Sent used modem

Why was I sent an old scratched up dirty modem instead of new equipment?

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

Hello, @user_y1rgx1 receiving poor equipment is not the experience we want for our customers. The reason our rental gateways are the best is that you have peace of mind. If anything goes wrong with the gateway, we’ll replace it for you, as opposed to you having to purchase a completely new gateway. You have the option to visit one of our Xfinity Stores to swap equipment that is in poor condition. I can also collect your personal information in a direct message and have one shipped out to you. If you prefer shipping could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? To send a direct message: 

  1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon 
  2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)
  4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

They did the same to me. Unbelievable, that they would pack up a broken used device and send it out to a customer.

Just received a used modem, as well. It’s dirty with weird stains and fingerprints. Parts of it literally look like it has food stuck on it. Gross.
