My husband had Comcast for years. Sadly, he passed away this year and I had the difficult task of dealing with these people. I went to talk to someone at Comcast to (1) change the service over to my name and (2) get a more affordable package. After paying $600.00 between May 2nd and June 16th, I was told that my current bill was $178.00 because of past due charges, late fees etc. The monthly bill was approximately $155.00 so naturally, I was very upset.
I called several times to complain that each time I paid this bill, I paid what was due. Needless to say, I got no one who was willing to satisfy a dissatisfied customer. To add insult to injury, a female customer service agent placed me on hold never returned and when I got home, my two main boxes had been mysteriously disconnected. A former technician with Comcast assured me that someone in the center had to disconnect my two main boxes because the other televisions in the house were working just fine.

On Friday, May 29 we started having trouble with our internet connection dropping repeatedly. On Saturday, May 30 I called Comcast and set up an appointment for Monday, June 1, between 1 and 3 pm for a tech to come. I made sure I was home that afternoon and when it was almost 3 pm I called only to find out that the appointment had been rescheduled for Wednesday, June 3, from 5 to 7 pm. No one had called to see if that appointment time was acceptable or that no one was coming for the June 1 appointment.
On Wednesday, June 3, I received a call from a tech (he gave me his name as **) who said that they were working on the switching of locations from Lake Worth Road to State Road 7 and that the signal would improve by the end of that evening. I requested his phone number ** and asked him to call me the next day to verify that the problem was corrected which he agreed to do. The next day the signal had not improved (the internet continued to drop frequently). Since I had not heard back from ** I called him at about 6 pm. He indicated that he was in the middle of doing a service call and would investigate and get back to me. I never heard back from **.
Later that same evening my daughter called Comcast and set up another appointment. The earliest time available was Sunday, June 7, in the morning. Another tech showed up and repaired/replaced equipment that had been installed by Comcast less than a year ago. We were never told there was a charge nor were we provided any paperwork indicating exactly what was done. On Saturday, June 13, I checked my bank account and was surprised that my balance was less than anticipated and I saw that Comcast did the auto draft on my account. While I was anticipating the draft I did not expect it to be more than my bill of $136.16. The draft was for $181.16 so I called Comcast to inquire as to why more than my bill was taken out of my account. I was told that there had been a $70 service fee placed on my account on June 8 which was prior to the draft date so the draft was increased to cover the new charge.
Based on this I cancelled the auto draft for future bills and requested that the $70 charge be removed. The young lady I spoke with said she was giving the information to her supervisor and that I would hear back from the supervisor on Monday, June 15. It is after 8 pm and I have heard nothing so I called Customer Service and the gentleman I spoke to said there was no ticket for follow up. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that I would get a return call within the next 2 hours. I am not expecting the call but will keep my phone handy. The call never came...
For the last few years I have thought that the service by Comcast had improved and had recently signed a two year contract rather than switch to another provider who had a promotion. I must say that this experience has taken too much of my time with the broken appointment and a tech whose work ethic was not honest. If the $70 charge is not removed from my billing and the service, should I need it, not improve I will need to seek an alternative for my internet and television. I know that Comcast was making an effort to improve the customer service. I am very disappointed with the past two weeks and how Comcast has handled this service call.

We got Comcast triple installed at our home we rent. The service guy came out and hooked everything up. He failed to give us our Internet password and that was December. I called several times and we still have no password. To top it off, we had the home security. We had it installed on the outside of our home because we HAD brand new snowmobiles and 2 new cars. Well, the tech failed to mention the camera doesn't record unless the alarm is tripped. With 2 large dogs and nothing fancy in our home, we placed the camera outside and obviously no one would break in our house when they could steal our $15,000 in snowmobiles. So that was never recorded because they didn't break in our house. Why the tech wouldn't inform us it was useless to put a camera outside is beyond me. So I call Comcast to cancel just the home security and they won't let me unless we pay a huge early termination fee.
I start to get over all this terrible dealings with Comcast and we are moving again. I need to cancel Comcast altogether and once again they are fighting me on it. Again with the outrageous fees. So they hang up on me. Now I call back, someone will transfer me, and then hang up before the transfer person connects. It is almost like they red flag me so I can't cancel. They are impossible to deal with and completely unrealistic. It is the worst customer service I have ever received.

I was a Comcast customer for over 10 years and was never thoroughly impressed with their service in general. (If that seems like it was too long to not enjoy, consider that all cable/satellite providers have bad referrals.) When I moved to Charlotte, NC I had to switch to another provider because Comcast is not available in the area. I was asked to provide proof that I was relocating for work to terminate my contract without the penalty. I personally went to the Comcast service center and provided that proof. A Comcast representative assured me that they would waive the early termination fee and even showed me the $0 early termination line on my account. 1 month later I received a bill from Comcast with a $518 early termination fee. I assumed it was a mistake and called Comcast.
To my disbelief, they retracted the waived fee and acted like it was a policy to screw 10+ year loyal customers. I will never do business with them again and swear to spread this story to as many people as possible. On the bright side, it was charged to a credit card that I will challenge the charge and Comcast will never see another penny of mine. I hope this changes at least one persons mind if they ever consider Comcast vs any other provider. WORST SERVICE IN THE INDUSTRY (or any industry at all)!!!

My internet continues to go out. When I finally use my detective skills to find their number, I get a computer. Finally get to a person that can't talk English and repeats themselves over and over. I'm pretty sure they are instructed to do this to discourage phone calls. I get nowhere and almost wish the computer would come back. At least it made a bit more sense. Had to take extra prescription medication to get through the evening. There should be more competition that would weed out these lousy companies that should be illegal.

When calling Comcast (already have cable and Internet) they offered to bundle and offered phone service. They confirmed (I have a copy of the Internet chat with the Comcast rep to verify) that I would not lose phone service while they converted to comcast. My mother in law had a health emergency 12 days later and the phone was dead. I called comcast and could not get through to a person. Once I finally did, they would not connect me to a person that could help, despite me asking repeatedly asking for a manager. I had to drive my loved one on the hospital because 911 would not work. She arrived late and it has jeopardized her recovery. I am in the process of consulting with a lawyer from the Department of Justice. Comcast should be shut down.

For months, Comcast kept sending me "notices" that my modem was obsolete and needed to be replaced. So, I would ask for a technician, who NEVER showed up on three separate occasions. When the land line went totally dead, I called Comcast and someone stated that it wasn't the modem, and that I needed to purchase a new phone. So, I purchase a new phone, and the line is still dead.
After 50,000 emails and angry phone calls, they finally resolve to send a technician. HE DID NOT SHOW UP. Finally, an employee who didn't have mental issues or a brain destroyed by weed contacted me and sent over a very competent and professional technician. This issue could have been resolved in less than 20 minutes and it took 48 hours worth of shouting and escalated blood pressure. Shortly thereafter, they disconnected the new modem again out of spite. I resolved not to pay anything until that land line was restored, so I guess someone must have put the pacifier down and turned the modem back on.
My neighborhood and my apartment complex has no other option for service. This mega corporation, filled with employees who articulate in a drug induced manner, should be shut down, or taken over by genuine people instead of genuine cockroaches. They are a thorn in the side of consumers. If you have any other options, please DO NOT use Comcast. They are evil, satanic, despicable and most of all, stupid and incompetent.

This is only the third review I have written (the first two were positive), but I have to share my negative experiences with Comcast. I should have noted the red flag and fled to a more reliable company after my first call to Comcast... It was an inquiry about the different packages available and the price. I was on the line for over an hour - on and off of hold - and I didn't get any information. The agent told me she would call back with the information, and she did not.
The next day (Sunday) I called again and was quickly able to get a price and schedule installation (I don't know what the woman was doing the previous day while I was on hold!). When I scheduled installation for the earliest date (five days later on the Friday), I explained that my contractor would meet the Comcast technician. The Comcast agent told me the technician would call thirty minutes before arriving. At this point, I emphasized that this was essential because the contractor might need to collect materials. The technician did not call until he was waiting at the front door.
When my contractor told him he would be ten minutes, he said he could not wait. I called the technician back a few hours later and he was very rude and unhelpful. When I asked for his name he hesitated and then said, "Bob." Clearly an intelligent chap...such a convincing lie! I called him out on the lie and he said he wasn't allowed to give me a name. So...back to the delightful task of trying to get through the minefield that is the automated call system to complain to an agent! I eventually reached an agent, and was placed back on hold. The call lasted for one hour and a technician was not scheduled. She told me she would call me back that evening as soon as she had managed to schedule a technician to come out. Of course, there was no callback.
90 minutes later I called Comcast AGAIN, and spoke with another rude and unhelpful representative. She could not reschedule a technician for another five days. I asked to speak with a supervisor, she told me they would not be able to help. I said I would like to cancel my account, and that I would be reviewing my negative experience, and she said okay. There was absolutely no effort to compensate for the poor service and no apology; this resulted in a terminated account. Recommendations for new providers are welcome... :) In short, DO NOT even attempt to join Comcast; their customer service is non-existent!

False advertisement. Plain and simple. I signed up for 79.99/ month starter double play and got a package for 99.00/ month. I called 30 minutes after installation when I realized there were problems. They told me sorry, nothing they could do since I was no longer a new customer. Seriously?? Also, their 39.95 installation is actually 79.95. They won't tell you the 39.95 is just for the tech to pull into your driveway... The other is a 20.00 fee for a video line and a 20.00 fee for an internet line. I've never had Comcast. I've been a DirecTV customer for 10 years, but I needed internet and sadly Comcast internet is so high you may as well bundle with your cable. I'm very disappointed so far, and its only been 6 days. I would like to one day see a choice for cable... These companies ate a monopoly. Unless of course you want satellite... And don't even get me started on satellite internet!

This is beyond any doubt the worst company I have ever dealt with in my 75 years of doing business. I put them on auto pay when I first signed up and their billing was so screwed up that I could not trust them so I removed auto pay and delay with them thru snail mail. Their bill would come late and when it arrived I would pay my bill and they would try to charge me a late fee. I could never get a clear understanding of the charges and how they billed even when I got someone who spoke English well enough to understand.
I moved from Cal to Washington and use their moving department who promised me a certain price and a $300 credit card... I set a moving date which I had to change by a couple of days. When that happened the deal changed although they did not tell me at the time that I changed the installation day. Later I found out that the price had all gone up and I lost my $300 card because I had simple delayed the installation date. I move to DirecTV and FILO internet and so far so good.

When calling, you are on hold for 30 to 1 hr waiting, then transferred, and disconnected. Only to have to call back numerous times to solve it. Then notes are never entered properly so no one honors anything that was said from a previous rep. The bill is way too high and the company raises prices because they can and they are the only provider around. They charge ridiculous fees as well. It is impossible to work out arrangements with them if needed because the account is never noted properly so they say. So you have to argue to get any kind of assistance and is way too stressful. They are refusing to work with me and I am trying.

I am a seasonal customer from Port Charlotte, FL and have Comcast on seasonal hold as they promised that it is very cheap to just put the account on hold. So a couple days before we were ready to leave, I called and told them to place me on hold. They sent me my normal bill and I contacted them again and told them no, that I needed the seasonal hold rate and a new bill. Never received a new bill but when I go and look at my account online wow is all I can say! I have so many charges the bill is now up to over $94.00! I was told under $20.00 per month. Even had the balls to now add a late fee! I did not ever receive a corrected bill to even pay from yet a late fee? Really??
They never tried to send me any kind of bill other than the full amount for a month I would not be there. Well now they want $64.00 for a half month besides all the other charges for who knows what because there is no explanation.. I only had the service for the month for 3 days yet being charged for a half month! I did live chat today and the person said they took care of the bill and all is okay now after I paid them $28.55 which he said that was all that was owed to date.. Nope. The payment I made to them they only took off the top of the $94.00 bill I do not owe. This is crazy. They will not stop overcharging me and now I am way up north away from them so can't even go in person to try and stop this mess.

I spoke with a rep by the "so called" name of **. I told him that the bill did not make sense because it looked like I got double billed. He tried to tell me that they bill ahead of time. My bill was for May 18 - June 17 and payment due date was for $155. I moved on May 16 so this payment should have been applied to the new address and the services cut off. I paid that at the end of the month that it was due and it should have been applied to the new bill. According to the billing when I check, I still owe on the old house for may 18 - June 17 even though we did not live there anymore and services were "Transferred" and supposed to be cut off.
I have paid around $150 each month since I started and all of a sudden, my bill may 18 to June 17 is $371. He kept stating that they rolled over the last month bill already and according to their bill, it shows that my payment is applied but it does not reflect on any bills and he never seemed to understand simple math. If the only difference is $20 video install and $39.95 install visit, why is my bill jacked up $150? He kept giving me the run around. I was on the phone with him for over 1.5 hours and now I have been on hold with his supervisor for 25 minutes and waiting.
The funny thing he said is "if you want to speak with a supervisor, you will be waiting for a long time." He constantly interrupted and seemed to not want to listen to any reasoning but to just tell me what he thought was right. But it did not make sense that they charged for 2 months. I am assuming he makes me wait so I will hang up but he is wrong. I am on the phone for the long haul. I finally get ** back on the line and he said that he is transferring me to the supervisor and then I get a hang up signal. I try and call back and all of a sudden it states that they are closed. How convenient. WORST customer services ever!!!!!!

