    A payment of $325.75 was made to Comcast. For over a month they have been saying it was not paid even though it was taken out of my account. My Cable, Phone, and Internet were turned off as a result and I was forced to pay again to get them turned on. I have been dealing with this issue since. I have called my bank and conferenced Comcast, who after receiving a few faxes of the processed check from myself and letters from the bank, still do not acknowledge payment. I have spent countless hours on the phone with Comcast representatives, put in complaints with the BBB, emailed the Attorney General a couple times. Issue still remains unresolved a month later, and my bank account still short the $325.75. Every time I call Comcast for the most part they say it is my banks fault. Bank says it's Comcasts fault. Help desk representatives with Comcast are rude, and promise calls back from their supervisors that I never get.

    Cable was shut off and I was forced to make a double payment. In my time of financial need this has caused other accounts of mine to become delinquent. I keep getting the run around. I leave voice mails and do not receive phone calls back on a timely manor. I am forced to call again and again. One department says they sent my information to another department. When calling them, they sent it yet again to another department. My cable account now shows late payments, etc. My bank account is short the money. My other accounts as a result of my missing money have been affected.

    On February 6th at around midnight they mistakenly aired ** on Cartoon Network, Headline News and numerous other stations. I did a Google search and discovered that this is not the first time this has happened. So at what point are they going to be held responsible so that it won't happen again? I suffered nasty ** images burned into my mind's eye.

    I am licensed by the FCC as an electronics technician. I have worked in this area for 28 years. I also am 18 credits shy of receiving my bachelors degree as an IT Professional. I receive my internet access through Comcast. I often watch movies via Netflix. I also have access to the internet via my workstation at work. I have compared the upload/download speed through several websites that that give an estimate of internet speed under normal conditions. Both my home and work internet access is almost identical.

    However, when accessing Netflix from home, I get a message that my internet access is within the limits for streaming video. The moment the movie starts, I get the message that buffering can take from 2 hours to 12 hours to watch a movie. I have researched this issue only to find out that Comcast has been accused of manipulating internet access. Also, formal complaints about issues similar to mine have been filed with the FCC. Comcast claims that they are not manipulating internet access, but many folks are complaining about the same thing. (Where there is smoke, there is fire.)

    Since Comcast is the only cable company in Detroit that offers high speed, people like myself who watch movies via the internet are just out of luck unless they pay for a dedicated cable internet access service.

    Three channels were deleted from my cable service with little notice and no reduction in fees -- Oxygen, Hallmark, and MSNBC. I watched all 3 a good deal, particularly MSNBC. I want those channels back, without having to pay ADDITIONAL fees for a converter box. One of the main points of conversion 2009 plan from analog to digital is that if one does NOT receive TV over airwaves, but via a cable, converter boxes are NOT needed.

    Comcast's moving of these 3 channels to the all digital subscription plan is simply a bait'n'switch sort of business gimmick to try and get me to buy a higher priced plan. I had a contract with Comcast when I signed on that included these 3 channels, and I want them back.

    Two weeks ago I switched from Bell South to Comcast after I was assured that my Tivo and my hard wired Router would work with Comcast. A contracted worker for Comcast showed up; he was unable to hook up my 4 computers with my router. He was able to hook up one directly. He could not hook up my Tivo. The message my tivo gave said the cable box wasn't hooked up correctly. When I tried to hook it up myself I was shocked by wires that were improperly capped.

    My biggest gripe is that I wasn't given a pin # to set up my email account. I have called 5 times trying to get it. The first time I called they said it would take 5 days--that it had to be mailed for security reasons. After 5 days I called again. This time I was told it would only take one day. Two days later I called and was told it would be resent and would take 2 days. On Saturday when I called after receiving my first bill, they said I should get it Monday. It is Thursday night, and I haven't gotten it yet. Tonight when I called was put on indefinite hold when I asked to speak to a manager. After spending $100 on a router and $60 for a wireless usp adapter (for 1 computer-that used to work on hard wire) all my computers are working.

    Damaged wall, new router($100), usp Adapter ($60) wire in front yard not buried (hazzard due to dogs and children).

    When I moved in to my apartment, the Comcast rep I dealt with told me that because the apartment complex had a special deal going with them, my cable TV was included and the high-speed internet would be $25 a month for the entirety of my stay here. Well six months later, what do you know, they raised my internet rate to $45. I called them up and the guy says they only do promotional offers like that for six months.

    That would be fine, except I was told otherwise. I've worked in customer service myself, and if a customer claims he/she was told something like that, you go with it. The customer is always right, right? Well, now I don't know what to do because that guy was so stubborn, he was going to let me cancel rather than help me out.

    I have Comcast internet service at home. A few days ago my email stopped working. I could receive email, but I couldn't send any. I contacted my email provider, and we tried to troubleshoot it without success. Finally he suggested to contact Comcast. Once I got hold of Comcast support, I learned that they have blocked my ability to send email (they blocked port 25 used by SMTP). They do it automatically whenever their statistics indicate a possibility that the connection is used for spamming. I am no spammer and none of my computers is infected by viruses. I sometimes send email to groups of people as part of my business (software updates). It's always well below 20 messages at a time. One would expect that the issue could be quickly resolved, but no! I was told that such a block cannot be removed! I will never be able to send email again, no matter what.

    I will have to find and switch to a new system, which will take at least weeks. In the meanwhile, my ability to work from home is seriously limited.

    I went to Comcast to reconnect my service which they cut off for their mistakes and over charging. We paid them $424.00, and Comcast doesn't show we paid that in their system. It's not my fault; I've never missed paying my bills. They have insulted me and were rude to me for their mistakes. My bill is supposed to be 120.00; but it's stating $220.00.

    Why is it that Comcast gets away with providing the most shoddy services possible for a non-comparable dollar amount? We have had nothing but problems since Comcast took over Roadrunner cable TV and internet service. Their customer service STINKS and always suggests that the problems are with your equipment instead of their lines. I work at home and have to use the internet on a daily basis from at least 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and almost on a daily basis I experience connection issues anywhere between noon and 4 p.m. My neighbors experience the same thing. So logically you would think Comcast would say, okay, we will come check out the lines in the neighborhood.... But no... We have to unplug and replug every connection to the computer and reboot, etc... and still pay the same outrageous amount for shoddy service.

