Bait and switch
Hello Mr. Karinshak and Mr. Brewer,
I am reaching out as concerned customer to ask that your agents are more equipped with knowledge to help your customers. I was blatantly lied to on the phone after spending almost 2 hours on phone during my workday. After my two year rate guarantee was complete, my bill was going to increase by $66 so I called to see what could be done to reduce the cost of my home Internet. I was told NO changes would be made to my plan and she could set me up with another 12 month contract at $100 per month which I agreed to. Although the increase was still going to be $10, it was surely better than $66. I was given verbal confirmation over the phone in which I had to accept. But when the call was over, and I received the confirmation email, it showed that I had a service removed (gigabyte extra), which was going to lower my gigabytes speed from 1200 to 1000. I work from home and my Internet speed is attached to my livelihood. I called back to ask why they would've done that to me but instead was met with a condescending employee that blamed it on me, yet alluding to prior agent just not knowing better and told me if I wanted to add it back it would be $10 extra per month. I now have been waiting for a manager to call me back with no expectation that somebody can help. I am reaching out via email as I believe these issues still need to be seen. Bad services practices make for unloyal customers as I no longer have the same respect I once had. You hear about AT&T doing things like bait and switch to their customers, but I never thought it would be Xfinity as I hold your company to a higher standard. I am asking, I should be given what was verbally told to me this morning. Please if someone can reach out and assist me. This is well beyond the $10 and more about the principles of your company from a service and customer retention perspective. Thank you for your time.

Hello @user_9lw1qc! I apologize that you had a poor experience when trying to repackage your account. We have an approval process that requires our customers to review and approve all orders before any changes can be made to an account. Approvals are typically completed by email or text, but can also be completed using the automated phone system in some situations. I'd be happy to look further into this for you, and see if there is something that can be done to decrease your bill and give you the Gig Extra speed that you prefer. Please send us a direct message with your first/last name and full address. You can start by clicking the "direct message" icon on the upper right page of the forum page. Once you click on that, input our shared handle "Xfinity Support" to send us a direct message. If you're signed in to your forums profile and because you have already posted to the public page, you should have the option to do so.
