World's worst customer service

Summary:

  • Order storm proof wifi as a diamond reward member
  • It was not delivered
  • Chatted and they promised delivery within two days
  • It was not delivered
  • Chatted again for an hour - no one could help
  • Called the 1800 number - it's impossible to get a real person
  • Went to the Xfinity Store - they knew nothing about storm-proof wifi but at least gave me an order number
  • Storm proof wifi delivered
  • No power supply was included in delivery
  • Talked to chat for 2 hours - 6 different representatives  - no one could work out how to get a power supply sent to me.
  • After 2 hours - final rep sent me back to the original chat queue - I gave up and logged out
  • Setup an appointment to go back to Xfinity store to see if I can get a power supply - I highly doubt it.

I've been a customer for 20+ years and pay over 300 for Xfinity services - this is the worst experience I've ever had with any company.

Does anyone have any idea how I can get a power supply - the rewards experience seems to be punishing me.

Of course - as I started posting on Xfinity - I typed a very long forum entry and then it asked me to login - I lost everything I typed - seems that Xfinity is out to get me

I am so frustrated and so close to cancelling all Xfinity services.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hello @SimeyC123 . Thanks for letting us know about your experience, and being so patient through the battery portion of the delivery. We're happy you're part of the amazing trial program for the Storm Ready Wifi, though. It is amazing, and the best way to stay connected during a loss of power so I'm glad you're giving us another chance locally. If you're not successful in picking up a battery back up at the store let us know. We'll jump in and help. You can get most of the details to expect and the FAQ on the set-up here https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/storm-ready.

@XfinityBenny​ I went to the XFinity store and they did not have the right adapter. That's another hour wasted. How do I get a power adapter for the storm ready wifi?

Just to confirm - it is the power adapter that was missing not the battery backup.

I can tell you have not had the best experience and I assure you I am here to do everything I can to turn this around @simeyc123 . I am showing the store may not have been aware that the Storm-Ready WiFi was already available as it is set to be released after July. Since you mentioned being able to order though a reward you were chosen to have early access. Now I want to be sure we can get everything figured out for you with your service. Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!

Thank you for reaching back out. Since It's still pretty early in the day my follow up was set for the afternoon to provide the ticketing department time to update if one was available. I do not have an update at this time. Thank you for your patience.

Just an update for those who are interested.

A ticket for the rewards team was created on 6/24 and it is assigned to someone (I had to send a direct message to find this out - so the latest it was assigned was 6/28 in the morning. 

No one has reached out from the rewards team and as of now I still am no nearer to getting an adapter.

I requested the reward of the Storm Proof wi-fi on 6/3 and based on the fact it is Friday, and Tuesday is a holiday I doubt I'll even be provided an acknowledgement from the rewards team until at least 7/5.

I understand there are millions of customers and thousands of tickets - but surely once it is assigned, a quick not to say 'Hi, I have your ticket, with the volume of tickets we have I anticipate it will be resolved by <Date>" The direct message have been responded to very quickly - but here I am almost a month gone by - without my reward.

Still nothing from the rewards team. They could have shipped out replacement by now and I would have received it - how hard is it to ship out an adaptor? How hard is it to reach out to me. The forum help has been very good - but apparently being a diamond reward member means nothing to the rewards team

Additional update. I have now received call(s) from Xfinity sayng the replacement device is on its way and should be received this week. I wasn't able to take the calls due to conflicts with meeting but I was left a detailed message.

I posted this forum entry on June 23rd when I received the kit without a power adapter. It's over a month later and my new kit has still not shipped even though it was supposed to be in the warehouse on 7/11. How difficult is it to ship me a new kit or surely it's even easier to ship me an adapter.
