a service man came out and fixed problem but left cable on top of ground and left without telling me. A neighbor came over to complain that a cable coming from my home was in their yard! I called Comcast and they said they would send someone out. Two days later I was leaving my home and noticed a big red new pick-up truck in my front yard. After all the rain we got weeks ago my yard was still soaked. The truck left a huge rut in middle of yard and broke my French drain that is buried 2 feet underground. The truck tire was buried half way or more to axle and I had no idea who this was. About that time a young man comes from the backyard and I asked why he tore up my yard and parked in it. He said he was from Comcast.

    I said "Well that's good but why did you park your truck in my front yard? You could have parked on the street like everyone else up and down the 3 block." He apologized and admitted fault and said he wasn't paying attention and let me take pictures of his truck in yard and said: "Comcast would fix the damages. I am just a subcontractor for them." I immediately called Comcast and they sent a claims adjustor out a few days later. I showed him the broken French drain, the rut in the yard. He took photos and I gave him photos of the sub-contractor, license plate and all and he said there would be no problem and it would be fixed because the contractor clearly was at fault. He even apologized for the carelessness of the sub-contractor.

    Next I got a letter from PremierCC of 6631 Cherry St., Houston, Texas 77092 saying "there was no negligence on our part!" There was no phone number. I tried to look up reviews and there was only 1 and it said it was no longer a BBB rated business and was likely closed. The letter was signed by ** but the envelope was hand written, sloppily I might add, with something that looked like a bugger on the face of the page-disgusting. Comcast is terrible. Deplorable. Every month it is something. I have complained to them numerous times. Neighbors tell me Dish is even worse so I have been tolerating. Last time I complained to the FCC and Comcast called me and begged me to accept free channels so I did reluctantly. They also promised to take care of me in the future. I guess this is their payback. I will not let this go. Worst company ever. Everyone who has a bad experience please call consumer affairs and the FCC.

    This company is a syndicate-a corrupt organization and needs to be shut down. They are squeezing the consumers. Strong arming us. They know we are over a barrel because they bought off the television stations who used to provide strong antenna service. Their movies are all re-re-runs and the ones worth watching we have to pay for. It is a racket! They have to be stopped!

    This company is a hard - 5/20 if it's even possible to be worse than the worst. Seriously, I hope someone reads these comments. If you know what's good for you, go with any other company other than them. They lie about your bill when you sign up, and it ends up being twice the original talked about price. God forbid the internet or cable ever works. It's like throwing $200 a month away. They don't care about their customers, everything from troubleshooting or a simple question is all done by an automated phone.

    They throw extra unknown charges on your bill, and charge you for things you never rented. God forbid THEY screw up your cable boxes. You get charged an extra arm and leg, even though it's their fault, then if you're like my family, you go weeks without cable because not a single person can help you with any of your problems. As soon as this contract is up I'm switching. Please go with ANY other company. Seriously save yourself the money and the headache.

    A Comcast contractor with a trencher arrived at my neighbor's house this morning as my wife and I were leaving for an appointment. When we returned, we had no internet, phone or cable. I checked out back and the trencher went right up to the pedestal in my backyard cutting my cable. There is a state call before you law dig in Colorado and there was no locate before he dug. Upon calling Comcast customer service I think I got someone in India as I could only understand one word in five.

    She then informed me that I will have to wait until tomorrow to get it repaired. This is horrible customer service since they are the ones who killed my service. When my contract is up, I will definitely change providers, probably CenturyLink for internet and Sling TV for cable. This is about the fourth time I have contacted Comcast's customer service and all they ever do is tell me to reset the modem and it never fixes anything.

    I have been a Comcast customer for 13 years (internet services) and recently add TV bundle. When I added the service I was very specific about asking billing information and what my first bill would look like as that was part of my decision as to making the switch from Dish Network to Comcast. When I opened my first bill from Comcast it is double what I was told it would be, so I called the 800 number and was advised there is nothing they can do.

    As a consumer I was not advised of all items listed on the bill and about certain portions of the bill that I was charged for. Comcast says they have a satisfaction guarantee but when you call them out on it they do not honor it. I have sent Neil Smit (Comcast President) an email and I doubt I will get a response, but we will see. I will also be call corporate on 7-5 as well to let them have it. I have never dealt with such an incompetent company as Comcast. All I am asking for is for them to honor what I was told or to cancel my service and owe them nothing. Either way I will not pay the double amount they are trying to charge me vs. what I was told. Neil Smith email came back as undeliverable. Not shocked though.

    We have had Xfinity Comcast "service" for 3 years. Initially it took three visits for correct install, which should have warned us as to what was ahead for us. The recurring problem was suspending the service for the summer. You can't do it online. You must do it in person or by phone, so you have no written proof so naturally they keep charging you. Since I have direct pay I can only check to see if they are still billing you or you check your credit card bill and every year they still bill you until you find out, since after we stop service until two months have gone by. Which in our case is $300 plus they won't issue credit because they say we have no proof we called! They have admitted that we haven't used the internet from the time we "allegedly" called but still will not issue credit! They are totally crooked and supply lousy service too, slow internet and very expensive. We cancelled service. I will do without the TV and go to ATT who also suck.

    This week (6/27/16 to 7/1/16) has been a week from Hell for me in dealing with COMCAST. I'm going to try and shorten LONG story for you. On 6/24 (Friday) after many many sales call from COMCAST to my cell phone #. I agreed to their bundle offer - we have had COMCAST cable for years, landline and internet was with AT&T, so I knew bundle package would save us money. COMCAST tech was scheduled to come out to our house on Monday (6/27) from 3 to 5pm.

    I explained to COMCAST that I work and would not be home until around 4:30 or 5:00 pm - sales rep said NO problem tech could be scheduled to come around 4:30 or after 5pm with that time frame. Got home Friday and had a voice message from COMCAST on landline phone that Monday would not work so they rescheduled for Wed (6/29) from 3 to 5 pm.

