    Where do I start - from the beginning we've had trouble with these crooks. Installation was flawed - called and was promised a tech MULTIPLE times - no shows. Finally I went to their office in person and raised hell with a manager who tried to threaten me - that didn't work (helps to know the law....). Finally had two techs with the proper equipment show up to fix MULTIPLE issues with the original crap installation. Since then we've had multiple service outages. OnDemand often throws a "service not available" message, internet speeds vary DRAMATICALLY, and tonight I'm trying to watch a movie and the soundtrack gets garbled about every 5 minutes making me have to pause the movie and then restart it to fix audio.

    HOW ON EARTH can these idiots continue to be in business and be allowed to provide such completely incompetent service??? Can anyone spell CLASS ACTION against these twits? To charge what they do and fail to provide acceptable, consistent service is criminal.

    I have never been so infuriated by terrible service! For 2 months my husband and I tried to cancel our Comcast account but continued to receive charges. When we scheduled for the technicians to come to our home and collect our Comcast electronics, they didn't show up THREE TIMES! We had to take off work and stayed home on 3 different occasions for them to never show up... no notice. After 9-10 calls over the past two months, we were continually redirected from department to department. We were made promises of not being charged, promises of lowering our bill if we stayed on as customers, and yet, our bill never changed from its original amount nor did the technicians ever come to the house after multiple attempts to reschedule. Each time we spoke on the phone with someone new from multiple departments, we received different answers and different promises.

    For 2 months this has been going on. Finally we requested call logs to be listened to by the supervisors from February of 2015. This has yet to happen. We will be canceling our services, refusing to pay, and never ever again using Comcast services no matter where we move. It has been a nightmare experience all around. This company needs to under. I don't even want to rate 1 star. I'd like rate as many negative stars as possible. My husband and I and our families are all in full agreement that Comcast is the worst company in America. Shame on you Comcast. Worst service we hope to ever experience.

    We recently moved to a new building about 5 miles from my former residence. My phone number was changed because of this location change. My old phone number was therefore disconnected. "Comcast.net" terminated my email service when my phone number changed. Also my current building is serviced by "rcn.com" (not by comcast.net).

    Comcast terminated our service when we were assigned a new telephone number in a part of the city which is not serviced by Comcast. Comcast will not release my Address Book information unless I re-open a Comcast account. But Comcast does not provide internet service in my apartment building and in the neighborhood where I have moved to. Comcast wants me to re-open my Comcast email account but they do not provide email service where I now live. How is this solution by Comcast possible??

    I signed up with Xfinity in March 2015. I got my bill for the first month with was 175 and some change which was understandable I am a new customer and I had connection fees. I also downloaded an app on my smartphone so I could check my account. When I got on it, my account showed that I owe almost 300!! I called them and they told me that they bill new customers for two months of service during the first month. I was never told this when I started my account. I never got a second bill in the mail. All I got was unexplained charges on my account. I've had service for not even a month now and I'm already ready to switch cable providers.

    It's complete bs that they're going to bill me for two months in advance and make the payment days not even a month apart. So I now have a 175 bill due April 15th and a 116 bill due May 1st! My mom has been dealing with them charging her account twice a month for amounts that are WAY more then she should be paying. Her normal bill is 116 they take that out and then a week like go back and take out another $400 out of her account for NO REALLY. I won't stand for that I will be switching providers. Beware when choosing Xfinity they will just screw you over. And take you for your money.

    I do not understand how this company is still in business. They have the worst customer service. I specifically told the person who set-up my account that we do not need a modem because we already have one. And surprise! They charged me for the modem. Instead of closing our old account a month ago when we asked them to do so, it is still active. When we got the new cable box, it was added it on the old account... Apparently they cannot add the box to my new account so therefore my cable is not working. Overall I spent 7 hours on the phone over this weekend and nothing happened. Please do not use this company!! It is a shame that the authorities do not do anything about this company.

    I started out with only home security and wifi with Comcast. An independent contractor with comcast sold me on adding cable services to my existing account for only $30 extra per month - that was 30 days ago. My services have only worked for maybe 10 days out of the 30. They have sent 3 technicians out who have all screwed up even more! The agents I speak to on the phone don't care, they won't even credit me the days I had no service. And the kicker is they allow me to cancel because they changed my contract when they signed me up for services so I'm obligated with Xfinity home for 2 years or I have to pay a $900 cancellation fee! I was not notified that they changed my contract. Had I known that I would have never added services! My bill is over $200 when it was only supposed to be $130 per month! I am extremely upset.

    Once again, Comcast has outdone itself in delivering abominable customer service. A week ago, I notice a significant dip in my FICO Score provided by my Credit union. I immediately pulled credit reports and found a submission from a collections agency. I called them and they informed me Comcast had turned an amount due from 2011 over to them for collections. I called Comcast and after being transferred about 3 times, spoke to someone who informed me I owed a balance on an account I had back in 2011. I asked “why I had received nothing in the mail from Comcast in the PAST 4 YEARS”, and they had no answer. I eventually determined, that because I got my bills via email, and when I closed the Comcast account I no longer had access to that email address, I was uninformed about the amount due.

    I did some research, and determined to the best of my knowledge, that this was around the time I switched carriers and figured I probably owed it, so I paid it. I then spend another hour and a half being transferred from inept representative to inept representative trying to connect me to the imaginary "Collections Department" to have this blunder removed from my Credit report and restore my pristine credit rating. I eventually got a phone number for Equifax and was told that COMCAST WOULD NOT fix this. I have tried to send an email or even find an address to send correspondence to, but without an active account, I cannot access a location. Any advice would be appreciated.

    I serviced Comcast customers through an independent contractor and had service with Comcast. Let's begin, I signed up with Comcast some years ago. I do not like being lied to. The agent had told me I would receive their triple pay for 99.00/mo. When I received my first bill, I was billed 132.00. When I didn't pay, they had a company called Midland Credit call me. Well they did not follow procedure and a class action lawsuit was filed against this company. An attorney sent me a letter with confirmation that I qualified for a credit of 1000.00. I signed back up with Comcast, was given the same above run-around. I paid 132.00/mo for endless repeated shows/movies (pay-per-view is not included with the monthly service fee). The programming is not updated, maybe every 6-7 months. I have not received any credit for anything.

    The internet connection was constantly breaking even during my servicing for Comcast. It was simple, Comcast got the contractor to do their dirty work for them. How can you sell a service to Comcast customers who are having issues? You can't!!! I would get calls from some pissed off customers. Techs never arrived to the servicing address, credit was never applied and connections with these customers were constantly dropped. I had one customer call and he was paying over 300.00 for the service and was having issues!!!

    Anyway, I was charged an early termination fee of 200.00. I didn't terminate the service, Comcast did. I was even charged for returning the equipment and they charged me for a month of service I never received. I serviced the company and they didn't even give me a break!!! And this is the kicker, I received an email stating they had an opening for a sales position!!! What a joke!!! I tried to get service with Earthlink, I could not because they partnered with Comcast. Isn't the consumer entitled to a choice? And why is Comcast getting away with dominating the industry? As far as I am concerned, it is a monopoly and a monopoly is illegal in this country. One other complaint, the new credit agency calling, will call you 3 times a day until the bill is paid (as stated by their agent). Looks like another class action lawsuit against Comcast.

    I stopped using Comcast's miserable and expensive internet service more than three weeks ago. I personally took their rental modem to their customer service facility at 260 Potrero Ave San Francisco, CA three weeks ago today. I showed them the Comcast confirmation of a $50 cash deposit on the modem rental and requested a return of the $50 deposit. The CS rep stated that she could not return deposit money despite the confirmation that I was owed the $50. Presumably it was to be mailed. Three weeks later and still no $50.

    We recently moved from San Francisco to Pittsburgh PA and had VERY PAINFUL experience with Comcast. As it turns out, Comcast San Francisco has nothing to do with Comcast Pittsburgh. After being a 25-year customer with Comcast, Comcast almost immediately cut off our Comcast email addresses. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CONSIDER USING A COMCAST EMAIL ADDRESS.

