    Wow! Where to start. Always trouble with internet on a daily, the automated system is horrible. I've had my email for year since 2007 and had AT&T and Dish since. They never took away my email till now that I cancelled my residential account. Now that want to tell me it's gone forever. Exact words. After I spoke to someone and they told me they can transfer to my business account since I cancelled my home and switch to business... I dislike Comcast. They are the worst!!! But being that they're the only one that services my area I'm stuck with these idiot that are also over freaking priced.

    The customer service rep was so rude and indifferent. I felt as though the 45 minutes I wasted on the phone being bullied and belittled was unforgivable. I have only been a customer for 2 months! THIS IS NOT RIGHT! I will never recommend this service and as soon as I can cancel and move to a different company I will be doing so.

    I pay $140 monthly for my internet so I have high expectations to have good internet at all times. The internet kept fluctuating and not working for a couple of days while technicians came every day, they did absolutely nothing yet when my bill came at the end of the month I was still charged $70 for their services. I depend on the internet with my job and so I was not able to complete my work because of this unprofessional, incompetent internet company. When I called about my bill they said "sorry, there's nothing we can do." So in conclusion, Comcast keeps you from completing your work, then charges you for their problem, and then still does nothing to help their customers. Horrible in every way.

    Unfortunately you have to choose a 1-5 star to rate. Realistically there should be negative stars specifically made for Comcast. It's humorous how horrible they are. If you love no internet, and horrible service, Comcast is just right for you! I'd say the company is comparable to the U.S government in the sense that lying, stealing, and most likely laughing about it is upheld as a virtue and probably plastered across their walls as their daily goals. On the bright side, the modem they supply you provides other uses. If you ever needed a hole in your wall, just wait until you try and use your internet or connecting with support, then take the modem, and huck it at the wall out of impending rage.

    When I hired the service, they charge me for the technician coming to install the service. When I moved, they send another technician to install the equipment. He came 5 hours late and did EVERYTHING wrong. I started having troubles with the phone line, then the internet connection and the TV. After 1000 calls to tech support and a lot of incompetence, they send another technician to fix the problem. It turned out that the problem was the first technician that made everything wrong. But the worst part is that they charge me for the second technician that came to fix the work of the first one. When I called to ask for my money back their answer was that I didn't hired an insurance to cover that. WHAT!!!! I have no idea, you have to buy and insurance to fix others mistakes. I had understood it was the opposite, isn't it.

    I called Comcast - 1-800-934-6489 on December 12-07-2015, I complained about excessive charges billed to my account every month including bogus late fees even when they claim I brought the account current, and bogus activation fees even when the account was never interrupted. Then I called back again to request a disconnect for the entire account. At this time, I was told I was going to be charged a early termination fee, which I don't have a contract with Comcast so I don't understand why I would be charged a fee to terminate. I just need to disconnect so additional fee wouldn't apply.

    So I proceeded to ask to whom was I speaking with and the representative refused to give me any information to identify herself only to say her name was Willet with no ID # claiming that it was against company policy to provide me with that number which I thought was weird because I was provided with the prior ID # number from the prior CSR which I spoke with earlier. After the back and forth with refusal to identify herself, I informed her that the call was being recorded. She was concerned and put me on hold for a long period of time. Then the call was disconnected. I'm very upset my entire work day was ruin and also my issue was never resolved, now the only thing I can expect is a billed with bogus outstanding charges to my account that will probably hit my credit in error. Please help this wrong.

    Service is a joke. Have tried to establish internet service. However, discovered Comcast did not acknowledge my payment, therefore flagging an unpaid balance. Prior service was 4 years ago, payment in full to collection agency 1 year ago but still unable to establish service. Phone conversations, emails, faxed documentation, voice messages to no avail in past 6 weeks.

    Today, devoted time to resolving. However, was disconnected 4 times, spent 1 hour on hold (placed on hold 10 times), spoke with 8 different employees, each time explaining my problem, providing my phone number, address, and last 4 of my social. Called 2 different numbers. A third I was given was wrong, a recorded message for Chevy cha-cha??? Unable to provide call back number to speak with same person again and was told I would need to discuss with the originator 'of the ticket' who wasn't working today and person I spoke with was going on vacation. Requested another fax of proof of payment and referred back to debt collector. Really? Monopolize the area and treat customers this way? I paid my debt a year ago, recovered financially and bought a new home, now cannot even get internet. Such a shame to be treated this way.

    Trying to get Comcast to service your home is an unfathomable hill unless you live in an extremely populated area where they know they can get instant service from a large amount of people. I have tried to have a site survey done to see if they could provide internet service in my location. I was told this should not take more than 2 weeks at the most. I called multiple times and each representative told me the same thing, "It should have been done by now" and then they would mention to wait a few more days before submitting to their supervisor and they would call me back with results.

    After a few days, no call. I called them back and get the response "I can't believe no ones updated you on this". And finally they submit a note to their supervisor and promise to call me back. I call them back and after over a month of waiting and getting the same answer from each rep I'm told there was a decision showing they cannot service because they are not the cable company in the area. They gave me the name of another unheard of company. I gave that company a call to find they have been bought out by another company who currently is not offering internet in the area and the company before never offered it in the first place. I have never heard of these other companies and Comcast is the only cable company everyone including 2 people on my street has.

    I called back Comcast again and told them this new info and of course they opened another ticket for me which means I will have to wait another month and call over and over to have no results again. Not to mention in between I called numerous times and each rep seemed to have different information, and one time I was told no ticket for me even existed. So I hung up, called back for another rep and they found it right away.

    My wife works at home for a major energy company as a call center operator. The company provides Comcast "business class" service so she can log calls, report outages, and perhaps most importantly alert fire and rescue personnel during natural gas leaks and electrical power line issues. The speed varies so widely and so randomly that the VPN connection to the company systems is lost many times each day. We have had their technical people out dozens of times without any improvement.

    I am a computer systems analyst and also work from home often. I have AT&T DSL and have patched her into my network. While the Comcast connection will *sometimes* test with much faster speed, it is just as often much slower than the DSL connection and certainly much less reliable. I'll take slow and reliable over fast and flaky any time. Since the Comcast connection is provided by the energy company, I am not able to share any specific information other than the issues we've had and the results we have had to implement to solve the problem.

    Internet service got discontinued two times in last 2 weeks. They say every time that no service at your account. Tell me some other new address where service got transferred. First time after spending hours on call and visiting store and producing rental agreement to show address proof they said it will never happen again. And again after 2 weeks same thing happen again. When I called they have no history of last occurrence. They are not bothered and again ask me call again to get service transferred to my actual address. I have never shifted to any address and placed any request of transfer of service. But Xfinity keep giving this trouble and do not even bother about customer pain.

    I was using AT&T 3Mbps internet earlier and never had any complaints, but as my new apartment has Comcast internet I went on with Comcast 6Mbps assuming I would get double the speed which is more than enough for me. But I noticed that I could not do Facetime, stream music or have fast browsing etc, then I did a speed test to realize that I was only getting a max speed of 1-2 Mbps and never more than that when I am paying for 6 Mbps. I called the customer care, and they tried trouble shooting and they said "You should get at least half the speed," and that's the max they can do. I was SHOCKED.

    They also mentioned that my package is 25 Mbps which was hard to believe, and they did something from their end to get 6 Mbps speed which was only for some time. When I checked the speed in the evening the story repeats, so I called them next day and they said they will send their technician to troubleshoot. Asked me to signup for their Service Plan, otherwise they may charge me for the technician visit. Technician came, checked the speed and went on call for 15 mins to come back and say that my package is 6 Mbps and so they can't guarantee more speed (1-2 Mbps) which was very disappointing. He says, "WiFi is like that. We can't do anything." Such a lame excuse from XFINITY. I thought I would try for few more weeks, but it is no better.

    I am very disappointed to waste the Installation charges ($49.99) and the modem cost ($140) which was again suggested by them. Stay away from Comcast XFINITY.

In addition to not having the service they had a line running across the front of my yard that was not buried and 2 kids tripped over it. They still did not send anyone out to fix that. With my bill I was charged for the installation fee of $350 upfront when it was supposed to be monthly. When I attempted to get that fixed they charged me an additional $350 plus the $58 monthly fee. I have called numerous times to fix it and when I show my frustration the call magically hangs up and nothing gets accomplished. I have spent over 10 total hours on the phone and have a bill for over $600 still. Do yourself and stay away they are frauds because I heard them same story from 3 different people.

    I initially signed up for internet only - 105 Mbps at a new customer rate of $39.99. That same evening I decided to add cable. After multiple calls with Customer Service I was finally quoted a double play package at a reduced rate. I called the day before my installation to confirm the channels I was suppose to get. After the guy hooked everything up and left I realized I wasn't getting all the channels so I called customer service. I spent over an hour on this call just to be sold a different package at a higher price. I was also told by the Supervisor that they are not responsible for what the consumer are sold/told by customer service and they wouldn't honor it.

    They pulled the calls but after the first call he was bored and offered me a $40.00 credit for 3 months but that would only be for the new upgraded package. I contact customer service again Monday morning and was made to feel like I was just creating my own price points. I've filed a claim with the BBB.

    Hello everyone. I have been a Comcast customer for the past 4 years. Comcast has great services but don't work good with its customers. I recently go divorced and had to take the service with me. I could no longer afford the services I previously had with them and I called them to see if they were able to help me. The representative told me he would help me get a deal to help. I ended up with a package that cost $40 more and at first I thought maybe it's the startup cost. So I finally got my new bill and that was the new price. So I call them and let them know. They told me there was nothing they could do. I'm stuck paying the new price and on top of that they gave me a new 2 year contract. So now to cancel, they want me to pay close to $1000.00 to leave their company.

    I have had nothing but trouble since I opened my account with them in July. I have had to call them multiple times to deal with NIL to non-Internet speeds (I pay for blast internet). Their excuse was my equipment wasn't working properly (I have my own cable modem and router). I had Netgear run a diagnostic check and my modem was running slow so I purchased a new one that was more than capable of handling our Internet speeds. Yet, the issue continued. In September the Internet was running very slow. Then completely stopped working. I called multiple times spoke to multiple representatives and was ultimately lied to.

