Unfortunately, the internet speeds seems to fluctuate. I do a speed test and it usually 30% slower than stated speed. After calling Customer Service, Comcast Internet Service looks at it and do test on the modem and assure me it will not happen again. However it occurs about two weeks later and process starts all over again.

Comcast is way too expensive. They don't tell customers that they could save $9.95 a month by buying a cable modem for less then $100 online. A must have as I'm too far out of town to get decent DSL speeds.

I was unimpressed. Had an internet-only Blast! package at a slightly discounted price for one year. Cancelled today as I am moving. The router hardware that I "leased" from them was subpar. Not only did we not get the download speeds we were promised, but service would cut in and out at random times, and we were promised WiFi support for 8-10 devices but our devices would be getting kicked off with only one person connected. While their app offers interesting capabilities and data, it is rather clumsy and slow, as is their website.
When I tried to cancel it took me an inordinately long time to even find out how to cancel; it's like they thought that if I couldn't find a cancellation option then I wouldn't cancel. That was irritating and unhelpful. The customer service agent I chatted with either had poor typing skills or a poor grasp of English, and I ended up with a surprise bill at the end. All-in-all this service will do the basic job, but don't expect more than that.

I've used other internet services, including AT&T, but the Comcast/Xfinity has been my internet provider now for several years, including at my new home. I really like the speed of the service, and reliability. If there are issues with the modem or any other piece of equipment there are local Comcast stores that you can go in and exchange the equipment, not like AT&T where you have to wait for it to be shipped.

Comcast is extremely high and there's not competing out there to go up against him. The shows seen on Comcast are so old like Coming to America. They still showing. They get you with the package deal thing because if you upgrade to a Disney Channel you being charged for a different package where you force into a new two year contract. Which is another robbery. Then there the incentive 200.00 if you sign on to triple play deal. But what they don't tell you till it's time to get it you can't get it until after 6 months of payments. It's not a free gift card because after 6 months you paid for it.

If you need customer service it's better to go into store and meet with them directly. They are great. If you call whomever you get is usually rude and doesn't know what they are doing. Reliability is good. Only a few issues due to storm but took the boxes back to store and they replaced them in a matter of minutes.

Xfinity scheduled an installation five times at my address when I moved. Four of the five times the tech never showed. The fifth time they refused me service due to my disability. That being I am physically unable to speak by phone and relying on text to communicate. The tech refused to communicate this way and denied me service. When I complained to management they shrugged their shoulders. Their advertising may indicate they are customer responsive but they most certainly are lacking in this area. This company does not recognize the needs of the disabled.

Xfinity used to be Comcast. They might as well have been called con cast. They used to lie a lot. Then they got better. I've had their service for 5 years now, and it's only been extremely bad since I reduced my services with them since I had more important things come up that cost money. When I had the inside line maintenance plan, which I paid for, they never sent anyone out for the problems I was having. All the problems were outside ones. Once I changed my service plan, the maintenance plan was removed and I wasn't told about it until 2 months later. I started having more and more issues. Internet service-mail servers down constantly making it hard for me to check my mail. Slow internet when told they were speeding it up. Unknown devices logging in to my account. Someone trying to hack my account. All this, as every month my bill gets higher and higher. I still pay the way I used to, and they never charged me a late fee.
Since I reduced my services, they've charged me for 2 tech visits and I will not let them send anyone else out. The first tech visit was to work on the new modem I was told by phone tech support to order because my modem, from Comcast, was a glitchy model. So I get the new one and it's the same issue. Freezing screen, getting kicked offline, email servers at Comcast down... Tech comes out and puts a new line in, then says my DVR is going to be the next to go, and as he said that, he conveniently dropped his meter onto the drop of my DVR. So, the DVR dies and also my tv goes off. He had to work on the DVR a bit to get it to work again. My tv was fine after awhile. I got charged 60 for this visit. I called and complained about it. They said they'd do me a favor and credit me for the visit. In other words, even though they charged me, they said they'd remove the charge.
So, a couple weeks later, I start having trouble with the DVR. I call in and they send a tech out with a new DVR. I get billed 60 for that too. I told them I needed a new DVR because of the damage the previous tech did. I didn't think I'd be billed for something that had been caused by one of their employees, but I was billed. I've spoken with them repeatedly and complained to them repeatedly. I'm getting nowhere with them. When I was paying a lot of money, they were more than willing to give me credits toward my bill. And they were actually able to help. Now... I keep getting told there's nothing they can do to help me. I've had disappearing emails and was connected to their security people that help with that specifically, and still got told, nothing we can do to help. Customer service lies through their teeth left and right.
Once again, it's one thing from one of them, and the opposite from another one. They keep saying they'll have a supervisor call me and they never do. The only people that truly seem to want to help, are the ones in other countries. They offer a credit here and there, but the reps here don't even acknowledge it. Maybe, just maybe, there is no interoffice communication between the foreign country call centers and the US based ones. I'm not sure. What I am sure of though, is not too long ago, people were complaining about Comcast and I told them they were better than they used to be. I should've never said anything nice about them. Because it wasn't long after that, that they did a total shift in the way they treated me. Not to mention all the problems I started having. In fact, during all this mess, I started having virus and malware issues that I've never had. Never had viruses or malware.
All of a sudden, I start getting things that were problems for people back in 2012-2014. I call Norton and they tell me that there is nothing they can do about the problems because it's part of Microsoft's system. Norton connects me to Microsoft and it just goes south from there. I will never call Norton again. And I definitely will never ever do a live chat with Microsoft. I'M starting to think that it's all a setup. Comcast lines us up and Norton or Microsoft knocks us down. With Comcast, you get Norton for free. Maybe that's the problem. If ya don't pay Comcast enough money, you're going to get really bad service. From them and everyone else their company uses. I told them I was going to do this and also file a complaint with the BBB. I've absolutely had it with this company. If I could use a different one, I would in a heartbeat.
The building I live in has a contract with them unfortunately. Comcast does not deserve to have a contract with an entire building of over 200 residents. We don't deserve to be stuck with their horrible service and all of their lying, overcharging, rigging and not repairing... Not to mention, the techs give you their names and numbers and when you call them, you find out they've given you false information! I'd rather be homeless and living on the streets than have to pay for Comcast's service. At least then, I could afford a cell phone. And I will never get one through Comcast. They will get no extra money from me. In fact, it's just a matter of time before one, or both of us, cut my service off.

They generally do a good job overall; however, telephone response to problems leaves a little to be desired. It usually does not fix the problem and a repair person is necessary. I think their prices are high and seem to go up every year. Although they will sometimes give a reductions after much discussion. Perhaps they may give consideration for long service customers. Their service repairmen usually are on time and take care of the problem in relatively short order. They take the time to answer all of your questions.

I have had several issues with Comcast over the years but this last one is almost unbelievable. I called to have unlimited data added to my package and was told absolutely nothing would change and that it would be an additional $25 a month to what I was currently paying. After receiving the text message to confirm that my unlimited data was being added I asked the representative please send me something so I would know that my package would not be changing and would remain the same amount. I was told “everything is staying the same including the monthly amount and that the only thing adding to my plan was unlimited data which would be an additional $25 a month.“
I believed what the Comcast representative told me therefore I signed off on it. The following morning I received an email with the information on voice calling. Considering I had not signed up for any changes to my current plan which did not include voice calling I immediately called a Comcast representative. After being on hold for quite some time the representative finally explained to me that I had signed off on it and that it did not matter what the representative told me I was locked into a concrete new contract for 24 months with the price increase per month.
After remaining on hold for an hour and a half while they did some investigation I finally requested that a manager return my call. Needless to say her name was Stephanie and she was very rude very loud filled with sarcasm and did not listen to anything I had to say but rather talk over me. I still was unable to get verification of what was on my account now other than the fact that there was a price increase and that I was locked into it for 24 months. One more reason why Comcast should not be in business and should not be allowed to get away with these fraud tactics.

Very very challenging company to speak with 'real' employees. Their price policy is 'price gouging at the extreme' for the product they deliver. When the materials/equipment they provide 'wear out' i.e. remote controller, power supply, converter box, modem, they imply it did not simply 'wear out,' but rather the customer abused it or overused it and give a nasty argument about a replacement. Where I live, Comcast almost have a complete monopoly!

I was told by Comcast that the cable box is defective and to return it to one of their stores and they will replace it or I could pay $15 for them to mail it to me.

