    A CUSTOMER FROM 2010: Connecticut. I was recently sent a letter on October 25th, which I received on Oct. 27th stating that I owed Comcast 20.00 for using a DVR box that I was not paying for. I thought WTF? I do not have a DVR box at all. This had been confirmed on other occasions as I had to call Comcast to complain of ‘tiling’ on my TV screen. To boot, they sent me my monthly invoice dated 25, received also on Oct. 27th s with a $20.00 fee attached!

    On October 30th, I called the beloved customer service and after you have to deal with all the button pushing, the MAN on the other end said to read the model number- it was an RNG 100 a box that DOES NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO BE A DVR and HE, politely as pie, he says, “nope, I’m sorry that is a DVR box.” I said “this is the 2nd time you have harassed me about having something I don’t." Scruples? Comcast or Xfinity have none. I was pissed and said “ Hey get one of your techy’s out here and we will see." Sure enough, I had the best technician come out. He took one look and said “THAT’S NOT A DVR BOX AT ALL." I said "Thank you, I knew that but some idiot that I called the day before and made me read the serial numbers to, said different." What a piece of work Comcast is.

    I told my very informative, very well trained techy, he should be a manager with the way things are going with this “Conglomerate“ called Comcast/Xfinity. I then told him with poor communications with my phone - I have a bundle deal with phone, internet and TV - and he said "that’s not right" and I explained that I also get bumped off watching a streaming video - on the Xfinity site, which I PAY FOR! He investigated where the cables were hooked up and I mentioned that a previous tech said because I am on the end of the line sometimes the signal was not as strong (meaning I am at the last portion of where the wires go to my home). I lose signal strength big time. He said, "why didn’t they put an amplifier in?" I was FLOORED!!! I recently had someone come out due to the tiling issue with my TV and he said all was OK with the house - which was correct - and the issue was at the POLE.

    So at that time, why didn’t this technician install an Amplifier to increase my signal strength??? I've been paying for lousy, service for months!!! My favorite techy was dismayed as well. He said, "that’s the problem" and installed the amplifier to increase the strength of my signal. But all along I had been paying for something I did not have. Conglomerate. So, besides having a mishandling of my account @ Xfinity/Comcast & accusing me of having something I never, ever had, plus the fact that I should have had an amplifier installed months ago, plus the fact that my phone calls out of country were so lagging in conversation to the other party, it was utterly annoying… plus the fact that Comcast charged me for something I never ever had, plus, OMG they OWE ME!!!

    Where do they get off and when do customers start to matter? 400 million phone and interactions with people who are pissed off - my lord, Get it together or get the hell out! I plan to gain a much overdue credit with this Conglomerate. They will pay for the distrust they have put on this particular customer. They did not trust me- why in the heck should I trust them.

    Trying to transfer our services from one address to another. Originally made the request online, then called the day of closing of our new home and the agent at Comcast told me there were NO pending requests. Then she told me it would take 8 days to get someone to turn on the service at the new address, set the date and time and then set the date and time of disconnect. Based on this I had to change my entire MOVE – not to mention I need internet to work since I work out of my home. We then close on our new home that same day. Upon returning to current address, Comcast had disconnected that same day ONE WEEK earlier than she confirmed to me earlier that day when I set up connection and disconnection. I called Comcast and 6 different AGENTS transferred me back and forth for 3 hours. They were insincere, didn't care about the inconvenience.

    This is causing me in MONEY for a MOVE and in lost WAGES if I can't work due to NOT having internet service. They finally said the department that could help me was open (now this is 3 hours later and by a SUPERVISOR), and when transferred for the 7th time, I was given a recording that the department was closed and to call back. How can a HUGE company that monopolizes the entire Cable Industry survive with this kind of service or lack thereof? If you can stay away from COMCAST – DO SO, they are the WORST company I've ever dealt with. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH COMCAST!

    My parents (in their 70's) realized that Comcast had disconnected their email service with no notification and then I spent 13 days trying to get it resolved for them. Comcast apparently accidentally transferred my parents' account to some total strangers' account, and my parents were locked out completely from their mail. Who does that? How in the world does a business "accidentally" transfer someone’s email to a perfect stranger? Issue number 1. So, I spent NO JOKE 13 days on and off being told one thing, and then told another, and then something different - always conflicting information. And finally (a very long story short) it appears they have transitioned my parents' email back to working status (although 18 days of emails were completely missing).

    After the 13 day ordeal finally ended, I called to speak to a supervisor to tell them of my experience and was on hold for 1 hour 17 minutes (off and on while the rep was "trying" to find a supervisor for me. And then after 1 hour 17 minutes, I was told none were available and they'd have a supervisor "call me back" in an hour! Unreal! I have wasted SO many hours of my life on this ordeal. They should not get away with this kind of careless service (transferring someone's account to another) and the deplorable customer service on top of it. And to make it even worse, "Elliott" who had me on hold for an hour and 17 minutes today was rude to me! HE was rude to ME. What is going on here?

    They are seriously the worst. Their service is no such thing. There was no service there. Just a big stressor for me and for my parents and I'd strongly recommend anybody even remotely considering Comcast think again. You will encounter trouble with them at some point, and when you do, say goodbye to HOURS of your life and a lot more stress on your shoulders!!!

    Yes, Comcast is monopoly in the internet service provider industry. They don't really care about customer service. I tried to move my service to another location and having a very hard time dealing with one of the sale rep name Lauren. She too busy with her work and don't have time to return my phone call or reply to my email. I just need the update on my order, but it impossible to get the update from this sale rep. I have tried to change difference sale rep and tried to get the whole of the manager but all I got is the voice mail. And even if I leave the voice mail nobody bother to call me back. Many of their rep is nice, but some of them is the worst of the worst and you just have to deal with them. They are not there to make your life easier.

    I cancelled service due to extremely high bills. I called and cancelled over the phone and the customer rep stated that I had an almost $60 credit as they bill in advance. They also stated that if I return my equipment early that I would get an even bigger credit. I received a statement showing I had a $57 credit soon after I returned the equipment. A month later I was billed $157. I called to dispute the bill and the rep stated that I owed it and that was the last bill... again and again. I stated that I already received the last bill and that it was a credit. Today I received a collection letter for the $157. This is ridiculous and the worst company ever. Poor service, way overpriced, and crooks. Stay away from this company.

    I am here to tell you, DO NOT use Comcast Cable! They have absolutely the WORST customer service I have ever seen. My poor daughter is working on her Master's Degree in an accelerated program, and working full time. Because of scheduling she has to take this semester completely online. She has Comcast, just Wi-Fi, no cable, no phone. It costs her almost $100.00 a month for this. She is an A student, has many awards, holds 2 Bachelor degrees, in other words, she works damn hard. On Saturday, her cable went down. She called Comcast. Are you ready?

    They said they couldn’t get out to her till THURSDAY! When she explained to them she had papers due, research to do etc. they just said Thursday. When she called back crying and begging them, they said they would put in a ticket to move it up. When she called back to check on that, they told her they had no record of it and wouldn't be out till FRIDAY! Now, she is racing around town, trying to get Wi-Fi to get assignments in. They were about to cost her a fortune, as she was going to miss her school deadlines, lowering her GPA. I called Comcast yesterday, only speaking to a supervisor. The supervisor assured me she understood, as she was doing the same thing as my daughter (not the Master's degree though). She promised me they would be out there no later than this morning, but hopefully last night. Guess what, no word from them! I am so furious I don't even have words for it.

    Absolutely terrible customer service. Last Thursday I called about setting up cable and internet, and the only channel I cared about was the Velocity channel. The woman on the phone was great. She spent at least 10 minutes trying to find the cheapest package that included the channel I wanted. Today I finally got to setting up my box (never mind the fact they wanted to charge for someone to install it for me, so I opted for the self install kit). Finally got it figured out, after having to call Comcast because the cable and internet were both not working properly. Then I turn to the Velocity channel. It tells me "not authorized". So I call, again, and they transfer me to a service rep. The service rep tells me I have to upgrade to another $30 a month in order to get that channel, and wouldn't give me the price of the package I was originally told, which included the channel I wanted.

    Unfortunately the apartment complex that I'm in only has Comcast, otherwise I would have never got them to begin with, based on their customer satisfaction ratings. I work in retail as well, and when you tell someone a price and it ends up being different, for whatever circumstances, you fix it and make it the same price you had originally stated.

    Lots of reasonable complaints about Comcast. I'd like to be specific here: The new Comcast equipment, the Xfinity Modem/Router and the new X1 DVR/cable box are full of problems. Yes, the cable box has some nice new features like you can see sports scores at the same time as watching and there's a Pandora App to listen to. But watch out because setting up a new modem/router causes lots of problems like incompatibility with SONOS. The new DVR/cable box and new remote do not have same easy functions as my universal remote that I used just fine with the old Comcast DVR/cable box. Comcast phone support will not help you set-up your stereo system to your TV and DVR. What the heck? Don't most people have this?

    All the new equipment Comcast sent me has had problems. The first DVR/cable box and remote were defective. I spent hours trying to get them to work. Advice: the new DVR/cable box is pretty cool but if you have an universal remote and an attached stereo system, your new TV arrangement will not work the same as easily as before. DO NOT get the new Xfinity modem/router combo!

    UPDATED ON: There is a lot of blurry blackness on almost the bottom third of my TV screen when I change channels. I think it's meant to make seeing the title of the show you're about to watch more clear, but it's way overdone. There's way too much blurry black stuff. They could reduce it a lot so that you can see what's going on while you wait a rather long time for the channel to change and for the show title to go away.

    I called Comcast to make a payment arrangement for my account. I asked the agent to have the funds come out on the Friday. He gave me a confirmation number and assured me that I will not have any interruption with my services. On the Sunday my services (cable, internet and phone) were turned off. I called Comcast and the agent told me that my payment was cancelled and the agent should of called and told me so. The agent said I would have to make a new payment, so I did. On that Tuesday while checking my bank account I saw that two payments were taken out from Comcast. When I called Comcast and told them that they needed to refund one of the payments because I only authorized one they told me no. So I hung up and called back and that agent told me to send in my bank statement that shows Comcast took two payments. So I faxed that over.

    I called two days later to ask about the status and was once again told that they will not give me back my money. I called three more times and spoke with different agents who all told me that Comcast would not return my payment even though I was told the initial payment was cancelled. So I filed a claim with my bank who were able to get my money back from Comcast. Comcast was wrong and they did not care that their agent lied. I would not recommend Comcast to anyone. If there was another provider in my area I would switch. If I didn't have children I would just cancel all their services. Save yourself the headache.

