A few days ago, I spoke to a salesperson to get service. I agreed to pay $109 without phone service, and that was the deal I made with them, plus $12 extra in order for me to get 105 Mbps of internet speed. I was also charged for three boxes. When the technician showed up and set up my service in my home, I got 12 Mbps instead of 105 Mbps. When I asked him why this had happened, he said that I should call the company so they could send me a technician from a different department to get a booster so I could get the internet speed I originally paid for.
One of the customer service representatives told me to go to Best Buy and purchase the booster since the company didn't have them anymore. Another representative told me that my area does not have 105 Mbps. Now I am getting confused because the salesperson told me that I could get 105 Mbps, and the website also says I can get 105 Mbps. But now, the customer service representative is telling me that I cannot reach 105 Mbps, so now I'm confused. I'm urging every Comcast customer to check their internet speed, and see if it's what they're paying for. Comcast lies about what they promise to provide, and overcharges!

It's so frustrating to down $250/month to have trouble with service almost 90% of the time. I get anxiety just trying to change channels. Everything freezes and most of the time I get a "we are having trouble connecting to the server" message. Can’t wait to switch to another company. Called customer service more than 3 times, get someone on the other end that is clearly reading from a script and has no idea what they're saying.

Does Comcast (Xfinity) deliberately mislead and tell untruths to its customers? That has been my experience on several occasions. What's that $4.99 a month "service protection plan" that I explicitly declined? Why am I being charged $1.99 a month for an "additional outlet"? Yes, ** in Guadalajara tells me, "that's a mistake." So why does it remain on my bill month after month? Why are they charging me $14.99 for Showtime when they told me they are giving me that as a free promotion for a month? I told them that I didn't want Showtime!
I've spent way too many hours (and I mean HOURS) on the phone when my new digital set-top box refused to cooperate. On two Sundays in a row I was unable to tune into 60 Minutes on CBS. Error message says 'the channel is temporarily not accessible.' It happens that a number of channels were not accessible. "Don't worry," ** assures me. She promises a refund for the service outages and tells me she will send me an email describing the refund. No email and no refund were ever received. "We can't email you," another customer service representative in the Philippines tells me in a subsequent call. And he adds that they are not authorized to arrange any refunds or tackle billing problems.
Does Comcast school their army of customer services representatives to lie to customers? Has Comcast consciously erected walls between billing, tech support and service reps to maximum customer frustration? Do they have a playbook for that? Maybe 60 Minutes has investigated this phenomenon. Unfortunately, I can't see 60 Minutes these days.

Consumer beware. I found out that my internet usage has been capped at 300 gb only after I received an outrageous bill from Comcast. Apparently, they are now allowing up to 300 gb of data usage only, and after exceeding this limit you are charged an additional $10 per 50gb thereafter. Apparently, they are only doing this so called test in certain areas of the country and are working on making this a national requirement. It may not be affecting you now but if you're a Comcast customer, it will be affecting you soon. If this isn't gouging the customer I don't know what is.
Where is the regulatory force on this one? It's only a matter of time Comcast. We are at a day and age when it's nearly impossible to do anything without using the internet. Just about every facet of our lives are intertwined with data usage such as school, bill pay, entertainment, research, business, banking, etc., the list goes on and you go and pull this **? Sucker the consumer in and stick it to them, the American way eh Comcast? Too bad I don't have any other options, you would have been canned a long time ago, but somehow I think you know that.

I called Comcast for an XFINITY package that they were advertising in late November. They had advertised $250 or a Samsung Tablet after 3. I told the sales rep that I was interested but that I would have to wait until late December for My DirecTV commitment to expire. He told me that I could sign up now for installation then and informed me that I qualified for free instillation. So I signed up. My first reflected an installation charge and was a bit more than I was quoted. I called and complained that I was informed that I had "free Installation." They said that I had free installation for 4 TV and I had 5 installed. I argued that I was not informed by the sales representative or the installer that there would be a charge for the fifth TV and eventually (after taking to 2 people for 45 minutes each) asked to talk to a manager who instantly offered to half the installation bill and lower my monthly bill.
I was happy with that so I paid my first bill and signed up for auto pay. The next bill was higher than expected so I called. After being told about 50 by 2 people that's just what my bill is and getting mad, I hung up and the next person explained that I was undercharged $50 the bill before. I checked my bank account and they were right, so I paid it and the next month auto pay kicked in. Now it's April 7th and no $250, so I called and was told that I was delinquent $50 so I did not qualify for it... MAD!!! I argued that it was no fault of my own and that I had paid my bill but was not charged the full price. I got "I understand but there's nothing we can do about it." Not cool! They gave me $50 discount and Showtime for 3 months..... It's something but it's not the $250 I was promised! Oh and to make all that more insulting, they said that it was for $100 only!

I found out today that Comcast will not connect cable to my residence into which I'm moving. I separated from my wife 2 years ago and she stayed in the residence until she could find a place to go. Our entire marriage she had the cable in her name. She stopped paying after I moved out. Now she left the residence and I am moving back in. I contacted Comcast to connect a new cable account for me. They told me there was a block on the address.
I called find out what was going on and they said they didn't care that it was a new account. They "won't" turn the service on for that address. Then they said the only way they would turn on service is if I call my ex-wife and get her to pay, or I could pay myself, even though I "don't have to". That is basic "strong arm tactics". It's not right that I have to pay another person's debt in order to get internet. I explained to them that I work from home and needed internet. They said that's way more of a reason to do their job and get my ex wife to pay...

This company should even been called a company. Their staff are not properly trained to deal with any situation.

I lost my sister in the middle of March and ask customer service if I made a $200 payment would I be able to pay the $98 by May 1st or second. I was told "You do not work out payments." And my cable and internet will be shut off by the seven days. What I explain to them I only get paid once a month. I am retired military the service would be shut off in 7 days as it will explain to me I was with AT&T for a long time you guys make AT&T look like angels.
I have never had such a bad experience on the phone with ** and ** and sold it so many times straight up lied to. Fortunately my phone calls are recorded. Never let the person who took my call when asked said anything about $100 installation fee. They told me my bill would only be $120 a month. It was then they did not mention the $8 equipment rental fee, was never mentioned in the car. Even my installation was very substandard yet I was charged 42 extra lines that were never installed in my house. Comcast is straight-up liars. I have recorded phone calls that I am going to put on YouTube. I'm also going to talk to attorney.

We were moving out and requested Comcast Xfinity to disconnect our service two weeks prior to moving out. The following month Comcast continued to charge a full month service beyond the disconnection date. I called and inquired this, and the answer was, "We continue to charge in case our customer changes his mind." Our disconnection request was not heeded, and they charged although we no longer are in the house. BEWARE of this company and its business practice. Ten days later, and we have not been reimbursed for this charge. COMCAST should be in trouble for such business practices.

I have Comcast TV/Internet provider. On one of my three TVs, the On Demand feature does not work (other boxes work). My several contacts with tech support were fruitless. Each time it took hours to reset the system, wait until it is reloaded, etc. Yesterday, after another unsuccessful attempt to remedy the problem, I was told I need to get a new box. I exchanged the box today, but it still does not work. I had to contact tech support again and go through the same routine and I was assured that this time after reloading it should work. AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMCAST WILL CONTACT ME TONIGHT BETWEEN 5 AND 9 PM to check for results. Nobody contacted me and now the office is closed. This is outrageous! I will have to call them again and waste time... Comcast is a monopoly that controls the entire market…

So disappointed with the lies and the customer service. When someone calls from Xfinity I just say "Thanks for calling and I don't want anything from your company." Constantly misinforming the customers and changing my bills for no reason. And when I call I feel like I am talking-to people who just don't give a crap. I just called this morning about my bill and the lady I talked to was so unprofessional. I was asking her to transfer me to a manager and she said the manager was not available. I was asking her to give me her last name or her worker ID but she refused. Then she told me that I wasn't even qualify for any promotion and hang up on me. If you read this please do yourself a favor and stay away from Comcast or Xfinity. Same company same garbage service.

Comcast is what happens when a company has a monopoly over an industry and could care less about the satisfaction of their victims. They are the only company in my area that offers cable internet, and it's been that way for decades. The price they charge for their service is never consistent, and they tack on new fees every month that you've never even heard of. Their prices gradually increase every year, yet they maintain the same slow cable internet speeds. They charge around $150 just for Internet and basic cable, which is ridiculously high seeing as how the costs of these technologies have gone way down.
It's 2015 and they only offer around 20 mbps internet speeds to start, which is over 50x slower than Gigabit fiber internet, which is the standard internet speed in many Asian and European countries. On top of that they charge around $70/month for their slow internet, which is the same or even higher than most Gigabit ISP providers. They do everything they can to stop other companies from providing Gigabit internet to their customers, claiming that their speed is "good enough" for the customer's needs.
They ONLY upgrade their speeds when competition starts to loosen their grips on their customers, like when the speed of DSL was nearly the same speed of their service for a lower price. Now Google Fiber is finally starting to shift the paradigm and offering super fast internet for the same or lower cost, and offering free internet just for the setup cost. I'm sincerely hoping that Google and other ISPs are able to provide true value and service that Comcast has always lacked.

I agree with others that the Customer service involves the first 45+ minutes on hold, then when you do get a shot, rarely ever helpful. But to add to this insult, My bill doubled. I was told not that I also have to pay for usage 300GB + along with the 45 for services, so Now I am at $80+ dollars a month for Internet Only. This seems illegal to have such a monopoly, meaning no other cable is allowed in the neighborhood, and be able to double the cost of internet without any change, no additional performance, no better customer service or billing practices, just a big increase in the bill for no justification. When asking and I am sure somewhere in the fineprint, somehow I agreed to this increase, at least that is what I am told. Anyone want to start a legal action, I am in.

On 2-28-15 Comcast came to my home to repair two lines another tech called in as bad. The new tech showed up on time and tested the lines and said the noise on the lines was acceptable; he did not need to change the lines. I asked him if he had any of the new small digital boxes with the HDMI connections. I told him I would like to replace two of them. While I was waiting for him in one room he decided to do the swap in another room by himself, my wife and I both heard a crash. I went to the room to see what happen. There was my 36" Samsung 6000 on the wood floor. Corner smashed bezel broken. Wood floor gouged!
He called a supervisor who came out took some pictures. That's the last contact from Comcast. I have called 5 times talked to three supervisors all from the Philippines. Each told me they would get right back to me. Over a month has gone by and nothing. They are such a large company that you have no recourse if they don't call you back!

I had no problem with Comcast (I'm a fairly new customer) until a couple of months ago, when I sent in a payment on my account. When the next month's bill came in, it showed this amount unpaid and past due. I double-checked my bank account to see what had happened with the payment. It HAD cleared my bank account. I called Comcast and was asked to fax a copy of the cancelled check to them, which I did. I was told it would be cleared up as soon as they received the check.
A week later, I called just to follow up. The amount was still not cleared up and I was told by a different rep that this type of matter could take up to 2-3 weeks to resolve because Comcast had to wait for information from THEIR bank to find out where the funds were erroneously posted. I explained that I understood their problem, but that they're trying to internally track a mistake in posting shouldn't prevent them from crediting my account (To add insult to injury, my Comcast account number was written in the memo portion of the check.).
The next day, I received a collections notice from on the account, and when I called to explain the situation, the "collector" insisted that I pay the disputed amount AGAIN and trust Comcast to credit it back to me when they got it straightened out, which I refused to do. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who told me he wouldn't even accept the reference number I offered so he could see for himself that the bill had, in fact, been paid.
After that lovely phone experience, I called the Comcast business number AGAIN, asked to speak to a supervisor, was refused, and was told that all the customer service reps could do was document my calls, because the problem was being handled by "accounts receivable". I asked for a phone call to someone who was actually working on the problem and was told the customer service rep was not "at liberty" to give me that information. But he assured me that he was taking the late fees (which I did not owe in the first place) off my account to make up for my "inconvenience".
To date the matter still isn't resolved. I would NEVER do business with Comcast business again, nor would I ever recommend them to anyone else. Oh, one other thing, just to REALLY add insult to injury, I get a junk mail come-on from Comcast business almost every day, urging me to sign up for the service I already have. This company needs SERIOUS help.

Beginning with my signing up for an account in August of 2014, I proceeded to pay for three months of HDTV, DVR, and several channels that never worked. After several attempts to resolve this with communications through both online chats and phone calls, my issue was finally resolved after they agreed to send out a tech to investigate my issue. Once the tech arrived, he proceeded to perform the same diagnostic checks that the original installer had done to no avail. Once completed, this tech eventually checked the connection on the back of my house and found an archaic filter attached to my connection cable. I had been billed, at this point, for 3 months of services I never received. After this semi-competent tech repaired the outdated lines on my home, all was fine for several months.
After this issue was resolved, the billing nightmare began. My bills began to reflect payment dates that apparently had no bearing or connection to reality. I was told that my next bill was not due until the normal time of the following month, yet my service was cut off on 3/30/2015. I called in and paid the required "past due balance," and my service was restored. I returned home from work on 3/31/2015 to my television and internet not working again. I called in and was told I was required to pay another $30.00 charge, and could not be told why. I could even expect to pay the superfluous "reactivation fee" that I was told I would have to pay on my next bill, but to have to pay two days in a row?
Comcast operates under the same tactics as a classic monopoly, and answers to no one. The hoops they require an everyday consumer to pay just for the privilege of watching television is absurd, and I am still paying for their nonsensical package that includes a home phone, despite the fact that one under the age of 94 still uses a land-line.