    Comcast refused to forward our email! Seriously. We were using our Comcast email address to communicate with our real estate agent, our banker, our lawyer, our contractor, our architect, not to mention our friends and family. ABSOLUTELY CUT OFF WITH NO FORWARD. We also had our Comcast email address tied to our travel partners i.e., Hertz, Avis, United Airlines, Delta Airlines, Marriott, etc. IF YOU ARE USING A COMCAST EMAIL ADDRESS, YOU SHOULD MIGRATE TO GMAIL OR ANY OTHER OPTION THAT WILL NOT HOLD YOU HOSTAGE AND BLOCK YOUR ACCOUNT. Comcast did this knowing that we would be adding Comcast to two additional properties in Pittsburgh. We are now in the process of ending all of our business with Comcast. They need to go out of business.

    I called in to ask about my bill. They said that they have a new promotion that I can apply. I think that's a good deal so that I agreed to join. At the end of the month, they sent me a bill for $263, with $15 installed kit for internet services. They didn't do a single thing. They scheduled a tech to come out to look to see why I couldn't connect to internet. Over the phone, the lady said that as long as that guy not doing inside my house, they will not charge me. Guess what, they charged me $35 and the tech didn't step a foot inside my house. They charged us $99 for upgrade to their new X1 Platform technology. We have to pay for their upgrade. I don't need X1 platform. And they didn’t even mention that in the call. Do not even think about this company for internet and TV services. Comcast is the worst customer service.

    Promotion scam: signed up with the Xfinity bundle with a bonus iPad Mini. I was reluctant to choose the bundle but was swayed with the offer of the tablet. I spoke with three different representatives about the iPad. Each rep explained that after 90 days from my sign up, it would still take another 60-90 days for processing. Seven months later when I called in, I was informed I was not going to receive the promotional deal because I did not pay the advanced billing cycles, yet my service was not ever terminated and Comcast gladly took my $200.00+ amount every month without informing me I was to no longer receive the promotion deal.

    Unreliable network: voice calls - periodically people would reach a busy tone or continued ringing with no voicemail available while I was home alone not using my phone. No explanation when the tech came to my home and investigated the issue. I witnessed it after a few people told me about calling and not getting through, I called my home phone to check it out. Cable - very slow and freezes. Constantly unplugging my cable boxes and tolerating long waiting periods for menus to load or the cable box reconnecting. Sporadic periods of "this function is not available" and "try again laters."

    I received my monthly Comcast bill today and it was for $448.84, double the regular amount. Comcast decided on its own to automatically bill me for the MLB package which we didn't request or authorize. In prior years we had ordered the MLB package. When we called Comcast their response was we must have authorized the charge last year, however, they weren't able to access previous years records. This is fraudulent and their hope is we won't check our bill and automatically pay it. Their only response to this horrible practice was to credit our account for the charges.

    I am so tired of this company. They are nothing, but a monopoly of ripping people off. I have been a loyal customer since 2008. I have always paid my bill every month. When I signed up I was told what my bill would every month for the package I purchased. I now get a letter in the mail that from my 132.88 bill, that again, I pay every month I now owe $428.11. So, I called and I was told some nonsense about “you must have missed a payment”, but I cannot go that far back. I was upset. How can it be that I have the same package, and I have not missed a payment that all a sudden I owe almost three times what my suppose to be monthly bill is. She told me “well Comcast bills a month in advance. You must have missed a payment”, again she says I cannot go back that far.

    How could I typically miss a payment and have service? My statements always put me a month behind anyway, because of their ridiculous billing practices. When truly I am never past due. I make my payment every month, just like my electric, water bill, cell phone bill, etc. I have come to the conclusion that I will switch from this awful company. Do they care what their loyal customers or customers think? The answer is no! As long as they can keep making mega dollars hand over foot, while ripping people off they will.

    A few days ago, I spoke to a salesperson to get service. I agreed to pay $109 without phone service, and that was the deal I made with them, plus $12 extra in order for me to get 105 Mbps of internet speed. I was also charged for three boxes. When the technician showed up and set up my service in my home, I got 12 Mbps instead of 105 Mbps. When I asked him why this had happened, he said that I should call the company so they could send me a technician from a different department to get a booster so I could get the internet speed I originally paid for.

    One of the customer service representatives told me to go to Best Buy and purchase the booster since the company didn't have them anymore. Another representative told me that my area does not have 105 Mbps. Now I am getting confused because the salesperson told me that I could get 105 Mbps, and the website also says I can get 105 Mbps. But now, the customer service representative is telling me that I cannot reach 105 Mbps, so now I'm confused. I'm urging every Comcast customer to check their internet speed, and see if it's what they're paying for. Comcast lies about what they promise to provide, and overcharges!

    Does Comcast (Xfinity) deliberately mislead and tell untruths to its customers? That has been my experience on several occasions. What's that $4.99 a month "service protection plan" that I explicitly declined? Why am I being charged $1.99 a month for an "additional outlet"? Yes, ** in Guadalajara tells me, "that's a mistake." So why does it remain on my bill month after month? Why are they charging me $14.99 for Showtime when they told me they are giving me that as a free promotion for a month? I told them that I didn't want Showtime!

    I've spent way too many hours (and I mean HOURS) on the phone when my new digital set-top box refused to cooperate. On two Sundays in a row I was unable to tune into 60 Minutes on CBS. Error message says 'the channel is temporarily not accessible.' It happens that a number of channels were not accessible. "Don't worry," ** assures me. She promises a refund for the service outages and tells me she will send me an email describing the refund. No email and no refund were ever received. "We can't email you," another customer service representative in the Philippines tells me in a subsequent call. And he adds that they are not authorized to arrange any refunds or tackle billing problems.

    Does Comcast school their army of customer services representatives to lie to customers? Has Comcast consciously erected walls between billing, tech support and service reps to maximum customer frustration? Do they have a playbook for that? Maybe 60 Minutes has investigated this phenomenon. Unfortunately, I can't see 60 Minutes these days.

    Consumer beware. I found out that my internet usage has been capped at 300 gb only after I received an outrageous bill from Comcast. Apparently, they are now allowing up to 300 gb of data usage only, and after exceeding this limit you are charged an additional $10 per 50gb thereafter. Apparently, they are only doing this so called test in certain areas of the country and are working on making this a national requirement. It may not be affecting you now but if you're a Comcast customer, it will be affecting you soon. If this isn't gouging the customer I don't know what is.

    Where is the regulatory force on this one? It's only a matter of time Comcast. We are at a day and age when it's nearly impossible to do anything without using the internet. Just about every facet of our lives are intertwined with data usage such as school, bill pay, entertainment, research, business, banking, etc., the list goes on and you go and pull this **?

    I called Comcast for an XFINITY package that they were advertising in late November. They had advertised $250 or a Samsung Tablet after 3. I told the sales rep that I was interested but that I would have to wait until late December for My DirecTV commitment to expire. He told me that I could sign up now for installation then and informed me that I qualified for free instillation. So I signed up. My first reflected an installation charge and was a bit more than I was quoted. I called and complained that I was informed that I had "free Installation." They said that I had free installation for 4 TV and I had 5 installed. I argued that I was not informed by the sales representative or the installer that there would be a charge for the fifth TV and eventually (after taking to 2 people for 45 minutes each) asked to talk to a manager who instantly offered to half the installation bill and lower my monthly bill.

    I was happy with that so I paid my first bill and signed up for auto pay. The next bill was higher than expected so I called. After being told about 50 by 2 people that's just what my bill is and getting mad, I hung up and the next person explained that I was undercharged $50 the bill before. I checked my bank account and they were right, so I paid it and the next month auto pay kicked in. Now it's April 7th and no $250, so I called and was told that I was delinquent $50 so I did not qualify for it... MAD!!! I argued that it was no fault of my own and that I had paid my bill but was not charged the full price. I got "I understand but there's nothing we can do about it." Not cool! They gave me $50 discount and Showtime for 3 months..... It's something but it's not the $250 I was promised! Oh and to make all that more insulting, they said that it was for $100 only!

Then they said the only way they would turn on service is if I call my ex-wife and get her to pay, or I could pay myself, even though I "don't have to". That is basic "strong arm tactics".

    Feb 18 I was never told about the hundred dollar installation fee I was overcharged for my installation paying for 2 extra lines that would never installed in equipment I never had...... I lost my sister in the middle of March and ask customer service if I made a $200 payment would I be able to pay the $98 by May 1st or second. I was told "You do not work out payments." And my cable and internet will be shut off by the seven days. What I explain to them I only get paid once a month. I am retired military the service would be shut off in 7 days as it will explain to me I was with AT&T for a long time you guys make AT&T look like angels.

