    This is by far the worst Internet service I have ever had. Called customer service and was directed to an automated phone service, and then hung up on because I wanted to talk to a REAL PERSON.

    Comcast is the worst business in this world. Don't EVER do business with them. We got their internet service (only because barely any other services are available in our area)... I was dreading it but we needed the internet. We set it up ourselves and it worked fine for the first 2 weeks. All the sudden it stopped working for no reason. We called someone to come out here and they didn't tell us it would cost a dime. After waiting a week for them to send someone out, my boyfriend waited at home all day from the 8am-11pm timeframe they gave us. They showed up an hour after; he obviously was out running errands after sitting all day waiting for them. We had to call to reschedule. Another 5 days went by before they could someone out for a second time. They ended up fixing the internet. However they screwed up our TV (DirecTV who is awesome!) and WE had to end up paying DirecTV to come out here to fix what Comcast screwed up.

    We cancelled our service with Comcast before our month was even up and I was told by not one, but two different (surprisingly nice and helpful) customer service representatives that they were sorry for our trouble, "it sounds terrible" and that we wouldn't be charged anything for the service. What a joke. They ended up sending us to collections for $94.76. My boyfriend paid it so it wouldn't hurt his credit. I called and spoke with Comcast and THE RUDEST person was "helping me" and told me that it "didn't matter what the other people had told me and this is the way it is."

    Now looking through the bill I'm also seeing some ** "Failed CHSI Sik" charge for $99.99. Which would mean what, exactly, Comcast?? The most **, shady company in the industry. We hate them so much that we literally would rather not have the internet at all than work with Comcast. And in this day in age you can imagine how tough that is. But I refuse to give that miserable place another penny. Don't ever do business with them. The only reason they are still in business is because there are not many other options out there. Just remember Comcast, Karma is a **. Can't wait to see you slowly fail.

    From Oct of 2014 to March 2015 I spent over 11 hours on the phone with this company working out problems that they had messed up on. Staring off their website when I was considering buying has the deal pop up sliding window. They had a deal for $20 month internet. But when you clicked on it it always disappeared and internet deal started at $50-$60 a month and I did not have location devices on my computer while this was happening. And when I called the company asking for the $20 deal, they said there was no such promotion that had ever been going on.

    So I stupidly still signed up with them and they gave me the wrong equipment. Not only that but they gave me two cable boxes. Which I had to return. They overcharged me three times on my bill. One of the times I spent 2 growling hours on the phone with a payment support agent who told me at the end of the phone call after he could not figure out for two hours what was going wrong with my bill. He said that he could not change it after all that time and that I would have to call back again tomorrow and have them fix the problem.

    And even when that wasn't happening they had their company's collectors calling me asking me to pay the bill days after it had been payed. I have two addresses that I used internet at. Called to pay on one they say the bill is paid. Then a couple days later my internet is shut off at the one I requested to pay on. When I called to find out what it happened they had paid towards a future billing on the other place and not the place I asked. This kind of incompetent behavior goes on every time you talk to them not to mention that every time I called I would have to speak to a min of 3 different people to get help on a problem.

    No one knows what they're doing there and they just pass it off to another department which is always the wrong department. I'm not kidding when I say 11 hrs on the phone with them. I kept track after the third phone call in a month. They say I owe them $100 dollars for the last bill. I told them they owed me money for all the bs. I also have the Internet box which I don't even want but I'm not giving them their stuff back if they won't erase my bill. They are an EXTREMELY fraudulent company and should be dealt with. If they offered $1 month Internet it's not worth the stress.

    Comcast has had my bundle business for quite a few years, so you would think that they would want to provide good customer service. Well think again. I called two weeks ago (the week of 20 July 2015) to ask them to come and move my cable line which is buried in the ground. I am trying to have a garage build and the line is in the way. I was given an appointment of Thursday, Aug. 6th. They were a no show. I called and was given another appointment of 8/8 between 9-11 AM. No show. I called a third time and was they would be here today 8/8 between 2-4:30 and still they never came. I am at my wit's end.

    My internet cable was broken in a storm and when I asked them to repair it, they told me they were going to come the next day. No one showed up, and when I called them, they had scheduled an appointment two weeks later. I have many medical issues, and I need to connect with the doctor daily to transfer information and check different appointments. I told them my situation and they still didn't care. If you don't care about people, how do you expect people to care about you? They only come fast when you order their service. After that, they don't. Terrible company, terrible customer service.

    I'm so tired of the excuses I get for lose of cable. It rains - I lose!!! The technician 2-hour window is a joke when they come 5 minutes before the 2-hour window is almost over. I've been told by a tech that someone else needed to come out. I had one only spend 5 minutes in my home -- RUDE, gave me no name, and told me to call tomorrow for a new tech that can fix my problem. My sisters have AT&T and don't lose as much as I do. They are reading off a screen and don't care!!!

    It's unfortunate that people will only take the time to review if they have a negative experience, very seldom will anybody take the time to write a positive review.

    I have had Comcast/Xfinity services for 3 years now, and in that time I don't think my services have been down more than 12 hours which boils down to a 0.0456621% downtime, or 99.954% uptime. That's an amazing statistic! And to top that off, I live in SWFL, the lightning capital of the world!!! I have internet speeds up to 90 megabytes down, and up to 12 megabytes up, I have unlimited US/Canada/PR/Guam calling, and a few hundred channels to watch at a cost of $160 a month.

    People complain about the cost of cable, but the way I look at it it's a great deal, and a lot of service for the money spent. Heck, 20 years ago my phone bill alone was $200 a month (and what was $200 worth 20 years ago?) But now I can talk all I want without the worry of how many long-distance minutes I was using, and how much it cost. In addition, I have blazing fast internet which keeps everyone in my household connected to the whole world!

    In an earlier post I read about someone complaining that if they pay for a service, electric, water, or cable, they expect cost-free service and maintenance. First off, people tend to forget that TV is a luxury, not a necessity! Secondly, if your kitchen sink is leaking does the water company come out and fix it for free? If a light switch is broken, does the electric company fix that for free? Then why do people expect that if you have 35 year old coax wiring in your home that it's the cable companies problem? I do electrical work, and must tell you that 30 year old RG59 coax cable will not reliably support today's technology. If you want the latest & greatest tech, you need lines that will support that technology.

    I've been a Comcast Customer for over 8 years. Recently Comcast raised my monthly service to over $200 per month. I called to cancel in May and was sent to the "recovery" department. I was offered a deal so I would stay. A month later I called to cancel my service once more, as I was not completely satisfied with what I was offered. I was transferred to the "recovery" department again where I was given, what I can see today as, a "too good to be true" deal. The individual offered to lower my monthly to around $160 per month total and would increase my internet to 50mbps, plus phone. I really did not need the phone as I have a cellphone plan but the internet MBPS increase got my attention. And he promised that this rate will not increase for 2 years, and that I could cancel if not satisfied.

    I was in the middle of traveling for work so I decided to try it. He said I had to listen and accept something over the phone and then I would receive an email, so I did. This month my bill was $200 again and I could not believe it! I was very upset, so I called to cancel my service for cable but decided that I would keep my internet. I was told that I could cancel but because I am into a 2 year agreement I would have to pay $250 cancellation fee. I was speechless to say the least. I explained that I never signed anything to what I was asked if I had to go thru a phone acceptance. To make the story short, I was tricked into a 2 year contract I guess because I called so many times to cancel, that whoever I talked to decided to lock me in so I would not be able to call to cancel again.

    After trying to make them understand that I was tricked into this and what I was told, I finally gave up due to the Comcast representative lack of interest in resolving the issue. I feel so betrayed by the company I have given my loyalty and business for so long that I decided to cancel anyway and take the $250 hit. Unfortunately I need my internet and the only other ISP is not the best. So I told him I needed to keep my internet. I got hit a second time by Comcast telling me that because I am cancelling an agreement, the only internet plan I can get is 105 mbps for a cost of $114 plus fees and taxes. WOW! All I need is a maximum of 25 mbps but I cannot even get that from Comcast after I pay them the $250 unfair fee.

    This company has changed a lot! I remember when they used to care about their Customers. Now they treat you well ONLY when you do not have a contract and when you do not call to complaint. The strength of a company that provides a service and/or a product is on their Customer service department. It is how well and effective they can resolve Customer situations, so you can keep your Customers. After searching the internet looking for answers, I just found out that Comcast is at the top of the list but for worst Customer service! I can see that... I guess Comcast has become so big and "business" like that people have just become a $ money icon for them. They do not care anymore... It looks like they do not mind the turn over as new Customers keep signing up every day now.

I call in and try to contact support and I get thrown through a roundabout of machines only for them to tell me they can't do anything about it. Comcast is the worst internet provider I have ever seen. They don't care about giving you service. They don't care if you are satisfied. They don't even want to provide you with good service. All they want is to take your money and ** off. For three weeks straight I've had the worst internet service you can imagine! It is a horrendous business. Never give them your money.

They are way more expensive than what they should be if you think about what you are truly getting for the price. They should be ashamed. I definitely don't recommend them at all. Just because it seems like it might be a good deal at the time doesn't mean it really is. Too much ** and ignorance to deal with.

Customer Support never knows what is going on, if it is set up and working, you're fine. GOD forbid if you have an issue... My Issue: moving and trying to transfer services. They shut my service off too early, and then have not been able to get it back up and running effectively for some reason. They canceled my scheduled appointment for no reason, of which I set a month ago. They randomly were adding disconnection and connection fees - of which they shut off by mistake.

    After 4 days and 8 different people, they still can't get the information correct. Was told on 3 calls that a supervisor would call with in 2 hours... It's been 1.5 weeks not a single call back. Transferred from department to department all saying they took care of it to find out in an hour that nothing was done and had to call back - YET again... We are supposed to get 100mb and we are paying for the higher amount - of which we never get. So now they are telling me I can get faster if I upgrade yet again. REALLY?? Had a service tech scheduled - waiting, waiting, waiting... Oh nope... He never showed and no reasons given. LOL - now they want me to sign with a 2 year agreement!! Are you kidding me!! AT&T is not as fast (I get that) BUT it is a lot less headache and far better service. Trust me, that is not saying much...

    So they tell me now that I'm getting 75 mbps internet speed. And often I do. But then again, often I end up with .35 mbps.. that's point 35. Slow enough that my internet service is useless and I have to leave my home to continue with my job. For years they have been coming to my house, trying to charge me $75 per trip to fix THEIR ISSUE. It's intermittently messed up so by the time they get around to helping me, it's ok again. And then they say things like, "it's hard to fix something when it's ok when we get here." (I send them speed reports to prove it was slow.) The supervisors say they will do what it takes to fix it and then they do nothing.

    When the techs get here they say things like, "we saw the issues you are having in the office on our equipment so we know you are having issues" but then nothing ever gets fixed. I'M SICK OF IT BUT I REFUSE TO GIVE UP. I DEMAND THAT I GET THE SERVICE THEY ARE CLAIMING THEY PROVIDE. AND I REFUSE TO GO TO A LESSER SPEED SYSTEM LIKE DISH OR AT&T.

    I called the Comcast Xfinity hotline to get internet only (no TV, no home phone). There was no option to set it up online. The rep put me on hold for about 10 min to "put some packages together." Then she claimed that the best option for me was a promotional package 75mb/sec for $39.99 plus monthly $10 for modem rental. I explained that I already had a modem that I would want to use. I told her that this was quite expensive and asked if she had something cheaper. She replied that the only other "package" she had was for $29.99 for 6mb/sec. All in all she was a bit snotty during our conversation and was quick to hang up after I said I want to explore other providers.

    My internet service has been unreliable for a majority of the 2 years since a move outside of AT&T range forced me back into Comcast Xfinity's monopoly. I'm on my 3rd rental modem, 3rd technician (2 no shows), and countless hours of phone calls. The customer service center seems designed to stall or aggravate you to hang up by having you repeat the same information many times, then keeping no account details when trying to reference previous calls, so you are always starting from scratch. Very frustrating to feel like Comcast is my only option and to be treated like they know it.

    I got Comcast internet with telephone this month for the first time. To avoid monthly modem fees I opted to buy modem on my own and Comcast rep suggested me to buy DOCSIS 3 modem before the technician visit for set up. On visit the technician suggested the Netgear modem Docsis 3 was not suitable and suggested me to buy another modem with Wifi networking. He suggested that I use their modem till I replace and then we can set up by phone call to service center.

    I bought a brand new Arris TG862G modem - same model as the one installed by Comcast technician. On setting up on phone Comcast was not able to get the modem work. They asked us to replace it again. We did that and called again. They still were not able to get it connected after 75 minutes on phone and said they will have to send technician again. Today they informed that there will be a $39 fee to visit as the modem is not owned by Comcast. After making us replace modem 3 times.

