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

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

    Refuse to give you another $1 of my hard earned money. Not only are their services limited and unreliable. They are rude, will rip you off on your bill if you do not pay attention to it, and make promises for reimbursement in return is just another lie. Everyone has had some type of unfortunate encounter with a Comcast representative. I have never had so many issues with them like I've had since we started in Aug 2014. I entered a ticket for what the Comcast rep called a safety issue that would be handled within a 24 hr time period. The wind had knocked the wire from the outside of my house and it was lying across my yard, the street and neighbor’s yard.

    I had to call 3 times to check the status of an appointment because they failed to tell me a time other than the 24 hrs. Each person I spoke to was offensively impolite with all disregard to my problem. After 25 hrs of waiting I received a call from a woman telling me that someone came out and fixed the problem said they had 2 other reps from Comcast try to contact me but I did not respond. (I told them all 3 times that I had NO service including phone). Once I told the woman no one has been to my house and everything was still the same way. I began to get frustrated bc her ignorance to the situation. She began to raise her voice to me stating she wasn't the one I originally spoke to and she don't know why the logs say that the problem was fixed.

    The customer service from these people is by far the most unethical. They arrived 26 hrs after first ticket, they proceeded to tell me that it's not their wire it's Verizon's. So that just means when I paid for the installation they never installed the proper wiring for my service. Finally they fixed the problem but couldn't have the professionalism to knock on my door and tell me that everything should be working. They left with the wire still laying in my yard, the street, and neighbor’s yard along with a big metal connector with sharp ends on it in my driveway. I can not see how a big cooperation can be so inconsiderate with a loyal customer.

    I need to call them monthly for at least something. They overcharged me in November over $200 and when I called about that they left me on hold for 45 mins then the person that did finally answer heard my issue and put me on hold AGAIN without telling me for another 30 mins. The next woman to get on the phone refused to get a supervisor because she was handling the situation and it wasn't needed. When I finally received the statement for the reimbursement it was broken down on 5 pages with -$0.10 credits. Who credits someone like that? It didn't even add up to what they owed me. Very conniving.

    Comcast must be the most incompetent company I've ever dealt with!!! I never write these types of reviews, but I already wasted so much time with Comcast, that I may just as well waste more to let others know to stay away from them if they don't want to be frustrated by their incompetency and lack of customer service.

    I had their cable/internet service at the previous address and moved. They scheduled a technician to hook up service. I had to stay home from work. He came but told me he was the wrong guy, because the house needed a rewire, but he'd put in a ticket. Nobody contacted me, so I called customer service a few days later. They said a technician is already scheduled for tomorrow. So I stayed home from work again. The technician came and, incredibly, told me the same thing: that he's the wrong guy and that Comcast needs to send somebody from another department to do a "rewire." He said he'd put in a ticket and to call the next day to confirm.

    I called the next day, but they couldn't find anything. I spent about 3 hours on the phone trying to reach the right group to schedule a rewire and get free backup wifi service from them in the meantime. They said I'd have to call another department to get the backup wifi service. So I did; only to have that other department tell me that I can't get free wifi service because I don't have Comcast service. I tried to explain that I didn't have Comcast service because they sent the wrong technician TWICE. They said I had to talk to another department and connected me. After being on hold for 30 minutes, the person from the other department told me I would have to call the wifi department. I told them that's who I talked to earlier. So they told me they couldn't do anything, but recommended to call a different department the next day to schedule the rewire job.

    I called that other department the next day and, after 30 minutes on the phone, found somebody who seem to know what's going on. They said they'll schedule the rewire technician to come by in a week. That's today. So I just received a call from Comcast early, saying the technician will be coming 1.5 hours late (after the 2-hour window they gave me). Out of caution, I asked them if the technician is coming to do the rewire job. They then told me NO! Their group doesn't do any rewire jobs and that needed to be done by the rewire group at Comcast. I just about lost it!!! The service person said they'll call the Comcast rewire group, put me on hold for 15 minutes, and said somebody from over there would call me right away to schedule a rewire appointment. That was an hour ago.

    CAN ANYBODY BELIEVE THAT??? I'VE NEVER DEALT WITH A COMPANY WHO SHOWED THAT LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE, DYSFUNCTIONALITY, AND TOTAL DISRESPECT OF THEIR CUSTOMERS' TIME!!!!

    I signed up for Comcast's xfinity internet and cable TV. Internet was slow. I could not stream videos online. I called customer service. They said let the video upload first, then watch it. The cable TV reception was poor. We could not watch movies on cable without losing a picture (any movie any channel). I called customer service; they restarted the equipment and told me to wait for 2 hours then use it again. Restarting the equipment did not help.

    On 1/24/15, 2 weeks after I installed the service, I called Comcast and canceled all services. They have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. Customer service assured me that I will not owe anything because I canceled services prior to 30 days ended. Approximately two weeks after cancellation, I got a statement which claimed that I did not return their equipment and had to pay for the equipment and services that I canceled. On 2/8/15, I called Comcast; a representative told me that he saw that there was an incorrect charge on my account and he will correct my balance.

    On 2/11/15, I got 2 phone calls from collection agency. Followed by 3 more phone calls on 2/12 and 2/13. I want to emphasize that, according to the statement, my first and only due date is 2/27/15. Comcast sent my account to collection before the due date! I would have never expected this treatment from any company. Comcast truly exceeded my expectations by providing awful services and inappropriate treatment. My balance was supposed to be 0 because I canceled the services within 30 days of customer satisfaction guarantee period and returned the equipment.

    I also called Comcast on 2/14/15 and a representative told me that they will correct my balance. I called Comcast today, 2/20/15, and I was told that my balance has not changed. I was also told that they cannot see why my balance did not change because their system does not work today. I asked why they send accounts to collection prior to their due date. The representative answered, "we always send accounts to collection as soon as someone cancels the account" (paraphrase).

    I wanted to share my experience because I am hoping that some people will read this prior to signing up for Comcast's services. I do not want anyone to go through the treatment that I am going through.

    I had been a customer of Comcast for 8 years and until we moved we had not experienced much in the way problems with internet and On Demand. When we moved into our new house we started getting intermittent internet connections. We also started having problems with On Demand access. Every time we had a problem Comcast said they couldn't duplicate it and there was nothing wrong with the service.

    What finally made me decide to move to another service was that I decided to pay my bill early. It showed as an option on the website even though I was enrolled in Auto Pay. Well a few days later they deducted the payment again from my checking account. When I called they said that I would have had to cancel my enrollment in Auto Pay before paying early. It said nothing about that on the website. It took them 3 weeks to process the refund to my account.

    I cancelled my service on January 29th. On February 9 they deducted another month's payment from my account. Then they sent me a bill with a credit on it for a partial month rather than just deducting what I really owed them for for the February 9th bill. When I called to see when I was going to get my money back, I was told that it takes 4-5 weeks. That's ridiculous that they will have had my money for a total of 2 months. I would look at other providers first before doing anything with Comcast.

    I had decided to bundle my phone, Internet and cable in order to reduce the separate amounts I was paying for all three. Comcast contacted me about this and I was on the phone with a representative for 30 minutes just to find a plan that could work for me. We arrived at a $180 monthly bill, still high but better than what I was paying. At no point was I told the bundling would create additional one-time charges, replace my existing DVR box and remove HBO from my channels.

    When I called back another representative found that if I had just added HBO, my monthly bill would be lowered to $159 monthly. We did so and I was content until I received my monthly bill, which was for $302: $159 for the services I wanted, and $143 in fees for bundling, none of which I was informed about. I called and went through a variety of representatives before being told that it would take a week to review the phone call in which I made these changes to verify if I was correct in saying I was not informed.

    That would have been bad enough but then the following Saturday the cable/DVR box stopped working, and I spent an hour on the phone with the reps to fix it. None of the attempts worked. They wanted to send a technician to look at the problem but I would pay $50 for the visit. Moreover, who can stay home from work all day to await a service tech? I have a kind retired neighbor who will do these things for me, but this isn't my only utility or service need, and I can't take advantage of her kindness. Finally, after removing the box from its connections, I managed to get the cable box to work again until Tuesday, when it stopped again. I managed to get it working again until Saturday, and nothing I did or the Comcast reps did could get it to work again. It was suggested I take the box back to the local office and exchange it for another.

    On Monday, with Presidents' Day off, I went to the office to exchange the box but the office had closed due to inclement weather, while all other utilities and many other businesses were still open. While I was there, another customer showed up for similar reasons. A repair truck from Comcast pulled in only to tell us what we knew, that they were closed. As we gave him our complaints, he literally rolled up his window and drove away in mid-conversation. I managed to get the box working once again, but noticed that I hadn't had any phone calls on my landline. I checked it, and it hadn't been working the entire time. In addition, my wifi always has to reboot when I start using it, instead of being on constantly the way wifi works!

    There is no one to appeal to at Comcast, and every bit of service costs you more. The reps are all patently nice and polite as they inform you the company has no flexibility whatsoever. Clearly they are trained to be pleasant in all situations, but they are never helpful. It's like talking to a person wearing a constantly fake smile as they hold you at gunpoint.

    I've yet to hear back from Comcast about my bundling call, which I have no doubt will be found in their favor. I've yet to figure out how to get money back for having no phone service and spotty cable TV at best. Without competition and regulation, the cable companies are holding consumers hostage, and Comcast is the kingpin of the gang.

    I negotiated a new contract with Comcast cable because my 99 plan became close to $200 over a period of a year. For the third time they will tell you that I was on a special that I never signed up for. When I called to cancel Comcast cable the supervisor came on the phone to convince me Tuesday they will give me a $99 plan for 2 years and my bill will not go up. I agreed. I received after one year of being in a two year contract bills with taxes $119 only lasted a couple of months. I notice my bill went up three more dollars. So I was paying $122.00. By the time I could call them in the next two days I received a bill stating that I owe 124.00 next month. While talking to an agent she stated that they are allowed to raise my bill while being in a two year contract. He referred me to the next person who told me I did not have a contract.