    I am not a Comcast customer but I feel very bad for those who are nor would I EVER consider services with them. I ordered a copy of my credit report November of last year to find that someone had set up an account and services in my name with Comcast in Knoxville, Tennessee. I am a resident of California and have lived here my whole life. Never in my life have I ever been to Tennessee so how the account was set up is beside me but regardless I know these things happen so I made sure to follow all directions they gave me to take care of this matter.

    I filed a police report, waited for it to arrive in the mail, filled out a fraud packet sent to me by Comcast and submitted via fax and email. I called the next day to verify that it was received as well that the services at the address were disconnected. Comcast verified they would pull the account from collections as it is not a valid debt as well as disconnect services so that the account does not affect my credit in the future. I felt a little skeptical and the following week called Comcast to verify once again that the account set up in my name was closed. The person on the other end told me it was still open as well as that I am past due and need to make a payment immediately to avoid disconnection of services. Well... you can probably guess how upset I was now having to repeat the story and ask to have the account closed immediately once again.

    I eventually was transferred to a supervisor who stated they have no notes or documentation of the incident and offered to help if I could resend the fraud packet and copy of police report AGAIN and follow up in 24 hours. Well, what other choice did I have? We went back and forth on this for about a month because they kept saying they would close the account then I would call a couple days later to find out that it was still open. Finally after about 32 days, things were resolved and I verified that the account was closed, or so I thought until I ordered my credit report again this year to find that an account in Knoxville Tennessee (same address) has been sent again to collections.

    Again I am taking care of this mess and have been for the past 8 days. I've been transferred more times than I can keep track of and hung up on 3 times. And am now on the phone with them and have been on hold for the past 1hr and 3 min. I have been extremely cooperative with this company through this whole process as my credit is something that I really care about and take care of but I really wish there was another way. I am speaking with my lawyer to see what I can have done as this company continuously keeps allowing these people to open an account in my name knowing that it is fraud. At this point I feel helpless and am extremely crushed that I am having to deal with this problem year after year.

    False advertising. Incompetent employees. Almost nonexistent customer service. I recently moved from an area with Time Warner Cable to an area with only Comcast. I signed up online for a $39.99 promotion which included internet, local TV, and Showtime. I purchased a modem from Amazon to avoid the $10.00 monthly rental fee. I set up the modem and even though it showed it was connected I could not get internet on any of my devices. I spent around 3 hours on the phone with customer support trying to resolve the issue before I requested a technician to come out and look at it. When the tech arrived they indicated that the modem set up on the Comcast side was completely screwed up which is why I wasn't receiving service. We thought we had the issue resolved and so the tech left.

    When I went to do a project online I still did not have internet service. On the second visit the technician was unable to get my modem working and so I had to settle for having a Comcast modem installed instead. Meanwhile I had received my bill where I was being charged $54.99 instead of $39.99 and they were also billing me $10.00 for a modem rental when I not only declined the option during account set up but I also made it clear it was my own modem when I called in to activate the device through Comcast (this bill came before the Comcast modem was installed). I attempted to contact Comcast to have the billing issue fixed but I was tossed from one service rep to another with no resolution. After the sixth agent I spoke with transferred me back into the automated system I started out in I hung up defeated. I am currently looking into other options for internet service in my area.

But, the most infuriating complaint is that Comcast sends me e-mails stating, "Your bill is due in 15 days." "Your bill is due in 9 days." "Your bill is ready." And if I go to their web page, it has the amount of my bill in huge black letters.

It took one person holding the cable and the other person cutting the grass.

    I finally hired someone to do it because after working 12hrs daily I would be exhausted, I contacted the FCC, and Comcast corporate finally called and in my opinion did not grasp the seriousness of my complaint, and money I spent because of their negligence. The corporate personnel said, "Well we can't compensate you, but we can add a 15.00 credit for six months," (which only totals 90.00). He said, "Only after you pay to restore your service, though." I told him I paid my bill for months but this past month and a half I finally decided if they can not bury a simple cable, and take care of that issue why should I continue to give them money and they don't seem to care about the stress I've dealt with, trying to make sure my neighbors and I don't continue to argue about a unburied cable.

    I wasn't irate or anything because I thought Comcast would handle the situation right and be fair. At least take off a month bill or at least offer more than 90.00. Comcast had no sense of urgency about anything. I explained to him I ended up hiring someone to do the lawn and I paid the lawn care person 60.00 each time 4 months straight, in which I should not have been out of pocket for anything because they did not bury the cable, just shocked because I thought Comcast would be more considerate.

    A year ago I cancelled my service with Comcast because I was unhappy with their service. A week ago a salesperson from Comcast came to my door and offered us a really good deal, so we decided to give them another chance. I was scheduled to have cable installed on Friday evening between 4:30 and 6:30. At 7 a technician showed up and was at my house until 11 pm but said that he wasn't able to get everything installed properly and left. We were then told to call and schedule another appt., so that night we scheduled an appt for Saturday morning between 9:30 and 12:30. At 12:30 they still hasn't showed up so we called customer service and were told that someone would be at our house very soon.

    Over the next 5 hours we spoke to 8 different customer service agents asking when someone would arrive as we had wasted our entire Saturday waiting for them. At 5:30 I was told that there were no longer any technicians available and that I would have to wait until the next morning. I spoke with a manager and we set up another spot for Sunday morning. 5 minutes after I hung up the phone, the same technician that had been at my house Friday night, was knocking on my door. After 4 hours of him being there, I finally had cable, however, every cable was ran on the outside of my walls, up my staircases, and around my doors, leaving us unable to close our bedroom doors. We've called and complained and were told someone would call us back, and we've yet to hear back from anyone.

    So we're moving to a home we just built, from a rental property (less than 2 miles away) and called Comcast because moving your service is so easy with them right. The initial call was on Oct. 6th, after several more calls an appointment was finally scheduled (without our knowledge) for Friday, Oct. 23rd. After a few more calls and telling them that we're cancelling their service, they had a rep available immediately. We still ended our relationship with Comcast. We were fortunate in that we did not have a one or two year contract, otherwise we would have been stuck. So, the moral of the story is: If you do like Comcast (they do have positives), threaten to leave. You now become important again.

    We got Comcast four years ago and it's been nothing but trouble. Most days I would have to unplug everything because the Wi-Fi wasn't working. AGAIN not just once some days as many as five times. Then about a year ago we added the Wi-Fi and phone on their bundle deal for 109 a month. My first bill comes in and it's almost three hundred dollars so I give them a call. After speaking to three different people all of them telling me something different and getting nowhere I ask to speak to a supervisor. We finally come to an agreement about the overcharges all the while this woman is being rude and sounding like she is annoyed with having to deal with this.

    Three days later they shut my service off and wouldn't turn it back on until my bill was paid in full which I did. So I ended up paying the overcharges anyway. But wait my story gets better. The last few months we have been struggling financially and my bill was late. I called them to make arrangements to pay it at the end of the week. On Friday I didn't have enough money in the bank to pay the bill. I had to give them permission to pull a one time payment. In order to keep my service on. When it declined they called me and I told them I was sorry and I would just go to their location and pay it in cash and to not run my card again. This morning I check my account balance and I'm four hundred and fifty dollars overdraft. So I get my bill to give them a call and I realize that I have almost a hundred extra dollars added to my bill. Charges for adding two premium channels that we didn't add and didn't even know we had.

    So I get them on the phone and even though my bill has been paid in full. Which I think was done illegally. This woman is telling me that they won't fix their mistakes until my payment posts. So I'm back in the same boat as last time because when that payment does post they will have received the money they overcharged me and I can guarantee that I will never get back what they owe me. There should be some way to stop them from stealing from their customers and holding them criminally accountable for taking the money out of my account after I told them not to. I also think that because they did it without my permission they should have to pay the overdraft charges that I incurred because of their criminal activities

    I have had ongoing audio issues with my X1 cable box for months. I turn on my TV/cable box and 9 times out of 10 I have picture but no sound. Several technicians have tried to troubleshoot over the phone and my box has been replaced. The issue has continued for several months despite these efforts. On Monday, 10/12, I had a 45 minute call with a representative that was unable to resolve my issue and wanted to give me a 72 hour period in which a technician would be calling. I found this unacceptable given that this was about the 4th time I'd called about the same issue and asked to speak with a supervisor. I was promised that Bobby ** would be calling me back that night and I am still waiting on the call.

    I finally emailed customer service and received a call from Jozen. She did trouble shooting and then scheduled a technician to come to my home between 5:30-6:00 on 10/20. At 3:00 I received a call that a technician was at my home but no one was there. I called customer service and was told that my appointment was in fact between 3:00-5:00. I asked to speak with a supervisor and was passed off to Paolo who told me that there was no way a 5:30 appointment was possible and proposed someone come between 8-12 the following day. I declined as I had previously taken off work for technician visits. Paolo told me that I needed to be transferred to a different department but that he would fill them in on my issue to save time. I was transferred to Donna in the X1 department who had not been filled in at all. Donna was attempting to be helpful until our call became disconnected.

    I spent another 45 minutes on the phone, spoke with 3 representatives and still had no resolution. I have been paying for a service that I have been unable to use for months and all attempts to resolve the issue have been met with sub-par customer service. If you have the option, I would recommend using any other company you can find.

    I lost my job in August and called to disconnect my services. I told them I was aware there was going to be a balance on the account from the current month and I would not be able to pay it right away due to losing work. The rep said she understood and told me she unauthorized any payments to come out of that account and we made arrangements for my equipment to be returned. However, I have had TWO payments try to come out EVERY MONTH since then (it's now October) creating hundreds of dollars in returned item fees. Have called several times. Four times today actually. Every rep tells you a different answer on how the process works.

    The first one told me they didn't see any payments coming out at all (I can clearly see two returned items from Comcast on 10/09/15 and 10/16/15). The second rep told me she would submit a ticket and send me a confirmation email to take into my bank asking them to reverse the charges. The third was a very rude male who stated that's not the way things work and I would have dispute with bank because as long as there is a balance on the account and they have a bank account number they are authorized to take any payment they want, and when I asked to speak with a supervisor he hung up on me. The fourth has kept me on hold for the last twenty minutes BUT she's a lot nicer. Just kidding, she hung up on me too! On to the fifth rep... every time I get someone I think will be able to help me they put me on hold and then hang up. I'm beyond disappointed.

