    My comcast internet drops connection every 30 mins to an hour. This has been going on for 2 years. They have sent at least 15 techs to my house and the last 4 were suppose to fix a leak at the pole out side but they never showed up. Every time I call in they make promises of fixing the issue but no tech ever shows up. They have charged me for the 1st 2 techs last year "which they did not fix problem", charged me for mailing me new cable boxes but when the techs showed up said I didn't need them and took the boxes with them. I've had promises and rudeness when I call in" which is at least 2 to 3 times a month begging for help with these issues". If you think about this- it’s theft and false advertisement...Not getting what I paid for and horrible service. This does not even include issues with the cable tv.

    Comcast/Xfinity SUCKS!! ** should be fired on the spot! I didn't leave the chat, This dumbass ** closed the chat!! This is like the 3rd time going to Live Chat with NO RESOLUTION!!!! Xfinity SUCKS!!! Plus, their internet speed is SOOO SLOW compared to FIOS. I already have business FIOS and they couldn't even get my xfinity modem to work, which the first guy said it should work anyways. I just got sent a new modem to me today from them and it still don't work. The month since I ordered is ticking away and yet to even get any internet service from XFINITY. I'll make sure to make a blog post, so I can leave a review for others to read.

    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 have consistently called Comcast about a misrepresentation of a promotional product. I was told one thing but given something else. I called 3 times and the calls ended with they will have someone call me. Nothing. The new modem was not working properly and my internet was interrupted. I placed a service call and a technician came and spent 5 minutes to fix the problem and 40 minutes on his phone. I jokingly say that I hope I'm not being charged for this time. He laughed.

    Here we are a month later, I am charged a $60 wiring fee. I called to dispute the charges and I was told someone would call me back. Nothing. I called again today and was advised the technician declared it was a valid charge. When I asked to speak with the tech dept, I was told they don't speak with customers. 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". This is ridiculous that a tech could write whatever he wants and customers just have to deal with it. Worst company.

    The Internet and cable services are down since Friday, and all we hear is promises. They are lying to our faces, promising they will come since this morning. Since this morning, we talked to at least 6 different people and they pretend they never received a phone call. Every time you call, they say they do not know what we are talking about. We have saved all the confirmation numbers that could verify the basic facts of our claim.

    First off, the fact that their product wasn't working properly was already a bad start and secondly, terrible customer service just ruined the whole mood. Here’s what happened. My Internet was not working properly and when I had called the customer service, they were absolutely wonderful - treated me with respect and all. But here comes the bad part. They directed me to the Advanced Wireless Department and some whacko picks up the phone half-awake answering the phone with a very dreadful "Hello?" Very professional (Sarcasm). So I was telling him about what was happening with my Internet and halfway in, I hear the guy yawn and hang up the phone! The worst part about it is that this guy might be doing this to OTHER customers with no punishment whatsoever. Goes to show Comcast hires some very bad workers. Disappointed.

    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.

    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.

    Roku informed me I did not have internet access. I called Comcast. At every step I was required to provide my phone, address, and last 4 of my social. This was magnified as my call was repeatedly "dropped" and I had to start over with reps who were patronizing and difficult to understand at times. They passed me from person to person until I finally insisted they send someone to solve the problem, thereby avoiding being passed on interminably thru the system without solving the problem.

    I signed up for Comcast Internet when I moved into my new home, and was overjoyed to have fast internet again after being without it for a few months. I signed up for their 50mbps Blast! plan, and had a tech come install it, but used my own modem. Everything was just fine until 7 days in, I received an e-mail from Comcast warning me that I was near my "data cap". I was utterly confused and immediately logged in to my account to find out what it was referring to. I had never even HEARD of any company having a data cap on their internet service.

    Sure enough, 7 days in, I was at 268 GB out of the 300 GB allowed. I instantly saw red. I did some research and was horrified to learn of their data cap policies and getting charged overages. I wasn't even using what I considered a large amount of data. Even with their highest internet tier, the cap is only 600 GB. with 50+ mbps, that is frighteningly simple to surpass in just days. All of the information I acquired about their cap was from forums. There was little to no useful information on their actual website to better inform me as to what my options were.

    I don't understand how it is even legal to instill such an abysmal cap in the first place, much less not make you aware of such a thing until you are virtually past it. This data cap combined with TERRIBLE customer service, almost daily e-mails reminding me about my bill (which obviously was never paid), and other shady tactics they use to rob people of hundreds of dollars, forced me to switch to a company with a substantially lower internet speed. I have no data cap however, and am still perfectly able to use the internet for everything I need/want on a daily basis. My opinion is that everyone else should do the same to give Comcast and companies like them to put an end to this kind of nonsense, and actually serve their customers, instead of mistreat/cheat them. AVOID COMCAST AT ALL COSTS!

    The very first time, when I moved to new apartment, I scheduled an appointment and they came 2 hr after the scheduled time. Then they fixed a router that was dropping wifi connection all the time, and later turned out to be faulty (there was also numerous references online about the issue with that model). I scheduled another appointment, as I was not able to use it coz of Comcast issue. But they charged me like some $100. Later when I called customer care and complained, they waived that off.

    After replacing the equipment in the second visit, it went fine for some time. Then new issue popped up - very frequent loss of connection and the router was going offline. Troubleshooted with remote support for more than 20 times. Their remote support is the most worthless support I have seen from many service providers. Only thing they can do is remote restart and finally asking us to manually reset the router. Two times, onsite technician came and fixed some issue with their outside switches and boxes, and it started working fine for few months. Then issue resurface again. Only thing I continue with Comcast is there is no other real alternative.

    Comcast sent out a letter to notify me of a new modem upgrade. We ordered it to be mailed out at the end of Nov. We never received it and then received an automated message the end of Dec saying "call to order your new modem." Never once did they say we would lose our service, yet since mid-January we very rarely have any service at all.

    Now the company tells me they will send someone out to install the new modem and update my boxes for $100. Otherwise the company will mail it out for me. I was next transferred to the person who would set me up to receive the modem by mail when she tells me I have to pay $15 for them to mail me out a new modem which they mandate I get. The letter, call and the person I spoke to just before Marcela said it was free to mail it to me and I install it. So, Comcast would like to charge me for doing their job of installing and exchanging their outdated equipment and I should pay for the 6 to 10 days that I do not have service.

    I took over the lease on an apartment from another tenant recently. I also took over her Comcast Internet service contract. We both filled out the forms to transfer the account to my name. Unfortunately while Comcast transferred the account to my name they didn't bother to change the address or contact info, or the user name or password for the account so the bills kept going to the old tenant but at her new address and when I tried to access the account online to change things I couldn't get access.

    I tried contacting them by phone and spent almost an hour going around in circles through their terrible automated phone system, which just can't seem to deal with a situation where the account number and phone number don't match the records (that was why I was calling after all). Once I actually got to talk to a real person they passed me off between 3 different people before I talked to someone who could actually figure out my problem. Fortunately I did eventually talk to an intelligent and helpful person but I took a very long time and lots of hassles.

    Now a few weeks later I am trying to log in online and discovering that they still haven't changed anything and I still can't get access online. When I tried getting to an online chat with a customer service rep I found that there was some sort of glitch with their online form so that I couldn't enter my zip code or phone number properly. Both of those are required fields so I couldn't access the online rep because of the glitch in their online system.

    I think I have gotten around that problem for now and I am just waiting (for over half an hour at this point) to get to the head of the queue for the customer service chat. I have dealt with many different cell phones, credit card, cable, and other sorts of services over the years and I have never seen such utterly inept, incompetent, useless, and careless customer service. It is clear that Comcast believes that they have a captive audience and could care less about serving their customers. Their Internet service has been mostly OK when it has been working, but it is never especially fast or great for the amount one pays for it, and if there is a problem well, God help you, because Comcast hardly will.

    2 weeks ago, I set up my move with Comcast. I explained the dates to have my service disconnected, which was February 12th. They cut my internet off today. Apparently, someone in the departments changed my address and due to the same address being used by someone else, they were unable to reconnect my service. I spent well over 6 hours talking to different people who claim they would fix and they did not. When I was finally fed up and asked to cancel, they told me I wouldn't be able to cancel unless I called back the next day. The entire process was completely handled wrong, the customer service was beyond poor and at most times, rude.

    Comcast wanted customers to upgrade their modems with their new ones. I did that. They mailed the new modem to me. It was a self install but I could not do it so I called and had them send a technician out to install and had to pay for that. That was fine but after that the WIFI in the modem never worked properly - I kept being drop while using my tablet or Netflix. I called for months regarding this. Comcast had me calling other places and doing things. Finally just before the Holidays I called Comcast once again and someone there said, "Well let me check into something." And whatever he did he informed me that the WIFI in the modem was defective and it needed to be replaced. They had to send another new modem.

    I told them at the time "But I need someone again to come out and install it." And I told them I did not want to pay a second time to have another one installed. Each time I spoke to the Service department and to billing and I made sure to check into it I was told there would not be a charge since it was due to Comcast's defective modem. Well lo and behold when I get my bill they not only charged me a 15.00 shipping for another modem they charged me a service charge for the technician a second time and taxes on top of everything.

    I called to speak with a supervisor and they were not going to credit me. Also saying no notes on my account which I thought very strange since there should have been many notes since I called them on many occasions. I finally was able to get a credit of 50.00 only on a 88.17 charge. I am very upset about this and will eventually change providers. Hoping AT&T will come my way asap. Beware, Comcast has terrible customer service and has no problem outright lying to a customer to turn around and get them in the back. Their price are also outrageous.

    Worst company in the entire world, if you can avoid getting Comcast, do it. They have a data cap on their internet which limits you to 300GB. They say it's enough to stream a ton of movies/shows, but it isn't, especially not with more than 1 person using the internet in a house. I have to day in and day out make sure that I'm not streaming too many shows on Netflix, or Hulu, or watching too many YouTube videos because if I so much as go over 1 GB of data, I will be charged $10. Don't get me started on their customer services, they don't exist.

    The quick version: Comcast sent my bill to an email address they created and that I didn't even know existed, then disconnected my service for non-payment without any attempt to notify me. Trying to contact them resulted in more than an hour of making phone calls, most of which were disconnected by their system before I ever got to speak to a human being. We'll be using a T-Mobile hotspot for our in-home Internet from now on.