    One representative said they'd compensate me cable and that she would dispatch a tech to meet me by 2:00 on Saturday. I waited all day. They were a no show. I call back and speak to another representative who informs me that they don't comp free cable and the prior rep hadn't put in a service order and the prior rep had also completely changed our plan! I finally get everything settled after multiple line exchanges (or so I thought). They finally decided that the Internet issue was with them and the new rep said she would send out a tech to hook up my new cable TV and check on the Internet (FREE OF CHARGE). A lady in billing also told me to call back once the tech had finished and my services were working so I could be compensated for the days I didn't had Internet.

    The tech shows up right at 8. He was friendly. He explained that the cable had been undone outside (not my fault at all). He also said that my modem and router were capable of handling the speeds I am suppose to be receiving (when I call and complain they blame my modem and router). He gets the Internet installed then asks where my cable TV box is. I told him I hadn't received one. He said it was no biggie he had one in the truck (the one they mailed came a few days later and after calling them they said I had to return it to a UPS store to ship back, another waste of my time). He gets everything hooked up and running, I'm a happy camper!

    I then call billing and explain my story (which is of epic proportion). She agrees to compensation not as much as I deserve for a month of slow and then no Internet, not to mention the hours of wasted time on the phone with them! She tells me my $35.00 compensation will occur on my following bill. So imagine my surprise when I open my bill for October and it's double what it normally is. Their excuse is they forgot to apply my $35.00 credit. They also charged me for an Internet install (I already had Internet when the tech came!!!) and to install my cable tv. I was told it would be FREE because it was their services that were messing up.

    The representative tells me she can't remove the $70.00 service charge because they have to investigate it and she also can't add two charge reduction for 1 billing cycle! So I have to pay $40.00 extra this month for Xfinity's **! I am sick and tired of having to call at least once a month about a problem! It also is absurd that they have no way of keeping track of who you've spoken with. They also have no way to call and speak to the same agent! If you want to overpay for craptastic speeds and the worst customer service ever, this is the company for you!!!

    AS the only high-speed internet provider in my area I am forced to do business with Comcast (DBA Xfinity). They are a complete nightmare to do business with. I had an installation performed on October the 21, 2015; They left the cable laying on top of my lawn, telling me it would be buried within a week. More than a month later I am still spending 30 minutes to an hour a week on hold with their customer service trying to get them to come bury the cable (a service I already paid for with the installation fee). Every time I call they give me a ticket number and tell me I will receive a call the next day to schedule the service. Each time I get a call telling me the cable will be buried in about 5 days as still the cable sits there.

    I am now getting nasty notes from my HOA about the cable so today I asked for a supervisor to speak with. I have been waiting on hold for more than half an hour now... Still no supervisor. In my experience this company has zero sense of pride or accountability. Every representative I have spoken to during the last month gives the impression that I am somehow at fault for their continuing failure to do what they have been paid to do.

    So I had Xfinity internet service only at my home. I was paying 49.95 per month plus 10.00 for equipment rental so a total of 59.95. One day my bill increased to 89.95 plus the 10.00 so I called in to cancel the service as I had other companies I could choose for half that price. I was told how "sorry" they were that I wished to cancel and wanted me to speak to a customer retention agent, so I agreed. I was told that while they could not lower JUST my internet, they could give me cable AND internet for 69.95, so basically the same thing but I would have cable as well. So I agreed...and this was where the nightmare began.

    They sent me a home install kit which I did and it never functioned. I was told after an hour of troubleshooting on the phone that the box appeared to be faulty so take it to the closest Comcast office and they would replace it. I did this. It too did not work. So finally they sent out a technician. He found an issue in the box outside that he rectified and the service now worked, HOWEVER he also told me I had an unnecessary booster amp on my service which he had removed so I should now have the best service I could get. He left. From that moment my internet did not work, it constantly lost signal. So they sent out a second tech two days later, who came in my home and said "Oh they are sending the wrong rate code to your modem, so I have had that rectified and it's good now".

    He left and it still did not work. So a third tech came out. This time he verified I had poor signal and but was unable to fix the issue. He said he believed maintenance would need to come and change out the cable from the house to the street which was then scheduled for the following wed. The automated call to make sure I was home happened at 2pm Wed to ensure I would be home from 3-5pm. I got home and waited. 5.30 came and no tech. I called and was told, "oh we have you scheduled for Friday". I asked then "why did your system call me to verify I was home?" He then told me "oh it looks like you were scheduled for Wed pm but we moved it to Friday". SO now I am waiting Friday and he comes out and changes the wire from the street to the house and...NO FIX.

    So A few days later the next tech comes out (now I have had 4 techs and 24 days of no service and I have had to take of 4 half days from work) so here we are another half day missed from work and a 5th tech. This guy doesn't even work from Comcast. He works for a local cable installer that they subcontract. He checks it all and then says "You Need an amp" (which I had prior to the original tech coming out to install cable). He added it and the issue was resolved. THEN I got my bill!!!

    So despite being told of the credits I would be getting for no service, failed technician calls and missed appointment it was not 79.95, it was $245.00!!! They charged me for the call outs. I called to complain and was told they were not going to credit me so I lost 2.5 days of work, 24 days of service and was charged a small fortune because of their own incompetence. I spent a combined total of 13 hrs and 47 mins on the phone with them (not included the first three calls I made which I didn't record the times on) but I estimate that brings it to 16 hrs or so...

    Salesman came to my house offering a better service, better price than my current provider. They said to test them for 30 days, money back guarantee. Service sucks, 75mbps never had more than 10mbps. On the second day, had no service in the morning. I disconnected the service a week later, and now they want me to pay a bill for $53.

    In July of 2015 I moved from Bellevue, WA to Mt Pleasant, TX. I turned in all of my Comcast equipment at the Comcast Service Center in Factoria, WA. I was badgered for nearly an hour about transferring my account to Texas even though Comcast doesn't provide service to my Texas address. Comcast continued to bill me for service, threatening to turn me over to collection if I didn't pay the July and August bill. They agreed that I had turned in the equipment but had not requested service termination.

    After several conversations with various customer service reps and being told that I would have to pay the late fee even though I didn't owe the bill, I gave up. I guess they came to their senses because they quit billing me. On October 25, I attempted to log into my email account and received an "ACCESS NOT AUTHORIZED" message. I called customer service and a very rude representative explained that 30 days after termination of service, all email service was terminated. He said that I should check the terms of service that I agreed to when I signed up for my email account (that was in 1995!). I explained that my business depended on that email and asked if I could at least get access long enough to transfer my contacts and my recent emails. I was told that all records had already been destroyed. That's difficult to believe since I had accessed my email the previous day.

    I requested to speak to a supervisor and was told that "it wouldn't do me any good". However I insisted and after a great deal of resistance, and 25 minutes on hold, someone who claimed to be a customer service supervisor answered and in very poor broken English, questioned me about my problem. She then stated that she needed to do further research and asked if she could call me back in just a few minutes. At my suggestion, not hers, she took my number, repeated it back and hung up. No call back was ever received.

    Ok, so I've had Xfinity/Comcast for almost a year now, and there has been so much trouble, I can't stand Comcast. So you are probably thinking of getting it from the commercials saying Xfinity is faster than a NASCAR pit stop. All the commercials got me hooked. I purchased the "X1" version, which has "double" the high speed internet than the normal one, and it's faster than Fios. They set it up, no hassle, only internet speed was the problem. I was supposed to be getting 5 bars and like 100mbps speed, but that turned out to be a lie immediately. My phone, computer, and Xbox were even slower than before I got it. My phone only gets 2 and 1 out of 3 wifi bars and it's a 5s brand new.

    Whenever I use my Xbox, It barely connects to Xbox Live, and when it does, it isn't very fast and will end up lagging me out anyways.... The broadband strength is very weak and you can't even have 2 computers on at once without slow trouble, nonetheless you can have a couple smartphones on it. My upload speed is now about 3-4 mbps and my download speed is 8, maybe even 10 mbps sometimes (According to speedtest.net). Even worse, my ping never dips below 100. I hate having to tell all my friends my internet speed and be the blame for "lag switching" the game with my internet. Hopefully, I may be switching to Fios soon, which ACTUALLY has good internet. So in conclusion, don't invest your time into these guys and go and get something that won't keep you behind.

    I signed up for a week pass for Xfinity wifi for 19.99. I live in center city Philadelphia (where Comcast headquarters is located). This wifi service isn't even half as fast as the 3g data on my phone. And monthly, it costs about as much as a high speed internet service. The connection constantly drops out and I'm less than a mile from the Comcast building. I guess I'm just going to go back to using my phone plan's 3g data for its superior speed and reliability. I'm not one to normally write internet reviews but I'd like to join in on the effort to pile on Comcast. The fact that a company can provide such terrible services and be so successful is appalling.

Not the latest and greatest, but more than sufficient to handle my upload and download requirements with computers, iPhones, iPads, and DirecTV. And we got it on Ebay for half of Amazon's price and free shipping because it was refurbished and without new packaging. The supplier included sensible 1-page instructions that said, first to call your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to recognize your modem ID. I did, got Laquetia right away! I almost had to wait!!!

    I have never experienced such bad customer service from a company. I moved to a new city wanted to get Internet Service. They talked me into getting Internet and Phone service as it was cheaper than getting the Internet alone. They told me someone could come out in a week and half. Pretty long time but ok. The technician Andrew came out and then told me they could not install as there was no line coming to the house. There is a concrete walkway in the backyard leading to the deck. So he said a contractor would have to come out and lay a line under the concrete. Then they could come out again.

    So days passed no word from them. I call they say "oh you are pending." We will have someone call you in 24hrs to make an appointment. She calls back later and says "oh you need a special permit to lay that line it will take two more weeks." I tell her I really need the Internet for job related reasons. Candice says "oh you can use Infinity wifi if you see it on your smart phone. I do so she sets me up with an ID and password."

    I get off the phone and try to connect. No luck. I then talk to Danielle who tries to help me connect. She has no luck so she sends me to a technician that has more knowledge than she does. She then passes me on to a hotspot expert. Well by now I can connect but it is only like 1 mbps. So basically you can do nothing with it. She says she can't help and sends me on to the next person. I say you aren't sending me back to the very beginning. Sure enough she does. As I am talking to this person and please realize I have to tell the whole story each time I talk to a new person. This person says you can't get wifi unless you have service set up. Grrr. All that time wasted with these people. As I am talking who is in my backyard but two Comcast guys to lay the line. What happened to needing a permit or two weeks?

