Cannot cancel NOW internet service

I've been trying to cancel my NOW internet service for two days and it seems to be the unsolvable problem for Xfinity. I've talked with multiple customer service agents and nobody can successfully cancel it. I'm unable to cancel it myself from my account page because I've been getting a "There's been an error. Try again later" message every single time I try for the last 48+ hours. 

I'm at a loss for what to do and Xfinity can't even seem to solve the problem and I'm stuck paying for a service I can't even use because I get the same error message when I try turning off auto-pay.

Hey there, user_83y9te, thanks for reaching out through Xfinity Forums regarding the issues with your NOW Internet services. Here is a link with the steps to cancel your services, https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/now-portal-overview. Are you attempting to cancel prior to activation or after?

Hi there,

I've followed these steps many, many times and all I get is an error message telling me to try again later. I'm trying to cancel after activation.

user_83y9te - Can you walk me through the steps you're taking? Within the NOW Portal, you can discontinue your services at any time by turning off automatic payments. To turn off automatic payments, select See details on the NOW home page for your NOW Internet or NOW Mobile services and then select Turn off autopay. You’ll be prompted to confirm your choice and will then receive a confirmation message.

@user_83y9te​ I am been trying to do this for six months as well and every time I do it, they tell me it’s good and then every month the money comes out of my bank account. I don’t know what to do

@user_83y9te​ did you ever get a real solution other than to follow the steps ? Because it’s not working for me and I don’t want this thing to keep taking my money for a modem I don’t have

Were you able to cancel?I called a month ago and canceled and this week was fraudulently bills $30.  I am having the same issues. I've talked to 17 people's over two days and 6 hours found out NOW Internet is 100% self serve so no one can touch it. My app shows it active but when I select autopay or setting to try and do anything it says I don't have now Internet so I can't turn off autopay. I canceled my debit card and disputed the charges with my bank and am highly considering speaking to an attorney because there are laws about making it difficult to cancel and refusing to turn off autopay when requested.

@user_50etak​ I'm in the same boat. It's been 2 weeks of me talking to someone nearly daily trying to cancel or turn off autopay, so I finally had to report my debit card as lost so they just can't charge me. And every customer service person I talk with gives me the BS line of "Don't worry, I'll solve your problem and ensure you leave here happy!" Can't recall the last time I left a conversation with Xfinity happy.

That doesn't work any more. There is no auto pay setting in the Xfinity now app, nor on the web page. 

I haven't tried using the cancel button yet (moving in another 2 weeks), but turning off auto pay is no longer available. 

I did a live chat - they said they turned it off and removed my payment card from the account. 

Neither of those things actually occurred.

@Kalash Thank you for reaching out. Are you still being charged for NOW services even after you were told it was turned off?

I’m in the same boat and zero help from Xfinity.  I had to call Discover and they are going to block transactions until Feb 2026.  I hope it fails and finally closes out.  

Clearly this isn’t an isolated incident and they need to have a way to intervene and cancel.

@user_07afsj​ considering that they've done away with all methods to even call Xfinity to speak to a human, I don't think they care anymore (or ever did care). I had to go through the hassle of canceling my debit card and updating everything I had to a new debit card, just to cancel my service, despite being promised by a dozen Xfinity customer service people that they'd solve my problem. They owe me a refund for the service because it kept renewing after their first "promise" to cancel and I couldn't get it because I had to cancel my debit card. Maybe a class action lawsuit would make them finally fix their mess.

@user_83y9te I'm sorry to hear that you had so many issues with canceling your service.  Were you finally able to resolve everything except for the credit?

I am having the same problem. How do you cancel their pre-paid service? No one on the customer support staff nor the chat option are able to help me.

I tried to cancel my NOW internet and tv yesterday and after 2 trios to store and multiple phone calls I finally just canceled my credit card so no longer will be charged for services. I guess thing will be a lawyer if need be.

Having the same issue 

cant cancel

multiple phone calls, trip to xfinity wasted time, and doing the same thing with  the portal with no result

there is a heading that says cancellation before activating and then it goes to a pre-populated box to says click if equipment error

then to the xfinity chat whose purpose is the infuriate its customer 

very surprise xfinity can go so low to get a bad stain

ridiculous

We really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and honestly — we hear the frustration loud and clear. When you've already spent time on the phone, made a trip to the store, followed all the steps online, and still ended up stuck in a loop with no resolution… it’s beyond frustrating. I’ve been there too, where it feels like every path you take leads right back to square one, and that’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have. 

 

We would like to look into this for you. Can you initiate a direct message and start with your full name and address? To start a direct message, you must be signed in. Please click the "Direct Messaging" icon in the top right of the page next to the bell, and send your message to "Xfinity Support". Talk to you there!