    I refuse to pay for a service call when I know the issue is outside, with their lines, and not in my house. At least Roadrunner was good about coming and checking the lines and would at least tell you straight up if they were in the neighborhood working on the lines. Comcast will out and out lie to you... Oh no, we are not working anywhere in your area and all I have to do is get out and drive down the road within a mile or two, and there they are, dinking around with the cable lines. Why is it that we are forced to accept one cable company and their poor service?

    I lose money because I cant keep a steady connection that allows me to complete my work in a timely manner without having to unplug and replug my connection, reboot the computer, etc..

    Things had been going well at our home with our Comcast internet (we have a wireless modem/router for all 3 of us users) until January 1, '08. From that day on it's been almost impossible to access the Comcast homepage and read email on most evenings (week nights and weekend evenings). Their homepage just won't open because of lack of enough band width to support the demand in our neighborhood. I called Comcast on Jan 1, '08 about the problem (1st night of trouble). I spent a long time on the phone with their person trying this and that with no fix, just excuses from him. The problem continued Jan 2, and I called again and believe that my call rolled out of the country because the man who took my call was very difficult to understand and had an accent. He blamed my computers, FireFox and Internet Explorer.

    On Jan. 3, the same problem that evening, and I called again. Ralph told me it was congestion in my neighborhood. (Not enough band width to support the neighborhood request for service--and the first person to be honest with me about their problem!) I asked for a supervisor to discuss this and was forwarded to Amanda. We talked and she opened a work order (#112006862) and promised me a call back by someone within 72 hours. That call back never came. On Jan. 20, '08 we could not get basic internet access, and the modem was not functioning properly. I called about the problem and Juan in Texas told us that we could exchange the modem ourself to avoid the service call charge. The next day my son was denied the exchange by the local office people stating that they had to make a service call to exchange it. (Juan offered a $20 account discount for all of our inconvenience [haven't seen it yet], but it doesn't fix the problem.)

    I am documenting every failed attempt to get onto their home page or internet access. I'm so angry that I can't read my emails daily on Comcast unless I get up at 6 am! I have asked all my family and friends to use my AOL account because I can usually get internet daily--just not Comcast homepage. I'm paying a premium price and getting ripped off! I'm tired of their excuses. We have known all along that the problem is not enough band width to support the neighborhood demand. I have seen Comcast trucks in the neighborhood almost daily since Christmas. Plus, my son is a student at ITT Tech and has access to many people who know all about what's going on with Comcast. If I could switch to Qwest or Verizon, I would in a heart beat; they just aren't available in our area yet.

    I called Comcast's customer service department on the week of 1/14/08 and was told that it would only cost $115.00 to restore service. Once I was ready to make the payment on the week of the 21st, I was told that I had to pay over 200.00 to have service restored. After being transferred to several different people, I finally spoke to a Jessie who assured me that it would cost less than $200.00. I informed Jessie that I was on a budget and needed to know the full price before I made a decision. He explained that I had to pay the past due which was $115.00, and the reconnect/deposit of $50.00, and that the whole transaction would not be more than about $165.00. He stated that after I made my past due payment with him, then I would have to be transferred to another department for sales (to set up an appointment for the installation). Once I was transferred, I spoke to a Spanish women who did not seem to want to hear that I had already spoken to 2 people about the cost to restore service--after telling me that I had to pay another $140.00 (which would bring my total to $255--a $90.00 difference).

    By this time I was livid and asked to speak to a supervisor. Once I spoke to the supervisor, he stated that I was misinformed and that I have to pay at least another $100.00 more and be billed for the remaining balance in order to get the service restored. If I had known that I would need to pay the $100.00 more, I would have waited another week when I was more financially secure to make the payment. After agreeing to pay for the extra $100.00 (since I had already paid the $115.00), I continued to place an order for one HD box for the living room and one regular digital box for the bedroom. I was given an install date for 4 days later.

    I was told to call the within the next 2 days to see if there are any cancellations. I called Comcast within the 2 days and was told that there were none and would have to wait until the regular time. During this call I verified that 2 boxes were ordered. When the technician arrived, he stated that he only had an order for 1 box, and it was not an HD box. By this time I truly wished that I had gone with Dish Network! I called the customer service department (unfortunately, screaming on a Sunday morning) about the incompetence of the customer service department. Now I am going to be charged more money for the 2nd box, when I attempted to get the cost up front. I can truly say that I am more than unsatisfied with the customer service that I received.

    I called Comcast to obtain an HD box and decided to try out one of their bundles that included internet, cable and phone service. Big mistake. I was never provided with any temporary password that would enable me to access services online like email and voice mail. All of the phone calls that come into my home are being sent to the voice mail service that I am unable to access. Despite multiple attempts to reach them via on line chat, phone calls and emails, the most that I have received have been dismissive responses. Fortunately, I am able to return to my previous ISP and phone providers and have initiated those changes. I would like to think that this monopoly can be busted up but do not see that happening; Comcast probably pays out a lot of money through lobbyists to insure this.

    I have no idea how many calls I have missed that are in the dark hole of voice mail that I cannot access. Fortunately, I can still get email through my previous carrier but had to make arrangements to do by remote.

    Over the past four years, we've had nothing but trouble getting hooked up to Comcast internet. But this year has been the worst as far as correcting a problem in which the installer charged us for two services that he did not perform. We've called Comcast's 800 number on several occasions. The first call we told their rep about it, and she said she would take care of it and credit us. But, we had to pay the bill and then watch for the credit on the next bill. When we received the next bill, it was not credited. So, we made another call. This person told us that she would check and call us back---she never called us back. Finally, we went face-to-face with a person at a local office. She said that she would credit us for one of the non-performed services; but would have to check with the head office for the second non-performed service. She billed us less, but then she never corrected the computer, and it still showed us owing more. Basically, Comcast has stolen $40 of our money and will not give it back.

    Sure, this isn't much, but if somebody took that same amount out of your pocketbook while walking down the street, you'd call a cop. The Comcast man who came to our house claimed that he installed a new plug in another room. He didn't do it, and we tried to tell them they could come to our house and check if they wished. The second charge was his professional install charge where he was to set us up on our computer and get us rolling. Well, he left and told us he could not set us up because the 'system was down.' Later, we spent time making three calls to finally get us up and running. The installer did not perform his 'professional install' due to the fact that his system was down, yet we were billed for it.

