Second year in a row Comcast keeps opening accounts, sending them for collections and lending of course on my credit report (never actually got a service with the company myself). You will be lucky if you actually can speak to collections there... If you are, you will find out you need to run to police dept. for affidavit within 24 hours and fax them your DL copy. What????? After everyone there is using my social whenever they want, I need to be calm and safe to fax my DL info, like this is something more they are missing to share with the world??? Apparently July is a lucky month to open fraudulent accounts each year now. I cannot live in police dept. every time when Comcast decides to use my SS number, people have jobs you know... Frankly I am tired of doing it each year with the same company who cannot take their fraud issue under control.

Comcast came out to install cable, dug up my lawn, damaged my sprinklers and won't fix it. I've called 6 times in a month and keep getting told that they are "working on it", "investigating" and that "it takes time". Meanwhile, I have a geyser in my front yard doing major damage to my lawn and garden. Each time I call, the call takes no less than an hour and they promise to call me back. I never get called back. I've repeatedly asked for supervisors who accomplish nothing.

Off to Target to buy a router/modem for my XFINITY service. Just in case anyone else was a gullible as I have been I want to let you know. When I signed up for XFINITY I asked if I could buy my own modem rather than "rent" theirs. I was told by their representative no I could not. That only theirs would work, no other kind was compatible. I am not the most techno knowledgeable person out there so I believed him. I have bought and paid for that damn thing multiple times over the years and I am pissed. When a friend was telling me about how they got a new modem at Target I was baffled. "You can do that?" So I am going to go get one, bring it home and make sure I can make it work. And then I am off to Comcast Cable to give them their damn modem and a piece of my mind (a small one, I don't have much to spare right now.)
I feel bad for whoever gets me. I know it's not their personal fault but unfortunately they are going to have to hear about it. What a dirt bag lying piece of ** I dealt with. No idea who it was, I bet they don't work there anymore. So if you were lied to too, get your own modem, save money and tell them what they can do with it. Have a nice day.

Comcast has a very bad service. They kept me waiting for three days (from 8 am until 10 pm) for a technician appointment. I spoke with them four times every day and they told me that I have to wait until 10 pm. 12 hours later, they told me that there wasn't any appointment scheduled. I spoke during a week with 15 people, 4 supervisors and I don't have the service yet.

Every month we have the same issue with Comcast. They provide us with a monthly amount and as soon as the bill comes is another amount. We call every month and there's always the same answers that they don't know why, that they will make sure next bill is right but we have to pay what the bill says. Also they all over the phone making offers saying that they will give you a better offer and that you as a consumer won't have to pay more, but when the bill comes the same issue appears.

I have bundled service with Comcast. All of it has been down since Friday in the early am. I have spent enough hours with Raj, Carlos, and James to start a boy band. It is all of my services, not my equipment so turning the DVR on and off is ludicrous. A technician was suppose to come and check the outside connection today. No one ever showed. The only true appointment they offered is for September 11 - 7 days from the original incident. I could function without TV but I need the internet to conduct my life. They need to FIX IT!

I moved and needed to get cable so I ordered it ahead of time online, found a grewd deal and don't have to worry if an agent is going to sneak in extra stuff (had that happen before), so I knew exactly what I was getting and the actual price. Everything worked out great, received my bill, right price. Then about a week after I got my first bill I got a second bill, my first one wasn't even due yet.
I called customer service, I was nice to him. I had done customer service before and most of the time they have no idea about what the company does, or hates the company themselves. He said that the technician should've told me that your first month, you get double billed, and that him and other customer service agent have been speaking to the higher UPS to get this to stop. He was sorry and took the technician's install fee off. Basically the tech guy isn't going to get paid for installing my service. But they really need to stop double billing for your first two months.

August 28th - I contacted Xfinity over the phone to sign up for cable and Internet. I was told that my installation will be scheduled for September 7th. September 4th - I received a letter in the mail stating that a deposit is due. I called Xfinity to make the payment and was told that my appointment on the 7th was cancelled because of an outstanding balance of $292.91 on a previous account. I settled the outstanding balance right away. I was told that instead of waiting on another appointment date, I could go to the local Xfinity service center to pay a $100 deposit and pick up the equipment for self install.
September 5th - I went to the Xfinity service center in Camp Creek and was told that they do not distribute the equipment associated with my order because equipment has to be professionally installed and they will mail it to me. I was also told that I owe a deposit of $150, not $100 as I was told previously. I made the payment at the service center and left.
I contacted the customer service number to have the equipment shipped to me. Because of the inconvenience, the sales rep signed me up for Internet, cable and home security with a free camera. He also offered me free HBO, Starz, Showtime and Cinemax. He broke the $99 installation fee into three payments to be paid over the next 3 billing cycles. He said that he will try to get me an appointment for 9/8, 9/9 or 9/10 and I would receive a call 24 hours prior to the install techs appointment day. I was happy with his offer and accepted.
Later on in the day on a hunch, I checked online to see if the changes to my bundle were reflected. The changes were not there. This worried me because of the previous unpleasant surprises from Xfinity, so I called them again to confirm that the order actually went through. I was told that the bundle was there but my install date is scheduled for October 21st, nearly 2 months after signing up.
Why was I given 2 different deposit amounts? When were they planning on telling me about my appointment cancellations and rescheduling? Why didn't the telesales rep know that the equipment had to be installed professionally before sending me to the service center to waste my time? And what's up with this 2 month wait for the installation?
I stressed to them that my immediate need is for Internet for school and work. And if they would just give me the modem, I wouldn't have an issue waiting on the other services. I was told that everything has to be installed on the same day. I should also mention that my house is already cable ready and that the previous owners had Xfinity. Their sales rep told me that. This is ridiculous!

Per usual, I have been transferred back and forth between billing and technical support for 3 hours (all one call) trying to rectify an issue with OnDemand. Technical blames billing and transfers me. Billing blames technical and transfers me. I have had agents (that typically barely speak English) tell me false information regarding my bill and service several times over the years and it's always at the expense of my time as I never spend less than 45 minutes on hold. To make matters worse, Comcast has somehow gained a monopoly in my area and therefore, they are my only option for cable television.

This service is bad, very bad. I paid all my bills on time, was without service for a whole week. No one could speak English long enough to help me. I was on the phone over a whole hour and STILL no cable, Internet, or phone. The only reason I don't have Direct or Dish is because of trees. VERY UNHAPPY WITH COMCAST.

First, I have been a very long term Comcast customer and have generally been happy with them until recently. I have been told by Comcast representatives many times that if I moved to a location that was not covered by their service, I would not be charged an early termination fee. I have two accounts with Comcast due to my working situation. One is in Washington state and one is in Colorado (although originally both were in Washington state and two different cities). I am in the process of relocating my Washington residence to a small town that does not have Comcast service. I was charged a $300 early termination fee in Washington even though I have been a long time customer and continue my service in Colorado. But, get this, I wasn't charged an early termination fee when I relocated the other account from Washington to Colorado even though I hadn't established a new Comcast account in Colorado.
Comcast is very inconsistent in their stories, inconsistent when they charge extra fees, and their representatives are poorly trained. Colorado Comcast has very poor customer service and the performance of the cable is terrible. It drops WiFi and has pixel drop out from time to time even though this is the third cable box. A service rep has been out twice with no solution.
Due to the way I was treated with the Washington account, the $300 extra fee, and the poor service quality in Colorado, I will discontinue the second Comcast account in Colorado as soon as this contract is up and I will no longer use Comcast in the future. By the way, I am already getting repeated calls from Comcast trying to sell me a new account in Washington even though I am moving to a location where they do not have service.

