So far so good. Customer service is now better than it was in past years. I'm very happy with channel selection, and movies on demand. There is a variety of program selection to fit everyone's needs.

Very slow internet when you were told you’re getting certain speed and you’re paying for it, and you will be surprised you are getting ripped off, too bad of such monopoly that nobody will challenge them.

I didn't have a choice for high speed Internet where I live. Comcast was the only solution. The Internet seems to be stable. I didn't want to buy Comcast AND DirecTV which I had before. I had very few issues with DTV. But Xfinity TV...OMG. Each day the TV service drops out for one reason or another. Sometimes twice a day. I thought I bought a bundle but what I got was a crock. I've had service people out and their solution was to replace the boxes. I had one box just flat out fail after a couple of days. 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. I stress that the Internet service seems fine. Only one issue over the last 3 months.

Very overpriced for the selections offered. You are forced to take a higher priced package just to get a couple of channels that you want. The Xfinity platform is average compared to the technology offered by other suppliers.

COMCAST willfully uses fraud to capture additional monies by charging for work they never accomplished. Customer service representatives falsely claim they'll resolve issues and one only learns on followup that action was never taken. COMCAST also fraudulently charges for services never provided -- mobile telephone?!?! Refunds are slow -- if ever -- to post. Recommendation: AVOID if possible!!!

Techs that come out don't always seem to know how to fix things. The cost for Comcast/Xfinity as a whole is very high and when asked for a lower rate over the phone, they tell us we're at their lowest rate. Some channels come in with partially-scrambled viewing. We do not like them and are probably going to dump them.

Overpriced for what they offer and stronger on sales/marketing than service after the sale. I started with a bundled package and had to give up one after another. Price kept going up and I had to restrict due to budget constraints.

Almost always have to fight with customer service when we have a problem to send a tech out. This is what I pay insurance for. Then when we have a schedule to have someone to come out in usually 3 or 4 days their tech dept, will call saying they fixed the problem and want to cancel the service call and I have to tell them the problem is still there. Techs are always great and finding and fixing problems.

I canceled Comcast after the two-year contract was up because they wanted to raise my rate from $127 to over $200 for the basic services I had. 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. I am reporting this to the Utilities Commission. I would love to post their letter but no place to do that here.

Since 10/20/18, we have had pixel issues, cannot view certain channels, wifi keeps dropping, and landline failure. 5 plus technicians have been at our house and reported outside wiring issues, yet Comcast refuses to send a crew to replace outside wiring. We spoke to multiple supervisors, Comcast Complaint Department, and reported to the FCC but issues still remain. They schedule the work to replace the outside wiring and then they don't show up or say we don't need it. We received a call on 12/6/18 that the issues were fixed but no one came in the house to verify. The issues still remain. We are fed up and are stuck with Comcast because of where we live. HELP.

Unfortunately they all stink. Why??? This isn't rocket science. I experience constant delays in wireless. Repeated lost connections on HDMI1, necessitating a call before I can watch TV. Streaming issues with Firestick. Comcast blamed Amazon. I got a new stick from Amazon and that did the same thing - so Comcast was responsible. My experience is that they blame everything on everyone else. Technicians don't know what they're doing. Some come out and try - but they leave and nothing is different. I've called several times to speak with a supervisor. Put on endless hold. Nobody comes on. Leave a number and request a call back. Nobody calls back. These people are making money hand over fist and they should be held accountable. Their service is awful. Many of the people who come to the house or are on the phone I'm told aren't employees - they're contract workers who don't know what they are doing and aren't invested. DREADFUL.

This is the Worst COMPANY IN THE WORLD. I have been a customer for over 20 years. I get a bill today and in it I am told due to taxes I will be paying approximately 40.00 per month more. If I cancel I have to pay a 230.00 cancellation fee. How can YOU raise my bill like this every year, year after year. I was on the phone to the Philippines for well over 30 minutes trying to talk to a supervisor, NEVER happened. I was told I could forego the cancellation fees if I just kept internet. A new subscriber gets this for 29.99 per month, after 20 years as a customer I can have it for 99.00 dollars. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS?? Comcast you should be ashamed of yourself!

I signed up for internet, phone and tv late November. I was told I could create a new account for myself even with my tenant having service. The service was on for three days until Comcast disconnected my service because the tenant had not paid his account. There was no negotiating with Comcast. Since there was service at my address with the tenant I could not have service unless they paid even though I am not liable for the tenants bills. I even had set my account up with auto pay. Horrible company policies. The people on the phone are generally kind but they are prisoners to their company. I will never sign up for service with Comcast after this terrible experience and lack of customer service. The sooner Comcast fails as a company all the better for consumers.

I returned my modem, however, they "lost" it, reported me to collections and cost me thousands of dollars and destroyed my perfect credit. I complained, reported them to the BBB, contested my credit report, contested through the collections company, and Comcast didn't even offer a return call or apology.

Every time I call I get different answers, they have very poor customer service training. I have been trying to get a replacement wireless box for the past 3 weeks and no one can give an answer, they gave me a UPS tracking # that does not exist. I have been on the phone with an agent and they still can't give me an answer on when or how I am going to get my box. I also went to the local Comcast store and they said they don't give out boxes. At this point I am paying for a box that I don't have already for 3 weeks. Really poor customer service. Very disappointing.

If I could give Comcast residential negative 1 star I would. I have used them for years because I am stuck in contracts with them and they pretty much have the monopoly in my area of service. Customer service horrible and has been the entire years I have used them. We can't get any range and good coverage in our house and the recent tech who came out told us it’s basically because a nearby radio station is sucking up all the bandwidth and they don't have enough. I am quitting service with them as soon as I can and never looking back!

Thought I would give Comcast a try at tv service and save a couple dollars. Tech shows and says cost will be 10 bucks a month higher than quoted. Couldn't get service to work and left. Says someone will be back tomorrow. I had DirecTV working before he came and thought I could just go outside and reconnect my service. I then discovered the Comcast tech had cut the DirecTV wire coming from the dish. This is a disreputable company. Other people I know have had similar experiences.

I've had nothing but problems with them ever since I've gotten service with them. First they say that the card I paid with was reported as fraudulent and it was my wife's card and she told them and the card company that she Authorized the payments. Then they charged us back the first months and the deposit back to us after we paid it before then on top charged me late fees on things I already paid for even after we told them that yes we are authorizing these payments. So time went on and all of a sudden about maybe 5 months later they turned off the ability to pay with a credit card and they say it was from the reported carded that we already explained to them the deal and that we did authorize the payments. And then after fighting with them for about a week and going thru person after person after person.
O btw that I kept getting transferred to the wrong department time and time again. No one could agree on anything. The person that I talked to before was wrong and the person that I talked to next said the person I talked to before was wrong. Not one person was on the sane page as the other... their training sucks. No one knows the system they use. No one was willing to help in the end charging me am kinda of late fees. Not only that they would take extra money out of my bank and when I would call to talk to them about it they couldn't give me my money back they could only apply it to the next month's bill which I find as a con. As soon as my yr is up I'm getting new services with another company and never going back to them again nor will I ever refer anyone to use them ever. All around horrible. I mean horrible company to deal with.

Been a customer since 1993. Wanted to know if there were PROMOTIONs to keep same services at a reduced cost. REP continued speaking over me so I couldn’t explain my want and went straight to downgrade services. REP asked what channels do I watch. There are 120+ channels. I said how would I know other than a few as I’m not the only one in the home. REP then stated she wanted to know premium channels only. That was not her original question. Conversation from REP turned agitated then mine spiked too. I asked if she would just let me speak she would know my ask. Totally downhill agitated attitude from REP and I simply hung up. XFinity REPs need to give the customer a chance to explain their ask before spewing canned (lectures) responses that run on and on. Investigating alternate companies to replace Xfinity services.

I have been having problems with this company since February of 2018. I signed up with them in December of 2017 for a package that included 120+ channels plus free Showtime. in February they did away with the package I signed up for. 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.
They refuse to honor that package but I continued to pay for the same number of channels and have never been late once on my payments. Now that the holidays are here again they are offering another package just like the one I signed up for. People BEWARE. They are lying to you! I do not understand how a company can treat their customer like this and require them to honor a contract when they do not honor their side of the contract.

This is by far the worst customer service ever! Exactly why we left Comcast and went to AT&T. After my neighbor had new service installed - our internet was disconnected. I expressed to the Comcast technician this issue and he informed me he did nothing with my service. I told him that my service was working perfectly fine until he started messing with it. As I’m talking with the Comcast technician - my other neighbor comes out and says his internet is down too. This happened when the tech started messing with the pole.
The Comcast technician finally agreed to go back up the pole. My service came on and then went back down. The technician left. I was still without internet connection. We own a company and the office is in the basement. Without my internet connection - I was unable to run the business. AT&T came out and discovered the Comcast technician had DISCONNECTED our service line! Exactly like I told the Comcast technician. I am extremely frustrated with Comcast and this incident validated why we will never be a Comcast customer again. Worst customer service ever!!

Was very disappointed that in order to add additional wireless boxes to my TV package, I must schedule a $60 technician visit, on top of the additional $10 monthly fee per box. When trying to add features, and thus agreeing to pay more money to the company each month, shouldn't service be included? There is also no guarantee the technician is even able to set up the wireless cable box. I was told it was "at the discretion of the technician". I will not be adding boxes, as this is a very customer unfriendly process. Would not recommend.