    The long version: We recently moved to the Atlanta area, and the only decent (price & speed) option for Internet service was Comcast/Xfinity. Having dealt with them before, we were less than pleased, but I work from home and decent speeds/data plans are important. So we bit the bullet and signed up. Here we are one month later, never received a bill, and wake up to find that our service has been disconnected for non-payment. We owe $70.90, says their website (the only site we can connect to using our WiFi). I, of course, want a breakdown of those charges and to see what the hell happened, so I try calling. That's when the real fun started.

    I tried several different 800 numbers that I found online (using my phone's hotspot to connect). Every single one of them had me enter all my identifying information multiple times, then disconnected me at the exact same point--before speaking to a human being, of course. I got a hold of a live chat operator (again, using my phone's data plan to connect) and got other numbers that were "direct hotlines" to the service and, eventually, the cancellation departments. They funneled me back to the same primary customer service lines where, again, I was disconnected.

    So, let's call the sales lines--they always answer, right? Disconnected twice, but eventually managed to speak to several sales representatives who were "sorry, but they can't transfer me"--not to billing, not to cancellation. If I wanted to buy something more from Comcast they were happy to help, otherwise I was pretty much **. After about an hour, I finally manage to get someone in cancellations. They tell me that my account is already in "non-paid deactivation" (remember, this is after one month of service, and I have NEVER RECEIVED A BILL) and they can't do anything. They can't even tell me what the $70.90 I supposedly owe them consists of; for that I need to speak to someone in billing.

    Finally get a hold of someone in billing (had to insist that the cancellation rep transfer me and stay on the line while I was being transferred to make sure I wasn't disconnected--she argued, but yelling at her for long enough actually worked). They tell me my bill was sent to @comcast.net account that they swear I set up but I very much did not, they simply took my Comcast username (which I had to set up) and made an email address without telling me, then sent my bill there. I insisted on a paper bill, and I was told that PAPER BILLS ARE AN EXTRA $5 CHARGE PER MONTH. Told him exactly what he could do with himself, and that was that.

    I'm typing this report using my phone's hotspot. I've already called T-Mobile, which has great service in this area and great customer service in general--we've been with them for more than a decade--and we'll be using a mobile hot spot with a high-tiered data plan for our in-home Internet. I'd rather pay a little (a VERY little) each month than give Comcast a single penny more.

    Comcast: You suck. You know you suck, because reports like this are posted all the time. Maybe you disconnect everyone who calls because you're tired of hearing about how much you suck, but I'll be posting this everywhere I can just to make sure you know how much you suck. (p.s. you suck).

    So I used to be pretty pleased with our comcast internet speeds, but it wasn't long before we started noticing slower connection speeds at peak hours rather than boosts in speeds, which we are being charged for. It's frustrating to be paying over $100 for an internet connection that won't even load a webpage. Oh, and you better hope you don't have an actual technical problem because they will bounce you around from call center to call center suggesting variations on turning off the router and turning it back on. Yes my router is on and yes I have power cycled it. Do you have any actual "expert" advice? No? Got it. They have a monopoly on the area I live in and no incentive to provide more reliable service or tech support. It's my fault for not checking to see if there were any other ISPs in the area. I also doubt you'll find a more reliable alternative though, because most ISPs treat their customers this way. So disappointing. Hopefully this will go through eventually if the page loads.

    I tried to stay loyal for years with Comcast because they used to be somewhat fair. Now they are just extremely greedy. I have used another Internet provider for years. Called clear communications, which weren’t the greatest but it was only $20.00 a month. Well every time I called into Comcast they would try to push their Internet on me.

    This one lady was so desperate for the sale she wouldn't take no for an answer and she tricked me by saying, "Will you at least try it under no obligation?" I was on vacation at the time and wanted to wait until I got home and advised her I would call back. She advised me that I needed to be put in that day to get the deal. She said the equipment wouldn't be sent until I returned home and called. I agreed and then I got home and called to tell them that I changed my mind and wasn't interested.

    They billed me every month for a year for the Internet and the equipment and I never had any equipment in my house or the Internet ever. I called every month for a year and spent hours and hours trying to get them to remove it. They would just talk over you or run you around in circles with some bogus excuse until you were exhausted. I continued to pay because I didn't want this to hit my credit. I then got so frustrated I stopped paying that portion of the bill until it was resolved. They just added late charges every month. I finally just stopped paying the bill and will dispute it later.

    I've had it with their bullying tactics and refusal of customer service. They are like Wal-Mart. Made all their money and now have most people brain washed that they have the cheapest product and then they slowly increase the price and throw in misc. charges.

    On Sunday, Dec. 21, 2014, my internet suddenly went out. I was told that the problem was in the wiring and they would have to send a technician. What had happened was that my next door neighbor moved and instead of disconnecting her line, they disconnected mine. Not only was I without internet for two days (which I use for my work), they billed me for the call! The technician put some codes on the work order that said they made some changes to the wiring in my house. All they did was screw the cable back onto the box. I was standing there when he did it.

    When I called customer service they offered to waive half the fee, which tells me that they knew they had screwed up. When I told them that in essence they were billing me for their error, they said they could only go by what was on the paperwork (a copy of which the tech did not leave me). I went up two levels at customer service to a senior supervisor, who told me that if it was up to him he "would bill me for the whole thing," because I'd taken up so much of his colleague's time. This is the second incident in less than a year that I have lost income due to Comcast. Two months ago my modem started failing and I had to take it to the branch for a replacement or pay for a service call for THAT. I've only had this service since April 11th -- less than a year!

I only moved in a week ago and found that the self install service Comcast offered me as an option for my new home was not possible because there was no connection in my apartment (why they gave it to me as an option knowing this apartment never had Comcast is beyond me). So I called to set up a service appointment for full installation... the customer service representative gave me an all day appointment that kept extending as the day progressed (8 am to 5 pm, then to 8 pm, then to 10 pm!?). Finally I call back to be told that the technician came but it was an outside service (WTF!?) and everything is working now. I tell the CSR, repeatedly, I HAVE NO INTERNET CONNECTIONS period in my apartment; an "outside" job does nothing for me if it doesn't make its way inside... which it didn't, because no one showed up anyway.

    So I make another appointment. I literally spent 30 minutes on the phone to schedule it. Today, the day of the appointment arrives. Take a half-day off work and wait. I decide to call to confirm and lo and behold...NO APPOINTMENT. The girl I'm talking to proceeds to lie to me about my Tuesday appointment...saying that someone did come (a fact that was refuted by the last person I talked to) and that I have no appointment on file...I asked her if I could speak to a manager to try to get this resolved because each time I talk to one of the CSRs nothing happens, she says "oh yes, sure, of course." And then hangs up on me. I wasn't even going to complain about her... I called back to actually put in a complaint and am told there's no record of who I talked to less than 3 minutes earlier.

    I briefly worked a call center job while in grad school abroad, I know for a fact it sucks been people call in angry, so I try to be reasonable when I do call in. But seriously, I have never in my life been so frustrated dealing with CSRs in my life. I give up. I'd rather pay more elsewhere.

IT was always their lines. Now (2015) I need high speed internet. For years we have been using speedtest.net to calculate our speed since Comcast would NEVER tell us what speed we were buying.

Today I spoke with a technician since I am being timed out by the VA, Netflx, Xfinfity downloads, etc. He said it can't be fixed because the lines need to be replaced and Comcast has no interest in doing that.

    Interestingly, Verizon has customers in the east part of town and they have FIOS. I understand Comcast and Verizon decided to split this area and I am on the wrong side of the division. The tech today actually reduced my monthly fees because the speeds are so bad...he says they don't even offer these speeds anymore. I asked to be upgraded and that wasn't possible because of the lines. Just what should I do now? Dish and Hughs don't work well here either due to the amount of snow we get.

They lie and say this is for equipment to insure payments but they change the deposit fee to an actual fee on the bill then charge late fees illegally on falsified deposit money requests not received. You can't charge late fees on money that is a deposit, they do so by pretending the deposit is a charge of service by no longer announcing the deposit as such, thus allowing them to claim to not know why you owe the fee and try and get away with such charges. The billing becomes extortion and when you report the fraudulent billing to the FCC they tag on more mystery fees like suddenly they make modem fees appear even though their web site admits you have your own modem and no equipment of theirs. The Billing blames service and service dept. blames billing as a run around ensues. They try every trick imaginable to extort money and make customers have to spend time trying to fix what they refuse to fix.

    Privacy violations, strong arm tactics, interference of data transmission is some of their tools to get you to drop your FCC charges and consumer complaints (they removed half of my message to the FCC the complaint section was almost all erased). They even try copyright infringement tactics to scare and try and extort more money from their customers. These magically turn up after you file your report to the FCC, but they mess up because they date the incidents on days you can prove not to even be in town with modem or electricity turned on. It's almost as if someone within the organization is sabotaging the company, embezzling money, or attacking the customers, but then I see these tactics have existed for a long time, so I think perhaps this is their everyday known practice since they are too big to prevent from doing whatever they want.

    Updated on 12/28/2014:

    I've finally been able to be passed further down the line in this mess Comcast has created. I got one great rep to help remove some of the fraudulent charges, however older ones were still listed on their online bill. I was given a number to call for my dispute with the deposit, but the number said they temp shut my service till I paid the $100 to have it turned back on. (No mention if this was a deposit and since I paid all my bills on time what was owed this = extortion and breech of contract). In fact the number leads to a loops for payment through credit card and even though it says hold for a live rep the same message plays over and over trying to get credit card and payment info.

    I had a second number to try and resolve this. I had reached what claimed to be an executive support through writing one of the upper customer service managers and they called me a few times giving me a number that wasn't listed as Comcast and that number was just an answering machine each time I called and when leaving a message they never called back. Within this time I received a weird bank phishing email in my Comcast mail acct which nobody has my add for and it had no TO: info filled out, which is necessary in sending a message, so I checked the detail info on sender etc. and it was coming from a Comcast internal email.

    I plan on handing this info to the Executive support if I ever actually get a hold of them, to trace the ISP number and info along with their internal codes to see if this is an attempt to steal money from people's bank accounts as the work of their own employees or third parties they contract and give our info to. I also have specific details on my last check and letter stating they cannot cash my last check unless they admit I am paid in full and fix their fraudulent charges, therefore if they cash the last check after trying to extort $100 from me and shutting me off then they are literally stealing from my bank account and I will have the clear evidence whether they help decipher the weird bank phishing scam mail or not.