When I moved to our new home I was not aware that Comcast service was not available in my neighborhood. Which forced me to cancel my Comcast subscriptions since I was not able to receive Comcast services (I was very satisfied with the services provided).

If you happen to move to a neighborhood that is not serviced by Comcast you have to pay an outrageous cancellation fee. Mine was $756.82.

When speaking to sales, I was quoted $228.63 as the total price. My first bill was $379.95. I accepted that as an installation charge. My second bill was $317.36 with an additional installation charge. They did agree to remove the extra $45.00 installation fee but refused to honor their quoted price and instead, said my new bill will be $262.32 monthly. A charge of $33.69 over their original estimate.
Based on my experience, Comcast seems to purposely encourage their sales reps to mislead and lie to customers to secure sales and then strong-arm them over contract issues. Such unprofessional and corrupt behavior by a company makes me question all future dealings with said company.

I had never quite understood the near-universal loathing for Comcast. Sure, it is difficult to cancel services, or to figure out how I am being billed, but that is unfortunately true for a lot of outlets. Yes, they are generally hours outside of their service window, forcing you to take a whole day off of work rather than the promised two hours. It was not until this past week, however, that I came to understand why Comcast is perhaps the most hated service of the modern era.
I was supposed to have cable and high-speed internet installed in the house that I am moving into. I often work from home and needed to have my service installed before moving, so made an appointment well in advance. The technician failed to show between 8:00 and 10:00 AM as promised. Fine, I've had this before; called at 10:20 to find out how much longer the technician was likely to be, and, after twenty minutes wading through a phone tree and being put on hold, was told, "They are running a little late but will be there soon." A few hours later, no technician, so I call again. This time, it took me twenty minutes to get a person on the phone, and a half-hour on the phone with her to establish that my appointment had been "put on hold" and that the customer service representative could not figure out why. She told me that dispatch would call within 30 to 60 minutes and explain what was going on.
Ninety minutes later, no return call, so I called again. This time, I had to call three times before the phone tree let me through to a person. "Yeah, your installation is on hold because the technician came to install and you weren't there." No, I was there, and they didn't show up. Forty-five minutes of customer service time later, with the customer service representative putting me on hold four or five times, and promising that the installation could be rescheduled for the following day, her phone cut out, and I of course could not get the same person again. I called back, and, again, three times, attempted to make it through the phone tree, finally got put on hold, only to get a message an hour later that Comcast was no longer able to take my call.
I called back the next morning. The service representative told me that the soonest they could reschedule my appointment for was the following Wednesday and that, even though this was 100% the fault of Comcast, even though I had to take the whole day off of work for the technician to not show up, and even though I had specifically scheduled the installation before moving so that I could work from home, too bad, they couldn't install any sooner; that was after an hour on the phone, escalating my complaint to a supervisor. Total time wasted waiting on Comcast to not show up: ten hours. Total time wasted on the phone with Comcast trying to resolve this issue: five hours. Total number of technicians who lied about showing up to install my service when I was sitting in the house waiting: one.

Comcast's service is terrible even AFTER you've closed your account with them. Last February, I switched to a different cable provider because I was so frustrated with the poor quality of Comcast's digital cable service (pixelated images, went on the fritz every time there was a strong wind, raised rates every January without improving service, etc.). The technicians were always friendly and helpful, but the quality of the cable never improved. So I switched to another company. Lo and behold, I continued receiving bills from Comcast even after paying my final bill and returning all the equipment. This happened several times. Each time I received a bill, I called them to find out what was going on and I was told, each time, that Comcast made a mistake, that my account should be closed, and that I should disregard the bill.
Let me not forget to mention that, each time I called to discuss this billing issue, the rep tried to get me to sign up for Comcast again and to upgrade my service. I told them that this sales pitch was one of the many reasons why I was frustrated with Comcast. Today (June), I received a bill from a collection agency saying that I owe this money to Comcast and legal action would be taken if I don't pay up. So I called Comcast, explained everything for the umpteenth time and was told that this was the remaining balance on my account. The rep suggested I settle the bill and my account would be finally closed. I told her I would settle the bill because I don't have access to the kinds of lawyers that could make Comcast's life difficult and I just want this to be over, even though I was told before that I should disregard the bill.
Now I also have to call the collection agency to tell them that I'm paying this but don't want it to show up on my credit report. Not only is Comcast a terrible and unethical company but they'll also try to ruin your credit rating if you're not careful. I will NEVER purchase Comcast service again, and I will also advise every person I know to stay away from this awful, awful company.

Comcast installed equipment without asking me that was not included in the monthly price they quoted me. Then later on I get a letter saying my bill is going up $19.95/mo because of these "services." It took 3 appointments and hours on the phone to get my services installed in the first place and now I have to have a fourth appointment to get the equipment they "sold" me without asking me out of my apartment. Scam!

Comcast has overcharged us every month for years. Usually just a few dollars, until they started charging us for a Modem we never leased. We have cancelled all cable service and now only use Internet at a quoted rate of $39.99 per month. My bill for June - $290.04. What am I being charged for? I may never know because Comcast Customer Service lines are not working. The Chat system - pathetic.

I have their 105mb Blast internet and the 60 channel line-up plus HBO and Streampix. I have been having nothing but problems with inconsistent internet speeds and I lost 6 channels that I was supposed to have because they didn't want to correct their error. Instead when I proved to them that I was supposed to have these channels they changed what my line-up showed as on my account overview.
Now, just to state this...I actually did not originally want TV through them. I had just the 105mb internet but when I sent in for a new router/modem they sent me a cable box along with it. I called, they gave me some deductions for their error and then offered me the deal I currently have. They told me it would be $89/month. Well, my first bill after the deductions they pushed through was $50. My second bill is now $137. Basically they are making me pay for the deductions.
This company has done nothing but rip people off for years. Oh but on top of all of the mistakes they have made and the horrible billing...I have had to deal with some people through tech support that didn't even know what they were talking about along with others who were pure attitude and even swore over the phone. I am NOT happy with their service, I am NOT happy with their employees and I am NOT happy about their billing. If I could cancel without ensuing terrible fees or at least downgrade back to my standard internet I would. I am even getting charged for the old router/modem when I sent it back! I am nothing but perturbed!

Since 2010, I have had several issues with Comcast, but mainly with my home phone, which is through them. Unfortunately, I didn't keep detailed records but in the last five years I have consistently called and complained that my phone wasn't working. I have spent days and days over the years on the phone with Comcast and/or waiting for them to show up at my house to fix the problem. I have purchased new phones, switched them around and have tried everything on my end.
Comcast has been out on many occasions and has changed out a line, moved my phones around, changed the modem and nothing has fixed the problem. I have gotten reprimanded by my previous supervisor on many occasions because my phone wasn't working and I wasn't able to attend conference calls and important meetings. I missed calls from my children's schools, doctors, messages, etc. as a result. I ended up having to purchase a $200 device from AT&T so my cell phone would work in my house.
While I didn't call Comcast every day of my life, I have called them consistently over the years. The most recent time someone was out in March, the technician moved my phone bases around and charged me $70! This has caused a lot of unnecessary anxiety and stress in my life. Comcast's practices have been extremely unethical and down right disgusting. They never call me back, they constantly bill me incorrectly, they get you to agree to contracts over the phone without telling you the details and they get away with it.
I spoke to someone from Corporate Liaison department to look into my issues. He ultimately told me I haven't complained enough and there's nothing he can do since I'm in a contract. I only asked they cancel my phone service since it hasn't worked in five years and he refused. If there's a contract in place, both parties need to uphold their side of it and Comcast is not. Something must be done about Comcast. They have the monopoly on Cable Internet so they know they can do whatever they want to their customers. It is truly sickening what they get away with and it needs to stop.

I placed an order to start a Comcast TV and internet service before I move on June 3rd. I clearly stated that I want the self-installation kit sent to my current address which is in Texas.

However, they mailed the kit to my future address, which is in Chicago, IL (I found out by the shipping notice via email). I called their customer service phone, and the lady didn't give me a solution, just redirect me to a mysterious sales and billing department where no one ever answers their phone. So I gave up, I called UPS instead to delay the package until I am in Chicago, IL. In order to delay the package, I will have to pay $6. Why I have to be responsible for the shipping error they made?

I would like to file a complaint regarding Comcast. I have had services with them since September 2014 (internet, home security and cable). I will not get into the multitude of problems I have encountered over the past year. I have been attempting to contact Comcast to disconnect all of my services as I am being relocated overseas by my employer. The first time I called (5/30) I was told that they were having computer issues with individuals who had my kind of account, and that I would have to call back to disconnect services. I have attempted to contact them again today. I was transferred three separate times and asked to repeat all of my identifying information. Apparently, I kept getting transferred to the wrong person. On the third transfer, I spoke with someone who said that I would still have to pay $500 to cancel my services because of a two year contract.
I explained that I was not moving somewhere in the US, where I would have an option to continue my services with Comcast and maintain my contract. I do not have a choice in the matter and am moving to a place where they do not provide services. Comcast is adamant that this fee is still owed, when no other service provider is claiming this. Virtually every other company has stated that since I am moving to a location where they do not offer services, the cancellation fee is voided. I asked to speak to a manager ** who placed me on hold repeatedly. She came back with the same response. I requested to speak with one of her superiors. I have now been on hold for 63 minutes and no one has come on the line. I am not sure if they are finding a supervisor, if they are giving me the run-around, or are waiting for me to give up and end the call.
I am extremely frustrated. I would like my services disconnected with no early termination fee since I do not have the option to continue my contract. They are providing sub-standard customer service all around and at this point, I would never return to Comcast for any kind of service if/when I return to the US due to the way I have been treated by them. It is clear that they do not value or respect their customers.

We planned to migrate our phones to Comcast in May 20, 2015. The salesperson had to resend the agreement to me three or four times because of mistakes he made. Then we received a notice regarding the installation. After reading the information we realized we did not have all the information needed to determine whether we could actually set up the phones with Comcast. We decided, with Comcast, that a site survey was warranted. At that time a technician came out and explained that there was no problem, Comcast could run a connection into the office that needed the base phone, never bringing up the line for the credit card machine. Once the installation technician came on May 20th, we discovered that the credit card machine would have to be rewired in order to connect it to the new Comcast system. We were not willing to do that and at that time cancelled the order.
We asked the Technician what was required to cancel the port over from Century Link. He stated that we did not need to do anything. Then on May 27th, our phones were shut off by Century Link. We then spoke to Century Link which told us the numbers were with Comcast, however Comcast said they were not. I spoke to multiple people at both companies, many saying the same thing for a week. Finally I spoke to ** at Century Links win back department on June 3. That is when we were told that Comcast needed to send a cancellation of the porting order to Century Link Wholesale group before Century Link could turn the phones back on. Century Link had been trying to reach the Porting in department at Comcast since 5/29. The phone was never answered or the e-mail requests responded to.
I then called Comcast and spoke to ** in customer service on 6/3. He said he understood what needed to happen and he tried to call the Comcast Porting in department and got no answer. He then transferred my call to that department. It was now getting to be 4 pm our time, 5pm Colorado time, which is where this department is located. The phone was picked up and then immediately hung up. Then today we called Comcast and spoke to **. He was incredibly rude and unwilling to help. I asked for a Supervisor, and ** told me a Supervisor will just tell you the same thing. And that the Supervisor was busy. I told him I would hold. Finally ** came back on the line and said he would e-mail the proof that Comcast had sent the cancellation to Century Link.
I did receive the e-mail and called Century Link back. They in fact did get the cancellation order from Comcast. Now the phone lines are finally up and going. Because Comcast did not complete their cancellation order to Century Link our phones have been disconnected for a week. And we have spent 2 hrs and 15 minutes on a private cell phone just since 6/1.

They told me I would have to go down to 5330 South Robert Street in West St. Paul to listen to the verbal phone recording. I went down there and they stated they were unable to have me listen to this recording, but I could call billing department. I said, "Well previously this morning I spoke with billing, customer service and Loyalty dept." So they gave me a number and wanted to step aside and I informed them that no you will take care of me first. So I called the number and ** the supervisor tells me nicely to step aside and I say no nicely. The person on the other side tells me I have a binding contract. I said "ok let me listen to it."