We've had Comcast for many years, primarily because they are the only remotely decent service in our area. And we live in a city, not a remote location. However, through countless modem and cable box updates and revisions, signal checks on the line, technician visits, etc. I have NEVER gotten a speed test from any website, router, or even from Comcast itself that showed me that I was getting anywhere near the speed I was paying for. When I paid for 50 Mb, I was getting 10. When I paid for 100, I was getting 20 or 30. Now, my plan supposedly gives me 150. And I've never seen anything higher than 30.
Part II of the problem is that every time I speak with someone on the phone or in person at the store, I have to start over. They insist on running through a lengthy checklist of laborious and time-consuming diagnostics each and every time, all of which show nothing useful. So, the problem is never resolved. I complain again. I write letters. I escalate to managers who make promises. Periodically they refund some or all of a month's service. In fact, they offer up the refund sooo quickly... Well, it feels like they do it a lot, and obviously make so much money that it doesn't bother them to do it multiple times rather than address the problem.
Part III of the problem is that their customer service people on the phone or in person are NOT technical people. They easily trip over their own bad diagnostic logic and waste hours of my time. And if you express any level of dissatisfaction about the process, their first response is to threaten a hang up. (Just my opinion, but it seems like the first response to an angry customer should be to call in a manager.) I'm willing to accept the possibility that I got a bad egg. But that's not fixing anything. A few years ago I discussed switching to another area provider, only to get an ear-full from friends, family and co-workers that pretty much everyone does the same thing. They all wanted to switch also, but didn't feel like any options were an improvement. I suspect that if Comcast answered the phone with humans instead of robots that verify you for 10 minutes, the cost of those wages would motivate them to resolve issue more quickly.
As it is, I haven't met anyone who doesn't just assume Comcast cheats everyone uniformly as a matter of internal policy. They jack up your bill if you let the contract lapse. They throttle your download speed. And don't even get me started on the cable TV. What I'm describing here is the perception of this service provider, and it doesn't bother them. Complaints are rampant, but they are not held accountable by anyone. They ignore the complaints. My measly little $2400 a year I give to them means nothing to them and they treat me like that. What happened to courtesy? Pride in your work? The customer is king? We're addicts. I get it. And Comcast isn't a waiter in a nice restaurant. They're a drug dealer in a back alley. And they want you to believe you're in no position to make demands.
Consider this: If you BUNDLE everything together... cable, Internet, phone, security... you're trapped. Or, you will believe you are. Here's a suggestion for how to wean yourself off of that. You assembled it in pieces... take it apart in pieces. Cancel and replace one service at a time. There ARE other providers, that aren't as good. But if you're going to get crud service, you might as well pay less for it. If you're thinking about getting Comcast for anything, think about writing your representatives instead. Ask for regulation, consumer protections, oversight. Maybe nothing will happen, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I now have the internet only with the highest speed for purposes of streaming programs, reducing my bill to about $70.00 a month.

Here is the short version. If you get a call from Comcast and you currently only have Internet and don't want another convoluted bill, then just say no. And if you do decide to go with the pure internet Xfinity plan, the Xfinity stream app does NOT work on any other device other than Roku. The one box we did not have. I also clarified I wanted to use it on our Apple TV which I was told we could. So after ordering that, we still did not get the one channel I was making sure we had. Bravo. And today another fun bill just like I used to get with the boxes in the house. A bunch of nonsense and convoluted overages. Also they added extra billing options I did not order. That's it...more wasted time to a company that has continued that trend since the day I started with them.

Comcast deserves EVERY bad article ever written about its customer service. The sad thing is that they do not seem to care enough to change it. We have been forced to use them in our area but are moving now. I called to let them know when we would discontinue service and the EXACT date for the service to be shut off. In true Comcast fashion, they shut it off 2 weeks early. I called Customer Service and he confirmed that they did in fact shut it off too early but I have been on hold for over 30 minutes waiting for someone to come on the line to set our account up again. These people are simply the worst and they aren’t even trying to get better!

Words cannot express how horrible the company and their support are. It took me talking to 4 people to finally get someone who could actually help me. I work from home and rely on internet for my job, and the first person literally spend the whole time trying to upsell me services rather than trying to help me fix my internet which wasn't working, and then when I didn't accept his offers HE LITERALLY LEFT THE CHAT. By the time I got to the third person they were convinced it wasn't their fault and it was my modem’s fault, and said that was the end of the story. Well, $100 and a new awesome modem later, it turns out it wasn't the problem after all.
The fourth person I contacted after all of this somehow was able to pinpoint the problem within a minute. How did it take going through 4 people, one of which forced me to spend money on a new modem, to get to the real issue? I then provided feedback about the experience through their website and the response I got didn't even acknowledge that they had done anything wrong, was basically just "I see you're upset with the situation, that’s not how we want Comcast to be perceived." LOL this company is an absolute joke, and I can't wait to have a different option for internet besides them. I don't care if it costs 10x as much, I'll make it rain on the new company and throw a party to celebrate.

I got a self-service box to install Xfinity service at our new home. The prior owners just had service two months before so this shouldn’t have been an issue. I needed troubleshooting help and called in 3x for a total time spent exceeding 3 hours. They offered NO HELP! Not only did they read off their script, repeating the same lines over and over but the agents immediately starting pushing for me to schedule a technician to come out to the house. Surprise, surprise! A $60 charge just for the visit. I finally broke down and scheduled it. The tech confirmed that he did NOT need to come out as simple walkthrough assistance should have asked if I had a booster and, if so, pointed me to the box to activate the port. He understood my frustration but there wasn’t anything he could do to offset the cost.
I reviewed my service as poor and just got a call from the “customer service team” to discuss what could be done to improve my experience. After a quick run thru of what occurred the agent said “thanks so much for this feedback. Have a great day!” No offer of a discount, adjusting the account for the days that we were without service, waiving some fees, nada!! Way to show you’re interested in improving your service!!

I am having the XFinity Triple Play: Internet 5, basic cable and voice. I have selected a basic cable plan in order to lower the monthly subscription. Even then the monthly bill comes out to be quite high, around $110. I tried online to change the plan but I was not allowed to do so. The Comcast online website only allows to upgrade the services.
While calling the Comcast customer service to help me lower my monthly bill, I have asked them to get me the Internet only plan and to remove the existing Voice and basic cable services. First of all, the customer service was not helpful at all and told me that even with the Internet only plan, my monthly bill would be the same. When I asked them about the Internet only plan advertised online, their response was that it's for a new customer only. Second of all, the advertised plans are not giving the actual figures, the total bill is inflated by about 40% or more, shown as hidden figures under the titles: Broadcast TV fee, Reg. Sport Fee, Univ, Connect fee, equip rental, blast, etc... Finally, I have found the Comcast customer service not at all helpful when you ask for lowering the bill and just confuses you further by repeating the same thing again and again and going in circle!

My roommate was the primary account holder while I've been in charge of billing and every service. We just have his name as the primary for the stupid 1 year promotional deal since our original bill doubled after the year was over. I've paid for Comcast since the creation of this account. My roommate has since moved out of state while I stayed and continued to pay. I've since moved out and so they refunded me the additional amount they took out due to auto pay. They've mailed me a check to his name. I've called to fix this issue and they said they couldn't do anything about it; not even recredit the credit card it came from (which was mine).
The agent I talked to said if he authorizes me as an account user, they can fix it. I called back with him on the line to another agent for him to add me as an authorized user but this person said that didn't change anything. Refund can only be sent to someone other than the primary account user only if they are deceased or no longer using the service (WHICH HE IS NOT) yet they still said there's nothing they can do. Basically, they had no problem taking my money for a year yet they refused to refund it to me after I canceled the service. Unreal. This is by far the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of working with. Service is spotty, their call center are always seemingly helpless, and their technicians are rude slackers that chill out in their van in front of your house until they decide to report that they're done with the job. Unfortunately, this is the only service provider in my area so there's nothing else I can do but vent here.