    Who referred me to a lead person who told me that I was in a contract but they are not raising the price on my cable deal but they are raising the price on my modem? So my bill will not be $124 it will go up to 126 because they are charging an extra $2 on the modem. I am trying to figure out how my $99 plans went up to a hundred and twenty six dollars on a $2 modem increase. Looks like I am back on my way to a 200 dollar phone bill with my $99 2 year contract plan.

    I have been battling with trying to get service from Comcast. I have been transferred, hung up on, disconnected and treated horrible. Every time you call back the person says "I am sorry" but does the exact same thing the previous rep did. They can't effectively troubleshoot the problem, then sent out a tech. who said they would come back because they had another place to be and that was after a no show the day before. Got my bill and they had the gall to charge ME for a tech. who did not fix the issue.

    I called to get the issue resolved. No luck the first four attempts, I was blind transferred, hung up on and then finally with a supervisor who (after me explains in detail on how my service had not worked properly) refused to credit me for the service call. I finally had to ask for my service to be severed and then .....oh they couldn't refund me. Really I have spent so much time trying to fix the issue that I finally had to terminate service after calling, using the chat, and then in person at a retail office. I think Comcast owes me for all my time and effort.

I pay for Preferred the small boxes in my room only provide me with the Starter package channels due to box limitations (I was told the only difference for the "cheaper" boxes is NO on demand or channel guide). I got over it and one day I was watching tv and the tv stopped working with a message "One Moment Please Channel will be available shortly Ref S0a00". I called tech support they couldn't do anything. They mentioned they HAD to send out a tech "on-site" and they MAY or MAY NOT charge me 70 dollars for the visit. I told them I didn't do anything wrong mess with the cables or do anything and they still wouldn't change their mind. The ONLY option I had was to subscribe to the insurance for like 5 dollars per month to not pay for future tech visits. How does this help? I'm looking into Dish and Directv now.

    When I was with Comcast they coerced me to set up two accounts so I went from just Residential to Residential and Business. My bill skyrocketed and I was double charged for things like the phone, which was on both plans but bundled, so I paid for it twice. I had so many problems with them and because of the cost I switched to another vendor. I just received a bill this morning for $3,027.78 and I was floored, to say the least. I called them as soon as I could and discussed this with them and they did not budge. When I ended service with them I was not told about any loophole that would cost me this kind of money or I couldn't and wouldn't disconnect with them. The amount itself is incredibly high, even if in the fine print, which most people trust and don't read, if they are like me. The charge was over $2,500 and I suppose late fees incurred as I don't remember getting a bill or didn't open their campaigns to get me back until this morning.

    Compared to the average household income they are taking about 8% of annual income or one month's income for most people. This is flat morally/ethically wrong to have any company rape you like this. It is usury and not at all within reasonable limits. Signed, Disgusted with Comcast and their BUNDLING??? service???

    I am so angry at COMCAST. No wonder their customer service reviews are horrible. I went to pay my bill online today, and it said that I wasn't an authorized user. Odd, because my name is the only one on the account and my social security number, etc. Somehow they screwed up and listed Chad (who they have no information on) as the Authorized user. I explained that I had this service when Chad moved in, and we added him only with an email address, but I pay the bill and am the only one listed on the bill. Seems pretty simple. So how come when I go to pay my bill, Chad's email address is the authorized user, and they won't accept my online payment.

    I first spoke with a man named Eugene (extremely poor English skills), and after 40 minutes, he said he couldn't help me unless I changed Chad's email address!? I say no way. I had an appointment, but when I returned, I called back and spoke with Sherry, in Billing (who was the only person who was kind) and she escalated it to Jim in Pennsylvania - **. She said that she would warm transfer me and also explain to her Supervisor what was up. She did neither. Jim said well there is nothing I can do unless you change his password.?? I said, I know his password because I set up his account, but I would never sign in. That would be intrusive and he has a password that he likes. Why would I need to do that? He cannot explain..

    I ask for a Supervisor and am told they will call me back in 24 hours. Ok, then I make one last attempt to fix it, because now, he claims he put me as the primary person (so I can pay them), but when I went to log on, guess what, I'm not allowed access and it no longer shows Chad's email as a user on my account. OMG, so I am at this point very upset. He says he can transfer me to Tech. Ok, called in and got JAN (a man who spoke extremely poor English) who didn't even let me get 1 minute into explaining and I was disconnected. I called again and got RJ, and he put me on hold in the middle of a sentence, not advising me.

    I had asked for a new installation and activation of their triple play (tv/internet/phone). This person had no clue, he started in attic because he said that the wires were coming down the walls. He obviously doesn't know that houses today come pre-wired. After about 3 hours he got the tv and internet going, but has now lost the phones. He said that he would go outside to see about the phones, instead he got in his van and took off. Comcast said that the best they could do was 2 weeks to come back out. It was then I ripped out the entire installation, and then found out that not only did he not complete the install, but had lied and said it was done and had scheduled a time for the lines to be buried. He also had broken the outside phone box lock and just left it wide open, so any rain, snow, etc could now get into it and cause more problems.

    Everyone who reads this... DO NOT... Please DO NOT... subscribe to Comcast. They are the worst cable company I have ever dealt with in my life. I moved to Oregon over two years ago and found that Comcast is the only cable provider (other than Dish and DirecTV but I've heard satellite does not do good in Oregon winters and high winds). We have had Comcast since November 2012 and moved to a new location in June 2014 and had our Comcast services transferred... or so we thought.

    I found an alternative to cable TV, I decided to subscribe to Hulu Plus because in my opinion it was better and cheaper than cable TV. My bill with Comcast was $133.00 monthly with cable (digital starter), home phone and internet. I contacted them via chat and asked how much it would be to just keep the internet and the representative told me the price and that I would pay an early termination fee because I was still under a contract. Umm what? We have had Comcast for over two years already and we were not informed that we still had a contract? So long story short, when we moved in June 2014, instead of transferring our services to the new address, they put us under a NEW contract, WITHOUT OUR APPROVAL OR AUTHORIZATION!

    I was livid! I did NOT sign any paperwork stating I wanted a new contract, I didn't even have to sign anything to transfer over the services to my new address! I told the representative this and said I wanted this resolved. They put me on hold for a few minutes, came back on and said "I see in your account that you were not notified of a new contract and it was only supposed to be a transfer, I apologize for that". So then the ** went back to my initial inquiry and just completely IGNORED the fact that something was WRONG! I totally went off! I was so mad. I wrote some angry stuff at the end (no vulgar language or anything, and that's surprising coming from me!). I basically said Comcast is the worst company in the world and their customer service is 10x horrible. I printed out the chat transcript and will take it to my local Comcast store and speak to someone in person. This WILL be resolved whether they want to deal with it or not!

    First off, this idea of a publicly access wireless gateway is a REALLY bad and terrible idea. Too many security and potential LEGAL issues. Unfortunately, I was force to "upgrade" to the XFINITY wireless gateway. It took "an act of congress" and I am still not convinced that that portion of the gateway is turned off. Very bad idea, indeed. Because I was forced to use this wireless gateway, Comcast has charged me an extra 145 on my most current bill. RIDICULOUS! I did all the work and they have the nerve to charge me extra??!!! I am not impressed at all.

    I have had nothing but problems with Comcast 'xfinity', not only with customer service (or lack thereof) but with Comcast's refusal to all paying subscribers to stream to wifi devices such as Roku. Their competition has no problem doing this, yet Comcast refuses to provide the equal service of their competitors. In my research, it's become apparent that in general terms, when you subscribe to Comcast, you are getting less service for more money. It's sad that in most areas, you only get once choice - if my area has Verizon FiOs, you bet I'd be switching. There needs to be serious change in how these companies are allowed to operate, open market competition is the answer. I love to see a la carte purchase options as well.

    Why does it take five appointments and a dozen calls to get service? I have had comcast for many years but they contract with untrustworthy technicians. On this day I have been waiting and given a third time for which I can expect the tech to come to my home. I haven't even taken into consideration all the snow we had had in Boston but everywhere I look I see XFINITY trucks but they will not come to my house. I had one lie and said he came but nobody answered the door. Fresh snow had been falling all morning and there were no tracks indicating that someone had been to the house but this is acceptable!

    So far to date I have been given $120 in credits for NO SHOW TECHS! Today as I sit here waiting since 7:30 am for my scheduled appointment slot of 8 - 10, 11 - 12 and this last time 1 - 1:30 the rep guaranteed me I would get installation today! I have spent countless hour waiting on tech to install my cable, phone and Internet. If there were a better cable supplier I would go with them but I heard horror stories about Directv, RCN and Verizon.

    This time I got the required cable box and it was packed without the power cord or the HDMI cables. The box did not work and I spent over 3 hours with the representatives trying to activate it. Some of the 5 people I talked to gave long explanations of paragraphs length when 1 sentence would have explained the problem. Finally I was sent to the activation department 3 times including a 15 minute wait to see if the box would turn on when the final customer representative told me "Not to worry, I will go back to store and get a new box." I was told to make sure it was tested before I bring it back home. If you are in a monopoly situation, check everything before you leave the store. This is not AT&T folks.

    I can save Comcast the trouble of utilizing feedback technology to gauge what they are doing wrong with the company service. Just provide the exact same service as AT&T. When I had it, the box never failed and the picture never went out. The customer service people were actually trained and quickly had the answers. They came that day to set up the service where the cables don't spill out, because we have to have cables all over the place since they can get several more times the money from them than if we use wi-fi and no cables. The only problem is AT&T kept hounding me to pay for the maximum service and lied about the costs while avoiding my follow-up questions. Shame, shame, shame AT&T! Cost several times and that turned me off the company. But I guess I should have stuck with them.