    I was a loyal customer, had this service for around two years, made payments on time, and then something bad happens to me and they do this... I will never use Comcast services again. EVER. This has been the worst experience. TERRIBLE SERVICE. TERRIBLE TRAINED REPS. THE INTERNET IS SLOW. Now they are telling me it was a payment made by check/phone and they are considering it fraud.

So I attempted to simply return the box so as to eliminate clutter. The rep. said that the only way to return the box was to raise my bill since the cable would have to be cancelled. Why couldn't I just return the box and you keep the service as is? WAIT, WHAT? All I wanted to do was return the cable box now so I wouldn't have to later, or potentially damage it accidentally or something.

    This is absolute proof that Comcast does NOT wish to provide what people actually want, but what THEY think they need to use to fulfill a pre-set price point. Internally, they seem to come up with a number, then do any and everything to attain this number by forcing packages onto people who do not want them. If I am not using a service, why, do I need to pay for it? How does the lack of one option magically make the other one cost more? To fulfill a pre-set $$$$ point.

Meanwhile I've paid for higher speed and whenever I've had a problem I'm more technically astute than their folks. Through all this, I've just sucked it up while they've offered better deals to new customers and basically had the I don't care about you (old customer) mindset.

    Today though was the final straw, we moved in July in the midst of their third? box change, I got charged for 7 tvs (I only have 4) and since nothing would work at the new address they offered to send out a technical gut AT NO CHARGE! When I checked the bill, they charged me $40 for the visit. I called to get it removed, they had the balls to tell me how much it costs them to send out a guy. Even the supervisor wouldn't remove it.

    I have had issues with Comcast in the past but unfortunately we had to have Comcast in our apartment complex. I decided to do the self-installation due to the hidden charges I have experienced in the past with installation. Self-install went fine except with two TVs. The third TV box wasn't working. I called and the tech told me that the box wasn't working so he would send me a new one. A week later when the box arrives, it doesn't work either. After spending 30 minutes on the phone, I am told that the outlets aren't activated. A technician would have to come out but it would be $39 to this service. Are you kidding me? To get the runaround and now to charge me again is ridiculous to me.

    I ask to speak to a supervisor only to be told "Sorry there is nothing that could be done." There was no manager that I could speak to as well. So congratulations to the supervisor as she must be the CEO of Comcast. Good for her! She didn't care how inconvenienced I was but if I wanted my son to have TV, I would have to pay the fee. To add salt to the wound, I have to wait a week for this technician. There was no apology - nothing. Thank goodness I didn't sign a contract with these people. My advice for their new customers is that Comcast will eventually get the original $79 out of you for a new installation. Don't waste your time and just pay the fee.

    Here is my experience with Comcast that I had last night. 8 months ago we increased our internet speed to 100mbps. This was an additional $15/month. By using Xfinity speed test we found that our service was actually running at 25mbps. We logged on to our account, started an online chat to obtain service and a refund for the speed we did not receive. As you can imagine, they will fight tooth and nail to avoid anything to do with "refund."

    I asked our rep to make sure I could fill out an online survey after our session ended. She said no problem. As I was filling out the survey we noticed a spike in our internet service. 3 computers went offline for a brief moment and then reset. I'm sure you can all guess why that happened. The rep who said "no problem" to my request had or has a way of resetting your internet service from their workplace. She knew I was going to leave bad feedback so she reset our service and that ensured that my survey would not be able to be completed. The only way to accomplish it would be to log in again, and that would mean another rep, leaving her with no survey attached to her ID.

    I have experienced this before but I didn't make the connection until it happened twice. I did get back online and chatted with a supervisor who I asked if she knew about this practice. She gave me the old Comcast "we strive to serve our customers in the most respectable way yada yada." You can bet she knew about this practice and if you step back and see a bigger picture here, Comcast themselves must approve, on some level, of this behavior. It is in their best interest to document as much good feedback as possible and avoid/negate the negative feedback. I took a screen shot of this encounter and will be filing/forwarding it to the Oregon State Attorney General and the BBB. If none of us step up with a little leg work to stop this, it will just stay the same.

    My bill is so high, it is literally another house payment. I agreed for service in the amount of 159.99 every month with 10 dollars extra for other small cable boxes. We probably rent anywhere from 40 to 100 dollars in movies throughout the month (some are to buy that's why it is a high amount). I could not figure out why my bill was 800 dollars. Finally, I went into my local Comcast and had the manager literally walk me through charge by charge and payment by payment. Came to the conclusion that COMCAST bills you a month, sometimes a month and half ahead of time. So, I just called to find out how much I need to pay on Thursday. I must pay 385 for prior bill which I pay 380 dollars in Sept, but the bill was 765 so 385 carried over to this bill.

    I am so confused on why it is that high in the first place. They seem to dance around it when I am trying to understand. I can't pay that kind of money for Cable. That's insane. So I always just pay my past due. I am tired of not having a real reason as to why it is so extremely high. Anyways, so I have 385 due Thursday, then October's bill of 392 due on the 19th, THEN a new bill comes to me on the 24th (which is for Nov 3rd thru Dec. 4th). Why is the hell am I already being billed for months we aren't even in yet?

    They say, "It's for your convenience so you have it in advance and that's how the systems works." Well, I say it's because they want your balance to be high so your min. due is high which makes your past due high and most people can't pay that kind of money so they then get shut off and Comcast now get reactivation fees and late fees. I am appalled at them. I have gone through Comcast for about 15 yrs and they have become such scum. I am shocked. I wanted to write a review to inform people if they are struggling with their bill and can't understand why it is so high and where these fees are coming from, it is because they bill you for months that we aren't in yet!

    Transferring my service from another state to Florida was a nightmare. The billing department kept flagging my account here with no warning and no explanation, so my new account here kept getting cancelled FOUR times. My credit card was expired so my previous bill did not get paid by the due date. My bill was always on time due to automatic payment set up. I had to call 4 times and was transfered all over the place in their automatic system. One night, I was on the phone trying to find out the reason my service kept being cancelled in Florida from the other state, which turned out to be a three hour endeavor.

    NOTE: When you transfer service from across the country, you have to STOP service in one region and THEN set up a new account in the other. There is no "transfer of services." Finally, I demanded to talk to a supervisor whom then called me back about an hour later and left a voicemail stating that my service was shut off here because I did not return my cable boxes (lol). Apparently, she did not read the history on my account and merely guessed for the reason that my service was being flagged. Finally, on probably the 4th call, I got a hold of someone who figured out my problem. I gave her the updated credit card information and the problem was solved in two minutes.

    My biggest complaints in this situation are: 1) 1/2 hour wait and hold times in the evening to talk to someone, 2) Customer service agents transferring you to other incorrect areas of their automated system, 3. Customer service agents whom do not call you back should you get disconnected, therefore forcing you to go through their endless maze of automated systems, 4) Comcast does a great job of making sure that it is difficult to talk to a human, and 5) Calls get routed overseas to agents who are very hard to understand. These agents read from a script and do not really understand the problem half the time.

    The ONLY reason I have Comcast is that I'm stuck with them. Apparently, they pay large upfront money to apartment community owners so they can have to sole contract on the property. I wish Verizon Wireless would buy them out and train their employees on how to conduct great customer service. Verizon is expensive, however, I do not mind good money for great customer service. Comcast you are way to expensive for the horrible customer service you provide. I'd cancel my service today if I was not stuck with it.

    Hello. On the 1 of October I've opened an account for an address that I suppose to move in, wasn't able to move in because of The rental apartment leasing office, instead they moved me to an different address. I've called Customer service Comcast and explain situation. Instead of making an transfer, they did a new Hard credit Inquiry for an new application. Consequently my credit score, decreased from Excellent with 5 pct . Also the operator told me I will have one certain package taking me to an total price with all taxes and fees for devices at close to 60$. I received emails which it shows a total close to 75$.

    Comcast is price gouging. They are consistently tell you misleading information from representative to the next. They are not keeping their end of the bargain and are very deceitful. They tell customers your bill will be one price and when you get it it's another ridiculous price with all kinds of charges. They tell customers you are getting a bundle package and yet they charge separate fees including late fees to each service. So is a bundle or not? Most importantly I'm most upset about feeling hopeless when one calls customer service. I mean are they noting the information on the computer? It's not fair, especially if one must commit to a 2-year contract but they are not meeting their customer obligations! I was told my bill would be $109.00 per month including taxes. On the average my bill is anywhere from $122-166 per month. I don't get it!

    Comcast is the most awful "company" you could ever deal with. They are liars and unhelpful. Every time I call I get a different answer to the same question. Every time you call them, you "somehow" get disconnected multiple times. Comcast is a horrible monopoly and doesn't value its customers.

    My husband and I ordered Comcast because Comcast said they were in our area. Sweet, awesome. The tech gets here 2 days later on time for the appointment. The tech looks right at me and says, "We can't hook up your internet and TV because you are not in our area." At first I was like, "What?" Then he explained that it's 3 doors down but not at my home. So I looked at him and I said, “I know it's not your fault but cancel it and I don't want to be charged. If we are, we are going to sue for false advertising.” He said we won't be so we will have to see. My advice, go to a retailer and not through online and set everything on paper saying yes they are at your home and go from there.

They wouldn't lower the speed cost to match the speed of internet that we actually got and lied twice saying we were getting the faster speed. They refuse to do anything but try and sell me a more expensive and a contract. I don't want either and they don't listen. I have never used another company but they have single-handedly priced me out of their services. I have no choice but to go to a competitor and the person on the phone wished me well.

Two weeks later and approximately 11 hours of phone time (no kidding) only our hd channel situation was resolved.

    AI was called by a customer service representative in July 2015, stating that she would lower my bill to $79 per month to prevent me from cancelling my service with Comcast/Xfinity. My current bill is $129 monthly. I accepted the offer, and accepted the verbal disclaimer the Xfinity representative read me over the phone, to confirm that I understood the terms and conditions of the offer. Two weeks later I received a call stating that my account was being disconnected. I phoned Xfinity, and they advised me to send an email to the escalation department. I spoke to a lady by the name of Janeary at **. She advised that she would try to help me. We played phone tag due to I work during the day. I asked her to leave me a message if she was able to help. She never returned my call advising she was able to reverse the error and honor the billing quote I was quoted.