Channels dropped with NO notice. To get SOME of your channels back, more money (large increase). Some channels you can’t get back ever. They try to tell you those channels are not available. No way, no how. I guess I’ll go to my brother’s house to watch those “no longer available” channels. He lives 6 minutes from me so not a geographic issue. Have asked MANY times to have a sales or customer service person call. "Not an option," I’m told. They have you stuck where you can’t cancel because you lose your internet as well. In a home where internet is needed for jobs, this isn’t an option at a minute's notice.
Love the ones that are 3 dots on screen which totally blocks you from being able to do anything except turn cable box off and on (sometimes several times). More research needed into other cable options. And then there’s a fee to end your contract. I do feel completely sorry for the people on the phone because their hands are tied by choices made by executives who have no idea what they are doing and really don’t care about their customers. Will be doing research into other options and getting as far away from Comcast as possible. Keep it up Comcast and people will go to no cable service which might not be a bad thing.

The service in general is poor quality and overpriced. The prices rise without cause. The packages offered are horrible and cannot be customized. When I moved away I closed my account, turned in my equipment, and was assured by the representative I was speaking with that I had a zero balance. Three months later I received a notice that my account was in collections for just over $150. After spending an excessive amount of time explaining the situation over the phone I was told that there was nothing they could do other than process my payment. This is the quality of service we are forced to accept because they have a virtual monopoly on cable and internet in the area. The company is absolute trash.

Comcast Xfinity is the most dishonest company in the United States. They routinely rate at the lowest levels for customer service of any company in the United States and that includes morticians, used car salesman and insurance brokers. This statement is not hyperbole it doesn't take much of a Google search to see I'm being honest.
Two years ago I canceled my television with Comcast after having been a client of theirs since 1990. I did this because they flat-out lied to me, they quoted me a price, they billed me that price for one month and then they jacked that price up and said they never offered me a lower price; their duplicity was astounding. At the end of the contract for my television I cancelled telling them it was because they had lied to me and it cost me an extra $600 for the year.
And just this month they raised my Internet bill by $18 a month and told me it was because the special offer that I had signed up last year had expired on my landline. I said, "No you've made a mistake. I didn't have any special and did not have a landline," the agent replied to me "yes you do and now that is expired and that's why we're raising your rates".
Comcast Xfinity survives only because they enjoy an exclusive franchise in the cities that they are in. If they had any competition they would be seen as the failures, Liars and cheats that they are. I'm done with them and I've made that clear to them probably in an expletive deleted conversation. I'm going to go and find somebody new tomorrow even if it means less speed. Do yourself a favor and avoid the frustration of dealing with this company. They are not legit, large yes, legit no.

So while I am watching Discovery Life it goes out and says I need to subscribe to it. It is listed in my package. I go call and spend literally hours on the phone. They say I will get call backs which I don't get. I do some digging on their forums and they have dropped these channels on all new packages and are removing them from old ones all while still listing them as available on their site. CS reps are saying they are available when they are *not* up to even offering to send a tech out. It is not my box. It is no longer offered, but they are telling people it is, spending hours of time on something you can't even get anymore.
Losing the channels sucked but I could have dealt with that. It's the fact they are still listed, and no one will tell you the truth about it. Have switched back to Dish for TV, but unfortunately Xfinity/Comcast is my only option for internet, am praying my TV actually gets canceled and that I am given credit when we return the boxes. My son is going to video us doing it, and am getting receipts and watching my charges.

I purchased Xfinity in 2016. I lived alone, and worked long hours (10 to 12 hours a day). I barely watched tv. I received my bill for $869. I only had the basic package. I contacted the company to only have them your to me about why I owed that amount. They sent my bill over to collections. So I contacted Lexington Law who challenged the collections company, so a month later the account was removed from my credit report.
Little over a year and a half goes by, Comcast sends that same account back to collections again. This time through a different company. I am in the process of going through Lexington Law again. Whatever you do, stay way from Xfinity. They are a scam. How can I order movies if I am at work. Actually had the proof that I was at work. I lived alone. Regardless of what they do, they will not get a penny out of me. I tried talking to them on the phone to only get passed around to different departments.

So the Comcast representative that I spoke to I specifically made it clear that I can't pay a penny more and I didn't want any mess out of Comast. I told him that I was looking for the lowest Basic package with internet and house phone. I told him I was on disability because of my disabilities. I'm on a fixed income. I do not expect my bill to be any more than the $87 that he calculated. I would pay every month on the 3rd. When I paid my bill $147.00 November 4th because I had to pay 60.00 for them to come and install equipment so they installed equipment October 4th. I told him I will be paying my bill November 3rd and on the 3rd every month. After I paid it I got an email saying my next bill due for $177. He promised me and reassured me that my bill wouldn't be over the $87. He lied.
Now I've talked to several Representatives. They all tell me something different so I ended up letting go of the phone. I need the internet to try to study for my GED. I spoke to one of Comcast Executive. I explained the situation to him and I explained to him about my due date as well. He told me that the computer generates the bill so if the equipment was installed on the 4th October my bill should be due every 4th of the month. He tells me the computer generated my bill to be paid on October 22nd. So now I'm going to be charged the $10 late fee every month. So can you tell me since when a computer controls your due date and it can't be changed. So he said that I don't really owe double, just pay my bill every month and I should be ok. Well they know this is wrong so that need to send consumers letters saying disregard the amount and pay 87.00 if that's the case.
Now you're telling me that a computer is running the humans that work at Comcast. So hopefully something good will come where I can let them go because unfortunately the apartment that I just moved in is only affiliated with Comcast. So I'm stuck with them until I move or just going to get me some antennas. The worst thing they could ever have done was took live television off TV. But something needs to be done about these cable companies and their high prices and the scams that they generate to use on us consumers is unfair. Somebody gotta do something. It's hard out here. We don't need companies like this making lives more miserable than it is and they will continue to run over us because they think we can't do anything about it. That's all I have to say. Sick of being used. Thank you.

My bill went up almost $20 today. When I called to ask why, a service representative told me that I wasn't on a two-year contract even though my husband and I were assured that our price was locked in for two years when we went to the Comcast store in July. He offered to lock me in for a two-year price at $185. Then he suggested he might be able to get the DVR option for me for free. Imagine my surprise when, ten minutes later he came back on the line and told me the price went up to $203! I asked to speak to a second level supervisor. She told me there was no indication that the first rep had offered me a two-year contract at $185 and her best offer price was $211.
At this point I had been on the phone with these two useless people for over 40 minutes. I was then informed that I might get a better deal at a Comcast store. Seriously - what kind of company has two different price points depending on whether you visit face to face or attempt to do business on the phone??? So I went to the store. The store staff was no help and although the service reps said they understood my frustration, they were rude and as useless as the phone reps. They made it very clear that my business was not important to Comcast.
I have been a customer for 12 years and never missed a payment or turned in a payment late. The good news - since I do not have a contract, it makes moving to DISH network and CenturyLink so much easier. BTW - phone, internet and TV go out regularly at least one time a week on Comcast, so poor quality and poor customer service should not be rewarded with my hard-earned dollars. Please- do yourselves a favor and do some research. If you have other options, please don't allow Comcast to be your go-to choice. You can get better pricing and service from a company that has not grown so big its internal motto is "we don't care, we don't have to."

Let me start by saying I would give 0 stars if I could. I cannot express enough how much I despise this company. Our service is ALWAYS coming in and out, despite paying over $200 a month! Every time I call to complain, I’m told there’s nothing they can do and they just restart the device (which of course never works). I have never received a credit for the interrupted service and when asked how they could lower our bill, I was told they can’t. Well I finally got fed up and called to cancel so I could bring my business elsewhere and surprise surprise, they were all of a sudden willing to lower our bill AND could send out a technician free of charge to help improve our signals. Unfortunately this has been a frustrating process for 3+ years so #alittletoolate. I will NEVER recommend this company.

We already pay $130 a month for simple cable with Comcast. And every time we turn around our service is down, glitching out, always turns off when we try and switch the Xbox back over, watching tv and the screen goes black and we have to sit there and turn the box off and back on, and on demand is even worse. Why do we pay this money for ** crap? And none of us have a say in it because it’s the only cable pretty much around us right now. I wish companies gave 2 ** but no one does. Just take take take and give nothing respectable back. It’s infuriating.

I've been a Comcast customer for a long time mostly because there weren't any other choices. I read through the reviews and the stories are all similar. It never changes! I'm disabled on a limited income and I scrape to pay this bill. I have had multiple heart attacks, I've had an artery dissection on my heart which left an aneurysm. I got the home phone because I didn't need a mobile phone. I needed a home phone to call an ambulance if I needed one but Comcast can't provide reliable service! I have had intermittent service since July. They knew back then that it was in the pole but kept giving me the runaround, lying, saying it was under my house and they couldn't do anything about it!
To make a long story short there were a lot of phone calls, a lot of Tech visits and the last one it took him 10 minutes to fix the problem "AT THE POLE" yet Comcast doesn't think that any of that was their fault. They offered me $87.50, Which in the end they never called back so apparently I'm not even getting that for not having reliable service for 4 months. They don't care that if I had a heart attack I couldn't call an ambulance, they only care that sometimes I had service! IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT DON'T COUNT ON A COMCAST HOME PHONE! I ended up having to get another cell phone that I didn't want! I don't know anyone who's had Comcast and hasn't had to make a complaint.