Meanwhile I tell ** that he can talk to this gal. He informs me that he can't talk about my account because that is private. I said, "Excuse me but you are looking at my account so I'm sure you can talk with this gal on the other end **". I basically told ** I was not leaving until I received cancellation of service. So the employee then proceeds to tell me that I owe more money as in December my services went from $212.56 down to $199.32. So I owe the difference but she would cancel my service if I paid some $91.00 approx. I said, "Look you can't show me any proof that I had a contract and I am not paying you anymore. Please stop all service June 30, 2015. I don't want other aging persons to go what I have went thru to get service canceled." ** told me at one point that I could be sitting on my comfortable couch at home and disconnect services.

Exactly the second day of every month, I paid Comcast from my bank account $19.99, the agreed price for monthly internet service. I never missed a payment. After a year, they suddenly sent me a statement saying, without any explanation, I have an overdue balance of $88.38 in April, 2015. I disconnected the service. Then in May they sent me a second bill and the overdue payment became $187.28. When the third bill came, the balance became $100.72.
How can I take them seriously? Customers are not money cows to milk the way they want and I have to pay whatever came out of their mouth. Behind the MCI-style billing there is only one possibility. $88.38 was too small an amount for any debt collectors to buy so they blew it to $187.28. Then they felt it might be too much for me to pay, so now they have reduced it to $100.72. This way they are prepared either for this sucker to pay or sell it the collection agency.
Many online reviews tell me they are dishonest because they don't tell you the whole truth in doing business. They are arrogant because they think they can subdue you by threatening. They are despicable because they would pound all over you if they think they have a chance. Let me be clear. If I am not convinced with their explanation, they don't get one more penny from me.

This is COMPLAINT about the IGNORANT company Comcast. During the first week of December 2014 I started having problems with my Comcast internet connection. Web pages would stop loading or wouldn't load at all. The lights would go out on the modem I own & then come on again within 2 minutes. I hoped that it was a temporary problem & would fix itself. It got worse & happened more often & I waited until Mid-January to make my first call to Comcast's so-called customer service line. I don't remember how many calls I made in January but I am sure it was much more than one before a service call was scheduled. The guy that came out replaced worn parts on the outside line or lines. He also told me that my neighbor across the street was having the same problem.
The Comcast guy said there was work or an upgrade being done to the system which was causing the problem. He told me to call again at the end of February if the Comcast internet connection was still not working properly. For a few days after he left it worked properly & then the problem got worse than it was before the supposed January repairs. I called Comcast's so-called customer service line again at the end of February the guy that was sent out did nothing & claimed the Comcast internet connection was working properly. The problem continued & got worse. I called & called & called. No one knew what they were doing or how to arrange to have the problem repaired. Comcast has no idea the stress they caused me.
Comcast has a department called retention or as they answer customer solutions. THEY ARE A JOKE!!! They have no way of communicating with the local people. They claim they do but believe me they don't. On a Sunday afternoon in early March 2015 I was called by a Comcast guy who said he was from the local office & we had a long conversation about the problem & I agreed to take my self-built Windows 7 computer to a local shop for a complete diagnostic. I also agreed to replace my modem if my computer had no problems. My computer was working perfectly so I replaced my modem on a one-time free replacement warranty. This was the third modem in 2 years with Comcast. The problem continued.
So then in April or May 2015 a local field supervisor called & agreed that the cable that was installed by U-verse in 2009 that runs 2/3 around my home should be replaced along with the rest of the cables… He offered to give me his personal cell phone number but I told him to give me only his work number. I left about 10 messages with him over a week & I never heard from him again. 4 times I had to cancel because of bad weather & road construction in front of my home. Finally I thought I had it arranged just after Memorial Day to have the cables replaced. I asked the guy as soon as I opened my front door if he knew what I was told would be done. He didn't & I told him to leave. I did the same thing on June 1, 2015 for the same reason.
The problem continued & I kept calling. Comcast's so-called customer service line is a JOKE & I am being extremely nice when I say that. The vast majority of people at the Comcast so-called customer service line have no idea what to do about a severe problem & so many of them have such heavy accents I couldn't understand them. The problem after nearly 7 Months finally started getting better & since May 29, 2015 is working properly. I deserve to know what caused the problem & how & when it was fixed. It remains to be seen if it will stay that way & if it doesn't I will be calling them again.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO COMCAST. Due to the virtual monopoly that Comcast holds over the Greater Boston area I had no choice but to use this company. They are HORRIBLE! I just finished my 5th, that's right, 5th call with Comcast this month to dispute my bill. Originally, I called because a bundle deal I had apparently expired, even though when I initially signed up for the bundle I was told there would be no expiration on the rates. I called and explained the situation and was told that there had been a mistake and rates had gone up.
I was then forced into signing up for a bundle again (or so I thought) because I was told that it was the cheapest rate. Since that first call three weeks ago, my bill has risen by almost 40$. Each time I call, I then go look at my account and Comcast has added more fees on instead of reducing them as I was guaranteed they would. I have basic cable and high-speed internet and my current bill is MORE than what I used to pay with full cable and Internet!!! I called again today and was told that the bundle I was offered was non-existent! Apparently there was a technical error on their computer system yet I am being held responsible for this bill.
Comcast never bothered to notify me this deal was unobtainable nor did they offer any insight into how to rectify the problem. All I was told, by a senior supervisor, was that I had to pay the bill and it would be rectified next month. I told the supervisor I was moving out of the state and would be canceling Comcast this month so there would be no future bills. Supervisor essentially told me "tough luck" and then became defensive when I said I felt manipulated by this company. I told the supervisor that I wanted to cancel everything right then and there, but apparently that's too much for Comcast to handle. Agents can't rectify cancellation issues and I was told I have to call another division, no contact information, no helpful tips, nothing.
This is the WORST company I have ever dealt with and their service is something comparable to toxic sewage. In fact, I am going to make it my personal mission to help everyone I know and encounter to also become disillusioned with this horrendous business model. I will be sure to post reviews of this nature on every site that I can and I will never, ever use this company again.

A representative from Tom Karinshak's office will contact you within one business day." This is the auto responder. Since that time I have a dozen reps that offer assistance but have delivered nothing. I have, to date, 152 responses.
On Tuesday, May 26 a rep from Comcast came to my residence. He informed me that X1 would not work in this unit. He called Comcast and informed them of the situation. I personally talked to Comcast Executive Office in Oakbrook and we all agreed to stop the installation order paperwork and leave ALL services alone. Today, May 31 all my phones are disconnected. Because it is Sunday I can't get them turned back on till Monday.
This is the second time in one month that Comcast Business and Comcast Residential can't communicate. With over 23 hours of my personal time, dozens of reps, hundreds of emails, not one person has offered any compensation or adjustments. No one person took total ownership of the responsibilities to resolve these issues. No one person has been able to bridge the gap between Comcast Business and Comcast Residential.
Bottom line it has been over a year since Comcast took over the building. My total bills are in excess of $350 per month for internet, phone, and cable services. I am so frustrated and angry I have listed my home for sale. I have lived here since 1985 and the continual escalation of the 'lifeline' of communication leaves me with no other choice. AT&T does not want to service analog phone lines. AT&T and DIRECTV are not choices in a building controlled by Comcast wiring, etc. Comcast, in my opinion ranks as one of the worst customer concentric organizations I have experienced in my life.
If you have a choice between providers Comcast should be your last alternative. Here's the response from the business rep that asked me to call him back on Monday, May 18. "Sorry I cannot call you, I am on inbound calls today. The number 8553366983 is the correct number if you're moving business to business and setting up services. But if it's residential to business, you'll need to get a hold of the residential side to find out their number to cancel any further porting on the telephone end." I am spending too much of my time on this matter. This is total disregard for me as a customer.

Basically, my phone was hacked. They were calling me and harassing me to upgrade my service which was bogus. It wasn't Comcast, it was some outside hired help from another country. My monthly payments went way high after a year.. so I am trying to break it off but they are making it impossible. The only acknowledgement I get now is because they want money. Extremely diabolic company!

We moved on Tuesday and finally got through to a technician who understood Comcast's system requirements on Friday afternoon. We spoke with four people who could not help us get the phone and TV working. All that was required was confirming we had moved but nobody seemed to know that we had to confirm the move to get activated. Very poor training of staff and extremely frustrating when you are moving to a new address. The last woman we spoke with did understand what was wrong. It just took a few days to find the right employee.

I have put up with Comcast for over 17 years. I went into Comcast after they took over Adelphia. The Comcast techs and customer service just continue to get worse and worse. My combined bill each month for phone, internet, and tv was over $200.00. Do you think they would value a high paying customer? My phone, internet, and tv all started acting up and I woke up to find none of them working. After speaking to a different customer service person for each device and getting frustrated to the max with each one's ineptness.. I finally asked for someone to come to my home.
They made an appt for the next day between 1-3. They called and said he was running late and would it be okay if he came at 4pm. It got to be 6pm and still no tech or call from Comcast. At 7pm, being very frustrated at sitting here all day waiting for service, I rescheduled again for the next day at 8-12 noon. Again, no show by the tech person even after I confirmed at 10am that someone was still honoring this appt. I must have talked to seven different customer service people over these two days. They keep saying they are sorry but never follow through... you keep getting passed over from one person to the next without anyone taking care of you.
At 1pm yesterday, after realizing once again that I was being stood up... I decided to leave Comcast after many many years of poor treatment from them. I am having DirecTV installed and using Verizon phone and Internet. While I have heard stories about these companies too.... nothing can be as horrible as Comcast...
Whoever is the head of the company needs to go! They need to drastically fix the frontline here meaning those individuals dealing with public. I have enjoyed Comcast TV but honestly, I just can't deal with being treated like a piece of crap especially with the amount of money that I am billed each month by them...it is really too bad that they have monopoly on cable, phone, and internet in my area. I need the internet to work from home..and I need to be treat with respect. I waited and waited but my time is obvious not important to them...

I researched for Comcast on the internet and then called Comcast to speak to a representative. I told her the services I wanted and ask what Comcast had to offer in my area as a new customer. I was given a bundle package for television and internet for $79.99 a month, with the total monthly fee of $103.00 after taxes & fees were added with a 2-year agreement. I was also to receive a $250.00 Visa gift card as a bonus for signing up for the bundle deal. I agreed to allow Comcast to become my service provider based on this agreement.
The Comcast representative emailed me a very detailed summary showing all services I would receive and a breakdown of all monthly charges. Based on this information, I allowed their equipment to be installed in my home. After the installation, I asked the installer about how I would receive my first bill and my Visa gift card. He was clueless but said I should just call 1 800 Comcast.
I called and spoke to another Comcast representative who told me not to worry, I would receive my first bill in the mail in a few days. Almost two weeks later, I received a bill for over $136.00 instead of the $103.00 that I had in writing. I checked the bill carefully to see if it was extra charges for more the one month, it was NOT. I called Comcast yet again and explained my experience in great detail. I was asked to forward them my email with my offer which I did while on the phone with them. I was told that it would be no problem to change my bill to the price I was offered, they were just having difficulty adjusting the account and would take care of it within 24 hours.
I was called back later that day and told that they would NOT honor the agreement that they made with me because their representative was using outdated equipment and gave me a package that no longer existed. I spent quite some time on the phone with Comcast, including speaking to supervisors. I was told the only way I could keep my services was to agree to pay a higher price for same package which was $40.00 more a month from my written offer.
I ask the supervisor to email me the information he was telling me over the phone so that I would have the information in writing. He told me that he had no way of sending an email to me! I ask him to have a representative or service provider to remove their equipment from my home. He told me they would NOT send anyone to remove the equipment, I would have to do it myself. So now I am left with a decision, remove and return equipment myself or pay their extortion fees. In my opinion, this is a clear case of FRAUD and unfair business practices. Be careful if you choose to do business with this company!

You have to haggle to get the right billing. They can add random charges to your bill, such as "HD fee". Rude customer service. If there are 4 people, all 4 living in the same area, having the same package and same start date; they would still get different billing. It all depends on which rep you talk to or how good you are at haggling. People are being too generous here with the "one star" rating. This company deserves a 0 and public humiliation.

I have been a Comcast customer since before they were Comcast. I moved into my apartment in Feb. of this year and after a week or so, ordered cable.

WHAT! I just had this for about a week.. LATE! The nightmare has begun....
5/16/15 - Called customer rep. and a supposed resolution specialist. I was told they will escalate this and have it resolved. I explained past due is not mine and needs to be credited.