    I called COMCAST customer service agent Friday (6/24) evening to confirm that I would not be home until 4:30 pm was told would not be a problem. Tech would be scheduled to come between 4:30 & 5:00 pm with that time. Just for my info I called COMCAST cust serv agent twice on Saturday to confirm this time frame and was told NO problem... received call on cell Monday (6/27) to confirm tech appt. I confirm with COMCAST cust serv agent about time frame was told NO problem.

    I called twice on Tuesday (6/28) to confirm tech appt for after 4:30 pm with time frame of 3 to 5 pm was told NO problem. On Wed (6/29) COMCAST tech shows up at house at 2:30pm with NO call to cell from COMCAST about arrival time, of course no one was available to let TECH in house. TECH sit in our yard for one hour and then left with no contact to my cell phone #... upon arrival home Wednesday (6/29) night found that landline and internet had been ported from AT&T to COMCAST without my knowledge so we had NO working landline or internet service because COMCAST had not left any of their equipment and/or info about internet service... found this out from calling AT&T about no internet service.

    Call BACK to COMCAST cust serv agent and demanded that my service be ported back to AT&T was placed on hold several times transferred to tech support on phone for 1 and a half hours with NO solution to problem. Finally on the evening of Thursday 6/30 (after COMCAST cust serv agent named William used the F word about me) was on HOLD with a supervisor for over two hours, was cut off and as of today (7/1) I still have NO internet service or landline working.

My husband has been out of work for 18 months with a bad back surgery and we are barely making ends meet.

    You would think a company this huge and greedy would work with us to make more money. I make a payment one week, and the next week they turn off the service! Not even a courtesy call to give us a heads up or give us a chance to scrape the money together to pay it. More than 50% of the time our cable doesn't even work on one of the TV's.

    I am writing to describe a terrible experience I had with Comcast today. I moved into this apartment about six months ago and have been trying to get working cable ever since. I reached out to Comcast, who, for at least the first 2 months was not able to locate the address (apartment UPPER was in their system, not Apartment B). Despite the people downstairs and the apartment to my right having Comcast cable, I was told that there was no address in the system. Turns out, several calls and multiple customer service reps later, there was an address for my unit, but it said apartment upper, not apartment B. Comcast was unable to fix this in the system but agreed to set up service. I had service connected, paid a deposit, and went to pick up my own boxes and router for install. I had trouble with install from day 1.

    Finally got the internet set up (after having to have a tech come out to install after all), then when I bought a tv and connected the cable box (about 60 days later), turns out the cable didn't work. I couldn't get my tv/cable box past the Welcome... connecting... screen. I scheduled one appointment. The window of time was between 2-6. I missed the guy though no fault of his own, so rescheduled. Rescheduled and was told the tech didn't need access to my unit, only to come home to a door tag that says, "Sorry we missed you." Scheduled service again with a tech between 4-6 pm, left work early, only to get home at 4:03 pm to find a door tag time stamped at 4:00 pm that said, "Sorry we missed you!?!"

    I called Comcast to tell them I'd just walked through the door... it took THIRTY-FIVE minutes on hold, a hang up, call back, and two transfers for someone to come to the phone and tell me that the tech was no longer available and that I'd need to reschedule for a Saturday appointment. Of course the tech isn't available any longer... or even in the area probably! I've been trying to get through this - "please press 1, please say your address, please let us know if you'll take a brief survey after your call" automated system for almost an hour! At 10 til 5 pm I don't expect him to still be down the street. I did, however, expect a phone call when he arrived EARLY, and by 4 pm (the very start of the window) had already written and left a door tag.

    I tried expressing my frustrations to the person on the phone and he just sat in silence. I rambled on about how I felt giving someone a WINDOW of time, only to show up early, then leave before the window STARTED was poor customer service, but he sat silent. I asked if he was even listening to me and his response was, "I am." Monotone, zero concern for what I was going through... just more silence. I told him to please pass on my frustration, but I have no doubt that the guy really didn't care, hung up the phone with me, and moved on to the next caller. That's what prompted me to look online for a place to provide feedback.

    I wish I could make this review public and that there was an alternative to Comcast because service has been HORRIBLE since day 1, but this is the first site that showed when I did a Google search for Comcast Reviews, so here I am. I hope that someday this company can take all of these lengthy ONE STAR reviews and bad experiences and turn them around. I can't believe an organization this big doesn't care enough about it's paying customers to invest a LITTLE extra time and effort to make them happy. Geez.

    This is the single worst customer experience I have ever had. My mother is 95 years old and has been a Comcast customer for many years. She had to relocate to an assisted living facility this month and therefore wanted to get new service including a telephone line with Comcast. She called Comcast to set up new service (which appeared to be very easy). She was told the account was all set for new service and an installation tech would be at the new address on June 11 between 1-3 PM. She was told to call an automated number to port her existing AT&T telephone number to Comcast, which she did. She was told that the port would take 3-5 days and don't disconnect AT&T 'til next week.

    On Friday, I phoned Comcast to confirm installation for Saturday and was told "everything is set." No one showed on Saturday. When we called on Saturday, we were told that installation was cancelled because they phoned my mom's old number and no one answered. She was already in the assisted living facility and not at home...I had given Comcast my telephone contact, but no one called me. By the way, this took about two hours of my time.

    I called back on Saturday to reset installation and was told that Comcast would be able to come back out on Tuesday, June 21. In the meantime, the AT&T account was disconnected as was the old Comcast account. DISASTER...Comcast cannot handle multiple accounts. They called back late in the week to say they could not come on Tuesday, but could be there on Monday. GREAT!! Then, they called back and said they cannot come on Monday after all, but need to come back on Tuesday. I have spoken with 10-12 different customer service people who have given me account numbers, different phone numbers, misleading information, incorrect information and generally the worst service I have ever experienced.