    I have never had such a bad experience on the phone with ** and ** and sold it so many times straight up lied to. Fortunately my phone calls are recorded. Never let the person who took my call when asked said anything about $100 installation fee. They told me my bill would only be $120 a month. It was then they did not mention the $8 equipment rental fee, was never mentioned in the car. Even my installation was very substandard yet I was charged 42 extra lines that were never installed in my house. Comcast is straight-up liars. I have recorded phone calls that I am going to put on YouTube. I'm also going to talk to attorney.

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

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

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

    Comcast is what happens when a company has a monopoly over an industry and could care less about the satisfaction of their victims. They are the only company in my area that offers cable internet, and it's been that way for decades. The price they charge for their service is never consistent, and they tack on new fees every month that you've never even heard of. Their prices gradually increase every year, yet they maintain the same slow cable internet speeds. They charge around $150 just for Internet and basic cable, which is ridiculously high seeing as how the costs of these technologies have gone way down.

    It's 2015 and they only offer around 20 mbps internet speeds to start, which is over 50x slower than Gigabit fiber internet, which is the standard internet speed in many Asian and European countries. On top of that they charge around $70/month for their slow internet, which is the same or even higher than most Gigabit ISP providers. They do everything they can to stop other companies from providing Gigabit internet to their customers, claiming that their speed is "good enough" for the customer's needs.

    They ONLY upgrade their speeds when competition starts to loosen their grips on their customers, like when the speed of DSL was nearly the same speed of their service for a lower price. Now Google Fiber is finally starting to shift the paradigm and offering super fast internet for the same or lower cost, and offering free internet just for the setup cost. I'm sincerely hoping that Google and other ISPs are able to provide true value and service that Comcast has always lacked.

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

    On 2-28-15 Comcast came to my home to repair two lines another tech called in as bad. The new tech showed up on time and tested the lines and said the noise on the lines was acceptable; he did not need to change the lines. I asked him if he had any of the new small digital boxes with the HDMI connections. I told him I would like to replace two of them. While I was waiting for him in one room he decided to do the swap in another room by himself, my wife and I both heard a crash. I went to the room to see what happen. There was my 36" Samsung 6000 on the wood floor. Corner smashed bezel broken. Wood floor gouged!

    I had no problem with Comcast (I'm a fairly new customer) until a couple of months ago, when I sent in a payment on my account. When the next month's bill came in, it showed this amount unpaid and past due. I double-checked my bank account to see what had happened with the payment. It HAD cleared my bank account. I called Comcast and was asked to fax a copy of the cancelled check to them, which I did. I was told it would be cleared up as soon as they received the check.

    A week later, I called just to follow up. The amount was still not cleared up and I was told by a different rep that this type of matter could take up to 2-3 weeks to resolve because Comcast had to wait for information from THEIR bank to find out where the funds were erroneously posted. I explained that I understood their problem, but that they're trying to internally track a mistake in posting shouldn't prevent them from crediting my account (To add insult to injury, my Comcast account number was written in the memo portion of the check.).

    The next day, I received a collections notice from on the account, and when I called to explain the situation, the "collector" insisted that I pay the disputed amount AGAIN and trust Comcast to credit it back to me when they got it straightened out, which I refused to do. I asked to speak to a supervisor, who told me he wouldn't even accept the reference number I offered so he could see for himself that the bill had, in fact, been paid.

    After that lovely phone experience, I called the Comcast business number AGAIN, asked to speak to a supervisor, was refused, and was told that all the customer service reps could do was document my calls, because the problem was being handled by "accounts receivable". I asked for a phone call to someone who was actually working on the problem and was told the customer service rep was not "at liberty" to give me that information. But he assured me that he was taking the late fees (which I did not owe in the first place) off my account to make up for my "inconvenience".

    To date the matter still isn't resolved. I would NEVER do business with Comcast business again, nor would I ever recommend them to anyone else. Oh, one other thing, just to REALLY add insult to injury, I get a junk mail come-on from Comcast business almost every day, urging me to sign up for the service I already have.

    Beginning with my signing up for an account in August of 2014, I proceeded to pay for three months of HDTV, DVR, and several channels that never worked. After several attempts to resolve this with communications through both online chats and phone calls, my issue was finally resolved after they agreed to send out a tech to investigate my issue. Once the tech arrived, he proceeded to perform the same diagnostic checks that the original installer had done to no avail. Once completed, this tech eventually checked the connection on the back of my house and found an archaic filter attached to my connection cable. I had been billed, at this point, for 3 months of services I never received. After this semi-competent tech repaired the outdated lines on my home, all was fine for several months.

    After this issue was resolved, the billing nightmare began. My bills began to reflect payment dates that apparently had no bearing or connection to reality. I was told that my next bill was not due until the normal time of the following month, yet my service was cut off on 3/30/2015. I called in and paid the required "past due balance," and my service was restored. I returned home from work on 3/31/2015 to my television and internet not working again. I called in and was told I was required to pay another $30.00 charge, and could not be told why. I could even expect to pay the superfluous "reactivation fee" that I was told I would have to pay on my next bill, but to have to pay two days in a row?

    Comcast operates under the same tactics as a classic monopoly, and answers to no one. The hoops they require an everyday consumer to pay just for the privilege of watching television is absurd, and I am still paying for their nonsensical package that includes a home phone, despite the fact that one under the age of 94 still uses a land-line.

    I was going to cancel my Comcast bundled services, but Customer Service gave me a better deal -- they would upgrade my Xfinity Triple Play for a much better package, faster internet etc for Less money. They said my rate would not change for 2 years. Surprise, surprise -- when the first bill came, they charged me for an "inactive modem" for $7.00. The bill arrived more than 30 days after installation, so I could not CANCEL the contract. I called Comcast right away, and they told me I had to return the old modem. What modem? The installer took every old piece of Comcast equipment away with him when he left. I did not get any receipt, nor did he offer one to me.

    Next bill comes, and now they are charging me another $10.00 for their outdated piece of junk that they say I have. I called again, "they are investigating the Ticket #," and it can take a while. Meanwhile, I will keep getting charged these monthly fees. I will call them weekly to follow up -- I am retired and living on a fixed income, and have plenty of time on my hands to get this straightened out.

    Consolidated my business utilities for convenience and less money (so I thought). Signed contract on 10-3-14. No service from them until 12-18-14. Rep said had a lot of problems with other customers. When reps came to switch service they were asking me where certain wires were and things that I didn't even know what they were talking about. This lasted for about a week of them sporadically coming and going. Then the nightmares really started. My credit card machine started to be very slow or not work at all. I called Comcast. Reps did not show up were scheduled, and then blamed my CC company and the CC card company blamed Comcast. This went on for months.

    Then the CC would not batch out at night so my sales were not credited. I spent so much time on the phone with Comcast one day I just broke down and cried to the woman on the other end of the phone. Ten days ago I lost all internet/WiFi connection. Called Comcast Thursday, March 19th, was told Rep would be there tomorrow, Friday 20 March. They called that day to confirm... no one showed up or called. Called them again and a rep finally showed up today, March 26th and "fixed" the problem, which was caused by "a lot of problems" with the "boxes"!?!?

    Finally got a rep on 3-30 to "fix" the problems. I plan to go back to Centurylink as soon as possible. My contract says nothing about early termination fees, and even so I will tell them to take me to court.

    Comcast sent an employee out knocking door to door in our neighborhood shortly after we moved in. We were in the process of transferring our ATT service over from our previous address and after convincing us he could reduce our monthly cable bill by as much as 75%, we agreed to give them a 12 month trial. 12 months of pure hell is what was in store for us!! Weekly service interruptions, internet speed 10 times slower than advertised and bills that seem to increase monthly without any notification from these scumbags.

    After multiple complaints and phone calls and multiple attempts of having technicians out at our house to research repair issues with no real solution, a Comcast representative informed us over the phone that it was in our best interest to just increase our current service to get a faster internet. Knowing I was locked into a contact for another 6 months, I agreed that if I am stuck with these crooks for another 6 months, I'll pay a little more each month and gain the benefit of faster internet. Well, lo and behold, what I did not realize, was that by agreeing verbally over the phone to have our internet service boosted up to the fastest level, I was unknowingly committing to another 24 month contract. After never receiving any documentation or notification of this new contract, the 6 additional months of a joke of a cable service had finally came to an end.