ARGGGGG! Called back talked to csr and then transferred to billing person and they seemed helpful and put a trouble ticket in for issue. Gave me a ticket # and sounded legit.
5/22 - Did not hear from anyone so I decided to call back - call disconnected.. ARGGGG! Called back and talked to csr that states ticket closed with no resolution..(WTF!.. said to self.) Oh I forgot to mention that the technician that came out on 5/14 took one of the digital adapters that belonged to my previous cable\ internet provider. (Why the hell would they do this! It did not even belong to Comcast.) I talked with csr and they seemed that they would take care of this. States not able to credit all today but should be credited by 5/27. Csr was very helpful and states will follow up on equipment that was taken as well. Csr even gave me an extension where they can be reached and specific 855 phone # to call as well.

Problem with my TV pixelating. About 25+ phone calls to Comcast located everywhere but in the United States. After no resolution of the problem and the exchange of 2 Xfinity cable boxes, the lack of customer service only got worse. The second cable box and remote I was given I took home and setup. The remote control would only work the volume... nothing else.
I went to Comcast the next morning and was given a replacement remote I was assured would work correctly. Before I left Comcast, I put the batteries in it, looked up the code for the TV they have in their lobby, and tried out the remote. It would only control the volume. When I went back to the "customer service" girl who gave the remote and pointed that out to her, she replied "Oh, that remote won't work with the box you have. Here's the right remote." It is no wonder that Comcast has no customer service middle or upper management people you can talk to about poor service experiences. THEY JUST DON'T CARE!

I asked 5 tv's be connected only 3 were for the first week. My DISH network remote actually controlled my tv, not their remote. Really, then I am told I need to problem solve for myself, by a technician trying to help me reprogram my remote. As the woman is going through the universal numbers for my tv, none of them are working, so I told the lad and she said, "Well, they have to they are the ones we use", then she tells me "Wee, let's do this over again together".
WHAT, you're not talking to a child. Another one named ** may as well have told me I was lying when I told him of the contract I have he insists there is no promotion like I have... Hmmm as if I made this contract myself. seriously. I originally emailed Tom K. with a response from everyone except him. I order a pay per view event the day after installation, 47 minutes the "Fight" lost signal for and they had to send signal to my tv again... Seriously I previously had only internet, so I chose a triple bundle because of the offer extended to me. Now I have been charged for the internet at $66.95 from my checking account, yet my bill shows a $50.00 credit, for what, I don't know. 22 days after initial installation, I have no resolution to what my issues were. I am now going to seek reconnection for Dish network and Vonage phone service and I do expect Comcast to pay for any cost incurred for reinstallation.
Why should I have to fax email or call any information to Comcast when I gave them the contract number and the representative's name? Why has my blood pressure been out the roof just dealing with these people? Why can't they honor their commitment to providing customer service period. I am so discouraged that I should have to now reconnect another service, ensure that I am off from work to have this service installed. I cannot tell you how the lack of training has so frustrated me. Worst experience I have ever had with a company. The 22 days and counting that they have taken off my time is seriously ridiculous.
My advice to them is 1) grow your people, through proper training; 2) build your brand, by honoring your commitment to a minimum of quality service; 3) If you have a dispute resolution team, teach the resolution; 4) teach Integrity, and hire the right people for the right positions; and 5) teach Empathy. Would they be as frustrated if this were them in my position? And when you have to go through 10 people, when you emailed the CEO, without even an apology from him, because that is who I addressed the email, says a lot about the concern they have for your issues. I am over it. They have consumed more than enough of my time and my energy, trying to play phone tag and email tag because guess what I have a job too.

I can't recall how much the bill was but it was way more than told. Called the rep, was told service fees and whatever else they had to tack on. So we paid the price. The monthly payment stayed the same for the next 7 months, then our bill started increasing slowly. It was increased by $2.84, no biggy for 3 months. The supposedly last month of our promotion went up to $51.
We called and asked why our rate was increase? Rep said, "The bill is half promotion and half regular bill." Are you serious? I was so furious. Told husband to cancel. But apparently we're past the day to cancel? Total bs. So we paid bill. Rep told us that we can cancel our service the latest on May 20 for no service fees and won't be billed. So that day came. Husband try to cancel service. But was talked into their new promo. The promo was 80 channels, HBO for 12 months, no contract with 105 mbps internet for $69.99 + $10.00 for the modem a month. We were also told that the channels would include sports, kids shows, and home and cooking shows. I told him, "No." But he was excited for the "supposedly money saving deal" so he went ahead and purchased the promo.
That was yesterday. Today we canceled the service. Why? As we were on the phone with a rep last night because our channels weren't showing a lot of shows, the rep informed us that we got the economy package and that has 25 channels only plus HBO channels (only 4 channels). Wtf! We asked, "Why would the rep tell us we are getting 80 channels?" She answered, "IDK." My husband ask if she can see who was the rep who talked to him and she told us she couldn't see any comments or the name of the rep. Total bs.

My wife and I decided that we were moving and that we needed to transfer our Comcast services to our new location. There really aren't many other internet/TV options. When we called to transfer our services, we were told that we could get a rate of $89.99/month for exactly the same services we currently had. When asked to set a date for installation, I suggested that we could take care of it ourselves, but was told that wasn't an option and that the installation was mandatory. There was no mention of any additional fee for the installation.
When I received my first bill, it was over $300, including a $129.99 charge for our services and nearly $200 for installation. We called to clarify the bill and were told that the deal we'd agreed to (for $89.99/month) had expired, in spite of the fact that we'd agreed to it when it was in effect. After speaking to five different customer service representatives, we failed to come to a resolution except that they didn't feel inclined to honor their prior agreement, but that they might drop the rate to $109.99/month. We made no progress with the unannounced installation charge.
Regardless of how this ends, Comcast's customer service has been absolutely atrocious and their tactics are shady, at best. If there were another reasonable choice for these services, I would be using it. This is also not the first time that I've had to fight with Comcast.

This company is the worst company ever. I wasted 7 weeks of my time to get service. The right hand doesn't know the left hand. I was told we can have service. We had service before and now I'm being told after 7 weeks and 7 days of lost pay from work told can't service our home. A tech came out, said line too far from box, need third party to come out. Schedule as he told me and then still no one came out after three calls and rescheduling of which someone was going to be coming out next Tuesday. I called them because I got confirmation and the fees were 110.00 more. Called 4 times. Last contact, was told order was cancelled. This company SUCKS with a capital S and I can't believe they are still in business even to the point we got a call them wanting us to tv too. How can a company run like this and service? They have no clue customer have rights, shouldn't of been lied to and they shouldn't of wasted my time for 7 weeks.
I was told they kept putting orders in and canceling because they get paid by each order. They should pay me for 7 weeks of wasted time and I mean hours and hours on the phone. I will be sure to tell everyone of this company even to supervisor not knowing a clue how to read notes. Also they had open several accounts on our home.

I have been with Comcast for twenty years and they have gotten worse in the years I have been with them. They tried to charge me for movies that I did not rent. I signed a contract for one amount of money and when I looked at my bill it was more. I tried to talk to them and get the bill straight, I got nowhere. What I don't understand is why my bill is one price one month and a different price the next month. I have not changed anything and I do not rent movies. The only thing I can think of is they will try and steal from you. AT&T got caught doing the same thing and Comcast is doing the same thing. Do they think the public is crazy or they just don't give a damn.

Do not use Comcast if you have any other choice - they are the worst company in the US and I hate giving them a one star rating. Recently moved into a new home and it took over three months to get the lines buried. They only came to bury it after service was lost due the cable being driven on. I have now been without service for two weeks due to line cut from utility work. The service dept is inept and and impossible to contact. I have called daily spending an average time of an hour on the phone setting up a repair appointment and no one has come to repair the line. Stay far away from this company.

We had Comcast services for a total of 1.5 years. For the first part of that we only had internet at our old address, we moved and decided to take Comcast internet with us and add the TV service (what a mistake!). They messed up out move in EVERY way possible. They canceled the service 3 weeks early at our original address and sent the new equipment to the original address when they should have sent it to the new address.
This totally messed up my bill and left me with 2 accounts! It took hours and hours of ME on the phone telling THEM how to fix this mistake since they had no idea how to fix it. The service at our new house has been TERRIBLE. Internet and TV working appropriately at the same time has happened maybe a handful of times. I have received so many credits from them since they were not providing me with what I was paying for. They have screwed up so many things.
Customer service has NO IDEA what they are doing. They refused to give me for a missed appointment credit even though I saved proof of every convo I had with them and showed them the appointment was missed. I am SO happy to be switching to Verizon next week. When I canceled my service they said "we see you have not had appropriate working service for a while, we can give you 2 months free." Not even for free service would I stay with Comcast.

Just over a year ago, I initiated a chat session with Comcast as I had questions regarding their Xfinity Home service. The initial tech explained the service and options and at that point mentioned that there would be an $399 installation charge plus the cost of any additional equipment beyond the package I selected. After he explained all of that to me, I told him that the installation charge was too much. He mentioned that he could probably get the primary installation charge (399.00) waived so I continued to pursue based on that. I let him know what I was interested in getting and he ran down all the cost, and then told me that if I would go with the package that we just talked about, he would waive the installation. I agreed to that package based on this. At one I asked what the fee would be to cancel the service and he said the early termination fee would be $150.00.
Note that I talked to two different people that day. ** was my initial contact and ** was the sales person once the order was nailed down. After attaching to **, I confirmed again about the primary installation charge and he did confirm that they would be waived. After I received my first bill, I did notice that they started billing me for the installation so I called and chatted with them several times regarding it with no resolution. I must say that I actually have a copy of the complete chat and have proof in it what I was promised. I faxed that to them and the last response I received was someone calling me telling me that what I was promised in the chat doesn't matter, because when I signed the paperwork that the tech had when they showed up is what I agreed to. I think this is tacky at the least.

I wish I had read these reviews before I got Comcast but I thought that most angry reviews must just be people that can't be pleased. I mean how could a company stay in business if they are horrible. Well, these reviews are 100% accurate. I need not even type my complaints as they are all stated in the other reviews here. Also, I just got off of a customer service "chat" that lasted over an hour and a half! Liars, thieves, con artists, all accurate. I do think that I managed to get the best excuse of all though. It would be funny if I just heard this story and it didn't happen to me. I have had certain channels since I ordered my service. A few channels I am very particular about and would never, ever order service if I didn't get those channels. Since January I have had those channels. Had the original installer out who installed service, checked my package with my channels and everything was right.
Two weeks ago I lost all of my channels except the major networks and public access, installer sent out who switched the box verified my channels and I was good to go. The next week (last week) I lost my channels, AGAIN. But this time the "customer service" rep, who should be renamed customer DISservice rep, told me that I never should have had those channels and that it was because of a "CABLE LEAK" that had been corrected so I should only get the major networks and public access. Now, I have heard a lot of BS in my time on this planet but I am pretty sure a "cable leak" wins the prize for most unbelievable. I hate liars and unless you do like liars and being lied to, do not get Comcast! If you do, get every detail sent to you in writing, record calls, screen shot chats, etc.
This chat I did screen shot, so I have hard proof of the ridiculous "Cable Leak" excuse given by the representative but still don't have my channels, lost a lot of my evening dealing with lying representatives who were reading from some book of canned responses for customer service reps in other countries. I wish there was less than one star ratings. : ( Very disgruntled customer. Wish a news station would do an expose on Comcast!

I am writing this as the Comcast truck pulls up to my place for the third time in 22 days. I started my service at the end of April. Since then I have one of two TV's working and almost didn't get on this site because my internet is so slow it won't log me on to sites or shuts me down. Since I moved in I have made approximately 10 or 12 calls to Comcast, one which I with some remorse admit meant screaming at a supervisor. Each time I am promised that someone will investigate it; notes are being writing; supervisors will be informed; tickets are being written so the outside work that the guy on April 1st said was needed was going to passed along... at yet here I am May 17th with the same problem. What is equally pathetic is I was sent a bill and told I had to pay it and later, once the repairs are made they will credit my account for the services that were unavailable.
I guess they think that a. I believe anything they say and b. I just climbed out from under a rock. I am new to Comcast. For 16 years I had a very, uncomplicated relation with Verizon. I live in an area where Comcast has a contract with the city so no one else can compete. Seems to me that used to call that a business monopoly back in the day and it was outlawed. So the guy here is doing the exact same thing the other one did... looking at my TV, looking out front, looking out back, looking in the basement, etc. Once he, like everyone else, determines he can't fix the problem I am supposed to have him call his 'person' and we are to have a conference call so I can get names, numbers, and verbal account of what the next thing to be done and a date in which I should, ha ha, expect it to be done. Bottom line if I didn't need internet for work, or could find another way to get it, I would toss Comcast out the proverbial door. I am furious; I have never had to deal with such liars, such incompetency, and a company that does not care about the consumer one bit.
Well surprise surprise the technician just left telling me the same thing... that some underground lines need to be put in. I spoke to the 'acting' supervisor who told me Comcast doesn't do that, but sends it to another company so who knows if a ticket was written, if this phantom company will ever do it, and sadly this is news to me and means one more hoop to go through and probably not have anything good come from it [why think positively after 22 days of this nonsense].
That is all I need to write. Comcast is a company that should have been shut down and/or fined years ago. I should be reimbursed not only for my lack of service, but for my time having to spend three days sitting around for 2-3 hours, and my emotional distress being lied to and having people say they will follow-up with me and don't. Nothing like feeling a total sense of not having any control. Thanks Comcast for making my moving to a new place more annoying than necessary.