    They say the technician doesn't know what he is talking about you have a line all along. They say they will make a note about it. Just as I am getting ready to call them the next day there is a knock on the door. Three guys from Comcast are there to bury the line. What line it was buried long ago with the previous owners. No communication between the different departments. I call to them about the developments and when can they come out and connect the service in the house. They tell me it will take two weeks. I say you should give me faster service after all this hassle and a discount on my first month of service. They said "oh we can't do that." I say let me talk to your supervisor. They say "oh the supervisor is not here they will call you back in two hours." Oh by the way some technician cancelled my account so I have to start all over with a second credit check. Unbelievable. No one calls back.

    I call after I did not get a call back sounds like I have called Mexico with all the Spanish speaking going on. I explain the whole situation again Danny says "Oh I have talked to the department and they will get you service tomorrow. They will call you around 10:30 am and be there by the end of the day at 6:30." I did talk to a supervisor then and he assured me as well that someone would come the next day. He said he could not give me a discount on my account because it is not active yet. I say why don't you give me a credit on the account. He says I have to talk to accounting. No one calls the next day or comes.

    I call to see what happened and they say "oh they can't tell you a specific time I am going to write them up." I am now talking to an office in the Philippines. She says they will still have to keep the appointment 2 weeks from now but will try to fit me in sometime before that. So basically I would be on call for two weeks. Next day I call. Wow. They set me up with the Internet at a reasonable rate. Plus they came out the very next day. They came and Ken did an excellent job. Service is working great. Stay away from Comcast if you can.

    Do NOT pay for services with Comcast/Xfinity. Upon signing on with Comcast, I was very optimistic. It wasn't until I had extra charges on my account that I changed my mind. I spent months getting the charges reversed. To top it off, my internet would just stop working on a monthly basis. One tech told me that there were just too many people in my area and there was nothing they could do about it. Another told me that I would have to spend time resetting the modem every month and hope that it would come back on.

    8 months later, they finally admitted to giving me faulty equipment, and although I had already been to the store and waited in line, the only way to get functional equipment without being charged would be to go back to the store (which is 30 min away) and exchange the equipment. Meanwhile, I am supposed to pay for services that I am unable to utilize. Oh, my other option was to go to Walmart and buy my own personal modem. Once again...

    We've had Comcast for about 2 months now. At the beginning, our cable internet service was extremely intermittent so we called Comcast to schedule a service visit. The tech came, ended up swapping out the FAULTY cable model for a new one, and told us we wouldn't be charged. Two weeks later we got a charge on our bill for $39.99 for the service visit. We've been disputing the charge for 5 days now and each supervisor we speak to says that the charge is valid. When we signed up for Comcast, we expected their service to work. It is an absurd business model to lie to customers about not charging them for a service visit and then charging them in the end. I'd go as far as saying this company is CRIMINAL. Why should customers have to pay to have faulty equipment swapped out? DO NOT SIGN UP FOR COMCAST EVEN IF IT IS THE CHEAPEST OPTION. You will be sorry if you do.

    For the entire time we have been forced to have Comcast - monopolies still exist in our area - we have experienced spectacularly atrocious customer service. Our phone line has been on and off for a year and a half now. Calling to make yet another appointment with yet another incompetent service technician (the phone center is in Manila) takes a minimum of 45 minutes each time, multiple waits, transfers, and often dropped calls. Comcast then usually misses the appointment. If the guy ever arrives he consistently says the past work on the phone line was shoddy, and he spends an hour to two hours not fixing the line. He then promises to call the next day or the day after to continue the work, but never calls back.

    The last guy actually left his tools here, called, and then came back for them the next day and tried to fix it again. Of course he couldn't, and again promised to call the following day. He did not. When the line again stopped working I spent another hour on the phone with Comcast, made an appointment for the next day, which they did not keep. When I called to complain I was told "they tried to reach you and couldn't." This is, frankly, impossible because I gave my cell phone number and that would have taken a phone message if I did not directly answer it. No message was left. In other words, the technician just lied.

    I cannot quite encapsulate the level of awfulness that Comcast "customer service" embodies. If we had any option for phone service and high speed internet we would long ago have switched to ANY other entity. Comcast makes the old Ma Bell seem caring, efficient and cost-effective. I have wasted dozens of hours on Comcast, and as of this very minute I still have a non-working LANDLINE, a technology that dates back to the 19th century. Wow.

    Last year I cancelled my cable TV service but continued with the internet service (since there is no other ISP in my area).Now, less than a year later, they've figured a new way to screw me - They just sent me a letter saying as of this month they are going to charge $10 per 50 GB of data I use over 300 GB per month. This is EXTORTIONATE!

    According to the new monitor they've installed, I already used 300 GB in the 1st week. So they offered me a way to avoid this $10 charge. I can pay them $30 a month more for unlimited data so now I'm paying $100 a month for just the internet. This is a 42% increase and I am at their mercy. I have filed a complaint with the FCC and I don't know what else to do. Aren't they violating some anti-trust laws? How is a monopoly allowed to operate? Why is this company still in business?

But could not watch on demand (which we are paying for) and we were unable to hook up our internet, because the modem we bought had been previously returned.

    We spent weeks working on a contract with the Denver-area Comcast to bundle our Internet and phone services. They told us that they had sent out trucks to survey our location, and that our site was serviceable. We were told this by multiple representatives - first by Amanda **, and then by Michael ** (both of whom work in the Denver corporate office in the Comcast Business Class - West Division).

    We spent hours working on the contract and determining which features we needed, and we took steps to cancel our current service providers. We signed the SOA, which specifically says, "This Agreement shall commence and become a legally binding agreement upon Customer's execution of the SOA." Soon after signing the SOA, Michael ** sent us an email saying only, "We have just received the site survey results back for your location. Unfortunately we cannot service your location at this time without considerable construction costs. I apologize we couldn't make it work this time."

    Our location is serviceable, regardless of associated costs. The fact that Comcast neglected to consider the construction costs before sending us the SOA is certainly not our fault. Why was a truck not sent out to determine the associated construction costs BEFORE our site was deemed serviceable and before we signed the SOA? Not only did Michael (and the other representatives) waste our time because Comcast neglected to check the validity of the site survey, but Michael had the audacity to inform us via a brief email. His customer service skills are atrocious.

    Michael ** refused to provide us with the number of a supervisor until we threatened to lodge a complaint against him if he didn't. He did finally provide the email of a supervisor, Janchessa **, and asked her to contact us regarding our complaint. Not only has this Janchessa failed to contact us, she has yet to respond to ANY of the emails we have sent her.

    So, not only did we waste valuable time forming a contract, but we have also endured appalling customer service from every representative we have tried to work with - Michael ** especially. The level of incompetence displayed by Comcast in the Denver area - from basic customer service to their ability to accurately interpret a simple site survey - is staggering.

    I called COMCAST to get a Double Play Bundle Special. The advertisement baits you by quoting $89.00 for a double play. My final price was $133 if I wanted internet speed that actually worked. I was then quoted $79.00 for the double play bundle before all of the extras but I had to sign a two year contract. I think that it is next to impossible to get cable/internet for the advertised $79.00. Each month my bill has increased. A year later my bill is $195.00!! Each month they increase a different item on the bill. Sometimes they will actually overcharge for the number of set-top boxes that you have. It is next to impossible to get any item changed. If you get one price adjusted, they will overcharge you on a different section of the bill.

    The customer service representative who you initially speak with will promise anything to get you to sign up, then Comcast states that the charges are not part of the actual contract therefore, they can change them. I was told recently by customer service that the $79.00 was a limited offer discount, but that was the price I was quoted to sign up not a limited time special. When I called Customer Service (in the Philippines), I am told by the supervisor Al, "We can always change the price whenever needed".

    I signed a two year contract with the understanding that I was guaranteed the same price for two years. I might as well be speaking with a robot or a computer as someone in a call center who has no ability to assist me. If you are quoted one price to get you to signed the contract and you are charged another price- I believe it is called BAIT AND SWITCH which is a deceptive advertising practice, fraud, and it is a violation of consumer law. Comcast makes being a customer a painful, agonizing experience.

    My service goes out every week. I work from home and this is causing a major issue for me. As usual I called Comcast today (10/5/15) about my internet outage. I was advised by the customer service agent that there was a outage in my area. I asked if that information can be sent to me through email. I was told "NO". Then I asked to speak with a manager. After being on hold for over a hour, I finally was able to speak with a manager. I explained my concerns and that I need this outage information for my employer, because this has been a ongoing issue and I need to provide an explanation to my employer.

    The manager put me on several holds and also advised me that she was not able to send me the needed information and that there was no outage in my area. During this whole time I still had no internet and neither issue was resolved. As I continued to explain the importance of my service and why I needed some type of documentation of the service outage the manager ID# ** disconnected the call. Immediately, after the manager hung up on me.

    I received 2 text messages from Comcast. The first one: "The service outage in your neighborhood has been restored. Check your connection status anytime by logging in to https://customer.xfinity.com/m/commection/." Then a second message: "Your monthly bill is available to view online. Visit www.xfinity.com/myaccount to view and pay your bill. Reply STOP to stop text from Comcast Alerts (SM)." WOW WOW WOW. I cannot get any internet service, I cannot get customer service assistance, but now my bill is due and oh they have increased my bill $10. Comcast has done a great job of making me feel helpless and lost for words! U-verse has a $150 installation fee, but at this point I really have no choice. SMH... Something has to give...

    I am writing about Comcast for unfair business practices due to the fact that when I moved into my house in April of 2003 I had AT&T service but as time progresses AT&T said they no more cover my area where my house is situated and that I had to go with Comcast. So I started my service with Comcast and when they started going up every time I opened my bill, I decided to try to go with the competitor AT&T because their charges is cheaper.

    But to my amazement they told me that only Comcast cover my area and my Comcast bill for a basic phone service for my alarm system and internet service has suddenly gone up to $133.75 a month which is almost double of what AT&T would have been charging me. But they said there is nothing that could be done. I was so disappointed that this kind of practice can happen in an open market economy like America, but I'm subjected to my faith of continuing to pay the unfair exorbitant bills because there's nothing I can do.

I told them that I paid for my computer to be set up & I was not a tech, they should come out to switch out the modem. Comcast said they would charge me & so I refuse to have anything done.

Comcast Rep say okay but would charge me only $20.00 for the installation but the Tech Visit. above my normal bill. I agreed & we set up an appointment for Saturday 9/16/15 from 8-10 am.

    Similar to other reviews on this site, Comcast Xfinity offered my husband a great introductory price for one year of internet service. Yet, they never charged that price. The first month, they overcharged more than double. When he complained about the overcharge and mentioned the introductory offer, they said "that's only for new customers." He explained he was a new customer and they said since he had an account, he wasn't. He argued and got the rep to agree to adjust the price.

