How do i talk to a human being? No texting. No automated assistant. HUMAN BEING

How do I speak with a live human person at this company? The assistant is terrible - does not resolve any issue and gets stuck in an endless loop or disconnects me. It's like Xfinity is actively trying to prevent me from speaking to a human. The phone tree constantly forces me to go to chat or text when all I want to to speak with a human. It's 2024 - how do I talk to a human?

bseblgrl3, Hi there! Thanks for taking the time out of your Tuesday to contact XFINITY over our forums page to seek help from a human being. As a customer myself, I love being able to speak with someone when I can't use digital options for help. I'm sorry to learn that we have made you feel this way. You've come to the right team of experts over social media who can help with a resolution. To get started, would you mind providing some more details of whats going on so we can help?

I've been a customer for 2 months and it's bee the most frustrating 2 months of recent memory. My current issue is that you've charged me for the same one-time fee two months in a row. I've tried accessing my bill via the app - but the billing tab has not been loading for 2 months. (It also fails to load in most browsers.) Trying to seek help from the Assistant, I've wasted about 2 hours this morning in an endless loop, tried calling this morning only to be disconnected TWICE - the phone tree keeps forcing me to the texting system even though it says it's a "two minute" wait to speak to a human, yet I'm unable to wait on the line to actually speak to someone. To say I'm frustrated is the understatement of the year. [UPDATE] As I was typing this I got a call back from the nicest agent who immediately understood my issue and resolved it for me. It MUST be easier to get to a human. AI is fine for those who prefer not to interact with a human, but for those who prefer to speak to a person or whose issue can't be resolved through automated means, the system needs to be able to respond to those like me screaming into the phone "agent!" "customer service!"

I've found that the website has an issue with cookie bloat, where attempting to access the site too often will make it fail to load until you clear all cookies for the website. I recently saw it had over 60 MB of cookies in the cache, which is quite frankly, completely unnecessary, and clearing them fixes the issue. It manifests on the billing page first, but does eventually extend to the whole thing.

The billing page will also fail to load if there's any hiccups, slowdowns, or disruptions in your internet, because Xfinity has a great sense of irony.

@XfinityGabriel​ I have been on the phone trying to call and talk to a person. I have been texting an Efinity tech and still can not talk to a human. Everyone on my street is asking if they should switch. [Edited: "Solicitation"].

bseblgrl3, Thanks for sharing these details. We appreciate you for your time spent on this and for your business over the past 2 months. This is certainly not the experience that we like to hear about. We will do all that we can to turn this around. I am happy you have reached out to us as we are the best place to go for help when you are not able to speak with a person over the phone or receive a solution with our digital options. Have you tried accessing the website and the app on more than one device? If not, are you able to try another device to see if you experience the same issue?

I am trying to speak with a live human being from xfinity billing. I don't care about outages, or storms, or service issues. I MUST speak with a LIVE representative for billing,, today. Why is xfinity afraid to answer the phone? There is no zero out option, the automated system keeps hanging up on me when I request a live billing agent, there is no "to speak with a customer service representative please stay on the line or press "nine" now." Nothing. I shall never do business with your company again, after this nonsense. But, before I shut down my account, I MUST SPEAK WITH A LIVE HUMAN BEING IN BILLING. How can I do this???

We are right here to help my friend. Not sure what is hindering you from reaching someone over the phone. Our main support phone number is 1-800-934-6489. I just called the line myself to ensure it was working, I reached and was speaking to someone within 46 seconds.

@user_xf8vb5 Hi there! That is one of our support number, and you may see it written as 1-800-Xfinity typically. 1-800-Comcast also works which is 1-800-266-2278. However, if there's anything that you need assistance with, I am very happy to help you here on our Xfinity forums as well!

@XfinityThomasB​ [Edited: "Inflammatory"]. It is impossible to talk to a live agent. Billing or TV. Maybe Internet.

I totally agree with bseblgrl3.  Comcast customer service (I.e, talk to a dumb robot) is a sham. Please make real people available. You are about to lose me as a customer, despite my having been with you for over two decades. Shame on  Comcast/ Infinity. ATT??

@user_mj0pbt This is definitely not the way we'd like our customers to spend their morning. I would be more than happy to assist you. How may I help you today?
