Need a new 'deal' asap or time to seriously look at the current competition!

PLEASE NOTE:

This is a repost from February 2021. Several Comcast employees had responded in private message but did not resolve the matter, and I can not reply to the last employee who took over the conversation and replied to me since this forum had a major makeover this month.

Does Comcast offer senior citizen discounts for its cable TV and Internet services? If not, it really should.

I currently have digital starter with BLAST Internet and three cable boxes. One older X1 box at no monthly charge, and two digital transport adapters, which are now costing an outrageous $6.99 each per month, though originally, they were both free.

I've seen my bill gradually go up to higher than ever before (unacceptable now), and I don't even have HD service yet. I've had bundle deals before that were at a [considerably] lower price and that even included free HBO/HBO On Demand.

I would stay with Comcast but need to lower my bill while adding HD service for one outlet and including free HBO again (if possible).

This conversation is no longer open for comments or replies and is no longer visible to community members.

Thanks for the reply.

Unless I am missing something here, currently, using my laptop, I can not see any way to send a private message. I can see all my previous messages, though the last employee who had replied to me (ComcastJosephW), I can not reply to him to continue messages as a notice comes up in red saying user has opted out of private message.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this is not working for me.

Very noteworthy, a few times in the past, I had used Live Chat (not the robotic assistant), and got much better results, not to mention minus the frustration of messaging and waiting.

I lost the url to where the Live Chat feature is located. Is that feature still around now?

I [mainly] want to avoid making an old school phone call (landline), and be put on indefinite hold (with terrible music playing in the background) or hung up on abruptly while waiting to talk to someone in the so-called 'Customer Loyalty' or 'Customer Retention' Department.

Thanks for all/any help in this specific matter.

We have integrated a new chat feature within this platform and my team can definitely help you in reviewing any available promotions better fitting for your overall needs. With our new Xfinity support chat, you do not need to input the name of a person. Just select Xfinity support and you will be able to speak with the next available specialist. Do you happen to see the message icon in the top right corner of the page? If so, click on the icon and try clicking on the pen and pad icon in order to bring up the "TO:", and then type in Xfinity Support in order to send my team a private chat message.

The url you provided brings up a blank ERROR page.

Xfinity Support has proved to be unhelpful so far regarding a new deal/lowering my bill discussions.

Hey there, @SpindriftUSA

I hate to hear you have been experiencing issues with getting in contact with us. We want nothing more than to be able and help you with reviewing our current promotions. We do need to gather specific private account details to procced.

Please send us a Private Message.

(You’ll get an error if you do so) Once the chat is open, please send us your name, name on the account if different and the full service address in question.

Thanks for the reply.

Previously, after clicking on the message icon, there wasn't any way to reply to the last reply/message, and I wouldn't be sure on what to do if not for mentioning to click on the pen and pad icon. I thank you for that.

I sent the message title and the url for refrence to Xfinity Support. I will see how this goes and reply back here afterwards. Thanks again.