I was going to cancel my Comcast bundled services, but Customer Service gave me a better deal -- they would upgrade my Xfinity Triple Play for a much better package, faster internet etc for Less money. They said my rate would not change for 2 years. Surprise, surprise -- when the first bill came, they charged me for an "inactive modem" for $7.00. The bill arrived more than 30 days after installation, so I could not CANCEL the contract. I called Comcast right away, and they told me I had to return the old modem. What modem? The installer took every old piece of Comcast equipment away with him when he left. I did not get any receipt, nor did he offer one to me.
Next bill comes, and now they are charging me another $10.00 for their outdated piece of junk that they say I have. I called again, "they are investigating the Ticket #," and it can take a while. Meanwhile, I will keep getting charged these monthly fees. I will call them weekly to follow up -- I am retired and living on a fixed income, and have plenty of time on my hands to get this straightened out. It's a shame the way they treat their long term customers, and I guess I am not the only one.

Consolidated my business utilities for convenience and less money (so I thought). Signed contract on 10-3-14. No service from them until 12-18-14. Rep said had a lot of problems with other customers. When reps came to switch service they were asking me where certain wires were and things that I didn't even know what they were talking about. This lasted for about a week of them sporadically coming and going. Then the nightmares really started. My credit card machine started to be very slow or not work at all. I called Comcast. Reps did not show up were scheduled, and then blamed my CC company and the CC card company blamed Comcast. This went on for months.
Then the CC would not batch out at night so my sales were not credited. I spent so much time on the phone with Comcast one day I just broke down and cried to the woman on the other end of the phone. Ten days ago I lost all internet/WiFi connection. Called Comcast Thursday, March 19th, was told Rep would be there tomorrow, Friday 20 March. They called that day to confirm... no one showed up or called. Called them again and a rep finally showed up today, March 26th and "fixed" the problem, which was caused by "a lot of problems" with the "boxes"!?!?
Finally got a rep on 3-30 to "fix" the problems. I plan to go back to Centurylink as soon as possible. My contract says nothing about early termination fees, and even so I will tell them to take me to court. I doubt any court would award them anything with such abominable and shoddy business practices. The FCC should be made aware of all these complaints and either fine them or shut these shysters down!

Comcast sent an employee out knocking door to door in our neighborhood shortly after we moved in. We were in the process of transferring our ATT service over from our previous address and after convincing us he could reduce our monthly cable bill by as much as 75%, we agreed to give them a 12 month trial. 12 months of pure hell is what was in store for us!! Weekly service interruptions, internet speed 10 times slower than advertised and bills that seem to increase monthly without any notification from these scumbags.
After multiple complaints and phone calls and multiple attempts of having technicians out at our house to research repair issues with no real solution, a Comcast representative informed us over the phone that it was in our best interest to just increase our current service to get a faster internet. Knowing I was locked into a contact for another 6 months, I agreed that if I am stuck with these crooks for another 6 months, I'll pay a little more each month and gain the benefit of faster internet. Well, lo and behold, what I did not realize, was that by agreeing verbally over the phone to have our internet service boosted up to the fastest level, I was unknowingly committing to another 24 month contract. After never receiving any documentation or notification of this new contract, the 6 additional months of a joke of a cable service had finally came to an end.
When we finally called to cancel, knowing our original 12 months of hell was over, it was brought to our attention that we have a remaining 18 months on our contact of being stuck with this garbage cable company full of low life's and liars. I immediately argued and asked for a copy of this so-called contact that we signed and was told that conveniently for them it is company policy they cannot send it to me. Not via mail and not via email. When I told them I didn't care and I still wanted to cancel they told me that to do so I am liable for a $250 early termination fee and if I did not pay it, that additional fees would apply and they would send to collections and damage my credit.
Can we be held responsible for a contract we did NOT sign? A contact that as far as we understand, does NOT exist. A contract that the seller is refusing to publish or make available to the buyer. This is a scam! It's a pathetic scam and a shame. Even if we are under contract, is Comcast not in breach of this contract for failing to provide its clients with a proper duty of care? I'm sure the contract should read that the client agrees to pay for x, y and z service from the seller only if x, y and z are actually being provided to properly to the buyer right? The real crime is that x, y and z SUCK and Comcast SUCKS!!
True Story: I once called Comcast to report an internet outage, they told me they needed to verify my account and needed either my account number or the exact dollar amount of my last payment. I responded no problem, then paused and stated that I could not provide either of those to them because Comcast setup us up with paperless billing and that in order to retrieve that information I would need access to my email which would require a working internet service. Comcast response: "Well you will have to call your bank, find out the dollar amount of the last payment and call us back." Are you kidding me??? This is how you do business???
Another mind blower: Did you know that if you call Comcast to report a service interruption they will have a someone over the phone attempt to walk you through a step by step process of resetting the equipment installed in your home by Comcast. If after 2 hours of this fails and the end result is that Comcast has to send a technician out to your home to fix the issue (like actual "work"), they bill you a service charge for their faulty equipment. But wait, you can avoid this service charge if you agree to pay them a monthly service charge protection fee.
Hang on, so... you mean to tell me, that if I as the consumer who is simply renting your crappy equipment experiences a problem with your crappy equipment, you will invoice me to for your technician to come fix your own crappy equipment? And if I want to avoid that fee, I have to pay you basically an insurance premium for your crappy equipment? How the ** is that even legal? The fact that these crooks get away with this, is an absolute travesty. Can anybody please help?

I totally understand outages happen, we had a small rainstorm last night (nothing big from what Florida can bring on), but we are now 18 hours and counting without internet and without an eta. Some of us have businesses to run or other obligations that rely on internet and being left without it for a full day, drastically impacts that especially in season. 18 hours seems excessive for any large scale company to solve a problem.

Called Comcast to check out a cheaper bundle package deal. I have been a Comcast customer for over 25 years and was told that I am paying the cheapest basic price. I have no premium channels, only have 2 HD TVs. My bill is over $200.00 monthly. I work with a client who has a Triple play package with all premium channels, security etc. (The Works). After paying a huge monthly bill she cancelled with Comcast and went to U-Verse. Comcast called her and said "We value you and want you back. We can give you this wonderful Triple play pkg. deal for $150.00 a month."
After telling customer service I want the same plan they hung up on me, told me NO ONE pays under $200.00 (I have a copy of her bill to prove it). The rep then said, "Well it was a promotion we were offering no longer available" I told them they were not telling the truth etc. The Rep. said, "I can offer you a basic package because you are not a new customer and the best I can do is give you Starz," which lowered my bill not by much $24. a month. Old Loyal customers are not valued and it doesn't pay to stay with a company like Comcast. They have made it very clear they DO NOT VALUE LOYAL Paying customer. It took 2 days and 5 phone calls to get a reduction in my bill and I still am NOT satisfied. So cancel Comcast get a new carrier and have them beg you back!!!! That is what I learned.

We switch from Verizon to Comcast on Mother's Day last year. Comcast contacted us to see if we were interested in changing providers. We agreed on a monthly price and equipment. Four months later, our bill was increased due to audit and they increased our monthly fee. They claimed we obtain an additional pc. of equipment unbeknownst to them and shut the device off from their end. When I inquired they turned it back on and then the billing nightmare began. Every month I call and try to speak to a floor manager. When I finally was able to speak with **, he provide me with a ref # and assured me a return call within a week. In addition, he also stated that he understood my problem and that the Comcast should honor my contract.
Next month, no changes to my account & the bill began to grow. I have asked several time for them to pull my original phone recorded statements to listen to the statement of their representative telling us for a certain amount each month and for the equipment they installed, our monthly fee will not be increased for 1 year unless we order a movie in addition to package. We understood and agreed. Now I am being told they need to charge for the additional pc. of equipment and they had a rate change.
I have dates and times in which our conversations occurred. But I am told, they cannot go back to listen due to volume of calls they receive (I am sorry to hear that, but every conversation starts off with a recorded message stated "this call is recorded for training purposes"). Every month I called I tried to give the CSR the ref #, but it appears they have no meaning. Hopefully they can resolve this issue and honor what they originally promise. I feel this is a simple request. Thanks for listening!

In a three week time frame unsuccessfully dealing with Comcast for my house (A) & (ironically) my boss's apt (B). "A" is new client & "B" existing client. A & B 3 visits each to date - no resolution. 6 techs give scripted reasons i.e. - the AV techs say "there is a problem with wires being old - you need the old wire dept". Old wire department comes - "they didn't tell me B is a building - have to send a subcontractor." "I can only do private house wires." Reading the 6 different order sheets I notice info is always wrong- "phone agent" problem.
Down 25 hours of time & $240 in tips (6 techs so far). I can't punish all techs for following orders they have been given by "phone agent". Comcast hired "White Fence" (customer solutions) to call me after follow-up survey re: B. Their Supervisor is going to listen to all of the recorded (by Comcast) phone calls with "phone agents" to identify problem (prompts me to reschedule B).
Next day WF calls & says I should reschedule B. That was the timely solution to an "equipment agent" not showing up? Does WF fee get passed on to customers? "White Fence" listening to past conversations did not instill confidence. Currently waiting again for Comcast (A & B) and for our TV repair man - Comcast "special services" agent mistakenly disengaged Crestron disabling channel changing & on/off functions. Only hope this post helps those as frustrated as I. What can we do? hashtag Comcast? After 3 Comcast visits and no result our TV repairman says he rebooted box and now our Comcast services are restored in B. Incredible!!

The quality of the internet service provided by this company was very poor, with frequent long periods of outages. I called to complain and they said they would send out a technician. The technician said there was nothing wrong with the equipment, even though he made a lot of adjustments to the modem and router, and further adjustments to a box located OUTSIDE the residence. He suggested that the best way to get the "Wireless" equipment to work would be to hard-wire it. REALLY. That's what he said. I'm not kidding. I was further shocked to get a seventy dollar charge for this so-called "service." When I called to complain about the charge, I was told that the charge was "Legitimate" and that Comcast would not remove it.
What they will be removing is all of their substandard equipment as I am looking for a more dependable and customer friendly company to do business with. Comcast has ZERO skill in customer service. It is the worst I have ever encountered and I only rated it one star because I was not allowed to give it a zero. Stay away from this joke of a company at all costs!

About 2 years ago, I had service from Comcast. Out of 5 scheduled service appointments (guaranteed to be on time or $20 credit!) they gave me the credit 5 times. My favorite one was when I called to find out why they no-showed me I was told that they had shown, I didn't answer their call to confirm when they were on the way. I asked what number had they called? I had my cell with me all the time while I waited. She read the number and it was my Comcast internet phone number, so I asked her to read me the reason for service call and thought her voice amusing as she read "internet phone not working."
Fast forward year later, (last year) and I sign up for service again. Told them I wanted same service as before - basic cable and internet (had downgraded to this last time due to poor service). Was told 89.99 was best they could do. Thought price must have gone up, not abnormal for poorly run, horrible cable companies. I go pick up equipment, pay initial deposit and return home. Set up equipment. Internet works, no TV, screen says "channel not authorized." After spending 2 hours being handed around and no TV still, they schedule service call and tell me I am lucky they have an appointment in 5 days available! Service tech shows early (awesome), looks at my screen and says "filter on your line from previous tenant" (I had moved since previous service). He goes downstairs and in seconds TV comes alive. He comes back, leaves receipt saying no charge for visit and bounces.
I go to check my first bill and it is 331.00!!!! My plan, with taxes, was 127.00, they charged me 70 bucks for service call and another month. I finally, after 2 weeks, got them to remove service call fee, paid for one month and then asked them to give me basic package as I did not order it (I was 3 days over the 30 day guarantee). So they told me I would have to make bill current before they could change plan (wtf?) that they had erroneously given me. I had paid for first month because I had the service, but didn't pay second because I hadn't used it yet! They also had not changed the start of service date to my actual one as I had no TV for first week, that's why I had passed the 30 day mark. I explained I was on fixed income and second payment would not be possible for 30 days. They basically said "Oh well."
Made next payment, called again, was told bill could be lowered to $54..... as soon as I caught it up. Tried managers, online chat, and I have never talked to such rude, mean people in my life..... that were supposed to be customer service agents!!! I thought I was in the twilight zone. So, I cancel service and return equipment. Told there was wait time for receipt. So, 2 weeks later, I get bill for 320 bucks for the equipment.... took me another 2 weeks to get that straightened out. I HATE COMCAST. I MEAN THAT. I REALLY HATE THIS COMPANY.