    Repeat the above for the next FOUR months. Every single month a different "customer service" rep said they would adjust the charge and the plan on record but they never did. On top of that there is no way to email the company. In fact one customer service rep said they are not allowed to email customers. I guess they don't want to leave a paper trail... all conversations over the phone leaves deniability over what was said. I am convinced that this is their business model. Quote one price and then charge another until the customer gives up and pays it or goes elsewhere (which is not an option for some areas of the country). I would leave NEGATIVE stars if I could.

After doing this THREE times in a row, I am changing my cell phone service and avoided them for wireless internet service for my new address. That brings me to Comcast's XFINITY. I happily called them, and after waiting a week (due to technician availability), I scheduled an appointment for the tech to visit my apartment and set up the cable, internet, and relevant equipment. Well, after barely 24 hrs., I'm back at STARBUCKS writing this review.

    About 3 weeks ago I switched my basic internet service with Comcast to a Bundle since it was actually cheaper at the time. $59.99 for Performance Internet (50Mbps)/HBO/Basic Cable for 12 months. I confirmed multiple times over the phone with the agent and thought everything was good. Today I called in to check on my current balance since the online system does not update for several weeks (apparently once a billing cycle). I was shocked when my balance was over a $100. The agent told me she did not know of any such package at the price point I was promised, but my account did show full pricing for the internet, some "HD Tech" add-on I didn't ask for, and the cable.

    So they were able to pile on all the services but not successfully bill me the right amount. Go figure. Fortunately, I called in and after some difficulty was able to get most of the charges removed (we will see, I have been promised things from Comcast before). I switched back to my prior internet-only service with them. Why doesn't Comcast email a receipt for the service change? Are they afraid that something in print could be damaging to their image? They keep everything secret on their end - you have to call in constantly to make sure things are being handled properly, otherwise things just magically slip up. It's an antiquated system from an antiquated company. I just hope the near-future will offer some alternatives for ISPs (Comcast has a monopoly in my area).

    I am sadly upset with lie after lie from Customer Services Agents and Supervisors. On September 20, I spoke with a female agent, who offered me a package of internet service plus Latino TV for $ 34.99 (no signed contract), and she stated that this amount will be kept for 24 months. I was driving and could not finish my deal with that female agent.

    On September 21, about 1:00 PM, I spoke with a male agent, who again offered me a 24 months no contract 3 GB internet service plus 119 Latino TV, plus many English Channels, including all Nickelodeon, all Disney Channels, Food Network and GSN (Games Show Network) Channel plus 2 HD boxes for $ 34.99 with an special technician, who will come to my house to install everything for extra $ 5.00 dollars. The male agent scheduled me for a technician visit for September 23, and said that the technician will bring the 2 HD boxes, and then he complimented: "on September 22, you will receive a phone call from the technician to inform you what time on September 23 he or she will be there."

    Last night (September 22) after no phone call received from the technician, I called Comcast Customer Service, and spoke with a Supervisor, who apologized about the 2 agents lies, since Comcast has not 24 months agreement with no one. Also, he informed me that no appointment was made, no 2 HD boxes were added, no special channels; but he said that he will be add the extra box (since the liar male (and female too) agents offered 2 HD boxes), and also he made the appointment for today September 23, between 1:00 to 3:00 PM.

    Today at 2:45 PM, I called Comcast Customer Service, and a female agent said, that the technician will be in my home about 3:20 PM. I called again at 4 PM, and spoke with an agent named Luis, who asked for my phone number since his supervisor will call me immediately. It is 5:00 PM, and no technician showed up, no agents and/or supervisors answer my phone calls, and I am in the limbo, since I disconnected my Dish TV service, expecting to have Comcast TV Service at 3:00 PM.

    It is very suspicious, that 2 agents, in two different occasions in two different days offered me a 24 months package, if Comcast never had that kind of agreement. I believe that those two poor liars agents, among others, had been trained by Comcast's Supervisor to sell those kind of lies to clients. And now, no technician, no agent, no supervisor, no Comcast TV, no Dish TV, and nobody is responsible for inefficiencies/ineptitudes /inadequacies within the soul of Comcast.

    Finally Comcast technician came at 6 PM, disconnected my internet services, used all previous Dish TV cables, asked me to move and remove furniture from 2 bedrooms and clothes from a closet, unrolled white and black co-axial cables inside and outside of the house, and suddenly I saw him packing his tools, without saying a word. When he was in his truck, I asked him: "Are you leaving and have not internet and not TV?" He got out of his car, and connected my internet, and then said: "Tomorrow, I will be back or a new technician for TV purposes", and left, leaving on the floor, bunches of connected cables to TV.

    Comcast agents and supervisors, just "apologized again, as usual", and nothing was resolved. Next day, September 24, no one from Comcast appeared, called, and no TV and one's responsibility. I am elevating my voice protesting with this Comcast's disorganizations and bundle of poor thing liars agents and (and do not know what to say about the Supervisors, who supposedly to be the example for those low IQ liars agents), and incompetent unrespectable, unconscious technicians (but to expect of this miserable company?)

    I have been leaving resumes/filling out applications daily where I could find employment. It's been over 5 months already, stressful - but trying to keep a positive outlook. Suddenly my e-mail thru Comcast stops working. I start off following directions to "get new password". The entire online system takes me thru "loops" back to the beginning 3 times, frustrating. So I have to phone them, the answering system, places me in 2 different loops on two different subject matters due to the fact I was trying to get the correct department. When I finally get the correct department, and I explain to the technician what happened concerning the phone loops. He goes into of an explanation of "how the phone system works..." (but it doesn't work that way, maybe as a customer they should try it, so they can find out what the customer is dealing with).

    I continue my contact Comcast; the technician stated, they disconnected my e-mail due to me not having service. But I did have service and it was in good standing. I had no warning, all my resume/job connections via my e-mail were gone. I entered slight panic mode, I felt I was violated. Something that was mine, taken. I do pay for service monthly phone and internet to Comcast for a few years now. They said it would take 3-7 days to fix. The technician stated very emphatically "it was the customers fault it happened." "Excuse me? How is that?" "Well the last person who had that e-mail address canceled the account." "No, he got married to me, moved in, and I had Comcast/Xfinity, what is the problem." "See I told you, it was customer's fault."

    So we have been using this e-mail address on nearly everything we had for over 2 years. They disconnected it with no notice, no empathetic apology, just pointing at us. So all I could do was wait. 3 days later I call again (same loop with the phone system). This time the salesperson said, he didn't see an explanation of any previous phone calls on my account. When I then explained to him what happened, he very calmly said (without any typing) "Oh, they are working on resolving the issue." I hesitated and asked, "how can you say they are resolving it, when you just said you didn't see anything on my account?" Slight sarcasm, "Well ma'am, I see it now," then a firmer comment as he was frustrated with me, "They are resolving the issue."

    At this point I had my doubts, so I asked, "do they have a solution in which they are working on? Or will I get this same comment 6 months from now? Working on it could take 6 months?" "Ma'am, they are working on a resolution, that's all I can say." Once again with sarcasm. Disregardful of a human being on the other side of an e-mail address (despite the fact I was a paying customer). Loops online. Loops on answering system. Accusatory to a customer, not really best practice for a loyal paying customer. They actually went up $15 on my bill for the next months service (not due to late fees etc), just went up.

    When looking for a job, all need e-mail accounts and passwords on job sites, and many on applications which need to be verified/confirmed thru the e-mail account. This put my job searching to a halt, and if anyone contacted me thru e-mail for a job will probably figure I blew them off. Thank you Comcast. While I was updating passwords etc, and feeling the same frustrations speaking with operators and different places of business, none of them made me feel as insignificant as Comcast. Some were quite pleasant and gave me a hope for humanity again. I contacted other internet providers. Oh so many. They are none which service in my area, other than Xfinity.

They did not call to say that they were coming and much less what they would do. So we have two cables in the back yard, one hanging and other loose on the ground and we have called them many times and the work never got done!

    I have been contacted by someone from their executive support dept. after talking with them, all that was able to be resolved was 50.00 credit and an offer to replace the modem / gateway to an older model and I would have to get my own router.

    This is basically all that can be done. Comcast does not consider this a real problem worth their time and expense.

    Original Review: Sept. 19, 2015

    I just checked and of course, the Wi-Fi has been enabled again, just as I thought Comcast is purposely enabling the WIFI Hotspot after I log out of my account. I know this because I use a app called Wi-Fi Analyzer and it shows a Xfinity Wi-Fi hotspot broadcasting signal. The ID numbers are almost identical to mine (only the 2nd number is different - EX: Mine is E8 / Xfinity WIFI Hotspot is E6) to prove that it is my gateway broadcasting the signal, I unplugged the gateway and yes both signals disappeared and reappeared when I plugged it back in. This is clear proof that Comcast is purposely lying to me and all it's customers - letting them think they can shut down the Free WIFI Hotspot, knowing that it will be automatically turned on when they log out of their accounts.

    It's bad enough that I pay a high bill for my Internet, plus the fact that Comcast charges me a Gateway Rental Fee and you lie to your customers about this. I guess Comcast doesn't care that they leave their customers open to Hackers and ID thieves. Of course, they will claim it's totally safe, but any decent hacker can get around the firmware & software and hack a router/gateway. Nothing is fool proof.

During that hour, with this connection, I was able to stream the NFL game and while not perfect... minor buffering issues, it provided that level of bandwidth. As soon as I purchased the service it became terrible. Literally just surfing the web was so painfully slow that it wasn't even functional. I can't stream an internet radio station because it holds a continuous "buffering" screen. I believe that this is the classic "Bait and switch"

    I just moved into my new home and contacted Comcast for internet and TV. Outdated equipment was delivered via mail - no install offered. Needed to hire video/audio tech at my expense. Buzz (very fast internet service) 0 - none existence. Internet is most of the time down. Spent about 3-4 hours with Comcast every day to fix problem. Special offer of $49 a month turned into a premium account for $99 a month with monthly billing of $249.00 for no service! Executive team all by the name Brianna, Rianna, Kesha., sounds familiar (I think they watch too much music videos), apologize bla bla bla bla but don't accomplish anything.

