    They act like they are doing you a favor by allowing you to talk to them. Had numerous problems from bad wiring, to Comcast technicians cutting the wrong wires, to network outages. If I could rate less than 1, I would. Prices too high, services very unreliable, and customer service is the worst. I was finally able to get Verizon FIOS and it is 1000 times, maybe more, better than Comcast.

    It's so difficult to reach them. I usually had to 'chat' over my computer and then it's just not personal. Since I could save the transcript to prove what the agent actually said to me, that was the only positive I can offer. Entirely too expensive. Too many outages - I went for almost two weeks without cable once and they never even offered to deduct anything from my bill for not having service.

    The field technician was great. However it took 4 calls to house techs who knew nothing before they sent someone out. Since faulty equipment was fixed, signal has been good most of the time. Only one outage which was nationwide. Install easy, programming not as good as DirecTV. Comcast needs to work on their guide. There should be a way to only view subscribed channels.

    I hate calling Comcast. Automated menus doesn't let you just choose customer service. Foreigners answering your calls. You can hardly understand them. Cable/internet will go out or put codes up. The cost is ridiculous. Supposedly you're saving with triple play but I don't see any savings and the taxes they pass on are infuriating. Reliable for the most part but will go out for unforeseen reasons.

    I was able to negotiate a lower rate subsequent to an unexpected, ridiculous price increase. Internet speed is exceptional, but the value of TV service is pitiful. I have had half a dozen cable providers over the years, and Comcast is the worst value of all - offering fewer channels and no free HD for the highest cost. No problems. Comcast is good for Internet speed, but horrible for TV service value.

    It takes a while to get someone on the phone but usually they're relatively effective at resolving issues, except the once a week when their Internet service is down. The quality of services is OK but not great. As with virtually everything else, the pricing is a little steep for what you get. Almost once a week either the Internet or telephone service gets interrupted. The speeds and connectivity vary at times. It's an overpriced monopoly that needs to be better regulated or broken up. You pay too much for too little and weekly interruptions get frustrating after a while.

    The only thing on my credit report is from Comcast claim that I never returned a $500 cable box when I cancelled service. It's the worst company in any of the countries that I've lived in. I wouldn't open an account with them if they paid me to do so. Technically, the TV signals were OK. The internet was very slow even when I paid for premium "fast" service. Hugely overpriced. I only wanted one channel that they carried and the minimum I'd have to pay was over $80 per month.

    I was constantly call customer support how always made promises to correct my bill and it would only be for 1 month and the bill would go back up or never be credited. So I canceled Comcast, purchased a box and watch Netflix's, I'm so much happier and I no longer have that overpriced bill. I was always calling in to have my cable box reset. It was time-consuming and a waste of my time. It worked when it wanted to and when it didn't want to, it didn't. We needed more competition in paid tv so that it is affordable for all.

    When equipment malfunctions (frequently) you have to either drive miles to the one service office, and wait usually over a half hour in line to exchange it, or pay for someone to bring a replacement to your house. Almost impossible to contact a live service person on phone. Both difficult and expensive to deal with when problems arise that they should correct to maintain service. Much too expensive, but the alternative is "rabbit ears" in my suburban neighborhood. Frequent partial outages of some channels, freezing programs, and deteriorating signals. My recommendation - avoid if at all possible.

    They have been quite responsive to my inquiries and the process is usually fast. It is fairly reliable almost all the time. Too much crap is being offered under the disguise of quality programming! We only watch 10 channels at best and the rest is streamed online. I am fairly certain that when I sit down to watch a cable program, I will be successful. Offer a la carte pricing rather than different levels of tens or hundreds of channels we will never watch.

    It breaks, they try to fix it. Not including outages. They're not proactive in terms of notifying of outages. You just have to guess that it's not working, perhaps it's a larger problem. Good programs, but the pay channels all have the same programs and run repeatedly the same movies or shows. Nothing much new in the way of new programs. Entertainment value. Price for the service doesn't equal the quality of the product. Pricing/packages are terrible in that new customers get better pricing whereas long-standing existing customers get nothing in the way of a price break. A take it or leave it mindset!! Consistent in the availability area. OVERPRICED PRODUCTS/SERVICES. UNDER-APPRECIATED LOYALTY OF THE LONG-STANDING CUSTOMERS.

    Customer support is terrible. Appointments are difficult to schedule. Customer Support personnel will promise you services that the repair person hasn't heard of or be notified of. It usually works pretty well but the internet seems to disconnect/connect at all times. The value is very poor. Bill is way too high. When it works, it works well. But too often the tv freezes up, or the guide has wrong shows listed.

    I haven't needed a lot of support. My most recent call was to confirm that I had the latest cable box. The person I spoke to was very pleasant and helpful. I have had very few outages and the system has always been restored in a reasonably quick manner. I am on the 2nd year of a new contract so I get a lot of channels for a reasonable price. When this year is up I will reduce my cable services to maintain a price close to my current price. No problems with reliability. There are services I currently have but I don't use like DVR and many channels I don't watch. If I was paying retail for these services my cable bill would be much higher.

Many system hangups, lost recordings, software hangups requiring almost daily reboots of the X1 box, X1 box noisy, aspect ratios inconsistent between HD and non-HD channels, recording often cut off near the end and finally the daily forced reboot at night is obtrusive and shows how crappy the Xfinity software is.

    Very nasty customer service reps. Clear channels. Nothing wrong with service just billing. Very expensive. You get overbilled. Not for anyone on a fixed income. Pretty reliable. Could be better. Comcast does not consider that some of their customers are seniors on a fixed income and do not get paid when their bill is due. They should take this into consideration and change the billing date to accommodate the pay schedule of the customer.

    You can usually get someone on the phone within 5 mins as long as there's not a major issue, in which case they usually have a recording letting you know about it. They tend to want to charge you for everything, but you can talk to a supervisor in many cases and get all or part of the charges removed. We are told we get 50MBPS down speed. That is simply not the case, or I could download a 500MB file in 10 seconds. It normally takes about 1-2 minutes, depending on the time of day. It would make me feel much more warm and fuzzy about Comcast if they actually delivered what they say they deliver download and upload speed-wise, but it's better than C. America!

    What customer support? A problem... be prepared to be transferred at least 3-4 times and still most likely not have the issue resolved. They also lie about the bundling package prices. The X1 upgrade.. we were told we MAY get up to 75 mbps. We already had 25 mbps which they said could be average. What kind of "upgrade" is that? Then they give you a price, but when you receive the email confirmation, it's not at all what was discussed. Extremely deceptive tactics to lock you in for 2 years at really no discount. The internet goes out all the time. Pay more for less... That's their motto. The popular packages are removed from lower packages and put in higher ones to get you to pay them even more to get the channels you regularly watch. Mediocre.

We get odd sync problems with the sound and picture and sometimes the sound doesn't work at all. We have 2 residences and currently pay $163 & $189 respectively. Way too much money for the service and product we receive. Internet is slow (we upgraded to faster at one house and we still can't stream little videos online). OK.

    TV goes out, cannot get Comcast to respond in a timely manner. Rates keep going up while customer support has dropped off. Not enough staff to answer phones because when I call it takes longer for someone to answer. And when they do answer they are trying to sell some other service. My picture goes out, I call Comcast. They say they're working on it. I call back and I am put on hold for ten minutes or more. Or if they answer quickly they are trying to sell me. Much too expensive. And my building is sold out to Comcast so I cannot go to another source to even try to get a better deal. The most reliable thing is getting billed every month and the bill goes up.

    Comcast knows that it is not a consumers' market, as they now have a near monopoly in our area and can raise fees and basically charge whatever they want. Their customer service is hit or miss. The last time we called with an issue regarding our router not working properly, they did send a replacement router, but then increased our monthly bill. This is after stating very plainly that the new modem/router was not going to increase our monthly bills. Add to that, very long hold times, out of state support operators, and general impression of not really caring about customer experience as long as they get paid. Comcast needs to be broken up and definitely not be allowed to merge with Time Warner. Internet access should be equal to all citizens, not based on ability to pay a very high premium fee.

It seems like Comcast treats new customers like gold and its longtime customers like something else. Some of my friends that are longtime subscribers of Comcast have had to end their services with Comcast because their Comcast bill went through the roof. I wish they had more specials for their longtime subscriber that equalled their specials that they give to new time subscribers. Sometimes the internet connection gets really slow.

