New Customer Service Failure: 4 No-Shows and 2 Weeks Without Internet

am writing this because I am beyond frustrated and frankly shocked at the level of service I’ve received as a brand-new customer. I signed up for service and was promised an installation last Saturday. It has been a downhill experience ever since:

Saturday (initial apt): Tech arrived but stated they were missing a part or equipment. Promised to return Monday.

Monday: No-show. I called and was rescheduled for Thursday.

Thursday (today): No-show again. I called and was assured someone would be there between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM.

Thursday evening: Once again, no one arrived. After calling back, I am now being told I have to wait until next Monday.

I have already paid my initial fees and fulfilled every requirement on my end. I cancelled my previous provider based on the Saturday promise, and now my household has been without internet for nearly two weeks. This is not just an inconvenience; it is a major issue for my son, who attends online school and is currently unable to do his work.

I have cleared my schedule and waited around my house for three separate days only to be stood up and lied to by customer service. I want to be a customer, but at this point, I feel like I’m begging for a service I’ve already paid for.

I need this escalated to a supervisor immediately. I want a firm installation date that will actually be honored and a credit to my account for the time lost and the repeated no-shows. Does Xfinity actually want my business, or should I take my refund and go elsewhere?

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to post your concern to our Xfinity Community Forum. I do apologize for the delay of service installation to your home. It sounds like your location has never been serviced by Xfinity before. Internet installation delays to new locations can typically occur due to necessary infrastructure work, such as digging or running new lines, pending municipal permits, or high demand for technician appointments in the area. Our local technician team should have kept you apprised of the situation, and informed you of possible delays. 

 

Have you received any indication from our local team that additional work may be needed to get your services up and running?