I don't remember the exact date I started having problems with my internet and cable. I believe around December of 2017, the NIGHTMARE HORRIBLE SERVICE BEGAN. First my internet became really slow, and was taking 3 days to download a game. Then my cable started freezing up, and I had to reset my receivers more times than I can count, to fix this problem. I have talked to Tech Support, the Loyalty team, and Executive Customer Relations. Your Tech Support says that your service team has been to my house 5 times to fix the problem. I remember 3 times that I had to take off work, because I had to fill out vacation slips for the time I missed.
Your executive customer relations says two. I finally escalated the call on 2-5-18, to an **. They came out on 2-8-18, I had him move my router/modem upstairs, to hard-wire my gaming systems to the modem, which fixed my internet problem. They never fixed my cable, I figured our contract was up in 6-7 months, so I will just deal with it. We set up DirecTV and had them for a few days. I went out of town and came back, and found out my mom set service back up with COMCAST. I do not know why? The problem with my cable freezing up continues. I called and talked to customer service to have my problem escalated, to fix this problem. I got an email from Brittny ** on Sept 24th. I called her back that day and left a message.
I waited a couple days called back, and then talked to another lady in customer relations and asked to speak to Brittny, She wasn't available. I called again the next day and left a message. Finally on Friday I got a hold of her. The first thing out of her mouth was, "What do you want? I don't know what you want? It says you want to cancel your service." I kept trying to explain to her tried what I wanted and she kept interrupting me. I finally asked if she was gonna let me talk, she said "yes go ahead". As soon as I started talking she interrupted me again. I then asked to go above her head. She said rudely, "That's not gonna happen." I told her I will find out who is above her and complain.
She said "that's fine, no matter who you complain to, or what you do it will always come back to me." I finally had it escalated to a manager and had an appointment set up, but my mother didn't know anything about it so she canceled it. The manager closed the ticket out, because I was going out of town. When I got back I called and set up an appointment for Friday October 26th, and wrote a letter to The Better Business Bureau. The service tech came out Friday and found there was water in one of the outside cables. So he replaced the cable that was wet and assumed this was the problem, made sure our cable was running and left. This was not the problem, and my cable is still freezing up.
So now I have another appointment set up for October 30th. My new customer relations person is Rudy **. I talked to him today and he said "SOMETHING NEW HAPPENED WITHIN THOSE THREE DAYS THAT IS CAUSING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR MONTHS." Haha. I am dumbfounded at how rude and bad customer service is with this company. I have pretty much been called a liar. They do not care that people have to take time off work, waste day after day for them to fix a problem.
On the Xfinity forum there are a lot of people with the same problem. I will update and let everyone know how many days it takes them to get my cable running the way it should. If they can, which I am doubting. I am writing an email to the Vice President of customer service to let him know my experience. Executive Customer Relations says he will just pass it back to them. So I really don't think anyone at this company cares about the customers, and what they go through just to get this EXPENSIVE CABLE to run like it should. Not only is this the worst cable I have ever had, it is by far the worst company I have ever had to deal with. I am telling you "save yourself a major headache and avoid this nightmare company called Comcast."

Was on auto payments for 10 months, never changed my credit card. After 10 months, they said my credit card denied payments even though I still have the same card with me. They started billing late fee. One day they still disconnected without notice. I had to call them from overseas to pay a month bill. Then they started re-connection fees (one for TV and one for internet). Because of slow speed, service technician came and did all fixes outside house (lot of disturbances - so he added some extra earth wires). He came inside to check the speed on laptop. I got a bill for $60 even though he did not do anything inside the house.
After a year, they switched my plan from $49 to $89 automatically, added HD fees $10 and also convenience fee $5.99 (only Xfinity/Comcast and God know what is this fee). Called them so far 5 times, made one payment, spoke to multiple people, each one says her supervisor will call me, never happened. One person May spoke, she promised a thorough analysis of my account, promised to call me at 11 am, call never came. It came at 1 pm when I was at airport. We rescheduled the call next day and it has been four days and no call from her so far. I wasted my time all these days talking to them, will disconnect by end of this month.

I explained to the Xfinity sales rep when I signed up for Xfinity's service what I needed. I was told that would be no problem. I ended up having to add on 2 extra tv boxes because it wasn't possible to stream like they said. So right off the bat, I was paying more than I was told in the beginning. I have had 4 different tech appts just in the month of Oct, and that doesn't even count the previous 6 months. They had me go exchange my modem. A tech replaced both wireless tv boxes. I have spent hours on the phone with customer service and they have reset my whole system several times. I have taken time off work, gone into work late, and left early some days in order to be home for the many tech appts. Today's tech visit, I was told someone had to be at my house all day because it was going to be a specialised tech visit, but they guaranteed my service would finally be fixed after this appt.
The tech showed up, no call ahead as promised. He came to the door after he was "done" and told my daughter he had tightened a few things and was leaving. My daughter said, "I think you're suppose to come in and make sure everything is working." He said, "Nope, my work order doesn't say that." Yet that's what customer service told me he'd do. That he wouldn't leave until everything was working. So I called customer service AGAIN, went through all the unplugging, rebooting, resetting that we've done a zillion times even though I explained that to the agent, she insisted we do it again. So 1.5 hrs on the phone later, NOTHING WAS RESOLVED!!! She sets up ANOTHER tech appt?!? Unbelievable!! We have had one good tech by the name of Mike, but in my opinion, the other techs are either incompetent or they just flat out don't want to or refuse to do their job. Good luck if you decide to take the risk and go with Xfinity/Comcast!!

Having Comcast for over 20 years and being frustrated with poor customer service and staff training at some point every year I am finally leaving. This is the last straw - Friday evening (of course a football weekend...) my X1 stopped working where I couldn't make any change to the existing channel and when I called they said it was a signal problem so would have to schedule a technician for Sunday as they couldn't fit me in on Saturday. Not happy but okay - on Saturday I received a call from the Advance Technology team saying that my signal was good and did I still need the Sunday appointment.
I said the TV was still not working and he said it "has to be the box then" because my internet signal was strong and they're both on the same line. He suggested I change the box and was "certain" this would solve my problem and did I still need the Sunday appointment. Thinking a new box would solve the problem based on the agent's feedback I agreed to cancel the appointment - big mistake. I went to the Comcast store and waited 30 minutes before I finally had to leave for a dinner appointment (apparently they were well understaffed). I went back Sunday morning and replaced the box.
Well, same problem but now I didn't have an appointment so called and they said it would be Tuesday until anyone could come out. I said this was unacceptable considering I cancelled my Sunday appointment based on their agent’s feedback and asked for a Supervisor. After about 10 minutes someone not very supervisory (or even friendly) said they would have the dispatcher call me and put me on the "Waiting List" for an earlier appointment. Well, Sunday evening came and I received a call "confirming" my Tuesday morning appointment. I expressed my displeasure in not a very nice way and just hung up. Comcast sucks and I'm leaving!

Based on my research on the Comcast/Xfinity website’s Community Forum, I’m one many victims of their habit of kicking their customers when they are down. Their fees are ridiculously high and when you try to get a manageable rate, they trap you into one of their ‘specials’ which requires a 2 year contract with a hefty $200+ cancellation fee. My most recent relationship with this cable company existed from March 2009 thru April 2018 – 9 years. In January 2018, I had the emotionally taxing task of taking my mom off a respirator and allowing her to go in peace.
Bills came at me from everywhere, I had to move/downsize, handle all of mom's final arrangements, creditors etc. all while dealing with my own knee surgery. The last thing on my mind while apartment hunting was that Comcast/Xfinity would not be allowed in a rental community 5 miles from my former residence in Alpharetta, GA. Turns out that there was this one pocket of 230 apt homes – affordable and suitable for me – which just became exclusively AT&T U-Verse. I found out as I was making transfer/moving arrangements that AT&T won the contract with the community and I was not allowed to use any other provider.
End of April 2018, I took everything back to Comcast and explained the situation. The CR rep mechanically recited that “the system shows” I will be charged a fee for ‘breaking the contract’. Comcast/Xfinity owed me a credit of $52 which they withheld and promptly proceeded to bill me for an additional $157 that they claimed I owed them for “breaking the contract”. Up until a few months before I moved, they had physically come to the apt. and/or did troubleshooting via phone 8-10 times to ‘fix’ something which only reverted to the same issues shortly after. I had to hard-wire my Smart TV and laptop to get any kind of reliable speed/connection (Wi-Fi was a joke!) and not ONE time did they ever credit my account for all the inconveniences.
Comcast/Xfinity failed to gain a contract for my new home/area 5 miles away and I get to pay a cancellation fee?! How do they justify punishing a customer for moving (under duress) to a place where their service does not exist? When the collection agency started calling to tell me about my “contractual obligations” I was LIVID!! I told them I was NOT paying anything, they already kept the $52 credit from my account, adding insult to injury after 9 years of sub-standard service.
Fast forward to September 27, 2018 – icing on the cake – the wretched $157 cancellation fee has now appeared on my credit report! Tanked my scores across the board by 32-44 points!! Until this occurrence, my credit record was exemplary, no late payments and/or collections in over 10 years. Here I am trying to recover from tragedy in my life/finances, to move forward and Comcast/Xfinity does this mess! I’m completely disgusted!! I will NEVER use them again for any reason! I will get an HD antenna, HULU, Amazon Prime – WHATEVER I have to do, to avoid dealing with them!

