Horrible customer service. They make fake offers and then when you call to question why are you being charged they claim that you were never offered it. I can't wait for my contract to be over. I should have stayed with what I had.

They use the truth in a creative way. They say you get 500 channels, but they don't say they are 500 different channels. They embellish on they number by giving you like 50 or so of the same channels 4 times or more.

We cut off Comcast cable and decided to just use antennas since we are not big TV watchers. We wanted to get away from Comcast because our bill changed every month and it made no sense why the bill increased monthly. The same is true with Comcast internet. It was supposed to be 80.00 monthly and the last 2 months it has been 104.00 and I will not be surprised if it keeps climbing because of Comcast doing the same thing with our television service. Four other teachers, I work with cut off their Comcast for the same reason. I hope to find a better option and get rid of Comcast completely.

The service is good. Really haven't had any problems. Services are pricey and local office located at the mall of all places. Parking and having to walk can be very challenging for a disabled person.

They're overcharging and they also give you false prices and deals then charge you more. The taxes and fees are ridiculous. They take channels away then charge you extra. They change your bill every month and charge more.

If you can avoid this company as a provider, I would recommend it. It is impossible to get timely responses to broken service outages. On Demand is frequently out, at least several times per week. Near two hour waits trying to reach chat representatives, only to be disconnected from chat. Automated computer canned responses from the chat department. 72 hour waits for them to even look ok at your ticket and then an additional day, or several days to get them to address issues. $10 a day credit for lost service, not even close to how much 4 premium channels are costing one per day day while one waits for service repairs.
We once waited for nearly a year for them to correct an issue that left us without any audio on 7 channels. Tech that don’t show up on weekends, while you wait for hours. The internet speed is often slower than dial up for great portions of the day. They are an abhorrent company without a sense of conscience, with a near 96% profit margin. One can create a profit margin to such a degree, by providing almost no customer service, and paying their employees an obscenely low pay rate. The tech staff are paid less than $13 an hour.
Their workers ac are lovely and hardworking, it is not their fault. That’s not the issue here. The problem stems from the company’s administrative tenets. They survive due to aggressive monopolies in their service regions. If customers could patronize alternative companies, they gladly would. Someone should initiate a class action suit against Comcast.

Got rid of Comcast 30 years ago because of double billing and nickel and dime increases. Decided to try Xfinity in August, was told by salesman no increase for 2 years. Bill has already gone up 5 dollars, same old nickel and dime raises they have practiced 30 years ago. Was told increase is for equipment so I guess it does not matter what you sold. It will always go up.

Over my 15 + years with Comcast I have had many (many) billing issues with Comcast. I've always been able to resolve them but only with a considerable amount of persistence and investment of time. Recently they initiated a 'collection' on an account that was closed nearly 12 months ago when I sold my home in IL. I was told that because I had a 2nd account with them in FL that there would not be an early termination fee. I never received a past due notice on this closed account and only because I have a 'credit monitoring' service was I aware this had been initiated. This irresponsible action caused a negative impact on my credit (which is above 800).
In attempting to resolve the issue with Comcast I was told it was taken care of but they could not (would not) confirm this in writing. They disconnected 2 of the 4 calls I placed to resolve the matter during which I invested over 2 hours. Their reps in the Philippines lied to me on 2 occasions, they transferred me to not working Comcast support numbers, they told me the matter was resolved and gave me 'bogus' confirmation numbers. Once again a large investment of my time in attempting to resolve "system issues' that exist within Comcast. Only time will tell whether this issues has been resolved as was confirmed by their "Real Time Escalation" department. Hopefully it will resolve with written notice in a timely manner and not linger on for near a year with a surprise notice that my creditworthiness has been further affected.

If I could rate zero stars, I would. As the president of a deed restricted community, I have tried for over three months to have repair services completed on the Comcast Pedestal stations, without luck. Each phone call, I am told “This has been escalated and you will receive a call within the hour” Nothing... 245 homes, 12 pedestals on my street alone...broken, knocked over, or completely exposed to the elements. If you’re not hung up on, expect to be questioned as to why you haven’t secured Comcast services. Have no worry! You will be transferred a minimum of four times, in which they will attempt to reassure you that they are working on the issue. IF they can find your ticket number...since their only concern seems to be sales and not current customers nor keeping their property/equipment in working order, it begs the question. Would 245 homes switching to AT&T fiber be enough incentive to return a phone call?

Problems from day 1 my bill was suppose to be $117.96. Instead it magically ended up being $180 a month. For 7 months running after them to rectify these issues never happened. Now they shut my service down. No one ever calls you back or gets back to you after over 20 hours on the phone in the past week. All they keep doing is passing me down from 1 person to another. No one there cares or wants to help. Please if you have any other options DO NOT USE THESE THIEVES.