    They promise 100 m download for their blast service. My computer NEVER got over 72 and during peak hours it dwindled down to 15 m on the speed test. They had 101 excuses for this including blaming my laptop. No credit given for service I was not getting. They do a transfer of service and move my billing cycle 2 weeks earlier. This caused a $100.00 discrepancy in my normal monthly bill. Tried to explain what happened but they cannot do simple math and justified my bill as accurate even though I was getting ripped off for 2 weeks of service for them changing the billing cycle and them charging a month in advance. FIOS is not in my area but wish it was. My mother has FIOS and it is 100X better than Comcast with 100X better customer service. Don't be another Comcast victim, get FIOS if all possible.

    We recently terminated our contract with AT&T because their offered internet speeds were just too slow for as many devices as we had, with at least one person in the house always watching Netflix most of the day, and two gamers in the house. Comcast is currently the only high-speed bandwidth provider in my area, with Google Fiber soon on the horizon. So I signed up for the 25 mb/s speeds to start with. There was no term contract, which was good, because as soon as Google Fiber rolled through my area I was going to drop Comcast in a heartbeat and switch over.

    About three months in, I've had zero issues so far. I received a call from a Comcast rep telling me about this great new deal they had. 75Mb/s download speeds for only 20$ more per month. Sounded great, still no contract, so I agreed. I was actually getting well over these speeds by using my own equipment (A router and modem that I had purchased), so I was fairly satisfied. Until yesterday. I received an email from Comcast telling me I had reached 90% of my 300gb/s bandwidth limit, and it was only the 13th. I have never received this mail before, so I went to the website to check. It actually took a good while to find the usage meter hidden away off to the side of the screen, and not on a page that you would expect it. Something like this you would think would be right on the front page of the My Xfinity page, or in at least the overview.

    What angers me is at no point did the rep mention this to me over the phone. It was not in my plan before, as we've binged watched countless hours of Netflix shows. And now, all of their plans have changed suddenly, all but the 300$ a month internet packages have this nonsensical data cap, I found when going to downgrade to my previous internet speeds. And the 'Unlimited data option' that they mention in the FAQ? Not available for my area. There was no warning that they would be imposing this cap, the customer service rep on the phone seemed to have glossed over it, and no reasonable way to get around it. I am highly dissatisfied with my services, and their sneaky hidden agreements and charges. I wouldn't even recommend Xfinity to my worst enemies.

    I called on 9/1 to set up service and they told me they needed to call me back. Never did. I called them on 9/4 and they gave me an address to go to a Comcast center to set up my account. I followed the address To Plymouth MI but the address was invalid and took me to an abandoned building. I called customer service and they said they would return my call with the correct address. Never called. I waited for their call but called them back a few days later and they sent me to another store in Dearborn MI on 9/10. This office actually existed. I went in and set up the account and was given a certain modem to buy at Best Buy. I went and bought the "zoom" modem they suggested. After waiting on the phone for over 2 hours I was finally directed to someone in the Philippines who hardly speaks English but told me that the modem I had bought was incorrect.

    I went and bought another modem they suggested and that one was Comcast approved. She gave me a callback number to call her when, in her words, "the light no more flashy". The light continued to be "flashy" and when I called the direct line number she gave me back it was disconnected. I eventually was able to reach someone who spoke English to schedule an appointment for a technician to come out to my house. But because they were Philippines they tried to schedule an appointment for me on my yesterday. But after helping them understand that I don't live in their time zone she scheduled an appointment for 9/12 between 2:30 & 4:30. The technician never showed. After spending an hour waiting for customer service to pick up the employee didn't apologize for any inconvenience but rather let me know that I will be charged for the past two weeks of not having internet even though I have had no service in the slightest.

    He let me know that the only time someone is available to come out and turn on my internet service I've been paying for is next week. Even with this review their website has refreshed causing me to rewrite my complaint. I've lost a good 20 hours of my life working with Comcast. I will be pulling my services tonight unless they give me a a credited 2 weeks of my life back... if I can even get through to anyone. I have had service with multiple other companies over the years and they have all give me access to Internet within 3-4 days TOP. Never 2 weeks with an insane amount of follow up on my end.

    Where do I begin... (they deserve 0 stars) Here's my story: I placed my order and was told I'd receive it by Sept 3rd. That didn't happen, I contacted online chat to find that my order was cancelled. Why? Nobody knows. My inquiry was escalated to a new person who said she was looking into it and then closed the session without speaking to me. I called the customer service number (laughable) to see what was going on. I was sent to 3 people after the usual 30 min wait on hold... Nobody knew why my order was cancelled so it was reordered for a Saturday delivery 9/5.

    On Friday, I get a call from this "phone number" 261-450 and left a message that my account needs to be validated. But she didn't say what company she was from, I had no way to redial the number as it doesn't exist. She didn't leave her name either. I only knew who it was because I recognized her voice. Once again I called... And waited... I spoke to a rep who told me that Saturday delivery was not possible and that she gave me wrong info. He set it up for rush delivery (Labor Day weekend) but I wouldn't get it until Tuesday.

    Tuesday came and no order, I called. My stuff was supposed to arrive Wed but they couldn't tell me for sure. Ugh!!! Wed came and finally so did my stuff. After setting up my equipment and it didn't work - what a shock right? - I had to find a number to call because their instructions to "activate" the account only include a web address (ummmm I'm setting up my internet right?) If I don't have an android or an iPhone, I simply cannot activate my account. Sooooooo I went online - (yes whew I have an iPhone) to find a phone number which I did. Mind you this is the number specifically for activating the account.

    After validating who I was, the only option I was directed to was this - "your account balance is zero.. To set up payment, please press 1"... Omg I wasn't asking for my balance! I hung up and tried again. Same thing. This time I kept pressing zero in the hopes of getting an operator. After allllll of that, I'm told that I need to call back during normal business hours. So I found a new number to call the next day... The extremely under enthused rep was walking me thru install and said... Hold on please... He send me to tech support with no warning. The tech rep is trying to find out why my internet was not online. Then he asks the magical question, "Did anyone come to your home to set up the service to your apartment?" Grrrrrrr no!!

    They were supposed to set that up the day that my order was placed. They tried to set me up for an appointment 8 days later. I said absolutely not. I am not willing to wait. I explained that after all of these phone calls and errors and waiting, if someone wasn't there that day, my account is closing. What next? They put me through to retention.

    This supervisor promised a call back within 1/2 hour. I did get a call about 2 hours later saying that someone would be at my home on the 11th and I didn't have to be home. On the eve of the 11th, I called again. Surely there was a tech here that did the job and simply didn't notify me. I attempted to set up the equipment. Nope! Not working. This rep told me that he would find out what happened and call me back. Did he call me? Nope.

    So I called someone else to cancel my order. An extremely condescending person named Mark told me that he would speak to me if I was so angry. Really? I enlightened him with reasoning. Especially that I told him that I wasn't directing my frustration at him. Moving on, he apologized about the service and said that he's never seen a rush service not be completed as it was escalated to urgent status. He said that it would be completed today the 12th. And I would hear back by 10 am.

    By 12:30 I called customer service AGAIN! After reviewing my entire situation yet again, the rep told me she would get a manager to call me back as I told her that I must have someone call me immediately. 2 hours later, I missed her call from another non existing number. She told me to call her back at her number. I called. This was the message "you've reached this number at non business hours, please call back". Needless to say, I haven't heard from her. I called customer service yet again. I demanded my account be closed. Mind you that they won't tell you that they tell you that they'll see what they can do and promise a call back that doesn't come. This new rep told me that I'm scheduled for service on the 19th! I adamantly refused and demanded a manager. After waiting 10 minutes, she came back on to tell me that she'll connect me to a manager now... NO. I was sent back to customer service.

    My blood was boiling. In the meantime, I received a call from my buddy Mark. You know, the one who told me that I would get a call by 10 am and that today work would be done. He now told me that I'm set up for the 19th. Needless to say I was furious!!! He was excruciatingly rude, condescending... And he hung up on me. I returned my stuff to the store. I was told it would be a 60 minute wait. I said absolutely not and demanded a manager. "Pam" came over and told me that I can leave my stuff there but no receipt. I said there's no way that I'm leaving my stuff with no receipt. She told me that she can't give me one. I was calling the police. Which I would never do normally ever but this was just insanity and waiting another hour was not happening. A very rude rep came over and to me basically "too bad, if you don't want to wait, return it to UPS".

    I headed right over to XFINITY and returned my stuff. I put my foot down and to Pam the supervisor that I'm not leaving without a receipt for my returned equipment which she refused to give me twice. I told her that I'm calling the police (which I'm not the type to do but this was all just too much). Finally, she agreed and gave me a receipt. Ps- the 4 people that came in after me were just as angry as I was. They also had serious complaints and zero tolerance when they were all told to wait an hour. What are the odds that in a 10 minute span, of the 5 customers that came in, all of us were furious at the non service received. Stay away from XFINITY / Comcast! Terrible terrible terrible!

    Every time you call Comcast you have to suffer through minutes of pushing buttons, no one is ever available with whom to speak. You get run through the mill with advertisements and requests to spend even more than you are currently charging for monthly services. When you get someone on the telephone most staff is out of country and frequently cannot communicate unless they read pages of information printed in front of them. Frequently, you are transferred to a second individual and often the phone connection is disconnected. Thus, one has to start all over with listening to the worse automated information doing nothing but constantly aggravating you. I believe it is your subconscious goal to aggravate all of your customers since you have such a monopoly. Any other corporation has to be better than you. Scale of 1 to 10, you rank with everyone who has you in a minus category lower than one.

I tried to cancel service and they phone tagged me around for another FOUR hours. Do they think this time isn't valuable to us? I harassed AT&T until they finally agreed to put a line down our street. I gave up on trying to reach someone on the phone and took my router in and had my service disconnected. The guy at the store said my router, that was given to me by Comcast only a year ago, was super outdated and my internet was going at about half the speed. He said I should have been sent a different one two years ago. He also said my plan was grossly overpriced and they had newer, cheaper plans. WAY TO NAIL THAT COFFIN SHUT.

Their consistency that our promotion ran out without a reminder is not a good business practice. I am emailing the CEO of Comcast and I demand to be treated fairly. They should have no right to adjust anyone's bill without notifying the customer.

    We went from paying $57 a month to $130-140 and then their explanation program expired, but no restitution for the 3 times reps have came out to figure out why our speed is so low and constantly buffers. The rep. then said "you have the fastest internet we have." What A JOKE! It buffers to load a video.

    It is really so disheartening to know that your company can get away with this type of service and not have to have any accountability. I am expecting that you pull every last one of the calls that I have made today to hear each and every conversation with the 8 various people that we spoke with. How would you feel if you were sitting in a house that was 92 degrees? I found out a very good lesson today: You do not value me, a customer.

