    I am writing this review to warn others not to make the same mistake I did. I signed up for 2 year contract. We have had that contract 13 months. In that 13 months we have lost ALL service 15x!!! Some days we have had to wait 8 hours for the tech to show up, only for them to be 1 hour late. The customer service is horrible. I was treated very rudely when I was trying to explain that I needed phone service for my 80 yo mother in case of emergency. They could give 2 craps about our situation. THE FCC NEEDS TO PULL THEIR LICENSE!!!! This is not a "service" but a money grabbing. Heed my advice.. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!!! 15 hours on the phone, 5 days waiting, and only $4.00 WORTH OF CREDIT!

    I have had Xfinity for about 6 months and it started out nice. Good amount of data for an ok price, I was a satisfied customer. Then about a month ago I started to notice my service drop more and more. I had to constantly restart the modem. I finally decided to call. Service center was methodical but the people were willing enough. I had a technician come over work on it a few hours did his routine and then asked me to connect. My internet did not work. He was so confident - he didn't even check to see if anything would connect. He was ready to leave. He then swapped out modems. Got the internet to connect and left.

    Week goes by my internet is worse. This modem won't connect to anything and never turns on. I call rinse and repeat. They send a technician out, he looks at it thinks everything is fine. Gets the internet to turn on for enough time to sprint out the door. Finally I'm fed up, call a third time and tell THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE. They send a technician out, he's also clueless about why this is happening thinks maybe a 3rd modem will work. He swaps it out again gets it working and then leaves. Not two hours later it won't put out wifi.

    I FINALLY call and tell them this is ridiculous and I'm ready to quit my service. The operator had the audacity to argue with me. They I was in a "contract" and would have to pay a cancellation fee (like it was my fault for wanting to leave while I was NOT receiving a service I was paying for). I quickly tell them to put a supervisor on the phone. The supervisor didn't even answer the phone.

    After having to argue with the operator, the manager didn't even take a second look. They waived the fee (like they should have offered in the first place since they couldn't give me actual service). I was patient as could be went through weeks of calling and having clueless technicians come out, hours being on the phone with people who didn't even know what was going on. In summary Xfinity does not remotely care about its customers. You could be having the most absolute worst experience but as long as you're paying them. They wouldn't even give you a second look if you didn't lose your temper with the operator. If you have the internet and know how to restart a modem, congratulations. You have the education of a Comcast technician. Simply the worst experience I have personally ever had in any service, ever, period. I personally cannot wait for Google fiber to put them out of business. Justice served if you ask me.

    IF I COULD RATE THIS COMPANY MINUS 10 I WOULD!!! Having been a loyal customer with Comcast for 16 plus years, utilizing the services after numerous issues with them over the years, this is the last straw! Whenever we have had an issue with our services it always consisted of being transferred from one person or area to another ALWAYS. Numerous times we have had service outages that have lasted for days, whenever we engage to correct we get transferred around numerous times.

    Well on November 28th I contact them to request to discontinue our services as of December 10th because we had sold our home and were moving to an area where Comcast services are not offered. UPON the first 2 minutes after the initial call I was transferred and again had to authenticate myself and our account, after already completing that authenticate with the first representative. The person identified themselves as Dom and again I shared what I needed and he zipped through rushing me off the phone without providing a summary of the request or a confirmation. As he was attempting to rush me off the call and close it our cable service stopped working IMMEDIATELY. I ask him to slow down and correct this issue. At this point I am sincerely annoyed.

    He transfer me to technical support without any handoff or notice, can you say I am so irritated. Again, to a different area where we had to authenticate yet again at this point they can not locate the last 4 digits of the primary account names identification. The systems Comcast utilizes are not integrated or the Customer Service Representatives are not properly trained. The two previous incompetent people used the same digits and it was found and confirmed. Now they can't locate our account.

    Really, I just spoke with Dom who had now officially screwed up my account and services!!! This person proceeded to try to assist but to no avail. After 32 mins on and off hold proceeds to tell me how terrible her counterpart is and that I should complain about this Dom because he was terrible. She was not able to FIX this problem and had transfer me yet AGAIN!!! Transfer #4. New XFINITY One technician does everything she could and was unable to fix it. After again not being able to authenticate our account by the process they have established because the infamous 4 digit of the primary account holder is not on the records.

    Now it's 9:44pm and I have been on the phone with these people at least 1.8 hours and we are being told we have to wait a few hours and they would call us back at 8AM the next morning to see if the issue resolved itself, REALLY! I mean really whatever Dom the second incompetent agent did caused this issue and no one and I mean no one could resolve it. I will NEVER return to Comcast or XFINITY for any of the services they offer EVER, nor will I recommend them to anyone either EVER. THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!!!

    We had poor internet service. Comcast confirmed there was a problem with their equipment outside our home and told us we had to be present because the technician had to come in the house before he completed his service. We made an appointment for service on the Sunday following Thanksgiving which required we make a special 2-1/2 hour trip from out-of-town to meet the technician. We were at our home in advance of the appointment time, and we responded to several robo-calls to confirm our presence.

    We actually received a robo-call saying the tech was here and we should go greet him. We went to the door and no one was there. We walked outside and did not see a Comcast truck on the street. We assumed he needed to start his investigation around the corner. When no one showed up for almost an hour, I called back to Comcast, and after staying on the line for almost an hour, we finally were told that the technician had been to the wrong house and had left and they could not get that or any other technician back out. Our service was still not working so we had to reschedule. What a frustrating waste of time!!

    I was informed that I could get much internet speeds of 200 mbps, and 10 basic channels for price A, if I signed a contract for 1 year. I liked the deal, and signed up for contract. Thereafter, I realized that I was getting only 100 mbps (instead of the 200 mbps). I followed up several times with Comcast customer support, and every time got different answers.

    Finally, the loyalty department representative claimed that I should be flexible to some human error, and that I was misinformed about the speeds. There is nothing that he could do to fix the plan (unless I paid more to upgrade my tier to get the desired speeds). They don't even provide you the contract that you signed with them. So, always make sure that you have an electronic trail to avoid them from flipping on their words. This is a brazen theft when they acknowledge human errors, but are not ready to rectify it (and more importantly get you for full year contract with their services). Will never recommend anyone to sign up with this company.

    This Comcast company is scam, and a disgrace with no respect to consumers rights. Comcast does false advertisement and incorrect billing and refuses change the billing cycle to work with disabled consumers who don’t get paid until the 3rd of every month and then want to falsely hit them with unfair late fees on their Comcast account. Comcast sending threatening notices of disconnection on services and refusing to give consumers proof of payment received of $69.20 falsely claiming they never received payment then wanting to hit me with a bill of $239.23 due on 26th of every month. This is highway robbery from Comcast and this is a direct violation of my consumer rights and it discriminates against consumers with disabilities and I consider this harassment. I will join any petition or any class action lawsuit against Comcast Corporation.

    So, Comcast decided to limit everyone on their internet usage in Michigan. Living in a household with 5 adults, staying within a terabyte is a lot harder than you'd think. They have been nothing but difficult for years. Charging us HD prices for cable, but won't give us the HD box. Charging us two boxes, when we only have one. The WORSE internet services! Constantly going in and out.

    And now, you either have to pay more for their terrible internet to get unlimited data or get charged every time you use more than their limited amount. They claim that only 1% of people don't use this much data for internet services, but apparently my entire area is that 1% because I have spoken to several people who also find the limits as ridiculous as I do, going over the limited amount each month.

    Their whole point in doing this is so that you HAVE to buy their awful cable to watch anything or suffer the cost for refusing to buy their cable products. I don't watch cable because it's mostly just crap that they think is entertaining and because I am tired of all of the commercials; most specifically all of the drug commercials that are constantly playing. I guess they will force the money out of you no matter what. Just another greedy corporation with a monopoly on the services. If we were able to get another internet provider, that would be great, but cable and internet providers are far and few between these days.

    Got overcharged. Told refund coming on next bill. It was partial. Contacted, told the rest would be on next bill. That was also partial. Contacted them, they played dumb about the chain of events, only commenting on the current refund, which was already more generous than what I was asking for (since they didn't know about the previous amount). That's not how math works, and they don't know it. TL;DR if you're owed a refund, make sure you get it in one fell swoop or you won't get it all.

    If I could give them a negative star or no stars on this review I would. I have never worked with any industry with as bad of customer service as Comcast. It is not a matter of money because I make well enough above and beyond to afford their services but they are a legitimate ripoff. I think they are the biggest scam of since the mortgage industry's major meltdown and I hope I move somewhere where Comcast does not exist. The disregard to want to help or do the right thing is honestly astounding. If you have to call, which you do FOR ALL ISSUES - billing, connection/service, adding or removing service, errors, it does not matter you will be transferred minimum of 4 times. Everyone says the same thing and passes the issues to the next person and no one resolves the problem.

    They offer promotional packages in small timeframes and can never access them again so they then upgrade you without you wishing and change your billing. It has been 5 months and I have been overcharged $40 a month since I started with them. The blatant rudeness that must make you qualified to do this job is the type of quality service that gets you this review. So... Dear Comcast, you suck. Sincerely, a customer who cannot wait to never use your service again.

    Check your contract when you sign up for Comcast as their advertised offers do not match the contract they issue. I signed up for $49.99 150Mbps internet for 2 years, however my contract has $19.99 for 25Mbps internet for 2 years. They say there is an add on in place for $30 which boost it to Blast! Pro, however this isn't part of the contract, which means that Comcast can increase the price whenever they want within the 2 years. This means I haven't received the advertised rate. Comcast has so far refused to issue corrected contract, or issue in writing that the $30 will remain at that price for 2 years. I just have to trust them. So watch out, Comcast is doing the usual illegal practices, I'm guessing to catch people out and hope they don't notice and end up paying more than they should.

To top things off the money I owe they told me was fine and that I could still get my Internet installed when I ordered it and was owed from an account I cancel before the 30 day mark but they refuse to take off.

    I Have been a long time customer and only have Xfinity as my ISP for a while now. While I was in the local Walmart on November 4, 2016, there were customer representatives from Xfinity running promotions for and in the Salt Lake City area. Spoke with a representative and was able to get and signed a contract for Pro Blast at $50.00 a month with no contract or early termination fees. I received an email from Xfinity stating the changes that would be made to my account. It stated that not only would it be under contract for 24 months but there would be early termination fees. This is not what I had originally signed up for and it specifically states this on the contract that I signed.

    Contacted Xfinity customer service and was told since they cannot see the contract over the phone that I would need to go to Xfinity store in person. Went to Xfinity store on November 8, 2016 and was told that it would be under contract and there was no way around it. Because of this I have cancelled the upgrade and went back to my original plan. It's plain and simple. When a contract is signed it should be honored for what is stated on it. Xfinity is dishonest and not trustworthy. Therefore I will be looking and changing my ISP as soon as possible to another company. Xfinity does not deserve a paycheck from me or anyone else that I know.

    There is a malfunction on the DVR manager which is preventing us from adding more recordings. Customer service is fairly certain that the problem is from the signal from their system to ours, but protocol demands that they access our home before investigating that option. Since we work, that cannot be done until next Saturday. Customer service tech agreed that this seems illogical since logic would dictate that one would investigate the most probably malfunction first, but insists they must follow protocol. This is extremely frustrating. After 35 years as a customer of Comcast & their predecessors, I am investigating alternatives.

    I have had cable, DISH, and U-verse, etc. in the past. All are eh... but you know what? Comcast takes the cake. I have never been driven to take time out of my day just to gripe online for all to see. But consumers, stay away! So my first terrible experience with Comcast is that they took 5 phones and 2 months to come out and bury the lines they had to lay in my front yard to get the cable needed into my house. Finally got someone when my special needs neighbor tripped and fell!