    No written contract. When I call I am shuffled around. When my alarm needed servicing, I was charged $50 without warning.

When I signed up for a 3 year contract I got no written contract, nothing in writing and in my 3rd year my price skyrocketed (supposed to be a $10 increase per year). I think Comcast's motto is to get the most money you can out of the most customers. Highly unethical - and don't bother calling the AG's office or complaining to the FTC. They don't care and only send you back to Comcast to re-hash your problem.

    Wait times on the phone, the transferring from one CSR to another is maddening. They are not empowered to do anything until you work your way through 3-4 levels and even then they are doing you a favor. When I moved the only way to not have my rates skyrocket was to upgrade to the Xfinity platform. When I was just on digital a mile away, Service was uninterrupted. With Xfinity, there are outages, there are several times a month you cannot change channels since "there is a problem with your service, try again later". I moved my modem to a more convenient location to reboot. I see no advantage of staying with them other than internet service. Where I am located no one has a competitive rate of speed that will handle my current needs much less if I cut the cord and want to stream everything.

    For what the service costs it is not up 100%. I know this is petty, but only seems to go out when it is the most critical. If they could offer a more competitive rate and not be so hard to deal with, they would be fine. They simply do not care for their customers only that the payments are there. I had my credit card hacked so I called 2 days before my auto bill and tried to pay the bill with another card so it would not be late. They wanted to charge a service fee for paying over the phone. If I change it on the website they have up to 2 billing cycles to recognize the change. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? After 15 minutes, they finally agreed this one time to waive that charge... with a credit on the following billing cycle. Had the Exact same issue with my cell phone tied to that card, AT&T offered immediately that all charges would be waived since I contacted them.

    Extremely long waits, disconnects while waiting for customer service. More than half of the time they cannot solve the problem and want to send a tech out to your home at YOUR expense. Extremely expensive, we pay 140.00 a month for cable & internet with no special channels. Simply said they STINK! Horrible. For instance we were paying $160.00 a month for cable (with no added special channels) and internet (the slowest speed). It's extremely hard to fork out this much money in an economy such as this one. My mom is an 89 yrs young woman on a fixed/limited income so we help out as much as we can.

    So last month I called them to see if they were running any specials, because those are NEVER offered to the consumer that has been with them since the start of cable. We were able to save her approx 20.00 a month but again this is for a limited time. For what they charge and what you get does not equal value. Never on time even with a one hour window.

    There is no customer support. I tried for several days to get an error on my bill resolved. I was transferred several times, and nobody solved my problem. I finally complained on a social site, and some Comcast executive contacted me and eventually fixed my billing error. I spent 20 years developing World Class customer service, and this company completely fails in all aspects. The more you spend, the worse the service. More in infomercials, commercials, buying programs. Seriously? I finally quit the TV, and use broadcast TV. Yes I still get all of the commercials etc, but at least I am not paying for them. The internet is supposedly the fastest, but still cuts out, especially during streaming movies from Netflix, and the audio is sometimes horrendous. The installer had to replace the equipment twice, because it was faulty. Nobody should have to pay hundreds of dollars for internet and/or TV.

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to talk with a real person when you try to phone. It is equally impossible to report problems through e-mails. I have tried to report unburied cable in my neighborhood and I cannot reach anyone by phone or internet. WORST customer service ever! My cable box stopped working. It took three different "technicians" to replace a new box. I was told that all the XFINITY boxes have been recycled. I think I am paying too much for just internet and cable TV (not the top of the level). Internet service and TV service frequently go out. The prices for my limited service increase on a regular basis. I would use another company if I could but satellite dishes get no reception where I live. The customer service element is simply non-existent. They have customers who cannot voice their opinions.

    They have consistently offered temporary rates to keep me as a customer, and then increase the rates when the period expires. They consistently offer better pricing to new customers than to existing customers. There are frequent outages or service slowdowns (internet speeds slow or the cable service has to reboot). If there were another cable (not DSL) internet provider in my area, I would certainly switch. Their services are extremely poor and extremely expensive. I will switch at the first opportunity.

    I have spent countless hours on the phone due to service and billing issues. Countless hours means that I have spent upwards of 50 hours on the phone with Comcast over the last two years. It is the single worst consumer service experience I have ever had. It took ONE year for Comcast to resolve static in my cable TV signal and FIFTEEN months to resolve internet signal problems, that were due to a faulty modem, that they refused to replace for 18 months, despite 7 or 8 different service calls.

    Customer service reps are generally polite and helpful, as long as the concern is one they know how to address. If they aren't able to address the issue quickly, I have been disconnected. Initially pretty good. Recent "upgraded" remote does not accommodate a surround sound system. I'm back to using 2 remotes. Three days a month of lost service. Hours on the phone trying to get service back. They decided I lived in a different town than the one I live in, which has caused issues since initiating service a number of years ago. If I had another choice, I would drop Comcast.

    The new "upgraded" system was a pain to install, required hours on the phone and in their chat room to get it going. Some features are good on the new remote, lack of ability to sync with surround sound system is not good. Once problems start they can continue repeatedly for 24-48 hours. Generally service reliable, except when it is not! Chat room assistance is a joke. Wish I had another choice.

We had patch of on again-off again service and we ended up replacing our router and that seems to have helped sooo don't know if patchy service in the past is all linked to that. Also originally we leased our modem and we decided to buy our own. The one we bought looks like the one we leased. I suspect Comcast is not happy losing the revenue and they might increase the aggravation of hooking it up (it was not easy when we did). Plus if we have any problem, they are likely to blame it on our modem.

    Our only other option is AT&T (I live in Minneapolis) and I have heard they stink too. So 2 stars is probably standard for this area. I have heard there is potential for another high speed carrier in NE Minneapolis but Comcast and AT&T would lose big bucks and I'm sure they are buying off whoever they can to stop it.

    Until VERY recently, technicians would lie to you about what service is available, promise items would be deducted from your bill (only to be re-placed on your bill the next month). Now, however, they are MUCH more pleasant, all the way up to average. Pixelation, almost daily; 5-6 outages a year, down from 10-12. Tallahassee, Florida has the highest Comcast bill in the state, for basic Xfinity service.

    Xfinity would not work with my new TV (an LG), so I had to use a DTA, instead of a set top box, and I am still using that. That prompted Comcast to bill me for BOTH a set top box and a DTA, and I have tried unsuccessfully for six, yes 6, years to get them to stop doing that, until recently. A technician had to come to my house, and I took the opportunity to walk him around my house so he could see for himself how many cable outlets I have and how many TVs I have. That technician SAYS he fixed my problem, and I will no longer be billed for "an additional outlet." We'll see. This is the fifth time someone has promised me that that ** additional outlet would be removed! Oh, they remove it all right, then re-place it on my bill the following month.

    The "Comcast guarantee": don't bother phoning them about it; you're not going to get through on the phone (after an outage). It will be busy until midnight, when that little guarantee will no longer be available because your incident happened "yesterday."

Constantly dropping off line; you absolutely cannot order a PPV movie because it won't play all the way through, you can't use streaming because the signal is constantly dropped and forget about trying to DVR anything - that doesn't work.

Their value is that they provide a decent service at a high price without much competition. Sometimes it won't work. I understand that cable and internet go down sometimes but it seems too often.

    There are not a lot of options in our area if someone wants Cable TV or internet. I'm hoping that more options present themselves in the future. I think I heard Google has something in the works.

Little things like that would go a long way for customer satisfaction. But they don't care, they're the only game in town. In the two plus years I've had Comcast, it has been up 99% of the time.

    It takes over 5 minutes of listening to a phone tree, advertising, and suggested additional products before one even gets to the queue for an agent. Sometimes the agents are knowledgeable. Sometimes the agents are clearly not native English speakers, and between lousy phone connections and unfamiliar accents (give me few minutes and I always get them), it is very difficult to do business by telephone. The chat service is very time consuming, even longer than a phone call due to the distances the messages are traveling, most frequently out of the Western Hemisphere. In store help is the same: inconsistent. Try to get an idea of your basic monthly bill amount: it is always understated, yet all the fees, taxes, etc., are static.