Then on 06/09/14 I called about the channels were not the entire package I order and they were going to give me a free month, they never did. Then on 06/10/14 I called at 8:12 AM and spoke with Briana to cancel the service, she said she could not reimbursed me for anything, she told me to return the equipment, and I did, they made me go to one of their stores because I couldn't return it via mail.

    When I went to the store, I told them about some charges they made and that the installation was going to be refunded as a credit on my account (wrote on the contract by the sales guy) and they said that it was no possible because they only can assist with the equipment return and not that they cant assist with anything related with the charges on the bill, that I have to contact Comcast on the phone and explain the situation. Then on 06/17/14 at 6:48 PM I spoke with AJ, I called again about the charge when I saw the bill and they said they were not able to assist with this, I told him I can scan or fax the contract and they told me that it was not possible.

Then I spoke with the Supervisor (Jessica) at 9:26 AM and she said she was not able to find any notes about all the issues I had and there was nothing she could do because I call 4 days late to cancel the service and that they have to charge me for the full month and no reimbursement, I told her I can scan or fax the contract and they told me that it was not possible.

Later, I called to complain that I only got 5mbps every evening by using online speed test. My cable modem is brand new with docsis 3.0 requested by Comcast. One rep told me that I should get 25mbps. She sent a technician to my home. The technician told me that there is nothing he can help because there are too many people using the internet in our area (about 600-800). The internet is shared by everyone who is using the Comcast. I was supposed to receive 3 mbps up to 25. He also told me that he will not charge me the $70 service due to the customer service reps lack of the knowledge.

    A month later, I was charged the $70 service by my automatic payment. I called again. A rep told me that he will remove the $70 and upgrade my speed to 50 mbps without additional charge. He said that it would be effective in 20 minutes for me to have 50 mbps. Now a week later after I talked to the rep. I called Comcast again. The rep (name is Latoya) told me that she checked the conversation history, she found the notes to upgrade to 50 but never installed. I have to pay an additional fee to have upgrade. She didn't see any note about remove of $70. She said that the technician has to remove it and she has no way to find the technician. She said that she has a solution for me to upgrade to 50 by paying an extra. I rejected. I asked to talk to her supervisor. She said that my case is not qualify to escalate to supervisor.

I was given a quote for $134.99 and now my bill has more than tripled to $400.00 in less than a month. The initial service tech that sold me the package told me that my bill would only up $10.00 if I upgrade to the 360 package. i asked him if there would be any additional fees he told me no, so I told him ok and then he came out to my house told me that he would not install my camera unless he could put them in my bedroom. I instructed him to leave or I would call the cops and he left. I notified Comcast of the issue and they told me they would have someone call me, no call and send another service tech to my house.

    The initial tech who I asked to leave called me personally from his cell phone and told me he was at my front door to install my services. I told him to get off my property or the cops would be notified, he left. I informed Comcast again of this incident. No call returned. Then a service tech was sent out only to get out here and not be able to do anything. He said, "Oh, I don't know how to install cameras. I only fix services," and then he left. A new service tech was sent out by the name of Demond and he installed 3 cameras and didn't mention any additional fees for coming out and I got my first bill from Comcast in august it was $1145.00. I almost fell out my chair. So i called Comcast every month from august 2014 until 02/2015. to get fees and stuff resolved. I was credited back some money, but not of which I do not owe.

    At the time I received the bill I told Comcast I didn't want any of the services anymore, they then told me I would not be able to cancel because my initial contract was not over. I asked when it was over, I was told 7.28.15, so I was going to try and wait it out until now. I speak to an service rep on 2.10.15 and was told my contract is not going to be over until 2017. like **!; which means my contract was extended another 2 years. I am pissed. I was lied to regarding the fees and then Comcast goes and renews my contract without my knowledge and tells me if I cancel I will owe them over 1000 dollars to get out of contract since it's been renewed.

    I am not satisfied with the behavior of their employees, the fact that they lie to their customers just to make money. I am an single mother with a 2 year and taking care of my disabled brother. I don't have money to spend 400 a month on cable when it's not going to put food on my table or take care of my household. I told them they need to take me out of this contract because i was highly bamboozled and this is not appropriate. I am highly pissed and I am not happy about this ** outrageous bill. I am tired of this ** and obviously if they had looked at my bills they would know I never payed that much.

    I am so over Comcast and would never recommend them to anyone. I told the representative that if they can't cancel my contract they renewed without telling me, I would have to consult with an attorney and go to the news. She told me go ahead so that's going to be my next step. I have never been this stressed in my life over some cable, so over Comcast.

I called to inquire about cutting back at least a few of my premium channels, and they said I would see the rate on the other channels go up, leaving me with the same monthly bill. The CSR was rude, and he obviously didn't care about my needs as a customer. In my opinion they are becoming the worst type of monopoly!

    Worst customer service ever. Took over 2 weeks for them to send a service technician out after calling every day and when they do they charged me $50 for doing something they're supposed to do in the first place. After talking on the phone for 30 minutes, finally settle for a $40 credit. They are still getting $10 out of me that I don't owe.

    Do not use Comcast. Their customer service is worse than being mugged. I asked for supervisor 4 times and was transferred back into random departments 4 times 2 of which were located in states where they could not even view my information. I had 3 associates from Comcast promise and assure me they would call me back that day and received no call each time. I had a supervisor call me back during the times I told the previous associate I would be at work. I called the number they left me and got no answer each time I called. Comcast is beyond horrible with customer service. If their goal is to deflect you until you quit they've perfected it... The tenacity needed to get a problem fixed with them is outrageous. Not to mention the multiple appts they have missed. I cannot wait to switch my service provider. I would take basic cable over all Comcast features at this point.

    Comcast has no integrity of their business and do not make customer satisfaction guaranteed. When I moved locations I got a new account number and sent in my final payment of my old address. 10 days later they had not received a payment so I called and a representative said I didn't have an outstanding balance. After I asked several times to make sure she was understanding me correctly I said okay and canceled my check.. The following week my check came in and it came back to them as a returned check so it showed I had an unpaid balance as well as a penalty fee.. It was then turned over to a collectors agency and I started getting numerous phone calls. When I called Comcast multiple different times each representative said they didn't see an unpaid balance.

    I, then, went into a local Comcast store and he saw the unpaid balance. After speaking to a supervisor she was very helpful and just said I needed to pay it to get them to stop calling, so I did. I ended up canceling my account, because they have no integrity and their employees never tell me the same thing.. A couple weeks later I get a refund check of that amount so I figured it was a mistake on their part..

    Two months later I get calls again saying I have an unpaid balance and after explaining to them all the steps I have been through and done nothing wrong and everything is their error, they will not credit the money on my account because it is an unpaid service that I used.. They would rather have an unsatisfied customer and bad reviews than to take the blame for their mistake and credit the less than $200 bill. They probably need all the money they can get because they are running out of "satisfied customers."

    Since being a Comcast subscriber in September of 2014, the speeds I have paid for have never been what has been promoted. I usually let it slide because speeds can be an ever-changing and difficult thing technologically speaking. However, there are moments in my service, say, for two weeks or more where I will experience speeds so slow the internet is actually unusable and will in fact go out of service on and off. This will make the internet for those weeks completely unusable at times and probably takes up the better part of 50% of the time it is acting up.

    Recently, the internet in my apartment has been dreadful. I tried to take action by calling 1-800-COMCAST. After going through all of the options, it hung up on me. Time and time again. That number doesn't work at all for me. I then tried calling 1-800-XFINITY. The same things happened. I had to resort to restarting my modem and calling their OK-BEGIN line. I was disconnected, and not contacted back.

    Frustrated with the absolutely unnecessary trouble I had to go through with simply getting a hold of them by phone, I reported to technical support online. The first person I received technical support from spend half of the time trying to legitimately fix my problem, and the other half trying to push a promotion on me. Desperate for faster speeds I accepted the promotion and got what I believe was a 105mbps speed (this is very fast and should absolutely guarantee flawless internet for myself and my two roommates).

    The internet worked well for about 2 hours after the online technical support. And then it went back to its same routine of not only not delivering the promotional speeds, it stopped working all together. Infuriated, I tried another online technician. It was extremely difficult to conduct this because my internet was going in and out of service. Finally, the technician changed channels and then asked me to close my browser, expect for her message box, and then reopen it, deleting all cookies and then testing my speed. I was disconnected with her during this process (of course) and from then my internet was a sad sad story.

    I then FINALLY made a call to Comcast that was answered by way of running across a blog where someone talked about their ok, we're on it number where there is no wait. I spoke with an absolutely incompetent representative who didn't know the number for wireless support and then simply transferred me. On the phone with wireless support, the worker tried to resolve my issue with me and after failing to resolve it, said that my only two options at that point were to either have a technician come out, exchange my modem, or both.

    So the next morning I took Chicago Public transit all the way down to their office on North Ave. The woman who "helped" me....absolutely atrociously rude. Hands down the worst experience I have had with a representative, dare I say....anywhere. I eventually exchanged modems and came back home. After activating my new modem I tried then to connect my own personal router to it because the Xfinity modem/router all-in-one box signal does not reach my entire apartment, but a 20 dollar router from Amazon does.

    In the process of trying to connect my router to the now functioning internet (still at only 15mbps when I am currently paying for 105mbps) the router would not connect. I called the Wifi support line number, and NEW number that was on the bottom of my receipt. It worked. Thank God. The person I spoke to was simply awesome, actually. His name was Joel, I wish I had asked for his last name. He may have sounded Eastern European or something. Anyways, he worked with me on the phone for over 2 hours (this is not an exaggeration, I logged the call time), to try and figure it out.