    It looks like it is a deliberate trick by Comcast forcing us to use their modem for which they charge monthly. The customer service today were very rude. On asking them to connect to their supervisor, he flatly refused saying he know his job and there is no option but to pay - almost blackmailing us. As a new customer I am very disillusioned by Comcast, especially the way the customer reps talked today. No wonder they are top of the list in the worst customer service companies.

    On the line for five hours, trying to restore cable and internet which were not working when we arrived home this afternoon. Could only reach operators in the Philippines and could not get any help in the US. Transferred many times, left on hold, with no ability to solve our problems. We rely on the internet for our medical record work--we are both doctors. No help was given, and one gentleman I reached did suggest a temporary connection to xfinity hotspot, which is not a secure network. I was told that customer service would call back in 30 minutes. It is two hours later, and of course, no one has called. Why can't they have local US telephone numbers where a customer can call and receive appropriate service?

    I am lodging a complaint with the FCC, which I believe, will follow up with my concerns. What does a patient do who relies on the internet to send reports back to a doctor or hospital? This service is really an abomination, and the system is very broken. If I treated my patients this way, I wouldn't be in business. How do we reach this monopoly and change their customer service?

    June 25, after attempt to self connect the internet myself, not working. June 30 I call Comcast. A lady ask me to do phone trouble shooting, still not working, so she said the modem defective, she will send me another one in 3~5 business days. After 1 week did not receive. I call, they said sometimes it takes longer. Another week (so it is 2 week) I called back because still did not receive the modem. The CS said, that he cannot locate any order sent out, so he said there is no modem sent out yet, because he just found the work order. I request to talk to Supervisor. The Supervisor talk to me and give me solution that the next Monday (I called on Saturday), tech will come to my house at 7~8 am. Monday morning my sister in law wait on the sofa next to front door from 6:30 am to 9:30 am, nobody come. She even called me if I give them the right address, I said yes.

    So when I came home the next Sunday July 26 I called Comcast. She said she only have next appt on August 3. I said I need it earlier because it's more than a month to connect my service and my daughter need to finish her homework on early August. "And why the tech not come?" She cannot answer. I ask for Supervisor. The Supervisor need me to review everything of my story again, but he keep cutting the story, and when I ask if the Comcast tech really came to my house that Monday, he answer, "I cannot say yes or no." I don't even know what that means so I ask a higher manager to talk, But He (initial D) insist that he is the one who responsible to solve my problem, and refuse to let me talk to someone else.

    So I said I cannot understand him, and I ask "should I just close my account?" He said "you can do it, if that's what you want to do" and he said he's going hang up on me because I cannot talk the higher manager. Only they the one who can call me. So he hang up on me. Around 10 minutes later he (initial D) the same person call me back at a more calm voice (he was aggressive on the first call) and said that's the earliest appt he can give to me but he don't even have the early morning. So he even can only give me the next day August the 4th morning and warn me if 7~9 its mean the tech can come at 9 and I have to answer their phone call and that they can finish the job for hours and hours later so I have to be ready to stay home all the hours. Which is mean he warn me I cannot go to work. He keep insist he is in the right position after fail to connect my internet for more than a month.

    This is a ridiculous situation and not even one word of sorry they said and keep arguing with me after keep breaking all their promise. So watch out customers.

And if I wanted faster speed I should try taking my laptop to the modem and sit next to it! I called to complain when I saw that there was a charge for that visit. The rep said she'd see if they would remove it because I wasn't informed of the charge beforehand. Never heard back. Called back today and was told they'd give me a $20.00 credit and that I'd have to pay the rest. My contract is up in December and I am choosing to end my service with them and get rid of Xfinity altogether! I'll use Roku for everything. Poor Comcast they don't make enough $$$???!!!

    My wife and I WERE going to change our internet/cable service. I took the day off of work to be home for the appointment. My wife gave the rep scheduling the appointment my contact info and also put me on the "account" so I could interact with Comcast. The rep did NOT take any of my info and log it in. Day of installation appointment, they called my wife to say no one was home at 1:14 P.M. The garage door and the front door were WIDE open and clearly visible from the street (50 feet from edge of street).

    By 1:16 P.M., my wife had given them my number, and they found the time in 2 minutes to call and leave a message saying that I would have to reschedule. I filed a complaint with the BBB. They attempted to contact me after I had previously (7 days earlier) told them to remove my number and email from their database. They still wanted me to establish service with them which would require me to take more time off work (unacceptable) and offered a $25 credit. What an insult. Never doing business with them. EVER.

The internet never works, the equipment is faulty, causing me to take trips to the Xfinity store several times to exchange equipment. When I called to cancel I was promised that a service person would show up TODAY 7/15/15 between 8 am and 10 am to remedy the issue. I took the morning off work for this to be done. At 10 am I called Xfinity/Comcast since had not relieved a phone call or seen anyone show up. The customer service rep told me that I have to reschedule because the service guy did not show up!

    I pay $50 a month for the "economy" internet service which is supposed to give me 1.5-3 Mbps but my family can't even watch a streaming video on Roku at night because the service is so slow. All it does is keep loading. Small businesses run entire offices off of 1.5-3 Mbps of Internet service, why can't a small family of 3 run the usual technology devices? I call Comcast every few weeks to get assistance with my issue. I spend an hour on the phone and nothing gets resolved. They reset my modem and try to seek me faster internet service which is 50% more than I'm paying now. I have zero options for other internet providers in my area and feel Comcast should be allowed to monopolize the business and continue to provide horrible service.

    I made a payment extension with Comcast/Xfinity to extend my payment for another week. They told me that they would have to print a ticket for it but my service would not be affected for a whole week. The very next day they shut my service off. I tried to call them to resolve the matter and I was on 30 minute+ wait times. Then it kept disconnecting me every time I entered my information. When I finally got to a live person, she asked for my info then placed me on hold and disconnected me. I called after that and I continued to call afterwards and was disconnected every time.

    I contacted Comcast by chat and they told me they don't see a ticket that was ever printed and they can't help me. I wonder why in the hell do I even waste my time speaking to customer service and make a payment arrangement if they are incompetent at honoring their agreement on their end. I advise anyone to go to DIRECTV or DISH Network if they can so they won't have to deal with this type of disrespect from a cable company who feels they can treat you any kind of way.

    I called to have a new installation for Xfinity internet. I was scheduled for 6 days later between 3 & 5 pm, what they called "the guaranteed two-hour window." On that day no one called and no one showed to do the install. After spending 1 1/2 hours on the phone with them I was finally told no one was available to come that evening and they rescheduled the install ONE WEEK later. After repeated attempts to talk to a supervisor I was finally able to get them to agree to come two days later, but was given a 12-hour window. I had to take off from work. The install was completed at about 7pm and the installer left, but by 7:15 the service no longer worked.

    I spent another hour and half on the phone trying to get some resolution but I was told I would have to wait another 4 days. The next morning I called and spoke to a supervisor then finally asked to terminate the service. I was transferred to the "Customer Retention" department (this took about 45 minutes) who then assured me she could find a solution. She transferred me to a "specialist" in Florida who assured and promised me he would resolve the issue. He promised that a technician would call me in an hour. When two hours passed and I had not received a response I called and cancelled the service.

    In the past I have dealt with Optonline, Verizon and AT&T. Never before had I been so deceived, received such poor service and witnessed such ineptness. Comcast is, without exaggeration, the worst company I have ever dealt with. In the end I lost out on two full days of work, spent a total of nearly 4 hours on the phone, been lied to a total of four times, sat through two missed appointments, and navigated through their phone system dozens of times (which is a barbaric experience).

    Please note that the individuals who answer the phone are polite and attentive. This is not a criticism of them as individuals, but the company they work for is horrible. They do not care about their customers. They do not have systems in place for situations where things fall apart, and they are cold, impersonal and unresponsive. Do not let their advertising slogans and ads fool you. You will not like working with Comcast. If there are any other services available in your area, choose of them before Comcast! Do not make the mistake of becoming one of their customers.

    I have had Comcast for 3 years and over time my internet cost has gone up tremendously. They continued to try to upsale us on cable and finally offered a deal where either our internet and phone would cost more than what we would pay for internet, phone, and cable so I took them up on this. Eventually the cable price went up more and we started at paying 45 dollars a month approximately and ended up around 120. I started getting suspicious as every time I called them they offered me different prices on different things. Finally I decided it was time to remove all services other than internet because the bill was just too high. Every time I said I wanted to remove a service they told me they could discount it and this is after many people had told me the rates they were offering were their lowest rates and I wouldn't find anything lower anywhere else.

    I realized that the bundled packages aren't actually accurate offers. They tell you how much the internet cost at a higher rate than what they actually will charge you. Then they tell you the phone is only 3 dollars more a month. But if you cancel packaged services it opens up other pricings they won't reveal to you until after your service is cancelled. And even then you have to wait days until that cancellation has taken effect before they reveal the newly available discounted price for single service package.

    The worst part of all of this is that I was sold a 50 Mbps internet package without being told that in MN the maximum they can offer with that package is 25. They continually told me 50 is not available but then I find out that there is a 50 Mbps package (it is actually 105 but in MN the maximum they give for that package is 50). I didn't even want to start the conversation of requesting a refund for the difference in pricing between what they sold me and what they provided. I did eventually argue with a customer loyalty rep for a while about what pricing options they had available until she agreed to actually look and found the pricing option that I was referring to which she had insisted wasn't available.

    Their business model is so similar to illegal drugs. Get them hooked on convenience and affordability and then raise the prices and introduce new services at discounted rates only to increase those rates dramatically as well. If you call to cancel your services one at a time you can get the best prices out of them. I am now getting double the internet speed for half the price I was paying. Again straight up misinforming customers about what they are purchasing is my biggest complaint and secondary is their purposeful taking advantage of people who just don't happen to call in to ask if their services are available at lower prices.

After calling three different times talking with customer service reps and getting three different requirements and prices for bundles etc. Talked with the supervisor and got no relief.

    I was so frustrated I called home office in Philadelphia and talked with Mike. He listened and repeated back what my concerns were and turned me over to Amanda who also listened carefully and understood my frustration. She had Ben from Portland, Oregon who is charge of Arizona, contact me and he gave me what I needed. Amanda expedited my hook-up and I'm a happy camper. Why did I have to go through all that? More training is needed in Tucson for sure. These three, Mike, Amanda, and Ben more than atoned for my frustrating experience. I'm thrilled thus far with all the services.

    This company is the worst. I started with Comcast in May 2014. It started out ok. But then the internet would go off and then I would have to call them to see what was going on. Every time I called I would get a phone call after a week or so and the message would say "you requested service. If you don't call us back we'll assume you still need the service." What in the world? I would desperately call back knowing that a service request meant extra charge. I would call and ask "What is going on? When did I request this service?" Another time I was moving to a new apartment. I called to request a transfer of the same service with no changes to my new apartment. A lady told me "yes, yes it will stay intact and the same service will be transferred".. What a liar!

    The first month I get a charge that was supposed to be $85 including taxes was $172. I called after opening my bill and the rep tells me. "oh, yes ma'am, you requested A New Service and therefore you have a new account number"! Upset I hung up the phone, called back. The new rep told me that I didn't request the new service, which that was accurate, "but the reason you are charged that amount" he said "was because when you move, the account changes"? I told him that before moving to the new apartment I called to make sure that the service would stay the same. He said, "oh no, it never stays the same when a customer moves to another area." At that point I was so angry. I didn't want anything to do with this company.

    I spoke to the manager of the condo I'm renting and she said that Comcast is the only internet and cable service available in the units. :( I was so disappointed, I spoke to the Comcast supervisor requesting a service removal for good. He gave me a better price and "removed" the mistake, but then again after a month I get another bill for the amount $172. I called back again, the rep would tell me "it's solved now". After a month same thing for the amount $162 now. The supervisor again gave me a promotion to have me stay with them and not to remove the service. He said that there was no record of my payments!! Unbelievable! I honestly hope this company goes bankrupt like GM did. I will be so happy when this happens.

    Today I called again because I got a phone called about 45 minutes ago from a Comcast rep telling me another lie. She said on the message "hello miss, we have scheduled a technician go see the problem, and if you Don't call us back, we'll assume you still need a technician". I never requested anyone to come to my home. So I immediately on a Saturday at 8pm when I got this untasteful message, called back and the lady rep tells me, "Yes, you have a technician scheduled for Monday at 1pm". First of all that was a lie, and second I would never request anyone on a Monday and much less at 1pm.

    I honestly need someone to look over the company. Someone has to put a stop to this. This should not be happening in America. Corruption is present in this Comcast company and should be banned. Time Warner Cable has been the best so far, but it's the North. I guess in the South there's always more corruption. Thank you for reading my complaint. I actually give the company -1000 STARS.

