Here’s an updated version of your complaint to reflect the final resolution while emphasizing your dissatisfaction and request for compensation:
Subject: Formal Complaint – Unacceptable Service & Excessive Delays in Resolving My Issue
Dear Xfinity Customer Support,
I am writing to formally express my extreme disappointment and dissatisfaction with the service I received while attempting to resolve an issue with my phone number after receiving a replacement device from Xfinity. While the issue was finally resolved after spending a total of seven hours—including three hours sitting at an Xfinity store—the experience was completely unacceptable.
Issue Summary & Timeline:
1. Phone Replacement (2/12/2024): I received a replacement device due to phone damage, but the screen was broken, preventing me from syncing it independently.
2. Initial Contact with Xfinity: I called for assistance and was advised to temporarily change my phone number to activate the device. I was assured that my original number would be restored afterward.
3. Follow-up Attempt: After following these instructions, I was unable to recover my original number. I spent over 1.5 hours on the phone with customer support, only to be told to visit my local Xfinity store.
4. Visit to Xfinity Store: I waited at the store for three hours, during which I was given no proactive assistance, and staff were unable to reach customer support via chat.
5. Final Resolution After Seven Hours: After a total of seven hours across multiple interactions, my phone number was finally restored.
Unacceptable Customer Experience & My Concerns:
• Significant Time Lost: Seven hours of my day were wasted due to Xfinity’s inefficient support process, lack of urgency, and failure to provide an immediate resolution.
• Disruptions to My Business: My phone number is a business line, and the delays negatively impacted my ability to communicate with clients.
• Lack of Proper Support: At no point was there clear ownership of my issue, leaving me frustrated and with no choice but to invest excessive time just to get a simple problem resolved.
• Failure to Provide Escalation or Alternatives: Instead of offering an expedited solution, I was forced to navigate multiple channels, none of which provided timely assistance.
Request for Compensation & Immediate Action:
Due to the unacceptable delays, poor service, and disruption to my business, I am formally requesting:
1. A written explanation and acknowledgment of the mishandling of my issue.
2. Compensation for the significant inconvenience caused. Given that Xfinity’s inefficiency cost me seven hours, I expect appropriate reimbursement.
3. Process Improvements to ensure that no other customer endures such an ordeal.
If I do not receive a timely response and resolution, I will be forced to escalate my complaint to the FCC, Better Business Bureau (BBB), and other consumer protection agencies. I expect a direct response within 48 hours addressing my concerns.
I look forward to your immediate attention to this matter.

Your customer service [Edited: "Language"]! It takes all day and still never gets anything done. I tried for over an hour and never got a person to talk to. Auto service don't work well? This makes it hard to keep up with your bill. [Edited: "All Caps"]

I have never been treated so rudely on multiple phone calls. 3 times I have been hung up on when trying to find out about new deals for services. I am taking my phone and internet to a new company today. Your customer service is probably the worst I’ve ever encountered. And who has $600 laying around to pay for a full year of service to get a discount?! Not many. Mid conversation as I asked multiple times for the guy to repeat himself because the accent is SO THICK that I cannot understand him he puts me back on hold. Why? May as well just hung up like the others. You have lost my business after today. I have already called Verizon and AT &T. Yall should be ashamed of yourselves how you talk and treat the people that support your own paychecks. Terrible. And most definitely I will let every single person I possible can know that Xfinity is a terrible company. I’ve been a loyal customer and paid on time every month. So long!!

I finally cancelled our account. I just could not deal with all the 9 calls I had to make and receive 25 different response - totally uncalled for
just because one CSR could not correct our change on both ends f do or a move.
this is all totally unacceptable and no reason for all the calls and 25 different responses. Plus the hoops u need to go through to reach a live person is total a nightmare
xfinity literally has to be the worst customer service company in the United States. You have no accountability to your customers. You have no actual way to communicate with a human being. You are truly the worst company in my life. Your services are always being interrupted and there is no way for a customer to get actual help. You should be ashamed but I know you are just laughing all the way to the bank--what a disgrace
I have been an Xfinity user for three years. I am moving and wanted to talk to them about my service. First of all getting a hold of a live person is next to impossible. The first two times I called. I opted to receive a call back and you won't use to lose your place in line, so they said I was told the weight was between 20 and 50 minutes and eight hours later, I got a call back and the message said we're closed. That happened twice when I finally reached someone I spoke at length to both Fran and Anne and the loyalty department and for all the aggravation that I have had they agreed to give me a discount on the five-year lock at $65 instead of 85 with unlimited data and I already have my checking account. That's being auto deducted. I Was given a work order, which I provided the different people I spoke to last night and they all told me that the work order had not been completed properly. They also said that they would not honor what I was told about the $65 with the unlimited data, etc. I cannot express the level of frustration at being lied to by your company and the incompetence of the people that work at that company. I will file a complaint with both the Better Business and I will make sure that this is posted on every social media platform so that people know no matter who you talk to no matter what they tell you no matter if they give you a work order or whatever that you will be lied to. I wanna call from somebody regarding this issueMy number is
@user_u6luyy I appreciate your loyalty throughout these 3 years and for giving us the opportunity to help via Forums. I would be more than happy to help get your order completed.