    He came to the conclusion that is this: I am currently getting "ping boot file shows cdv only" when I should be getting, "ping boot file shows wide band.” He contacted billing to see what internet I was paying for to confirm that I should be getting wide band. After helping me uncover this information he then set up a technician time for one to come out and see as he can't hash this out. He gave me a ticket number with the notes he took.

    He was the only positive thing during this whole unnecessary first-world saga. His help actually inspired me to be a better person in general, because he GENUINELY WANTED TO HELP ME. He never pushed any promotions on me and just tried to figure the problem out. So now....it is currently 5pm central time in Chicago on February 9th, 2015. The technician was scheduled to come anywhere from 3-5pm. I just received a call from Comcast saying that, "the technician is running behind and will be here anytime after 5pm.” Yes, that is literally the message that was relayed to me. "...any time after 5pm.”

    I made a two hour pocket of time in my day WHEN I COULD HAVE BEEN WORKING, to accommodate this BS. And they can't even properly follow through.

    So now I am waiting in my apartment for a "sometime after 5..." arrival. I am not even going to proofread what I just typed because I am actually, legitimately tired from mentally processing all of the BS I have been through with this company.

    That is why I titled this complaint like that in the subject line. Because not only do they have bad customer service. THEY DON'T HAVE GOOD PEOPLE WITH MORALS AND STANDARDS WORKING FOR THEM. Aside from Joel, who I still regret not getting the full name of, this company has actually been the worst I have ever, ever, ever dealt with. I work too. I have a limited income. Of that work, a lot of it has to be done on my home internet. The internet is necessary to me. And Comcast has the balls to absolutely not only give me the finger as a customer, but as a person.

    My service went out on Saturday Jan. 30, called CSR and they said ck connections like a typical scripted response. Connections don’t unscrew by themselves. It was working Friday night. Then they said it was not on their end it must be a defective DVR player. The next day (Super Bowl Sunday) it worked fine all day. I decided to follow up and downgrade to HD box instead of DVR in case the problem was intermittent. I was mislead years ago to have 3D function, this upgrade was necessary. I later found out only a few stations are broadcasting in 3D, because it has to be filmed in 3D. O.k. I’ve been paying ten dollars extra for three years for nothing. Technician said it was not his job to explain recording functions or even offered online instruction availability.

    I returned the DVR box Sat. Feb. 7. Person assured me, just connect coaxial cable to input and HDMI port to TV then wait 30 minutes to activate new box. I followed instructions and no signal. Again the same dude said the scripted response, and wanted to schedule a technician the following Tuesday, and only if box was defective would there be no charge otherwise 30-50 dollars. I figured it out myself and now it works. They did not go in to rewiring due to Blue Ray device, and surround sound. I was fuming for an hour trying different combinations, and now it works. However I want to take this opportunity to vent my frustration.

    First you have people that barely speak English talking to customers. All they know is apologize and send a technician. If not for my diligence and electronic experience, a person would have been out of luck until next week and wiring changes would have cost 50 dollars. I know that’s good for the corporate profit, but what about customer happiness dealing with your company? Not wanting to be less than constructive in my criticism, perhaps a duty technician could have talked me through on the phone.

    Let me first say that I left Comcast 3 years ago because their customer service was so poor. But, with internet and satellite from two different providers, the allure of faster internet and lower cost (locked in for 2 years) was quite alluring. They also had a 30 day guarantee which made this seem too good not to try. I went to the local Xfinity store to set up an installation. At the time, I made it clear to the sales person that I would not be porting my phone number off of AT&T until I was sure that all other services were working well. They said this was no problem and I was set for installation on the next Sunday.

    On the Friday the installation, I came home to three messages on my answering machine. The first from an automated system saying there was a problem with the install and I needed to call ASAP. The second from a frantic sounding CSR saying I needed to call Comcast immediately and the third from an automated system telling me that the install was cancelled. All three calls came in within a 3 hour window.

    In the evening, I called their toll-free number. It should be noted that I was unceremoniously disconnected at three different points during a 2-hour ordeal through Comcast hell. When no one could tell me why the install was disconnected, I asked to be transferred to the disconnection department. I found someone competent who was able to explain that they could not install the service without a phone number and what they would have to do was assign a temporary number and then perform the porting of the home phone later. They spent another 45 minutes on the phone with me to setup an emergency installation for Sunday afternoon and we said our good-byes.

    Sunday afternoon came and went and no one came. I called at the end of the Window only to be told that they had no installation scheduled. I let this sit for a week as I was going on vacation and resumed my attempt to trial the service in the new year (2015) [now, against my wife's better judgement]. However, now that I *knew* what the installation personnel needed to do, it certainly helped me tell them how to get it right. And I did get it installed. So what that I had an orange cable draped across my lawn.

    The internet was an order of magnitude better than AT&T, but the video was poor. I found that the video was leading the audio by 50-100ms, enough to cause a bit of brain confusion and more than enough to cause disorientation in my daughter who reads lips to help her hearing deficit. Figuring that there was some QC which must have known, I waited a week but things still did not improve.

    Another hour on the phone and two CSRs later, I finally got connected to Tier-2/Headend support and I explained that there is no way to compensate for audio lab and the issue is in the transcoder. The Tier-2 CSR (Les) was fairly knowledgeable and found another similar ticket was logged a week and a half earlier and he linked them. We talked a few times in the following 3 days and I told them to read a recorded show off the box as an example of the lip-sync issue. A few days later, still no ETA, but they recognized there was a problem.

    Time to hang it up. About 3 weeks into my 30 day trial, I went to the Xfinity store where the odyssey started and asked if they could review the bill/extend the trial due to their issues (by now there were half a dozen tickets on my account). The sales person was very curt, saying essentially that I had only two options, pay full price or disconnect and that was it. No supervisor or anything. So, disconnect it was.

    Two days later, I brought in all the DVR boxes and cable modem and was shocked to see all the equipment thrown away (cables, power supplies, even the $3/month video box -- ok, that was a mistake but just an example of the continued carelessness). The attendant had never handled a disconnection within the 30 days, but after a supervisor came by, all was supposed to be done. However, they have no accounting responsibility so a ticket had to be created to close the account and zero the balance. This happened on 1/23/15. Five days later, I get a bill for $400+!!

    So, another call to CSR hell and I talked to someone and gave them the ticket number. I got some story that there were delays in the system (5 days?!) and that the account was now zeroed out. I thought that was it, until 2/5 -- when I get another bill. I noticed that Comcast is not affiliated with the BBB (what a shock). If Comcast should want to fix this, my email is **.

    The rep who handled my claim put my office building address down as my service address even though I told them the correct address multiple times. So when technicians arrived on install date they refused to install since wrong service address was on file. They also had all of the wrong equipment and were prepared to install the incorrect cable package (the rep and I agreed to a different one). So I was told to go to a Comcast service center and when you call there you are once again dealing with a automated system that directs you to more CS reps. Not anyone at the actual location so I can't be professional and set up a appointment. So now I run the risk of not being able to talk to anyone about my issue when I go into the service center.

    I HAVE NEVER DEALT WITH A MORE PATHETIC CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM IN MY LIFE. Is passing elementary school the only prerequisite for becoming a customer service rep at Comcast? Putting down a correct address would seem to be a pretty high priority but I guess that's too much to ask for.

    I moved to GA in July 2014, Comcast was the only service we could get at the property we were renting from. A tech came on 7/13/14 and was at my home for 4 hours, the box he had did not work and he said the service was not correct. The tech called customer service to get help to no avail. This tech came back on his own the next morning with a new box to try to fix the situation. Box worked but no HD service then he tried to figure out why we would get some channels and not others. Fast forward 4 months, YES 4 months, 2 more techs came to try to figure out the problem then I was told we had basic service and the channels that the previous techs and customer service rep were trying to fix we didn't even have. 4 months of headaches for no reason at all. That same month, my daughter's cable box just stopped working.

    Again call customer service and they tell me another tech needs to come and if it is our problem we would be charged for it. I said to the rep, the box worked yesterday and today it doesn't that's not my problem. 2 days later a tech comes, after I cancelled because after 24 hours of the box being disconnected I connected the box again and the box worked. The tech still gave me a new box because he didn't want the issue to happen again. Then the tech informed me that this issue happens all the time with Comcast. I let it all go not wanting to fight with Comcast. I moved to a new home on 1/1/15, and had the services transferred to my new location.

    I upgraded our services because my husband works from home and needs faster internet service. We took our previous boxes and basically did plug and play. 3 rooms worked without problems and one room did not work. I called Comcast to inform them, the rep scheduled a tech to come out to the house. In the meantime, a few days later there were 3 crews of Xfinity trucks in our neighborhood working on the utility poles. Next thing you know my daughter's cable box stops working. I called about 20 times and could not get through their phone lines, finally I get through to tell them and they tell me that there are no crews in the area. Basically telling me I'm a liar, but the tech that is coming will look at it all.

    Then after we upgraded our service our internet doesn't work. Several calls later, my husband decided to go to a location a get a new box to see if it would help. It didn't, we had to keep calling and kept going through testing, finally we spoke to someone competent and she fixed the internet problem with a flip of a switch. After trying several times again to reach someone I finally emailed Tom Karinshak's office. On 1/10 the tech came to our home to check our issues and he says that outside wiring on the utility pole was loose and this was the big issue. We were charged for the tech to come to our house to fix and issue that we have no control over. I informed the tech that there were crews working on the poles a few days prior. Again not wanting to fight I let it go, we were just happy to have services again.

    On 1/14 I received an email from Tom Karinshak's office saying that they saw the problems were fixed and we would receive a credit for all of our issues. On 1/22 I logged into Comcast online to pay our bill which was $14.83. Several days later we received a paper invoice form our previous location for a credit of $16.68. Today 2/4/15 I log onto the Comcast page to see if we received a new bill yet and I see my total bill due is $283.15 with a past due bill of $74.83. I'm in shock how could this be correct?

