Comcast is making my decision to cancel so easy

My internet service has been intermittent since last Saturday.   Technical contractor shows up 2 hours late today and tells me my now 60Mbps download speeds are “fine”.  He claims he will report my problem to the maintenance department but enough is enough.  After 20+ years as a customer, looks like Comcast is ready to fire me.

Hello @user_i5gydo and thanks for posting your concern on our Xfinity Community forums! 

We can definitely understand how frustrating intermittent service can be, especially after such a long history with us. Waiting on a visit and not feeling like the issue was fully addressed would leave anyone feeling the same way.

What you’re describing doesn’t sound like the level of reliability you should expect, and it’s important that situations like this are looked at beyond just a basic speed check. There may be underlying factors that weren’t fully explored during that visit.

In some cases when a tech needs to refer something to our maintenance team, it is because the root cause of a particular problem is up line of the customer location and requires someone like a network technician or infrastructure technician to address the issue.  Sometimes such work does require specialized access or equipment to be completed safely and effectively. 

If you’re open to it, please send us a direct message* with your full name and service address. We’d like to take a closer look at what’s been happening and help get you some clearer answers and a path forward.

I signed in but don’t see a “direct messaging” icon.  Am I using it now?  It really shouldn’t be this difficult.

The Direct Messaging icon should appear top right in your browser to the left of your profile icon.

The only option on my iPhone is to create a conversation.  Would it be possible to use email since this is only adding to my frustration

I do apologize @user_i5gydo, but we do not have the ability to email. The Direct Message icon should be a small chat bubble icon in order to open the private messages within your Xfinity Forums account. 

If you are having any troubles, our main support line at 1-800-XFINITY is always available 24/7 to assist with any troubleshooting needs. 

Can you try on a computer to see if that provides better results to messaging us directly?
