Why can't I change my plan online?

I need to change my plan but can't see any options online. I get an error message. Is it purposefully designed this way to force me to speak to a sales rep who will give me the runaround?

I've been trying for months and I keep getting the error message also. This forum is filled with people experiencing the same issue. I do think they are forcing us to interact with their sales reps

As a customer myself I always like to make sure I only pay for the services I love & need. Depending on the plan you have you may not have the option to make changes to your plan via the awesome xfinity website https://comca.st/3wC8GlG and will need one of our amazing agents to make that change for you which you can reach our agents via 1-800-xfinty, via Facebook, Via twitter,  VIA the xfinity assistant via the amazing my account app. We can also assist via this platform, to get started could you please send our team a direct message with your full name and full address? Our team can most definitely take a further look at this issue.

There are Computer "Bugs" in the programing code. The company handling this less than adequate.  Covid19 might be part of the problem.

Your need to have person here in Customer Service handle it.  Calling 1-800-Xfinity works if you can get someone to talk to.

Every customer should be able to makes changes to our accounts online without having too spend hours on online chat or on the phone. We should be able to look and do the best deals ourselves. All you get is a error message when you try. And all Comcast gives you here is excuses. [Edited: "Solicitation"]

Xfinity - please stop with the "Private message us" response.  This is a significant USER EXPERIENCE problem that should be addressed GLOBALLY.  I have gone through this same deflection cycle with Xfinity for several months now.  The request is quite simple - allow your customers to make changes to their subscription services online.  Do not force them to call into a representative so that you can try to upsell them or disallow valid offers.  And at the same time, provide an online view of ALL of the available offers.  Your current policies toward existing (and currently PAYING) customers are terrible.

this is how comcast [Edited: "Language"] their customers they know they have no competition in certain areas so they can do whatever they want, i agree you should not have to call and speak to someone to make changes on your account. their policies and customer service is garbage there is no reason that customers should not be able to see what options are available to either increase their plan services or decrease them by figuring out exactly what they want. But these idiots who claim they are customers as well are full of it, as employees of the company they moist likely have workarounds so they get the best deal(free cable or faster internet at no real cost to them, their whole job is to [Edited: "Language"] the customer. i bet they take a class to learn how to best swindle the customer out of their money