    Now 3 months into my contract, I have had my internet, phone, and TV go out for HOURS at a time. I would spend 3 hours on with a tech when it will come back up after the technician resets the router manually for the 3rd or 4th time. I have had it, I work from home occasionally and this is a huge inconvenience! The hardware is faulty, I understand that sometimes you get a lemon... but 3 months! 3 months! I have had it.

    Had them from 2014 to now. I'd tell new customers to run but there is nowhere to run to. I tried, but it turned out Comcast was Xfinity. Signing up for a contract has no meaning. The fine print in the contract that they suggest you read when they randomly change a contract says they can change anything anytime and are not doing anything wrong. I disagree. I have or had performance pro, paying for a speed of internet a month under a contract. Not month to month alone. The speed is not listed or told to you just it's between 25 and 50.

    I got a letter Friday saying Tue (today) I'm being forced into a new contract plan. I'm now paying for my data at the same speed with a cap of a terabyte. Seems like a lot but it's not and not what I signed up for. But all customer service says is that's the deal now. They don't offer plans by just speed it's changed. Those who use more Internet should pay more. It's not fair to the other customers. What does it matter fair it's what we signed up to use. I use firestick. We stream everything all day. It's frustrating. They kept saying it's the same, but if I use more just go to the unlimited plan for only $50 more. I don't have 150$. It's why we got rid of direcTV for firestick. Paying for an unlimited speed to being changed to pay for data is a huge difference. All they can say is, "You won't know there was a change unless you go over 1000. The closest you got so far was 980 and we won't charge you for going over the first 2 months to get used to it."

    When I first went to talk to someone at the store they didn't want to talk to me and told me I needed to call billing. They don't know about it. How can they not help or explain if we pay bills there and get equipment there. After a minute the guy called someone over who is good at explaining the letter. So now they know about the letter and someone can explain it. They just didn't want to deal with it in the store. So the other guy comes over and lies to us as well. Tells us the letter got sent to everyone but is only for new customers, not us. Whatever I know it's all a lie.

    We leave and today I call Comcast. As soon as you call it asks if you are calling about your data. Say yes and it directs the call to someone who only knows to say, "Read your contract and there is nothing you can do." They don't know anything. You need billing. Then why did it put the call to somewhere that can't help. It's the run around. The last guy I talked to is what is above. How can they be the only internet around. So I'm forced to pay by data now and I don't even get a better speed for being gypped. It's also wrong - I only got notified Friday. That Tuesday Nov 1st the change takes effect.

    Disappointed. I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer for almost two decades. I pay for high speeds and get intermittent internet. I call every week almost-- can't take the time to call more often and get FRUSTRATED. I spend 30 minutes with the first person resetting the modem (walking through their initial process - even after giving them the history) only to be told I will have to pay for a technician. After some complaining and explaining - they transfer me to a specialist who does speed tests and confirms what I am saying even though their test "say" the modem is working - he test each port on the modem (which is a new modem they replaced last week) and I have the same issue - tells me there is a line issue and my modem isn't performing correctly - technician reprograms the ports--retests it works awesome initially when they get it to carry more data--only to retest with the technician a few minutes later and the speed is low again.

    They say they need to send out a tech to look at the lines - COLD transfer me back to Xfinity without warning and when someone answers they start the process ALL OVER AGAIN - reset the modem charge me for tech - transfer me to specialist - another 3 hours wasted this week, last week - in this modern age and for $216 a month you would think you could work from home without distractions. I pay for the fastest package 115 mbps download and 25 mbps upload and receive random speeds throughout the day (between 9-80 mbps download and 2-22 mbps) upload - most often in the lower numbers with wireless monitoring showing "dropped" messages from my server and having to refresh pages and lose data regularly. Is there anyone out there who can help? I am attaching several speed tests from today during my calls between 10-12 a.m cst. What does a consumer do? Is there a dependable internet provider? It feels like they use their call systems to bully/frustrate the customer into submission.

    These people are unethical and disturbing oblivious to their customers needs. The internet speed tears are constantly changing and customers are being charged as the internet speeds change. For instance, when their "blast" service was first commissioned by me it was stated by Comcast that it was 100 Mbps. Now I see a $10.00 increase in my bill after 6 months and when speaking to a customer rep was told that it was not 100 Mbps but 75 Mbps and the blast in which I have had for 6 months plus was in fact 75 Mbps. The have added $10.00 to my bill for a service I already had. I told them to take it off and give me the 75 Mbps without the "blast" which I was told that it would put me to 25 Mbps. I will be shopping for another service. The end.

    Had Comcast. Overall the terrible experience everyone else is describing but there was no other provider in my area at the time, so we just dealt with it. Ultimately moved out of my apartment to an area that was serviced by other providers, so I called to cancel my account. Took forever, but finally get through, and take my hardware back to the store. KEEP YOUR RECEIPT. Had to deal with a debt collector for 9 months claiming I owed money for not returning the hardware. Luckily I had physical proof. I honestly would have just paid the $60 or whatever it was if I wasn't sure they'd just keep calling. Would deny liability, it would get kicked to a different debt collection agency, someone new would call me a few months later.

    FINALLY went away, but I will never use Comcast again. The best part is that when I'd call for customer service, they would "accidentally" disconnect my call. HINT: If you want to cancel services or complain, choose the option on the customer service menu for "add more services." They'll connect you to an agent immediately and you can ultimately get them to connect you to the right department directly. They'll probably still disconnect you a few times though.

When he came he informed us he could not do the installation due to our residence being brand new and there wasn't any type of line of cable to set it. We was told he would have to call a special tech to schedule a date the week after for him to do a burial for a line.

    The next week came a different tech came out said he couldn't do anything cause there needed to be a burial for the line. We told him the last guy said that and really we thought he was here to do the burial. He told us he was just a guy to set up installation for the modem. He informed us he would drop a line for this special tech to do a burial line and we would soon have our internet up and running by the next week. The same day our neighbours apparently was getting internet with Comcast as well. Their tech stole our line to hook up their internet and cable. We called the tech that came out that day who dropped the line and told him what happened. He ensured us it was ok and the special tech would drop another line when he comes out for the burial.

    The next week came Monday the tech was scheduled he never showed. We called Comcast. They told us they got behind and someone would come out Tuesday. Tuesday morning a tech came by told us he couldn't do anything. We needed a burial. We told him our story. He called his boss and told us there would be someone to come out to do a burial that same day. Well no one showed up.

    Here it is Thursday of the same week. I was on the phone with Comcast for almost 2 hrs this morning for them to tell us there will be another tech out on the 31st to a burial and set up installation and he is sorry he's just trying to give us options. Well the truth is there is no other options. No other internet service will provide us with service because of Comcast being in our area on Murfreesboro, TN. I'm stuck with Comcast.

    I have 3 children with game systems, phones and tablets. Not to mention now a days schools are switching to Apps for kids to do their homework on. Internet is becoming more of a need and not a want. So if it wasn't for my children I wouldn't be getting Comcast. And if there was another service I could get I would definitely be without Comcast. I've had their service in the past. The worst part about having them is their customer service. The bills do tend to go up in price without them informing you and I've had our service not work at times to where I had to reset the modem almost everyday. They need to do a better job with handling issues with customers that's spending money with their company.

    We got Xfinity on the first of July 2016. In the first week and a half, our internet was out, hours at a time, every single day. The first rep that was sent out to fix it said he didn't feel comfortable going in our crawl space so he told me I should reschedule another rep to come out. When I called to reschedule another rep, I learned that the rep that had been there that day, put in his notes that he changed out the splitter and fixed the problem. A couple of days later I had another rep come out with a trainee. They ran a bunch of test, but eventually fixed the problem... until I decided to add tv and security to my package with XFINITY. BIG MISTAKE!! With Comcast/XFINITY everything works off their internet. Cable and security all work off your internet connection. It's the worst setup I have ever encountered. If your internet goes out, not only do you not have internet, but you no longer have cable or security.

    Anyway, I added the cable and security package a little over a month ago. In this time, at least 2 days out of the week I have gone several hours at a time without internet, and thus, without security and cable as well. The last couple of nights have been the worst! Yesterday internet went out sometime while I was at work in the morning and didn't come back on until after 9 pm last night. Then it went out again sometime in the middle of the night and hasn't been on since. It is now 10:37 pm and I'm still without the services I pay for! XFINITY field tech are some of the worst I have ever encountered. When the tech came out to install cable and security he sat on his phone the whole time talking on the phone with buddies. I was suppose to get a Dvr box. I didn't get one.

    As for security, this bozo sets the door that he put the keypad next to as a door that never gets used, or as they like to call it, a sentry door. I didn't realize that until I tried getting out that door, a couple days later, and went to set the alarm, just to realize that I could not set the alarm from the inside because it would automatically set the alarm off. I had yet another tech come out 4 days later. This tech fixed the problem and in the process realized that a lot of the way my internet, cable and security was wired was not up to code. So he proceeded to "fix it" and in the process did something that started my whole very unreliable internet process again.

    I had another tech come out 3 days later. He checked wire reliability and ensured that all cables were connected tightly, both inside and outside. He even climbed the power pole. He said he found a loose cable, which he tightened, but just to make sure he even dispatched a bucket truck. The bucket truck arrived about an hour later. He went up the pole checked connections and came back down, just to tell me the same thing the previous tech told me.

    If I would have known this was going to be such a headache, I would have settled for a slower speed internet, paid a little bit more, and went with AT&T. I have had them before and their reliability was a million times better. The main two differences being AT&T works off of a dedicated fiber optics line where as XFINITY/Comcast is still working off of ancient copper wires. And none of AT&T's services piggyback off of any of their other services. They're all separate dedicated services, whereas All of XFINITY services rely on the internet connection. If the internet goes out, everything goes out.

    For no known reason, my internet went out on 10/23/2016 - it had been working very well since roughly 7/4/2016, which is shortly after I moved to a new apartment. The afternoon of 10/23, I was catching up with my friends on social media when the page failed to load and there was a message that said it would not load/could not be accessed. First I checked my Wifi links to my laptop and discovered that the Xfinity Wifi (an unsecured network) was active rather than my Home Base (a secured network); then I called the automated line to try to get my modem reset; finally, after waiting ages for the reset, the automated system transferred me over to the tech support line - something I had NOT requested.

    The rep was very rude and insensitive; first he laughed at me, then he cold-transferred me to another line. If I did not live in a historic building, I would have switched internet/cable providers LONG ago! And the cost! It's criminal. There's got to be a better way to get internet and cable TV - there's got to be a company that cares about its customers, treats them like human beings, and doesn't rob them blind. I feel like I'm stuck in a toxic relationship and can't escape.

    I used Comcast for approximately 4 years prior to ATT Uverse. Each customer service rep I had to speak with although seemed ethical, never was. I called to check their promos and was given what I thought was a great price for all three services, and for about 3 months my bill stated exactly what I was quoted. On the 4th month and every month thereafter the bill increased. I was never advised by my Comcast rep that there would be an increase in one year, but why would he if the plan for good for one year? Every month after that I had problems with my bill, always increasing.

    I finally had enough and after calling Comcast Customer Service and being transferred to three (3) different rep's I finally got a supervisor who after 2 hours on the phone with him had the audacity to tell me that the Comcast rep I originally had when I signed up with Comcast, didn't have the authority to offer me the original promotional price he offered. Well if the customer rep that answers the phone gives me a price should I ask for his credentials or his actual job description? Finally, I contacted ATT Uverse, who initially gave me a promotional price which has finally expired, but even then, UVerse didn't lie to me and kept track of any conversations or offers they gave me. I finally cancelled my service with Comcast and have been with UVerse ever since. I wouldn't go back to Comcast if my life depended on it. They are the worse, lying company I've ever done business with.

