Personally called Xfinity Cust. Solutions on Jan 7 or 8 of 2020 to formal cancel triple play service. On Jan 8, new provider attempted to re-neg on agreed to terms of deal. Called Xfinity - Jan 08 - to see if I could stop cancellation if necessary... Was told that tel. number was already in the transfer to new service and the cancellation of services will have to occur first...then I could re-establish "new" Xfinity service. Worked out my issues with new service provider... never again communicated with Xfinity knowing that the cancellation was processing.
An Xfinity invoice arrived in Feb - my wife paid invoice assuming it was our final statement! An Xfinity invoice arrived in March with even higher than typical, past monthly fees??? Called Xfinity Customer Solutions - March 19 - spoke with Jennifer - understand that I prompted thru the menu as a "cancellation call"... Jennifer was nice enough... the script calls for thanking you for being a customer for "35" years... and then as we dove into my cancellation issues... lots of hold time to research my claims of Jan 7-8th previous cancellation...."no record of cancellation" was the response. Of course I suggest that they should review the infamous "recorded conversation'... some general talk around... and she asked what was my confirmation number from that date? Folks if there was one issued, I did not record it... SO HERE IS MY POINT - WRITE DOWN THE CANCELLATION CONFIRMATION NUMBER IN BLOOD.
This cost me approx 700.00 for two months of service that I was certain that was canceled. IN CONCLUSION: Service Corporations can become VINDICTIVE when termination or cancellation enters the conversations... do they think that I will not spread the details of this DUMB treatment of a "35 year client!!!" at the end... what perverted methods do they deploy when an individual passes away... soak the dead guys estate! I know at least a dozen people with second homes and two cable bills. I will share the newest approach that my son proved to me - was better than traditional Cable TV... it's simple... get an Internet Provider as stand alone (FIOS in my case in PA) and then buy from the streaming menu of availability... YouTubeTV, Netflix, Disney, Amazon Prime... less expensive for sure, but only 20 to 25 % w/o HBO... Fare Thee Well Xfinity... and spend those last few dollars you stole to develop better policies.

My experience at Comcast in Jackson MS was horrible. One of the cashiers was rude. She was so rude she needs to be fired. I’ve been with Comcast since 2012 and this is the first time I experienced something so dreadful. This ugly girl treated me like I had the coronavirus. She probably has it herself. She didn’t even try to help me. It didn’t matter what I said she was running **. It took everything I had not to slap her. She wasn’t worth me losing my dignity. I called Tmobile with the same problem and they agreed with me and tried to fix the problem. This ugly girl didn’t even try and I’m so angry. I’m going to keep trying until she is fired for being so rude. They are firing people everyday. She is a horrible person and don’t need to work in customer service. This one girl makes me want to leave Comcast. I pay almost 200 a month and i refuse to be treated like I’m a nobody when I honestly can say me and my husband probably makes 5 times as much money as she makes.

I guess what you should expect from a monopoly. I have been a Comcast customer for 13 years now. Not because they are the best, but because they have no competition. I was finally in a plan that I liked, just internet service at a reasonable rate. Suddenly I receive a call from someone at Comcast sales offering a special promotional plan with Streampix for $90, but I can try it for 30 days and if I don't like it I can go back to the plan I currently have. I thought, "Wow, that's a great deal; I wouldn't mind trying Streampix, worst case I switch back."
After a week, I decided the content was not good enough to justify the 20 percent increased cost per month in addition. I called Comcast to switch back to my previous plan. Suddenly they need to verify my account number. Interesting that that wasn't done to sell me your new plan. Oh, and wait for it, here it comes... I can go back to my previous plan, but I cannot get my previous promotional pricing. I ask to speak with a manager because this is unacceptable, and they claimed they were already the expert and nothing can be done. Thanks Comcast, you really know how to take care of your customers..and yes, I am being sarcastic. I have had poor experiences before, but this angered me enough to write a review. Just about had enough of this poor quality of service going around.

I do not like being forced to pay for sports channels as I am not a sports fan. I am also being charged $8.25 for the regional sports fee as well as $14.95 for a Broadcast fee. Comcast should offer a package without sports.

I was told my account was good to go up 21 Jan when I planned to cancel with no extra charges. Cancelled my account on 21 Jan after talking with a couple of agents and was told again I would not have any further charges. Sent all my boxes and remotes back through FedEx. Received a bill yesterday saying I owe $101.90 now. Called and asked why and then was told my billing date was not 21 Jan and that my billing cycle was 11 Dec to 11 Jan and was then billed for remaining days 12-21 Jan. I would have cancelled on 11 Jan if I knew this.
I expressed to them how it was explained to me by a number of agents and they did not care. First lady I spoke with started a dispute process then hung up before finishing the process. Called back and got a rude guy this time telling me that I HAD TO PAY FOR SERVICE that we used and that was it. I said I want to finish the dispute process and he said that this process could take 30-60 days and that I would have to pay anyways most likely. I said start the process and that I didn't care how long it took. He told me I would receive a text and an email about the dispute once the call ended....still no email or text about dispute and it’s been over 2 hours now.
Pretty sure the way business is done here that it will not happen and I will have to call back and do it all over again. This is why Xfinty Comcast is failing and we left after being with them from May 2015 till Jan 2020 and treated like crap! Pretty sure that I will have wasted my time here addressing this issue and no one will get back with me either. Will just have to wait and see...

I was excited when Comcast came to my neighborhood and was able to get service with them. However a unforeseen move occurred which was within my 30 day money back. I have had to talk to countless agents after realizing that service was not available in my new home. Thought my service was canceled since I received email stating so but weeks later I have a charge on my debit card for $238? Which my bank charged a $35 overdraft fee. I am still on the phone daily trying to get this rectified and unable to use my debit card until it is fixed. Countless mistakes by many people I have spoken to which in turn has made me have to spend excessive amount of time trying to work through this! I would like to speak to someone who could solve this quickly!!

I have been with Comcast more than 20 years and I thought they had made some improvements but over the past year they have removed channels that I signed up for without notice while charging me the same. I opted for their highest package getting everything they offered paying over $200 a month then they said I had to pay extra for the sports package which they dropped me a few times and I had to contact them to get them to put it back doubling the price at one point.
Then a few months ago I am searching for a show that is on Cinemax but it said I needed to subscribe to but I had Cinemax since day 1. They told me there was a change and that I had to pay for the subscription, but they had replaced it with Epix but I had to pay the same price for all the channels. Well, today I found out that Starz has been dropped and that I have to subscribe to it and oh, I have Epix! How can a business do this to their customers without notice and without compensation? This is simply wrong and unethical. Unbelievable!

