So Comcast sucks. I was on the phone with them for 2 hours and 15 mins today including the second call after someone hung up on me. Got transferred from representative to representative and none of them figured out my problem. Just closed my account with them and I'm so relieved of all their issues and overcharges to my account without my consent. I have been trying to figure my problem with my account for over 2 months and none of them could figure it out. I called exactly 19 times even spoke with supervisors and no one fixed my problem until now. Closing my account was my only and best option and I will never pay for their services again and that call lasted 2 hours and 15 mins. Also rude customer service at their Comcast centers. Never again. Happily switching to DirecTV.

I recently moved to a new address. I called to order a fresh installation from Comcast. So I called and scheduled on a Friday and set up an appointment for the following Thursday (First available). The day came, I paid a friend to be at my house during the installation time as it was between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm and I had to work. So I checked in throughout the time and the technician never showed. I gave a grace period of 20 minutes then called Comcast to see where their representative/technician was during the scheduled time. During the time it took for them to get my name and do the automated voice responses, Comcast called and left a message for me that they could not find my place (in this day and age of navigation systems) since I was on the phone. I got off the phone and checked my messages and heard their message about them not being about to locate my residence.
I called back 6 minutes after they called me and stated that I was on the phone with Comcast during their call and was calling to give the driver directions to my residence. I then was informed that the driver had already left my area and that I would have to reschedule. After I had to pay someone to be at the property and they were over 20 minutes late for the appointment, they refused to have the service technician return to the property and said I would now have to wait another 7 days for the next available appointment. So it is fine for their tech to blow off the time that he was guaranteed to be at my home in and I am 6 minutes late getting back to them because I was on the phone with them about them not showing up, and I have to wait an additional 7 days.
IF YOU HAVE ANOTHER SERVICE PROVIDER OPTION TAKE IT, COMCAST IS THE WORST!!! I have had most of the major internet service providers in my life and COMCAST is by far the worst. I have had COX, Time Warner, Mediacom, Comcast, Verizon and all of them beat Comcast hands down.

I order my service online and I pay 29.99 for shipping to receive the service in 2 days. I received them on time but when I called to activate it Comcast keep giving me excuses why they can not activate it. I ordered online a service called 2175 Latino with blast upgrade which include 130 channels and 75 mbps, and after several calls they told that there was a problem with the system and they will call me back and they never did. Next day I called after receiving an email at 1 am in the morning, giving me thanks for the service I order which was internet basic of 3 mbps (I was confused). I was on the phone with several departments for more than 3 hours and they can't give me an answer why the order was changed and why the service could not be activated. I'm just so frustrated with Comcast, I will never recommended to anybody. Now I understand everybody's disappointment.

I went in to close an old bank account I had and were not using, and found out that a year ago COMCAST made a withdrawal of nearly $500 from it. I called Comcast and they give me the runaround eventually explaining that they basically don't care where the money comes from and I should take it up with my bank. Bank will not investigate since I closed the account and it's past 60 days from the transaction (time limit for fraudulent transactions). Seriously, both parties smoothly wash their hands away from this?
I am absolutely sure Comcast can track down the payment based on my bank account number, day and amount of the payment, but they had no interest in doing so. Instead, they kept asking for an account number I had ten years ago and used to pay with the bank account that now got ripped off. They got money so they're happy and arrogant. So basically anyone who has your bank account can call Comcast and pay with your money. If you won't notice in 60 days you're screwed since no one cares. Watch out friends.

3 times I got a recording (which I get), then transferred and hung up on... 45 min. Mind you I make 40 dollars an hour. Then the 4th time I got an agent and I could not get it sent to me because I am not my husband. Even though I have his SS and so on. Just for a remote. Now we are up to 90 minutes. So we are up to 60 dollars of my time. And don't get me started on my bill going up 40% in one month. It is a scam...

I ordered Comcast service for my salon that was not yet opened yet. The tech installed my service and maybe 2 weeks later I received a $200+ bill. I was shocked. I had not had a television hooked up nor a computer. I thought I was jumping ahead to order service and to have it in place for when I did open after grand opening. The fact that I had already received a bill but had not use a gb of internet or cable was ridiculous! I snatched every wire and everything up immediately. Found a office, turn equipment in, got a receipt which is what I was being told by telephone - just turn equipment in and get a receipt. I am and explained over and over after numerous calls that I am willing to pay the installation fee only because that is all I actually experienced from Comcast is an installation. I am 6 months pregnant and this problem has consumed my life and won't go away.
Now I am still receiving a bill that is still going up even without equipment at all existing in my place. I never signed an agreement to even get service but now they are telling me I'm still getting billed because I didn't do a disconnect properly.. How is that!? When I was told to turn equipment in and get a receipt as long as it was well before 30 days. Now they are harping on some design disconnect that I was suppose to sign but according to them I was also suppose to sign an agreement for service as well which never happened. I still actually needed to get Comcast service because it's the only company who offers phone and internet. But at this point I will just play music from a radio because this is absolutely absurd that they think that they will continue to charge me even when no equipment and also try to charge me an early termination fee for business service when I had the wires 2 weeks! No service!
And still receiving bills today with no equipment at all. Now the bill is $500 and I have still yet to experience the service. My salon just open a couple days ago and now I cannot even offer my customers WiFi or anything due to this problem. This is causing a major hiccup in my life to be 6months pregnant constantly on the phone with smart mouth representatives who has absolutely no compassion or understanding about the situation but would if they were in my shoes. I am absolutely positive they have a way of knowing if service is being used and what's the point of saying calls are recorded if they can't be pulled back up as evidence. Someone needs to help consumers with this problem. Money hungry vultures!

I was placed under a contract and didn't know it. Every time I called, my service costs kept increasing and the rep lied to me telling me a bundle service would be less costly. People around the world can't speak English and they are hard to understand. Finally, I was going to transfer service after moving but they shut my service off early and harassed me. They are a 69B company because they lie to consumers!

Comcast is a pitiful cable/internet company. They were suppose come install internet at my house today from 3-5 pm, but they decided they wanted to show early and at 2 pm. So now I have to reschedule an appointment for their mistake. I'm only going with Comcast for internet because they are the only internet provider in my area. Oh, and I cable with them at my last apartment. Which went out all the time. I always had messages on my tv screen that read, "Cannot connect to X1 platform!" I would pay $150 a month for my cable not to even work half the time!!!

I saw on TV an ad for Comcast Internet for $19.95 a month for 12 months. I called since we are interested in changing internet service. Seems the $19.95 is for 3mb/sec speed??? That is so slow as to be non-existent. What the man then quoted me was $50/month and I don't do games, movies, watch TV, listen to podcasts etc. Talk about "bait and switch". - classic example. We will NOT change - at least to Comcast.

In a period of 1 month I have paid over $800 in service. Every time I call to get a breakdown they come up with all these fees. I made a payment of $225, then they said I owed a balance of $115 so I paid that. A week later my service is disconnected because of an unpaid balance of $272. Not sure how so much money, I don't understand how that can all be for one month, since I keep up with my payments. Fast forward a week later and they automatic debit $429 from my account WITHOUT MY CONSENT. I call to get my money returned since they did not have consent and the rep tells me that I authorized it. I DID NOT. I speak with a manager and was told that they would be pulling the recording of my call when I made the $272 to make sure I didn't consent. If they find that it was their error, I would get my money refunded. I was told a manager was going to call me within 24 hours. I did not receive a call.
I called back in on Sunday to check the status and was told that they reviewed the tapes and it was an error on their end and my money would be returned in 48 hours. It's been 48 hours and I still don't have my money. I called in to speak with someone about the status and I had a very rude representative tell me that there was no refund pending, that I authorized the automatic debit and that I basically would have to pay $255 additional to get the $429 to even be considered to refunded. I speak to a team lead I am assuming and she tells me that I cannot get my money back. By this time I am extremely frustrated, it's been an hour and a half on the phone. I have several reps telling me different things. They have no customer service skills. I get transferred to a billing manager only for him to tell me I would be receiving a call in 24 hours after they review the recordings of the call.
I would not recommend them to anyone, they have horrible customer service, they charge way too much, and somehow they charged me up to $800 in fees for one month. I am certainly switching to a new cable service as they are ridiculous. Money does not grow on trees. I pay more for cable than my electric bill in summertime in Texas.... DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM AT ALL.

Over the past three years we have continued to have a periodic loss of Channel 8 (GA PBS), either audio, video, or both. Four weeks ago, I reported the loss of audio to Comcast. Ten days later a technician came out and verified the loss. He was late to my appointment, because he left another residence nearby with the same fault... it was difficult to analyze using company equipment. In short, the trouble ticket was cancelled because it is beyond the repair capability of Comcast technical branch.
After two weeks, I called to ask if the Engineering department was going to repair equipment at the head, where the signal is being transmitted throughout our region. My first call did not result in the expected supervisor call as promised. Forty five minutes later I made a second call, and the same result was obtained. No supervisor would speak to me.
After thirty minutes of being placed on hold, the representative attempted to explain, without admitting Comcast will do nothing, it is beyond the technical group's ability; thus, I was offered a set of options I rejected. I repeated my original request, to speak to anyone, after making it clear I could either cancel Comcast service or submit to Comcast's unreasonable demands. Surprise, no call could be completed to their Loyalty Rewards Department, the representative told me; for me to cancel my service or discuss repairs.
Comcast has not upgraded my area to digital, thus, DTA's will not work. We have direct cable feed. Purportedly, the huge cable box Comcast offers will resolve the problem. I assert the problem remains in the equipment interface between Comcast and GA PBS station itself. They refuse to fix that problem. No trouble ticket can be or will be created, as it will never reach the Engineering Department.
Updated on 08/26/2015: We had significant thunderstorms beginning shortly after midnight. I reported problems around 5 A.M. Although I was told it was not an area-wide outage, and an appointment was scheduled, service was restored by 6 P.M. today -- about 13 hours. Further, I was called at about 4 P.M. to verify my appointment for tomorrow, indicating the automated message had not been cancelled with repairs near completion. I still believe it was an area-wide outage, but happy to have service restored.

Since we switched to X1, the quality of service went out the window. I'd say from a 7 before to a 1 (that's being generous). We're long term customers, but after outage after outage, after a few appointments the technician never showed for after I took off work, and after two to three times a week calling so they can send signals to get our boxes working cause they wouldn't ever run, I finally canceled with this extremely overpriced company and went to AT&T and I'm a thousand times happier. If you're reading this, AT&T cable is a million times better, cheaper and get this - the cable actually works when we turn it on. Thanks for nothing but headache after headache Comcast. You should be shut down for your lack of quality and overcharging consumers.

I ordered new service from Comcast, which in Florida is Xfinity. When I finally received the self installation kit and opened the cable box, I come to find an old, beat up, filthy and used cable box. That is just add on top of being transferred from rep to rep, after I got an email that welcomed me to Xfinity-Comcast and suggested I could use the wi-fi hotspot service even before I received the kit. When I try to create a username and password, it wouldn't work. I called three times to the different phone numbers that each rep gave me since no one could help to find out that I couldn't log into Xfinity's wi-fi until I received the installation kit. This has been the worst customer service and experience I have ever encountered with any company. This has made my move to Florida a bitter move. Do not get your service with Xfinity aka Comcast.

I really don't know why I continue to bother with Comcast. The Customer service agents are so unhelpful. I wanted to have someone sent out because I haven't had cable in one room for two weeks. About a month ago, my cable box started shutting on and off, it got so bad that it was shutting on and off over 20 times in a few hours. I got a new box, hooked it up the exact same way as usual, and got nothing but a black screen. I finally called someone. I explained that I'm getting a black screen. It's like the cable box is off, but it's actually on. The cable remote will only turn off the TV, it won't change channels. It's like I don't have cable in the back room.
I spent over an hour following the agent's tedious instructions. I nearly broke my back unplugging all the wires as I was told to do about a dozen times. Nothing worked. The agent said, "Does your menu guide come on?" I said, "No, it's like the cable box is off." He said, "Can you get on demand?" I said, "No, it's like the cable box is off, nothing is going on on the screen." He said, "What happens when you press help?" I'm ready to scream at that point because I have already said nothing is functioning, there is nothing but a black screen, the remote does not control the box. He continued to ask more of the same types of questions, as though I had not explained a single thing.
No, no, no! Nothing works! Finally he said, "There must be something wrong with your RCA cable, I will send a new one out." I said, "OK." I get the thing in the mail eventually. It doesn't work. I call back. I tell them I want a tech out, go through the whole song and dance again up until the new agent tries to make me do all the unplugging over again. I refused. I said, "I just went through that, it's pointless, a tech needs to come out." The guy talks over me. He insists that I follow some simple steps to see if it works. I said I already did those things at least 25 times, it does not work. "Do it again," he said.
I refused. I'm not in the best of health, and I was not breaking my back again to do what I had already done. I kept saying, "Please send a tech out." The guy won't put a order in. He says, "Try this," "try that," like I didn't just refuse to do so twice. This went on for quite a while. He simply would not have someone sent out. I finally told him that I was no longer going to go back and forth with him. "Make an appointment for a tech or I'm cancelling and calling up somebody that can get me some service." He STILL tried to get me to unplug all the wires! I remained silent, he reluctantly put in an order for a tech. The tech will be out in 4 days. It does not make sense to have to go through something like that to get someone to come out when you haven't had cable in a room for a while.

The facts: I've had XFINITY Comcast since approximately 6/7/15 (75mbps internet & 3 HD cable boxes). The internet is slow: I work from home via email (no one else using my internet) and it typically takes 7 to 10 seconds to send/receive email (my Verizon 4G phone is much faster). There is typically a 3 to 5 second lag when going to any website as well. The cable: The (3) HD boxes in my home have lags when turning on, changing channels, and using the remote (none of these are a huge deal). More importantly, I've had to reset all 3 boxes at least 3 times each due to the boxes freezing for no reason (I've only had them for approx 2 months). Sometimes this requires calling Comcast customer service which will take at least 45 minutes.
In approximately 2 months with Comcast, I've had service outages with both cable and internet multiple times and have spent a minimum of 20 hours on the phone with Comcast only to receive a $10 monthly discount. I also received a $75 bill for the initial install because "the service tech had to wire the home". I had to call and dispute this because, believe it or not, the previous homeowner still had Comcast hooked up when they arrived to install mine. Upon customer service reviewing this, they deducted it from my bill with a simple apology. The most recent issue/outage was on 8/9/15 so I finally gave in and canceled my service. Due to breaking my contract, I was fined $220 for early termination. So, I get penalized heavily for canceling Comcast's service due to Comcast not being able to provide the quality of service that they guarantee. Lesson learned, this will be my last dealing ever with Comcast.