I work from home. I have had countless experiences where my internet went out for a day, but never three days straight. On March 30 at 7:45am when I tried to work, I couldn't access the internet. Called Comcast, they sent a signal and tried saying I needed a new modem and should sign up for their service protection plan in case I incur charges due to it being a problem on my end should they have to come out. I assured them that nothing had happened on my end as I lock up my office every day after I am done and that up until their "outage" my modem router worked fine. I called again after talking my job's IT department who insisted the problem was due to my internet service provider. Finally, a rep told me that they had an outage and it should be resolved within a couple of hours and offered to text me when it was restored.
Hours later, I received a text. I tried logging on, no access still. I called back and the rep said that the outage was still going on and that it was impacting over 300,000 in our area due to something going on in Troutdale. Then he assured me that it would be addressed by 6pm. 6pm came and went, with no internet service. I thought perhaps it was due to needing my modem router being outdated or affected by the outage.
Next day, I called again, as I was trying to make up my missed hours for work. Still, no internet service and told that there was still an outage going on but that it would be addressed later that afternoon and that they could call me when it was fixed. I received the automated call and when I returned home, I still couldn't access the internet... I called Comcast yet again and I explained that I worked from home, didn't have time to play around and asked if they could schedule an appointment since I was still having issues after the outage was restored.
So we set up an appointment for Easter, 04/01/18 for 2 to 4pm despite it being a holiday because after all, I must work. I left my family to meet Comcast at my house from 2 to 4 and despite the notification that we had an appointment scheduled, no one from Comcast ever showed up. I called yet again and the lady told me that I never had an appointment. I said, "Gee, that's funny. How did I get this confirmation of my scheduled appointment?" Then she changed her story. "Oh, we cancelled it because there was still an outage so there was no point in coming with an outage." I said, "Well, you didn't cancel it with me. Is that how Comcast does business?" She apologized and said "I understand your frustration." I said, "I don't believe you do.
I work from home. This is impacting my ability to work and earn a living. And then on top of that, you accuse me basically of lying about an appointment, then you say it was cancelled, and then I waste time on Easter to make sure I am home for this appointment and no one ever calls to cancel it with me and no one bothers to show." Then she schedules another appointment, with the next appointment available on April 5th from 10 to 12pm. Oh how great. Now I can go almost a whole week with no way to work.
Furthermore, when I call to ask for a letter from them to provide to my employer, they flat out refused. And again, try to sell me on a Comcast Business Account. No thanks!!! If my green money isn't valuable to Comcast as a Comcast Residential Account, why would I want to pay more money to Comcast? I wouldn't recommend anyone use Comcast for their needs. The only thing worth noting is that they paid $20 for the no-call no show, only after I told them that they would reimburse me for my wasted time. Sorry to see that they don't offer this to all of their customers, after reading the previous review from another Comcast customer. I guess they pick and choose who they will show decent human respect to and it's obviously not the residential accounts.

Comcast sucks eggs on Easter. We signed up for the 150Mbps service and it's great, when it works. Our service is normal for a couple of hours a day, then it drops down to 8-15Mbps. So slow that almost everything times out. I called many times, and it seems that whatever switching they do at their end sometimes works. For a short while. Eventually they recommend I replace my modem, so I did. No difference. Constant bouncing from 8Mbps to 150. So when I called again on Friday, they said that a technician would come to my house to check everything on Easter Sunday 5-7 PM. I hated to cancel our plans, but we needed to get our service back ASAP, as my wife and I both need it for work. I got about a dozen phone calls and text messages for 2 days reminding me of the appointment. Then on Sunday, they called me at 6:30 to tell me the technician might be a little late. OK, better late than never.
Then they called again at 7, to let me know he will be here around 8. OK, I already wasted the day, but really need it fixed since it still at 8Mbps all day. At 8:30 PM, I called in to Comcast and they said the tech was still working his previous appointment and could we reschedule since he is already over his 12 hours for the day. We were very upset by that statement. How many days do we have to waste because Comcast cannot properly schedule their techs? And the kicker was an offer of $20 for the tech being late. $20 for waiting three and a half hours on Easter for nothing. We asked for a supervisor, and he stated we don't have to pay for service we don't get. Great! How about refunding the money I paid for the last 2 months. "No," he said, "We only have a record of you calling in once last month and once more 3 months ago."
My phone shows multiple calls last month, and the month before. He is adamant that any call I made in would be in their records. In essence, he is calling me and my phone liars. He will not refund any money, because they have no record of all the calls I made. So we will have to waste another day and hope a tech shows up. And hope he fixes the problem. And hope that Comcast will somehow record the calls I make to complain. In the meantime, I'll be using my phone as a hotspot. At least the cell service is reliable!

I am writing about a situation my husband has had with Comcast. He had a local business and we had sold the building. He had called Comcast to change the service address since his assistant would be home based for a limited time, but we would be paying for the service, they did not tell him that would constitute a "resign" for more terms of service. When my husband finally did retire and sold to his partner he moved his number over to his partner so there would be no interruption in service for their clients and canceled his phone and internet service.
Comcast sent us a bill for discontinuing our service early. To the tune of over $700.00 dollars. My husband has extensively called and tried talking to them to no avail. The clincher is that the number is still in use so Comcast still has the business as my husband gave the partner the business number. BUT because his business partner had already signed her new contract we couldn't pass our contract (which we had never agreed upon extending) over to her. We are hard working people, we have always paid our bills. Now they have sent us to collections. The first time in 69 years of life my husband has ever had a smudge against his financial character. This is simply GREED on their part. Please share this with everyone you know, I am not stopping.

Usually, I don't write reviews, but this case crossed all boundaries. In a nutshell, it's hard to believe that a huge company like Xfinity could act this way. I used Xfinity internet services and paid $80/month at the same time when a friend of mine living in the same building using the same services with the same speed paid $60. The service I am talking about is the Internet package to 200/mbps with BlastPro package and no annual contract. But the story not about this. Once I checked my bank account and saw that Xfinity charged me $104 per month. I contacted support, and they said, “Oh you know, you use our services more than 12 months, and the offer was active for 12 months that's why we charge you more now.” Without any notice, without my permission!
I said, "If the offer expired, disconnect me from the service, but who gave you the right to charge me more without my permission." I asked for the reimburse of the overpaid amount. After, the operator said, “Don't worry. I have an excellent offer for you, the same service with the same conditions but for $40/month.” I clarified several times about the speed and contract length and other terms, etc., because the offer was suspiciously good. They sent me a contract with the price $40, I signed. After a month I paid $40 for the service, but on the second month, I saw a bill almost $80/month. I contacted support again, and they said I am a liar, and they couldn't offer me the terms I described. I asked, "Why I had a bill $40 for the first month?" "That's because we gave you credit for $20!!!" That's it. This is how Xfinity ** me for the 1st time, but we agreed on the price $60/month.
After a month, when I made regular monthly payment, the next day they disconnected me from the internet. I contacted them, they said, “Sorry, something went wrong, don't worry I will restart the service for you.” The internet was restarted, and after several days I receive an email, "Please sign an agreement," and the agreement with entirely different terms I had before they disconnected me. The internet speed changed from 200 to 60mbps and with minimum 12 months contract. And this is how Xfinity is trying to ** me for the second time. Now I am chatting again with their support, spending my time and now I save copies of all the conversations, I have with them and recommend you to do the same if you deal with Xfinity. Good luck you Xfinity if this is a way you do your business.

I finally got in contact with Corporate who reimbursed me $60, which accounts for the monthly difference in plans for a period of 1 year. The woman who took my call was very personable and understanding. She said they'd review my file and come to a decision Monday (the call took place Friday). However, I was contacted by them 15 minutes later. They found all of the information and said they'd reimburse. Upon viewing my next bill, I verified that $60 was deducted.
First, I will say that Corporate was professional, understanding, and expedient in resolving my issue. However, this culture must be passed on to the Customer Support department. I should not have had to call in on 5 different occasions to receive conflicting information with no record of my original correspondence nor any accurate records of what took place on any of the subsequent calls. Customer Service is poor when it comes to accurate and effective documentation and it caused me to waste a lot of time in trying to get this resolved. In hindsight, I probably should have asked for more than the $60, ($100 would have sufficed for me), to account for the time that was wasted, but only requesting $60 is on me.
So final word to Comcast is that Corporate was stellar in it's response and proved they hold a customer-first culture, but this culture must be passed on to the Customer Service department so that they can more accurately and expediently handle customer issues.