    I am on social security disability and am pretty much confined to my apartment. I got Comcast internet with 10MB for $14.99 a month for two years. Everything was ok until the next month when I got a letter in the mail addressed to me, not a bulk mailing. It offered 50+ channels for $19.99 a month for two years. It had all the channels I wanted. I decided to order it. When I called the representative, couldn't find that offer. After about a half hour she found one that had 35 channels for the same price. It had all the channels I was interested in so I ordered it. After they came and hooked it up I went to use it & could only get ten channels! Less than I was getting with my rabbit ears.

    After getting the runaround from 3 phone calls I was told they couldn't add the 35 channels to my internet, they had to put me in a bundle. This was never explained to me. This bundle was going to cost me $44.95 instead of $34.98!!! If I wanted to get the 35 channels it was going to cost me around $70.00 a month. Also the never told me I could get away without renting the box with the fancy voice activated remote. Since they had a "30 day guarantee" I told them I couldn't afford that price so just come and get the equipment & just give me back my 2 year $14.99 internet back. Well I was told the $14.99 internet was no longer available, only a $19.99 for one year. Asked to speak to a manager & was told there's nothing they could do it was no longer in the computer.

    I was the manager of a business that sold radio station equipment for ten years. We could manually change the price, description and terms on any item. There is no reason they couldn't go back & restore what I had. Especially since this whole problem was 110% their fault. I got nowhere with them, was so disgusted with the runaround, bait and switch tactics & totally unaware of what they were doing I just canceled the internet too. Comcast is the only show in town except for AT&T. I would never use AT&T because of a problem I had with them. I got a cell phone & internet plan from them. It had a two year contract but the price was right. I had windows 95 at the time. They sent me a windows 98 CD, which definitely wouldn't work.

    They sent me a total of 7 Windows 98 CD's. Since I couldn't get the internet, I told them I was cancelling it. Well they tried to get me to pay for the whole two year contract. They put that into collections which at last count had been resold. I believe it's like the tenth or eleventh company that has bought the "debt". The last one that called said that now with interest & all the fees was around $5000. When I explained about the Windows 95/98 disc problem she was so young she had no idea what Windows 95/98 was!!! L.O.L.

    So I bought an extender & give my landlord $10.00 to use his. Sometimes when he is playing games loading is real slow & I can't go and sit outside and use it. My only option is to get Metro PCS and use the phone as a hotspot but at $50.00 a month I just can't afford it. As it is I am struggling to get by on $1200.00 a month disability, with $700.00 rent & $120.00 electric plus food it doesn't leave too many discretionary $'s for Comcast's exorbitant $'s. How many people do you know living on less than $400.00 a month???

    So I am stuck with over the air TV & subpar internet to try and fight off cabin fever. Actually I don't know anyone who raves about either one of these monopolies. Comcast has made enough money with these shenanigans to buy NBC & Universal Studios and parks!!! And they treat customers like this. Same goes for AT&T.

    I made an account specifically to write a review for Comcast and their horribly rebranded "Xfinity" internet service. I moved away from NYC recently where we had Time Warner as our provider for TV, phone, and internet, and I'm starting to miss the days of having to call them once a month to sort out an issue. Xfinity is spotty at best even when it's working "properly". We do our best to turn the wifi off of all devices that aren't in use so there are at most 3 or 4 devices connected at a given time. The most intensive of which is generally only one device streaming and possibly a gaming console in use at the same time. Every other device is generally just browsing light web pages or news apps. Constant buffering and inconsistent connection speeds are always an issue. Whenever we reset the router and test the speeds we have a few minutes of decent speed before it goes down again.

    Beyond the slow and inconsistent connection speeds, at least once a day without fail the connection will drop entirely and we have to restart our modem. When calling Comcast we almost always get a nonsensical machine telling us that service is entirely down in the area, which is simply not true, because after a 10 minute restart process it's restored...for the time being. So getting ahold of anyone is a process in and of itself. When we finally get a human on the phone they clearly don't have any kind of acceptable training and are as blind to the issues as we are.

    Horrible service and the only reason we are sticking with it is because there literally aren't any other providers in this area. And this is without even getting into the issues with our television service. There genuinely isn't a rating low enough to give to this terrible service with even worse support. Even if on paper the alternatives aren't better, trust me, go with them instead. With the new 1TB data caps per month rolling out nationwide there is even less reason to give your money to these dirtbags.

They answer everything with "I have a promotion for you". I never get angry but after a month of trying to resolve our problems and being lied to over and over again I lost my cool and hung up.

    I have been having issues with my internet gateway (supplied by Comcast) for over a year. At least twice each day my gateway loses the connection and does a total reset. Not only does this interrupt my internet connection but also my phone service. Multiple times I have been on important telephones with clients only to have my phone service go dead. Not to mention all the times I have been using the internet for work and have it untimely disconnect. Over the past 12+ months I have made approximately three dozen calls to their support center and have had a dozen plus technicians come to my home. Unfortunately each time a technician is scheduled, I need to be home to wait for them.

    Unfortunately, none of the technicians have resolved the issue. The last time a supervisor came, changed a few wires, and gave me his number ** to call if I was still having issues. After placing 3 calls to him over the past 2 weeks he has not returned my call. Two people from their corporate office called and gave me their numbers. The first number (800) 597-6022 x-** has not returned my call after me leaving numerous voice messages. The second person (800) 597-6022 x-** at least answers her phone, however she has not been able to get the service supervisor to return my call.

    I don't think I am asking for too much. All I want them to do is resolve the issue. They can start by returning calls. Further attempt to resolve the issue by refraining from sending the same skill level technicians to my home. If the first 11 technicians with the same skill level could not resolve the issue what makes them think the 12th technician with the same skill level will do any better! It is really poor and unacceptable customer service when multiple calls to different company representatives are not returned.

I pay for service so that I can turn on my Smart TV and watch cable TV or use the internet when it is convenient for me. The repeated outages totally prevents convenience and the experience of enjoying the service. I believe Xfinity is only using temporary fixes for the outages instead of actually creating or replacing equipment for a permanent fix. It doesn't mater if it rains or shines, the service is temperamental.

    Since I have been with xfinity comcast have had problem with agents and supervisor giving different instructions every time you call them. Some were rude and not willing to help at all. There are a few who goes above and beyond to help. For instance, I spoke with a male manager, who had informed me that I should have not both the modem arris SB6183 (which cost $100) because they are not compatible with them. However, I specifically bought it because the previous agent informed me it was compatible and to make it worst the box for arris states COMPATIBLE WITH COMCAST. How can someone be a manager and doesn't know his equipments and be a good customer service. Very frustrating.

    Then I called them today to ask for a password for our internet service. The agent gave me their website knowing that it's my personal equipment so when I called again the next agent was unwilling to help and saying that the other agent should have not done that. I spoke with their manager again; this tiny female, and she said I should call the manufacturer for the modem to get the password. Again another manager who doesn't know what she was talking about. First all modem is not wifi can't do password. It needs to be my wifi router. Unless she thought it is router and modem together but she shouldn't have because they saw in their system - that's it's my personal modem with its model number which is modem only. What kind of people are they are hiring.

Have been with comcast for years, spent thousands of dollars and just didn't want to focus on changing services. I have multiple services to choose from and will be spending the time to change after this fiasco.

    So I have had Comcast in the past and my recent experience brought back suppressed memories. The sales representative made a mistake on my install date which I found out on the day of when no one showed up to install my equipment. He never apologized for it. He knew I was busy and was not able to accommodate me when I needed the time rescheduled. I opted for self-install because I was already without Internet and it was unsuccessful. I kept on being transferred to India with no resolution when they attempted to activate the signal. There is no such thing as customer service with Comcast, there is no customer satisfaction. They should be out of business.

    I was experiencing some technical difficulties with my on demand service in June. Technical support solution to this problem was to reset my box. After a couple of attempts they seemed to have the system up and running. The support rep asked me if I was able to access any movies. I said yes. He said "you're all set". This problem happened again in July. They redid the whole previous process again. Again telling me it's all set. In August my fiance called regarding an entirely different issue, went to automated system, told him his account balance was almost $500.00. We thought that had to be a mistake. After speaking with the billing dept we found out there was over 100 on-demand movies ordered in 1 month.

    I was really confused due to I had a lock on the service & a code would be needed to make any purchase. I did not give anyone this code. Apparently, when tech support reset my boxes it wiped out all of my parental settings. So, my 5 yr old son was able to order anything he wanted to watch. A little over 100 movies and episodes. I made 5 phone calls about this issue in the following 2 days. Comcast/Xfinity refused to remove the charges saying the movies and episodes were watched. The supervisor I requested to speak to never called me back. Finally I spoke to a rep that reviewed the account and got a supposed supervisor to approve a credit to my account due to our history not showing these sort of purchases before or any incidences like this.

    She went on to say she would need to split the credit into 2 due it exceeding her credit applying limit. She thanked me for being a loyal customer and we hung up. Well, after making a payment earlier this week I come home to find my service interrupted. It was too late to speak to anyone at 9:30 pm so I called the following afternoon. Only to find out after we hung up after that call in August, there was a so called review which lead to someone determining the credits would not to applied to my account due to the movies and episodes were all watch. Even though their technical support wiped out my parental settings and told me I was all set. I am so dissatisfied with this whole experience I am returning my equipment. I will never be a Comcast/Xfinity customer ever again.

    We have been with Comcast for less than 6 months. 1st of all when setting up our cable & Internet & security system they sent an unprofessional individual who spent over 10 hours setting these services up in our home - very uncomfortable and so glad we had no plans to leave our home that day. Second of all we have had poor connection with the Internet since day 1. We called for a technician to come out and it took 1 week to send someone out... This is not our main complaint. Our main complaint is that the "technician" they sent out was another unprofessional employee who ended up running exposed wires from the middle of our cul de sac through our neighbors yard and our yard in order for us to have "working Internet".

    We were a little taken aback by this form of set up and asked when these exposed wires would be buried. The unprofessional "technician" then informed us he would submit for another technician to come out & bury the wires. After 2 business days we had not heard from any "follow up technician" and so on the 3rd business day after our Internet was "fixed" we called in to find out what was going on with burying the exposed wires. We spoke to a Wanda and were told that no one had submitted a "fix it ticket"! After explaining to her everything we had gone through, she then said that a technician would be calling us to come out soon.

    After waiting 2 more days from talking to Wanda we decided to call back and find out when this "technician" was scheduled to come out. We ended up speaking with a Mrs. ** who also told us that we still had no "fix it ticket" in the system!! She then heard the WHOLE story and told me that she would call me later that day (yesterday) and let me know who would be coming out but that I should have been told it would take 14 days to fix. I was like - "14 additional days... Cause it's already been 1 full week since these wires have been exposed"...

    So I never heard from Mrs. ** as she promised and I called in today and spoke with someone who told me they live in the Philippines and explained EVERYTHING yet AGAIN and long story short... My husband is on the phone STILL trying to get this resolved before September 12th as we were told today is when they are sending a "technician" out to bury our exposed wires. I am writing this because unfortunately Comcast is NOT WORTH USING! They have not apologized or resolved our issues!! We will be getting Apple TV & or Netflix after this! Please be warned... This is an unprofessional company that does not deserve our hard earned money or time!

    Well, I moved to Chattanooga from Atlanta for a new career venture. I haven't purchased cable for at least 4 yrs now because I stream everything and I firmly believe cable tv is a waste of money that will soon be obsolete. Back to topic, I opted for Xfinity/Comcast over Chattanoogas EPB mostly because it was familiar and cheaper. I got a pretty decent deal coming from a previously handsome employee management discount with ATT. Although UVerse was even worse than Xfinity/Comcast, I put up with it because it was so cheap. So, Comcast. Good deal. Great internet speed. No contract.

    The first issue arose after a month and a half in. I kept getting a notification that I was about to reach my data limit and would be charged $10 per gig if I went over. I was never informed of data caps when I purchased. If so, I would have opted for EPB because they have none and I stream a lot. I can't have a data cap of 600gigs a month. So I called to complain and cancel. I had already contacted EPB and set up an install date. I'm not sure why but I called Comcast again to inquire more about the data cap and to tell them that I wasn't paying for overages. I was then informed that Comcast had decided to raise the data caps to 1050gigs. I was assured that I would never reach it so I decided to stay with Comcast.