I have been a faithful and paying customer of Comcast for 20 years. Recently I needed help lowering my bill as I was in school full time and a budget. Call 1 to customer service. New package deal offered, land line I never used and only had because of a bundle was removed to save money. Services like HBO, Starz, Streampix removed. Quoted $95.00 per month. Bill arrives, I'm still paying for all of these services I'm not receiving, bill higher by 20.00, than original bill I was trying to lower.
Call 2. No record of call 1 existed in the system but they confirmed services were definitely disconnected. Offered a new package, stating a land line is mandatory and this was reconnected. New price 109 with contract. Still bare bones package I was supposed to receive before. When bill arrives, it is 10.00 higher than that last month.
Call 3. No record of call 1 or 2 existed. But they confirmed I was paying for services I was not receiving. I was offered a package for 135.00 and a free X1 operating system upgrade. No charge. I had no reason to believe this was a real offer either. I was told I should pay my entire old bill and this new package would be retroactive a month because I'm paying for channels and services I'm not receiving.
Self installation kit arrived: including a X1 box for extra rooms, to be used with the main X1 box. What main box? I tried it anyway. It connected to my network, said it was finding channels, and that the box had been deactivated. Back in the box it went, back to Comcast. Next bill: over 200.00. No retro credit, no new package deal. Just paying a huge price for "services". They got smart and stopped itemizing my bill.
I made the 4th phone call crying to the customer service rep, telling her I'm broke, we have been doing this all year. I just need basic Internet and basic basic TV, local channels. I have 100.00 budget. She said they had nothing in my price range and suggested I disconnect their services. So that's it. They don't care about the longest, loyal customers.

We disconnected our cable with Comcast because of the lousy packages they provide. In Canada the subscribers can pick the stations they wish to view but not here in the U.S. Because of this, we have intentionally been using "rabbit" ears just because we were so discouraged with our service and disconnected it. The stations we were receiving were so much "infomercials" and, not to mention, too many commercials, period.
Still, my husband became tired of getting up and continually changing the "ears." He relented and decided to try the corporate t.v. again, much to my chagrin. As before, when he went to get a box for cable, it didn't work. He called customer service. Apparently, the poor guy in India he was connected to, didn't understand what he needed. So, the next day, my husband drove another 15 miles to get a new box. Surprise! That one didn't work either. In the meantime, our land line was cut off because we were informed that once the cable was re-installed, our phone would be cut off because of the package we chose. So now we haven't any cable AND NO PHONE.

From day one I've always encountered problems with Comcast. First of all, none of my bills are ever the same month to month. Each month the bill seems to creep a little higher (AND NOT ONE EMPLOYEE CAN TELL ME WHY). Second the employees of Comcast are evidently not knowledgeable of the policies and protocols because each and every time I get a totally different explanation as to why my bill rises. Thirdly, the lines when paying the bill is unbelievable. A recent experience being I was told by one employee in the office that I had until the 28th to make a payment and holy cow I get home on the 15th and service was terminated. I never received any type of notice of any kind, just simply put, service was suspended. I really hate this place and will definitely seek other alternatives in my area.
Another thing is the wait times for any type of customer service via phone is unreal. I held on approximately 45 min only to be hung up on. This place charges so much and the service is HORRIBLE. Another example, I went into the office to pay bill and was asked by employee about the xfinity home security system. The employee went over all details, gave me the total of what my bill would be each month and guess what. I get a call from the installation guy a couple of days before the system was to be installed. He says that he is calling to go over what my bill will be each month. Well guess what, he quoted me a $200 bill higher than what was explained to me in the office. Totally disgusted!!! I politely just cancelled the entire service call. PLEASE OTHER CABLE PROVIDERS HURRY TO AN AREA NEAR ME. TOTALLY DISGUSTED WITH COMCAST. THIS HAS WENT ON LONG ENOUGH. CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE. ASAP.

I asked why the new members got an even better deal than I had originally, $10 less per month. She had no answer for me. When I asked if they could keep my rate closer to what I had originally, she said no, they couldn't. When I asked what they could do if I dropped tv, and just had internet they didn't even go through any offers, just quoted me 5$ less than what I will be paying. I asked her why they would rather get new customers than retain old ones, she stated they could not give any discount. I'm very upset with this company, and can't recommend them to anyone because they raise their rates without actually telling you OR offering you a different package.

Today we received the bill (even though the website states it's for uses between March 17th thru April, so that doesn't make sense?) and they charged us for a new modem. No, we did not get a new modem, so we called and demanded why we got charged 300% of our normal bill for something that never happened. Long story short, it was a communication error on their end, and we DID NOT get our refund because the person who came out here wrote down that the problem with the internet was OUR fault because we had the wrong router. No, we don't have the wrong router. When we moved in we bought a router specifically for Comcast because they have a list on the website of which ones will work. So they lied?
Comcast is 0% customer service and 80% trying to swindle money and scam you. The other 20% is non-American heavily accented Indian people who you can't even understand won't let you talk. So obviously we are completely done here. Either way, all of us are never going with Comcast again. We called CenturyLink and they are coming out first thing Monday. Thanks for absolutely living up to your name as the worst company in America. I have a dated journal of the three strikes your out screw ups Comcast did, and this is a summarized 3rd.

My X1 box stopped working so I take it to the Comcast Office to exchange. Waited 1 hour for assistance. I got the box home and it would not activate. Was on phone with Comcast for an hour and they could not fix. Scheduled for a Tech to come on Sun 7 March. NEVER showed. I called to find out they reschedule without telling for the next Sat, 14 Mar. Had a guaranteed appt btw 9:30-11:30. They called to confirm Fri & Sat. 1130 arrived and NO tech. I called and my appt moved to 1:00-5:00. They said Tech called me to say he was late. That was a lie.

My family and I had signed a 2 yr contract. Two months after contract expired, bill stayed the same. March service cancelled due to non payment of the new amount. Payment went from 170 to 240 back in Dec. Never told of the change. I paid Feb bill. But they said the $240 was past due from back in Dec. I was told they did not have to tell of the change in price after the two year contract was up. I asked since they have no signed contract how can I be liable? Their response was. "Maybe we should notify customers but we don't." So I'm stuck paying it. I will never have Comcast again and I try to warn others as well.

Comcast is a rip off. I just had it out with them for the last time. Returned my boxes yesterday and now have the lowest cable/internet package for existing customers (which is horrible for the price I pay). They were charging me an HD fee 9.95 on top of the box rentals (ridiculous). I have been in touch with the both satellite companies in my area and will be switching in 2 weeks. Even after the promotion package the satellite companies are still 43% cheaper than comcast... No hd fee ever!! No extra box fee ever!!! Three times as many channels as comcast and this is the lowest package... And yes this is all in writing, so it is legit/I do my homework.
I have now by forewarned families by word of mouth in my neighborhood and hope to have a Comcast free community by the end of the summer. This is sad because I was a loyal customer for 14 years and the first few years were great. It is sad that comcast has to have such high increases and others do not. When I seen I was getting charged an HD fee on top of a box rental, that was the last straw. Sorry comcast onto cheaper and better TV. Oh everyone check your maintenance fee that went up too.

She couldn't get me under $60.00 per month and said the best she could do was $70.00 per month which I agreed to. This gives me basic tv channels plus internet. As I got on my Comcast account via the internet I realized that I was just locked into a 2-yr agreement and did not even know it. This lady never said anything about a 2-yr agreement with this change and I never signed any paperwork for it. I have been with Comcast without a contract for at least 4 years now. Is this legal?

I contacted Comcast to set up cable and internet at our new apartment. I spoke with a representative and agreed to a deal where we would get cable, internet, and a DVR for around 100/month. Pretty good. A technician came 4 days later and hooked everything up. The internet worked fine but the cable box was buggy. The next day, I unplugged it and rebooted it which worked for a day and then nothing. On the next evening, I called back and after about 30 min on the phone, the rep said that a technician needed to come and fix it. This was on a Friday and a tech wasn't available until Monday.
Monday: tech comes and says a cable was loose and that the box should be fine (I was suspicious, but I let it go). The box was fine... for an hour. When I got home from work, the box is completely frozen and won't change channels or anything. Also, that Monday, I received a bill for $260! I call Comcast, and tech support tries to tell me that I'm using the remote incorrectly. I'm not, I know how to work the remote, I promise you. So needless to say, I'm getting upset. So I tell them that I no longer want their cable service and just want the internet that was advertised at $40/month. They tell me that offer is available to new customers only, and since I am an existing customer, I would have to pay $80/month for the service. Seriously!? That was it, I cancel everything.
Unfortunately, there are no real alternatives in my area. Comcast needs more competition. They have so much control that they can easily get away with hidden charges and fees and extremely poor customer service because only they can provide broadband service to a public increasingly reliant on such a service. It's time that we demand an alternative to this corrupted company.

Having been a Comcast customer for over 15 years, they finally went over the top. After changing my service provider to Verizon in October, Comcast is now suing us for over $600 for past due fees. On October 4 we contacted Comcast customer service to advise them we are terminating our service and going to Verizon. We then drove the Comcast CS center, returned and cataloged all of our equipment, advising them we discontinued our service. We kept receipts and names of people we dealt with along the way. On or about December 1, we received a bill for over $400 advising us we are past due, and need to pay our bill otherwise services will be discontinued (they already have all equipment as of October 4). We contacted Customer Service via phone and advised them of the above, and they told us "Ok, we never got the termination notice" that they will remove our services immediately.
Guess what happened in January 2015..... another bill for now over $500 advising us of the same, they will discontinue service unless we pay the past due amount. Another call, another "I am so sorry," and another false promise to take care of the situation. Now it is February and guess what.... you got it another bill for now over $600 and the story goes on. So we now sent a letter explaining everything to Comcast as stated above, and thought the nightmare was finally over. Finally in early March we received an "official Notice" from a Collection Agency, advising to pay or....! We recently sent a letter with all of the backup bills, checks, and letter that we originally sent to Comcast. Can't wait to see what happens next.... Stay Tuned!

I originally had made a call to possible get a credit on my account because my internet was acting very slow in the mornings around 1 or 2 a.m. That issue was resolved with no problems so far. I was also interested in upgrading my services. That is where the issue began. I was told by the first representative that my final bill after the upgrade would be roughly $105 dollars INCLUDING taxes with a 2-year contract. I agreed to this. I was then offered an upgraded receiver box, which I accepted on the clearly stated grounds that it would be at no charge with no additional fees whatsoever. I was also told I would receive my new services immediately before the box arrived. Everything sounded good. I waited for my services. Nothing. I called back and talked to another rep who told me that I had to wait until the box arrived for me to receive my new services. Very inconvenient at this point.
I finally receive the new box in the mail. I install it correctly. It will not activate correctly. I call and talk to a 3rd rep. The rep could not fix it. She started to get very rude with me. I demanded to speak with a manager and she denied me. I asked repeatedly, and she denied letting me speak directly to a manager. She attempted to fix my service by adding HD service (which I did not authorize her to do). This did not fix the problem. I told her I didn't want to be charged for any type of HD services. This was never mentioned by the first rep that there was any type of HD charge with the upgrade. She said they were going to see what they could do to compensate me for the problems. They eventually end up scheduling a technician to come to my house with the charge waived. I agree. The tech arrived the next day. The box was faulty, as I had suggested to the rude 3rd rep I spoke with for nearly an hour.
Tech swapped out the box, service was fine. I call back to have another rep (4th) tell me that I am being charged for the HD which I did not authorize. I figured that I would deal with it at my local Comcast office so I could deal with a person face to face. At this point, I am ready to cancel my services. I make a complaint on Twitter about Comcast. A verified corporate profile @** offered me assistance and never followed up. I made another complaint via Twitter and @comcastcares directly messaged me. I talked to 3 different reps through direct message with this account and they told me HD was included in my package. I was never told this. I was told my bill would be roughly $105, not $117.
They offer to compensate me 1 year of HD for free. How can you compensate me something that was secretly included in my package and they admitted was included? They said my bill would be $99 before taxes, with taxes making it roughly $105. They were deceptive and weren't actually changing anything from the original price that I agreed on with the first rep. The Twitter conversation slowly took place over the course of the last 4 days, very, very slowly. My issue is currently still unresolved.