    Make sure to listen to the call with your agent, Chris, that took place at approximately 8:39. He is a winner. He didn't care about my issue at all. Thanks for being such a bad company with the most awful customer service that I have ever encountered. Take note to let everyone that I spoke with know about the 3/15 rule -- If a person receives great customer service they will tell 3 people. If the service is bad they tell 15. I will be telling way more than 15. This complaint will be posted on Facebook, Twitter, and any complaint website that I can find. You have treated me like a used, worn-out rag that has been thrown to the side. Shame on you.

    I made an appointment yesterday with Comcast because my thermostat which was installed by Comcast stopped working yesterday, After getting a low battery light I proceeded to change the batteries. After doing so the thermostat would not light up. I called Comcast yesterday and after going through their troubleshooting the representative told me that she had scheduled an appointment with Comcast for 09/08/2015 and that they would be at my home between the hours of 9-11 a.m. My husband stayed home for the day after canceling all of his appointments. He is an accountant.

    At 8:30 a.m. a Comcast technician comes to my home and drops off a thermostat stating that an electrician would be by my home within the hour. At 1:00 p.m. my husband calls to inform me that the electrician never showed up and he had contacted Comcast who informed him that the call was noted as being resolved. He informed them that not only was it not resolved by on the hottest day of the year -- our home was a hot 91 degrees. He spoke with a woman by the name of Ashley. After speaking with my husband I too called Comcast and spoke with a gentleman by the name of Jonathan. I explained to him that my husband had been on the line with Ashley who stated that she had call a dispatch ticket in and stated that we should hear from someone within the hour. This was at 1:00 p.m. Since my husband had previously called Jonathan stated that we would hear from Comcast by 1:22 p.m. Of course that time came and went.

    I called Comcast back at 2:15 p.m. to advise that no one from Dispatch had contacted us. This time I spoke with Chris who stated that he was showing in his system that we were contacted and a electrician was en route to our home. Chris indicated again that Dispatch had advised us that they would be at our home. This was a flat out lie. No one from Comcast ever contacted our home. I called my husband to see if the electrician had arrived and he indicated he had not. I called Comcast yet again. By this time our home was a very hot 92 degrees. Side note: When the central air is controlled by a thermostat you have no cooling options. I spoke with a fourth person named Wally and demanded to speak with a supervisor because this was not acceptable. They stated they would be at my home to check on my thermostat.

    Between the hours of 9-11 a technician drops off a thermostat and advises that the electrician will be at my home within the hour of his drop-off time which was 8:30 a.m. So at the latest the electrician should have been here at 10:00 a.m. It is now 8:03 p.m. We are still waiting on an electrician after being told at 6:15 by a supervisor named Bree that someone would be here. Why is it that we can call Comcast 6 times, get six different answers, and still be in a home with no air and a room temperature of 92 degrees? When did it become ok to falsify documents and state that you would be fulfilling an obligation and then not have to do it? Oh and then the kicker, we are told that we do not have an appointment for today -- it is tomorrow.

    If all phone call documentation is pulled you will find in each call to Comcast we received different information. Not only did we receive different information but on the last call with Bree we were promised that an electrician would be at our home. Hmmmm, do you really think that someone will be at my home with the room temperature of 92 degrees at 8:06 p.m.? Please note that this is my formal complaint against this monopoly who obviously feels like my time is not of any importance. Not one phone call from them but trust me you will see that I phoned them 6 times. Really, what am I getting for my 375.00 plus dollars per month? What, you ask -- sub-par service that they should be ashamed of.

    This is the worst company in the entire world. How can they get away with lying to me for an entire day and still not showing up to install a thermostat that they dropped off at my home at 8:30 this morning? This is not the first time that they have failed to deliver. Tell them to pull all call logs from the numerous times we have called since January of this year. Shame on you Comcast. You are greedy and obviously not a company interested in customer satisfaction. While it is 8:50 p.m. called Comcast for an ETA on when the electrician would be here tonight and we were just told that the electrician would not be at our home as someone has closed the ticket out.

    Really, FCC, in what world is it ok to just close out an escalated ticket and not notify a customer that has been waiting all day for an electrician that was promised by Bree. She assured us that someone would be at our home tonight and now we are being told that it will not happen and we will have to stay in a house with our pet and children that is 92 degrees. I hope that you really take action against this company. If you can not resolve my issue this information will be posted on all complaint boards so that others know that no one really cares.

    So I was without internet for 4 days before I was able to finally schedule a service call (they said there was a general outage in my area and once that was fixed my internet service would be restored as well. It was not hence the need for a service call). I scheduled to take time off work so I could be home for the technician. After waiting 2 hours he never showed up. I called Comcast and they said my appt. was cancelled. They never notified me it was cancelled. I was very mad. They said they would send a guy out to check the pole and verify service was available. This would occur between 8am and 8pm the next day. If there were any questions they would call me. Well I had taken the day off so I thought maybe there was a chance it would get fixed. Around 6 that night I call and say that I'm still without internet service. They told me they cancelled the pole guy.

    Huh. Why? "Oh you have a problem with your router and need a new one since we cannot contact it". This state of affairs had been verified several times already which I believe was the reason for the pole guy to begin with. So I go to the Comcast store and return my "defective" cable box. While I'm there I get a text saying I can save myself 10 a month by buying a cable box. So I run over to a chain and grab a router and register MAC address with Comcast. Still no internet. Call Comcast again. "Oh you will need a technician. Let's schedule you an appt." Well there were no slots available over the weekend so I schedule to take time off work again.

    I'm at home cleaning the carpet. I noticed a call. It is Comcast telling me the technician showed up but no one was home. Yes Comcast there were people there. So I get on the phone and demand they send him back. Twice they say they will call me back with an ETA. Both times they fail to call me back. I finally get a supervisor and he tells me they only work between 8 and 6 on weekdays. Well I'm not about to take more time off. So I schedule for the coming weekend. We will see if they show up, can fix the problem or if this is dragged out for a few more weeks.

    What strikes me about this encounter with Comcast is their 1st level employees are all reading from scripts. They just keep spouting the various scripts until you give up or do what they want. It really is like talking to machine that is responding to keywords to determine the script they will read from. When I compare this process to T-mobile's 1st level help, who I was talking with during the same time period since I needed to buy more data from them until Comcast fixed my internet service, it is just night and day. The T-mobile reps took action instead of trying to delay the need to make a commitment.

    The other thing that stood out about Comcast is just how unconcerned they are about customers. They canceled a schedule appt. without contacting me and then after I went ballistic they offered me $15. Which I think is what they owed me for the number of days at that point I was without internet service. They did not care that I lost a total of 5 hours of work time (two 2 hour appointments and needing to leave 30 minute early for each appt.) and they repeatedly ignored my request for compensation for the lost work time. If they had shown up I'd be OK with taking time off. But they just blew me off and that shows a real lack of respect towards their customers. My goal now is to find an alternative service. And convince everyone I know how much better that alternative is to Comcast.

    We have been X-finity Comcast customers for the last 10 years. We have a good package and average monthly bill $250 to $300. We have not had to deal with customer service the last 10 years. I have seen some bad reviews for company but not experienced it myself until now. The last two months we received a $650 and $860 bill. The data usage they are billing us is enormous. We have a Meraki wireless access point that tracks data usage and device usage. The discrepancy is enormous. The amount of data they are billing us for is 3000GB per month. We travel almost every weekend with kids sports and kids are in school during weekdays. I use internet below average and no streaming.

    My husband has called customer service 8-times in the last 6 weeks. The case has been open 6 weeks and they have not contacted us once. No phone call or email stating they are working on resolution or providing insight on usage. NOTHING! We just got text stating we are 110% over usage and only 7-days into cycle. We have only been home 4 days of the last 7. We decided last week to cancel service but even that is impossible. They transfer you or hang up on you. Not one person can answer your questions. The customer service department truly cannot help you. This is very bad customer service and not acceptable for a company that you pay thousands of dollars.

    I am a business owner and strive very hard to get back positive reviews. However, this company here in Florida should not even be allowed to operate. My experience has been a fraction of what others have encountered but I cannot in good conscience keep silent. I hate calling customer service to be hung up on or be kept on hold for 20 mins. Unreal!!! What is so difficult? Send out your technician!!! Just Horrible!!! They don't deserve even 1 star!!!

    I was a previous customer of Comcast about 5-6 years ago. In May of 2015 I contacted Comcast to inquire about internet service. I spoke via chat to a salesperson to get information. I never completed any order. I never activated any service. But on 09/01/15 I received a bill for 169.00. I contacted Comcast and they said I had to file a fraud complaint and police report because someone was fraudulently using my information. I had recently pulled a credit report and had no other unusual activity on my credit report. I believe the salesperson opened this account with my prior information. I have four email from Comcast that show I never completed any order. However I have to do all this work of filing these reports when Comcast most likely knows this was an inside job.

    I had internet and home security installed a few months ago. I was not told that I had a data limit. When I discovered I had a limit I was told I could check my usage online. This was false. I cannot get anything but an error message telling me my equipment cannot be loaded. I tried 3 times to get help. The last time I was told I would have to call for my data usage. After I got finished speaking to tech support my home alarm started going off. Xfinity says it is not going off. I can only assume I am being punished for having an issue. I would not suggest Xfinity Home or Comcast internet to anyone. The customer support is an overseas call center that bounces you from one person to the next and they never solve the problem. I am now stuck in a 2 year contract with internet I can't use for fear of incurring fees and a home alarm that keeps going off.

    More than I year ago I experienced slow internet service (slow page load). A Comcast service rep recommended an upgrade to the modem box and unneeded upgrade to Extreme 150 internet service for an additional $50/month. After accepting the service, and more than one year later I learned that the Extreme 150 was no benefit for regular Mac users that do not do gaming or streaming services. The Mac speed is less than 70 cannot handle the 150 extreme services for routine internet browsing, emails, and downloading documents. Be smart and don't be misled by the Comcast Service Reps!

    We have been stuck in the phone wheel of death for 2-3 hours on three occasions in last three months trying to get resolution. They send people out who then have no idea what they are doing. They get on phone with supervisors, look for direction, spend hours in my home wasting our time then tell me someone will call me the next day to reschedule. On the last and fourth such visit, we were scheduled to have the whole house rewired as we get 3-5 mbs and pay for 100!