    Now that that was resolved it was back to my regular schedule until I noticed that my internet speeds were gradually getting slower. Then over the past 3 weeks, the internet connection started dropping. I called and was told it was my router. That it was damaged and needed to be exchanged for a new one. I never got around to getting a new router but it kept dropping at the same time every day between 7 pm & 9 pm. So I contacted them again and the Rep fixed the issue and told me that the problem wasn't my router but the way it was wired.

    So after rewiring it was working fine but now it's not only getting slower every day but the connection drops frequently. Still between certain hours but always after 6 pm. It's so bad now that it's dropping the connection at least every 30 to 45 mins. That's just this evening and even now at 12:55 am EST. I have two choices... Wait between 7-10 mins for the router to reboot and reconnect on its own once the connection returns or I manually unplug and force a reboot which takes a while as well and still does not guarantee a connect even after all the lights are solid and flashing.

    Now I have the Xfinity My Account app which NEVER says there is a reported outage but instead just informs me that my router is not connected to the internet. I can also restart via the app but it's useless too. I've finally had enough. I'm leaving Comcast behind. It's become a complete hassle. I'm paying for services that I can only enjoy up until 6 pm daily. I'm at my wits end. Comcast is officially the worst internet service in the nation. I mean Uverse is extremely slow but I could at least depend on that slow connection. It rarely went down... Even in storms but with Comcast I can't even keep a connection. If you have Comcast do yourself a favor and rid yourself of it.

    Every single time I have a service outage I have to call and spend roughly 10 minutes -15 minutes on the phone to get a service credit. They give out credits based on the time the internet was down so it ends up being only like a dollar. The problem is they KNOW my address is under a service outage but they put zero effort into identifying customers effected by the outage and they DO NOT apply credits automatically, rather they WAIT UNTIL A CUSTOMER CALLS, to apply the credit.

    The catch 22 is that IS A 15 MINUTE PHONE CALL TALKING TO A WALL WORTH A DOLLAR? They basically steal people's credits by making them waste time calling in so that ultimately it won't be worth it. TERRIBLE BUSINESS PRACTICE. Customer service reps, while repetitive, honestly try their best with irate customers such as myself, and their job is highly under appreciated as well as they're not given the tools to solve issues on the front line. Comcast is a semi monopolistic cable provider and their service shows it. Their TRASH company will ultimately fail if other providers break into the market.

    I have Comcast only because in my area there is only the choice of the "two evil giants", AT&T and Comcast which results in a stranglehold, illegal trust-like (monopoly) grip on consumers. Everything was working as well as could be expected (for Comcast) up until 2AM last Friday when my Internet suddenly went dead. My computer was receiving the router and modem just fine, all lights on as normal, but I could not open any web pages. Just an error message page from Xfinity.

    I called and I was told that my modem was "end-of-life" (Motorola Surfboard SB 6121, DOCSIS 2.0) and was no longer being supported, so it was REMOVED FROM MY ACCOUNT! THEY CUT ME OFF! I only bought it ONE YEAR ago. Hell, my cell phone is SEVEN years old and still works fine! I was told my options would be to rent a newer one from them or go buy a new one. UNACCEPTABLE for Comcast to dictate to me how I spend my money. Mind you, I am still paying for my Internet service, which I am not getting. A new modem costs $125. To rent from Comcast is $10/month. So If I buy one, it won't pay for itself for 12.5 months. By then, are they going to cut me off again and force me to buy yet another newer modem???

    First they told me they could not put the modem ID numbers back in my account by phone, that I had to drive across town to a Comcast store with my own modem and have it done there. After my threats of leaving Comcast for AT&T, they agreed to put my modem ID numbers back in my account and tried unsuccessfully to get a signal to the modem.

    After many aggravating hours over four days (I'm talking like full-time job hours!) I managed to get on the phone with a reasonable Level III Technician who told me he agreed that it should be up to the consumer when to replace their own equipment, especially if it was still working. He got the ID number replaced again, but still wasn't able to get it connected. Finally, I was scheduled to wait two days for 2 service techs to come out to the house to investigate my lines. But my lines were all BRAND NEW from the utility pole all the way to the modem, as I had replaced the roof on my house three weeks earlier and all the lines had to be cut and replaced (by Comcast).

    SO... AND HERE'S WHAT YOU ALL SHOULD DO. I filed a complaint with my State Attorney General Consumer Protection Division AND the same with the FCC!! I said it was fraudulent business practices to cut off paying customers from services in order to coerce them into renting or buying new equipment at Comcast's discretion. In addition, that since there are only two providers in my area, it is still not unlike an illegal trust situation. Apparently, the FCC agrees that I have a case. They immediately forwarded my complaint to Comcast.

    Within hours, I had the "Indian call center" contact me to offer me a credit to my account and to attempt to restore my service at once. It so happened that the service techs showed up just at the same time. They found filters were installed on my lines and removed them, then they found that the ID number the phone techs put in was one digit wrong!!! I only repeated the correct numbers about 8 times! End of story, they got everything running. Speed test shows I'm getting 57 mbps while I'm paying for 75 mbps, but all you "techies" know that's to be expected. I may go out and buy the SB 6190 (DOCSIS 3.0) when I can afford the $125 - BUT THAT'S UP TO ME!

Then show up on a Friday afternoon to bury such cables weeks afterwards, cut your house internet line, and ruin your front yard while working. Upon calling about their own technicians disabling your internet, they expect for you to wait four days later without any internet service. To top it off, a service supervisor will then tell you that a dispatch ticket was created for someone to come to your house the following day, but it turns out to be the same ticket number for that appt. four days later. Upon calling to explain the situation they keep you on hold for nearly 40 minutes, then the line cuts off. No one calls you back either.

Comcast now says my previous service is 'no longer offered', and my new 3X-priced service is my lowest cost option. It's not a technical issue - they offer my former service at my former price to new subscribers, but not to existing customers. What Comcast is doing is surcharging existing customers and using that money to subsidize 'teaser' pricing for new customers. Those 'teaser' plans will be yanked after the promo ends, and those customers will end up being surcharged to subsidize teaser rates for the next round of saps.

    Our WiFi had stopped working in our apartment, so we made an appointment for someone to come and fix it. It said they'd be here from 3-5 and they ended up showing up at around 630. He said that the apartment needed to be rewired, and that he'd have to get someone else to come and fix it. So he made an appointment for me right there. The soonest available appointment was about a week later on a Thursday from 1-3. My boyfriend took off work to be home that day to let the guy in. However, no one showed up. He looked on the website and the app, and it said no appointment was scheduled. So he called Comcast and they said the guy came and had to come back the next day to finish. This was kind of odd because no one ever came to our apartment. And they never called us to tell us they were coming either like they're supposed to.

    So Friday, the next day, someone was supposed to come back and finish it. Well no one ever showed up. We called Comcast again, which is really annoying because every time you call them you speak to a new person and have to re-explain your whole situation to them and they're not very helpful. The person on the phone said that someone came on Friday, but no one was home and that they left a thing on the door saying they came. Well that's ** because my boyfriend was here the whole time and no one came. There wasn't anything left on the door either. So they basically lied to us. I doubt anyone actually came on that Thursday either. (They said the work would need to be done outside so we might not see them. But you think they would've still had to come inside and let us know they're there right?) So anyway then they said someone would come on Monday.

    They finally came on Monday and fixed it. But for about 3 weeks we didn't have internet. We haven't gotten our next bill yet, but they better not charge us for those 3 weeks. It was hard to get in contact with a real person (you have to go through this whole automated phone thing) and then like I said you have to explain your situation over and over again.

    This morning I checked my bank account and was not at all surprised to find a withdrawal from Comcast. I immediately called and the rep I spoke to wasted almost 2 hours of my time just to tell me she can't find any account charge so she can't do anything about it. I again had to ask for a manager, who instantly said he found the charge and would refund it. I now have to wait 5-7 business days for a refund check for a charge I was repeatedly promised would not be made. The worst customer service in the nation. Will never be a Comcast customer again. I am willing to pay MORE money at this point for literally any other provider.

    Without Internet over 30 days and still being charged - Back in May of 2016 we started having issues with our Internet so when you call they try and reset modem. In May it worked enough to barely get my daughter through her online class. Continued resetting then later in June we were sick and done called for technician. Tech came out. Changed box. Said we had the wrong one and some new wires needed to be replaced. Next technician was late, then it turned into a no-show. Next tech replaced a modem again said previous tech was wrong. Next service call they ran new wire and thought it was fixed. I called Xfinity for reimbursement and they stated 30.00 was all we could be reimbursed. I even had to go up on my mobile data from 12gb to 25 to sustain our use.

    I spoke with credit services and they quoted me 80.00 which I feel is fair. Then the manager turns around calls me back and states 30.00 is all they can reimburse me. I argued and asked to speak to her supervisor which will be 48 to 72 hours. In the middle of our conversation the Internet stopped working again and we're filming dates and times. Now this will be the 5th time someone has been out to service our Internet. So do not do refreshes for signal, call for a technician!

    I read all about Comcast's customer service reps and was prepared for a nightmare. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the sales rep Sally. She helped me set up my new internet deal Lickity Split. People complain about how things weren't part of their agreement or other things of the sort. My advice if you're preparing to wrestle with Comcast reps go in prepared and be firm on your choice but also be polite and you'll find a much more pleasant experience than that which you read about.

    So I tried to hook my printer up to my network through the provided modem through Comcast. I called in last night to get the USB port on the back to have it enabled, which is what the chat rep told me to do. I spoke to 3 different agents, none of which spoke or even understood English. No matter how much I explained it to them they kept asking me if I was trying to hook my internet up through the USB. So at that point I was pretty pissed.

    The next day, today, I called in and got an agent who spoke and understood English, thank god. I was told that it would be an "easy fix" and they would transfer me to an Advanced Network Tech. I said OK and waited on hold for about 30 minutes. I got to the new tech and explained my issue and first off he laughed at me. Second he told me the USB ports on the back do not even work. Being mad that no one told me this before, I proceed to ask why they sell/rent them that way. He said it isn't something they care enough to fix and then said have fun and hung up on me.

    I have had nothing but problems with Comcast ever since I started using them in 2010. But the only reason I use them is I have to. They strong-arm everyone else that is decent out so they own the area. They outsource to people who do not speak or understand English when there are millions without jobs here in the US who have a firm grasp on the language. They do not care about their customers so much that they lie to them over and over and we have to deal with it because we have no other options because of their corrupt practices of getting others out of the area. This is why people want Google Fiber!

    The internet service Comcast provides is a royal pain. Not only do you not get anywhere near (not even half) of the speeds you pay for, it is constantly plagued with drops and DNS issues. Where I live, there are not many alternatives or I would have switched months ago. If you call Comcast they tell you to reboot the modem even if you tell them the history and that you have already tried that numerous times. One would hope in this day and age an ISP would be reliable, reasonably priced and FAST. Comcast done not seem to be any of those - at least in the internet arena.

    2 - 3 weeks ago I started having problems with my internet. Sometimes it would work perfect and I would get 70MB+ download speed, other times it would drop to ~2MB… I work from home and I am constantly using Skype to stay in touch with co-workers and clients, you can do this with 2MB d/l. I immediately followed the normal, try to unplug the wireless modem and plug it back in, no change. I called in and used their automated system to reset the modem, no change. I had a modem that was not being rented from Comcast so they were reluctant to send a service tech out to help and pretty much just blamed the problem on the modem. I called the modem provider followed their troubleshooting, no change.. they assured me the problem was with Comcast…

    Here comes the fun part. I decide to get a modem from Comcast so I can get a tech out to resolve the problem. I have three options: 1. Get it shipped for $10, 2. Have it delivered and installed by a tech for $50, 3. Pick it up myself for free. Being the kind of person that likes to save money, I go with option 3. The woman at Comcast I spoke to told me I could go to their Leominster MA location (I live in NH). When I get to the Comcast service center I am told that their modems are for MA residents only…. Great. First Big issues.