Worst service ever. Disconnecting and never come back to this service. First, when I got the service an agent installed internet service from Xfinity Comcast. He's a liar and tries to sell you stuff you don't want. He left a TV box and a remote even though I told him that I do not need them. The connection is slow most of the time. I contacted Xfinity many times to come and get their tv box and remote control and they said that I have to return them to any xfinity store otherwise they are going to charge me $200.

I have been with Comcast for the past 5 years. I am on a very tight budget so I call them at the end of each promotional deal to see what else they can offer as I cannot afford the increases in price. Each time they offer me a price I agree and then within a few months the price has gone up. This past month there was another 9 dollar increase. This puts me 17 dollars over what I agreed to. I called their billing company and all I heard was their fees went up from outside fees its not their fault and for them to take anything off my bill it will cost $230.00 dollars.... None of this is acceptable to me.
If I break the terms of the contract they charge me but they can break the terms by increasing the cost? I have No movie channels, on demand works once in a while. I don't need 150 channels. I just want basic TV which until the cable companies came along use to be free! So I know in June I have to go to just wifi. No longer will be the days of simply turning on the TV and watching thanks to the Cable Companies. It's now a luxury!

All shows on every channel you subscribe to are turned into premium subscriber viewing only even midway throughout the show. Even AS you're watching. They care not at all for their customers, and make you pay premium services just to watch a show on demand associated with a channel you already subscribe to. A whole category dedicated to 'free' movies that all of a sudden aren't free after 20 mins of watching. Nevermind the fact that you are already paying and these shows and movies are not free at all. Cuts you off constantly. Has a monopoly making Comcast your only choice in your neighborhood. Needs to be fought with extreme duress because their business practices are unethical to the extreme. If you want to watch twenty minutes of a show or movie and be cut off by a paywall, this is the service for you.

I've been a subscriber to Comcast for 9 years. A few years ago a Comcast rep came to our condos and promised guaranteed lifetime pricing for our condos, a fixed rate for every condo in our building. We bought into this lie. Last year they denied ever promising us this. Our rates have been raised twice in one year and we get 6% bulk billing increases annually as well. So 3 rate increases in 12 months!!!! Now they took away Starz premium channel but if we opt back in its only $5/more per month!!! So now 4 increases in 12 months!!!
I’m so angry I can’t believe how we’re treated as customers. It’s appalling, disgusting and dishonest. We need to band together and demand fairness in their rates, customer service and insist they adhere to what they promise. We’re getting Google Giber laid in our neighborhood now, I’m leaving Comcast ASAP. I hope everyone votes their anger and leaves Comcast as well.

For less than stellar reliability and products, DISMAL customer service, you can expect annual rate increases of ridiculous amounts. Mine average about a whopping 30% each year. No sense in signing up for an introductory rate unless you are willing to change services when it's up. While other carriers I've worked with incorporate modest increases that hover more closely to the 1.5% (ish) inflation rate, Xfinity has no problem inducing post-holiday sticker shock stroke to all its customers. Each year. Can such carriers really increase their rates by whatever ridiculous amount they want?

I switched to Xfinity Mobile to get better service & reception for less than what I would be paying to the other providers in my area. What I actually got: Sub-standard customer service. Spotty reception. Unhelpful customer service agents that make it extremely difficult to close the account. What happened: I moved to an area that couldn't get Comcast Internet & Cable. I had to cancel my account, which immediately doubled my phone bill. For MONTHS I tried to get internet, and for months I was told that they were installing it in my area. Never got a date. I work from home, so I was boosting off of my mobile device because no one else provides internet or cable to my apartment - which is in the middle of Fort Lauderdale. All of my neighbors not living in the complex can get service. Despite having an unlimited plan, after 10gb of data, I was charged more. Why? Because their fine print says they will, even on the unlimited plan.
So I tried to get another line. I figured I could use the second phone as a hotspot. NOPE - I could not get another line because I couldn't get internet service for my location. Then I get promotional material to my door about getting pay as you go wifi from Comcast, so I call to ask about that. Nope - can't even get that at my apartment. So, I closed my account. I was told to return the phone with a $35 restocking fee. Can't mail it in, so I have to go to a store. I go to the store and guess what? Can't return the phone to make them stop charging me for it. I can't remove my card on file. I can't get them to stop charging me.
And what they suggest? GET COMCAST INTERNET SO I CAN GET BACK ON THEIR PHONE PLAN! That I still cannot get in my area. Yea, don't bother with these guys. Unhelpful, overpriced, shady business practices, and a lack of transparency about what you are actually buying. Go with literally anyone else for better customer service and phone service.

All I can say is that I do not understand has there has not been a class action lawsuit against this company-this is not a threat or anything close, but if any other industry had the deceptive practices that Comcast has they would be out of business. You simply cannot lie and take people's money and not be able to fix a problem-it is unacceptable.
If you have such poorly trained customer service phone reps then do not offer this service and go to another method as your reps are absolutely pathetic-they do not know what they are talking about and will simply tell you anything to get you off the phone-and-if you are a person with half a brain and you question their answer-they will tell you someone will get back to you and hang up. No one ever gets back to you-your account is all messed up, and all you get as an answer is "sorry there is nothing we can do to help." What other business in the world could get away with taking your money and not adhering to the service that was promised? After reading reviews on many websites I see that I am not the only one with these feelings about the lack of customer support and basically the unethical treatment of their customers. Horrible.

I have been a Comcast customer for years and this is the first time that I felt cheated by the company. I renewed my cable subscription contract on Apr 2019 (2 years). Not too long after doing so, they remove Cinemax from my channel line up and replaced it with Hitz, which is a terrible network compared to Cinemax. I was naturally upset, but shortly after that, they included Epix on my package for free. I was relieved by this move, at least the movies shown on Epix is comparable to the quality of movies on Cinemax. Yesterday, I received an email informing me that Starz will be removed from my package soon. I communicated with their customer service, but they were not helpful in resolving my issue.
I was happy with the original channel line up before I signed my renewal, and now that I signed it, they simply made some changes without my approval? This is ridiculous! I am not a lawyer, so I don't know if this move by Comcast is a breach of contract or not, but one thing I know is that it is simply irresponsible and immoral for any seller to make any changes on the contract after it was signed by the buyer or customer. Why can't they simply wait until the end of my contract before making any changes, then inform me about the changes, if I decided to renew my subscription? So future customer - BEWARE!

Xfinity/Comcast, increases your bill without any notification, then they refuse to adjust it. The customer service talks down to you and does not understand most of the time what you're asking. They are money grabbers. I tried to delete some channels because I don't ever watch them and they told me I can't, it's all in a package which ends up being more money!! They are not great price and service is spotty and not great for phone use. I do not recommend them. Always a hassle to get on the phone with them.

