ESCALATION

Hi, I have Xfinity internet since July 2024. I live in a 2-story home. All devices in the 1st floor are able to connect to the WiFi, however none of the devices in the 2nd floor is able to connect or receive signal.

I called multiple times and finally an agent recommended to do a WiFi assessment, and based on they he created a ticket to ship an extender pod to boost the internet signal in the 2nd floor. He said I should receive the pod in 2-3 days. I wasted 1-hr of my time on this call.

I am paying for the highest speed and I chose the unlimited plan that cover the modem rentals assuming Xfinity will provide the right equipment to receive the best service. So, my plan covers the price for the extender pod.

It has been 9 days and I didn’t receive any update. I called to follow up, where I wasted another 1-hr of my time. The representative told me that Xfinity made another assessment and decided that the signal is strong enough so no need for an extender. Of course when they made the assessment the devices at that time was already in the 1st floor, so it was a false assessment that concluded misleading results.

I asked to escalate, I was forwarded to another agent in the loyalty where I wasted another 30-min without any success, she recommended to transfer me back to the technical support team that I was just speaking with before her. I asked to speak with a supervisor, after I was put on the phone for 15-min she told me no supervisor is available and took my phone to have someone call me. 

The call ended and I am expecting someone will call to address my issue, then I received a notification that my ticket is closed.

My wife, three children, and I are working from home. My video calls with executives consistently drop because of Xfinity bad service, we have a large house but all of us are forced to work from the 1st floor because Xfinity is cheap, not willing to provide a pod that is already covered in my plan. 

I need to cancel my service and look for another provider but before that I need a refund for the bills II paid without a service. It should be enough that I am writing this complaint on my phone internet which is only working because it is not from Xfinity.

Just updating the post here, I reached out over direct message, and after wasting more hours, received a different response than the misleading message here. I didn’t learn my lesson and expected a bare minimum of customer service