    Supervisor Alex comes out then tells me they were not scheduled for rewiring, we were scheduled for troubleshooting. I lose it of course and after 1 hour on phone with numerous people, he says they will have to reschedule. Says he will not leave the property until it is resolved and rescheduled. I leave and go to work as he is to call my cell phone. He never calls and of course leaves. I am left back at square one. I am at my wits end.

    I first got Comcast over a year ago at my apartment. I got everything set up and ready to go while on the phone with them, and asked them if I could make my first payment ahead of time. Whomever I spoke with proceeded to tell me my first month was free since I was a new customer. I did not remember ever seeing that anywhere, but was also happy when they mentioned it. So my first bill comes and it is double what my bill was supposed to be and it says I have a late fee added since I did not pay my first bill!

    Confused I called the customer service which btw is terrible!!! The lady I spoke with was so unbelievably rude I was in such shock. Telling me that I do not know what I am talking about, etc. She hung up on me eventually. I was so angry. They continued to add late charge fees even after I paid my bill. After 4 months of having Comcast I cancelled because I was so angry with the way they treated me. I swore I would never get them again...

    To my luck, my new house I just moved into only receives Comcast in this area. So I signed up for Comcast internet and they quoted me 59.99 a month for a speed of 105. I picked up the modem and went to call to activate it. Comcast then told me my account had been cancelled. (WTF) I had just started service with them 4 days prior! So then I got transferred a total of 8 times and was asked to verify who I was 15 times making the phone call a total of 3 hours. Eventually I was able to get my original rate back for the same speed (or so they told me).

    I was not getting any internet whatsoever... The speed was sooo slow I could not even load one page on the internet. Angry and confused I call them back to now find out that I am paying 59.99 a month for a speed of only 50. They then proceed to put me on hold for 25 mins two times! Saying to have 105 speed I need to pay $20 extra a month. I am now not happy. After arguing they then reduce it down to only an extra $5 a month. So now my plan is $65.99 a month. I then proceed to ask for them to email me over my price sheet and contract so I have evidence and a paper trail of all of this and he tells me that he is not able to do that. I HATE COMCAST !!! What can you do to fight back against them if they try to overcharge me, etc. They make me worried to have them as a company. They are stupid, liars, and not trustworthy.

    We have used Xfinity for years. Unfortunately, there are few alternatives. They change the bill amount at least three times a year, make us call, tell us they will fix it and then we call back next month. They say one thing and do another. Today when we called, "We have no record that you previously called." This is common and very irritating. I would go with any other company if I could.

    I recently tried to switch to Comcast from AT&T to get faster internet speed. I ordered the self install kit which I was supposed to be able to plug in and login to activate with current service lines... That didn't work. I called to have it installed by one of their technicians; When I went to setup my Smart TV to connect to the WiFi it wouldn't connect. After spending 2 hours on the phone troubleshooting I was told it was the TV and I would need to contact their troubleshooting department. What kind of service can't connect the WiFi to a TV?

    I called to then cancel the service. I don't have the time to have them keep coming out to correct it when it should have been done at the time of install. After all that's said and done I was billed $125 for what... No service and a huge headache. Absolutely unbelievable. When I called to question why I was billed it was for the service (that I never had). I will not recommend Xfinity to anyone for any reason. AT&T has great customer service and they're reliable.

    I am so tired of Comcast. I had to move twice this summer. It was unfortunate but it's something I had to do. When I moved both times my bill was paid. However, when I go online to pay it for the next month there is a bill of $898.07 and there is no breakdown of how my bill actually amounted to that much. My bill is usually a little over $200 a month. So I called and chatted online to see what was going on. And they basically stated that the bill was created from my previous residence. I don't understand how that can be when I paid every month, how do I have a back payment of $420? They refuse to change the bill claiming that everything on my acct adds up to $898. Which is ridiculous because only Comcast can see the breakdown of my bill and I cannot see it on my end. I am so frustrated with this company. They just don't give a crap about the customer period.

    Finally on Friday, Sept 11 another technician came to install., at first he said he was coming to install inside the house, but could not because the drop bury work has not been done yet - I was speechless.

    Fortunately for my family and me this time the technician knows his job and wants to go the extra time with dedication and effort. He investigated, removed some dirt and found that there was already a tube going below the street from the pole to my house; he uncovered that and voila!

    There was the drop bury ready for him to bring the cable down to my home (it was probably there all the time and the rest did not bother to check). Long story short, he spent the next 3 hours or so installing the services with a fabulous attitude, service, etc. This person did an awesome job.

    It has been without doubts the worst Customer Experience ordeal. 08/02/2015 - Call Comcast sales to requesting cable+Internet+phone service for my new home as I have been recently relocated to Connecticut, and subscribed for a 2-year agreement for Starter XF Triple Play bundle. Paid $197.45 for install+1st month of service. 08/24/2015 - Technician arrives to my address on-time but says that he cannot install as there is no cable from the pole to my house and he needs to call the "higher fix" team. He says somebody will contact me to reschedule for a second appointment. 08/26/2015 - Nobody has call in two days so I contact Customer Service and they schedule a second visit for 08/27/15.

    08/27/2015 - Technician#8023 arrives on-time but after inspecting - same thing the first technician did - he says that he can't continue and will need the "Construction Team" to schedule a THIRD visit, and reiterates that somebody will call me to schedule it. Technician left a copy of a Construction Drop Referral Form JOB # 162031.

    08/27/2015 - I contacted Customer Service by web chat just to find out that my account was Voluntarily Closed - needless to say I didn't do such a thing. After spending more than an hour the agent representative did not offer any solution that was not opening a new service request from scratch. I will not expand on how many times I explain the situation as just to write it down seems a waste of time, but I am attaching the full transcript.

    Before I complain about the Comcast internet service, I have to mention this. I am a Korean and had the fastest internet service in my country with low monthly payment. AND there is no limitation for the usage. Yesterday night, one message was popped up on my computer. It said my data usage reached almost 90% of my plan. I was shocked and angry. Data usage limitation? I haven't heard about that before. So I called Comcast internet customer service. The customer representative said there is no data usage limitation on internet. She added that if the message keep popping up then contact Comcast internet security service.

    All of sudden, she said since I have been their customer almost 9 years she recommended to change the service program, as a bundle of internet and cable TV for $59. It was attractive but I said I was OK with my program now. But she kept pushing me to have the new bundle. So I said since I was not sure if I stayed in the same place in next year, I did not like to have one. But she said there should be no early termination and even if so they could handle it. I didn't and don't believe her words. But that was not an issue. So, in this morning, I felt uncomfortable about the message again, and called Comcast again. I asked about the data cap and the customer service representative said there is none. So I talked about the message but she said there is no data limitation for home internet service. I asked her to transfer my call to her manager. Then, she transferred my call to security department!

    The security department guy said they could not help me because I am not the account holder. I explained that I was calling for my wife and I am the one who pay the monthly payment. Then they explained me that there IS data cap/limitation. What a bummer... I argued that I did not sign on the contract under data limitation. He said it was implemented. So I argued that the Comcast only shows customer two different speed internet service without explaining data cap. And he said normal speed internet has cap of 250 GB and high-speed internet was 350 GB limitation. I haven't hear of that. I quickly searched about that while I was on the phone and found only a handful cities in the U.S. have the cap, and Tucson AZ is one of them. That guy explained me that since I normally used under 300 GB except only one month I did not have to worry about the data cap and if I use more than that, they are going to charge 50 GB for $10 more.

    I argued that I had no memory to read that policy through their official letter and I had no reason to agree with the data cap because I signed the contract back in 2006. And I asked him whether there was another choice or different program. He said he could transfer my call to their sales department. But he transferred me to data usage department. I had to explain the same subject over and over again. The technician did not know what to do with my question. He did not even know there is a limitation. He said he could check the internet connection. So I said I was not talking about internet connection. Then he transferred my call to sales department. The sales department guy said there is no limitation again! And all of sudden she said there is.

    I told her I did not like to have limitation on internet usage. She said then I have to choose $350 internet service. And she added that was the only option, otherwise I have to pay $78 per month plus over usage fee for every 50 GB with $10. I just wasted my 2 and half hours with useless call and customer service. There was no way I could get help from them. Like you see, half of them didn't know their internet service has data usage limitation. Other half did know but couldn't handle my complaint. I did not sign up for the stupid internet data cap. If that service is like other mobile phone service, I cannot help accepting it (Verizon forced me to resign contract from unlimited data plan to 7 GB limited data family plan. Otherwise I could not change my broken Samsung smartphone) BUT, the home internet service is supposed to be unlimited. Internet itself is democratic and the providers are not.

    One comment the security department guy told me was like this, "There is a limitation, but even if there is, we do not disconnect your internet service. However the fee on your billing reflects the usage, 50 GB for $10. That's why the customer representative said there is no limitation." For my entire life I haven't heard that kind of logic. Only word I can think of the event is GREEDY BASTARD. I like to join a class action if there is active one now.

    I have a triple play service, and I use my phone and Wi-Fi for a work at home job. I don't understand why Comcast is running stating it is easy to move with Comcast when it is clearly untrue. I called on Thursday august 20th, asking to transfer my services. But I emphasized on the fact that I didn't want any problems with my line because I needed for work. On Sunday I wasted more than 3 hours on the phone with Comcast just so they can make it right. After speaking to more than 5 agents and doing lot of troubleshooting, it seemed to work. Now today, Monday august 24th, to my big surprise, I saw that I was assigned a new number. Therefore I am not able to work because I have to wait for them to get my old number back and after that I have to wait for another technician to remove all the features. This is not right. This is not acceptable for one of the biggest company.

    I wouldn't write this long review if it was the first time this problem occurred. Indeed, this is the second time. You can mark my words whenever I will get the opportunities to switch to another company, I will do it. Comcast failed to deliver on their promises. Why every time I called to make a small change to my services, there is a problem with my services. No I don't get it. There was only one instance I was late on my bill and it was just for one day. The agent had to lecture like a kid before waiving half of the fees. Every time you speak to an agent, be prepared for a different answer. This is not worthy. There is no company that treat me so poorly.

    COMCAST deserves to be named the WORST COMPANY in the USA. As of right now (Monday August 24th 2015) I lost a whole day of work because of the incompetence and lack of care of Comcast, and unfortunately, I am still counting the hours that I will lose. They promised to call me back and I am still waiting. My situation is different. I need to work in order to pay my bills. My husband lost his job and I can't afford to put my kids in jeopardy. Back in February, I lost two days because of the same issue. I called to remove the tv from the triple package and the next day I found out I had a new number.