Called to make payment arrangements with Comcast a week ago to make my payment online due to a financial emergency on the 6th of August which I did, then Comcast took $256 more dollars out of my account the same day. This overdrew my account and caused other payments to bounce with overdraft fees. The customer service women was very very rude and refused to help me, I asked to be transferred to customer loyalty department and she said "For what reason? They aren't going to help you either," and would not transfer me. I called back and I finally got a decent customer service man and he said the money and the fees would be refunded on Saturday and this has not yet happened... I am switching providers... No wonder they have such a bad customer service reputation! Now I have no money until next payday and I cannot afford my daily meds on top of the overdraft fees! This is WRONG WRONG WRONG!

I have just spent 2 hours on their so call Customer Service online to resolve what I thought was 3 simple questions and they were not resolved in any way, shape or form. I fail to understand how they can have "Customer Service" which works fine btw if you are ordering stuff but when you need something resolved it does not work. As a residential user I wonder what can be done to this lack of service. It seems to me it's a dance to get user to give up resolving their questions/problems and I did write a bad review but I doubt it will have any effect.

After we moved into our new home, we looked for cable and internet providers and there were not many to choose from. Two to be exact, Comcast and AT&T. We decided to go with Comcast for their higher internet speed. HUGE mistake! After receiving our first bill, we were over charged, called the company, and the extra hidden fees that were put on were removed and the customer service rep offered us a deal for cable. The box was sent via mail and did not work. After a week of being on the phone every night for over an hour listening to the CSR'S promising that someone would come out, which NEVER happened, we cancelled service. If you are reading reviews to research whom you are choosing, please take this into consideration and DO NOT SIGN UP FOR COMCAST! Now calling AT&T!

I just recently agreed to upgrade to the new X1 system on August 6. In the call, which was recorded, I was not only given a date of Aug. 17 for installation but was given the option between two free installs - do it myself or have a Comcast technician come to my home and do it. I opted for the latter. I was also told on August 6 to expect a confirmation email with all the details.
As of August 7, no email had arrived. I called Comcast and was very surprised to learn that not only was my installation date now August 28th without any notification, I was also informed that there would be a $39.95 callout charge for the installation. I did receive the email shortly thereafter this and found out that not only was there going to be a $39.95 charge but an additional $20 for a 1 Product Install. So in 36 hours, I went from a free install on August 17th to a $59.95 fee for installation on August 28th. Comcast agree to review the recorded call if they could find it and get back to me no later than Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. We'll see.

With regard to Comcast customer service, to be fair, they are a business and they train their customer service reps to sell up (i.e. offer current deals or promotions), I understand that business model and for the most part it's good business. However, when a customer is calling in to report an issue they're experiencing with the service they are paying for; generally they don't want to speak to paying out more money for additional services. Such was the case when I called to report I was not getting the service I was already paying for for the past 8+ years. Their customer service rep tried to up-sell me to a bundled plan but I would have to pay a $50.00 deposit to get a plan I wasn't interested in.
Then they proceeded to tell me that there wasn't anything they could do about my problem of not receiving the speed I was promised (100 Mbps) or compensate me for the services I had already been paying for but had not received. They did however set up a service technician to come out to check my connection to make sure the cable was connected properly. I don't know if the service tech checked the outside or not. He did come in and get my computer speed up to 94 Mbps, but it didn't stay consistent. So he suggested that I update my router to a Dual Band router which would help reduce the noise over the wireless bandwidth over the WiFi. I took his suggestion, however my speed still remained inconsistent to get anywhere near 100 Mbps.
Long story short, I ended up having to call them again, and again the same thing happened with the up-sell. Again I explained I only wanted was promised in terms of my service, I only wanted my internet speed up to par. The gentlemen stated he would reduce my bill and give me the promotion of bundled cable and internet for $59.99 and started writing up the order, then as an after thought said to me "the $50.00 deposit is your money and you get it back after 12 months." I told him "no, I was not agreeing to that at all". I've been a customer for 8 years and pay each month and I was not going to pay an additional deposit when I've already proven my loyalty.
This customer service rep immediately got irritated and said he would just cancel out everything and couldn't help me. I asked him to put me in touch with his supervisor; I no longer had the patience to deal with someone who did not have the authority to 1) compensate me for the service I had been paying for and not receiving, 2) not able to reduce my bill back to the amount I was paying prior to them raising the rates on me by almost $20.00 per month to $72.49 per month just for internet. I finally got his supervisor to connect me to someone in their customer loyalty department who took the time to listen to my experience and actually rectify the problem.
While Comcast can be somewhat difficult to navigate, if you push back hard enough, eventually you will get someone who will listen and make sense of what the customer needs to be satisfied. Now I believe it shouldn't be that difficult, but if it takes fighting to get the service you're paying for, my attitude and strong suggestion is to fight. Businesses need to remember it is US, the consumer that keep their lights on and their people employed and we deserve to get what we are paying for at the highest levels of service.

I put my Xfinity with Comcast account on hold when I moved out of my apartment on 9/2014. I wanted to close it, but they told me that my "contract," which I was unaware I had, would require an "early cancellation fee" which was pretty hefty (don't recall the exact amount). I told them I would be travelling, provided a forwarding address for my mail, and kept my equipment so that rather than break the contract, I could just re-activate my account when I finished travelling. I continued to pay their equipment rental fee of $12 per month. I never received any correspondence from Xfinity to my new address that I had provided.
Fast-forward 6 months, when I had a fraud claim on my debit card, and my bank sent me a new one. I had yet to notice that Xfinity had re-activated my account at my old address (which I had told them on 9/14 that I no longer lived at) and began, and had begun charging not only $12/month in equipment rental, but $200/month for TV/Internet at an address I no longer lived at, sending bills to that same address. When the fraud claim shut down that card, they sent the charges to their collections department. That's when I started getting phone calls.
I filed a fraud claim as that's what it initially appeared to be. I spent nearly an hour on the phone working through that. They allegedly mailed out a "fraud package"... again, TO AN ADDRESS I TOLD THEM REPEATEDLY I NO LONGER LIVE AT. Despite my updating my address again, they still insisted on mailing everything to my old one. As of today, Xfinity claimed I owed $548 in past charges (for service at an address I no longer lived at), and $500 for the un-returned equipment. I returned the equipment, but negotiating on the outstanding charges was a nightmare. 90 minutes on the phone with 6 different people, all of them adamant that I was 100% at fault, and Xfinity had done nothing wrong. Nevermind that they never updated my address. Nevermind that they never called me when my debit card stopped working. Or when my account was being randomly re-activated.
I negotiated the charges down from $548 to $276. They claim that the issue is now resolved. I would love to provide documentation of it all here, but they won't sent me a speck of information. They continue to say that they cannot mail me any confirmation of the closure of this matter, except to my old address that I NO LONGER LIVE AT. They won't email me anything. They won't even fax. I feel like I'm speaking a foreign language when I explain that to them why that's not OK. WORST, WORST, WORST company, worst customer service, terrible internet, mediocre TV. I will do everything possible to never use them again.

I asked to speak with a supervisor... He said they were all busy. I implied I would wait for one to be available (I work in a call center, a superior should be available at all times). He insisted that they were helping with calls due to the high call volume... which is ridiculous to me. Comcast you should get more employees if you have to take your superiors away from their job to help with another job!!! The agent "Phill **" was not customer services... He did not go out of his way to help me!!!! He was not polite nor sound friendly nor like he was smiling through the phone. He had a very angry tone and was very short. He is not what I want to speak to when I call a company - your employees represent you!!!
Customer satisfaction is always a number one goal!!! Your call center employees are your direct contact to your customers!!! If a employee can not deal with stress, ongoing pressure, high call volume and can't assist a customer engaged and be personal make sure their experience with you was the best you could possible be, then fire them!!! I want someone that can help me after sitting on hold for 35 mins, not a employee that won't go above and beyond to assist me with my problem!!! You're called customer service representative for a reason - you represent Comcast. Comcast do a better job with the employees you hired. Horrible business. Also make sure you guys do coaching with your employees!!! Listen to the call with them. Help them fix errors or mistakes so they can become better!!!

I had decided to upgrade to the Triple Play package for around $80 thru the Franklin township NJ office because of great service from serviceman at that office. The service was set up and came as planned. While there the tech. explained that I needed cable in the upstairs office for the computer set up and I would need to get an electrician to install. I asked him if he could do the TV only but could not separate the package. I understood, and called Comcast 800 number to find out what a price would be for the TV and why we were unable to install the Triple Play. The Lady I talked to was not a English speaking lady and seemed very confused with the simple problem asking me many time the same questions. I hung up in frustration, a man called who talked to my wife who also didn't seem to understand a simple problem.
I tried again later not able to get anyone who could understand my request for price on a TV package. I decided to go back to the service center in Franklin township NJ and the man there was able to solve my problem and gave me a price of The TV which I didn't get because it was a few dollars less than the triple play. The service center was great, however the phone centers are the worst thing when you can't understand basic questions. If I had a real choice I would never deal with Comcast again.

I opened a Triple Play account with Comcast back in February 2015. They could not provide promised service so I closed the account and returned their equipment 5 days later and received confirmation of delivery. A week later I got a call that I owe them over a $1000.0 for equipment. Took me several calls and a ton of aggravation to prove to them that they did receive the equipment and I do not owe them anything. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from collection agency beginning of August stating that my account was placed for collection. That action affected my credit rating causing it to drop significantly. When I called Comcast and spent close to 3 hours on a phone, talking to 4 different people, they told me that a credit was not properly applied toward my account and I do not owe them anything. Meanwhile my credit rating is shot. Never ever have I seen such a moronic, unprofessional company.

After making changes to my account to add services for a minimal price change I was charged a significant amount more than the quoted price. During the initial call and subsequent calls prior to the bill, I received verbal confirmation from the agent of the price and the fact that I was not in a term agreement. Once the inaccurate bill arrived I called to inquire and was met with hostility over the phone by every agent I spoke to. I have no written or electronic documentation supporting Xfinity's account of the situation or my account of the situation. I only have the "recorded for quality and training" purpose, phone conversation.
I was told that my agreement was for the charged amount and that I was bound to a two year term agreement. When I asked to have the original call reviewed I was told that this is not typically done and that it would be ill advised to pursue any further investigation on this matter.

I have only recently subscribed to the internet service of Comcast (7/30/15). I have done nothing but call and chat with numerous of agents and have been confronted with misleading, unhelpful people. No one seems to fully understand the procedures and billing and overall workings of the company they work for. I called 4 days ago to set up service with Doug. I was told that I would be refunded a service charge of $50 after my service was up and running. I chatted again that day with a Michael as to see why my account information was incorrect because it said I had purchased television when like I stated before I purchased internet. That was then fixed but I also asked about the refund of $50 and was told that this would happen within 24-72 hours. Fine. No such thing has happened. I have proof of conversation transcript as well.
Then I called the next day to set up my modem since I was at work til late the previous day. I was told my modem was not one that was compatible by a Mindy. Fine. I went and bought one that was (8/1/15). I was on the phone with Arrianna, and she informed me that due to all my hassle as I was unable to get connection she would send out a technician 3 days later mind you Free Of Charge. Mind you this is after being on the phone for over an hour trying to get connection But, fine by me. Even though I still had no internet and was unable to connect to the xfinity hot spots. Today, 8/3/2015, I received an email stating that was being charged $78 for the technician to come out for Tomorrow, 8/4/15. Mind you the previous day I was told I wouldn't be charged since I had been trying for days to set this service up.
I spoke with a Felicia today who argued with me about how I couldn't have been waived this charged because then it would be Free! Exactly! I was told it would be! She informs me that I misunderstood. I asked for the phone records. She says that would take a week to receive. So she takes it upon herself to cancel my technician visit, though I still have no internet and even thought I told her this many times. She explains to me that I told her to cancel the technician Which I did not, When instead I told her that if customer service was not a priority to this company and that I have been continuously misinformed since day 1 that I was interested in canceling my account because I was informed that I would be able to be FULLY refunded if done so within 30 days of setting up service. She said that was true. So somehow along with saying this she took it upon herself to mess up my appointment. Therefore I have to wait an additional 24 hours.
With that I ask for a supervisor which she puts me on hold for. No supervisor picks up but instead Felicia, who informs me that she rescheduled for Wednesday, and the fee will be waived. And in the instant that I told her to make it for 5-7, she repeats the information back incorrectly as 3-5, and explains she only really understands military hours. I still have no internet. I am waiting to see about this waived fee. I am beyond annoyed with this service and the only reason I am still using them is because it is the only service that my complex uses along with one other that is more expensive.
Mind you I have been overly understanding, constantly asking for clarification, no profanity, rudeness or anything and these employees have not been helpful. Very confusing and do not hold accountable their employees. It is unprofessional and misleading for a consumer to have to constantly call in regards to an account when misinformed. It should be their duty to make this process swift and as hassle free as possible. And yet I have been told that I am misunderstanding with more than 5 people? Makes no sense to me.

Whenever I call Comcast they reduce my bill without question. They are making a fortune on people who do not call them on their overcharges. 1/15-$194.61 (PAID$157.54), 4/15$177.95, 5/15-$191.83. I didn't call them on the last 2 bills listed because I was in the hospital. Today they reduced my 7/8 bill from $261.90 to $167.07.

Someone needs to investigate the practices of Comcast. I am a long time customer and aside from the customer service you get on the phone, the service has been good. However, since I started receiving letters and emails regarding the new modem, I have noticed a decided change in my response time. My internet is slower in connecting. Even when I use my landline, which I must have for my security system which is not thru Comcast, there is a delay after I dial a number before it connects. I do not believe in coincidence so my only conclusion is that Comcast is manipulating my service levels and response time. This is a deceptive business practice. I do not believe for one minute that the modem I have has suddenly become obsolete or incompatible. Comcast is stealing money from its customers and the regulators are looking the other way.