    Just making our calls to get on line with Comcast over the years have given us a variety of reasons never to return, and we will not after this year. If you call, be prepared to talk with people who don't know a thing about their company or the services. Rule of thumb: You must make at least three calls to finally find one of their tech reps who understands your problem and can help you. Frankly, in my lifetime I've never dealt with a worse bunch of misfits. It is obvious that the company does not have a good quality assurance program or an active customer service team that listens and investigates customer complaints.

    Comcast, at the time of this writing, has our money and continues to refuse to credit us for services that were not performed, and calls made to them have been a total waste of our time. The cost to us has been added phone charges and gas money that we should not have had to expend. Our first call to them should have taken care of the every concern we've had. Over the years, we have been told by their reps that the problem is a 'software problem,' so we paid money to Microsoft techs, only to discoverthat the problem was turned right back to Comcast, who had passed the buck because Comcast's techs could not diagnose the problem correctly.

    I just received my bill from Comcast today. It is Jan. 16th. The bill indicates that it was sent out on 1/02/08. It is due on the 17th, tomorrow. I just opened the bill. This has happened many times before. It says that I can avoid paying a $7.00 late fee by paying my bill on time. How can someone pay their bill on time when they don't receive it until the day before it's due. By the way, we pay in ADVANCE. Not for service used. Service that will be used! I think that Comcast sends these bills out late so you will make a late payment. There is no postmark on the bill either. They know there are not a lot of options for cable TV and they have got you. I always pay my bills on time and I have excellent credit. Why do people have to put up with this? They say they cannot email you a bill or remind you ahead. They should get you your bill on time so you will not be LATE! I'm going to have to change to a satellite dish and have my email with another carrier.

    I called Comcast to get another cable box, and they talked me into their triple service. It sounded great - high speed internet, all the cable channels and digital phone. I made it clear that I did not want voice mail. Anyway right now I am waiting for Comcast to come to my house. I had to call them on my cell phone; all the phones have been flashing since the phones were installed, and now today I can't call out. The first person I called to see why I had voice mail and ask them how to get the flashing light to go off, said it would take 72 hours before they could take it off. Why is the world so rude and complicated? I pay around $200 per MONTH to cable - enough for a new car payment - and the service is terrible.

    I understand the marketing behind rebates. In a nutshell, most consumers do not follow through in sending them in. I'm not most people, and I did jump through the hoops and sent in all the necessary items, well within the allotted time. In doing so, I should have received $125 back. After spending a good portion of my morning trying to get to the bottom of this, I am told that Comcast does not have record of me sending it in; and the offer is no longer valid.

    I realize that Comcast is on its way to monopolizing the market, but does this give the right to swindle a customer? I ask that they please do what's right and correct this situation. I would like to continue to do business with Comcast and was planning on adding phone service to the list of services that I subscribe to. It's probably not a big deal to Comcast, but I also will be filing a complaint to the Better Business Bureau if the promise of a rebate is not honored.

    For 2 months Comcast has cut off my service, cable and internet--thinkng that is was someone else's. All bills have been paid on time. I told the rep that this second time, if it was for the same dumb excuse I would call back to get more than just a service credit. Once again they came out for the same reason. Called back to speak with the local managers--did not get the 24 call back. I called again and spoke with someone.

    Their manager said even though it was their mistake twice in 2 months, they would not extend my promotional plans for an additional 6months. All they would offer is an inadequate $22 credit for another week without any service. They have a monopoly in MD, and I can't get Verizon services yet were I am.

    I am a paying customer and have had a duplicate account established at another apartment in my complex. This issue took place in September and has still not been resolved as of January 2008. I called into Comcast, and they will not let me speak with a supervisor. They tell me I will receive a call back from a supervisor, but two times in row I never received a call back the next day. The account was only active for a month, then was sent to collections. Since I don't live at the address, I was notified too late. It's now on my Credit report. I've tried again and again to get the issue resolved and the account closed. While the customer support is friendly they are not helping me get this issue fixed in a timely manner. I was able to get them to zero the account and re-call it from collections, but it still showed on my credit. I disputed the charges with the collections so hopefully that will go away.

    The issue that I am fighting now is they believe I have hardware at this duplicate account. They use another company to collect hardware, and I call in and tell them I have no such equipment. They have opened tickets in the past and are opening one again. No process has been made with these research tickets. Why can't they fix this before something else goes on my credit report for hardware I never had? I'm a paying customer who has been taken to collections, with an account in good standing. I shouldn't have to write into the BBB and other agencies to let Comcast know I am frustrated. They should take care of their problems in house.

    Overall I've complied and listened to every word they have said. I went to the local offices, and they said to call and talk to a supervisor. That doesn't work because they 1. Won't let me or 2. Say they are gone and offer to call me back. Then I waited while they opened tickets for this cable modem. It doesn't exist. I waited over 10 days before, and opening another ticket isn't going to matter. Comcast needs to realize that their support doesn't help resolve anything. I have called and talked to countless people. This is an issue that should have been resolved in November.

    My credit has been damaged because of this.

    I believe Comcast has been overcharging their customers with prorating and billing errors. I had cable with Comcast and internet thru Earthlink and the phone with AT& T. After many telemarketing calls from Comcast about the Triple play, I made the switch to go with their Triple play for $99.00 for twelve months which includes digital voice, cable and internet. Since then my bills have not been correct. I have received bills for Nov. 07 ($286.00) and Dec. 07 ($213.13). The customer service rep told me to just pay what's on my bill, and it will be adjusted next month. I told her I can't afford to pay this bill with errors now, just tell me what I need to pay. She told me to deduct the adjustments from total but not to be surprised if it shows up as an unpaid balance in my next bill. She said the problem was a glitch in the billing software. There are so many erroneous fees such as intralata $8.77, PCM $5.00, interlata $7.96 and feature pack $15.00--on the digital voice package that came with bundle in Aug. 07, that put my bill higher. When I questioned them in Oct. 07 the customer service rep said, "Oh, they have been overcharging you; we will credit you for that."