I have a live line down in my yard. I called Comcast to report it 3 times and each time I’m on the phone over an hour giving all the same info. I called 2/25/19. Nobody came to fix it. I called 2/28/19 and was told they come 3/1/19. Nobody came. I called 03/10/19 and was told somebody will come 4/2/19. There is a live wire running from a power line to my house and it’s laying on the ground. Then they actually have the audacity to try and sell me more services!!! AT&T always comes in 24 hours. When that line is put back in the air, I will be returning to AT&T!!!

Comcast stated there would be no increase in price when switching over to X1 boxes. This was triple checked to ensure it was the case and then all of a sudden the bill went up $40/month. They failed to honor previous monthly charge and made excuses the whole time. Cost went up with no notice or attempt to rectify. Total liars and horrible way to treat long term customer. Should be ashamed of themselves as a business... They won’t be around in 10-15 yrs given various streaming services and their treatment of customers will just expedite that.

I have read many of the reviews and I am perplexed by the amount of negative reviews. I must be one of the lucky. Today, I called and it took about 10 minutes to get off of that stupid loop of computer generated prompts (my only problem with them). Once I got through, I spoke to a woman (Dorian???) and she was delightful to speak to and helped me cancel many things that I didn't need to help reduce my bill. By the way, yes, Comcast upped the bill $43.21 from January to February and no real explanation on the bill, which prompted me to call them.
We had the Double Play package and home security and my bill was $228.86 and went to $272.07. I can not justify spending $3264.84 on TV and Internet per year. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime and between the two of those, it's only $267.52 per year. I digress. So the woman shut off my home security, which I don't need but got talked into when I first subscribed. She also took off the HD additional cost, and after everything was said and done, she reduced my bill by $1.2k per year and I'm getting a better internet speed package. I'm sure that this will be a temporary thing and it will creep up again by the end of the year, but I'll just have to call again and most importantly, be polite and nice to the person on the other end of the phone. I know that is easier said than done, but it really works. The 4 star review is for Dorian. Thank you again.

EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT LITTLE YOU GET FOR BASIC! Every additional channel adds $$$$ more to your monthly bill! I don't have much fancy choices from which to get into trouble - but my bank sure does!!!

They do not care about us customers. I’ve had their services for over 5 years. Prices increased without any notification and the services remained the same. There’s no loyalty to current customers, because as soon as you call to complain, they tell you to cancel and check back in a year for other promotions. I’d rather pay more at AT&T.

I use Comcast only for their internet service, and they’re essentially the only high speed ISP in my area. I have been using them for five years, and the service is average. However, in the past year I have experienced a higher number of non-weather related outages, which happened to coincide with an increase in my internet bill. I don’t think it’s a coincidence, but I do feel like if I’m being forced to pay more than I should be receiving better quality, more dependable service. Instead, I get the same average service, if not worse due to the increase in outages. The most recent outage occurred shortly before I completed a grant I had spent 3 hours writing, resulting in a missed deadline for a chance at receiving funding for my non-profit. It was a very frustrating experience. If I was given another option to join a provider that gives me comparable, if not better, service as Comcast, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Comcast customer for 20 years, they keep gouging the bill every other month for 10 minute overage on the telephone or some other service. They have been charging me $11 a month for over year for services not included (two month rebate, will not refund the entire year). Their agent stated I should have caught it after I called them out on the overcharge yesterday. Received a bill last month for forty dollars more a month, I called them and their agent stated, "Your contract expired." Maybe Comcast should give you hint before your contract expires.
I renewed my service for two years with guaranteed same services at a few dollars more a month. I have 30 days to cancel this contract with no penalties. Checked channels on TV yesterday they deleted some channels. I would say goodbye to Comcast in One Second, however the other cable providers reviews aren't any better. Any recommendations for a better service company, Could we please bring back the Antenna.

Comcast commitment to honor what is offered is a total lie. They wasted my time on the phone on hold, on chat, they bounce me to another rep or transfer me to a survey. 3 representatives on 3 different occasions offered, verified a promo, now they are reneging on it. As a 90-year Korean War Veteran, I am offended by Comcast lies now and in the past. Every time I sign up your agent says I can get the same promotion after it expires "just call Customer service" "you are a valued customer and we thank you for your service". Yet it never happens unless I call for days to try to get a hold of someone that can help that is not in the Philippines and has no decision power.
I find this very irritating. I will post the transcripts on social media and at the VA Bulletin board here in Orlando and let everyone know how Comcast treats Veterans and Senior citizens. If my fellow soldiers and I had that attitude in Korea, Comcast would be operating cable services under a communist-run state. It is shameful how Comcast renege on a commitment because they see they can squeeze more money out of us. And one of the excuses for that is that Game of Thrones is starting next month? Well, that's next month, how about honoring the commitment they made this month? Trust me. They will start losing customers starting with me and some of my other Vet buddies who live in my neighborhood where they about to lose your monopoly. If anything take a look at the last sentence in the transcript. HONOR YOUR COMMITMENTS!

I have been paying for internet service from them for over 4 years. It constantly goes out and requires me to do multiple resets just to get it to function again. I’ve called many times complaining about how I’m paying over $120 a month for service that is inconsistent at best, especially when I use less than 1/3 of the data being “given” to me...