I was lied to by service reps of Comcast four times from the Philippines to Mexico to Philadelphia to Jamaica. Comcast representatives lied regarding installations and credits for modems. I was then lied to three times by representatives in the Philadelphia executive office for customer relations. Finally I asked for a supervisor who was very nice and did nothing but transfer the call to my local Florida office who also lied. I have 4 hours of saved audio tape on this issue. My last call to Comcast I spoke with a Philadelphia corporate customer service supervisor who merely hung up the phone on me and refused to deal with the issue. Clearly Comcast has the worst customer service imaginable and has a policy of given all customers complete runaround technique. This time I have recorded evidence with dates and names. Looking forward to seeing how Comcast reacts if indeed I pursue the cause in court.

I hooked up Comcast when I moved recently. I actually had to move again a few weeks later, and Comcast failed to straighten out the bill between the two addresses. I've called them five times and had one chat session. Twice Comcast said they would fix my bill. Both times they did not, the charges went back on my bill. I was so frustrated I asked Comcast that in light of the time and hassle of trying to fix this bill over the course of two months that they zero out my account and start fresh from the current bill cycle, but they refused. They have shut my service off twice now and keep charging me reactivation and late fees. It's unbelievable that they treat people like this, that their customer service is so incredibly terrible, and that they refuse to right their own mistakes. I will happily pay more for another provider to escape Comcast.

I had a vacation home in Tennessee and had Comcast cable, internet and security service. I sold cabin and new owner wanted to keep exact services. Still had 2 years left on alarm system contract but new owner more than willing to assume contract. Comcast said only way they could do this was if we both went in person to their Knoxville office. He lived in Louisiana and I lived in New York. I was forced to drive 800 miles to sign a piece of paper. Even though they could verify me on the phone that was their policy. I would rather go without TV and internet than ever deal with this company again. The multiple service reps and managers I spoke to didn't care. This has got to be the worst company on the planet and I see why they consistently are ranked poorly in customer service. Hopefully technology will continue to advance and they will become a dinosaur in the not too distant future so no one has to suffer dealing with them.

First of all when will it be possible to pick what channels you want and pay for only the channels you want. I am SICK AND TIRED of paying for foreign language channels. If people want other than English then pay for it. This is the United States, period. By the time I figure out what's on the program is 1/2 over. Don't need multiple shopping channels, multiple sports channels, multiple yap channels, UWTV etc. There are way too many crap channels and I mean crap. Don't need High Def, I was raised on rabbit ears. Paying $172+ for bundled service is crap. That's $2,000 a year for WHAT? 200+ channels that mean nothing to the average Joe.
Comcast distributes popular channels within its bundles so you have to PAY additional money so you can have the channels that you want to watch then end up with multiple channels that are CRAP, and then you have to navigate around the crap channels. I hope Comcast implodes. Their customer service is horrible. They are way too big, too fast. I feel if a thousand people refuse to pay their bill I will join them.

I had called Comcast to try and get my monthly bill reduced. The lady was very nice and suggested I upgrade to the X1 box. I could save around $20.00 a month. Now the nightmare begins. On the they were suppose to install the new box, they call and cancel. Reschedule for two days later. Two days later they call again and cancel. You would think they would put a note out there saying "make sure we get this customer taken care of today as we already canceled once." They give you this four hour window which can really screw up your work day.
When I try to call they have this annoying automated voice system. They want you to say what you need help with but cannot recognize what you say. Useless. I finally get through to a person and they apologize, and promise a $20.00 credit. Wow, $20.00 when I probably lost $600.00 in wages since I missed work for two days. By the way, I have yet to see this credit. They then tell me I can pick up the box at their office, and return my equipment after I install the new box. I travel 30 minutes to get to the office and they tell me that they cannot give me a box until I bring in my other boxes. Well at this point I decided to drop Comcast TV and Voice. The internet is cable, reliable and the fastest around. This is the only thing this company has going for it. Without the internet, they would be out of business. I am now a satellite TV and VOIP phone customer and very happy I made the change. The thing is, they really don't care.

It makes 5 days we have No service at all (cable internet and phone) in one of our home. I called them 10 times staying over the phone around 5 hours. I went to their store to change the box but like it was not working. I took an appointment with a technician who came to said he can't do nothing, he had to put a special work order. So 72h later we still wait the technicians to replace the outside line.
You never know when they are coming. No open windows time, so you should stay at home and waiting their call because you HAVE TO BE HERE. As a vacation home, clients have to be able to call 911 if something happens. With no phone line, no internet it is hard to give a call. Unfortunately COMCAST is the only provider in this area, but as soon as there will be a new one, be sure I close my account right away.

I have had Comcast for 15 years, for most of this time service has been satisfactory. That is until I received my bill today. They had increased it by $15.00, apparently by adding HBO and renaming my package without my knowledge or consent. Their explanation was that due to their increased costs they had to increase rates in my area, and that in order to make my "viewing experience" more enjoyable they added HBO. WHAT A CROCK! With this line of thought I guess they get HBO free. Internet is mainly what I want anyway and there are other alternatives fortunately. For the most part TV sucks, reruns and reality.

This company is a greedy vulture. Even online, when you have screenshots of your orders, they try to screw you. Well, good thing is that I have options for service providers and it was a no brainer to call them immediately and cancel the service orders.

Then someone else stops by and says they fixed the issue but nothing is fixed. I'm charged for a service that is spotty and does not work like it should.There is never, and I mean never, a Supervisor on shift to talk to.

I got my services upgraded Feb. 2015, when the tech came to my home - I ran to Walmart to purchase my own modem. He installed my new modem. I asked him to take back some remote a small digital box from a second TV and the Comcast Modem. When I got my next bill I noticed that they still was charging me for the second digital box and the modem. I call Comcast with this complaint and they credited my bill for the current bill and the next bill (the second bill was printed by then). Everything was good for a couple of months - then once again I was hit with an Comcast modem charge of 10.00.
I called again and they suggested that I send them a receipt of me giving the Tech the Modem. By this time I'm livid. Some after several calls back and forth, I faxed over the receipt thinking this ordeal was over. Several days later I get a call from a rep from Comcast stating that since there isn't a serial number on the receipt, so I'm still responsible for the modem. I'm at a lost for words with them - meanwhile on my Comcast Bill it states Customer Owned Modem $0.00, Comcast Modem $10.00. At this point I've been paying the full bill, while fighting Comcast trying to get this resolved. I even suggested that Comcast look at the data information from the Modem to see if it's being used for the location. I think the Tech took the Modem for his own uses and I'm paying for it. I will find every Comcast address for Customer Service and send a well documented letter until I get an answer.

No service appears to be possible without responses to: Customer Name and address on your account, Customer number, Digital box numbers effected, Social Security number, Amount of last payment.
Yesterday's occurrence was to report that our Channel 3 had no audio for at least a couple of hours. Then, the video came on and the audio went away. This was on our three TVs. After we provided the answers to the questions Comcast asked, the operator hung up. It really does not make my life better to call Comcast, it only adds to the frustration as the Service people continually suggest that any problem you may be experiencing is caused by the customer.

I have been a loyal Comcast customer for many years but I'm tired of being lied to, overbilled & taken advantage of so am finally cancelling my service in hopes that my next provider has a policy in place that demands fair/honest interactions with its customers. In my opinion, Comcast deploys fraudulent, inconsistent sales/billing tactics to hook in and then gouge their customers. And although they may (if backed into a corner) admit the customer was promised something very different than what they actually received, they steadfastly refuse to hold themselves accountable in any way or do right by the customer by removing extra charges the customer incurs as a result.
This leads to inconsistent, unpredictable bills & confusion for the customer & when the customer calls Comcast to try to make sense of their over-inflated bills they are often given conflicting, inaccurate info. If you call Comcast 5 times with the same issue, you can count on being given 5 different answers from 5 different reps. The customer is unable to pin down or obtain in writing specifics pertaining to their inconsistent billing, leading to confusion & mistrust which I believe is why Comcast has the worst cust. service satisfaction rating of all cable companies.
The sales staff offers very good deals in order to get prospective customers to sign up for their products but once billed, the customer discovers they are paying far more than the amounts promised & finds they are being billed additional fees for services not made aware to them during the sales pitch. If the customer calls to refute the additional charges, Comcast will generally make lame excuses or try to circumvent the issue temporarily rather than correcting it so the problem never really goes away. e.g. I have been told: "It's not possible such a deal was offered to you. It's not our policy to offer such deals" & I replied: "Nonetheless, such a deal WAS offered to me by a member of your sales staff & as a result of that conversation I signed up for service. I was told I would be billed x amount, that that rate would be locked in. My bill does not reflect what I was promised."
And then I heard: "You must have misunderstood the information you were being told" & I replied, "That's not possible since I recorded everything the sales rep said on my computer during our conversation. If you doubt my word, pull up the recording you took for quality assurance purposes during that conversation which occurred ** date & time for proof of what was offered & the agreed upon deal/pricing." "Oh no, we can't do that" Then I heard: "Whoever told you that was mistaken. They should not have offered you that deal". "Ok" I said, "then what will be done to rectify this situation?" "There's nothing we can do, you must pay the price in your bill or face having it go to collections" "I can give you ____ (fill in the blank with some off-the-wall small temporary perk or discount like $5 of your modem rental for a month.)"
I believe they employ these practices intentionally hoping the customer will give up out of frustration over time & just pay whatever is billed them regardless of accuracy in order to save hours of time haggling on the phone with uninformed cust. service reps who continually fail to resolve the issues long term. The biggest complaint I have with Comcast comes down to ethics about the way they conduct business & interact with their customers. If I were a business owner & had in my employ a sales staff & one day a customer called to check the price of a product & was inaccurately told it sold for roughly half the price it should be resulting in a sale. Then the customer is sent a bill for the full price of the item. After receiving the bill the customer calls & says "I was told I would be paying ** for this product so I bought it but I'm being billed for much more."
If this happened to me, I would question the employee about the price he quoted the customer for the product & if he did indeed offer it at a price lower than the sales price I would hold my employee responsible for the error, or myself responsible for not training the employee properly, but what I would NOT do is hold the customer responsible nor expect him to pay full price for the item as a result of our mistake. I would absorb the cost of the mistake my company made & give the product to the customer at the price they were quoted. But not Comcast, they expect the customer to pay for their mistakes & misdealings with customers & unfairly punish customers monetarily for believing the disingenuous promises they make. In my opinion this is unethical, fraudulent, criminal business practice. Goodbye Comcast.

I recently moved to a new address so I needed to set up internet and TV. The two monopolies own the lines to the house so I had few options: either Comcast Xfinity or Verizon FiOS. I did my research and elected to go with Comcast for their product as well as the fact that the previous homeowners used their service. As I'm told, the house is already wired for it. It took two weeks calling local and national service representatives to take my order and open an account. The first representative presented me with several packages. I wanted to consult with my wife before committing and he wanted to earn my business so he gave me a personal email address to contact when we reached a decision. He never responded to that email. I gave a second email and allowed a two-day grace period with no response. The next representative I spoke with had me on hold for an hour due to "heavy volume" that day.
He arranged the same package, created an account for me, and said I would receive a call from Comcast to schedule installation. No follow through. More days passed and I never received a callback so I initiated a follow-up. The third representative I spoke with said that an account was never created for me and no order ever went out. I tried a third time to arrange service and she tried to offer me the same package at a higher rate. Naturally, I refused. A fourth representative finally carried through on the basic task of taking my order and creating an account. She said that I did not need a tech to come to the house since a previous owner had subscribed to Comcast. In fact, she could waive the installation fee so long as I could drive two towns over to the local Comcast distribution/customer support center to pick up my self-install kit. Great! Worth the savings.
I did that, but when I followed the instruction manual my modem would not go online. Tried every outlet in the house, spoke with three technical support agents, and went through troubleshooting for nearly three hours. After assuring me that my house had active service and it must be faulty equipment, nobody could solve the problem. They finally agreed to send a technician to the house but couldn't schedule an appointment for a week, which pushed me to 3 1/2 weeks in a new home without service. I went back to the local distribution/customer support center and requested an earlier appointment. Despite having more than a dozen vehicles in their lot and uniformed men outside their door, they insisted that they could not schedule an appointment from their offices. They reinforced the notion that service at my address was never disconnected and therefore still active at my house, insisting that it must be a bad modem.
Their solution was to try to sell me on a new modem, which I refused, since all the troubleshooting over the phone suggested that the device itself was working properly. Called the national customer service hotline again and FINALLY had a capable representative who immediately looked at his records and told me that my service was NOT active and needed to be connected at the "tap." He arranged an earlier appointment time, but still has me waiting for several days and without internet for a total of 3 weeks.
My business has suffered, my wedding plans have been stalled, my reputation with prospective employers has suffered, and I have had to find alternative, inconvenient ways to pay some of my bills. Three weeks of incompetence, misinformation, lack of follow through, and shady salesmen leads me to give Comcast an angry, dismal review. I hope their product turns out better than their customer service and technical support... when I'm finally connected.

I switch from Verizon to Comcast trying to save some money and it was a huge mistake. First they offered me a deal of $120.00 for Internet and cable. The first month came up for around $250.00 which they explained it was because the first bill was usually more. The second bill was around the same amount. Then on top of that the Internet never worked and they offered me to pay $12.00 more monthly for a boost to have my service working. My next billed was for $460.00. I called and their answer was that I was a month behind because they charge a month as a deposit. I asked when was my bill going to be what they promised and their answer was that there was no way they would tell me exactly how much my bill would be. Then on top of that he added that "cable was not a necessity." That if I wanted to have cable I had to pay my bill. The guy was very disrespectful and basically told they didn't care if I had service with them or not.
I paid my bill and for my surprise my next bill was 189.00. I called to disconnect the service and the lady offered me a lower rate if I chose the bundle with the three services. What she didn't explain was that for the $92 she offered me was only for local channels and the regular internet which is very slow. The next day I got an email saying my first bill would be 260.00 because they were charging me installation and a whole bunch of other things. I called and the answer was that I was no longer a new customer so the price she gave was change. This is the biggest scam I've ever heard.
I finally made the decision to close my account and guess what the next day they contacted me. I Thought they were calling me to apologize or ask me why I have decided to to cancel my service but the guy was only calling to let me know they calculated the final bill and he wanted to collect payment over the phone. I've never seen a company like this. I don't understand how they get to do business legally by scaling and stealing money. I hope someone can finally do something about to stop them. Please think twice before making this big mistake because you will regret it!