    Finally, I get a Comcast modem back to my house, get it all set up and turn on my wi-fi devices. Not only do I experience the same problem, but now it is much, much worse. I reconnect my personal modem and call to have a tech come out to resolve the problem, this was on a Friday. They explained a tech would be out Monday to fix the problem, but the fun part is they could not give me ANY time frame, just “sometime Monday” and they will call before they show up.

    Monday comes around it's noon and still no word. I get on Comcast chat support and they assure me someone will be here as scheduled… 4 o’clock comes around, I get on Comcast chat, they assure me someone will be here as scheduled. No one ever showed. Now I’m mad. First thing Tuesday morning I give Comcast a call. They never rescheduled an appointment after the one missed Monday, and they refuse to set me up a same day appointment. The only time he could offer me was Wednesday between 9am-12am (at least it’s not a 24 hour window). He scheduled it and I told him I needed to talk to his manager, he understood and told me I would receive a call from his manager with 1-2 hours. The manager never called.

    On Wednesday morning I receive a voicemail from Comcast confirming my appointment for between 6pm – 7pm… What the actual **. 5:25pm comes around and the tech pulls up in front of my house, sits in his van for 35 minutes until 6pm (my two big dogs were not pleased). He comes in my house for about 10-15 minutes plugs his stuff into my modem, checked to make sure the wire wasn’t loose and says it seems normal, and that they will be back the next day (Thursday) to replace the line from the telephone pole to my house. The guy literally did nothing else.

    All day Thursday no one came… surprise, surprise. Here we are today on Friday I get in touch with a person from Comcast, nothing was scheduled for anyone to come out to my location and resolve my issue. They tell me that I should expect a call from a tech to schedule another appointment. I won't hold my breath. Comcast has left a permanent bad taste in my mouth. This is literally the worst customer service I have EVER received. It is amazing your company is still in business.

    My Comcast cable box last night went into de-programmed mode by itself and would only receive Spanish language, could not change it back to English, tried many times, reverted on its own with no help from Comcast. I had to take the box into the Comcast center today and get a new box and remote. Both had to be reprogrammed with about two hours to make the basics work. Then an hour or more on the phone with tech support. The channels with the X-1 new box do not match the old cable box channels.

    I need a channel guide with the actual channels and what is located on them (for local reception) sent to me in the mail so I can decrypt how things line up in HD. With just getting the box today (X-1), the remote does not operate as did the last one. So we are pressing the remote channel # that are not related to what we were previously watching seeing with the old remote. There is no set of instructions included on how to use the remote other than the basics and not instructions on how to troubleshoot problems. No user guide for the cable box. Just the box and the remote with electric cables.

    The person in tech support tried to help and provide but was not always clear on what was going on at my end (confused, possible language issue), and did not have a concept of the previous non-functioning box and this new one and the dissociation between the two, also the difference with the new remote which is not user friendly.

    My problem is that we pay near $240.00 a month for service that is poor with a phone system with delays, breaks in service, God help us if the power goes off, we are dead in the water, and an internet that is not as fast as published. The ping test says something else, that what we are seeing on our end with speed and consistency is not what they show in the test. The TV works but there are delays getting to channels and again it is not user friendly without any instructions, and a lack of a good channel guide that can be easily downloaded with the actual channels that are in our area. We think the service is too expensive for what we get and I cannot understand why the government with all the complaints that have been filed has not done something to get us rebates from Comcast since the cost is way more than I think it should be for what services we receive.

    Comcast is the WORST company I have EVER dealt with. I have been trying for 3 weeks now to get service with them, because unfortunately they are the ONLY internet providers in our new neighborhood! Unless we want DSL which is impossible since I need the Internet for my work. I keep getting the runaround with this company and no one is properly trained with the correct information. Then their agents you contact who are in other states such as Illinois or Mississippi who tell you they are going to follow up on how service is coming along never do.

    Training of staff needs to be updated so that they are all on the same page instead of having techs who come to the house and tell you they cannot install inside because the cable hasn't been buried outside the new home and then contacting an agent on the phone who says "yes they can install inside without the cable being buried", or another agent who says "oh, even if that tech had been on time he couldn't have done the work inside because the cable isn't buried yet". All of this may have been avoided to begin with if the second agent I spoke with on the phone on June 24th had not dismissed my call telling her the house was a new construction to begin with and I was told may need to have line buried outside...

    To top it off when a tech came out to bury the line two weeks later we are told that who installed the fire hydrant crushed the cable pipe so now Comcast needs to contact 811 so they can mark where Comcast can bury the line as to not bust any pipes themselves. They tell us it will take 24-48 hours to do so, which would have been July 7th or July 8th and then he (the tech to bury the line) would be back that weekend, July 9th or 10th. Here we are a week from July 6th and 811 STILL had not been contacted to come out. I know this because I called them on July 10th myself as well as just now. Comcast is the WORST company I have dealt with! So if you have any other choice in your area, take it! I know I would.

    The company is a nightmare to get something solved. Their Customer practice is unethical. For example, they first offer on the phone an XFinity Home (an alarm service for the house) as a free service included in the service. Then, when the workers come to install/fix the service, they bring an agreement of 2 years to sign. After that, it begins a nightmare of constant phone calls, asking you, "Why do you cancel?".

    In the meantime, the worker who came to fix/install your system can't go on working. Today, we spent more than 50 minutes, answering the same questions to 3 different Xfinity clerks trying to sell us more stuff. After that, you just want to get rid of them as quickly as possible: the phone clerks insist that they have to talk with the owner (you, looking your clock to rush somewhere) again, and again. Besides, at the point that you were able to have somebody in your house to just fix the speed of your internet service, you have talked to at least 10 persons, you even walked in their store, you still don't have anything solved, and your account climbs again because nothing that you agreed "is in their system".

    I was a good customer for years. Recently, I called to move my service, as we were moving to a new house. Much to my dismay, I was told that Comcast doesn't service the area that I moved to, so, I was forced to get a different carrier. I was initially sad to lose the service, but there wasn't another option. I was told at that time that I would be receiving a refund check for 141.00 and some change. Ok. Great! Today, I got a call from their collections department asking for 98.00, due to the charge of an early termination fee in the amount of 210.00. WHAT??? So, I call Comcast (admittedly, I have NEVER liked calling them or dealing with their customer service department) and I waste about 45 minutes of my life on the phone arguing with them about this bogus charge.

    After several repeated conversations with their customer service representative, I finally got to a supervisor, "Robert". Robert offered to discount my bogus early cancellation fee by 50%. Now, that would be a great deal if I had actually broken my contract, but since COMCAST doesn't service my area, I don't really see how the break in my contract was on my end. I argued with Robert extensively about this bogus charge.

    After several minutes of intense conversation, in which they steadfastly refused to remove the bogus charge, and I assured them that I would spread the word regarding the business piracy tactics that they employ, I agreed to the 50% off of a ridiculous fee and will be getting a check for 7.02 instead of the 141.00 that I was supposed to receive. I would absolutely, under no circumstances, ever for any reason suggest that anyone go with Comcast for their cable or internet services.

    COMCAST/ Xfinity offers the worst customer service. I was paying $34 for the modem and my internet service. I wouldn't complain about the internet service going in and out because yes, it was inexpensive. Almost 12 months with them, I started receiving calls that my bill will go back to the normal price, $79.99, if I didn't change to another promotional price and added TV. I'm not a big fan of watching TV. Ok so I went ahead and picked a bundle for $49.99 a month. My services went off for 7 days when I saw 2 Xfinity men tampering with the Xfinity box outside of my residence. I called customer service, told them I was not going to pay my bill ahead if my services were not up and running. She said, "I can send a technician to the residence to solve the problem at the cost $50." I told her I'd rather cancel than pay someone to fix something 2 Xfinity employees tampered.

    She informed me that she can waive that fee. I said, "ok if you're going to waive that fee then I'll pay my bill whenever I get my service restored." 4 days later, I arrived home my service were restored. I called the next day to check on my bill and see if the service was waived and if I received a credit into my account for being off 7 days. They informed me that my bill was $33 so I went ahead and paid it. Month after that, my bill shows $141. I called and questioned them and they said that "The fee wasn't waived, it's $99. We're sorry for who ever misinformed you but you still have to pay the fees.'' "A sorry doesn't pay the bills,'' I said.

    She went ahead and said, "we can credit half." I said, "ok we can do that." I asked, "So how much is my bill now?''. She said, "$116." "That is not half off the service man, that's just 25% off. They told me it was $99 for the service man," and she said, "That service man was $50. Sorry again for being misinformed. I'm just holding on the line." In my mind these people don't know what to say anymore or what to lie about with Xfinity. I've always paid my bill a month ahead.

    Comcast is literally the gold standard for horrific customer service! That is what they are most known for. The term "Comcast bad" is an actual term I have heard used in daily conversation regarding poor customer service. Until recently, I had never actually experienced it. The legend certainly lived up to the hype. It started when I was charged an extra $120 for exceeding my internet data usage cap that I didn't even know existed. Had I have known, I would have certainly curbed my usage or altered my service plan. I have been a Comcast customer for years and never had a data cap. Suddenly, my usage is being restricted to 300 gb a month. Anyone who uses Netflix will exceed that in 1 week. This is where the real issues began. I called to speak with a representative to discuss the new internet data cap which took being transferred to 4 different people (each person requiring me to spell out all of my personal info and give a description of my issue).

    The customer rep I finally spoke to was extremely dismissive of my issue and told me I was informed though my Comcast provided email about the new policy. Ultimately, I requested to add unlimited data for an additional $35 a month to avoid any further charges until I could go through all of my mail to see if I had actually been notified. I wasn't. Then my next bill came and I had a $160 internet cap overage fee. I called Comcast yet again. I began my call at 11:30 am and didn't finish until 7 pm. Throughout that time, I was transferred to dozens of reps (again having to spell out all of my personal info and give a description of my issue to each of them). Every time I was making progress, I would be placed on hold and my call would get disconnected. This happened five times!

    It is unbelievably frustrating to have to call the basic customer service line and providing every detail about you, your account, and your issue to someone you knew was going to just transfer you to do it all over again with someone else who can't help you. It takes a good 4 or 5 times of getting transferred until you get someone who isn't reading from a script. Throughout that time I did speak with someone who was able to verify that I should have had unlimited service, and also revealed that the Comcast provided email address they sent my notifications to was not even mine. I got 1 of the 2 charges resolved before the fifth time I was disconnected. At that point I literally thought, I would rather pay $120 than have to call Comcast again.

    This should have been a 5 minute process. I should have been able to send a simple email to the Comcast customer service group requesting that my service be turned off at the end of this month. But Comcast does not conduct business via email, so I decided to give their poor chat session a try to see if that would fulfill my needs. Needless to say, it did not. The poor girl was so poorly trained, that I thought that she might have a serious problem with the English language or was possibly dyslexic. Every time I would send a question her way, she would either ignore it, or give me a answer that had nothing to do with my question.

    Eventually I gave up and when I attempted to print out the entire conversation so I could actually post it here, I could only get the first page of the conversation to print out. Unbelievable. So you will have to trust me when I say that Comcast is quite possibly the worst cable provider on the face of the earth and please do not use them if you can avoid them. I had to use them as they were the only provider in my apartment community in Lynchburg VA.