After it was installed he told me he had made a mistake and it would be $10.00. I really wanted it so I let it slide. Then a few minutes later, after talking to someone on the phone, he told me I had to get HD with the DVR and that was also $10.00. He was SO SORRY but, apparently, there was also no free promotion. That was a total scam! Very poor business practices. I had CenturyLink with DirecTV before this and no price increases!

I called customer service and the woman was seemingly very nice but it turns out it was all smoke and mirrors. She walked me through a couple of things but said I needed to talk to collections and she would transfer me. Also turned out they had an incorrect email address which by the way was verified by me initially on July but somehow got switched (missing 2 characters). The woman supposedly took my correct email and said she's sending me a link to access my prior bills. The link turned out to be a feedback link only. She attempted to transfer me to collections. Was on hold for a while and then came back stating they are closed (nice). She then gave me a number to call.
I called it today (read it back to her by the way and she verified) and there is no such number. I called Xfinity back and they said they couldn't access my acct without an account number. The woman the other day accessed it with other info because I no longer had the acct number. This woman today said she couldn't and was rude.

Told chat rep that I never discussed anything about giving or having to give Comcast permission to transfer my number to my new provider. Why would I, it's MY phone number and have had it for years. Told her I would handle that when the time came to do so. *When I acquired new service I gave them MY home phone number and works and the phone service is NOT through Comcast.
My experience with added packages not requested and jousting with billing regarding improper billing is not singular. I know of 2 other people in my locale having same problems. One person has documented proof yet Comcast turn the over to a collection agency. PS. Suspiciously, both Comcast reps I talked to had an accent and both talked so very low it was difficult to understand what they were saying or if they understood what I was saying. Purposely?
Updated on 10/06/2018: This is a followup of my (1 star) review posted on Sept 28, 2018. I am into my 4th conversation with billing reps regarding that I had cancelled all service on Sept 24. In a prior call I was told to not make payment and assured that bill would be corrected by Oct 5. Guess what? It wasn't. Just got off conversation with 5th Xfinity rep and she has assured me that matter/problem has been detected, is recorded and resolved, and I am to call the Cancellation Dept... the place that is responsible for the screw up to begin with. I personally know someone battling same problem with Comcast/Xfinity, and though she has records, while still battling with the company they turned her account over to a collection agency. If possible DO NOT use Comcast/Xfinity. If you have to DO NOT use auto pay method to pay bill. I did not and very happy I did not.

I switched to a competitor tv and internet service because the monthly charges continually increased year after year and the package they offer was less than the competitors. I checked with Comcast to see if there were any binding contracts and they said I was on a contract plan but I did not accept the plan back in January 2017. They opened a case and they called me back to confirm I did not have a contract. So I canceled my service and returned all the equipment promptly. When I returned the equipment they said I would be charged the early termination fee, but I could dispute the charges. A few days later I called and spoke to customer service and they supposedly created a ticket to dispute the charges and it would take 24 hours to process. I called back after 48 hours to follow up.
The customer service rep would not listen to me and kept stating I had a contract and had no record of my dispute. He also said I had to go the Comcast store to get the charges disputed, which I found out later was a lie. The next day, on my way to the Comcast store, I called again and the rep also said I had a charge for early termination and there was no record of the dispute. She again created a ticket for the dispute and said I could check back in 24-48 hours. I asked. She email me with this information, but says she cannot do it and the system would email me in 2 hours. I never got the email.
I continued to the store and they told me billing issues are handled on the phone, not at the store. (Comcast rep lied to me about going to the store to do this.) Anyhow, I had them create another dispute at the store and asked why they were charging me without a contract. They could not answer, only make up lies about how I am the first time this has happened.
In all the calls and face to face meetings I had with them, they are the worst liars as their individual stories change during the conversations and they all have different stories/excuses as to why they are charging this fee. To me it is another way they try to get every dollar out of you before you stop using their services. I have no trust in anyone at Comcast and hope everyone takes what they say with skepticism as they do not care about their customers, they only want to take your money.

If I could, I would give a negative -10. Comcast will rip you have and leave your children in the dark literally. I paid and expensive bill of $428 and 10 days later Comcast came into my account and took the same exact payment (which was for an electric bill). Now they want me to wait for 14 days to do an investigation before they will consider doing a refund. This situation has been going on since Monday and have talked to 5 different people, all saying different things. Let's not forget their finance department hide behind a computer screen and will only communicate to you through the person you are talking with on the phone. Soon as my contract is up with Comcast, I will definitely be leaving.

I was not going to be able to continue the busy at ever or for me never work again. I wish Comcast realized that things are not always rosy. I have been in bed for roughly 10 months now and I still get the daily wake up call from Comcast asking for payment.

The end of June I moved and my only option was Comcast, held my breath and said a prayer. I took mobile phone service with internet and cable. Getting help setting up the phone was a nightmare. Spoke with 2 reps before service was switched from my old carrier, both said they would call back after the download was complete, didn't hold my breath, good thing because they didn't call back. Had a family member finish helping me with the setup. Service was suppose to be unlimited talk and text and if 1gb was used for data then I would be charged 12.00. Don't use my phone for anything other the talk and text don't go on the internet don't use any of the apps but willing to say maybe I did something that caused me to use data. Paid the bill with the additional charge and moved on.
Month 2 the additional GB charge appeared again. I called and by the time I was done I was more confused than ever and the things the rep. told me to do I had already done, like turning off data saver and making sure wifi was turned on. I opted to take the survey (don't laugh) and did not give a good review. Several weeks later I had someone from Comcast call me and I was totally impressed. After a long talk she offered me a $75.00 credit.
Month 3 of service. So my new bills now shows a balance of over $158.00. Because instead of crediting my account they charged me $75.00. Spent over 20 minutes with another Rep. to report what had happened and all he wanted to do was give me my 75.00 on next months bill which means I would not get my credit they promised me. Finally they agreed they owed me 150.00 to make it right. Well time will tell but now I might just fight for some additional compensation. I live in a senior apt complex and Comcast is really taking advantage of that with some of these tenants who don't fight but just give up.

One star only because there isn't a ZERO star rating. Reluctantly switched to Comcast in Oct 2016 because they were and are the only game in town for our new home. 2 years later there has not been ONE FULL WEEK when everything has functioned correctly. 17+ technician visits. Issues escalated to their highest tech support with repeated promised follow-up calls... NONE have EVER been made. Teaching customer service reps to be overly polite (India and Philippines) is great but USELESS when they aren't capable of resolving ANYTHING EVER.
I could detail each service call and tech visit but I'd need a case of **. Suffice to say they absolutely can't get out of their own way. Oh, and when they tell you they're "issuing a credit for your troubles", don't hold your breath. While I've never asked for a credit, they've been "promised" umpteen times. I'm aware of exactly ONE... for $12. Based on my experience and in my opinion... if you can use ANY other service you'd likely be way better off. If there was a company called, "We Absolutely Suck Cable & Internet", I'd happily use them vs. Comcast. Yes, it's THAT bad!

I cannot afford to pay a month in advance so now I have Comcast calling with their courtesy call.

I would not recommend at all using Comcast/Xfinity services. After multiple years with Verizion Fios and never having a issue my cable and internet, I decided to make a switch to Comcast. First off, the reason for the bad review is having to move out of state and Comcast is not available in that area. I was told by the agent on the phone after I closed the account of what I was to owe, simple enough...or so I thought.
When I received my bill I had a termination fee on it of $110. I called customer support and was told that even if I move out of state and Xfinity is not available I was still responsible for the termination fee... Hmmm. It's a wonder why so many people are leaving and shutting cable services off and finding other alternatives. I had issues from day one with Comcast. Had to call multiple times to complain about my internet services not working at night. The only explanation I would receive was that they were "performing maintenance"... Every night? I had this issue almost every night... Why was I paying for services that were not rendered to me? The only way they could help me was to give free HBO, which I told them I did not want... Oh and by the way you sign a new contract with them too after having to get better service.
Second, you are forced into using their routers with the phone jack. The only way to get their deal is to include phone services... Which no one uses anymore and the routers in the store are in the ballpark of $200 plus for one and you will probably never use. My advice, stick with a antenna and find other cable options... Comcast is of no use to me and shouldn't be for anyone. It's a wonder how they can afford so to bid billions of dollars for other companies. I guess the "fees" they collect on John Q public make them who they are today... Unfaithful and un-loyal to their customers.

Today was another instance of needing to contact Comcast customer service and them not knowing what was going on with the Comcast/Xfinity service in my area. My television and internet went out at approx. 10:00 am so I tried everything I have had to do in the past to no avail, so I called Comcast customer service. They informed me that there were no service interruptions in my area and scheduled a service call for the next day. Shortly thereafter as I was leaving my complex (I live in a senior apt. complex) I noticed five Comcast trucks on both sides of the street with workers up on the poles. I went into the management office of my complex and they told me that Comcast service was out in the entire complex. I then went out and spoke to one of the Comcast supervisors next to one of the trucks, and he informed me that new fiber optic cable was being installed and customer service was charged with notifying the customers affected.
Obviously customer service is on a different planet, since when I spoke with them on the telephone they knew nothing about the outage and did not notify customers of the pending outage. As much as I enjoy the broadcast of Comcast/Xfinity their customer service needs to be trained on how to serve their customers. If I experience another instance of Comcast customer service ignorance I am going to change my TV provider.