I signed up via the internet on 11/7/2014 for the Double Play. I have my sales contract. It was to include internet (105 mbps) and Cable with HBO and Starz for 1 yr at 99.99 per month. With devices and taxes it came to 132.98. When a technician finally arrived to install, he had no ID, immediately called his supervisor and spent an hour on the phone before telling me he was unable to install because the wrong work order had been printed. I called sales with the tech there and he still refused to install. I spent literally 19 hrs on the phone with various Comcast personnel over the next week to get services. I was made promises to right the actions of the technician and the delay in connecting my services.
Finally, on 11/17/2014, another tech arrived to install. Again, a phone call placed about my install. All install fees had been waived during the numerous phone calls. The technician realized there was no Comcast line to my house. As an IT professional, I ended up assisting in the install to facilitate the process. Installing the gateway and the X1 box myself as well as the set top boxes. I finally could turn on a TV and see something. But temporarily. The line was bad and had to be replaced.
I had no user name or password to access Comcast for billing information. I make regular automatic payments via my bank every month. I was charged (double-charged actually) for installation, totaling 261.00. Who charges that for an install when they basically did more time talking on the phone while the customer installs themselves? Every month I am charged a late fee because Comcast does not post my payments for 10-14 days after electronic transmission from my bank. I have never received the services I contracted for in my sales agreement. When calling, all I hear is pay more and more.
Last month they cut off my services despite receiving over 300.00 in payments from me, which incidentally did not post until the day after I was forced to make an additional payment to restore services. I pay my contracted amount every month, Comcast delays posting every month, generating additional income in the form of late fees. Calling Customer Services always takes me out of the country with the same rehearsed speech.
I have filed a complaint with the FCC, my local government and here. Oh, and they converted my no commitment sales contract into a 24-month commitment due to POLICY changes. Their business practices are short of legal. If you have any other option available to you for internet and cable, please use them. Comcast is the worst nightmare of a company I have ever dealt with in my adult life. To date, I have paid 1188.68 to Comcast over a period of 8 months, and today Customer Service still claims I have a past due balance with them. As I have never seen a bill, nor been able to login to access this bill, I have no idea what they are billing me for. But it certainly is not the amount stated on the contract, nor do I get those services stated on the contract.

We contracted COMCAST for cable/internet/phone for our summer home on LBI, NJ in mid-May. A temporary cable line was run from the telephone pole to the house, and I was told a team would come in 2-3 weeks to bury it. As of today, July 16th, I still have the wire above ground. We have been calling customer service for 2 months now, who give us a lot of promises, but no resolutions. The tree work that we needed done had to be rescheduled, and we have renters due in the house in 1 1/2 weeks.
I have spent countless hours on the phone looking for resolution -- we get "tickets" generated and then they enter the COMCAST black hole. I finally called corporate today. Now I have a "corporate ticket." Hope this ticket can bypass that black hole. COMCAST has certainly earned its awful ratings. I figured with the new management that they were going to remake themselves and I gave them a shot. I wish that I didn't.

I ordered the X1 package online then had it tweaked over the phone after speaking with one of the Comcast CSRs. It was installed 6/12/15. The installation was seamless and the tech was awesome. I was not given any paperwork other than a remote instruction manual. I read it. I still had questions about my service. Call #1 was at 11:15P EDT. I spoke with a man who couldn't find my account and transferred me to a "X1" support rep. This was a female. After about 5 minutes of authentication and trying to find who I was, she was able to answer some questions. She kept placing me on hold or something, not sure if she was in training. Doesn't matter... after about 5 minutes of questions the line went silent. I stayed on for a few minutes and dead air... nothing. It disconnected after about 3 minutes of this. Call duration was 20 minutes.
I called back at 11:36P EDT. This time I somehow routed my way to being on hold. Music playing. I sat on hold for 15 minutes according to my call log. Call DISCONNECTED and I never spoke with a human. I called back for the third time and they were closed. Once this happened, I did some research online on the best way to get assistance. I searched Google for 'Email Addresses For Comcast Executives' and found a list of email addresses on Consumerist.com.
I then proceeded to file a BBB complaint. Once the complaint was filed, I referenced the number in a scathing email to the executives and sent it out. Their executive relations team contacted me and the tech manager for my area showed up at my door the very next day with his contact info and cell number on the back of his card. The ONLY thing these conglomerates understand are complaints lodged with third parties (BBB, FCC, Attorney General in your state) and when their executives are emailed directly.

Since the inception of my services my billing and/or package charge was incorrect. I spent the next two years chasing the billing department at Comcast in order to get the credits and billing correct. Every time they would correct the package that they did not bill correctly for they would also charge a service fee to the bill for their error. Then you would have to call to have the service fee removed which could then generate another service fee. Then they would offer additional free services (additional movie channel for three months) to "apologize" for their errors. However when the "promotion" would revert back, they would then screw up the package price and AGAIN charge the incorrect amount and another service fee. As my package was ending I negotiated for a different package to start when that package ended which was the 30th of the month.
When the next bill was issued (prior to the actual ending of the current package) and it was incorrect too, I knew this was just going to be more of the same so I cancelled service on the actual date my contract ended and returned the equipment that next day. They should have refunded a small amount of money as my first contract ran through 30th of the month prior to any changes and the new contract did not begin until the 1st of the month. I had to call to speak with them three times regarding the refund and was assured three times that the refund was being sent within 6-8 weeks. After 8 weeks I am now being told that I am not being issued a refund as they changed the package on the 27th of the month and therefore I was not due a refund. It doesn't matter what the dollar amount is with Comcast, they are horrendous at billing and making good on their promises.

I received a call from Comcast last week stating that my 12 month subscription was about to expire, and offering me a new promotional 12 month subscription. I asked if I could have some time to think over the offer, and was told that I needed to make a decision immediately. The offer was decent, and not too much more expensive, so thinking I didn't have many other options, I agreed. I was thinking about the whole thing a couple of days later and realized that it didn't seem like it had been 12 months since I had gotten Comcast. I looked into it and it had only been 8 months.
I called Comcast and after being transferred to 3 different people got to someone who could "help". I asked if I could finish out the remainder of my previous subscription and was told that since I had agreed to the new one, I couldn't go back. I explained again that the sales rep had misspoken when she said my subscription was expiring (which was the only reason I agreed to switch), and that I'd like to finish out my previous subscription.
I was told that I should be happy with the new subscription that I was getting, as it offered me more cable options (note: I was an internet only customer, so the cable was not important to me, it just happened to be part of the bundle). I was basically told "too little, too late" (not in those exact words, but the tone was less than polite). I then asked to cancel my service, which was surprisingly met with a response of "Okay, as of when do you want to cancel?" I told her I wanted to cancel immediately, and she said that wouldn't be a problem.
I feel as though Comcast was less than honest in their dealings with me, and also less than courteous/polite. I was shocked at how willing they were to lose a customer, especially with how they've been promising to improve their customer relations. I have had nothing but bad experiences with Comcast and will not be a customer of theirs again in the near future.

This concerns the visit to the office today to return unneeded equipment since the person who wanted cable TV no longer lives here. There was no waiting time though I was told it is busier some days. April accepted the equipment. When I showed her the screen shot of an internet only special that the phone rep could not find or offer me, she tracked it down and not only found it but found one better and explained it to me. The experience of a few months back of returning their rented modem was equally painless and pleasant. If I could give more stars to this local Comcast office, and April in particular, I would.

They stated "No you can transfer the account over to the new renters." They stated they would send a form. The form never arrived so the new renters called Comcast in my presence and they stated that they didn't do that. Then they stated that they would have to start a new account and have someone come to the house to install. The next available day was a week away. I agreed to pay for that week. The Comcast installer came and brought the new equipment on June 13. I received a bill through the 21. The new renters got a bill from the 13th so I am paying for a week that they also are paying for.
When I called up they told me that when I cancelled I had to pay for three weeks regardless of whether the other renter was paying also. Does this make any sense? The Comcast installer took away the equipment I was using on the 13th so how can they charge me for 8 days when I didn't live there and my equipment had been returned and then charge the new renter for the same 8 days?

I was notified via a computer-generated email. Later that day and upon arriving home, I discovered that there were problems with my ENTIRE "X1" system. I had pixelation problems with a number of channels, my smart TV was suddenly not so smart (loss connectivity), no wi-fi. And the telephone? Well suffice it to say I'm happy that I had cellular service. Contacted Customer Service and ran through the entire reboot, restart, etc. at the request of (1) the representative and then (2) a technician from the X1 department. All of this was done but to no avail.
I sent a letter to the executive offices and this is the response that I received: "Hello Mr. **, Thank you for contacting Comcast Executive Office with your concern. I look forward to speaking with you about this. Please let me know when I could reach you via telephone to discuss resolution for this concern. Please feel free to contact me at 1-888-966-7794 ext. **." Well they certainly sent someone out (actually 2 people) who did absolutely nothing but switch equipment and inform me that the problem was "back at the office" and they would have to reset the system. Well, that was a couple of weeks ago and I am no closer to resolving many of my issues than when they began. I have not heard back from the Executive Offices though I have sent 2 emails and placed a number of calls to the rep that sent the initial email response to my complaint.
Here is the last email that I sent: "Annette: I intentionally waited this long to see if a return call from you or this office would be forthcoming. Obviously one was not. I am truly disappointed by the silence from this office and it only serves as an indication as to the type of customer service is passed along to subordinate CS personnel within this organization. This issues with WI-FI connectivity remain unchanged. Your service personnel swapped the router and was able to get my home security system back online; however, I still do not have connection from either my smartphone or television. This means that I am unable to stream music or movies through my regular providers (i.e. Netflix, Pandora, ROKA television, etc.) and this is frustrating to me.
I spent approximately 2.5 hours with my cellular provider (T-Mobile) who assures me that the problems being experienced with WI-FI connectivity on my phone is a problem within your system. The error codes provided on the television appear to be known to your service technicians. In order for me to move forward, this must be fixed. I am unwilling to continue to pay for services that I am not receiving and this include WI-FI. The "snow" or poor signal on select channel remain a problem; however, it has been reduced to USA and A&E. This is reflected in the recordings of programs on those channels. Since I am recording them to my DVR, it would seem obvious that Comcast has the ability to look closer at this problem.
I paid my previous bill in good faith believing that this office would correct the problems. You have not. I will not pay another bill until the problem has been corrected or Comcast terminates my 2 year contract/agreement; releasing me from any further obligations. I have decided to retain an attorney to review my present contract in correlations to the service that I am being provided. I am doing so to better understand my options in this matter. Please do not view my actions as a threat of any sort. As I previously explained to you (as well as others) I am big on "customer service" and this is what is lacking in our communications. Please be advised that I will not continue to remain silent on these issues. If necessary, I will forward my complaint to the President of Comcast; as well as posting on the various blog sites relating to service issues and Comcast.
I will give you until the close of business on Friday, July 10th 2015 to contact me and resolve these issues. If I do not hear from you (or another member from this office) by that time, I will conclude that Comcast has effectively decided to ignore the terms of their service commitment to me and my account and I will take the appropriate action. The decision, whatever it may be, is clearly yours." I finish by saying that I think that it's time people consider coming together and seeking counsel from an attorney willing to take on NBC, Comcast and its affiliates. We are paying too much for services that are often less than what they promised or is implied. Just my 2 cents.

I manage IT for a non-profit. We have multiple business and residential accounts. Working with the business side isn't as bad, as you have a rep you communicate with directly. On the residential side, though, it's sometimes a complete disaster just doing basic things, like getting service installed at a house. They either don't call back to schedule installation, or they schedule it on their own and show up when nobody is there (just happened yesterday). Sometimes they'll call me before they get to an appointment so I have time to meet them, sometimes they don't, then they wonder why nobody answers the door.
Furthermore, trying to move existing service from one address to another is nearly impossible. I'd rather bang my head against a wall repeatedly than deal with this company. WORST company I've EVER dealt with, and dealing with Comcast is by FAR the worst part of my job. I deal with so many different vendors and service providers. Comcast makes companies like AT&T look like saints.
COMCAST: When you have to have a ticket system at your customer service locations in order to serve customers (like the BMV) because you have so many people coming in, maybe that tells you something. The last time I was in there (about a week ago), one woman was literally in tears because of some issue getting a credit on her account. The rep was stone faced and cold. Another guy comes to drop off equipment and bypasses the ticket system and drops the equipment on the counter. He and the rep argue for a couple seconds and he storms out with the rep yelling that he will charge him for the equipment. Obviously the customer was in the wrong, but the rep did not help the situation in any way. You just feel like you're stepping into a hostile environment coming in there.

I have service, if you can call it that, for approximately 2 weeks and in that time I have placed no less than 27 phone calls taking up so much time minute wise that has amounted to 21 hours of talk/wait time and STILL the issues continue. How did this all begin you ask? Well in a far away kingdom called Chicago a fair and lovely Jewish American Princess ordered internet only service. The first evil stepsister told the lovely Ann (that would be me) to purchase my own modem rather than rent from the evil empire known as Comcast or Xfinity. As it turned the modem was the wrong one so paid for shipping to and from and a restocking fee. The second time around was a repeat performance and then I followed the advice of the technician and guess what?? Give up? That was also wrong so the fair Ann incurred something in the neighborhood of $100 in all the aforementioned fees.
After strenuously defending my position I cut a deal whereby I would get 12 months of the company modem for no fee Which is fine well and good, however in my small 500 square foot flat I can only get service in the room in which the modem resides. Again I received 2 months of credit, bit free or not what good is half assed nonexistent service? I thought AT&T was bad and you can read my review for them on this site. It seems I might I have to find the lesser of the two evils. Oh and by the way I do not have cable, instead I purchased the Amazon Fire Stick. It plugs into my television which is less than five feet from my modem and still service is constantly interrupted. I have been trying to watch a documentary about the Hundred Years War. I feel that I have begun to re-enact that event in real time or should I say reel time.

Comcast customer service of the worst... they are lack of training information. I was told that I could easily move my service from one city to the next however I tried that and then still needed to run my social security number so each time you set up service they need to run your social security number.