    I would also like for everyone to know that even getting into a chat session on a Sunday morning at approximately 11:00 a.m. also took several attempts on my part. The browser states that your chat will begin shortly but after waiting over 10 minutes watching the stupid little lines spin, and spin, and then spin some more, I jumped out and tried to get back in via a different topic. After about 2 more minutes of spinning lines, I finally got the most incompetent representative ever in my 60 years of life on planet earth. Bottom line. If you can avoid Comcast I would highly recommend it. I will not try to point you in a direction towards any other cable provider, but if I can get at least 1 family/person not to sign up with Comcast I feel that this endeavor was worth my time and effort.

    I went in to trade in my old DVR for a newer one. I waited for a whole hour before being called to see a service rep. She asked me what I was there for even though she knew full well what I was there for. I told her I was there to exchange my DVR. I told her I wanted a regular HD DVR not an X1. At this point all I wanted was to get what I came for and go home. I knew the whole point of keeping customers in there was to sell them more products. I cut to the quick and told her exactly what I wanted. She asked 'why, have you tried the X1 before?' Clearly trying to make a sales pitch. When I told her to just give me what I asked for her whole attitude changed and she became rude and sullen.

    Started slamming things on the counter. She fished out a DVR set behind her and printed out a receipt for me to sign. I signed it and I was set. The whole encounter took less than 5 minutes. Why was I in there for an hour for a transaction that took less than 5 minutes to complete? I HATE COMCAST. Your customer service SUCKS! You pretend to be all about your customers but all you're about is the bottom line. You've closed most your service centers, left only a few open causing massive backlogs. You've outsourced your telephone service reps out to China or wherever the hell those people are. I know they're not in the US. You SUCK Comcast. I will definitely NOT be renewing my contract when it's up next year.

    While my entire relationship with Comcast has been nothing short of a nightmare today absolutely takes the cake and forces me to take pen in hand and vent my frustration with this company. For the last 2 years we have had nothing but trouble with our service but in the last 2 months it has been so bad that we have lost internet service on a regular basis and 2 weeks ago completely, this despite numerous visits from various technicians.

    Today due to a problem with our DVR box, it crashes every 5 minutes or so, we scheduled an appointment for a replacement. The tech shows up after getting lost only tell us that he had no DVR box on his truck and in fact had no idea that that was the reason for the visit. My wife told him to go get out and go home. Apparently he contacted his supervisor who told him to use whatever he had in his truck to replace our unit, which he did. That did not work and he told us he had to go get the correct unit and would return shortly, that was over 2 hours ago and no sighting so far. So we called Comcast to find out what the deal was and we're told that they were looking for him but he was MIA, his department was closed and no one was available.

    This is a chronic problem in that after calling, waiting, being put on hold, no one ever reads the notes, so when they arrive for the appointment they are clueless why they are even there. Wasting your time is of no consequence to them. Taking pride in their service is not on the radar of this company. "Sign you up move you on" should be their motto.

You try and fast forward through commercials and it will keep going for a couple of minutes before resuming normal. Try and go back is the same thing. It is useless to have a forward or reverse.

    Where to start... I guess it's due to the monopoly that they have no reason to service customers. I moved into a Xfinity-only area and after 2 days, I could not be more dissatisfied. I've experienced no less than 5 errors, 2 related to channel lineup, 2 related to erroneous overbilling. (It's never underbilling is it?!) The most hilarious tale of incompetence was when they added a $10 charge for a rented modem when I added channels and I called to ask them to remove it as I own my own modem - instead of removing the charge, they added a second charge just for kicks. (As if I had 2 rented modems!!) I called back and the agent this time said he can't authorize it and he's submitted a ticket which will take 7-10 days to correct. He also suggested I call back before 7 days because 'this process isn't perfect!' I wish I had any other option than Comcast but they have a monopoly here. About time that changed.

    I don't even know where to start. Well I got Comcast internet hooked up in 2012 and besides little issues I never had a problem UNTIL March of 2015! I have had about 30 modem/routers hooked up in my home always the same continuous problem. Speeds are fine, 0 packet loss, but the one major problem is my ping times are reaching 200-300 ms at random times. It took me 3 calls to corporate office to finally get their ** moving last June and it took them up to the end of October to finally find a massive noise (SNR) issue in the lines. Since Nov 8th of 2015 my cable internet has been garbage. I cannot play any online games on the Xbox one, ports opened, tried DMZ, tried everything you could possibly think of including spending $800 of my own money to buy the best modem router combo, still didn't work.

    I filed a complaint with the FCC and Comcast said they did everything possible to help me. Everything? Yeah not really. If they did everything I would be able to play with lag-free gaming with 170mbps down and 12 mbps up. The higher-up guy at Comcast sent me a letter stating there's nothing else they can do, so what am I supposed to do now? It is the only ISP in my major area besides Verizon DSL and who wants 2mbps dl that's terrible!

    As of today June 30, 2016 I have just hooked up their brand new Arris gateway and running constant tracer routes and ping test and am still seeing ping going as high as 350ms. I contacted corporate office today and they said basically "you pay the money, we do nothing to fix your issue because our techs ran a speed test". LMAO a speed test WOW! These people just ** on you and they don't care! They did offer to send another tech to run a speed test but I would get charged if they didn't find anything. So I'm basically stuck paying for blast internet and can just search the web on my laptop. Awesome, I got Comcast screwed.

    I don't wish Comcast on my worst enemy!! I really believe they try to get customers and after 3 months when the contract is "official" this is when all the problem pops up. So I signed up with Comcast for internet and cable. I explained to the representative that I am working with a budget and I will like to hear options and best offer. Fast forward...the package I chose was $113.00 keeping in mind it was almost the end of the month and they charged me for the entire month. A week passed by. I got another bill for the upcoming month. Okay cool. I paid it thinking my cycle be said amount from now on.

    After my three months passed I got a letter in the mail stating that I was not charged for one of the boxes, therefore, they will have to add it to my bill. My bill went up to 126.00! I called to express my disappointment and disgust but you know the representative will be reading that script and keep saying, "I am sorry. I understand," to me. No!! You don't understand!! We had a verbal agreement!! Anyway nothing was done on their end to make me happy. I paid my bill.

    Next month I got my bill. It was $139.00. I was irate. I called again. Same crap about increase and taxes, and the whole works. Next month was $169.00. Some guy said my service was disconnected and it wasn't. I paid my bill and the customer representative I spoke with said he will waive the charge. He assured me that he just did it and my bill will be $110 next cycle. Well my bill came around and it's $134.00. I called again and another rep is telling me taxes went up and blah, blah...

    Well Comcast never disappoint. I went to check my mailbox today. Got a letter stating that I've been provided high definition and was not being charge for it. As a result they will be disconnecting it on the 28th July or I can add it for $9.99. The letter was so unprofessional. No dates. It wasn't signed. It was very vague. As usual their customer rep couldn't help but just poured out a bag of crap and said to me they gave me the wrong box. These people cannot be serious. I wish I read the reviews before I signed up.

When I call, they always give me the "I see you are a loyal customer and here's what I'm gonna do for you" spiel. This last time, my bill jumped almost $40 a month. When I called, the gentleman said I needed the new equipment so he would send someone out to replace it free of charge. Then, my bill came and it had done up another $28 with the new equipment.

    Telling my story of woe to several people, they all pretty much said the same thing. We could have kept our old equipment so I called to tell them to bring it back. Talking to the operator, she said they could come and get the new equipment but my bill would stay the same as with the new equipment AND, I would be charged $39.99 for the service call. Beyond frustrated as this went on for 3 weeks and the first appt. for a service rep didn't happen. He just did a no show.

    Long story short, we cancelled cable and landline and now only have them for Internet and that will change so.

    The service is garbage, much like the competence of the representatives. Here's my story. First, they changed my billing cycle to make it 3 weeks earlier than when was initially discussed, and naturally this was without warning. So of course I'm confused when my service gets shut off. When I call to straighten this out I find out they bounced the last two checks I made out to them. I decide to cut my losses, pay the balance, and I return their gear the following week. I instructed them to send me the final bill for that week of service. Instead, they send it straight to collection. With the wrong amount. They want almost $50 for that final week? Talk about being bitter over losing a customer. So now I have to deal with this and all of its obscurity.

    Comcast: I will be disputing this. My bank statements prove what you're doing is extortion. I wonder where you came up with this magical number. No, really, because it's made up. Mess with my credit again and you can expect a lawsuit. And anybody reading this: I advise you to stay far away from this joke of a provider.

    I signed up for the triple play with Comcast in July of 2015. It took them until the end of September to have me fully installed, inconvenient but it works. Or does it? My cable is fine, my phone goes out (doesn't work at all) a few times and my Internet/WiFi is consistently inconsistent. There are multiple times when I can not get out to the internet at all. This stayed the same all the way until May 2016. During that time I made numerous phone calls (over 60) and spoke with tier 1, tier 2 and WiFi specialists. I had over 15 techs come out to my house and do everything from moving the modem to changing my cable coming into my home to adding filters to hard wiring my gaming systems. None of this worked, my internet remained up and down. I asked more than once why they didn't switch out the modem and was told it's rarely a problem.

    So basically I was paying for a service that didn't always work and to make matters more frustrating, I was told there was no supervisor or manager I could speak with to discuss my problems until the problem was fixed. In late May I finally convinced them to switch the modem and bang it now works. Still not as fast as Verizon, but it works. So I call them to discuss what will be done for my months of crappy service. The tier one person is very nice and understanding and writes up a ticket to partially reimburse me for my bad service. She tells me it needs to go to management for approval - the same management I was not allowed to speak with when I had a problem. Management looks at my ticket and denies it, stating that the previous three months May, April and March my internet usage was higher than normal households.

    Now I have two teenagers who connect their phones to my WiFi, we have a gaming system, their friends are always over using the WiFi for their phones, I need to connect to the internet for work and school. So yes we use the internet and we used it those months. I asked to speak with the management who made this decision and I was told I can not. I asked them to simply let me out of my contract and let me leave their piece of crap company and I was denied that as well. I for one am tired of large companies thriving and making money off of us the consumer, who without us they would not exist. Once my contract is up I will never go back to them, ever. I beg you to do the same. Do not switch to them and if possible, leave them immediately. Thanks!

    I hate Comcast. I have been a customer for over 5 years now. I HATE them. We have been having issues with the internet intermittently going out on us since we moved about four years ago. I call them and they do a quick fix (a week or so before the problems come back) and they always say that it is the old modem or router. We replaced the router multiple times and the modem is new. Something is obviously wrong with either the lines or just Comcast in general.

    They won't fix the problem. The only other option in my area is AT&T, but the installation costs are expensive. I am about ready to just cancel Comcast and go back to the dark ages. I am THAT angry. I am SO FED UP. There have been some customer service reps that were as helpful as they could be, but, obviously, this is an issue that Comcast has and just refuses to resolve. If you are considering Comcast, STOP. It isn't worth it. Go with ANYONE else. Please. Save yourself the pain. Comcast, I hate you just so very much.

    We have been a long standing Comcast customer. First it was the double billing. Tried to arranged the cycling time frame where it would fall at a different time frame did not work. Second issue was the phone - it suddenly cut off in midstream of a conservation. It kept happening and they kept trying to fix the issue so we decided to upgrade our land line phones. And last the past two weeks there has been numerous outages in the zip code 38133 so patiently waiting for service to be establish on. Yesterday June 4, 2016 - it took four hours, 4 - 8:5 pm and was notified via phone the service was back on. Got to check and guess what? Partial service, phone and internet but no Network.

    So as of this morning I do not know whose internet network service I am using! It was stated by two technicians it was the modem it is outdated. Well it was working prior to low but working! We receive a notice a few months ago to upgrade via XFINITY site to receive a new modem. Never could get that to work, tried several times! For an additional charge the Technician could come out and make the switch. I feel it is up to your company to supply new uncharged equipment not the customer.

    Now I have to make a trip to the satellite location to turn old modem for a new! Since I had a minor procedure on Friday was not up to traveling but now I must! The phone and two IPADs is connected to my Network so only the main computer is operational. This was incompetence at the highest but I must give credit to the agent since he was insistent on selling me a package. Could you imagine if I had bundle everything with you I would have no electronic service this morning! I will no longer be Comcast customer. This is the last straw!