    TV pixelates often; phone service is adequate. Internet is very fast, but I pay quite a bit for that internet speed. Cable TV industry needs to realize that consumers like me would be happier if we could select from stations/programs/movies/tv shows as we go. Have a basic charge for the equipment and availability, then add on the additional channels. I have over 200 channels I don't use just to get the 10 channels I do watch. It seems that this type of monopolistic business model is inevitably going to kill itself off with services like AppleTV, Hulu, Netflix, etc., that are less expensive and easy to use.

    It is as reliable as overhead cabling will allow. If service were run underground, there would no doubt be fewer weather-related interruptions. If I did not need very high speed internet for my work and my housemate didn't want the cable TV, Comcast would be out of my life in any minute. I went cable TV free for a year before my housemate moved in, and it was fine using a hi-def antenna.

    Awful, 3 days to come out when an outside cable was cut somewhere. Service people, both at the call centers and technicians that come to your house, are untrained and don't understand how their equipment works. Recently Comcast forced me to upgrade to Xfinity by popping up a message on our TVs every 1/2 hour or so saying that if we didn't upgrade we would lose access to some of our stations. We always paid a little extra to have 2 separate Comcast DVD recorders so my wife and could record and delete our own programs on our separate TVs. When I was forced to upgrade I contacted Comcast Xfinity department on 3 separate occasions to confirm that if we installed 2 Xfinity DVDs we could still record and delete programs independently on our respective TVs and there would be no increase in cost.

    When I installed the Xfinity DVRs there was no way to keep them separate as they both kept programs on the same web based cloud server. Delete a program from one and it is deleted from both DVRs. Called Xfinity support again and they apologized and said we just needed a filter installed, a 5 minute job for their tech which they scheduled to come install it saying there would be no charge. Tech came, installed the filter in multiple places with no success, called his supervisor who said the DVRs could not be separated as promised. They charged me $60 for this experience and when I called to complain about it Comcast argued and argued and finally offered to reduce the $60 charge by $25! After another 20 minutes of arguing on principle I was transferred to another supervisor who finally removed the charges.

    After installing the Xfinity I had multiple other problems. I discovered they had been charging me for high speed internet for a very long time, but the modem they rented to me was incapable of high speed internet. I had them send me another modem and they charged me for multiple modems. Then had problems with static on my Comcast phone line, and still do, and a third small Comcast box on a bathroom TV. Comcast sent out another tech for these problems and charged me again. Told this tech about my experience with being told that my DVRs could be kept independent and he was surprised that they couldn't be separate. The tech said they have to learn these things from customers as they have no training on new equipment, they just receive an email message that they are going to be installing new devices and give absolutely zero training on them.

    Many bad charges, many, many calls to Comcast taking hours and hours, it takes about 10 minutes for each call just to get through phone menus before you get someone in India or somewhere that is hard to understand and who tells you what they can read from a computer help screen and still my phone has static, my DVRs don't work as promised and I am being charged for all the equipment that I have returned to Comcast. I have never disliked a company in my 68 years as much as I dislike Comcast. Finally, in the next couple of months, RCN and ATT Uverse will be available and Comcast will lose the hard wire monopoly they have had since the beginning. I can't wait!

    Vastly overcharges for services because it has a monopoly. When my cable, internet and phone all went down because the Comcast cable was cut outside somewhere it took Comcast 3 full days to send a repairman. My phone still does not work properly. Customer service at Comcast is just plain awful and incompetent which they only got away with because they had a monopoly on high speed internet and hard wired cable TV.

    Minimally, it takes five minutes before you reach a live person due to their automated answering system. Some customer service representatives tell you one thing, but they do something quite different. For example, a credit that I was promised for loss of internet service (due to a defective modem) was never applied. This meant that I had to call them a second time.

    For more than a year, I had a defective modem. I never received the speed that I was being charged for. Sometimes, I would lose internet connectivity. When watching channels like Netflix, the program would repeatedly stop and buffer numerous times during the film. Comcast would not admit that their equipment was the problem until the modem broke down. Then, Comcast attempted to charge me for installation services when they sent a technician to my home to replace the defective modem. There is no local Comcast area in my town, so I have to make a 30 drive (in good traffic) to get to their center. It can take up to two or three hours of wait time for service depending on the time of day and the day week to pick up and/or drop off equipment.

    I am canceling my service with Comcast as soon as my contract expires in March 2017. I originally was with AT&T, but they no longer service my area. Comcast is a giant monopoly. Monopolies do not have to be responsible to the public they serve. Comcast/Xfinity does not care that their customer service personnel are rude and ignorant. Why? We the consumers have nowhere one else to go! A monopoly can set prices at whatever it wants (called "price fixing"). A monopoly creates inflation since they can set any price they want to. A monopoly can sell inferior products (e.g., their modem). A monopoly has no incentive whatsoever to provide better service and products because there is no competition. This is a very sad situation. Due to systematic deregulation by our ineffective US Congress, Comcast/Xfinity has been allowed to dominate and control the telecommunications market. I do not recommend this company to anyone.

    I have been a Comcast customer for 2 years but just switched to another provider. While there were periodic service issues during my first year of service, Comcast addressed the issues and the pricing was generally as promised. The middle of last year, I noticed the service prices began increasing, without any dialogue or notice. When I inquired I was given a new rate which was confirmed by a Comcast service rep email and actually billed and paid for one month. The next month, I received a bill almost twice what I had been quoted, billed and paid the prior month. When I inquired, the rate was jumped even more the next month. All of these rate increases were made without notice, awareness, discussion with or approval by me.

    In December my service went out. It took 3 weeks for it to be fixed by running a new line from the pole to the house. I received several promises of service visits before the problem was actually addressed after the new year. Here are several specific problems with Comcast.

    Price - there are actually different prices for identical service depending on whether you sign up at the store, over the internet or over the phone. Promotions available from one source may not be available from another source. There are various fees, that can add $20 to $40 to your monthly bill. Many of these will be charged or waived depending on who you are interacting with. To get the best current price, you are forced to sign up for a 2 or 3 year contract at whatever future price they elect to subsequently put in place, even during the first year of the contract. If you are a Verizon customer, you supposedly get a Comcast discount. However, you are never told what it is or when it applies, or more importantly when it does not.

    Billing - You are automatically billed any price changes. Any agreed to adjustments are generally not applied until after you have paid the incorrect amount. If you pay only the adjusted bill, you are hit with a late charge even though what you paid is what was agreed to as the correct amount due.

    Customer Service - There are at least 3 levels of customer service. The general telephone number, the lowest level, has very limited authority and knowledge of anything. You are put on hold and transferred. You can appeal to the VP of Customer Service which gets you to someone with more authority. If you are not satisfied you can appeal to the FCC who will pass your issue back to Comcast and get you a higher level review. These may or may not resolve your problem. You can never get back to the same person you originally spoke to on a problem. You are continually repeating the same problem to different people.

    Each person is entering something in your file concerning the call but you have no idea what it is. The next person you call most likely does not read the file but, even if they do, the correct information may not be in it. You are dealing with different people with different knowledge, training and language skills. Some actually lie or don't have any idea what they are talking about. When this happens, if you ask to speak to a supervisor you are told no one is available, put on an indefinite hold or disconnected.

    When you get referred to technical support or someone is sent out, you get a wide variety of capability. Some try to help you self-diagnose over the phone. The technicians sent out may know the internet and modem but not the phone or TV. Only the telephone technician can climb the pole. Some technicians sent out are third party contractors who can only diagnose. The technician sent out may have no information on the problem or a problem indicated which does not exist, Of course, you are then billed for the call even though the service rep said you would not be billed. You then go through the billing adjustment cycle described.

    Overall - One department of Comcast does not communicate with another. It is assumed that everything is in your file. However, it frequently is not depending who you are communicating with, their knowledge and skill, and, frankly, what they choose to document. I have actually been told that an adjustment to my bill was logged as a courtesy discount when I was out of service. I can only assume this was due to an attempt to manipulate the service statistics.

    Service Termination - When you terminate, you are told you will lose your phone number which belongs to Comcast even when you ported it to Comcast from another provider. You are told that you will lose your email address. When pressed, the service rep may acknowledge you can port the phone number and have 30 days to set up another email. Yes, I had all of these experiences with Comcast over the last 6 months. I have been repeatedly lied to even when pointing out discrepancies and naming previous contacts. This is why I terminated service.