    XFINITY customer service center, thank you for surpassing my expectations today. I had arranged for new 75 mbps Blast! service to be installed today to replace my 18 mbps U-verse Internet (btw 12 mbps taken up by U-verse TV) between 10am and 12 noon, and appreciated the email and calls confirming the time. I was able to rearrange my phone calls and appointments, and put the dog in the crate. Thank you Comcast for respecting my time, the only resource I cannot get back.

    At 11:53, no one had called or shown up, so as a proactive customer service center you had me call into your 800 number, which asked if I was calling about my installation, and then proceeded to inform me that you were unsure when a technician would arrive, and transferred me to Shandra in customer service. Shandra told me my tech was on the way. In fact, Shandra was so good, that Shy (escapee from Inside Out - and yes that is her name) from the Sacramento OC Dispatcher team called at 12:05 to inform me my tech was running late and would be there in about 20 minutes.

    At 12:20, because of the proactiveness of Comcast, I called customer service again, figuring that the tech had to take lunch. I mean, no appointments are scheduled between 12-1 according to Comcast and they are subject to hourly wage laws. I spoke to two people including a manager who offered me $20 gift card or 3 months of a premium service for my time. Um, did you see I only have Comcast Internet, not Comcast TV?

    Oh yes, I was told that unlike Domino's Pizza (yep, Comcast brought up Domino's!!), who can track my pizza to my house, Comcast does not know where their tech's are until they press a button on a phone or laptop. Hello, 2015 calling - if a tech does not enter an update 15 minutes before the next call, perhaps they are going to be late, and you may want to proactively notify the next customer? Comcast mentioned that they were going to be having such a service for customers in the future, so you will now be able to look up where the techs are not supposed to be. I think it will be an Apple Maps program they use to locate their techs.Or just look up Domino's to find your Comcast tech.

    At 1pm, I called Shy in dispatch because Comcast expects me to follow up with them first when someone does not show up. Shy paused and asked if I had cancelled my service, because the person she had scheduled to show up by 12:20 had a cancelled ticket from me. She apologized and said it was a Comcast issue (be still my heart) and she would arrange a new call between 1pm and 3pm today. At 1:38 Comcast called me (woo hoo! I am special!) and told me the tech would be at my home between 1 and 3pm (it was 1:38pm) and more than likely would be here by 2pm.

    Are you sensing a pattern? 2:03, let's call Comcast up to see how their automated system is working. Hello "we are unsure of the arrival time of your tech, please hold for an agent." John comes on the phone, and he is good, and empathetic, and talks about under committing and over performing. He wants to take ownership of the issues - now someone is talking my language - and will call me back to follow up to see how the installation goes.

    3pm, who let the dogs out? Me, they were tired of being cramped up. 3:07pm, called Sacramento dispatch to talk to my Pixar friend Shy, no answer went into some IVR hell with options such as "choose 4 for Not Home Service". Hung up, called 800 number. My computer friend again said unsure when tech would arrive, passed me to an agent. She is trying to connect me to a supervisor. They are all busy exceeding customer expectations on other calls, and I ask her if she can have an agent call me back.

    I was in tears, begging, pleading, on my knees - please stop the Xfinity, I mean insanity! She said "no", there is no option to have a manager call me back, but they review all these types of cases so they can resolve them and prevent from happening again. I asked her, "do you resolve these issues without talking or following up with the customer directly?" And she said… wait for it… "yes". I asked her "how can you provide customer service without involving the customer? How do you not have an option to have a manager or supervisor call a customer back?"

    As I was on the phone with the customer service person the tech showed up. His name is NoName or we can call him Tech 7546. He never introduced himself. As he walked in carrying dirt on his shoes (btw AT&T tech all put on booties over shoes when they come into homes) and smelling of an overflowing ashtray (he does not drive for Uber in his spare time) he said he was from Comcast (thank you!), and then he was on time for his 3pm-5pm appointment. Valerie came home and could not park, because NoName parked in her spot in driveway instead of on street.

    He was on time! Thank you #Xfinity! I love Comcast for showing up on time 3 hours late. But they continued to exceed my expectations, my pretties! "Hmm, there is no cable here, you need to have one installed". "Yes", I responded, "just like the work order I put in requested. Let me show you the attic access I have had cleared out for you all week". NoName went outside, checked the box, came back with his ladder and more dirt because Comcast wants us to exercise after they leave, thank you for thinking about me. He looks in attic and says, "I cannot fit in there. We need a smaller tech and it is hot in the attic. I cannot do this job".

    NoName is skinnier than me, I can get in the attic, and we had 3 people in there last week cabling electrical and network cables without an issue. NoName leaves, head down, shoulders sunken back to his truck. 10 minutes later, I get a call from Comcast. They are calling me! Publishers Clearing House must be outside! What did I win? "Hello", she said, "we need to reschedule for Saturday. The installation should be done early in morning because it is hot in the attic, in Florida, in the summer, during the day when we do our jobs." I asked her, "like between 10 am-12 noon?" She said "yes", but had an 8-9am opening. Oh Joy! Comcast will allow me to wake up earlier to set expectation of not showing up that much better!

    But I missed John's call. Yes, John who wanted to help and take ownership called me back at 3:26, and apologized for not calling at 3pm. "I see the tech arrived at 2:45, hope all went well and I will call you back shortly". 2:45?? Well he is closest to the pin, and he did call back so I give him kudos for doing what he said. So now we wait, I called Executive Customer Relations in Philadelphia, where the difference between normal customer service reps and Executive ones is the Executive team has access to better drugs. They are on morphine and do not have any emotions after dealing with issues like this all day long. She tells me a manager will call me back within 24 hours. I asked her "24 hours Comcast time?" There was no response.

    So now it is Minions time, the Amc 8 Movies Sunrise serves alcohol so it should make the movie even better. At least I will feel better, whilst I dream of little Comcast trucks driving around a neighborhood but never stopping anywhere. And I have XFINITY to thank for showing me how sales and customer service are supposed to work, and exceeding customer expectations. The $20 gift card or 3 months of premium cable service (did I mention I am only an Internet subscriber, not TV?) will go far to recapture the glorious moments of the past 8 hours, as there was the epitome of what a Friday should be.

    After having the installation it became clear the salesman had NO working knowledge of technology side of the business. The salesman also gave a quote that was far off. For example, the installation was supposed to be $19.95 (Special promotion, he said), but ended up being $35. Then I was told I could use my own modem (I specifically asked if it would be compatible). He resoundingly said “it would work just fine” -- WRONG! That's another $10, plus tax, a month for the Xfinity/Comcast modem (Or you can purchase one from Best Buy for $200). In addition, there is almost $25 of extra fees/taxes, not including the sales tax! Just ridiculous!

    I was reassured emphatically that the amount at the bottom of the page was the final charge plus the normal sales tax - the great promotion they had going, he said. THEN to top it all off, when I called and spoke to a sales representative (assuming it was all just a billing mistake), not only did they do NOTHING to fix the bill (in fact the charges were defended), but the woman PURPOSELY gave me the wrong date of 30 new install termination so I would have to pay the $230 early termination fee. Also, shockingly, an hour later my conversation with the sales representative all of our on-demand disappeared -- the system said we were not subscribed -- of which was supposed to be part of the promotion I signed up for...

I currently have/had DIRECTV which I am happy with but I just needed internet. Went to the Comcast office. They told me I can get 150 mbps internet for $54.99 a month with free cable at $0.00 and HBO. I was fully aware that it was up to me to cancel with 12 month or they will increase my bill automatically which I brought to the rep's attention and she confirmed. Installation would be $67.00. I knew after reading the disclaimer that was a mere estimated quote. Took time off work. Comcast comes out and explains to me what they need to to do get me internet. They would basically need to wire darn near my entire grid on my power line poles some distance away (3 power line poles crossing several private properties).

    I knew that wouldn't cost $67. No way, considering I'm a supervisor in the maintenance field. I know this game. I get an email about the appointment they made to execute the configuration in the neighborhood. I didn't have time to ask my neighbor's permission for Comcast to access their properties as that's just too much. Directv sent me a modem and it took me 30 mins. to install on my own. That all I wanted. So I call after hours (they claim they are 24 hour service hotline). After I finally get navigate the option to find downgrade or deactivate the automated system tells me something like "The automated system is currently closed. Call back Mon-Fri 7 AM-7 PM". Mind you my personal phone number was logged in to their automated system and they knew my account info based on my phone ID.

    I called while at work just hours before they were to install and each time I called I was immediately directed to a message stating "The circuits are down. Please call again later". I called 15 times repeatedly. And lucky me, I have a work phone. I immediately call and guess what, it connects. They didn't have that number on file. Eventually after repeatedly explaining I don't want their service as they continue to attend a reschedule the install, I tell the guy "Have a good day." As he is hanging up he says "Yeah whatever".

Well, I got my first online billing (but no actual PDF of the bill) which was $154 not $110 - At the next opportunity I bundled up my equipment and went to my local office to cancel the tv service; however, I was told by the office rep that I only had 30 days to cancel, not 90 and I would have to pay $240 to cancel my service. She refused to cancel my television service but did take my equipment. Now I have no tv, but I'm still being billed because they are refusing to honor the 90 days or to cancel my service. How can they get away with this?

    I have Comcast Service at my home in Florida, as well as in New Jersey. Customer service appears to be outsourced, and attempting to explain a problem appears to "suffer in translation." I am now having problems in New Jersey, after attempting to deal with a problem in Florida with minimal success. I cringe at the possibility of having to call a Comcast representative again to resolve a problem.

    Internet service off and on for last two months as of the 29th of June. No service for 3 days, July 2nd 2014. No realistic eta on resolution. IVR keeps stating a time frame of when services can be up and extending it. Reached out to local office tech supervisor in Lake County with no response. Reps are rude and disrespectful. When asking for a manager they state there is no one available. No one has answers or keeps you informed. Even for a compensation of credit you have to call to inform for it to be documented and then call back when the service is back up to get credit. I have no service and I am treated rudely and unfairly. I am told I have to deal with it and wait without knowing when I will have service. This is not an isolated issue.

I have looked at programs to watch, and it will buy the item just by clicking info on it. I let most of this go. I have even paid for programs I did not order on occasion because customer service is so difficult to deal with.

    Last evening I tried watching a video and it came up that I needed to contact CS for billing. This was midnight. If you call the number they give you on the screen, you are told it is not during business hours and you need to call back. If you go through the entire menu and push other areas, having to do with paying your bill, all of a sudden there is a live person to talk to.

    I will not make any politically incorrect statements but CS reps are unable to speak clearly. Do not know the language. The first person verified me quickly, told me I had reached my video credit for the month! And needed to put in for EXTRA video credit for me! He hung up on me after I was put on hold for 10 mins. I called back and as the rep who answered began I could hear this other person in the background talking! I told her what happened, and all of a sudden she said I was not a verified user on the account! I have always been for 12 years. She insisted I wasn't.

    I asked for a supervisor. He got on after 15 mins and said I wasn't a verified user. Both reps told me I could go fly a kite pretty much for all they care. Today, I called to find out what the issue was, and lo and behold, I am of course a verified user, and it seems there are tons of orders for a program we never ordered, but they insisted we did.

But each month my bill is higher than the amount. One representative noticed my GB were lower than they should be. When instructed to phone the Internet Customer Security Assurance Department, after holding for over an hour or more, I was informed that the rep was incorrect in telling me that my usage was capped incorrectly.

    And furthermore I was told that in my area, Comcast only offers a certain amount of 300 GB. On the online image of my account it stated 250 GB are what I'm presently receiving. I'm told by Comcast that my usage exceeds 1000 GB. But Comcast does not know why. I followed all Comcast steps and still my usage exceeds. This practice is unfair practices to customers.

Three technician visits and one scheduled, the trouble with service continues. Since I didn't get any internet they promised to compensate for the time and here they start malpractices as I should put it. Compensation did show up on the online account so I didn't pay anything for that month and I was at least relieved. But when I was to pay this month’s bill everything from the last month appeared back and an additional 70$ charge was mentioned for technicians visit.

    I did what any troubled consumer would do, I called their billing department. What happened on the call was shocking least to say. The lady on the phone kept on reading from the present bill and was absolutely deceitful & impolite. She kept on heckling me throughout the call and was venting spleen. After 45 minutes of discussion she offered me to take out the technician fee and told me to pay for rest of the bill even for the time when I couldn't use the internet.

    The conclusion is, cheating the consumer is not going to fructify and with a bitter heart I am saying that if you can't provide the services and solutions then don't promise to your customer. You exist because we are using your services. The day we decide to move away you will cease to exist.