    I have been paying my bills in hopes it will get corrected; but the next month comes, and it's even higher. I am sick of calling trying to correct. I have wasted many frustrating hours and anguish over my Comcast bill, and I have overpaid but can't get them to correct the bill for that month. They told me they do not send corrected bills-- just pay the amount on the bill and we will credit you next month.

The box was changed on Sept. 22. I was hoping to get credited for the movies and was waiting for a letter with the credit--which I didn't get. In the middle of October my service was disconnected. I called again, and the agent said I was denied the credit. I was reconnected and was in line to get the credit--a form I was supposed to get in the mail which I never got. It's November now, and I got disconnected again. Called Comcast and they say they can't find the form, and my credit was denied. They say I have to wait (without cable, of course) about 3 weeks to see if I get the credit. It's really unfair to me to wait when it was a bad box problem. Can you guys help me out?

    Comcast is the only cable provider for the area where my wife and I moved. After the initial installation was completed, we had problems with the 1st and 2nd cable receivers installed and also very slow internet speed. It was determined by the 3rd technician that we had a weak signal. He said he would be back in the next day or two to resolve the problem. That didn't happen, and I had to call Comcast and set up another appointment. The 4th tech came and worked on the problem. In the process of fixing the slow speed internet problem, he did something to my computer so that now I have no access to the programs, firewall or anti-virus protection. (These were turned off during his troubleshooting and not turned back on and are still off because I do not have proper authorization. That is what pops up when I try to access.)

    I contacted the Comcast Damage Claims Dept. and Martin came out and said that it was not a Comcast problem. After which I spoke to his supervisor (I believe his name is Richard), and he said the same thing. They will not take responsibility for the fact that before they did whatever they did in setting up the internet, that they changed the configuration and settings that allow me to use my computer. I am told by Richard that I have to take my computer to a bona fide computer specialist at my expense to get it fixed. I do not feel that I should have to pay for their improper techniques or inadequacy of computer knowledge that caused this problem. The problem did not exist before they set up the internet, entered my computer and changed my configuration.

    I have not taken the computer to a specialist yet.

    For past 6 to 8 weeks, I have tried to use On Demand to order a pay movie. A box keeps popping up saying I cannot do it, reference 225. I have called and called yet no one does anything. I even spoke to supervisor who assured me it would be fixed. Nothing. I get On Demand because I pay for digital programming yet as of late, I have not even been able to get anyone on the phone, just their commercials over and over. Comcast is the only service I can get. I live in a condo and cannot get dish because the association does not allow installation of dish on the wall for southern exposure. So I feel handcuffed with nowhere to go and no one to provide any service, unless I want to increase my service. Please help me if you can.

    We were wooed by Comcast when we were using satellite service. We owned the all of the equipment. Service with the dish was intermittent depending on the weather. Unfortunately, after getting Comcast cable, we again only had intermittent service - and you pay extra for a home business account. To make matters worse, we have their cable box in our backyard. I have called many times to inform them of damage to our fence from other criminally minded neighbors who keep knocking our fence down to access the box. I certainly would expect to give free service if I was asking someone to keep my equipment on their property. But no, not only would they not match the competitors' rates (after saying they would), we continued to have service intermittently, were treated rudely by representatives, and were told the box would be moved out of the yard. Wow. I just don't feel like a valuable customer. And that's ok. I would rather give my money to a company who cared to have me as a customer

    My fence is down again. The box is still open with all of the cable wires exposed. Of course, the kids cannot play in the yard because of the potential danger. Not to mention, in Aug. 2007, they put a new cable wire in outside in an attempt to actually deliver the service we were paying for. There was to be someone over in 3 days' time to bury the cable. But no, it's Dec. 22, 2007 and the cable wire is still hanging off the side of the house, through the yard to the cable box in the farthest back corner.

    I recently ordered Comcast internet service. When the tech arrived, he started installing the modem. In the middle of the install he received a personal phone call. He proceeded to carry on a conversation with what sounded like his wife during the whole install. I was in the living room when the tech stated, "You're all set." He rushed me through the signing of the paper work, and then he bolted out the door. I then went to get online and nothing--my computer wouldn't even boot! I tried over and over to get my computer to boot up, and nothing.

    I called a tech from the company that built the computer, explained what was going on, and was very upset to find out that the tech fried my mother board! He crossed wires or plugged something into the wrong slot. I am now going round and round with Comcast, their contractors, and back. Everyone is pointing their fingers at others.

    Comcast is a nightmare! They took over Timewarner and soon after jacked up all their prices. So in Sept. I called to terminate service. The customer service rep. was rude and basically harassing me about wanting to terminate. I wanted termination the next day. Done with her rudeness, I asked to speak to her supervisor and as she transferred me she disconnected my cable. Every time I have asked to speak to a supervisor with Comcast - there is NEVER one available. I leave tons of messages, and no one calls me back. After dealing with that issue I waited for a final bill. Comcast continued to bill me for dates beyond my termination date. I made phone calls on top of phone calls and always dealt with people who could not do anything about it or would promise to send me a corrected bill.

    Finally in October I received a correct bill, but they were trying to bill me late fees of about $5.00. I refused to pay. The statement was dated 10/13. After numerous phone calls and emails I finally spoke to someone at Comcast who appeared to have some common sense. On 10/24 they agreed I owed no late fees, and we discussed my final balance. I immediately paid the bill. A couple days ago I received a rude letter from a collection agency claiming I owed about $18.00. I called and they explained that Comcast sent the claim to them on 10/15. Per their own statement marked 10/13, the late fee was only $5.00; but 2 days later was 18.00? Hmmm...smells a tad fraudulent to me.

    I have made several phone calls again: I had to leave messages, and no one called me back. I terminated service with these clowns 3 months ago, and they continue to haunt me. I am not paying for late fees that I do not owe. Comcast was the one who continued to bill me even though I had no service with them. They are truly a company that does not care about their service or customers--only the $$$$.

    So now I sit here waiting for this issue to be resolved without it affecting my good credit.

    As a Comcast subscriber to phone, internet and digital cable, on 7/25/2007 I stopped digital cable service and turned in my digital receivers. The system was down, and I was given a handwritten receipt. On the next bill, digital service was not removed. On 8/31/07 I turned in my digital phone and modem. A receipt was given to me. As of November 2007, I am still receiving bills. Payments were made by me in excess of $250 after I had stopped service (one payment by mistake, and the second by auto payment which I had forgotten to cancel for Comcast). I called in September '07 and was assured it was corrected.