    I want $258 refunded on this bill, as I had to pay that to get my Cable/Internet service back on. When I accepted Xfinity $79 offer from the initial representative, I cancelled the setup appointment with Direct TV. I am upset. I cannot afford this monthly payment, nor can I afford the $258 I paid to have this service turned back on.

No offense, but I don't want to have translate an Indian dialect every time I call. They even know it's a problem because they refer me to the website for all my customer service needs :-). So because of these things, I cut the cable service off. Next will be the Internet, phone, and so on. I'm tired of paying for channels I don't watch. Comcast start thinking a la carte.

    About a month ago, there was a thunderstorm which brought down a large limb from my neighbor's tree. It landed across the Comcast line, which caused it to droop across my front yard, about 2 feet from the ground. It took 2 weeks to get someone to come take care of it. They managed to raise it from 2 feet from the ground to about 4 feet. Another week of calls to the lovely electronic menu, which doesn't have an option for "line repair." I don't remember how I finally managed to connect to a human being, but I did. She was young, and English was her second language. I felt sorry for her. I felt more sorry for me, and my 90-year old neighbor, whose driveway was blocked by the same drooping wire as my front yard was blocked with.

    She asked me for my account number. I don't have an account. I have DirecTV and an ordinary (uber-reliable compared to everything else) landline telephone. It was the line from the telephone pole to my neighbor's account. She didn't know what to do if she couldn't get an account number. I simply could not believe I couldn't get someone to come out and take care of a damaged Comcast line whether the complainant had a Comcast account or not. I had to resort to anger with her, and it wasn't fair because I'm absolutely positive she was doing what she had been trained to do.

    Somehow, between my neighbor and I calling and calling and calling, we got a commitment for "next Tuesday." Nobody came. We went through the same rigmarole for another week. Someone came out. He looked like a high school kid and he fiddled around and managed to reattach the line nice and high, like it was before the storm.

    Another week and it was down again. No storm, no wind, it just fell down, and this time, it has my 90-year old neighbor's driveway blocked. She's basically trapped in her house. I just took her to the grocery store. There's no telling how many times, between the 2 of us, we've called Comcast to take care of this. If we ever do get through the most maddening electronic menu in the business, to a human being, they promise they'll handle it, we hang up, and we are once again at the mercy of that individual person, who probably lives hundreds, maybe thousands of miles away so there's no earthly way to follow up with them.

    This is outrageous. I wish there was a stronger word. Comcast is an obscenely rich corporation. They can afford to service their lines promptly, and they should be receptive to ANYONE'S call to them to report that their lines are down. They don't need account numbers to service their lines. They need the address of the damaged line. Period. They need to have an option on their "all we care about it selling you our exorbitantly priced products and once we've got your money we don't give a rat's ass if something goes wrong" electronic telephone menu. And the worst -- the absolute worst part about dealing with Comcast is they have a total monopoly. If you want cable service, you will deal with Comcast or you will do without it.

    What happened to the Sherman Anti-Trust law? How did this happen? How is it possible that we have no alternative? Time was when a consumer service performed as badly as Comcast does, you could take your business elsewhere. There is no elsewhere. It's the beginning and the end of why they get away with what they get away with. I feel a little bit better now that I've vented, but it won't last. My neighbor is threatening to take some pruning shears to the line, still draped across my yard and her driveway from a storm that happened a month ago, so she can get her car out of the driveway. I talked her out of it. God knows why.

    No 1. I had my internet connection issues, it disconnected every afternoon and I called Comcast customer service many times and they never solve the problem. Finally the technician said they would send a person to my home to fix it, then I asked if they will charge me for in home visit and answer is no. Then the technician came to my home and replace a cable line outside my home since it was too old and those lines for other users are relatively new, so he believes that caused the connection issue.

    Meanwhile, the technician changed a cable line in my home also because he is not sure if the indoor line works well. Then I receive a $70 charge on this one month later. I called to customer service and told them the whole story, but they still on insisting charging me for at least $35. They said because the technician replaced the indoor cable line. I told them the technician never told me this would be charged for $70 or he is not sure it was needed to change. So it is very possible that the technician hide the billing information and did the indoor line change intentionally for charging me $70.

    No 2. in last year, still with disconnection issue on my internet and still the technician cannot solve the problem. Then they told me to bring my own modem to the local service center and use it to change a Comcast modem for free. Then I did and gave them my modem and got one from them and used it. Last month, I received a letter from Comcast and said I need to pay them $10 modem rental fees. I called them 3 weeks ago and they told me today that I was not supposed to do it and need to pay the rental fee. I asked where is my modem they said they only care their modem. What a terrible service!!! The Comcast service asked to local store to find my old modem, I am in GA now and the store is in IL. Why not say this 3 weeks ago when I was in IL?

I was finally able to get two months worth of bill credits. I was fine and happier. Then beginning of October I get a full hill again.

    I call to see what happened and they're saying they have no record of it. After 30 minutes on the phone with the agent she tells me, "Oh there's a ticket open to look at it." That was a month ago. They take their sweet time when it comes to my money but when it's theirs, they can call collections agencies when I try not to pay because of their issues. That's not fair.

    NOTE: Every month I've been with Comcast my bill has been wrong. In November 2014 I bought my own modem and sent 3 boxes back. [They sent me 2 extra ones despite never asking for them.] 6 months later my bill is $275. I ask them why - they didn't contact me sooner if they never received the boxes. After a month they decided to credit me the $275 back. The last year and a half I was being overcharged by Comcast for internet, my rate for internet service was suppose to be $30 a month, but every month I would get charged $48. So I decided to file a complaint with the FFC/Better Business Bureau. [ANYONE WHO HASNT DONE THIS, DO THIS.]

    June 2015, I was contacted by a customer relations rep and he said I would be credited $300.00 for the overcharge and inconvenience since I was all paid up and the rest of the year was paid for. I didn't bother logging on until September 2015 when I received a letter saying my service would be disconnected I log into my account and find out they took the credit away and I owe them $200. I tried talking to reps and was told because it was never put in the notes that it wasn't credited. I asked them as a loyal customer who pays their bill early every month, who's had so much problem with them if I could get the credit and what do you know - I was denied.

    The company's system is outdated. They don't communicate with each other. They basically have reps who they probably pay minimum wage who can screw you over anytime because there's no records so if they don't do their job it's not their problem if your bills messed up. They say they have limited power which is a lie. If you keep calling and get a different rep that actually knows what they're doing, you can get somewhere. As of now my internet is disconnected which I need for work because I refuse to pay the $200 so I suggest anyone who has other options to not feed this greedy monopoly - they need to receive huge fines for all the money they extorted from people so enjoy the 1 star Comcast, you earned it.

    So my husband and I first got Comcast at our place in Fort Wayne. We got a TV and Internet bundle with X1 and we liked it well enough. We did the self install because we didn't want to pay extra for install and I'm pretty good with these sort of things and it was working soon with no issues. Our only problem was that when we moved, we called, asked for service to be cut off on a very specific date because we wanted our Internet until the day we left. I turned in the cable box (we had our own modem that we didn't need to turn in) four days early and they ended up terminating our service automatically on that day without any notification. Not the biggest deal but not good customer service to be sure.

    Fast forward to our move back to CA. We didn't really want to go with Comcast again but unfortunately they were one of the only service providers of high speed Internet at our rental. So we called and got a lady with a very heavy Indian accent in a very loud call center who could barely hear us and had to ask for our information several times. She stuck to her script and kept trying to sell us the same deal which was way more than we wanted. It was so frustrating to get her to understand or answer any of our questions so I just hung up.

    My husband called later again that day and of course he got a nice guy who sounded like he was from Ohio. They talked for a bit and decided on a internet and TV with X1 deal. So a couple days later our stuff arrives and I get it set up and ready to go for activation. Already I see they gave us a regular cable box and not the X1 which I was familiar with because we had it before. So I call and try to activate. They activate the cable box but not the Internet. We don't have any Internet signal or cable signal to the TV even after activation. I go around to all the different cable outlets in my house to see if my modem can pick up a signal anywhere and it can't. So later that day I call again and schedule for a tech to come out and take a look at the wiring.

    The lady tells us that a tech will come the following Friday at 8:15 with a window up till 10am. Okay great. I ask what it will cost and she says generally installation costs $50 but if it's a problem with the Comcast side of the system, it will be free. She also told me that any visit within 30 days of signing up will be automatically coded as an installation. This bit of information turned out to be such a hassle because after that, everytime I called back, they wanted to talk about my installation instead of the fact that I was fully installed but had no cable service what so ever. My husband gets home later and I tell him about how they sent us the wrong cable box. He really doesn't like that so he calls and get transferred four times because no one knows what's going on.

    He eventually gets a fifth gut that helps him and he asks what it would be to "upgrade" to X1 and, surprise, it doesn't cost anything because that's what we were supposed to have in the first place. This particular guy seemed pretty helpful but not so much in the end. He confirms our Friday appointment and leaves two notes on the work order, one, that the tech is supposed to leave an X1 box and remote with us, and two, if they charge us for the visit, he will remove the charge from our account. So at that point we were somewhat appeased.

    Fast forward to Friday when our appointment is supposed to happen. 8:15 comes and goes, okay cable guys are usually late. 10am comes and goes. So I call at around 10:30 to check on the status of the tech. Some girl asks me for all my account information, sees that I had an appointment scheduled and then puts me on hold to go "check" on the tech's status. I'm on hold for a few minutes and then all of the sudden a completely different guy answers the phone with no information about why I called so I have to do the whole process over again. He puts me on hold to go check on it for me and this time he is on the line again after a few minutes. He sounds very confused and says something was wrong with my work order and the system automatically canceled the appointment.

    Of course the system didn't call to inform me of this information. I rescheduled an appointment with him for the next Tuesday at 4 pm which he confirmed with me a few times on the phone. I was pretty upset at this point so I called my husband and told him, and he said to call back and cancel our order and just do a minimal Internet deal instead. So I called back and talked to someone and asked for the $20 they promise to customers. He put me on hold for a bit then came back on and that billing had given me the $20 credit and I could view it online as well. I then tried to confirm my appointment for the following Tuesday with him because I wanted to be sure it was still in place even though I was changing my order. He then told me my appointment was on Wednesday at 10 not Tuesday at 4.

    I had no idea why it magically changed within 20 minutes and I tried to clarify with the guy, but he had a thick accent and barely understood me anyway, so I gave up. Later that night my husband called to cancel our order and just get Internet. They gave him the run around, transferred him to three different people, claimed we had no $20 credit on record and then proceeded to tell us after canceling that a smaller Internet package was going to cost us more than our original deal because we were no longer "new" customers in the area. And this was before we had any service and before our billing period had even started.