We entered into a 3 yr agreement with Comcast for business class service for a home-based business. Our business closed and I moved to a different city where Comcast service is unavailable. I called to cancel my account and learned I'd be liable for early termination fees - 75% of the cost of service for the remaining months in my contract. I received a call within 24 hrs from the Case Manager, William, and was told that they cannot waive the fees due to possible legal ramifications. I registered my dissatisfaction and requested the President/CEO's name and address. William is only allowed to provide me the address and stated my letter will not be read by the President. It will be forwarded directly to William and we'd have a repeat conversation.
I signed a 3 page agreement which I read in full. It does not mention the 75% early termination fee. The details are buried two more levels of links down in the midst of miscellaneous information. I am very dissatisfied with this policy and the reluctance of Comcast to correct it. In essence, they're requiring me to move to a city and locate a home where they provide service or I am penalized with exorbitant fees. This is an unfair business practice.

I have had Comcast for about 8 months now and I have had billing issues ever since I upgraded my services. I called about 4 times a month for the past 4 months and my bill has never been the same. I talk with many reps and they tell me my bill would be 132.00 a month including installation and every month it has been 353.00 then 265.00 to 217.00 per month. I called each time I receive a notification to my phone and an adjustment is made and I pay the balance and the next month they charge me for the difference of what my charge was.
Now my last bill is 172.00 and I'm finish with my installments and now they state they don't have any documentation, that my installation was cut in half. So I have to continue to make installment payments for the original price and I am tired of the fluctuation in billing and all they can say is that it’s policy. I refuse to keep this service... They are beyond the worst!

We have been Comcast customers for almost twenty years. Following the death of my wife's father, we are now moving to an area that they don't cover. While closing the account they informed me that I will have to pay a $150 early termination fee and which they refuse to waive. FYI Dish Network and DirecTV don't have this policy and their programming selections are better and cheaper. We will never do business with Comcast again!

I moved to a new apartment and I called Comcast to start an internet service. I had my own modem, but when I called them they tried everything to convince me to pay installation fee. I had to accept that. Then they told me that the technician cannot come until the next 10 days! I called to activate the modem myself. But the person behind the phone accidentally disconnected my account. I spent 3 hours on the phone. They just transferred my call to another department. Finally they told me that I need to do the whole process again. It has been 4 days and still I don't have internet. This company really sucks.

For the past 3 to 4 month I have had a constant disruption in service regarding Comcast Live TV Streaming to my computer. This is for me to be able to watch numerous TV programs like National Geographic, The History Channel, HBO etc. I am not able to watch a single TV show without it freezing up every few seconds or just flat cutting me off altogether. When I'm cut off there's an Error Code that says: "Sorry, we've experienced some difficulty playing this program." It says to try to refresh the screen. And an Error code: 900/101000.101002./101005 appears which no one at Comcast seem to know what this code meant.
I have been in constant contact either online or by phone with a Comcast Rep. throughout the entire 3/4 month time period. Weekends included at least once every 3 days or so. I have replaced my modem and Router at their recommendation and continue to have the same issues. Comcast finally said they wanted to send a technician to my home and I made an appointment. The next day the technician called to say he won't be coming out because Comcast was having a nationwide problem with XfinityTV.com Live TV Streaming to its customers.
I decided to report them to the FCC and see if I could get some kind of refund for not having access to their Live TV Streaming during this time which I was watching approx. 4 hours a day. I received a call from back east (I have his name and number) and it was confirmed Comcast was having a nationwide issue and said he would refund my account $150.00. $50.00 for each month of not having this service. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and waited approx. 30 days for the credit to his the account and nothing.
So, I went back and reported the same issues plus the new info I had received to the FCC once again. No one at Comcast wanted to talk about the $150.00 credit previously promised including the person I spoke to originally. Once again I went back online and spoke to another Comcast Rep who I asked if I could speak to a supervisor on duty about the promised credit I was offered. I got cut off and waiting another half hour for another rep. and I asked to speak to a supervisor and finally he offer me $20.00 off 3 months for a total of $60.00. That credit just hit my account. Thank God.
My real beef now is I feel I deserve more of a refund after all the running around, that includes about 30 hours of my time on the internet waiting for Reps to speak with, Reps not knowing they have a nationwide issue, time on local and long distant phone calls and for me having to replace my modem, and router at about $400.00 due to their miscommunication and bad judgement. What a way to run a company that relies on customer service. I really believe that they are getting off cheap at refunding me $50.00 per month and the issues are still happening as we speak. One other comment is when I spoke to the Rep back East he said the Xfinity is in the process of making a new TV website that will not have these problems. I really feel they are lying to me. The current site is "XfinityTV.comcast.net" and the new one he told me will be named "XTV.comcast.net".

The person I chatted with today was very helpful and nice. I was unable to pay my bill online because it showed a 0 balance even though I knew there was a bill to pay. The chat agent confirmed that I did in fact owe a balance and he would be happy to process my payment then and there. However, he also said that he would credit back the 5.99 fee charged to have him process my payment. Apparently Comcast considers processing payments (at least by chat agents) an added service worth $5.99.
While on the chat, I had the bill pay open and by juggling a bit I was able to access the online bill pay and pay my bill without the chat agent's assistance. While I tried to find more about this fee that was being charged, my chat was inexplicably ended. This is not unusual for Comcast chats. In a way, the issue was resolved to my satisfaction but only because of trying different things with the online pay system completely by my own effort. (In this case, I pretended to be paying in advance my current due bill, which then caused my current bill to show on the screen. And then I was able to make payment.)

Moved from one unit to another in same community. 3 different "service technicians" worked on the transfer. TV's not working, no internet, no home phone service. After numerous calls and technical service TV works, internet very slow, home phone works. Now I cannot receive or send emails because Comcast did not transfer the email addresses. Called numerous times, have an "open work ticket". Was told they will call within 24 hrs and fix this issue. No call back - no solution.

Just horrible customer service with lies and lies. They just want you off the phone. I am on a 3-day ordeal with them! Disconnected calls, promised return phone calls that do not come and rescheduled technical appointments. Also -- the best part -- I was being transferred to the "loyalty" department when and after I waited on hold for 10 minutes I was disconnected. 8th time in 3 days. Their new tagline "Thank you for being the best part of Comcast." Got that right -- the customer is the BEST part and definitely the customer service and technical departments are NOT the best part. Why is there no place that someone can actually file a complaint that will result in action. This company has NO concern if you leave or what. I have had Comcast for over 18 years at my current location. They used to be a good company. They are now horrible -- I just wish I had another alternative in my area.

I planned on switching my Telephone, Internet and TV services from AT&T to COMCAST since June 2015 base on the bundle program they (COMCAST) mailed to me. I was not surprised because they have been sending such programs in the past. I told COMCAST that they do not have service on my side of the road but the Customer Service Rep. Keep assuring me that they have just ran a wire through my street so I should be good so I sent up an order - ORDER# - ** to have the install completed on June 30th. On June 30th, they called me that the Technician had problems and would come on July 1st. On June 30th, I noticed my Phone and Internet stopped working. I called COMCAST immediately asking why they would cut my service from AT&T without establishing their service first and make sure it works. They told me it was the Customer Rep. Error that they would restore the services until they established their service at my house.
The Tech finally came to my house on July and confirmed what I had told them earlier - THEY DO NOT HAVE A LINE RUN TO MY STREET. Comcast said I would have to pay $682 for them to run the line to my street and I paid the money since July. After pocketing my money Comcast put me on a run around. A tech would come tomorrow, our techs are overbooked and all sort of excuses. I opened ticket # ** to address the installation and fell on an empty desk I guess. I escalated to corporate with case # ** and it fell on empty desk as well simply because they have collected the $682.00 check.
Comcast is a sham and fraudulent set up solely to make misguided sales and defraud the suspecting consumers. Please stay clear from Comcast if you can. I read some reviews about them after making my decision to switch. If I had read those reviews prior I wouldn't have made such a bad decision. I am back to AT&T and happy with my service as usual. Again, please stay away from Comcast as much as you could!!!