    Another bill came with full service cost on it, and I called back on 10/23/2007. At that time I was promised a refund but was informed I would be billed until a serviceman went to the home and physically disconnected on 10/31/07. There was nothing I could do to get them to disconnect me when I requested, but I was promised a refund. Needless to say it is now 12/14/07--and no refund. I called Comcast back and was told my account was charged off (great for the credit rating!) but that she saw all my communications and was forwarding my information to a supervisor. I requested a callback from the supervisor and was told it could not be guaranteed. I have asked to speak with a supervisor each time I called and was denied the privilege.

    I have had Comcast since January 07 and have been very satisfied, until now.... I recently moved, when I called them to make them aware, and have them re-install me at my new address (a few apartments over) they were short on the phone, but I just thought they had taken care of everything quickly. I received my bill for the old apartment as expected and had no objections with the bill until I called to pay over the phone. My balance was $17 more than what was stated on my bill. A rep told me this was because I had moved and their was a small service fee for re-installment. That was fine, and I happily paid my bill. The next month I received a bill that was more than double what it should be.

    I called the 800 number and spoke with a woman who was extremely rude; when I tried to explain the situation to her she got extremely defensive and told me that she was a preacher's wife and she was not interested in ripping me off. I told her that I didn't care who she was married to and the company she worked for WAS trying to rip me off. I got annoyed with her and hung up, re-dialed the 800 number and spoke with a young man and his equally incompetent supervisor. Nobody could seem to figure out WHY they double charged me... but they were all so sure that they were correct and I was wrong. My phone calls went on like this for 3 weeks until I FINALLY was able to speak with a billing supervisor and after an hour on the phone with him, we figured out where the mistake was.

    The supervisor had said that he had to bring the issue to the attention of the corporate office, and I should be receiving a call from them in 5 business days. This conversation took place on November 15. Since then I have yet to speak to a supervisor of any kind and have been getting only pompous young operators. I have called once a day every day since then (now December 14), and the situation has yet to be resolved. I am also receiving late notices for the $150 they over-charged me, and I refuse to pay it. I find it funny how they contact me so well when they think I owe them money, but refuse to help me when I can prove they're wrong. The next call they receive will be from my lawyer.

    I believe that my credit may be affected since this issue has been going on for three months and is not resolved and I refuse to pay the disputed ammount. I would gladly take this to court and spend the money on a lawyer rather than pay it to them. Also, I'm trapped with this shisty company for the next two years because I unknowingly renewed my contract by moving, and the fee to cancel is outragously high.

    I sent a $165.84 money order to pay a bill covering October 17-December 17. Sent it out November 19. I get a notice around the end of that month that they have not received the overdue amount ($85 and change) and my service would be disconnected. I called to let them know that I had sent the payment and was surprised to find they had not received the payment. The customer service rep said he was put a hold on the disconnect until December 6.

    December 6, I called to see whether they had received payment -- they said they hadn't. I was told to contact the money order company and fax whatever information they gave me to Comcast. I find that Comcast had cashed the money order. To get a receipt I would have to send $12, and it could take awhile. The customer rep at Comcast had also given me the option of faxing the receipt of the money order I had, so I did, along with the information Moneygram had relayed to me. I'm thinking everything is fine -- the fax will be noted in my file; our conversations would be noted, also.

    The next day, Friday, my service was disconnected. Now I used to have cable, internet and phone with Comcast but switched to Vonage, when after my year promotional bundle service Comcast doubled the cost of the phone service. However, because Vonage comes through my internet when Comcast disconnected the service this meant that I had no phone service either. I tried to call customer service, and after a long long time, I got someone who told me my bill wasn't paid. I repeated what had transpired with another customer rep and the fax I sent. They said they hadn't received the $85 and change overdue.

    So I went through it all again in person at their office, with a rep then telling me they applied the money to an old charge. Tried to reach someone on the 1-800 line but unsuccessfully. I used all of my prepaid cell minutes trying to reach someone. I finally got someone Monday -- I think -- in Philadelphia who found where the payment went. It had been applied to some bill three or four years ago. I let the rep know that the remaining amount should be applied to my current account, and I would re-send the balance to my current account. Now, mind you, I never received any notice that this occurred and not once in all the calls to reps had anyone informed me of this problem until I went to the office. All got cleared--except my getting Comcast service continued. I think the lousy service and ignorance of company personnel that customers are put is a strong argument against monopolies.

    COMCAST has dropped numerous channel offerings from their standard service package within the past year, but continues to charge the same monthly fee for this decreased service. Their reply/solution is to force us to buy a more expensive package. I believe COMCAST is short-changing and discriminating against people who cannot afford their premium services. For every station they drop, they should be required to adjust our bill downwardly to reflect a decreased level of service.

    To sum it all up, we have been having nothing but problems since July of this year. Our service was temporarily disconnected due to non payment in mid July. At the end of July we called to settle our bill and to sign up for the new Triple Play package since it will be cheaper. At that time we owed a little more than $500. We were told to only pay $370 of that since the balance was to be pro-rated for the services we had not used since our cable was disconnected. In essence, the remaining balance would be wiped clean since it was an advance billing for services that we were canceling and changing to the Triple Play package.

    In August is when all the problems started. Not only did it take 5 technicians numerous attempts to properly wire my new service, one of them leaving an estimated 2ft by 2ft hole in my ceiling that was not fixed in a timely manner, but to my astonishment when I opened my Comcast bill the following September, the balance had not in fact been wiped clean, they were charging me for having the Triple Play package PLUS my old service, also the charges for all the botched attempts to wire my service that were supposed to have been refunded were also there on my bill.

    Numerous phone calls and attempts to settle the issue were finally addressed when I was told to only pay $138 and that a dispute would be filed within the company and a research department would correct the issue. I paid it. Then in October, I try to make an outgoing phone call and I cannot. My service had once again been disconnected due to non-payment. At that time my bill was almost $1,000!

    Many, many, many phone calls had been made to Comcast about the issue. Supervisors tell me that I will get a call back, and they never call... and that's if they even listen to me.