On June 6, 2015 I upgraded our cable tv service after receiving an offer that would increase our base bill by $20. I should have known, because the last time I did this, it took over a week for the service to actually go into effect. But, that's another complaint. When I received the bill, which I did expect to be a little higher, it was nearly $100 higher. This was a prorated amount and it was still ridiculous. I called and spoke to a "customer service executive" (seriously???) in the billing dept. who transferred me to some dept. She looked over the bill and noticed that there were 5 cable boxes being billed - we have 3.
She noticed other things wrong with the bill and said she would have to have it reviewed and would call me back the following morning at 9am. I explained that I was skeptical that I would receive a callback and she assured me that she would. I never heard from her. I then called again and spoke to someone in the loyalty dept. in Colo. Springs named Karina. Even though they give you their names, it's impossible to track them down. They were going to charge a $220 cancellation fee for going back down to our previous service because it was past the 30 day refusal date, because I had been trying to get someone to help me and no one would.
We have been Comcast customers for 11 years and I told her that she needs to delete the cancellation fee. She said that was impossible because it was already in the "system". I told her that was not acceptable and I requested to speak to a supervisor. There were none available, but I could request a callback. Well, I've been down that road before and refused and I wanted this resolved at that time. I was put on hold and lo and behold a "manager" appeared and told her they could credit my account in the amount of the $220 cancellation fee. I asked that the current bill I have be corrected to reflect the number of cable boxes, etc. She "assured" me that it would be taken care of. I requested an email spelling out all of this and she again "assured" me she would do that. Dumb me. I've not received an email and my bill online still shows the incorrect amount due.
I called this am - AGAIN and was told that it has been revised and service has been changed to our previous level and the cancellation fee has not been charged. I asked to receive an email showing this, but was told I would receive a revised bill in the mail showing the correct amount and our new monthly amount. I'm not holding my breath. This company has the WORST service and they just don't care. No one that I have dealt with seems to care about doing their job (a problem in most customer service positions these days). I will do everything to figure out an alternative to Comcast.

First incident happened in April 2015. My first service package expired. I renewed my package by choosing a more inexpensive package with a 2 yr contract. I am on a fixed income, I was trying to stay within my budget. Comcast charged me not for the package I choose 109.00 mo, but for the package they chose that cost 215.00 mo and charged me 30.00 returned check fee for a check I had on file, that they never presented to the bank. I contacted Comcast and the rep admitted the check never was presented after I stated, I can get proof from my bank. Therefore I told them to send the check to the bank for payment. When I received my bill the next month showing credits, they did credit back the 30.00 return check fee, received their payment from the bank as agreed, but the charges and credits were so crazy. I do not know if the credit and charges are accurate. "Life goes on".
Now let's go a little further. I set up a postdated check with Comcast on 6/17/15 for 6/27/15. Their policy is "if you have a check on file for the past due amount, your service will not be interrupted". Well I return home on 6/25/2015 service interrupted. I immediately call Comcast. The rep stated he do not know why they disconnected my service, because he do notice a check on file. Rep apologized and reconnected service. I advised the rep, "I would like to cancel the postdated check and do a debit transaction, in order to prevent anymore issue with Comcast or my service." He transferred the call.
I explained the situation again. The rep took the debit card payment with the understanding that the check will be deleted. I stated "If I give you these funds now, make sure you do not sent that check to the bank, because the funds will not be available, because I'm releasing those funds to you now". The rep assured me the check will be cancelled. My ex-spouse was on the three-way with us. He ID himself and gave her the credit card information. He asked the same question, the check on file will be cancelled. Rep replied again yes. I received confirmation for payment and terminated the call.
I called back on the 6/27/15 to make sure check did not go to the bank. Rep said there is no check on file. All is good. I checked with my bank all is good. I thought this was the end of it. I make a deposit with my bank on 7/6/15, I return home to find a NSF reminder in the mail. I pull my bank account up online and noticed the bank retrieved funds from my deposit for the amount of the check plus a NSF fee. I immediately call Comcast advised them of the situation and they gave me the run around from dept-dept. I was hung up on, on several occasion. I actually stayed on the phone about 3hrs trying to resolve this situation. The reps was of no help, requested a manager was told there's no managers on the floor, they would have a manager to call me back. (A call back I never received.) Was also told that they do not have a resolution dept to assist customers.
Therefore I log into "My account" on the Xfinity website. Rep are actually techs, but were able to get them to transfer me to billing and customer service. I received the same crap. Was on chat for about 2hrs. Continuously repeating my situation. Finally, the next day I go to the local office here. The Manager there was no help she said for me to call billing or regional collections. I advised her I tried all of that. I asked what is my recourse from this point. She continued to say there's nothing she can do and I need to call billing. At which time, I asked her for Corp office phone number. I did receive the phone number.
Once I returned home I called corp immediately, which is Comcast Executive Customer Relations Dept. I explained my situation, I was told that once you put a check on file, it cannot be deleted nor cancelled. I explained to the rep, "if that's the case then the rep should have never took my payment with the understanding those funds would not be available if I give her a payment now" (which made that check null and void) and the rep stated verbally she understood and that check will be cancelled. I could have left the arrangements as is. It would not have made sense for me to give her that payment, if I was told the check would not be cancelled. Rep said he would get back with me.
I did receive a call later as agreed, I was told the only thing they could do was credit me bank the NSF fee to my bill, I said that's not acceptable, because it has caused a domino effect to my bank account, defamed my character with my bank, because I do not have NSF on my account. Comcast reps have misled, misinformed, gave me erroneous information and went into my account unauthorized. Not to mention the mental anguish and wasted time. This has actually caused me issues with other creditors and overdraft fees, because it was too late to cancel other postdates and debit transactions.
Remember I'm on a fixed income. I have no way of paying these fees or charges to my bank. The bank will charge per day after, fees are not paid within a certain amount of time. Do this mean eventually my account will be closed and the bank will send collections after me and list it with the 3 credit bureau? This is a nightmare. Still waiting on last phone call from Customer Relations, if no resolution will go from there.

I called Comcast 6 months ago and agreed to their package Deal, 89.99 for the triple play; my bill was suppose to be after surcharges and taxes 118.00 every month but from the first day we received our bill it was 160.00, next month jumped to 190, then went down to 177, then jumped to 275, 201, and 245. We calculated our bill with corporate office and had 5 payments of total of 905.00. After figuring out that Comcast owes us a credit of 65.00 and admitted that the reason my bill was so high was because they put in a hd box and have been charging us for the last 6 months their services we didn't have and also for a dvr which we don't have. After all said and done they are saying we owe them 587.00 still and will not turn on my service until we pay a past due of 247.00.
When asked to speak to someone higher the lady said there is no one higher and it was pointless for me to try and speak to another higher than her; I then while on the phone with her called the corporate office and asked if I could speak to a higher person and they put in a request for my bills to be looked at properly but would take for another person to call me back 24 to 48 hrs later. I've been on the phone with them for 2 days now trying to get this situation worked out but still now have to wait a extra 48 hrs to get help. I don't work for Comcast. I shouldn't have to sit on a phone and try and fix my bill that they screwed up. My bill should be 0 as of right now they see it. They did the math but refuse to say they overcharged me and was their mistake. If you do the math it doesn't add up. Will update status after I get final results; it's ok to be wrong.
Everyone is human. Just fix the problem not looking for a handout or anything extra. I just don't want to be robbed and it seems at this point they think they can do this just put service in and tell you what you're going to get when you didn't ask for it nor ever used it.

I have been Comcast customer for 5 years since, and have been ok until I added home security service. I signed for a bundle package which looks pretty good after signing up. When my bill came it was not like what I signed up for. When I called they tell me different story. I was very upset and told them I don't want this service and would like to cancel. They told me if I cancel they will charge me $600 just for cancellation. So I continue with their service. Every month the bill goes higher and higher. I called them to explain to me, they said "oh it was a mistake" and they credited and the same thing happen again and again.
At last I spoke to one person. He change my bundle and gave me his promotional code and told me my bill will be $99. I got relieved thinking it will be. For one, two months the bill was ok. After that they started charging me again differently and my bill shoots up again. I have to call them for every billing cycle. Now they started billing me 3 bills in a month. On May 4 I paid $121.73, and they have charged May 31, $200.56, June 02, $200, 200.56, June 03, 201.64, June 25, $169.16, July 06, 201.64. Then they cut off my home security and said that I have a bill due June 29 $169.16 which they have already received on June 25.
Then I called to find out what happen. The customer rep I spoke to told me that "your service is pending for disconnection because of the overdue payment of June 29th." When I told her when the bill was paid and I told her I would like to speak to the supervisor she then transfer me to supervisor. I was put on hold for almost an hour still the supervisor never answer the phone then hung up the phone.
This is how Comcast Xfinity makes money from customer. This is ridiculous. I have never heard in my life for cancellation of service you have to pay $600.

I worked for Comcast for about 6 years. I also stood up for Comcast every time someone said they hate Comcast, I would say "you hate your monthly bill not actually Comcast". I had a great experience with Comcast while I worked there other than getting screwed out of disability pay when I had a Dr suggesting I take time off. This however was the old insurer's fault and not actually Comcast but still they should have stuck up for me. I also got screwed out of commission many times because of someone messing up an order just like my own order kept getting messed up below.
The reason why I am writing this is because of the experience I have had transferring my service. On June 18th at the service center I asked to discontinue June 21 and install July 18. Got home and service was discontinued (happened all the time I worked at Comcast because of poor training and System flaws). Called to activate service, hour later back on. Called the 22nd to make sure transfer was correct and I was told tech turned on service at new home, this is not right because I need a tech out July 18th to install because customer has had satellite service the last 3 years. Rep couldn't change because system had an error. Got disconnected. Called next day and order was put back in for transfer and again no install but active service 18 days too early. Said "please cancel", they said "it's done".
Called in again few days later and another order for transfer was in the system. I got frustrated and said "cancel everything". They said "ok no problem". Week later called and once again I have active service on another order to transfer. I asked to speak with supervisor 10 times and wouldn't allow me then she said "I can't make changes because I can only pick up equipment." This is after I have called in to make changes 10 times for this transfer and the other times before this transfer. I got so frustrated and hung up. Finally today I was able to remedy this problem (I hope).
So the many people that say I hate Comcast is because of the constant screw ups that are caused by reps that want commission, don't want to lose commission, and just don't want to help if they don't make a dollar. Comcast's customer service will forever be flawed by this system and culture of reps. I spent 10 phone calls and 8-10 hours on a transfer that should have taken 15-30 minutes. I cancelled service and will not stick up for you anymore.

Lesson learned: There is no Emergency Phone Number for hanging cable lines in the street. When you phone with an Emergency, you are not transferred to an Emergency Department. The nice Sales Lady told me there was not an Emergency Department. To her credit, she recorded my complaint and did give me a ticket number. I'm at least the third person to phone Comcast for help.
I recommend not getting involved with Comcast as they don't take responsibility for their own lines. Last year, one of their lines fell at my house. My neighbor and I phoned them repeatedly and nothing was done for more than 3 months. The only reason the line was finally removed is a Supervisor happened to be working my street one day, my friend saw him, explained the situation and the Supervisor removed it. It should not take more than 3 months for Comcast to remove a line hanging down into the street from a telephone pole.
Monday, June 29, 2015 another line fell and is hanging from two telephone poles. One pole is on Bentbrook Drive, the other is on Lakeside Drive. Both the Power Company and AT&T tell us the line belongs to Comcast. Two neighbors reported this down line and nothing has been done. I called today and am waiting to see if anything is done. This second occurrence of a Cable line hanging. It's been 6 days with no response to the previous multiple requests for help. A situation like this should be resolved within a few hours at the most, not months or days. They can process someone's payment in seconds, but refuse to take care of their own equipment for extended periods of time.

He said I would receive a call within 2 hours and took my cell number. No call back came, but when I returned home, I had 4 missed calls on my home number from Comcast.
I called again today. The rep said that I would not have received a call back and that those 4 calls were related to another matter, but she didn't know what it was.

As a Comcast customer for internet service, which I have no complaints to date, I decided to change from DirecTV to Xfinity cable. They had an attractive bundle pricing that included cable and decided to take advantage although I had a bad experience years back with their cable service. Installation day however resurfaced past bad experiences. Although my house is pre-wired, my choice was to move their internet wireless modem to one end of the house - the signal is weak as well as expose wires throughout the rooms. Otherwise they would have to run additional wires in the attic at an additional $100 per line to change the current modem wiring they had installed. In the end the installation cost far outweighed the savings from the bundle. Finally when I asked the technician to remove the outside wire he had installed, he left over 20 U nails all over my yard.

When a promotion ran out in March, I got a different service package because it would be cheaper than just having the Internet and now instead of just the internet, I have cable as well. I didn't want cable, I told them I didn't even want them to send me the box, but they said it was really my only option and now the cable box is happily in my closet where I never look at it. So my building is old and apparently the Comcast boxes here are old as well and don't work as well as they should. As a result my internet is down intermittently. I didn't have the internet for the entire month of June.
Today the service technician from Comcast came and fixed it. However, when I called Comcast to be reimbursed for the time I spent without the internet, they stated I could only be reimbursed for the internet portion of the bill that I was paying. So my bill is currently 54 dollars a month and they reimbursed me 27 because I did not have the Internet. But they will not give me the other 27 dollars because that is for the cable that I never wanted and never use. So last month I ended up spending 27 dollars for literally nothing. Up until now, I have had no problems with Comcast. I think they're shady as hell with their bundling practices and promotions, but necessary evils and all that. So here you are Comcast, for the low, low price of $27, you get yet another negative review on the Internet. I suppose at this point, you're using them to wallpaper your offices.

Explained to MORON, that several people had told me otherwise. Call did not go well. We "lost" connection. I called back, spoke to lady who told me about my appointment on Friday between 8-12 noon... news to me. She wanted to "help me" by having me reboot, unplug plug you know the drill. I explained I had done this on several occasions. I told the lady Comcast is a complete farce. Called Corporate Customer service. Expect no joy. So right now investigating options with Directv (consumer reports doesn't show them much better) and U-Verse (even worse). Isn't there a cheap Chinese Company we can sign up for??????