    Comcast seems to get a lot of hate, but I have never had an issue with them. I've been a customer on and off for the past 12 years, and my parents were customers before that. My spouse was in the Army so we moved every 9-36 months. We got Comcast for our internet (and sometimes cable and phone) whenever we were in an area that Comcast offered service. Every charge was explained beforehand. Any service issues were fixed within 3 days (usually within hours or even minutes). Customer service representatives were always easy-to-understand and helpful. Internet speeds are decent (I can browse the internet, have the kids watch Netflix, and my husband and his friend can World of Warcraft on 2 different devices, all at the same time with no issues.)

    Installation is cheaper than some other companies (we can choose to do it ourselves and skip the fees). They are military-friendly. We have had to cut our contract short a few times due to unexpected (less than a month's notice) moves, and we were never charged a fee. They even offer services/bundles without a contract, so there is no cancellation fee. When we last had to move unexpectedly a few months ago, we were even able to get our Comcast Xfinity Internet and Cable switched the same day! Comcast isn't perfect, but in my experience, I (luckily) haven't had any serious issues.

    Comcast charged me for the Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight that did not play. They claimed that shows up in their system as the event did play for 54 minutes, when in fact it did not. I have an SD box so I ordered it on the phone in Standard Definition and they charged me for HD. They said that in their system shows up as if I ordered from the box in HD. The fact is that I could not play the fight. When I try to call, the lines were super busy because apparently million of people were having the same issue. I've waited on the lines for approximately hour and a half and finally gave up and hang up. The charge did not show up in my account online, so I assumed I was not going to be charged with all that fuzz going on. And of course I forgot about it because believe it or not some people do have to work for a living and can not be on the phone all day and make our lives about Comcast.

    Of course a month later the $99 dollars show up on my account and when I called they said it was too late, that I should have call earlier. When I said that I call that same day, they said that I should have call the next day. I tried to explain that I can not make my life about them, but that did not help. I spoke to a guy in Spanish and he escalated the claim saying that by mistake the show was provided in HD and that couldn't be played it on a SD box. Of course a week later the charge was still on my account. When I called they said that my claim was denied by their credit department (Of course they did not bother notifying me). And the new representative told me that despite the fact it was in HD my box can play it anyway. Of course I'm technically savvy and I'm telling you the pay-per-view did not play in the 810 channel they claimed.

    Under pressure he gave me the option to discount $25 dollars that that's the only thing I'm ever going to get. And of course after having fought with 3 reps I was emotionally exhausted and finally gave up I took the $25 discount because it was not worth my emotional health and my time to keep fighting for $99 dollars. Of course by giving me those $25 dollars under cohesion they protect themselves from further claims I suppose. But regardless I feel this is a great injustice, especially after giving Comcast thousands upon thousands of dollars and they do not have any client consideration. And of course because they are a monopoly I can't cancel their service, because they are the only ISP in my area.

The young lady said, "Oh I will get you fixed up and you can have better, faster service at a better price." "What? Really? Ok, are you sure?" "Yes, and it will not ever go up!"

    Three months later I pull a letter out of the mailbox that says, we are so sorry, we have made a mistake and the price will now be 10.00 more a month starting next month. We did not charge you for the modem. So, I called and explained the arrangement of my monthly payment and was told after climbing up the "chain" of professional bargainers that we are truly sorry, but you have to pay the 10.00 because of our error. I believe the large civil lawsuit that was filed against Comcast in Philadelphia that states Comcast will pay out $16.67 million in cash for overcharging customers, should have been an idea to let's do things right the first time. Guess they didn't learn a thing?

    So, I was a loyal Comcast customer for over 10 years, beginning in 2000. Then, I started having trouble with some of my services and decided to give AT&T U-Verse a shot, since they finally showed up in my community. Loved it, loved them, and loved their consistent attention and care for their customers not to say they don't have issues at times, but they handle things so very well that they make you feel bad for even bringing it up. That said I had to move, just up the street to a new community, and I am being forced to use Comcast (Bulk services?). I upgraded to the triple play back on the 5th of June, and was told that the equipment would be delivered within 3-5 business days. Great. Fantastic.

    On the 10th I called just to see where things were, to ask when I might be receiving my equipment, and was told that the order was still sitting in their system with a "pending" status, so had never been forwarded to the warehouse that ships the equipment. I asked how that could possibly have happened, and I also asked what would have been the outcome had I not called to check. Dude said, "No one would have known if you had not called" What?! So I said, "Alrighty then. Let's get that fixed -- and by the way can you send that to me fast-tracked, since I am now without TV, Internet, or phone?" He said, "No problem. Just one thing though, you're gonna need to pay $29 for the quicker shipment." At that point I was so frustrated that I just said whatever and he said they would "share" the cost with me. You know, like it was MY fault that they didn't do their jobs correctly the first time. Fine.

    On the 15th, still no equipment. Third call. "Oh, wait. We just now sent that package out to you and we don't have any actual tracking information to help determine when you will actually get the package. Could be tomorrow, could be a couple of days after that." Package showed up on the 16th. But wait, there were only two of the four pieces of equipment I was expecting. Fourth call. Rep says, "Your account activity actually shows that it's been cancelled...and it looks like prior to the cancellation, there were only two pieces of equipment ordered." What?! Yep...four reps and two supervisors later, I am being told that I now have to wait for a call tomorrow (18th) for the account to be straightened out and if I try to make any changes to the account (since none of the reps actually got my itemization correct), then "the audit department would make it so that NO SERVICES would be connected at my location" What?!

    The last rep I spoke to acted as if I had called back all those times to make changes to my order, when in fact, each time I called back -- BECAUSE OF THEIR TOTAL AND COMPLETE LACK OF COMPETENCE -- I had them read back to me what was shown in the order and IT WAS NEVER CORRECT. How is that my fault? These folks really don't give a crap about customer service or just plain SERVICE for that matter. I just don't get how they can all be so callous regarding how they affect our lives. I know they have a ton of customers, and I know they have it so that you are basically stuck in certain situations or areas; however, know this...depending on where you live, work, & play, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THEM AT ALL. I have the option to split up my services and only take the Basic/Expanded that the complex forces us to use and I will use another company for my internet and phone.

I went to the extreme of paying an additional $12 a month to boost my internet speed, with absolutely NO positive changes or results. Furthermore...and mark my words: there is no solution. No matter how much money you pay to correct this - no matter how many calls you make to reset your modem (which I pay EXTRA for Comcast to provide) - NOTHING will make this situation better.

    The internet connection is so pathetic I OFTEN cannot even download a browser connection. Think twice before paying for their services! To be perfectly honest, I have spoken to some extremely accommodating representatives who have tried their damnedest to help me - but no matter how many amazing friendly representatives you reach, nothing, absolutely NOTHING resolves my issues with high speed internet. Think twice! I tell ya.

    Every day I have problems with my internet and home phone. I go on Youtube and it stops working, keeps breaking up two to five minutes to get on a site. Comcast cable has been out to my house so many times I can't remember. It took three or four Comcast repairmen to fix my phone. The last one one minute fixed because none of them know what they are doing. They need to be certified. Three times they told I need a new phone. Anyway where I live the service sucks.

    I tried to reach Comcast customer support because my data usage has gone through the roof for no apparent reason. By phone: I called the support number on the website. Support said for data usage issues I should press 1. I pressed 1. Then I was offered two options that would not have helped me. I did nothing. Comcast hung up. I tried the same scenario again, with the same result. By phone again: This time I called and did not press 1. That led to more options, none of which related to my issue. I pressed nothing, and Comcast hung up. By chat: I got just a few lines into a chat, and the chat window froze. End of short discussion. By email: Then I chose the email option for support. Over 12 hours later, no response.

    By chat again: So I tried chat again, just now, because this extreme data usage (287GB in just 12 days) will end up costing me big overage fees. This time I was able to have a conversation, be it at a slow pace. And I had to repeat my main question to finally get the answer that, "No, there isn't a way to monitor hour-to-hour usage" to try to troubleshoot what is causing the problem. At some point, I finally had to end the chat because I did not anticipate it taking so long. Before I had to leave the chat, I asked the support agent to send me any other suggestions or information. When I was able to return to the computer, the chat window was closed (no final message), and I have received no email, either.

    Priority zero: Comcast's customer service boss says we customers are priority one. I think he missed it by one digit. Now I have a choice to unplug internet until I find a solution or a new ISP... OR continue to rely on internet service and end up with usage three times the normal and costing probably $60 to $70 in overage charges this month.

    For anyone who wants a good laugh please read. There are many things that are common complaints made by customers, like taking hours on the phone, or bait and switch pricing, or never getting an issue fixed. And we know Comcast knows, but they never admit it. Until today. Today, I called Comcast, because I'm in my 12 month promotional period and my price keeps getting increased. Below is what I learned.

    My bill is in two parts, one part is promotional and has not increased, the second non-promotional part was increased. I was told this meant they were maintaining the promotional price. Comcast told me they had no power to change my price back, because it was set by the system. I asked to speak to the person in the company who sets prices. I was told that there is NO Comcast employee who sets prices, but that they're system generated.

    After, finding out the above, I came to the obvious conclusion that the sales people offer promotional prices, with no intention of the customer keeping them. After all, it is literally impossible for Comcast to maintain that price, because the computer can change prices at will, and no one in the company can undo it. To check my reasoning, I asked the Comcast employee on the line this same question who confirmed it. I explained the above and asked, "So I was offered a promotional price and Comcast had no intention of giving me that price." She said, "That is correct."

    I suggested just taking $X dollars off my price. I was told that wasn't an option for a price in the system. I then asked to speak to their IT group to get that fixed for her. She happily said, "yes, of course." (I then asked her not to connect me. That would be worthless). Even better, Comcast has this recorded. I'd love to see how their leadership responds to knowing that their phones reps are telling customers that all their marketing is just a bait and switch scam.

When I make phone calls, the number that appears in the callers ID's is not mine - is the temporary one. Usually my bank pay my bills, but this month I check the Comcast bill and noticed charges for services that I never asked for.

    It is so Shaming. I was about to go with Verizon for my business with one phone line and internet they were offering me 112$ month to month. Just called to ask the price from Comcast the guy there told me that taxes in Verizon are high and Comcast is the best. I have signed my lease for business which I closed for a year but Comcast without telling me signed me up for 3 years. The person on the phone never told me that I am going to have Comcast in next 3 years even though I had my lease for one year. I called to customer service to cancel it and found out that I am stuck with them and the worst part is they don't let me go out of contract without signing the paper that I am going to pay them 75% of left contract.

    I have taken Contracts law and never saw similar type of contract when one party tries to go out of contract he can not. This is my civil right to break the contract. and by contract law the damage I caused I might be paying but in this case the damage for Comcast will be 120$ 10 $ a month discount that they gave me. So instead of paying 120$ more a year they now inducing me to pay 75 %, ridiculous. I have contacted to Comcast several times , asked the supervisor they told me they are going to call me and I have never received a call. Last time when I talked to representative in Comcast I asked her to give me in writing that somebody is going to call me but I have never heard anything.

    From the first day, our experience with Comcast has been terrible. The first installer was hours late. He did a sloppy installation, leaving a giant coil of cable and not installing connectors correctly. The second technician said the first was a contractor and "that happens" - as if that should excuse it. Since then there have been non-stop problems with the set top boxes and the network/phone interface. Other Comcast Voice customers often can't hear our voice when we call. One of our four setup boxes malfunction or lock up on the average - approximately once per week.

    Solution from customer service rep every time we call in after waiting 10 to 20 minutes on hold - unplug, reboot, and wait 5 minutes for the defective box to restart. We have had the service for 9 months. It was bad as ever. I recently turned off the WiFi portion of the cable modem and installed an external unit that I bought because the Comcast WiFi kept going up and down all the time. I am looking at ways of trimming back on Comcast triple-play bundle services and substituting other vendors until our 2 year contract is up. Never again!!

    I have been a long time customer with Comcast - 11+ years at one location. Overall my service with them has been great! Their Customer Service Department has always been helpful and would "talk me off the ledge" whenever I was upset (which was not often) - UNTIL NOW! Several weeks ago I called them to just "inquire" about the cost of a popular fight that my boyfriend wanted to order (Note: I was just "inquiring on the fee not to order). During this call the young lady mentioned she could LOWER my bill by offering me this "new technology DVR". I am not a technical person but always interested in lowering my bill if the service would not change - only would improve! She "assured" me it would go from $143/month down to $121/month. She did not inform me of any install fees or equipment fees. She said it would just be less with better technology. I agreed and scheduled a time for a Technician to come and install it.

    A Contract Working (very nice young man) arrived and installed the new DVR. I was impressed with all the features and I was excited about all of its features. (record 4 shows at one time as opposed to just two). After he left on that Saturday morning it was great for less than 24 hours. I was having to unplug the DVR to "reboot" the system, wait 10 minutes for it to reconnect. Sometimes this would work - other times not all. I would go several hours without any service and was forced to watch a small t.v. in my bedroom and forced to watch commercials! And now it doesn't work at all during the evening. :-( Also, the internet is running very poorly now as well, takes anywhere from a minimum of 5 minutes to as long as 12 minutes to connect. I've never had such poor service with Comcast. Horrible!!