    So my husband told them that this was the worst service he'd ever had and we were never going to be Comcast customers again. We canceled our order completely and we just have to return the cable box. We are currently getting slower Internet from a local company for a decent price and they have excellent service and we are relieved we don't have to deal with this awful company anymore!

I asked if we would be able to keep it in the package. She offered us for free for the 2 years like our original package. She asked a supervisor and said yes we could. So we went with the new package. After installing the new boxes calling 4 times they won't give me HBO for 2 years frees. Only 6 months. So the representative lied to make a sale. Don't fall for their packages if they sound too good to be true.

    I recently signed up with Comcast for a package of $61.63 special 50 meg internet and TV starter. I was told when I picked up the equipment that the bill will not change. Two months later, my bill is showing $100.00+. I called and went through a stupid automated system. Finally talked to an agent that told me that my billing cycle changed to the 10th of the month instead of the 16th (day that I called for service). She said that she will take charges off but I had to pay upfront and will be credited later. A month after, same thing. I called again and was told that I should pay by the first of every month. I should still pay upfront and will be credited later. The only thing is this time is partial credit and my bill went up from $61.63 to $63.52.

    I am monitoring this because the same thing happened before with a bill hitting the $200.00 mark by the end of the contract. On one hand you have the cancellation fee if they piss you off, on the other hand you have your credit to worry about. Worse part comes with agent Dante profiling my account thinking that I want to beg for something. Today is the 30th and I am about to make a payment but yet still have to pay more than I was told. A contract is a contract and you cannot go around changing it whenever you feel like it to get more money from people that don't have time to look at their bill and put all their trust in a company like this and get ripped off.

    First, we have been a customer for over 35 years. I called to see why our bill went up from $208 to $230 recently. Here is the reason, because I cancelled HBO and other movie channels plus $3 for a box we have not used for four years, we have to pay more. But if we take this offer for two years that includes a phone, we only pay $200. I want the Internet and TV but no phone. I tried to get a phone more than 6 years ago but they said we are not a customer so we had to go to one of their stores. I would not do that because we were a customer. So I vowed I would never get a phone from Comcast. So they said today that if we did not get a phone we would have to pay more. Does this make sense? I wish we had an alternative. We cannot have satellite dishes at our condos outside. So is their another company we could go to?

    Comcast is very bad. Have a close watch on your monthly bills otherwise they eat you up. These people promise one on the phone and you won't see anything happening on your bill. I would say record all the conversations that they are telling you. This is what happened- I had to pay extra for my last four months bill and I had to call Comcast, fought with them to get my bill adjusted. They promised that they would adjust coming month... and guess what happened today... they did not adjust that. I called up Comcast again and the new agent who is speaking to me telling me that he won't do that. Totally frustrated. I asked him to connect to supervisor and supervisors are the worst. They are not customer friendly at all. After fighting all this, they are doing only partial adjustment. I can't understand why are they not loyal to the customers...This is my money and I have to fight to get it back? Totally nonsense.

    I have had so many recurring problems regarding my services for months and I am so tired of being on the phone for hours with people who barely understand English! Clearly your customer service department is broken. Additionally, it is false advertising to promise one thing on TV ads and fail to provide that which was promised. For several months (maybe 6 or more) I have had an incredibly slow internet and many times NO internet, pixelated viewing of TV and recorded shows as well as downloaded movies. Often times the phone service has static so I wind up using my cell.

    I don't like paying $170 monthly for services I can't use. Then to be told I cannot receive credit until the problem is diagnosed and resolved is ludicrous. I work 6 days a week and upwards of 50 hrs. per week so I do not have a lot of free time to be on the phone with Comcast! I have scheduled 2 appointments with Comcast to come out and diagnose/fix problems. The first time, no one called and no one showed up. I waited all day of course. The following month I managed to get a $25 credit and rescheduled. This time I gave them my cell # and asked that they call me on that since my phone service is unreliable.. However, they called on my home phone and left a message!!

    When I called to complain, the tech was unable to assist me (didn't speak Eng.), and left me on hold when I asked for a Supervisor for a good 15 min. and finally they disconnected me. I called back and asked for a supervisor and was left on hold for 40 MINUTES!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! When asked if I want a follow up call, I always select yes. Ironically, when you receive the follow up prerecorded call you are caught in a circular process which continues to ask if you are the person who called and no matter how many times you select yes the recording continues to ask "are you the person". This is standard so this follow up service is also a farce! Is there anyone at Comcast who cares whether or not I switch companies???

My changing our service we ended up in another 2-year contract. I have been with Comcast for forever, a loyal customer. I called to tell them we were moving and they said Comcast is not offered where we were moving to.

    I am in another contract but their services are not offered where we are moving to so I just need to send in my lease or electric bill with our new address and that ends the contract. Not with Comcast, they will put your services on hold for $15 a month and if you moved somewhere with their services you could transfer and pay a re-connection fee and start your contract all over again but if you move to an area that they don't service, you are screwed. You will have to pay their early termination fee which for us is 16 months of a monthly fee. I will NEVER chose Comcast again. They don't care about their customers, just their money.

    Well, what people have told me about Comcast has turned-out to be true for me. For the record, I had Comcast many years ago and had them for over 30 years and they were fine. NOW, they are terrible! My situation - I signed up for internet service. Well, I got it and they double billed me right from the get-go. It took a lot of complaining and wrangling to get it taken care of. They never did admit fault, just the bill was changed. They charged me for inside tech work when none was done. I installed my OWN router and modem. They only hooked up the outside pole which the tech said would not cost me a dime.

    Well, onward - so I get my first bill. Paid it and everything was fine. Then, NO other bills came. I didn't know when I had to pay as they said my first bill would be different than the ones that came after. I GOT NONE after! I just went into their office and paid or sent money to the main office. So far, so good. OH, I did tell them at their office in Lancaster (by target) that I wasn't getting my bill and wasn't sure when to pay and so forth. I asked if they could simply send me reminders at least to my email. Nothing changed. Well, this month (Sept) I see online on their site that I was late in payment and they were demanding that I send in TWO full months payment. I called the office and they said they already dunned me at the bill collection agency and it would be on my record. I went ballistic as I try very hard to pay all my bills on time or ahead of time to keep up credit ratings.

    They basically told me too bad, nothing they could do about it. I mean they don't send me a bill so I don't know what day it is due. I have to guess then they burn me with a credit agency for being 2 days late. Yeah, I did put the 40 bucks in their door that very night of the 18th and left them a note which said if they were going to burn me on my credit for being 2 days late when they failed to send me a bill then I wanted my service cut. I was hoping they would try to reason and allow me to pay for service and work things out. Silly me. They came around with NO notice and cut my service. I think 2 days later. No time wasted.

    Now, the last thing I need is my service cut as I depend on that internet for my telephone (obihai voip) and my TV (roku). And, I am basically homeless as I was recently released from the hospital after a serious auto accident in which my entire left side was crushed and I NARROWLY escaped death. In the hospital I laid for days because I was so bad off. They could not operate on me at all. Well, I pulled through and now I am able to get around a bit but still lay a lot and the TV and internet (as I use a portable keyboard with my lcd screen) are about all I have. I lost my house and all my savings over the accident and I DID have insurance (it doesn't cover all) and I'm looking at disability if I can make it for the requisite 1 or 2 years to get it with no money on hand. I have nothing anymore basically and now I don't even have a phone or internet or TV either!

    I'm not asking for pity from Comcast just a bit of empathy and consideration. So now I have paid for end of Sept or whenever the due date was 'till the same in October and I have NO service at all. I'm sure I will never see that money owed me either. I don't feel it is my fault. They could not send me notification of my payments in any way shape or form. I have 3 email addresses and I gave them ALL three. I sent them email after email and NOT one was answered. There is ZERO communication from Comcast. NONE. ZERO. Just a big ** to me the consumer.

    They don't need us consumers nor do they care. I don't know what we can do but I think it might be best if all of us contact the FCC about their practices even though they control them with their money. Maybe even your congressman especially on matters of net neutrality and fairness when it comes to the consumer and Comcast's actions. In time they should demand that there be TWO GOOD providers in any area to choose from. At least file with BBB. Also contact GOOGLE and beg of them to come to your area. I know I will. It has been shown when Google brings their fiber to a city Comcast drops their pricing and predatory actions against consumers by a wide margin.

    What is needed IS competition for Comcast has none and has NO reason to treat people with dignity or respect or even fairness. I am VERY angry with them and if YOU are as well, write the FCC and so forth. Do something about it. If enough people do something will change! And, thank you for listening to my whine :)

    I'd been getting just basic 1- computer cable internet service from Comcast, (no bundle, no phone, no TV sets) from Comcast for a couple of years. Their service was always spotty but in general the times they would throttle my internet connectivity weren't frequent or long in duration so I tolerated some of that. December last year however, they jacked my price a few dollars a month without prior notice but I had noticed that they seemed to be getting worse about throttling my bandwidth usage. W.O.W. had just wired my apartment complex so I decided to go with them. I called up Comcast on Jan. 14, 2015 to cancel Comcast, and on Jan. 15 I drove to the Dearborn business office and returned the one wi-fi modem I had from them and repeated to the counter person that I was cancelling my service effective immediately.

    The lady gave me a printed receipt which said nothing about cancellation fee or any other charge or refund for equipment, but contained the curious nondescript phrase "picked-up/returned boxes". In hindsight I can see that they ambiguously worded this as if both might be true and therefore they could try to blame me for not "formally" going through some rigmarole cancellation process to get out from continuing to be billed.

    Repeated calls through computer menu driven cyber-hell produced a couple of people who never put a stop to the false billing scam and when it reached $260.00 or so (on a $48.00 a month service - really?) a collection agency who bought into the bogus debt and just stopped dunning me with phone calls has of course screwed my credit (which I actually don't even have) and so gave my auto insurance here in business-friendly Michigan all the excuse they needed to raise my rate. So into battle I'll go faxing the bank statements of my payment history and the worthless receipt I got from Comcast to the Credit reporting agencies. Those people ought to be prohibited from posting anything against anybody's credit until they can demonstrate that they are coming with clean hands.