So, before I made an account with Comcast, my roommate had one, but he was using my original Comcast wireless modem/Router but from Amazon more than a year ago. Router perfectly fine. He had to move out, so he cancel his and I open my own account. After I opened mine I couldn't set up the TV but the internet was working fine, even though we had some trouble after a couple of days. So I called them, and they said that I'm not the only one in the area having problems, and it's a server a so, so they have technicians in the area to fix it.
So next day was up, I assumed they fix it, but next day was off again. My TV didn't work since day one... So I was about to cancel it, but one customer service representative convince me to let their technicians to come by my house and set everything right. So they came a few days after, when my internet was up again, and was up in the past days. They fixed the TV, and check the internet, which was fine. I was navigating with my laptop at the same time. But the technician decides to swap my router with theirs free of charge he said, so they can register online with the right upc code. So I was fine.
Now Comcast charges me 10$ a month for the router after they got mine... I talked with them for 1 hour and 30 minutes, even with a supervisor and they would keep repeating same things and sending me to buy another router or continue paying for theirs. I told them that wasn't me, who mistaken, if I would've knew, I would had my own router which was just fine, and won't accept theirs, but I took because the technician said it's free of charge, that's why I even allow him to take mine. I saw it as an exchange. Now I lost a router that I paid for a year ago, and pay for the "rented" one they gave me. Long story short... nobody cares about my loss, and they won't fix anything for me...

I work for a manufactured home developer and was asked to contact Comcast to have an existing underground cable line lowered just several inches to allow for installation of a drainage line. Every day for six working days in a row I was promised someone would be there to look at the problem but no show, and no call. One day I was told someone would be there by 6 pm. I waited in the rain. No show no call. I was transferred, hung up on, told I need to stop talking and answer their questions first before I could speak with a supervisor, transferred to India or Pakistan and told to be patient by someone twelve thousand miles away. I have to say that I swear on my children's heads and everything holy that the truth is, in my younger days I have gotten better customer service from my drug dealer.

I don't use Comcast's Cable TV services because of the constant problems, but have had good wireless internet connectivity until a few weeks ago. Endless menus and waits to speak with customer support people who then follow long troubleshooting protocols that had tried many times, ultimately ending in transfer to wireless support. Although usually these people are usually neutral-to-pleasant, and I've been speaking with tech support people for roughly 18 years without problems, I got a hold of an obnoxious, patronizing, offensive wireless tech support person today. Of course, Comcast pays a lot of lip service to wanting to provide customer support, but it took another half-hour to get through their phone system again and to be connected with a series of supervisors simply to report this kind of treatment. Comcast is a massive monopoly and it appears that if we want service, this is what we can expect to have to deal with.

If you are in need of cable, internet, ext. DO NOT USE COMCAST. I signed up for internet, home phone, and cable through them in March for what was suppose to be 126.99 a month with 4 installation fees of 15.99 added on for the first 4 months. I have now paid over 800$ in 2 months and I have a 700$ bill sitting in front of me and my TV is now turned off because I have not made the payment. So I tried to call them to get them to adjust payments and they said they had no specials running for that price and basically told me I'm wrong.
They have no notes. They have nothing. I have spent 10 hours over the last week or so trying to get this figured out and they still have done nothing to adjust payments. Not to mention it took 3 hours just to get through to someone to speak with before they transferred me over to a supervisor and got disconnected. Rated #1 worst customer service and I can't wait for them to come pick up their crap! They absolutely suck and I would not take the time out of my day to sign up for this and write a review about how horrible they are unless they deserve it which they do. Do not use Comcast!!!

After about 7 phone calls speaking to different people, 2 supervisors, and 1 manager I still cannot get an exact date for a technician to come out to resolve the situation. I have been given nothing but the run around, and bad customer service!!! We had a scheduled visit on the 5th day from 5-7 and the technician never showed up. When I called at 7 to see if they were coming, the girl on the phone told me that the technician had contacted them and reported the problem resolved. They told me that he would be reported for his behavior, but could not give me another date and time when another tech would be out.
After another hour of being on the phone with customer service all they can tell me is that I have a new ticket that has been upgraded to emergency status and sent to the dispatcher. They told me to wait another 24-48 hours for another technician to call and give me a new time to come out. If they can't find a tech to take my ticket, it will be July 6!!!

In Late April, we moved from one side of town to the other. Because of this, I had our Comcast service (the triple play package) transferred from our old address to our new address. The representative I initially spoke to checked on the new address and said that the previous residents had Comcast and that everything should transfer over just fine, for the most part, everything went off without a hitch with one exception, our cable television never worked. From then all through May, we had been calling customer support, trying to sort out the problem with the service after 3 or four calls on several different occasions, the last representative told us that we should schedule for a service technician to come out.
When we tried to do that, we ran into a whole slew of issues: when I called and tried to explain my problem, the representative that I spoke to, didn't seem to know what I was talking about, so she proceeded to put me on hold for 20 minutes. Then I had to explain everything to another rep, who told me that their system was down and that she wouldn't be able to verify my information. I was sent to another department who I had to explain my situation to for a third time, and this woman insisted that the systems were down, but that she couldn't verify me as an authorized user on the account... just to list a couple of the MANY things wrong with this on top of her apathetic tone and uninterested responses - how exactly could I authorize a transfer of service without being verified on the account? By that logic, either someone at Comcast allowed an unauthorized user to move my service, or she's refusing to grant service to a paying customer.
I told her that if that was the case, then it sounded like the security of my member account was in jeopardy since any old person could access my account and start making changes to our service. And then I followed up with, "now, do you want to check the notes on my account to see if my verification is in there or do you want to give me someone that will fix my problem?". Stammering over her words, she transferred me to someone in member services(?) who was immediately rude to me, she told me that I wasn't a verified user on the account. I explained to her that I just had my service transferred from one address to another last month using my name and information, and that, the information was probably just never moved to the place she was looking, and that I was sure it was in the service notes.
She refused, and I explained to her the whole bit about the contradiction in not allowing me to set up a service visit, which I had done at the old address, but allowing me to transfer service, which would have to be somewhere in my service history. I would like to note, that I also had to ask this woman, very politely, to stop interrupting me while I was trying to speak, and from her voice, she was getting upset. She asked me if I'd like her to transfer me to another department, and I told her that I'd been transferred 3 times before and that I'd like her to solve my problem, to which she responded by hanging up on me. Now, I've been at this location, for a month+ and my at&t cell phone service is exemplary. No drops, no low signal, not even a buzz or a crackle. The call did not drop from my end. For a customer service representative to hang up on a customer because they won't move to another section of a file is unacceptable.
I know it's a no-brainer to get the information that they needed to verify my authorization because I asked them to check for it right where it was, and I know this because after cursing at my phone for 2 minutes, I called back, and explained my situation to another representative who calmly listened to my recounting, apologized for the OTHER people's mistake and then told me that she'd found my verification. I waited 25 seconds for her to do that. (I will say, that it was clear from her intonation and her speech pattern that she was an English speaking US national, and at the risk of being politically incorrect, my first representatives' inflections suggested that they were somewhere in the middle east or India. This, however does not excuse their treatment of me; if you're not going to do your job, you don't deserve to have it.)
I exclaimed that "that was fast", and asked her where she'd found it, she calmly replied, "oh, it was right here in the notes." This person not only went through some troubleshooting steps with me to verify my problem, she completely calmed me down and got me the service appointment I had initially called to schedule an hour+ before. While I didn't get the names of the people that I'd spoken to before, and as I understand, they wouldn't have been their real names anyway, upon request, I did get their service initials. They are as follows: ** for the first, ** (or "O", we weren't sure which) for the second, ** for the third (gonna leave that one alone) and ** for the fourth and last woman who hung up on me. The name of the Godsend who I got at the end was **, and her service initials are **.
I took the time to write this review in the hopes that someone at Comcast with some pull actually reads these and will do something about it because, seriously. FIRE those first four people. I NEVER want to have to deal with their likes again. I think it's a smudge on Comcast's reputation to even have people like that employed. They made me so upset and frustrated that I went out of my way to put in the extra effort to get the information to back up this post. I want them held responsible for their poor performance and treatment of their customers. And for a last piece of advice, please, please, promote ** so that she can do some good in your company, or at least give her a raise. I promise you, that I was willing to cancel my service and never return if that last call hadn't worked out. I'd had an offer for At&t internet in the mail 2 days before, and there's Dish equipment already installed at this place. ** really saved you guys our $90+/Month.

I cancelled my cable service about 8 months ago with no issues. I kept my internet service and just used the basic channels that I received by plugging directly into the wall. Several days ago the channels I was receiving were encrypted to prevent me from watching them anymore. I decided to get my Comcast television back. I never returned the cable boxes when I originally cancelled my service. I was told by several different customer help technicians that I could use those same cable boxes and everything would work properly. After the negotiations of price for the products and refinancing my house to pay for it, I purchased basic cable and internet. The customer help department sent out signals to the cable boxes that I had.
After several attempts I was still not receiving a signal. After talking to several different people (because I kept getting disconnected), I was told to go to the closest Comcast building and swap out the cable boxes. The first 9 people that I talked to were from some other country that spoke broken English and had a thick accent that I could not decipher. Once I was able to talk to an English speaking representative that knew more than what was written on a cue card, they explained to me that after so many months without use, the product becomes inactive and can't reactivate it. I drive to the closest Comcast building and explain what happened and they were very polite and helpful.
I came home to set up my equipment and hooked everything up as instructed. I called the number that was provided to activate my equipment. One of my cable boxes accepted the signal and began working right away. The other one was unsuccessful. I contacted customer help again which was short lived due to being disconnected again. Once again I contacted customer help to have the lady on the phone attempt to send another signal to the device. After the failed attempt she thought that she could send the signal again and fix it.
After several failed attempts of sending the same signal to the same device, she finally recommended I return to the local Comcast building and exchange this device for another one. I have had more hassle dealing with this company as a whole in the last 48 hours than I have with any other business over the course of 10 years. Most of the employees that you talk to on the phone don't know what they are talking about and can only read what’s on the cue cards in front of them and/or speak broken English with a thick accent that keeps you from understanding what they are trying to tell you.
I suggest stop contracting this service to people in the Philippines and use United States citizens that speak fluent English and have a working knowledge of the company. Take pride in your company and the people you hire. The majority of your employees do not have a clue on how to help you solve the problem that you have, no matter how simple it may be. So after paying 75$ a month for a service that only cost me 30$ four days ago, I am contemplating leaving this company as a whole and making sure that all the people that I know and come in contact with on a regular basis hear my side of the story in an attempt to open their eyes.

I was not aware I was in a promotional contract. Rep said NO when I ask if it was going to change. After a year it jumped 30 per month. When I called to fix it they acted as if they did me a favor and took me to 89.99 per month plus about 30-35 in random fees on top of that. Rep said he would prorate bill from the 109 it jumped to per month down to the 89.99. Well he never did that and my bill became past due (paperless bills and makes same payment each month via autopay) - my service was shut off. Automated system said 53 dollars was past due. I paid it immediately and assumed the rep wrote off all but this figure. Fine I was ok with that. Service was just turned off again 2 months later. They said 29 was past due --- ok??? So I paid it thinking I missed a movie I ordered or something. This was yesterday.
I go online to my account and it shows 134 past due. Ok!! I'm calling them. The first rep sounded as if he was napping and could barely form his words. He kept repeating himself about my account and just offered a premium channel for my inconvenience. I hung up and called back to tell the whole story again and that rep put me on hold and another rep picked up as if I was a new caller. I asked to please be sent back to the person I was just talking to. She transferred me to someone NEW again. So I tell the story to 3 different people and this 3rd rep would only repeat policy and tell me my past due amount. I said "Can you please look at notes where your coworker TOLD me he would adjust bill from where it jumped to 109 per month down to the new 89 per month." She said "Well he was not supposed to do that and he can't. I said "Well he DID tell me that so how can we fix it." She said "We can't."
I asked to speak to a supervisor and she was typing with her and ALL the supervisor said was "You have to submit disputes within 60 days... etc". I told them "This makes no sense that you can't help a customer fix what YOUR employee said he would do!!" Absolutely NO customer service at all from Comcast. They just said I need to pay the 134 past due when NO ONE could tell me why it was 134 past due when I paid the 53 dollars past due 2 months prior and they SAID that brought me current. So basically we have to pay whatever amount they put on there with NO explanation and NO help from the "customer service reps."
In my line of work you do what you can for the client. If someone gives them the wrong info we stand by what the person told the client and we FIX it. I am stuck in a contract and forced to pay a past due amount that NO ONE will tell me why?!?!?! I may just bit the bullet and pay the amount to take my service elsewhere. Comcast customer service is the worst. I guess they think because the Internet speed is faster than most that clients have to put up with script reading from reps and NO help!!!

First, I called 5 times and could not get anyone. I then tried their 'Request A Call Back' service twice. No call ever came. Finally, I tried again and got through on the 6th attempt. After getting a real person, I told her that I wanted to downgrade my service to minimum required to keep only my email addresses. The rep tried (and I counted them) to sell me an upgrade to my service 8 times. Even after I told her that I sold my house and didn't need their service anymore. She ignored my requests for a reduced package and continued to try and sell me an upgrade.
When that didn't work, she tried to get me to transfer their service to our new address numerous times. I told her that we already had a different service in place at the new location. And then after all of that, she still tried to get me to refer our relatives to Comcast.net. I found Comcast to be a very, very poor quality company with even worse customer service.

I don't appreciate being hung up on by a manager after being on the phone for over 6 hrs trying to fix a mistake one of the salespeople made on my account at the Jefferson park location last night. Last night, I went in to get all new boxes since every box I have has been giving me problems and to rent a router (Whatever I need for wireless internet) because the one I have is a bit slow. The bag I was given had 3 boxes. I just assumed they were the two for my tvs and the Internet box but when I went to install everything, I realized that third box was just wires, not the router thingy. I figured there was just a miscommunication but I then got a confirmation email that listed my monthly fee for the modem I never received.
Today I came home and seen that nothing was working so I called customer service. MY FIRST CALL: I talked with two girls who were pretty nice and explained to me that my service is going to a different apartment in my building.. Not mine! Somehow while switching my boxes out and forgetting to give me my router this lady also changed my apartment number. They said they changed it to the correct apartment and put me on hold while they were checking to make sure everything is working. THEN I got disconnected. Now they have my phone number, so why would they not call me back?!
SECOND CALL: I asked to be connected with the lady I originally talked to and was informed there was no way of doing that, so I went on and explained my whole situation again only to have the guy not understand. I asked to talk to a manager. Then got hung up on. THIRD CALL: I talked to ** who was super nice. She was not able to do anything. I then spoke with a manager named ** who was also super nice and understood the whole situation. According to her, she was able to fix everything. Everything was working fine.. for about 30min!
FOURTH CALL: I asked to speak with a manager several times but for some reason this lady seemed to think she could fix it all. After she realized she couldn't do anything and after wasting my time, she said she'll have a manager call me. FIFTH CALL: The manager called, I explain everything again. She informs me that everything is going to a different apartment and doesn't understand why I WOULD CHANGE MY APT NUMBER IF I DIDN'T MOVE. I had to explain to her that I haven't moved and have no plans on moving several times. She spends about 45min sending signals through to try and get my Internet to work but she's still not understand she's sending them to the wrong apartment. She says I have to deal with a different department tomorrow.
I asked since I have her on the phone "can we go over everything on my account just to at least make sure that's correct because who knows what else the lady last night may have messed up." So I'm telling her what I'm suppose to have. She ignores me and says to deals with the people tomorrow. I ask again about going over my account and she insists everything on her end is correct and there is no need to go over it. How do you know everything is correct if you don't even know what exactly I'm supposed to have??? Then she hangs up on me! What kind of business is this!? I'll definitely be switching service providers tomorrow!!