    In June, I signed up for the $29.99/month for the Internet Plus plan. When I received my first bill, I noticed being charged $39.99 for the service. I have contacted Comcast countless times since then, as I am still being overcharged. Despite calls, chat sessions, promises to receive callbacks, nothing has been resolved. I have even provided a screenshot of the Internet Plus promotion on Comcast.com for $29.99/month taken the day I signed up, but they refuse to honor it as it isn't a current promotion, even though it was when I signed up! The only attempts at correcting this issue were giving me faster internet and additional channels for a month each. Both of these resulted in even more additional charges to my account.

    Also, as part of my promotion, I was supposed to receive a $50 Visa prepaid card after 90 days of service. Six months have gone by, and I still have not received it. Whenever I inquire about this with Comcast, I am given the same response: "Please allow up to sixteen weeks from your installation for your Visa prepaid card to mail. The additional four weeks after the 90-day period is to account for processing." The two images are screenshots of the promotion for $29.99/month and my bill, reflecting the incorrect charge. To clarify my bill, it should state $69.95 - $39.96 $29.99/month promotion) + $8.00 = $37.99.

    I was told by a customer representative, over the phone, that I would be paying for 25Mbps as part of their special promotion. They also told me that the promotion would end in 12 months with a 30 day money back guarantee. With good faith in the company, I continued to pay for 6 months under the impression I was getting just that. For awhile I thought slow speeds were a result of too many people in my apartment being on at once. However, after doing a few checks, I began to get suspicious and it turns out my internet had been changed to 3Mbps for months now. It seems that if it's not in writing, they can say anything to get you to fork your money over. I will be canceling their service after this billing period. What an awful sales tactic.

    My son, who also has a Comcast internet account, recently moved back into our home. As it didn't make sense for both of us to pay for Comcast service at the same address, he called Comcast to have our account closed and the email addresses moved to his account. At this point I got on the phone with Comcast as well as I wanted to make sure there would not be any issues (we have used Comcast for over 10 years and all of our email is tied to the Comcast accounts). They assured me there would not be any problems and no disruption of service. Well... that was true for about two weeks and then without any notice our Comcast accounts were closed.

    I have since made 5 calls to Comcast customer support, two of those resulting in being disconnected during the calls, have had two different "tickets" opened to fix the problem, and have been told multiple times that it will be fixed within 24 hours. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT EMAIL SERVICE FOR 6 DAYS AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. My email address is apparently no longer working and will not receive emails, and I have my bank accounts, other financial accounts, etc. all sending notifications, etc. to my email address... which Comcast can't seem to get set up again. This could turn into a major problem. For example, all of my credit card statements are sent electronically to my email account... only now I'm not getting them.

    This is absolutely the worst experience I have ever had in trying to work with a company. One word for anyone considering the Comcast service... RUN! Run as far away as you can as they apparently have no idea how to treat a customer of 10+ years. I will call again today for the 6th time as it still isn't working, but at this point I am open to suggestions as to what it might take to get my email accounts active again. Suggestions???

I spoke with a nice car from the Philippines who told me Comcast had been overcharging me by $45 to $47 each month since March. She put thru a credit which she said would be between $250 and $300 that would appear by Friday. She also made an appointment for a tech to come look at my Internet whose performance had been terrible for months. She said she'd note the account to show the credit will be applied to my back payment so. That my service would not be turned off. I came home the following night to find my service disconnected - I called d's to see what happened & was told they had no record of a request for a credit on my account & they would not turn my service back on unless I paid my bill first. I late ranked them on a subsequent call to review the 1st call I made & reap for themselves what I was promised - the rep said she'd ask a manager to do this but when the tech came out no credit was on my account & no manager had contacted me saying they had listened to my 1st call. The tech said he couldn't do any work unless I paid my bill first. By this time I was so disgusted with having to deal with this thieving lying company that I told the tech to take everything Comcast out of my house.

    I created an account here just to write this complaint up hopefully warning people to stay away from Comcast Internet Provider. I could write up a thousand adjectives about their service and only about two would be positive. My current internet is atrocious, first of all, it is the slowest internet I've seen in my entire life, it must be comparable to dial up connection. Next, the biggest problem is that the internet resets itself after every five minutes or so, so every single one of my devices loses all of their internet and that becomes unbearable when working on something (it will probably be lost when writing this complaint, leaving me to start over). It will kick me off of Xbox Live completely after every 5 minutes, my Kindle is always in a reconnecting state because by the time it finally connects again, it's lost right away. I've seriously never saw a provider this bad, and I personally think I could stick an antenna onto my microwave and it would be more efficient. Why people buy from Comcast remains a mystery.

    Our local DSL service could not provide the Internet speeds we needed to conduct our business from home so we reluctantly decided to switch to Comcast Internet service with "Blast", approx. 50+mbps speed when it's working (the company reviews are terrible and now we know why first-hand). When it's working, both the upload and download speeds are great, but the reliability is just plain terrible. We have to reboot the wireless router at least once a week and have had the service go down completely for hours at a time on several occasions in the past 6 months. When you call "customer service" you can't reach anyone and often the company IVR doesn't work at all and hangs up on you.

    In the 11 years we had DSL prior to switching to Comcast Internet, we had 4 outages and had to reset the wireless modem maybe once every several months. Despite living in a major suburb of Salt Lake City, we only have 2 Internet provider options available to us (based on our address). We need far more competition to encourage and ensure reliable and affordable Internet service.

    I have been troubled by the speed Comcast providing for the whole duration of my 1 year contract. Contracted up to 50 mbps. However, the speed was initially good, but will quickly get down to single digit. I called Comcast multiple times per month. Every time, they made me go through the same same ritual: "recycle" the router, which also takes out my phone. Then I called in again, then they did one same thing - "re-provision" my internet service. That is their name for the one click of button they did at their end. The re-provisioning always brought the speed back up to 50+. In one minute, while I was still on the phone with Comcast tech support, the speed went way up. This pattern shows Comcast knew what the problem is and know how to fix it. But they just pretend not so by having me going through all the regular steps. In addition, they don't fix the real problem. The re-provisioning is just a temporary fix. They might just grab the bandwidth from another consumer and provided to me. And when other calls, they will grab my bandwidth away. My speed will drop back to single digit, or even 0.5 mbps after a day or two. Sometimes after as quickly as half an hour.

    I read so many complaint about Comcast on this site. I noticed that the complaints are across geographic location in the US. Comcast is cheating all over the country. Comcast service is expensive. I spent over $60 per month for the service. There should be a CLASS ACTION lawsuit against Comcast for breaching their contract with subscribers. The legal action is warranted because of the magnitude of the offense!

    I returned from a trip this Spring 2014 to find my Comcast bill had many fees and when I left I made sure I paid ahead 6 months. December I paid 6 mos. ahead to come back to a horror in my Comcast bill. So doing research into why and how I could be behind I found that in September 28 or 29th of 2013 I made a payment of $130.22 that was never credited to my bill - which snowballed into me being behind. So that meant my December 6 mo. payment wasn't right either according to Comcast. Since then I called several times with no success. I just kept getting more fees late charges even though they told me my bill was on hold until this was resolved. So Comcast kept shutting me off while they were supposed to be finding out where my money went.

    I paid their fees just to keep my service on and I'd get more fees. I paid over a years worth of service fees that I could of paid and had over a years worth of service in just a couple months. I'd pay the bill and they would shut off my service. I'd call, they'd shut it back off. They shut it off 3 times in one day. I'd call and the person I talk to would say, "I see no reason for your service to be off." They were doing anything and everything to get me to forget it all! I contacted the executives in PA, Daniel, he completely blew me off after he asked all my info and wasted my time for a half hour on the phone, told me he couldn't do anything to help me because someone else had it!!! He was like, "I can restore your service." I was like, "I have service, well when I got off the phone I didn't have service anymore even with a paid bill." So the person he said I had to call was Andrea **. I have talked to her several times. Nothing done.

    When this started they had asked me to send proof to Comcast so to the office it went in hand and had them fax it right from Comcast on Clippert Street Lansing MI. Well they closed it, they claim they never got it. So I sent it to Andrea the bank statements, nope not good enough. So I went back to the bank, got it on letter head and sent it again along with every credit card I had been at the same bank 20 yrs. The bank said for Comcast to call them, they refused. Because I have all the proof they stole my money and they owe me all the fees they charged me along with compensation for shutting me off several times.

    They also took it upon themselves to remove me from internet essentials and put me on a more expensive plan and charge me 70.00. I called internet essentials, they put it back, that was a few days after I found out what they had done. So to this day I've got nothing but a big blow off.

There are calls made not just by me, but my neighbors and just about everyone I speak with in Patterson about this issue and nothing is being done to resolve it. They may resolve it one day, but it reoccurs 4-5 times per month and it's very frustrating for paying customers as they're not getting the speeds they should be getting. And practically every night after 8pm until 6-7am, the speeds will always drop to around 2-5mbps. They will send a tech in the morning to take a look at this and of course, every time the tech comes, the issue is gone (makes you wonder).

    To make matters worse, they've blocked all competition in the area for other ISP providers to compete against their monopoly of the area so you can't just switch service. There's only one service here that offers over 15mbps service and that's unfortunately Comcast.

    Worst customer service ever. I have been dealing with an issue since March 2012 when I purchased a modem from Saveology.com to use at my residence for internet use. Months later noticed the bill was too high. Called Xfinity, in Oct of 2013 and was told that it was their mistake, they couldn't refund my money past 2 months but I was given a decent package for my trouble. Well last month again (Oct 2013), I noticed my bill was high and once again called about it, only to find that I was being charged a leasing fee for that same modem. I was told that it was taken care of, no future charges will be charged, and again, no total refund was offered. I was pissed and told my neighbor who works at Comcast and he gave me a card.

    I called the card tonight (11-17-2014), only to find that that lease charge is still on my account! Doug ** told me that it is being audited and there is nothing he can do without a receipt. He could not produce a record other than a order number that was originally in error. He said that he trusts that order number shows that I ordered a modem from Xfinity. I checked my records on gmail (Thank God for that storage) and found the receipt.

    I told people over at Xfinity over and over again, "the customer is always right! Why are you doing this? You make me never want to use this company again!" He responded with he cannot just give the modem away, even though paying $109 plus $8 a month puts this modem at around $300 that is giving it away! Advice if you are going to use this company don't use paperless billing, save your receipts and don't expect anything from their customer service because they will tell you one thing and another will happen.

