Need to send a direct message

Evidently I need to post first before I have the option to send a direct message, so yay.  In case anyone is nosy, the issue is because I'm attempted to add unlimited internet data and am continually met with the

"Sorry, this line of business is not currently available due to a temporary error. Please try again shortly." message every single time no matter what avenue of approach I attempt.  Searching these forums suggested a direct message to Xfinity Support is the best method.  Frankly this has been a very obtuse and frustrating experience.

Direct messaging isn't allowed until an official employee asks you to do so; it's against the Forum Guidelines and the Acceptable Use Policy to send anyone an unrequested DM/PM.  Also note, if you do send one without being asked to do so, it could possibly be ignored.
 
Please post your issue in public in the proper forum so that it can be addressed either by other customers or by an Official Employee.

Thank you

ABunker1 for reaching out

, @Again is correct, we first ask that you post publicly on the correct board, so that it can help others facing similar issues in the future. 

 

For Unlimited Data you may fall under one of the exclusions which include:

The Plan also does not apply to internet provided under Comcast Business accounts or Bulk Internet arrangements. The Plan is not applicable in our Northeast markets, including CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, VA, VT, WV, the District of Columbia, and parts of NC and OH.

Since May 11th, I've had 5 outages.......2 in one day.....affecting TV, Internet and phone. I've unplugged and replugged, modem and TV box and turned my TV off and on a multitude of times. A couple times there was a reported outage that they are working on, sorry for the inconvenience. And here it is, 5/25, and it went out again. My sister at the other end of the same town doesn't have these continuous outages and neither does a friend who lives in another town. If there is something defective in my area FIX IT once and for all. And how about a refund for the times it's been down? This is the worst service I've ever had.

Thank you for reaching out to us here @user_e0o7sh. I know how frustrating any service interruptions can be. If those interruptions are showing on your Xfinity app you can always request an adjustment for the time without service on that app. If you are experiencing a loss of service that is not reported we can look closer at your account from here for you.