I ended up leaving because I had to make it to work on time. To make matters worse, I called, spoke to an associate who offered to mail the equipment in 3 to 5 days, which is extremely unacceptable because if you are told you can pick it up it should be readily acceptable at any location.

I called Comcast in August 2017 to start services at my new address. That phone call in itself was a nightmare, as the rep keep trying to badger me into more products and kept me on the phone for 50 minutes. First of all they said I had to take triple play because double play is not available, but don't worry because triple play is actually cheaper. I do not have a landline. In the end I am getting-Starter XF Double Play (notice it states double play) at a bundle discount of $69.99 Plus all the other charges ($11 modem rental, $7.75 broadcast TV, $6.75 regional sports fee, $1.89 taxes, fees, & surcharges). To begin with my bill should have been less than $100. But wait, you want HD channels-well that's a different box and that's $9.95 more!
I used to live in Nutley NJ, there we had a choice of cable providers. We had Optimum, HD channels were not charged extra. I wanted to switch to Optimum after my current complaint. Optimum told me that cable companies can't overlap service areas, what? They did in Nutley. So Comcast has a monopoly here in Hackettstown, no competition, how is that fair?
So, here is the current problem with Comcast-up until July 2018, my bill was $107.33 (it had gone up about $4 within the year). I just got my August bill and it's $157.88! I called them and read them my previous (July) bill, which states BUNDLED SERVICES: Starter XF Double Play 07/16-08/15 129.22 includes digital starter and performance internet. Promotional Discount 07/16-08/15. The end date of your promotion is 08/15/20. Promotional Discount 07/16-08/15. The end date of your promotion is 08/15/18. Bundle Discount -59.23. TOTAL Bundled Services 69.99 (plus the other charges, total 107.33).
This is what I was told my price would be-period, by the rep when I signed up in August 2017 and was told that I could cancel at any time. So now my current bill for Starter XF double play bundle is 119.99 (plus the other charges, total 157.88). First I did online chat with customer service, that was a waste of time. Then I spoke to a rep. I told him that my previous statements shows ONE discount, therefore those promo end dates refer to that discount, since there is no other explanation defined on my statement.
The rep said I was wrong, that I have a second promo which ends 8/15/19 where my bundle cost is 119.99 (plus the other charges, total 157.88) And a third promo which ends 8/15/20 where my bundle is 129.99!!! (plus the other charges, total 167.88). Exactly where is that indicated on my previous statements??? Am I a mind reader? I also asked the rep- "How do you think my lawyer would interpret my previous statements which show ONE promo with a final end date of 8/15/20?" The rep couldn't answer that. He offered me another package that would TOTAL 124.00 and I would lose at least 6 channels. I declined his offer because I feel the only way to interpret my previous statements is that my discount is in effect until August of 2020.
My other complaint was that when I got my package the NFL channel was part of that package and one day it was just gone, I was told- "Sorry we moved that to a higher priced package." Really, you can just take things out of a package a customer signed up for? Overall Comcast has very poor written and verbal communications. If there was to be a second and third promo cost it should have been outlined that way on my statements. I don't feel I'm wrong. I do not like Comcast and they have to stop taking advantage of their customers!!!

We have been with Comcast since 2016, in that time we have had more issues with them than we ever did with DirecTV in 15+ years. At one point I thought I signed up for a 24 month plan and six months into, my bill jumped over $150. Come to find out I wasn't on a 24 month plan and then got talked into a 24 month tv/internet/phone/home bundle, we tried to downgrade six months into and were successful but I thought the phone and home security were being removed, come to find out the home security wasn't.
Now for the services I receive, they are sub-par. The boxes in our bedrooms are constantly needing unplugged, rebooted, claiming it can't connect to the DVR box, etc. The internet comes in spurts, sometimes it's great and then sometimes it just randomly goes out. Our DVR box has had to be replaced twice because it was fried during an electrical storm. We have it plugged into a surge protector but it still went out on us and we had to have a technician come out to replace it twice. Come to find out they didn't properly ground the wiring which is likely the cause for the boxes getting damaged during an lightning storm. When we first got our service they had to a run a wire from the box at the road to the house, it took them 4-5 months to get someone out here to bury the wire. I had to constantly check up on it and at first they weren't even showing it was on the list to have the contractor come out to do it.
We live in an established neighborhood within city limits so there were already a lot of Comcast customers in our neighborhood. Just the price we have paid for their services and the services they have provided, it just seems excessive and I feel they have been in breach of their contract with regards to the services they are supposed to provide. They did tell me that I could have technicians come out and check things when they go wrong but I can't sit around taking time away from work to let the Comcast technician come to my home every time I have an issue, or sit on the phone with them each time the boxes in other rooms cannot connect to the DVR box. I know they have early termination fees but if you are not getting the services you expected from them and they are not holding up their end of the agreement, why is the customer the one that has to suffer from the relationship?

Internet down, we were informed that is was a local outage. Never notified outage was corrected, so we called several times. Still down after a week even though outsourced script reading customer service says outage is fixed. Informed we need to schedule an appointment with a 4 hour window to wait on them, miss work etc. This morning I talked to a Comcast tech sitting in a service van at a convenience store parking lot. He was playing video games on his iPad when I walked up to his window. He told me there is no other way to communicate with Comcast other than through the outsourced poor English speaking script reading center. He said that they should of given us a 2 hour window instead of a 4 hour window.
I ask if he could go fix our problem right now since he was sitting playing video games but he said no, he had to be dispatched. (Probably through the outsourced call center). This pretty much explains why Comcast sucks in customer service. They have no idea how bad the process is, what their techs are doing, nor do they care. We have requested a credit on our bill of 25% because we have had no service for a week (and still don't). I will be shocked if I ever see 1 penny of credit, charging us for a product that has not been delivered.

Five years ago I complained to Comcast monthly charges not being the same as the amount I was told to pay. After several months of auditing I found a $2.50 average excess tax charge being billed monthly. This caused the next monthly bill to always have a delinquent balance carried forward. After calling and complaining, each month I have been given a credit for this excess tax. This allowed Comcast to charge millions of dollars to their customers throughout the world. Today, there are three to four random $8.00 to $18.00 additional Comcast charges being added to my monthly bill. The excess tax fee is still being credited, however now there is a $10.00 late fee added to my bundled monthly charges, that carries over as an unpaid balance forward. This could be a massive class action lawsuit for overcharging.

I am being charged a $250 charge for leaving Comcast because I had a verbal agreement (which I don't remember) for another year with them. Meanwhile, I've been with them for years! The only reason I am leaving is because I got DirecTV so my husband could watch his favorite football team which isn't in the city we live in. I might have gone back to them one day because I liked Comcast better than DirecTV but I won't now... Don't they understand what Customer Service is all about???

They called me to offer me a promotion but neglected to tell me that the new promotion would actually give me fewer channels and slower internet (they promised faster internet). Then after multiple promised credits and several complaints, they changed my one year agreement to a two year agreement without my consent. They did this right before the expiration of the garbage promotion they scammed me into. They don’t even deserve the one star you're forcing me to give them.

I have been contacted twice in the past several months by Comcast telemarketers attempting to sell me additional services. Last month I agreed to an "upgrade" which was marketed to me as "more channels for less money". I had to pay for the install of these "upgraded" services because they say my modem was not sufficient to support the new package. I noticed that some of the channels I watch now say that I need "to subscribe" to receive those channels.
When I contacted Comcast customer service, I was advised that these channels are not included in my "upgraded" package. They offered to "downgrade" me back to my previous package for more money and less services. I am still paying off the installation of the new modem. One star is far too high of a rating for such an unethical organization who monopolize service areas to prevent subscribers to be able to go elsewhere. The only way to get rid of them is to relocate to an area that offers alternatives.

Comcast Xfinity advertises that they make moving your cable & internet services easy - my move with Xfinity was absolutely terrible! After going to an Xfinity center in person over a month in advance to arrange all the details of my move in services, I moved just across town & found that I had NO services set up. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone with Xfinity customer service getting passed around to a string of incompetent people who kept giving me different answers as to what the problem was, none of which were correct, then a service technician was finally sent out to establish service at our new home.
Five months later - I receive a bill from a credit collection agency from Comcast, although I've been establish online for quite some time now with my Comcast Xfinity account and paying my bill every month with no notification of an outstanding unpaid amount & no problems. So back on the phone with Xfinity customer service, getting passed around to a string of incompetent representatives who have no idea why I wasn't notified about the outstanding bill, and express not ONE OUNCE of concern that I'm upset they've sent a bill I wasn't even notified about to a collection agency.
I then went directly to the Xfinity Center close to my new home in Highlands Ranch, CO, requesting a manager because I had a complaint. I was simply passed off to the the next customer service representative who was completely curt, smug & unapologetic about my concerns - but did explain that the reason I did not receive the final bill & it did go to collections is because they were ultimately unable to transfer my account & services when I moved, so they had established a new account & services in order to get my full Xfinity services to work at my new home. According to this customer service rep, that wasn't really Comcast Xfinity's fault, just an unusual circumstance they had no control of!! This company has completely incompetent & terrible customer service representatives - and they ARE NOT set up to transfer services well when you move.

