Customer retainment & Internet Plan Circus

I am completely flabbergasted by your internet pricing business model and customer retainment policies. Up until two days ago, I was a platinum customer of 15+ years. Under no contract but stayed. You are offering new customers 2GD for $85/month for 5 years. Called several times asking for that price - even spoke with cancellation department. They refused to extend that offer to me because, technically, I am an existing customer. Politely informed them that if I do not receive that offer the next time I call will be to cancel. They could care less and the service center I spoke to twice was a horrible mess.  Sounded like a big party in the background (pull the calls).

Complete disregard to a longstanding, reliable, and profitable customer. Business 101 is to keep existing customer at nearly all costs. 

Guess what...I immediately called a local competitor (Metronet). They provide 2GB for $80/month and were able to install in less than 24 hours.

The kicker is less than 2 days pass and I can sign back up as a new customer to get the plan I initially inquired about. Unbelievable bone headedness! You lost my business for likely good. 

Unreal business practices. You wonder why your customer base is leaving in droves.

You are not an "OFFICAL XFINITY EMPLOYEE". You are a bot or have zero reading comprehension skills.

I'm sorry but it's rather frustrating that I have to actively manage this process jump through more hoops. If Comcast wants me back you need to show initiative. The opening statement was pretty straightforward yet I have received no direct correspondence with an offer to bring me back. 

However, I'll make it easy - I would consider returning for:

1. 2GB+ for 5/year at $80 per month (new price I am getting with Metronet)

2. Xfinity Advanced Gateway (XB10)

This is non-negotiable. I want the very best speed and top-of-the line equipment at the price I am getting now. The xB8 is trash.

I understand where you are coming from and we appreciate you being open to allowing us to assist. I am happy to look at all of our options and share them with you to see if we have that offer available. I will just need for you to send us a DM and with your account details then after authenticating you we can look through it together.