    I have spent most of my evenings talking/complaining to Comcast. I have had a technician come out to rectify the problem. He spent a half hour fixing connections in my walls. That seemed to work for about a day. I then got my first bill. What a nightmare experience that was. The bill was for $355. I immediately got on the phone with Comcast to have that error rectified. The original call I made to just "inquire" about the cost of the fight - the woman from Comcast scheduled the fight on my bill. She also loaded me up with Triple Play (DVR, internet, and phone). I do not even own a home phone line. Ugh! I also had installation charges and fees that were never explained to me. After 2.5 hours of talking to Comcast Supervisors they were able to "talk me off the cliff". All the charges were waived - including a $70 fee to send a Technician to my house to fix this DVR issue - which this fee was NEVER explained to me either.

    This is Comcast equipment that has never worked correctly and they are CHARGING the consumer to make it right. What??? After much energy and time they lowered my bill below $100 and gave me three movie channels and they guaranteed me that my bill will remain at this rate for two years. After three weeks of virtually no service, after nightly phone calls to Comcast, after scheduling another Technician to come out to see if they can rectify this ongoing issue I have decided it is not worth it any longer. I want my old DVR back. Now they tell me that they are phasing out the old Legacy DVR - we will all be forced to use this new technology that doesn't work. I will be leaving Comcast soon!

    First month after that, no problems. Second month, my bill comes in and sure enough, I'm being charged for data overages. Called up Comcast again. 45 minute wait time. Just to be told that I was never signed up for any 500gb data cap plan, that the month where I wasn't charged for overages was a month where they had given me a "pass"...one of three months allotted for customers who go over their data allotment. I've been going over my data plan for two years straight. I used those three months up the first three months they began instituting data caps. Liars. That's all these people do.

    Comcast is terrible. I don't usually do reviews, but this time I feel that the potential Comcast customers should know what they are getting into once they sign up for Comcast services. I have been with Comcast the past 5 years and I never saw the services so bad. I signed up for a triple play with maximum 125 MBPS blast internet speed. That was what I was told in the beginning. Everything went pretty well till this March when things started to go really awry.

    First the speed came down to about 40-45 MBPS. But I didn't complain much because it was still good enough for browsing. But in April, 2015 I wanted to watch some cricket matches (the world cup) by live streaming. I just could not get my TV stream anything. I complained to customer services, and after about 5 days they did send out a technician. Have you ever had a Comcast technician come and fix the problem for you? They are so bloody arrogant and make you feel so low.

    Typical attitude: How stupid are you not to be able to figure out the solution for yourself; They do something and tell you everything will be fine from now. And the problem remains and you have no idea what was the issue and what he fixed. They make you feel like they are bestowing a huge honor just by showing up to your door. They are always out of the door in 5 minutes max. So the problem remained and I complained to customers services again. After another week or so they let me know that maybe the problem is with the router. So they said someone will come and replace the router and everything will be fine.

    The technician came, installed a new router and was out of my place before the router was actually online. Before leaving, he asked me to get an usb cable and other things from Amazon to speed up my services. I had absolutely no idea what he was talking about when I am supposed to have a wireless connection for all devices and I have a small apartment and all devices are close to the router. Finally I decided I have had enough (my internet speed is now down to 15 MBPS) and I cancelled the services from June 4, 2015. I called them o/a May 24 and schedule return of all equipment. I also pay all my outstanding bills. Imagine my consternation I receive a new bill of $122 for services from June 4 to July 3, 2015.

    I called the customer services again and somehow navigate my way to speak to someone at the payments department. I tell him my problem and he asks me to call cancellation department and resolve this. I request him to send a note to cancellation department or maybe talk to them internally to resolve my problem. He flatly tells me, that's not something they do and it is my responsibility that I resolve it with cancellation department. Ridiculous internal communication and follow up. I guess in order to not be charged with bills for services not received, I shall have to call them again. So sad. Comcast used to be a good company. Next time I will choose a smaller service provider who will attend to my needs and solve my problem. I wish some of us will get together and file a class action suit to hold these Company to better standards. You pay a lot and in return you are treated so bad that it hurts.

I'm paying not only for bad internet service (if you even want to consider service that hardly works as SERVICE) but also for the stress and hair-pulling of trying to get work done online when I can't even stay connected for more than a couple of minutes. If there's anything that represents foul corporations that steal from their clients, it's Comcast. I'd definitely prefer a root canal, labor, or a car accident than to deal with Comcast again. We're switching, PERMANENTLY, this month.

    I have been a loyal customer for more than five years and I have been experiencing a poor internet service and an astonishing amount of negligence to solve it.

    My last two bills have been $158 and $190 for 50 mbps internet and basic cable plus latino package. YES, but the worst part is, I usually receive less than 10 mbps and sometimes a ridiculous reading of 1 or 2 mbps. I work from home and my internet disconnects at least FIVE times a day, impacting my productivity. I can't watch a Netflix movie entirely because I lost signal and I can't work wirelessly because the signal is "schizophrenic." Comcast sent an IT tech who did nothing but to unplug and plug my modem and tried to engage me in "Personal Business" asking me to let him "do the job" outside of Comcast...totally unacceptable.

    The worst part...I was charged $70 for that atrocity. I was given a partial credit on that. Another technician visited my place and told me that the service cannot be improved. I consulted my neighbors and they told me that their service is very poor. Comcast has been negligent to improve the service in my building but have collected based on a bad service. When I called about this situation, the representative suggested me that the only thing to do is to change my speed connection to 100 mbps and bundle my services. He offered it as a courtesy for the horrible services, but I only received more mislead. I was charged with this "change in speed" and my bill went from $130 to $155, and my DVR services were suspended. When I called to inquire about it they told me that the DVR would cost extra.

    In sum, I have been paying for an internet service of 50 mbps and I only receive 10 in average and sometimes as low as 1 mbps. COMCAST is aware of the situation but negligent to solve it. The building has a bad connectivity but they prefer to deal with each customer directly before solving the root of the problem. They charge money for a service they don't provide and they are negligent to solve it.

    So I bought my own modem because paying $10 a month to rent is a total waste for a $70 item. They took the $10 off charge the first month and then added it back on the next. I autopay and didn't look at my bill for 24 months. Then I see the charge, call them, confirm that on their records it states I own the modem. Ask for a refund and they say, "Nope, you have 30 days to dispute." They admit it was their fault, that they were stealing for 2 yrs. Lame.

    Let me start that on 5/9/15 me and my wife paid a deposit AND took care of a past due acct and decided to go with Comcast even though we had an active cable service with a competitor already connected. Sunday cable tech ran new lines to the house and left, NO signal from the new line, no internet all day, called 5 times and they assured me that MON. we would have service, guess what - NO service on Monday. Come to find out it was an open ticket for 8am to 8 pm. I lost my cool and they bumped me up to an "escalated" ticket for Tuesday. Guess what here it is Tuesday and NO tech no internet, I have called again at 5 more times and they said now they had me on an open ticket for all day... AGAIN! Now here it is going into Wed and I have an automated msg stating that I will have a service visit on Wed. from 1-3 pm. Let's see if this happens...

    I am SO frustrated at this whole ordeal, I don't even HAVE service and paid for it. The outsourcing aggravates me and every time I call I get some Indian csr with an English name like ** that has NO Clue to what's going on unless he reads my notations on my account which has been nothing but call after call after call waiting for a tech to activate my line for internet. I feel so stupid for disconnecting the other provider and it was ALREADY connected and running to my domicile!

    Here's what I learned, IF new cable has to be ran... that's what you get - ONE guy runs the cable, later a tech checks and activates the line on another date. NO MATTER how much or how many times you call, they will say anything to get you out of their hair, ANYTHING! The best thing to do is stay on the line as long as possible with them and hang up when done... why? Because every CSR is rated on how fast they get you done, that accounts for a Bonus, the longer you're on the lower their score, that lowers their bonus. Comcast service on the field sucks and this is before I actually have service with them JUST for internet.

    Comcast is basically inept. As an owner of residential properties in South Florida, I have cause to subscribe to the internet for seasonal tenants. Comcast is not set up for this. What surprises me is that with as many rental property's that are in South Florida, you would think that they deal with situations such as this where there's policy and procedures. They can't get it right the first time ever.

    Last year I attempted to pay for the complete service in advance, and have the service turned off automatically. They can't do this. When you live in another city and attempt to resolve issues for your own account, they need your account number. There's no way to get it. Unless you have the account # you can't help yourself, and if you are not in S. Florida, you can't just pop into one of their offices and help yourself. It took me between 25 and 30 telephone hours last year only to wind up with a second account when the dust settled and I had to start over.

    This year, armed with the account number I attempted to pay over the telephone, and they got it wrong again. The details are too arduous to list here. I attempted to pay my tenants internet bill on the telephone and after asking the total amount owed for the entire length of the stay, they still got it wrong. It only took 56 minutes this time to get to a resolution, (We'll see) but I needed to acquiesce to paying a reinstallation of my TV service just to save having to get onto another department. This, even though I pay for the TV as part of my HOA maintenance fee. They never should have turned off my TV in the first place! I've never been late with my condo maintenance!! In the case of my internet commitment, I attempted to pay in full 3 days after I asked to have it shut down (BTW, they didn't do that either) and they were still billing me for the subsequent month of April!

    I thought all that I went through was possibly because I'm an imbecile, but last month at a gathering of 30 people up in Sebastian, FL, someone brought up the topic of the ineptitude of Comcast, and all hell broke loose. Everyone in attendance was attempting to top the prior complaining attendee with yet another tale of woe from their own past Comcast experiences. This actually made me feel better as it's an indication that Comcast is actually poorly run and it wasn't me!

    So, without other recourse in dealing with this monopoly, I can only attempt to warn others. When you speak to a Comcast employee, first ask for their name and company ID. For you see, if the call becomes too difficult for them they just drop you off the line and you will need to start over. Thanks to you who have read this. I hope that my comments help to preclude the loss of time patience and money of other unsuspecting Comcast consumer.

    I had two internet options available to me when I first moved here about 10 years ago; Qwest DSL and Comcast Cable. I had questions about both and so contacted both companies; I made my decision to go with Comcast based solely on one thing: it was easy to reach real people who spoke English with Comcast, while I never could figure out how to talk to a person at Qwest.

    Everything was fine for a few years, but then it started falling apart. My internet started disconnecting with increasing frequency, until it was happening several times an hour. I work two jobs from home, both of which require internet connection, so this was not only frustrating but also costly. I called customer service and they told me to get a new modem. I drove 100+ miles to the nearest Comcast store and got one. Problem solved... for about 9 months, when it started disconnecting several times an hour again.

    This time I noticed something... the disconnecting was only happening in the daytime on hot, sunny days. Obviously some connection somewhere was expanding with the heat and messing up the connection, or something. The correlation was so strong that I could predict what days I would have connection issues by looking at the weather forecast. I called Comcast to report my findings in the hope they'd be able to really fix the issue, and this was when I discovered customer service no longer spoke English very well. But, I was able to get someone out who fixed some connection in the ground that was shorting out. Internet worked great... until next summer.

    Since then, for the last 5 or 6 years, every summer is a constant battle. I can go weeks without having a full day of continual connection. I can't make the customer service reps understand my problem.... they just tell me to "unplug the modem for 15 seconds or to get a new modem." It is incredibly insulting to be sitting there on hold with your internet down while their stupid robot voice tells you to go online to check for outages. It's even more insulting when they try to get you to pay more for extra crap I don't want when what I already have doesn't work.

    I would switch to Qwest but my roommate has been battling with them for years too, though for different issues. The only other options around here are all dial-up (did you know they still even had dial-up?!) and that's just not good enough for my jobs. It's an incredibly frustrating situation and oh how I look forward to the day there is another option available... I'd even be willing to set aside my long-standing hatred of Google and try their service. It can't possibly be worse.

If you're not able to get your cable and Internet pricing lowered, hang up and call back to get someone else. It took me 6 different people to finally talk to someone who was able to give me a fair and cheap price for my service. When I have a technical problem and the person you start talking to sounds like an idiot, hang up. They probably are.

    You will end up wasting your time on this person only to have one of two things happen: 1. They hang up on you because they can't figure it out or 2.

    I have been a Comcast customer since 2011. A couple of days ago Comcast inexplicably disconnected my internet services. When I contacted customer support, I was initially transferred between multiple departments. Finally, one representative told me that there was service outage in my area, that technicians were working on the problem, and that I would be re-connected at 7:30pm that evening. This did not happen.

