Worst experience ever!!!!

We have been a customer with Xfinity /Comcast for 20+ years with steadily increasing rates. Recently we have had issues with our cable box, so I decided to take it to the Xfinity store and swap it out - sounds easy, right? Two trips to the store 30 mins one way, I still do not have a working box. The fist box they gave me was a “flex box” that is apparently not intended for the services we have. The second box required me to contact Xfinity at a specified number to activate. Of course you can’t talk to a live person without standing on your head. Well I chat (text) with someone who says I have to approve the activation by email. I do this only to find out that this approval granted them permission to change my grandfathered plan to a more expensive plan with less perks. I was livid and spent hours on the phone with customer service. When I asked for a supervisor, I was told they would call me back - didn’t happen. Called again and they offered me a $15 credit for my trouble, directing me back to the store to get me issue resolved b/c there is nothing else they ca. do about it. Are you serious? You [Edited: "Language"] and it becomes my problem? I need someone to help me fix this error!

The XFINITY stores are absolutely horrible. They tried to redesign themselves to look like an Apple store, but you walk in and you have to wait an hour to meet with people most of the time. Horrible customer service….

@user_3zbs6g​ thank you for taking time to reply to this post. We're always looking for ways to improve as a company, and getting valuable feedback where we can implement that is helpful. From experience, I know the Xfinity Store near me can be busy, as it's the only one within like 45 minutes. When ever I need to make a visit I'll sign up for an appointment to try and save some time, if you weren't aware you can visit the store locator: https://www.xfinity.com/local/store-offers > enter your address > select "View Store Details" > Book appointment. I hope this is able to make the next store experience easier.
