Overcharged & Connectivity Problems

After my bill was increased by 50% this month (even though my coverage was not changed), I contacted Xfinity and was told via chat that with online autopay I would only be charged $70 not the $90 that included the upcharge. However, when my bill came due it was $90 (even though I have online autopay set up) and then this afternoon my internet kept fritzing out while I was on Zoom. I'm super frustrated with A) the inability to get a real person on the phone or any sort of chat service, B) getting a 50% upcharge after being a loyal Xfinity customer for two years, C) being told one thing about pricing and then getting charged something else, and then D) paying that much money for a network that isn't reliable.

First, I would like to take a look at the reliability issues you have had. Have you had any other issues with your internet beyond what happened this afternoon?

Sometimes the internet doesn't work effectively on my phone and I have to turn my wifi off and use data to get internet to load. My computer is usually fine for streaming or browsing the web, but Zoom was really struggling for the first part of my call today.

Understood, @user_43T. Do you have any hardwired devices? If so, do they also run into the same issues?

I'm not sure what you mean by hardwired devices. I also know the bedroom at the back of the house doesn't really receive a signal, which is a major problem given what we pay.

When we say hardwired, we mean devices that are connected via an ethernet(internet) cable directly to the modem. This is typically PCs, gaming systems etc. that require that more dedicated and faster connection. Based on what you're saying though, this seems to be relegated to the Wi-Fi connection, is that right?

Yes, we don't have any hardwired devices. The wifi is the problem.