Comcast, your service really makes you the ABSOLUTE worst company ever! I can't understand how you continue to succeed in business by providing the worst of the worst customer service I have ever seen. No one can help solve a situation, you need at least 10 phone calls with multiple hand-offs where you need to repeat your story again and again and again... well you get it. I am sure you have all experienced it.
You are willing to take our payment, did not apply it to the correct account, kept an old account opened when they were supposed to close it and now service is not working. Comcast, or Xfinity - whatever you changed your name to in hopes of having a better reputation, instead of a name change you need to have a business consultant come in or take a few customer service classes or let customers speak to managers who can make a decision or help fix a problem.
Billing transfers to support, support transfers to billing, get it together! Instead of the associate not being empowered enough to determine what needs to be done on the phone calls, they all seem to abruptly disconnect. Why not just get a manager, someone from billing and someone from support on the line to hash out the issue, determine a resolution and then take action. This would cost you, the company, less time and money, the customer less frustration and your reputation might actually improve.
Other businesses would not be as fortunate (if that is what you want to call it) to still be making a profit. The numbers we have been told to call (not transferred to) include: 866-200-6733, 800-325-7264, 877-896-8678, 877-842-6622, 866-203-8766. We have made multiple call backs (mostly due to disconnections). At what point can customers bill you for their labor in trying to get your assistance on a service you provide? That would be a fair, after all, you charge rates for connections and support depending on what it is.

On 2/24/2015 I made a payment to Comcast for a bill due in the amount of 280.00$. I thought that was very high for a cable bill when I barely watch t.v. so I decided to contact them and see if I could reduce my bill. I was planning to downgrade but the rep says that they had a special going on for Colorado residents and it should also reduce my bill. I agreed and set an install date on the 2nd of march. When the Tech came out he installed some of the equipment, but two of the boxes he had were lost in the system and he could not activate them. After he left I tried to connect my video game system back and realized that he left with my HDMI cable. I called Comcast back to get the last two boxes and they told me I could pick them up from a Comcast center or mail them to me for an extra charge of 17.00$.
Well I'm trying to reduce my bill so I decided to pick them up but while speaking to the rep I was told that my signal was very low and they would send another tech out the next day. The rep told me because the tech is coming out he would bring me the 2 boxes I needed to finish the install. Day 2 3/3/2015, 2 techs showed up to troubleshoot my internet connection. For 2 hours they tracked mud and snow in the house and one of them kept entering other places in the home were 1 there was no cable and 2 I had personal things out where I was not comfortable with them being around. They claim they fixed the problem, but once again they did not have all the boxes.
I call Comcast again to get the last box and it just gets worst. The first thing is that I was not on my account to order extra boxes, so now I'm going through hoops to get this straight to get my last box. This time I was told that my signal was still weak and she noted to have the tech install a booster to help my signal and send a box. So today I had an appointment from 1-3. Never seen the tech that claimed to come out to the home...only seeing foot prints half-way up the driveway in the snow. No info was even placed on the door to show they came but got a call from them on the phone I used to call them which was not even on the account to contact me. I don't even know how they got this number. I end up calling them again to see what was happening.
I get a rep and first they tell me that the tech was at my home and he was not able to leave me a box because it was not his job. Second the rep claims I had cable boxes connected that the techs never deactivated when installing the new boxes. I told her to look at my package and to make sure all devices match what was on my package because they were charging me more for boxes I didn't even have. She showed signs of confusion so I asked her to let me speak to a supervisor and she said that I could not and one would call me back in 20 minutes. I asked her to transfer me to anybody because of the...of issues she was causing and no help. She would not. So I just hung up called right back.
This rep was ok. She went through my account and fixed all the errors she found but seen that my bill was all jacked so she sent me to billing. I'm with billing...know this guy is just reading and repeating the notes from the last reps and still could not fix the problem. I asked him to send me to a supervisor and he did. WOW! The first rep I talked to said she could not transfer me to one. Why I get lucky this time? The supervisor handled it well and corrected the rest of my problems and set me up hopefully for my last appointment on 3/5/2015. Overall I would choose not to use them, but they are the only ones that offer DSL. But I will use them till this contract ends and replace them with a DISH and use my cellphone as a hot spot.

02/28 - 0915. Called Comcast customer service to attempt to find out where the tech went. Placed on hold numerous times, then rep could not find the csr or appointment. Hung up on me.
02/28 - 0942. Called Comcast customer service, to attempt to find out where the tech went. Placed on hold numerous times, then rep could not find the csr or appointment, or the account. Smarter now, so I provided csr ** and account number. Then rep found the appt, but said we cancelled it. No, because we confirmed it on Thursday morning via automated call to **. Then rep wants me to schedule another appt. No. Asked to speak with supervisor. Got placed on hold again, then disconnected.
02/28 - 1002. Called Comcast customer service again to attempt to find out where the tech went. Placed on hold numerous times, then provided csr ** and account number to rep. Another rep found the appt, and was going to patch us into the local dispatcher. Hurray! Someone who knows how to find something. Oh, but wait.... during "patch in" hold, click, and then nothing but dead air. Dropped from their call again at 1015. I gave up after three calls and an hour.
02/28 - 1130. Contacted chat customer service and explained the situation, repeated calls, hang ups, disconnects and still no tech. Rep wanted to schedule another appointment. I told this person to come and get their equipment and to cancel service. Rep disconnected from chat. I still have no cable reception that is acceptable for the cost they are charging. ** said that after the tech visited they would "evaluate the account and refund partial." Sure they will.

My Comcast "nightmare" began January 16, 2015, when I signed up for new service. **, salesman with Comcast at 5720 Asheville Hwy, Knoxville, TN 37924, explained a two-year plan but later I discovered he signed me up on a six-month plan? He quoted me a price of $125.64 a month. I have called him six times and left message on his CELL PHONE (his office does not take INCOMING phone calls?). It took three scheduled service calls to finally get an installer out. I spoke with ** in Stone Mountain, Georgia three times when they tried to change the third date to a FOURTH date. I demanded they keep the third date.
The first installer who arrived was in a big hurry. (He was very inexperience. He was more concerned with a "pigeon" he had in a box in his truck). He moved two of three phones to the opposite side of the room, one on a very short cord, which I spent almost an hour re-wiring the next day. The third phone was in my kitchen, he said he COULD NOT connect it, although it had worked OK for years. He also installed the WRONG cord on one of my TV's, which created a "snowy" picture for the next three days until the second installer came out.
Three days later the second installer arrived. He spent less than one hour correcting 9 of 10 problem left by the first installer. He re-wired the two phones and wired the third phone in minutes and said the first installer just didn't want to take the time? He also replaced the wrong cable on the TV which corrected the "snow" problem. During that day, THREE Comcast trucks showed up, each about 2 hours apart. THEN THE BILLING PROBLEM BEGAN. I received an email stating the monthly bill was estimated to be $148.00 a month, then an email showing a previous balance of $235.38? Then an email showing a new balance of $351.34, including the old previous balance.
I phoned and after spending several minutes on their AUTOMATED phone system, I spoke to ** (in INDIANA). She was the first person who seemed to know what she was doing. She explained the salesman had written up the wrong plan, which should not have charged an installation charge. She corrected the plan to a 24-month plan and removed the installation charge. She said my monthly bill would be $128.97 TOTAL including all taxes and charges. NOW I get a new email which shows the installation charges removed, BUT a new balance of $291.39 (not the 128.97 as promised). On 2/27/15 I began trying to call ** (YOU CANNOT TALK TO THE SAME PERSON TWICE). I phoned from noon to 6 PM, TWENTY ONE times with NO CONTACT. Each time, I went through their automated system (and had to listen to their COMMERCIALS); was told to stay on the line for a representative.
After holding, on a dial tone would come on, EVERY TIME. IT is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to a REAL person without going through their AUTOMATED system. The Comcast office the salesman is out of, DOES NOT TAKE INCOMING phone calls. I have been calling FIVE different 800 numbers, with NO success.Monday, March 2, I began calling at 10 AM. After talking to several people and leaving my phone #, I get a call from ** from the corporate office, who REFUSED to help, but would only QUOTE policy of a DOUBLE BILLING THE FIRST MONTH. I was never told of this, going back to Jan. 16. ** was a VERY ARROGANT person. She promised someone else would call me back---but, of course, no one has called!
This service has been totally MISREPRESENTED. I spent yesterday filing a complaint with the FCC and the Better Business Bureau (I had seen on the internet, the only way to get results from Comcast is to file a report with the FCC). My balance should be $128.97 TOTAL for the first month and each month for 24 months, NOT two months the first month. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 7 WEEKS.

I have dealt with plenty of Comcast's/Xfinity customer service and technicians over the years. Yes, there were plenty of times where the reps were rude, not knowledgeable and I don't even want to mention getting stuck in the IVR maze and transfers. This is my first public review and complaint about them until today. Today their negligence and complete disregard for their customers pushed me over the edge. We manage IT services for many companies and municipalities and utilize Comcast for transport and service where needed. We deal with Comcast customer service on almost a daily basis.
It all started this morning when I received a message from one of our customers that the internet is down. I thought well nothing unusual since outages are a common problem for the area where the customer has service. I called Comcast Business Class Customer service at 800-391-300 (forgot to mention this is business class service) to see if there were any outages. Before I was able to speak with a rep, I received a text from my customer informing me the service came back on. IVR did not report any outages in the area either during my call. The outage in the morning lasted a whole 4 minutes, not long but for a business that does online sales, very annoying.
When 12:10 CT came around, I received another text from my customer reporting again the service is out. So as before I picked up the phone and dialed the CSR number, but this time when the rep answered, I was informed my account was disconnected. I was in shock, asking how is this possible, the rep informed me that it was a voluntary disconcertion. Raising my voice out of anger, I demanded an explanation and was told this morning I requested the service to be disconnected. On top of it all, she stated there is a note that I called in January of 2015 inquiring if there is a contract on the account. I'm the only one that is authorized to make changes to the account and never did I even call to inquire about the contract term. The service at this location was active for over two years.
When I explained this is a mistake and demanded the service be restored, I was told this is not possible and I will need to setup another account and was told to hold while being transferred to a sales rep. This is where I had enough, I simply hung up the phone and said I'm done with Comcast for LIFE! Never in my life will I ever get their service, service from any of their subsidiaries, and I will be cancelling all the other services currently with them from all my other customers.I have stories collected over the years about Comcast, billing mistakes, modems being accidentally removed and deactivated, unauthorized charges, etc. If I had to count all the hours wasted dealing with them, it would add up to months and not to mention all the stress and aggravation dealing with this company.
Thank you for taking the time in reading my story. The service location for this particular customer is in Bensenville IL, in the commercial park near York Rd and Foster.

We had our service transferred from one address to another. Comcast failed to bring the billing info over to the new account. We contacted them to discuss the fact that they were charging us $200 in "Non-Returned" equipment (which was used at the new house and installed by their technician (an additional $200 for the "installation" when everything was already set up from the previous tenants). They still did not set up the new account with the auto payments so they turned the service off. We decided to go with a different provider because of the incompetence and because after we moved, the internet was so slow at the new address that we couldn't stream anything because of "Buffering".
1 week AFTER they turn our service off, they hit my debit card $327+ (even though they "had no card on file" for the new address) which in turn overdrew my account. I called to speak to someone about this and was told by the lady that she had to transfer me to "Billing". I have now been on hold for the Billing department for over 30 minutes (no kidding, my phone says 31.10 and I still keep having to listen to the elevator music and hear their recording stating that my call is important to them and asking me to please continue to hold and a representative will be with me shortly).
This is just how important we consumers are to Xfinity/Comcast. They mess up not just once but twice (by not transferring all the details from one location to the new location and by not fixing it when we called about the "Unreturned Equipment" that they "installed" at our new place). Now for the third time I am trying to get things straightened out and I have now been on hold for 36 min and 31 sec. Horrid Customer Service, Horrid Experience!! It is now at 42:31 minutes and still on hold!!!!

We were with Comcast for 3 years. While they are a very efficient company to provide service, we just had a lots of outages. Our subdivision is 26 years old and I feel the cable is being compromised by its age to provide a good signal. We always had a good rate for our Triple Play Service, but reliability was main reason to go with another service. We also had a tremendous with the Scientific Atlanta Equipment. In 3 years we had at least 10 HDVR's to be exchanged.

I wish I could give it 0 star. The customer service is just non existent. Every time I call for any technical question, they start trying to sell me their crappy additional services that I don't need. My bill has been constantly creeping up with no explanation whatsoever. The customer service is rude and incompetent. The worst part I don't have that many choices. I had Time Warner when I lived on east coast. Their customer service couldn't even go in comparison with Comcast. This industry is totally monopolized.

Called today as my invoice doesn't reflect the promotion. Was told there were no notes on my account about the promotion & they couldn't honor $49.99. I was transferred to the retention dept. & again was disconnected. Still haven't received a call.