    So again I call this time calling the number listed on the bill 404-266-2278 but guess what the number doesn't even work, so why is it on my bill. So I call an 800 number and after 7 times of trying to get through I finally get to speak to someone who tells me my account was prorated and the amount due is correct. I asked how could I have a previous balance of $74.83 if I just paid $14.83 2 weeks prior? And if my upgraded services is only $120 a month how could a prorated bill be $283.15, the numbers do not add up.

    So I asked her to check into the credit I was told about from Tom Karinshak's office and the $16.68 credit from our previous location. She informed me that I received no credits. Instead they caught that I was billed twice for a tech to come visit so they credited back one of those charges. I said I don't understand why we would be charged at all since it was an issue with the wiring on the utility pole, but she insisted it has to be paid. The conversation with this rep was a complete fail, nothing was resolved. I tried calling back and still once I go through all of the prompts I get disconnected. So I have sent another email to Tom Karinshak's office to try to get to the bottom of this. I have until 2/6/15 to cancel without penalty which does not give me a lot of time to get this rectified. I am beyond frustrated with all of the issues with Comcast. Comcast truly has the worst service and worst customer service reps.

I called Comcast several times to find out why and was told person before me had balance due on account now they tell me after going to a store to prove I am not that person, that I have to pay that bill to be able to get service. I think it crazy that I suddenly have to be responsible for a bill that wasn't in my name or have anything to do with me. Unfortunately, I am probably going to have to do it because where I am, I don't have any other options for internet services. Really sad how cable companies can do this.

    I've been a long Comcast customer, but unfortunately their service has gotten terrible. Comcast cannot get my phone to work and PBS stations don't work. Comcast talked me into triple play and I fell for it. Comcast says I have to reactivate my number with Vonage so that they can transfer it to Comcast. Gosh, they had two months to transfer my telephone number! The PBS stations stopped working last year, and after several calls they did get it working by increasing the power on their system to those stations. Last year they gave me complimentary HBO for all the trouble.

    The first of the year the same thing happened...the PBS stations are out again. And HBO is gone. Comcast states that HBO was complimentary for 6 months. Clearly not what they told me when they added it last year. It's sad where Comcast service is where it is. We don't have many choices where we are located. Hate to see how much worse it would get if Comcast merges with TW. They already act like a monopoly!

    Last Wednesday, while home recuperating from a severe arm injury, the buzzer on my apartment rang. The person who buzzed wouldn't identify himself. Nevertheless, I buzzed him in. Turns out he was the Comcast repairman. I advised him I didn't have Comcast service, and never had. After a brief argument, he took my word that I hadn't requested service, and departed. After about 2 hours or so, he buzzed me, and came up again. After a rather vociferous argument, he finally believed my statement that I NEVER had Comcast, and wouldn't have it even if they paid me to take it, and he left. He couldn't resist buzzing my apartment for a few times after he left, however. I guess he wanted to aggravate me, as he could plainly see that I was in pain from getting up and answering the door. Where does Comcast hire these employees? How could they screw up customer addresses so badly?

    Comcast has less than satisfactory customer service. The contract package I had with Comcast expired and I selected a new one. When I received my bill, I was overcharged for the new plan. I contacted Comcast customer service regarding an overcharge on my bill. It was resolved over the phone. I was given a lower correct amount to pay. Next month, the credit for the overcharge was added to my bill stating I had not paid my full amount. I called customer service regarding the issue and all the representative could do was re-read my bill to me over and over again. The representative was NEVER able to explain the situation. I told the representative I can read myself, but thanks for your time.

    I later found that during the transaction of changing from one contract to another, Comcast made an unauthorized credit check on me. This is a HARD check and reflected negatively on my credit report. I had worked 5 years to clear up my credit report. In January all negative reports were dropping off my credit report. NOW, I have a new negative mark on my credit report that will remain for 2 years. Highly upset with the way I was treated during my experience with COMCAST'S CUSTOMER SERVICE.

    On 12/17/2014 I contacted Comcast with the request to discontinue service on account #** effective 2/1/2015. On 12/18/2014 I received their response that there was an agreement with the expiration date of 2/1/2016. They stated that if I discontinue services prior to the expiration date they will file a law suit against my property. After that I requested a copy of the agreement and received such on 1/5/15. The agreement was written on 07/02/2006 between Comcast and Rewatt Inc., which a previous owner of my facility. My company, Integrated-1 Corp., purchased the property from Rewatt Inc. where cable service was provided. The purchase occurred in May 2007. I kept DBA name Dornoch Place Del Prado because of brochures and sign on the property.

    I never knew about contract and been paying on monthly basics for cable services. All statement from Comcast were coming in DBA name, and I was not aware that there was any contract and that the Rewatt Inc. was still attached to it. During the past few years, Comcast has increased its service prices repeatedly (from $15.26 per contract to $28.73 per unit). At this time, it is double the original amount I have to pay. I found more affordable provider, which is RetirementHomeTV with 5 years fix rate $12.38 per unit.

    Comcast representative referring me to Section 14 Assignability of the agreement between them and company, which have nothing to do with me. This paragraph states that the contract automatically rolls over onto the successors. It further states that 90 day notice of change must be filed. I have never received any notices from Comcast or Rewatt Inc. about their agreement, no representative has contacted me ever, and it is illegal for someone to sign me up for an obligation without my personal agreement. Comcast trying to make me responsible for someone else's obligation illegally. Proposed solution: we can enter into a new contract with Comcast if they can offer us competitive prices or they need to disconnect their services without any harassment.

I woke up this morning to find that the payment went through to my credit card along with another unauthorized payment of $209. I spent the day trying to get through to the billing department who told me that they would have to send "a ticket" to the finance department to have the unauthorized payment reviewed. When I asked to how long it would take to be reimbursed, they said they didn't know. When I asked to speak to someone in the finance department, they said that they couldn't connect me through.

    I've learned that if you ask too many questions, they just hang up the phone. After four phone disconnects in two weeks, I realized that must be how they are instructed to resolve a conversation.

After getting the bill I called and cancelled the service. The equipment that they said was free I was billed 9+ per each box. They drop the price for one. I had to call and point out that they were billing me from the day I request the service not the day I got the service. My bill being $75+ after I cancel the service I asked how much I would get back.

    The Department said that they were unable to answer that question because they don’t handle the billing. Meanwhile the Equipment recovery department which I call Dec 20 to return their equipment in the mail, said they would send me the return package in the mail. Call back Jan 6, the rep said no one send it. That she would put the request in again, call last week they said it would be here by Friday last.

    I'd like to say right off the bat that I hate Comcast service. First, you have to sign a contract. Then when that contract is up and you try to cancel, Comcast tries to tell you that you still have another year on your contract. Finally, once they see that you are not going to let them pull this crap on you, they agree to cut off the service and tell you that you will receive a partial refund for the unused service. End of story, right? WRONG!!! Now when you go turn in the equipment, they tell you that you owe more than $80 because a new billing period had started when they turned off your service. I WILL NEVER use this service again!!! My daughter won't subscribe either. She has gone through all this crap with me. I will use Dish or some other service where no contract is required.

    Amazing Comcast is so bad. I orchestrated online to have my service disconnected and reconnected at a new address, and I did get a confirmation number. And the service was "guaranteed" to happen and the price for the new service was at 79.99 per month. Well the service never happened and I even paid someone to stay at my house to be present when the Comcast man was to hook up the new service. And no one at Comcast could tell me anything. They could not find the order confirmation number. All they tried to do was have me hook up with a new service at $89.99 per month.

    I even provided the confirmation number and questioned the so called "guarantee". Turns out they have an "INTERNET" division and a direct "phone in" service that are distinct and do not offer the same deals and don't appear to recognize each other. This took about 1 month to sort out. Was one of the most discouraging things I have been through and I can tell you I have been through hundreds in the past few years.

    At one point I had a supervisor agree to the reduced rate of $79.99 only to find that that amount was never charge to my account and turn out to be $89.99. And amazingly they kept getting accounts mixed up and never did disconnect the old service for 5 weeks after the original order, and even after the new was connected. I spent 4 hours on the phone to reconnect the new service when it was supposed to be so easy as I was told. I got to the point I called the competition to get quotes on similar services.

    I was told over and over by so many Comcast people that things were being done or they would call me back, or turn a switch, only to find nothing was ever done. Now I told you probably only 50% of the crap, but this was a true “HORROR STORY”. Well no response and nothing but bull. This story goes on and on with at least 5 hours on the phone on 10 different attempts to figure this out. I was disconnected from 3 separate calls after waiting or being put on hold for at least 30 minutes. You don't know how mad I was. My girlfriend and other associates sure did.

I refused to pay telling them to check the recording of the conversation, but of course, that was not in their best interest. Eventually, I had to file a claim dispute.

The agent was very helpful by telling me that the whole mall was wired for Comcast and that it would be an easy, fast and effortless move, all I need to do was to electronically sign the request for transfer and authorize the move.. Out of caution I asked him to reveal what I would be signing in the "small print" such as was I not knowing signing into a new contract instead of a continuation of my current one. He answer by saying that was standard and yes I would be. To make matters worse when I looked at my email it gave the prices about $40 more per month for the service.

    When I called they say it's because those services are no longer available at those prices. I told them I had a contract for those prices and they said that they won't honor, I would have to either sign a new contract that would extend 14 months longer than what I'm on the hook for now and that I would have to pay the higher fee or if I left Comcast, I would have to pay an early termination fee. I have called corporate and they have put me in contact with other employees about 10 in all now. They all say the same thing in different wording. As it stands I can either pay extra in termination fees or pay extra in new contract fees but I can't have what my contract says. I have spent about 20 hours on this in the last 3 weeks. Help!!!!!!

