Complaint

I’ve had an extremely frustrating experience with Xfinity over the past few months. My bill suddenly increased by over $30 with no clear explanation, and trying to get answers has been a nightmare.

I’ve called customer service five separate times, and while a couple of representatives were helpful, others were outright rude and dismissive. It often felt like they weren’t actually listening to my concerns and were more focused on pushing scripted responses than solving the problem.

Beyond customer service, the pricing structure is confusing and feels misleading. You get locked into “packages” that don’t match how you actually use TV or internet, and once promotional pricing ends, the cost jumps significantly.

To make matters worse, I’m paying for one of the highest-tier internet plans, yet the service is unreliable. For the price, I expected consistent performance, but that hasn’t been the case.

Overall, between the poor customer service, unexpected price increases, and unreliable internet, I can’t recommend Xfinity. I’m actively looking for another provider and would advise others to carefully consider their options before signing up.

Hi there, @user_avbuey. Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Community Forum and sorry to hear about the poor experience. That is certainly not what we want for you. Regarding billing, it sounds like you may have come off a promotional rate. In the spirit of transparency, we provide a listing of the active promotions, the amount saved, and the end date on each and every billing statement. It would be under your services in green text. If you are doing paperless billing, you can check your statements with the directions here : https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/view-xfinity-billing-history . You also mentioned inconsistent performance. Could you provide a bit more detail on what you've experienced?

I am responding to my prior note of frustration with recent experiences attempting to reduce my monthly bill.

Reaching a live representative is ALWAYS extremely difficult, and when I do connect with someone, my concerns are often not properly heard or addressed. The most basic expectation of customer service is active listening, yet I repeatedly had to restate my situation due to both communication challenges and poor call quality.

My request was simple: I wanted assistance lowering my monthly bill. However, instead of addressing this, multiple representatives attempted to make changes to my internet service. I made it very clear—several times—that I work from home and that my internet service should not be altered under any circumstances. Despite this, unauthorized equipment was shipped to my home, resulting in additional charges—the exact opposite of what I requested.

Additionally, I was enrolled in a sports package that I did not want. I do not watch sports at all, so this add-on is both unnecessary and inappropriate. I was also assured by multiple representatives that my bill would be reduced and that I would receive credits. None of these promises were fulfilled.

Ultimately, I was forced to visit an Xfinity store in person to return the unsolicited equipment and speak with someone directly to resolve the issue—something that should not have been necessary.

This experience has been extremely frustrating, especially as a loyal customer. I expect better communication, accountability, and respect for customer requests.

I am requesting the following:

  • My visit to the store corrected my Cable TV lineup - but rep was not authorized to provide credits.
  • I want to make sure the equipment I returned is OFF my profile and statement.
  • Application of any previously promised credits

I would appreciate prompt attention to this matter and a resolution that reflects the level of service customers should expect.
