Not happy

A neighbor across the street had his tree cut and apparently cut a wire which has prevented me from having internet.  This happened Thursday and they can't have a technician out until Sunday. I complained that I work from home and need my high speed internet and there's nothing they can do. Soneine offered a wait list for the next day, but that didn't work. Then another agent, the next day, offered for someone to come within 24 hours stating that they got approval from back office. I called today, Saturday, and got an onshore agent who says that this request was not approved. I've been getting the runaround and false promises.  Then this agent said she will be in contact with with dispatch and hopes to call me back to see if I can be squeezed in. Xfinity does not care that I'm without internet.  All they keep saying is that I can get credited for the days that I've been without internet but that doesn't cover the inconvenience and financial hit of not being able to work from home during this time. This is ridiculous.  Not happy that if something happens to mess up my internet outside of my controller, they will nor be quick to help. I think I'll be switching to Verizon.  Maybe they actually care about their customers

@XfinityGabby​ they put me on that pointless wait list and that didn't work out for me. Nobody canceled so I didn't get them to come earlier. My appointment is scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, but I've been without decent internet since Thursday.  The xfinity Hotspot is not that fast. My kids are complaining about it. I can't get it go hook up to my roku tvs. I work from home and this has been a huge inconvenience but xfinity doesn't care and has made me wait days for assistance.  They make sure to get their money on time from me but when I need their help they make me wait days. Horrible experience

user_bicw8z, I totally understand this is far from ideal, and I can't imagine what you've been going through since your service went down. The waitlist is an alternative, but not a gurantee, but I know that doesn't quite help in your situation. We definitely care and work to get tech visits with the availability in your area. I'd love to work with you more and help turn things around. To get started can you please send me a DM using the instructions in the last message?
