Systematic Violations of Service Agreements by Xfinity — Immediate Resolution Required
Dear Xfinity Support Team,
I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding a number of serious and unresolved issues I have experienced with your mobile and internet services. These incidents point either to negligence or a lack of internal coordination within your organization. As a customer, I feel that I am being treated unprofessionally and with disregard.
Below are the detailed issues:
⸻
1. Mobile Line — Misleading Offer with Number Port and Unexpected Charges
I was offered a promotion: one free mobile line for a year, on the condition that I port my existing number. I agreed. I submitted the port request and contacted your support team, but despite my repeated efforts, the number was never ported.
Instead, I later discovered that a new line was created with a completely different number and that I was being charged for it. This clearly violates the original agreement. I was given something I never asked for, charged for it, and my original request was completely ignored. This feels like intentional misrepresentation.
⸻
2. Technician Visit — Violation of Xfinity’s Own Billing Policy
After moving into a new apartment, I connected my rented Xfinity modem, but had no internet. I thoroughly checked all possible connection points — through the wall jack, directly to the panel, rebooted the modem, and did full diagnostics. In the utility panel, I found a device that was not powered on — I turned it on myself and connected directly to it, and also tried going back through the wall jack. Still no internet.
I scheduled a technician. He arrived and repeated exactly the same steps I had done earlier — and then the internet worked. Clearly, the issue was not inside my apartment, but with the upstream connection. However, I was still charged for the visit, even though your official policy clearly states that if the issue is outside the customer’s premises, the visit should be free.
I submitted a support ticket for this charge, and it was closed without any explanation or justification, and not in my favor. That is unacceptable.
⸻
3. Internet Speed Plan — Misleading Promotion and Downgrade
Previously, I had a plan for around $50/month for 300 Mbps. I later switched briefly to AT&T, but then returned to Xfinity. Upon returning, I was placed on a 600 Mbps plan, which was acceptable.
Later, a support agent in chat informed me of a special promotion for 800 Mbps at the same price (~$50/month). I accepted the offer, and I confirmed through speed tests that I was indeed receiving 800 Mbps.
However, some time later, another representative told me that I’m on the 600 Mbps plan and claimed that no 800 Mbps offer was applied or even existed. This makes it seem like I was misled — and now I’m being treated like a fool. That is both offensive and unprofessional.
⸻
4. Personal Modem — Decreased Speeds and Lack of Support
To avoid rental fees, I purchased a compatible personal modem certified for speeds above 600 Mbps. However, I consistently receive only 100–200 Mbps, occasionally 300–400 Mbps in perfect conditions. Support has been completely unable to resolve this issue or offer a clear explanation.
Frankly, it seems like your network is artificially limiting performance on third-party equipment, possibly to pressure customers into renting your hardware again. This is deeply concerning.
⸻
I am requesting the following actions:
1. Full reversal of all charges related to the mobile line and the technician visit, as both are the result of Xfinity’s mistakes.
2. Restoration of the 800 Mbps internet plan, which was offered to me and previously active.
3. A full technical investigation into the reduced speeds with my owned modem.
4. An official explanation regarding the conflicting information from different representatives and the steps Xfinity will take to ensure accountability.
⸻
If these issues are not resolved promptly, I will escalate the matter to the following regulatory bodies:
• FCC (Federal Communications Commission)
• BBB (Better Business Bureau)
• Texas Attorney General – Consumer Protection Division
I expect a written response with concrete resolutions within 7 business days.
Sincerely,[Edited: "Personal Information"]. [Edited: "Personal Information"]

Hello @user_he5pbp, Thank you for taking the time out of your day to leave a post. Sorry to hear about the experience you encountered. We would love to look into things and change your experience around. With the mobile line issue, we can submit a ticket to our executive team to investigate. With the technician visit, when moving to a new location, we do offer the customer the option to do a self-installation, but if a tech is needed to complete the installation, then there is a charge. Here is an article that you can view: Prepare for a service visit. With the promotion that was offered, were you sent a consent form to agree to? We are not able to make changes to the customer account until they review the consent and agree to it via text or email, which includes details of what you are adding and removing. For the issues with the speed, we can take a look and make sure the modem you have is compatible and troubleshoot to get the speed issue corrected. If you could send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you.
To send a Direct Message, please click on the “Direct Message” icon in the top-right corner of the screen, next to the bell icon, click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon, then type or select "Xfinity Support". Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window and press Enter to send your message and initiate a live session.