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. They provide sub-par internet and cable service as well as horrible customer service. Their service is constantly going in and out, tons of outages, and for the money they charge they should be able to move their call center to the US. My latest beef with them came after they charged my account an additional $26 a month after they have been raising the price slowly for the last 2 years. I've swallowed the pill and paid the bill. So when I questioned them about it, they claimed it was a discount that I had on my bill that expired a year ago. They think we're stupid. Our bill has been the same for the last 1-1/2 years and now the 1 year discount expired? How am I getting a discount if my rate has been going up for the last few years and NOW it's going up again another $26.
This is highway robbery and my family has decided to get rid of this ** company. I hope that more people do it and their market share drops and they will be forced to go back to their old prices. Paying over $200 in cable and internet is beyond ridiculous. It's a shame that after 15 years, they don't recognize their loyal customers.

Comcast has gotten away from what built their company which is offering good customer service. When I first opened my account, the man entering my information, entered it incorrectly so now every time I have to call them it is literally a 3 hour ordeal and not only that, they do not solve my problem. Why I am writing today is because it has been several months and way too many hours holding to count so I wanted to express to others that if there is another option for service in your area, take it!!! They make the sale and make sure they are able to bill you monthly, after that you will need a lot of good luck to get even the simplest problem fixed.
Expect when you call into Comcast to spend at least 5 minutes on the phone with a computer offering options that are not what you need, then you answer all the questions again that you had to for the computer which will take a little bit after you finally get a person on the phone. I would not use their service if I did not have to, where I live they have strong armed the market and are my only option. I wish you all the best and hope this was a help to others.

I would not give any stars if possible. Customer service reps offer packages at one price with misleading info about it, then deliver with lesser service at a higher price.

I review my credit report once a year to enjoy the federal free credit report program. So, early this month of July, I opened up the credit report and was surprised to see a collection in my credit report from Comcast for $1119 posted in June of this year. I was shocked but at the same time confident because the collection came from a reputable like Comcast and thought that it would be easily resolved once I notify the collection agency about the wrong transaction. So, I called the collection agency (Diversified Consultants) who informed me that an account was opened with my information somewhere in South side of Chicago, IL (9201 S. Paxton Ave).
I told the representative that it was not me and he was apologetic and promised to file in a report to that effect. On Experian website, I also contested the transaction and they promised to investigate it and get back to me as soon as possible. Two weeks later, on Thursday 7/19/18, I received a notice from Experian and when I checked the report, I was shocked to see that Comcast reposted the debt in my credit report and confirmed that they were right about the posting. I got annoyed. So, I called Comcast customer service directly to lodge the complaint and check to see if there were accounts with them in my name. The representative told me there were no other accounts but I had to talk to their billing department for further help. I got transferred to the billing dept and gave my information.
The representative asked me for the address of where the service took place and I told him that I didn’t know and he said he would not be able to pull up the account if I couldn’t give the address. Then I said, Comcast is the one alleging that I am owing them, it is their duty to provide all relevant information. He said NO, it doesn’t work like that and he said I should go back to the collection agency to get the address. So, I called the collection agency again and the representative gave me the address. He also said that I could file a complaint with Comcast Fraud Department by visiting xfinity.com/fraudclaimform. I went back to Comcast customer service billing dept and gave them the address and that was how I was able the account and phone numbers associated with this debt.
Then I went to the website, downloaded and completed the forms. After faxing over the documents, I called them back to make sure they received it, the representative said it would take 72 hours for them to confirm receipt of the documents. So, on the fifth day which was Monday 7/23/18 when I didn’t heard from them, I called the fraud dept just to make sure that they received the documents I faxed to them. After giving the representative my phone number, he said yes they received the documents but the documents are not valid because I didn’t include any bill within October 2017 and Jan 2018. I asked him if they saw the copy of the state driver’s license that was issued far back in 2015 to expire in 2019, he said they cannot work on that. This is, no doubt, a big insult.
Comcast is protecting criminals, otherwise, how can they say that a complainant’s state driver’s license is not recognized in a fraud case? I will not be surprised if Comcast itself used my information in their system to open the fictitious account because I used Comcast some time in 2004. Yes, this company no longer carries my respect. I will explore ways to solve this case and will post the outcome.

I have had multiple conversations with customer service, billing and the solutions department in regards to a bill. When I had set up service initially I had set up service at 265 Centre Ave but the day the installer came he called me and said no one is answering the door. I said impossible because I'm home. After going outside I found the installer next door at 267 Centre Ave. He stated he had the wrong address but was able to fix it and assured me there would be no issues. After a couple weeks of my service frequently going in and out of service I called to complain. On that phone call I was told the reason my service keeps getting interrupted is because they have service set up for me at 267 Centre Ave and when they ping the boxes there is no response which makes sense why my service kept getting interrupted.
The woman that day was the best agent your company has! She not only corrected the address but also compensated me for the inconvenience. After this (which was over 2 years ago) I had thought this was a done deal. All my bills came to the correct address and my service had improved so I never suspected any foul play. A couple months ago I went to buy a car (I'm a driver for a living so my credit is the world to me and my family) and to my surprise I had an account in collections which had decreased my credit rating and now was going to cost me more money on a monthly car payment!! Guess who the collections was from, COMCAST!!! After calling and arguing with Comcast’s customer service reps (6 hrs I was on the phone!) I was told that they could not find any accounts or past due bills in my name and suspected my identity had been stolen??
So I called the collections company and they were nice enough to give the account number from Comcast that I was in collections for. After calling Comcast back again and giving them the acct # then and only then did they acknowledge that they had this account in my name and in collections status. I asked them how could this have happened and I was told it was for a past due bill from the very first month I started my service? I asked how is that possible when I am currently a paying customer in good standing with the company. They couldn't answer me so then I asked what address is the bill for and guess what I was told, 267 CENTRE AVE!!!
COMCAST had me in collections for over 8 months destroying my credit for a clerical error and then wanted me to pay for it! I was able to PROVE (as if I was in court defending myself) that the serial #'s on the boxes that I had were never activated at 267 Centre Ave and then and only then did they correct that issue. I then had to dispute the collections with the credit bureaus to fix my credit and that took hours and days! After wasting hours and days of my time and not being able to drive and make a living to support my family (since I couldn't get the car I had initially wanted) I was told they would compensate me for my last month of service (yes I left and went elsewhere).
It has been over a month now and I am still being billed for the last month of service. I called to complain and was told they would call me back. After a week of no one calling me back I called back again. I was told again that someone would call me back and it has now been over week and no one has called me back!! Is this really how this company treats people?? You tarnish a person's credit, damage their livelihood, disrupt their earning ability and then make promises that are never kept???

They told me they would waive the shipping fee even though that was not the solution needed. I wasted another day waiting for the technician. The technician immediately said my box was not the one that should have been used for HD. The previous technician did not know that. UGH! My billing address was incorrectly attached to my account which it took over 4 phone calls to update. I was charged a late fee for incorrect billing due to expired credit card details. I had updated the details on the app which did not take. I was told they could not credit my account on customer service and that I had to pay my balance on the phone for a fee.
No word on the credit. I canceled HBO on the app. It did not get applied as a change (not surprising). I called to cancel two times and it finally was dropped but they refused to credit me for the date I made the change on the app. I was told that SHO was part of my package and tried to watch it yesterday and it was not part of package. Should I have to call, follow-up and basically be overcharged monthly for incorrect services? I have only been with them 4 months and it feels like eternity. They are overpriced and under deliver. They should be fined for erroneous billing errors, overcharging and get better customer service training.

My wife and I purchased a home at the end of last year. Up to that point we were satisfied Xfinity customers. When we started the process of the move I contacted Xfinity customer service to inquire if a transfer of service was possible. In the course of the conversation I informed the operator that the home was a new construction. "Absolutely you can transfer your service!" The operator not only assured me that the service would resume in our new home but also said that because we were valued customers, we qualified to have cable, internet, phone and home security for $150.00 a month! So, of course I scheduled the installation.
Well the anticipated day arrived for our installation. The technician arrived on time as promised. However as he inspected our new home he informed us that the cable line ended two doors up the street from us! I informed the tech that this must be some mistake! Xfinity assured me that we had access! So, another conversation ensued with customer service.
(Fast forward 2 months later) I received a call from customer service inquiring why I had chosen not to remain an Xfinity customer? I relayed my story and told the operator that I would love to be an Xfinity customer again. Well lo and behold. I was told that we had access to cable now! Wow! Sign me up! So, again the tech showed up and again we were told that the line had not been extended. Only this time I found out that the Xfinity construction crews operate on their own schedules and the sales side of the house has no control over that schedule. And in most cases has no access to even find out what that schedule is! I found out this little fact while I was speaking with this latest technician. This nice man made inquiries to the corporate offices in Chicago and was informed that the line was to be extended by the end of the week. Guess what happened? Nothing.
So now, two weeks ago, I was strolling thru WalMart, minding my own business, when I was approached by Dave, the friendly neighborhood Xfinity sales representative. I related my story to Dave, who shook his head and expressed regret that I had not had a satisfactory experience. Dave then asked me if he could make inquiries on my behalf to find out if the cable was available. He made his call and beamed with pride as he informed me that indeed cable was now at my address! Yay! AND after signing me up for Xfinity, he put his personal phone number in my phone. With the assurance that if I had ANY issue a simple call to him would remedy the problem. Dave ordered my cable and internet equipment to be sent to my address.
Five days later the equipment arrived with detail instructions on set up. Three days later I finally had an opportunity to install my new equipment. Everything was going great UNTIL I had to rename my home network. So I called Dave, twice. He never answered (and to this date has never called me back to find out what the issue was, as he promised he would do.)
So I called customer service. This in itself was a nightmare and three calls later FINALLY I was speaking to an actual human. I told the technician of my problems and was promptly informed that the house was not connected to the cable network. The technician informed me further that this was an easy fix, it would only require that an installation technician would have to come to the house and complete the installation. For an additional $60 fee. AND I get to leave work to be at the house! So the day arrived when the tech came to the house. Guess what happened. Yes, the technician informed me that the cable line STILL has not been extended. Needless to say I am done!

