Ipad offer [Edited]

My internet / cable bill was going up $50! So I called customer service to try to get it lowered. They somehow made me sign up for a free iPad with free unlimited data! I found out that they were reducing my internet speed therefore reducing the price of my package then adding the cost of the iPad to my monthly bill! I am elderly I do not need an iPad as I have all Samsung products anyway! I have no way of canceling this now! How horrible of Xfinity to take advantage of a senior person

Hello! You can return the iPad at any time within 14 days of receiving it. If the agent told you that the iPad would lower your internet cost, or the mobile line would be free to, let us know, so we can get that reported. You cannot get a discount on your cable bill by signing up for a new smartwatch or tablet line.

Yes he insisted it was free and it would lower my bill. I asked him repeatedly "it's free"?? He said yes every time, I said what's the catch? No catch he said. I have been dealing with this for 3 days now. Very upsetting.  Pull my records, there should be notes, alot of notes.  At one point someone shut my internet off....I panic, I have medical equipment hooked up using the internet. Horrible horrible situation..... all I wanted to do was find out why my bill was going to increase and get it lowered.

And now whatever they did i no longer can get the 800 mb speed. I received a new modem and it's still slow. Whatever they did to give me the free ipad they lowered my speed to 500 and now i barely get 268 according to the speed test. This person that set this up should be fired. Now I need to be home for a repair person to come. These are the holidays I don't have time for this.

Now they have charged me on my credit card and I got notification of my next bill due. This is horrible.  The guy said repeatedly this is free. I never received the iPad either. What a scam. I really hope they pull the call and find out who this person was.
