Hour and a half sales pitch and our issue was not resolved!

Our internet is down and we work from home so cannot work meanwhile so we live chatted with, Dhruv, at Xfinity and he kept us on the line nearly an hour and a half all while saying he was checking the modem but trying to convince us to lower our internet cost by accepting a free iPad. He was quite pushy and when we finally said we weren’t interested and just wanted our internet fixed, he promptly ended the live chat! No Internet, and a wasted evening on a sales pitch. VERY frustrating!

Sorry to hear about your experience while trying to get technical assistance @user_a7c705, I know I'd be pretty annoyed if someone was steady trying to push things on me without addressing my concerns.

Have you verified that you are not in an active service interruption? 

You can view the service interruption by logging into your Xfinity App it would automatically be displayed at the top or you can also check on the status by clicking on https://www.xfinity.com/support/status.

The app says there are no interruptions. Both our modem and router are completely dead (after a storm Sunday night) so we are trying to hook up a new one but the modem isn’t connecting to anything.

I called xfinity first thing this morning and was told someone was available to text chat with me so after getting the initial text I waited nearly 20 minutes and no one replied so I called back once again and got a wonderful employee named Dave who walked me through trying to set up the modem to no avail and then he scheduled a technician to come out this afternoon! Hopefully that is actually correct! He was so very helpful and I greatly appreciated someone actually working to resolve the issue. Please let me know if I should still contact someone as you stated above. Thank you!

The technician was able to repair our internet issue - apparently there was a lightening strike to the splitter and this explains the modem and router being dead. So appreciative the appt had been set up so quickly for us by Dave!
