Transfer of Service

Hey Tom,

Your system needs revamping! Here’s my complaint.

Hi Tom,
 Have you ever tried to access help from Comcast? I’ve been a loyal customer but can’t transfer service . It’s been so frustrating. I think you could learn from my experience. I like Comcast products but cannot understand why the transfer of service is so difficult, if not impossible. If Comcast didn’t have a near monopoly I would go elsewhere.  I plan to bring up this near monopoly with the feds. I’ve been there before and now that I am Retired I have the time to address it appropriately. 

Respectfully,

[Edited: "Personal Information"]

Hi Sara, Thank you for addressing this issue and setting up my post.

I  started the transfer on May 13 using the app.  When I submitted I was told I must speak with an agent. 
I connected with an agent who told me I was all set for a service transfer to my new address on the date I requested May 20. There was a promotional discount for 2 years actually saving me money on the same plan. 1 GB. 

May 20 I attached my net gear cm1000 modem and orbi router to the cable in the main room.  No internet. I had numerous chats and three calls with tech. Lots of time spent and no service still. 
I was told my modem was out of date and I need a new one. I ordered one on Comcast’s approved list and had it sent overnight. The phone tech set an appointment for 8-10 am on the 21st with a tech visit to my house. 
the tech went to my old address and then canceled the visit. 
I called as soon as I realized what had happened, about 8:40 am. 
I spent more time being passed around to various specialists and finally came to point where I still had no service and now no tech visit. 
A couple hours later on the 21st still I tried a chat again. Harika was helping me and said she had it all worked out.  At the very end of the chat she informed me I was out of footprint.  
I checked the availability site and it shows it’s available. 
I noticed the site offers two addresses:

and

the “Pl” shows available while the “Place” is out of footprint

I  next chatted with Emma. She was adamant I was now a new customer and would bring higher prices not lower prices for the same service. 
I requested contact from a supervisor. She told me one would call back in 15-20 minutes. That was yesterday and I have not received a call. 

can you help me transfer service to my new address? Same plan with the discount is was originally offered?

thank you

@user_pv1lxl It's our pleasure to help out! We are the right team for the job. I see in our system as well exactly what you are stating where PL has a location, but Place does not. I can work with my addressability team to have that corrected, but with PL showing a location on this side we should be able to proceed and set up an appointment for the installation. Since the location is showing never activated, a professional installation is required. I know we are a couple of days already behind from when this needed to be completed, but I assure you we will have it scheduled asap! I know how vital the services are for our customers. For the modem, the CM1000 is still a vailid device, but it is not supported for the gigabit speed. I believe that is why you were advised a new modem is needed. No worries, we will sort that out as well. 
Please send us a direct message with your name and current service address. (Your previous address) From there we will send a verification code and work to have the services moved over properly and installed so that there are no additional issues.