Moving into a new place and wanting to get internet service, I searched the area and noted Comcast was the most prevalent in my area. So I contacted them and was told by a representative named Steve about a deal for $59.99 that included TV with HBO and Blast Internet Service with free installation. Excited about the deal, I agreed. However, the email sent to me stated $64.99. Steve reassured me that I would be getting the $59.99 deal and that my account would be adjusted accordingly. So the installation technician comes out and, as he's performing the installation, I ask him about the deal and he confirms the information he has is for the $59.99 deal. However, when I get my first bill, it is for $64.99 and I was charged an installation fee of $59.99.
First, I contact Comcast via Online Chat. The rep states that there is no deal for $59.99 and he has no documentation of my conversations with Steve, the original rep. Nonetheless, he said he will resolve the situation. Shortly after, I get an email stating I'll receive a credit on my account for the installation fee, but no word on fixing my bundle price. So I contact Comcast again. The rep tells me a supervisor said the deal I was referring to had expired. I exclaim that this was the deal I was offered and that I accepted. After being placed on hold she then says she did find the information regarding my deal and confirms not only that I'd be receiving the credit for the installation charge, but that $5 would also be correct for being provided the incorrect bundle.
However, upon receiving my bill, I was being charged the same price of $64.99 and there was no deduction for the $5 difference in bundle price. They did credit me for the installation charge. So I call again, but am told the deal I am referring to had expired. I again explain my situation. Nothing gets resolved. I call again and speak to a rep named Dave. While he was very sympathetic and understanding, he exclaims I had agreed via email to the $64.99 deal. I acknowledge this but exclaim I was told by the rep I would be getting the $59.99 deal and that he would have it adjusted.
He then says, after lengthy conversation stating his understanding of how I feel I was misled by Comcast, he is going to elevate the issue two supervisory levels (that is to his supervisor and his supervisor's boss), and he confirmed a date and time when I would be contacted regarding possible resolution, AND went over word-for-word the email he was going to send. Also note that he found NO evidence of my initial conversations with Steve, the original rep who offered me the deal although he knew who he was and which office he worked out of, nor any evidence in my conversation with the second rep who confirmed the information and said I would also get the $5 deduction. However, when that time came and passed with no call, I immediately called Comcast again.
When I exclaimed to the rep I was supposed to be contacted by Comcast, he was bewildered and said Comcast does not set appointments to contact customers, and he said there was no evidence or record of Dave, the last rep stating he would elevate the matter two levels and have Comcast get back to me on a resolution. At this point I myself am bewildered not to mention livid. The rep then exclaims that I agreed via email to the $64.99 deal and that the $59.99 deal never existed. After going back and forth, I ask if he could have it elevated to see if they could even just pay me $60 ($5 x 12 months) so I at least get one year's compensation. He said Comcast does not do that especially given I agreed via email to the $64.99 contract. He said I could apply for a different deal and a different price. After I told him I don't even watch TV and would prefer internet only, he still tried to offer me deals with elevated TV service at a higher price.
While our overall discussion was good and civil, I told him that because Comcast would not be able to resolve the situation, I would have to consider canceling my service. I have to say I don't think I have ever come across a company with such piss-poor documentation on call correspondence. What I am also upset about is all the time I spent trying to resolve the situation. While I acknowledge that, in hindsight, I should never have agreed to the other deal via email, I was under the impression from the original rep that he would make the adjustment as he promised (plus I was anxious to get internet service and wanted to push the process along) and I trusted his word as well as Comcast as a company to make right. Finally, while I realize it's $5 a month I was fighting over, this still adds up over time and, I joined because of the $59.99 deal and that is the deal I expected to receive.
Unfortunately Comcast is one of very few TV and internet providers in my area. Nonetheless, my experience, has encouraged me to shop around and perhaps even consider Verizon DSL because, at the end of the day, I do not want to give my business to a company that misleads me, that doesn't have an effective documentation process, and that is unwilling to right a wrong and accommodate a dissatisfied customer.

Have submitted a terminal trace to Comcast Level 2 security and nothing. So I can't access email or the sites. WORST CABLE COMPANY EVER. I have Frontier Internet scheduled next week to install as I don't know what else to do except ditch Comcast.

Had my appointment for today to have my router installed and someone showed up right on time... great!!! The first thing he said was that he was a technician and not an installer... then he said he was going to do it. Then he said he needs to speak to his boss... then he said that his supervisor will send someone else within 45 minutes. I waited for 75 minutes and no one showed up... then I called their customer service and was told that THE INSTALLER HAD REPORTED THAT MY HOUSE WAS MISSING SIDING!!??? I could not believe what I was hearing. Little liar. Abusive and time waster, little irresponsible, incompetent. Will have to wait until tomorrow for another appointment.

So I had just bought Comcast 2 days ago. And not even 1 day in and they had started to throttle my internet meaning I do not get the amount of upload and download speeds that I pay for. They do this at certain times of the day. Plus they had told us that the most we should be getting is 50 down and 10 up. We barely get 5 up and 25 down. All I'm saying is anyone looking for a good, trustworthy internet provider then Comcast is not for you. They are deceiving and they are also a bunch of rip-offs. Please second guess when you think about Comcast as your provider.

I've been calling Xfinity since I moved to my new apartment, my first call was Feb 27th 2018. I work from home, so when I moved my internet was very important for that specific reason, prior to moving I called Xfinity to let them know and I was told by an agent that all I needed to do was plug in my router and I should be good to go and they would transfer my services when I was actively in the home. When I moved I called Xfinity and let them know, they transferred my services but my internet still wasn't online. I called back and got another agent that stated that my modem wasn't online, she then asked did I have a coax cord plugged into my router. I then explained to the women that the last agent I spoke with didn't tell me I needed one and I asked her multiple times did I need to bring the coax cord from my home and was it needed.
After I got past that, I learned that I needed an adapter plate for the coax cord to go into but my apartment didn't supply one, a technical support agent had me on the phone for about 45 minutes trying to send signals to a router that wasn't even online, she then told me she would send an electrician but after 40 minutes of being on the phone and her procrastinating about getting me a signal or a technician if the signal didn't go through the phone hung up. I then called back got another agent he stated, "Hey, you don't need a wall plate to plug the adapter in, all you have to do is get the coax cord from our service center, plug one end into the router and the other end into a television with a splitter", I went out purchased a splitter and a television because I didn't have one yet, tried hooking it up but I didn't understand.
I then called back and got another agent who stated, "Okay you cannot do that without having the coax cord from the lines outside and without you receiving a cable connection", at this point I was frustrated because I've been getting the runaround, no one offered a technician just terrible advice. After I got frustrated, I asked for a supervisor. I explained to the supervisor that I needed a technician because different agents are telling me different things and it's pissing me off, I explained that I didn't have an adapter plate for the coax cord, it's impossible for me to locate it outside and because the last agent told me she will get me a technician and hung up which was 5 days ago they needed to get one out soon to me because one was never sent as possible, they tried to give me far dates so the supervisor stated that he would get me over to a tech agent because they would be able to get one sooner.
I spoke with the tech agent who then stated that he will get me an installer out on a Thursday between 8-9 am in March 8th 2018, on the day the technician was promised, one never showed up. I called and the agent stated that they did not show any appointments for me, I asked for a supervisor but then the agent started to investigate, she apologized and had me on hold, the agent then came back and stated that she could get me a technician out that same day between 1 and 3 pm. Around 1-3pm I called because no technician came and I've been watching out my window for a Comcast truck all day, I also called my job and let them know that I would be working that day because the technician as promised by Xfinity will be out there, I just let them know I would be late, at this point my job had to use my vacation time because I kept missing out!
I also gained points because I could not work and at some point there was a storm so I had no other options! The technician stated that he's been calling and he marked my case as not home, long story short I never got a technician, Xfinity gave me the runaround. I spoke with multiple supervisors who cut me off was very rude and careless, I lost pay from work, got points added and Comcast did not care, they made up lies, blames me for everything that happened, never once sent a technician until I had to explode then when I said they would credit me for the time missed and gave me a $3 Credit! Xfinity is the worse! Their customer service from the agents to the supervisors! I will be emailing the CEO.

I spent at least 2 hrs on the phone with various people, but found out that you cannot downgrade your service with Comcast. If you want to get rid of services that you do not use, you must cancel all services for 90 days... then you can initiate new services at lower level. How crazy is this??? Unfortunately, many have few internet choices, and with Comcast, we are required to bundle them with other products (+taxes, fees, etc) to get reasonable internet deals. Right now, I am paying $223/mo for internet/tv/phone bundle. I rarely use the TV... never use the phone, but pay lots of fees/taxes based on this. There is an option for internet, plus 10 basic channels for $54.99... but I cannot choose this, because I have been a loyal Comcast customer for many years. You are not allowed to downgrade your services. Seriously??? We seriously need more players in this market. It is a scam.