Made phone call and every time they said it's either outage in the area or unplug the power and reset (done it more then 20 times before make some phone calls). After so many calls, customer service rep. said she will ship out new modem (wait for more then 2 weeks) never showed up. Keep using the same modem and worked okay so didn't bother to call for a while. Same issues again so made phone calls and they promised again to ship out the new modem.. over and over for 4 times. And then Jan. 22, 2015 (at this time I even got the confirmation number) rep told me that she will ship out the next day so I can receive pretty soon. Also I was complaint about the rate and she told me that she will give me the promotion rate of $19.99 for next 12 month as well as $49.99 credit for been all that inconvenience..

    3 days later I received a manual to install but no modem. Wait for another day and never showed up. So made phone call again around 6 pm and talked to 1st rep. She mentions that it's showing that shipped out but not showing that she ordered for next day so it might take a couple of more days. I wasn't happy but I got the ups tracking number and try to see where is at. After I hang up and checked that tracking number but it showed that it has been delivered yesterday (which is a manual) so I was pretty upset and called back and go through all that process again. Patiently wait and talked to second rep and she told me something made me so mad. She said it showed that whoever ordered first time just order a manual not the modem. I said what???

    So, long story short she ordered again saying that it will ship out tomorrow. After that I asked for some credit for all this bad services and she transfer to somebody else. So I had to explain all that story to her again and she said, "I'm sorry to hear that and let me talk to my supervisor," hold and hold... so far more than 1 hour passed by all total. She came back and said that "We can give you $20.60 credit for that inconvenience." After that I asked her to make a sure we are on the same page for the monthly rate and previous credit.

    I was so upset after she checked and said I don't see any note about the rate and credits. I was about to blow up. My patient are long gone by then. I asked her to talk to her manager and wait and wait again. Later on I talked to her supervisor and explain again. She told me all she can do $20 credit and that's it. I said, "What about the $19.99 monthly rate?" She goes "I have to transfer over to some other department." So far only 1 hour 30 min passed by. What a joke!!! So I was wait on other line for a while and phone dropped. You got to be kidding right?

    Called again and go through all that process to talk to someone and had to explain again..... So told me same thing, since no note there she can't do anything about it. Is that my problem, with out any note there? Are you kidding me? I even wrote confirmation number this time for this kind of issue and it does not matter even I had confirmation number or not. They said they can pull up anything. At that point I said go ahead and cancel two of my accounts. What's customer service!!!

    I will never go back with Comcast and I will post this as much as I can to make a sure that my friends and co-worker can see this. After all that (about 2 hours my valuable time) I mad a phone call to AT&T and talked to someone who was very knowledge and polite to answer all my questions (I wasn't that nice to him because I was pretty upset).

Had I not noticed on my bank account that the payment was not processed, my service would have been cut off! I asked the gentleman if I could have a credit due to this being their fault and not mine, he advised no.

One said the signal was "too high" and we had a bad cable line, so he installed a new cable in the backyard, but didn't call anyone to bury it! A few days later, another service tech came out and said the signal was "too low" and said the node in the neighborhood was bad and a supervisor needed to fix it. That was 2 weeks ago.

    I continue to call Comcast to complain and they just want to send another level 1 service tech to the house. I ask to speak to a supervisor and they won't transfer me.

    I have a summer residence and have tried calling Comcast on five different occasions to change my service to a basic package while no one is using the home. I have an Escalation Request Ticket # and still no satisfaction. Tried calling five times today and was disconnected each time.

    After listening to a bunch of "foreign babble", nothing was resolved. Comcast has been increasing my monthly bill at 'will', with no real explanations for these billings. They are so sneaky, you have to watch every charge ..nothing stays the same and you never get a straight answer. I have been a cable customer since the late 70's so I guess COMCAST THINKS I WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE THEIR MESS. They are mistaken...I have had it. I am switching, I am going to AT&T. Perhaps they will appreciate me as a customer.

    I had a pipe burst in a second home and the house had to be completely gutted. I contacted Comcast customer service and asked to have the service suspended for a short time while repairs were being made to the home. The representative I spoke to told me I would have to suspend for a minimum of 4 months, but I could instead have the service shut off, keep the boxes until the house was fixed, and call about a week before I wanted to resume services. Sounded good to me, so I did as she advised. Since then, I have received numerous automated calls about returning the boxes, a past due equipment charge, and a phone call today from a Comcast collections representative who doesn't ever work for Comcast! (We are talking about $120.00, not hundreds like some of the other customers that have reported here).

    Needless to say, I called Comcast right away to get it straightened out. I was connected to a call service out of the country, asked to speak to a supervisor twice, was disconnected mysteriously twice and was on hold a total of 48 minutes in the process. I finally called back and selected the option to receive new services. Not surprisingly, I was connected right away! She was very helpful, (from the USA) but unfortunately I have had enough of Comcast to cancel for good. If anyone is thinking about going with them, I would strongly advise you to try and get a hold of someone not associated with new sales, so you can see their true colors and the kind of service you can expect before you go with them.

    I have had six techs out to my house, of which included two different contractors and I still do not have what I am supposed to have that is correctly listed below. The self-install kit arrived late Friday night, Jan 16, and it has been a ** show ever since. I have taken two days off from work, waited five days at home aside from the two days out of work, which I waited at home for no less than 3 hours each visit. And Friday night, the second contractor arrived at 315PM and stayed until 530PM, telling me I would not have the correct internet speed until Comcast finished the install with the box truck as the new wires have to be buried, but at least I had 28 Mbps (I am supposed to have 105) and I had cable and the channels I was supposed to have. He left and the box went blue. I called Comcast and was on the phone until 9PM that night.

    I have had four or more boxes exchanged out and have wasted over 867 Anytime minutes on my cell phone bill for you all. I have seen charges come on and fall off, with each technician telling me not to panic over the various bills and charges until the actual service is correct, THEN address the bill. I have been told I would get calls back and never called back. I have had a No Show from the service technician Charlene ** set up, and I have not received Blast Speed (though it is showing accurately below) which was given free by Michael (who is in the same department as Charlene. Aka: TERMINATIONS).

    I have had to cancel appointments and house warming party because Comcast was here drilling or fixing the errors. Technicians have given their phones and told me not to contact Comcast...to call them directly, then they never answer. And this last contractor, who gave me his direct line, said he would come out THIS MORNING. So, I canceled plans again after asking him if he could wait until 4PM, which the Contractor, Shah, said he could not...and he never came. I texted him as well, and he never answered. I have saved screen shots of every text to various technicians and the phone log to include the hours spent on the phone with Comcast.

    I have tried calling, THREE times, and every time I am assured it will be fixed. The cancellation representatives have been Michael, Charlene ** and Donte (I think that was his name, Friday night, Jan 23rd). Donte had my cable correct, then said he would put me back to the $49.99 after we correctly communication that ABC was included in the Basic channels, without an upgrade and then we hung up. My box went blank and has not worked since, even though boxes have been changed out. Which tells me, it's the CODES (Basic cable to include HBO and 25 Mbps Internet), plus FREE Showtime for one year, plus FREE Blast Speed Internet (105 Mbps) for one year, plus $8 vs $10 modem as when I signed up, I was told the modem would be $8 per month for one year then the bill jumped which was not part of the agreement.

    I have been ** over so horribly by Comcast, wasting SO MUCH TIME that I could have had Verizon or AT&T or someone else (yes, you know it is available for my address)...that I am beyond anger or laughing...I am in utter disbelief. I am going to take the time to draft this email to you, to submit this on Yelp and the Better Business Bureau because I have not even estimated the financial losses I have taken through my phone bill and two days off from work and canceled appointments/meetings/outings from waiting at home for technicians and No Shows. I thought you all should know what's been happening because clearly all of my phone calls and attempts at not only resolving this but protecting myself, have been in vain. Very, very disappointing and terrible experience.

    My Comcast internet went up from 27.99 a month to 44.99 a month after the so called promotional service had ended so what I did I went onto Comcast Chat and chatted with someone in another country who stated that he could not give me a promotional service due to there was none offered but offered to upgrade my service to Basic cable, free HBO, Streampix, and internet service only for 44.99/month plus 10.00 fee for the modem. Now how is that helping me out when I just wanted to keep my internet at a low rate? I told him that would not do and after he so called looked for something else he came back about 5 minutes later and said "Why don't you just take the offer that I'm offering you?” Meaning the basic cable, HBO, streampix, and internet for the price he quoted me. I told him that I was on a budget and did not want cable because there is nothing on.

    So he said, "no worry" and handed me over to their so called sales department who could not help me either. Then I called the 1-800-COMCAST number and spoke to a lady and she was no help either. She stated that if I dropped my service down to ECONOMY internet it would cost more than I was paying now for the service that I'm getting. What? How is that supposed to be. When I use to call Comcast I would actually talk to someone here in the US and they always offered me a promotional package and when I would want to downgrade my service they kept my internet at a good speed and also gave me a reasonable price, now they could care less if I'm a satisfied customer which I'm definitely not.

I call in on the new sale line and got someone after only 2 minutes of waiting, but they won't help you. They will transfer you over to... you guessed it, a line that hangs up on you. They will not call you back when you get disconnected. It's sad this company can conduct business like this and get away with it. It's really sad because they monopolize many areas.

    On 1/21/15, I was called by a high pressure Comcast telemarketer trying to sell HBO on the Go and something else which I have forgotten. I turned her down a couple of times and before I relented I asked her repeated questions about the Internet only before I decided to try! It sounded good because I pay $39.95 for internet a month now and the woman said for only $5 more I could get HBO on my tablet and laptop. Said she was from Alphretta, GA. I told her that I was a DISH customer and was satisfied with my TV satellite. I do have Comcast for my Internet only. Anyway, she tells me that this Xfinity stuff would only be used for my laptop and tablet and would enhance my experience and that I would be able to get HBO On The Go.