Had internet connectivity but host dropped while I was on the internet. Waited about 30 minutes before calling to report the problem. Finally got a CR who spoke very little English and was very hard to understand. Explained over and over what the problem was but he insisted try a whole crap load of things that would make him feel better. Obviously, nothing worked because he couldn't understand the problem. Eventually put a different CR on the phone. He also spoke very little English and was dumber than the first CR. Had to explain the problem over and over again. All he could provide was for a home service call so a tech could tell me what was wrong "with my equipment". Very rude. Agreed to a tech coming out, but the first available would be in 4 days. I requested that they send someone who was familiar and understood the English language.
About 20 minutes after the call with dumb and dumber, Comcast restored their host service. Then about a hour later I get a recorded msg from Comcast to call them regarding a scheduled service call. Called the number, only to get another person who had even more difficulties with the English language. Told him multiple times that I didn't need a service call because Comcast finally got their host issue resolved. He had extreme difficulty trying why I didn't need the service call. I feel that I would be better off talking to a parrot, who probably could have been more helpful. When will Comcast realize that customer service sucks when you send it off to these offshore sweatshops. Really getting fed up with their service and prices.

I recently received this new internet modem. I call Comcast and they said to just activate and nothing would change to my bill. Well, all the modem does is hijacking my browser to the Comcast activation page. I call Comcast tech support many time and nobody was able to resolve the issue. I give up and return the modem to Comcast. Next thing, my bill goes from $88 to $137. I call Comcast and they say they will adjust back to $88, well. Today I receive another TV remote which I have no idea why it was sent to me. I check my account online and it said my balance is $131.06 due in 6 days.
I call Comcast and talk to a guy by the name of Sunny. He said I will only need to pay $88 but when I ask about the new TV remote, he said if I don't return to them or don't activate, there will be fee charge to my monthly bill. They have no return label so he ask that I take it to a Comcast facility or pay the fee. This is their way of scam and forcing people pay them or do something that I don't want to. They can't just send their equipment to people and ask them to pay if they don't activate or send back them. I wish we have more competitions. This is really a monopoly power.

Trying to set up new service, and see what deals were available. First the number we were given went to a line trying to sell several services before patching through to Comcast. Once we called the correct number, the customer service agent (Sasha) was nearly rude, talking over me, and trying to sell me things I had no interest in. I told her so, and she backpedaled, quoting me $10 more for the service than their website offered. I told her I wanted to hang up and call back.
She rudely asked what my hesitation was at signing up now. I expressed my displeasure at how the call had gone. She attempted to get me to sign up still, a very hard sell. I hung up, and will never use Comcast service in the area again, as long as there is an alternative.

I have been trying to cancel my service since Jan 10, 2015. Returned equipment to a store in Naples FL on the 19th. Woman told me as there was a 45 minute wait for receipts to leave equipment, it will be scanned. They did not scan one of the pieces I returned (they show one piece of equipment not as returned). Therefore, they are still billing me 79 a month. Now I am waiting (again) to see if they can find it. Otherwise I'll need to pay 320 for a tiny piece of equipment or pay the 79 dollars a month I expect into perpetuity! Never return equipment to a store unless you plan to wait as long as needed for receipt. Don't listen if their employee tells you a receipt is not needed. This is not a responsible system.
I am frustrated and livid to be in this mess. There seems to be nobody to complain to. Every call seems to be cut off. Every person seems to send me to someone else. Don't use COMCAST and if you do, assume they are inept and you won't ever be able to leave them without coughing up $$$$. Infuriating. It feels like they steal.

My experience with Comcast has been horrible. They are deceitful and predatory. They lie and just want to find ways to trap their customers and take their money. My latest episode started when I went to take my ex wife's name off the account. I was told I had to open an entirely new account and start a new two year contract or pay a $1,100 early termination fee. I was already on the old account, I just wanted to take my ex wife's name off. I was also told I had to schedule an installation, which would cost me $100. What are they installing? I am keeping everything the same, just changing the name on the account. I scheduled the installation twice and they missed both appointments. Then they shut off my service, including my home phone without telling me.
I have kids who get home from school before I get home from work. We depend on them being able to use the phone. I complained and scheduled a new appointment and they agreed to waive the fee. But of course in the end they charged me, but bumped it up to $130. I can't wait for my contract to be up so that I never have to do business with them again.

I have had service with Comcast for nearly two years at this address and from day 1 they have failed to fulfill pre-arranged commitments, constantly failing services. It is always something, cable, Internet and phone. I pay my bill religiously and am never late for a payment. Finally yesterday when a scheduled technician failed to show for an appointment, I called and was moved between three separate people to file my complaint (all of which are out of this country and barely speak English) i was lied to and patronized and excuse, after losing my patience I spoke harshly and hung up. He continued to call me back, I answered and said that I refuse to have anymore of a conversation with him, he was to leave a message on my voicemail with a new time and date for appointment, I would be here.
Instead he continued to call but NO message, NO resolution. Instead he stopped outgoing services on my phone and all incoming calls were answered with immediate voicemail. I should add I suffer from sever seizures, I am victim of several strokes, and your overseas employee took it upon himself to suspend my phone service for at least an hour if not longer. In NO way did he or your company have a right to suspend my services. As I said I make my bill payments ALWAYS on time. So, I have decided to file an official complaint with the FCC and let this continue through their hands.

When I asked the Comcast technician to turn the "XFINITY" signal off from my property, his answer was "NO MATTER WHAT I DO THAT SIGNAL IS GOING TO HAVE TO STAY IN THE AIR" But I reminded him: But you are in my property and either you, your company, or whoever did the installation asked me to process it that way, with two strong signals surrounding all the way to my closets and fading away every signal it founds in it's way up to 300 ft according to the same Comcast Techs. I compare this a microwave running constantly, and their modem is HOT like an IRON!! I still want those signal away from my property.
When techs confirmed to me that those signals are going to be my living-mates "Don't matter what" this was the technician's respond when I asked to turn those paid hotspots away from my property. I believe they are just acting negligent and are refusing to solve this problem. I know, they don't admit their ridiculous mistake and monopoly plan. They are trying to make it effect. Please make Comcast to treat us with respect. They think they own our houses. They believe that everybody love them. They are selfish. The HotSpot the "Xfinity" is also a rip-off. I search a sign in page for those services and for $50 to $55 a month all they give you is a single random IP so you can connect ONE, just ONE SINGLE COMPUTER. That's right. The rest of the family will have to pay another $50 for each lousy connection at 4-6 mb for second. Verizon give us 12-24 mb on WIFI and is unlimited and mobile.

I said ok, the agent continued and told me that they can help lower my bill again by finding another Promotional Offer. He told me that they have a new promotion that will last for 1yr and cost me $117/mo. I said that's reasonable, but he told me that I would have to install a new modem, or I can buy the same and the lease on the modem would be taken off, so my new bill would be reduced $10 to $107/mo. I told him that my current modem is working just fine and I do not wish to lease another modem that I would not need. He put me on hold to ask the tech dept if I would need to install the new modem, the answer was no.
But in order for me to receive my new promotion I would still need to take delivery of the modem and pay the $117/mo, even though I'm not using it! Sure they lowered my bill but they're forcing me to lease a piece of equipment that I have no need for or want.

I recently had issues with our cable service at home. Contact 1 - I called the 800 number and was unable to resolve the technical issue remotely. The online tech support said to either call back to arrange a service call or take all the equipment to my local Comcast Center for replacement. Cable reception got even worse following. Contact 2 - I called for a service. At that time, I could not get through to arrange service - nothing but recorded messages. Contact 3 - I headed over to the local Comcast Center and arranged for a tech to come to the house.
Contact 4 - A tech shows up. He's awesome. He explains that every bit of Comcast equipment is faulty and proceeds to repair or service Comcast Equipment. The modem is not within acceptable range. The exterior box is not weather proof and needs to be replaced. The splitter in the attic is not up to bandwidth compliance and needs to be replaced (and is not even an approved Comcast product - which a previous tech installed).
Comcast bill arrives.... Comcast wants me to pay $70 for a "trouble call". At no time did any representative of Comcast tell me there was a fee for fixing their own equipment (which by the way - I lease from Comcast). 4 separate occasions and not one person explains or reveals the existence of the fee. Contact 5- I call call Comcast. Again - the wait time is prohibitive. Contact 6 - I get in my car and drive to my local Comcast Customer Service Center. I walk in. I was greeted by Customer Service Agent who asks - "how can I help you?” I explain - I am here to talk to someone about my bill. She hands me a number and tells me to wait until I am called. 20 minutes later - it's my turn. I walk up to the counter and explain what has been going on. The Agent continues to ask me questions about what has happened to date. Then he drops the bomb - "we don't handle billing here - you have to call head office about a credit".
Contact 7 - I call Comcast again. Finally after waiting for 10 minutes I get to speak to Leslie - my "Customer Service" Agent. I'm thrilled to finally get a human being. Leslie quickly reviews my account. Without skipping a beat - she explains the fee is legitimate. I ask her why I am being charged to service her equipment. She explains that perhaps it was Customer abuse and I must understand her side of the story. I was shocked and offended that after all of this (7 separate occasions) Comcast was telling me that I abused their equipment.
Tongue and cheek part - Clearly I adjusted the modem settings to render it dysfunctional. Clearly I installed a substandard exterior box. Clearly I installed a bad piece of equipment - the splitter in my attic. She refused to speak any further about the matter. So I asked for her supervisor. I had to hang up after being on hold for 45 minutes and no end in sight.
My question - as a Consumer without a viable option for replacing their product - what do I do? Where do I go? If I don't pay the bill - it goes to collections. How many Customers will be messed over by this monopoly? Clearly Comcast doesn't care about its customers. What kind of business can charge to lease their equipment and then turn around and summarily charge to repair it!

I have been a long time Comcast service user. I was buying a new house. I called in November to get a plan to transfer service since I was moving in December. Was told it was all worked out, all my equipment would transfer over, service would stop at the old house and start at the new house on Jan 2nd. Well of course non of that happened. When I tried to install the new boxes, none of them worked, the Internet did work. The service was still on at the old house as well, I was promised I would not charged, but of course I was.
When I called about the service at the new house I was told that I had to exchange my boxes. So I waited an hour at the Comcast office, finally arriving at the desk to be told that they should work fine and I didn't need to exchange them at all. I once again called Comcast, received a 20$ credit for my time wasted, then was told because of this they would send out a technician free of charge. I asked to get that in writing and they refused. So the cable guy came, quickly was able to install the device, but had an attitude when I asked him to make sure that all of the cable spots in the room were functioning as I didn't want to go through this process again. Nonetheless it was finally installed.
I was also told that I would receive a security system for free. When this guy came, late I should add, he said that he would have to redo the entire system that was currently there and in that process disconnect the smoke detectors or be charged an additional 200$ to install their smoke detectors. So now I know why they state its free, because they train their technicians to sell more products or make a home unsafe by disconnecting smoke detectors. So Comcast security was totally okay with leaving my home unprotected in the case of a fire. To me, that is extremely irresponsible and unethical as a company.
I asked this gentleman to leave my home immediately and cancelled that service. Well after paying my bills always on time and being a reliable consumer, I received a bill today with a 50$ charge for the installation of the cable, even though I was told I would not be charged. When I called, they said I did get the credit of 20$ because the installation was actually 70$, it's just not reflected on the bill. They refused to remove that charge and refused to credit my account the first 20$ that I was promised.
This is such poor service. They lie. They try to sell you things that will cost you extra although described as free or leave your home unsafe by dismantling the smoke detectors. I'm at a loss for words as to how disappointed I am with a company that charges so much and yet is unwilling to fully assist you in mistakes they should be taking responsibility for. I can't wait till there is a better option out there and I can ditch Comcast and their poor customer relations and evil marketing strategies.

Today is the 24th and I have just been told they won't be burying the cable that precedes installation until 3/2/15. I have not had Internet or tv for almost a month!!! Customer service is appalling! I have probably called company 20x's, been on hold for 8 plus hours, been disconnected, bounced all over the place, promised supervisors would call me (which they never did), technicians have showed up 2.5 hours past promised window, etc.

I went without internet from February 14th until February 24th. I called them on February 15th, February 20th and February 24th twice. They acknowledge that there was a an outage in my area all the way up until today, and now they won't acknowledge it at all. They won’t credit me for being without internet service for 10 days, they are saying that I never called them, they have no records of anything. However, I have records because I recorded all the conversations. When asked who I could let listen to such records they told me that they couldn't use my recordings, they can only use theirs. Very very very horrible customer service and business practice and skills

No one never told me that it is so easy getting into Comcast home security contract but hell getting out. The goal is to keep you and the contract as long they can so every little change you make to your account your home security contract starts over. Comcast it would be nice to let your customers make changes to their accounts. People's lives do change you know. I hate Comcast.

This is probably the worse company I have ever dealt with. I have been paying for a service that I don't fully have. They have taken money and want more based on false send backs to my bank account. Customer Service does not care what you want. Service is spotty and they don't honor anything. Unfortunately they hold the broadcast rights to the area sports, but even then I could probably save money and go spend at a local restaurant rather then these people. I do not recommend this company. It's a trap and the more time goes on, the worst it gets. I have tried numerous times to get through what I rightfully should have and what I have been paying for, but keeps getting worse. They have no problem leaving you on hold for hours - TERRIBLE.