    Finally Comcast came on Tuesday and said they could not install the service as the line in the wall is dead in the apartment. I was told by the complex manager that Comcast actually did the installation, but the installer told me he could not do anything. Gosh, imagine my surprise...Comcast cannot help!! Somehow, the manager of the complex got in touch with Comcast and they came back today (Wednesday) and installed the cable, but not the phone as the technician said the line was not good enough to drive both the cable and phone and someone needed to fix it. When he left the TV was working ok.

    Now it is six hours later and there is a message on the screen to call to activate service. So, I called...spoke with six different agents, none of whom can figure this out. I had to get the serial number on the box and call back again...two more agents...another four hours on the phone. I am on hold as I write this and still no television service. The account number I was given is not valid. The address listed with Comcast shows internet service and not TV or phone...my mom does not even have a computer. If I were Comcast I would just close my doors.

    Comcast agent just came back on and said the box that was left by the installer is not a valid box, so someone will have to come back to reinstall another box. What in the heck is Comcast doing or thinking? This is not rocket science...they are the absolute worst at this business I have ever seen. I was concerned when my mom was starting new service as I had terrible experiences myself with Comcast. I had Comcast four years ago and had billing problems every month for almost 15 months...so when I moved, I made sure that Comcast was not my only option. IF you have any other option, do NOT use Comcast.

    When I moved to my new home five years ago, I dropped Comcast due to their horrible customer service. After a five year hiatus, I decided to give Comcast another chance, so I placed an order for their triple play service. I was told that the equipment would arrive at my house in five to ten business day. After the equipment failed to arrive I called to check on the status of my order. I was told that my order was canceled because I never completed the E-911 portioned of the transfer process. Comcast failed me for several reasons. They should have completed the process the same day that I call (I later found out that is not a very long process). It was never explained to me that I needed to complete this portioned part of the process for the order to be completed.

    The frustrating part was that I asked "Is there anything else I need to do today?" The rep told me no. Also they should have called my cell phone not my home number as I told them to use my cell number as my primary means of contact. I also think that they should have sent an e-mail message about me needing to call them and finishing the process. I also asked if I could pick up the equipment, I was told no. I came to find out that I could have pick up the equipment whenever I wanted. At this point we are not to a good start because they are not providing me with the right answers to my questions. Despite my frustrations I decided to give them another chance. I placed my order again (it took a whole 90 seconds to complete the E-911) and went to the store to pick up the equipment.

    As I pick up the modem and the cable boxes I asked the rep, "Does anyone has to come to my house to connect the wires to your system?" The replied was, "No sir, all you have to do is connect the boxes and call this number." I went home and took my AT&T system out and plug the Comcast system up. I call their number and they tell me that I have to wait until Wednesday to connect my internet because they have to send someone to my house to connect the cable located on the outside of my house. Look I tried to be reasonable here. The problem is that I asked very specific questions in order to asses my responsibilities and to better plan and prepare. If they would have told me that they can connect my internet until two days from now I would have waited as to not interrupt my TV and internet services. I just think that the information should be provided by them and If I asked the questions the right answers should be given.

    I contacted their costumer service and complaint. The only thing I wanted to hear was that they would send someone to connect my cable. They said that they could not do it. I later received an email with the offer for them to send a technician and connect their services. By the time I received the email (which was fairly fast) I had already drove back to the store and returned their equipment. Comcast your customer service should not be measured by how nice people are. It should be measured by how competent they are at their job. I feel like I a dodged a bullet.

    We recently moved and requested a transfer of service with Comcast/Xfinity. They sent someone out the next day to connect our service, but things suddenly grew complicated. We were told that the "job could not be completed" due to the fact that "a bucket truck was needed to get up the pole." Customer service was called by the technician and they stated that within the hour a bucket truck would come to go up the pole. Needless to say, the bucket truck never came. Customer service was called again by me to inform Xfinity that our services were never connected.

    Customer service set up another appointment for five days later, for a bucket truck to come out. They also "notated on the account that it was necessary for a bucket truck to come out" in order for services to be completed. Day five finally came around and another regular technician showed up. He stated that he was "debating on doing the job" because he was not equipped to climb the pole, then he just left. Customer service was then called a third time for someone to connect our services. Another appointment was set for five more days later.

    Needless to say that at this point I'm frustrated and ready to switch to DirecTV! Once again Xfinity sends a regular technician out who is unequipped to connect my services! Now I just spoke to customer service one day prior to my appointment to confirm that they would first send a bucket truck, in order for the regular technician to complete the job in-house. Why is this so complex for Xfinity/Comcast to get right? My neighbor's service was transferred two days after they moved in with no problems, and did I mention that they have DirecTV. So maybe it's time for a change. Very dissatisfied with Xfinity/ Comcast.

    We had a bad storm when cable stopped working. For over a week they sent refresh signals then had us go exchange boxes. To no surprise, none of it worked. Cable worked intermittently. Made appt for tech to come check our terrace lines. Took off work losing money for tech appt. Tech came, said we weren't paying for our dvd. Said he had to call office before he continued. Cable started to work on 1 tv so my husband went out to tell him as he was driving away. He told my husband he was driving out back to check signal online. When he never came back we call Comcast and to our surprise the automotive service said we had appt for this Wednesday between 8 and 10.

    I got a tech on phone and she gave me a supervisor who argued with me saying he set a new appt unknown by us. She sent us to a complaint dept where she also stood up for the tech who obvious didn't want to work and said he was only a inside tech not a line tech. We set the appt knowing it was in the line duh? Then she offered to keep appt and give me $25 off service fees. Hello!! I lost a day of work about $150 and she wants me to lose another day and then say we have to pay to have it fixed!!! I looked it up and they are responsible for their lines. BS!!

    In the meantime we have to pay for cable we haven't had. So I can't afford another day off for at least a week and they aren't even offering to credit our bill. This isn't the first, 10th time we have been through this with them and if I have to take off work again it won't be for them. We are done!! I'm getting a different time service! We pay 180 per month for just cable and as many problems in the past year they should be paying me when I have only had service half the time. Something needs to be done with this company and it pretty much sucks that they are the only company beside satellite TV! Which is awful in Florida with the storms!!!

