Obnoxious sales attempt during technical issues phone call
And this is an example of why I've been seriously considering dumping Comcast or Xfinity or whatever they're calling themselves these days, after many years and going with a different fiber optics company: I spent a half an hour on the phone with somebody about intermittent Internet outages. The entire time the rep simply tried to upsell me on changing to a higher speed and going with an Xfinity modem. Without doing any checking and based on no information she blamed my modem, which I know from experience is the company's default position. Sell sell upsell upsell upsell, never mind the actual issue. I finally was able to get an appointment for a technician to stop by. It took him 20 minutes to assess that the problem was an external splitter that had worn out. He replaced this Xfinity equipment in my signal stabilized. The company's internet service is already too expensive but clearly they do not [Edited: "Language"] about customers and clearly their phone Representatives have simply been given the mandate to sell sell. [Edited: "Inflammatory"]

I just had the same experience the other day! The "tech" blamed my modem and tried to get me to use a Xfinity modem, then tried to upgrade my service, and finally add a phone line. I said no to everything and he kept asking why I didn't want all this "free" stuff. I'm sure there was a catch but wasn't staying online with him wasting my time. He never resolved the intermittent issue I was having, again, same issue, same experience.

I love that they edited my comment because I said the company "doesn't give a____ about customers" and in place of the ____ used the word for that big thing that holds back water and added an "n" at the end of the word. Such delicate creatures, these Comcast / Xfinity people.

I’m getting that same experience right now. The phone rep didn’t even address my issue at all. Just tried to upsell me. I finally had to hang up on him. They didn’t care about my problem at all. Just tried to get me to buy more and add a line which I don’t want