First time I called to try and fix it, the guy rebooted the connection and told me it could be the modem. So I changed my modem and bought a different brand. That didn't work. Then a tech came out and told me it was the cable. He put a new one but we are still having problems. Now I am stuck in a contract with this horrible company. They throttle speeds.

First the price advertised for the equipment online is varied. Going up at various sellers. Some wanted 200 and that didn't include first month of service. Service was great then at about the 25th day the Amazon firestick would not hold the signal. Troubleshooted nothing worked. Tried a laptop nothing worked until attaching Ethernet cord. So finally tried game console and Smart TV. Nothing would hold the WiFi signal. After 2 days of forced troubleshooting with Comcast over and over they send a tech. All he did was check to see if signal was coming to the box and said it's nothing he can do. (Side note I never have more than 2 devices feeding off the signal at the same time.)
I call Comcast again. They want to keep troubleshooting anything to keep from replacing the equipment. I ask for a supervisor. He tells me to contact ALL of the manufacturers and ask to reset the IP addresses... If they work when connected by Ethernet why would that change anything and why didn't the so called professional technician say that?
I do all this ** call back and demand a replacement. On hold for 30 minutes. Rep comes back saying that they're so backed up they can't set an appointment but someone will call back to confirm. That was Thursday evening around 750 pm. Today is Saturday 216 am. A total time of 5 hours plus waiting for the pointless tech Thursday for 2 hours. This equipment must be a hand me down.

I had Xfinity Comcast service in Michigan. I relocated to Illinois. I called Xfinity Comcast to transfer my service to my new address. The lady on the phone was very helpful in setting everything up and everything was going good until I received a call from a collection agency saying I owed Comcast over $600!!! Apparently, they opened up an entirely new account at the new address and never closed my old account and didn't even get a hold of me about it this entire time. I found out from the collection agency!
I called Comcast to find out what happened and they said the mistake happened because they spelled my name wrong on the new account (despite having the same social security number) and they would get back to me. A few weeks passed and I hadn't heard back, so I called again. Same story, it was their fault. They spelled my name wrong and that's why the old account was never closed, they will resolve the issue and to only make payments on the new account like I have been.
Two months later I see the collection agency is still listed on my credit score from Comcast. I called again! This time they tell me they have no record of me ever speaking with a representative from Comcast and there are no notes on my account. They also tell me there is nothing they can do because it's past 120 days of non payment even though I didn't know about it because I MOVED and when I did find out about it they kept giving me the runaround. They also have the nerve to tell me they don't transfer services between states!!! WHAT?
Well your employees never told me this when I requested a transfer of services! THEN they have the nerve to tell me because my parents were still living there and using the services I had to pay the balance. SO IF IT WERE STRANGERS USING THE SERVICES IN MY NAME, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM AS WELL??? By the end of the conversation with a supervisor from Comcast named Kim, she literally told me it's somewhat their fault this happened and it's also my fault and to ask my parents (whom I don't talk to by the way) if they will pay the collection agency!
This company has no ethics, they don't admit when they are in the wrong, and blame their consumer. This whole thing has been a nightmare and I will never recommend Comcast ever! At least when I had Charter Spectrum they were honest when I canceled service when I moved. DO NOT GO THROUGH COMCAST XFINITY IF YOU CAN HELP IT!!! I'VE WARNED YOU!

I have owned my own modem for over 3 years, ever since I started with this horrible (but only option in town) cable service. Now after 3 year, they decide to charge me for my own modem and instead of verifying the device remotely (Yes, they can do that) they want me to take time off work to come down their office to prove them wrong. I of course refuse and have them take the charges off once I speak to a tech who can verify my modem type and verify that Comcast doesn't own that type of modem.
The worst part is that I ask for a simple written verification that the charges will be removed. Comcast representatives say they can't send an email to confirm the changes have been made. The largest internet company on the west coast can't send an email. Unbelievable. They can verify my account remotely, they can send me a bill by email, but they can't send a verification that the changes will be made to my account by email.

I've been a week without my Xfinity Stream service ever since I requested to move my service from my current address to a new address on March 3. They cannot get the problem fixed after multiple phone calls of 2 hours+ in length. I am paying for TV, but I am not getting TV. For a week. And counting. Numbers I’ve been given: **, supposedly directly to tech help - not active. **, Tier 3 tech help. 855-668-3343, “Movers Edge”, to set up a “special” move since they had to cancel my original move…read on… 800-934-6489, “Customer Solution” department.
History. 2/6 - called to request to set up new service on March 3 at Saint John's, and also on that date, end my current service at Hudson Court. The rep had trouble with the March 3 date; put it in as March 1 first, then needed to change it. I requested different service at Saint John's than I currently have at Hudson. 2/7 - called to let Comcast know that my Xfinity Stream was no longer available. Got sent to tech help. About 1-hour phone call, the tech finally got Xfinity Stream to work again. 2/9 - noticed Xfinity Stream was not working again in the AM; had to go out of town, had no time for lengthy phone calls with Comcast. 2/11 - called Comcast to notify them that once again, I no longer had Xfinity Stream. Was told I had cancelled it. Had to clarify that I am moving; never did a cancellation.
Got forwarded to a tech after rehashing everything like the first time I called... Another 1-hour phone call. 2nd tech stated that he had now fixed the problem 100% for sure; since I was calling from work and not home, I could not verify, but he assured me that I would have Xfinity Stream when I got home. 2/11 - got home and did not have Xfinity Stream as I had been assured I would. Called Comcast, told agent my problem, she said I had cancelled my current service; once again; I had to explain whole thing over again, as I had never cancelled service. Bounced me to a tech, who tried to do all the same things the tech in the AM had tried, and he failed, so finally decided to “escalate” me even though I had already requested escalation (he would not) - so, after 40 minutes on the phone, he escalated me. The “escalation tech” tried for another 40 minutes to get my current Xfinity Stream service to work.
She cancelled my new order for cable/internet installation at Saint John's on March 3, thinking if the new order was cancelled, I could get my current service back. The current service was not restored after the cancellation. She transferred me to another tech who informed me that the package I had - the Xfinity Stream - was no longer available. They then transferred me to billing, since I had been paying for service I was not getting, and now it was no longer available after Comcast erroneously cancelled it, but when I told billing what was happening, they didn’t want to deal with this either or perhaps deal with how to refund me for the service I was paying for and not receiving.
Billing told me to call Customer Solution Dept in the morning to get help, as the guy I was talking to assured me that I COULD still get the Xfinity Stream service that I had prior to when Comcast cancelled it on me, despite what the last tech I had talked to had told me. Received text message from Comcast cancelling my set up on March 3 at Saint John's. 2/12 - called Customer Solution Dept at the special number (!) and got the recording, which took forever to get through; I did not get personal help; had to do the whole account authentication thing again with a robot. Turned out the number was for tech repair, not customer solutions. Got transferred to Customer Solutions. Got an agent who confirmed that, yes, the Stream service I previously had and that Comcast erroneously cancelled on me is now no longer available!
So, the dude last night in billing who punted me back to “Customer Solutions” was wrong. Confirmed my order for ** is cancelled; it was cancelled on 2/12. Comcast agent said that now she had to cancel current internet service; then add it right back on, as in right now - she said that this will open up options for instant TV (Xfinity Stream) for my account; I said sure, give it a try (the sky will now fall). The agent, Aqueesha, upon my stating that I am at work wasting more of my working hours resolving a problem Comcast created, told me she would begin the process of cancelling my internet account and then adding it back again in the hope I could get my previous service back, and then she said that she would call me back at my work number with an update. 2 hours later, no phone call with an update.