I do not understand some businesses. Ok, so Comcast is losing hundreds of thousands of customers due to new streaming companies...but instead of giving streaming companies a run for their money and lowering their costs to get their customers back...they are going to keep hiking the rates for customers that are still with them. I understand yeah it's probably really expensive to maintain their "in space satellites" but offering a really good package of internet and cable with a good price could bring them in billions because Comcast is the best.
I have been with Comcast since I moved from home...18 years ago...and never ever ever have I had a problem. When it rains... I still have tv, when the wind is blowing... I still have tv. I love my internet...but my bill has increased every year higher and higher. I'll call and they will put it back down maybe 10.00 but take more and more channels away. Last year we learned of the roku so that saved us some box rental fees. Now I hear they will be increasing more in 2020. I don't want to leave but I think I'll be one of their 2020 customers leaving and going to streaming with the live tv option. Don't want to but they are forcing me along with the other hundreds of thousands. I imagine Comcast is heading to the same downfall as Toys R Us, Sears, J.C. Penney's, and many other stores we grew up with. Mr. or Mrs. Comcast...your 200 million dollar yacht is better than no yacht!

I signed up with them. They asked for a 50.00 deposit which I was fine with. Ask for the self install kit because there was Xfinity in the home before I moved in. Got equipment. Tried to install. Was unable to do it myself. Called for help. They said, "Not my problem," and I would have to have a tech come out and spend 70.00 for him to come out. New customer. Said I could not afford to have a tech come out especially when I found better deals with free install. They set me up with the tech anyway. After I asked them not to. Tech shows next day and said, "Either way I'm here. You have to pay the 70.00." I tried saying no and he said again, "Either way I'm out here. Your bill will reflect the 70.00 charge." I said, "Fine. Whatever. Do what you have to."
He comes back 3 mins later and said, "Okay. You're all set. Everything works." Just a wire not plug into our box or whatever... I called back. Explain to rep what the tech said that it was not something I was missing, that it was their box. And still she said, "Well we came out. You will pay." So I asked about returning the equipment as they have the 30 day money back. She states, "You can't do that. You had a tech come out." I'm bringing the equipment back to the store as soon as I get off work today. As I just got an email that with services the tech charge and a 1 time activation fee my bill is 300.00-50.00 that I gave at time of set up. That's the same amount as all my utilities put together and my cell phone. That's horrible.

After promotional pricing ended, the CS agent in the Pompano Store gave us no option but to cut the cord. Our bill went up over $30 a month. His demeanor was polite but kept his eyes on tbe keyboard and told us to call the 1-800 number. Long time customers are not important from the experience we had. When we returned the equipment to close the account, Pompano Store agent Isandra (courteous and professional) offered us a monthly price that beat the original promo but too little, too late. Too bad we didn't have her as our original agent. Much happier with our new service although we would have stayed with Xfinity if the rate had not increased so drastically.

Comcast is one of the worst companies I’ve ever been with. I used to have them years ago, and I hated their poor customer service; then I switched to Fios that was better then. The only reason I got back to Comcast because of the tremendous solicitation, I ended up liking a promotion going on for two years contract. After calling customer service several times to be clear with the price and won’t go up on me during the contract; they assured me that it won’t. Long story short they just increased the price on me because of the new year; and I called them and got the worst customer service with attitude.
I asked to cancel the service; customer service representative who said it’d cost me ninety dollars to break the contract; I asked to talk to a supervisor which was two days ago; and I just received the call back today from Sean who’s the supervisor who’s pretty much said the same thing over, but he added that I’d pay $180 to end my contract. He offered to hear my previous call because I was told different information. However he said even if the agent wasn’t accurate; nothing would change and I’d pay $180.
I told him if we’re not valued customer to Comcast; why all the solicitation in the first place. I even told him I’d stay a customer, but I’m not happy with the increase because I’m on budget; he pretty said he can’t do anything; and offer me to cancel the service but pay the termination fees. Bottom line I used to disagree with people who change their service periodically based on deals because I like to stick with the same vendor for good. I’ll cancel the service though and be with whoever value their customer with no more contracts. P.S. Some of their customer service representative are rude and untrained.

Due to outlandish rates for a poor product, and the sneaky removal of popular channels from our plan, we decided to go "rock bottom" to what we could afford. We also went from automatic billing, to paying by check. There were limited channels before, but we now have close to nothing except for foreign language shows. Comcast became confused with our change in billing method, and stated we owed them a substantial amount, which was not accurate. In trying to correct their error, Comcast cut off our service of 25 years.

Was told we could save another 15 a month if we got our own modem... guy even told me what kind to get and said I could find it on Amazon for around $65.

No biggie, only when I arrived at the address from the sign at the old store, there was no store! Googled closest Comcast store... yup, 15 minutes away! Ha, returned my stuff. Had to agree to a higher monthly bill than what was agreed upon when this all started. Called customer service. Nothing they can do. Prices change. What?

Here’s the truth. Comcast is launching “The Peacock Network” on 04/15/2020 and are telling Xfinity subscribers they’ll be getting the network for “free”.
**! It’s not free - they are having all their subscribers pay for the network with their huge surcharge increase. They think we are all idiots by having us start paying for it 3 months early and no choice to decline the offering. Then, when the network launches they can call it a huge success, with an immediate 24 million customers and hundreds of millions in already collected revenue. It’s time the FCC mandated a la carte pricing so these networks are all held accountable. I would drop the ultra expensive sports channels in a flash if a choice was offered. File online complaints with the Senators that represent you in Washington. WE NEED A LA CARTE pricing.

Service is terrible, first time you call they route you to a overseas call center that only can send a signal to the X1. They do not have access to do anything else. I was in the line for 45 minutes. They did not solve anything. Next day the issue was resolve. @ days later DVR programs are pixelated. Thanks. Good. Some lady in the US took my call and is sending someone to fix the issue. Please Comcast eliminate your overseas or change the way they work. Ask for the problem and say, "Tomorrow or in 2 days we will fix the issue," but do not leave a customer in the line for 45 minutes and do not solve the issue.

Like so many other reviewers, we don't understand how the "contract" with Comcast is only for their benefit. They can remove included TV channels and tack on additional so-called "fees", but we are locked in to their service for the period of the so-called "contract". We also pay for so-called "blast" internet but never receive the advertised speed. We agree with the other reviewers who wonder how this company stays in business and how this is all legal.

I recently ended my one year honeymoon with Comcast Xfinity and renewed at a much higher rate. I got the bill and it went up another $30.00 from the agreed upon amount in less than a month. I called and talked to several mouthpieces that give nonsatisfaction. They just repeat their scripts and then ask "is there anything else I can help you with". Really you just ** up my day and you have the nerve to ask that. In less than 30 days it went up due to a price increase. I stated I have a contract, but that doesn't matter. Xfinity like all the cable providers just screw you and every time you make a change they try to drag you into another two year contract; after the one you have is worthless.