    When we finally called to cancel, knowing our original 12 months of hell was over, it was brought to our attention that we have a remaining 18 months on our contact of being stuck with this garbage cable company full of low life's and liars. I immediately argued and asked for a copy of this so-called contact that we signed and was told that conveniently for them it is company policy they cannot send it to me. Not via mail and not via email. When I told them I didn't care and I still wanted to cancel they told me that to do so I am liable for a $250 early termination fee and if I did not pay it, that additional fees would apply and they would send to collections and damage my credit.

    Can we be held responsible for a contract we did NOT sign? A contact that as far as we understand, does NOT exist. A contract that the seller is refusing to publish or make available to the buyer. This is a scam! It's a pathetic scam and a shame. Even if we are under contract, is Comcast not in breach of this contract for failing to provide its clients with a proper duty of care? I'm sure the contract should read that the client agrees to pay for x, y and z service from the seller only if x, y and z are actually being provided to properly to the buyer right? The real crime is that x, y and z SUCK and Comcast SUCKS!!

    True Story: I once called Comcast to report an internet outage, they told me they needed to verify my account and needed either my account number or the exact dollar amount of my last payment. I responded no problem, then paused and stated that I could not provide either of those to them because Comcast setup us up with paperless billing and that in order to retrieve that information I would need access to my email which would require a working internet service. Comcast response: "Well you will have to call your bank, find out the dollar amount of the last payment and call us back." Are you kidding me??? This is how you do business???

    Another mind blower: Did you know that if you call Comcast to report a service interruption they will have a someone over the phone attempt to walk you through a step by step process of resetting the equipment installed in your home by Comcast. If after 2 hours of this fails and the end result is that Comcast has to send a technician out to your home to fix the issue (like actual "work"), they bill you a service charge for their faulty equipment. But wait, you can avoid this service charge if you agree to pay them a monthly service charge protection fee.

    Hang on, so... you mean to tell me, that if I as the consumer who is simply renting your crappy equipment experiences a problem with your crappy equipment, you will invoice me to for your technician to come fix your own crappy equipment? And if I want to avoid that fee, I have to pay you basically an insurance premium for your crappy equipment? How the ** is that even legal? The fact that these crooks get away with this, is an absolute travesty. Can anybody please help?

Every month I called I tried to give the CSR the ref #, but it appears they have no meaning. Hopefully they can resolve this issue and honor what they originally promise. I feel this is a simple request. Thanks for listening!

    I connected in December with Comcast. In Feb. when I still had not received a bill, I called THEM! Since then I have spent hours on the phone and on email with various representatives who have taken my checking account numbers for auto pay, as well as my credit card for quick pay. Nothing has worked and I am nowhere near overdrawn on either. My credit card statement even shows where the money was taken out, but I still get phone calls and emails saying I now owe over $300. It is unbelievable. I have tried to contact the man who says he cares about my business in the emails, but no one seems to know who he is. I have no other option for cable or I would definitely take it. We love DirecTV but cannot get it in our condo due to regulations about dishes on roofs.

    In a three week time frame unsuccessfully dealing with Comcast for my house (A) & (ironically) my boss's apt (B). "A" is new client & "B" existing client. A & B 3 visits each to date - no resolution. 6 techs give scripted reasons i.e. - the AV techs say "there is a problem with wires being old - you need the old wire dept". Old wire department comes - "they didn't tell me B is a building - have to send a subcontractor." "I can only do private house wires." Reading the 6 different order sheets I notice info is always wrong- "phone agent" problem.

    Down 25 hours of time & $240 in tips (6 techs so far). I can't punish all techs for following orders they have been given by "phone agent". Comcast hired "White Fence" (customer solutions) to call me after follow-up survey re: B. Their Supervisor is going to listen to all of the recorded (by Comcast) phone calls with "phone agents" to identify problem (prompts me to reschedule B).

    Next day WF calls & says I should reschedule B. That was the timely solution to an "equipment agent" not showing up? Does WF fee get passed on to customers? "White Fence" listening to past conversations did not instill confidence. Currently waiting again for Comcast (A & B) and for our TV repair man - Comcast "special services" agent mistakenly disengaged Crestron disabling channel changing & on/off functions. Only hope this post helps those as frustrated as I. What can we do? hashtag Comcast? After 3 Comcast visits and no result our TV repairman says he rebooted box and now our Comcast services are restored in B. Incredible!!

    The quality of the internet service provided by this company was very poor, with frequent long periods of outages. I called to complain and they said they would send out a technician. The technician said there was nothing wrong with the equipment, even though he made a lot of adjustments to the modem and router, and further adjustments to a box located OUTSIDE the residence. He suggested that the best way to get the "Wireless" equipment to work would be to hard-wire it. REALLY. That's what he said. I'm not kidding. I was further shocked to get a seventy dollar charge for this so-called "service." When I called to complain about the charge, I was told that the charge was "Legitimate" and that Comcast would not remove it.

    What they will be removing is all of their substandard equipment as I am looking for a more dependable and customer friendly company to do business with. Comcast has ZERO skill in customer service. It is the worst I have ever encountered and I only rated it one star because I was not allowed to give it a zero.

    About 2 years ago, I had service from Comcast. Out of 5 scheduled service appointments (guaranteed to be on time or $20 credit!) they gave me the credit 5 times. My favorite one was when I called to find out why they no-showed me I was told that they had shown, I didn't answer their call to confirm when they were on the way. I asked what number had they called? I had my cell with me all the time while I waited. She read the number and it was my Comcast internet phone number, so I asked her to read me the reason for service call and thought her voice amusing as she read "internet phone not working."

    Fast forward year later, (last year) and I sign up for service again. Told them I wanted same service as before - basic cable and internet (had downgraded to this last time due to poor service). Was told 89.99 was best they could do. Thought price must have gone up, not abnormal for poorly run, horrible cable companies. I go pick up equipment, pay initial deposit and return home. Set up equipment. Internet works, no TV, screen says "channel not authorized." After spending 2 hours being handed around and no TV still, they schedule service call and tell me I am lucky they have an appointment in 5 days available! Service tech shows early (awesome), looks at my screen and says "filter on your line from previous tenant" (I had moved since previous service). He goes downstairs and in seconds TV comes alive. He comes back, leaves receipt saying no charge for visit and bounces.

    I go to check my first bill and it is 331.00!!!! My plan, with taxes, was 127.00, they charged me 70 bucks for service call and another month. I finally, after 2 weeks, got them to remove service call fee, paid for one month and then asked them to give me basic package as I did not order it (I was 3 days over the 30 day guarantee). So they told me I would have to make bill current before they could change plan (wtf?) that they had erroneously given me. I had paid for first month because I had the service, but didn't pay second because I hadn't used it yet! They also had not changed the start of service date to my actual one as I had no TV for first week, that's why I had passed the 30 day mark. I explained I was on fixed income and second payment would not be possible for 30 days. They basically said "Oh well."

    Made next payment, called again, was told bill could be lowered to $54..... as soon as I caught it up. Tried managers, online chat, and I have never talked to such rude, mean people in my life..... that were supposed to be customer service agents!!! I thought I was in the twilight zone. So, I cancel service and return equipment. Told there was wait time for receipt. So, 2 weeks later, I get bill for 320 bucks for the equipment.... took me another 2 weeks to get that straightened out. I HATE COMCAST. I MEAN THAT. I REALLY HATE THIS COMPANY. DID I REMEMBER TO SAY THAT I HATE COMCAST?

    I have been a faithful and paying customer of Comcast for 20 years. Recently I needed help lowering my bill as I was in school full time and a budget. Call 1 to customer service. New package deal offered, land line I never used and only had because of a bundle was removed to save money. Services like HBO, Starz, Streampix removed. Quoted $95.00 per month. Bill arrives, I'm still paying for all of these services I'm not receiving, bill higher by 20.00, than original bill I was trying to lower.

    Call 2. No record of call 1 existed in the system but they confirmed services were definitely disconnected. Offered a new package, stating a land line is mandatory and this was reconnected. New price 109 with contract. Still bare bones package I was supposed to receive before. When bill arrives, it is 10.00 higher than that last month.

    Call 3. No record of call 1 or 2 existed. But they confirmed I was paying for services I was not receiving. I was offered a package for 135.00 and a free X1 operating system upgrade. No charge. I had no reason to believe this was a real offer either. I was told I should pay my entire old bill and this new package would be retroactive a month because I'm paying for channels and services I'm not receiving.