I've been with Comcast for 12 years plus since moving to the metro Atlanta area. Never in my life had I tolerated such poor overall service. Each and every month there's a problem with my bill and each time I would call concerning my bill as to why it fluctuates, I have to put up with foreign reps on the other end of whom I rarely understand. They seem to never be consistent with the previous rep's notes as to what the corrected agreement amount of my monthly payments. Yesterday was my last straw after seriously getting sick with anxiety to the point I was nauseous. I knew then, it was best to pay them in full and cancel my service with them, despite the fact that my bill was $41.00 higher than the previous month. Too many notes, too many conversations and too many inconsistencies in their billing. "STICK A FORK IN ME, I'M DONE!!!"

We installed Xfinity XF Bundle 3-4 months ago. At the time of the sales call we were told there would be no installation fee. When we received the bill there was a $60 service fee. When I called to question the fee I was told that was the installation fee for the phone! I already had a phone, I was only changing the internet and cable box! They would not waive the fee.
We were watching TV on a Saturday night last month and the cable box completely went out. I called customer service and was told that they would have to send a technician out that we could not take the box in to an office and change it out since it was the XF box! I again was told that there would be no charge. I get my bill and there is a $70 charge! Again I called customer service disputing the charge, they wanted to upsell me to add $4.95 to my account for maintenance fee! I am already paying $236 a month for service that is horrible. Our internet goes out all the time and is slower than the regular cable we had before! I was told that a manager would have to review the phone call (the original service call recording that I made to Xfinity) to see if that was in fact what they said!
I called back 4 days later and still the issue has not been resolved. I was disconnected twice and finally gave up. Xfinity gives horrible customer service, you are lucky if you get someone that speaks clear English. I want my $70 credit and then I am looking for a new cable company even if I have to pay $200 to get out of our 2 year contract.

We were talked into upgrading from digital to X11 service, and a self install kit was sent out to us. We tried to install but we were getting a terrible picture. When we called they offered to send a tech out to check the signal, they discovered that the signal was not good enough coming into the house. They put some type of booster on the line and told me that we would have never gotten a good signal with what we were sent out. I asked him to make sure that we were not charged since this issue was not caused by us. We were told that there would be no charge. When we received our bill, there was an extra $40 fee for a service visit. When I called and talked to their customer service, I had to fight for 40 minutes just to have the charge reversed.

I moved to place where Comcast is the only TV service available being that the local association bans satellite dishes for aesthetic reasons in May. There are also limited to no other internet choices as well for internet services. I had Comcast years ago in the Atlanta area in the 1990s, and they were very incompetent then with bad service, and I thought that maybe they had changed. The technician showed up, and I later found out he was incompetent. He did not check the lines to make sure they were sound, and he also fudged the paperwork to show that I took two X1 platform boxes when I only had ONE.
The cable and internet worked for a day or two, then it started going in and out of service at least half the time. The internet actually has been down most of the time when I'm home, and the cable may have a picture, but is stuck on one channel with the remote not working or taking several minutes to an hour to respond. I have had to constantly reboot the machine to only have limited service on TV, but the internet doesn't respond. I have wasted too many hours on the phone to their useless customer service.
I finally went to the FCC website and complained there, and lo and behold, within a week, several "so-called" Comcast uppity up manager types called and promised all kinds of help. Finally, a local field technical manager called, and he said he was sending his "best man" over to see about fixing my problem. The tech showed up, 3 weeks or months on the job, can't remember, but he was competent acting, and he was interested in trying to do his job. Firstly, he hooked his meter to the line and saw that the line coming into the condo was BAD. This place was built in the 1980s, and it probably has the original co-ax cable and connectors and splitters. He went into the attic and replaced one splitter that was corroded so badly that it was unrecognizable. However, he said that he could not replace any wiring or cable, that he would have to place an order to a contract company to have that done.
He did give me an upgrade remote control that lights up in low light which did nothing to solve the problem of my bad signal and bad wiring. Remember, the technician that showed up in early May should have put his meter to the line to show that my service would be bad. Also, I had two boxes on my account that took me 4 months to have removed by customer service. I finally threatened to sue them on the phone one day and some Indian girl I was talking to miraculously removed it from my account. I knew that one day I will be cancelling this garbage, and I didn't want them charging me for a box that I NEVER HAD.
Back to the contract re-wiring. In a few days after the tech showed up after the FCC complaint, the contractor showed up, and he was CLUELESS as to what he needed to do, which is the usual thing with Comcast or any of their people I have ever encountered. He never tried to do his job, I had to tell him that he was called, and his services ordered by a Comcast tech, because my wiring was defective/old?, and it needed to be replaced from the power pole to my house and inside my house completely. He looked puzzled, walked away, got on his cell phone, then drove away never coming back to talk to me.
I then called the field tech supervisor and told him what happened, then he said that he would take care of it. That was Friday, 8/20 over a week ago now. I tried his cell phone yesterday, 8/28, and it went straight to VM. I have heard nothing further. I also tried the phone number left by a so called exec in the Nashville area, and she does not return calls.
If I had other choices, like satellite or AT&T or anybody else (no other choices here...local Comcast monopoly), I would have dropped these clowns 4 months ago. Luckily, this community's management is also fed up with Comcast, and they are about to drop their satellite ban, hopefully at the next meeting. So, I'll be off to DirecTV or Dish. For internet I'll have to go with a local phone company and DSL, but at least it will be reliable and fast enough for my purposes. Comcast exists only because they have monopoly or near monopoly service in most of their service areas, and they and all large companies OWN OUR POLITICIANS (Citizens United, etc.). Avoid Comcast if you have any choice. They are even hard to even place an order with TO START SERVICE they are so incompetent. Stuff like this really can't be made up.

This past Tuesday, our town was hit with a 20-minute storm, but little or no damage. For four days now, our veteran post has been without phone, cable, internet, and due to that, no alarm system. Veterans rely on help in our post, and we hold daily PTSD meetings... Starting the first day, what we were told was totally untrue, and I feel they knew it. The third day, for the first time, they were blaming this 20-min storm for widespread destruction (we live on the coast and I guess they would shut down if a real storm hit).
Day after day, person after person told us of scheduled appointments, repair promises, and they were all false, including the supervisor who acted like he could care less about anyone's needs. I have names, they should either have to prove they were lied to from the field, or they should be fired... 5 days and counting, and we still have no clue if and when anyone is coming out. They have violated any decent agreement for service, and we will not be held hostage by them. We are contacting our elected officials, Facebook, consumer boards like this one, and hope NO ONE USES COMCAST EVER. We fought in various wars, so we are not afraid of this fight...