He reviewed my notes from a Comcast call on 5/10/2018 in which I talked with Lonnie/ Winsky and mentioned that WOW guaranteed me $141.95/mo including taxes. Previous Comcast rate for Triple play was $138.32. He promised that my rate had to go up but to $149.46 incl. taxes until Nov. 24. Joshua said his boss would talk with L/W's boss to confirm and L/W's boss would call within 48 hours. No callback! Also called Comcast two times before and after 10 minutes, Comcast hangs up. NEVER GO WITH COMCAST!

Had a very rude person hang up on me from Comcast. Very bad internet connection & very bad customer service. Also was told that I would get a call back in a half hour from a supervisor. 1.5 hours later no callback. I hate having to call them for anything. Will be looking for new service. Comcast is a big ripoff.

Yes, I live in Florida USA, we are the worst country when it comes to internet, yes, lately on Comcast I’m running out on data. We got 1025GB, it never happened before, farther we reached was 755GB, we doing same things like before. I think Comcast is setting up their customers for charges, I’m not sure if you ever called Comcast customer service, they have no idea how to resolve you problem. I asked them for proof why I’m I running out of data, they don’t have anything to show me, what device I’m using that much to run out of data.
I’m in my house without internet now, I’m almost over the data, I’m in USA. I don’t have internet, last month Comcast told me I double my data usage. They have to charge me extra 160 for internet, I don’t see no American dream, we are just 3rd world country, we are talking about internet here, I don’t have it now, is 6/24, I’m already out resets on 7/1/18, I never passed 700GB before, Comcast can’t do what ever they want to us, you allowed them to rip us hard working people in USA of America.
While I’m running on data, Comcast YV, boxes, security system all using my data, Comcast can do whatever they want. It’s awful, my bill will be 374 for June, in middle of the month I’m out of data. I pay my bill on the 8th every month, but my data is from 1st to 31st, you reset my data when I pay my bill, there is big gap there, Comcast is a rip off, they are so rude, no need to call them at all.

Wish I could give them 0 stars! We have been with them since Jan 2018. What a nightmare. First of all they will always blame the customer and treat you with disrespect and they will not tell the truth! We had a horrible billing error with Xfinity Mobile that overcharged us and in turn debited my bank account way too much and as a consequence other automated drafts coming out bounced. Everyone in this matter was notified by me once I was aware of it and then the nightmare to fix it began. Well over the past 3 months Xfinity Mobile has been great owning their mistake, Xfinity tv and internet horrible!!! We have involved many supervisors, corporate, the mobile team and a legal team just to correct getting the hold off the account so we can put the new information of our checking occupant in for our new account to set up payments.
Well we have been told it was done, corporate was taking care of it and the investigation team is fixing in it for months now. Never fixed. In turn for our appreciation of a customer they have audited the account, turned the services off and threatened us that the bill is past due and must be paid. Well we will pay it once the account is fixed. They was $750 with overcharges and BS for their mistake and they keep telling us that we are in the wrong just to pay the bill for services to be restored. Then I was told today that since the account was past due for this time that the billing nightmare began it would be best to either pay what they are asking or turn in the equipment since I am not willing to do my part as a customer. What???
Make a long nightmare short a supervisor then calls me and tells me I need to call Xfinity Mobile back (their sister team) and talk to my contact over there and get them to call Xfinity corporate tell them what happened with the billing and hopefully someone can help take the hold off my account for payment (since now it’s cash only) because they will believe Xfinity Mobile more than the customer and all my paperwork I provided was not necessary 'cause it needs to come from them. Always getting me to do their job. I called, left a message and immediately called legal services 'cause this has got to stop. Always the customer's fault even when you have printed out communication saying it was fixed and all I asked for was to fix the account on the billing side (Xfinity Mobile did) so we can pay our tv and internet bill since we are loyal paying customers who pay our bills!!
Worst service ever. Guess I will have to turn equipment in and go elsewhere. Just taking customer service recommendations. This company is a nightmare, a liar group of people taught to never put the consumer first. Just GO ANYWHERE else for tv and internet but their phone company is great. Now just have to pay extra charges to unbundle!!! NIGHTMARE.

In April I wanted to lower my bill so customer service set me up with a cable package one time deal and I was not to get charged for installation. First guy came said he couldn't do it, in the meantime I am on chat, phone with multiple people as I saw extended charges on the bill. Second guy comes, hooks up cable. Then I see extra charges of $154.99 on the bill. Several chat and phone talks with promise after promise it would be taken care of. It is June 21 and I am still getting ripped off. I still see the two installation charges on there, too. Will be finding another company.

In December 03, 2014 I walked into a Comcast office to return my cable box and cancel my service because I was moving out of state (from UT to CA). I paid $354.34 (the early termination fee and the last month’s bill) to Comcast and was told that would bring me up to date and would have no other charges on my account. I recently checked my Credit Report and saw a delinquent payment, so I called the creditor associated with this report and was told that it was from Comcast and that I owed $480.28. I disputed this and was told by the operator that a settlement could be reached for over $300 (I can’t remember the exact amount). I believe to be a victim of fraudulent charges and have just filed a complaint with the FCC. This has been negatively impacting my credit score since and I had no idea about this until I checked my credit report. I received no notice or bills from them.

I was checking my bill and I see a $70 charge for an in-home service visit fee. I have to echo my frustration when I see similar postings from so many other Comcast customers. The issue seemed to be resolved the night before the visit but there was no change to anything of mine. I have my own modem and my own router, and my internet access via Xfinity was running fine for two months prior to an unstable line issue.
I'm not sure why I'd get charged $70 when the issue was on Comcast's end. None of the equipment of mine got touched or changed and the issue seemed to go away the night before the technician visited. I have no way of checking what he did other than that nothing was changed on my end and the issue seems to have gone away. When the technician came to my house, he couldn't find anything wrong with my equipment and confirmed that the coax cable into my house/property was a new dedicated one without splitter. He indicated perhaps another technician "tightened some cap on the street level equipments" and that everything is working fine now.
When I contacted Comcast service rep via chat, he reported that the technician put down a code of "customer equipment problem" but when asked on what the technician said he fixed, they couldn't provide any details. He then offered a $35.00 credit. I am puzzled, if nothing was changed on my end, why am I being charged for Comcast's network maintenance? Isn't maintaining the network the job of Comcast, as they are the ISP, and I am just paying for internet access? Am I being penalized for using my own equipment? I am absolutely certain the technician didn't change any line/equipment settings on my property. While it is possible that he put down the wrong code, there is no way for me to verify that with the technician.
Filed complaints against BBB and FTC and received a call from Comcast with the same claim of their technician "fixed" an issue with customer owned equipment when in reality the technician did nothing at all. Looks like a customer has no recourse when the technician is either lying or put down the wrong code and decided to stick to his version of the story. Very disappointed, but then again, had I known this is how Comcast operates, I would have video recorded/phone recorded the technician's entire visit. To anyone who might be using your own equipment, do yourself a favor and record the entire visit to save yourself trouble of fighting spurious Comcast charges.

Our primary TV has not worked since last Saturday. All other TVs in house work. We can’t watch World Cup Soccer or College World Series. Have gone through all the Comcast self checks. Spent two hours on chat line with Comcast yesterday. They refuse to send out a technician. They promised they could fix by “elevating” to next service level at Comcast. They promised we would hear back within 24 hours. They gave me a trouble Ticket # **. I told the chat line person that in the past it took days and repeated calls to get service restored (they have to replace DVR box). He assured me I would hear back within 24 hours. That has passed and still no TV or a phone call. How can this company survive with such poor service. Everyone should switch to DISH.

Avoid this company at all costs! You may think it’s great, until you have to relocate or speak to customer service. Long story short...Salesperson/tech lied. It is impossible to reach anyone of semi importance if you are even lucky enough to speak to a human. I had to discuss my situation via Facebook Messenger! Really?! They knowingly admit to being unable to provide me with their service at new residence. They apologized for my frustration and misinformation received from their employee. They insist I have to pay a $60 early termination fee. No exceptions, no opportunity to speak to a manager, supervisor, or human for that matter. They simply do not care about their customers' concerns.