    I am a subscriber of the Comcast Internet, Cable and TV services. I consistently experience dropped service and have spoken to Comcast representatives on numerous occasion. I have in the past year have two of their best technicians come to examine my home since the problem apparently cannot be resolved. The most recent was here in March and changed some wires that are feeding the service. Latter part of 2015 a different tech came out and changed some wires on the outside box; yet the problem continues where I have number of down time.

    Today while speaking to a rep, she said it is giving her a message that I should contact the modem/router manufacturer, yet when the previous reps were here that suggestion was never made. I was told something seem to be blocking the signal strength. Not sure who to complain to about this horrible service and high price I am paying monthly to be frustrated. Sucks!!! One tech suggested I purchase a wifi extender but if there is no signal what's the use of the wifi extender. I was told I am being charged for the visit because it is not a Comcast modem.

    Where to even begin! On June 7th, I received a "courtesy call" from Comcast stating that someone had called to begin service in my apartment and they wanted to know when I was moving out. I told them I'd be moving out on June 21st and would like my services turned off on June 20th. This seemed all well and good at the time. My bill was paid for that billing cycle up to June 17th so I figured I would just pay for the 17th-20th. My monthly bill is $54. On June 10th, my services were disconnected. I called to inquire as to the problem and was told that they had disconnected my account because that is the day I'd asked for it to be turned off. When I told her that was incorrect, she stated that she needed to create an entirely new account for me but this would not cause any issues with service or billing.

    It is now June 20th, the day before I'm moving out, and I just noticed that there are 2 accounts in my name and both have been charged for cable and internet since the new account was open! I was being told that I owed $28 on my old account which had been previously disconnected by Comcast (and was already paid for) and $63 for the new account! The representative did not credit me for the week that I had left on my previous account's billing cycle that had already been paid for.

    They did credit the $28 on the account as it was their error and canceled the account completely. However, I'm now paying almost $10/month more on this new account without receiving credit for what had already been paid for on the previous account. I have HAD IT with this company!!! What a bunch of scam artists! And they have a monopoly on the service in my area so I was stuck with them if I had any hope of communicating with the outside world via my TV or computer. If you are able to find another ISP, DO IT! Stay as far away as possible from these crooks!

Force me to change modem (which was less than a month old) and the problem re-occurred less than a week later. One Comcast online tech admitted that Comcast cannot handle the internet traffic. Avoid Comcast as cable service provider, not worth $66.95 a month.

    I had a cut cable wire outside next to the cable box, I spent over a week everyday on the phone with Comcast reps, supervisors, and managers trying to get repair service. I was continuously made broken promises by all reps. Two appointments that I had to wait all day (8 am-8pm) were no shows, and I once again had to call, be put on hold, transferred to other agents who just said sorry, and agreed with me of the poor service people were receiving. Finally after over a week of time consuming phone calls and promises from Comcast someone came by to fix it. Well that was sad also. The girl knew nothing about the problem of the outside cable being sliced, and told me all she knew was the cable wasn't working. She didn't even fix the entire cable, all she did was put out a new line of cable and duct tape it to the old one, and then started to just leave.

    I stopped her and asked why the new cable was just laying on the ground all over my yard and gardens. Her response was, "I don't bury cables, you have to get another appointment for someone to do that". She said, "I set you up one, don't know when they will be out. should be within a week or so. But I don't have a confirmation number or anything to give you. Just call the company." So I did, and they had no record of her making an appointment to have all the orange cable wire buried, and they were shocked that she left the site as she did not completed. SO... I made another appointment to have someone come out to finish the job. We'll see how that goes. I'm sure I'll get the run around again. I have no faith in Comcast, and do not suggest anyone using them if at all possible. They are very unprofessional, and do not keep their appointments most of the time. And yes they will lie to you every chance they get.

    My experience with their customer service was horrible as I had spoken with 6 different reps about my internet and needing help getting the Gateway Installed. Keep in mind, my internet was working prior. They said the Gateway was not working and they needed to send a technician to my house. I told them since I had to do that, I would like to turn my old modem back on so I could get connection back. They said it did not work... It worked 30 minutes prior!! I said this is bull crap and I need someone asap. The 2nd tech said wait by the phone and she would call back in 10 minutes. She NEVER called back. I called again, got 3 rep and she said someone would be at my house on Sunday between 2 & 4. No one ever called so I called a 4th time. They said they would check and call me back. They never called back.

    I called a 5th time and they said someone was coming Tuesday between 2&4. I told them from the beginning I had to work and no one would be there!! They seemed to let that fly over their head. I finally said ok. Sat early! The techs came and did get my internet going but they left with my router, WHICH WAS MINE!! Now I have called them again, and am getting nowhere! Also, they are charging $10 modem plus the Gateway charges and I don't even have the modem either!!! My experience was so horrible, I felt as though I was about to have a nervous breakdown!! My heart was racing and I began having a panic attack! When you call Comcast, it requires you to speak to the automated system out loud. When I am at work I cannot speak out loud, especially when the automated operator does not understand what you are saying. That really makes my blood boil. You can't call anyone local, their numbers are all linked to one number.

    Even the technicians said they get complaints all the time. Plus they said they do not work on Sundays which confirmed that the Cust Serv. Replied. "I am begging someone to do something to regulate this company." The number of complaints should tell the story. They are pointed at the Customer Service. I have thought about suing for mental distress because, when you pay for a service and you do not get it through no fault of your own, someone needs to be held accountable.

    Fast forward and missed payment. Called, set up arrangement, shut service off. Called, turned it on. Next day, shut service off. Called and told them the arrangement. Had the rudest female ever who said rep should not have done that, turned service on and argued would not be paying 2 reconnect fees. She said, "Not my problem.

    Unfortunately I find myself having to share my very unfortunate experience with my cable and Internet provider "Comcast". I always viewed the people who took the time to complain as frustrated consumers and with too much time on their hands. Well... I must say that my frustration has brought me here today. I have been a loyal customer of Comcast for six years and have had nothing but one problem or another. From the Internet service, the cable service, along with the billing and no one at Comcast is able to get it right.

