Why does Xfinity want to dump me into the AI Virtual Assistant every time I have to call?

Alright, Xfinity, enough is enough!  Every time I need to call in to speak to a human, 1-800-XFINITY wastes at a minimum 5 minutes of my life trying to redirect me to your absolutely useless and generic Virtual Assistant that cannot answer anything.  And if I do get directed to chatting with an "agent," that agent refuses to actually do anything helpful and then tells me I need to "call in" to speak to someone.  Then the cycle repeats itself and I again am spending an inordinate amount of time trying to navigate AROUND your AI system that, by default, wants to dump me into your Virtual Assistant.  

From the perspective of me as the Customer that pays for your service, you seem to want to avoid actually giving customer service.  Why is that??? And why are you so disrespectful of my time??? 

On this occasion you have wasted 30 minutes of my time just to finally speak to a human, and now I'm waiting an additional 15 minutes as I had to request escalation to a supervisor.  Your customer service sucks and you clearly don't want to spend the money on good customer service.