    Please trust me GO WITH ANOTHER COMPANY!!! Ok where do I start. We had been with Comcast Internet services for 2 years when we paid a bill for one month and surprise it was 400 dollars!!.. We found that out a week after we had paid our bill and no service.. when we called and finally got through they said our service had been discontinued! And we had a 400 dollar bill!..WOW..Confusing right..

    So after a month of trying to figure this out we couldn't get through to Comcast, come to find out our number was blocked..yep!! No argument no getting crazy just blocked!..we found this out by calling from a different phone.. So tonight we called from a different phone because the account number, my cell phone was blocked.. It said our bill of $189 was paid a couple days ago!!..hmmm odd ...So we contact Comcast and I'll be darn if they didn't have our account mixed up with another customer!! This I found out after they started telling me all about this other account!!!

    So after (I) figure this out the guy (mark) says there's nothing they could do, it was sent to collections!!!..wait WHAT!!!!!...So needless to say the collection place they go through was closed..go figure... This is all new as of tonight.. I will keep you all posted..We are good people. I can't believe this is happening..Next step is court!!! THANKS FOR NOTHING COMCAST!!!

    In August, I changed from my DVR service, the shiny new X1 platform. What a complete piece of crap. I have struggled with it for 3 months now. The equipment in 3 locations in my house was fouled up every other day, I kid you not. I have LESS functionality than I had with the DVR! I finally called them to move back to my old DVR equipment. No problem! But I either have to pay $70 for a service call, or drive clear across town (Denver area) to switch out the equipment. I work like most of us, and their service center is only open during my work hours, no weekend hours. So I would have to blow off 2 to 3 hours to accomplish this. I finally kept complaining, and they agreed to ship the new equipment at no cost.

    So, now is where the fun starts. They sent me 4 boxes. One is the central box, the other are satellite, like X1. The master box is the only one with pause or rewind capability during a show. You can only set recordings from the main box. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? No different from X1 except it's not based on an internet connection. And get this...the equipment doesn't work! I can either go to the service center, or they can once again ship new equipment, or I can wait for 5 days for a service call. And I can't watch any TV.

    I have a long fuse, I believe in solving disputes in a reasonable and respectful fashion. I am always courteous. But I'm at the end of my rope with Comcast. I'm a raving mad customer who would love to fire them, but I can't because they have the monopoly. Comcast is pure evil. My frustration has brought me to tears. The only reasonable thing I can say is their staff is pleasant. They just can't fix the problem or do anything to compensate you. I genuinely HATE THEM. If you have a choice, any pick is better than Comcast.

    I subscribed to triple play three months ago. I didn't realize at the time I was signing on for a two year contract as that was never discussed, so basically I'm stuck and I've been told that by one of their reps. I have been on the phone with them on a weekly basis because service is sporadic with regards to cable, internet & phone. I have to set aside at least 1 hour 45 minutes for each phone call before I get someone to "help". As I am typing this I am waiting for a tech to come to my house. The appt was from 9-1. I have also been on the phone for 45 minutes with Comcast. They are telling me tech has been to house and resolved issue (not the case). Their automated service says appt is for tomorrow from 9-11, which was discussed, but I explained I would not be home and it would have to be Monday so he gave me Monday 9-1 and gave me a confirmation number. Now at 12:29 they will see if they can get a tech out. They will call me back when they know. Another day wasted. If anyone wants triple play service go to Verizon. Run from Comcast.

    I got Comcast when I moved to my new apartment in Sept 2014. I switched from AT&T because my AT&T bill went too high and I wanted to have my internet-cable within the budget. I called Comcast and spoke to a customer rep who first promised a flat $39 rate and no charges for installation or technician services. Besides I was offered a 50GB internet as part of the deal. I was OK with the service although my internet was very unstable and slow but I believed it was my building that was slowing down the signal. It took me for surprise when I got my bill with charges for $40 for technician, moreover I realized that I never got the 50GB but instead 25GB. I called approximately to complain and they didn't do anything to fix my bill. They offered me to increase my internet from 25 to 50GB at not cost. Never happened. What they did is charged me $10.00 every month for a service I never got. Every month I have to call to ask to correct the bill. I will switch to any provider in a short time frame.

    Some friends of mine who are and older couple just moved and decided to order new Comcast service. They asked me to be there the day of the Comcast install because I work in the computer/internet business myself and they wanted me to make sure the computers were connected and working properly on the internet and that their TV service was working properly. They figured a "second set of eyes" would also be helpful to assure that the Comcast technician did things correctly, because I told them a few horror stories about awful Comcast installs I had witnessed in the recent past.

    The technician was scheduled to arrive between 1 and 3 PM. I arrived around 1:30 PM that day (Nov 7th, 2014). We waited and waited...no Comcast guy by 3PM. We called, they said dispatch said he would be about 30 minutes late...3:30 then 4:00 then 4:30 PM..still no show. We called again, took the customer service guy 20 minutes to try and reach dispatch and the technician. Finally he told us that they could reach the original technician scheduled on the job, but that they transferred it to another technician who was on his way and he would be there before 7:00 PM (on a Friday evening). We said okay,..and...and..wait, wait....wait...wait...NO SHOW. Comcast sucks. Period.

    I'm going to be accurate and fair. The individual I initially called to send technical support over was nice, patient and helpful; unfortunately, the support itself was not. He comes into our door with his first words being "I parked in the 20 min spot, so this better be quick. I don't want a ticket." No name introduction? Kay. After taking a look at our modem, he concluded that there was nothing he could do and that wifi was a luxury, so we'll just have to deal with it. Pardon me, what? I'm usually very understanding, but I just can't comprehend why Comcast would hire employees that represent their company in that manner. I'm disappointed, and will keep this encounter in mind going forward. What a waste of bill payments.

    Just upgraded both my boxes to the Xfinity X1 system two days ago, and within those two days we have already ran into two of THE biggest problems not only with cable, but TV in general I have ever encountered. The first problem, two days after upgrading my boxes, they had a serious malfunction and system problem where the DVR was literally out of commission. All they could say or respond with (via message in front of you on your screen) was press restart and the problem you've encountered MAY be fixed. Well funny thing, that took over a half hour for that to kick in and fix the problem whether it was actually a resetting of the system or not, it was ridiculous and long.

    Now two days later, ON Demand says "Sorry we are experiencing difficulties and cannot process your request"... Sounds like an automated response to me, right? I'm usually not the type to even leave a review, let alone bash something but holy crap these last four days have been dismal for my new X1 set up and xfinity themselves!!!

    April of 2014, Comcast picked up their modem and gave me a receipt showing that. Each month there is a charge for modem rental. Each month I called to get it taken off. Sometimes they would credit it back and try to take it off the bill. Alas, this has been going on every month since. Finally got to talk to a manager and he told me that we will be credited back when they find the modem they picked up. If they don't locate it then we get charged for the whole modem. I asked him if he understood what he just said to mean. "How is that fair?" I asked and he said there is nothing that can be done and I would just have to wait. To make matters worse, they billed us a $70 Trouble Charge. Who can I get to help me make a corporation listen to reason and do what's right?

    I have had to deal with Comcast so many times since 2009 and I've regretted it every single time. If it wasn't bad enough they're pretty much an anti-trust monopoly -- which means I have few alternatives to them -- the service they do provide manages to be wretched, sub-par and abysmal. The service claims to offer up to 75 mbps of broadband speed, yet I rarely ever hit that. My experience with them has been one filled with dropped connections, throttled speeds, and mediocre customer service.

    Every time I try to talk to their customer service reps, my problems rarely get addressed. All I get is palliative reassurances that 'everything is fine' when they test my internet connections (which coincidentally, occurs during the few moments when my connection is stable) and then something about testing my router, only to be told the problem is on my end and not their part. Then after all of that is over, my internet will go back to sucking again.

    Also, for some reason, despite how Comcast rakes in billions of dollars every single fiscal year, they can't seem to make their online, automatic payment system work. As a result, my card doesn't get charged on time and on several different occasions, I've had to pay an exorbitantly large late fee as a punishment for the fact that their servers can't process online payments like other companies do. Long story short: Comcast gets a -1000 out of ten from me. I long for the day when actual competition comes along and either Verizon or Google Fiber comes to this area and I will never have to put up with this scrupulous, amoral company with no ethics or concern for others, ever again.

So I go check the mail on October 31st 2014 and there is a bill in there from Comcast for 1796.00$ so I call and was on the phone with 5 different people explaining what happened. And they all say they charged me a cancellation fee of 1100$ and say to hold on, they need to transfer me or get their supervisor and then I get disconnected!!!! Can someone help me out please!

    Be careful when responding to direct mail or internet offers to join Comcast Xfinity. I responded to a piece of direct mail offering a 200 dollar visa card and all sorts of perks, including free HBO for two years, etc. Here I am four months into being a customer, no gift card and had to argue to get the HBO and they would only put me on a 6 month offer. They cannot locate my introductory offer stipulations, even though I have the offer right in front of me. Numerous calls to their customer service department proved futile with inexperienced reps ringing their hands, not knowing what to say or how to fix the problem. One thing is for sure, if they don't know what they're offering and seem to be baiting and switching once you join, GET EVERYTHING in writing before you agree to switch from your current cable/internet company..

    Setting up these bogus tech appointments is just another way to reach into the customer's pocket! Funny that this problem started to happen at exactly the same time that I had called Comcast about their monthly bill notification email. Every month, I would receive an email that stated "Your Bill is Ready". This email would be sent to me 7-8 days after I had just paid my previous bill! WTF? Totally annoying! So I called Comcast and told them to STOP sending these email notifications. It was right at that time I found myself having to constantly login to get my email. BTW, I will NOT set up auto pay with this Crap Xfinity/Comcast Company because I don't trust them one iota, i.e., I DO NOT want them to have free reign with my bank account. I need to get set up with a new ISP ASAP!

    The only service I'm getting from Comcast is a high bill. My service is hardly ever working & customer service are very disrespectful & always blame it on my computer or a virus. I've taken my computer in; nothing wrong. I've talked to Norton security; they said my security system is working & I have no viruses & the only thing not working is internet explorer. They just want to send a tech so they can charge me extra money. A tech came out in the past & said they didn't give me the right cords & the internet modem was jumping, so he had to get new cords & a different modem out of his van. But they still charged me on my bill; even though they say if it's their service that's not working, you don't have to pay. I shouldn't even have to pay my bill since my service isn't working. At one time, I had internet & cable, but when I cut off the cable I received a higher bill, just for the internet. Usually, when people get put on hold with other companies, there's a soft music playing on the phone, but when they put you on hold, rock music is blasting in my ear, which is very disrespectful.

