How to Speak to an Actual Support Person at Xfinity

XFINITY TIP - WHEN NEEDING ASSISTANCE

If you have ever tried to get through to an actual human being for assistance with Xfinity, you probably have found that it is impossible. Here are two tricks:

OPTION 1:

1) Log onto your Xfinity account online, go to Support (https://www.xfinity.com/support/contact-us), and start a chat via Xfinity Assistant.

2) Click on Troubleshooting > Account > Manage Plan > Cancel My Plan > One of My Services > Schedule a Callback.

They seem to only want to talk to people that are threatening to cancel their plan.

OPTION 2:

Send a Text Message to 266-278. Enter "HELP" or "CALL BACK". Send the message.

For either option, after completing some additional information, a miracle will occur - a living, breathing person will call you!!!

i am the Xfinity customer who is a loyal customer and [Edited: "Inflammatory"], they depend too much  on the chat box and lean heavily, so no customer complaints are taken to the human interface to make decision. There is no way to call the live customer service and speak to. 

1800-934-6489. Please contact this number, and they will help you with everything you need! is an useless phone number programmed to take only customer cell number, validates customer account number and do not give any information except for outage and also gives option for text or reply. This is the automation they have done which they think serve the customer. It limits refund for outage for only 2 incidents. If you have 5 incidents in a month. You get reimbursed for only $10 for 2 incidents.

SLA  AND REFUND/CLAIM :

So this is violation of SLA from customer service provider.  Customer still have to tolerate additonal incidents over and above 2 incidents example. I have 5 incidents happening a month due to service interruption. You get reimbursed for only 2 incidents. This is how it is working currently You cannot claim more than 2 incidents. This is how it has been designed

This is not the way to run customer service business. It is a disaster and neglects human side of the factor. you cant even escalate . I normal business customer service when they complaint  they have a service request number and  you have documentation , in Xfinity the practice is not there, with out a service request number. hence lacks accountability and responsibility. It is taking customer for granted. It is a technical, functional issue in the business of IT. No incident are being recorded when customer request AI chat box assistant.

You talk to machines which just updates the data through AI/ML chatbot.  Xfinity customer service is degrading, soon they will notice customer leave due to poor availability, poor customer service, highly unreliable and violation of SLA.  In june 2025 that is today june 26'th. I have more than 5 outages in this month with atleast 6 hours one day and several hourly outages in peak hours and non peak hours.  I did not get the Service request number (ECM number} so far. Hence front end and back end of customer service process is very bad. This is with experience i am talking. Please escalate the issue and have a live person talk to me. I live in 5423 switch grass lane, Naperville, IL,  This is the story of a hapeless loyal customer. I definitely need to see any alternative better in that area as customer service [Edited: "Language"] and no one to attend to. This is a perfect case of neglect to cultivate loyal customer. I am very disappointed as customers are taken for granted and no feedback loop.

No service request number for the incident or issue, no responsibility and accountability. This is the 4'th person in 2 hours.  Sorry to say the system does not work in the business of customer service. No actual service to help, no live customer that you can speak to, Poor availability of internet service, Highly Unreliable, Poor customer service, lack of quality, Lack of system process, Utter neglect of customer that i am experiencing. Customer should not be put into this position by any service provider. Sorry to say this is happening.

I think as customer service, you need to own the responsibility and accountability. You need to set the customer service and expectations right. This is not the way to silence the customers. Ultimately copany as a whole will lose because of your poor customer service and no interface to human factor. You dont realize customer frustration , lack of availability. In this day and age if you dont give service high availability, customer service. The company is going to go down if you dont improve. You should listen to customer feedback if you want to improve and you should not mask by saying or covering up with your ethics etc. This is not right.  Please make every effort to help customer not an AI assistant will solve customer problem. You dont have decent Service request number to process customer service and you dont have accountability and responsibility as you dont have documentation about the incident to track and hence you ignore. Hence your customer service Sucks!. I agree with all like minded  loyal customer. You need to improve seriously. You are violating SLA.

NOT TRUE. I can’t get any help AT ALL because their stupid automated system can’t let anyone talk to a human. They keep saying that my service is out due to a power outage + the power has been restored for 3+ hours. I don’t think they know that the power was out because a power line caught fire + melted. The power company came + replace their lines but I don’t think Xfinity even knows it happened. The automated system keeps telling they can’t put me in touch with an agent due to the power outage. The power is on + let’s not kid ourselves - the call is going to India anyway. WHY CAN I NOT TALK TO A FREAKING HUMAN????? So that I can let someone know that they probably need to send a technician out to check the melted lines. 

UGH. WISH I HAD OTHER SERVICE OPTIONS - XFINITY YOU SUCK.
