Is Xfinity home security good?

We like the security features that Xfinity offers, including the convenience of monitoring a property remotely through the app.

“I love the security I get from this security system. The fact that I can see who is on my property is a total win for me,” a reviewer in New Jersey said.

The equipment is often highly rated, but customers sometimes have complaints about technical issues, customer service and difficulty canceling services. Another downside is that you have to already be a Comcast customer, which somewhat limits availability. If you’re not, it’s worth it to look into your other options to see if you can find a better deal.

    I’ve been with them for more than 0 years but I’m DONE! I paid for cameras and suddenly they do an update and my cameras no longer sync so they expect me to buy new ones??? Their service is too expensive for all this crap plus continuous outages.

    This has to be the worst company I’ve ever dealt with. I requested to disconnect my service, and they charged me $630 just for the disconnection. I returned the equipment the same day I submitted the disconnection form, but I was told I still had to wait 30 days. And guess what? I did — and they charged me another $130 for service I didn’t even use, because they claimed the billing cycle continued, even though they had the equipment. In total, I ended up paying $794.85 just to stop using their service. Absolutely ridiculous. I deeply regret ever signing up with them. I don’t want to hear anything more about this company — ever. Stay far away! There are plenty of other providers out there who treat their customers better. Honestly, I hope this company goes downhill.

      They have been the worst company we have ever dealt with after MANY years of chances!! We had it installed just over 2 weeks ago. There have been problems ever since!! First tech came out and could barely speak English. He told us our equipment was good and that it was the main line. He said someone would come fix it. HOWEVER he did not do the ticket correctly!! Now I call back asking where they are to fix the main line?!! Well since he did it wrong now we have to stay home another day for a new tech to come out as only they can order line work. So now day 3 we miss work and displace half the family because they need Internet for their job!! The second guy comes out and he is supposed to order the line guy BUT HE DIDN'T!! Now they tell us we have to miss another day of work to stay home for a THIRD TECH to come out (oh and the second guy looked like he just smoked a joint!)!!

      Now we have to do this a third time all for someone to order line work!!! Beyond pissed!! Who is paying for all the missed work and displaced family?!! Don't use this company ever!!! Who knows if the 3Rd guy is a idiot or not?! And why can't they just contact the tech that came out instead of messing with our lives?!! I HATE THEM!!

      As a whole we like our Xfinity Home package... but its monitoring service is way too expensive... The equipment works well for the most part. We had to move one camera for at night it picked up the reflection of the blinds in a window... (I've yet to see if it has IR capabilities) It got moved out back and we just installed a front doorbell camera.

      Some say you can run it on existing wiring and chime box. Yes, and no. Instructions say if you have a 2 wire system of which ours is and is as old as dirt... we hooked it up and got all kinds of feedback and buzzing. I rechecked voltage at both ends and got 19 at the doorbell and nothing at the chine terminals #1 and #3 where the wires were connected to. I disconnected the doorbell to not damage it... and went back at it the next morning.

      There's a third #2 terminal screw that was left open. No wire. I got out the voltage tester and had my wife jump the doorbell circuit and it showed 19 volts between the center #2 and #3 or right terminals (I didn't test it on the #1 terminal). So.... could it be the center #2 terminal is a neutral connection? As it turned out, it is. The wires originally connected to two bells and grounded via the old doorbell. After reconnecting the doorbell, the chime box that came with it; the #2 and #3 terminals and testing it all; it works wonderfully. The video on it and the now back camera is also very very good once the Wi-Fi is up and going. The hardest part was working over an upper cabinet, thru a 4x6" hole in the wall, with no to little light, big hands, and low vision. Thankfully the phone's camera came in handy to help 'see' what I was doing. After all of that, now our dogs really have something to bark about as our phones ring too!

      I moved into my new home and got Xfinity home. Instead of a great service what I got was a provider that sent people who had terrible customer service. He was extremely rude. Even placed keypad where I didn't want it. Refused to place pad where the previous owner security tablet was. After that I kept having warnings and also beeping persistent. I called to the service they barely were able to fix it. My request was then escalated and Jason handled my escalation on May 25th to help me get all issues fixed with my lock and also with the continual beeping.. He said all issues would be resolved and apologized. He sent a tech over that week. And unfortunately it was the same person who half checked anything and left.