I got fed up with Uverse's charges for service earlier this year. I called Comcast for their regular internet service, no cable, no phone, no bundle, no contract... Cool.... Done... As soon as it was hooked up, the internet service was spotty... on again, off again. Not happy.
After a month of having Comcast, I called to complain. Service person arrived, problem solved. Another month later, I called to upgrade the internet speed.... it was done. But while on that call, the sales person told me I could get "Triple Play" for only $10 more per month. I specifically told this person that I didn't want ANY contract! It was taken care of... My total package with TriplePlay was supposed to be $99/month. With tax, I figured another $8 to $10.
Bill comes in the next month (April) and I see a bill that in no way reflects a $99 package. The bill is for $129 for that month. No way I'm paying that. I tell them "I am sorry, but I never hooked up cable tv... I want to return the equipment and cancel this TriplePlay deal." Then I am told there will be a $230 "early termination" charge from my "2-year contract".
To anyone who might consider getting Comcast, please be warned.... it's taken me over 12 phone calls over the past 3-4 weeks... I'd say a total of 5-7 hours of time wasted, and according to the rep I last spoke to, the problem has been resolved. But first, they have bill me the $230 and then credit it back to me 48-hours later. The saga continues... Whenever you speak to anyone at Comcast, be STRONGLY advised to get not only the rep's name, but his/her operator # AND the confirmation number of your call. If they say that a supervisor gave them the ok to do something, get the supervisors name too!!!
So far as I am concerned Comcast is engaging in predatory sales practices. They claimed they had a recording of me telling them I accepted the 2-yr contract. I defied them to get a copy of this recording me.... Of course, there was no recording, and nobody ever got back to me. They are beastly and as soon as this problem is resolved, and I have a credit for the "early termination" fee, I am moving my service back to Uverse or someone else. I would heartily recommend avoiding Comcast unless you feel like spending countless hours on the phone.... And if you do have Comcast, and you do have a problem TAKE GOOD NOTES.... Only your persistence will get them to do anything.

I ended up paying them anyway, then this happened for another two months.. (The second month was $140, the third was $154) and I called the 2nd and third month FURIOUS.
The third phone call I spoke to a representative who told me that $120/month plan had already expired. I told him I was locked into that rate for a year.. Where after getting frustrated with me, he transferred me to another representative who told me that the first guy was completely wrong and that they were charging me for premium channels that I didn't have!!! After telling them that that is their mistake, not mine, they refused to take responsibility but did remove the unjustified charges from my account.
Well that ordeal was a couple months ago, but literally I have had to call every single month to Comcast, just to refute the bill. Today I had enough and finally cancelled service once and for all.

After talking to the only nice Rep. that I thought was going to make me forget all the bad experiences with this company. I thought wrong. On March 2015, I received another bill, as if COMCAST was still my cable and internet service. I spoke again with someone that got everything resolved. And on May 2015, I receive a letter from collections, because I still owe COMCAST a month of service. I really don't know what to do.

My bill used to be due towards the end of each month. I have been a prompt paying Comcast customer for over 4 years now. Never had a late payment. Now I see that Comcast has changed their pymt due dates and these new dates were computer generated, as I imagine they were in the past also. My new payment date is now at the beginning of the month, which does not work well for me as I am on a limited income and only receive my pension in the middle of each month. That is when I set up their payment. I called and told them the problem and asked if they could kindly change my due date to towards of the month again. I was told no, can't be done. My payment is 76.00 so I figured I had grace period of at least a week, having done a little research on their grace period. So I would pay it on May 13 (it's due May 7).
Today I double-checked the amt and was shocked to see I now owe 161.50. I called Comcast and asked, "What gives? No grace period?" Cs service lady said my grace period would be only 2 days since my bill was due 7th and the next bill is cut on the 10th. I asked her again if I could change the due date. No, not possible, she said but suggested I get ahead of the game and pay mid-month for the following month. I told her, yes I know that but this arrangement is not workable for me and I may need to look into at&t again. I am paying the 161.50 on the 13th, but this is totally ludicrous.
I have never had a late pymt in all these yrs, now all of a sudden one late pymt that is unvoidable plus a really generous "grace period" of 2 days for a person with ltd income and still toes the line and pays their bills on time?

When I asked them why my bill went from only less than $100 to at least $150, they said it was because I was always late. Ok? I get being late and charged late fees or restoration fees but NOW knowing they changed my plan they claimed was no longer available to being billed separately now just pisses me off. The rep said she can put me on a plan that is lower, gives me free HBO, yadda yadda blah, and NOTHING WILL CHANGE. I said "OK!" Turns out I'm still paying about the same but they put me on a 2 YR AGREEMENT for the Triple Play which has phone service. Who needs phone service nowadays.

This has been the most frustrating and time consuming venture I have ever encountered. I am just about ready to have you come and take all of the cable equipment out of this house. #1 I called and asked for the Blast Plus package. The woman told me that that no longer existed and it was now called Internet Plus. I asked about the channels and was told that it was only 29, but I specifically asked for a package that included Hallmark. She assured me that it did.
#2 Installation. The gentleman was very nice but had a very hard time getting it set up. He had to call Comcast at least 4 times. The installation took over 4 hours! I was about to start charging him rent. As soon as he left we realized this was definitely NOT the requested package. TV consisted of ABC, NBC, CBS, Many Access Channels, Many "sales" channels, and cartoons. No Hallmark. All the boxes were $10 HD boxes. HBO was supposed to be included and that apparently was the ONLY HD channel in this package. Why would anyone pay for that package?
We took all the equipment out of the house and took it back to Comcast in Snellville. A nice man checked the equipment in Snellville. We told him we wanted the Blast Plus and he set us up with a package. The Blast Plus includes Hallmark and Hallmark Movie channel, this did not. It also did not include HGTV and many other channels that the real Blast Plus does include. He did not add the 2 small boxes to the account.
So we had one television working while being charged for 3. I called to complain and told the person all the hassle and hours that I had been on the phone. Trying to get through has caused many disconnects. Every time someone is routing a call they hang up. I have no less than 17 phone calls trying to get this service set up. After visiting Comcast store, the account was set up and the monthly payment showed up as $79.99. Blast Plus is $59.99 He sent me to Resolutions.
Resolutions talked with me and checked all the notes. He agreed that I had been put through too much. I told him all I wanted was the Blast Plus as it was advertised. He told me that he would make it better. He did not give a package name but told me it would be 120 channels, Blast internet and would be $54.95 a month. I had him repeat it three times to be sure. This switch was still not handled correctly. We have three boxes and only 2 get all the channels promised. I asked the man to send me a confirmation to my GMail account. He sent it to the Comcast account which I do not use.
We have three boxes and only 2 are getting the promised channels. I called to have a signal sent to the box that is not working correctly and was told that we have 105 channels and that HGTV and Travel are not part of the package. Funny the other two Boxes do get these and many more channels. He then transferred me to Resolutions 10:30 on Saturday Night. After many minutes of "we are sorry, your call is very important to us" I ended up hearing a recording that the Resolutions Dept was closed and to call back on Monday.
Now I look at the confirmation that Resolutions sent to the wrong email address and it is over $100 per month. This whole case is ridiculous as are most of your policies. I was a client for over 7 years but seeing all the deals go to "new" customers only made me mad enough that I disconnected until I could come back in as a new customer. Faithful customers should not be treated like that. Particularly ANY person should not be lied to, not once, not twice but three times (so far). I do not have a working package. If this cannot be resolved to my liking, you can pick up all the equipment and I owe NOTHING $0.00.

First of all, I just have internet service with Comcast; I discontinued TV service about 2 or 3 years ago. I called Comcast because they had a wire coming into house for my modem (I own) which did not have a boot for switching out wire lengths. Also on the exterior of my house there was no caulk around the wire so ants and other insects were getting in. About a week after the technician corrected the wire problem they sent me TV equipment which I did not order and Comcast told me I had to return it myself to a UPS service of their choice. My time my gas and I have disabilities.
Now about 2 or 3 weeks later, I now have a blank screen popping up when I'm on the internet with just a title bar with "Join Infinity" and a lower bar with a web address and with just a blank screen, so you can only click the X or wait for it to disappear. This is only happening on my bedroom computer where Comcast wanted to put the TV service I DID NOT order. It is especially aggravating when I am streaming video on YouTube. Comcast pressured me so much about getting their TV service that at one point I said I'd think about it, but NEVER said yes, which should be on their recordings. I also called after that and said NO.
I have called Comcast at least 5 times since the wire was repaired and I get people who can speak English, but don't seem to understand it. You have to constantly repeat yourself and then they connect you to the wrong departments. This is very unprofessional customer service and if there was another broadband provider in my area with good streaming and competitive pricing, I would definitely leave Comcast and I have been a loyal customer since the 80s when they were AT&T Broadband who also paid her bill on time. When I was down in Florida for a year in 2006, I got better service at a cheaper rate from the internet broadband provider for Tampa, FL. I believe their name was Bright House.
In conclusion I feel I have gotten nowhere on all my calls to Comcast and am very frustrated. I have also noticed other people having similar issues posting on the internet. If I had better computer skills I would put up a website where people get together and file a class action lawsuit, because unfortunately I feel that is the only way to get Comcast corporate heads to listen. If you can pass this on to the FCC, I and probably many other people would appreciate it.

Comcast would send out bills to me every other month and they would charge a late fee for the month in between that they don't. I'd call to complain; sometimes they would adjust the fee and other times they don't. You really need to review your bill and the charges Comcast puts on there. Shameful!!!

Bundle package I have changed when I received my new router/modem combo about a year ago. I called to report problem with my phone, even wanted to drop my phone service. I was paying for something I wasn't receiving. After several failed attempts through phone calls and being on the phone with Comcast being transferred over and over and usually giving up as I am very busy, I finally reached someone who took the time to fix my service. She said I also was only receiving 65% of my signal. She was very helpful and told me to call a specific department to be reimbursed for not receiving full service. I called the number, told my story and got the same runaround as before. I finally spoke with a supervisor who told me they could only credit me $45. I am very upset and dissatisfied. Especially when I am paying $30 a month for 10 months that I was not getting service. I want my money back!

I have had Comcast for 2 months. The first bill was 350 dollar for the 3 bundle. Was charged from when I call before set up 2 weeks later. Also the guy took 4 hr to put it in. Also they had the package wrong. Had to call in and have the turn on the movie channels and demand. Also had to call and get my DVR. Had to call and get bill straightened out and had to call a week later. Finally the guy got it and sent out the DVR but they sent one that was incorrect and had to get a tech out to replace it .
Got and extra 70 dollars on my bill. They took off 157 and put on another 67. So my first bill was 194 then got my second bill for 212. Supposed to be 137. So called again and they took off 55 for the tech coming out but still had to pay the 212. But they said that my next bill will be 93 dollars for my next bill. So far totally dysfunctional on their services and they do not like to transfer to their boss because they don't have a clue on how to correct their issues. They gave me 30 dollars coupon for people per view. So what, get the bill right. The online bill never matches or reflects the bill in the mail.

I had cable services installed this morning. Within an hour after the technician left one of the cable boxes failed. I spent more than an hour on their tech support "chat" and repeatedly asked to actually talk with an agent. Finally I was able to talk to a tech support person by phone and spent nearly an hour and a half going through self diagnostics only to determine the cable box is defective. They are unable to send someone out with a replacement even when the box was defective within an hour of installation.
I said they either could send someone out to replace the box or remove their equipment and I would cancel the service. Since my wife made the service arrangements, I was told I was not authorized to order a repair. She is out of town for several days and so I do not have service on one of my TVs for at least a week. This service sucks. My previous cable provider in another city has live agents to call 24/7 and would have sent someone out immediately. Forget Comcast if you have other options.