They have sent me modems, they have sent Techs and nothing seems to fix the problem. Every time I call I get a different answer. In fact the Tech who was here again today had to ask why the modem was acting so crazy saying "I've never seen it do this before". The Tech did nothing and I'm just waiting for my internet to go down again. Then I talked to some guy who offered me a $20 credit after I was promised a large credit. Insulting after a year of this.

    I have been with Comcast for almost 2 years. Had to get them because they are the only providers of wifi services in the neighborhood I moved into. So I bundled my phone/internet/cable. I am not a heavy user so imagine my surprise when I get a notification that I have used over 300GB for the past 2 months! In fact I was already over 300 just 16 days into the month!!! Their response was perhaps someone hacked my wifi. REALLY! That's your explanation? Felt better that I wasn't crazy when I see it has happened to others. So I called today to cancel my services. Was disconnected 3 different times! So now what? I now have to get a mifi device so I can have internet access in my home. Also I called xfinity back to see what my bill would be if I just kept the wifi and was told it would be 100.00!! How can that be when most plans average about 25.00 a month! How can they charge so much!!!! Something needs to be done about this.

    I have been a COMCAST customer since moving to Florida after retiring from the navy as a communication chief which only say because I have a good understanding of outages, troubleshooting and customer service. So it stomps me how Comcast via commercials, sales personnel and expect folks to pay top dollar for that they one, cannot consistently provide and two, the customer will not and does not receive. For over 8 months almost a year I have been experiencing intermittent Internet service from Comcast.

    When I phone to report the outage I would have to wait for 20 minutes just to speak to the 1st rep, who would transfer me around several time. When I get to the Internet people they would be rude condescending and out insult my intelligence. They constantly would make it an issue to shift the blame on me by saying it was my modem which I purchased a new one, my now being hardwired or using my laptop or something of the sort. I got to so frustrated I had repair guys out at least four or five times.

    My service never worked on command not to mention when I needed it for college. I have been hung up on, notes not placed, transferred to the Philippines. You name it I've experienced it and still was expected to pay for the service. I've contacted their corporate office and left messages for a CT at 9545347115 numerous times and never got a call back. Long story short I was forced to terminate the service out of aggravation and hopelessness after they shut my service off for $40, while I had poor service at full price. I dislike Comcast and they are the actual turtles not the DSL folks, as far as the services they provide. Worthless ripoffs!

Required unplugging and plugging it in again to get it to work. I contacted Comcast technical support and they reset the modem, which did not solve the problem. Contacted them a second time and was told to try changing the channel to either channel 6 or 11 and if that didn't work the modem was defective and should be replaced. Well, it didn't solve the problem so called support a 3rd time and was told a replacement would be sent out.

    After waiting for almost a week and no modem arriving, I contacted them again and was told there was no record stating a new modem would be sent out and they would send a technician out to troubleshoot the problem and replace it if they determined it was in fact defective. This after three calls to tech support who told me it was defective! When I called tech support again, I was told they'd send a replacement out but would be charged for postage even though the unit was defective. This modem is a rental from Comcast and I consider it disgraceful that any charges should apply! I am so totally disgusted with Comcast.

    I moved in to a new apartment in January of this year. Part of the move-in package was a flyer for comcast service, advertising special pricing on their plans for the whole complex. I called in and spoke to a guy who was pretty rude to begin with, and he explained that there was a $30, $40, and $50 options (typical good better best). I chose the $40 plan and he told me the soonest they could come out was a week and half away... Okay... I scheduled the install for as early as they go, 8 am. I had to leave for work by 11. The installer brought a "trainee" and had him setup the system instead. Not a big deal, except the guy clearly didn't know what he was doing and they kept running into "problems with the wiring" of my apartment. Whatever. It took them 3 hours and 3 separate modems to find one that was compatible with my apartment. Funny, I thought they worked with the whole complex?

    My first bill was $130. This apparently was including a $15 per hour rate for each installer. NOT OKAY. Second bill, $50. What?? I went along paying it, happy to just have the internet, until July when my bills went up to $75. I could NOT afford that. At that point, my roommate had bailed on our lease and I was paying everything by myself anyways. I opened a chat with a rep and they told me I was on a "promotional period" that was only for 6 months. I read over all my paperwork from my install and my bills and nowhere, freaking nowhere, did it ever say promotional or mention what my bills would be afterwards.

    I still had two months on my lease so I couldn't cancel, but I was pissed. I called in finally this week to cancel (they advertise 24/7 service but not for their cancellation dept) and spoke to a rep. Nicest person I talked to in the whole experience, and also an idiot. He repeated questions, took twenty minutes for the whole process, and kept asking me about my personal life and why I was moving. He also told me that I was going to be billed for the month I moved out anyways?? Comcast is billing me $75 for the month of September after I called and said my last day will be August 31st. He said they will send me a check with the amount left after what service I used. I'M NOT USING IT THE WHOLE MONTH??? What the hell!! Greedy jerks is all I can say.

    The reps, or laughably named "account executives," are worse than useless. The first two I spoke with had no suggestions at all besides "unplug it and then plug it back in". With the first, I could hear other people coaching him from the background. The third flat-out lied to me to get me off the phone. I didn't get the same answers from any two reps, and as it turned out, none of the answers they gave me were right anyway.

    If Comcast is allowed to merge with Time-Warner, it will be a kick in the face to every customer in the country.

    They started charging us per usage. It was fine at 300G a month. Then last month, it skyrocketed (even though we had one laptop, two iPhones and an iPad) which was less than the normal 2 laptops, on desktop. We don't use our wireless for our phones and make sure nothing is running in background. We have had these phones for over a year and never went over. We also had two desktops, two laptops, one iPad, and Netflix (no, it's not running unless we say ok to access), yet it jumped from 245G to over 365G within days.

    Now I suppose everyone must be a complete moron when it comes to calling Comcast. These customer service reps are usually from the Philippines. Not only is there service crap but they take away money to provide jobs to us in the US. Now it took almost a year and a half the first time we complained about slow internet. They sent guys out at least 4 times... Each one pretended they were going to fix it because I am just a female. They had no idea what they were talking about... I did... So after about 16 calls complaining and 4 different "experts" (you guys should really make sure these people know what they are talking about because the IQ together of these people you sent out was maybe 40). The last guy went out and checked the line. It had water in it (this was the first time).

    A year and a half later and at least 12 phone calls, another few guys come out. All were idiots... Minus the last one. He took off what you all used to use on the line. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called but it basically made sure we were not able to get above the speed we were promised (Sorry, I can't remember what it's called). He came back in and stated that he removed that cable block because they had not used that in years since they upgraded, yet ours was still there. Worked great for a while. Then Comcast got greedy.

    They bought out Time Warner so they couldn't compete. So Comcast has monopolized an already crappy city. Living in the only place that hasn't been incorporated into Memphis. They charge what they want. Now I called them when we had gone over our 300g. Mind you again, we only had one computer (laptop), two iPhones (which we don't surf the internet on), and one iPad. When I called, I was told I needed to change my password because hackers can get into it. I am not an idiot. I know all about the hackers, identity, passwords, etc., etc. The guy I spoke with from Comcast was an idiot. He was also rude. Change your password...etc., etc. I can change the password constantly but if you are monitoring what I am using, shouldn't you be able to show what is using it?

    They provided me with nonsense. I have a great virus/ad ware/security protection, Comcast said get a virus removal, change your password, sell your first born. Comcast, not everyone you deal with is an IDIOT. And again they could not tell me what caused our overage. I told them that considering I have LESS connected last month than the month before, there is no way in H(*& that we went over. This month, I have been the only one home (kids in school, husband at work, dogs do not use computers (unless they are really smart and play when I am sleeping!!!!), no iPads on, no iPhones on, no Netflix, and one laptop), yet I am at 145 G. BTW, we do not have cable with them, we do not have phones with them... It's just the modem.

    I had a program that showed me who was connected and it never showed anything that was not what was supposed to be connected. I believe Comcast decided to do this because they don't want to upgrade to handle the load. They throttle and/or they just decide to make it slow. Paying 80 dollars to watch how slow the internet has become or to get an "it's busy" is silly. My speed is terrible, I don't want to speak with someone in the Philippines. I almost forgot one night I called and spoke with someone from the Philippines. We were disconnected and I could not get back online. I called back, wasted another 45 minutes to be told that the last lady cancelled my service!!!!! Comcast is getting paid for bad service. Loading pages is the worst.. It's nonsense.

    The most hated company in the country, and nothing is being done to change their abuse of customers. Worst customer service ever. When I called today, to make a payment through the automated system, it processed a payment for the full balance, instead of the past due amount, because it misunderstood my "NO" for a "YES". The automated system did not verify the amount I was committing to pay, and processed the full payment. I talked to a rep & a supervisor in the financial department within 2 minutes, and because it was done through the automated system, their hands were tied. They offered to credit back the current charges, within 2 weeks.

    When you call customer service, with each representative, you have to verify more information about yourself, than I do when I call a bank. But, the automated system doesn't even confirm the amount you're paying before it is processed, and to process a payment with a customer service person, charges a fee. I am beyond angry. Last year, I canceled all cable television. I don't want to spend money to watch repetitive tv, and reality tv while being smothered in commercials during the programming and even within the television shows themselves. I also don't want to spend my valuable downtime getting wrapped up in a new series that gets canceled after one or two seasons (this generally happens with the shows I like the most). So, I use Netflix and Amazon Prime, and I don't watch new series until they have 3 seasons available. Because of this choice, I need high speed internet. The only choice of company for quality high speed internet is Comcast.

    After talking with them today, I immediately began looking at other internet providers and reviews from their customers. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with Comcast, and at this point, I am so frustrated with paying a company that abuses its customers that I am seriously considering canceling internet service, and just reading books, going to movies, and using my cellphone limitedly to access the internet for news and information.

Also to offer legal proof that I am aware of my bill behind due 7-20-2014 but will not make a payment until my bill is adjusted correctly. Any attempt to charge me a late charge for not paying an incorrect and probably illegal charge will be documented also. I have given Comcast ample time to correct this error and have been met with total disregard.