    I feel as if I am being the victim of extortion by Comcast. They turned off my services, a few days ago, and claimed the reason was due to a check I had that supposedly "bounced". I was able to PROVE that check never bounced, and Comcast never submitted the check to the bank for payment. Since the check was never submitted for payment it stands to reason the check could not possibly bounce as they claimed. The only way I was able to have my services restored, and avoid being turned over to a collection agency, was to agree to pay Comcast a $30 fee for the "mysterious" bounced check.

    After my services were restored, I was then informed I still owed a payment from last July. Once again I have bank statements showing the PROOF that payment was made in full on time last July. I also have a copy of the e-mail, from Comcast, CONFIRMING the payment of EVERY payment I have ever made. I have proof every payment has been made every month, but Comcast still threatens to turn off my service if I don't pay whatever they decide to falsely claim is owed to them. It doesn't matter I have bank statements showing the checks to Comcast have all been cleared by the bank. I have to pay or I will end up suffering the consequences of having to honor the 2 year contract agreement in spite of my services being terminated. That sounds an awful lot like EXTORTION.

    I had Comcast for a number of years. I most recently switched from Comcast but my experience was bad enough to NEVER use them again! Number one, the internet and wifi services are the WORST I've ever had to deal with. It got so bad for a while that my wifi would cut out every 5-10 minutes and it was impossible to get anything done. My router was a bust and sometimes wouldn't turn back on after resetting it. The customer service is a joke as well, they wouldn't help you fix any problem and when they would finally send someone to the house to help, it took them HOURS to show up, they expect you to wait all day for them to decide to show up!

    Another thing that caused headaches and issues was the fact that they seemed to conveniently "lose" or "mess up" our payments and claim we did not pay them on time or at all and they would shut off our service to everything when there is clear proof we paid and they only saw this after going through numerous steps and making them look up our account. They even tried to double charge us once! The setup of On Demand changed dramatically with Xfinity as well and not for the better, everything seemed very disorganized and hard to navigate. Overall, just avoid Comcast altogether!

    Two months ago I contacted the collection agency that Comcast had sent my debt to and paid the balance. They put in incorrect information that led to my paying on an account that was already paid and closed - this caused me to have a credit on this closed account. So, instead of putting the money in the right place, they issue a check to the wrong address (again going on info from the old account) and they do so without contacting me to let me know.

    I called today to find out why this is still being reported on my credit report and that is when I was told that I still had this balance. I had to first deal with some chick who couldn't understand, it took like 10 mins for her to find my account. Then once I was transferred to collections, I was faced with one of the most annoyingly condescending voices that I have ever heard. She then tells me that they have to do an inquiry on the check to see if it was cashed, then issue another, and then I must call back and make another payment - presumably to another equally incompetent staff member.

    I hate Comcast! If I am not getting charged for purchases that I never made (while I was on vacation), then I am being sabotaged when trying to close the account completely. I am moving to AT&T.

He then informed me that I didn't turn my equipment in and I was still going to be charged for service. We argued back and forth for a while, then he informed me that he didn't care if I did turn it in or not, he was going to make sure I was being charged for services anyways.

    I then informed him I was at work and needed to get off the phone so I hung up. This guy then proceeds to call me back 4 times in a row threatening me telling me he will make sure I am charged for me to only hang up on him each time. I then go, get online to report this to Comcast for Rex to tell me that my account now has a 0 balance and that the guy I talked to didn't update my account with his Id so he is not sure who it was. So thinking I have a 0 balance now I go on with my week to only get a call today again from the one and only Brennan to tell me I had a contract I had to pay to terminate. But only could not provide me with a signed contract because I never signed one. This guy then starts to be a complete jerk so I tell him once again, "Do not call me.

Erroneously sent technician(s) out when not needed. All we needed was a new box that actually worked. It takes 30 seconds to plug the cords into a new box. Xfinity billed for both technician's. After calling them about bill, we're told would credit $79.09 on next month's bill for that plus 10 days loss of service. Received next bill, no credit applied. I call back, round and round on phone just to finally be told would credit $39.95 (best they could do).

    Prior customer service rep assured me there would be record of our conversation and that if I need to call in future any Rep would be able to pull up info and see what had transpired. Not True!

And plus no one knew how to speak to customers and that is why you are losing people and money.

    Looking for Comcast Specials, Discounts and Promotions? Think again. I signed up for service and it never worked. Comcast couldn't even find my account so they told me there was nothing to cancel. They ended up keeping my deposit and reporting me to collections. I spoke to more than 15 people in the executive offices at Comcast, each one lying to me saying that I would be contacted by the end of the day.

    They have no shame about lying to customers. They also claim I owe them about $225. I never had the equipment up and running, not one show and zero internet. They're in bed with the justice department and the head of their company golfs with Obama. The Republicans are no better, they are paid off also. Americans need to wake up and vote these losers out.

    This might be my second or third negative review. My broadband speed decreased markedly; even the customer service representative on the phone was surprised. She talked me into a better deal with faster download speeds, but also scheduled a home visit by a technician, with the usual provision that if some marked decrease in speed was my fault, I would have to pay for the visit. The technician discovered that a splitter - installed not by me but by another Comcast technician years ago - as well as some recalibration had resulted in the decrease in speed. He fixed the problem. And, of course, Comcast charged me for the visit. When I called to complain, rather than remove the charge, Comcast issued me a credit that won't appear on my bill for another 4-6 weeks. Good thing I stopped their automatic payments.

    I find Comcast to be one of the most dishonest companies I have ever had the misfortune with which to deal. Twice in the past ten years someone - not me! - has "ordered" cable TV at my house (and I live alone without a television set). If there were an alternative service, I would get it. If free market competition is not viable to this increasingly necessary service, then I wish the state or federal government would take it over; Comcast is just corrupt.

    Our small business has used Comcast for several years until this past summer when we started dealing with Brad ** as our Comcast Service Manager. When we looked at our bill, we discovered that Brad ** has signed us up for services and plans we never ordered or had a discussion about. It took several weeks for us to undo what Brad ** has done to our business. We have been with Sprint for about a month and am very happy with the transition process.

    I have been a dutiful subscriber to Comcast/Xfinity for years. For a long time, I never felt the need to switch to DirecTV or other satellite providers because my service was solid (but always embarrassingly expensive). Especially my internet/Wi-fi speed. In the past few years, my rates have gone up & my service has diminished. Should I want to watch an "on demand show" on Friday or Saturday night, suddenly the service isn't working & I am told to try later. Should I want to surf the net of Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday day, I get the "wheel of death" on my device. Just spinning & never loading my content. It's a little insulting to have my bill increase every 3-6 months and get less service as a result.

    Don't even ask me or any other Comcast/Xfinity customer about calling in about service outages or pointless increasing price issues. It is an exercise in futility with someone in an Indian call center who is paid to say "no". And really don't ask me about how Comcast is repeatedly harassing me via mail to slyly (due to technology advances...) update my router so folks near my house can have free wi-fi, through MY router that I pay a monthly rental fee for - expanding Comcast's market share & not guaranteeing me any personal digital or hacking safety. If I am providing a public service by expanding coverage through my personal equipment, I (and everyone else) should get a tax break, no? I bet Comcast does.

    Going back a few years, I especially don't appreciate being required to pay for digital adapters (for TVs that don't have a box, just cable to the wall) since they were trying to cut back on cable theft. I have always have paid for cable, never stole it. Since I like multiple televisions to have basic cable in my home, I have to pay to rent rinky dink adapters & remotes for each tv in my home. Never stole cable, never will, but I pay more to have it where I want it. Great way to ** tax paying customers. I have had so many frustrating & inconclusive conversations with reps regarding sub par service. Comcast is a juggernaut. If you chose to do a deal with the devil, just know your partner. In conclusion, whether it's internet or cable TV, you pay a pound of flesh & they will always get theirs. I'm so happy HBO, Showtime & Netflix apps exist. With all the continuing growth, we will be free of cable very soon.

    Do not use Comcast for cable in Key West, FL. You will regret it! The associate Lori was RUDE and the other two, Liane and Josefina are just incompetent. When I asked to speak with a manager I was told that "Rae" returns on Monday so I could come back then and "Cathy" wasn't in the office. When I asked again (a different associate this time), the lie changed to "Cathy is on a conference call, but I can have her call you". Customer service is very important when running a business and the batch of employees that this company has as the face of their operations all need to be fired or retrained.

    Ever since we moved to our new house, we have had nothing but trouble with Comcast. We moved within the same city and called a couple weeks in advance to transfer our service. The day afterwards, we were contacted and told the first representative did not do the transfer correctly but that she could do it correctly for us. A couple days later, we received another phone call telling us that the last rep did not do the transfer correctly and that we actually had to call the day of the move. When we asked to speak with a supervisor, our request was denied. We called the day of the move and were told they could not connect us because the previous owner did not have Comcast. We were told it would take 5 days. We complained and demanded to speak with a supervisor.

    Our request was denied. After several attempts, we finally were able to speak with a supervisor and received a promise to escalate the matter to a service call in 2 days. No one showed up. We called and were told that everyone that could help us went home for the day so we needed to call the next day. We called the next day and asked for a supervisor and finally received cable by the end of the 4th day after the move.

    The day of install, the representative told us he would put in a request to bury the line. After a few weeks, we called and were told the request never went in but that the new rep would put it in. After a few more weeks, we called again and were told the request was never put in but that this new rep would do it for us. A few weeks later, the same thing happened. We finally reported this in a blog and suddenly the cable was buried. The escalation department called to confirm the line was buried, but when we called back, we were put on hold for 20 minutes before we finally had to hang up.

    About a month after the install, we lost our e-mail. We called and were told that "somehow" our e-mail account was switched back to our old address. The rep said she would transfer all our e-mail to our new address but that this could take 24 hours. A couple weeks later, we lost our e-mail again. We called yet again and were told "somehow" our e-mail account was switched back to our old address. The rep transferred all our e-mail again. A couple weeks later, the same thing happened again. Also, we were transferred a couple times and were told one of the times that the last 4 digits of our soc security number did not match (even though it matched according to the other representatives and other times we have called). Again, we were told the e-mails had to be switched back to our current address.

    This time, however, there was a "back end error" that will take up to 72 hours to resolve. No one knows why this is happening. We asked repeatedly to look into a permanent solution but the representatives we spoke with just ignored our request and asked if there is anything else they can do. There is no offer to compensate us for lost e-mail time either. We have to call back again tomorrow to talk to a customer retention rep because they are not working until then. We do not have e-mail currently. Each time we have called Comcast, we have to spend 2-5 hours on hold and talking with them to resolve the issue.