I am the landlord of a home in Concord, CA, and my tenants and I have received some of the WORST customer service from Comcast, from the start of their service to the end. My tenants moved in on 9/1/14. Of all of the service providers in our area, they chose Comcast as their cable provider. They called your sales department to request a technician to come out and install cable and internet service. The earliest appointment available to send out a technician during the week was over a week later. When the technician finally arrives to set up their services, he saw my home was wired for cable, he located the box on the exterior of the unit, yet he said he was unable to locate a live wire, or the main box where all of the wires within the unit are routing to/from. He was also unable to properly communicate to us why he cannot find live wires, and the steps we needed to take to get the cable and the internet turned on.
His quick fix response was to run wires along the exterior of the building, and to make another appointment. We make an appointment and request another technician, because your support center stated the wires in the unit are live and ready to turn on and we are not sure why the technician was not able to turn on the service. Three days later, the same technician arrives says the same thing and leaves. We make an appointment and request another technician. A new technician comes out on (9/15/14), and also cannot find a live wire, and tells my tenant in order to install cable in the unit, and to move along with the process your landlord needs to be here and needs to bring a signed letter of approval, so Comcast isn't liable for any damage to the property while trying to get the services turned on.
I move things around on my schedule and arrive for the next appointment (9/17/14) with the signed letter in hand, the technician then stated in order for them to start wiring the unit they need my HOAs approval. Now I have to go down to the property management office and request they drop everything their doing to draft up a letter of their own because my letter is not sufficient enough on its own.
Even though my home is not a part of a renter community where requests and complaints can be answered 24/7, I am proud of the level of service I am able to give my tenants, and it is my duty to make their experience in my home a pleasant one, especially since they are paying rent to be there. My tenants deserve the same level of service they're able to get at any apartment complex. As many times as I have rented out my unit, and dealt with other cable companies I have never heard of this issue, or had my time wasted just to have a technician come out on 4 separate occasions to NOT install the cable. The bad customer service given by the technician, and your support team, not only reflects poorly on you, it reflects poorly on me and my unit. This tedious debacle of a set up job, for something that should be so simple has pulled me away from work and other tenant requests.
Anyways, the technician did not want to bury the wires as I requested, he said that your company wouldn't do it, and that he could run the wires along the outside of my unit to get the service turned on. Since my tenants had been through enough and the technician assured me that the wires would not be visible I allowed for him to put the wires on the outside of my unit.
Fast forward 8 months later when I am actually able to get back to my unit to see the work that was done, I was very upset to see the awful job the technician did to get the cable & internet turned on. There are black screws and black wire all along the side of my cream colored house and my light brown front door. I would like to know why your technician wanted to run wires along the side of my house, instead of burying the wires as I requested, when you have a department that comes out to bury the wires? I called your customer service department on 5/18/15 to request a technician come out to remove the wires from the side of my house and to patch up the holes that will be left behind. Customer Service stated they would send a request to a local technician in Concord, Ca and that the technician would call me within a few hours.
I wait a day, and then on 5/20/15 I call back and talk to another customer service rep who says the same thing, someone will call me back, and she gives me a ticket number. I again wait a day to receive a phone call, and NO ONE calls me. On Friday 5/22/15 I call back. I request to speak to a supervisor, because maybe they can explain to me why no one is calling me back to handle my request, and they can then expedite my request, since I have been ignored for 5 days. 1) The rep wouldn't put a supervisor on the phone. 2) When I finally convinced them to put a supervisor on the phone, the supervisor was not helpful and he put me on a long hold. 3) When someone finally picked up the line again I had been transferred to SALES.
The first thing I ask is "What department are you in and did the supervisor explain to you why I am calling and why he transferred me to you?" The sales rep had no clue why I was transferred but still tried to help me. (** was a ROCKSTAR!!!) She was very competent, very helpful. She even called me back to give me my ticket number since her systems were down at the time I called. Even though my complaint was not 100% her department she opened up a new ticket on my behalf and made sure I was contacted to get this wire removed from my home.
Saturday 5/23/15 I received a call from someone who was going to help me. I was very excited, but the second I told this rep that I didn't care if Comcast buried the wires or removed them, they quickly said "Removing wires isn't our department. We would only be able to bury them." And she quickly transferred me back to customer service.
I was so frustrated I demanded again to speak to a supervisor, and again I wasn't given a supervisor. The rep on the phone took down all my info again, and put in another request under my same ticket# to have someone contact me. He claimed that someone would call me by the end of the day at the earliest and within 24 hours. I said "Are you sure, because it's Saturday and Monday is a holiday?" He said "Yes for sure someone will call you." It is Wednesday 5/27/15, and I have not received a phone call, or a missed phone call, an email, a voicemail NOTHING!
I am so frustrated and fed up with your so called customer service. This is ridiculous that you pay these people to LIE and MISLEAD your customers. They make a lot of claims and nothing comes from it. Is that really what you are paying them to do, just answer calls, and PRETEND they're doing something? Or is it your technician offices fault because they do not answer these requests in a timely manner? Whatever the issue is, you need it corrected ASAP. This is ridiculous that I have to waste my time calling, and pleading, and now complaining, about your customer service.
PLEASE CONTACT ME AND PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE COME OUT TO MY HOUSE AND REMOVE THOSE AWFUL WIRES from the side of my house. And I have decided that as of now none of my tenants are allowed to use Comcast in my unit. If this is the nonsense they have to deal with, and now I have to deal with. This is unnecessary stress because you pay so many people who don't want to do their jobs.
Update: Comcast decided not to help remove the wires or patch up the holes, so they passed me onto their insurance company, since they couldn't or refused to get anyone to come out to fix the work. Thanks for the extra hurdle to jump over comcast. I do not understand why anyone bothers with your company.

We have Comcast's Xfinity cable and high speed internet and for a while it was working fine. Then all at once the internet was insanely slow, and the cable TV service could not get a signal. We called and asked for a technician to come out, and they said it would be over a week. With me taking 3 online bi-term classes this is difficult. We decided to troubleshoot the issue ourselves while we waited and bought a cable, and bypassed different connection points on the line outside and inside, and found that the problem was with a 15 foot stretch of cable between 2 splitters. We told the technician where we found the problem in the cable line and asked for it to be replaced because that was the issue. He refused to replace the stretch of line and replaced a part of the line that was working properly instead.
We ran the cable diagnostic test after he left, and discovered that our signal strength was the exact same as before. Needless to say we are furious. We called back and explained our concern, and they said I would be another week before they could send anyone to check out the issue. 3 weeks later now no one has been back and the connection is still awful. The cable TV is spotty and loses connection, and the high speed internet is running slow, or is not even working at all. I am a semi-professional counterstrike player, and I had to explain to CEVO why my internet wasn't working and why our team was forfeiting the match so it wouldn't count against our record. Long story short, Comcast please get your crap together. There is a reason you are rated 1 of 5 stars. And that's because we can't rate you as a 0.

Comcast has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. Why does it take 20 minutes to schedule an appointment? Every time they come out to the house there is always an issue and it seems they have to reinstall an entire system every time they come. I pay over $250 per month for the worst service. Now they are saying they won't work on the system because there is a safety issue with the electrical system, but the electric company came out and verified there was nothing wrong. I am looking at alternatives.

This is my first time writing a review for any company but I feel compelled to in order to prevent unknowing customers from going through what I went through. I signed up with Comcast Feb 27th with a plan that would cost me $100 dollars a month (cable, phone, internet). My first bill was twice the amount $200. I called to inquiry about this and they told me they charged a month in advance. I didn't sweat it. My second bill (which should have been around 100 something dollars) was another 200 and plus dollars. I couldn't understand why my bill was twice the amount I had agreed to... The horrible customer service representatives kept telling me about fees that made absolutely no sense. They charged me for equipment packages that I never received or inquired about. They charged me for home visit to fix the internet disconnectivity issue, which I was told by a rep, would have been free.
By mid May, that month's bill was close to 300 dollars. So within less than 3 months... I accumulated a bill over 500 dollars... when the initially agreement was 100 plus a month. Not to mentioned that I had called their reps, who gave me a quote of 224 after I canceled my service in May. I have the written conversations with me and then after my husband returned their equipment, the last rep I spoke with told me my last bill was 198 and couple cents after they adjusted all the overcharges that had grossly charged me in the first place. Lo and behold I went to pay the final bill of 198 dollars that the rep told me. I owe only to see 287 dollars and couple cents. I called back the company furious to find out why I was told my final bill of 198 after returning the equipments only to be greeted by almost a hundred dollars increase.
Needless to say, I was beyond furious. Needless to say, not a penny will come from me. Had someone told me about Comcast price gauging practices and extremely poor customer service, I would have never used them to begin with... it was after the fact I found out about other people's similar experience with this company. A person relayed to me that one guy had Comcast and they charged him 200 dollars deposit because other people who used to live in his apartment didn't pay their bill.
By this guy's third bill, he was charged 600 dollars in one month alone. Please find a more reputable and trustworthy company to do service with -- one that doesn't price gauge and break their contracts. It's more than a matter of time before a class action lawsuit is filed against this company and I am willing to be a participant any day any time. Please save yourself the money and trouble.. NEVER use Comcast/Xfinity. It's just not worth it.

Our service went down 8 days ago and a Comcast service tech came out to our office to see if it was our equipment. He stated that the lines were messed up on Comcast's home office end. We got service back up after a few hours and the tech said he tried it and all lines are working and trunking to each other and no voice mail is on them. After he left we received complaints that our customers couldn't get through and we found out only one of our lines was working all the rest were not. Now have been working was their customer service which shouldn't be called service at all. It's a joke same as their supervisors. We have lost $1,000's of dollars and Comcast could care less.

It took over 20 minutes for tech to answer the phone. ** finally answered and I explained problem to him/her. He went over schedule to get someone out to repair problems. He warned that Comcast would charge a fee to have a tech come out if no problem was found in their equipment. I complained about the last tech saying the amp was too high and causing the noise and a loose connection, but did not resolve the problem.

I made an appointment for (free) technical service over the phone and confirmed it when called by their automated appointment confirmation line. No technician ever arrived. There was no communication from the company regarding technician status, no cancellation, no apology for the missed appointment, and no attempt to contact me to reschedule. I called asking how they would make it up to me and they said they would not charge me for a technician to visit at another time. In other words, they fabricated a service charge and then tried to use it as a way to reimburse me for time off taken to meet their technician.
I asked for a $100 credit. A service technician is paid roughly $50 for a half day. I took a half day off and will have to take another half day off to meet a technician who may or may not show up. An account credit for $100, at their own low rate for that time, is logical and reasonable. I asked why the technician did not show for the appointment and why no attempt was made to remedy this or contact me and was told by the agent that "there is no reason why. I don't know."

I recently moved into a new place with my fiance and we needed cable and WiFi service and we chose Comcast. In the almost 5 months having Comcast I quickly cancelled my phone and cable package and switched to their super speed WiFi only, and I'll start giving you the facts as follows... it is very hard for me to type these for the rest of this will be without proper grammar. It was ok within itself to get contact Service Friday even installed when she barely two cable boxes and Service and you have to call them before three different time. The original court order the service my second call was a good week. After 2 weeks it will have received two cable boxes and the Triple Play package that they offered I was told "Yeah that was the case." One day actually came to install my service I only receive one cable box which time I called them to ask why I was minus one cable box to which I was told that I had only ordered one. This was clearly not correct.
Afternoon it's worth of Service I decided to give it up the Triple Play and stick with just the super speed wifi. Shortly thereafter I called to complain about my WiFi service which was not up to this speed ever of which they said I was getting my pay for said Service. They sent outsend test my wifi speed how to make sure that my WiFi service what is indeed working properly. It was not working properly and the technician switched out my router for a better one. I was told there was two WiFi options I could use and down was instructed when one was performing poorly to switch. In our home we have 6 total objects connected to the WiFi service but generally only two of those at a time. Still at this point I was not getting the numbers I was told I was going to get as far as WiFi capability. I called and complain - they switched my Service and credited me $20. Gave me some cable channels but that's not what I wanted.
So I call back and complain about the WiFi service yet again. The technician I spoke to tested it from their end and I was correct - it was not performing properly so an appointment was made to send someone out yet again today. That young man came out, switched the router, told me there were two - I could use one was for my smart TV and my laptop, the other for my phone and Roku. Till now I can only connect to that which she told me to connect my phone to the other one is not operating properly and when I called to complain about all of it yet again to a supervisor I was told I would get a $30 credit.
Not only why they not want to do anything else but I was also told that on average my home uses more than double data usage than most home which I find very hard to believe. I am currently going to seek out some other form what company to help me and once my bill is paid I will get rid of Comcast for good although their customer service reps are very courteous and polite. I was in customer service for over 19 years and it's not just about being courteous and polite but also the service that you offer should be up to par and if it's not it should be corrected. None of which I received from Comcast Xfinity. I do not recommend them to anybody and I think that they are waste of time and money.