    My brother and I contacted Comcast on February 2nd this year. We moved to an apartment and need cable and internet services. The person who attended our call was Yunior, or at least that's the name he gave us. Well this gentleman told my brother and I coz phone was on speaker and I took notes of our conversation, that our bill will be of $132 a month, with FREE HBO for a year and that our internet was unlimited and with a speed of 75! I asked him many times during the conversation about the HBO and the internet and always told us the same answer. Now we got the first bill and surprise, surprise! Comcast is charging us $15 for the HBO and my internet never gets neither to 35!

    So we called and one of the representatives told us that he could see the promotion but that was not applied to our account and he transferred our call to another department. This new guy told us that in our address there was not promotion for the HBO and that we'll need to pay the full amount and also that we had a contract with Comcast! Which nobody mentioned! They lied to us. They don't care about customer service. They're just into our money! We spoke with one of the supervisors and told us the same answer.

    Also there's no unlimited internet!!! We can't use more than 300g because they said the government don't allow us to be that much searching and that if we persist going over that quantity we'll need to go to a different agency and request a permit to be using internet. Everything is BS!! This people sucks! They told us that we have 30 days to cancel our service and I'm considering to do it. This is our first month with the company and lies are all over the place!

    In August 2015 I went to an Xfinity (Comcast) store and asked that our home phone line with AT&T get bundled in with our existing internet and cable TV service with Comcast. I was told this would be a seamless task - NOT SO!! Our phone service has been disconnected 2X by AT&T but they continue to bill us monthly. Comcast is also billing us for the home line. They've overcharged us. Said we'd get credits applied to our bill but still haven't. Each company is pointing the finger of blame to the other company. We've dealt face to face with representatives of each company who are polite, understanding but extremely ineffective. We're about to have our Comcast service interrupted due to an unpaid balance. My husband is 74 and I'm nearing 67. This has been such a struggle for us and is very upsetting. We do not know how to get resolution on this with both companies. Please advise. Thank you.

    I had Comcast Cable Service and I updated last year so this year I wanted to cancel my services and they told me that I was under contract that I have to pay a penalty if I cancel. Before I use their services I ask them if I need it a contract and they say no and that's why I use their services. So know every time you talk to them is like you upgrade your services and they put you another year on the so call contract which is a rip off to hold customers that can afford to pay those penalties. They should be more honest and not give you false information about this false contract. Please investigate this matter. They should tell you before you get the service that you are going to be in a contract not when you want to cancel.

    2-10-16 I called Comcast to get a new remote code. I was offered a deal for TV and internet for $69.99 plus tax and got an email from them that was incorrect. I talked to them again the next day and was told the same thing. I asked for an email which I never received. After that I was given the runaround for at least 3 calls in a row. Always a different offer always higher than the last offer. BAIT AND SWITCH plain and simple. They try to tell me that their employee was incorrect... That doesn't cut it. They are responsible for what their employees say and or offer.

    I still have not gotten an email back from the last time I talked to them which was 2-16-16. It is now February 19th. This company is terrible. I have not dealt with a bigger bunch of crooks in my life. If I did what they do in my profession I would lose my license and most likely be sued...

    Sadly this company has gone downhill rapidly in the last 5 years, although their rates go higher and higher, as they swallow up more and more of the competition. Over the last two weeks I have done nothing but battle with one idiot after another, that tells you anything and delivers nothing, only to find out when you do finally get a supervisor which is rare, that the employee you spoke with was wrong. Comcast has tried to take a payment out of my account 3 times in a one week period, although the payment was made online days before the due date. When questioned as to why, the answer was "Once in progress it can't be stopped." Oh yes it can, if the bank removes their ACH privileges with your account which I did.

    But that did not solve the problem. As I was never told by anyone that another payment was due 4 days behind the initial one I made online. Instead of calling and explaining, I wake up to be shut off. After 7 phone calls, and being disconnected 4 times I finally reached a supervisor, who went through my entire last 30 days of activity with me, and explained that the last three people I had spoken with about this over the last week gave me the incorrect information and apologized for it. When I asked why these folks were allowed to say what they did and also withhold certain details, and if they would be reprimanded, the subject was quickly changed.

    It is a merry band of thieves that sticks together and covers each other backs, right or wrong. They seem to only hire lower level people that tell you what they have to or what you want to hear in a prescribed time to get you off the phone, regardless if the information they are giving is right or wrong. And if you raise your voice even one octave you will end up being disconnected or sent back in to the pool to wait for someone else. Do not expect refunds even if you are promised them, they will only credit your account. Even if you are told to fax bank statements over, you are wasting your time. It will not happen. Why they even tell you to do this, if they have no intention of honoring the request is beyond me. But sadly we have no choice here the state of N.J., it is them or satellite which is even less reliable. That no competition is allowed is really baffling and possibly unethical as well.

    We have been LOYAL customers to Comcast for years. We moved our service after being with them for years and we're told there would be no fee. We had a special promotion for a year and when we moved our service we noticed on our first bill the pricing went up $150 plus we were charged a fee to move service. Come to find out they re-start your contract when you move service WITHOUT telling you but with no special pricing. When we called to cancel service after a year they told us we have to pay an early cancellation fee even though we have been with them for 3 years!! This is because they restarted our account when we moved service. Comcast customer service is the worst and punishing loyal customers is just sad.

    Do not move your service with Comcast - you are better off canceling and going with someone else or cancel and restart service and save yourself the headache because there is ABSOLUTELY NO PERKS for you the customer to moving service! They basically punish you for moving by charging fees, restarting your contract without telling you, and charging a higher rate for service. Thanks Rob Comcast "Customer Loyalty" (what a joke) for your lack of help. Worthless. Just look at all the complaints with them and call someone else!!

    A customer for over 6 years, I had contracted over the phone for promotion services in June 2015. In December 2015 my bill went up some $20. I called and was told part of the services agreed to in June was for 6 months, the other part for 12 months. When I called in June I made notes on what the customer rep told me. When I asked for confirmation that my bill would be $104/month for the next 12 months the answer was "Yes." Thus, the next 6 months I was agreeing to 12 months no change billing not knowing PART of my verbal contract was to expire before 12 months.

    I have called numerous times going through the automated system over and over -- nicely wasting my time and increasing my dissatisfaction for the way Comcast wastes a customer's time. Similarly, when my wait for Customer Solutions (taking over 20 minutes to arrive at) was a dropped call (maybe deliberate??) my efforts to work with the company are a waste of time.

    In my opinion -- and experience -- Comcast is a bad faith business and its customer solutions is dedicated to correcting no issues with the sloppy, incompetent sort of employee that answers untruthfully to a question about a whole bill amount for the next 12 months. Of course, Comcast wouldn't need to improve training and ethics of employees because that would amount to conducting business with some modicum of integrity, willingness to correct employees' untruths made, deliberately or in error, on making changes in accounts on the phone.

    Do, please, review massive customer complaints about Comcast-Xfinity online BEFORE you call up and arrange to do business with them. After you're a customer what you're told on the phone may not be what you were led to believe, and you could even be strung along by a one-time Customer Loyalty credit. Make notes when you speak with Comcast employees. They may be duping you, and customer service has no authority to help you there!! Six MONTHS of increased billing that ensues just make that insult of a loyalty 'dog treat' laughable.

    Yes you can, as Customer Solutions said, write to a PO Box in Sterling, Michigan but there's no person named to address it to. You'd do better to write to the FCC and get a complaint file number, and if you're a member of a senior citizens blog with over 100,000 members like I am, be sure to share your experience with Comcast's deceptive telephone contracting for services! Or, let the company, customers, stockholders, government and other watchdog groups get yet another vote for Comcast to get the Worst Company Award of the year, decade, century!! I'm ready to invest in wireless.

    Factual Summary: I contracted for services. I noted affirmative billing for the next 12 months. I was misinformed or lied to because the employee did not inform me part of the services was for 6, not 12 months so the bill went up. Comcast cannot and will not honor the 12 month cost I agreed to, cannot or will not prevent this from happening anytime or every time, has a Customer Solutions department with no intent to provide solutions when employees may be involved in defrauding a customer by falsely answering questions. Why would they -- since integrity and ethics obviously has no presence in this corporate entity?

    Absolutely the worst experience of my life!!! The move took well over 9 hours on the phone (and many more since then), they messed up everything! Disconnected our phone at the existing house, yet it was not connected and could not be transferred to the new house, so they left us with no phone at either house and they swore the phone was at one location when it was physically at another location, they didn't even know what they had done. Then the cable was not connected at the new house, internet did not work at the new house, I had to get it fixed and all it was is that they had not plugged in the connection that comes from the street!