    Self installation kit arrived: including a X1 box for extra rooms, to be used with the main X1 box. What main box? I tried it anyway. It connected to my network, said it was finding channels, and that the box had been deactivated. Back in the box it went, back to Comcast. Next bill: over 200.00. No retro credit, no new package deal. Just paying a huge price for "services". They got smart and stopped itemizing my bill.

    I made the 4th phone call crying to the customer service rep, telling her I'm broke, we have been doing this all year. I just need basic Internet and basic basic TV, local channels. I have 100.00 budget. She said they had nothing in my price range and suggested I disconnect their services. So that's it. They don't care about the longest, loyal customers.

    We disconnected our cable with Comcast because of the lousy packages they provide. In Canada the subscribers can pick the stations they wish to view but not here in the U.S. Because of this, we have intentionally been using "rabbit" ears just because we were so discouraged with our service and disconnected it. The stations we were receiving were so much "infomercials" and, not to mention, too many commercials, period.

    Still, my husband became tired of getting up and continually changing the "ears." He relented and decided to try the corporate t.v. again, much to my chagrin. As before, when he went to get a box for cable, it didn't work. He called customer service. Apparently, the poor guy in India he was connected to, didn't understand what he needed. So, the next day, my husband drove another 15 miles to get a new box. Surprise! That one didn't work either. In the meantime, our land line was cut off because we were informed that once the cable was re-installed, our phone would be cut off because of the package we chose. So now we haven't any cable AND NO PHONE.

    Bless the people that work for this company that make millions. They are only trying to make a living. Shame to the corporate shysters. May I ask you something, people that run Comcast? When did you lose your ethics and morality? When did you start believing you were better than the rest of us? Do you have Netflix? Or do you subscribe to your own?

    From day one I've always encountered problems with Comcast. First of all, none of my bills are ever the same month to month. Each month the bill seems to creep a little higher (AND NOT ONE EMPLOYEE CAN TELL ME WHY). Second the employees of Comcast are evidently not knowledgeable of the policies and protocols because each and every time I get a totally different explanation as to why my bill rises. Thirdly, the lines when paying the bill is unbelievable. A recent experience being I was told by one employee in the office that I had until the 28th to make a payment and holy cow I get home on the 15th and service was terminated. I never received any type of notice of any kind, just simply put, service was suspended. I really hate this place and will definitely seek other alternatives in my area.

    Another thing is the wait times for any type of customer service via phone is unreal. I held on approximately 45 min only to be hung up on. This place charges so much and the service is HORRIBLE. Another example, I went into the office to pay bill and was asked by employee about the xfinity home security system. The employee went over all details, gave me the total of what my bill would be each month and guess what. I get a call from the installation guy a couple of days before the system was to be installed. He says that he is calling to go over what my bill will be each month. Well guess what, he quoted me a $200 bill higher than what was explained to me in the office. Totally disgusted!!! I politely just cancelled the entire service call.

I called a different company to see what they could offer, and called Comcast back with more questions. I don't want to switch, it's more of a hassle, but after my experience with **, I'm more convinced that Comcast does not want to keep customers.

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

Long story short, it was a communication error on their end, and we DID NOT get our refund because the person who came out here wrote down that the problem with the internet was OUR fault because we had the wrong router. No, we don't have the wrong router. When we moved in we bought a router specifically for Comcast because they have a list on the website of which ones will work. So they lied?

I can't even explain how disappointed I am. I absolutely HATE Comcast. Every time I call they always tell me to unplug and plug back in. Horrible. Never choose them if you have a choice.

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

    Comcast is a rip off. I just had it out with them for the last time. Returned my boxes yesterday and now have the lowest cable/internet package for existing customers (which is horrible for the price I pay). They were charging me an HD fee 9.95 on top of the box rentals (ridiculous). I have been in touch with the both satellite companies in my area and will be switching in 2 weeks. Even after the promotion package the satellite companies are still 43% cheaper than comcast... No hd fee ever!! No extra box fee ever!!! Three times as many channels as comcast and this is the lowest package... And yes this is all in writing, so it is legit/I do my homework.

    I have now by forewarned families by word of mouth in my neighborhood and hope to have a Comcast free community by the end of the summer. This is sad because I was a loyal customer for 14 years and the first few years were great. It is sad that comcast has to have such high increases and others do not. When I seen I was getting charged an HD fee on top of a box rental, that was the last straw. Sorry comcast onto cheaper and better TV. Oh everyone check your maintenance fee that went up too.

    I went into a Comcast office with the plan to either get my monthly bill lowered (due to financial reasons) or turn in my cable box for cable tv yet keep my internet account with them. She couldn't get me under $60.00 per month and said the best she could do was $70.00 per month which I agreed to. This gives me basic tv channels plus internet. As I got on my Comcast account via the internet I realized that I was just locked into a 2-yr agreement and did not even know it. This lady never said anything about a 2-yr agreement with this change and I never signed any paperwork for it. I have been with Comcast without a contract for at least 4 years now. Is this legal? I didn't speak to her on the phone or through Comcast chat, I was face to face in their local office.

    I contacted Comcast to set up cable and internet at our new apartment. I spoke with a representative and agreed to a deal where we would get cable, internet, and a DVR for around 100/month. Pretty good. A technician came 4 days later and hooked everything up. The internet worked fine but the cable box was buggy. The next day, I unplugged it and rebooted it which worked for a day and then nothing. On the next evening, I called back and after about 30 min on the phone, the rep said that a technician needed to come and fix it. This was on a Friday and a tech wasn't available until Monday.

    Monday: tech comes and says a cable was loose and that the box should be fine (I was suspicious, but I let it go). The box was fine... for an hour. When I got home from work, the box is completely frozen and won't change channels or anything. Also, that Monday, I received a bill for $260! I call Comcast, and tech support tries to tell me that I'm using the remote incorrectly. I'm not, I know how to work the remote, I promise you. So needless to say, I'm getting upset. So I tell them that I no longer want their cable service and just want the internet that was advertised at $40/month. They tell me that offer is available to new customers only, and since I am an existing customer, I would have to pay $80/month for the service. Seriously!? That was it, I cancel everything.

    Unfortunately, there are no real alternatives in my area. Comcast needs more competition. They have so much control that they can easily get away with hidden charges and fees and extremely poor customer service because only they can provide broadband service to a public increasingly reliant on such a service. It's time that we demand an alternative to this corrupted company.

    This issue started almost a month ago. I was going to have some services disconnected. I have home security with them so I had to go to that department. The lady I spoke to gave me a great deal. I went to pay my bill and it was 455. So I called and found out she really put it in at everyday pricing. The man I spoke to said he would have to get it over to a supervisor to listen to the call and have someone get back to me. Well as you can imagine that hasn't happened. I have now been on the phone being transferred all around the world and back, hung up on 3 times and on hold for an hour total. If they don't have this taken care of by the 13th it will go into past due and then shut off. They have been allowed to buy everything they want and to hell with the customers.

    Having been a Comcast customer for over 15 years, they finally went over the top. After changing my service provider to Verizon in October, Comcast is now suing us for over $600 for past due fees. On October 4 we contacted Comcast customer service to advise them we are terminating our service and going to Verizon. We then drove the Comcast CS center, returned and cataloged all of our equipment, advising them we discontinued our service. We kept receipts and names of people we dealt with along the way. On or about December 1, we received a bill for over $400 advising us we are past due, and need to pay our bill otherwise services will be discontinued (they already have all equipment as of October 4). We contacted Customer Service via phone and advised them of the above, and they told us "Ok, we never got the termination notice" that they will remove our services immediately.

    Guess what happened in January 2015..... another bill for now over $500 advising us of the same, they will discontinue service unless we pay the past due amount. Another call, another "I am so sorry," and another false promise to take care of the situation. Now it is February and guess what.... you got it another bill for now over $600 and the story goes on. So we now sent a letter explaining everything to Comcast as stated above, and thought the nightmare was finally over. Finally in early March we received an "official Notice" from a Collection Agency, advising to pay or....! We recently sent a letter with all of the backup bills, checks, and letter that we originally sent to Comcast. Can't wait to see what happens next.... Stay Tuned!

    I originally had made a call to possible get a credit on my account because my internet was acting very slow in the mornings around 1 or 2 a.m. That issue was resolved with no problems so far. I was also interested in upgrading my services. That is where the issue began. I was told by the first representative that my final bill after the upgrade would be roughly $105 dollars INCLUDING taxes with a 2-year contract. I agreed to this. I was then offered an upgraded receiver box, which I accepted on the clearly stated grounds that it would be at no charge with no additional fees whatsoever. I was also told I would receive my new services immediately before the box arrived. Everything sounded good. I waited for my services. Nothing. I called back and talked to another rep who told me that I had to wait until the box arrived for me to receive my new services. Very inconvenient at this point.