Since starting service with Comcast I have been charged for services I do not have. I am being charged for HD and an additional outlet I have neither. I call every month with the expectation of having it corrected and every month I am assured that it will be and every month nothing. They do however continue to charge me after tell me they would remove it from my bill. They also continue to turn my service off for non-payment of an incorrect bill. Fraudulent charges for reconnect fees is about what I owe them for and why would I pay them their fraudulent. I can't seem to talk to a manager no matter when I call. There is some Jeremy that comes by every other week asking me to pay him cash or check. Why would I do that. I have no idea who he is and when I ask Comcast I get no answer as usual. I would stay away from Comcast at all cost. Go with someone else unless you want to also be charged for fraudulent charges.

I had Comcast last year as a entertainment provider. My account was on auto pay and I have paid every bill on time. Recently I received a collection call from multiple collection company asking for $64.37 payment which I paid. I don't understand when my account was on auto pay, how would I get the final balance go to collection? Second, if somehow my card was not working I would have received a call from your customer support. Neither of it happen. For last 15 years I have paid everything on time and I would have appreciated a courtesy call from Comcast if I had a final balance on my account. I will not recommend Comcast to anyone. Recently I received a call and they said, "I am sorry Sir but this balance will remain on your credit as late for 7 years." Go figure.

I called two weeks prior to the end of my package deal that I have with Comcast so I could find out what my options were once my package was done in two weeks. I was told I needed to call back the day my package ended because she couldn't tell me anything "her computer wouldn't allow her to give options" prior to my package ending. I wanted to set everything up now to start when my package ended so I didn't end up with a very expensive bill. This is another way Comcast tries to rip off the consumer.

I've been a Comcast customer for over a decade. Had to make the stupid, "rebundle," call and was assisted by "Dominique," in a Florida-based call center. Right off the bat, I was given the worst attitude possible. After about 10 minutes I said, "I feel like you are giving a lot of attitude, so if you could please transfer me to your supervisor...". I was then on hold for 55 minutes, with no check-backs... Then she came on the line and said that her supervisor is still busy. This time, instead of putting me on hold, she laid the phone down on her desk.
I could hear everything she was saying about me, about the call. Etc. I was on hold like this for another two hours and thirty-three minutes, and suddenly I was disconnected. I've got news for you, Comcast: if you think I will continue my service after this treatment, you are sorely mistaken. The next call you get will be my disconnect call. I also plan on telling everyone I know about the absolutely reprehensible treatment I received. Thanks for nothing. Can't wait to connect with Dish, or DirecTv.

I am in a house with 8 other people and we pay more than $100 a month for internet. The speed we pay for is 100 Mbps download speed.

For a company with a monopoly on the neighborhood I live in, I'd expect better service. A monopoly is ILLEGAL based on anti-trust laws (remember AT&T), and if I only have one choice of ISP I'd expect good service, instead of pathetic service which does not offer what we pay for.

I have been a Comcast customer ever since I moved to Maryland. I love Comcast. However, I am moving 10 miles up the road and the Comcast does not go up there. We moved in July and I called to have my service transferred. I found out they do not provide service at my new home, and I was told by their representative that I would not be subject to a early termination because they did not provide service there.
One month later I get my final bill and now I am being told I have to pay $480 in termination fees. This makes no sense. I was told by their representative I did not have to pay the fee. Why do I have to pay if they don't go up there? In normal situations when this occurs, you have to turn in the equipment and your contract is null and void. Why is Comcast trying to ruin people when we are all trying to survive? What options do I have? I was lied to and this should be punishable somehow!

At first we were excited about Comcast. Months in to our service our internet slowed down. Movies on Netflix would pause and take minute to load, only to find it happening over and over again. We decided to call Comcast and find out what the problem could be. They told me it was because I needed to upgrade to a faster service and pay more money. It lead me to believe they slowed my service down on purpose just so I would have to pay more money. I told them I wanted to cancel but the lady convinced me to stay and I no longer had any problems after that, it was like magic.
After the first year they charged me 30 dollars more without telling me I would be charged more money. I guess after a year of paying they charge more money because it's their way of getting people to get their service at first. When I called in to get help, they said I was on a 39 membership, 52 membership, 59 membership, 72 membership. No one knew what I was actually paying. I asked to speak to a manager but no one was able to be found to help me. To me, after year of paying a company for service they shouldn't try to push you away by charging more money to your account, especially without telling you first.

Comcast complaint. This is the WORSE EXPERIENCE EVER! I contacted Comcast because I was moving on 7/31 and I was able to schedule an appointment to regain service on my closing date 8/14. Unfortunately I closed late in the evening so I had to reschedule my appointment. My appointment was rescheduled on 8/21 from 1-3 pm. I usually receive a call the day before to confirm. I did not receive one. On 8/21 I took a half day off work to be home by 1 pm. At 1:30, I called to confirm that your driver was still coming and the representative assured me they were. At 3 pm I called back to find out my appointment was canceled. I was very upset, that I rushed home to receive a service that never was provided and I called your contact center to speak to a supervisor and your outsourced representative refused to get one. Instead, she transferred me to the sales desk, after holding for a half an hour, who had no idea what was going on.
After I explained how disappointed I was, he was able to get me another appointment for 8/25 between 9-11. Therefore, I took a half day off work in order to be present for the delivery. At approximately 9:15 am Comcast truck pulls up in front of my open door and proceeds to sit in the car. All of a sudden he turns the car back on and proceeds to drive away, that's when I come outside to yell for the car that never stopped. After waiting for the automated system to get me to a natural person, I was informed that the driver was already at the next job and that he called two numbers, one of which was a canceled Comcast serviced number and the other NEVER received a call, meanwhile the door was wide open and they preceded to tell me that he could not come back until 12-4. This means I would have to take the second half of the day off work.
I asked to speak to a supervisor, because you can imagine my frustration with being requested to miss work while the people that are at their jobs keep asking me to miss more work because they can't fulfill their responsibilities. I asked if they can get a driver out during the time that was allotted, and if not, would I be compensated for the additional hours of work I would be missing and if not, I would like to cancel the service as well as two other policies that I am an authorized user on. She told me to call back after 11, if they did not come, in order to cancel because they were only willing to give me $20. I called back at 12 and each time I requested a supervisor and no one would put one on the phone.
What type of company is this? You have no supervisors? No managers or accountability for your lack of competence? I was told eventually after an hour that they would come out from 12-4 and a supervisor would call me back. I received a call from a supervisor who confirmed I would be compensated for the ridiculous customer service I received up to this point but understood that my main concern at the moment was to receive service which I took off of work to receive. She was supposed to call me back. So imagine my surprise when I get a call back around approximately 1 pm to find that no one will be coming at all today. After visiting the nurse twice due to my blood pressure going up by the disappointment and lack of respect for my time, I told her to cancel the service.
I later get a call back from Kevin, the guy that made the Tuesday appointment and he's expecting someone to come out. Which is the funniest thing that no one at your company has no idea of what's going on and I expect you all to communicate with me and your not even communicating with each other. All of this lead me to having 1% battery left speaking with your company and getting absolutely nowhere. So Kevin says he will call back if he can get someone out today. I never receive a call back. Yet, I'm still here trying to receive service from your company, solely due to the fact that I used all of my remaining PTO dealing with you and coming up with a package that's best for my family.
I am supposed to receive cable, phone, Internet and security and your employees don't give a ** instead of shopping around and delaying the process further. This is my final attempt to receive Comcast services. However, I do expect to be compensated for the strain that you all have put on me physically, mentally and financially. In the meantime, I have no choice but to see what company actually wants to work and provide service that I'm paying for. In addition, I can't get my security until service is installed so In the meantime, my property and my family is at risk. #**comcast. Very Disappointed and Disgusted Customer.

