need my landline phone turned back on

I am being set up with a new plan, as my current plan will expire next month. It took me explaining and talking with 3 maybe even 4 agents before I finally got an agent to finish and start a ticket and send an email for me to agree to the plan.

The first 2 put me on hold and dropped me.

They didn't call me back. I called back each time and got new rep who could not find the previous notes as the ticket wasn't formed. 

Finally, an agent stayed with me and I decided to drop my lsndline phone to save money. WHAT I didn't know, and wasn't told, was they would almost immediately  shut my service off for the phone. I was prepaid for a month, so assumed the new plan would start when current one ended, but forgot to ask. So later that day, I tried to use my phone and it was dead.

I panicked, because I wasn't yet prepared, after being with Comcast for 40 years  and a landline phone. So I began trying to get an agent to restart the phone. I finally got someone, and she worked a new plan, but said she was turning me over to the tech department have the phone

reconnected. She did not finish with the ticket, so no sign that I agreed to plan and she dropped me, hung up on me.

It was a nightmare for 2 more days. I finally got another agent, (3rd plan ), She worked a plan and did the email for me to confirm and agree. Sooo, she said the phone would be turned back on within 2 to 3 days. I am in my 80s, my husband has bad health and no phone now except a cell phone, that I can't navigate like you young people, I I have tried to get through to someone to please expedite the reconnection. That last agent was e days ago, still not connected. The phone should not have been turned off without discussing when it would happen, since it was prepaid for another month.

It has taken me 5 days to get through this start a new plan thing. Someone please advise and help us.

Thank you

Please help me.

No, my issue was not fixed or discussed. I asked help in getting my landline phone turned back on, which should not have been turned off without my knowledge of when, etc.

The agent asked for my phone numbers and email verification, as if he was going to address and possible fix the problem.

It was a waste of my time, as he concluded that my service was a good plan and gave me an incorrect amount on what my new service plan would cost.

So, I'll be back on phone tomorrow for the excruciating ordeal of day # 6 trying to get an agent that will "fix" the issue.

Is there no one with this company that has any authority or competence?

Did you totally misunderstand my issue?

And then upset me more by quoted an amount almost double for my new plan,

that is not correct.

I should not have relied on you to have any authority to get my phone service turned back on.