Had Comcast Xfinity Internet and tv service and my bill was supposed to be $165 a month. As the months went on the bill kept inflating every month after the 4th month. Comcast offered a free preview week for all 3 premium movie channels. After the preview was over Comcast decided to go ahead and just charge me for all 3 channels with out my consent. My bill every month was close to $300 every month and over $400 a few months in a row. The bill got out of control and I fell behind on it because I was on a treadmill trying to keep up. I called in 4 times to get them to remove the channels and charges and told them I never added them and the channels were added automatically after a free preview. They would claim every time i called that they would be removed and fees and I will see it “on the next bill” and the bill will be “pro rated”. That’s Comcast’s code words they always use.
I finally got them to budge after the 3rd call. Then the next months bill generated and HBO was still on the account and I was being charged for it. So that’s where we arrive at the 4th call to get them to remove the channel and fees. Now the bill is still over $200 from $165 and they keep charging fees and late fees. Now to add insult to injury my introductory pricing ends in December of 2019 so my bill will go up again. I kinda feel like this tactic is used by Comcast to get Customers used to paying higher prices after their introductory pricing ends. I decided to just end the service and move on and stop allowing Comcast to scam me every month. Comcast’s billing practices are fraudulent. If you decide to get Comcast’s services go through your bill with a fine tooth comb every month so you’re not another victim.

My experience with Comcast/Xfinity has been nothing short of infuriating. I have experienced multiple issues ranging from lockups and unsolicited reboots to the most current lockups on viewing all recorded shows. When calling customer support you have to endure the gauntlet of IVR questions only to connect to agents with technical knowledge that does no reach beyond what they read on their PC screens. When requesting to speak with a supervisor there are NEVER any available. The agent will not send you to tech support until after they have wasted an hour of your time running useless tests.
Tech support is only a half step better but is not saying much. I have found much better results in solving issues by reading the various forums and following the recommendations of other customers. As an engineer of over 30 years I treated as though I am a third grader that has never seen a television. I have replaced my set top box many times sometimes only to find that the replacement box is worse than the one that I swapped it for.
The phrase “Comcast Cares” is pure BS. If they did the notes on my account would indicate that I have been plagued with problems for a long time and my complaint would be addressed at a higher level. I have had numerous promises of returned that never happened as I am sure many others have as well. My recommendation to anyone that has had a long and frustrating relationship is to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau of Pennsylvania. Maybe that will get some attention and hopefully some action.

Original Review: 4 minutes ago. The whole experience started when I decided to get services over the phone. I had services with them in Colorado and it was horrible and every way possible but just like here, they have the monopoly. No competition. Throw Cox Communications here and you'll see things changing real quick. At first, to setup the account over the phone with customer service representative, was fairly easy and it took about 20 minutes. Very cordial but, after they get you...! I asked if there were any military veterans discounts and I was directed to this local store.
After that first call, the customer service representative transferred me to a technical support to setup my internet service before going to the store to pickup the cable box. It took those guys 40 minutes. Nothing worked. I was caught up in an installation loop and it was treacherous. The CSR told to setup the account over the internet (using the app on the phone and PC) and it kept referring me to that old account I mentioned at the beginning. I couldn't setup an account because my email and phone number was being used. They couldn't figure out so, they transferred me back to another customer service representative.
The next customer service representative asked for my information so he could access my account. I gave him everything... name, social security, phone number, address yet, he couldn't find my account. He said he needed an account number. The first customer service representative gave me that lengthy number but I thought I wouldn't need it since there was so many ways to get to my account. The customer service representative was adamant and he wanted that number. I felt kind. He noticed I was already upset and he decided to have some fun with it. I noticed in his condescending remarks and arrogant manner in which I was treated.
Since I have had prior bad experiences with this business, I decided to record the conversations for my protection. I told that customer service representative that I have that account number but I would have to refer to my recording. He told me to go ahead and that he would check on me every 2 minutes. When I finally, found the recording, I played for him and asked if he got the number; he said yes but he wanted to hear me saying to him. In the recording, as the first customer service read the numbers to me, I repeated to make sure it was correct... yet, he wanted to hear from me.
At that point, it became personal I guess. I read the number and still, took many attempts and another 30 minutes to setup my account. I was told that once Comcast have an account and close that account, the information stays there as if the account was still open. I then headed to this store at about 2 hours before its closing time. Upon arrival, a sales representative, opened the door for me... nice but it was almost no eye contact or satisfaction on his part. It felt like it was part of the script. He took off on a little maze of boots and he was cold as ice. I told him that I came to pickup the cable box and asked about that military veteran discount. Not acknowledged, not a word!
I knew this would be a problem so, before leaving home, I went to their site and signed up for the military veteran discount. I brought proof with me and, as I was showing to him on my cell phone, I glimpsed at his face and he was looking at his screen as if "oh leave me alone" kind of attitude. At that point, I gave up and treated him with the same disdain. "Well... that discount it's one time only..." he said. Then, I thought to myself about companies such as T-Mobile who acknowledges our service... what a difference. He then, threw the receipt inside the bag and took off towards the door with the bag in hands to open the door for me, just like the training teached him to do. Cold as ice and probably upset for being underpaid working late Saturday night. I was even nice enough to wish him a great weekend. Competition drives better services and better prices. Talking about pricing, this WILL be another battle with them, I'm sure.

When calling customer service, they explain the policies and it doesn't make sense not even to the representatives working for the company. They tell you although you have provided payment information and set up an arrangement within the appropriate time frame, that it's NOT a promise to pay and turn your services off! I'm fed up with this company, I'll be taking my business elsewhere and will not be recommending them to anyone for any services they provide!

I signed a 1 year contract with Comcast in Sept 2019 for Internet and the basic TV The deal they have offered me by chat (and I have a copy of the chat) was $ 50 per month less $ 10 for autopay, the total with tax was supposed to be $ 62.12 per month for 12 months, and of course they screwed with a charged me $ 79. I have claimed on the phone and my mail, they just recognized the error : here below the answer by email from the " executive customer relation":
"Our agent failed to apply the box charge of $5.00 on 08/30/2019. In order to provide the Basic cable service, box charge of $5.00 must be applied to the account". They made an error, they know it, but they refused to take care of 100% of this unknown charge but only 50%, what kind of business is that? And they have the monopoly in Florida. :-( I will run away from Comcast as soon as my contract will be terminated. Good luck to you.