I called Comcast customer service (disservice) to complain about the fact my service rate had been increased $20, $20 and $40 for the past three years. I was transferred to a manger. She said that she was sorry for that and she could put me on a new plan which would reduce my rate, but I would need to switch my receiver box with the new version. And that she would also send me a free camera for my front door as a bonus. I told her that I do not want a security package for I already have a security system in my house. She said that this is a single camera and not a security system, plus it's free. I said thanks. Few days later, I received a box containing the new receiver box and remote. I never received any camera. I called them and asked about the camera. The agent did not know what I was talking about! Later I noticed that I was being charged more than what I was told.
Few phone calls later, I am told that the extra charges were because I have home security package. I told them that I never ordered a security package and I never received any equipment for it anyway. The agent said that he will cancel the security package from my bill even though it was 3 days over the 30 day cancellation period. I just received my new bill. Lo and behold there is $220 early termination fee for the security system package which I never ordered or received any parts for. So I called again. The agent never let me talk to a supervisor. She kept repeating that because I had ordered the package I have to pay the early termination charges. She even acknowledged that there was a note from a prior conversation which agent had told me that they would waive those charges. But, now it is due to a supervisor to "actually" waive or not waive those charges!
This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with. I believe it is their company policy to trick customers into different packages without explaining everything that they have planned to extract more money from you. This is not the first time. A similar thing had happened to me with them many years ago. By the way, I have had Comcast for over ten years. They don't care. I am so disgusted with corporate culture in America. Is there not a government agency that can put a stop to this systematic highway robbery?

Year after year my family suffers from Comcast's awful service and it's getting worse. We have been trying to get through their automatic voice service after work hours but it hangs up on us every time! There is absolutely no way to talk to any representative after 7 pm. We tried to go on-line and requested for password change but unlike other companies they don't allow you to do so unless you call them! Another problem with Comcast is their cheating - they would increase your bill all of a sudden or do telemarketing with you promising free service and, if you agree, would add new service and charge you, and you would have a hard time to convince them you did not request any new paid service. I am sure if they would not survive fair competition if we had a choice to go elsewhere.

I ordered Triple Play with COMCAST RESIDENTIAL (CR) on or about 3/16/2015 from ** in Colorado Springs and it has been painful since then. My internet and phone were initially with COMCAST BUSINESS (CB). CB was difficult to work with in transitioning phone and email addresses to the CR account. I really went through 15 different agents to get switched over, and after 36 hours the transition was finally made; however it appears that I am having to pay both CB and CR for 60 days until my "termination" from CB takes effect. This double pay does not make sense as both residential and business are under the primary company, Comcast.
In my current CR account it shows my phone as "awaiting activation" but phones have been working in CB for several years and are still. Either they are waiting for the 60 days to be up or it seems like someone either can't flick the switch from CB to CR or won't. What can be done? Is there a time line apparent? It appears that over 500 people may have the same issue. Comcast only allows "chat" support. It is not possible to document an issue with email, and have a service representative respond. Chat services are long, enduring episodes that typically end with no resolve.

From top to bottom, Comcast has demonstrated how evil and disgusting a monstrous company can be. From the start, when Comcast scheduled an appointment, they did not show up or did not show up on time. When they came to the house, they didn't know what they were doing. I later found out they were "just contractors" Comcast hired to do the installation - they were "not" Comcast employees! Then when it came to billing, Comcast almost always made "errors", which took a lot of my energy and time to get them straightened out!
All in all, Comcast is only good at one thing: raising my blood pressure and effectively reduce the quality of my life. So, word of advice: stay away from Comcast if you want to live a happy and low-stress life! Comcast is an example of incompetence mixed with GREED, made-in-China level of service, and "we-are-too-big-to-care" attitude. Comcast is what Hitler would be proud of as a company that represents his ideology: GREED+EVIL.

I recently moved from an apartment to a town home and found out I have no line of sight for DirecTV blocked by trees... So I was forced to go through Comcast and they ripped me off... I paid on my internet yet they never credited a count - that was first strike. I was told my first bill would be 121.00. Well my first bill was 318 because of a bunch of hidden fees and cost not disclosed... I told them I will be paying the 121 the amount I signed up for and will be disputing the remainder in litigation... If you like throwing your money down the toilet being treated like crap and working with liars, then go with Comcast. I don't so I cancelled.
There is nothing on TV worth the mental anguish and stress this company will put you through... If you like honest company who gives you good service I highly recommend DirecTV.

I've had Comcast for over a decade and have dealt with internet going out every single month, multiple times a month. I literally cannot count how many times they've came to our house, rewired everything, changed all the hardware, and the problem still persists. Comcast has shown by example that the problem is not the hardware or the wiring; the problem is Comcast. Over the course of 3 weeks I documented each time the internet stopped working, and I have the exact date and time for over 20 occasions when the internet went out, just within 3 weeks. Keep in mind, I was only able to document those times for when I was actually trying to use the internet. Who knows how many times it stopped working when I wasn't on the computer.
I've grown tired of writing down how many times it goes out simply because it goes out way too much to keep on documenting it. To make matters worse, I'd say 70% of the time I talk to customer service or a rep comes out to the house, you can totally tell they hate their job and don't care about quality service. They just want to get in and get out so they can get their free pay check. There are a couple of hard workers, but most seem to care less and are all in a bad mood, which makes the situation worse when both parties are in a bad mood. I'd never recommend Comcast to anyone, and thank goodness I am young so I can do the world a service by voicing against Comcast for the next 70 years. I will do my best to take every opportunity I can to tell people EXACTLY what I think of Comcast. Oh one more thing -- outrageous prices. Don't even get me started on that!

After two months I realized that the transfer had not gone through, so I called them again in January only to be told that it would not be possible to transfer the service.

This was on February 2nd.
Two months went by and on April 2nd I received a bill at my new address accompanied by a letter from a collections agency. It took me 3 calls to even get to the point where I was told that the bill was for the early termination fee, and they informed me that bills had been sent to my previous address (that I had informed them prior to my move I was leaving). I am livid as this bill, which Comcast already told me that I didn't owe, is going to be begin affecting my credit on May 5th, 2015. Eventually I spoke to someone in Customer Solutions that informed me that the refund had been applied to my account on April 2nd, 2014; however, it makes no sense to me that a refund would be applied to an account while simultaneously sending the bill to a collections agency.
Comcast has repeatedly misguided and misinformed me to the point that I do not believe anything any customer service agent has told me.

I made it repetitively clear I just wanted the basic cable and internet bundle. Every 2 or 3 minutes the woman came back, told me the same redundant line "I'm just trying to find the best package for you". Not sure what's so hard about finding the bottom line cable and internet bundle. An hour later she assured me I had exactly what I asked for PLUS DVR for $85.99. My second experience was when the cable guy came and set up my cable, told me I did NOT get internet, and couldn't get my cable to work. He advised me to go into the service center and speak with someone in person.
My third experience was at the customer service center when I found out that the woman I initially spoke with did not give me a cable/internet bundle for $85.99 but in fact signed me up for a $120.00 cable NO INTERNET service. The service center guy fixed her wrong doing, advised me to call and complain and have my first phone call pulled/listened to, and assured me I wasn't going to have a deposit. I actually saw the "customer approved, no deposit required" on his screen with my own eyes. So now my fourth experience was when a new guy came to set up my internet and fix my cable, which come to find out the first guy set it up wrong. This process took 3 weeks (remember, I still have no working cable or internet). I called to complain and have that phone call pulled and my price adjusted. I was told a supervisor would contact me within 24/48 hours. I never heard from anyone.
I called again, was transferred 5 times before I could complain again, and again was told someone would respond within 7 days. Never heard from anyone. Now I have my first bill which showed a $150.00 deposit (the one the service center guy assured me I wouldn't have) a $30.00 charge for a modem that was supposedly shipped to me (this never happened… I had a modem the whole time and never needed one shipped, never asked for one, nor did they even ship me one on accident. I was just charged for this) and I was charged for the 3 weeks of service when I didn't have cable or internet because of Comcast's mistakes.
So I called AGAIN, complained AGAIN, and AGAIN was told a supervisor would contact me that business day. I never heard from anyone. Yesterday I demanded to speak to a supervisor. The Customer Service Rep basically refused to let me speak to his supervisor after I clearly asked 2/3 times. I told him to either adjust my bill to my satisfaction or send someone to come pick up their equipment and I will call AT&T. Their response?

After researching I found out that a previous technician that had came to my house left equipment there. I had called to get a new box one day. Well, the tech that was supposed to come was running late and he sent another tech out. However when this tech came out he left two extra boxes at my house on my wall unit. Well I never looked for any extra equipment because when he left all I knew is that my cable was working so I didn't notice any extra equipment that was left. He brought this equipment into my home. All I know is he did what he was supposed to and left. The boxes were left unnoticed. However, he added those boxes that he left to my bill that were never hooked to anything in my home to get the monkey off of his back.
After calling that day and the technician advised I had been getting billed for equipment I hadn't used much less knew it was in my house. So he advised not to worry they would get my account credited. After calling back concerning getting the account credited I received someone else on the line that told me this would have to be done in installments. So I asked how would it be credited and they advised over a two or three year time frame. So that's when I asked to speak with someone in management. She advised that "We're not a bank so we're not about to credit you that money back all at once" even though they've already been paid cash they should've never been paid whenever they billed me. The technician that showed up that shouldn't have that day should have been held responsible. Because I didn't come into Comcast to pick their equipment up this was left in my home and was never hooked to anything.
So after speaking with her I was so furious I advised her she could cancel my service out. However, they kept it running until the end of January 2015. So now it's April and I have a bill collector calling my phone saying I owe them a 1000+. I advised them I only owed about 400 dollars and I was willing to pay what I owe. Well come to find out they had equipment still showing on my account and also that equipment that had been picked up that the technician had left. So I asked who in their right mind would pay for something they don't owe.
I called Comcast this morning and told them this needed to be corrected because they sent a technician out to my home and he collected any and all equipment and I signed off on it. Now they're telling me, "Oh well there's still 500 dollars worth of equipment out there." She advised me it would take 15 days to try and get this handled. I asked her in the mean time what am I to tell these creditors that are threatening to put this bill on my credit. She advised they would handle it, but I've heard this before.
I am very displeased with this service and the bill continuously would rise and they would always have some type of excuse why it raised. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. I pay my bills and I try to stay in good credit standing with people I do business with. I just don't care to pay someone for something that I never owed and have been paying for it for years before it was realized. I believe in doing what's right and I feel that just because you have this huge Corporation doesn't mean you can treat people anyway that you want to.

Why does the rep need to go into 2 spots to cancel a service. The rep I talked to today said she would take it off the past 2 bills and that's all they could do. She saw I had other credits on past bills so she implied the other 2 months I was overcharged was fine since I had other credits. I had other credits because my service was screwed up and I had to spend literally hours on the phone to correct it. When she saw I had credits she didn't care to do more and said she would take the $15 off. I had to ask if she meant the $15 for the two months and she said yes. So I will still have to go back in and check to see if she actually does take off the charges for both months.

Had the displeasure of having to contact customer service today. After past experiences you know you probably should take some headache medicine before calling. The picture on my tv was having problems and it had started last night and continued this morning. I called, after confirming your phone number, having you go thru all sorts of voice menus, entering the last 4 of your soc sec number etc etc. I got someone who I could barely understand. I had to go thru all the information that I had already verified on the automated menus again, last 4 of soc sec. etc .He then told me that my signal was fine and so they would need to schedule someone to come out and replace the cable box. He said if it was their problem it would be free, if not I'd have to pay.
I then suggested I just take the box into the local office and swap it. He informed me that I'd be charged a $15 'welcome fee kit' charge. I asked him why I would be charged if I was returning defective equipment. All he could say was, "I'm just telling you, you will have to pay." I told him I could not dedicate a half of a day to stay at the house and wait on them to come. He then told me that was the best option or I would have to pay to swap the box at the local office. Then as usual they begin to ask you. "Have I provided you with exceptional customer service? Are you happy that I resolved the issue?" I simply hung up the phone. Called back a bit later, went thru all the voice message prompts and finally it switched over to a customer service rep who promptly hung up the phone as soon as they answered it.
3rd try now. Got a lady that constantly assured me, "No Problem. I will take care of your issue," and then she is evidently going down a list of things to have you to do that's ridiculous. After wasting 10 mins doing these things I asked, "can you just please send a reset signal to my box and see if that fixes it?" She then said she had to check a few other things first. Then she said, "ok I found the problem. Your area is experiencing a problem and it's already been reported so there is no problem with your equipment."
Three calls and almost 1 hour of my time to find out what should have been told to me on my first call at the very beginning. Apparently checking to see if there is trouble in the area is not at the top of their list when troubleshooting your problem. They need you to unplug the tv, unplug the box, change channels etc before checking for problems in your area. That should be the very first thing they do. This company is amazingly bad. If there was any other option that was an improvement I'd change in a heartbeat but I've heard they are all bad.