    Been a longtime subscriber so I figured I'd at least get ok service. Boy was I wrong.

    I have Comcast digital cable/HD. I bought a Tivo so I needed to have them come out and install a cablecard so that I could access the HD channels. They gave me a 2 hour window for the tech. to show up (3-5pm). No one showed so I called Comcast, they said that the wrong type of tech. was dispatched and that they would definitly have the right kind there before 7p. No one showed so I called again. They said that the tech was running late and would be there by 7:30p. No one showed up so I called again.

    They said that there was no record of a tech being dispatched to my address. I told them that wasn't acceptable since i'd been waiting since before 3p. They offered to re-schedule the appt. I asked to talk to a supervisor. After 10 more minutes on hold, I got a supervisor. He told me that no one shown up because it was so late. I told him that that was a different story than the previous person told me. I asked why he would lie to me like that. He couldn't give me a good answer.

    After a heated discussion, the supervisor finally agreed to credit me $60 plus a pro-ration of my service charges (approx. 1 week of lost service) and schedule a new appt. about a week later. So I ended up getting paid about minimum wage to sit around and wait for them to hopefully show up. Nice customer service?


    lost 5 hours of work @ $165/hour. got $60 +1 weeks pro-rated.

    About 3 weeks ago Comcast added a home phone and cable TV upgrade. When the tech left my home I found out that Comcast had a new home page, and that I could not log on from there. November 01, 2007 I called BACK to find out why I still I could not log on via my home page. I was told that they would look into it and get back to me, probably within a couple of hours. Immediately, I found that I could NOW not log into my email. I called back and was told that for unknown reasons that all of my email accounts had been suspended and that a rep would call me back within 24 hours. I called back and was told that it could take 24-48 hours. I called again after a day and a half and was told that they were still within some 48 hour grace period. I could expect it to hear from the rep this evening or tomorrow morning.That did not happen. Now they are saying that I will be contacted by a service rep within 72 hours. No one is able to tell me why my email accounts were suspended. No one can tell me anything except that I just have to wait until they get around to it with these ever-increasing grace periods that they grant themselves.

    I have lost all possibility of working the past 4 days (and tomorrow at this point) as my clients contact me via email and website linked to email. I have also spent HOURS on the phone with Comcast attempting to rectify this situation. I cannot close that account because all of my emails and business links are trapped there.

    I made an appointment for Comcast to install their triple play of highspeed internet, long distance phone and cable TV for $129. At noon the service man called and said he was running late. After waiting 4 hours I called and told them I had another appointment and needed to reschedule. I had a new appointment several days later for between noon and 3. At 2:39 I called comcast and was told my appt. had been changed to a later date. On that date I waited and after 2 hours called and was informed that the service man had been to my house and no one answered the doorbell. I was home and never heard anyone ring my bell.

    Finally he came back and installed the highspeed internet; however he did not have a cable tv box for the extra channels I ordered. Later, I turned on the internet and it did not work. I called Comcast and was told it would take between 24 and 72 hours to fix. The next day the internet came back on. A week later I still do not have the digital TV channels I ordered. After this two-week ordeal, I have decided to switch to Verizon. I am curious to see what my Comcast bill is going to be.

    I am a flight attendant and need to be able to go online to pick up trips. I had no dial tone and no internet service for over a week. It was only when I broke down crying over the phone that Comcast sent someone to my home.

    We canceled our service with Comcast on September 17, 2007. On September 28, 2007 we received a statement billing us for 10/1 to 10/31/07 for $111.27. I called Comcast and was told that our account was canceled, were due a credit of approximately $22.00, and the bill generated by mistake. On October 29, 2007 we received yet another bill from Comcast for $215.40 to include October and November 2007. I once again called and was informed even though the bill was generated we do not owe, and that a Comcast Technician needed access to my fenced in backyard to do a lock out to completely disconnect the service.

    I had never been told that until a technician was able to access my fenced backyard I would continue to receive these statements. I must be home and wait on the technician for 11 hours to lock out service that I cancelled almost 2 months ago.

    I've had been a customer of comcast once before and the service was horrible. They advertise their ON DEMAND program to get you to subscribe and half the time I tried to use it I had technical difficulties. I just recently moved and I had no choice but to sign up with them again because DirecTV is not available in my area. I've had comcast for 4 days now and I've had to call them 3 times regarding my service.

    I ordered a DVR cable box and 10 minutes after the technician left the box stopped working. The ON DEMAND feature is yet to work for both cable boxes and when I called for some assistance, the operator had no idea why my service wasn't working. If they can't explain and refuse to refund any money for faulty service then I don't believe a company like this should be in business. They act like they don't care because they have a monopoly on cable service in South Florida.

    First in March 2007 I added phone service and was told w/the internet & television it would cost me $129.99. After installation the next day I had no service for all 3 of the above. After multiple tries to resolve at the 1800 number I had to contact the corporate office. They resolved the issue with TV & internet and the phone service is limited. I have contacted them for the problem with the phone service with no resolution.

    They have been charging me $129.99+ on my bill (even though the service was not correct) On my 9/15/2007 bill they increased my bill by $22.11 & 17.80. After having enough I have repeatedly trying to call them for the phone service (a tech came to my house for 3 hours after Comcast said they were waiting for me to call back after many calls & months) Nothing has been resolved for the phone service.

    The increase in my bill has NOT been resolved (a 2 yr price contract was suppose to be in effect) Everyone that I have spoken to has given me a different answer - some even saying that I should not have the charge and would correct the problem and credit my account.

    Comcast has been upgrading our service by installing fiber optic cable. While they're doing this, they've created an outage for the whole area. It's been two days and I still don't have cable. Didn't these geniuses figure out how to replace the old cable without inconveniencing a whole township for days? Apparently not, nor do they care.

    I've lost count of all the apologies I've received when calling to find out when the service might be restored. That is when I can actually get through to a human being. When you call, you either receive a busy signal (what else is new?), or have to go through the maze that is their automated answering system.

    This eventually leads you to either a disconnect or the voice mail of someone (I'm assuming it's a comcast employee - but you never know), who doesn't call back. When you do finally get through, the story is contrived, with no real answers. They said twice that my area was back online (when it wasn't), and that the problem must be my digital box.

