Complete Xfinity support failure.

My internet keeps dropping and after several calls (which the chat bots said there was a problem but was resolved) the problem is still ongoing. I managed to get a tech out to my house and by chance the problem occurred while he was here. He diagnosed it as a bad modem but said he was unable to replace it (because I have Xfinity NOW and I have to replace it!!!!!). How do I replace an Xfinity provided modem????  When I rated this support as a 0 (because Xfinity both could not and would not fix the problem) a customer rep called me, said tech support would in fact replace the modem, transferred me to them, then they said they had to transfer me to another group who does equipment replacement. I was then transferred again to someone who said he was with “boost mobile”.  He said he had no idea why I was transferred to him, and that he couldn’t help me, nor was he able to transfer me back. ….xfinity has so far provided the worst support ever.  Is anybody there able to work through Xfinity’s abysmal support process and do what a support group is actually supposed to do?

So far I have made over a dozen different calls on this issue over several weeks and have spent more than 8 hours on the phone with bots and techs, and also went to an Xfinity store. No can nor is willing to resolve this issue. This is an incredibly bad experience.

The link is not useful. I need to talk with a real tech person not a tech bot which is what the link provides. My modem lights all blink on and off when I’m experiencing the problem which an onsite tech diagnosed as a bad modem. Yet neither he or anyone else will replace it “because” I have Xfinity NOW “prepaid” service.  The bot cannot help, and the only way I can reach anyone from Xfinity is to pretend I’m calling about getting a service upgrade. I repeat, how do I reach a real tech support person who can and will support Xfinity NOW?????  Xfinity acts like Xfinity NOW is not part of Xfinity. Xfinity should take responsibility for its services.

Moving through the Xfinity assistant response tree via the Now Portal link will eventually connect you to someone from the NOW support team, @user_fq3oq0 . We would love to assist as this has been a frustrating experience for you thus far, but we lack the tools to jump in here. 

The NOW Internet FAQs article states If you have an issue with your NOW Internet Gateway and you want to replace your device, please chat with us for assistance. That article also host a link for the current NOW device warranty policy, which may be useful in this instance.

The bots, links, and everything else with Xfinity NOW is completely automated and NOT at all helpful or useful.  The advice to RTFM (or in this case webpage) is NOT helpful as I have done this over and over again.  My internet service drops regularly day after day, hour after hour, and that is just ridiculous.

My Xfinity NOW modem was shipped to me with a loose component in it (it rattled when I lifted it out of the box to install it.  It still rattles when I pick it up.  An Xfinity onsite technician diagnosed the modem as bad (you can check the support records), but everyone I talk to at Xfinity says NOW is self service and "I have to fix it".  I am NOT an Xfinity technician!  Why doesn't Xfinity understand that, why doesn't Xfinity support their product, why doesn't Xfinity take responsibility for their services and business...why, why, why???  Please don't send me another link as an answer!

@user_fq3oq0 The link my colleague shared gives you the opportunity to chat with our Xfinity Assistant. It will try to assist you at first, but it will connect you to an Xfinity NOW support specialist if unsuccessful.