    Update: I paid $120 to Comcast today 7-19-2014 which is less than they say I owe but more than I actually owe. I told them to put a note on my file that I was disputing the charges. Only time will tell if I'm charged a late fee or not. Well alright then, here is the scoop on my Comcast saga. It will soon become obvious why they have taken control of the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE of any corporation in America.

    6-1-2014 @ 7:39pm - Called Comcast Customer Service (19 minute call) to report a problem with my internet and they scheduled a service call from between 8:00 and 10:00 am on 6-6-2014. 6-6- 2014 @ 2:00 pm the Comcast serviceman arrived 4 hours later than scheduled. Was unable to fix the problem, but was told I would have $20 credited to my account for them being late.

    6-7-2014 @ 9:38 am called Comcast back (26 minute call) to say I was still having problems with internet service. Was able to talk to an intelligent person who updated the router firmware which fixed the problem. He also, because of the problem the day before and the continuing problem that he fixed, offered to double my internet speed and lower my bill from $140 a month to $90 a month for a year. I agreed and checking on speakeasy found that my speed had, in fact doubled. 7-14-2014 Went online to pay my bill and it was for $267.95.

    7-16-2014 Drove to local Comcast office to discuss bill. Was told that they were unable to make any changes in the bill, but the girl did itemize the bill and said at least $67.75 was a double billing and was an error. She gave me a number to call. At 4:20 pm called Comcast billing (46 minute call), the first person I talked to said that the bill was correct and there was nothing they could do about it. When I mentioned the $67.75 double charge, they acknowledged it was an error, but said that they weren't authorized to fix it. I asked them to connect me with someone who was authorized to fix it. The next person was a little more helpful, but said that they were unable to do anything either and that I would have to talk to someone in Customer Satisfaction. The first thing this person told me was that the bill was correct and that I would have to pay it. When I asked her about the $67.75, like the other people before her, she acknowledged that it was incorrect, but she didn't have the authority to remove the charge.

    I went over the previous story about how I changed my service to get the lower rate and her response was, "Well, honey, you are getting a significant discount for what you are getting." I told her that I was only interested in getting service for less than what I was already paying and not more. After 30 minutes I was able to finally get her to remove all of the extra services to where it was before, however she was unable to get the $67.75 removed. (WTH?)

    7-17-2014 After checking my bill today the charges had dropped to $176.25 which is still more than my usual bill of $140.00 and since I was somehow supposed to have an additional $20 removed for them being late on 6-6, they are charging me at least $50.00 over. I called Comcast again (19 minutes)and got someone who sounded like Garrison Keillor. (without being too prejudiced, I imagine him to be an Episcopalian carrying a Costco card). The first words from his mouth were, "well sir, I see we've already given a significant amount of credits to your account." That was enough. I demanded to talk to one of his supervisors. He said wait a minute and put me on hold. Five minutes later he came back on and said a supervisor was about ready to talk.

    Five more minutes later he said that I should wait another day or two and that the credits should appear on my bill. I told him that I wanted it put on my account that if it wasn't below $120.00 by the time the bill was due that I was not going to pay anything and that I would be bringing my modem/router and cable box back to Comcast. He said he would do that.

    I had to smile at the latest public exposure of Comcast's attitude toward customers (The viral bit about the customer trying to cancel his account). Actually, the smile came when I read Comcast's public statement about this latest fiasco. The response was supposedly written by Tom Karinshak, Senior VP - Customer Experience. I've heard numerous people saying they feel sorry for the agent involved in this debacle because he was most likely only doing as told by his superiors. I suspect there is truth in this assumption.

    Our problems with Comcast began over two years ago (TV and Internet). After months of trying to get someone at Comcast to care about our problems, I contacted Corporate. They assigned a senior level employee (their word) to help. This was almost a year ago. Since then, numerous techs have come out to "fix" our problems. Each tech finds something s/he says is the cause of all our issues. The "something" is fixed and the tech leaves. An hour or two later, the issues reoccur. Comcast keeps sending out senior techs who find new problems and "fix" them. At this point, they have replaced just about every part of the system and yet the service issues remain. Meanwhile, getting anyone at the Company to respond to e-mail or telephone calls takes days and even weeks. Keep in mind, by now we are dealing with people at the Corporate level, not the low level field reps.

    We are very frustrated and fed-up. Every month the bill must be paid, but no one seems to care that we lose channels in mid-program or that our Internet connection is often slower than old-fashioned dial-up. A month ago, we sent another letter to Mr. Karinshak explaining our frustration. We have heard nothing. However, after talking with friends and doing some online research, I now understand why. Mr. Karinshak may be in charge of customer experience, but he never sees any negative feedback. He is so well insulated from customers he has little or no idea how poorly his company is fulfilling the terms of the "customer guarantee."([I'm not sure you can call mere words a guarantee!) If Mr. Karinshak wants to know how his company is performing, I suggest he make himself more accessible. Read the forum posts. Allow customers to e-mail him directly. Spend some time in the field listening to customers. Not all of us are cranks or people bent on dragging a company through the mud and muck. Some of us are simply frustrated and desperate to be heard by someone who will effect meaningful change.

    We had Comcast service but I noticed that our bill almost doubled at one month. I paid that since I didn't have time to discuss with Comcast people. You know how painful is that since they really don't understand simple math. The next month, surprisingly, the bill quadrupled and I stopped paying that and service suspended for a month. Today, I tried to check the account and spend some time to solve the issue with customer service and, surprisingly, I noticed that Comcast has kept charging and overcharging us while the service was suspended. This is absolutely unacceptable. I wanted to contact the law office of our college to sue this company. They may have overcharged a lot of people as well and this is a big fraud.

    6/21, internet stops working. Call Comcast service line. Talk with someone who apologizes for the inconvenience. Determines that the modem (supplied by Comcast) is not working. Says they can send someone on 6/24. I explain that I work on the Internet and that I cannot be out of touch for that long. Person apologizes again and says they will escalate the trouble ticket and I will hear from someone on 6/22 by noon. Noon on 6/22 comes and goes and I hear from no one.

    Call Comcast again. Supervisor apologizes again and says the the escalation was denied but that I will hear from someone at Comcast by 10 am on 6/23. 10 am on 6/23 comes and goes, and another call to Comcast and another supervisor apologizes for the inconvenience. This supervisor "guarantees" that someone from Comcast will call and that a service person will come to my house by the end of the day on 6/23, but just to make sure, I have an appointment for a service call between 3 and 5 pm on 6/24. You guess it - no call and no service on 6/23, but service tech does come to my house at 4 pm on 6/24 and "fixes" the Internet problem. By this time, I have spent more than 2 and a half hours on the telephone with Comcast.

    Fast forward a few days to 6/27, and internet is out again. Another call to Comcast, another apology for the inconvenience. Supervisor promises service by midday on 6/28, but, no surprise, no one shows. Another call to Comcast, another apology for the inconvenience and another promise that someone will call between 10 am and noon on 6/29 to arrange to fix the problem. No one calls or fixes anything and another call to Comcast and another apology for the inconvenience. This time, no promise of quick service (I think by now they figure I have caught on that they can make all the promises they want and I can't do anything if the promise is not kept; so why bother), but there will be a service person here between 8 and 10 am on 7/1. I'll believe it when I see it.

    It's pretty clear that there is a disconnect between the folks who take your call for service and the people who actually fix things and Comcast just as clearly doesn't seem concerned about that disconnect. Oh, and when I called and asked for a credit for the service that I'm paying for and not getting, then Comcast offered to sell me some additional services. Sounds like a good deal!

I have to reboot the modem and just cross my fingers that I can get access again to continue watching TV and to complete work I took home from the office. It's the REGULARITY of the outage that frustrates me. I am going to look for any other internet service provider - if anyone launches a class-action lawsuit over the lack of service we have paid for, count me in. Unless, of course, the 1% has rigged the system and we 99%ers can no longer petition for relief via class action suits.

    Had my internet service mysteriously stop working a week ago while listening to Pandora. Think Comcast gives two craps about correcting problem as promised to a customer of many years- think again! I knew something was up many months ago when my internet kept going out & losing its IP address or default gateway constantly plus having modems replaced twice in barely a year. And I was always told it was "interference in my own home" & not any fault of theirs. Oh & also recently supposedly some interference in MY house was creating interference with "other neighbors' service" that required them to come in my house- but at last minute they decided wasn't necessary without further comment- maybe cause I made it clear I didn't wish to upgrade like they wanted.

    It's all in the news now and all part of a game of greed on their part to use your home internet signals that YOU pay dearly for monthly to fuel their big project of "providing alleged secure wifi hotspots" that have been shown by experts to not be totally secure & unhackable. Glad I moved on to use another carrier & not wait for it to hit the fan & have my computer hacked. Comcast got too high & mighty for their pants & it will come back to bite them in the end & I will be laughing (with working service & much better customer service) when karma comes around!

    Comcast SERVICE is atrocious. They raise prices monthly. I have been a customer for 10 years and I have to wait 3 weeks for service? I broke my pelvis and asked Comcast to deliver an HD box and install it so I can watch TV downstairs since I can't walk upstairs. I am flat on my back. Multiple calls got me nowhere. They cannot come until 3 weeks. What is wrong with them? They suck all this money off their customers and when I ask for 1 service, which I have to pay for they give me an appointment 3 weeks later. All begging and asking resulted in nothing.

    Their internet services is flawed. They charge for tiny boxes I received 10 years ago monthly 9.95. So I like to get tv downstairs because I am in a wheelchair and can't go upstairs and voila I have to wait 3 weeks. THIS IS UNHEARD OF. They are monopolizing the market and therefore don't care for real customer service. It's totally not fair. They moved it to the 28th of June, 11 days from now. Why can't they offer a simple service to a customer who really is just laying there and unable to go to a store and get the box?

    Earlier this year we upgraded our internet service. We have been plagued with lag spikes ever since. We game, stream, and download virtual products regular. We have a top of the line router. Prior to upgrading our connection, we began to experience daily disconnections during peak hours. Comcast suggested upgrading when we complained, so we did.

    I can't tell you what's worse - good speeds with daily outages or fluctuating speeds and weekly outages. There have been days when our speeds are 15kb/s. If I could change to another broadband ISP, I'd have no hesitation. I'd even pay more if meant leaving Comcast in the dust. My European friends laugh at my expensively slow internet...