I advised them that satellite TV was cheaper at this point and they offered to transfer me to loyalty department. (Screw you department.) I spoke with a rep who advised me that he could go over options but since my account was not up-to-date, he could only go over options. He asked what I was looking for and I advised him of the increase and I specifically was looking for faster internet, Showtime, and especially the Longhorn channel. He looked to see if the Longhorn channel was available. He stated that all of this was available for $175 plus tax of around $18, including the Longhorn channel.
I double-checked with him and he again stated the Longhorn channel was available. I asked him how long it would take to get these services and he minutes. He then offered to transfer me to another place to pay, as it would cost $6 to make the payment to him. I did not want to be transferred again so I paid the full amount due to him plus $6, and he stated these services would be for one-year contract. I got home and none of these services were on, other than what I already had. No Showtime, no additional sports channels, no increased internet speed, and worst of all, no Longhorn channel. I called Customer Service again and spoke with rep. After spending 30 minutes on the phone, he stated loyalty dept would call back within the hour. Still waiting.

I tried to help Comcast fix my outages because I honestly preferred their tv package, but the 2 to 5 a day service interruptions got to be too much after 4 months of bad service. Most outages, lasted less than a half hour, but some lasting as long as 5 hours. I can deal with irregular tv service, but it's annoying when I have invested 50 minutes in watching a mystery, and the damn things goes out for the last ten minutes. But I do a lot of work on the internet, and that went down too, and was slower to come back. But the main problem was the unreliability of the phone... we need reliable phone service for EMERGENCIES. When they failed to stop the outages I had to get a different provider because I (and everybody else) needs a phone in case of sickness in the middle of the night or if the house catches fire or there is a gas leak. Or for a civil defense warning.
There is no reason at all to pay for reliable phone service and then have it going off at random times and the provider not doing everything they can to fix it. There was the irony of my being charged by my cell phone company because I had no phone service from the company I was paying to provide phone service. So had to pay another phone company to tell them that their service stinks. I'm 80 years old and I live alone, so reliability is very important to me. Comcast is refusing to waive the punishment for canceling, and claiming that all they needed to do is try (or pretend to try) to fix it, and that it wasn't necessary for them to actually fix it because they could find nothing wrong... My next door neighbor is having the identical outages and, as far as I know, there has been no coordination of effort to figure out why both of us have the same bad service.
I quit 3 weeks ago because I was sick of being reminded every day that I can't rely on their bad service. I live alone, As of last week, my neighbors are still having outages. Comcast claims that their only duty was to try to fix the problems, and failing to fix them is irrelevant, so I was bound by my contract to continue with the bad service. If they weren't so rude and such bullies, it would be almost humorous. They told me that the final decision to not waive the penalty was made by the technicians. The same guys who failed to fix my service.
They even told me to be sure to keep my cell phone charged in case my house catches fire. I am wondering when is the last time they upgraded their equipment in my area. Six and 1/4 years ago, when my husband was awaiting surgery that he didn't survive, he got an angry letter from his main doctor saying that he couldn't reach us by phone. I called friends and they said they couldn't reach us either. We found out by experimenting that OUR PHONE WAS NOT RINGING. I called Comcast in tears and they told us to poke the modem with a ballpoint pen, and when that didn't work, they said there was NOTHING they could do. I had to charge a cell phone in the car and call all of his doctors to give them that number and then pay the high cost of many cell phone calls. I vowed to never subscribe with them again, but a huckster appeared at my door and promised that the technical issues had been resolved.
I do like their tv packages better than others, so, believing this guy, I agreed to give them a try. There were few outages the first month, or I would have quit in the trial period. The constant outages started up the second month, both for me and my neighbor. At about the same time the electric company put up a new power pole. Now I have a daughter-in-law in Asia who is having a health crisis and I was not able to be available for her calls. When my son called to tell me of the crisis, we were cut off twice, and we couldn't reestablish the connection. The outages seemed completely random, and each time the tv would come back on a long time before the phone and internet reappeared. I had no choice but to get a more dependable provider. I have had the new one for over 3 weeks and I have had no outages at all. NONE.
There was a problem with making overseas calls, but between their skilled technicians and my helping them, my new provider figured out that the problem was with the cordless phones. I can make calls to Europe and Asia with my 1960-s princess phone. When I asked Comcast about whether or not they are obliged to provide satisfactory service, their reply was that I should have read the contract. I was given no opportunity to read anything. The guy who appeared at my door instructed me to agree to try by giving an okay by phone. I have never seen a company with service this bad and with so many loopholes to keep them from honoring their obligation to provide dependable service.
If there is a class action suit, I will be happy to join it. I contacted them many times about outages and they knew that they weren't fixing a damn thing, and yet they refused to waive the penalty, and when I complain that I was PAYING for reliability, they bully me say that they tried to fix stuff and failed, so it must be my fault. If it's my fault, how come the Verizon service is so reliable and their technicians are so polite and so capable?

I had poor customer service problem resolution experiences with Comcast in the past. I went to Verizon Fios and aside from the small, hard to read letters that tells you what you are watching when you first turn the channel, their internet and clarity of the TV picture was excellent, never had any pixels freezing like I have seen with Comcast on the old platform, and now with the new Xfinity I am seeing pixelation freezing again! Not to mention the annoying flash for a second or two to tell you the logo of the channel you are turning to and then the program comes on your screen - very frustrating to watch. Pixelation and freezing extremely frustrating. Mind you, we just were "sold" on Comcast to come back because their silver tongue salesperson at Best Buy in Mt. Laurel told me the issues I had above were fixed and the new XFinity platform fixed it… blah blah blah.
In addition, my phone # NEVER got "ported" over from Verizon to them and I still do not have the ability for anyone who has known my home phone # for the last 30 years to be able to use my home number. We have cell phones, but guess what, we have kids in the house and we for safety purposes want to have a home phone # for now. I have called 11 times to Comcast and spent on average 30 minutes plus per call just to be bounced around and told that they will fix it and in two instances a manager or the person speaking to me "will personally call me back by x date." NO ONE HAS EVER CALLED ME BACK.
Comcast is BY FAR the worst company that I have ever dealt with. I am going back to Verizon. By the way the only reason I switched is because both companies will suck you in with a lower (but still expensive) price and then jack your rates up and tell you sorry. When you ask to get a lower, more affordable rate, they force you to switch back and forth and then try to charge you a early termination fee which should be illegal!!! Do not go to Comcast if you have a choice to go to Verizon or any other company!!!

Installation was originally scheduled for 8/19 but when I called 3 days before confirm the date and time I found they had cancelled. Called Comcast to find out that they had neglected to perform the 3rd party authorization to port the number. Rescheduled with their sincere apologies and a promise that no installation fee would be charged. When the tech arrived on 8/21 he said he was unable to do the job. A different tech who could work by fishing through the walls would have to come out. He promised that person would arrive today, Saturday, 8/22.
Someone did arrive but he said he was only there to survey the project and would have someone out to do the work later in the day. After 2:00 I called and was told that the entire order had been cancelled. After another 2.5 hours on the phone (previous phone time with them was in excess of 4 hours on a cumulative basis) I was given an installation date of Wed, 8/26. Not sure how the BPU in NJ can allow a company which is part of an oligopoly to continue to operate in this matter.