    They continue to charge us for services we asked from day 1 to not have - sports entertainment package, and service protection plan - I have to keep calling and yet the charges appear again. None of the services were set up correctly, wasted so much of my time, and they continue to sneak charges. I guess they think we won't look at our bills.

    We had Comcast when we lived in Baltimore and had several issues, luckily Verizon offered cable and we were able to switch. We had Comcast/Xfinity at our house at least once a month with reception issues or simply no cable/internet service. Once we switched to Verizon we did not have a single issue, not a single issue. We relocated to CT, unfortunately our only option was satellite or Xfinity. We made the wrong choice. We live in an area with several trees and were afraid that would be an issue with satellite. Well it's been a year and a half, we've had a repair person or a hour plus conversation (after the usual unplugging the box repair) with customer service at least every other month. Once the contract is up we're going satellite of 100% smart tv. This is ridiculous. As I write this my tv is constantly pixelating, yes this is after the recommended "unplug the box" repair. P. S.

I escalated to several managers, never receiving a reply.

    In the end, I went 9 days with no internet or phone service for my business which is based on sales and incoming calls. I was told the reason for the delay was that the associate who originally set up the move did not properly set up the phone transfer as I was moving to a new area code. At the end of the day, I was forced to pay for a temporary internet service, wasted over 15 hours on the phone with Comcast and went 9 days with a business that could not be run.

    The installer finally came on 2/9 and apparently installed the lines incorrectly which shut my cable system down. The residential cable tech fixed the issue and also informed me that the area code is the same as my old location. I have since confirmed that is the case. I ended up filing a complaint with the BBB last week and received a call back from Comcast.

    In December I contacted Comcast to set up service at my son's new apartment in the city he was going to college. Requested a start date of January 13, 2016. Shortly after my soon moved in his TV and internet service were not working. Odd, thought maybe it was an outage. Called Comcast and I was informed much to my surprise that the services were interrupted because of a past due balance from our first bill starting in December. I found this very disturbing because I did not request the service to begin until January 13, 2016. We had never received a bill and another tenant was living there until the last day of December 2015. This made me wonder why Comcast would bill 2 different accounts for the same address, for the same time period and why would a service be interrupted without a bill being sent. This I found all very strange.

    I called Comcast and after being disconnected and transferred 5 times, Kelli a supervisor in the billing department said she saw the problem and would get the bill corrected and issue a new bill. Not long after speaking with Comcast I received another call from the Comcast collections department. They were calling because I had a past due balance and the services were going to be t/off again. Spoke to another billing supervisor Patricia and she assured me that the services were not going to be interrupted and we should see a new bill soon. I asked Patricia what I should do if the service was t/off again. Patricia informed me that was not going to happen and that I could call back and speak with her if it did. She also waived the 12 dollar disconnect fee. Why would I have a disconnect fee when the billing error was not my fault?

    Today 02/10/16 the services have been t/off once again. Patricia was wrong, very, very wrong. Called Comcast again spoke to supervisor Josh. Josh informed me after reviewing the account that the services were off because of the past due balance. I asked Josh how I was to pay a bill I have never received. He stated that it was sent and Comcast could not t/on the service until it was paid. Asked to speak with his supervisor and he put in a request for a callback and stated it would be 24-48 hours before they would call. I asked for his supervisor's supervisor at which time he refused, stated he was putting in call back and that is all that can be done. I find these events very sad for a company the size of Comcast and I plan to change the service to DirecTV. Just wanted to let anyone that would listen know DO NOT USE COMCAST SERVICE FOR TV OR INTERNET.

    I didn't want to get Comcast to begin with but where we moved to AT&T Uverse doesn't get a good signal so I signed us up for the triple play with cable internet and security. In the beginning the service was ok at best but the problems began after the first few months of service with the kids' bedroom box "intermittently" cutting in and out. After troubleshooting tech came out and replaced the coax cable in the bedroom and also found an issue with the coax cable for the wifi which he replaced. All this with no charge to my account. The second issue arose several weeks later with the internet which they boast is the fastest download and upload speeds at 75 mbps however mine was barely getting 20mbps. After troubleshooting with customer service and having them assure me that I was not going to be charged for a tech visit we scheduled the repair.

    Tech came out, replaced the coax cable again and advised me that the only way I was going to get the maximum speed was to have my laptop directly connected to the modem... Hmmm interesting but ok, whatever. Tech leaves, no problem right? Wrong! I find that my account is charged a $70 tech visit for THEIR faulty equipment. I call to have this charge removed to be told it has been escalated to a manager and it would be taken care of, no worries. Wrong again! I pay my bill minus the $70 that I was assured would be removed only to have my service disconnected some days later for nonpayment. I try to rectify the situation but I cannot connect to customer service as I keep getting directed to billing which tells me that I have to pay my bill to have service restored and there's nothing they can do.

    I am completely and utterly livid at this point as I have company over so not to mention how embarrassing this feels. I pay the bill and immediately speak with customer service who apologizes and assures me I will receive a $70 credit to my account. This took me several calls and escalations to have this credit applied and you'd think my troubles would end there! Absolutely not. As we speak I am now experiencing issues with my security system. It began a couple months ago with my camera not working. Spoke with customer service who was clearly working from home because I heard her dog barking in the background and she'd try to mask out the sound by muting herself.

    Anyhow, went through troubleshooting and she told me that she can have a tech come out but I would be charged for the visit even though it's THEIR faulty equipment and offered a plan for me to pay an additional $4.99/month on top of the $220 that I already pay for this b.s. service which of course I decline and choose to go without the camera. Last week the security system app stops working and the touch screen is offline so I get a call from Comcast to troubleshoot which we did and found a tech needed to come out. They of course conned me into the $4.99/month and scheduled the tech. I receive 5 calls from some advanced technical department (foreigners) to do more troubleshooting which consisted of the exact same steps as we did with cust service which somehow brought the security system back online.

    However, since the camera is still not working I requested the tech still to come. I received 3 more calls from the "advanced technical support" group for the exact same issue to do the exact same steps with the camera. The last person I spoke with I requested he notated for them to not call me again and he said that he would. Not even 5 mins later I received another call! I have never in my life written a review but this has been the absolute worst experience, the worst service that I have ever received. Overpriced crappy service and I hope to be rid of them soon! Buyer beware!

    I have NEVER interacted with a company that has poor service as much as Comcast. I moved and was going to transfer my service to my new address. I set the date to move in 4 days. They erroneously disconnected my service immediately. I called and they reconnected but not all my channels I had paid for so I had to call them again. Then I called back to move my service to new location. Again, they did not give me all my channels then disconnected me. I spent over 12 hours on and off the phone over a 4 day period. Then I called and cancelled my service over the phone. They said it was cancelled and to return my equipment.

    I returned equipment and then closed out my account at the actual office. Then I received a bill so I paid it. The next day I received another bill showing that I had closed out my account and that I only owed $32 vs $129 so I contacted them and ask when my refund would be mailed. Comcast customer rep told me my service was still active. I told her it was closed on 1/21. She said her computers were down and she would call me within 7 days and confirm my account was closed and that I would receive a refund in 4 - 6 weeks. It has been a nightmare.

    Like most consumers, I was a bit dissatisfied when my Promotional Rate ended. So I called the Customer Care department to inquire about new or additional promotions. Long story short, I spoke with 4 different Reps who all lacked Empathy and were very uncaring. Please keep in mind that one of these Reps was a "Supervisor". Each of these Reps were told that I would possibly have to seek alternative services if they were unable to assist. Each one of them said "OK".

    I have received a bill from Comcast faithfully every month and have paid faithfully every month on time or early. I have not received any upgrades or had anyone out to explain that services are going to be wonderful for me and my family once the price increases. I say that because I'm unsure why I have to pay a higher rate for the same POOR SERVICE. All of our TVs have experienced some problem or another related to Comcast since we've had the service. None of our Remote Controls have worked properly since we've had the service. Every time I call Comcast, for anything, I have to hold for a minimum of 15 mins before someone tells me to call back tomorrow or there is nothing they can do for me. Comcast really needs to step up their game as it pertains to Customer Service.