Requested service to re-activate 1 of 2 TV jacks in the bedroom. Technician came out but never went to the bedroom. Instead tested our outside connection and said our box on the telephone pole was the issue. Really? All our other TV's, services work. Waited a couple of weeks to see if I would get a follow up call. I finally called to see if there would be. The technician's notes from the visit said that the technician did not have access. I was home and talking to the guy. How did he not have access? After talking to customer service on the phone, I declined another appointment. This is so bizarre you would send someone out to your house and not be able to re-activate a TV jack and write notes to say you had no access when I was standing right there. I would rate this as 0 stars if I could.

I signed a 2 year contract with Comcast in late May 2019. They already screwed me then, but I’m not going into that now. I specifically chose a package with TCM (Turner Classic Movies.) Last night, I tried I to watch the channel and it was gone, so I called Comcast and asked why. They told me TCM has now been moved to the “Sports & Entertainment Package” and was no longer part of my plan, I asked them how they can eliminate channels, when I signed a contract that both myself AND Comcast agreed to. There was no satisfactory answer, and they now want me to pay 9.99/mo for that channel.
And, one more question, how does a channel that shows old movies suddenly become part of a Sports Package? (I looked for the ‘Entertainment’ part of the package but saw zero “entertaining” channels.) What exactly is the point of having a contract if they can change it at any time? Why hasn’t Comcast had any class action lawsuits against them? I’ve had Comcast for ten years now, but will never sign another contract with them. I am so DONE! Their entire business model is based on ripping people off. It’s beyond time to break up the monopoly Comcast has on cable and internet services in this country.

After more than 25 years and thousands of dollars I could not be more disgusted with the reckless attitude of Comcast/Xfinity. The most recent fiasco I had to tolerate which once again cost me unnecessary losses simply because of extremely poor customer service and technicians who refuse to listen to the customer. Comcast is monopolizing services in my area and a Dish is the only alternative which is not a suitable option. I emailed the corporate office as I have in the past and each time it's a different person with a hollow apology for gross incompetence. The packages and monthly charges are extreme and complicated.

I have been using Comcast for years in Houston and now I moved to Georgia 2 month ago so I called them month before I my move to transfer my services to my new address in GA and I was told that they don’t provide services in that area so they would have to cancel my services. I said ok. I will turned in my equipment and I gave them my move date. So when I went to returned my equipment they didn’t have any idea because they had no notes about my call or anything so I had to start all over again. And then they told me that I would have an early termination fee and I was like, "Why? I have used your services for long time and I was not told over the phone." She said she don’t know.
So when I made a change in my plan year ago because they had raised my bill they put me in two year contract and I didn’t know so when I got my final bill and they charged me $180 termination fee I called and talked with 4 different people spending 1 hr. The result is zero because when they transfer you from 1 person to another person and you tell them your situation over and over and still they tell you they can’t do anything. So now I have this bill and no answers. So be aware of what you sign not what you hear.

I've been dealing with Comcast for 4 months to get cable installed in a new construction home.

I've been calling every other day for the last 3 weeks and every person I talked to just tells me 60 to 90 days and says that they can't do anything. I can't get answers from anyone I talked to so it looks like I'm probably never going to get cable.
And to make matters even worse when I turn in my old equipment from our previous home because new people moved in and needed to connect their service they charged me a fee for terminating my service early but told me if I hooked up new service within 120 days that would be waived but I can't get them to put my service in no matter how hard I try. We have not had any trouble getting gas, electric or anyting else up to the house. Comcast is an unorganized mess and nobody knows what they're doing when you talk to them on the phone.

After many calls back and forth, Comcast did accept the date of Aug 24th as the shut off date and adjusted the bill. Why Aug 24th? Should have been July 24th for 2 reasons. 1. The Comcast Rep I talked with on July 24th should have told me Comcast didn't support Pensacola and the account would have been turned off at that date. 2, Comcast turned off my service a few days after that initial July 24th transfer of service call.

Comcast did not give a rat's ** that I could not communicate with my loved one but if you are late on a payment they cry like babies.
So recently I cancelled my bundle of cable, internet and landline and had to keep my mobile plan because I still have a balance with them. Guess what Comcast did?

COMCAST has always been a bad customer service experience for me but it appears that the larger the organization gets the more difficult it is to get any honesty from them. I'll not go into other issues where there was either a billing issue or a technical issue because there have been many. If only this company was not a monopoly. I feel that breaking the monopoly as the did with Ma Bell is very appropriate for COMCAST.
However, I digress: On Friday 10/12/2019 I had a channel line up that included Turner Classic Movie channel. On Monday that channel (as has happened with others, CMC, WGN, etc) the channel dropped off my options to become part of another channel package, The Sports and Entertainment Package. I contacted COMCAST CS and they informed me that yes even though I have an expanded line up, and was paying over $300.00 a month for service this option without prior notification had been moved to another package and for the low price of only $9.00 a month I could get it back.
Long story short I raised hell which got me to a "so called" supervisor who stated that since I was a 25 year customer he couldn't give me the individual station back bit would provide the package containing the TCM channel (because I don't watch sports that much) free of charge but he could not do it until the morning after 0800 and the system refreshed. He also stated that this new package would contain all the channels that I had previously had, CMC, WGN, etc. Said thank you and moved on.
Well guess what, 0800 next day no TCM access. Called customer service and lo and behold the entire conversation was a lie. TCM had moved to the Sports and Entertainment package with no prior notification, there was a note of my phone call but no notes of the action above that was stated to me AND if I wanted TCM I would need to pay $9.00 more per month and it would only include the TCM channel which I was receiving previously in my regular $300.00 a month bill.
This is so wrong on many levels the main one being lied to by one of their management personnel just to get me off the phone to changing a channel without notification that I previously had just to get me to pay an extra $9.00 a month after already having a $300.00 a month bill. This combined with other experiences has me saying that this company has no scruples and are extremely dishonest in the way they go about their business and interface with their customer base of which I have been for over 20 years. Obviously customer loyalty IS NOT one of their corporate goals. I still have other issues that go beyond this particular experience but I believe I will address that with a letter of complaint to the FCC, my local political representative (ha, ha) AND my local government which is listed as a co-provider of their monopoly (these people I can visit).
Some word to the wise: Do not trust their customer service associates or their managers to do as they say they will. Do when adding or changing service ask the "exact" amount of your total monthly bill or change to bill with tax included. Do expect to get switch and bait tactics. And last but not least expect NO CREDIT for being a loyal customer because I have been with COMCAST for almost 25 years and I might as well be a first time customer moving into my first apartment each time I call customer service. In my opinion as we the people look at large social media organizations for breaking into smaller more objective and customer focused companies, COMCAST should be included in that conversation. If they didn't have a monopoly they might be better organized.