In June I received a phone call about upgrading to the Xfinity Comcast X1. Going over all the "Extras" the rep told me that my total bill would be $160.00 and some change. With this I got HBO and Starz, Home phone and internet "at the highest speed" (did NOT notice a difference). Then one month goes by, we got the bill... Lo and behold it was just under $300 (289.15 to be exact). We then called Comcast to try to understand why the bill was so high. On hold for 10 to 15 minutes we get a rep and he told us it was due to the charges for the install of the X1 system. They call it pro-rated charges. I then continued to tell him the rep I had talked to in June said that it would not have any charges for the install or the new system. I then asked to be connected to a Supervisor then was told NO and that he was the only person that I could talk to. (Call was around 2:00pm CST.) Then I asked a second time and was hung up on.
Then I decided to phone back to Comcast, this time I received someone that was either new to Comcast or was very good at turning my words. (Nickname for rep: The Snake.) As we talked I told her what I had expected and what my previous calls contained before I had the X1 system. Then she told My Wife and I that we were experiencing such a high bill because we missed a payment. Due to having Chase bank we went through our bill and found out that we had paid the previous bill in full. (Sent Over to Rep to confirm.)
At this point I was completely frustrated... So I then asked "The Snake" what would it take just to cancel everything with Comcast, then she had said "Well sir there would be a fee to cancel your service of $328.19." Fully knowing that we no longer had a contact with Comcast... I asked her why does she have to lie. That she knows that I no longer have a termed contract with Comcast. Proceeded to ask for a Supervisor.
Finally thought I got someone on the phone that would help me further understand my bill. NOPE! The supervisor got on the phone and said that he was very sorry for all the instances that happened to us. That he would go ahead and change the bill back to the way it was prior to getting the new "X1 entertainment". That he would change the bill.

On to specifics -- Comcast is the only company that serves my home and I live in a fairly big city. I elected to pick up the equipment for self-install. Hooked it up and wasn't working after the suggested 45 minutes. Called Comcast and was told that my account isn't active and I needed to call back the next day because the office that handles those issues was closed. After getting loud I was finally transferred and my service was activated.
I ended up not getting the plan I signed up for and was being charged more than the quoted price. I chose to upgrade my package so I could have more channels and a faster internet speed considering I wasn't getting the speed I signed up for. First bill came and it's $30 more than I was told, and Internet speed is still not up to what I was told. It does no good to call because all they do is say "so sorry" and move right on. If I didn't need internet for work I would cancel the entire thing. Unless I'm misunderstanding, I thought there were monopoly laws in place for this sort of thing. Feels like bait and switch at the very least.

By far the worst customer service I have ever had. I had a problem with my modem so I called tech support. They came to the conclusion that it needed to be switched out because it was faulty. So we set an appt for the next day at 10:30 to 12:30. We waited and waited and no one ever showed up. I called at 1:00 p.m. and to see what happened and the gentlemen told me that the tech that was supposed to come never did because of a scheduling issue. They didn't even bother to call me to tell me this. I was then disconnected from him when he tried to get me to his supervisor. I was then on the phone from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. talking to different call center employees and when each one tried to connect me to a supervisor they kept disconnecting me and or telling me there was absolutely nothing they could do for me.
I was extremely patient up until the very last person I talked to who happened to be a supervisor, because at that point he told me that it was too late and all the technicians were busy, but we could reschedule. Time and time again I told him that I could not reschedule because of work. Long story short, I lost 4 hours at work because of dealing with Comcast. That is money I will not be able to earn back, also I lost work at home that I do on the internet because they didn't fix my modem on the time they said they would.
Comcast if you want to make this right, you better contact me ASAP. You cannot set a business appt and not show up for it, and then tell your customer that there is nothing you can do for them when they pay you. If you want to keep my business, you will fix the equipment that I am renting from you, that I am paying you for....

I scheduled appointment Monday and they scheduled me for Wednesday from 1-3, all day Wednesday kept getting calls to confirm my appointment and I did. Then at 2:30 get message I was rescheduled for Thursday from 3-5. That's not acceptable, I was here waiting for 3 hrs for my appointment, called them and first agent was rude and hung up on me. Then called back again was told "oh well sorry but things happen." What? You have worst customer service ever. I scheduled this cause your cable not working in my house and been through 2 hdmi boxes. What heLL, you schedule this then don't show! Damn! Comcast sucks, the cable internet really bad gonna check into Dish network.

I just had to Google complaints against Comcast to make sure I was not out of my mind after my perplexing experience with their customer service. I wanted to switch from a DISH provider to Comcast only because it seems more economical. I had seen on their website an offering for a package of 140 channels + Internet at $89.99. The package is being advertised at that price for 12 months with a two-year contract.
I called their customer service with one (1) single question, which was "What would the price be after 12 months?" This proved to be the wrong question to ask. Not only I had to call three times with the same question thinking that getting a different representative on the phone would yield the answer, but it was never provided by any of them and two of these representatives were dismissive and pushy. The last man (Victor?) was exorbitantly rude after I gently indicated that I was not interested in any other offers and that all I wanted was to know the price of the package after the first 12 month.
At that point his voice and attitude became beyond unpleasant, his tone was utterly rude and he said "So, are you going to sign up for our services now or not?" I replied, "sir, if you are so kind to tell me the price that I would be paying after the first 12 months, I will be able to make a decision and order the services." Then, very unpleasantly, he started to ask me for my address, name, etc. and he would repeat everything back to me very harshly. I could even hear his anger on the keystrokes and perspiration. Then he asked me whether I owned my home and the last digits of my SSN to which I said "why is that relevant?" Then it got ugly and I had to quickly say "I think I am going to pass on this for now. I do not want to deal with this level of rudeness. I suppose you are not in the United States (which I should have not said) but I will continue to look on the website. So, thank you and have a good day." Then I hung up.
Well, this person called back repeatedly to the office from which I called them (a number I did not give him) and wouldn't stop for several minutes. Now, I am sincerely hoping that I will not be received some threatening mailing at my home address. Ultimately, and after reading all the complaints on here, I will be staying with my provider. Sometimes it is better to pay a little more but have some peace of mind and decent help when you need them.

I recently moved to another state and received an advertisement for Comcast. I needed internet so I called the number provided. I spoke to a young lady who offered me the internet package I wanted for $29.99. The downside, I needed to wait for 8 days for a technician to come to install. I complained that that was a ridiculous wait time but asked to be put on the schedule. She made no mention of deposits and said that my first bill would include installation and other fees. Fine. I stayed without internet for 8 days and on the day of the install, I called again to find out when exactly the technician would arrive. It was already 3 pm and I was getting nervous. Sure enough, they said that I "voluntarily" canceled the appointment by failing to pay the deposit. I was livid. Any idea how hard it is to move to a different state without internet? Now, if I wanted the same internet package, I would have to pay $69.99 for just the internet.
I spoke to a supervisor and she recommended the internet plus cable which was $44.99. I reluctantly agreed even though I didn't want TV. They gave me the address to where I could pick up my equipment. Of course, the first girl I spoke to never mentioned that I could pick up the equipment myself. I picked up the equipment and went home to try to install it. It was a headache, but the internet wasn't that bad. When I tried to install the cable, it gave me an error message for days. Phone call #3. They sent a signal to the cable box and some of the channels started working. They said to give it a few hours to load, so I did. When I finally check on the tv about 5 hours later, most of the channels said "not authorized". I got religious and infomercial channels which were terrible quality.
I called again, for the 4th time, and they told me that I would have to pay $59.99 for any halfway decent channels like TBS, ABC family, etc. Once again I asked to speak to a supervisor and he gave me an attitude. It didn't matter that no one at Comcast gave me clear and honest answers, and they didn't care that this whole mess was their fault, but I was at fault for expecting that the offer I was originally given would be honored. My TV is basically for decoration at this point. I hate Comcast and the second I find something better I'm gone. If you are considering this company, I REALLY recommend you reconsider.