    I finally receive the new box in the mail. I install it correctly. It will not activate correctly. I call and talk to a 3rd rep. The rep could not fix it. She started to get very rude with me. I demanded to speak with a manager and she denied me. I asked repeatedly, and she denied letting me speak directly to a manager. She attempted to fix my service by adding HD service (which I did not authorize her to do). This did not fix the problem. I told her I didn't want to be charged for any type of HD services. This was never mentioned by the first rep that there was any type of HD charge with the upgrade. She said they were going to see what they could do to compensate me for the problems. They eventually end up scheduling a technician to come to my house with the charge waived. I agree. The tech arrived the next day. The box was faulty, as I had suggested to the rude 3rd rep I spoke with for nearly an hour.

    Tech swapped out the box, service was fine. I call back to have another rep (4th) tell me that I am being charged for the HD which I did not authorize. I figured that I would deal with it at my local Comcast office so I could deal with a person face to face. At this point, I am ready to cancel my services. I make a complaint on Twitter about Comcast. A verified corporate profile @** offered me assistance and never followed up. I made another complaint via Twitter and @comcastcares directly messaged me. I talked to 3 different reps through direct message with this account and they told me HD was included in my package. I was never told this. I was told my bill would be roughly $105, not $117.

    They offer to compensate me 1 year of HD for free. How can you compensate me something that was secretly included in my package and they admitted was included? They said my bill would be $99 before taxes, with taxes making it roughly $105. They were deceptive and weren't actually changing anything from the original price that I agreed on with the first rep. The Twitter conversation slowly took place over the course of the last 4 days, very, very slowly. My issue is currently still unresolved.

    Comcast, your service really makes you the ABSOLUTE worst company ever! I can't understand how you continue to succeed in business by providing the worst of the worst customer service I have ever seen. No one can help solve a situation, you need at least 10 phone calls with multiple hand-offs where you need to repeat your story again and again and again... well you get it. I am sure you have all experienced it.

    You are willing to take our payment, did not apply it to the correct account, kept an old account opened when they were supposed to close it and now service is not working. Comcast, or Xfinity - whatever you changed your name to in hopes of having a better reputation, instead of a name change you need to have a business consultant come in or take a few customer service classes or let customers speak to managers who can make a decision or help fix a problem.

    Billing transfers to support, support transfers to billing, get it together! Instead of the associate not being empowered enough to determine what needs to be done on the phone calls, they all seem to abruptly disconnect. Why not just get a manager, someone from billing and someone from support on the line to hash out the issue, determine a resolution and then take action. This would cost you, the company, less time and money, the customer less frustration and your reputation might actually improve.

    Other businesses would not be as fortunate (if that is what you want to call it) to still be making a profit. The numbers we have been told to call (not transferred to) include: 866-200-6733, 800-325-7264, 877-896-8678, 877-842-6622, 866-203-8766. We have made multiple call backs (mostly due to disconnections). At what point can customers bill you for their labor in trying to get your assistance on a service you provide? That would be a fair, after all, you charge rates for connections and support depending on what it is.

    On 2/24/2015 I made a payment to Comcast for a bill due in the amount of 280.00$. I thought that was very high for a cable bill when I barely watch t.v. so I decided to contact them and see if I could reduce my bill. I was planning to downgrade but the rep says that they had a special going on for Colorado residents and it should also reduce my bill. I agreed and set an install date on the 2nd of march. When the Tech came out he installed some of the equipment, but two of the boxes he had were lost in the system and he could not activate them. After he left I tried to connect my video game system back and realized that he left with my HDMI cable. I called Comcast back to get the last two boxes and they told me I could pick them up from a Comcast center or mail them to me for an extra charge of 17.00$.

    Well I'm trying to reduce my bill so I decided to pick them up but while speaking to the rep I was told that my signal was very low and they would send another tech out the next day. The rep told me because the tech is coming out he would bring me the 2 boxes I needed to finish the install. Day 2 3/3/2015, 2 techs showed up to troubleshoot my internet connection. For 2 hours they tracked mud and snow in the house and one of them kept entering other places in the home were 1 there was no cable and 2 I had personal things out where I was not comfortable with them being around. They claim they fixed the problem, but once again they did not have all the boxes.

    I call Comcast again to get the last box and it just gets worst. The first thing is that I was not on my account to order extra boxes, so now I'm going through hoops to get this straight to get my last box. This time I was told that my signal was still weak and she noted to have the tech install a booster to help my signal and send a box. So today I had an appointment from 1-3. Never seen the tech that claimed to come out to the home...only seeing foot prints half-way up the driveway in the snow. No info was even placed on the door to show they came but got a call from them on the phone I used to call them which was not even on the account to contact me. I don't even know how they got this number. I end up calling them again to see what was happening.

    I get a rep and first they tell me that the tech was at my home and he was not able to leave me a box because it was not his job. Second the rep claims I had cable boxes connected that the techs never deactivated when installing the new boxes. I told her to look at my package and to make sure all devices match what was on my package because they were charging me more for boxes I didn't even have. She showed signs of confusion so I asked her to let me speak to a supervisor and she said that I could not and one would call me back in 20 minutes. I asked her to transfer me to anybody because of the...of issues she was causing and no help. She would not. So I just hung up called right back.

    This rep was ok. She went through my account and fixed all the errors she found but seen that my bill was all jacked so she sent me to billing. I'm with billing...know this guy is just reading and repeating the notes from the last reps and still could not fix the problem. I asked him to send me to a supervisor and he did. WOW! The first rep I talked to said she could not transfer me to one. Why I get lucky this time? The supervisor handled it well and corrected the rest of my problems and set me up hopefully for my last appointment on 3/5/2015. Overall I would choose not to use them, but they are the only ones that offer DSL. But I will use them till this contract ends and replace them with a DISH and use my cellphone as a hot spot.

Certainly they do not go above and beyond. They are unwilling to help and incompetent!

    When I asked the supervisor what he can do for me as I just spent 5 hours over 2 days on the phone with them wasting my time and energy, the supervisor said he cannot do anything at all.

I called Comcast, explained the situation and was initially told there was nothing they could do to refund my money! SERIOUSLY? I work in customer service at the management level therefore I know there are ways around policies.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor. After speaking the supervisor I demanded to speak with his manager. After taking an hour and 30 minutes the manager apologized for the inconvenience and agreed to refund my money in about 14 to 21 days. I was not having it. It took them no time to remove the funds therefore I did not feel 3 weeks was an appropriate time period for the refund to process. I pressured the supervisor and after all the hassle the funds were refunded in 4 days. Comcast will make mistakes and will try to offer no solution. This company has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I am anticipating the day I move from this college town to a metropolitan area with better cable and internet options.

    Comcast XFinity TV complaint. After issues with digitizing and tiling since November 2014, an appt was scheduled for 02/28 after an online chat session 02/22/2015. Here's the sequence of events, and no resolution to date.

    02/28 - 0759. Technician arrived in the driveway at 0759 and then promptly left. We have the van on security camera backing out without the tech ever coming to the front door. Nor did the technician call the provided contact number given to ** the week before, **.

    02/28 - 0915. Called Comcast customer service to attempt to find out where the tech went. Placed on hold numerous times, then rep could not find the csr or appointment. Hung up on me.

    02/28 - 0942. Called Comcast customer service, to attempt to find out where the tech went. Placed on hold numerous times, then rep could not find the csr or appointment, or the account. Smarter now, so I provided csr ** and account number. Then rep found the appt, but said we cancelled it. No, because we confirmed it on Thursday morning via automated call to **. Then rep wants me to schedule another appt. No. Asked to speak with supervisor. Got placed on hold again, then disconnected.

    02/28 - 1002. Called Comcast customer service again to attempt to find out where the tech went. Placed on hold numerous times, then provided csr ** and account number to rep. Another rep found the appt, and was going to patch us into the local dispatcher. Hurray! Someone who knows how to find something. Oh, but wait.... during "patch in" hold, click, and then nothing but dead air. Dropped from their call again at 1015. I gave up after three calls and an hour.