Refuse to give you another $1 of my hard earned money. Not only are their services limited and unreliable. They are rude, will rip you off on your bill if you do not pay attention to it, and make promises for reimbursement in return is just another lie. Everyone has had some type of unfortunate encounter with a Comcast representative. I have never had so many issues with them like I've had since we started in Aug 2014. I entered a ticket for what the Comcast rep called a safety issue that would be handled within a 24 hr time period. The wind had knocked the wire from the outside of my house and it was lying across my yard, the street and neighbor’s yard.
I had to call 3 times to check the status of an appointment because they failed to tell me a time other than the 24 hrs. Each person I spoke to was offensively impolite with all disregard to my problem. After 25 hrs of waiting I received a call from a woman telling me that someone came out and fixed the problem said they had 2 other reps from Comcast try to contact me but I did not respond. (I told them all 3 times that I had NO service including phone). Once I told the woman no one has been to my house and everything was still the same way. I began to get frustrated bc her ignorance to the situation. She began to raise her voice to me stating she wasn't the one I originally spoke to and she don't know why the logs say that the problem was fixed.
The customer service from these people is by far the most unethical. They arrived 26 hrs after first ticket, they proceeded to tell me that it's not their wire it's Verizon's. So that just means when I paid for the installation they never installed the proper wiring for my service. Finally they fixed the problem but couldn't have the professionalism to knock on my door and tell me that everything should be working. They left with the wire still laying in my yard, the street, and neighbor’s yard along with a big metal connector with sharp ends on it in my driveway. I can not see how a big cooperation can be so inconsiderate with a loyal customer.
I need to call them monthly for at least something. They overcharged me in November over $200 and when I called about that they left me on hold for 45 mins then the person that did finally answer heard my issue and put me on hold AGAIN without telling me for another 30 mins. The next woman to get on the phone refused to get a supervisor because she was handling the situation and it wasn't needed. When I finally received the statement for the reimbursement it was broken down on 5 pages with -$0.10 credits. Who credits someone like that? It didn't even add up to what they owed me. Very conniving.

Comcast must be the most incompetent company I've ever dealt with!!! I never write these types of reviews, but I already wasted so much time with Comcast, that I may just as well waste more to let others know to stay away from them if they don't want to be frustrated by their incompetency and lack of customer service.
I had their cable/internet service at the previous address and moved. They scheduled a technician to hook up service. I had to stay home from work. He came but told me he was the wrong guy, because the house needed a rewire, but he'd put in a ticket. Nobody contacted me, so I called customer service a few days later. They said a technician is already scheduled for tomorrow. So I stayed home from work again. The technician came and, incredibly, told me the same thing: that he's the wrong guy and that Comcast needs to send somebody from another department to do a "rewire." He said he'd put in a ticket and to call the next day to confirm.
I called the next day, but they couldn't find anything. I spent about 3 hours on the phone trying to reach the right group to schedule a rewire and get free backup wifi service from them in the meantime. They said I'd have to call another department to get the backup wifi service. So I did; only to have that other department tell me that I can't get free wifi service because I don't have Comcast service. I tried to explain that I didn't have Comcast service because they sent the wrong technician TWICE. They said I had to talk to another department and connected me. After being on hold for 30 minutes, the person from the other department told me I would have to call the wifi department. I told them that's who I talked to earlier. So they told me they couldn't do anything, but recommended to call a different department the next day to schedule the rewire job.
I called that other department the next day and, after 30 minutes on the phone, found somebody who seem to know what's going on. They said they'll schedule the rewire technician to come by in a week. That's today. So I just received a call from Comcast early, saying the technician will be coming 1.5 hours late (after the 2-hour window they gave me). Out of caution, I asked them if the technician is coming to do the rewire job. They then told me NO! Their group doesn't do any rewire jobs and that needed to be done by the rewire group at Comcast. I just about lost it!!! The service person said they'll call the Comcast rewire group, put me on hold for 15 minutes, and said somebody from over there would call me right away to schedule a rewire appointment. That was an hour ago.
CAN ANYBODY BELIEVE THAT??? I'VE NEVER DEALT WITH A COMPANY WHO SHOWED THAT LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE, DYSFUNCTIONALITY, AND TOTAL DISRESPECT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS' TIME!!!!

I signed up for Comcast's xfinity internet and cable TV. Internet was slow. I could not stream videos online. I called customer service. They said let the video upload first, then watch it. The cable TV reception was poor. We could not watch movies on cable without losing a picture (any movie any channel). I called customer service; they restarted the equipment and told me to wait for 2 hours then use it again. Restarting the equipment did not help.
On 1/24/15, 2 weeks after I installed the service, I called Comcast and canceled all services. They have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Customer service assured me that I will not owe anything because I canceled services prior to 30 days ended. Approximately two weeks after cancellation, I got a statement which claimed that I did not return their equipment and had to pay for the equipment and services that I canceled. On 2/8/15, I called Comcast; a representative told me that he saw that there was an incorrect charge on my account and he will correct my balance.
On 2/11/15, I got 2 phone calls from collection agency. Followed by 3 more phone calls on 2/12 and 2/13. I want to emphasize that, according to the statement, my first and only due date is 2/27/15. Comcast sent my account to collection before the due date! I would have never expected this treatment from any company. Comcast truly exceeded my expectations by providing awful services and inappropriate treatment. My balance was supposed to be 0 because I canceled the services within 30 days of customer satisfaction guarantee period and returned the equipment.
I also called Comcast on 2/14/15 and a representative told me that they will correct my balance. I called Comcast today, 2/20/15, and I was told that my balance has not changed. I was also told that they cannot see why my balance did not change because their system does not work today. I asked why they send accounts to collection prior to their due date. The representative answered, "we always send accounts to collection as soon as someone cancels the account" (paraphrase).
I wanted to share my experience because I am hoping that some people will read this prior to signing up for Comcast's services. I do not want anyone to go through the treatment that I am going through.

I had been a customer of Comcast for 8 years and until we moved we had not experienced much in the way problems with internet and On Demand. When we moved into our new house we started getting intermittent internet connections. We also started having problems with On Demand access. Every time we had a problem Comcast said they couldn't duplicate it and there was nothing wrong with the service.
What finally made me decide to move to another service was that I decided to pay my bill early. It showed as an option on the website even though I was enrolled in Auto Pay. Well a few days later they deducted the payment again from my checking account. When I called they said that I would have had to cancel my enrollment in Auto Pay before paying early. It said nothing about that on the website. It took them 3 weeks to process the refund to my account.
I cancelled my service on January 29th. On February 9 they deducted another month's payment from my account. Then they sent me a bill with a credit on it for a partial month rather than just deducting what I really owed them for for the February 9th bill. When I called to see when I was going to get my money back, I was told that it takes 4-5 weeks. That's ridiculous that they will have had my money for a total of 2 months. I would look at other providers first before doing anything with Comcast.

I had decided to bundle my phone, Internet and cable in order to reduce the separate amounts I was paying for all three. Comcast contacted me about this and I was on the phone with a representative for 30 minutes just to find a plan that could work for me. We arrived at a $180 monthly bill, still high but better than what I was paying. At no point was I told the bundling would create additional one-time charges, replace my existing DVR box and remove HBO from my channels.
When I called back another representative found that if I had just added HBO, my monthly bill would be lowered to $159 monthly. We did so and I was content until I received my monthly bill, which was for $302: $159 for the services I wanted, and $143 in fees for bundling, none of which I was informed about. I called and went through a variety of representatives before being told that it would take a week to review the phone call in which I made these changes to verify if I was correct in saying I was not informed.
That would have been bad enough but then the following Saturday the cable/DVR box stopped working, and I spent an hour on the phone with the reps to fix it. None of the attempts worked. They wanted to send a technician to look at the problem but I would pay $50 for the visit. Moreover, who can stay home from work all day to await a service tech? I have a kind retired neighbor who will do these things for me, but this isn't my only utility or service need, and I can't take advantage of her kindness. Finally, after removing the box from its connections, I managed to get the cable box to work again until Tuesday, when it stopped again. I managed to get it working again until Saturday, and nothing I did or the Comcast reps did could get it to work again. It was suggested I take the box back to the local office and exchange it for another.
On Monday, with Presidents' Day off, I went to the office to exchange the box but the office had closed due to inclement weather, while all other utilities and many other businesses were still open. While I was there, another customer showed up for similar reasons. A repair truck from Comcast pulled in only to tell us what we knew, that they were closed. As we gave him our complaints, he literally rolled up his window and drove away in mid-conversation. I managed to get the box working once again, but noticed that I hadn't had any phone calls on my landline. I checked it, and it hadn't been working the entire time. In addition, my wifi always has to reboot when I start using it, instead of being on constantly the way wifi works!
There is no one to appeal to at Comcast, and every bit of service costs you more. The reps are all patently nice and polite as they inform you the company has no flexibility whatsoever. Clearly they are trained to be pleasant in all situations, but they are never helpful. It's like talking to a person wearing a constantly fake smile as they hold you at gunpoint.
I've yet to hear back from Comcast about my bundling call, which I have no doubt will be found in their favor. I've yet to figure out how to get money back for having no phone service and spotty cable TV at best. Without competition and regulation, the cable companies are holding consumers hostage, and Comcast is the kingpin of the gang.

I negotiated a new contract with Comcast cable because my 99 plan became close to $200 over a period of a year. For the third time they will tell you that I was on a special that I never signed up for. When I called to cancel Comcast cable the supervisor came on the phone to convince me Tuesday they will give me a $99 plan for 2 years and my bill will not go up. I agreed. I received after one year of being in a two year contract bills with taxes $119 only lasted a couple of months. I notice my bill went up three more dollars. So I was paying $122.00. By the time I could call them in the next two days I received a bill stating that I owe 124.00 next month. While talking to an agent she stated that they are allowed to raise my bill while being in a two year contract. He referred me to the next person who told me I did not have a contract.
Who referred me to a lead person who told me that I was in a contract but they are not raising the price on my cable deal but they are raising the price on my modem? So my bill will not be $124 it will go up to 126 because they are charging an extra $2 on the modem. I am trying to figure out how my $99 plans went up to a hundred and twenty six dollars on a $2 modem increase. Looks like I am back on my way to a 200 dollar phone bill with my $99 2 year contract plan.

I had so many problems with them and because of the cost I switched to another vendor. I just received a bill this morning for $3,027.78 and I was floored, to say the least. I called them as soon as I could and discussed this with them and they did not budge.

The amount itself is incredibly high, even if in the fine print, which most people trust and don't read, if they are like me. The charge was over $2,500 and I suppose late fees incurred as I don't remember getting a bill or didn't open their campaigns to get me back until this morning.

I explained that I had this service when Chad moved in, and we added him only with an email address, but I pay the bill and am the only one listed on the bill. Seems pretty simple.

I said, I know his password because I set up his account, but I would never sign in. That would be intrusive and he has a password that he likes. Why would I need to do that? He cannot explain..
I ask for a Supervisor and am told they will call me back in 24 hours. Ok, then I make one last attempt to fix it, because now, he claims he put me as the primary person (so I can pay them), but when I went to log on, guess what, I'm not allowed access and it no longer shows Chad's email as a user on my account.

Everyone who reads this... DO NOT... Please DO NOT... subscribe to Comcast. They are the worst cable company I have ever dealt with in my life. I moved to Oregon over two years ago and found that Comcast is the only cable provider (other than Dish and DirecTV but I've heard satellite does not do good in Oregon winters and high winds). We have had Comcast since November 2012 and moved to a new location in June 2014 and had our Comcast services transferred... or so we thought.
I found an alternative to cable TV, I decided to subscribe to Hulu Plus because in my opinion it was better and cheaper than cable TV. My bill with Comcast was $133.00 monthly with cable (digital starter), home phone and internet. I contacted them via chat and asked how much it would be to just keep the internet and the representative told me the price and that I would pay an early termination fee because I was still under a contract. Umm what? We have had Comcast for over two years already and we were not informed that we still had a contract? So long story short, when we moved in June 2014, instead of transferring our services to the new address, they put us under a NEW contract, WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL OR AUTHORIZATION!
I was livid! I did NOT sign any paperwork stating I wanted a new contract, I didn't even have to sign anything to transfer over the services to my new address! I told the representative this and said I wanted this resolved. They put me on hold for a few minutes, came back on and said "I see in your account that you were not notified of a new contract and it was only supposed to be a transfer, I apologize for that". So then the ** went back to my initial inquiry and just completely IGNORED the fact that something was WRONG! I totally went off! I was so mad.

Their competition has no problem doing this, yet Comcast refuses to provide the equal service of their competitors. In my research, it's become apparent that in general terms, when you subscribe to Comcast, you are getting less service for more money. It's sad that in most areas, you only get once choice - if my area has Verizon FiOs, you bet I'd be switching. There needs to be serious change in how these companies are allowed to operate, open market competition is the answer. I love to see a la carte purchase options as well.