Comcast raises prices throughout your 2 year contract. Each month my bill has been more than the previous bill. It went from 198.00 to 295.00. When I called Comcast customer service to find out what was going on, she stated that all the promotion deals are rolling off due to it coming to a end of my contract. If this was a 2 year contract why are all the promotions rolling off monthly before the 2 years expired. Then she tells me my next month bill will be much more than 295.00. I will be canceling and finding a new provider. This company has been a headache for me for years. Really Bad Company.

Comcast sent me an ad in the mail and on my internet account page every month for 3 months asking me to come back to them while I was with DIRECTV. I had to drop DIRECTV cause I moved and decided to take Comcast on their offer. Offer was 99.99 a month for DVR service, 100Mb internet, HBO & Streampix and 225 channels. Seemed like a great offer. Called to set it up and told them I wanted it for a new address so they kicked me over to their Movers Edge dept. This is where it took a wrong turn. The lady on the phone was directing me through the process while I was looking at the services and fees on my computer on their website. She told me DVR service was included for free the first year but the bill would increase by 20 the second year for DVR service, I said no problem. I then asked if there was any other fees and the answer was no. I added the sports package at 9.99. I set up appt for install and proceeded to move.
When I got to new home and expected Comcast to show up in the morning I got an email confirming my install for the next day, the day I was moving the whole day with a reserved U-Haul. I told them it was the wrong day. They told me there wasn't anything they could do cause that's the day I picked. I explained that I wouldn't pick an install day of the same time that I was picking up a truck to move. I cleared a day just for the install. I had to reschedule for after my move. Installer came and it was a joke. He refused to set up internet as I owned my own modem and he said it was against company policy for him to set it up or my modem would be his property in the system. The apartment was already wired for Comcast so TV install was connecting a wire to a box. Problem is he didn't have a DVR cause I ordered a HD box, or so his work order says.
After he leaves I call Comcast and explain the situation. I tell them he refused to set up internet and they don't care, I'm still being charged full price for install 99.99. 100$ to connect an existing wire to a box that I didn't order. And if you go the way of the self install kit they still charge you 40$. I explain that my service was with DVR service. And surprise can't seem to find that ad I ordered anywhere on their website, imagine that. They insist it doesn't come with DVR service and that my problem is I talked to Movers Edge who only deal with existing service not new service. Even though I didn't call them they transferred me to them.
Getting my first bill is another story. I wait for my bill, and wait and wait. No bill comes in the mail or to my email. Then a late bill notice pops up on my TV. I call them and ask where this bill is that I am late with. On their own website it doesn't list the bill anywhere, only an amount that I'm past due. No itemized bill unless I look on the TV. She tells me it was sent to my XFINITY email, "What XFINITY email?" I ask. "The one you get when you set up an account." A) Why would it not come to the email that my account is set up with or B) in the mail? Deceptive practices. When I see my first bill I notice the monthly payment is not 99.99 but instead 139.18. They charge me 10$ for HD technology, 10$ for the sports package I ordered, 5$ for internet blast fee plus taxes and fees.
I call them up again and ask what the HD technology fee is for and they say that I have to pay extra for HD channels because the bulk of their customers still use standard definition. I have a hard time believing in this day and age that more people are still using a tube TV and standard definition over HD, which is only 720p anyway and not 1080p, so not true HD. Not to mention that since there is 4k that should be HD now, since that is the newest standard. I tell them I refuse to pay for HD service and I want out of my contract for their misleading ads. She insists there is nothing misleading, that I shouldn't be surprised by all the fees and taxes, that is normal for every company out there. Eventually I get her to send me a DVR box and waive the 20$ fee for a 10$ fee instead as HD comes with the DVR service.
The 5$ (which is actually a 12$ fee with a 7$ discount) for internet is for the 100Mb internet even though the ad said it was for 100Mb internet. Confused? Some of the area in Twin Cities still only can get 50Mb internet so the parts that have been upgraded to 100Mb to replace the 50Mb have to pay a service fee for the upgraded speed. Only problem is, if I do a test on Speedtest it shows 59Mb download and 12Mb upload the exact same speed I got on my 50Mb connection before. Imagine that. They say it's because of the differences in technology and that my technology and building must interfere with getting a full signal. That seems convenient. Especially when I have a top of the line modem and router and a direct connection to the router not wireless.
Do not believe in Comcast. They are deceptive and have no interest in keeping or earning your business because there is no competition. They have terrible customer service as they always have had. I will survive till my contract is up and then I will cut the cord and refuse to pay for 210 channels I don't watch. It's only 225 channels because that is the standard definition channels along with the HD channels. Comcast is a scam.

Abhorrent treatment and customer service by Comcast/xfinity. Spent the better part of 4 hours making repeated calls the Comcast customer service. I was promised things by one rep and was told by a different one that what I was promised would not happen as the information was incorrect. I made roughly ten separate calls and each time was literally told something different.
To add to my frustration the service reps were not only rude but they were obviously either untrained or incompetent. I asked to be connected to a manager/supervisor numerous times and was either stonewalled and outright hung up on, leaving me to call back in and have to repeat myself over and over again. Working in customer service myself I know if I treated a customer in this fashion I would quickly find myself unemployed.

I think this company is the most unprofessional incompetent company I have ever dealt with. I plan on reporting them to the better business and telling anyone and everyone not to ever get Comcast.

I set up 3 accounts with Comcast June this year. Two of them were self set ups. I ran into problems quickly because I couldn't find outlets to plug the cables. When I called Comcast Customer Services, the nightmarish experience began. The technicians will arrive 1 hour to 2 hours late that is when they even show up. When they arrive, they will come with a different job order and leave the problem unsolved. The technicians will promise to come back or report the incidence and come back or send another. That will never happen.
I went to Xfinity office literally twenty times to resolve the issues. It never happened. It took pleas and continued persistent for the services to be set up. Then came the bills. The technicians added services I never authorized and when the bills arrived, they were terrifying. My journey began again to the Xfinity office. They promised they have taken care of it. When the next bills arrived, the charges were still there. When I paid what they told me to at the Office, my services were interrupted. When I called Comcast, I will be transferred from one agent to another without resolving the problem. What is going on with Comcast? This is Nashville, Tennessee.

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

Seriously, both parties smoothly wash their hands away from this?
I am absolutely sure Comcast can track down the payment based on my bank account number, day and amount of the payment, but they had no interest in doing so. Instead, they kept asking for an account number I had ten years ago and used to pay with the bank account that now got ripped off. They got money so they're happy and arrogant.

The fact that I had already received a bill but had not use a gb of internet or cable was ridiculous! I snatched every wire and everything up immediately. Found a office, turn equipment in, got a receipt which is what I was being told by telephone - just turn equipment in and get a receipt.

I never signed an agreement to even get service but now they are telling me I'm still getting billed because I didn't do a disconnect properly.. How is that!?