    I don't have room for the detailed summary (it's 4 pages single spaced). We've been without cable for almost a month - multiple technicians and phone calls each telling us they promised to resolve our issue (1st technician never showed up despite us waiting for 2 hours then being told he'd be there within another hour). Total amount of OUR time spent (I started keeping track AFTER first missed appt) so this is on the low end: 17.5 hours waiting or at home with technicians and over 7.5 hours on the phone (calculated based upon cell phone records). This doesn't include multiple calls from my husband.

    Ultimately, they discovered the box they gave us was the problem. 20 minute install of new box, WOW it works now. Oh, and by the way - couldn't get any kind of response until we filed FCC Complaint. While that initially got corporate's attention - but even they didn't call back when they promised (and of course, they don't give YOU a number - heaven forbid you actually have the ability to call them).

    NOW, they want to make sure to compensate us for our troubles. I sent them the 4 pager. They agreed what we went through was awful and credited us a WHOLE month of cable - and then act like they're doing US a favor (by the way, did I fail to mention that we DIDN'T HAVE CABLE for most of the month). But wait, they threw in internet. $55 more dollars. SO generous. I guess according to COMCAST $55 is fair compensation for over 25 hours of their customer's time that could have been resolved in 20 minutes. Absolutely HORRIBLE excuse for customer service.

I have been experiencing on and off issues for years with them and been waiting patiently for U-verse to come to my neighborhood with no such luck. Comcast doesn't fail to send us a bill each month and or raise their prices but they fail providing us the service we pay for. I did a huge mistake by ordering their new TV service X1 platform. Over half of the time it doesn't work. The internet speed isn't the speed we are being promised to receive when it is working. I've called Comcast customer care numerous times and even Comcast corporate.

    I've had techs out to my home, change all the wiring outside as well as equipment and nothing. The service will work for a day and back down the next. There have been 4-5 outages a week with Comcast since the end of Dec 2015. I am now given the runaround and told no there is a issue in the area which they're unsure when and if it will be resolved. I am first told a week then a week and a half and then a month or more. One tech left broken cables and connectors in my home knowingly there is a toddler in my home. Could've been a choking hazard. This company is a joke and do not care about their customers. I have asked Comcast since they're unable to resolve the issue “Why not just stop providing our area and stop robbing us customers from our hard earn money.” This company is a scam and should be put out of business once and for all.

Check the bill, 50.00 odd dollars in charges.

    Try to speak to customer service to work all this out, told we're wrong. They refuse to correct this bill.

    I went in to get support for my Comcast system which is a required feature Comcast promises under the contract signed with the service. I specifically instructed them NOT to sign me up for paper billing. I am an accountant and live by obtaining the receipts for the businesses I do work with. It is the only way to enforce contracts when breaches occur. I clicked on support and it brought me to a page that asks if I want to be signed up for paperless billing. It then gives you the option of signing out or accepting. There is no option whatsoever to refuse and still obtain online support. I contacted a third level manager and this manager promised I would not have to sign up for the paperless billing but then decided between the time I spoke with him and the time he promises to get back to me to sign me up for paperless billing then un-enroll me from paperless billing.

    I had instructed him I do not want to agree and do not agree yet they decided to go ahead and do so anyway. I went into my system again today and the same pop up came up stating I had to sign up or I would not be given support whatsoever. Do not trust this company. They are disreputable. It is unfortunate as I have enjoyed a long term (over a decade) relation with this company but now they are forcing their customers to sign up for paperless billing. Instead of stating to the customer that paper billing is more expensive and they can no longer afford, which is what I believe they are facing, to continue to send everyone paper billing they take away support if you won't agree to online billing. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY FOR ANYTHING in the future. The third level manager is still working on the problem.

    I had internet set up with Comcast in my new apartment and before the technician left, he said that it may be a bit slow until it finished its updates. Not only was it slow, but it would not connect to my Roku at all (however, the wifi hotspot on my phone did without any issue or delay). In the midst of that, I had called inquiring about cable but decided that $137 was too steep for me and the internet service continued to decline in quality.

    I made between 6-8 calls to Comcast over the next 2 days attempting to resolve the issue. Twice the call was disconnected and I was not called back, once I was told that there would be a service charge between $25-50, once I was told there was nothing wrong with the unit (over the phone), once I was told that they would waive the fee (which was then $40, not the $25-50 the previous rep had said) and once I requested a supervisor's assistance to which I was told that all supervisors were in a meeting and one would call me back in 30 minutes - that also never happened.

    I finally got fed up with the whole thing and cancelled after 3 days and was told that I had to return the equipment to a UPS store to avoid being charged for it. The next day, I received a box with a security camera and a cable modem! I went online to my account, and guess who had added additional services to my account without my consent - COMCAST! I called and they tried to smooth it over by saying that the package was sent, but there was no plan set up for it on my account. "Then why is it listed as a service on my online account page?" I asked. I was told that they didn't know, but they didn't show it in their system. I cancelled my account and took all of their equipment back to UPS that day.

    Just gotta love this. They expect us to pay our bills in a timely fashion for services rendered. TV service... never had a real issue that was not resolved immediately. Kudos for that. Internet however is another story. How the hell do you expect me to happily pay for internet service portion of my bill when I have averaged over 230 disconnects a week?? Some days are good... but most are atrocious. Equipment in the home swapped out several times and yet still constant disconnects. Do NOT tell me it's in the home. I don't buy it for a second. There is an issue outside the home, which numerous agents have admitted to seeing in my neighborhood.

    If I could only pay for the TV portion of my bill I would. I cannot see paying for internet service that makes dial-up look preferable. I am however paying the full bill since I have no other recourse. Get your crap together for crying out loud. 5 months of constant disconnects after all the in home equipment has been swapped out several times?? Logic dictates it is an outside issue causing the problems. But then again following logic implies intelligence... (disconnected while I was typing this... go figure.)

    I wish we could give them 0 stars. When I first set up this account a year and a half ago, they set up two accounts in my name and attempted to bill me for two of the same service for four months. After many phone calls with them, it was finally resolved. I did really like their service after that and thought it had been an honest mistake with the initial account set up. Fast forward to less than two months ago: We moved a few miles away from our previous residence, and found out that Comcast Cable does not service the area. When I called to cancel my account, I was told at first that I needed to pay an early termination fee. I disputed this charge and after several phone calls and being bounced around to different departments, it had not been resolved.

    In the meantime, two weeks after we moved (one of those weeks was Christmas), they had already sent us to an informal collections for our equipment, tacked on an "un-returned equipment fee" and we were receiving several phone calls a day telling us to return the equipment. So then we went to the store and they gladly took the equipment, but then I was told that they "don't have access to your billing account" and they gave me the number for Comcast. I called Comcast in the Comcast store and was told to wait a week to call them back to confirm it had been resolved. A week later, I spoke with someone who told me that it was all taken care of and I was not responsible for the fee.

    A week later, I received another call from them again, attempting to collect the fee and they acted like it had not be resolved. I was able to "resolve" it on that call by speaking with an agent and this time, I insisted that I receive a confirmation number, ensuring me that termination fee had been removed from my account. When I checked my mail today, I had received a bill from Comcast for the fee as well as a Collections Notice from Credit Collection Services. Keep in mind that I returned their equipment when we went to the store two weeks after we moved.

    Also, we moved on Dec. 15th. It is now Feb. 1st, which means that while it took them forever to get my account set up right in the first place, they somehow managed to send me to informal collections for the equipment within 2 weeks and then to actual collections over a fee they should have never tried to collect, within 45 days. Maybe I should send them to collections for the hours and hours of my time they wasted when they first set my account up wrong and then billed me incorrectly when I closed it.

    We have ordered service from Comcast and signed a two year contract. At time of signing we were notified that we can cancel early and we will have to pay an early termination fee of $250.00, also that we can change any of the services such as downgrade or upgrade with no issues. As you know the market changes everyday and Verizon has offered us a deal we cannot refuse with no contract or obligation. I have called Comcast regardless the better deal from Verizon and explained that we no longer have televisions in the office and would like to just remove the Television service. Their response was I would have to pay early termination fee for the TV. Now I am starting to get upset so I asked worst case if I cancel everything what will be my early termination fee and guess what? It is $2100.00.