I'm stuck with Comcast because of my contract, which I should be able to break it without consequences. I do my part. Pay always on time but they don't provide. Sometimes nothing for days because they don't have enough technicians who should solve the problems immediately, and now I'm talking when something is wrong outside of the house. Besides that I need to call them monthly for a troubleshooting, because out of nowhere I don't have service. And I tried using their app to do that for myself, but that is just as ** as their service. Anytime I have to call it takes forever to get through the machines. Its just pain in the...

On 2/14 a competitor of Comcast installed their fiber optics and by doing so crushed Comcast’s fiber optics. Since I live on a dead end street (small # of homes) only 3 of us lost all services. The others homes on street do not subscribe to Comcast. According to Comcast the service will not be restored until 2/19 (6 days)!! On the 14th I was given an appointment for Sunday 2/17 for in house service even though I told them what created the outage and in addition they made an appointment for 2/19 for outside service.
Today (2/17), two Comcast employees came to the house sharing that a technician from Leesburg would be here to restore the services...they actually guaranteed service would be restored today. Once evening set in without service being restored we called...we were told the tech from Leesburg didn’t come since we have a Tuesday 2/19 appointment (imposed by Comcast) we have spoken to Comcast representatives and supervisors who shared they were escalating the call for service...
However the situation doesn’t change because they gave me the first available appointment on 2/14 which was 2/19 due to the circumstances of the outage and not one person in the company will do anything to work with us to change the date. They attempt to use the escalation as a possible solution but apperently that holds no weight within the Comcast organization...they also have a wait list for a sooner appointment...they accept your request then send a text that you must keep your scheduled date due to no availability within the waitlist.

I am always calling them to get it fixed. They reset the box every time and it works for about 2 days and then it messes up again. So I try to reset it and then I call them. I ask every time for them to send someone out - they tell me they can’t. Then Friday I was able to get them to send someone out on Sunday. Then Saturday I got a call saying my appointment is cancelled. I called them and they said well everything is working on their end. Well my box has said Boot on it for the past hour. So I started yelling and they finally gave me my appointment back but she told me I would have to pay for a service call. She said since there was nothing wrong on their end that I would have to pay but if they found something wrong then there wouldn’t be a charge.
I asked to speak to a supervisor because I wasn’t paying for a service call. The lady on the phone said the supervisor won’t talk to me because I have to take it up with billing once I am charged. I asked if it was going to be a fight with billing she said yes. This service provider it the worst. They don’t do anything to take care of their customers. I pay 250.00 per month and it never works. Now the boot has been on the cable box for 2 hours and I am not resetting it because the technician is going to find something wrong tomorrow so I don’t have to pay for a service call. I have taken pictures of it. Also when the DVR box doesn’t work then the whole house doesn’t work we can’t watch tv in any room. I don’t work for a cable company but that sure does sound like the cable lines are messed up.

I received a letter from SouthwestCredit Collection Agency on February 8, 2019 demanding payment of $886.68 for Comcast services. I have never used Comcast and Comcast does not even provide services in the area where I live. After talking to SouthwestCredit, I contacted Comcast. Even after acknowledging that neither my name nor my address is in their system as a customer, Comcast refused to resolve the issue.
The person who is responsible for the bill lives in a different state. Comcast knows where and to whom they should send their bill. The name and address on my social security card is very different from their customer. Comcast can easily verify this information. The Comcast representative failed to explain how they came up with my SS# to refer this case to the collection agency. Instead, she insisted on me mailing in an ID Theft Claim form to them where I have to provide all my sensitive information like my SS#, Driver License copy and my date of birth.
I have submitted a report to the Federal Trade Commission so far, explaining the whole situation. I will also be contacting the consumer reporting agencies. Neither SouthwestCredit nor Comcast has established email contacts for resolving issues like this in written form. The whole situation reflects organizational inefficiency, sloppy record keeping and lack of effort to exercise due diligence to make things right. This may be why they have such negative reviews from their existing customers.

Absolutely the most hilariously bad customer service ever. We had three different techs to our house this week to fix our internet and TV. Each time it took hours on the phone (starting with someone overseas) to get to someone who would agree to come out. Each time the tech fixed something different and walked away proclaiming our service was good to go.
Yesterday was Superbowl. Our internet and TV went out about 1 PM Denver time. My wife spent hours on the phone with them AGAIN. Comcast said there was no way they could send someone out. Internet and TV started working into last evening. Today it is out again and they said they would have someone at the house between 1 and 3 pm. At three ten PM my wife called them to ask where they were. They never made it. Comcast says they also somehow had their own outage which prevents them from talking to their own repair reps. Wow.
This company is a sick, sick joke. It is so funny in a way though. We actually at this point just want to turn it off, not pay them a single cent and start using a digital antenna. Their horrible company is actually pushing us to do something that could be very healthy for us and our kids. Reading is so much better than most of the TV out there.
Thanks Comcast for being the absolute most ridiculous company ever. It is like their customer service people are in a contest for who can be the slowest, most inefficient and least helpful. We are passing our experience around to every news outlet, customer advocate and rating site we can find. They may lose us as a customer, but we hopefully will not have suffered in vain. We will spend many hours spreading the word of this debacle to warn others.
Be warned. It is excruciatingly frustrating to contact Comcast for anything. You will talk to someone in India first who will waste your time for the better part of an hour. They read off a script and cannot think independently. Get a digital antenna and a library card. You will live a happier, smarter, wealthier and more relaxed life WITHOUT Comcast.