    I was recently was contacted by a Comcast/Xfinity rep and was advised that Comcast was upgrading the terminal boxes in my area. She explained that it would be a quick swap. She needed to know what day and time would work best for me. Due to my busy schedule I tried to accommodate the best as possible. We agreed on the following week. She explained that my technician would call me before he arrived to make sure I was home to complete the swap. After 3 long unexpected hours of installation (It was supposed to be a “quick” swap) the technician finally left. A week later, I then receive my bill reflecting a higher amount than my normal billing. Here is the run down...

    I called on a Saturday, spoke to billing and was told that the increased amount was due to a new box that was installed (I never contacted Comcast. I was contacted by them). A box I NEVER requested. The rep promised someone would call me back to resolve the issue. Being that no one contacted me on that next Monday I took upon myself to call them on Tuesday. After the long recorded menu I was able to get a rep in the billing department. He claimed he could not assist me with this issue and was transferred to someone in technical support. The gentleman in technical support explained it was a billing issue, he could not assist me with my issue. After going back and forth I requested to be transferred to a supervisor or a higher up. I was finally transferred to a young lady who had the courtesy to listen and help me out but not resolve my issue.

    In order to resolve the billing issue I was requested to swap boxes again so I would not continue to get charged. I was asked to return the box that was recently installed at a local Comcast location and swap it out with a box like I had before. I was told that I myself would have to install it... Really? I believe that I should have been advised initially of any extra charges for swapping boxes and clearly I was not. I was never made aware that it was an option to me. I wish the rep who called me to swap boxes had advised correctly. Instead I was told that this was normal procedure for all Comcast customers as Comcast was upgrading their equipment. Then they charge me for it. FRAUD!

    Last May I had planned a gathering at my home to watch a fight. I ordered the event and it never came through. I had to take my guest to a local bar and felt obligated to pay their cover charge since it was “my” provider that had failed. After speaking to Comcast rep about this issue they removed the charge for the fight and I was told that I would be compensated with HBO and Showtime for 2 years for only $1 each. I agreed. BIG NIGHTMARE with my billing!! As you can imagine I found myself calling 3 months in a row until they finally got my billing right. Unfortunately after I thought the issue was all cleared I then find out that Comcast didn't honor their promise of keeping both premium channels for $1. DISAPPOINTED AGAIN!

    Following that incident I'm having Internet issues. At this point I asked that my son be an authorized person to talk to as I no longer want to deal with Comcast reps. My son was told the problem would be resolved. Nope, not resolved! After more Internet issues I felt it was time to cancel and go with a different cable provider. I tried canceling 2 times and was suckered into better deals each time. Being such a creature of habit it sounded more convenient each time to stay with Comcast. BAD IDEA!

    A few years ago when I was having Internet issues “again” they had to send a technician out as they could not figure why I was having so many issues. After the technician was done fixing the issue at my home he explained that the modem Comcast had provided was not registering because it was never connected properly. He explained that the serial number on my modem did not match the one on my account. He basically told me I had no internet and I was using my neighbors internet the whole time. I then called Comcast to request a refund for the service they did not provided me and was declined a full refund. I was charged for over a year of internet service Comcast NEVER provided me. FRAUD!

    Unfortunately we rely on such a monopolized service provider and as consumers we suffer the consequences for their poor service as they continue to take our hardworking money. I have never been so disappointed and disgusted with any provider in the past. I feel cheated and abused by Comcast, a provider who unfortunately has the power to do so. I will continue to share my experience with Comcast with other sites and social media until Comcast takes control of their poor service.

    Okay, I had this technician come out about 2 weeks ago to hook up my Xfinity voice and internet service. He goes out back and sees my small garden blocking the area he had to work. So instead of avoiding my plants, this fool pulls up my wooden border and tosses it in the yard. He also stomped on all my plants like they weren't there. The wooden border is heavy with about 3 or 4 large nails sticking out. The thing was in my yard with the nails up... Anyone could have come through and stepped on it or tripped on the log. My son is the one who found it and informed me after he had left.

    Also, before he finished work at my house and before my son discovered the mess made outside, he left and said he had to go elsewhere to finish another job then come back to my house. He left and came back 45 minutes later then had the nerve to sit on my couch for 10-15 minutes saying he had to wait until a certain time to "clock in". WTF? So, you're gonna sit in my house watching TV until it's time to work? Really? I called Comcast and filed a complaint. I was told I would hear something after Memorial Day.

She hung up on me vs. saying "one moment", "thank you", etc. Last week I was on the line for more than 72 minutes - to subsequently learn (during call 3), that I did not receive the service discussed. My average monthly bill for fairly basic service is more than $200. The problem is that Comcast doesn't strive to be better or competitive - because of the very limited options to the consumer.

    I want to start with the fact that I only got Comcast because the building I moved into had a contract with Comcast so I did not have the option to get DirecTV who I used to have and loved! Once I got my equipment around the 17th of the month, I set it up and within one week I got a bill for $60 more than what they quoted me. When I talked to them they said that was for fees related to setting up my account even though I picked up the equipment and set it up myself. Since I didn't realize that they sent me a bill within one week because I discarded it as welcome mail became past due and by the time I got the next bill they already had shut off my service for being late on the first payment.

    When I called and made the payment they said that Comcast always bills ahead for the full month and they always charge for self installation, they said if I would have had someone come over it would have been $70 so it's considered a discount that I am paying to install it myself! I laughed it off and then they said that I still owed $12 as a late fee for the second month even though I had just paid the full balance it asked for online. When I asked why it didn't say I owed it online they said it will be on my next statement in two weeks but if I wanted my service back on I needed to pay the $12. I understand $12 is not a lot of money but the attitude the service rep had and the fact that it didn't state it online bothered me, so I asked if he really was going to not restore my service over $12 that has not been billed yet after I paid over $200 and he very matter of fact said yes.