Dear Comcast/Xfinity, The survey I completed may not have reached you yet, so here is my review of your service. For a bit of background the offer you made over two years ago, was a deal that I could not pass up. (Thanks) Since that "deal" was offered, I have had to call Xfinity every year to plead my case to say somewhat within that monthly price. It is important to note that I DO NOT have: HBO, Showtime, Starz, The Movie Channel, Cinemax, or any other Premium sports channel. I consider what I have is basic stuff and I was promised the cable, the TV, and the phone was to be bundled.
Earlier this week I was forced to call your company to reconnect my service and the rep. David said after an hour pulse of conversation did restore the service for 10-days, which turned out to be only 24-hours. David did admit the phone was NOT bundled as I requested and the Nexflix was added he said by me via the box. But to stop the service I had to do more WORK by calling Xfinity for an additional hour?
The next day, I was back on the phone, and handed off the three people, and was finally sent to the "so-called" Loyalty department? So, I have pay online what felt like extortion (noun: extortion; plural noun: extortion the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats. ) As it stands, I don't really know WHY Xfinity? What are you doing for me to justify more and more and more money without doing anything additional? Avargecost for bundle service. Can anyone somehow justify the milking for the service...

When I spoke with them about shutting off service after paying final bill it was not brought to my attention I'd be billed the $100 I received a bill a couple weeks later for this said $100 and that I was responsible to pay it.
Plus, I was also told that I'd get $13 back for returning my modem. That was also another lie. After spending precious time and expended energy to get good customer service Xfinity refused to rectify the situation. All they could tell me was "I'm sorry but ma'am you still owe $100." Very poor service and misleading information. Whenever you call in with an issue, you always speak to a different person and each person has a different level of competency and level of knowledge about their job. All employees should be trained and skilled trained on the same level and knowledge. All that shows in incompetent workers. I would consider your provider!!

I just spend 45 Minutes on the phone trying to cancel my services, because Comcast does not offer services where I'm moving to. They want me to pay 75% of the billing for the next 2 years which is about $2000.00 or find someone to take over the contract. That's gonna happen. What ever you do, do not sign a contract with them.

I am not even a customer, but a technician from Natrona Heights kept calling my daughter. She is 11 and I looked at the history and he has been calling her for months. She kept on rejecting the call. He called today on September 30th at 518 pm. I told him wrong number. This is an 11 year old's cell phone. He immediately hung up. Then he called back at 529. When I told him this is still the 11 year old's cell phone he said, "No. It's not. This is the number I have," I told him, "Well someone lied. I'm pretty sure she does not have any cable in her name." He told me "well you have a great at ** day" in the most rudest way one can curse at another man. And then hung up. He is continuing to call. I am very close to calling the police. If this is how Comcast is then I recommend nobody use them!

Do not get this service. They are the worst. If you have a problem they will not make it right unless you call and complain every day. My cable was installed incorrectly for 2 years and because I only called 1 time a week they only credited me 75.00 instead of the hundreds of dollars they should have. The last straw was today when they took 193.00 out of my account unauthorized. Do not use them! Monopoly and Frauds!

This cable Company by far is the worst cable provider for the South Fl area. The routers they give you are not secure in any way. Over 3000 attempts to break in to the firewall security team did nothing about it. After numerous calls and complaints that their router was being hacked emailed them all firewall logs proving this to be the case nothing was ever done about it. Customer service is no better. All of customer service representatives are liars and treat there customers like they are worthless and do not matter.
They have people that show up to your home unannounced after giving you a specific date to do work ie burying the cable line. I was awoken by my dog going crazy because this gentlemen took it up himself to enter my property with no appointment scheduled for this day and without even confirming with me the homeowner to come on to the property. He took it upon himself to enter my property without my knowledge or consent what did I find him doing? Talking on his cell phone by the cable box outside. Took it upon himself to open the box where the cable line runs in to and was doing God knows what there while he was on the phone when allegedly he was there to bury a wire which has nothing to do with him opening up the box where the line runs in to when the wire was in plain view on the floor and had been for well over a month.
To top it all off the last representative that I spoke with had the nerve to lie and say they do not give a schedule date and time for this to be done when I was specifically told by a representative a date and time he would arrive on 2 occasions. They even have an automated service that calls with a specific message that states this. On top of that the representative tells me there will be an early termination fee for me canceling services due all the issues I am having with them and I was only a customer for 2 months. They refuse to let you speak to any kind of supervisor. Customer service even told me they have no retention team in place when a customer wants to cancel service due to unsatisfaction on their services.
Their so called secure wifi router is far from secure. I have had multiple attacks on the firewall through ipv6 wanna attack hacks ipv6 input drop hacks which I brought up to the so called security team. They give you a reference number just to get you off the phone and never did anything to resolve their router being hacked. The speeds you pay for which I got the best speed possible of 1 gig in the 2 months I was a customer. Their internet service was completely unreliable and inconsistent is an understatement.
I would suggest that nobody choose this as a internet or cable provider or even worst choose them to protect your home with there home security options This by far is the worst internet cable company around. Never choose nor should you trust this company to keep your private information secure or any kind of privacy in general. If you value security privacy and any kind of peace of mind that your information is safe this is not the company that will meet those standards. If you value honest and caring customer service representatives this is definitely not the company you should choose. All their so called bells and whistles are just that bells and whistles of worthless technology. Please learn from my nightmare with this company and Never trust or choose them to handle your internet/cable/security/privacy.

Comcast is a lousy service provider and, arguably, practices predatory business practices towards small businesses. The representative did not disclose a 60 day termination policy which is buried in boilerplate language.

Xfinity customer service is STILL awful!! Their self install kits are pure FRAUD. I was a Xfinity customer for ten years of being on hold for an hour+ waiting for customer service before I spent fours better years with DirecTV. When I moved to Florida and wanted just high speed internet and I thought I'd try Xfinity again. When ordering online I was prompted if I needed an install person to visit for $70 or did I just want to just self install kit. I was asked to enter my address, and it confirm if I was eligible to do so, and I did.
Self install kit arrives but after hooking it up, everything worked except I couldn't access the internet. That night I spent hours moving it to other cable outlets and thinking I was doing something wrong. Finally I gave up and had a text/chat with Xfinity the next day. After about 15 minutes they informed me they'd have to send out a technician, without saying why. I had to press them twice for why, and an answer as to whether or not the internet was actually active outside the house/street (supposedly confirmed when ordering) before they admitted it was not "on" at the street.
They told me that now - after wasting hours of my time (worth more than $70 BTW) that I'd have to pay the $70 anyway. I refused and asked a supervisor to call. Someone from the "escalation center" called and when I told her I was going to cancel my brand new service if I was going to have to pay the $70 on top of wasting several hours of my life on a self install kit Xfinity has no business selling customers on.
Why shouldn't Xfinity be selling self install kits? Because this supervisor told me with millions of houses, they just can't be "sure" a significant percentage of these houses are actually ready for a self install kit. THEN DON'T SELL SELF INSTALL KITS. It's fraudulent to frustrate your customers only to turn around and force them to pay additional $70 anyway, to send a technician out.
I almost opted to pay the $70 in the beginning and wish I would have. But now it's a matter of principle! So, the supervisor (who could have cared less) begin to happily process my cancellation, telling me I have to do all the work to send back the equipment. Told me she wasn't authorized to waive more than $20 of the $50 and nobody above her was either.
I owned and ran three private schools for thirty years and I am still an Xfinity business customer - and I know this is no way to treat customers or run a business. Now I'm sure many Xfinity corporate employees can tell you how much it costs to get each new customer (I'm sure, it's hundreds of dollars). Yet Xfinity's elaborate "escalation center" that they probably spent millions of dollars creating - is all too willing to just toss away a customer over $50, when Xfinity caused the problem to start with by selling self install kits they shouldn't be selling. That's a lot of ill will and damage to Xfinity's reputation for $50. If someone from Xfinity's corporate office or customer relations doesn't reach out to me to solve this stalemate, my next call will be to the FCC and anyone else willing to investigate the fraud built in to Xfinity's "self install" program.