    I asked to show it to me that on the contract and the only thing they showed me is under termination fee on the contract there is a website address which you have to log into and that is where it explains that you have to pay 75% of your monthly bill X the remainder of the contract, in my case it is 17 months. I thought it was bogus so I decided to call Sarah ** who was my inside rep and was the sweetest customer rep I have ever spoke to at time of purchase. Now her answers to my question about termination fee is: "I have checked the system and did not see a record of conversation with you today", after I called twice. I was not looking for a conversation times or specific posting, just looking for a simple answer "what is my early termination fee". I can pull hair out of my teeth and still get no answer, completely being ignored by customer service.

    Beware, the contract and the promises is a total scam and false promises. Read the terms and condition. The funny thing that makes me very concern is how do I know when is the terms and conditions were changed they were never presented to me in writing and a $250.00 early termination was promised which is a total bogus. Stay away. The worst customer service ever.

    3 different installers attempted to do install, but could not because service line from road to house needed to be replaced. The 3rd installer who described the reason it would take an additional week to obtain my long-standing phone number from my present provider indicated that the work order was to connect one (1) TV; I have five (5). Due to the increase of TVs, the work order and contract were invalid as well as the monthly rate I had been quoted. The monthly rate would increase substantially. Was this a "bait & switch" tactic? What is the competence of maintenance to restore the line prior to having an installer arrive? I cancelled several appointments to be present for the installers. Due to the nature of robocalls used to schedule the installers, I could not state the problem of a "non-serviceable line." I have reported this complaint to the FCC.

    I have contacted COMCAST by phone for one month, twice a week, to try to resolve the problem, with no success. Last month when I tried to obtain services, I was told that the apartment had a $400 dollars debt. The apartment was leased through August 2015. The contract for COMCAST services was between the tenant and COMCAST. I was not even aware that the tenants had COMCAST services. I was told that the debt was associated to the apartment rather than the tenants. This cannot be legal. An apartment cannot enter into a contract, only individuals can. Resolution expected from COMCAST: Remove the debt from the apartment.

    The day after this experience, I received a call from Comcast and they restored my ability to use credit cards. There is still hope yet for this internet provider Giant!

    Original Review: Jan. 27, 2016

    This is probably one of the worst companies I have ever had to deal with. In order to keep my services I had to give them a credit card number that would withdraw my funds a week later. The week passed and they made an attempt to withdraw. By the time this happened, a charge hit my card that I wasn't aware of. So they were not able to make the withdrawal. I called them to try to use another card and was told that I would not be able to use another credit card, claiming that there was fraud on my account. They said that I would need to call my bank to get that cleared up. I got my bank on the line and did a 3-way call with Comcast. Then their story changed. They said that they had run my credit and since my score was low, I wouldn't be able to use a card again.

    I have never had a problem with any other company in the past. Usually if one card doesn't work, the merchant will just ask for another one. Not Comcast! I am now placed on a 6-month ban for using a credit card. Most of the agents, including supervisors were rude and could care less whether I was a customer or not. When I told them that they were losing a customer, they told me to make sure and turn in my boxes. I am disgusted. I am sure that most people at some point in their lives have had a credit card that was declined. Unless you are well off, in which case you probably couldn't relate. This company is unreasonable and does not know how to treat loyal customers. I am going to be seeking internet service elsewhere now...

    I received our Dec. 2015 billing. I pay $64.98 mo. Well the Dec. billing was $164.00+. According to Comcast our Nov. billing was not received until 01/12/16, I wrote and mailed the payment of $64.98 on 12/28/15. So we called Comcast to straighten the mess out. The customer service rep who took our call was rude and accusatory. He told us that the late charge of $14.50 will remain on the bill and we have to pay it and take the matter to our postal service. I was appalled by his comments. I requested to speak to another person.

    After 10 minutes of holding, another person (a woman) who spoke to us that resembled a script from a movie, was a little bit helpful. And after pulling our history with Comcast (since 1999, yeah, I was stunned to discover I have remained a loyal diligent paying customer ever since and this is the service I got from them in return, I kicked myself, I am stupid for being a Comcast customer), to make a long story short, I handed the phone to my husband and he waited patiently as the customer service rep waived the late fee and other charges that they added onto the bill, while I called other cable and internet providers.

    I have been with Comcast for three months and when I signed up for service I was promised a 100 gift card for signing up with them with the Triple Play. I made four calls to Comcast about the gift card, which they told me you had to wait 90 days until you get the card. During the four times I was on the phone with the untrained customer reps, no one told me if you're late or have any problems with your account you will not get the card. Do not sign up for the Triple Play and think you are to get a gift card, if so don't be late because you will never receive it. Poor customer service, will not be using them anymore after my 12 months is done. Choose a better provider when choosing your cable service.

    My experience dating back to sept 2015 when I had to use them due to my new residence not using AT&T. They rake you over the coals with costs so I used the self install kits. My TV box didn't work. They sent a technician and he informed me it was the wrong remote control. Hilarious right? He made a note of such and I called while he was there to inform xfinity I would not be charged for the service call due to faulty equipment. They charged me $70. It took 14 phone calls (yes, literally) and 3 months to get that charge off my bill (whilst they threatened to cut my service). The cable is good. The internet. I work remotely for an insurance company so had to pay extra for 105 mbps. The internet goes out so frequently it is laughable.

    My IT people created a graph showing the activity on my PC through xfinity. Xfinity would not let me email it to any techs. Instead they said (get this) it might be the equipment and that they could come out since my upload and download speeds are below 50 mbps. BUT if its with the house they will bill me for service call. The internet worked well the first month, very fast and since has gotten slower and slower logging me off my work system throughout the day. I have spend many a day on the phone with xfinity "troubleshooting". I have great difficulty communicating with the support staff due to language barriers. But what basically happens is they remotely reset my modem or tell me to unplug then plug back in.

    On December 16 there was NO service during the day. I called and they said that the outage was due to maintenance and would be back on at 8pm!!! They said they would prorate my bill for that day... They did not... I hung up today after 20 minutes. In my 45 years of being alive and in my 20 years of dealing with companies, government entities and quality management I have never dealt with such an unprofessional and awful company and product. Fee after fees.. the runaround... and then nothing to show for your hours on the phone with them. This is how they become so wealthy... People give up and let the big company just straddle them up.

    Comcast installers apparently dug a trench in my backyard when no one was home and ran a new underground cable under my driveway to my house. The cover was taken off the distribution box on the wall and left on the ground. Several large coils of the connected orange coax cable were left against my house next to my door and at the pole at the rear of my lot, none of which were connected to anything. I now have 2 runs of the orange coax that are not connected to anything.

    I have never had Comcast service at this location and did not order the service. My guess is that the installers came to the wrong address, dug and ran the cable, then took off when they realized their mistake. No notes, no calls, nothing from Comcast. I called Comcast on Jan. 13, 2016 and explained the situation. I was promised a call from a supervisor by 10:15 am on Jan. 14 and repair by 10:25 on Jan. 15. I received no response.

    Comcast has to be the worst! I called to remove two features off of my account which was Digital Preferred, (because the price I pay isn't worth the channels I catch) and Sports Entertainment package. I was offered a package with the same cable service I had (Digital Starter) & faster internet w/1 year contract, for less than what I've been paying. I stressed several times I only called to remove those two features, because I needed to have certain channels (ex. Disney)! Being that I was assured my channels would remain the same, I decided to take advantage of the feature I was offered. Well, how I'm not surprised!! Changes took effect today. What's missing??? Disney channel, along with almost every other channel I had previously! So, I call, to get what I agreed to! Of course, the rep, could not help me, besides telling me I now have basic cable (which was obvious by this point, but, again, not what I asked for neither agreed to).

    After demanding I get what I was offered and agreed to, the customer rep placed me on hold, until 5:02 PM then transferred me back into the call queue, at which point the automated system indicated that the office was now closed (on a Sunday)! HOW DISRESPECTFUL AND UNPROFESSIONAL!!! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND COMCAST TO ANYONE!!!

    It seems that Comcast can raise rates for services on a sidetrack while I'm locked in a two-year contract for a double play at 99.99... My bill is now 128.24 while I've only upgraded one service, which is the internet speed. They can slip in a "broadcast fee" for whatever they please and we're stuck paying it until the contract has expired, and in my case that is 14 months from now. The fee were raised 5 dollars per month in just one month. Looks like this is going to be a long 14 months. I really think this is a sneaky way of tacking on fee while still be able to keep a person locked in a contract. Before anyone says that I should "read" the contract before agreeing, my husband was the one that agreed to it and now he's out of the picture. NOT ONLY that, but if I move in with another person who already has Comcast, I'm still stuck paying the termination fees.