    I was overbilled for 6 months. At the end of each month I went to the Xfinity store to speak directly with a rep. Each time, I was told my account would be credited and calibrated, but it never was right. Finally I spent two and a half hours putting all charges and payments into a spreadsheet to make the account crystal clear. I brought it to the store and again I was promised everything would be calibrated. When it wasn't, I again pleaded my case and was told nothing more could be done. Essentially, I was robbed of $60. After all the hours I spent going to the store, waiting in queue and talking to reps, I gave up because $60 wasn't worth personal and family time. Xfinity has a monopoly in high-speed internet in my area so they don't really need to do anything because we don't have a choice but to deal with them. Pretty sick.

    I was a Comcast customer for over 25 years. Within the last year I was waiting for Comcast to adjust my bill. They sent it to a collection agency for 327.50. I paid it off in full 2 days, later the balance was 0. 3 days later it said I was 189 past due. I called customer service and I told them how can I be 189 past due when it was sent to a collection agency and I paid in full. They said I'd have to pay it, I said no way. A month later they sent me a bill for over 500.

    I finally got a honest customer service person. She said I was being charged about 220 for unreturned equipment. I had a paper with the Comcast workers employee number showing I returned it. She did a little time researching it and notice another time they billed me for equipment I returned so if you took off the 220 twice and the 189 I would have a credit. I always return my equipment so I don't get charged for it. I tried for months for them to fix my bill. They said they would and never did. They never did so I refused to pay it for the last 10 months. I use a antenna. I miss my cable and internet but I'm not paying for their mistakes.

    So I've been with Comcast since November 2015 and have never had to call for any reason especially since I'm self sufficient with any electronics that come in and out of my home. I had to Call 4 times alone today, about a call I receive from Comcast on Monday about my account. Seems like calls are not monitored for q&a purposes, they do a very poor job at leaving notes, and clearly your system has been compromised. I have not signed my name and number to anything since signing up with them months ago for anything, and I received a fraud call from a rep claiming to work at Comcast's payment dept in Connecticut, requesting my information.

    After speaking with the reps today, not only was there no documentation of the call but the very last rep stated they no longer OB calls to customers for payment arrangements since April of this year. Never received a notice about it nor have I ever fallen behind before. The experience the CSR reps provide is clearly bottom of the barrel. Sorry to say, but I work for T-Mobile. I am a top performer and provide phenomenal customer service to any customer that calls. Hints: why we are ranked #1 JDP amongst all carriers. And I expect the same when I call. And just an FYI: for the superiors responsible for training the reps this way make sure you also remember: "no customers, no pay checks". Without "us" there is no "you".

    I understand why this company has ranked the very bottom 7 consecutive years, and for that reason the pay will always be poor for the reps and the company Will either go under due to loss of revenue or just barely floating above water. Know that customers like I will gladly pay the extra $10 for the same service with someone else for a better experience.

    This review is about the Xfinity internet service we currently have. We signed up with Xfinity 2 months ago as we left AT&T. That was our biggest mistake for the year 2016. Indeed, at the time we were signing up, nobody made us aware of the 300 GB limitation. Xfinity will allow you to go over your 300 GB 3 times as a "courtesy", and thereafter you will be charged $10.00 for any overage of 50 GB. The people at Xfinity I talked to over the phone today were very uncomfortable explaining this to me. One of them (a manager) even told me that there were no limitations to the use of the internet (300 GB do not sound like a limit to him). He also said that AT&T has a limit of 200 GB which was very inaccurate (we left AT&T 2 months ago). The Xfinity individual I talked even tried to sell me a deal of unlimited internet if I agreed to pay $35.00 more. I will tell all my contact about this highway robbery, and very funny way of doing business.

    Comcast/Xfinity is by far the worst Cable & Internet provider ever. I completely agree with the reviews, because they are indeed accurate and this I know because I'm a customer who regrets signing up for service. I work from home and I'm constantly calling Comcast to report Internet problems such as: slow connections although I'm paying for the fastest and highest one that have. My modem freezes constantly and takes forever to reboot. My horrible internet is always disconnecting and saying that I have no Internet Service available and it's a complete waste to call Customer Service, because all that do is lie and give you the runaround. This is the second largest bill in my home which is ridiculous. I'm paying close to $300 a month for ** service that barely works...

    The info on "My Account" is inaccurate. I was told that I had 12 days to pay my bill before service would be interrupted, so I was surprised when I tried to access the Internet to start my work shift only to find out that I needed to contact Comcast, because my service was temporarily disconnected. This has happened twice and on today, I turned on my TV to see a message from Comcast that I needed to pay $29.30 to restore my service. Are you kidding me, when I just paid $280.00 on Friday, April 15th...? Is Comcast that hard up for money? I would say "Absolutely" which is absurd. Make sure you always check the 'Bill Details' because it's there when you'll find extra hidden fees.

    Why is there 9 different "Taxes, Surcharges & Fees" and there are 5 different "Other Charges & Credits" on top of a list of other things...? Comcast will double charge you and once you bring it to their attention, their answer is always "You'll see a Credit on YOUR NEXT BILL." I'm thinking, why the next bill, when the mistake/error was on this one? If they do give you a 'CREDIT' trust and believe, they have recompensated for this by overcharging you in another area. Don't believe me? Check your bill!!!

    I think we all need to come together and start a 'Class Action Lawsuit' against Comcast/Xfinity. I'm definitely about to talk to a Lawyer, because I'm so fed up with them. You could be calling about a problem you're having and the first and only thing they're thinking about is: "Would you like to make a payment?" If there was another Service Provider in my area, I could guarantee that Comcast would have no business and this is why they feel like they can and is taking advantage of their customers. There are thousands of people who I talk to who call in to vent about their unhappiness with Comcast. What a hike and disgrace!!!

    First, allow me to start with an issue that transpired on day one of my move. Before I relocated from out of state to Tennessee, I contacted Comcast Customer Support. Everything was pretty smooth at that point. I was told to simply bring the equipment with me to the new home, schedule connection date and time, and be there with someone over the age of 18. Wow! That is easy enough. Unfortunately, they did not tell me that I should not pay my bill. Comcast bills a month in advance. So, when my bill was paid, the money was tied up in another section of the company that the region I moved to had no access to. Long story short, it was about 3 months before the money was returned, sent to correct address, or placed on current bill, and to top all that off, I was told I was getting disconnected for non-payment. When, in fact, I had over paid Comcast by nearly $300, and they owed me money!

    Now, let us move on to the final straw that made my decision indefinite to leave this company and absolute, beside horrid customer service! In Knoxville, Comcast puts a limit on the amount of Internet a household is allowed to use. Once you've reached that limit, they decide to charge you a recurrent fee of $10 for additional Gigabyte usage. Imagine getting a bill in the mail for 100's, even 1000's of dollars, over your normal monthly bill because you used the Internet too much for Comcast's likings. I am not one that downloads a lot of files either. I simply stream Netflix, Amazon, and use PS4 functions. Yes, the PS4 downloads some large files occasionally, but as a customer who already pays an arm and a leg for service, I expect to be able to use it without being charged more.

    My wife and children stay home during the day. So, with Netflix running for my toddler, that sucks up the data. We are now 3 months into our overage, and we are facing the outrageous charges of going over the allotted amount of Internet Comcast says we can use. Mind you, we already pay nearly $200 a month, but apparently nothing will satisfy the greed of this massive corporation. I hope Comcast enjoys missing my $200 a month, not including overage fees. I will be giving it to a new company servicing the Knoxville area, WoW! They have no limitations and are nearly half the price of Comcast in every aspect, including cable TV. Goodbye Comcast! Keep doing what you're doing, and you'll find that bad business ethics will only cost you more money as your customers keep leaving you.

    When I paid $86 for the past due, I thought they would reconnect. But no - they issued a "hard"(?) disconnect as opposed to a "soft" disconnect. Then they pleaded to keep me as a customer.

I called Comcast after going through their routine questioning, and was informed there was a problem in the area. I was told it would be fixed by 5 p.m. I requested that someone come to my home to check the problem out. They scheduled a person for the next day, (April 6) between 3-5PM. At 5.00 p.m. I received a text saying it was fixed. Of course, I still had no service. Around 8:00 p.m, I called Comcast again and spoke to someone in Columbia, who said he was a supervisor named Jason, who after the usual Comcast, "I will help you" and "so sorry" I again was told, about area problem. He in no uncertain terms told me he would call me back around 9.00 p.m. to see if the problem was solved. As I expected he did not call.

I asked if my repair person was still scheduled to come and she told me no, they cancelled it because it was an high priory problem outside of my home. At this point I was furious. I called again and finally spoke to someone who spoke English and would get to the problem and reschedule the appointment for April 6. At 5.05p.m.

    On April 6, A Xfinity person arrives and tell me it was scheduled to go to my neighbor as his order said. My neighbor told him he was not having any problems but to go my house as I had the problem. When he came in he said he was not authorized to do anything since he had no order but he would call his manager and get permission which he did. After checking my connections in the house, he found nothing wrong. He went outside to check and went into the electrical room where the connections are and lo and behold someone had placed what they call "a filter tap" on my line with a yellow tag meaning a leak was discovered. The tag had no name, date or other explanation. That was the reason I had no internet.

    So the repairman removed it and lo and behold I had internet. I was informed that someone must have placed the tap on my wiring. He could not tell me why. Comcast could give me no answers.

    I signed up for xfinity Internet. They charged me for modem rental fees since day one when I clearly told them I don't need them as I have my own. I asked them "did anyone come out here to set up my internet? Did you mail modems to me?" They always say "no I'm sorry, will change the billing and refund you" and I always say "thank you" but I'll be calling next month as I Doubt this will be fixed. Same story 5 months in a row. After all of that waiting on hold and finally getting it fixed after 5 months I knew when I cancel my internet after the year I'll have more problems.

    I called them to not renew my internet after the year and told them I don't have any of their modems and not to charge me. They said "oh don't worry you're all set, thank you for your business." I got a letter next week stating I owe $77.00 for modems. Several phone calls later they said they would take care of it. It's now on my credit report. Bunch of bs. I don't know any other businesses that can get away with ** like these guys do. How can I get this off my credit report?

    If you want a home Internet service, please do not pick Comcast for service. Why, they are a liar and cheat! I signed up home Internet from Comcast. They said there was $29.99 plus $10.00 for modem and its unlimited internet. Guess what, it cost me $134.99 month. Please be my advice, do not get hook Internet with Comcast, be smart ok.

    I had a mark-out done for my dog fence. When the contractors were digging they hit my cable line and my internet was down. They immediately told me that they cut it so that is a cut line and no service is proceeded to call Comcast. First question was am I sure that my service is out. The customer service rep completely clueless said someone will come on Wednesday and said, "I will call you back in a half hour." Do you really think that happened? So I called back after a hour and a half, "Someone maybe can come out on Monday." Then I got a call from support to ask if my internet was working and I asked, "Did someone fix the cut underground?" and the rep didn't know what to say and just disconnected the call. That is some awesome service.

    I was a Comcast customer years ago, and was very dissatisfied so I switched to Dish. A salesman sold me on giving them another try since I was not satisfied with my internet service. He told me that install would be easy and the install tech would do everything. I let the sales rep know that I had two phone lines in my home and they both had to be connected. When the installer came, he said he knew nothing about a second line, and he didn't know what to do since both lines had to connect it on the modem. I let him know that the sales rep told me that the installer would run a new line if he had to. He then said they don't do that, and He would not do that.

