Bait and switch plan change and insufferable customer service

Hello.  I've been a customer since 2004 and have never experienced such poor customer care as I have over the past week.

I previously had a FAST plan at 55 dollars a month, which had about a year left on the agreement.  Was offered a new plan that would cost 85 dollars per month, but also include a phone line.  

AFTER agreeing to the upgrade, I was notified that my phone was not compatible with the new plan, that it would cost another 10 dollars a month AND I need a new phone.  

I said that this is not what I agreed to and told them to put me back where I started.  Which they said at the time was fine.  Until I checked my account and turns out it is not... I am locked into the 30 dollar a month price increase.
 
Now Ive been getting the runaround via offshore call centers for over a week now, being gaslighted, disrespected, and hung up on, telling me that I cannot have my old plan back, or anything remotely close to it in both price and service.  

The xfinity website does not work either


This is the first week I can remember.... ever... looking into what alternatives are out there for internet providers.

user_94njpo. Thank you for sharing this, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration you’ve experienced. I understand how upsetting it is to agree to an upgrade based on certain terms, only to be told afterward about additional costs and limitations. That’s not the experience we want for any customer. Especially someone who’s been with us for so long. I appreciate you taking the time to explain this, and I want to help get this reviewed so we can work toward a resolution. Could you please send our team a Direct Message with your name and service address? Our team can take a further look.