    02/28 - 1130. Contacted chat customer service and explained the situation, repeated calls, hang ups, disconnects and still no tech. Rep wanted to schedule another appointment. I told this person to come and get their equipment and to cancel service. Rep disconnected from chat. I still have no cable reception that is acceptable for the cost they are charging. ** said that after the tech visited they would "evaluate the account and refund partial." Sure they will.

    My Comcast "nightmare" began January 16, 2015, when I signed up for new service. **, salesman with Comcast at 5720 Asheville Hwy, Knoxville, TN 37924, explained a two-year plan but later I discovered he signed me up on a six-month plan? He quoted me a price of $125.64 a month. I have called him six times and left message on his CELL PHONE (his office does not take INCOMING phone calls?). It took three scheduled service calls to finally get an installer out. I spoke with ** in Stone Mountain, Georgia three times when they tried to change the third date to a FOURTH date. I demanded they keep the third date.

    The first installer who arrived was in a big hurry. (He was very inexperience. He was more concerned with a "pigeon" he had in a box in his truck). He moved two of three phones to the opposite side of the room, one on a very short cord, which I spent almost an hour re-wiring the next day. The third phone was in my kitchen, he said he COULD NOT connect it, although it had worked OK for years. He also installed the WRONG cord on one of my TV's, which created a "snowy" picture for the next three days until the second installer came out.

    Three days later the second installer arrived. He spent less than one hour correcting 9 of 10 problem left by the first installer. He re-wired the two phones and wired the third phone in minutes and said the first installer just didn't want to take the time? He also replaced the wrong cable on the TV which corrected the "snow" problem. During that day, THREE Comcast trucks showed up, each about 2 hours apart. THEN THE BILLING PROBLEM BEGAN. I received an email stating the monthly bill was estimated to be $148.00 a month, then an email showing a previous balance of $235.38? Then an email showing a new balance of $351.34, including the old previous balance.

    I phoned and after spending several minutes on their AUTOMATED phone system, I spoke to ** (in INDIANA). She was the first person who seemed to know what she was doing. She explained the salesman had written up the wrong plan, which should not have charged an installation charge. She corrected the plan to a 24-month plan and removed the installation charge. She said my monthly bill would be $128.97 TOTAL including all taxes and charges. NOW I get a new email which shows the installation charges removed, BUT a new balance of $291.39 (not the 128.97 as promised). On 2/27/15 I began trying to call ** (YOU CANNOT TALK TO THE SAME PERSON TWICE). I phoned from noon to 6 PM, TWENTY ONE times with NO CONTACT. Each time, I went through their automated system (and had to listen to their COMMERCIALS); was told to stay on the line for a representative.

    After holding, on a dial tone would come on, EVERY TIME. IT is IMPOSSIBLE to talk to a REAL person without going through their AUTOMATED system. The Comcast office the salesman is out of, DOES NOT TAKE INCOMING phone calls. I have been calling FIVE different 800 numbers, with NO success.

    Monday, March 2, I began calling at 10 AM. After talking to several people and leaving my phone #, I get a call from ** from the corporate office, who REFUSED to help, but would only QUOTE policy of a DOUBLE BILLING THE FIRST MONTH. I was never told of this, going back to Jan. 16. ** was a VERY ARROGANT person. She promised someone else would call me back---but, of course, no one has called!

    This service has been totally MISREPRESENTED. I spent yesterday filing a complaint with the FCC and the Better Business Bureau (I had seen on the internet, the only way to get results from Comcast is to file a report with the FCC). My balance should be $128.97 TOTAL for the first month and each month for 24 months, NOT two months the first month. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST 7 WEEKS.

    I have dealt with plenty of Comcast's/Xfinity customer service and technicians over the years. Yes, there were plenty of times where the reps were rude, not knowledgeable and I don't even want to mention getting stuck in the IVR maze and transfers. This is my first public review and complaint about them until today. Today their negligence and complete disregard for their customers pushed me over the edge. We manage IT services for many companies and municipalities and utilize Comcast for transport and service where needed. We deal with Comcast customer service on almost a daily basis.

    It all started this morning when I received a message from one of our customers that the internet is down. I thought well nothing unusual since outages are a common problem for the area where the customer has service. I called Comcast Business Class Customer service at 800-391-300 (forgot to mention this is business class service) to see if there were any outages. Before I was able to speak with a rep, I received a text from my customer informing me the service came back on. IVR did not report any outages in the area either during my call. The outage in the morning lasted a whole 4 minutes, not long but for a business that does online sales, very annoying.

    When 12:10 CT came around, I received another text from my customer reporting again the service is out. So as before I picked up the phone and dialed the CSR number, but this time when the rep answered, I was informed my account was disconnected. I was in shock, asking how is this possible, the rep informed me that it was a voluntary disconcertion. Raising my voice out of anger, I demanded an explanation and was told this morning I requested the service to be disconnected. On top of it all, she stated there is a note that I called in January of 2015 inquiring if there is a contract on the account. I'm the only one that is authorized to make changes to the account and never did I even call to inquire about the contract term. The service at this location was active for over two years.

    When I explained this is a mistake and demanded the service be restored, I was told this is not possible and I will need to setup another account and was told to hold while being transferred to a sales rep. This is where I had enough, I simply hung up the phone and said I'm done with Comcast for LIFE! Never in my life will I ever get their service, service from any of their subsidiaries, and I will be cancelling all the other services currently with them from all my other customers.

    I have stories collected over the years about Comcast, billing mistakes, modems being accidentally removed and deactivated, unauthorized charges, etc. If I had to count all the hours wasted dealing with them, it would add up to months and not to mention all the stress and aggravation dealing with this company.

    Thank you for taking the time in reading my story. The service location for this particular customer is in Bensenville IL, in the commercial park near York Rd and Foster.

    We had our service transferred from one address to another. Comcast failed to bring the billing info over to the new account. We contacted them to discuss the fact that they were charging us $200 in "Non-Returned" equipment (which was used at the new house and installed by their technician (an additional $200 for the "installation" when everything was already set up from the previous tenants). They still did not set up the new account with the auto payments so they turned the service off. We decided to go with a different provider because of the incompetence and because after we moved, the internet was so slow at the new address that we couldn't stream anything because of "Buffering".

    1 week AFTER they turn our service off, they hit my debit card $327+ (even though they "had no card on file" for the new address) which in turn overdrew my account. I called to speak to someone about this and was told by the lady that she had to transfer me to "Billing". I have now been on hold for the Billing department for over 30 minutes (no kidding, my phone says 31.10 and I still keep having to listen to the elevator music and hear their recording stating that my call is important to them and asking me to please continue to hold and a representative will be with me shortly).

    This is just how important we consumers are to Xfinity/Comcast. They mess up not just once but twice (by not transferring all the details from one location to the new location and by not fixing it when we called about the "Unreturned Equipment" that they "installed" at our new place). Now for the third time I am trying to get things straightened out and I have now been on hold for 36 min and 31 sec. Horrid Customer Service, Horrid Experience!! It is now at 42:31 minutes and still on hold!!!!

    Had internet connectivity but host dropped while I was on the internet. Waited about 30 minutes before calling to report the problem. Finally got a CR who spoke very little English and was very hard to understand. Explained over and over what the problem was but he insisted try a whole crap load of things that would make him feel better. Obviously, nothing worked because he couldn't understand the problem. Eventually put a different CR on the phone. He also spoke very little English and was dumber than the first CR. Had to explain the problem over and over again. All he could provide was for a home service call so a tech could tell me what was wrong "with my equipment". Very rude. Agreed to a tech coming out, but the first available would be in 4 days. I requested that they send someone who was familiar and understood the English language.

    About 20 minutes after the call with dumb and dumber, Comcast restored their host service. Then about a hour later I get a recorded msg from Comcast to call them regarding a scheduled service call. Called the number, only to get another person who had even more difficulties with the English language. Told him multiple times that I didn't need a service call because Comcast finally got their host issue resolved. He had extreme difficulty trying why I didn't need the service call. I feel that I would be better off talking to a parrot, who probably could have been more helpful. When will Comcast realize that customer service sucks when you send it off to these offshore sweatshops. Really getting fed up with their service and prices.

I give up and return the modem to Comcast. Next thing, my bill goes from $88 to $137. I call Comcast and they say they will adjust back to $88, well. Today I receive another TV remote which I have no idea why it was sent to me. I check my account online and it said my balance is $131.06 due in 6 days.