I want a call from a manager in the loyalty department at <Personal Information> . I spent the last five phone calls with Xfinity being lied to being told that I didn't have an accurate work order when I provided them with the work order number that and they said that the person that provided that service for me did not complete it. I have been lied to repeatedly by your Company. I will give you an opportunity to make this right before I file a complaint with the government agency that overseas you and the Better Business Bureau
Our cable box and modem were damaged by a lightning storm. The electricity seems to come through the cable wires…not the outlet. I have spent hours on the phone (after replacing the box and modem)trying to get it to come back on. Today…one xfinity employee (in India if I had to guess) actually tried to EXTORT $100 to “activate “ the new modem. Then said he’d forgive the $100 activation fee if I’d pay my August bill IN ADVANCE. I said, “Is this really xfinity?” He replied “yes, we have all your details”. Now I cannot access my account to see what activity has occurred. There was a strange email added to my account “fexbox.org”. All my activation codes are being hijacked to this email I believe. I can’t seem to get this resolved. I’m not sure I’m talking to LEGIT xfinity reps or some sketchy scam creeps extorting $. Worst customer service experience ever, by far.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, this definitely sounds fishy @Lake4Life.
If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.

I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer for more than 20 years. I have never missed a payment and feel that I have been overpaying for service for many years. I was interested in revising my plan to the umlimited data feature, and I could not locate a phone number to talk to a real person. I tried using the chat feature which was not helpful. I then tried to upgrade on the website and received a pop-up message saying that I need to call Xfinity. I called the number and ended up speaking to two customer service reps - the first one could not help me and transferred my call after 32 minutes. The second rep helped me after I spent 50 minutes on the phone with him. As part of my new channel and data deal, I was told I would receive a free IPAD, but when I refused to provide my date of birth, that perk was removed. I am disappointed with the company, and I will be looking for another provider.
user_s82nic thank you for using the Xfinity Community Forums page to reach out today. I understand the importance of feeling the value for the service that you are paying for as a consumer myself. I would be more than happy to look into your package options to ensure we have the best level of service to fit your unique needs at an affordable rate if you'd like. I know you mentioned already working on a deal with another member of our team over the phone. Did you end up accepting that offer?

Comcast/Xfinity has had a cable crossing the front of my property tied up to a tree. A few months ago the tree branch broke and the cable fell across my driveway. A day later it got stuck to my trucks axle and broke the cable off. They came to repair the cable and the [Edited: "Inflammatory"] tied it back up to the tree. Granted all of the cables in the neighborhood are underground except the one crossing my yard. They said they had to send another crew to dig up and bury the cable, now for more than 8 months, the cable is still on the tree. Not only is this negligent, it is a safety concern. Before I report this to the state regulators and the FCC, I would like to give Comcast/Xfinity the opportunity to rectify this in excused negligence and unacceptable situation.
I have a very detailed chronological list regarding multiple service disruptions over the course of months and erroneous charges being disputed relating to Home Tech Visits and late charges associated unresolved, where penalty charges are being applied and am being threatened that my service will be disconnected unless these are paid. I have spent hours in attempt to have this issue resolved, have continued to pay ONLY my regular monthly service charges. I have doubt that this is the forum to include such details and am seeking direction to the contact information to provide a formal complaint and action required.
@user_k7onai thank you for taking time to reach out over Xfinity Forums. With you being new to the platform, I understand if you're not familiar with how the process works. It is best to create your own post on the correct board, and then await for a Xfinity employee to make contact. The forum's guidelines are helpful for new users if you wanted to review:
Working from home myself, I completely understand the importance of having your home network up and running. There is a $100 technician visit fee if the issue isn't related to Xfinity equipment or outside wiring: https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/prepare-for-your-service-visit
- During the technician visit(s) you were billed, did the technician provide any details during the work they performed?
- Do you have your own equipment?
