Xfinity has the WORLDS WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

Here’s a revised version of your review that maintains a professional tone while amplifying your anger and frustration:

Xfinity’s Customer Service is an Absolute Disaster

Dealing with Xfinity has been one of the most frustrating customer service experiences of my life. Your so-called “support” system is completely broken. I needed help and was forced to use your text chat because speaking to a live person seems impossible. What followed was an infuriating three-hour ordeal during which I was transferred to nine different agents.

Here’s the kicker: after the second transfer, I specifically asked why I kept being passed around. The agent told me I had to send a message every 2-3 minutes to keep the chat session active. Fine. I did that. I stayed in constant contact with the third agent, and just as we were about to resolve my issue and apply a credit to my bill, the session was terminated anyway. Immediately, I was transferred to yet another agent, who started from scratch.

This happened nine times. NINE. Every single time I had to re-explain the situation, redo the troubleshooting steps, and waste more of my time. Either your agents don’t read the notes, or there are no notes being taken in the first place. This system is beyond dysfunctional. It’s either a case of gross incompetence or an intentional design flaw that lets agents avoid helping customers.

After three hours, I gave up and went to your store, where my issue was resolved in minutes. Clearly, the store staff understands customer service better than your virtual team. Your chat system is an absolute failure and a colossal waste of your customers’ time.

Now let’s talk about your mobile service. I was promised a promotion where I’d only pay taxes and surcharges on one line. My bill came in at $77.91. When I called to address this, I learned the promotion I was sold doesn’t even exist. I would need to add a second line to qualify, something your agent conveniently “forgot” to mention when selling me the service. I was blatantly lied to. Either your agents are intentionally deceptive, or they lack proper training.

This entire experience has left me utterly disappointed and furious. If I had another option for internet and mobile service in my area, I would switch immediately. But Xfinity’s monopoly means I’m stuck with a company that clearly doesn’t value its customers’ time or trust. You need to fix your customer service, hold your agents accountable, and stop making false promises to your customers.

Let me know if you’d like to tweak this further!

What website is this at?  I haven’t even found step 1 there’s no chat icon near a bell. I only have a hamburger menu on this page & at Xfinity.com in the top right corner.

My experience EXACTLY. I realize Xfinity is providing the least amount of help they possibly can, given the $200+ they take each month. Going to an Xfinity store to try and beg for help. Xfinity really deserves their garbage reputation for the worst support the western world - well done! 👍

On Tuesday, Jan 21, I woke up to no TV/Internet at 6:00 AM. I gave it an hour or so thinking it would be fixed and come back on but it did not. So I called Comcast to report it. I got a message that there was some routine maintenance in may area and service would be back on by about 9:00 AM. I got a text about 8:15 saying service was back on. However, my service did not return. I also found that my nextdoor neighbor's service was out as well. So we both started calling to get assistance but we could only get the messages that continue to tell us that until we restart our equipment an agent cannot help. I did that 5 times over a period of about 8 hours and finally got to an agent but was cut off on 2 occasions and had to start over. I also spoke with several aquaintances within a block of my house and their service was up and running. So eventually late Tuesday the last agent that I talked to told me that no one had reported the outage after I had tried reporting it all day long. So the agent scheduled an appointment with me as well as my neighbor for Thursday, Jan. 23 stating that the trouble was inside our house and a service man would come to identify the problem. Of course it is impossible that it could be inside based on the circumstances of the outage with both me and my neighbor. So we waited until almost midday Thursday for a service man and within 5 minutes he determined that the problem was outside on the road just as I told the agent. He  reported the outage immediately. Another service tech showed up within 30 minutes, located and fixed the problem in about 15 minutes. The service man at my house said that when I originally called to report the outage the company determined that (as it turns out) only me and my neighbor were without service (2 customers) so it was not a priority to get us back online. That was why we went without TV/Internet/Phone for two and one half days when people all around us had service. If 5 or more customers had reported an outage it would have been a priority and they would have come out right away. By the way, there was no ice or snow where we live so weather was not an issue either. My neighbor and I got back on line about noon time yesterday after two and one half days without service that took 15 minutes to fix. Well that is [Edited: "Language"]. The only reason that I continue to use Comcast is because there are no other choices where I live with both internet and cable combined.  I had a previous issue several month ago that costed me a lot of time and effort to get resolved due to no fault of my own with no compensation for all of my trouble. I thought maybe it would not happen again and now this.  Comcast service just get worse and more expensive.  They have a monopoly and they know it.

Absolutely impossible to connect with a live agent. The initial phone recording said the automated chat agent could connect me with a live agent. That's a lie.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm getting fraudulent emails and would like to speak with a person.

Xfinity is beyond the worst customer service. They define the worst.

If there was a viable competing company in Santa Fe, I'd go with them. How could anybody be worse than allowing no contact with a live agent?

user_4gz01j We’re so sorry for the frustration and difficulty you’ve experienced trying to reach a live agent—it’s not the experience we want for any of our customers. I completely understand how important it is to speak with someone directly, especially when you’re concerned about potentially fraudulent emails.

I understand what you mean. I'm a long time customer of Comcast "Xfinity" and I called to up my internet speed. I representative offered me a deal to transfer my cell service. At the time the promotion sounded great and it provided me 200 saving a month. But what she failed to inform me was I could ONLY move 4 lines. She said there was an issue and it would be resolved the next day. Let's just say it was never resolved and now I have 4 lines with Xfinity and two lines still with my previous carry which I no issues with service or customer service. When I called to understand why I was told it will be fixed for me to never be fixed. Only one person after I asked for a supervisor was I told i was approved for only 4 lines and not 6 like i had before. This information was given after 3 days. I was mislead. I was blind transfered many times. And now I am unable to go back to Verizon when I tired. It was a big mess so now I have 4 lines with Xfinity mobile and 2 lines with Verizon. Paying two separate bills still not saving.

Hi there, eshaback! I am sorry to hear that you were not able to transfer all 6 of your lines to Xfinity Mobile. We appreciate that you are trying that service and I understand being frustrated with having 2 separate cell phone bills now. We want every interaction to be a good one! A check is run when you are looking into the Xfinity Mobile service that determines the total number of available lines. You should have been given that information when shopping online or speaking with an agent. The number of lines available is evaluated regularly so you may see that increase in the future.

@eshaback​ You wouldn't believe our issue. We had 2 land line numbers for 20 years on our account. My wife tried and tried to get the one removed and gave up. Finally, I just had someone figure out how to remove that and remove the erroneous line number. They apparently said that was the reason they had so many errors and my changes in plan builder kept failing. (Yeah, Right) So they got that fixed and then they offered me a plan like I asked for to save money like I wanted. I had just tried plan builder a 20th time and it amazingly worked this time. Then, the next day, I saw the better offer and agreed to it. Then another rep told me too late too bad so sad. I griped and was ignored by that rep and then the other guy text me back a day later saying he would install that plan and text it to me again for approval. Now I wait another day for his reply. This is all in the private service text because they want to keep it private. So about 14 representatives, a trip to the local service office, and 2 weeks later, and at least 100 text messages later I am hoping it will be resolved by tomorrow. Time will tell, and then I need to wait for the next billin g cycle to see if they [Edited: "Language"] it up and over charge me anyway. Then the fight will begin again. I am hoping and praying and wish and hoping. I am so tired of fighting with these incompetent reps.