My contract for DirecTV was up having been with them for 8 years...we trying to get away from long standing contracts. Called Comcast they said they no longer had contracts. I made sure they carried the stations that I watch such as Boomerang. Tech came out…but no Boomerang. The DVR worked in the living room but not in the bedroom. Called Comcast…they said they don’t carry Boomerang…but they gave me HBO free. Don’t care- we are not home enough to watch it or the 800 channels we do get. Tech been out three times because of DVR. DVR records half of programs- constant error messages, screen freezes- have to restart the box and on demand programs keeps saying “try again later”.
Called Comcast they reset the boxes. Works for a few days and then stops. It keeps happening. Household got tired of it, called and wanted to cancel. The rep said I was under contract for two years...another lie. Paying for services that do not work. Service is bad. Customer service lies, long hold times. Next step- putting in complaint to FCC, BBB. Took screenshots of TV with error messages. I was lied to from the first phone call. At least the Internet works.

COMCAST THE WORST. First of all you get transferred to 30+ people to fix one problem cause no one wants to do their job. Secondly they charge you for every little thing they give you, 12 month packages give you a discount for going paperless but never actually send you any sort of mail or anything telling you your 12 month "special" has been up and done therefore charging you upwards to twice the amount of money! Then when you want to add new services they can't get right and then you incur MORE charges for services you do not want or need. I wish there were more providers out here in the middle of nowhere where we currently are.

I generally had satisfactory experience with Comcast up until I moved from my apartment to my house in 11/14. I did have an issue with a piece of equipment that was returned through certified mail yet I was charged for the equipment monthly until I moved then I was charged for unreturned equipment. Several tickets and calls led to nowhere so I had given up on it. When I made the move in November to my house I had already set up with Mover-edge to transfer in October. While still in my apartment in October I realized that the Mover-edge didn't use my shut off and start date and instead canceled my current account and generated a new account "Unknown to me until late". So I called to turn back on the first account until November.
When I moved in to my home I was hit with a past due/ shut off notice one week into moving in, I was overpaid on the first account yet somehow a second account existed that ran at the same time. I paid the 250 dollar shut off notice bill and kept it moving along. I eventually cut the services down to the bare minimum in December. Then I got a notice stating I had another piece of equipment on my account "The same equipment that was returned over two years ago and also had to pay a unreturned fee." At this point I had enough. I contacted Verizon and had them come out to install their service in late January and I had Comcast set up to cancel in January I was told that the money from the first account would be paid in a check to me and I returned all of the existing equipment.
February comes by and I receive a 30 dollar bill from Comcast that I was more than happy to pay assuming this was the last bill. In March I receive a bill notice for 79 dollars I check my account and I am still a consumer of Comcast somehow. Between 6-10 separate calls from 2/20/15-4/25/15 to cancel service have been unsuccessful. I have been told I would be contacted by management three times. I was promised back pay and also the amount taken from the previous account.
Yet another month rolls by and I still have to pay the Comcast bill in order to avoid them from sending it to collections, although I was told not to worry about it and don't pay by two different Comcast employees. I can't even trust them not to bill me nonetheless not send a past due to collections because they said it was ok. I am in the hole for several hundred dollars from unreturned equipment fees that I have receipts for or certified mail receipts for with also paying late fees on bills that shouldn't have existed along with paying for a service I haven't even had the equipment for in over four months.

The worst experience ever. It's a shame I was paying for the $60 a month bundle with basic TV and internet. When I realized the basic channels were only about 10-15 channels I called to inquire about an upgrade which I was told was going to be a special $99 a month. I look at my account, one month I am being charged $150, next month $120. Hmmm all for one TV and a modem seems pretty odd when I was specifically told $99 a month. I have spoken with 6 different people in the past hour.
Had to use a different phone because every time I called from my cell phone and they see the number that is linked for my account I am connected to an account representative then hung up on. Called from a different phone and BAM was able to connect! One customer representative informed me I was only trying to receive free services and once I was appalled he would say something like that. I told him the situation and he hung up on me. LOL. Go figure.
Comcast hires only professionals with customer guaranteed satisfaction, correct? Smh awful business. How are they even still operating??? Complete scams, ripping people off, for basic channels and slow internet! Once my lease ends, I am never using Comcast again.

My business relationship with Comcast began June of 2014. I had recently moved into a rooming house with multiple cable hookups and wanted to get internet access. Since they are the only provider in the area I called their "customer service" number. I was told that I could easily go to the local office to pick up a self install kit to get up and running. So off I drove to the address they provided and upon entering discovered that I was given the address of their local marketing office! No worries, they gave me the correct address and I proceeded down the road to pick up my easy self install kit.
Got to the office-great service, got home, and hooked up my computer to the cable in my room. My computer was online, but my neighboring roommate lost his cable service. Apparently the line that was installed in my room was actually his, so called "customer service" and set up an appt to have a tech to install (costing me more $$$). Success! Internet was installed and all was well... but in March 2015 received a call from a Comcast telemarketer offering me cable tv service added to my internet for only 5.00 more a month! Good deal so I said why not, she proceeded to send me an easy self install kit.
Upon receipt, realized that with the way my cable was set up I could not self install. Did not want to pay for another tech to come out, so within 3 days took a trip to my local Comcast office and was assured that I would not be charged for the cable TV and my acct would return to the previous billing. Surprise! First week of April received a bill from Comcast. For the months prior to the telemarketing offer I was paying about $52.00 for internet service (overpriced in my opinion, but my only option). The bill was for $105.00!!!
Called the customer service # and spoke to a nice guy who said he could credit me $10.00 for the cable tv self install kit, but I would have to talk to a representative in special relations to resolve the rest. He did agree that I should not be charged double for the same service. After being on hold for several minutes special relations rep told me that although I was offered a 30 day money back guarantee by the telemarketer, and I did cancel the cable TV service within 3 days, the offer I signed up for 9 months previous did not exist anymore!
After going around in circles with her for several minutes she said she could sign me up for an "economy" internet plan for the same price I was paying previously (approx $52.00 with rented modem). She recommended that I pay my bill $95.00 (after the generous $10.00 credit!) and all would be resolved in my next billing period. So I checked out my acct online last week, and guess what??? I am still signed up for a cable TV and internet bundle for $105.00 month!!! I cannot deal with the telephone customer service" people anymore, so will return to my local Comcast office to cancel everything asap. People should not be treated this way!!!

My service was in installed at the above at the beginning of February and since it was installed there has not been a day that we have not experienced loss of service. On a daily basis we have loss of television from not being able to tune into the HD channels. No access to the guide guide. Cannot use the last program feature or having missing parts of recorded programs on the DVR. The Internet service is just as bad: speed lags, not being able to connect or it not connecting to the WI-Fi on devices. The phone service also drop calls, the user not being able to make a calls, (you can dial a number and the call never connects or it will go back to a dial tone), and when trying to make a call and never getting a dial tone.
Towards the end of February me and a family member were hired for a work from home position, we needed to have installed a phone line with no features: no call waiting, caller ID or voice-mail. I was offered a fax line, which the representative explained is just a plan line, no features. I stressed to them that there should not be anything extra on the line BUT a private number, so that no one can get that number. He assured me that there were NO features added.
I tested the line the day before the training end, (March 24th) and I find out that the number was not number that I was told was assigned to my account. I was originally given the phone number, **, (the number that I have now) but the representative insisted that the number began with **. I asked ONCE AGAIN, was there any features on my line and once again, I was told no. I took down that number added to my work information so that Avaya phone could pick up my line and THOUGHT that I was all set. On the day that I was to take test calls for my training, no calls were coming through. I asked my trainer for permission to call Comcast and was granted that. I called and was told that my number was the ** number. I said that I had been given a different number but the representative said that was the only number that was assigned to my account for that line.
I asked once more were there any features on my line because I had became skeptical on what I was being told by Comcast staff, he said that he would call to me on that line, since I was calling him on it to prove that there were no features in it. He placed me on hold and called the line, it beeped. The call waiting was still on the line. He said that he would go into the line and again take the call waiting feature off. He assured me that everything was fine and that there will be no more problems with that line. He was wrong. As I began to take calls, the call waiting feature beeped in several times and that caused me to be suspended from working for two weeks. That caused me financial difficulties which led to the next problem.
I had made a payment arrangement to pay my bill with my first pay check on March 30th. With me being suspended, there was going to be no way that I could have paid the bill. So I called the Collections department and I was told that there was no way that they could change the arrangement that I had made for the 13th of April. I called the Office of the President customer service and a representative told me that I would receive a call from someone in regards to this issue. On April 10th, a representative out of Nashville, TN called and I explained what had happened and I mentioned that if it had not been for Comcast not doing what was promised with the call waiting, I would had been able to honor my promise to pay, he agreed.
We did a conference call to the Collections department and first spoke to a representative who said that the arrangements could not be changed, so the Executive Services rep asked to speak to his manager. The manager said the same thing that the rep had said but when the ExSvcs rep explained to him the situation, he agreed to allowed the dates to be changed for the billing amount to come out on the 24th of April instead of the 13th. After he had released the call to the Collections department, I told him about the service issues that I had been experiencing and I was advised to call the Tech Support so that they can assess the problem and maybe dispatch a call, which I did and the appointment was set for the 13th. I was also told during that call that credits for lost service will be given.
On the 13th the tech came on time and thought that she had resolved the above mentioned issues but no. The same things that were going on prior to her coming are still happening. I did call her back on the same day, to inform her that we were still experiencing some issues but they stopped prior to her arrival so I called her and canceled the visit. That was a mistake. The services are still acting up, with me having to call daily. Plus, I called to inform billing about the outages and was supposedly given credit for the time for the service problems but I have not seen them reflected on my bill.
The promise to pay situation is continuing with that check hitting my checking account every other day. It had caused over draft fees on my account. Plus, they are refusing to help me on this matter or my service issues now. I have asked to be let out of my contract but I was told that although I'm having so many issues that I could not be let out of it. There was a note placed in my account that I was asking for money from Comcast, I HAVE NEVER ASKED THAT, so now I can't get assistance with my issues.
I have continually asked for help with the issues that have occurred since I have had this service and is not receiving any help, which have me thinking that I should start looking outside of Comcast for help because trying to get things right done right within your company is getting me no where and that is really pathetic.
What I am asking for is:
1 That my service is made operational;2 To make sure that the calling waiting is off the line that ends in **;
3 adjustments are made to my account to reflect the time without adequate service;
4 my account is taken out of “Black ball” status.
If this is not possible, let me go to another company that can better service me because it's either Comcast feels that I am not worthy of their company or they simply do not care how they treat their customers. I refuse to believe that this multi-billion dollar can be that inept or hire a bunch of inept people.

We had Comcast for a year and we're told the only thing we were under contract with was our home security. When we cancelled our cable, Internet and phone service, I was on the phone for 2 hours while they transferred me around trying to figure out how to cancel everything but the security since I didn't want to pay a termination fee. Finally, the rep stated "I cancelled your current contract and just did another contract on the security". This added several months to my previous contract term. I asked the rep how he could do that without my consent. I didn't agree to an extended contract. The rep advised me it's no big deal, he does it all the time.
I just logged on to pay my bill and instead of owing $49 for my monthly security, I owe $290 because they state they misapplied a payment. What??? Now I have to spend another hour or so on the phone trying to straighten this out. I am also consulting an attorney regarding the "new" contract I have been put under and will probably file a complaint with the FTC. Stay away from Comcast! They are horrible.

Here are my string of complaints: The sales representative only gave me 2 options to get my cable equipment, either spend $10 to receive it by mail or $80 to have a technician to install it. She did NOT mention that I could simply pick it up and get my cable hooked up right away. Oh, but of course, when I mentioned if I could get it faster, she said I could pay more for shipping to receive it the next day.
The box came 5 days later with a set top box and two other smaller cable boxes (far too many). NOWHERE was the internet modem, which was most important part and the whole reason I'm stuck with Comcast in the first place (Sadly, Comcast monopolizes my area). I thought I had everything needed at first (the instruction manual is terrible), so I called to get the set top box activated. After a half hour of struggling with the sales representative, she told me that I needed to call the billing department to receive my services.
Next day called customer service, surprise surprise, I didn't need to call the billing department. I also figured out through my own research that I needed that internet modem. Picked up the internet modem at the local Comcast store. Had to call 2 sales representatives to finally get it working. Then I find out that I need a splitter in order to use the same cable outlet for both internet and TV.
Go to the local Comcast store AGAIN to pick up the splitter. Returned the extra little cable box I was sent (What a waste of packaging when I could've had that internet modem instead). Everything is hooked up and I call to set up the cable. Robot sends me to a sales representative and guess what? THE SET TOP BOX DOESN'T WORK. Looks like yet another trip to the Comcast store. I mean really, is it so hard to pack up the right things and make sure everything works? I want my $10 spent for shipping, this is ridiculous. I would never recommend Comcast to anyone EVER.