    They scheduled a technician to come to my place yesterday. I waited all afternoon for someone who never showed. When I finally got a hold of someone I was told that my area was indeed out, and in that scenario the technician wouldn't show. They didn't even bother to give me a phone call to let me know not to waste half a day. This is without a doubt, the worst utility screw up I've ever witnessed.

    On January 3, 2007, my apartment building burned down in a fire accidentally set by a tenant on the 3rd floor. I lived on the second floor and lost everything in the fire. When I spoke to Comcast, the representative informed me that I would have to supply them with a copy of the official fire report in order to avoid being charged for the cable converter box and cable modem. I was assured that proper notation would be made to my account, indicating that the equipment had been destroyed in a fire at no fault of mine.

    As I awaited the release of the official fire report, making numerous calls to the fire marshal’s office, I began receiving "bills" from Comcast for the cable converter and modem, totaling $256.00. Each time a bill arrived, I called Comcast and had to re-explain the circumstances of the fire, as apparently no "notation" had ever been made to my account.

    On January 25, 2007, I received a letter from OnProcess Technology, a firm employed by Comcast for equipment retrieval. This letter informed me that my account may have already been sent to a collection agency, as I was still "in possession" of Comcast equipment! I called their 800 number, explained my circumstances AGAIN and was told once again that they would make a "note" on my account, but that Comcast had to remove the charge. Comcast has continued to treat me and pursue me as if I were a delinquent customer. Now, they have also jeopardized my credit status by referring my account to OnProcess, who described themselves as a "pre-collection agency."

    I made 3 separate appointments to have Comcast come out and install cable, phone, and high speed internet as part of their Triple Play deal. The first appointment came and went, nobody showed up or called. Set up another appointment, but they did call to cancel that one. Finally talked with another rep that explained that in order to keep my current phone number, a waiting period applies so that the number can "clear" from my existing phone provider.

    This customer rep set up my new appointment, and offered me a $25.00 credit on my first bill. Installation was performed as scheduled. He finally got everything working, and I signed the installation bill costing $77.00 as promised when I signed up. When I received my first bill, I noticed that 3 days after the installation took place, Comcast charged me an "installation adjustment" of $33.00 or so.

    My wife called to question this charge, and was told that the fee was because a cable outlet was added. When my wife questioned her more on the charge, since we did not have any outlets installed, she was put on hold for about 15 minutes, and then disconnected from the call. She called back, waited, and got another person who told her that the charge was because we activated 3 cable jacks instead of the standard number of 2.

    I have been using Adelphia high-speed Internet access and cable for many years with little problems and almost no unwanted e-mail problems. Comcast has acquired Adelphia in the Colorado Springs market and everything has gone to the dogs. My cable service is dramatically worse and fuzzy. Internet connection speeds have fallen by 32% and I receive approximately 30-50 spam e-mails a day. Contacting Comcast is next to impossible and when you do make contact they have no idea of how to help you.

    Adelphia provided the services they agreed to and were able to be contacted if necessary, not so with Comcast. Comcast is also unwilling to maintain the Adelphia mail servers which require everyone with an Adelphia e-mail address to move to a Comcast address, but of course in talking to 30+ people not one of them have been able to maintain the e-mail prefix they have used for years due to it already being taken by a current Comcast customer.

    In November, my husband ordered a costly on-demand fight. He realized only seconds after hitting the "Accept" button on the remote that he had selected the wrong fight. He called Comcast's customer service and the agent said she would credit the account although she was not able to give us the other fight because "her system" showed there was an inexplicable block on the account. (How did we order the first fight?)

    In December we went on a 10-day vacation so we have no idea what is going on back home. We pay a set amount automatically and the Comcast bills are not looked at closely (which we now will change). We came back home and found that we were disconnected due to an unpaid amount of 32 dollars, a result of NOT having been credited back the amount for the unwatched fight.

    Comcast said it was their fault and the cable would be on by that evening or the next morning. We come home the next evening, no cable. My husband called Comcast and they acknowledge it was their error but the earliest they can get someone out to reconnect the cable was one week.

    What a terrible, confused company for consumers to have to deal with. They offer a deal call the triple play which they advertise as including digital cable, phone and internet service for $99.00. When I purchase this plan I was happy at first, then I stopped receiving a lot of the channels. When I called I was told that I was only suppose to have basic cable not digital. So in order to get the channels I originally had I had to upgrade.

    To make a long story short my bill ended up being $168.00. If you only receive basic cable with this offer, then that is what should be stated - not digital.

    I have a Comcast service plan for cable/internet/phone package that totals $120.93/month. I received a call from a Comcast representative indicating that my promotional period has ended for the bundled package and my rate will go up to nearly $148.00/month - a nearly 23% increase. First, when I decided to go with the bundle package of service Comcast did not tell me this was a promotional rate. I specifically asked the sales representative if the prices would go up on the bundle has it had with cable and the representative seid it would not.

    We've had nothing but trouble since Digital cable was installed. The trouble, well, none of the channels worked. Came as distorted then a blank blue screen. Even though we've paid the invoices, we couldn't even watch anything. We've had contractors sent from Comcast over our house several times, and they couldn't fix anything. In fact, they suggested a fix by drilling holes in our house to increase the signal!! I then called Comcast and argued for some time to send actual Comcast technicians over. Finally, they came, fixed the signal in the cable box outside, and Badda Bing, we have a picture!

    My cable went out 6 nights ago, and there is no solution in sight as far as getting it back.

    I have had to call them 3 times so far just to describe my issue and each time was on hold for 40 minutes. Nobody seemed to know why I had no cable, no one is in any hurry to fix it and certainly, no one cares. Fine. So the last answer I got (they have all been different) was that my cable will be back in, oh, a month or so. They really have no clue what they are doing.

    In the meantime, I got on the phone with DirectTV and after all was said and done, my DirectTV pacakge will be $20 cheaper per month than my Comcast bill. They will be here in a few more days, at which point I will cancel my service with Comcast with great glee.