    Concerned because I had several papers due and needed the internet for research purposes, I contacted Comcast's customer services a second time. This time was told that my account had been deactivated and that in order to reactivate it, I would need to purchase wifi services ($39.99) and a self-installation kit ($9.95). I was told that I could either travel to a local service center or wait 3-5 business days for a kit to be mailed. I chose to wait for the kit to be mailed because I did not have time to travel to the service center.

    Because I needed internet service to complete work for school, I ended up using my cellular hotspot for several days while waiting for the self-installation kit. Charges for the additional data totaled nearly $100. When I finally received the self-installation kit, I opened it to find two coaxial cables, a bag of cable tacks, and a splitter. Although I had been told that the kit would contain an activation code, there was no such code in the kit. I did not know what to do with the items I did receive so, once again, I contacted Comcast's customer support.

    The first representative I spoke with was unable to help me and told me that my account was in "inactive mode." He then transferred me to another department. The second Comcast representative I spoke with was also unable to help but told me that he had "escalated my issue to upper management." He then transferred me to another department. Finally, the third representative I spoke with was able to reconnect my internet. At no point were any of the items in the self-installation kit used.

    Worst of all, no one bothered to mention that Comcast might have a wifi hotspot in my area that I could use while I was waiting to be reconnected. I only found out that this option was available after a friend mentioned it while I was chatting with the Comcast representative who was finally able to reconnect me. Obviously, by that time this was a moot point. This entire process was exhausting and completely uncoordinated. Each representative I spoke with asked me to list the same information and apparently Comcast kept no record kept of the issue because I also had to describe my problem each time. At no point was I given an explanation for why my service had been disconnected.

    Got Comcast a few months back. Not only are they unable to provide the internet signal I am paying for - they give me the complete run around every time you call the support. The "agents" consistently switch me from one channel to the other and the result stays the same, the signal goes down 3-10 minutes for every 30 minutes of use. I have been switched between channels approximately 8 times now, I have also been sent to their store for a replacement modem/router and nothing helps. They now tell me that I need a service tech and that I may end up paying for the service tech even though their product never worked to begin with.

    Of course one of their "agents" told me that I could buy an insurance policy for $5 a month so I would not be charged for the service visit. You have got to be kidding me!!! This is the worst company I have ever done business with - it is a fraud, pure and simple. I am being charged for a product that doesn't work!! Fraud!!

    Please do not utilize this service. They will promise great things to get you to sign up but no customer service after up to and including outright lies. I was with DirecTV, two HD DVR's, one other HD set top and one other normal definition set top. This was bundled with phone and internet at 6Mbs. The bill for this was at $130.00 roughly.

    I called xfinity/comcast and they quoted me $59/month for 50Mbs internet and phone. I specifically asked that I needed to keep certain channels (espn, amc, natgeo were among these). No mention of installation costs and confirmation that there was no contract but this price was good for two years. I received my first bill of $177. Since this day the nightmare they call customer service has not been able to resolve the billing issue. They insist that I signed up for the "triple play" at $89/month.

    Internet speed averages around 7Mbs. I have called their customer service and the CSR told me that they were having lots of issues with the cisco modem/router combo and that I would get better speeds if I bought my own router and modem. I did so ($250) but the speeds did not change. I called them once again and they sent a tech out 2 days later (two hours late for appointment). He said the signal from the curb to my house was ok, but signal to the area was bad. He stated that an engineer would be send out to correct it. Next day an automated call from comcast informed me the situation was fixed but I am still at 5-12 Mbs. This issue continues...

    Back to tv programming: at least 8 calls have been place to resolve programming. And at each call the situation with my programming gets worse. It even seems there may be some vindication happening as they reduced my service to the basic 30 channels (all crud btw) at midnight last night. When I call them today (Sunday) they say they cannot change service as their resolution center is closed.

    I am a consultant and am now going to be sending invoices at a charge rate of $300/hour for every hour I spent on the phone I am not billing to my customers. 4 hours today and counting. Now it seems they have put my box into deactivated mode. They insist that they cannot restore my channels without a 2-year agreement and $135/month billing rate. Do not do business with these people! Stay with Dish/DirecTV at all costs. The change will not be worth it.

    Basically I was the victim of a bait-and-switch by the XFINITY store at Delk and Powers Ferry during purchase of the XFINITY home security system. I was told verbally during the presentation that it would be cancelled without fee if I moved outside Comcast area. No contract was presented until installation. It was signed for me without my being present. A year later I had to move and was charged a large and exorbitant termination fee. Customer service has been non-existent as I have been lied to, hung up on and kept waiting numerous times without any of the under-trained reps able to even understand the problem, much less assist. Also numerous promises to return my calls were not kept. I will not ever deal with Comcast again and neither should you. Worst experience ever with any company. System is not worth the hassle.

They left the exposed cable across my yard and said it would be at least 6 weeks before they would be back to bury it. I asked, "Why so long?" and their response was that they had other jobs to fulfill. I asked why I would have to wait since it was their error and they had no reason other than "that is the way it is."

    My home wifi was not working all of a sudden on April 13 and I contacted Comcast online to attempt to have it fixed. A woman named ** was working with me and told me I wasn't receiving a signal and would need to plug my modem into my PC. I explained I did not have a PC, only a smartphone and a laptop. She gave me a telephone number to call for help. When calling the number, it was answered as a "non-working number for Comcast". I went back to her and told her this and she gave me two more phone numbers, one which went to Verizon and another which also went to a "non-working number for Comcast". I double checked these numbers for accuracy against what she had typed to me. I promptly told this was absolutely pathetic. I got offline and called Comcast, only to be told that my equipment wasn't registered, which is nonsense, as it has been in use for over two years and had worked the previous day.

    In the meantime, a signal was present only to not work. I called Comcast again and spoke with **, who was very nice but it took some fiery language on my part to him in admonishing Comcast for the incompetence and negligence I had been subjected to for no reason. I told him I wanted to know why my internet was down and what needed to be done to fix it and I didn't want to hear another word out of him except for answers to those questions. After several minutes of back and forth and my basically telling him to get an answer for me this minute, he came back to tell me my Comcast modem is apparently now "old equipment" and must be exchanged. I found this ridiculous, especially given the fact that the previous two people at Comcast never mentioned this! How does this happen? The modem worked on April 13 and all of a sudden on April 14 it does not.

    No notice is sent from Comcast regarding any required equipment changes, it just happens and you are out of luck but still have to pay them? When are the powers that be going to wake up to their scams? ** told me to disconnect the modem and take it to Comcast to be exchanged. So it will be tomorrow afternoon (April 16) before I can do this so I will be without internet service for 3 days and they will still expect me to pay them? This company should not be allowed to be in business… Where is the Better Business Bureau on this?

    Comcast is horrible at customer service mostly because the people you always talk to are so far removed from you, usually India - they have no idea what we are dealing with over here. I will make a list problems I've had with them and they are apparently reoccurring to a sickening degree.

    They always raise the price of my bill which I've read happens to people all the time, adding on ** extras that I never asked for. I have had to call and complain about this about 7 or 8 times in the last few years. The way they always try to resolve this is to give you a 'package deal' which only would result in me paying more money, another tactic that I found out is always used to scam customers. This way they make you think they are saving you money and giving you such a good deal.

    They always say they will change something or adjust your bill and it might change for a month or two and then surprise, next month it's back up again. And no one is held accountable, if you ask them for their names they say, "We are not allowed to divulge that information" so you can never say this specific person promised me blah blah blah and make someone accountable. The only way to beat this I've read is to record all your calls with them and they also have I.D. Numbers so you have to ask them for their ID numbers. But you have to be religious about doing these things and keep track of every detail to use later. They transfer your calls like nobody's business, back and forth between departments so if you have a detailed problem you have to explain it thoroughly 5 times before someone can actually address your problem.

    They also pretend like they can't change your bills themselves when in fact many of these people can. The last battle I had with them I got transferred 3 times when I was about to quit Comcast for good because a new company just moved into my area (Seattle) and I was telling them it's possible for me to pay less. Only then do they listen to you and this woman finally just clicked a button and changed my bill back to 49.95$ per month. And this was after I got a bill for 88.45$ for my monthly charge. And this woman was actually American - after talking to two foreigners they finally transferred me to someone local because they knew I was ready to quit and none of these workers likes to have that on their record because it looks bad on their quotas or how ever they do it.

    And finally after all this pretending like she went out of her way to work really hard to look for a deal she could offer me she promised me to change my bill back to 49 and some change when I check it the next day and it still shows up as 88.45$ that I owe so I am just about to call the map once again to complain. I broke my own rule when I forgot to ask for her ID number to keep her accountable.

    In conclusion I am still constantly looking for a company that is willing to start offering a decent rate for internet service. Comcast is a horrible monopoly for the most part and it's only getting worse. They are buying up smaller companies that can't compete just swallowing them up one by one, like Charter and smaller local companies. Please everybody keep posting your bad reviews and spreading the word, they are just treating customers horribly because they can and we need to stop putting up with it.

    WARNING: Under no circumstances should you consider Xfinity Home Security. We recently installed Xfinity Home Security in our home in San Francisco. The Comcast representative knew we would be moving soon to Pittsburgh PA and assured us that we could transfer our service. Nothing could be further from the truth. We had to battle for weeks to get the service transferred and we had a horrible battle over an early termination fee. Comcast incorrectly billed us twice for installation and we spent days and days on the phone with call center people who could not correct the problem. In the meantime, we needed to disconnect the system for 4 to 6 months while we renovated our home. Comcast refused to discontinue the billing while we had the system shut down. Keep in mind we are paying our Comcast bill at our other address in Pittsburgh.

    After a two-month battle with Comcast, we gave up and returned our Comcast equipment. Comcast told us we needed to return the additional motion detectors we had paid for. We received no refund for the equipment that we had purchased. Several weeks later, we get a call from Comcast Customer Solutions now saying they would consider allowing us a six-month billing delay while we renovated. We asked them how could we ever get our bill corrected? They didn't know. We asked them if we would now be charged for a third installation fee? They did not know. We asked them if we were going to have to buy the additional motion detectors again? They did not know. We respectfully asked them to forgive the early termination fee and they said THEY WOULD PURSUE US FOR THE EARLY TERMINATION FEE.

    Keep in mind, I am paying a monthly fee for Comcast services at my current address. I asked ** if the several hundred dollar early termination fee was worth losing a customer who will be paying Comcast for another 20 or 30 years and he said the early termination fee was more important. We have been a Comcast customer for over 25 years and we are winding down ALL of our services with Comcast. On a scale of 0 to 10, there is not a number low enough to rate Comcast.

    From the very beginning, we've had nothing but problems with Comcast's Internet service. The service will randomly drop and sometimes not return for hours. Every time we call regarding these happenings, Comcast blames our "outdated hardware," regardless of the fact that own the most up-to-date Motorola modem that is on the market. Regardless, this is all beside the point.

    I've had a few dealings recently with Comcast support, and they've only seem to become more and more condescending and less helpful with each conversation. I currently work for Apple from home, and we're set to move into a different unit in our complex at the beginning of next month. Given that they advertise that their Movers Edge service provides a completely seamless transition between locations, I figured it'd be worth setting up a transfer. I was told the transition would take 48 hours. Correct me if I'm wrong, but 48 hours doesn't really fall under the umbrella of "seamless" as far as how most average human being interpret words.

    We're not allotted time to move. We have to do it completely on our own time. So now, thanks to Comcast, I'm going to be forced to take an unpaid day (complete with negative attendance points) due to the fact that they're advertising more than they can actually do for you. Then again, I shouldn't be surprised at this point. Nothing ever works out how it should with this company.

    My two biggest pieces of advice:

    1. Hire employees who are mentally capable of actually empathizing with customers, and who can even remotely come across like they have any idea what they're talking about.

    2. Advertise your services exactly as you provide them. I equate Comcast with used cars salesmen at this point. They do and say whatever they need to do to get you in, and then offer no help once you're there.

    I was a relatively happy Comcast Business Internet customer for several years. I am a physician who is also an IT executive who works out of my home. We built a new house and discovered that Comcast did not offer service at the new location. When we attempted to disconnect the service they would not do anything without my account number. We were on e-billing and the account number was not included in the billing notice. All of our business paperwork was packed and in transit so not available. I spoke with at least 6 different CSRs over a two month period in which several things were promised but not followed up on; sending a paper bill (promised on 3 occasions) which would include the acct. number; a supervisor would call (on 4 occasions, only the last time did it occur); and I was to be transferred to a higher authority and call dropped 3 times.

