Tom Karinshak, President and Chief Customer Experience Officer

Just wondering if your intended customer service experience is to force me to use your xfinity chat that WONT direct me where I need to go.  Or bounce me around touch tone service without ever giving me an option to speak to a human.  You've got the worst experience possible.  I have chronic service interruption that lasts between 5 to 30 minutes and occurs between 1 and 3 times in a 24 hour period.  None of your "troubleshooting" recognizes there's even an issue.  Your assistance and your touchtone phone service refuses to advance my call to a person.  On your Linkdin you list your specialties as follows. 

Specialties:
Leadership and Team Development
Diversity and Inclusion
Journey Led Strategy Development
Technology and Tool Innovation
Customer and Employee Experience Focus
Customer Loyalty and Retention
Sales/Member Acquisition
Profit and Loss Responsibility
Execution Focused
International/Global Operations Leadership
Marketing Strategy
Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Outsourcing/3rd Party Vendor Management
Program/Project Management

I took the liberty to highlight the specialties you've shown abject failure in establishing as a company wide experience.  Your faith in your inept AI chat bot and touchtone phone service is appalling.  Even further you only give the options to tag a comment for customer compliments, but nothing for complaints.  You're tone death and the level of frustration as a customer I've experienced in an attempt to try to resolve my issue is nothing short of infuriating.  Metronet is being installed in my neighborhood as we speak.  I dont care if it costs me double to use their service.  The moment it becomes available in the coming months I will leave Xfinity and join them.  I dont care the cost, the fees or what ever other hurdle you put in my way.  Your lack of leadership has lead to a company wide systemic issue of poor customer service and care.

Irratatedandwithdrawn thank you for using the Xfinity Community Forums page to reach out today. I understand that you have experienced service interruptions, and we would be more than happy to assist. Can you elaborate a bit more on this service issue in particular as I am not seeing it specified whether this is tied to internet, video, voice or home service?

@XfinityMarcus​ It's tied to internet.  Today this has happened 4 times so far today between the hours of 8am and 3pm.  All 3 times my interruptions lasted less than 10 minutes.  I go to look for report of outages on my phone at these times and nothing.  But when you're working from home.  Loosing the ability to work and video conference call, where you are activily kicked from the conference and miss up to 10 minutes of it is a problem.  If I didn't work from home I'd probably never notice, but I do.  In the SW Chicago suburbs.

Hello @Irratatedandwithdrawn, Thank you for elaborating on the details. I can understand how frustrating this may be, especially while working from home. I work from home as well and understand the importance of staying connected for work.  Are you connected to a VPN when you lose connection? Do the lights on the modem flash when you lose connection?

I am NOT using a VPN.  My modem will have full connectivity when this happens. I've restarted my modem and it has not resolved the problem.  I've elaborated from the beginning, but you guys arent hearing me.  It's not an issue on my side.  This started 3 weeks ago after over 2 years as a customer with no issue.  And since my last post. It is now 530pm and it has happened again between 3pm and now, 530pm. But you're going to tell me.

There are no outages in my area.

There are no interuptions in service in my area.

Your diagnostic shows no issues with my modem.

Restart my modem (already did)

You arent solving the problem.  You continue to give me level 1 people like yourself who are doing nothing.  Attempting to placate me by saying you work from home and understand my aggravation. No you dont. YOU are the people who are suppose to fix my internet. But you aren't.  Your customer service lines add up to essentially pandering and placation with no real solution.  I still cant a person on the phone. 

I am annoyed because you wont fix my internet.  I'm angry, aggrevated and frustrated because your customer service in helping me get to a person who can help me is non existant.  You dont have reported outages because you make impossible for a person to report intermittent service outages that are sub 15minutes.  3 weeks ago you did outage work in my area.  Whatever you did that day created this issue since then.   I hope you are all talking to Tom Karinshak right now because your his customer service people and the company is failing at a spectacular scale.

I have the same problem, five hours of not getting any results and not be able to advance to a live person.

Three separate customer service people, and still no results.
