Customer service AI runaround, daily outages, I am done

We live in a major city, and experience an outage daily, sometimes multiple times a day.

Lasting from single minutes to hours.


This impacts us severely as my spouse works from home full time, and I work from home on occasion, and its starting to affect our performance reviews and the fact that one of us recruits for a living and has the internet drop out regularly mid interview, is a huge issue. We chose Xfinity because they were the best, but now they are potentially costing us our livelihoods.


Completely unacceptable. 

Xfinity has fallen so far, in terms of service provided and customer service, not to mention the resolution associated. 

As for the customer service aspect, Xfinity, fix this, I understand initial automation (select 1 for billing, 2 for outages, etc,) but I shouldn’t have to threaten an AI that I want to cancel my service in order to reach an actual human being. Further more, bring those services reps backs to the states, we need people we can understand. I know thats harsh, but its the truth you need to hear. I want to part ways, this is business, I do not pay full price for part time service, as I’m sure if I didn’t pay my full bill you wouldn’t keep my internet on. 

The $7 outage credit isn’t enough when you’re terrible service is potentially getting me terminated from my job. 

What are you going to do about this?

@XfinityGabby​ I absolutely will, but I have also ready through these forms and see a lot of non resolution, I’ll be copying and pasting that stuff onto this post for transparency.

As stated, Xfinity needs to step their game up and do some damage control.

Same here, went from a 3:00 restoration to a 9:00 restoration. This is the final straw. Xfinity customer service team, I have no resolution from you, sent the initial message with zero response, where it at Gabby?

Update: a competitor (starts with A, blue logo), is offering the same service, 1 gig internet, broadband service, for $80 a month. I called their customer service line and GOT A PERSON, they will even be paying my cancellation fees to xfinity. 


Xfinity, you have fallen so far so fast it’s insane, you were the best, who ever is in charge not only deserves to be fired, but needs to be, restore your reputation and the service for which you were once known, prevent others like me from leaving, and you may just attract me back. 
Do better.

I keep getting ignored in the chat, they send me the fifteen minute time sensitive confirmation text, I confirm that its me, the service reps then go on to ignore me until the fifteen minute window passes, I suspect the xfinity team is trying to wait me out.

Update: My service was just restored at 10:41 AM, 22 hours it was out with no more estimations after they missed the midnight restoration time. I’m sure they’ll make things right by offering me another seven dollar outage credit (sarcasm).

You people are clearly missing the point, these outages are routine, and the credit isn’t enough to make up for your poor service and customer service. Not to mention ignoring me in the chat the you demand I go into to get me off a public forum setting. Someone from xfinity feel free to reach out to me, you have my contact information.