    Finally in late January, a sympathetic CSR (many were not, some were concerned but didn't know what to do) took the time to directly contact a supervisor who could help with the disconnect and who finally sent me the documentation for a Voluntary Disconnect that included my account number (this process took approximately 45 minutes to accomplish, but a mere pittance compared to the approximately 5 hours I had spent to this point). I filled out the form immediately and returned it. Now, 2 months later I am still receiving bills for service that was no longer being used for 4 months. I was informed that it takes 60 days to perform a disconnect.

    I am willing to pay the 2 months of fees, starting in November, if that is what my contract calls for. However, I am not willing to pay for 4 months. In addition, my time is too valuable to have to spend this much time for ANY business related service.

The customer service representatives were unable to provide a reason for their missed appointment that Saturday. We set another appointment for 3/24/2015 between 1PM and 3PM. The technician did not show up until 6:30 PM. He started working on the thermostat but, when asked how much longer it would take (around 8PM), the technician said that he was almost done but that we wouldn't be able to get heat because "the lines were backwards."

    The technician was getting ready to leave our residence, knowing that we had no heat. My husband asked him to replace the original thermostat as it would be about 32 degrees and we have four children (two 8-year olds, one 6-year old, and a 6-month old). He worked on the original thermostat for about half an hour and then left our residence without notice. The heat was not connected to the thermostat and the thermostat was hanging off of the wall when he left. After multiple attempts to contact Xfinity/Comcast, we were unable to get another technician to our residence and it was unclear whether or not they would bill us for the "service." They also refused to provide a name or ID for the technician so we could file a formal complaint. My husband was on hold for almost an hour and a representative disconnected the call twice. We had to call an emergency service to fix our thermostat and hook it up to the heat which costed $75.

    I signed up 6 months ago for a TV-Internet bundle from Comcast for $80 a month for 2 years. When I first signed up, I asked the guy, "Now, this is going to stay $80 a month for 2 years, right? No going up on the price or any surprise fees being tacked on?" "Oh, no, it'll stay $80 a month for 2 years, no surprises," I was told. Skip forward 6 months, my bill goes to $105. I call Comcast, what the heck? "Well, your DVR fee was a special promotion that ended at 6 months, we're sorry no one told you that." Am seriously considering cutting the cord, just going to internet. DirecTV was more expensive, but in 7 years, never had a problem with customer service or deceitful practices from them. Comcast Sucks!!

    I have called Comcast on July 05, 2013 coz my internet and phone have been going up and down on a daily basis. The story is that I called them but I surprised that the customer rep she was not able to speak English! Then I asked her to transfer my call to another rep, she laughed and kept my call on hold 5 minutes. Another rep his name ** asked me what the problem is, he was very rude. After I explained my issue he said, "Nothing we can do right now!" Later on he kept me on hold and transferred my call to another rep. Again I said the same thing and said they will send a tech the next day.

    On the next day nobody came so I called again but the rep said that it can be fixed from the system!! After that I asked him to talk to the supervisor but he kept me on hold so I hanged. Later on I sent a mail to the same mail that was sent to me when I made my contract but no reply. It is really bad experience with this company! WHY THEY ARE DOING LIKE THAT??

    I talked to a representative Feb 11th and asked her for Double Play (internet and TV). The rep started to tell me that they had great promotions. I told her my pay limits were up to $120 a month. She started saying that she was doing something special for me and that there was a plan with home security, telephone, internet and TV package and all in the price I was looking for; plus she said that she will waive installation fees, send me a $200 gist card and it was not a contract. At that point I said, "Wow what a great deal."

    The 19th of February the guys came in and installed the services and I they asked me to sign a contract, also my bill went from $119 to $185, then from $185 to $354 in just the first 2 weeks. That day my nightmare began. I called every single day since the 19th of February, people from customer services, customer solutions, billing all hung up on me and they did not care about anything at all. It was the worst experience ever. I tried, in every single call, explaining I got services I did not ask for and to listen to the call which has every single piece of the promises made by that sales rep that day (I gave them name, number, time of the call, length of the call). I had promises of managers and/or supervisors calling back and nothing ever happened. When day I called 10 times and the ten times I was hung up on.

    Been dealing with this for over 3.5 months, have logged over 180 hours within that time to Comcast and no help or resolutions as of yet... 3.5 months ago receive bill from Comcast that is $550 over normal due to "data overages". Yes there are caps of 250 gb monthly but this constitutes over 127,000 GB being used by a single person with one computer, one tv and one cell phone (at&t). I have never streamed a movie, nor play games, never uploaded music etc., immediately call and inquire. Billing points out that three courtesy credits given already and why wasn’t I aware?? Because the "robo" notification I am supposed to receive is not going to my correct phone #, although billing attest they have the correct #.

    CS is standing by the fact that the robo calls went to a cell phone no longer owned by me for over 2 years. So I call troubleshooting who is of no help. No sending out a tech to see if router is good, no walking me thru seeing how many devices are on my router, no comparison of monthly usage whereas normally I use less than 50gb in a month. Am told they are working on a ticket which a month later their solution was to correct my phone #.

    The tech that originally installed the new equipment happened to be my neighbor, since fired from Comcast and moved out 2 mos ago, but his buddies who still live there told me he often left a small door open in security and accessing neighbor's wifi... while he only installed mine on block. He was often "troubleshooting" neighbors equipment on off time. I got directed to them after finding out that when turning off all my devices and getting into router, there were 9 devices still listed. So I report this to Comcast, who does nothing.... no tech sent out, no discussions with CS and doesn't even get annotated in a file till January.

    Once finding out wifi is being used by others, immediately took actions to correct and no problems since but once again with no tech support and have spent the last 3.5 months with tickets opened that go nowhere, another 200 in connection/dis fees, and at least 2-4 hours every fifth day to get reconnected while these supposed tickets are under review. CS has even informed twice that everyone's first data overage credit is never shown on any bill, and one of my points was that regardless of who used data, my third credit should have been the 550. So how would any customer actually know how many times they exceeded data limit as the first credit is not annotated anywhere?

    So as a last ditch effort try the online help... Spent another 3 hours three nights ago, yet another escalated ticket opened with guarantees to be contacted within 48 hours. 48 hours go by, get back online requesting status of ticket only to be told "something" was sent to my personal email address and guess what, they send it to my email with all caps and I never get it. So another escalation ticket gets opened up tonight and services have been off for 5 days and counting.. So Comcast list of issues, notifications never received, no help or support identifying problem and or correcting, billing hours involving "third" courtesy credit, sending out questionable tech for installations and for all this joy they want almost 900 dollars in overages/disconnects and I have had no service for 5 days

    I had internet through Comcast and was fairly happy with it. However my roommate was interested in trying out TV through them as well. In February, we upgraded our service and ordered the self-install kit. It took almost 2 weeks to get to our residence, they did not even ship it until exactly 7 days after the initial order date. When we received the equipment, the HDMI ports were literally covered up with a sticker and service reps on the phone refused to believe that this could be possible. Finally, they sent out a technician who saw our boxes, was baffled, and explained they must have been faulty. He was very nice and got us new equipment from his truck.

    The TV was finally working however we were unhappy with the service. Assuming (apparently wrongly) that I was still covered under the money-back guarantee, I call Comcast to downgrade my service back to the internet and after we finally get it worked out. The service rep. says "oh by the way, you're not covered" because the change was made to the account 31 days ago. Here's my problem, not only are we being charged for the shipment of the faulty boxes ($9.95), they are also charging us for the technician visit ($39.95) which was only necessary because they sent us faulty equipment! Now, I find out that even though our service didn't get set up until 14 days ago, we have to cover the entirety of what is now a $168 bill.

    I worked for Comcast for a few years as a billing rep. There are a few customers who often call in to cheat the system, with things such as "I didn't order that PPV" etc. However, there are legit customer complaints. We in the billing department did our best to listen to their concerns and help them out. My boss at the time, ** (out of the Beaverton, Oregon office), said his sister called into Comcast to get service. They promised her free install charges, but when she received the bill, she was charged installation fees. All the stories we heard about shady sales reps was quite true. He was upset. I'm not sure what happened after that though.

    When I had quit Comcast for a different employer, I was helping my fiancée (poor college student) with her Comcast bills. We called to downgrade and were transferred a few times, and finally to their retention department. The retention rep promised they would lower the bill by about $25. The next bill that arrived did not reflect that. We called again and spoke with 2 people, one of whom used to be a coworker I knew in the Advocates department. They claimed there was absolutely no records of the call we made. We canceled the Comcast service in response.

    Not too long ago, I hear of Comcast's partnership with UPS. I drop off my model as the rules stated. I'm still being charged $12 a month for a modem fee half a year later. A few calls to them and we get nowhere, even when they have record that I switched out my own modem!!! Needless to say, an unrelated issue arose where I now have to file for bankruptcy so I stopped paying for Comcast (since I'm down to $150 in the bank anyways). I am surely going to include that evil company in my debt discharge list because that is the only way to fight their cheating unreturned equipment charge. I am currently using Internet from my phone and just using Netflix. I am unwavering and completely against supporting this malicious company financially in any way, shape or form. Accordingly, I will never, ever, purchase any products from them again or recommend them as a company to anyone at all, completely out of principle.

Said that it was their equipment so they should know all about it. She couldn't help so transferred me to their "Advanced" support. Repeated all the ID info and then was asked about the problem. Said that they would try to fix and call back in two days.

    Obviously, no help so I called back and they scheduled a tech to come on Sat PM. He arrived on time and checked signal strength and said the problem is in their system. Service drop is old and loss is above their standard. He would write a work order to run new service drop and increase signal strength. As you might expect, no improvement so I repeated everything early this PM and will see their service tech on Sat PM. By almost any standard Comcast is the absolute worst company in America.

    I've had Comcast for almost 2 years due to there not being any other options in my area. I haven't had major problems aside from random charges and increases on my bill. For the past month and a half, however, my internet stopped working completely. We had the basic Internet package of 25 Mbps. I would call every few days and they would "reset the connection", only for it to work for a few hours then stop again. They had no open appointments for almost 2 weeks for a tech to come out.

    When he finally did, he spent an hour working on our modem but only changed out a cord. I ran an Internet speed test through both the Comcast and Geek Squad sites (which took forever to load) before he left and both told me the Internet speed was about 5 Mbps. I asked the tech to check out the modem again and he finally got it to 12 Mbps but only when the Ethernet cord was plugged in. He told me, verbatim, "You aren't ever guaranteed wifi, only Internet when you have the Ethernet cord plugged in." REALLY?

    My roommate has a MacBook air which doesn't even have an Ethernet outlet. He basically said that was the best he could do and left. The Internet worked for about 2 days and then stopped again. I called back only to be on the phone for an hour and a half, transferred 7 times (because no one could figure out what was wrong), and then was told, "The Internet appears to be working properly from our end but we could send a tech out for $70 to take a look at it". I continually asked to be transferred to a rep in the US because I couldn't understand what they were saying and kept trying to get me to upgrade to an Internet bundle with home phone service. Who even has a home phone anymore?

    I was only connected to a U.S. rep when I told them I wanted to cancel my service, which I did. I also was told I wouldn't pay for the Internet for the time it was out which they had documented due to my numerous calls, but guess what? My bill doesn't reflect any type of price adjustment. I will NEVER use this excuse for a company again and would rather flush my money down the toilet than pay for their non-working crap.

    I called Comcast to up my internet speed. They told me I would have to pay 12/month for 50 mps. I did not know I was only getting 25 mps with my regular service. I tested my upload/download speed with their utility and I wasn't getting anything better than 32 mps. I called support and spent a total of 10 hours on two calls with tech support. The second call I was transferred 6 times. On the first call, the tech kept saying they could not see my device online so I was not connected to the internet. I told them I was on a VOIP line so it was impossible that I wasn't connected to the internet. This conversation went on for 30 min. I was on a 30 day trial for a new contract. I had been a customer for 17 yrs. They were going to send out a technician but I insisted that I not be charged for this visit no matter what the outcome. No one would commit to that so I canceled the visit.

    On the day that the visit was supposed to be canceled a guy shows up at my door saying he is with Xfinity home security. He explained that he traveled 2 hours to get to my house and had paperwork that said I called. I told him we don't have the security package, never did. He sat with me for almost an hour and agreed that this was all a major blunder but said to go ahead with the new product installation as I was dropping Comcast and if I wanted to come back he would personally handle the contract. I said fine and the following week had their major competitor installed.

    Since install I have consistently had 58-63 mps with the internet and that's with 4 laptops, 1 Ipad and two phones. In addition, the competitor bundle of internet, TV and phone is 15$/month cheaper than what I had been paying for all three. Also, I have HD coming in on my TV which I did not have with Comcast. Have to admit that the new service does have less channels but for the price and service it is worth it. Besides, we don't watch a lot of TV anyway.

    Signed up for X1 Blast package not quite 2 weeks ago. Was told install was free & I would not receive a bill until 30 days after I started my service. I was told install tech would be here the next day between 5 & 7 pm. I was given my phone number and paid my deposit for all 3 service.