After I paid the bogus bills after lengthy arguments they... Did a hard credit check on my social security for the second time in a year and did not ask my permission. Tried to sign me up without telling me they were doing a credit check PLUS nailing me in a 24 month contract. Maximum throttling down of internet speeds.
I turned on my service for 2 months (no contract) at the starter rate before we moved. They canceled my service prior to the end of my billing period (today) and AGAIN tried to nail me in a 12 month contract in order to turn it on for the last 2 weeks of my billing period. I said no, I couldn't believe it. I talked to customer service immediately. They promised me my refund will be on next invoice.
My nightmare experience with Comcast is extensive. Customer service is a joke. Online support is farmed to India and some have English language skills. Does anyone feel that $79.95 per month (or $100 a month if your off auto pay and auto billing) or almost $1,000 a year seem fair for just internet access? The starter package for $34.95 is a joke (no contract) but they nail you for on fees and speeds are worse than Afghanistan's (guess). Comcast charges you if you don't sign up for paperless billing and auto pay (they want your juicy credit card or bank account numbers - they will charge you extra no matter what guaranteed) and penalizes you for not giving permission to 12 or 24 month contacts. It's ridiculous.
Comcast has no competition in Fort Myers, Florida nor in any other major markets. Comcast tries to bundle in media content (TV) with internet. Comcast penalizes internet only customers. It's a national joke. Cord cutters like me and millions of other users know that the days of traditional media is over. For example, if you do say... watch NBC and watch it on Comcast service it's broadcast at 480p or lower (unless you upgrade their service) while all you have to do is use rabbit ears and get it for free at 1080p on your antenna.
My advice to anyone needing internet service is to avoid Comcast altogether. If you simply need to check emails and do a little web surfing, please use mobile services like T-Mobile or MINT/SIM and use your cell phone as a hotspot. If you must use Comcast do NOT give them your social security number nor your driver's license number. They will use it to their advantage and try and nail you the first chance they get.
Comcast is widely regarded as the most hated company in America. Just Google it. People would rather deal with the Federal Government than Comcast. As for me I would rather get shot out of a cannon into a volcano before I use decrepit draconian Comcast I mean Spamcast I mean Brokecast. I have transcripts of all my communiques with Comcast, bills, online support, refunds and emails to support all of my information. I hope this review helps anyone in the same boat as I was or is doing their own research into this joke of a company. The negative reports about Comcast and multiple lawsuits is so widespread I am dismayed they are allowed to operate. Only cure for this company is a massive increase in competition.

Third time they said they are going to send someone with a new tv box to see if the box I had was bad.

He apologized about the inconvenience and said he is going to take the defective box and make a note to Comcast not to charge me anything since it’s their mistake. The technician asked me to use my bathroom which was a little awkward and left.
So the problem started when I got the first bill which was $131 and not $39 as I was promised. I called them and they said my package is $53 and not $39, and I was charged for the technician not like what he told me there is no charge, and they said the first box I had it missing and they are going to charge me monthly as long as I don’t bring it back, but as I said the technician took the box with him. I keep calling them every time they tell me different story and they don’t wanna fix the problem, and some of the agent were very rude and very unprofessional, so I told them to go check my recorded call who sold me this terrible package that he said I have a month money back guaranteed if I don’t like the service.
So I said to the agent, "Cancel everything. I don’t anything anymore. My experience with you was awful and unpleasant and apply that term one month money back and take me back to my original package that was $19.99/month." They didn’t honor their first promise and end up charging me $42.63. To sum up Comcast is a very misleading company, you can see lack of communication within their departments, they're not on same page and they don’t keep their promises when they call first to make you sign for any deal.

I don't game, I don't binge movies and I dont have kids. 3 tvs, only one or two in use. 2 old tablets, 3 Rokus and one unplugged till we need it. And we chewed thru 1 tb in a month. I did my homework and then called Comcast and gosh oh golly have I ever seen so many knowledge people come up with nothing answers. They sent out a tech and he change a cable from my router to the wall, then went online and checked a few things and nothing. I'm serious, Nothing! No hackers, no piggyback neighbors.
Comcast has been great dealing with me and has returned calls and everything but I still don't get any serious answers. # 1 why doesn't Comcast have a meter report on each bill showing data usage each month, like the gas or electric companies and as for data usage this has been in the works for years and it's not like this started last week. I have a Nighthawk that shows me my data usage but there is no device on the average market that reads every device in your house separately. Comcast rep told me that only 1% of Comcast customers use 1 TB of data. I seriously challenge that. TVs in the house, gaming online, leaving your TV on all night long.
I have my belief as to whats going on, but wait till 4K tvs really hit the market and EVERYONE owns one. You can kiss your Comcast bill goodbye for being reasonable. Next you'll be seeing petabytes before long and like everything else with no middle class because no one can afford paying $500 a month for BASIC cable. I dont smile, smirk and or make jest, I'm very serious. Comcast wants to make money, cool, but do you have to be so greedy. I know, stupid statement!

Lied about Fees & Horrible Customer Service - I signed up for their internet service on the 14th of December with the advertisement that offered FREE installation; I even read the small print. The day before the install guy came they sent me a bill for $60 and took $50 out of my account to "hold on to". I ended talking to some Indian guy, that could barely speak English, and argued over the install fees. I am not wasting my time justifying myself for an hour with customer service. Anyway, I ended up canceling and had to call multiple times, each time given a longer time period, to get my $50 back. Their customer service is unprofessional and typically paraphrases what I say back to me without actually doing anything. This is not an active listening line, it's customer service. Do something.

It's been over a week that I've been without service! They sent out a technician 3 days after the service stopped working which I fully understand. However, once the tech arrived he checked everything inside and out and came to the conclusion that the Modem was the problem! He then went on to tell me that they (Xfinity) uses poor quality/defected modems for their customers! He suggested that I purchase my own modem and router, if I ever wanted my internet to work flawlessly. I couldn't believe it! I knew my service was slow but I didn't think it was being done on purpose!
I call Xfinity prepaid back and was told that they would mail out another modem and that it should arrive in 3-5 business days, then after three days of waiting I called back and was told that it could take as long as 5-7 business days! By this time I was fed up and so I went shopping for my own modem. I shopped around and then after identifying two possible brands I asked my son (he's a techie) which he thought was better. He gave me his opinion and asked me to call them again and make sure it was ok to purchase my own modem with prepaid. I called back and was told that I could purchase my own modem and that the one which they shipped out could be given to a friend or whatever, I didn't need to return it.
I called my son and told him what they said and to go ahead and make the purchase (~$200). Once he came back to the house to set it up for me (we were all so excited) and all the cords were connected and ready to go, I called Xfinity prepaid back and the agent said I couldn't use my own modem with Xfinity prepaid!!! I was so upset, I asked for a manager... the agent hung up on me!!! I called back and another agent said the same thing and I asked for a manager/supervisor or someone to explain to me why I was told to make the purchase and then told it's not "recommended".
We went back and forth with them for days... until another refurbished modem arrived in the mail. Then when we plugged that one in, they didn't want to give me back the credits they promised for my troubles!!! I had to wait on hold today for about a total of 2 hours to get them to activate my service and give me the credits promised! We'll see if they come up with some more BS before the credits expire.

Long story short, Comcast has been running a promotion where they provide a gift card with enrollment in service. I enrolled in service in July of 2017 and was guaranteed a $50 gift card for enrolling. I am now writing this review in January 2018 and have never received the gift card. I have contacted Comcast via the web three times and have called twice. Every time a representative says that the situation is being handled and that, "a gift card was sent out in September."
This is not about the money on the gift card, but more about the principle behind using these baiting tactics to get people to enroll. It's absolutely unacceptable that something like this could occur. Unfortunately, I am stuck with Comcast as they are the only provider in my area. We should be getting access to another provider within the next six months and I will happily switch providers when alternative service becomes available. The whole thing is shameful on their part.

After 20 minutes, and no online light, I went outside the house and discovered that the cable wasn’t even connected to the box on the telephone pole. I called for a technician to come out, and they scheduled me for a 7:30 am appointment on a Saturday, which was 4 days out (seems a bit early in the morning but I digress). Saturday arrived and so did the technician. He was driving a small Ford Panel van with a little 15 foot ladder strapped to the top. He got out, took a look at the telephone pole, then told me he couldn’t do it because he would need a bucket truck and none of them were available.
After he left I called customer support again and they sent out a supervisor. When he arrived he told me their bucket truck operator was on vacation and would be until Thursday. He told me he’d go back to the shop and see if they could possibly come out Sunday instead if they could get the keys to the truck. He promised to call me within 30 minutes and left. He never called.
Sunday rolled around and I contacted customer support again, and they booked me an appointment for Monday. I specifically told them to bring a bucket truck and screenshotted the conversation (this was done via their IM service, not a phone call). It’s now Sunday afternoon and I’m crossing my fingers that they actually get it connected tomorrow. PS After the first technician left on Saturday, Comcast credited $20 to my account for the inconvenience.