    In 2003 I took advantage of a Comcast promotional offer of internet and cable. The offer was that if you signed up for both you got basic cable and then if you added internet WITH CABLE you got an additional 60 channels (in essence the standard cable). Before accepting this I checked with their rep and was assured that as long as I didn't change the service the price would remain the same. Then early this year after four servicemen put in the wrong cable the last serviceman again put in the wrong service and downgraded my service. Despite the fact that the bill has 2 lines; basic cable and Internet with cabel - Comcast refused to return my service to that contracted and kept telling me I only had basic cable (8.99) and had been getting standard cable for the basic price.

    When I pointed out that I had internet service WITH cable and that this entitled me to the service I had been receiving for the past three years - they would completely ignore that aspect of the bill. No matter how many times I pointed out the second line of the bill - it was ignored. The next month my bill went from $54.00/mo to $22/mo. Still they refused to acknowledge their mistake. This month I finally figured out why. It was so they could change the service and my bill to $45.00 for internet and $36.00 for standard cable. They are such a devious, unscrupulous company that cannot be trusted.

    I'm paying more for less.

    Unresolved issues for over a month - constant disconnects, severe packetloss. After 3 tech visits in one week (not the usual contracted help for once) the problem still hasn't been resolved. Cable tv and internet cuts in and out randomly, house has been rewired, connectors have been reconnected, splitters have been replaced, ALL by comcast, still the problem cannot be found. Not to mention the "your modem may be the problem" excuse has come up once. My modem doesn't connect to my tv nor does it have anything to do with the problems I am having with the cable that runs into my living room and transmits through my tv.

    I have been told I will be credited fo the time that I have been having the problem once the issue is fixed. What about the days of work I have missed to make their 8-12. 12-7 appts?!!

    This is the second time I'm having trouble with Comcast. The first time was when I was getting my cable and internet installed. Due to the comcast's dispatcher's fault, I could not get hold of the technician even though he was in my building. The technician ended up leaving and I had to reschedule for an appointment later that day. Customer service was atrocious with one customer service representative hanging up on me because I demanded to speak to her supervisor. I called back and described the situation to the supervisor who was completely unsympathetic to the fact that the dispatcher had messed up, that one of his employees had been rude and the fact that I had taken a whole day off from work. He said I could either take the measly $20 inconvenience fee or nothing at all.

    Three weeks later, the cable went out and I scheduled another appointment with comcast in the late afternoon. 1-5pm. at 2 08pm a Comcast dispatcher called me to confirm if I was still available for the appointment and I confirmed that I was. I called back Comcast around 3 to make sure if the technician was still on his way. The customer service representative confirmed that the technician had two more appointments ahead of me and would be here shortly. At 4 31, I spoke to another customer service representative who told me that the technician would be an hour late. Mind you, Comcast did not have the courtesy to call me and notify me of this, I had to call them myself. I called back at 5 31 to find out what the status was, and I was told to call back after 6, because there is a grace period of an hour for the technician to show up late. Again I was offered a measly amount of $20 for my 'inconvenience.'

    Their billing department is horrid. If you decide to use comcast (or are forced to), make sure you keep an eye on every single item on your bill. Also, when you sign up or change something on your account, make SURE you get a quoted price and the name of the rep. So far everytime I changed the services with them they have screwed it up. they bill it totlly incorrect, and when you call back they have no clue who did what. the relationship between the field technicians and CSA's is non existant, and even from the technician's say its horrible. as a comcast customer, having cable tv and cable internet... you are actually treated like two different customers.

    Cable internet techs have no training on cable tv, and vise versa. So when you are trying to cooridinate billing, you have to switch back and forth between these departments, who you have to explain you're deal over and over again. i complained about his and they have this wonderful (sarc) Retension department. i believe these are people who have worked both tv and internet and know the packages and prices well, cause obviously no one there has ANY technical knowledge about the service. my advice is to keep your changes and transactions and SIMPLE as possible.

    Ordered "On Demand" movie for the 1st time in Nov. 2005. I get the bill, and there are charges for the movie I ordered, plus 2 additional movies. The 2 additional movies were ** movies, and one was in Spanish, and I don't even speak Spanish. And I was out of town when these movies were supposedly ordered. I called Comcast and had to wait for a supervisor to call me back 3 days later.

    The charges were finally removed, but they swore up and down that those movies were ordered thru my remote even though no one was in the house. So, here we are 3 months later, and I ordered 2 "On Demand" movies last month. Again, I was charged for 2 ** movies that I never ordered. I called in and talked to a smartbutt named Mike (refused to give last name or last initial) and he says that I ordered these movies. Again, I ask to speak to a supervisor, and again I am told they will have to call me back because they are "busy doing other things", according to Mike.

    I am irate, this proves that Comcast does not care about handling customer concerns, all they care about is making extra money. I believe they chose to put ** movies on my bill for 2 reasons: 1. they cost more than regular movies and 2. they think that people will be too embarrassed to call in and dispute the charges. The management and representatives at Comcast should be ashamed to work for such an immoral company. I am trying to find other reasonable cable and internet service in my area, but Comcast has a lock on the market here. Thankfully I will be moving in the next 6-9 months anyway.

    I have had AT&T/Comcast services, digital TV, High Speed Internet and phone service for almost 4 years with very good service. I have had a few normal troubles, but they were always resolved quickly. Because of this service, I had recommended Comcast to neighbors. In September of 2005, when I had a problem, Comcast’s service all of a sudden was not up to the standards that I had come to expect. After an outage, it took almost a week to respond to a call. We started to notice speed problems with our High Speed Internet and dropouts with our digital TV.

    In December of 2005, the High Speed started dropping out enough that simple Web pages were difficult to display. In January, it changed from happening once a week or so, to several times a week. It was totally unreliable. Because Comcast could not get technicians out when the problem was happening, by the time they arrived, the problem would disappear. After having 4 or 5 technicians out to our house, they confirmed that the problem was not in our house. At that point they were supposed to open a maintenance work order, but it never got opened.

    Multiple phone calls to the normal trouble line produced no results. These people were not able to troubleshoot the problem to the root of the cause. They are only trained to trouble shoot the single home that is called in, not an entire network that may be experiencing the problem. The most disturbing issue is, Comcast is not able to track all of the issues reported to them in order to recognize a wide spread problem. Also, after the initial contact and report is made, there is no way to get back and talk with the same person that was working on the issue. This results in completely retroubleshooting the issue and complete frustration on the part of the customer. Comcast is totally unresponsive to their customers.
