Why have I been on hold over 2 hours to speak to a representative!

What could customer service representatives possibly be doing at Xfinity that I am still on hold after 2 hours??? Please help me understand if they are driving to customer homes to answer questions or what! I have the screenshots to show it. I take one every 15 to 30 mins bc I will be emailing the screenshots to everyone at Xfinity. After being on hold this long there’s no way I'm hanging up!

If they have not got back in 5 minutes, they lst your call. I would have hung up. It has happened to me in the past.

Yep! Me too! Still on hold after 2hours, 28 min. Clearly this debacle of a company spends more time fixing issues their agents create than providing any degree of customer service. The CEO needs to be fired and replaced with someone who actually knows how to run a service providing company. There is zero excuses for the deplorable way this company is managed. If the Xfinity board of directors paid attention, they would oust the CEO. This all starts there. This monopoly needs to end.

Still on hold after 2 hours, 31 minutes! Who does this to their customers????? It’s always about trying to fix issues their agents create by not knowing what they are doing or misleading customers! What a company, not to mention a publicly traded company who gets by with doing business this way. sickening. [Edited: All caps]

@user_2b6e46 Thank you for reaching out via our Xfinity Forums. Our team is here with all things Xfinity. I am  not sure what was causing the long hold time. May I ask what phone number you called? Also, was your issue resolved? If not, we would be happy to help you here.

[Edited: "Personal Information"].  On 2 phones both on hold well over an hour.  And getting the chat to call you doesn’t work out.  So much for customer experience.

I have been on hold for a representative for 2 hours and 45 minutes. What [Edited: "Language"] is going on. I got a modem today that I set up just as instructions told me and when it was about to finish setting up on the app, my app stopped working and signed me out. Now I cannot sign into the app despite resetting password (per chat bot instructions) 3 times. I can sign into my account on a browser just fine, but of course you can’t setup wifi without the app. Please help me this is ridiculous and should not take 4 hours of someone’s time. It’s a disgrace.

Can’t downgrade my service. I’m put on hold, and at exactly 33 minutes, the call hangs up. Has happened twice now. Who do I send a bill to for wasting my time?

I have the same issue.  I have currently been on hold for over 2 hours. I called Xfinity and asked "what promotions are available for existing customers" and was placed on hold. I have tried the chat, signing into my account and everything says I must call. I called Xfinity on another phone and it was answered within 10 minutes to be told that they couldn't help me and to try calling back at another time.  I love how they "are committed to respecting our customers’ time, simplifying their experience, and making things right if we fall short." I have yet to experience this commitment in any way.

Hello,

I have a grandfathered package and cannot change my plan on the website. Phone support was no help. I do not see an option for direct messaging. Can you help me?

Currently on hold to downgrade my services. I have to wonder how quickly they would pick up if I selected I was a new customer?