“Easy to transfer services” – as advertised. This is a short version of my rant of Comcast because complaints doesn’t work with Comcast. They’re big and I’m one person, get the idea? OK, nothing has been easy with Comcast for the past 10+ years of service but this past experience with them was over the top. So I had to share. In December, my 2-year contract with them was up and my price rocketed, so as usual I call them, happens every two years. They put me in a “new deal” but this time I told them I will be moving in January. The representative said, “OK no problem. It’ll be the same when you move”. Then I called back roughly 3 weeks later to notify my move date, which was two weeks before I had to vacate my house. This representative also went through and have me sign a “new deal” with my new address. I told her I already did that but she said it has to be a new contract. OK, sure!
This past two instances I asked for my bill to be pro-rated so I can pay. She said it’ll take around 24 hours. NOPE, it didn’t happen. So then I called back few days later to delay my move date by two days, done! I also asked why they didn’t change my bill. She couldn’t answer, transferred me to another person. That person explained that it has to wait till the next billing cycle, FINE. The bill was never pro-rated so I just paid the whole balance because I didn’t want to have to call again.
Two days before I moved (original moving date) my service got SHUT OFF. I called and got the Philippines call center (they denied it was out of the country) and they did some basic stuff but ended up couldn’t help me. The woman asked me to hold then I was transferred to someone from Portland, OR, which is where I live. This person was super nice. Walked me through the whole thing saying that it was coded wrong. Spent TWO hours on the phone (skipped dinner) trying to get my internet and TV back. I thought she took ownership of the whole problem and helped me. Maybe she can help my parents, who will move into the house I’m leaving, to set up internet for them. She then agreed to call back the next day at 7 pm to do it. NOPE! She didn’t call back. (I did ask for her number but they don’t give out numbers).
After waiting for half an hour I called in to start new service for them. AGAIN, I got someone from out of the country. He kept confusing my old service with the new service I was trying to start. He kept on going over the plan and I told him I need to explain to him what is going on. He then got frustrated and said, "I cannot help you." So then I hung up with him and called back. This next person was very helpful. He actually listened to what I’m saying instead of talking about me. He gotten all the way to sign contract, turning on the service, but internet didn’t work. He then transferred me to tech support. The lady was helpful for about a minute but she was in such a rush she just told me that she’ll send out service then hung up on me. Luckily, for some odd reason it worked.
OK. So, the day they went out to do new home set up for my new house was okay. I wasn’t home but my wife told me the guy was very throughout and nice. The work he did was great. However, when I get home I found out they didn’t configure Showtime (they promised 3 months free). At this point, I was so sick of it I told my wife to call in. She called in and they said she’s not on the account (she was on there at the last house). I THEN call them to put her on so she can deal with it. When I called in they confused my service with my dad’s (old house) service. I’m super frustrated because at the beginning I asked everyone that there are TWO DIFFERENT SERVICES with two different phone numbers. I think until this day when I call in with my personal cell phone, they still pull up the other account.
I’m very exasperated and tired for dealing with them. I’m hoping and waiting for another fast internet provider to come into the area so I can switch and start fresh. I’m willing to break contract and pay fees so that I don’t have to deal with their “excellent customer service” anymore. This will not make a difference but at least I can get it out of my system…. until the next time I call them. In conclusion, “easy to transfer services” equals about 10+ phone calls, 4+ transfers, forever frustrations, and whole lot of hours wasted on the phone. They won’t just let you talk to someone until you go through their queue. BUT there’s no queue for my situation.