    To be honest, I am frustrated at the lack of customer service and what seems to be poor communication within the Comcast Company. From March 1st until the end of May, I did not receive Comcast Internet service because of ongoing and unresolved issues. During this time, I still paid anywhere from $48-$79 per month. The Internet was shutting off multiple times a day, leaving a small window of an hour or so to use it. We would attempt to reset the modem, check for loose cables, stop and restart everything, but most times this did not work. When that was the case, I had to call the Comcast office and have them restart our modem from their end. I did this anywhere from 2-7 times a week for three months.

    Since March 1st, I have called numerous times! I have called to have a technician come out and check the internet connection at least four times, I have called to have assistance restarting our modem 30+ times, I have gone in to exchange our modem twice, and I have even called to attempt to resolve our billing 6+ times. It took THREE MONTHS and EIGHT DAYS, for the Internet issues to even begin being resolved! I feel that I have been paying a company to lie to me in order to placate my anger while they do nothing to resolve the issues. Here is a short summary of my life with Comcast in the last three months:

    · Four Technicians came to the home and claimed they had “fixed the problem.” Within an hour, the Internet was once again broken.
    · On the phone daily, employees promise that the issue is resolved. The Internet would crash within the hour.
    · Told that wiring in the house may need to be fixed to resolve issue. Rewired home and problem persists.
    · Told that Comcast wiring in the neighborhood is broken. Neighborhood technician fixes the problem and the problem continues.

    · Went to the Comcast office to try two new modems. Problem unresolved and monthly bill is raised.

    I have noticed my service bill has gone up since April 1st. I do not understand nor do I want to pay since I have not received any services promised for March, April or May. When I call, I am told a supervisor is not in, they are on a trip, and they are too busy to answer my call. I called the billing department around May 28th and was promised that a supervisor would be calling me back no later than June 4th to resolve the issue. This never happened. I called back in an attempt to have the conversation I was promised and was told that my credits are on hold and a supervisor is not in at the moment to discuss it further. Many times I have been told that I will get a credit on my account but this is never given. It wasn't until I spoke with someone from the Loyalties department that I was finally helped with my billing. This was, however, after I threatened to cancel my service due to the employee demeaning and accusing me! I am unimpressed.

    I am a client of Comcast Business Internet for the past 4 years. A couple of days ago, they performed a migration from Microsoft Exchange 2007 to Microsoft Exchange 2010. They sent me an email stating that this migration will be performed on Sat night 11pm to 7am Sun (May 31, 2014 to June 1, 2014) at which time my internet services will be interrupted. However, when the service was resumed on Sunday night (much later than they said in their email), I found that they had changed my server address (which ends in comcast.net). This change in server address had a drastic effect on my Business Contact Manager within MS Outlook.

    It literally made it impossible for me to access my list of business contacts and their information. Over the past 4 years, I had built a list of 2,250 email subscribers and my whole business is dependent on this list. I have called their technical support list for several times now and their reps keep saying they have passed this ticket to their Tier 2 tech and they will be calling me. But I have not heard a word from Comcast's Tier 2 tech support. I feel I've been sidelined and abandoned. They created a big problem for me with this migration and now they don't want to assist in resolving this matter. Almost all of the Comcast reps I have spoken to seem to be passing the buck, claiming the problem is with me or with Microsoft.

    I wish these tech reps at Comcast will stop dilly dallying and get back to me promptly to resolve this huge problem that they had created due to their negligence. They failed to consider the consequences on changing the server settings on the Business Contact Manager in MS Outlook of their clients. What is really frustrating for me is that no one from their Tier 2 tech support called me up to now. Today is the 3rd day I am waiting. They just kept me waiting like they don't care. On the other hand, I am so anxious and desperate that I restraint myself from going to the bathroom as I don't want to miss their call.

    I called March 19 to request a service technician visit, which was then scheduled for Friday, March 21. We had stayed home all day to accommodate the huge window of "sometime between 12p-5p." We received a call about noon from the Service operators & were told a technician would arrive at 2:45p. We asked to receive a call when they were on their way. We received neither. No call, no technician. When I called later that evening, I spent 2 hours on the phone with customer service in Manila, Philippines... From 6:45p-7p, spoke to Robert who could not get my information correct, after repeating my number numerous times. I asked him to update my information, he did not. I asked to speak to a supervisor, spoke to Pao.

    He gave the reason a technician did NOT come out because we didn't answer the phone when the technician called 3 times. We never received a call from a technician, & regardless, there was someone at the house the entire day. At 7:30p we were finally given an "Escalated Ticket Report" which "guaranteed" that a technician would call us back by 7:50P to schedule a visit the following morning-service ticket #**. We were reassured to call back if that didn't happen and speak to Pao directly. We received no such call.

    At 7:55p, I call back & they had NOT updated my information to get through the long menu & maze of prompts. They had a number that had not existed for over 10 yrs which we have requested changed NUMEROUS times before, as well as over 10 times this same evening. Finally reached rep Dana. Seems no one at Comcast listens very well because she AGAIN asked me for my information numerous times. I asked to speak to Pao, she said that it was impossible because she didn't know who that was & there is no way to transfer calls, track, nor locate anyone in any way (he said he was a supervisor). I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager because I have been on the phone for over 2 hours & don't want to spend the entire evening on hold. She put me on hold & never came back. I hung up at 8:24p - that's THIRTY MINUTES ON HOLD with no follow-up.

    I called AGAIN at 8:24p, quite upset. I reached Nick. When I asked politely to speak to a manager because I have an issue that must be escalated, he disconnected the call without another word. We are paying $130/month for this service & this was NOT proper customer care at all. Relentless to resolve the issue, I called back yet AGAIN at 8:27p. Spoke to Kalhan who said we had no such "escalated ticket report" in progress. Took my number to "call back in case we were disconnected". Very nicely, she was "scheduling a technician", said it was the most urgent of requests, gave me a service #**. THEN she said it was a WAITING list for a POTENTIAL call from a technician by noon the next day, asserting that a call was NOT GUARANTEED. I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager that could escalate it & give me something more precise. At 9:03,she disconnected the call.

    I waited 10 minutes for the promised call back in case of disconnection that never came. This seems to be a VERY COMMON practice at COMCAST. Called back at 9:13p; spoke to Hendrick who quoted the reason the technician didn't come was because there was a "power outage" (a different story than what previous excuses were) which cancelled service calls. He prepared yet ANOTHER ticket #**. Promised that we would get a call before midnight to plan the service visit the next morning. Promised follow-up callback in 3 hrs which never happened. This is a "24-hour service". I've now had contact with 6 service staff members who have done NOTHING but disconnect calls w/ no result.

    My Comcast Account number was ** and I had disconnected all my services as of 10/29/2013. Earlier I had Double play (cable and Internet) and the bill for the same services up to 10/08 to 11/07 ($89.99+$21.93+tax = $115.91) was paid on 10/25/2013. I had disconnected the cable on 10/25/2013 so in billing from Comcast dated 11/2/2013 (total bill of $16.18), the partial refunds were issued for prorated period between 10/25 to 11/07 for Double play. The internet service was changed as XFINITY High Speed Internet with the net monthly charge of $44.99 (11/8 to 12/7) and also charged for the adjusted period of 14 days (10/25 to 11/07) for $29.33-$9.01 = $20.32 with net total of $65.31 for High Speed Internet service from 10/25 to 12/07.

    Then I also disconnected the XFINITY High Speed Internet service on 10/29/2013 but the final bill I received on 11/21/2013 had issued the refund for as High Speed Internet only from 11/21 to 12/07 and the refund for the XFINITY High Speed Internet for period between 10/29 and 11/20 is missing which might worth around $40. Even though the representatives agree that my High Speed Internet was disconnected on 10/29, they are wrongly claiming that I have received the full refund which is not true and is totally incorrect.

    When asked about it, the account rep is confusing with actual order date and completed disconnection date... and also rep is saying that there is no additional charges... and I have not paid for that period and the bill is correct and can't issue the refund. Even I explained I am receiving a refund for Internet services I had paid up to 12/7 but the refund is issued only from 11/21 to 12/7 instead of the actual cancellation date of 10/29 to 12/7. I am not disputing the bill. The bill has issued a refund for me from 11/21 to 12/7 but the actual refund should have been from 10/29 to 12/7. Why no one is able to get this simple issue cleared out and issue a proper and correct refund and how many customers are being cheated like this.

    What am I missing here? I was on the phone with reps may be more than 10 times for a total of around 6 to 8 hrs...but no use. Why this treatment? They agree that I called for disconnecting my service on 10/29 but trying to come up with various weird reasons to deny my eligible prorated correct refund.

    I am a snowbird. I called on Monday, March 3, to report that the cable box doesn't respond and that I would like a service technician to come and replace it. I was informed a technician would come between 1-3pm on Tuesday, March 4. At 4pm that day, I called so many times I can't remember, and was told that I was mistaken about the appointment time. It was rescheduled for Wednesday, March 5 between 1-3pm. I decided to drive to the Lake Worth location and replace the box myself. They were very nice at that location.

    I replaced the box myself, called the number provided, 1-855-OK-BEGIN. Went through an automated sequence, but the cable box didn't respond. But, at least the BYPASS light was illuminated (the box I returned was totally dead). I was told it would take 45 minutes (by the automation) for the system to load the information. I was also told that my service call was open and that the expected time of arrival by the technician is between 2:50-3:10PM. Needless to say, as I type this the time is 5:18pm and no call, no service technician, NOTHING.

    While I waited, I logged on to Comcast.com to try and get resolution from there... nothing again. I have called about 4x. I have been asked the same questions over and over again with the same results: NOTHING. I requested for a supervisor to call, put on hold and then disconnected. This happened 2x. Right now I got hold of yet another person and was told a supervisor will call me back. THIS IS DISGRACEFUL SERVICE. How can we have this kind of service (or lack thereof) in this country? You would expect it from a 3rd world country? What is the problem???? I am so upset right now. I will report another complaint/update if there is one. I am exhausted right now. This is supposed to be my vacation and I've wasted two days out of my week!