On this day I have been waiting and given a third time for which I can expect the tech to come to my home. I haven't even taken into consideration all the snow we had had in Boston but everywhere I look I see XFINITY trucks but they will not come to my house. I had one lie and said he came but nobody answered the door. Fresh snow had been falling all morning and there were no tracks indicating that someone had been to the house but this is acceptable!
So far to date I have been given $120 in credits for NO SHOW TECHS! Today as I sit here waiting since 7:30 am for my scheduled appointment slot of 8 - 10, 11 - 12 and this last time 1 - 1:30 the rep guaranteed me I would get installation today! I have spent countless hour waiting on tech to install my cable, phone and Internet. If there were a better cable supplier I would go with them but I heard horror stories about Directv, RCN and Verizon.

Comcast has missed over 5 service calls in past 6 days to come out for a simple HD box install. They NO SHOW and DON'T CARE. My self and fiance have been on phone with customer service, managers, supervisors for days. NO ONE is keeping their word about fixing this simple issue. They keep bumping out my HD box install date. We have taken time off work and have spent hours on the phone with them and getting no where. I filed a complaint with the BBB. This is UNFAIR!!! Comcast does NOT care about their customers or their time. And I have been with them for over 20 years. Sure they take your money every month But they won't help you when you need it!! Thanks Comcast for ruining my Valentines Day!!!

I have Internet and TV with Comcast. I was going to cancel Comcast TV. Disconnected everything. Called 1 last time. Agreed to new lower final TOTAL rate of $64.99 for 1 year (plus tax), 79.99 year 2 plus tax, and 104.99 year 3 plus tax, all with no contract required. Talked with Aika on 12-17-14. Was cheaper considering they were going to up my internet only service.
Paid first two bills. (They were messed up but got straightened out.) 2-13-15, received a new Comcast bill with a new unknown "Broadcast Fee" charge of 3.50. Was NOT what we had agreed to for me to keep my service with them! These are phony billing practices and there should be a class action suit brought against them for their phony billing practices!

This time I got the required cable box and it was packed without the power cord or the HDMI cables. The box did not work and I spent over 3 hours with the representatives trying to activate it. Some of the 5 people I talked to gave long explanations of paragraphs length when 1 sentence would have explained the problem. Finally I was sent to the activation department 3 times including a 15 minute wait to see if the box would turn on when the final customer representative told me "Not to worry, I will go back to store and get a new box." I was told to make sure it was tested before I bring it back home. If you are in a monopoly situation, check everything before you leave the store. This is not AT&T folks.
I can save Comcast the trouble of utilizing feedback technology to gauge what they are doing wrong with the company service. Just provide the exact same service as AT&T. When I had it, the box never failed and the picture never went out. The customer service people were actually trained and quickly had the answers. They came that day to set up the service where the cables don't spill out, because we have to have cables all over the place since they can get several more times the money from them than if we use wi-fi and no cables. The only problem is AT&T kept hounding me to pay for the maximum service and lied about the costs while avoiding my follow-up questions. Shame, shame, shame AT&T! Cost several times and that turned me off the company. But I guess I should have stuck with them.

The advertisement showed a price of $49.99 w/o a contract for TV and Internet with a download speed of up to 100 Mbps. This is a BIG JOKE. After dealing with the Internet going down every morning and coming up late afternoon I did a speed test and found one night I got a speed of less than 1 Mbps on download and the next day a download speed of 3 Mbps. I called customer service to find out what the contract speed was supposed to be and was told I was to only get up to 3 Mbps download. What happened to the up to 100 Mpbs? Is this just a come on to buy extra equipment, higher contract fees? I had DSL for 10 Mbps and was down only 4 times in the 5 years I had them. I am sorry I switched to Comcast.

First when the installation guy went to my house, was very unrespectful with my wife, she asked some questions and he responded very aggressive and when she asked to please show him how to connect the Wi-Fi to the iPad he got very upset because he didn't have time for that and we should know how to do it. Then on 06/09/14 I called about the channels were not the entire package I order and they were going to give me a free month, they never did. Then on 06/10/14 I called at 8:12 AM and spoke with Briana to cancel the service, she said she could not reimbursed me for anything, she told me to return the equipment, and I did, they made me go to one of their stores because I couldn't return it via mail.
When I went to the store, I told them about some charges they made and that the installation was going to be refunded as a credit on my account (wrote on the contract by the sales guy) and they said that it was no possible because they only can assist with the equipment return and not that they cant assist with anything related with the charges on the bill, that I have to contact Comcast on the phone and explain the situation. Then on 06/17/14 at 6:48 PM I spoke with AJ, I called again about the charge when I saw the bill and they said they were not able to assist with this, I told him I can scan or fax the contract and they told me that it was not possible.
Then on 06/18/14 at 9:05 AM I spoke with George, and he was going to talk with his supervisor about all the charges because and was 4 days late to cancel the service, instead on the 30 days I called on day 34, he said he wrote the notes on the computer about all the issues I had, but nothing happened, I told him I can scan or fax the contract and they told me that it was not possible. Then I spoke with the Supervisor (Jessica) at 9:26 AM and she said she was not able to find any notes about all the issues I had and there was nothing she could do because I call 4 days late to cancel the service and that they have to charge me for the full month and no reimbursement, I told her I can scan or fax the contract and they told me that it was not possible.
Now they sent me to a collection agency for $220.23 and they have been calling me since then trying to collect the money, and I refuse to pay them, because they told me something on the phone and in the contract, but when is to the customer benefit they say they can't help or that is not true what I'm saying.

I was promised to have 50 mbps download speed when I called to have the service a few month ago with an advertisement price. I then found out that I got 25mbps, unless I add money to upgrade. Later, I called to complain that I only got 5mbps every evening by using online speed test. My cable modem is brand new with docsis 3.0 requested by Comcast. One rep told me that I should get 25mbps. She sent a technician to my home. The technician told me that there is nothing he can help because there are too many people using the internet in our area (about 600-800). The internet is shared by everyone who is using the Comcast. I was supposed to receive 3 mbps up to 25. He also told me that he will not charge me the $70 service due to the customer service reps lack of the knowledge.
A month later, I was charged the $70 service by my automatic payment. I called again. A rep told me that he will remove the $70 and upgrade my speed to 50 mbps without additional charge. He said that it would be effective in 20 minutes for me to have 50 mbps. Now a week later after I talked to the rep. I called Comcast again. The rep (name is Latoya) told me that she checked the conversation history, she found the notes to upgrade to 50 but never installed. I have to pay an additional fee to have upgrade. She didn't see any note about remove of $70. She said that the technician has to remove it and she has no way to find the technician. She said that she has a solution for me to upgrade to 50 by paying an extra. I rejected. I asked to talk to her supervisor. She said that my case is not qualify to escalate to supervisor. I feel that there is one lie by another from Comcast.

I've had the worst customer service experience with Comcast. I've been trying to resolve a billing issue for a month now, calling almost every other day. The representatives are the most incompetent people I've ever dealt with, considering I've spoken to at least 12 of them. Twice I was put on a list to be called by a supervisor with NO call back. Apparently I was cut a refund check and was not told by anyone about this, especially since I wanted a payment reversal to a different account. So, really nothing was resolved. It was like starting from scratch with each phone call, and one representative would claim they couldn't look up my old accounts while another (yesterday) looked it up with no problem.

I have had Comcast since my old apartment in 2013, and was told my contract would last 1 year, and now I am being told that my contract is for 3 years. I was given a quote for $134.99 and now my bill has more than tripled to $400.00 in less than a month. The initial service tech that sold me the package told me that my bill would only up $10.00 if I upgrade to the 360 package. i asked him if there would be any additional fees he told me no, so I told him ok and then he came out to my house told me that he would not install my camera unless he could put them in my bedroom. I instructed him to leave or I would call the cops and he left. I notified Comcast of the issue and they told me they would have someone call me, no call and send another service tech to my house.
The initial tech who I asked to leave called me personally from his cell phone and told me he was at my front door to install my services. I told him to get off my property or the cops would be notified, he left. I informed Comcast again of this incident. No call returned. Then a service tech was sent out only to get out here and not be able to do anything. He said, "Oh, I don't know how to install cameras. I only fix services," and then he left. A new service tech was sent out by the name of Demond and he installed 3 cameras and didn't mention any additional fees for coming out and I got my first bill from Comcast in august it was $1145.00. I almost fell out my chair. So i called Comcast every month from august 2014 until 02/2015. to get fees and stuff resolved. I was credited back some money, but not of which I do not owe.
At the time I received the bill I told Comcast I didn't want any of the services anymore, they then told me I would not be able to cancel because my initial contract was not over. I asked when it was over, I was told 7.28.15, so I was going to try and wait it out until now. I speak to an service rep on 2.10.15 and was told my contract is not going to be over until 2017. like **!; which means my contract was extended another 2 years. I am pissed. I was lied to regarding the fees and then Comcast goes and renews my contract without my knowledge and tells me if I cancel I will owe them over 1000 dollars to get out of contract since it's been renewed.
I am not satisfied with the behavior of their employees, the fact that they lie to their customers just to make money. I am an single mother with a 2 year and taking care of my disabled brother. I don't have money to spend 400 a month on cable when it's not going to put food on my table or take care of my household. I told them they need to take me out of this contract because i was highly bamboozled and this is not appropriate. I am highly pissed and I am not happy about this ** outrageous bill. I am tired of this ** and obviously if they had looked at my bills they would know I never payed that much.
I am so over Comcast and would never recommend them to anyone. I told the representative that if they can't cancel my contract they renewed without telling me, I would have to consult with an attorney and go to the news. She told me go ahead so that's going to be my next step. I have never been this stressed in my life over some cable, so over Comcast.

Comcast has no integrity of their business and do not make customer satisfaction guaranteed.

After I asked several times to make sure she was understanding me correctly I said okay and canceled my check.. The following week my check came in and it came back to them as a returned check so it showed I had an unpaid balance as well as a penalty fee.. It was then turned over to a collectors agency and I started getting numerous phone calls. When I called Comcast multiple different times each representative said they didn't see an unpaid balance.
I, then, went into a local Comcast store and he saw the unpaid balance. After speaking to a supervisor she was very helpful and just said I needed to pay it to get them to stop calling, so I did. I ended up canceling my account, because they have no integrity and their employees never tell me the same thing.. A couple weeks later I get a refund check of that amount so I figured it was a mistake on their part..
Two months later I get calls again saying I have an unpaid balance and after explaining to them all the steps I have been through and done nothing wrong and everything is their error, they will not credit the money on my account because it is an unpaid service that I used.. They would rather have an unsatisfied customer and bad reviews than to take the blame for their mistake and credit the less than $200 bill.

Since being a Comcast subscriber in September of 2014, the speeds I have paid for have never been what has been promoted. I usually let it slide because speeds can be an ever-changing and difficult thing technologically speaking. However, there are moments in my service, say, for two weeks or more where I will experience speeds so slow the internet is actually unusable and will in fact go out of service on and off. This will make the internet for those weeks completely unusable at times and probably takes up the better part of 50% of the time it is acting up.
Recently, the internet in my apartment has been dreadful. I tried to take action by calling 1-800-COMCAST. After going through all of the options, it hung up on me. Time and time again. That number doesn't work at all for me. I then tried calling 1-800-XFINITY. The same things happened. I had to resort to restarting my modem and calling their OK-BEGIN line. I was disconnected, and not contacted back.
Frustrated with the absolutely unnecessary trouble I had to go through with simply getting a hold of them by phone, I reported to technical support online. The first person I received technical support from spend half of the time trying to legitimately fix my problem, and the other half trying to push a promotion on me. Desperate for faster speeds I accepted the promotion and got what I believe was a 105mbps speed (this is very fast and should absolutely guarantee flawless internet for myself and my two roommates).
The internet worked well for about 2 hours after the online technical support. And then it went back to its same routine of not only not delivering the promotional speeds, it stopped working all together. Infuriated, I tried another online technician. It was extremely difficult to conduct this because my internet was going in and out of service. Finally, the technician changed channels and then asked me to close my browser, expect for her message box, and then reopen it, deleting all cookies and then testing my speed. I was disconnected with her during this process (of course) and from then my internet was a sad sad story.
I then FINALLY made a call to Comcast that was answered by way of running across a blog where someone talked about their ok, we're on it number where there is no wait. I spoke with an absolutely incompetent representative who didn't know the number for wireless support and then simply transferred me. On the phone with wireless support, the worker tried to resolve my issue with me and after failing to resolve it, said that my only two options at that point were to either have a technician come out, exchange my modem, or both.
So the next morning I took Chicago Public transit all the way down to their office on North Ave. The woman who "helped" me....absolutely atrociously rude. Hands down the worst experience I have had with a representative, dare I say....anywhere. I eventually exchanged modems and came back home. After activating my new modem I tried then to connect my own personal router to it because the Xfinity modem/router all-in-one box signal does not reach my entire apartment, but a 20 dollar router from Amazon does.
In the process of trying to connect my router to the now functioning internet (still at only 15mbps when I am currently paying for 105mbps) the router would not connect. I called the Wifi support line number, and NEW number that was on the bottom of my receipt. It worked. Thank God. The person I spoke to was simply awesome, actually. His name was Joel, I wish I had asked for his last name. He may have sounded Eastern European or something. Anyways, he worked with me on the phone for over 2 hours (this is not an exaggeration, I logged the call time), to try and figure it out.
He came to the conclusion that is this: I am currently getting "ping boot file shows cdv only" when I should be getting, "ping boot file shows wide band.” He contacted billing to see what internet I was paying for to confirm that I should be getting wide band. After helping me uncover this information he then set up a technician time for one to come out and see as he can't hash this out. He gave me a ticket number with the notes he took.
He was the only positive thing during this whole unnecessary first-world saga. His help actually inspired me to be a better person in general, because he GENUINELY WANTED TO HELP ME. He never pushed any promotions on me and just tried to figure the problem out. So now....it is currently 5pm central time in Chicago on February 9th, 2015. The technician was scheduled to come anywhere from 3-5pm. I just received a call from Comcast saying that, "the technician is running behind and will be here anytime after 5pm.” Yes, that is literally the message that was relayed to me. "...any time after 5pm.”
I made a two hour pocket of time in my day WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN WORKING, to accommodate this BS. And they can't even properly follow through.So now I am waiting in my apartment for a "sometime after 5..." arrival. I am not even going to proofread what I just typed because I am actually, legitimately tired from mentally processing all of the BS I have been through with this company.
That is why I titled this complaint like that in the subject line. Because not only do they have bad customer service. THEY DON'T HAVE GOOD PEOPLE WITH MORALS AND STANDARDS WORKING FOR THEM. Aside from Joel, who I still regret not getting the full name of, this company has actually been the worst I have ever, ever, ever dealt with. I work too. I have a limited income. Of that work, a lot of it has to be done on my home internet. The internet is necessary to me. And Comcast has the balls to absolutely not only give me the finger as a customer, but as a person.