What a horrible experience! I have had Comcast my whole life and still in 3 different households that I have. So in this incident it started at the Comcast store in Elk Grove, Ca. I went into the store and decided with the Rep there to go ahead with their home alarm system to bundle with my cable/internet. So we made this whole bundle in an hour. I was really happy with the outcome (3 home camera's @ $120ea and $99 install fee, also 1gb internet speed and HBO & SHOWTIME included with removing my current STARS network & Home phone).
The bundle Came out to $210 after taxes and fees a month. I have 3 TVs which are HD. Tuesday these guys came to install the Alarm system which they called "the takeover". Guys at the store told me they will use my same ADT system and add sensors (which was weird to me because why would Comcast use ADT system?). They showed up and I opened my garage in which I store some personal things so I would like this to be secure (ADT has a motion detector and sensors on side door and door to inside my home).
First thing I happen to tell him was that I have a motion detector in my garage. He immediately told me Comcast can not arm the Garage with a motion or on the actual roll up door, which became a deal breaker for me, as this was part of the main deal. He calls his Comcast support to cancel the alarm system install. They were not able to come to a conclusion for a cost, so I went ahead and said I will call them so that the technician can go ahead and move on to his next install. I call Comcast about 30mins later to resolve this "re-bundle". With being on the phone for 1 hour and 9 mins they tell me my bill would be $200.57, in which I disagree due to the fact that I do not want to pay only $10 less for this system as I was getting the alarm included for $210.
This conversation went on with 4 people and them telling me they cannot do the deal. I asked for $180 and for them to include the 1gb internet and HBO at the least in which they offered for this deal, I also stated they can remove the Home phone service if needed. In my opinion after taking a day off and losing money for this and taking another day off for ADT to come and upgrade has become a huge hassle. I asked Comcast if they would even do anything for my inconvenience and they said "no we can not".
After this the Comcast "manager" on the phone offered me "coupons" in which I laughed and asked if they are serious? "Coupons" is what Comcast offered me in this whole disaster. After this I asked to speak to whoever is above this "manager" in which he tells me after putting me on hold again that his "Superior" will call me back with in the next "hour or 2". This is by far the worst I have ever dealt with and do not ever recommend anybody to ever go thru with Comcast and their "Home takeover Alarm". This is such an inconvenience and loss of money that I have ever had.

Comcast has become such a rip off and it’s easy to see why more and more people are opting for streaming services over cable. Comcast along with most cable companies are continuously raising prices but not improving the services they provide. Comcast recently stopped supporting TiVo’s Comcast app, premium channel apps are not supported, bundle packages include networks and shows that are predetermined subpar networks rather than packages tailored to customer interests. The final straw for me was the TiVo boxes no longer being permitted to stream Comcast and premium channels such as HBO & Showtime Apps are almost all incompatible, “Sorry your tv provider doesn’t support HBOGo”.
Honestly when you're paying $220 a month for a service as bad as Comcast you start questioning your own decision making abilities. For $50 a month you can buy internet, then purchase 2-6 streaming services at $10 a piece which is around $70-$110/mo. It’s simple math! Cable companies such as Comcast have been in a steep decline for quite some time, not to mention 90% of their customer service is outsourced to countries outside of the US so trying to convey your frustrations or resolve a problem is less than likely. I have resorted to leaving reviews and letting anyone know that was considering Comcast, well don’t!

Original Review: I have been a customer of Comcast Xfinity on and off for over 10 years. In suburban areas, the service was good but the price constantly goes up. Once I moved my service in 2016, the problems started. My service price increased in the same zip code. Since 2016 I have had problems with service, billing and the customer service has tanked. A new customer can sign on for 69.99 a month but if you pay on time and continue to use their service the bills increase every 12 months, and the channel lineup and service stays the same.
Customer service is a gamble. Usually it is a waste of your time. They play price games and you end exactly where you were, with no cost relief offered. I canceled after calling the customer loyalty department. They wanted to take away service and offer a price a couple dollars less than I was already paying. The woman on the other end seemed to be upset that I called in. I was not impressed with the lack of customer service.

Xfinity seems like a very corrupt business. The only reason why we don’t cancel them at this moment is because we are moving soon and it’s not worth the termination fees of another carrier. They constantly find ways of increasing costs and disguising those costs as various “technology fees,” so that your “contract rate” doesn’t actually go up. My husband made a call to find out why another increase, after three months in a row that the cost went up another $10, only to be pushed into another plan that would “decrease” the bill.
When we realized that we lost most of our channels, we called back the next day to go back to the plan that we had since we had lost most of our basic channels. We were then told after speaking with multiple people that we could not go back to the plan that we were on and then changed our price again. They are very difficult to deal with and are not customer service oriented at all. Can’t wait to go with another company and not have to be a hostage to them anymore.