    I and asked to speak to a manager, after being on hold for a few minutes he transferred me to the automated line and within a minute my service was back on. This is what Comcast customer service looks like. I say avoid them at all costs and if you are moving into an apartment complex that has a contract of exclusivity with Comcast I would say seriously reconsider. I am probably going to pay the early cancellation fee and not have cable. There are so many other sources these days for it that I don't need it!

    Fixing billing mistakes when I first signed up for Comcast required multiple 30+ minute phone calls with corrections that were confirmed on the phone not occurring thereafter. Billing cannot be redone in real-time in the sense that if you were overbilled, the customer is promised a refund next month but must pay the inaccurate and larger bill the month the mistake occurred. Finally, cancelling service required over 45 minutes, speaking to 3 customer representatives, and then was not done, leading to further charges on the account and a continued cycle of customer service calls.

    So I've been a DirecTV customer for many years and decided it was time for a change. I switched to Xfinity/Comcast under the assumption services would be better and more reasonable, boy was I wrong. I was asked for a $100 deposit that would be credited back to my account after the first year. Upon receiving my first bill, I was billed 2 months in advance and my deposit was gone. I called in to try to figure out what the problem was and also because I was within my 30 days to cancel and had been receiving promotional products in the mail that was at a cheaper price. Long story short, I was given the run around and offered premium channels free for 6 months I guess to shut me up and told that my deposit was used for installation fees.

    3 months later one of my receivers stop working. After spending a large amount of time on the phone, the end result was return the receiver the next day and try again. I went and exchanged the receiver, still nothing. I think maybe it's the remote, I went and got a new one - still nothing. I get back on the phone with Comcast, I was told a tech would have to come out because that receiver apparently wasn't receiving a signal from the main one.

    So after another $37 and some change charge added, the only thing I had to do in the first place was exchange the main box. I could have done that myself for free. Why not just tell me instead of having me let strange folks walk through my house and fix a problem that I could have solved 24 hrs ago? Then when I asked for credit for my box not working, I was told $1.59 was credited to my account for the day and a half it was down.

    After more than 10 in person contacts, chats, emails, phone calls... with COMcast (communistcast) about what I get vs what I pay for, I had to go the FCC complaint route to get the Ogre to look my way and address the still unresolved problems I have. I feel like a nat bug flying in the face of the beast and being swatted away as if I am just an annoyance to the ever money hungry service monopoly monster. Every time I make contact with it, it seems my bill goes up.

    A key problem with my service is, I pay for HD reception. One would expect that the cable box provided, as it is required to received service, will allow it. After 3 technician visits, I got the answer why I don't get full hd. I was told by the last tech visiting me that the box "required" to get it is the high end DVR one, only. No other cable box they provide will give full 1080p or better reception. This is an intentional corporate misrepresentation, no counter, phone or chat agents were aware of this fact in my conversations. The best I can get is 1080p, ok but nowhere near as good as it could be.

    If I had a newer 4k or better tv I would probably have complained to the tv maker thinking there is something wrong with it only to find out the signal I get doesn't provide. Remember when your dvd and blu-ray movies looked awesome on your low tech tv? Over the years, the tv and movie disk makers have compressed the signal/content which reduces quality, making you want the newer better picture quality models. Comcast seems to do the same thing with their video signal, forcing you to want their higher end service and pay through the nose for it.

    After posting my FCC complaint I got a call/voice mail from a Crystal ** of Florida Executive Customer Relations within 2 days. I also chatted with a supervisor online who promised to send me the dvr box that would allow 1080p, even an email to confirm its shipping, but even after 5 days the tracking # given doesn't say anything more than a label was created and no return call from Crystal. Since I already feel like I've been patronized so they can get to the next complaint, my assumption is more calls/chats will be needed and not have permanent resolution. If I want faster than a snail internet service, I am forced to use Comcast, as they have a monopoly over my area. I cannot use a dish, and that's another can of worm service fixings by providers. The infrastructure is there, why isn't it usable by any provider instead of just 1 predetermined company?

I called him following day and said we have to wait 2 months but then I would try it. Salesman put the order in anyways and a box of equipment showed on my doorstep. I never opened anything, unwrapped, or untied any of the equipment. I check on my computer to see what it said, showed a new service bill of $122.00. I took off work early to take the equipment to the Xfinity store in colorado springs. The staff person said my account was cleared and Xfinity was about to do away with salespeople being paid regardless if the account was activated.

    3 days later I checked online and this time it said I owed $23.00. So for a second time I had to go to the store, employee said he entered me a credit and quote "You shouldn't order anything from our door salespeople". Ok, so again for one, I never ordered it, and two, the staff comments and answers are plain ridiculous and insulting. Any plan or thoughts I might have had of signing up with this company in July are long gone. As far as I'm concerned they owe me money for wasted time talking to salesperson at my door and 2 trips to their store.

    Punch yourself in the face and it will be less painful than dealing with their foreigner customer service reps. I spent three weeks dealing with their scripted ** to get a refund on overcharges that were "guaranteed" seven times to happen within 48 hours. It took a complaint to the Better Business Bureau to get an INSTANT refund. I did get a call from an "executive" who basically gave the same type of lame excuses for poor customer service. I'm not complaining about the service of the cable/internet at all, but their customer service is the worst I've ever dealt with. Please don't hesitate to call the BBB...as that will be the only way you will get satisfaction.

    This review is based solely on customer service and installation. It all started day one. We had a closing date of January 18th. Scheduled installation for upcoming Saturday. They were a no show. No phone calls, etc. Called them to make it short - had to wait another week for installation. We had ordered basic service which included Internet. $64.99 a month. Well they brought an HD Box, set it up. (We don't have an HD TV) The voice aspect didn't work. Scheduled them again for fix.

    Replaced box again with a DVR box because that's all he had. Again we didn't order or want DVR.

