Why is it so difficult to talk to anyone at Xfinity

I have to assume this ques tion is asked many times, but Xfinity has become the absolute worst company to get customer service.  This is an example of that!  I received a notice today that said essentially we have discovered a problem at your location and we (not sure who the [Edited: Language] we is) are sending a technician "free of charge" between the hours of 3 to 5 pm.  He doesn't need to access your residence.  So I happen to be home.  The truck pulls up.  Spends a half hour in the truck and never gets out! Me being a dedicated Xfinity customer is curious as to what happened.

There is no way in [Edited: Language] that I can find without fighting the Xfinity firewall to find out what occurred.  I tried.  Got on Xfinity chat.  Kept getting the same questions.  Saying i really need to talk to someone or find out what occurred is useless.

Is this only me or am I missing something.  Xfinity does not want to talk to customers.  And your automated system is offensive to say the least.  It may be like another problem I posted about!  One post said it is working as designed!!  Not that it works, but working as designed.  Your automated system does everything possible to keep customers away.

Hope it is ok to vent some of my frustrations.  First, I still ask the question why is it so difficult to call Xfinity and talk to someone.  Recently had the tech appointment as stated above and have had ongoing issues with the system.  How do I find out what was noticed that day?

Secondly, have been trying to find out why you can only pause a recording for 10 minutes.  Have another post in this forum detailing why it is a bad design in my opinion.  Let me ask another way.  You can pause a live program for 16 minutes but a recording for only 10 minutes.  Why?  Why can't there be selections on how long you want a recording paused.  Can't count the number of times I have paused a recording to do something.  Come back to the recording and the system has kicked out to whatever the last live channel was.

Oh, and a third question.  The default channel selection in the preferences menu does not work.  Was told by one of your techs it doesn't work.  Why is it on the menu?

These capabilities are automatic?  Can you please tell me what that means?  I assume it's automatic because that is the way the system has been programmed.  Someone decided to make it 10 minutes, but there seems to be no reasoning behind that decision or at least no one has come forward stating the reasoning.