Now they are harping on some design disconnect that I was suppose to sign but according to them I was also suppose to sign an agreement for service as well which never happened. I still actually needed to get Comcast service because it's the only company who offers phone and internet. But at this point I will just play music from a radio because this is absolutely absurd that they think that they will continue to charge me even when no equipment and also try to charge me an early termination fee for business service when I had the wires 2 weeks! No service!
And still receiving bills today with no equipment at all. Now the bill is $500 and I have still yet to experience the service. My salon just open a couple days ago and now I cannot even offer my customers WiFi or anything due to this problem. This is causing a major hiccup in my life to be 6months pregnant constantly on the phone with smart mouth representatives who has absolutely no compassion or understanding about the situation but would if they were in my shoes.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That was then fixed but I also asked about the refund of $50 and was told that this would happen within 24-72 hours. Fine. No such thing has happened. I have proof of conversation transcript as well.
Then I called the next day to set up my modem since I was at work til late the previous day. I was told my modem was not one that was compatible by a Mindy. Fine. I went and bought one that was (8/1/15). I was on the phone with Arrianna, and she informed me that due to all my hassle as I was unable to get connection she would send out a technician 3 days later mind you Free Of Charge. Mind you this is after being on the phone for over an hour trying to get connection But, fine by me. Even though I still had no internet and was unable to connect to the xfinity hot spots. Today, 8/3/2015, I received an email stating that was being charged $78 for the technician to come out for Tomorrow, 8/4/15. Mind you the previous day I was told I wouldn't be charged since I had been trying for days to set this service up.
I spoke with a Felicia today who argued with me about how I couldn't have been waived this charged because then it would be Free! Exactly! I was told it would be! She informs me that I misunderstood. I asked for the phone records. She says that would take a week to receive. So she takes it upon herself to cancel my technician visit, though I still have no internet and even thought I told her this many times. She explains to me that I told her to cancel the technician Which I did not, When instead I told her that if customer service was not a priority to this company and that I have been continuously misinformed since day 1 that I was interested in canceling my account because I was informed that I would be able to be FULLY refunded if done so within 30 days of setting up service. She said that was true. So somehow along with saying this she took it upon herself to mess up my appointment. Therefore I have to wait an additional 24 hours.
With that I ask for a supervisor which she puts me on hold for. No supervisor picks up but instead Felicia, who informs me that she rescheduled for Wednesday, and the fee will be waived. And in the instant that I told her to make it for 5-7, she repeats the information back incorrectly as 3-5, and explains she only really understands military hours. I still have no internet. I am waiting to see about this waived fee. I am beyond annoyed with this service and the only reason I am still using them is because it is the only service that my complex uses along with one other that is more expensive.
Mind you I have been overly understanding, constantly asking for clarification, no profanity, rudeness or anything and these employees have not been helpful. Very confusing and do not hold accountable their employees. It is unprofessional and misleading for a consumer to have to constantly call in regards to an account when misinformed. It should be their duty to make this process swift and as hassle free as possible. And yet I have been told that I am misunderstanding with more than 5 people? Makes no sense to me. I would never recommend this service to anyone.

These are awful, horrible, greedy corporate monsters. I was on hold for almost an hour, only to be bounced from country to country for them to tell me there was an outage. The new phone system sucks and can't understand what a person is saying. I'm so thankful I cancelled the security system the morning it was to be installed. Thanks to the ** that hung up in my face when I tried to get my xfinity app for my tablet set up. I'm so grateful he hung up on me, saved me some dough.

I am not the type person to write public complaints and as a matter of fact this is a first for me. The customer service that Comcast has provided over the past 3 weeks was so bad and frustrating to me that I can no longer keep quiet and just go away. For the past 3 weeks I have experienced problems with my On Demand service with Comcast cable. Two cable boxes were replaced, I have made 2 appointment missing work on both occasions. The last appointment no one from Comcast cable came to my house. I have reset my cable box so many times which seems to be Comcast solutions to everything but never works.
The guy that came to fix my cable never once walked outside my house to look at what may be a problem outside the house or for that matter never checked inside my house but merely changed cable boxes. I now have to take off from work a third time taking vacation time for something that is not a vacation. I have spend a lot of time talking to people at Comcast that seem clueless on how to resolve this issue. Three weeks to resolve an issue is way too long in my book. I pay more for cable than any other service but get the worse service. I am seriously looking at other options about remaining loyal to Comcast for over 30 years.

We switched to Comcast because AT&T was forcing us to accept an expensive internet that would not be compatible with our old home & wiring. They gave us a good rate for high speed service. Then it went up to over $12 more a month; not $5 but $12.59. When I called to complain, there were no special offers for retention or promotions. So I dropped the voice mail service, which is really poor and saved $4. I told them the increase was not acceptable and that I would be looking for an alternative, then cancel. I received an email confirmation regarding the dropped voice mail, but they increased the internet again! It is now $45 instead of $42.58. I will call them tomorrow and argue with them some more.

I haven't been a Comcast customer for a long time, but they have persisted for about five years now in sending me a mysterious bill for $165 that can't be explained. I've repeatedly asked for an itemized breakdown of the charges, only to be told "our computer records don't go back that far." They've sent it to collections twice in the past, only to have the collections agency send it BACK to them after I successfully disputed the charges. Today I received a call from a THIRD collection agency about the same bill. I have, again, disputed the charges and explained the situation. And, again, I have an official dispute form being mailed to me to fill out and send to Comcast via certified mail. I am sick and tired of this, and am interested in escalating my complaint to the Better Business Bureau, the Attorney General of WA, or the FCC.

My husband and I have had Comcast for 6 months now and right from the beginning the customer experience was horrible. 3 times the men that were supposed to come to set up our cable came the day before they were supposed to and got mad at us because we wouldn't let them in since we had to leave to work and it wasn't the date we had given for them to come. 2 times we were hung up on by the customer support staff and we would have to make at least 5 calls at a time to find a person that would be able to help us with our issues.
Now for the last 6 months our bill has been gradually going up and we can't understand why. Every other month we either have a credit or money added to the bill and we don't understand where this is coming from. We barely use the phone service and have gotten charged more than the supposed 10 dollar fee that's usually charged. It's a pretty bad situation. The only good thing about them is the Internet and that's it.

Total Lies and Deceit with their Agents Representations: I had huge problems with service throughout 2014 - and finally, Comcast offered a discount in my monthly payment to make up for technicians not showing up and most importantly, poor quality service. That said, in Jan/Feb 2015 I called Comcast to see if I could lock in my rate for 2 yrs. After speaking to three different agents over a period of four days, I finally agreed to another package that would lock in my rate for $150-$155 per month (First Lie). I deployed in late Feb as a contractor to AFG and after reviewing my bill in Apr 15, allowing for the prorated period to end, I noticed that my billing had now increased to $188.00! Obviously, I was tempted to cancel everything, however, in wanting to take care of my wife while deployed, I decided to keep all and contact Comcast again to figure out a solution.
After speaking to two Agents and two days of phone calls, I was told that my package was the best they could do (Second Lie), though I was offered a slight discount that would now bring my bill to $170.00 per month. After agreeing to all and contemplating the deal over the few days, I finally called Comcast again to speak to a Supervisor. Well, I ended up speaking to a Great Agent overseas who told me that I could have been locked in with my old package for 2 yrs, and he would take care of everything. He did, and my new bill should be around $125.00 per month.
After that call, I contacted Comcast again, this time, writing into Tom K's office - What a Joke!!! My intent was to see if I could be reimbursed the difference, based on the lies, and now knowing I could have kept my original package. As all of you know, Mr. Tom K. never reads our complaints and sure enough, I received another CS Agent after complaining about my experience, and then wanting to compliment the young man who finally took care with me. Standard verbiage and apologies, without any resolve. They told me they would contact me again and see if they could help. Nothing! I replied again to their CS email and now receiving another CS Agent - Office to Tom K - told me that my case would have to escalated! Still waiting... Upon my return home, I am cutting the Cable!!!

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

Comcast distributes popular channels within its bundles so you have to PAY additional money so you can have the channels that you want to watch then end up with multiple channels that are CRAP, and then you have to navigate around the crap channels.