Updated review: Jan. 29, 2019
I would like to update this long 4 month situation. We finally spoke to a corporate agent. Xfinity has made things right with us. We are very happy with how everything worked out. We will continue with Xfinity. We enjoyed the actual cable and internet. It’s the call center that needs some work. Thanks Xfinity.
Original Review: Jan. 24, 2019
We have had the worst time getting Xfinity to abide by their end of our contract. We had a two year contract and three months before it was to end a representative called my husband and asked him if he would like to try some channels free for 30 days. He said we could go back to our original 2x play if we didn’t like it. My husband called back the next day to switch it back because all it added was sports channels that we don’t watch. The representative said they would call us back that next Tuesday. He never did.
A few days later we received a bill with the added changes on them. We called customer service that evening and they tried to tell us the time had elapsed. It had not and we gave them dates. Then she said she would switch it back and we got disconnected and she didn’t call back. So we called customer service AGAIN. Had to explain the situation all over again. They said they could not switch it back because our 2x play was no longer being offered and it wasn’t in the system to choose from AND the system would not allow them to simply change it back.
After a period of back and forth and speaking to managers they figured they would change us to a package that would give us all the channels and internet that we had and then credit our account each month until our original contract was to end in January. The manager that we ended with said there would be no need to call every month for the credit. Well we paid the amount we all agreed on and I watch the account online and it was never credited the 30.00.
When we received our bill this month it had the previous amount rolled over on it. SO we called customer service AGAIN and had to explain everything again because apparently the notes from the manager did not say what it should have and there was not an accurate trail to follow. We thought this person understood because he said he would straighten things out but he only credited the account for last month's bill but it also needed a credit for this month. So now we will pay the prearranged amount per our contract and there will another $30.00 hanging out there that we will have to call customer service again. We were actually happy with the service itself until all this mess and most likely would have continued service but now we can’t wait to switch.
So now they turn off our service. Went to see manager of local store and he read all the activity on the account along with what we were telling him. He apologized for everything we had been through and had our service turned back on immediately. He worked with my husband on what was going to be credited back to the account. Then he said that if we stayed with Xfinity he would give us the two year double play for $114/month. We liked our actual service just not the billing or customer service. So against every fiber of our being we agreed. Well January bill comes and none of the credits have been applied and it includes a reconnection fee of $22.00. REALLY!! AND the $114 is $168??? OMG. We feel really stupid! What were we thinking! Xfinity Executives if you read this you should be ashamed of yourself!

The Comcast Support Representative stated that I could go to my closest Comcast Store (Manahawkin, NJ) and do the following: Exchange the incorrect cable DVR box that they sent to my home as a replacement for the defective brand new one they installed 2 days earlier, exchange a X1 remote control, purchase a set of wifi pods to increase the range of a new router they installed 2 days ago, and lastly pick up a 4k HDMI cable which never was left when they installed my defective 4k DVR 2 days ago.
Well the Comcast Store took back the wrong box they sent me, they did not have a new 4k DVR box to replace my defective one at home, they couldn't exchange my remote because they said they have no remotes there, I couldn't purchase the wifi pods because they don't carry them and I have to purchase them from Comcast online and they don't carry 4k HDMI cables only regular ones but Comcast sells the 4k DVRs which comes with one! So I walked out the store with nothing!!! Why do they bother even having a Comcast Store when they basically have nothing!

Thank goodness I only set up a NO CONTRACT account. I left work on Thursday so a service rep could spend 3 hours upgrading my phone, internet and TV Comcast service. It worked for 2 days. Then everything went completely awry and stopped working — no internet, no phone, no TV. When I called today, I was put on the line with an “offshore” telephone rep who I could not understand and who could not even pull up my account because of “computer problems”.
I was run around on the phone for over an hour by a “technician”, a “customer service” rep and a finance staff member because I wanted to be reimbursed. The finance rep “mysteriously” disconnected the call because reimbursement for no service does not seem to be in the vernacular at Comcast. I cannot stomach anymore Comcast so I requested termination but I was told the “retention department” is not open on Sunday. I have made an appointment with Verizon Fios. Fios cannot possibly be worse than the hot mess called Comcast.

Attempted first time customer, took 2 1/2 hours to resolve, ended up going with AT&T. The story... set up account to start new service with a box to be delivered. Gentleman gave me confirmation number and a customer service number to confirm that I may pick box up a local store rather than having box shipped. Called customer service number, lady informed me, "I see your order. It was never complete, you need to call other number." Called other number, lady could not comprehend anything I was telling her, told her another name to account, informed her another name to address.
This is new account, still could not assist and could not comprehend a thing, asked for manager, was on hold 20 min so I hung up and called back. A lady picked, had to explain again. She came back on with a gentleman that told me confirmation number was incorrect, however the first 5 numbers are correct as it is their number with the date and my order will be 3-5 days. (Interesting how this can be, when my confirmation number was incorrect and he couldn't find anything about my new account), he also gave me another number to call and assured me they would be able to help me.
Called that number, a lady helped me to tell me my confirmation is correct, she does see my information, although the account was never complete, explains another person has account at the address, informed her I know this, my account is separate. She told me the homeowner would have to call or I would need to set my own account up. (Hmmm, I just told her this.) I told her it is a separate account, she politely told me, "Then I need to have homeowner call so we can deactivate him and set your account up." (WTF, did she not just tell me I'd have to have my own acct???)
I asked this lovely lady, "So, when I hang up this phone, I will have no box delivery and I will not receive a bill, correct?" She told me, "That is correct," I told her where Comcast could put their business and informed her I would be going with AT&T. Within 1 hour I was set up with AT&T and no problem, and... there is another account at the same address as well. I did not have to ask homeowner to call and deactivate his account. We both have accounts now. Thank you AT&T and goodbye Comcast. Such horrible service. What happened to America?

