Moving and transfering service

I am moving from MA to PA and trying to get my service transferred.  The website tries to force me to select a new plan and upon online chat/assistance they said they would take care of it.  The online chat said that I had a discounted router which prevented me from doing in online and sends me an email link to approve the transfer. I click the link and read the details to find out it was for a new with a new 24 hour contract.  

I reminded the that I simply wanted to transfer it (1 year remaining) but I was told because it was a different state so I would have to select a new plan.  The new plan is more money and less channels than I am currently paying and would lock me into a longer contract.  I asked if I would incur a cancellation fee in that case if they cannot honor my contract and was told I would have a cancellation fee.  The agent retorted that I wouldn't have internet or tv after the year... implying that the 2 year contract was doing me a favor.  I pushed back that I would explore my options at that time and the agent effectively disconnected and "hung up" on me.

I am still not satisfied with the lack of solutions on this issue and being strong armed into renewing a lesser policy for more money or having to pay a cancellation fee because Comcast cannot honor my existing contract.

And here I am back again, beyond furious of how Xfinity handles customer support.  I ended up moving and going with Xfinity, signed a new 2 year contract.  Moved with my equipment and dropped it off at the local store to pick up the equipment for my new account.  The agent at the store was confused as to why I couldn't transfer my existing service.  None the less I moved on.... or so I thought.

I recently received a bill charging me $120 early termination fee on my previous account.  The whole issue I argued and should have avoided since I ended up signing a new 2 year contract at my current address.  A termination fee for a service that Xfinity could not honor.  A termination fee that I inquired about and was told would not be charged if I signed a 2 year contract when I moved.  A termination fee that was automatically billed due to autopay.  A termination fee that was forced on me despite using the proper channels of Xfinity's website to coordinate a move and was NEVER warned or told about when processing my order.

@user_5567db I hate to hear that you were charged an early termination fee. You shouldn't have been since you've kept service with us, and I'll be happy to take care of this for you. 

 

I sincerely regret you've experienced so much trouble with the transfer. Could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address?

 

 "Search for Xfinity Support" won't work. To send a "Direct Messaging" message to Xfinity Support:

 

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary

 

 

  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon

 

  • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there

 

  • - As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list

I no longer work for Comcast.