    I replaced my Comcast modem with one I purchased from Best Buy over a year ago. When I installed mine, they had me call in to give them the model number, etc. They also said I had to return the Comcast modem to a service center which I did. About six months later I noticed the rental charge still on my bill so I called in to get it taken off. The guy I spoke with was very nice and said they would investigate and call me back within two to three days. No call back and I forgot about it until now and see they are still charging me for a rental. So called again and now they want me to go back to the service center with the receipt for the modem I purchased over a year ago! They will then "investigate" and remove charges. Really... I've been a customer of Comcast since 1998 and have had issues with them before but now they are telling me they don't care anymore. Just the aggravation of having to drive there again, wait in line and prove to them that I bought the modem. I asked the Comcast rep if there was someone I could speak with that could resolve this issue and she said no, I had to go to the center. I think Comcast has lost the idea that customers are number one and they've gotten too big to handle stuff like this. It's very disappointing but DirecTV, here I come.

    I called Comcast on December 15th to let them know that we were moving and to shut off our service on December 23rd. As usual the Comcast customer service agent that I talked to was not American and their command of the English language was not perfect. A couple of weeks later after moving I took their cable TV boxes back. Then I get a bill in the mail for service owing for January and more for February. So I call them back and I get the gal from India (or wherever) again, who tells me that they thought that I was moving my service to a new address. After going round and round with her, she had me wait on-hold for at least 20 minutes until a bona-fide American "account executive" could get on the line, who told me that I had never made a shut-off request, even though their non-native customer service agent had just told me that my shut-off request had been misinterpreted by them.

    So they refused to give me any credit for telling them to turn my service off until after the date that I turned their equipment back into them, claiming that I never told them to shut off my service. What obviously happened was that their foreign-based customer service worker misunderstood me, and Comcast's official response is that I should have called back to make sure that my first call was received accurately. So just so that we all know, either make at least a couple of follow-up calls to Comcast just to make sure your first calls weren't misunderstood by their second-rate foreign customer service workers or be ready to pay Comcast for extra service costs. Thanks but no thanks, Comcast. I won't be needing that run around ever again.

    Our power company sent a letter saying that our cable running into the house from Comcast which we now only use for internet was too close to the power line running into the house and was in violation of the electrical codes. I called Comcast and they said they would take care of it. When they never came out, I called back and the ticket was closed. I had it reopened and they said they would take care of it this time. Nothing happened and I called and the ticket had been closed again. This has now happened 3 times and nothing has been done. The internet service is already really slow and the fact that they have such awful customer service makes me glad we are moving soon and there will be more options for internet. I told Comcast that if the power company threatens to turn off our power because of the location of the cable that I would cut it and remove it completely and find internet elsewhere. I still haven't seen any sign that they are going to do anything about this. When I lived in Indianapolis I had no problems with Comcast, but my experience is that they are awful in Illinois.

    I got new Internet only service when I moved a month ago. They gave me a $39.95 "deal," but my bills will be close to $60 a month after all the added charges. No satisfaction at all with queries. Initially, my modem would not work (I was supposed to self-install). I spent two hours on the phone troubleshooting, turning it on and off, etc. They told me that the modem was receiving fine according to their system. Finally got a guy out 4 days later. The wiring out the side of the house was simply waving in the air - not connected to anything. Receiving, my eye.

    Then, the past week, I have sat HOURS waiting for pages to load. Internet speed goes from 0 up to .5 mbps, peaks at 5mbps, and then back to 0. I have unplugged and reset the modem a number of times. No help. I make my living on the computer and am extremely upset that I couldn't get work completed. I cannot find any way to report a problem online. I type "Report a Problem" in the search box and it reverts to the default page. The Silver City phone number in the phone directory and online is a disconnected number. Is there no recourse for bad service?

    When I moved I called to have Comcast installed because like everyone else I saw their ads and thought I would be getting good service. Boy was I ever wrong. When I called I stated I wanted the DVR in one room and standard in four other rooms. Was told okay and they would be out in a few days to do it. The day of installation arrives and the installer hooks up my DVR in the living room and then he hooks up the internet in my master and he's ready to leave. Hold up I say what about my other rooms. His reply was: "That wasn't on my work order, I have to call it in."

    After walking around my house he tells me he can't install cable in my bedrooms because the wires were installed wrong and I would have to have wall facing because the wires come in through the attic. I asked could he do it and he said no, Comcast didn't do it anymore. I would have to hire an electrician to install them. I asked, "Can't you drill a hole in from the outside and do it," he said no. I asked since it was installed wrong couldn't we just start over. I just bought the house but I'm assuming Comcast is the one who installed the wires since its their box on the side of the house. He said no because it was already installed I had to have an electrician come out and fix it. I asked him many times could we do it this way or that way and every time was "No, Comcast doesn't do that."

    So I get on the phone to Comcast. After being hung up on 9 times, I finally get to speak with someone. I explained I want to cancel my service because I can't get cable in my bedrooms. I spoke with Juan and he told me Comcast does do wall facing but there is a charge. I had to pay $60 for the guy to come back out plus $30 for wall facing per room and $35 for something else. It was going to cost around 200 dollars. I said no cancel my service. Juan said, "Wait, I'm going to get this straightened out because the installer could have installed it differently." He said, "I'm putting this in the computer, call back tomorrow," and they would get someone else out here to install it.

    So I call back today and spoke with the rudest person ever. I'm told they had to install the wall facing because I live in an apartment. What I explained to Juan yesterday that I live in a one story house that I own and yes we could drill a hole in the wall or the floor or anything that needed to be done. After I told her that she hung up on me. So I call back and tell them I want to cancel my service and the lady I spoke with tries to get me to change my mind. I said nope cancel my service. I may have kept trying had the internet worked the way it was supposed to. Only my laptop connects with the internet. My son's Xbox won't connect nor with my tablet. Done with Comcast for good. This was their second chance with me. Canceled years ago because they keep going up on my bill.

    In the beginning of this year I decided to leave greedy AT&T DSL and switch to Comcast cable Internet. I don’t subscribe to the land line or TV so Internet is all I need. I switched on Jan 5, attached wireless router to my own cable modem, Comcast tech connected the modem and everything was ok - until Monday Jan 20. After 5pm on that day, my whole family started complaining about outages that would occur 3-4 times an hour and last anywhere from 2 to 10 min. I did quick troubleshooting and realized that cable modem loses the signal then regains it. Naturally, I decide to contact Comcast tech support, without knowing yet that what will happen next will be beyond Good and Evil – just incredible.

    So my first contact is made via Comcast chat, in between two outages. At this point chat was broken by yet another outage. So, I immediately drive to the store and fork out $75 for DOCSIS 3 model from Zoom Telephonics. I install it, my computer asked me to run Comcast registration for the new device and everything connects. I live happily for another 30 min. Then, as you guessed already, another outage occurs and 15 min later – another one.

    I go into chat again and request reimbursement. Agent asks if I have a proof that such reimbursement was indeed promised to me, to which I reply that I saved the entire conversation to PDF file. Agent then files a case and tells me that I will be contacted within 2-3 days (which didn't happen yet but it may happen later). Ok, done with financial matters, now onto the technical issue. This time, I decided to use the phone because outages wouldn't let me finish chats. I am transferred to someone with heavy Indian accent.

    It is about 11.30 pm, I have no Internet and I understand that I am dealing with lousiest tech support in the world that has no competence, training or just a common sense. I switch us back to the old modem for now. I am about to give up and switch to AT&T first thing in the morning, but my wife, equally enraged, wants to press on. So she dials the support number.

    At this point I raised my hand to smash the phone into the wall, but instead, I just hang up. Next, I continued troubleshooting and after a couple of modem and router reboots I got us back online albeit with outages. Computer, of course, had nothing to do with it and couldn't have, even in theory. The last conversation also got me wondering if these support guys in India actually wear two hats, one for support and another for sales? In any case, if previous agents were just incompetent, this guy truly deserved the title of King of Morons.

    The next day, I decided to give it the last try before going back to AT&T and connected to a chat from work (internet at home was unusable) . Surprisingly, this chat agent, after checking my case notes on file and reading my messages, said that she is going to dispatch a technician to my house because it is obvious to her that the modem, or router or computer had nothing to do with the issue I was having. She scheduled the appointment for me.

    Out of curiosity, I asked which modem is currently registered with Comcast. She replied “Your Zoom modem is registered as your own and connected to Comcast.” Then I asked her how come that agent from yesterday demanded that I register my modem by the phone call and guys in activation department tried to do it and failed, and then they tried convince me that it is their own modem and if not, I have to go to the local office to resolve the issue? She replied that unfortunately, she has no clue why previous two agents were giving me wrong directions and wrong info.

    So the tech appt is scheduled for the end of this week and guess what? My internet is up without a glitch for the last 24 hours on my new modem. So, my ordeal is over, hopefully. I can say to the world that of these 6 agents I worked with, only one from billing dept and last one in tech support were good. The rest four can be classified as incompetent and unprofessional idiots, liars, and a mix of type 1 and 2.

    Now tell me: if you were in my shoes, will you ever subscribe to any Comcast service? Would you be willing to talk to all of these who are unable to troubleshoot, but quickly blame customer equipment or provide false information and try to sell you more services instead of fixing broken one? I want to make sure that this story is available to as many people as possible. This may compensate me for wasted time, money and my blood pressure that shot up after communicating with this great Comcast support that is “always here for you, 24-7”.

    I have been a customer of Comcast Business Class for about 10 years. Currently I pay $125/month for service with static IP addresses. I have been extremely happy with the service up until about October 2013. The service became very slow from 20Mb/s down to 1Mb/s (upload was 5Mb/s to 0.2Mb/s). I am constantly resetting their cable modem to get a temporary fix. Comcast replaced the modem but the condition still persists. A call today to Comcast resulted in a sales pitch. They suggested that for another $15/month I could get 50Mb/s download and 10Mb/s upload. I just want what I used to get. It appears that they have oversold bandwidth and are rationing services, or they are purposely causing the problem in order to sell customers into higher priced plans.

    During the month of December, my BLAST internet service was reduced down to dismal performance metrics e.g., 3 to 9mbps according to your speed test. Initially I thought it was due to the holiday season with lots of internet access from people for holiday activities. Finally the service became unbearable, I called on Jan 8 for service. It took Comcast 4 days to determine that the speed issue was from the outside according to your techs. I called billing dept for a credit and the standard answer I received was "According to our policy we can only credit you since Jan 8 when you called in." It's unacceptable to me since the problem had been there before and the service was not up to par as I paid. If Comcast refused to own up its issue and acts responsibly to its customer like me. I don't need your token credit from Jan 8 to Jan 12. Otherwise, do the right thing, give me the credit for the low standard internet service I received throughout the month of December.
