Told to pay more per month to fix Xfinity's mistake

Dispute Description

Two agents misled me via the Xfinity chat on 7-21. The agent, Gokaran, offered me a price discount and I accepted. The agent failed to inform me during the chat that my internet speed would be lowered from 1Gb to 300Mb. I did not discover this until reading a conformation email two hours later.

I went back to Xfinity chat right away and was informed by the agent, Rajni, that he would cancel the order because "it is still pending." Without my permission, my modem rebooted twice during the chat. I concluded the chat believing the dispute was resolved, but I soon realized that the agent had not canceled the order, but had mistakenly activated it during the chat. After this chat, I logged into my account and realized that Xfinity had reduced my internet speed to 300 Mb. I also verified this by a speed test. Assuming it was a regular cancellation procedure, I waited until the following day and checked once more. My internet speed was still at 300 Mb.

Despite having had over 12 mostly positive conversations, I keep hearing that I'll have to pay $10-$25 more monthly and forfeit my price lock to rectify the deceptive internet price offer and mishandled cancellation request. It is not acceptable to pay extra each month to fix errors and fraud committed by Xfinity agents.

Medicare mistakenly issued a notice to all medical recipients in California, stating that they had automatically re-qualified for the ACP program.
I utilized the Xfinity chat service to verify the notification I received from MediCare and explore the potential to decrease my monthly bill.
On Monday 7-22, I called MediCare and was told the notice was an error.

called/callback on Monday 7-22 @ 4:33 from Xfinity Tech Support 800-934-6489

      I experienced over 36 minutes of frustrating interaction with an
      argent who repeatedly mentioned upgrades and promotions, even after
      being asked to use the word dispute and refusing to do so. He kept 
      insisting that I would have to pay $20 I then spoke to a supervisor. 
      The conversation was identical to the unacceptable solutions offered
      by the first agent.

called on Tuesday 7/23 @ 12:09 AM PST 215-665-1700

Osha - Customer Experience Department

      Osha, in my opinion a very good support representative, listen to my
      dispute, clarified and documented my experience; including names, dates
      and times. 
      Osha said she will escalated my dispute to the "Executive Level".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call back on Tuesday 7-23 @ 1:49 PST 

Tahera - Customer Experience Department

      Tahara called and wasn’t aware of any details of my dispute. She said
      she would need to go over the details of my dispute and investigate.
      Tahara said she call would call back tomorrow and would leave a message
      and a call back number if I don't pick up.
      Tahera Didn't call back.
      Tahara did call back on Wednesday 7-24, after I called Customer Experience
      for a second time. She had no solution to my dispute. Again, repetitious
      mentions of no available plan promotions, instead of addressing my dispute.

call on Wednesday 7-24 @ 2:49 PM PST 215-655-1700 Call time 51m.

Mitch (?) - Customer Experience Department

       This agent was less courteous and less efficient. She reluctantly appended 
       notes to the original escalation that Osha had recorded.

call on Wednesday 7-24 @ 3:54 PM PST 844-335-8719 Call time 1h 33m.

? - The Customer Security Assurance

    I do not recall whom I spoke with. I had called the Fraud Department once
    before concerning a fraudulent offer for mobile services. I was offered a
    free phone, but was billed for it as it was not an offer at the time. The
    department found in my favor and removed the charges from my account.
    I spoke with a woman agent who was very pleasant. She took my dispute
    information and said she would escalate it. I never heard back.

Erbz- Loyalty Department

        Very pleasant, professional agent. He tried very hard to resolve my 
        dispute and get me back to my original internet plan. He could not
        make that happen. I needed to increase my internet speed; could not
        wait any longer. He came up with a package; $80/mo 800 Mb and $40 credit.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
call on Fri. 7/26 @ 1:26 PM PST 888-266-2278 Call time 46 min.

LA (?) – Xfinity Store

      LA (?) After much back and forth came up with similar package to my original
      plan for $80/mo 1Gb.
      Upon receiving text verification, it was $90/mo. I declined the offer.
      She said she would pass it to Technical Repair Team upper management.
