I wasted two hours with the online chat via facebook still can't get an agent

Why can't I get an agent to talk too to understand if affinity is really going to fix the network in my area.

I am trying to understand whether after all the years with you it is time to jump ship to another internet service provider in my area.

Your total lack of customer service has me almost there regardless.

This outages and we are working on it is occurring every few days.

There is no fix apparently.

There is no proper communication with folks that have been with you for years.

Apparently you do NOT want any customers in this area. 

The forum is full of basically the same rants.

Why are you not addressing it?

I will be cancelling my service in the very near future.

user_0flre5, Hi! Thanks for reaching out. I know how important it is to have your services working correctly as I depend on my services for my job. I am so sorry to learn about this experience and that we have made you feel this way. We will surely miss your business. You've come to the right place. Over social media, we are a great group of experts that specialize in providing solutions to service concerns. We can help. One great option for monitoring your services for interruptions is by using our Digital Status Center. This is great for troubleshooting, checking the connection status of your equipment, and for checking on the status of a service interruption more easily. Here is a link to our Digital Status Center here. You will want to sign in with your XFINITY ID and password at the welcome page. This option is also a great way to make sure you receive a credit for the interruption. How are your services currently working for you?

your automated responses and sales pitches are not helpful. Gabriel I spent two ours with the chat agents on facebook chat via LTE/5G. And they end it with a sales pitch for Xfi. ....

When is the network in [Edited: "Personal Information"] going to be stable like it was for the first number of years I was with XFINITY.

When am I actually going to get a response to my original question which I assume would be in the service chat that I started about 12 local time here.

My network is going out every day or every other day since late August.

The automated responses are always the same we have an agent working on it and it will be back soon.

My question is simple is Xfinity serious about servicing this area of Richmond, TX or we should all find another provider?

If you have network work to do when will it be completed so the network is stable for weeks at a time outside of short switch over time to backup routers that should be in place in any network.

Surely you have business customers (at least your advertising part keeps sending me invites for a non-existent business.

my service address is [Edited: "Personal Information"] and that should be all you need to find out all the service outages since late August.

All of which I can't get bill credit for since they are labelled as maintenance.

Gabriel I get all of the status text on when network is down and when it is up.

I have never received an automated credit.

I tried to request one for today's outage and it was refused.

Also I would be happy to give my address, account, phone number, email on the phone to an agent but it is impossible to get an agent with xfinity. The facebook chat I supplied all of that and basically the chat was terminated after 2 hours and disappeared from my phone since the agent closed it apparently.

okay I'm over there but no answer and I'm assuming just another waste of chat time.... Just like the forum and just like the facebook xfinitychat area and the xfinityassistant is just another barrier/hurdle to prevent any tracking or take responsibility.

No response on the direct message xfinity support chat. I guess they are waiting for the network to go down so that window closes.

"I've been traded messages with Gabriel in the Support forum and then a prior agent in the facebook xfinitychat server. 3:43pm"

I added my full address, name, phone number, and email on the direct message chat.

It is now 3:54pm

now 4:09 and no response not even a welcome message.

finally a response at 4:15 but have to start over apparently since the agent can't see everything I typed in already.

We absolutely are not attempting to waste your time in any fashion. Information related to service interruptions on our end would traditionally be the same information available to customers via the Xfinity Status Center.

Now it is 4:30pm still trying to get the agent to find my account. Not sure what the delay is. Now pulled up the paper bill and given them my wife's name even though I am listed as primary online. It is about 10 minutes between replies from the agent. Obviously handling more than one chat window.

Now 5:00 and still trying to get my account verified. Waiting for the agent to send me a code.