    I call Comcast and talk to a guy by the name of Sunny. He said I will only need to pay $88 but when I ask about the new TV remote, he said if I don't return to them or don't activate, there will be fee charge to my monthly bill. They have no return label so he ask that I take it to a Comcast facility or pay the fee. This is their way of scam and forcing people pay them or do something that I don't want to. They can't just send their equipment to people and ask them to pay if they don't activate or send back them. I wish we have more competitions. This is really a monopoly power.

Once we called the correct number, the customer service agent (Sasha) was nearly rude, talking over me, and trying to sell me things I had no interest in. I told her so, and she backpedaled, quoting me $10 more for the service than their website offered. I told her I wanted to hang up and call back.

    She rudely asked what my hesitation was at signing up now. I expressed my displeasure at how the call had gone. She attempted to get me to sign up still, a very hard sell. I hung up, and will never use Comcast service in the area again, as long as there is an alternative.

Woman told me as there was a 45 minute wait for receipts to leave equipment, it will be scanned. They did not scan one of the pieces I returned (they show one piece of equipment not as returned). Therefore, they are still billing me 79 a month. Now I am waiting (again) to see if they can find it. Otherwise I'll need to pay 320 for a tiny piece of equipment or pay the 79 dollars a month I expect into perpetuity! Never return equipment to a store unless you plan to wait as long as needed for receipt. Don't listen if their employee tells you a receipt is not needed. This is not a responsible system.

    I am frustrated and livid to be in this mess. There seems to be nobody to complain to. Every call seems to be cut off. Every person seems to send me to someone else. Don't use COMCAST and if you do, assume they are inept and you won't ever be able to leave them without coughing up $$$$. Infuriating. It feels like they steal.

I am keeping everything the same, just changing the name on the account. I scheduled the installation twice and they missed both appointments. Then they shut off my service, including my home phone without telling me.

    I have kids who get home from school before I get home from work. We depend on them being able to use the phone. I complained and scheduled a new appointment and they agreed to waive the fee.

When I asked the Comcast technician to turn the "XFINITY" signal off from my property, his answer was "NO MATTER WHAT I DO THAT SIGNAL IS GOING TO HAVE TO STAY IN THE AIR" But I reminded him: But you are in my property and either you, your company, or whoever did the installation asked me to process it that way, with two strong signals surrounding all the way to my closets and fading away every signal it founds in it's way up to 300 ft according to the same Comcast Techs.

I said that's reasonable, but he told me that I would have to install a new modem, or I can buy the same and the lease on the modem would be taken off, so my new bill would be reduced $10 to $107/mo. I told him that my current modem is working just fine and I do not wish to lease another modem that I would not need. He put me on hold to ask the tech dept if I would need to install the new modem, the answer was no.

    But in order for me to receive my new promotion I would still need to take delivery of the modem and pay the $117/mo, even though I'm not using it! Sure they lowered my bill but they're forcing me to lease a piece of equipment that I have no need for or want.

    I recently had issues with our cable service at home. Contact 1 - I called the 800 number and was unable to resolve the technical issue remotely. The online tech support said to either call back to arrange a service call or take all the equipment to my local Comcast Center for replacement. Cable reception got even worse following. Contact 2 - I called for a service. At that time, I could not get through to arrange service - nothing but recorded messages. Contact 3 - I headed over to the local Comcast Center and arranged for a tech to come to the house.

    Contact 4 - A tech shows up. He's awesome. He explains that every bit of Comcast equipment is faulty and proceeds to repair or service Comcast Equipment. The modem is not within acceptable range. The exterior box is not weather proof and needs to be replaced. The splitter in the attic is not up to bandwidth compliance and needs to be replaced (and is not even an approved Comcast product - which a previous tech installed).

    Comcast bill arrives.... Comcast wants me to pay $70 for a "trouble call". At no time did any representative of Comcast tell me there was a fee for fixing their own equipment (which by the way - I lease from Comcast). 4 separate occasions and not one person explains or reveals the existence of the fee. Contact 5- I call call Comcast. Again - the wait time is prohibitive. Contact 6 - I get in my car and drive to my local Comcast Customer Service Center. I walk in. I was greeted by Customer Service Agent who asks - "how can I help you?” I explain - I am here to talk to someone about my bill. She hands me a number and tells me to wait until I am called. 20 minutes later - it's my turn. I walk up to the counter and explain what has been going on. The Agent continues to ask me questions about what has happened to date. Then he drops the bomb - "we don't handle billing here - you have to call head office about a credit".

    Contact 7 - I call Comcast again. Finally after waiting for 10 minutes I get to speak to Leslie - my "Customer Service" Agent. I'm thrilled to finally get a human being. Leslie quickly reviews my account. Without skipping a beat - she explains the fee is legitimate. I ask her why I am being charged to service her equipment. She explains that perhaps it was Customer abuse and I must understand her side of the story. I was shocked and offended that after all of this (7 separate occasions) Comcast was telling me that I abused their equipment.

    Tongue and cheek part - Clearly I adjusted the modem settings to render it dysfunctional. Clearly I installed a substandard exterior box. Clearly I installed a bad piece of equipment - the splitter in my attic. She refused to speak any further about the matter. So I asked for her supervisor. I had to hang up after being on hold for 45 minutes and no end in sight.

    My question - as a Consumer without a viable option for replacing their product - what do I do? Where do I go? If I don't pay the bill - it goes to collections. How many Customers will be messed over by this monopoly? Clearly Comcast doesn't care about its customers. What kind of business can charge to lease their equipment and then turn around and summarily charge to repair it!

    Should be called comcrap. Five computers crashed due to a password protected box. We did not password. No outgoing line on phone. Wanna call 911 you can not. No help. No service. They are junk. Pay a bill and get nothing. Same show on TV for years. Got basic but being billed for over 200.00 a month. What a joke comcrap is.

    I have been a long time Comcast service user. I was buying a new house. I called in November to get a plan to transfer service since I was moving in December. Was told it was all worked out, all my equipment would transfer over, service would stop at the old house and start at the new house on Jan 2nd. Well of course non of that happened. When I tried to install the new boxes, none of them worked, the Internet did work. The service was still on at the old house as well, I was promised I would not charged, but of course I was.

    When I called about the service at the new house I was told that I had to exchange my boxes. So I waited an hour at the Comcast office, finally arriving at the desk to be told that they should work fine and I didn't need to exchange them at all. I once again called Comcast, received a 20$ credit for my time wasted, then was told because of this they would send out a technician free of charge. I asked to get that in writing and they refused. So the cable guy came, quickly was able to install the device, but had an attitude when I asked him to make sure that all of the cable spots in the room were functioning as I didn't want to go through this process again. Nonetheless it was finally installed.

    I was also told that I would receive a security system for free. When this guy came, late I should add, he said that he would have to redo the entire system that was currently there and in that process disconnect the smoke detectors or be charged an additional 200$ to install their smoke detectors. So now I know why they state its free, because they train their technicians to sell more products or make a home unsafe by disconnecting smoke detectors. So Comcast security was totally okay with leaving my home unprotected in the case of a fire. To me, that is extremely irresponsible and unethical as a company.

    I asked this gentleman to leave my home immediately and cancelled that service. Well after paying my bills always on time and being a reliable consumer, I received a bill today with a 50$ charge for the installation of the cable, even though I was told I would not be charged. When I called, they said I did get the credit of 20$ because the installation was actually 70$, it's just not reflected on the bill. They refused to remove that charge and refused to credit my account the first 20$ that I was promised.

    This is such poor service. They lie. They try to sell you things that will cost you extra although described as free or leave your home unsafe by dismantling the smoke detectors. I'm at a loss for words as to how disappointed I am with a company that charges so much and yet is unwilling to fully assist you in mistakes they should be taking responsibility for. I can't wait till there is a better option out there and I can ditch Comcast and their poor customer relations and evil marketing strategies.

    Unprofessional swindlers! I disconnected my business lines as our home business was no longer in tack. I disconnected our home landline and only wanted wifi. I was sent a contract to disconnect the lines and was unaware it would bind me to run my wifi through Comcast Business instead of Comcast Residential. I was not told of the price difference between the two and did not read the contract. My bad. I was told it was to be signed to disconnect the lines.

    I did not realize I was signing up for a two year contract costing me much more than if I had used only their residential service. I have contacted them three times in attempts to switch over to the residential service but they have become downright nasty in explaining I am stuck in this contract and would have to pay it off over $2000 to get out of it! Stay away from Comcast Business! There are plenty of other great service providers out there.

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

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