      It was not fixed and I contacted Jason with the XH NETS Tier 3 Escalations/Technical Support team on May 30th to the same email Jason contacted me (this is a general email that all escalation team can see) and no one got to me. The beeping persisted. My other issue was there was a rain storm and the cameras went down which means my security system WAS NOT SAFE. I was not safe. And further showed me that Xfinity was not capable with their service and their equipment was faulty. No one still followed up with my complaint May 30 and I was over it.

      June 8 I contacted via phone again regarding issues and wanting to discontinue and that I wouldn't be charged because I would be keeping the internet. I was told that I could and would not be charged. So I decided and I changed to another provider because I nor the equipment in my home is safe with xfinity's service. June 13 I called back to confirm cancellation and was told I had to pay $500. I am trying to understand why this is not being waved. My issues literally started end of month and WERE NOT RESOLVED. This is the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I actually want to remove my internet and if I can figure out the best option I will also do that. Do not use their service. They do not stand by their product.

      1. Xfinity will quote you one price and charge you something completely different.
      2. Customer service is nonexistent! If they do not want to talk about incorrect billing they'll simply disconnect you or transfer you in an endless loop.
      3. It is extremely difficult to understand the representatives due to English being their second language.
      4. Very very pushy sales reps.
      5. If you try to cancel your service it can take hours - literally hours of haggling.
      6. Lied about crediting account for bogus charges.

      7. I wouldn't recommend Xfinity to Satan.

      Comcast's tech team are rude and pushy. Yesterday one of their techs came to our home and said they needed to get to the pole in our back yard. First of all, the pole is NOT in our back yard, but we let them use our yard to get to it. They were alerted that we had not picked up after our dogs for a couple days and to please watch out for it. Well, they did the exact opposite, they stepped in it and dragged it all over our back patio and all down our driveway.

      The tech was really rude and didn't clean up after himself. Then he came back with more techs later and said they needed back in our yard again. I told them no because he made a huge mess and didn't clean up after himself, that they could not use my backyard. He was very pushy and insisted he had to use our yard. The house behind us has plenty of room and access to the stupid pole!!!! Comcast is trash and their techs are even worse!!!! The next time they show up, I will be calling the police to remove them from my property!!!!

      I called to cancel my deceased father's account. I got transferred around, but eventually got someone to handle the termination of services and the final bill. The rep tried to sell me Xfinity services and read from a script of the benefits. She knew exactly why I was calling and I interrupted her and said, look, your customer is dead and you are trying to sell services to a grieving family member, have you no shame? She explained that she was doing her job the way the company requires of her. When someone calls to cancel, they have a process of trying to convince them otherwise and that also extends to families of deceased customers that call to cancel accounts. This is appalling behavior and Xfinity needs to review its script for handling such matters.

      My experience was the worst customer service I have ever dealt with when trying to resolve a billing issue with any company. I was lied to by 5 different representatives when told that my concern had been resolved when in fact it had not been. I was assured there were 2 different escalation tickets created, and then closed within 01 - 15 minutes, without any resolution to my issue.

      I have spoken to 20+ agents to do via both chat and phone and my issue is still not resolved. Let’s start with the automated system. I spent 10 minutes trying to get to a live agent because the automated system only wanted to restart my modem, send me links, and text messages. Every time I called I was told by the automated system that my modem was offline which is not true since I’m currently connected to my home internet. Once I finally got to a live person on the phone then became the true nightmare. I was then transferred to billing then to the cable dept. (which I don’t have) then to advanced repair for home security, and so on.

      My issue is that I recently transferred my internet service and home security (2 cams and doorbell) to another address. I was paying for my security equipment in monthly installments over a 24 month period. Once my service was transferred the installment contract was terminated and I was billed for the remaining number of installments on my bill which I wasn’t advised of. I was told by one agent that there was this program that I can be placed on so that I can pay for the equipment charges over time. I was then transferred to an agent who said that she couldn’t process it on my account because my service is in the central area. She then transferred me to an agent who was rude and claimed to be Tier 3 and stated he had no knowledge of the program I was speaking of. I would like my bill to be adjusted and the $315 equipment charge removed and put back on installment. I would also like the calls and chats be reviewed because there is a serious lack of training for agents in this company.