    Since this all began we have had 3 boxes in total. Bill has been wrong every month except the 1st month. We finally got the correct box however still this month's bill is over $100.00. I hate these people. The amount of time we've spent on the phone with them and service calls the past few months is insane. I do NOT recommend them in the least. If you have any other cable alternatives in your area, I highly suggest you use them. My only other option was Dish and I don't want Dish. I wish Verizon was an option for me.

    I have been a customer for nearly 2 years. This company’s ONLY time of good prices is for the initial time period of a contract. After that the shake down begins, but also the service is HORRENDOUS!!! Very intermittent, never at the level that you are promised, but they charge you for it and brag about themselves as if their ads matter more than what they deliver. They beat you into submission because the only alternative is to block out five plus hours of your day for an incompetent technician to show up and basically change NOTHING... I know that most of the people using Comcast have no other choice or they wouldn't be here using it. This is the way it is. Like mafia the companies each mark out their territories and do their shakedowns... This is the one thing you can rely on with their services. You will be shaken down... period.

    Their service sucks. It is advisable to be very creative in your search for services before getting involved with them. It will become a headache you wish to avoid in no time at all. Wait lines for complaints are so long. This way the majority of us hang up before they have to be accountable... and like I say their technicians haven't got a clue what they are doing so a visit to your house is just a reminder of who is in charge so long as you are getting service from them.

    There are no basic services that are affordable. All there are is supposedly discounted services for the first year, which are high even to begin with, and then they trump up to ridiculous levels as the contract runs out. If only what they promised was what you got, but it isn't and trying to explain that, or get credits for it, well you have to put up with more home visits from their incompetent techs before they even talk to you about it. Their business relies on your not having a backup plan or ability to switch out. Don't go with this company. Try some creative start up. They just want your money through whatever creative means they can get it. Their services suck and are nothing to rely on, and nothing like as advertised!!!

    Spoke to a customer service rep 2 days ago and set up service for today 05/28/16 between 1pm and 5pm. Waited for service or at least a phone call till 4:20pm when I finally called into Comcast to ask about service man's whereabouts. Spoke with a young lady and she stated technician came to my home at 1:38pm. Huh? He knocked on door and then called me. Again huh? Roommate, dog and I never heard doorbell ring and I never got a call from technician. My dog was roaming free in yard and would have barked at anyone she didn't know on my property. Let alone a Comcast van pulling into my fenced driveway out in rural Golden Gate!!! It had just quit drizzling rain so maybe the tech didn't want to work?

    Lovely woman on phone then stated that unknown ghostly service man notated that I had to have a new cable line run because box was 250 feet away? Huh? I live in a rural area however I had service with Comcast in 2014. Lines were previously run and my home is 125 feet off the center crown of the asphalt road and MAIN telephone pole they run service off of is approximately 150 feet from cable box on west side of home. HOWEVER my neighbor currently has Comcast and there is a telephone pole between our 2 homes and Comcast previously ran cable and internet off THAT telephone pole which is approximately 35 to 40 feet away from my cable box.

    I get the impression the technician did not want to work late today and choose to falsify his paperwork on this potential installation. I asked when they would send someone else and of course since it is 5 pm on Saturday and Monday is Memorial Day it would be Tuesday between 8am and 8pm?? Wow! What horrendous customer service. I can honestly see now why I dumped their service 2 years ago. Technicians that don't show up then lie about it and then I'm going to potentially be charged for adding new lines when lines are already there or can be run off neighbors and my existing pole and box??? I'm very disappointed to have waited all afternoon for nothing. And it appears Comcast doesn't give a damn about my time waiting. And then to find out they are going to probably try and charge me for a quote "250+" foot line installation is bogus!!! WOW! How is Comcast still in business?

    A year and a half ago, I moved to my new residence and after having Comcast for 7 years, I unfortunately had to do away with the service as Directv was already installed in the residence. Fast forward to two weeks ago. I had the opportunity to choose my provider and called Comcast. In order to save money, I put myself on a fixed monthly budget, so I explained to the CSR what how much I would allocate to a bundled service or just internet and cable. I also explained to him that I was willing to reduce channels just to get my monthly payment where it needs to be. As he tried to sell me more items and I continued to decline, he started getting frustrated. I thought I had made it clear right from the start what my budget was. In the midst of his frustration, he let out a LOUD YAWN. That did it for me!! I hang up and called Directv reconnect services.

    I recently had to cancel my account with Comcast due to moving to a new location that does not offer the service. Since I still had time on my contract I was charged an early termination fee. I felt this was not fair to charge me $200 for something that I had no control over (their services not offered). I called to attempt to get this fee waived and was told that it was a legitimate charge and there was nothing I could do about it. At no point when I was signing this contract was this explained to me.

    In addition, I was told when I originally called to cancel that it would most likely be waived. "They do it all the time". When I turned in the equipment I was told the same thing. I was highly disappointing in this response considering I was a customer that ALWAYS paid on time and had their service for over 5 years. This was even through times where there was slow internet that would often disconnect. I will actively ensure that I do not utilize Comcast services in the future and will urge friends and family to do the same.

    I requested my service to be transfer from my old address to the new one. I thought everything was fine until I called to confirm three days before my moving and found out that they do not service my new address. A week later, I received a $816.41 bill for early termination fees. What??? Yes, they basically cancelled my service, did not let me know and charged me for it. I called the 1800 number on the bill but the number apparently is private, then I email them but no one answer and during that process, I received a letter from a collection agency. I called them and they said that I have to disputed directly with them. So since I was not able to reach a human soul, I tried chatting in the site.

    I was helped by Emmanuel, which stated that I was right, however he said that I needed to call another number because they are the ones that handled that. I called and a service rep told me that he needed to escalate the matter to the escalation team (???) which said that they were not able to remove the early termination fees because somewhere in the contract states that I was responsible even If they do not service an area. (Whattt). What is more interesting is that I have a friend that just went through the same thing but in her case they were able to remove the fees. So bottom line, it seems that Comcast is choosing and picking who they would like to help!!! Do that sounds discriminatory to anyone???