    The day of the install I received a call saying something went wrong on their end and they would have to reschedule my install for 2 days later. I was not happy with that. I was able to get the next day instead, so I was ok with it. They had to run my deposit again. I confirmed that the phone number they gave me was still going to be the same as original they gave me. I explained I was ordering new card & t-shirts with the new number and wanted to make sure there was no chance of the number being different. I was assured that the number was the same. So I placed my order.

    The next day when tech showed up I was informed that the number was a different number! After about 4 phone calls and almost 3 hours on the phone with I forget how many different operators trying to get a supervisor, because the operators did not have the authority to correct the number. I just spent 1000.00 on my order! I could not change it due to a mistake on my end. The Supervisor was able to correct it! I was very happy.

    Not even 2 weeks go by and I get a email from Xfinity saying my video bill was due???? So I watch it and I'm thinking maybe a tutorial on my video bill. WRONG!!! IT WAS A BILL!!! I had a bill over $200.00. It is only supposed to be 112.00 including tax a month. I was charged an additional 39.95 for the installer to show up and 40.00 for hooking 2 cable lines to 2 box's 20.00 a box! So install was 89.95. My house was already wired and ready. I was also charged for half a month's service and tax.

    I called and was informed that the info the 1st operator told me was not true that they always bill 2 weeks after service and I would get another bill in a few days for a full month service. That on occasions they do offer free install but it was not in my notes. So there was no chance of getting that removed from my bill. I requested that they pull the recording of my conversation with the original representative. I was told it was possible that it was not recorded. HMMM... Imagine that!!

    She said she would put in a request for her manager to remove the $40.00 but the manager was off till Monday, it was Friday. I was also told that if it was removed it would come off the next bill statement not the current one. She recommended I pay it all now. That the next bill may be adjusted! She said she would call me Tuesday to let me know the decision. It is now Saturday and I have already received another email telling me my bill was due AGAIN! I just got the first bill yesterday! It is not even due till for another 10 days! I am awaiting the call on Tuesday. Will update this on outcome!

    In the beginning...There was installation. I was quoted one price and charged $40 more. This was mitigated by the installer being 4 hours late and being credited $20 against the $40 they overcharged me. So I moved from a condo with free basic DirecTV that I upgraded with pay channels and a DVR, then went through a local company for internet access (great access from a fly-by-the-night ISP, I clocked them at 70+mbs).

    I moved to a condo that offered free basic Xfinity (Comcast) TV. So (even after past miserable experiences) to go with the free stuff...who wouldn't! So I got it installed (as described above). I will say that the internet and wireless access has been flawless for two months (color me shocked!). But this DVR is crap! It's slow, laggy, and the controls are counter-intuitive. When something doesn't work as expected and you keep pressing the "OK" button (because of the God awful lag), it deletes your program! I'd kill to have my DirecTV DVR back. It worked exactly as you expect. Comcast has obviously cut too many corners on hardware.

I asked to speak with a supervisor - none available. Go figure. The customer rep says "ma'am just to let you know this charge is a valid charge and will not be removed sorry".

    The only reason I am giving Comcast a one star review is because I don't have the option of giving them none. We have been customers for 17 years. In recent years, we have experienced enormous problems with our service. Just like the previous reviewer, we were roped into the Triple Play package and blatantly lied to about what it consisted of. Our home phone never worked, cable was going out routinely, and internet would go down. We finally eliminated the phone "service" and were charged out the yin yang for doing so. We kept the cable and internet.

    One day I went to log onto my email and it told me the password was incorrect. I knew it wasn't, but when I tried to change it and it asked for my secret question, it wouldn't accept the answer that I know was correct. I spent a grand total of SIX hours, for three days straight, on the phone with Comcast customer "service". Every time they would reset the account and I would create new passwords, it would lock me out again the next day. After getting four different customer service reps on the line, I finally got one who transferred me to a supervisor. He immediately got on the phone and told me that he couldn't help me change my password because I was not an "authorized" user. Not an authorized user? The account is in my husband's name with me listed as an authorized user and has been for 17 years. He uses AOL email.

    I gave them all identifying information, to include social security numbers and he still wouldn't assist me. As a result, I was unable to access email and had to deal with angry customers because I was unable to respond to them. Can you say furious? My husband was so livid, he called them back and, of course, they showed me as an authorized user. We dumped Comcast within 48 hours. You can't understand half of what the customer service reps say, they don't know what they're doing, and equally as important, their services are completely unreliable.

    Shame on these incompetent bozos! They lost customers of almost two decades that paid in excess of $300 for services. Joke of a company. I do mean joke. Don't waste your time or hard earned dollars. Go with a provider that knows how to hire, train, and run a company. Horrible organization.

    Had the worse experience that I had with any company or anyone!!! Can't talk to anyone on the phone and when you do it does no good because they DO NOT do anything they say they will. Almost doubled my rate that they (supposedly) signed me up for. You have to take the equipment back to THEM as they say they will not pick it up. They can pick it up out of my dumpster if they want it - I will treat them like they treated me.

    I'm canceling this lousy, lying, two-faced, sorry excuse for a business and going to Triton. Comcast also lies to you about how many megabytes you need to have to order so as to attempt to drive folks toward the higher priced Mbps and Triton offers 8 Mbps (more than most any company needs) that they guarantee will do me better than Comcast's 105 Mbps @ over a 100 bucks where Triton charges 29.95 per month with a 50.00 one time installation and this is a month to month agreement rather than having to sign up to Comcast for much longer periods of time. SO I SAY COME AND GET YOUR CRAP EQUIPMENT BECAUSE YOU ARE HISTORY TO ME AND I HOPE ANYONE WILL THINK TWICE BEFORE GETTING INVOLVED WITH THIS RIPOFF COMPANY!!!!!

    We decided to upgrade our cable to HD and increase our internet speed. Comcast scheduled us with a technician to install the new x1 cable box and upgraded modem. When the technician arrived he setup the new box but did not bring a new modem. After he left our internet stopped working and I could not access the HD channels, when I select an HD channel it tells me to call and subscribe. The entire point was to upgrade to HD. Now I have no internet and still no HD. I called Comcast and after 2.5 hours and being transferred 7 times. I still have no internet and my HD channels still do not work. To top it all off they want to charge me to have another technician come out. Not sure why I deal with this company, except they are the only cable provider available.

    Admittedly I have never had an issue with Comcast in the past, but today I spoke with several employees and didn't run into a problem until I asked for a tech to come out to my home and fix what were apparently unable to do in several hours of phone conversation and virtual "tech support". There is only so much of that you can do, if it's just not working. I'm a tech savvy person and I had reached the end of my patience for something that was supposed to be "easy". I was told the fee would be waived and I was being transferred.

    That happened and all hell broke loose. This woman raised her voice, said she'd have to charge me, and that "she does this all day long". I asked for her manager and she said she'd "transfer" me. She hung up on me instead. I called back, he made me troubleshoot some more, then begrudgingly said a tech could come by Sat. . it's Wed. This is totally unacceptable. I can't wait until Google Fiber comes and breaks up this monopoly.

    I have had Xfinity/Comcast for years and have been pretty happy. A few weeks ago I noticed a channel had disappeared and so I called to find out why. The employee proceeded then to sell me more services since it wouldn't cost me too much more money than what I was paying. Well, the equipment arrived and when it wouldn't automatically work I contacted Xfinity again. This employee shared what this new stuff was going to cost me and so I cancelled.

    So, a few hours later I had no cable and called again. This person got the cable working but unbeknownst to me he reset what I had just cancelled. So, I returned the equipment and saw my bill a day ago and contacted them again since the bill was over 200% what I had been paying. So, he helped me out but told me to call customer service to finalize everything. I did. But, instead of finalizing my cancellation he proceeded to try and sell me the same thing I had already cancelled twice. WTH is going on here?

    If anyone thinks that Comcast is not aware of what they are doing, they are deluding themselves. Utter genius to create a monopoly selling a product that does not work, in fact, gets progressively worse, then sell "upgrades" to improve service (which do not work either). This is exactly why net neutrality is so vital. These corporate criminals will not react to any of our consumer pleas so long as they can extort profits from us for peddling garbage, unchecked and unregulated.

    Boy what a day. First, a Comcast guy shows up at our door and tells me he needs $223.00 or he is going to collect my modem. I explained to him that I owned the modem and he would not be taking it. I asked why he wanted $223 and he told me our bill had not been paid since October. Interesting, since we do direct payment through IU credit union. Bernice got online and transferred the data from IU to a note pad and we showed this to him. I also explained that we have two accounts in Bernice's name and if he would check, the excess money would be under that account and that Comcast had many times in the past, applied all of the payments to one account and then showed the other account past due.

    He wouldn't even look into it and told me our service would be disconnected. OK, so I took both bills to Comcast, waited in line to see the lady behind the counter, and finally after 30 minutes, got to talk to someone who I thought might get this corrected. I explained to her what was wrong and sure enough she checked and found an excess of $308 on the second account which is Bernice's sister's account that we also pay. So I said, "there you have, just transfer that money over to the other account.", "I can"t do that". WHAT? She showed me a printout and told me I needed to show her which payments needed to be transferred. I told her I would need to be looking at our computer to be able to do that, and asked for her phone number so Bernice could call her. She told me she couldn't give me her phone number. So what do I do? Her response, "I DON'T KNOW".

    My next comment was, "I am paying you for a service, you have my money, your records even show that you have my money, and you can't transfer my money to the correct account, because Comcast applied it to the wrong account. Ma'am, do you understand that is theft of service, a criminal offense?" Well she really didn't care, and she got huffy with me. This is what our country has come to, a big corporation makes a mistake and then refuse to correct it, and they just don't care about a customer who has paid their bill since 1999.

    Ordered just internet service and wireless hot spots. Stopped working immediately way before I could even get my cable modem sent to me. Called in to fix and technical support either could not figure out the problem, or hung up on me, or passed me around to different departments. I stayed on the phone waiting for hours always to be hung up on or told to call back the next day and it would be fixed. Never happened. I even was given case numbers but that did not help. Then they send me the wrong cable modem and I had to drive to a store to exchange it myself as it did not work. Then back to endless hours on the phone and being passed around and hung up on.

    I escalated to supervisors several times that promised me they would fix the issue but no luck. I even gave up and just tried to cancel my service all together at that point (3 times) but the reps are so incompetent they could not even complete that (got passed to different departments then hung up on again). It took over 2 weeks and this is not an exaggeration, 20+ phone calls to finally get someone who knew what to do and finally get me up and running.

    This person 'Ricardo' agreed I was treated unfairly and said he would definitely have billing adjust my account so I would not be charged for 2+ weeks of service I did not have and hours of frustration on the phone. He assured me he put in the proper notes and requests to adjust my billing. Well sure enough when the bill came absolutely no discounts and I was charged way more than I should have been.

    This by far has been the worst customer support from a corporation I have ever experienced in my life. I have never dealt with a company so dysfunctional, disorganized, and clueless about such a simple thing as activating an internet account. I would gladly pay more for a much slower service if there was one around but Comcast/Xfinity seems to have the monopoly on this area in Jacksonville where I just moved to. What I learned is most people have such a difficult time with this company as well so something should be done about their poor service.

    I set up internet through Comcast when I moved to a new place. It didn't work for almost 2 weeks and when they finally sent someone, they charged me $39.95 for it and refused to remove it from my account. Even though I was told it would be free and even though it was their equipment outside that didn't work! I had to fight with them to get a credit for the couple weeks that it didn't work. Every time I've been on the phone with them and asked them to note my account, the rep leaves something totally different! Finally, today the customer service rep told me that "I should have to pay for the technician because internet is luxury, not a utility" and that it was my choice to have the service installed. I've had my fill with them once and for all. Switching to AT&T. They aren't much better, but hell I'm finding out anything is better than Comcast these days!

    When we sign up with Comcast and we had so much problem with the Internet needing rebooted then after our 3rd call they said would send someone out but they were going to charge us or if we needed to sign up and spend another $4.99 a month on a nearly $200 for a monthly service plan. Well we chewed them out and what do you know we haven't had Internet problems since but our cable is bad. Today we went to do a down grade on our cable because we needed to cut expenses, because our rent went up. They said that they were going to charge us a "cancellation fee"! We told them we are not cancelling just reducing. They said that our contract is for what we have right now and that we can only up-grade but cannot down grade.

    Well at the end of the school year, our son is home schooled, we are just going to stop paying them. We don't care about our credit because it is already bad because my husband kept losing jobs because of his disability, but now he has his SSD. We are just going to take our laptop to our local library for Internet, get a digital converter for TV, and we have Safe Link for our phone so we will save tons of money once we get rid of this joke of a company.