    After thinking about it for a few minutes, his solution was to drill a hole through both sides of an interior wall and run a feeder line from the second phone line to the modem. UNACCEPTABLE! I'm fairly handy, so I got to work and ran a new line myself and added a new phone jack in the room near the modem. While I was doing this he was getting more and more agitated because of the time it was taking. Bottom line it... I ended up spending my time and labor to get the install done. The sales rep completely misrepresented what would happen on the install. The sales rep was very nice when he hooked me in. He said to just call him if I had any issues. "I'm always available", he said. Three phone calls today, and no answer.

    It's just been a few hours, and all the memories of why I left them in the first place have come back. I'm ready to quit again. To top it off, 5 minutes after he left, the internet service stopped working. The only bright note of the day was that I called the toll free number and someone got it going remotely. STAY AWAY FROM COMCAST/XFINITY.

    And so it begins... I just moved down here from New York and had to choose a provider. I wanted to go with DIRECTV but of course my building is facing the wrong direction. So between AT&T and Comcast. I read reviews on Comcast service and AT&T internet problems. Choosing between the two is like choosing between a Trump and Hillary election, you are going to be disappointed either way. I choose Comcast. After several visits to the place to get equipment and the runaround to get it set up, my internet struggled to get going. They stated the wires are dead in both outlets and would need to send a tech to look at it (which would cost money). Now how would an apartment complex that is continuously full all of a sudden have outlets that are "dead"?

    I said no and that we would need to go ahead with it and they need to fix it on their end cause I'm not paying for a tech. (This was after I had to go there three times and wait over an hour each time.) Finally some "magical way" they got the internet to be fixed. Now the issues kept coming. On the third month I went to pay and saw that I was billed on the 10th of the month and then again the 27th of the month. How can I be billed for 4 months when I've only had it for 3 and on top of that I was charged a late fee. After several calls... Person 1 says it was a mistake, Person 2 says they do that now, and Person 3 says they're not cause they are only seeing 1 payment due but will remove the late fee. Oh how nice. Person 4 (the manager) says I'm only accountable for the 1 month but I now can see my upcoming bill, then how come I was charged a late fee? They don't know. Shocker!

    Now my cable issues are fun. Demand is terrible, breaks up all the time and freezes, as if I have a satellite from 1980 hanging off my porch. I had to restart my box several times. And then when I want to rent a movie they change my PIN every time. For the first 2 months no PIN then in the third month I needed a PIN. Called them, waited for 20 minutes to speak to someone. I asked them to remove the PIN. He said he can't so I make a PIN: **. 1 month later the PIN doesn't work. I call them, wait 20 minutes, again tell the guy the PIN doesn't work. He asks me if I would like the PIN removed? Say what now? This company is the most poorly run company I have ever witnessed. I count the days until I buy my house and can finally get DIRECTV. Stay Away!!!

    Triple play for 99 is an estimate only. After they add in all their hidden cost my bill is 184 a month. Also a data limit of 300gigs is ridiculous - that's a binge Netflix session. Always freezing up and the customer service is unreliable to say the least. Was told I'd be moved to unlimited data free of charge and 2 months later a charge of 55 was on my account raising my bill to 240 a month. I recorded all conversations and stored them just for this reason. I contacted customer service 3 times to be clear no extra charge for unlimited data would apply to my bill but did the fact I had 4 of their employees on record saying no charge would be applied, no it did not.

    Of course all this happened after my 30 days in which I could cancel and go with another company so I'm stuck for a year with an outrageous bill and the worst internet available. I suggest you really do your research and ask over and over what your bill will be after all the fees they continue to pack on after you sign. Not pleased and I will cancel asap.

    So, as I sit here having to use my Verizon MIFI because COMCAST XFINITY prematurely turned off my services!!! Rewind back a few days ago, 8 March 2016 to be exact, I alerted COMCAST XFINITY of my pending move for 25 March 2016. After about 10 mins of back & forth with the COMCAST XFINITY representative, she finally confirms (confirmation #**) my cancellation of services for 25 March 2016. Fast forward to last night, 12 March 2016, my COMCAST XFINITY services (phone, internet, and cable) are completely OUT. I called the representative and she was totally baffled, asking me if I tried to reset it, how long it's been out, if there is a power outage in the area, and that she has to check with her supervisor if she can submit a service request. Ask for permission? She stated she would call me within 15 mins, before 8:00 p.m., to let me know what time my appointment would be.

    I received a call at 7:59 p.m. stating that there wasn't a power outage in the area, it appears there's a problem on the outside, and that the soonest they'd be able to come is tomorrow afternoon (13 March 2016) between 1 and 4 pm. This morning, 13 March 2016, I received a call at 8:00 am from a COMCAST XFINITY representative asking if my issue had been resolved; I informed her it had not. She acknowledged my answer then reminded me that I had an appointment for TODAY, a technician would be here between 1 and 4 pm.

    As the clock approached 4 pm, 3:53 pm to be exact, I called COMCAST XFINITY to inquire about the technician. Well, they told me that they DON'T have anything scheduled for me, asked me if I paid my bill, and OH, "your services were cancelled." Not only was I insulted, but extremely infuriated! I paid my bill on 6 March 2016, I kept a copy of the chat that I had with the COMCAST XFINITY representative about my cancellation effective 25 March 2016. That is when the marathon runaround began.

    First, the representative told me that he has to transfer me to new accounts because they'd have to be the ones that turn on my services. By then, my husband took the phone to find out what has happened. Talk about the ABSOLUTE WORST EVER CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! FYI, the representative during the Chat was Divya, I cannot recall the representative's name from last night's call or the 8:00 am call; however, the representative we spoke with at 3:55 pm - 4:38 pm was "Art" who admitted he was physically in the Philippines, and now we have his supervisor "Nick". My husband is now asking for Nick's supervisor...which Nick CLAIMS he cannot disclose the name of his supervisor. Really?

    All I want is my friggin' services to be turned on!!! The same services that SHOULD NOT have even been turned off before 25 March 2016! My husband was transferred to the internet side of the house...CLOSED! WTH!!! I WOULD NEVER EVER EVER recommend this piss poor company! COMCAST XFINITY has false advertising AND their customer service is the ABSOLUTE WORSE!!!

I recurve an email the night of the 21st saying my apt was set for March 14, 2016. That was not discussed over the phone. I call Comcast back and they told me that was the only time frame they had and it was scheduled. I immediately became upset because that was not the appointment I was promised. I was in my new apartment for a week and a day with no cable, no internet, no security. They installed ONLY THE CABLE AND INTERNET the following week. So in still looking for me why security to be installed.

    They waived the fee for the security, and I was told I would get 10$ off my bill for 12 months. Here it is March 10, 2016 and I still have no security system. I called back a few minutes ago and spoke to 5 different people within a matter of 20 minutes just for them to tell me that I don't even have an installation date in the system. They proceeded to offer me March 25th to get it installed. THAT IS A WHOLE MONTH with no service still. I am livid with Comcast. This is the worst cable company EVER.

    After two weeks of having Comcast my services were canceled for no apparent reason. Was without service for two day. I talked to two representatives about why my services were canceled mind my bills were paid and everything. They could not figure out why they were canceled. Got them hooked up again only to be billed two weeks later for $220 for unreturned equipment. Although I still had my equipment because I still had service with them! They said they would refund me the equipment charge and a supervisor would call me within 24 to 48 hours.

    One week later no phone call and no refund. I call back and they gave the run around again saying they would have to give a ticket number to a supervisor to call me and give me a refund. Still have not heard anything. I have spent almost 3 hours total on the phone trying to figure out where my money is. Do yourself a favor and don't get involved in this mess of a company.

    After contemplating for 2 years to switch to Comcast I finally decided because AT&T Internet was driving me crazy. It was soooooo slow. We couldn't even watch Netflix on our tv or watch movies/shows on our Direct due to poor internet error all the time. And I work from home and it would drop connection all throughout the day. On March 3 Comcast came out, guy showed up and was working outside. After about an hour he tells me the tap on my street is dead. He was calling a technician to see if available to come out look at it, said I would need reschedule possibly. He told me that he should have checked tap on first before he started and he didn't. So I have this big box with cables everywhere hanging on side house.

    I was ok with that because I had not cancelled my Direct or AT&T yet. He leaves about 5, then my kids go to watch TV and it's not working. So, this idiot does not come back and you know he knew he had unhooked all Directv cords and rerouted to the new box. I call and of course I'm told they will expedite this, but no guarantee. Needless to say at this point my rescheduled date is March 15th, so these fools are leaving us without cable until then. After about 2 emails, 3 phone calls later on March 4, a guy shows up at my home, not the idiot that unhooked these cables, but new guy and plugs all cables back in. But after 1 hour on phone with Direct, still NO cable.

    So I had to schedule Direct to come out on March 11 to reconnect and get me back up and running and hope they don't charge me a fee to so. This guy John did at least give me his # to call and come back out on Saturday if box does not start working. So I call him back and he said he will try find a guy to come out, but UNSUCCESSFUL. They were "loaded" he said for day and would thought maybe heard back from him, but "crickets". Now, I did not want to rate COMCAST/INFINITY because I feel they don't deserve my rating because they've showed me the service that I will be getting with them, but I had to choose a 1 star. But COMCAST don't get cocky, because really you are a big fat ZERO star in my eye right now. So now to decide to continue to make my switch or not. Very, very dissatisfied customer.

    Had no phone or internet service for 4 days. Comcast gave me 4 appointments. Either no tech showed and I was told 2 of my appointment was scheduled unsuccessfully. Comcast reps scheduled the appt therefore it's their fault if the appt was scheduled unsuccessfully. I missed 3 days of work because they had me waiting on a tech each day from 9-4. One day from 8-4. When my service is finally restored I called Comcast to get credited for those days I didn't have service. They only credited me 50.00. I was told earlier in the week it would be 20 for each missed appt.

    Comcast is full of **!!! I missed out on hundreds of dollars in wages and they wouldn't even credit me what they said they were because their reps didn't put all the appts in the system. I asked them aren't the calls recorded just to verify the appts their reps gave me? They said yes but they didn't have access to the recordings. Wow!!!

Trusting him, I agreed, and paid a few months charges of $14/mo for nothing at all, and then started getting invoices for over $200 per month. Starting in 8/15, I have had at least 8 phone sessions (very lengthy) and 6 office visits to get resolved their billing me for no service whatsoever. When I moved into my new house in Sept, it took me until Dec to get them to start new service and now they say I owe them for a 'bad debt' of over $100.00.

    I tried to upgrade my internet service but found out that I was only allowed to get the higher speed internet that Comcast offers if I upgrade and bundle services that I didn't want or need. Since I am of the generation labeled a "cord cutter" it seems that I am being limited on what speed of internet I can get by how much money I am willing to spend with the company. I don't need the Comcast TV service, but it seems that if I don't purchase it, I am only allowed data speeds up to 50 mbs. If I get tv, then and only then am I allowed to get the higher speeds of internet that are available in my area.

    According to the customer service rep, those higher speeds get "grayed out" in the system if I don't get a bundle package. This is a discriminatory move that should not be allowed. If the higher speed is not available then that is one thing, but I should not be FORCED to spend money on a product that I don't want nor need in order to get one that I do. The account is under Ashley ** my fiance. Any help getting this resolved would be greatly appreciated.

    Worked with Comcast for 4 months, and they run the most unorganized and unethical business practice. Paid to have phone line transferred, didn't happen even after 4 months! Internet service is "16mbs" down and 3mbps upload, which isn't even CLOSE to what we were getting in real world results. Our results? 7mbps down and 1.1 up when everyone is not using the bandwidth. You know what the tech rep said to us? "You can always pay more for more speed." WE DON'T EVEN GET THE SPEED YOU SOLD US.

    How in this day and age can we get Google Fiber (1 TERABYTE) download speed for $70, which is what we pay Comcast right now for internet service alone, and consider Comcast as a business who offer us "value". Short answer. They don't. Don't deal with them, don't deal with their customer "service", and most of all, don't waste your valuable time. The only other reliable internet service we've had is Charter, and we've been in business with them for 16+ years.