No, they send a tech... to my house a week later just to find out there's nothing wrong with my equipment and an animal had chewed through their transmission line across the street.

If you can get around using Comcast/Xfinity it would definitely be in your best interest! Having used home and business services for cable and internet, my experience has been reasonably AWFUL to say the least. Scenario 1) The internet or cable goes out and you troubleshoot the symptoms as they instruct you to with no help so they say that they will assign a technician to you and there will be a phone call to set up an appointment for your service. That phone call never happens and you are left with no service, still.
Scenario 2) Upon setting up a new business, we sign an agreement with Comcast/Xfinity TEN MONTHS before opening and clearly illustrate all of the job that needs to be performed, only to see the job completed over THREE MONTHS past our grand opening. I have never seen a cable and internet installation take so many meetings to "discuss the plan" and nothing ever happen! How does it take 13 months to complete an installation?? Santa Fe, TX may be a slow moving town, but they sure let us know about it when they did not get what they expected!
Scenario 3) With a home account, somehow our monthly rates go up EVERY SINGLE MONTH!! We call in and complain and the representative "puts notes into the software" and "guarantees that nothing like this will happen again" only to turn around and spend another hour on the phone going through the same thing, 30 days later.

Comcast is the worst ISP in the USA. Billing is consistently wrong and takes months if not years to correct. Service reps are unhelpful and snarky. Comcast had no record of equipment shipped but not ordered, but billed for anyway. Service can be sporadic in our neighborhood, with no explanation or fix by Comcast. Would not recommend Comcast under any circumstance. Do not sign up with Comcast.

I thought that perhaps Comcast would become more technologically competent over the years. In the past they have wasted so much of my time trying to resolve problems that should never have been problems to begin with - such as keeping separate accounts in different states separate, so that I could access the various accounts online, keep payments separate, etc. Well, here I am - at over 1 hour waiting on the phone for the 3rd tech support - to sort out another ridiculous problem - this time information from an old account, cancelled 6 months ago interfering with recovery options settings for a new account in a different state. It would be so much better if Amazon handled all their tech!

This company is terrible. They keyed in my social security number wrong (they admitted the mistake) and now tell me I must go across town to their store to get it changed! My remote went out (the third one) and I have to go across town again to get a new one. My sister was on the account with me. When she passed away, I was told, again that I would have to go across town to their store and bring a death certificate with me. I don't drive now, so the cab fare is really high. I don't see why a remote cannot be mailed out and why they can't correct their typo of my social security number over the phone. They also bundle services. If you want a less expensive TV package, they charge every part of the Internet service, so you still pay the higher price. They really need competition. Their service is atrocious.

Everything looks pretty good when you sign up. BUT, when you want to cancel or change (downgrade) your plan, the headache begins. First, I tried to call customer service to downgrade my service, I was transferred three times to reach the right person, even I made the correct choice and specifically told the agent that I wanted to downgrade. Then I was told that if I remove TV and downgrade internet, my bill will be $30 more, how ridiculous?! Then when I tried to do it myself online, more problems. The "manage plan" is linked to "contact us" directly and I don't have the option to manage plan online. Online chatting only got reply with non-sense and irrelevant.

Over the last 2 years we continue to have the worst service with this company, and they are the only one that serves our area - so we are stuck. They have: 1.) Set us up with the wrong packages (took 3 times to fix). (All Spanish channels. We don't speak Spanish.) 2.) Payment issues with not processing in the early year. 3.) Upgrading service but they never show up and when you call them there is no notes regarding this & they never did it - the only way we could prove something was done was by a payment processed to my son's credit card (we had to produce the receipt too). 4.) They double processed 2 payments but then wouldn't refund 1 of them. We had to call bank to stop payment on them. Now we can't make any debit/credit card payments for 6 months.
5.) Made a payment on the phone with a routing number; received an email that said it was received, 10 days later money still in bank (bank shows it was never pulled) and they cut off our service for nonpayment/bounced charge. Nobody on phone line helpful. Had to go to store. Pay with money order. We removed all credit card info and bank info at this time.
6.) Last payment made on Saturday, on Monday they went ahead and took the same payment we made out of the checking account causing our account to go negative by over $100. If everything removed, how did they do this. Payment was paid, nothing due until 12/9. We are having to fix this today now. They are the worst internet/cable service I have experienced in 20 years. They are rude, half the time you don't get an English speaking person, they can never resolve an issue - they claim it is always your fault. The minute we get a new company here, we are discontinuing service.

A Comcast service employee even told me I don't really have to replace it. Out of nowhere, I receive a letter stating in bold print - "WE ARE SENDING YOU A NEW MODEM." Stated my present modem would not work as of 1/16/18. They gave me no choice. It was at my door within several days. I called them. Told them I was a disabled, over 70 yr old senior citizen and it was impossible mentally or physically to replace their outdated modem for them.
"Ana" from call center located in Mexico asked her supervisor if the $60 service call fee could be waived given my circumstances as it was, after-all, their equipment that needed replacement. She got the approval and assured me there would be no fee. You guessed it! $60 fee on my bill. They asked me who, what, when did I call which the only info I had was Ana, Mexico, and the date. They would call me back within 24 hours with their final and I do mean final, decision. Three hours later... "we will not remove the charge". They found the call I made but there were no notes on my call. So I made it all up? There must have been something noted on the call, but they just didn't want to stand behind it.

For a company that has made it so that our neighborhood can only use Comcast to begin with, I am shocked at how difficult it has been to set up service and keep service on. After moving here in September (it is now December), we have had to reconnect service three times. Not only have we had to do that but there has been no record of prior services to my address whenever I try to correct the dropped service. Finally they decided a technician had to come out here to reactivate the wires outside and then they tried to charge us for installation fees that did not apply to the services provided by the technician.
While interactions with the technicians or customer care are usually pleasant, it is all meaningless when all that's left to be discovered is a long trail of incomplete work orders leading to interrupted service and incorrect charges. Being required to use Comcast with no alternative options for internet is one thing, but adding in the blatant disregard for corporate responsibility to ensure satisfactory product performance should be illegal. If Comcast doesn't care about their reputation, consumers should have the option to choose a new internet provider. Very dissatisfied.

How is it that Comcast can get away with charging for services that are promised and not delivered? They have us all over a barrel! There SHOULD be a class-action lawsuit against them. It has really gotten out of hand. We pay top-dollar for internet speed and get far from what the bottom range should be. We have requested the outdoor cable wire to be replaced with an RG 11 wire, as it is what should be installed, considering the length from the electric pole in our backyard to the juncture at our house. Instead we have this guy come and install just a regular satellite tv wire, essentially the one that was there beforehand. What was really irksome, was that he was the second person who was supposed to come out and repair it, but he didn't. He dropped the ball.
He lead me to believe he had installed the RG 11 but I found out that it was the same substandard wiring that was there beforehand. That is utterly dishonest. We have had serious internet problems for the last 7 months and have had TWENTY technicians come to my home during that period. Most of these guys are contracted out and I have been told they get paid for each thing they do. Unfortunately they do things that are unnecessary and unhelpful. We are at our wit's end. Comcast is unethical. It continues to expand beyond what its present infrastructure can support. We pay top dollar for tv packages and the highest of internet speed packages... Neither serve us well. Comcast, you are unethical and deplorable. Why has there not been a class-action suit against them? It's criminal.
I am exasperated beyond words. If I did not have 4 teenagers who rely on the internet to work in order to do homework, I would have told CC adios ages ago. I don't understand how promises for service can be made when a repair person shows up for an appointment with no history documented for the call. Last person showed up and said "I hear you are having trouble with your internet." He had no history, he saw that the call had requested two supervisors but couldn't tell me why it was him who was called and not the supervisors. While he was standing in my hallway I explained the situation and he shook his head with disbelief. I spoke to his dispatcher and explained the issue. I was told that there would be TWO supervisors on the job the following day. Nobody came and our internet is the same.
I have made so many phone calls, have been promised a service on a certain day, apologies and promises of supervisors to come out... And nothing.