    When box arrived today, it needs to be hooked up to my TV with a converter box with a list of channel lineups. It is so sad that she lied just to get a sale! I am glad the box contained information that I can return this package. I will be returning to Comcast in person. Now it takes two weeks according to pamphlet in box for them to take this equipment off my account. Thanks for the $65.97 bill estimate.

    My husband gave me the number of the authorized dealer to call and set up an appointment for installation. Before making the appointment he told all the wonderful things I could do with this Comcast great package. First - the tech couldn't get my TV hooked up. He tried 4 TV boxes and then told me it could take 2 hours to update and left. Needless to say the TV never worked. Second - I asked if I could get a TV guide and on-demand with the tiny box he tried to install. He said no. The only thing I can do (if it was working) is page through the channels one by one and adjust the volume. THAT'S ALL!

    The dealer didn't tell me all the features were only available on one TV or that I would have to pay extra for a normal box. We had Verizon before this. We also had 3 TVs at the time and all 3 had the capability for searches, on-demand and TV guides. It was a huge mistake to switch to Comcast. Another tech is coming a week from now to get the TV to work. If he can't I'll be calling Verizon.

    Contacted Comcast on Sept 22nd to cancel services. Spoke with a rep who was processing the request and informed me the prorated balance would be refunded to my account.

    November 7th: Received a bill from Comcast for service. Contacted once again and discussed situation with another rep in review. He saw that the account was supposed to be cancelled, according to him, on the 24th. I argued and stated I had called on the 22nd but after a minute, conceded. The two days wasn't worth arguing any further. The agent agreed to backdate the cancellation to the 24th and refund the unused portion of my services

    November 16th: Opened a bill from Comcast showing an outstanding charge of $67. Contacted Comcast immediately and after 2 reps found out, this was a $90 charge for non-return equipment. I stated we had never been told we needed to return the equipment and that we would do so immediately. Equipment was returned on Nov 17th to a Comcast brick and mortar facility and a receipt showing the return was obtained.

    Early December, contacted Comcast again to complete closing out the account. Agent stated it was in process but didn't see the returned equipment.

    December 29th: Contacted Comcast yet again as I had not received the outstanding credit. Spoke to an agent who informed me that I had not received any credit because I was being charged for services from the backdated cancellation of Sept 24th through to November 17th. When I returned my device, I disputed stating I had done what was required and it was Comcast's issue if they couldn't disconnect service after it was requested. I was told a research ticket was filed for their back office team to investigate internet usage to determine if they could complete the credit. I was told if there was no usage that the credit would be applied. I was told a supervisor would contact me within 2 weeks with the results. No contact ever.

    January 15th: Contacted Comcast, was routed through 4 agents, finally to a retention agent. After providing a detailed update of what has occurred provided a $60 credit and stated the Supervisor would have to provide the remaining amount. But he/she was not in and would not be back in the office until that Thursday, but when they arrive back they would process the remaining credit to 0 out the account and contact me. No contact ever.

    I contacted Comcast on January 22nd, finally reaching an agent after working my way through the sales department. I again explained my situation to a Billing rep who stated he couldn't help. I asked for a supervisor and was promptly disconnected. Second call January 22nd, again routed through sales got a hold of an agent named Mike. He reviewed my account and was working on making the credit to the account when, surprise, promptly disconnected.

    It has been 4 months since cancelling my services. I am due approximately $23 in refund, yet Comcast has charged me $90 for equipment that I returned and haven't been credited. In fact they have refused to provide a credit for the equipment yet they are in possession of it. I still don't have my refund. I have been put into collections and threatened to report the past due amount to the credit bureaus. I have performed my duties in this relationship while Comcast has continually failed to follow up on their commitments.

When I gotten my service I was told it would be 99 dollars a month (triple play) an additional 10 dollars for extra channel. My total bill with taxes will be 151.43.

    Now when I get my bill it’s 183.88- They spoke of prorate cost of service that I was getting and that the triple play wasn't offer. I was told by James the supervisor that I was getting a discount for a month to go paperless. I explain that wasn't true. He was suppose to listen to the calls and call me back. That never happen. He even threaten my saying some of the adjustment (that I already had to fight for will be put back on my bill if he find out they are not true). Go ahead listen I wasn't worried cause Comcast Rep's lied from the beginning.

A tech has to be called out and they charge me $40.00. Second, it takes 12 calls before anyone picks up the phone without them hanging up after you've answered all of the prompts. THEN, you wait on hold for 12-15 minutes (which I waited for twice). The third thing is, when the technicians come out, they do such an awful job, that another technician has to come to fix that problem. The fourth issue I've had with Comcast was the technician installed wiring for my home phone service and left the wire running diagonally across the length of my entire backyard for two weeks. Which means another technician had to come out to put an order in to have the wires properly buried.

    Of course, I can't forget just how ignorant, insensitive and incompetent the Customer Service Representatives are!!!! They are the worse! They are rude, and don't supply you with any resolution.

    Ok let me start by saying yes my cable bill is too high. Not at the fault of the company. We signed a two year contract then I lost my job not too long afterwards. I called to get find out what I could do, but because of contract we would be charged to change plan. We decided to drop cell phones (no contract) and live out the contract then lower it. Fast forward some time and a degree later, we are almost at the end of our contract. Two months ago we had major unexpected medical expenses. I have been making it all work, but called Comcast to get an extra four days on my account for payment. I was advised by first rep that it was still too early but I would be able to extend and still make payment online for free it just to call in a few days later.

    I called in later in the week. Second rep, "no he was wrong." Supervisor that call "He was wrong. We can extend it but you will have to put a post dated check on account." I dislike this because many companies mess things up. Finally I broke and did it. My kids need the internet for school and I need phone for medical issues past 911. Payment arrangement set up on 1/8 for check to come out on 1/15. I had a feeling something was wrong and boy am I glad I followed my gut. Since that time, I have made multiple calls and been told the check was there and entered correctly. It isn't here, and been threatened disconnection 3 times-tomorrow being the next disconnect date.

    Today I was promised a call back by another representative. This was the second rep who promised to call me and not followed through. They have all said the account was very complicated and they weren't sure what was going on. Today I get a new rep on the phone, he listens to my story again, and quickly calls collections while I am on hold. Collections tells him that someone cancelled the payment although it's in there. Weird. And they aren't sure why but it wasn't me. No it wasn't me. Finally I am told that I have to process another check and it can't be a free credit card payment online because even though they will have the money faster it won't post in time. So another payment processed. I called back about two hours later and was told that the rep took the payment but didn't process the stop disconnect. So another 45 minutes on the phone and he fixes that.

    I have been told something different by every representative I have spoken with including being blamed for the entire issue. In a way it was my fault. Money is tight. I am just trying to hang on until contract is over. Basically, I don't know what is going on with customer service. I can handle bad news. I just need it to be correct so I can work with it. There are many reps involved in this I haven't even began to talk about. I have spent hours on the phone with them-including being told "oh I can't handle PA accounts" and being immediately transferred to the wrong department. I have left many surveys saying its all been wrong and nothing. I asked who I could complain to and the rep acted like "oh what do you have to complain about." I have been told by their reps that each department runs on a different system and can't access each others. PLEASE I DON'T CARE. Just fix my issue.

The worst in the middle of all this, they cancel our own appointment, without cable we was bill. THE WORST EVER. LAST SUNDAY THEY GIVE US 4 APPOINTMENT IN ONE DAY NO ONE SHOW UP... THEY RESCHEDULE WITHOUT CONTACTED ANYONE. We are so upset, sick because of all those aggravations.

    Comcast is the worst company I have ever dealt with. I had their service for over a year and paid my bill ahead. I moved and cancelled service on 11/10, returned my boxes on time. Instead of a refund I was billed 52.00, the following month I was billed another $340.00. I have spent over 10 hours on the phone and still cannot correct it. Now they still say I owe 52.00. First they lost a box, now they found one and they turned me over to a collection agency. I want to find a lawyer and sue them.

    The saga continues. First about 2 years ago when my area changed to digital Comcast refused to send anyone to install the converter boxes on my add sets. Thane insisted that I come to their office to pick them up. They finally mailed them and on my next bill they added shipping charges after telling me that I would have 2 free of charge since I needed 3. They billed me for the shipping on all of them. After going to DISH Network over this I returned to Comcast a little over a year ago. Starting 2 days after the install I began losing sound and had to change channels to get the sound back. After 8 service calls I gave up and lived with it. Now the service shuts down. Locks on one channel and if you try and change channels it tells you to unplug and reboot the converter. When you do you lose all service for a couple of hours.

    They offered me an appointment after 40 minutes on hold for 4 days. Later after asking for a supervisor I was promised a 9-12 appointment the next day. I waited for the 3 hours and the technician was a no show. When I called in I was told the ticket was still open then told that it was closed with no one home and then that it was closed but with no notations. There were no notes for a not home call. They had my cell and there was no calls at all that morning on the contact number they were given. After another 20 minutes on hold they would do a call back and someone from the area would call me. The customer service rep said she would call me back within an hour. Guess what neither the local office or the customer service rep called. Did I expect anything different. The service goes out yet they still charge you for 100% of it.

    It is 1-18-15 and I spent 3 hours online trying to contact customer service to help with our ON DEMAND that is not working. We have had trouble with this service for weeks. I have had Comcast since 2010 and my dad who now lives with me has had Comcast for over 30 years. You would think that trying to help a loyal customer would be paramount for a company but obviously they only care about money.

    We can't get a credit on the bill, which runs over $169.00 a month to cover the time our service is out. And we can't get anyone who knows how to fix it. We actually didn't have the problems before they started this new computerized system which is now mandatory. Half the time the guide doesn't work and at least once a month we can't get any service at all. No one seems to know what the problem is. We are moving this year across the country and I can guarantee we won't continue with Comcast.