OK - this is Comcast in a nutshell. The internet and TV are down in our area, and Comcast technicians are hard at work in the rain to fix it. No problem with that - ** happens, and they are supposedly out there trying to fix it. Right now I want to watch the Warriors game, and I already pay Comcast for that channel, and since I can't watch on my TV (you know, since the cable is down), I figured I could just watch the game on my phone using Comcast's streaming app, like I have so often in the past. So I go to the app, click on the game, which is right there available on the app, and voila!... Nope! The streaming app to watch the game says I can only use it to watch the game USING MY HOME WIFI...which doesn't work because COMCAST'S LINES ARE DOWN. See the problem?
I called Comcast, and no agent had the power to make the game available via the app. One would think, that if your customer paid to watch the game, and your TV service to show the game was down, and you had an alternate streaming service available that actually shows the game, you'd make that game available on the app instead of requiring they watch it on their wifi which doesn't work because you broke it? This pretty much sums up my Comcast experience.

I look back at Comcast email acct and it's a bunch of junk mail, but in October important billing emails were going there instead of to my personal email. My acct was set up on auto-pay, but apparently after I extended my pay date a few days in October it deleted auto-pay so the bills went unpaid. Strangely, I never received a call, piece of mail, or email (preferred email) stating my bills were going past due and I didn't realize an issue until my services were disconnected on 12/28/18. Too, my contract expired on 12/18/18 and I was charged $33.16 more than my usual bill. I was told my bill would be adjusted for the month the contract expired (Dec), but the rep didn't fix everything like he said.
He didn't even mention the two reactivation fees that were added to my acct, I found this out two weeks later during my phone call tonight. I spoke to a Supervisor and she says all they could do is credit the $10 late fee because we're in another billing cycle. This could have been taken care of in November, my bill would be paid in full and I could have gotten another promotion. Now, they expect me to pay ALL of those fees and a higher bill??? It could have been avoided and I don't deserve this! Not a coincidence! Shady business and not taking responsibility.

After my first year with Comcast I finally understand why customers are unhappy. And what they mean by surprising increased charges. Had a $40 increase on my account after my first year. I was never notified during my time of signing up that there would be an increase which was my first time being misled by Comcast. I contacted customer service in which an agent agreed to lower it by $5 but not lower my current due bill which I was never aware of the increase.
I was passed along to a supervisor who just rephrased everything the agent before said except leaving out the discounted price. I asked why. I was offered the discounted price and how that was determined. The supervisor informed me it is a discount they offer to all customers ONLY if customers reach out to Comcast to ask for a discount. Here I am being misled twice. Knowing my account is higher than it should be, Comcast allows their customers to pay more rather than reach out and inform them they can lower their bill.
Comcast has a terrible system set up. They have promotional year long services. Their regular rates are never disclosed. Your assumption is that you’re paying this so called great deal. After 1 year they bump it up to its regular rate. As a customer you get frustrated and contact them, then they offer you a new discounted rate plan WHICH THE SAME CONCEPT. They will put you on a more expensive plan on a 12 month contract then increase it to a new regular rate after that is up.
I cannot believe this scam continues and that Comcast is still in business. As consumers, even employees of Comcast are consumers, we need an internet or tv plan that is fair and inexpensive. We have so many resources and platforms for this to happen but greed will always win. Comcast knows that charging customers a low rate that never changes for the same services will not hurt them, it would actually attract more customers I believe. But they continue this scam in favor of making more revenue. Quite sad time we live in. Maybe it’s a lesson for us that we should just stop watching tv and making our lives rely on the internet.

On 10/30/2018 I went back to them and ordered their triple play package at a rate of 120.46 per month on a two-year contract. I never received a bill for November. My first bill from them was dated 12/25/2018 and it was in the amount of 390.34 and the worst part about this bill, they are saying that my account is past due and that it shall be discontinued on 12/31/2018 unless it is paid in full.

Xfinity Comcast TV and Internet Service. I don't think this company could be more incompetent if they tried. Here’s a partial list of what I’ve dealt with just in the past two weeks with them. Our bill went up as it does every year so my wife called to see if we could get a better price through any current promotions. Instead the slimy sales person actually downgraded our service package to a lower level on TV and internet and charged us more! I had to call and get it fixed but they still wouldn’t give us the same package and discounts we had in the past. Every year you have to play their stupid game and call and beg for new discounts and promotions as they jack up their prices for the same unreliable service.
Then the typical service problems started. TV channels froze up or were unavailable even though we were paying for them. So they sent out a new box which had some type of glitch so they needed to send out a technician to fix. I stayed home for an entire Saturday waiting for the technician to show up and they never came. I called to see what happened and they said someone was able to fix it remotely so they cancelled the technician. No one bothered to call and tell me that!!
While the technician was here he discovered that the genius who thought he fixed things remotely actually disabled our extra TV box and put in a new charge for two DVRs. Then the emails started coming in telling me I had to approve the new additional charges for an extra DVR that I didn’t order or have! I can’t even begin to tally the amount of time and energy I have wasted and the amount of frustration endured by myself and family. Do not do business with this awful, incompetent, unethical company!!

