Misled by Xfinity
Misled by Xfinity. I called in on 1/6/2024 to ask if there was any way to lower my Internet bill. I was told if I "bundled" internet and mobile service,, my internet would go down to $35 per month. So I agreed. I left TMOBILE (who I had been with for 20 years) to get this discount.
Before I activated my mobile service on 1/26/2024, I received my internet bill on 1 /10/2024, and it had Increased from $67.90 to $71.90. I called in and spoke to a representative and was told this was a plan increase that "happens from time to time". My discounted rate will begin once I had been with my mobile service for 1 month.
So, i waited until after my 1st month, and I called Xfinity again on February 22, 2024, at 5:52pm and was on the phone for 47mins. After being transferred again and again, I finally spoke to a man who, first tried to sell me a new phone, then a new I-Watch. I told him to stop trying to sell me stuff, I just needed my plan straightened out. Then he said, he could see that the $35 would take effect in March.
Then here comes the March statement and it is still, $71.90. It takes forever to get a human on the phone with Xfinity, and then when you do, they speak with a heavy accent (English is not their main language) and they have a hard time understanding. Tonight, I spoke to a female "Arie" and all could tell me is that I agreed to the increase in my internet bill on 1/6/204 when I added mobile service and there was no discount of $35. She told me that is what she saw on her end. I told her, I did not agree to that and I asked her, does that make sense that a person would agree to do that? She told me that is what she saw, and I should look through my emails to fiind to find the one that was sent to me. WHAT?
So, I asked if there are any plans for existing, loyal customers. I have been with Comcast/Xfinity for 30 + years. There are always ads on TV for promotions. I was told there are no plans for current customers. Only NEW CUSTOMERS. She could not help me since I agreed to increase my internet bill. I asked if I was locked in to a specific amount of time for this increase. She said, No I could change or cancel at any time. I had been on the phone with her for almost 40 minutes, so I ended the call.
FRUSTRATED AND MAD. I would have never have gone through the hassle of changing mobile service unless I was going to get a significant monthly discount.

After a Xfinity assistant working with me, I received the same outcome. There was no promotion at that time for existing customers. There was nothing that could be done for me. I have been a customer with Comcast/Xfinity since they began here in the Atlanta area. However, there are only promotions for NEW CUSTOMERS.
**FYI if you think you are signing up for a promotion, make sure you get it in writing and KEEP the email. I canceled mobile phone service and found a wonderful deal with the plan I was with before.