What she did is compare. She made the others packages expensive than the one I have. I hang up on her cause I was disgusted of this customer service representatives not telling the true just to get you in the same plan paying the same amount of money for channels that I don’t even watch. Sports fee, voice call fee, 911 fee and all the fees they can create to steal my money! I’m getting out of Xfinity as soon I finish my contract. Nothing for existing customers. And as soon you call the promotion is over. I don’t believe in their representatives.

I have been with Comcast for almost 4 years... Over the years I can't count how many times I have had to call because something isn't working. They are way overly priced with a bunch of hidden fees. They set you up for stuff that you didn't even ask for or discuss. Prime example, my bill is due on the 13th. I called to get an extension and they said I had already made one for the 11th which makes no sense at all. So now I have to go to the local office and get it straightened out. Smh... Words of advice. DON'T GET COMCAST SERVICES!!!

I had to cancel my cable several years ago when I had to move out of my apartment. I decided not to renew when I moved. Last summer I needed to get internet for my job, and they are basically our only choice, so I signed up online and received the package in the mail. When I went to connect it wouldn't let me and when I called to ask why, they stated I had never brought them the cable box from my previous address, so I was required to pay for that before I could get service. Needing my job, I paid. I put in a ticket stating that I had paid and I have gone to the store multiple times and basically they had said that that was the case that they owed me the money back but I've never received it.
Jump forward several months, and the cable and Internet isn't working. I work the night shift 7 days in a row and have to sleep during the day. I spoke to a person on Saturday, who told me they would call back after investigating what might be able to be done as I'm not able to let someone into my apartment during the day. He apparently set up an appointment without telling me and never calling back.
Today I spoke with a woman who told me that in no uncertain terms they absolutely have to come into my apartment that if no one is here they won't even bother checking any of the outside connections and there's no way to even explain that to them or ask them to do it. Neither person was able to comprehend that I work the night shift and I actually sleep during the day - they continuously ask, "Will you know why can't you be there like we can make it early in the morning or later on in the afternoon." I also explain it for the next several weeks I would be traveling on my days off. I asked about canceling the service since they wouldn't be able to fix the issue or even try to, they noted that I would have to pay the early cancellation fee. I basically said, "You're going to charge me because you can't provide service to me" and the response was, "Yes sorry."

Day 1: Ordered phone through Xfinity mobile website, said shipping would take 2 days. Day 2: MY bank has flagged the payment as fraudulent activity (this should have been my first sign) so I approved the payment and called Xfinity for verification application (full SSN and credit questions) has now been accepted and have been told everything has been processed and is out for shipment - delivery in 2 days (on day 4).
Day 3: The last email I received was on day 3 stating "We are unable to ship your order." I call to ask for verification (cancelation if not shipped), considering I was told the order has already shipped and they state the order is no longer being processed, and it has not been shipped. If I would like to create another order to replace this order now is the time to do so. I denied reordering.
Day 4: Payment has been processed (even though I was told the order was no longer going to be processed) - have still not received any other Email, no "your order has been shipped/processed." "Your tracking number is..." No email but the "unable to ship your order" email. (At the least, they could have emailed my Xfinity account) All while the Xfinity mobile account shows no order history. So I call asking for an update and now refund... They state "Your order was shipped and should arrive today, but our systems have not updated us the information so we do not have a tracking number for you at this time." So now, I must refuse the package, wait while it is shipped back to them (3-5 days) and then another 3-5 days for a refund process...
They do not have their components together - Their service area looks great but their customer service and team seems like they are newborns who need their mommy to function in a team cooperative business. I highly recommend not wasting your time with this mobile side of Xfinity. Not to mention this business is not BBB accredited.

Comcast billed me $37.34 for services I never had. I set up service and canceled on the second day because it couldn't be installed and they said it would take 2 weeks before a tech could come out to service the address on a weekend. All the while, they wanted me to pay for the service. I canceled it right then and there. 2 months later I get a bill. So I give them a call, and was told by the first rep, whom I did not catch the name and he told me, that I still have to pay and I do not qualify under the 30 day guarantee. I then waited for the supervisor Joya (may not be the correct spelling, pronounced joy-uh). She was very arrogant and rude. Kept interrupting me while I was explaining the issue.
I then requested her manager. She began to tell me that he was not available. My reply "Not a problem, what is his name, I can wait, or better yet, send me to his voicemail, I'm happy to leave a message." At that point, she got a Lawrence to come to the floor who was the lead. Thankfully he went ahead and took care of that small balance that I should not have paid. Should not have taken so long. This is why I left and would never do business with Comcast ever. When I move, I always check to make sure there is someone other than Comcast now. Never again.

If I could give them half a star I would for their customer service. Do yourself a favor and don't get their service. Nowadays there are so many other service providers which don't require you to sign a contract and it's so much cheaper. The service is decent. I would give them a C. Internet speeds are great but everything else is terrible. I have been a customer since 2008 and I must have called them a dozen times for service issues. Honestly I didn't have a problem with calling for service. The problem is anytime there is an issue with a bill or if you try to change anything. They will keep passing you around to different departments and keep giving you the same answers. They don't care about you or your personal problems. They are reading from the same script. I am so done with them.
I am moving out of state for work and they don't offer service at my new address and they want to charge me over $200 termination fee. I only have 5 months left in my contract. They don't care that I have been a customer for over 10 years and I have never been late paying the bill. My monthly bill is $269. No loyalty. I called Comcast and told them my situation and I was very polite on the phone and I asked if there is anything they can do to waive the early termination fee and the lady on the phone kept saying there is nothing she can do and that I signed a contract and I will need to honor it. It's not my fault that they don't offer service where I am moving to. I begged and pleaded but the lady on the phone just didn't care.
I asked the lady if she can cancel my phone, home security or cable and she said if she did that I would have to sign a new contract with them which makes zero sense to me. Basically, I am screwed and I have no course of action. Makes me sad that this is what it has to come to. Don't expect any favors or loyalty from them. I swear to God they are one of the worst companies that I have ever dealt with. I wish I would have left them once my contract was over.

I just purchased a home and tried to move my services. I was informed at the beginning of May 2018 that Xfinity/Comcast was NOT offered in my new area. After being transferred 3 times I spoke with a representative that advised me to place my account in a vacation status until I completed my move and to call back the 25th of May to avoid the early termination fee. He assured me that I WOULD NOT be charged. That this is the best way to avoid early termination fees. I called on the 25th to do as I was instructed and was told at that time again (after being transferred another 3 times) that I would have to reinstate the service to cancel the service. The representative reassured me that she would annotate a credit of 150.00 on my account (the early termination fee charge) so that I would avoid paying the charge. I turned in my equipment to the nearest store the following day.
A week later I received my final bill and to my surprise I see an early termination fee of 130.00! When I called to get answers and for this situation to be rectified (transferred another 3 times) I am informed that THOSE notes did NOT exist! I then asked for the TAPED conversations to be reviewed and I was told that those were inaccessible! I was LIED to twice by your representatives! If I was told the TRUTH from the start that those charges would stand regardless then it wouldn't be a problem! I really wish that it was pointed out before I received the services that if I were to move to an area Xfinity/Comcast wasn't offered then I still would be held accountable for early termination fees; I DEFINITELY would have went with another COMPANY!

I tried to just swap a premium channel in my package, as usual they refuse to make a situation better by doing something so simple. I mention disconnecting and am informed that will cost me 250.00 because I am in a contract... Surprise! I am now locked into a contract I had no knowledge of. I never do contracts with any service. Been burned in the past. They tell me that when I hit the text to confirm the package and price that I was confirming that I was ok with being in a contract with them. What kind of deception is this, what company can just slide you into a contract with no contract being signed or the terms of said contract. This company has had so many complaints against it and continues to do as they please.

Called Comcast on May 30, 2018, 3 times and each time was told different prices. We were paying $230 per month for triple play and needed to save money. Christine priced us one quote we needed to talk or over. Then, I called back and another lady (didn’t get her name) answered but she couldn’t help us so she transferred us to Dana and she was not helpful at all. First she said she could get us to $194.75, I said I needed something better. She quoted us 20 basic channels and internet for $175.77. I was not happy 'cause saving us $40-$50 was not enough. I was done at this point!
I told her just to give us internet package and we’d get an antenna. She first said the medium package for more than $89. Then I said Christine said we could get the best internet at $89 + $11. She complied. So, now we are to pay $102 (we shall see) a month for internet. We hooked up the antenna and have over 20 channels. I’ll take saving $125 per month.
My friend who lives not more than 5 miles from me says she pays $140 with tax for triple play and gets the best internet and all the channels they offer. We were quoted $195 after already paying $230.. :’-( My uncle pays $89 plus tax for internet and basic TV (not HD) and they also get free HBO and On-demand. We were quoted $175 and wasn’t offered HBO or On-demand. :-/ How can Comcast get away with offering people different prices at whatever is what they want at the time? We’ve been as they said a “loyal customer” since 2009. Loyal customer? If we were then why? Why not treat us with respect and actually trying to assist us when we call? In my opinion it means they want to keep us as customers and try quoting prices that make sense. Pictures are where we talked to them and the stuff I was writing down.