This company is absolutely the WORST cable company I have ever subscribed to. The remotes for the cable boxes do not work all the time, the boxes shut down periodically. Billing is incorrect. Every time I complained they would issue a credit that never showed up until I called and complained...after being put on hold for twenty minutes. I was never told when I originally subscribed that I had a Data Usage Plan... Had to defend that issue. I am not sure how they stay in business, but I am going to downgrade as much as I possibly can. Comcast is working on the premise that you will just never question anything and go on auto pay.

The absolute worst customer service experience I have ever received from any company. I called for service on December 5th, had an appointment for installation 2 weeks later. The technician came out and was unable to do the work, they scheduled another contractor to come out and make the address serviceable, run a cable from across the street alongside the underground power lines. After this work was confirmed by dispatch to be done, I was scheduled for another technician to come install cable in the home.
The next technician comes out and tells me that the line was never run and he couldn't do anything. They scheduled me for an appointment on January 8th and said they would have people working on setting an earlier date, that obviously never happened. I called and was called by corporate reps who said they would expedite work and would call me back, but again left me out to dry, it took me another 2 days just to cancel my contract and people wanting me to explain why, even though you have 30 days to cancel after installation was complete, which it was never even started, and trying to get me to stay with them.

Been with Comcast since June 17 and was supposed to be on a 24 month introductory rate including cable TV and internet. The January bill arrived and was $8 more than the prior months... Unexplained and the chat exchange resulted in no logical support for the increase. It's not a critical amount, but when signing up the Comcast representative clearly committed to no changes for 24 months unless it's the result of a tax increases out of the control of Comcast. I moved from AT&T for the same reason... Increases in the monthly bill without notice and no reasonable explanation... And wham-o at the end of the incentive promotion.
It seem the best consumer solution is to flip vendors at the end of the incentive period, which is the only way to combat the games played by the vendor. I'm now receiving $300 gift card incentives to go back to AT&T/DirecTV. Unfortunately I'm short on the technical knowledge to move to a non-cable option, but with unlimited data on my cell phone plan, my internet needs can be handled with a tethered modem or Bluetooth. I've never used DISH, so that may be my next non-Comcast option.

My husband and I are in our 70s and have just had our monthly rate increased by $30/mo. From $107 to $138. When I talked to Xfinity, the only way I can lower this rate, even to $118, is by agreeing to a 24-month plan where I would be obligated for a $230 termination fee that decreases $10 every month. Incredibly, if we find at some point that we can't afford to pay this lower rate and have to terminate our "subscription", we would have to pay a fee! Right now we earn more than the $35,200 limit for Low-Income Discount. I'm just hoping that there are some consumer rules that apply to this monopoly that contracts with our state, county and city.

I signed up with Comcast in September 2018. I specifically requested certain channels in my package. I signed a one year contract. Three months into it, 3 of my favorite channels, and pretty much all I watch, were now requiring an upgrade charge, of $9.95 to continue to receive these channels. I have spoke with 6 representatives, including Supervisors, which I have received different answers from, I had a promotional package, or it was a MISTAKE I had these channels.
Oh, the other Supervisor said the networks had a price increase. They want more money, but, ohhh I get an extra 144 channels with this including the ones they removed. I don't watch 200 channels I have now, Why would I want another 140 I won't watch. They claim I can't cancel because I signed a one year contract, but it's ok for them to change my services before the one year. Not ok. I have attempted everything to rectify this, and given them all opportunities to make it right. Now I will post in as many places as possible with what they do to people. It's not about the $9.95, its about consumers taking advantage of people. Funny how the main CHANNEL'S I watched were ones removed.

Main problem, if you just subscribe to basic cable you are not allowed to watch one program and tape another which would come on at the same time. This is not fair. They do this because they want you to spend more money and get a more expensive cable plan! Also on basic TV most channels are Mexican channels. I applaud that but I'm not a Mexican. Also you cannot get a TV directory on basic cable! I realize that they don't control satellites if they are down but OMG my cable cost was $29.00 and with every tax they can think of plus "user tax" (what's that all about) I pay close to $38.00 per month. I have no other choice. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

The same thing happened to me when they charge me over 200 dollars for a disconnection fee. I told them I never consented to paying that, they said I did. But when I ask to see the agreement they said they texted to me, they told me they wouldn't send it and I owed the bill.

