Poor Xfinity Service

is anyone else having an issue with being forced to deal with the Chatbot who doesn’t understand concerns or human interaction? 

I think this company is disgusting in their efforts to be avoidant of actual interactions with their customers, including for outages, complaints, or billing issues. The only way to speak to a human is when you want to buy new service. 

I think for a company to sell to humans they should have humans to interact with. 

Is the chatbot worked, I would not had to search around for over an hour trying to speak to a person, to not only go over another outage and services issues, but billing issues too. But their brilliant AI generated chatbot, forced me into a loop to hang upon me and advise that I will not be able to speak to anyone even about my billing issue until they restored my service. And their chatbot told me I’m not eligible for a credit for a planned outage that happened five minutes before they took my Internet out during a workday. 

Shame on Xfinity and their poor customer service model.

@XfinityGabby if you’re a real person, don’t get offended, but I just tried the steps and no response yet. Which is why I’m convinced that all interactions are chatbots.

I've been trying for two days to get to speak with someone regarding disappearing email folder and have experienced the same frustration as you have. I don't even have this "Direct Message" icon in the upper right corner of any page. There are 6 icons, all of which are selling you one of their products. Chatbox is absolutely useless. Wasted countless time trying to work through the options that are not even close to being relevant to the problem. I've had Comcast email for over 20 years. I think it's time to change.

user_r2f7pt, Hi! Thanks for taking the time out of your day to reach out to XFINITY. I can how important it is to not have your emails disappear as I rely on my emails for important communication.

@user_r2f7pt​ I agree it is time for a change. While you may get some interaction here, you may get left for the next few hours chasing a chat and a resolution here as well.  After I posted this, I spent the next 2 1/2 hours being looped through automated chats, before I finally got a person When I requested to cancel.  Someone had time then. 

good luck!

Another update. After a very brief and time consuming chat that took over 2 hours just to get verified, Gabby never came back. 

She said she was a real person…. So guess I got what I asked for. 

No resolution. Xfinity customer service is a joke.

I feel the same way.  I HATE being forced to 'chatting via TEXT'; particularly when I am having ongoing and complicated problems with my internet.  I have found that the only way to speak to a human is to tell the 'auto attendant':  'Cancel Account'. Then, a representative answers the phone. HOWEVER, when the representative answers the phone, it will be very unlikely that you can understand their foreign accent.   It is also extremely frustrating that Comcast trains both their Chat and Live representatives to say phrases like:  'Don't worry!'  'I understand' 

Comcast is too narrow-minded to realize that the money they save by hiring foreign representatives, is lost by the poor service and inability to speak and be understood by them and their accents.

Unfortunately, Comcast is the only 'internet provider' in my area. Otherwise, I would cancel amount in a heartbeat.  It is easy to see and understand why Comcast has the absolute worst service of any company in the United States.