Again no one has shown up. I called customer service only to be given the run around again. Someone help me understand this. I'm in the city where there are poles and wires everywhere you turn. Also, my neighbor that is literally 5 feet away from my house has Comcast. He stated there was no problem getting service. A friend of mine who is a tech for Xfinity came by to see if the tech could have done the install. He also agreed the tech could have done my install.

    Comcast is the consummate automated company where computer programs run the company and the people that work for it are useless. I was an internet customer for about 8 years when I decided to let them have my TV business and switched to the triple play when I moved on November 4th. Even though they were supposed to install me on the fifth my nightmare began learning the day before that they could not install me before December. I would never have changed my TV services to them if I knew that because I run my business with their internet services and I would surely be out of business if I were shut down for 30 days.

    I threatened to sue and started receiving action, finally promised installation of basic services for the internet by November 8th. The serviceman who came that day told me he couldn't install me and when I threatened to call his supervisor he began ripping up my walls looking for cable. He spent three hours here, did damage to the house and installed everything incorrectly. I put in a ticket for damages that has never been acted upon, even though I complained about it for separate times.

    The second service call the installation department advised me that due to the inconvenience they waived my installation fee. Because there was a wait I made crude connections to at least give me internet services, but experienced frequent outages because the wrong equipment was installed. On the second service call, a third was scheduled for the TV in all four rooms.

    They missed the third and fourth service calls and each missed appointment even with accelerated rescheduling you wait four or five days. Well to limit this to an amount that can be read on the eighth call they finally installed my TV services. But I still do not have the third part of Triple play three months later. I received my third bill on January 8th and noticed there was a second bill never sent. I learned that their automated service billed me three times for the same installation even though I was promised on the second call it would be free and noticed that none of the seven promised $20 credits were given. They have me owing them $750 for two months of service. I paid the first bill promptly.

    I can document speaking with five supervisors. They each acknowledge what was done wrong and that I was entitled to relief and each promised to make it right. But apparently Comcast strips supervisors of any meaningful authority and their automated billing system takes over. They never even sent me a complaint form for any of the problems I experienced. They just provide ticket numbers and no one has authority to do anything.

    I contacted a lawyer and intend to follow up with a complaint to Congress. Congress should look into them as possibly violating monopoly protections because they use their money and influence to steal business from competitors, where they don't honor the inducements. Unless you enjoy aggravation you should steer clear of Comcast Cable.

I was not sure why they increased the bill by five dollars so I called and talked to one of representative. However, this representative did not what the heck she was talking about and I don't think she even had a clue why the bill increased by five dollars.

    She kept saying $44.99 is still a promotion value for same internet speed over and over again. But $44.99 is NOT what I signed up for!! I told her to let me talk to supervisor but she told me supervisor was busy. Well, I'm a busy person, too. Does she think I like talking to her for more than an hour?

    Since the day I got Comcast has been a headache. Got the package of cable and Internet $79.99 in September. They said the installation was free. Got two bills in sept. The 1st one for $164 and on sept 27th for $79.19 so my first month was for $243.49. Besides the installation was bad. Since the day I got they wanted me to charge a technician fee of $39.99. I decide not to pay it because they did the connection bad. After several calls they accept not to charge me. Then again my cable was not working. I call several times two hours on the phone. Again they want me to charge for a third technician to come to my house due to "the old box of cable". I got (weeks with no cable) until November that I decide to disconnect the cable because was giving me too much problems.

    Had been waiting since sept to adjust my bills and accounts and finally now in Jan the 8th I got rid of my internet connections. They keep telling me to pay all the excessive charges that I was not willing to pay. Have went to the store many times and call and until now they can't get the adjustments right. They are charging me $79.99 more that still I'm not willing to pay. This company in Cape Coral doesn't work right. Still fighting for it. Such a waste of time and bad flavor.

    I signed up for a TV service promo back in May 2015. The promo was suppose to be good for 1 year. Then back in July 2015 I bundled my service by adding internet. The bundle promo price was $49.99 plus equipment leasing fees, taxes, etc... and the promo price was suppose to be good for 1 year. However in December 2015 I was taken out of my promo bundle price and charged $20 more, then in January I was charged $30 more.

    When I called in with my concerns about my bill I was told at first by a manager that he was going to have my info sent to the department that could fix my problem by that department entering in the correct codes that would put me back in my promo that hadn't expired on my account yet and I would be contacted by email when the problem was fixed. I in turned stated I would pay my bill as soon as the problem was fixed.

    I checked my balance every couple of days and the balance remained the same until I checked yesterday 01/13/16 the balance was now more than doubled. I called in and was althoughly told Xfinity/Comcast is not offering that promo anymore so if I wanted to keep my current service I would have to pay the new price or choose another promo that would result in me losing some of my services at around the same price or I would have to upgrade and pay more. This not good business, they are currently offer all types of promos on their website right now that says good for 1 year when that is not true. They should put the price is subject to change whenever.

    After 16 years I discontinued service last Fall due to worst experience and returned rental equipment by UPS which was delivered on 2 Oct 2015. Since then they have been harassing me with at least 16 phone calls, latest from a collection agency. I have the delivery receipt and the phone logs. Any idea to put it to rest and hold Comcast accountable?

    Comcast is unbelievable in how easily and continuously they raise their prices. I have been with them for a little over 3 years now, and every year they raise their price 20-30%. They have a monopoly and can do whatever they want. It is unbelievable!

    I was about 10 days late paying my latest bill when I received a call from Comcast. I told the agent that I would be able to pay within a few days. The agent asked me for my debit card number so that they could charge the amount at that time. I agreed and gave her my number. A week later, I noticed that not only had Comcast deducted the amount I owed, but they went ahead and charged my card for the upcoming charge which would not have been due to them for another 3 weeks.

    I called Comcast and explained the situation. I spoke with an agent named Angela. She apologized profusely and told me that it was their policy to always verify the amount before any charges would be processed and a refund had been authorized. After 5 days no refund. Called Comcast to find that no refund was being processed and I was forced to call my bank and institute a fraud investigation. I also asked my bank to disallow Comcast from making any further charges on my debit card account.

    This has been the worst experience ever. Every day there is something wrong with the Internet or TV. You cannot have a peaceful day watching TV and be happy. Then when the entire community was out of internet they send an tech to your house but have the nerve of charging you when it's their fault, not to mention every month the bill goes up. I would never recommend this company to anyone and with that said I will go to your competition.

    Am currently on the phone with one of your representatives 8:25pm or so. This call began with her but prior I was on the line for over an hour and a half. I spoke with a gentleman who transferred me after I initially called to disconnect services stating his part of customer service does not disconnect. So many departments so little service. After being transferred Tasha picks up your line it take 20 minutes as she would not disconnect the services after being repeatedly asked to. She kept telling us about different services, we declined. I became very upset as she started to speak over me. I handed my daughter the phone because Tasha refused to listen as she continued about phone services which if I am calling to cancel services I do not need. She chuckled throughout the call.

    I have had experiences with your customer service but nothing like this. I would have stayed a customer just a while longer but Tasha definitely sealed the deal. Hopefully something will be done regarding this party maybe speaking with her but I'm very sure she would cause your business to lose more and more each day unless retrained. She advised me when asked that they are not required to give their employee identification number as I understood but she did advise which I hope she was honest about that her Location was in Mississippi.

    Please contact me at ** as this was my number linked to my account with your company. She also put in a ticket number for a box I did not have but she said has been on my account as "free" of monthly charges. I have only had one television one tiny little box for cable so I'm not sure how this appeared on my account. I'm just completely dissatisfied with your service and your customer service is simply awful, disrespectful and it's not actually service, it's a blatant disrespect for your customer. But I guess if you're as big as your company is who would care how your customers are treated? It's simply about the money.

    My ending balance as of today per automated system and Tasha was 175.10. I will pay this and be overjoyed to never have to contact your company again as this was the worst experience ever. I will make sure to advise others that I haven't spoken to who already are disgusted with your service that they should stay away. Verizon and Xfinity/Comcast became the worst merger especially regarding their customer service. Thank you for reading. I'm sure your company will never answer but at least I sent it by email and posted it to Google

    Comcast canceled the TV guide channel 96. What a cheap ass company! Now you have to upgrade to a more expensive TV package just to get the TV guide channel. Plan to dump Comcast.
