How do I speak to an actual person?

The 1-800-XFINITY number goes in circles. It said “you can speak to a live agent at any time” then would not transfer me to a live agent. Absolutely abysmal customer service. Xfinity assistant is even worse. I had an appointment set up for a technician visit, confirmed the visit, then get a message the appointment was cancelled?? How do you speak to an ACTUAL person. Whoever is in charge of Xfinity’s customer service should be fired.

Same as the below comments. The one of 5 calls I was able to get to a real person and was making some progress was without warning dropped. I am afraid I lost a few times with the robo, a completely out of my mood, with sweet young woman's voice. I swore at her after I was clearly not going to get to a real CSR. Sick and tired to the point where after many years I am getting ready to drop their services. Not worth the non-existent real person customer service. Disgusting.

Unbelievable HORRIBLE SERVICE.  tried every way to talk to a person.  The assistant and chat does not have the question I need help with and NO WAY TO TALK TO A LIVE PERSON.  when I wait on phone to get to live agent it hangs up because I do not fit in their box.      Contract will end I will CANCEL after 40 years of being a customer.   Lots of other options to make getting what should of been a 2 minute call.  including this chat I've spent 35 minutes in this loop

When you get around to answering this, here is my question in a more detailed manner: How do I speak on the phone (not over text) to an actual human being without having to go through time consuming troubleshooting steps each time? I do not need to turn my gateway off and on for the 10th time today, I need to speak to an actual person. It would help too, if I could tell them what I need over the phone so I wouldn’t have to waste literal HOURS of my time and theirs over this incredibly ridiculous online platform…

I would like the answer to this question as well.  Sometimes you know the question is too complicated for the assistant and need to talk to a live agent (on the phone), and it is almost to get them to switch you to a real person (despite repeatedly saying that you can request a live agent at any time).  Is there a magic phrase you can say to the bot that will trigger them to get a live agent.  Today I finally got one after repeating live "agent now" for about 10 minutes.  This is super frustrating.

My Ethernet port is non functional,  dipspit virtual assistant has restarted and tested my modem a minimum of 6 times.  Just goes in circles.  No option to speak to someone or something with actual intelligence, the artificial is dumber than a box of rocks. Time to find a new provider!!!  Not the only game in town.

@stuckey419 Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on out Xfinity Forums. I understand the frustration if you haven't been able to reach an agent and the troubleshooting steps aren't changing. We are here to help! Just to clarify, are you trying to use both Ethernet ports? Are you attempting to connect a stand-alone router? Or are you just using one port and trying to connect a device via Ethernet? Also, can you confirm if you are using an Xfinity gateway or your own modem? If it is your own modem, can you please confirm the make/model for me?

I am in the same situation.  I keep getting told to go through the troubleshooting steps, which is impossible when the issue is that you have no connection.  Can an actual person please respond so I can explain why this has happened and also to schedule an appointment for a technician to come to my house?

Hello, @user_tj4jrl how are you? Hopefully all is well. To work with us live on a call you will always want to call 1-800-XFINITY (1-800-934-6489) and follow the prompts. As mentioned you can also follow the prompts using the Xfinity Assistant. It can take some time and patience, but our teams on the phone are in position to help. We always appreciate your willingness to work with us.  https://www.xfinity.com/xfinityassistant

 

We will also do all we can to support you on Xfinity Forums! Feel free to create a public post for support.

@XfinityJosephA​ Xfinity phone bot does NOT let you reach real people. It hangs up on you and tries to dump you on the AI chat which is equally useless. Xfinity needs to get a real customer service number if it wants to keep customers.

@XfinityJosephA​ why can't you just answer the question.  your customers need to speak to a LIVE agent.  The phone # you gave does not allow this.  So please give us a number to reach a live agent.

user_7av3q7 The phone number provided of 1-800-XFINITY would be the only support number we can offer. You may need to navigate through the prompts, which can take a little patience, but you should be able to reach a live agent who can help. Alternatively, you can also recieve help from live agents via our Xfinity Assistant or if you would like to create a public post detailing your concerns, our team is here to help 365 days a year from 6 AM - 1 AM Eastern time!

The quickest way I've seen to get anyone on the line is to say you're going to cancel service.

They are liars and thieves. They won't let you talk to a person so they can get away with it

Text 266-278 “On it” and it will prompt you to select what you need help with out of 3 options. Go from there and they will give you a call within a few minutes.

I just followed that advice and I did end up with a 'chat'session, finally! While it was tedious with the back-and-forth, the person I dealt with was patient and after at least 20 minutes of going back-and-forth I did get some satisfaction. Which was, when I signed up to XFINITY on my TV, I was told they were going to fold the NETFLIX charge into the Xfinity bill. To the best of my recollection there was not a chance to object I was just told by XFINITY it was gonna be folded in. So I'll imagine my surprise when it was folded in only for the per month charge of $24.99, when previously I was paying around seven dollars a month!!. As indicated after a tedious chat I did get it removed from that and other bills. Hope this helps.

Looking for a new provider this moment as this is the worst customer service I have experienced in my 77 years of living when it's their fault but I have to check. 2 months I have received messages that my autopay has failed and they were cancelling it, when in fact it has not failed. This month autopay was paid on 2/20 and my message came 2/28.

I don’t know if this will be helpful to anyone as far as talking to a real human being but I got on today (after dealing with chat and AI chat for over an hour - useless). Called the main number 1-800-xfinity and kept saying “no” every time the chatbot asked a question. Didn’t even let it finish most questions. Several times tried to route me to other departments like bill pay and automated chat but I just kept saying “no”. In a little less than 4 minutes I the AI gave up and put me through to an actual human being. Granted, still annoying process but a lot better than over an hour.

I have been running around in circles trying to get ahold of someone too, this is so frustrating. Their customer service is absolute trash and infuriating because they force you to talk to a bot that can't even get you to a customer service rep. Like way to set your CSRs up for failure, now that I'm raging at a bot I'm sure I'll be pleasant once I finally get a real individual to talk to????

The thing is that this is just going to get worse. Less live agents and the increase of AI to take and answer calls. This is unfortunate especially since the app really is restricted as to what you can actually do with your account. I spent 30 minutes just trying to pause my account since I'm moving and there wasn't a situation that quite fit what I needed.