Recently I went to a mall close by and there was an Xfinity stand with a representative. I told him the problem and he said something like "oh yeah, to those one month subscriptions we give the slowest speed we have, 6 mbps." I should come see him and sign up for a cheaper and better subscription once this 30 day pass is expired, and I could also terminate it at any time.

Finally tonight I called again at 513 pm which lasted for 2hrs 18 mins bc my email is still not transferred and guess what they are telling me that they have to call me tomorrow to verify my last 2 previous addresses again even though I have verified it every day since I've called on Tues... Jesus Christ doesn't even expect me to verify myself this much. Mind you for the last 3 days I have given them that info every time I spoke to or was transferred to someone... I believe I must've been transferred to 10 people including a supervisor tonight on this 2 hr 18 min phone call and can I tell you that my issue is still pending and not resolved... that's what they call great customer service.

    Now I have to wait til tomorrow, verify my last 2 addresses and then it will take 72 hrs to appear on my acct. It's a good thing I'm NOT dying or counting on an important email. Can I tell you that as soon as I can get out of this contract I am transferring my internet service to Verizon since I already have cell phone service w/ them and they don't treat their customers like this. I have had Verizon since 2002 so that's where I'll be taking my internet service.

    I've been with Comcast since 2011 now. We switched to them because they were the only way to get fast service in Central Florida, beyond 10 Mb/s. This is where I differ from a lot of reviews for this company. We've had service interruptions, but they are infrequent, and usually are being worked on by the time we call customer service. We have had to replace our modem twice, once because the wireless router failed, another time because lightning may have fried it. However getting a replacement was as simple as driving to their office, dropping off the old one, and picking up a new one after we call ahead. Then installation is just me putting in the new one and calling their tech support to send it an update and it's done. Our speed has universally been faster than advertised. Originally we had 15 mb/s, but we consistently rated at 25 mb/s on Speedtest.net even when picking an out of state source.

    We later upgraded to 50 mb/s when it became available, and they gave us 65 mb/s. Just recently they upgraded the lines and gave us 75 mb/s for no charge, and now here's my latest speed test - 88.5 mb/s! We also picked up TV service through them recently, and we have seen a lower total bill plus fewer outages when compared to Dish. While their On Demand forces you to watch commercials by refusing to let you fast forward, it is extensive. In short the only two problems I have had with them is their new computer that directs customer service calls has a tendency to hang up, and their On Demand won't let you fast forward. The actual people are helpful, and their service is reliable. I know people complain about this company a lot, but at least in Lake County, Florida, their service is the best.

    I attempted to initiate service with Xfinity last week. It has taken me over 5 hours of phone calls to try to get service. I still do not have any. Initially, the customer service agent failed to take my e-mail, explain to me the new landline number, and took my last name incorrectly. I was supposed to receive a self install shipment of supplies. The shipment never came. Luckily, I called to check on the status. After being on hold for 25 minutes I was told that the order never took place. I waited another 25 minutes for a supervisor. The equipment was received the following day. I waited on hold 20 minutes to speak to an activation representative. Then waited another 25 minutes to be called back by the same rep. The activation was unsuccessful and I waited another 30 minutes to speak to a supervisor.

    This has been followed by approximately another 75 minutes in phone calls to supervisors who attempt to give you their word that your issue will be resolved, but in reality, you are one of over 20 million customers whom they provide service to. Your business means nothing to this company. They have a sales and representative force that is poorly skilled and overwhelmed. It is truly sad to think that this is the state of customer service in 2015. I have been met with a litany of inexcusable, incompetent service thus far.

    What began as a simple phone call to start service has turned into the worst and most time consuming lack of customer service experience I have ever experienced. If there was another option in my area, I would rapidly flee to it. Any other provider, DirecTV, Dish, Time Warner, etc. would be a welcome choice. I DO NOT recommend Comcast Xfinity based on my statements above. Simple fact is that they have too many customers, a poorly skilled customer service force, and are unable to accommodate the volume or service area this billion dollar company has taken on.

When I paid that 621.00 yes, I thought that covered the next month. Again, it's not like I did not pay!!!

    Trying to get services reactivated with Comcast after they in error deactivated services was a very disappointing/exasperating experience. Customer Satisfaction was not a priority or concern of agents. After dealing with Customer Solutions, Technical Solutions, Billing and devoting over 5 hours of time on the phone with the various departments and repeating numerous times the problem and account information, I have given up! Only two of the services within bundle are reactivated and phone services could not be restored due to outdated modem. Service Technician to reinstall a new modem couldn't come to home for over 1 week. Prior to Comcast deactivating service in error all services were working without issue. Comcast Xfinity does not provide satisfactory customer service.

    Never getting Comcast again!!! They suckered me into a two year contract because I thought they were giving me a good deal, ended up paying over $220 a month for their services. Now I'm canceling and I have returned equipment over three weeks ago and I get another bill and I get charged yet another month!!! I have been calling numerous amount of times and no luck. I have just been getting the run around. I'm currently on hold for 28 minutes before getting an answer. Now all they say is "please call back on the status" and when I do call back the next person says the same. I'm guessing I'm just gonna keep getting charge until they finally feel like disconnecting. Comcast is not about their customers. I have been stuck with a little money problem and they are not compassionate nor understanding. I just keep getting charged and I'm getting no help at all. I warn everybody about Comcast scamming people.

    Comcast has one of the worst customer service telephone service in the business. It takes at least 10-15 min to get to speak to a live representative, after that, repetitive confirmation questions which apparently are not saved in the system after being transferred numerous times to get to the right person. After I finally reached an X1 service representative, he dropped my call and I had to wait another 10-15 min to get another representative. Finally, Dave did help me to resolve my question (log in ID and password to access X1 on iPad), but could not find any record of my previous communication with the prior X1 representative who dropped my call after confirming my identity and account, then putting me on hold.

    Overall, 40 min of my life wasted, something that could have been accomplished in less than 10 min. This is not just one occasion, this is EVERY time Comcast Customer Service is contacted. They are verbally polite, but excessively so, and more importantly, are either incompetent or do not care. Often times in my experience, this may be rooted in not being taken care of well by the company themselves.

    If Comcast wants to keep me and thousand of others as customers, telephone customer service system needs to be corrected for automated system redundancies and incomplete options, inefficiencies, lack of accountability and a major waste of time Comcast is repetitively putting its customers through. Look at other reviews. This is not an isolated incident. This is a systemic problem!

    I arranged for a technician to evaluate for home security. I have an existing service. 4 separate technician visits suggested by Comcast could not figure out how to integrate my system. Canceled the attempted transfer. Comcast canceled all of my preexisting 2 year discounts on my 3 services without notice. They miscoded cancellation of security install in their system. They are billing me for services, tech visits, and equipment I never had. I have been on site at store twice. Received 2 different quotes on new costs. Billing not adjusted to reflect Comcast error. Billing us $622.28 for service I don't have. Additionally someone during this process in Comcast altered my social security number. I could not access services. I had to go into a store and present a social security card. No follow up on either issue from any management as was promised. My bill is due 8/13/15. I have been dealing with these errors since April when my number was altered.

    Updated on 08/19/2015: I spoke with my escalation case manager yesterday afternoon to discuss issues listed above. In addition I noted additional charges on my online account information. The additional charges are unexplained at this time. It was noted that although these show up on my online account they do not show up on Comcast system. It was also explained that online charges, even if incorrect, do not disappear until the next billing cycle. The explanation for the 3 different quoted cost of the same services by 3 different representatives is this. There are different levels of representatives. Each level has a list of price quotes for services. This indicates that the pricing may be selected for your services by the level of the representative. Is this consistent and a fair practices way of charging customers?

    The third topic was how my personal information could suddenly change in their system. The case manager stated he tried to recreate that scenario while we were on the phone and the system did not allow it to be done. We discussed this at length as there were inferences that perhaps somehow this was not done by Comcast at all. If not, does this attempt to shift blame back to me, the consumer, who does not have access unless done in person. I cited another person with a similar issue and was told he had never come across this before. It was documented in their system as to the date this change was first encountered. This allowed me to again stress that this was an unauthorized and unknown intrusion into my personal account information. I have requested further escalation to a management level. My case manager was unable to answer one question when the charges online are corrected.

    When I called to establish service they had to call me back. Their "system" was too slow to tell me if I was in their area. I then spent 30 minutes going through their options and establishing service. I received a call the next day and was told that even though I had set up a installation date and established service with them they could not come out and connect service on the first of the month because there was already service at the house. Until that was cancelled they could not install mine. I have moved numerous times and I have never heard this before. The representative was unwilling to try to explain the issue in a way that made any sense and would not let me speak to a manager. In the end, I told him that I did not want service through Xfinity and would find another provider.

    I was told I would be charged a $100 unreturned equipment fee upon cancelling my service with Comcast. The fee is for a cable box that I received as a part of my internet package. By the time I found out about this, I had moved out of my sublet and my landlord had thrown out the box. When I was given the box by an Xfinity employee, I was not told in any way that I had to return it or that there was a fee associated with it. In fact, I did not even need the box, as I did not have a tv inside my sublet. I have called customer services a few times to try to get the fee waived, but they were very dismissive and told me that nothing could be done about it. I would be okay with the fee if it had been verbally clear to be that the cable box was rental equipment and had to be returned, but since I wasn't, I feel incredibly scammed and disrespected as a customer.

    I've been dealing with Comcast for 3 years now. I have watched commercials that brag about their wonderful service and their great, wonderful customer service. I don't find their service to be wonderful or great. I don't find them to be a step ahead of the rest, they're actually a step behind the rest to using cable and routers. Representatives are rude and you get disconnected if you're one day late even after 3 years. My thought is to just go back to DIRECTV because I never had a single problem and it costs a third of the price that Comcast has cost me. I feel like Comcast is a big fat waste of money and time.

    Many times my internet goes out, disconnects or is very slow (I mean dial up 1990's slow). So I call up Comcast, they call back and the hours begin to tick by. The first Tier are people who I doubt completed High School. Listening Skills are lacking or not there. We then go to the second Tier, which hangs up before we start so I have to call again. There seems to a blaming of my Gateway which is constantly misnamed a "Modem" or "Router." After 2 hours I reset everything myself including things that only somewhat advanced individuals should be able to figure it out. This is my fifth dealing with Comcast and their non-caring staff. I am looking into other avenues.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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