On June 22nd a payment was made to our Comcast bill via CC. The payment NEVER showed up on our account. We have called numerous times only to be on hold for an hour or more and then speak to people who barely speak English! Not to mention we were constantly told that a certain department could not handle an issue because of time or ability.
Fast forward to today, 2 days later June 24th. I called Comcast and waited for 45 minutes and 32 seconds before I got the rudest and most disrespectful representative that I have ever encountered in my adult life! First I explain what is going on and she tells me that the confirmation number given to me is of no use because they don't use the confirmation numbers for anything. I asked her "what is the point of a confirmation number?" and she said "I don't know and I have already told you that there is nothing I can do with it".
The conversation continues in that manner and after 10 mins she tells me she can transfer me to a Billing rep. I told her "I asked you were you one in the beginning of our conversation and you said yes." She replied "I am not and have you spoken to them already?" I said "I have spoken to just about every department and no one can seem to help me, but the money has been taken from our bank account so we just want someone who can help us." She replies "I will transfer you because you don't listen". Not only did she get rude, she hung up on me!
I of course called back immediately. After waiting for 21 mins and 13 seconds I got **. She seemed to be more pleasant, but when I explained my situation and what just happened and asked for a supervisor she put me on hold for another 3 mins and 45 seconds (my phone has a timer) and then hung up on me. I still have not been helped and obviously no one at Comcast cares because they know they are the only provider right now in my neighborhood. This is very unfortunate and poor customer service. And I will do everything I can to get Verizon or whoever to provide service to our area!

Went into the Merrillville, Indiana Xfinity service center on June 9th, 2015 to set up Internet/Phone and TV service in our new home that we would be taking possession of June 17th. The first available appointment they had was for June 23rd between 8:00am - 10:00am. This worked great with my schedule as I work from home, and kept internet at our old house until the 22nd to ensure I wouldn't miss any work. I require internet to perform my job. I had the sales representative ensure me that there would be NO issue with my install on June 23rd. No technician came out during the scheduled time slot.
I call in the service center and am told that my service was cancelled - prior to even being installed! I requested information into who cancelled the service. Not a single representative could provide me with any information as to why my install was cancelled/or whose fault it was. It certainly was not mine, as I had confirmed the appointment the night before. No resolution was provided.
After speaking with 4 representatives to get a new time to install, I am given a supervisor who told me I would be scheduled for install that day later in the afternoon and that dispatch would call me to coordinate coming out. I did not receive ANY communication that day, the next morning June 24th I call first thing in the morning to see when someone was coming out to install our services. There is apparently no communication of my conversation with the supervisor or any communication of my rescheduled install.
After speaking with 2 more representatives and them telling me a supervisor would call me back to address the issue, I instead went into the branch in Merrillville to escalate the issue face-to-face. I am told the earliest the install can take place in June 26th, 2015. Completely disgusted with the service, that nothing was done to escalate the install to be completed the next day despite the fact the error was on Comcast's fault, and that there was no offer to have any fee removed, discount applied or alternative solution to the dreadful service I received. This is, hands down, the single worst interaction I have EVER had with a service provider. At this time I still do not have a solution, install time nor have I received a call back from the manager I met with in the Xfinity store.

We are new customers who moved to Woodstock GA. Comcast was the unfortunate choice for wifi/tv service in the area. I called on June 6 to schedule our service tech to come out on Monday, June 15. The customer service rep said that they couldn't schedule past Saturday, June 13, 2015. REALLY??? That's 1 week out!!! What kind of calendar are they working with??? We were moving in on the 15th of June, and would not be in the home for a tech to come on Sat the 13th. She said we could make the appt and then reschedule it for a more convenient time once we were moved in. Monday, June 15, we picked up the equipment at a store located 40 min away because we needed to have some kind of TV and Internet service at our home before a technician could come and do the official installation.
At the Marietta Xfinity store, I received 1 modem, 3 cable boxes and no remote controls!!! The girl who gave me my equipment had the nerve to ask for 5 stars on her review!!! She should get 1 star for not verifying the total equipment she gave me!!! Can’t turn on cable boxes with NO REMOTES!!! DUHHH!!! Tuesday, June 16, we had a Wifi signal that disappeared that night. We had already started service and now had NO SERVICE!!! I called and spoke to 4 different people, all of which told me different things. One rep said my service was cancelled. Another rep said to take the modem back and see if a new one would fix the problem. Wed, June 17, got a new modem and the remotes that we should have gotten with our cable boxes, and still NO INTERNET!!! I was asked for a service technician to come out and fix this problem and they said that the soonest they could get someone out was the FOLLOWING TUESDAY THE 23RD!
I'm a BRAND NEW CUSTOMER and I would have to wait another week for service?? Come on!!! I asked for a supervisor to please see if they could rush this since I work from home and need access to internet service. They said they would ESCALATE the problem and I would receive a call from Comcast on Friday June 19. Someone called my cell from Comcast on Friday but DID NOT Leave a message for me. Sometime during Thursday June 18, we got a signal in our house to be able to watch 1 TV out of the 4 rooms. I also found 1 signal for the modem in a upstairs room that is not my office where my computer is located. Saturday June 20, we called and spoke to a few reps that said they would ESCALATE the problem again and that a tech would call me on Sunday, June 21 at 10:40am to let me know that they would be out to fix the problem that day!!!
I was happy to hear that news... However, I was hesitant that anything would happen with this. The rep told me that since it was late in the day Saturday that they couldn't send some out and that Sunday June 21, there was a tech available. On Sunday June 21, 1040am came and went!!! NO PHONE CALL from Comcast. I called Comcast at 11:30 to find out what happened with the tech. A rep named ** said that the tech that was scheduled was the wrong one and that the rep on Saturday who told us we would be taken care of didn't have the authority to schedule a tech. OH and to add insult to injury, our appt that had been scheduled for June 23rd for 1 week now had now been CHANGED TO SATURDAY JUNE 27 WITHOUT MY CONSENT!!!
I lost my mind at this point because that June 23rd appt was to resolve all connectivity issues I had since the beginning, and to properly install our cable boxes with the TVs in each room and make sure that we had a 4 way splitter so our rooms would all be Xfinity ready. All the while, no courtesy phone calls from Comcast to let us know what’s happening with our service. I called today to let them know that I would be cancelling service on Wednesday June 24th if they didn't send someone out before Thursday June 25 to rectify this bull crap. They supposedly ESCALATED me again and told me that I would get a call from dispatch within the hour to see about scheduling someone before Thursday the 25. Guess what, NO CALL and the escalation ticket was CLOSED OUT because no service tech is available before Thursday June 25. NO COURTESY call to inform me either!!!
All in all, I don't ever want to do business with Comcast. They should be called Crap Cast, because all they give you is crap!!!! No follow up, a lot of lip service, bull crap lies about service being handled and just a huge debacle of MASS INEPTITUDE at its FINEST!!! I don't even know how the hell they stay in business!!!

Comcast holds their customers hostage and they do nothing to compensate for their substandard service.

"Thank you for choosing Comcast my name is **, how can I help you?" Sounds familiar? Well I am one of the voices Comcast puts on their front row of the rants. We get the "**" and such. Can you just imagine the horror? Let me tell you about my job. We have three tools we use on our computer. One for troubleshooting, one for billing, one for creating tickets for complaints or compliments. (Duh we never used the compliment ticket) and sometimes these ** tools won't work.
Comcast needs to freaking fix our tools. How the hell would you expect us to give 100% accurate information for the customer without getting to the page we want to? We have to put the customers on hold just to wait for the system to load...like, wtf?! We know what to do, we were trained well. And helping customers out would be more easier if the tools the headphones the internet speed and the ** SYSTEM LATENCY we have to go through every single day! And what the hell is up with the technicians making job orders complete without even really going to the customers house? What's up with the dispatch department rescheduling visits without even calling? You guys have no idea what we go through every single day. Our customers are none to blame it's the ** service Comcast has. Even customer care agents experience the nightmare Comcast has.
TIPS FOR CUSTOMERS: "NO SIGNAL" - If this shows up in your screen, check your TV input using the remote that comes with the TV, not the Comcast remote. Look for SOURCE/INPUT button or a box that has an arrow inside it. Then highlight the TV option that pops us your screen. "FUZZY / SNOWY PICTURE" - Check wires to the box and the TV. Look for the the port that says "video" change wires if possible. Or even better, change the box - Comcast centers are open Mondays to Saturdays. "REMOTE NOT WORKING" - Go online on the Comcast website, click "support" at the top of the web page. Select "program remote" and follow the easy steps.
"BILLS GO HIGH" - Check the breakdown of the bills, if you see extra charges that you didn't had at all. Call Billing, ask for credit - all representatives have $60 credit for each customers. But make sure the dispute is valid. "BLACK SCREEN" - Power cycle the box, plug out the power cord from the wall, re-plug back in after 20 secs. Then send a signal using the Comcast website. "XFINITY ON DEMAND NOT WORKING" - Call Comcast ask for appointment quickly. "CREDITS" - Supervisors have $300 credits on each customer. "MANAGER CALL" - If you want a manager, we're not allowed to transfer you immediately. We have to attempt to fix the problem on our end, even our supervisors are busy talking to customers because Comcast never runs out of problems.
I'm not saying this because I'm a rep. But guys, you have no idea how many customers tell us were horrible people, because of something we didn't do. Take it easy, it's always the small people who get stepped on and yelled at. I love helping out customers it satisfies me fixing their issues. It's Comcast is that wouldn't ** do their part of keeping their word and overcharging everything!

I have had Comcast for almost a year now and it is the worst cable company. Their customer service is terrible and the employees are incompetent. We had an issue with our box for approximately 3 months and had a technician come out and replace the HD cable. That was a temporary fix while other problems had come up. We spoke to a manager to have our problem resolved and he scheduled us for a technician only to find out he never scheduled it. We discovered this after the technician never showed up. We scheduled another appointment and the reps mixed up our scheduled times so for 2 consecutive days we had no technician. Finally, we were able to get a technician to show up and he called the wrong phone number and then continued to sit outside our residence for approximately 15 minutes. To say the least, I would rather go without cable and internet than to ever have to deal with Comcast.

The two service reps that responded to my call could speak clear English and they and I had to keep repeating simple things. They told me they don't keep notes on incoming calls from customers. What company does not keep records. I've been in customer service for over 30+ years, and would not talk crazy like that to customers. This is not 30 years ago... and even then we kept records of incoming calls. Anyway they insisted the internet failure was my HP Laptop. (6 months new) After the supervisor swore tech support was unavailable to get me back online and I needed to call during reg business hrs 9-5 pm... you could hear crickets. Finally I gave up and hung up.
I ended up troubleshooting the issue based on what the Tech told me 5 days earlier when I lost internet connection. Anyway, I am now convinced Comcast is outsourcing and I was actually talking to reps in another country. Last time I had that issue I was dealing with T-Mobile reps in India. This is what outsourcing gets us. As Americans we are used to most reps trying to help. Anyway I called the next night, and amazing enough I was transferred to the non existing after hrs Tech Support department. The Tech advised me they are there 24/7. She helped me get back online. (And she spoke clear English.) The call lasted 3 min. Oh and Comcast has no 'Contact Us' dept. They give you the runaround when you click on the link. It keeps sending you back thru this loop.. I have yet to get completely signed up cause their webpage is telling me to use my pin.
When I clicked on PIN, it rolled me back to payment system. I've got to admit the portal to making my payments works very well! Oh and you can't send them emails. But they have a forum where customers have to help each other. U-verse is looking pretty good now. If anyone knows of a way to get someone to acknowledge that customer exist from Comcast, pass it on to me. They have not earned any loyalty from me.

When I signed A TWO YEAR CONTRACT with COMCAST for TV, phone, and wireless service for $180 a month, I naively thought that my rate would, in fact, be firm for two years. But NO. Within six months, my rate went to over $200. When I complained, I was told that "equipment rental" charges went up. Huh? Wasn't that part of our contract? What a slimy company. Consumer beware: COMCAST'S word is worthless.

Today, Comcast sent me a letter saying that due to an error in my bill, I wasn't charged $19.95 for my subscription to "video services," and they were raising my bill, effective with the next billing cycle, to $254.95. I called Comcast, and the rep told me that I had two DVR boxes; the first one was $10 and the second $19.95. I asked why is the second more than the first, and she didn't have an answer. Moreover, I only had one DVR box, so why was I charged for two in the first place?
She claimed I had two boxes, and from there, the conversation deteriorated, with her threatening to disconnect the call if I continued disparaging Comcast. Finally, she admitted that my plan included two DVR boxes, so the letter correcting the "error" was in error itself. She said she'd give me a credit of $19.95 on my next month's bill, so in effect I'm loaning them $19.95. I asked her how many people received this letter, and she wouldn't tell me. I suspect this was a ploy to raise everyone's bill $19.95 who subscribed to this particular package. Most people wouldn't bother to call, and of those who did, most would simply accept Comcast's explanation.

I moved out of the Comcast area, so my alarm system could not move with me. Comcast demanded all payments for the term of the alarm system starting over from the last time I moved. The move was not planned. I had been paying for the alarm system monthly for 6 months, then moved inside their area. Paid another couple of months before moving out of the area. The demanded payment for the full term $1100. Did not even count the first 6 months payments. I called a couple of times they said I would need to call back. They turned me over to collections, which I have paid religiously, $59 twice a month. This shows on my credit report. I will never have any kind of service with Comcast again.

Every time my monthly charges change arbitrarily. I am never given an explanation as to why this happens. Their billing amounts are supposedly based on a 12 month billing cycle. However, this is what I have been billed for the last 12 months: 06/20/14 133.63, 07/10/14 80.36, 08/11/14 84.73, 09/10/14 84.73, 10/10/14 106.99, 11/12/14 106.99, 12/10/14 106/99, 01/12/15 106.99, 02/10/15 107.99, 03/10/15 107.99, 04/10/15 107.99, 05/11/15 120.38, 06/10/15 138.95.
I protested against the last amount and was given an adjustment, so that my actual payment was reduced to $104.56 on May 20, 2015. In addition I was offered, and accepted a new 2-year contract with monthly payments of $89.99/mo for the next 12 months. However, in my latest billing the amount of the adjustment I had received on May 20 has been added on to my latest invoice, so instead of $89.99 I am billed $115.11! It is outrageous that this unethical conduct by this company is allowed to continue. Please let me know what steps are available to me to make Comcast adhere to its contractual obligations.

I am a big fan of checking products reviews and this is main reason why I am here. I wish I had checked people reviews about Comcast service before getting it. The one and only reason why I had to switch up from ATT to Comcast was because ATT do not offer a Brazilian channel that my roommate likes. However, it is impossible to keep up with how pissed I get everyday with Comcast service. The only way you can contact a customer service agent is if you act like you want to get the service, otherwise you will be on the hold for years and nobody picks up. My only advice to someone who is maybe thinking about trying it.. DO NOT! and if Comcast is the only service in your area, please move.