    I recently received my Comcast bill and my normal $150 bill (for past 4 years) was nearly $600. I figured must be a billing mistake and called Comcast to resolve. The customer service rep informed me that my phone bill had racked up international charges (to Africa) of nearly $400. I informed the rep I've never used the phone service, never activated the number, and don't even have a handset. Rep informed me they would open a dispute case, have a supervisor call me within 48 hrs, and remove the charges. Additionally, I cancelled that number and received a new phone number and figured, done deal.

    Ten days later, no call from supervisor, no info on case and charges not removed. The same thing happened 2 more times even though I was assured each time the matter would be resolved. On the fourth call I find out the original case had been closed (without my notification or concurrence) and my charges were now $1000+ because calls continued to Africa from that original number that although cancelled still linked to my account. Even after Comcast phone technicians/ department informed me I could not have made the calls because the number was never activated, nor did I receive a handset, Comcast still has not removed the charges or rectified the situation, not sure why they don't listen to their own people.

    It's been over a month now and the charges still continue to mount ($1000+ now). I've since cancelled both numbers associated with my account, but don't have any confidence or faith this will resolve the issue and feel the phone charges will continue to add up. Now I'm worried because the bill is overdue, Comcast might send out to collections and possibly ruin my credit score.

    How someone was able to hack my number/account and how Comcast was unable to stop them from continuing to rack up charges even after I notified them blows my mind. Completely unacceptable and once this is finally resolved, I will definitely discontinue my service with Comcast. Just don't feel safe. They can stop it from happening again or resolve in a timely manner if it were to happen again. Complete loss of confidence!

    Comcast has repeatedly "slammed" me in the past 7 years. My monthly billing is spectacularly unpredictable despite maintaining the same products. I've been sporadically billed for equipment such as a modem which was returned to their technician. I've been billed for sports programming packages I've never ordered. After every such incident I've had to endure 40+ minutes of their 'customer service' banality, as they promise that the issue is resolved. Discounts are applied then disappear a month or two later. I WAS ASSURED MY MONTHLY BILL WOULD REMAIN STATIC FOR 12 MONTHS. Three months later my bill has increased 30%.

    I called in to downgrade my service to Internet (from triple play) and was informed the monthly fee would still be $80. I ask why it would be so high when new customers could get Internet $45? The customer service rep on the other end of the phone told me that they couldn't get the level of Internet that I had for $45 yet there is a very clear ad for the very same Internet for $45 a month. They would not give me a cheaper rate so I canceled the service.

    Today I went to turn in the TV box and the modem. I was greeted at the door. I was given a ticket and asked to sit and wait. Five minutes later one of the representatives named Courtney called my name. He did not greet me when I got to the counter. He did not say anything. I handed him the ticket I had been given, which he took, processed, did whatever he had to do in the computer, handed me a receipt and I left. He did not say a word.

    After reading a few reviews I had to write my own because I have run into the same problem. I have had Comcast for 7 months now and all I wanted to do was a simple address change and before I began Comcast put a random number on my account without asking me for one and they said they tried to contact me multiple times. So after I put the request to change to address I received a call from a lady named Andrea from the activation team stating I have a past due account from 2012 where I had cable for barely 2 months and before I switch my account I have to pay for it. 2012 I have no recollection of this and let me remind you I had service for 7 months. Paid on time and everything and paid off a previously owed bill.

    Long story short this Andrea lady put a block on my apartment so my roommate cannot get cable either and Comcast is the only cable service that is available in my area. SMH. My thing is I didn't receive one letter nor is it on my credit report that I owe anything from 2012 to Comcast so I'll continue to use their internet and on demand service free of charge since they won't let me pay for service that I already had.

    This started happening sometimes in April 2016, and affects all customers of Comcast. In the past, after entering a payment online on their website, there was a box (which was automatically already checked) stating that you supposedly agreed on storing the details about how you paid (either complete bank or credit card information). You had to manually remove this check-mark to prohibit Comcast to store your personal payment information. Now in May 2016, this option is gone, and a note tells you that whatever payment information you use, is automatically stored in your profile (stored by Comcast). You can only pay if you agree on this.

    Just another way how companies here try to invade your privacy. I am sending payment from external sources now. And I am getting rid of Comcast, it is only getting worse.

    I previously had the very basic Comcast service with very few channels but faster internet. I moved and upgraded my service to a bundle including fast internet, more channel and phone. I did not need or want the home phone service but could not get the bundle without taking it. I told the Comcast rep that I did not intend to use the home phone (I do not even have a physical phone) as I only use my cell. I was told "no problem" that it will just be there when I want to use it.

    I have been trying to pay my bill for my new account online. Only my old account is showing up and I cannot open a new account or link to my new account from my old account. I have made 4 calls to Comcast, spent time with their rude online chat, talked to 2 supervisors to try to get this resolved - over 3 hours to try to pay them money!!! They will not change over or help me set up my new online account until after they call me at home on their Comcast number. I keep telling them that I am calling from work, and do not have a physical phone for them to call me on.

    Still not resolved. I was never told that I would have to have a phone to do any "security verification" and I feel like I was lied to by Comcast. Again, I am trying to pay my bill online - something that saves them money. Rude and unhelpful customer service. If I had another choice, I would switch but Comcast is the only service in my area. I can hardly wait until some real competition comes so I can leave Comcast.

    I recently check my credit report and found that Comcast did a hard credit check back in Oct. 2015. So I called to get this resolved and they issued a ER1 Ticket to dispute this issue. At first I felt I was getting the runaround on why it happened. So for two weeks I called and I even went to a local office to get answers, but no one could provide me that information. So I took matters into my own hands and filed a complaint with the FCC and my Attorney General. Just days after my FCC complaint, I received a call from Comcast Public Relations that said they have issued a letter to Equifax and I will soon get an update from the FCC that this matter was resolved. Now I just have to wait out the 30+ for a credit score update to see on Credit Karma if they did the right thing this time. They mention that a billing error caused the hard credit check, because I had just returned the equipment and closed my acct. with them back in Oct. 2015.