I was disconnected the 1st time. I called back and then the lady hung up on me. Then I called back because I was pissed then the 3rd person I asked to talk to a supervisor and she disconnected me again! At this time I was gonna stay on that phone until I spoke to someone so I called again and ended up talking to a lady who was just nasty to me and disconnected me again. Now I ended up calling back to talk to the last person NUMBER 5 and he sorta resolved my issue but not 100 percent.

I told him that it was NOT his fault but because of horrible customer service I am canceling and this is NOT the first time I have dealt with bad customer service from Comcast.

    Placed an order on 8/11/15 for our 3 phones numbers ported to Comcast also internet and TV. We received an email for us to confirm the scheduled Comcast installation for 9/1/2015 between 9 am - 11 am by 11 am. We also received a text message. We also received a call the day before confirming the install. No one showed up, so we called Comcast and were told we were mistaken, that our installation was scheduled for 9/1/2015 between 3 pm - 5 pm. We asked how come no one called to let us know since the video they sent us as preparation for the install instructed us to have our telephone installed to hook up the new service to our phone system. We waited and waited. No one showed up. We call again and were told that there was a problem with the porting of our number that we would be notified with a new schedule to call the next day to find out the status.

    We call our current phone & internet provider, AT&T to see what the problem was. We were told they had no problem on their side, that all was in order and ready to port the number. We never heard back from Comcast. We did get a new email with a new installation date 9/10/2015 between 11 am - 1 pm. We confirmed the schedule, we received a text message, and we got a call the day before. This time they showed up and did the install. But we were given new phone number not our phone numbers. We have been in business for 33 years. All of our customers have our current phone number. We called again. The person on the other end checked and we were told that all was in order that they saw no reason for us not to have our phone number. That this installation will be treated as a botched install whatever that means. That they will get back to us. We are still waiting.

    I have called a zillion time, have been bounced all over, have talked to supervisors. Many promises, no results. Many promised to call us back, not a single one. I emailed the sales rep who took my order much nicely, but no result... all BS. Only a monopoly can treat customers this way and get away with it.

A service, which by the way, we had and then lost and they can't figure out why. It's almost comical if you think that wasting someone's precious time is just that. Further, after filing a complaint with the FCC, having the FCC give us more lip service and paperwork, we're no better off than when we started. If we didn't NEED Internet and TV, and if we were able to get another provider's service, we'd be gone. But we can't. So we'll continue to be a cog in the big machine's wheel.

    I rent a room in Orem from a landlord. Part of our rent goes into the bill for internet and cable. We've got the best cable and internet package they have available, so our speeds are pretty good, but their customer service is absolutely horrible!! Today, the technician came and upgraded our cable boxes as part of some new deal Comcast is doing. Great, whatever. He left his tools behind. Okay, so I call up Comcast from the card he left us. It's his personal business card so I thought that I'd get right to him. Nope. Instead I got the main menu. Press 1 for billing, 2 for something, 3 for something else, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...but no "operator"! I press 0 and I get hit with advertising spam for about a minute or so and after that it takes me back to the main menu where I get to hear all of the options again. I press 0 again, more advertising spam, then the main menu again.

    I go through a bunch of other options and advertisements and finally the voice say "It looks like you want to speak with a technician." Yes! Finally!! "Please hold while we transfer your call." More advertisements. 5 minutes later, "We're sorry, we cannot transfer your call. Please try again later." Whatever, it's not worth an hour of my time just to give the moron his tools back. Our internet works fine, but is slow. Our TV works fine and we have no problems with it and now we get free tools because there's no way to get ahold of the technician who left them even though he left his friggin’ card!! If this is the treatment I get just for trying to speak to an actual human for a request as simple as mine, then I'd hate to have to call them for something important.

    Contacted Comcast because all services were out (we have the triple play bundle). After they keep me on my cell phone for 1.5 hours trying everything they know to get it up and running they set me up for a service appointment 2 days away. OK I can live 2 days without cable, internet and phone. The repairman comes between the times designated and shows me the A/C adaptor that they use to power their equipment in the house - the adaptor has failed. He cannot give me a new adaptor. He has to put in a new transformer box. After listening to the service tech tell me how the last installer screwed everything up and now he has to fix everything, for 2 hours, now everything is finally fixed. Wait for it... I get my Comcast bill and much to my surprise (OK I'm not surprised, nothing is that easy) I find that I have been billed $40.00 plus taxes to have a repairman come to my house and fix Comcast's equipment.

    When I call customer service Angela confirms that I had to pay this bill. Since the worker had to come into my house to fix their equipment the charge is valid. I certainly realize that my 1 account means nothing to Comcast and I will be switching to Verizon as soon as my contract is up. What Comcast doesn't realize is that I also control an account that has 75+ boxes and pays over $4,000 per month in cable charges. I'll be looking to switch that account as well. So yes, in this instance they will end up getting me for $40.00 but I will ensure that they will no longer receive $4,204.00 per month from me or my company. Even with the extra $4,000 per month, I realize that I am a tiny fish in a huge pond. But $50,000 per year is $50,000 per year and even though I'm insignificant to Comcast, I'm sure Verizon or AT&T will welcome the opportunity to take that money.

When I didn't receive the $15.25 refund check by August 13, 2015, I contacted Comcast and was promised a refund check in 3-4 weeks. When I didn't receive the $15.25 refund check, I contacted Comcast on September 14, 2015. They could not tell me why the refund check had not yet been sent and instructed me to go to my closest Comcast store to pick up my refund check. When I requested my refund at the Comcast store, the representative advised me that the store did not provide refunds. He stated that he did not know why a Comcast representative would send me there.

    He indicated that he could see a refund request but there was no credit due on the account, so no check would be cut. He proceeded apply a $15.25 credit to the account and explained that this would initiate a refund check that I should receive in 3-4 weeks. I contacted Comcast to complain that I had been given the run around and they promised that I would receive a refund check within one week. I figured I was still just getting the run around so I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor apologized for my inconvenience and stated that I would receive a check in 3-4 weeks, not one week. I hope that I will receive the $15.25 refund within the stated timeframe (probably October 5, 2015).

    But I felt compelled to report Comcast's lack of service, delay in payments, and the inconsistent and misleading statements. I believe that if I owed Comcast money, they would not simply let me apologize and not provide payment. In fact, I would most likely be reported to the credit reporting agencies for lack of payment. But in this case, Comcast owes money to me and has not provided me with the full amount. They have simply offered apologies. I have had my time wasted and have not had use of my funds during this delay. I believe sites like this one allow consumers to report on a company's bad behavior, just as the company would report a consumer's bad payment history to the credit reporting agencies.

What about last name or ID and I was told he won't give it out as per Comcast. So I cancel U-verse and I can't get Comcast due to lack of Customer service.

    Prices almost doubled after two years. When tried to disconnect service, was able to get on phone with an agent after 30 mins wait and she just disconnected when I spoke about disconnecting. Also took us 10 days to get someone to our house to get the internet checked when it stopped working all of a sudden... the reason we were given for internet not working was that the modem supplied by Comcast was outdated. We still had to pay full month's fee despite internet not working for 10 days due to the company's fault. I really hope they cease to exist.

    I have had Comcast internet just over 12 months. My "Blast" package is supposed to provide up to 50 Mbps download speed. Several months ago my service had been upgraded to 75 Mbps download speed. I have daily problems with timeouts on internet sites, my movies on my WiFi are buffering or failing to load. Speedtest.net typically says my download time is 19-25 Mbps.

    I have spent countless hours on the phone with customer support talking with a foreign technician whose English I cannot understand. Multiple reboots of cable modem, unplugging, replugging cables to and from computer and modem. Never fixes a thing so they send out a less competent technician to my house. Tests everything in house and all the way out to green box across the street where my cable connects. Usually I get a bogus explanation that they found the problem in the now infamous "green box" and it is fixed. NOT FIXED. No change in speed. They tell me I need to buy a faster computer or a new modem (they supplied the one I have). TOTALLY BOGUS.

    I tried Speedtest.comcast.com which allows me to choose server for speed test. My "recommended server" according to XFINITY is in Nashville which is 300 miles away as the crow flies but XFINITY speed test says it is only 100 miles away. It consistently tests out at 15-19 Mbps. I try Speedtest.comcast.com using Memphis server (100 miles closer) and I consistently get 51 Mbps download speed. Speed test using very distant servers up to 1,200 miles away gives me consistent download speeds of 33-35 Mbps. AH HA.

    My internet speed problems are due to FLAWED ROUTING ALGORITHM. By default, my traffic is directed through a server 300 miles away which consistently tests out less than 20 Mbps. A closer server 188 miles away consistently gives me 50 Mbps download speed but Comcast data says Nashville is 100 miles closer than Memphis when in reality the opposite is true. Even extremely distant servers (1,000-1,200 miles away) give almost twice the speed of their default server for my internet traffic. But the telephone technicians continue to say a technician needs to come to my house. What a total waste of my time and their company time. I am quitting Comcast. They have proven they are unable to provide a download speed even 20% of what they claim for 13 months and have been totally unable to even comprehend the problem to fix it.

    Disgusted... called Movers Edge on 08/04/2015 for a move. Ordered internet and x1 double play. Comcast set appt for install of 08/24 and sent me the equipment for the installer. Equipment came and was wrong. I called Comcast to resolve and after an hour on the phone, was told that they needed to cancel that order and put a new one into the system. Learned that the rep only did that to get credit for the sale. Nothing wrong with the prior order, another waste of 2 hours on the phone with Comcast.. I was then told to hold the incorrect equipment for installer. He would be notified and bring right equipment. He came on 8/24 and DIDN'T bring all the right equipment.

    He wired and activated my boxes. I got a bill for over 300.00 that had self installation kit charges? and I was billed for tv service from 8/04 thru the end of the month EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE TV until the installer appt of 08/24 when he wired and activated the equipment. How does a company bill for tv service that isn't installed yet? Called to correct the bill and retention department credit me for the time we never even had service. Cost to have bill corrected was 2 hours of my time on the phone. Got a credit in the mail for my prior account. Called Comcast to have the credit applied to my new account number. Another hour on the phone...

    My new account had a balance of approx 50.00 after all the credits from customer retention to correct the incorrect billing. Expected to see a credit when the old account credit was applied to my new account. Imagine my surprise when I logged in to pay and it was now 372.17??? Called Comcast and spent another 2 hours wasted. Supposed to get a call later today from a supervisor as the amount of the credit due was over the reps limit. Still no call...