Ok FB friends I need to vent. I've had Comcast/Xfinity service since 1973. There have been issues over the years that I've called to complain about that were eventually worked out but the past few years their service has deteriorated. They've shown me on several occasions that my loyalty as a customer doesn't mean a thing. The sad thing about it is I was willing to accept POOR SERVICE even though I threatened to take my business elsewhere.
An issue arose last month that I had to take precious time out of my schedule to call in, wade through the prompts on the automated system, hold forever, be passed three times to another person before the issue was finally resolved. I was told they'd put notes in the system so I wouldn't have to call about it anymore. Well, the same issue came up again this month & when I called, guess what??? I had to rehash the issue again & there were NO NOTES posted from last month's call. When I asked for a supervisor my issue still wasn't resolved. I'd threatened on several occasions to take my business to AT&T where, as a 30 year retiree, I get a discount of 50%.
In the past, I never followed through because I'd have to learn something new, so I stayed with what was familiar. Well, yesterday I'd had all the expensive poor service a paying customer could take & instead of just blowing smoke, I took my business elsewhere. AT&T, unlike Comcast, doesn't bill you a month ahead. Yes, I'll have to learn their system but I'm getting a $100.00 Visa gift card as a new customer reward. My Comcast bill rose every other month but my new bill for the next 2 years will be an amount half of what I've been paying, an amount I can afford. Comcast adds a million surcharges that made my bill completely out of control. My new service will be installed November 27th and Comcast can kiss my grits!!!

When you try and change packages it always ends up more expensive even when you "downgrade" service. Their customer service is terrible - be prepared to wait forever to talk to someone over the phone. You can use their online chat and it's sometimes faster. When you finally get someone their English won't be good, they won't understand what you're saying, and they'll have to transfer you 5 times. I signed up for a new package the last time I moved and found out after they installed it it was a completely different package that they actually set up.
The biggest lesson I learned from using them is DO NOT under any circumstances get the security system. When my last package was up I decided to move from TV + internet to TV + internet + security. However I had some reservations about the 2 year contract and cancellation fees because I move a lot. I asked the rep to give me the details of what would happen if I needed to move again. He said not to worry because it's easy to transfer the service and they wouldn't charge me the security install fee again since I already paid it. What he left out if you move to an area outside their service area your still responsible for the service fees. I tried explaining to the rep and finally to the supervisor that I would never had added on the security if they had been completely transparent with me about the fees.
1 1/2 hour and >$700 in fees later I am furious. Their supervisor basically ignored everything I said and refused to look back at the conversation I had when signing up even though he admitted they have those records. I will NEVER use them again. It's a complete waste of money and your time/sanity. Even if your other options aren't as good I would still recommend not using them. Absolutely terrible company

I informed him I am not responsible for other people failing to return equipment and I purchased new at Amazon. He indicated the equipment was sold online and I made a choice to purchase it. Fabian was not listening or giving instructions how I can redeem this equipment is legitimate, he was assuming I am committing the same violations as other people that don't return their equipment and I felt very victimized by his arrogance. I informed him that I am being forced to write to the FCC and Fabian advised me it will reach him and he will tell me the same thing and he cancelled my service.

I feel Fabian should have looked further into a resolution on the Comcast end to ensure they have the proper information and fixed it instead of cutting off my service. Fabian may deal with a lot of people that don't return Comcast equipment and I have no control over that I purchased my equipment from a trusted source and Fabian has the power and resources to confirm and fix it, instead he victimized a customer, I feel Fabian is abusing his position.
The over 1500 complaints I saw at the BBB site is appalling and should be taken seriously. If I had a choice to use another internet service provider I would but that is not possible because Comcast made sure they contracted the geographical area. The Company I purchased from is DOCSIS ID ** Arris CM820A Cable Modem and the phone number is ** Account Sales MGR Karen **.

I had a payment arrangement set up for 10/27 and I spoke to an agent named "Akhileshk" to cancel it a whole day before on 10/26. The agent I spoke with told the arrangement was canceled and I would not be charged. Well what do you know, next morning I woke up and the entire money was withdrawn!!! I contacted Comcast customer service via chat and requested a refund for the full amount and next thing they tell me is "contact your bank to cancel transaction" as Comcast cannot refund the amount.
I know how banks work and they cannot "Cancel" transactions that are pending. It's all up to the merchant "Comcast" to refund the money back to my card. It literally took a supervisor to FINALLY tell me that they CAN refund the amount but will take 5-7 business days for the money to be returned to my account. This should've never happened in the first place. Now I am the one that is having to deal with my bank to see if I can get the money temporarily put back into my account. HUGE INCONVENIENCE. Also, when I spoke to the supervisor he has told there was notes from the agent that I spoke with on 10/26. Bottom Line. Do not do business with Comcast. I have had so many issues with them in the past as well. They treat their customers very poorly.

I am 61 years old and due to budget restrictions canceled my cable and kept just internet services with Comcast. The cost was 39.99 per month and I have my own modem. The service rep. tried to pressure me into renting it but I stood firm and he left without connecting me to a secure site. I then found someone to assist with that. This month I was informed that my "promotion" was ending and it would cost me 89.99 for the same internet service. No one can convince me that it cost Comcast an additional 49.99 more to provide me with the same internet I am using now. Representative had no answer except that it was the end of my promotion.
Comcast and other internet service providers are prying on people and it needs to stop. I live in an over 60 apartment complex and have heard similar stories from the residents. It needs to stop. Our complex has wifi for free in the common areas and per the manager the bill does not increase by more than 50% each year so why is it that we tenants are charged such outrageous fees? Something needs to change.

Wifi connection is not 75mb and drops every 2 min! I have videotaped the lousy service they provide since the first day. I want to get out of contract without penalties, they don't deliver what they promised.

I have had TV with Comcast since 1996. All of a sudden this year, I add internet, my account gets deactivated without any notice. I call 3 times to resolve, no one speaks good English, as not in the US. Get told my first call in April concerning seasonal or vacation service was never entered. I'm told my account had been deactivated, for no apparent reason. My auto payments stop and I owe over $300. I pay with credit card but then fight to get service started again. Finally resolved 5 months later, but realize Comcast has wrong billing address. Call back 3 more times and do online chat to no avail. You're the only game in town so this is how you get away with it.

I am paying for 400 mbps internet speed and have yet to break 30 mbps on all of my speed test from the Xfinity website. I have made multiple calls and requested for technicians to come out. The first 2 techs were unable to fix the problems. The most recent tech was scheduled today from 10 am - Noon. I was not by my phone and live on the 3rd floor of a condo. I hear my phone ring, answer the call that the tech is here. I go down 3 flights of stairs to open the door and the tech is driving away. I try to run out and catch him but they are gone.
I check my phone and see that a text came in at 11:23 am saying he was here. The phone call came in at 11:26 am and by 11:27 am he was gone. This is absolutely ridiculous that I have been here waiting for the 2 hour window and they are allowed to leave within 10 minutes. WHAT IF I WAS IN THE BATHROOM OR HAD A CHILD I AM TAKING CARE OF AND CAN'T GET TO THE PHONE IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME? I called to get the tech back. She basically told me they are always double books so that if one person doesn't answer the door, then they go to the next job. She then tells me they don't know when he will be back today but they will call me... Still waiting 30 min later.

The fact that Comcast lacks a complaint department should tell you all you need to know. This is an example of a company that should have been prosecuted to the full extent of the law years ago. Not only was the service terrible, not only did they engage in an "area update" that eliminated all service on my second day, not only did they fail to provide an adequate means of online payments, but when I asked to terminate the account, their representative, a "Virtual Agent" named Howard who works from home presumably because of his splendid people skills, clearly lied to me and told me cancellation would be easy, and had in fact occurred when I paid my unpaid balance.
I admit I fouled up. I had trouble using their online auto payment option, and perhaps a more tech savvy customer would not. But that is not my regret. My belief is that I should have cancelled on the second day when their "area update" took away my paid internet. That told me all I needed to know about this company. But more damningly, I should have demanded something in writing from Howard to terminate my account, and even now after getting a second agent, Ellie, to say she has terminated my account, I have my doubts.
They commit fraud. As soon as I made final payments, they secretly 'reactivated' my account because I had paid. Howard told me my account was terminated. Howard lied. Today, nearly half a month later, I received a call from customer service who wanted me to upgrade an account I had assumed was done. Comcast's "reactivation of non paid disconnection status accounts" is a fraudulent program made to leech money off of people who have trouble using a substandard online payments option. I hate this company and hope it files for bankruptcy someday in a world where competition actually exists. Until then, they are the only regional supplier of ** mediocrity.