BE CAREFUL WHEN USING DEBIT CARDS TO PAY BILL OVER THE PHONE. Twice, and every month since we used Comcast phone pay services, they have twice debited my card for payment without my authorization. I like to pay my bill on payday, when it is convenient for me, NOT when Comcast chooses. I was never notified of their intent, nor was I sent a receipt. The only way I knew it had occurred was when I checked my debit card balance. I have repeatedly called and told them that I NEVER signed up for auto-draft and that the only way they had my card number was through me using it to pay a bill once. After I paid with that card one time, it was put into the auto draft system. Again, I have spoken to at least 10 Comcast associates begging them to disconnect the card and told them that I had never given them authorization.
This morning I awoke to a lighter balance than expected on my card. Only after doing research did I discover it had happened again! Even after calling them and telling them that this draft done today had drained my balance and it left me with $12.00 to live on until next Friday; first payday after CHRISTMAS! This has put me and my family in a terrible position. I would have had plenty of money to pay them in 6 days. Now I am broke and they had committed an illegal act!
A small business would not be allowed to get away with practices such as these. I am now going to have to cancel this card as that seems to be the only way to stop this fraudulent act. Another hindrance as this takes 7-10 days to process and will leave me without a debit card for at least a week because of their inability to fix this or maybe they really just don’t care.
It is tough to know the difference with the language and accent barriers that exist when using their call centers somewhere NOT in America. At any rate, whether the folks there don’t know how to fix or don’t understand what I am asking them to do, this is a major AMERICAN corporation and there should be no excuse treating human beings this way. To be completely broke for the entire week of Christmas, that $180 would have gone a long way to feed my family and to finish buying stocking stuffers for my children. This is devastating to us.

Comcast is extremely expensive even for basic cable. Their customer support is horrible. They do offer a lot of channels and the service - internet, as well as tv, are reliable for the most part.

Cable box/tuners are an obsolete technology, the problem seems to be the proprietary control of this device. Cable box’s run hot (heating up AV cabinetry) and require large amounts of electricity to operate. It would be beneficial to cable subscriber if the subscriber could provide their own cable box similar to how a phone customer provides their own phone.

Comcast is way overpriced for what I want. Many of the channels offered I do not care about and do not watch. I would welcome an a la carte choice on which channels I want and don't want. My cable bill was running me in excess of $200 month. I cut the cord and no longer subscribe. I started streaming and Comcast has almost doubled my internet bill. I'm looking for another provider as well. Lastly, their customer service sucks!!!!

Comcast has provided a good service but the rates are too high. Equal to other providers, so I'm saying all are too high. Choices of channels are clumped together in such a way that limits what is watch to what you want to watch. Lots of channels, not so many that are watchable. So that gets the consumer locked into higher rates to enjoy favorites.

Prices in general are too high for all broadband (my opinion). It's now a 'need' not a 'want' and we are paying through the nose. Need some govt regulation. Of what is available in my area Xfinity delivers the fastest, most consistent bandwidth. Customer service is generally knowledgeable and wants to help. When one has an issue do a better job of giving the customer a specific person they can email, chat or call for follow-up if required. Very frustrating having to re-explain an issue several times to agents. One gets passed to in the queue.
Need to make pricing options simpler, more clear, programs and packages aimed to reward retention of long term customers. Sometimes it seems their focus is on attracting new customers with great deals while putting customers who have been loyal for years at the back of the queue for great deals. Need better balance between these goals (attract new, retain established) with increased emphasis and incentives for retention.

Overheated to the point where it sent a overtemp message to the screen before it died. The main box goes offline on a regular basis and the techs tell me it's a known issue. One tech even said I should just reset the box each day. If I had the extra $100 a month, I'd dump the TV portion and go back to DirecTV for my TV service.

Another offer was $185 with the loss of many of the services. As a Senior living on Social Security, I said forget it. Now I received a letter telling me they were going to send me $528.78. It said it would arrive by 30 days. I didn't get anything in that time. So, I called. They said they tried to contact me. The only contact I had was just for me to call them. I figured it was to find out why I canceled. So, I didn't bother to call.
They didn't send me any letter, which would make sense since the first one came by snail mail. They said they made a mistake and it was supposed to be for another account. They said I was getting $60 some. I asked how soon and they said another 4 to six weeks. They are crooks! The worst part is they pulled this on a low-income Senior Citizen.

They changed me to an economy package without my knowledge with 60 channels. I have been complaining since February about the issue. The specific channels we requested when we signed up are no longer available to us. They have had me take my box to the office to replace it. No solution.
They have sent repair technicians 3 times. No solution. I have spent more than 26 hours on the phone with the customer service personnel with no solution. I have been told repeatedly that I should be getting these channels. They show on my lineup. I can watch online on my lineup but not on my tv with the DVR. I can watch in my bedroom. Just not in my living room. I was assured that the most recent visit from a technician would guaranteed to fix the problem. He arrived. Replaced the DVR box again. Reset everything. Looked online and saw what my line up showed. Then look at his end and saw that my account was downgraded in February. This is September!!! First time anything mentioned of this.
He called and the department he worked for refused to talk to me. Said I had to call billing. I looked online and it show that in February my bill did start to show economy package but I never approved a downgrade. I called billing and they said that since my package was no longer available they gave me the next package available at the price I was paying for. I lost over 60 channels. They have the same package but say I have to pay an extra $20 since it is called something different now. This is not right. I did not rename the package. They did. It is not my fault they canceled the package I signed up for.