    Tried to activate my x1 app and spent an hour on chat only to learn that Comcast x1 app server is down and won't be back up for at least 48 hours? Asked for bill credit for my wasted time and for the fact that I am being charged for services that aren't even working. WTF? Guess it's time to move to DirecTV and file a complaint with the FCC and file in small claims court for being charged for services not even turned on... Waste of hours and hours of my time... Comcast sucks... And I will be sending my message to Facebook and Twitter... I guess if enough bad pr, they will do something.

    The 2 televisions we use the most seldom work properly. Can't get channels we pay for. Won't even change channels. Sometimes no tv at all. I have spent hours on the phone trying to get help with no results. Usually hung up on and have to start again. Or they say I need a technician to come out but they are unable to schedule now. They will call back but of course never do. Internet is average. Nothing special like they advertise. Need to reboot weekly. I'm finally on the phone with customer retention. They are scheduling for three days from now but want to charge me a fee! A fee to make their system work. The service that I pay for faithfully! Unbelievable.

    We were planning on switching to Comcast from AT&T because of an email we received with what seemed to be a savings of $250.00 a month. Thank God we didn't switch. Unfortunately we placed the order and gave them a $150.00 deposit and scheduled an install date. Two days before our scheduled install we spoke to AT&T and decided to stay with them. Smartest move we made! I then called Comcast and cancelled my order. We placed the order on August 21, 2015 and cancelled on August 24, 2015. To date we have not received our $150.00 back. I have tried for weeks to get through to their billing department with no success. No one returns calls and I even went to the Comcast local office and their response was to my face, "we can't help you here. We are customer service. You have to speak to billing".

    We have never encountered such incompetence from a major service provider. They have no clue what they are doing. We've been told several different things from customer service, i.e., "it takes up to 30 days", "you may get a credit on your card or you may receive a check", and the best one from the service center was: "You need to contact your bank!" This is the absolute worst experience we have ever had with a utility company. No wonder they offer their service so cheap. I'm so glad we didn't leave AT&T.

    We bought our newer TV 4 years ago, and plugged it into Comcast cable directly without using the box Comcast supplied. We can see all HD channels in my basic TV subscription. Note, this is without a box. Then about 2 years ago, this stopped working. Called Comcast and was told that we need a HD box. Today, we eventually found the time to go to a Comcast center to switch the box. $10/month fee is now required, "The HD technology fee", to cover a technology that a simple cable (with not box) can supply? I have to say politely, B.S.

    I guess that Comcast must started encrypting its signals at some point so that only the new HD box can decrypt it. I have no problem with this if they did it to prevent people get free TV service. Therefore, the new box is not, in any way, to make us customer life better. It is a cost for Comcast to get more people pay. With this, they actually subtract HD broadcast of some free TV channels from basic service and charge $10 for it if we want to get them back. This is NOT technology but a barrier. I am not sure if the boxes off eBay work or not. However, if they work and they simply enable our new HD TV to work for our existing subscription, they are very good to us customers.

    I have nothing nice to say about Comcast Xfinity from billing to the customer service. Wait time on hold was 45 minutes, other time were close to an hour. Three of those minutes where I will find someone to help you. I am told that my service cost will be one price when I signed up for service. Boy was I wrong. I never received my first bill but Comcast collection department sure knew how to get a hold of me. All I can say from the start is I received the wrong Comcast TV line up. The day my service was installed was far to borderline good. Little did I know the next two week were hell with service. I complained and complained and a service tech came out and had to redo all the work the first installer did. All the connections were loose and the wrong splitter was used.

    My first bill comes and was 391.02. What happened to the new customer special? As far as I'm concerned the rest were all HIDDEN Charges... Nothing matched what I was told. The paperwork that I signed after instillation was very near what I was told by the Comcast agent that went over what I want in service. The bill keeps going up, there is fees for everything from late charges to fee that I'm still waiting to speak to Comcast about. I have no faith that this will be corrected. My other complaint is you have to pay for a service tech to come to your home. Never with any other Cable/Dish I paid for a tech to repair their problems. What happened to service what you sell... I had to buy insurance if I need repairs.

    When we moved into our new house two years ago, Comcast came out to see if we were able to get service. They said our house was too far away from the road and it would cost $2k to $3k to run a line. We said no thanks at the time. I called recently to see about investing in this line as satellite internet is not my favorite. The rep said they would get back to me within 48 hours regarding an answer.

    A month later I called back asking about the status of my query. I was on the phone/hold for 50 minutes with three different people who were completely unhelpful. I couldn't stay on the phone anymore so I called back the next day. This time, the rep found the records from my question a month back. She said someone came out to my house and quoted a price of $10,000 to run a line to my house. This is ridiculous and no one seemed interested in helping me find out why there was such checking a discrepancy. Comcast is completely unorganized and unhelpful and unwilling to gain three new customers, giving us the run around.

    A month ago I talk to Apple at Comcast on how I can get all Disney channels. She tells me that I would have to upgrade my package to the Triple Play Starter. We spent over an hour by which she told me I needed a new modem as well. Ok, fine. I told her, by the end of the conversation, that I didn't have the channels I requested. She said I had to wait til I got my new modem and installed. Ok, got the modem, installed it, but still no Disney channels (which I was assured that my package included ALL Disney channels). I called again and spoke to George who said that it was an error on their part and he'll take care of it but give him 30 minutes. I gave him the whole day and no change. I then chatted with Korina yesterday who said she would take care of it. Oh, she did!!! She upgraded my package to the next level without my consent. All we wanted was one channel and to get that we have to pay $190 a month... Really?!

    I have never seen such a horrible service like Xfinity. Wish we have TWC or Verizon in my place. I am sharing some of my experiences below: Last week by mistake I clicked the upgrade modem link. I already have a docsis 3.0 modem, so I called the customer support and asked them to cancel the order. They said they took care of it. After 5 days I got the equipment from Comcast. Now I called them and after 30 minutes service desk told me to return it asap. Now I need to find a center and return it. For last few days, I am seeing tv service has been added to my account. I called customer care and told them I don't need TV service, cancel it. They said TV service not added to my account and no clue why it got added to my account. She said my plan is unchanged but I am not sure if Comcast will charge anything extra. After interacting to Xfinity customer care, it seems some time they are not aware of the things or mislead you.

    If I could give negative stars I would! Where to start? Hmm. Their customer service is a joke. I literally have had issues needed to be fixed and have waited multiple times for over an hour to get a hold of someone. Multiple times waiting and then their line disconnects after waiting. They tell you one thing and do another then pretend it's not their fault. Pricing is outrageous! At least a few outages a month are guaranteed and they won't even make right on the time you're without service BC of an outage. Trust me, I've tried. Comcast is literally a wolf in sheep clothing! Don't give Comcast that satisfaction by paying them your hard-earn money just for a headache and a good laugh for them.

    Called a week ago and made an appointment for a technician Sept 8th for 4:30-6:30pm. I take time off work. I wait. All week long I get about two phone calls a day from someone whose accent is so heavy I cannot understand them. They want to fix my TV over the phone and cancel my appointment. At 5:50pm, yesterday, I get a phone call that they won't be coming. I reschedule for today and make arrangements to be off work, again. I've received 4 phone calls, 3 of them I answered, about fixing my TV on the phone and making sure I was going to be home (so their time would not be wasted). The phone calls put me on hold, over thank me profusely for being kind enough to hold on and keep apologizing for asking questions... again, in an accent that I could cut with a knife.

    They can't contact the tech who will help me but would I like to buy some other Xfinity junk while I'm waiting? Ah... hmm... NO! I just want people to do their job. I'm doing mine by waiting at home for day #2. If there were another choice for my TV that worked in this area, you bet I'd have it. The customer service stinks, and sadly, Comcast doesn't care. Guess they have earned their title of "WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE". What defies me is how they stay in business... Is there a negative rating we could use???

    Comcast came out without anyone in my neighborhood calling them and dug up my yard to, I think, lay new cable (they did not discuss this with me beforehand so this is a bit of an assumption). I was not informed ahead of time that they would be doing this nor was I informed that my internet service would be disabled while they worked. I did speak with the workers and they assured me the service would be back up shortly. They finished and left without checking to see if anyone's service was working, which it was not. So, Comcast's fault right? They still would not come immediately back out to correct the problem they created, wanted to schedule an appointment for 2 days out!! After yelling and screaming they agreed to come back the next day. One customer service rep actually implied that they did not cause the issue by asking how I was certain that Comcast had been there!! Well, gee, maybe the truck was a dead giveaway.

    Comcast's customer service is non-existent. There aren't any adjectives in the English language nor are there enough expletives to describe Comcast's horrific customer service. No one seems to know what's going on. There is no inside communication between reps and management. We were moving and wanted to transfer our service to the new address. We gave Comcast a two week notice and they gave us an appointment for the day after we moved in. The tech shows up but he said he couldn't do anything because the line had been cut and they would have to have a street crew come out and run another line underground from the box that's located across the street. The street crew came out a week later and ran the line, now we have to make another appointment for a tech to come out. Now we have an appt. 6 days away.

    To make a long story short, we had service... so we thought. After the tech left, later that evening the picture went out. I dread calling Comcast customer service, but it's something we as customers must do when a problem arises. The rep tells us she needs the serial numbers off all three boxes. These should already be in the system because these are the same boxes we had prior to moving. To add insult to injury, they had us down as having 4 boxes. During that phone call the rep offered us home phone service and told us what our bill would be. I asked how soon would the phone service be available and she said about 20 mins. After hanging up, we didn't have any phone service, so I had to call back the next day.

    The rep I talked to didn't see any notes on our account about an added home phone service. He said he could go ahead and add it for us, but when he told us the price it was almost $20 more than what the previous rep had told us. Nevertheless, we get the home phone service at his price and still the same issue. No HOME PHONE SERVICE! I left out the long period of time we were on hold both days to even speak with a rep. I called back the next day and asked for a manager and after being on hold forever, I finally got one only to be told he would look into it and give me a call back. Comcast customers already know this… but we never received that phone call.

    After a couple more calls to customer service we finally got our home phone service. It wouldn't have been an issue because we have cell phones, but we have 2 girls that are sometimes home alone so we decided to go with it. I read every customer review on here before I posted my review, and none of them surprised me. It should be against the law, but there's nothing we can do about it! Oh, Comcast is supposed to be adding about 5500 reps. That won't do any good if they are untrained and have bad attitudes!