The purpose of my call was to alas end my service with this company that I believe is absolutely greedy and fraudulent, whose services are shoddy, and whose fees continue to escalate for no apparent reason.
Throughout the conversation, ** used what sounded like a canned script, repeatedly stating that I am not authorized to make any changes to my Comcast account. Of course, I've made dozens of changes to upgrade my services, swap out equipment, etc. in the past. But now I am suddenly locked out in order to terminate the account. ** flat refused to let me speak to a manager and like a robot, simply kept repeating that I am not authorized on the account. This is a joint account with my mother. I have encountered this same problem a dozen times. My mom has repeatedly given Comcast permission for me to speak to them about the account. This is why I have been able to make so many changes to the account. Yet now, after asking to terminate the service, Comcast maintains that I am suddenly not authorized.
I explained how many times my mother has authorized me to make changes to the account. But it fell on deaf ears. I explained that my mother is dying and in hospice care, and is simply in no condition to call Comcast. ** didn't seem to care. I found her to be curt, rude, cold, unprofessional, poorly trained, and completely stonewalling in her communication style. She said that mother is the only one who can make changes to my account. Needless to say, I am so absolutely done with this company, its incompetence, and its continued practice of gouging my bank account with excessive, ever increasing charges for the same poor service. I refuse to allow one more red cent of mine to go into their coffers. But they will not allow me to end my service without authorization from my dying mother.
My mom can hardly talk, but I must now get a dying woman on the phone to fight with Comcast in order to end my service? Do the people who work for this company have any kind of human decency? I can see the company is cold as ice and doesn't give a ** about its customers, but isn't there one employee who can help me avoid putting my dying mother on the phone with them when I am, in fact, authorized on our account?

We received a telemarketing call from a company representing the new Xfinity package from Comcast. They promised 2 years of all premium channels, hi-speed internet and a landline for less than we were paying for just cable (with HBO and Starz) and Hi-speed internet. They promised that we could hook all of the components up ourselves and that they would be shipped out that day. After about 10 days, we did get a box with 2 cable boxes (one DVR and one basic), and a modem. My husband installed everything according to the instructions and nothing happened. We called customer service and they scheduled a technician for 4 days later. The technician got the main TV working and we thought the bedroom TV worked, but it didn't. It just says it is connecting and no matter how many times you unplug or reset it, nothing changed.
So, we called again and got another technician who got it working. 3 days later, the bedroom TV is still not connecting. I called on Wednesday and the earliest a tech is available is Saturday. There was a time when you could call Comcast and a person (local) would answer the phone. Their customer service was awesome. This is no longer the case. If you are lucky enough to get a person in the US, they never have any record of previous calls and never have solutions other than to schedule another tech. It hasn't been 30 days yet but I'm ready to chuck all their equipment through their front door.

Line goes dead. I thought...let's try again. 2nd call, same thing. They hang up. They offered me HBO and SHOWTIME for 1.00 each per month as an add-on. I said sure. But the programming is the same movies you would see on regular television, so I called to cancel. She tells me I will have to pay early termination fees of 75.00. I informed her that my entire contract was month-to-month with no term agreement. She says the two channels carry a 2-year term agreement. I tell her that that fact was somehow omitted when I agreed to it and that I refuse to pay the termination fee. She tells me that they will "pull the recording of the conversation" to see if the terms were mentioned(!) I was astonished. Now she's practically calling me a liar.
The supervisor comes on the line. I explain the situation and she says there will be no charge for the early termination because it was a promotional offer, not in my contract. I tell her what the other person said and she says they were wrong. I make her notate that in the notes for my account. I'm thinking...doesn't the right hand know what the left is doing? We hang up and I pull up my emails. There is one from Comcast quoting my new rate which is 40.00 more than what I was told on the phone. I call back. They said to disregard the email.
There is hope on the horizon, as of 4/16/15. Clark Howard says there is a new optic wire from Google that is being tested in Oklahoma that will put these companies out of business. It will offer more channels, internet speed that is 100X faster, and will cost about $70.00/month. The early tests are showing a 100% approval rating and customers love it. I can't wait. Now we will have the same internet speed as many European countries who already have that speed. Apparently the USA is lagging when it comes to internet offerings.
Here is some advice that I've learned the hard way: (1) Always ask questions. Don't let them intimidate you; (2) make them notate on your account ANYTHING they commit to. They can add it to the notes and it can't be overlooked then; (3) Always get the person's name. So many times they have asked me...who were you speaking with?; (4) Watch your statement like a hawk. Don't let anything slide, not even small fees. Call them and show them you mean business.
I have already decided that if they try to charge me that fee of 75.00, I'm going to register a complaint with the BBB. I'm not going to say a word, just hang up and start the process. I'm tired of dealing with them. They are required to respond to BBB complaints by alleviating the problem or having it go against them. I've had good results with complaints in the past. What a horrible company. I don't know a single person who likes their service and pricing. Good news is...their days are numbered. As Clark Howard said..."The fat lady is already warming up and preparing to sing." *No offense for using the f word, just a manner of speaking.

I transferred my services and the customer service rep started a new contract on my alarm system (so I was told) and added a phone line that I didn't ask for. When I called to cancel because the internet is slow and I found out I could get more channels with AT&T for a cheaper price, I was told I could't because it was a transfer (keep in mind I started a new contract that qualified me for the 30-day customer satisfaction) and my bill was $680. My bill for the previous month was only $180 and it was just paid. I still don't know how my bill went from $180 to $680 in 3 weeks. Because of my bill being past due (which I just made a payment 3 weeks before), no changes couldn't be made to my account at the time so I made the decision to just keep the alarm which I was under contract for and let go the rest of the services.
When I called back after making a $260 payment on my account, I was told I was out of my 30-day agreement and I could not disconnect my other services. I never agreed to go under contract for the other services (I've had these services for over 2 years and I was never on contract so why I would I go on one now?). I'm being told my entire package is under contract and there's nothing they can do about it. I've been told 4 different stories by 4 different people and no one will honor what was said to me. At this point I don't want to give them another dime of my money...especially if they can't properly train their employees. The excuse I've been given is that the sales reps aren't familiar with the home product so they often give misinformation. My question is why are they allowed to sell a product they know nothing about??? I really hate Comcast and will never recommend anyone to do business with them.

So I was surprised to see that when I went to pay my phone bill I had a negative balance. I checked the transactions and noticed Comcast had charged me twice!! I called "customer service" and spoke to a number of disinterested people in foreign countries who claimed there was only one charge. The next day I saw that they had taken money out of my account and applied it to next month's bill and credited the rest to my account WITHOUT my permission!! And there is no one to go to in this instance!

When I walked into the local Comcast store to pick up a new cable box, the young woman at the desk noticed that I had been billed for a piece of equipment that I never requested, had, or used. She said that I had been billed for this "adapter" or something like that, since 2009 and should be reimbursed (or credited) by Comcast. (She was lovely.)
Fast forward about a year, I returned to Comcast to see about what had been done about the overcharging and it appears nothing had been done. I was assured that it would be fixed and was given a ticket number. Bear in mind that I have automatic deductions (from my bank account) for my monthly bill, and Comcast has not sent either paper or electronic bills in years.
As per my request, I received an electronic bill the other day. They only credited me for the last six months of overbilling. I called and was told that the two agents that I had spoken with in person were wrong about my reimbursement - that Comcast has a strict policy that they will only, in essence, fix any of their mistakes from the last six months. I explained that I had spoken with someone a year ago and nothing was done. I also explained that I had no knowledge of being overcharged since they never sent me a bill.
I'm basically an easy-going person, but when something this egregious happens to me, and most probably is also happening to others, I became, well, apparently 1 Star indicates "angry" so I'll leave it at that. I'm waiting for a supervisor to call me back (I'm not holding my breath) but the amount of time I've already spent trying to remedy THEIR mistake is ridiculous. How can they operate a business where they recognize their mistake and yet only agree to repay a small portion of a sum that they realize was erroneously deducted from my bank account?

Where do I start - from the beginning we've had trouble with these crooks. Installation was flawed - called and was promised a tech MULTIPLE times - no shows. Finally I went to their office in person and raised hell with a manager who tried to threaten me - that didn't work (helps to know the law....). Finally had two techs with the proper equipment show up to fix MULTIPLE issues with the original crap installation. Since then we've had multiple service outages. OnDemand often throws a "service not available" message, internet speeds vary DRAMATICALLY, and tonight I'm trying to watch a movie and the soundtrack gets garbled about every 5 minutes making me have to pause the movie and then restart it to fix audio.
HOW ON EARTH can these idiots continue to be in business and be allowed to provide such completely incompetent service??? Can anyone spell CLASS ACTION against these twits? To charge what they do and fail to provide acceptable, consistent service is criminal.

I have never been so infuriated by terrible service! For 2 months my husband and I tried to cancel our Comcast account but continued to receive charges. When we scheduled for the technicians to come to our home and collect our Comcast electronics, they didn't show up THREE TIMES! We had to take off work and stayed home on 3 different occasions for them to never show up... no notice. After 9-10 calls over the past two months, we were continually redirected from department to department. We were made promises of not being charged, promises of lowering our bill if we stayed on as customers, and yet, our bill never changed from its original amount nor did the technicians ever come to the house after multiple attempts to reschedule. Each time we spoke on the phone with someone new from multiple departments, we received different answers and different promises.
For 2 months this has been going on. Finally we requested call logs to be listened to by the supervisors from February of 2015. This has yet to happen. We will be canceling our services, refusing to pay, and never ever again using Comcast services no matter where we move. It has been a nightmare experience all around. This company needs to under. I don't even want to rate 1 star. I'd like rate as many negative stars as possible. My husband and I and our families are all in full agreement that Comcast is the worst company in America. Shame on you Comcast. Worst service we hope to ever experience.

I called them and they told me that they bill new customers for two months of service during the first month. I was never told this when I started my account. I never got a second bill in the mail. All I got was unexplained charges on my account. I've had service for not even a month now and I'm already ready to switch cable providers.
It's complete bs that they're going to bill me for two months in advance and make the payment days not even a month apart. So I now have a 175 bill due April 15th and a 116 bill due May 1st! My mom has been dealing with them charging her account twice a month for amounts that are WAY more then she should be paying.

Once again, Comcast has outdone itself in delivering abominable customer service. A week ago, I notice a significant dip in my FICO Score provided by my Credit union. I immediately pulled credit reports and found a submission from a collections agency. I called them and they informed me Comcast had turned an amount due from 2011 over to them for collections. I called Comcast and after being transferred about 3 times, spoke to someone who informed me I owed a balance on an account I had back in 2011. I asked “why I had received nothing in the mail from Comcast in the PAST 4 YEARS”, and they had no answer. I eventually determined, that because I got my bills via email, and when I closed the Comcast account I no longer had access to that email address, I was uninformed about the amount due.
I did some research, and determined to the best of my knowledge, that this was around the time I switched carriers and figured I probably owed it, so I paid it. I then spend another hour and a half being transferred from inept representative to inept representative trying to connect me to the imaginary "Collections Department" to have this blunder removed from my Credit report and restore my pristine credit rating. I eventually got a phone number for Equifax and was told that COMCAST WOULD NOT fix this. I have tried to send an email or even find an address to send correspondence to, but without an active account, I cannot access a location. Any advice would be appreciated.

I serviced Comcast customers through an independent contractor and had service with Comcast. Let's begin, I signed up with Comcast some years ago. I do not like being lied to. The agent had told me I would receive their triple pay for 99.00/mo. When I received my first bill, I was billed 132.00. When I didn't pay, they had a company called Midland Credit call me. Well they did not follow procedure and a class action lawsuit was filed against this company. An attorney sent me a letter with confirmation that I qualified for a credit of 1000.00. I signed back up with Comcast, was given the same above run-around. I paid 132.00/mo for endless repeated shows/movies (pay-per-view is not included with the monthly service fee). The programming is not updated, maybe every 6-7 months. I have not received any credit for anything.
The internet connection was constantly breaking even during my servicing for Comcast. It was simple, Comcast got the contractor to do their dirty work for them. How can you sell a service to Comcast customers who are having issues? You can't!!! I would get calls from some pissed off customers. Techs never arrived to the servicing address, credit was never applied and connections with these customers were constantly dropped. I had one customer call and he was paying over 300.00 for the service and was having issues!!!
Anyway, I was charged an early termination fee of 200.00. I didn't terminate the service, Comcast did. I was even charged for returning the equipment and they charged me for a month of service I never received. I serviced the company and they didn't even give me a break!!! And this is the kicker, I received an email stating they had an opening for a sales position!!! What a joke!!! I tried to get service with Earthlink, I could not because they partnered with Comcast. Isn't the consumer entitled to a choice? And why is Comcast getting away with dominating the industry? As far as I am concerned, it is a monopoly and a monopoly is illegal in this country. One other complaint, the new credit agency calling, will call you 3 times a day until the bill is paid (as stated by their agent). Looks like another class action lawsuit against Comcast.

No explanation when the tech came to my home and investigated the issue. I witnessed it after a few people told me about calling and not getting through, I called my home phone to check it out.