I have Comcast in Cape Coral, Florida and it's been nothing but a nightmare! From not knowing how to take my account off of a seasonal hold, to charging me full price while my account is on a seasonal hold, and then not crediting my account for $292.08 (as of this writing, it's been over 3 months) because they charged me full price while on the seasonal hold when they shouldn't have done so.
Again, as of this writing, I've asked to speak to a manager and I've been on hold for 29 minutes and 50 seconds after speaking to yet another CSR who give me different information from when I previously called. (I waited about 35 minutes only to get another CSR!!! I'm completely appalled!! Now, THAT CSR put me on hold to get a manager)! Comcast has said they've cut a check to me for the $292.08 on December 23rd and on January 29th...
It is February 9th and I've yet to receive a check. The Comcast CSR told me that I received a credit when I never did, and I've been on a wild goose chase just to get my money back!! I could go on and on. The bottom line is that I want my money refunded to me. Comcast debits my checking account but says they cannot credit my checking account with a refund. How ridiculous is that?!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!

I am in collections for an account that had a dispute with the return of equipment. They had their tech install new equipment in 2006 when the house was built. Another time they upgraded my equipment in 2011 and replaced and removed all existing equipment in my beach property. Then they removed all equipment in 2014 when I sold my home and canceled the service. They are saying I owe for the equipment that the tech removed from the property in 2011 and that they never received the outdated boxes. They upgraded the boxes so why would I want old boxes and if everything was done by their service people how could I have it? I want to sue COMCAST for $100,000 dollars and have the retainer **.

So thankful I only have 6 months left in Washington. Which means I only have 6 months left with Comcast. It honestly is a terrible provider. At least once a week it "can't connect to the x1 platform." What does that mean? Good question. Can't watch movies, can't look at the guide, CAN'T CHANGE CHANNELS. Seriously, I'm stuck on the same channel now and this is not the first time.. This week. I used to hate Time Warner back at home, now I'm praying for Time Warner. Both crappy companies, Comcast just takes the cake. They offer "streampix," Comcast's version of Netflix. Don't be fooled. No decent movies, they're all 5 years old and not interesting whatsoever. Please search for other options, Comcast is honest to God, the worst TV provider I've ever had, by far.

My service went out on Saturday Jan. 30, called CSR and they said ck connections like a typical scripted response. Connections don’t unscrew by themselves. It was working Friday night. Then they said it was not on their end it must be a defective DVR player. The next day (Super Bowl Sunday) it worked fine all day. I decided to follow up and downgrade to HD box instead of DVR in case the problem was intermittent. I was mislead years ago to have 3D function, this upgrade was necessary. I later found out only a few stations are broadcasting in 3D, because it has to be filmed in 3D. O.k. I’ve been paying ten dollars extra for three years for nothing. Technician said it was not his job to explain recording functions or even offered online instruction availability.
I returned the DVR box Sat. Feb. 7. Person assured me, just connect coaxial cable to input and HDMI port to TV then wait 30 minutes to activate new box. I followed instructions and no signal. Again the same dude said the scripted response, and wanted to schedule a technician the following Tuesday, and only if box was defective would there be no charge otherwise 30-50 dollars. I figured it out myself and now it works. They did not go in to rewiring due to Blue Ray device, and surround sound. I was fuming for an hour trying different combinations, and now it works. However I want to take this opportunity to vent my frustration.
First you have people that barely speak English talking to customers. All they know is apologize and send a technician. If not for my diligence and electronic experience, a person would have been out of luck until next week and wiring changes would have cost 50 dollars. I know that’s good for the corporate profit, but what about customer happiness dealing with your company? Not wanting to be less than constructive in my criticism, perhaps a duty technician could have talked me through on the phone. I hate to think you would refuse that simple solution for corporate greed and the C.E.O.'s worship of the almighty dollar!

I had my Comcast service disconnected two months ago and Comcast actually owed me a refund. I never received the refund and today I just so happen to log into my account and see a balance of $415! I called Comcast to see what was going on and apparently they FORGOT to complete the process. I was told by the representative that I was lucky I called today because after 60 days, it goes to collections and would affect my credit score/report. Today is day 59. How am I lucky? If COMCAST would have properly done their job TWO MONTHS ago, I wouldn't be in this situation. No, Comcast you are lucky because if that would have happened due to your negligence, LAWSUIT!

Haven't had proper service since October 1 2014. Brand new home and the cables were never run into the house. Had to wait for an outside company to run the cables under the street. First tech damaged the garage walls. Second tech told me he could only put in one phone jack. Third tech had no clue of what he was doing. Fifth tech reset boxes but there was a problem linking the boxes together. Sixth tech hooked up the rest of the phone lines and the additional room outputs for cable. Tech 7 changed output on tv's to HDMI 3. Tells me Comcast has bad software in the Xfinity platform. Service supervisor and an additional tech spent 2 days going through the entire house for over 8 hours and finally found the problems. Meanwhile Comcast wants me to pay for the 3 month's that I had lost service at best. Still waiting for damages in my garage to be paid for.

So Comcast approved me for service after several years of not having them. I had to terminate the service for a hardship and I know I had a balance. So when they called me to confirm they say they can not start the service until the back bill is paid. I say no problem I knew I had a small balance like 180. NO!!! they tell me $500 WTF!!
Who are they kidding no service for about 3 years and you are trying to get me for almost 3 times the bill!!! There is no way I would pay that, now they lose a person who was more than willing to start service and pay $100 a month. What kind of sense does that make!! I work for a company that is just as big as they are and they don't even do that for past due bills.
The customer service agents are so robotic and lack personal skills and so not willing to listen to you. No wonder they are getting bad press at Comcast for their customer service. I rather just go to a competitor but can't because of where the property sits. This is crazy all I want is cable and internet in my house so my son can do his class work. Comcast is a joke, heartless and just plan wrong!!!

I am very dissatisfied with the service I get. For over a year now I have had lag issues. Over 19 technicians have been to my house all have said it is on Comcasts end and I would need a truck out here to fix it. During this year I have talked to many employees, supervisors even corporate. To date they have not fixed this issue or even bothered to look into it even tho the tests show it is on their end. I do not even get a discount for the issues I have had over the year. But I do get a bill each month for a service I am failing to get.

Let me first say that I left Comcast 3 years ago because their customer service was so poor. But, with internet and satellite from two different providers, the allure of faster internet and lower cost (locked in for 2 years) was quite alluring. They also had a 30 day guarantee which made this seem too good not to try. I went to the local Xfinity store to set up an installation. At the time, I made it clear to the sales person that I would not be porting my phone number off of AT&T until I was sure that all other services were working well. They said this was no problem and I was set for installation on the next Sunday.
On the Friday the installation, I came home to three messages on my answering machine. The first from an automated system saying there was a problem with the install and I needed to call ASAP. The second from a frantic sounding CSR saying I needed to call Comcast immediately and the third from an automated system telling me that the install was cancelled. All three calls came in within a 3 hour window.
In the evening, I called their toll-free number. It should be noted that I was unceremoniously disconnected at three different points during a 2-hour ordeal through Comcast hell. When no one could tell me why the install was disconnected, I asked to be transferred to the disconnection department. I found someone competent who was able to explain that they could not install the service without a phone number and what they would have to do was assign a temporary number and then perform the porting of the home phone later. They spent another 45 minutes on the phone with me to setup an emergency installation for Sunday afternoon and we said our good-byes.
Sunday afternoon came and went and no one came. I called at the end of the Window only to be told that they had no installation scheduled. I let this sit for a week as I was going on vacation and resumed my attempt to trial the service in the new year (2015) [now, against my wife's better judgement]. However, now that I *knew* what the installation personnel needed to do, it certainly helped me tell them how to get it right. And I did get it installed. So what that I had an orange cable draped across my lawn.
The internet was an order of magnitude better than AT&T, but the video was poor. I found that the video was leading the audio by 50-100ms, enough to cause a bit of brain confusion and more than enough to cause disorientation in my daughter who reads lips to help her hearing deficit. Figuring that there was some QC which must have known, I waited a week but things still did not improve.
Another hour on the phone and two CSRs later, I finally got connected to Tier-2/Headend support and I explained that there is no way to compensate for audio lab and the issue is in the transcoder. The Tier-2 CSR (Les) was fairly knowledgeable and found another similar ticket was logged a week and a half earlier and he linked them. We talked a few times in the following 3 days and I told them to read a recorded show off the box as an example of the lip-sync issue. A few days later, still no ETA, but they recognized there was a problem.
Time to hang it up. About 3 weeks into my 30 day trial, I went to the Xfinity store where the odyssey started and asked if they could review the bill/extend the trial due to their issues (by now there were half a dozen tickets on my account). The sales person was very curt, saying essentially that I had only two options, pay full price or disconnect and that was it. No supervisor or anything. So, disconnect it was.
Two days later, I brought in all the DVR boxes and cable modem and was shocked to see all the equipment thrown away (cables, power supplies, even the $3/month video box -- ok, that was a mistake but just an example of the continued carelessness). The attendant had never handled a disconnection within the 30 days, but after a supervisor came by, all was supposed to be done. However, they have no accounting responsibility so a ticket had to be created to close the account and zero the balance. This happened on 1/23/15. Five days later, I get a bill for $400+!!
So, another call to CSR hell and I talked to someone and gave them the ticket number. I got some story that there were delays in the system (5 days?!) and that the account was now zeroed out. I thought that was it, until 2/5 -- when I get another bill. I noticed that Comcast is not affiliated with the BBB (what a shock). If Comcast should want to fix this, my email is **.

The rep who handled my claim put my office building address down as my service address even though I told them the correct address multiple times. So when technicians arrived on install date they refused to install since wrong service address was on file. They also had all of the wrong equipment and were prepared to install the incorrect cable package (the rep and I agreed to a different one). So I was told to go to a Comcast service center and when you call there you are once again dealing with a automated system that directs you to more CS reps. Not anyone at the actual location so I can't be professional and set up a appointment. So now I run the risk of not being able to talk to anyone about my issue when I go into the service center.
I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A MORE PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM IN MY LIFE. Is passing elementary school the only prerequisite for becoming a customer service rep at Comcast? Putting down a correct address would seem to be a pretty high priority but I guess that's too much to ask for. If my mother hadn't run up a 600 dollar debt from AT&T in my name when I was 19, I would have went with them days ago. Truly a horrible experience.

Was called by sales to subscribe to internet. Was told that I needed to convert to e-mail billing only or there would soon be a $5 service charge on each account. I have 4. I called customer service billing to cancel postal delivery. I was told that was not true. That if I got an internet account with them that don't call I need to go online and make the change. From the initial communication this person was rude, condescending and made me wonder do they ever monitor these people and who does the hiring. Why do they have a monopoly. Can we get more providers.
