Very frustrated.

The chat bot is worthless and Comcast should be embarrassed to even have it available.  

The IVR is even more frustrating. 

When you add/subtract channels online you often don’t get the same price as when you talk to a human.  Sometimes subtracting channels makes the price go up until you talk to a human 

When I removed the security system a few years ago - even talking to a human - my total price went up. 

phone numbers for individual stores aren’t listed online, it always lists the extremely frustrating main number.  

in an Xfinity store yesterday 2 agents told me that I qualified -as a reward -for a free watch.   I clarified “completely free?”  “Yes”.  The “completely free” watch turned out to cost $14 a month.  Lying to your customers is not a good idea - especially when one asks the clarifying question.  


Yesterday,  Xfinity decided to “enhance” my network right in the middle of a business day - causing an outage on purpose.  My reason for buying internet is remote work.   If I can’t work I can’t pay Comcast.  

it is time for Comcast to prioritize the customer.

Thanks for reaching out to us we do apologize for any inconvenience you experience. When it comes to mobile services being offered on devices, a lot of times we offer promotions where the device is free but to provide mobile service to that device there would be a monthly mobile fee.

 

In regards to the service interruption you had the other day if you got the notification that they're enhancing your network that means they're working on upgrading the technology and speeds in your area to provide our customers with the most fast and reliable connection. Again we apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you for your feedback.

 

Were there any other questions or concerns or anything else I could help you with?

those answers don’t help. 

telling me that I’m not going to be able to work doesn’t help that I’m unable to work. Being unable to work is not “an inconvenience “ it threatens my livelihood 

when I asked “is it free?” It would have been appropriate to say “well you’ll need cell service on it” or else it comes across as very deceptive.  

you didn’t even try to address many of the complaints in the original post.  

if you have no customers you have no company.  Why is it not worth your while prioritizing us?

I'm sorry those answers didn't help, unfortunately service interruptions can happen for many different reasons, we do notify our customers through our awesome Xfinity app when these type of service interruptions arise. Service interruptions can happen due to weather related issues, accidents, issues at our nodes or plants or even enhancement of networks.

 

 I went through the same type of service interruption 2 months ago when they enhance my network to the next generation speeds, during that time I lost connection in and out during the day and was not able to work as well,  so I did have to notify my superiors that there was a service interruption in the area that was unavoidable.

 

 

Again I do apologize for any inconvenience you had with the purchase of the free smart watch, but just as any mobile service needs a connection there is also a fee that goes along with that connection to provide service to that mobile device.

 

I'm not sure what concerns I didn't address but I do apologize if you had any inconvenience using our automated systems or our chat system through our Xfinity app, are local Xfinity stores do not have direct numbers.

 

if you're looking to see about getting a better price for the services you love and need,  go ahead and send me a direct message including your first and last name and your complete service address and I'll be happy to do a review of your account

 

Here's the detailed steps to direct message us:

 

  • Click "Sign In" if necessary
  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  • Type "Xfinity Support" in the to line and select "Xfinity Support" from the drop-down list
  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  • Press Enter to send your message

The fact that you call it an “awesome” Xfinity app shows how out of touch you are.  A technology company ought to be ashamed of what it has developed.  

for the concerns you didn’t address, reread my original post, reread your response & see where the gaps are.  They’re pretty obvious

I have read your entire post and there's no questions you're asking specifically . But I'll do my best to address each point you made.

 

 We do apologize for any inconvenience you had using our chat system we offer many ways to reach out to us whether it's through our social media platforms such as the one we're speaking on or the other ones I provided in the links above

 

as far as your subscription and your pricing I would actually need to look at your account to get more specific details

 

as far as the Security Service I'm not sure how you want me to address that because it doesn't look like you're asking a question

 

you are correct that the local Xfinity stores do not have direct numbers when calling to Xfinity you must use our one 800 number, if you need to speak to someone directly at the local Xfinity store you would have to make a visit to that actual location.

 

again I apologize for any confusion on the smart watch, but there is a monthly fee to provide service to the watch, the free part is the purchase of the smart watch

 

As far as the service interruptions,  I did explain that above and how you can also apply to get credit added to your account

 

If you  need anything specific in regards to your account, please send me a direct message with the information I provided above