    My 81-year-old mother switched from Verizon to Comcast on 12/8/14. As of today 1/18/15, her phone does not work. After many appointments with technicians (most of the time they just don't show up), the phone is still not working and now there is a cable wire going from the house, above ground across the front lawn to the end of the property. This is a safety hazard, especially since it is a senior citizen community. I cannot seem to get Comcast to come and fix the phone & bury the exposed wire. This company is awful.

    When my brother passed away last year. I immediately called Comcast to let them know that he had passed. They wouldn't turn off his cable, Internet, or phone without proof of his death, but the lady said she'd note his passing. Unfortunately I couldn't get the death certificate due to being his sister. So I had to wait on that... In the meantime I took all of his items into Comcast & tried to present a memorial from his funeral and the guy was a little rude and unconcerned with me at the local office.

    Of course they were the only ones who kept charging a bill. The utility depts. have no problem cutting off his service. But Comcast charged 3 months until I went in to prove he was Dead!!! Then the woman said she didn't need that death certificate because the service was finally disconnected. I told her that the guy said to come in with the death certificate...I wish he had been there so I could shove it in his face. The lady was rude anyways due to a customer she had to deal with already before me who couldn't seem to get any answers to his problem. So yeah they suck I have to say. They need to take a memorial serious. Once a person is dead, service needs to be disconnected period!!!

    On November 24, 2014, I paid $50.00 cash deposit and about $60.00 for equipment and first month fee for cable service. I called Comcast about connecting and after I find out they are going to charge me $79.99, I returned the equipment in less than 24 hours. Late December, after complain to Capital One, the representative of Comcast told the Capital One and myself they will reverse the charge and refund the cash deposit within next few days. Comcast did not do either one and finally Capital One reverse the charge. January 16, 2015, I called Comcast. After talking to Comcast for over 40 minutes, she refused to tell me when the deposit will be returned to me.

    On January 17, 2015, I called Comcast. The agent told me six weeks from December 6, 2014 when I canceled the service. I never had a service nor it was canceled on December 6, 2014. I canceled on November 25, 2014. On January 16, 2015, I filed a complaint with FCC and other government agencies should not allow merger of Comcast and Warner Cable.

    We discovered last year that Comcast has been overcharging us (likely for several years) 8 devices when we had 4. When we brought this up, would not return my of the overcharge but offered us a free upgrade to X1 and a reduction in our future bill. We demanded that they send a tech out who validated the 4. Our most recent bill has us for 6 devices. We have been attempting to get this resolved but they keep losing connection over the phone, as their system is so cumbersome. I believe it's intent. It's designed to frustrate. Now we cannot seem to keep anyone online for more than a minute and we have to start over explaining the problem each time. Over the past 3 months we are talking about 25+ phone calls attempting to get a correct bill.

    I called Comcast 2 weeks ago. I told the representative that my box was not working. I asked for him to send a technician out. He confirmed I have a bulk account and should not be charge for the technician. I asked for a new DVR box with the 4 recording capability. He said he would send a technician out and also sent me a box my mail because Comcast technician could mess up my order. I said do not send the extra box since the technician is coming and I do not need the extra box. He puts me in hold and tells me he is crediting my showtime for 3 months free and I did not ask for that. What does that have to do with my problem. Plus once the promotion was gone, I would have to call in to add it.

    He did not listen to anything I said. The technician was sent out and did not have the correct box because the representative fail to indicate what I asked for. The technician felt bad and left me a bill stating that he will not charge me for the visit. I got my bill this morning and noticed that I was overcharged $88 extra for the technician fee, the box he sent (that I never received in the first place) plus $6 addition for my 10 a month show time.

    I called customer service. Was on hold for over one hour. I told the representative Tamia about the scenario and she dropped the call back to the beginning. Not only is this company unprofessional, but overcharging for services that I never requested in the first place. Good luck getting a supervisor on the phone too. There is never one around according all the representatives. I called twice today because of this issue and once again I been hung up on after hour wait.

    Unfortunately, we can't rate this company with negative stars. They really deserve minus few stars as a company. They were supposed to install their equipments in my house 2 weeks ago but I'm still waiting to be connected. They sent their bill though even if I don't have any connections. I had at least 6 appointments but I'm still waiting. They never showed up or they saying they'll send someone else because they can't do the work. They should never be in business with that kind of service. You're better trying to negotiate any deals with any of their competitors than doing business with them. Don't waste your time.

    I started out by ordering a service Comcast was advertising on the Internet for $89.99 for the three services of TV, phone and Internet. When I spoke to the person on the phone at Comcast, I was told that there would be a $50 hook-up fee. I asked if that would be all. He said that was it. When I got my bill there was an additional $47.00 over and above the $50.00. I paid that, but now I am being charged a base charge of $94.00 and this month, they had added "Additional Xfinity TV Services" and "Additional Xfinity Voice Services." The first carries a charge of $19.90 and the voice thing is for $10.00. I did not order these last two things and I do not want them. I am ready to turn off cable and rely solely on Netflix for television. I have to have Internet and phone, so it looks like I am going to be shopping for these services once again.

    Internet and television should be free. Television was free when I was a child. As long as you had a decent antenna you could pick up several channels. All these extraneous channels are just that. One has to pay for many channels that they do not want. I tell you what, I think they owe me money for all the time I have had to spend on the phone. WOW held up my phone number for 2-1/2 months and told me I would have to pay them $40 to have them release my phone number. Only after I filed an FCC complaint did they release it so that Comcast could "port" it over. I have filed a new FCC complaint about the charges that I never ordered. So let's see if that helps.

Then I called again and they said they will be out from 11am-1pm and if they are not there then call back. They never showed up.. So I called back and a lady answered the phone very respectfully and she said they will be out by 4pm-8pm and they have yet to come to my house.

A few months later, I noticed that I was being charged for the broken modem that I returned. I called Comcast and they stated they did not show a record of it being returned. I told them that I did return it and they said they would investigate the issue and would credit me back the monthly charge. I have called Comcast several times over this issue and they are STILL charging me for the modem that I returned!! This is unacceptable, horrible customer service.

    I decided to get rid of my monthly leased modem/router, and purchased my own. Installed it, and called Comcast to activate it. After spending over an hour on the line, I got bumped off when my phone went dead, and never got a call back. Another call to Comcast, and the 2nd person had no idea or record of the first call, so had to start over again. This person said they got it activated, but when I tried to use the wifi connection, it wouldn't allow me to log in. Another call, two more bumped off calls, and only one returned my disconnected call. Again told it worked, and indeed I could log in, but no signal to use the internet!

    I once again called Comcast, had another long wait, got a reply telling me they had no record of a all in one modem/router, or any activation of a new router! Got sent to another wifi tech, who told me he showed my new modem/router was not configured properly. He stayed on the line and got everything working, which took another 50 minutes to do. When I started it was 9:00 a.m., and when everything was finally working, it was 4:45 p.m. One day of my life gone, that I'll never get back, thanks to Comcast ineptitude, and poor customer service!

    THAT'S IT! I HAVE HAD IT!! I just realize my monthly bill went up by $30.00 per month. I called their "customer service" to find out why. The rep. told me yeah - the prices on everything went up as of Jan. 1. Even on rental cable box and the cable model. Really? You raise the rental fees on me on your used equipment? If anything the prices should drop since they are used. I can buy brand new equipment after I paid your rental fees for a few months. I thought I should at least ask for a different package for lower monthly fees and guess what? I can get my old monthly prices back if I sign up for a new 2 years contract agreement. What? Are you nuts? You must be crazy Comcast! What's the matter with you???

    Comcast is an evil company. Comcast's "Customer Service" is an oxymoron. Be sure to always check your monthly bills, and avoid autopay if possible. If you don't, you will be unpleasantly surprised when they raise the fees of your services and not notifying you before the prices went up. Oh and their equipment rental fees are a scam. If you pay their rental fees every months for less than a year, you could have bought your own equipment. And of course they will not tell you that you can totally buy your own equipment instead of renting theirs.

    Last but not least, always check what equipment they attached to your account. If you see any equipment listed in your account and you don't have them, be sure to tell them to do an investigation, or else they will charge you the full equipment purchase price when you cancel your account. Overall, Comcast is an evil, deceitful and dishonest company. Avoid them at all costs! So, I am saying goodbye to you Comcast! You blew it! You really blew it!!!

It is now 2015 and while we are looking to move into our first home, I find on my credit report a debt for Comcast for this amount.

    Yesterday, 13 January 2015, I had new TV service installed by my local cable company (Comcast). I had been warned previously by a local that they (Comcast) are "very bad," but they possess a local monopoly, and residents here are stuck with them. It is this awful service or nothing, because there is no competition allowed here, apparently. First of all, the company did not produce a proper (usable by the installer) job number, which they require for the new installation to take place. The men were here for over an hour trying to do something that could have been completed in 15 minutes, all because they did not have the job number the company requires for its installers.

    Secondly, I tried to call about a very important issue: the cable box was not HD. What???? The installer told me the picture was poor on my new HDTV because the box was merely a digital box, not an HD box. Does this actually mean that Comcast expects people to specify (in 2015!!!!) that theirs is an HDTV and it requires an HD box? Incredible! And when I called - over and over and over - the calls were dropped at the very same juncture, telling that they weren't "dropped" at all, but that they get a huge number of complaints and simply trash countless calls (every day, I would have to guess, of course).

    Perhaps this is what happens when there is no competition ready to step in with superior service. I am hoping that other providers can somehow serve me in the next 12 months!! I had to eventually find a way to establish an online "chat" with a Comcast/Xfinity Customer Service Rep., because I could not get through by phone. The man wrote during the "chat" that I would receive the HD box within 24 to 48 hours. Well, we're up to 30 hours now, and I am not holding my breath.