I have lost my I.D. Discovery channel because Comcast tricked me into changing my service. I called Comcast to find out why I was being charged for "All Room DVR" when I could only access it from one TV out of 5 TV's in my home and to drop my HBO. I don't watch HBO and only had it for my husband who, unfortunately, passed away in November, 2017. I had not taken the time to review my Comcast invoice and finally decided I needed to remove the HBO and its $15.00 monthly charge.
However, when I called Comcast, I got duped into accepting a package which the agent said could save me money. I wasn't calling to save money. I pay $308.00 a month with Comcast Cable TV, Internet Service and Home security and cameras with Comcast's Xfinity Bundle. The person speaking with me by phone at Comcast never told me I would LOSE MY BELOVED I.D. DISCOVERY CHANNEL in this package that he was offering me which only saved me approximately $38.00 per month while he was touting a $60.00 per month savings.
I called Comcast from my work phone, and everybody who knows me knows that I am an ADDICT ABOUT I.D. DISCOVERY. Comcast's records will show that I watch I.D. Discovery 60 to 70% of my viewing time. When I got home, and immediately turned the TV on to ID Discovery, I got a message that said "Service Not Available". I called Comcast immediately and thought, "This guy messed up and inadvertently removed my ID Discovery." But they told me that since I changed service, I lost I.D. Discovery and 3 other channels.
I was not told this by the Comcast agent who changed my service. He told me the price he was offering would allow me to keep "everything I already had". Had the agent mentioned losing ID Discovery or any other channels, I would have ended the call. I stayed on the phone with three different agents on the night of August 16, 2019 and they all told me that I had been "grandfathered" in on the I.D. Discovery channel, but once I made a change to my account, I lost the I.D. Discovery and could NEVER GET IT BACK because Comcast no longer had a contract with I.D. Discovery.
I was duped into changing my service with Comcast dangling a carrot of financial savings in front of me without telling me that I'd lose anything, specifically not a loss of my FAVORITE CHANNEL, ID DISCOVERY. The Comcast agent event taunted me saying, "You approved it" when I called that night to change everything back because the earlier agent had sent me a text to approve the $270.00 program fee. I approved it on a lie because the Comcast Agent assured me that this package would allow me to KEEP EVERYTHING I ALREADY HAD.
No one at Comcast can do anything about this deception and when I asked that everything be changed back the way it was, I was told I couldn't change back once the change was made and it severed my "grandfathered in" status for ID Discovery. I am appalled and angry. While one agent that night told me that all agents are trained to advise customers of the four channels they would lose in the new package, a review of Comcast's recorded calls can prove that I was never told about losing any channels, and, in fact, the agent specifically said, "You will keep everything you already have."
I have made a complaint with the FCC online. I have written a four-page letter to the City of Chicago Department of Consumer Protection, and I plan to file a lawsuit in Federal court this week against Comcast for Fraudulent Concealment and Fraudulent Misrepresentation to bring attention to this heinous deception by Comcast.
Comcast knows that ID Discovery has become very popular and they likely did not want to pay a renewed or possibly higher contractual fee with ID Discovery and are tricking their customers out of their current I.D. Discovery packages. I have been a Comcast customer since 1988, for 31 years, and this is way I am treated. I am a 40-year legal assistant and trained court reporter and enjoy watching ID Discovery and the real-life stories that they document. I am 70 years old and still working as a legal assistant, 5 days a week, full time, where my TV enjoyment was ID Discovery only to be told that I can now never get it again. I don't want to change cable carriers since I have my Internet and home security with Comcast and I am a creature of habit. I've had the same landline telephone number for 48 years and I don't change that with AT&T.
Just wanted to let you know about the trickery and fraud that Comcast is committing towards its customers simply to take our ID Discovery channel away. In any event, thanks for the wonderful programming on ID Discovery. Comcast offered me their new Crime and Investigation series, but I have no interest. I want my ID Discovery back!!

This is when we learned that whoever took the boxes originally not only wasn't supposed to take them but he also scanned the wrong codes for 2 of the boxes. We were able to call Cox and get credit for two of the boxes since we had a receipt with the correct ID on them. However, I we are not able to get credit for the others until they are tracked down. This then was cause for a 4th trip down to Comcast to ask them if we could track the boxes down so we could just return them ourselves. He was told, by the manager, that there was nothing that we could do because they shouldn't have been taken there in the first place. This is a horrible answer in general, but to come from a store manager is absolutely insane.
They have not taken ANY responsibility for this and now I am in collections for these two boxes for just shy of $500. The best part, my husband submitted a Google review much like this one and stopped by the store a few days after to check on the progress of finding the boxes. He was told the corporate had contacted their store regarding his review and told the manager to follow up with us and rectify the issue. That was two days ago, we haven't heard a word from the manager and my husband has called her twice and left two voicemails with neither being returned. In all, this is a horrible mistake on the Comcast store on Federal Way and they aren't taking responsibility for it at all. I get that mistakes happen but this needs to be fixed as it shouldn't have been done in the first place. I'm thinking the next step will have to be a complaint with the BBB. I'm not sure we will have much of an option.

We had our Comcast internet/TV installed July 27th, 2019. The technician who did the installation said the burying of cable wires will be done by other department (we were fine until then). On August 1st, I re-request for the cable burying and the agent I talked with created a ticket and said that the appointment on August 27th for cable burying was cancelled, and August 6th will be the new date for cable burying. Comes August 6th, nothing happened. I followed up again, and the agent I talked with told me to wait until August 14th. Comes August 14th, nothing happened, so I contacted Comcast again, and told me the delays might be caused by extreme rain (it was so sunny on the dates the cable should be buried) or freezing ground (even in Michigan there’s no way the ground is frozen end of July~August).
I stressed out to every agent I talked with that we have our sod installation scheduled August 9th and need the cable wires be buried before that. Now, I have to reschedule the sod installation in my yard because I don't want them to dig on top of the new sod that will be installed. And even I inform this to Comcast, they don't seem to care a bit and said they don't have a specific date for installation. Now this is how unprofessional Comcast staff are. I am very dissatisfied and unhappy on how things are progressing with this request.

The lady that my husband talked to from the payment department was very rude. She yelled at my husband. All we wanted was to pay our remaining balance. She wasn't helpful at all and very disrespectful.

I have called and requested service multiple times and every time they come out they say that they can not install because of a missing box on a pole. I was assured that the next time they came out I would have cable and internet. Here it is a month later and still the same thing. We can't install because the box on the pole hasn't been installed. They don't seem to care if I ever become a customer. I suppose it's time to look into other options even though they are unreliable. I have always had Comcast for cable and internet. Then I have a house built and even though all the houses around me have Comcast I can't seem to get the equipment needed to hook mine up. If this how they treat loyal customers I hate to see how they treat new customers.

When I signed up my package included all premium channels- HBO, STARZ SHOWTIME CINEMAX, ALL OF THEM on a 2 year contract. Now apparently they've taken away my Cinemax and charging me the same amount of money!!! Xfinity used to be decent but now they're just like all the other cable companies. Typical contract breaking rip off. I pay $155.50 a month and my internet speed isn't even over 50 Mbps. I spent 18 minutes on hold trying to talk to customer service about this and I finally gave up. It may be time to shop around. I'm also getting tired of seeing 3 to $5 tacked onto my bill every couple of months for no reason. There's 2 other providers around as well as non-cable options. I'm about fed up with Xfinity.
