Xfinity Wifi Hotspot

I recently had to replace my home modem and returned old equipment and activated the new equipment.  After of the replacement equipment, my Verizon mobile device could no longer connect to the Xfinity wifi hotspots throughout the city that I have previously connected to for many months.  In a related event, my included Peacock with my home internet plan was canceled.  This was not a coincidence.  I have spent many hours with customer service getting passed from associate to associate trying to fix the problem.  I was last told my the Xfinity Mobile associate that I was my Verizon mobile that blocked connection and told me to call them.  I did and they said that I have not such block with makes sense since I am able to connect to any other hotspot.  To try and remedy the problem, I uninstalled my Xfinity app and reinstalled it.  After i did so, I now get a message saying that hotspots are not available with my tier of service.  I was able to restore my Peacock but looking at my account, it also shows that I have two modems which is also not correct.  I believe this to be an account issue but can not get anyone to fix it.  My frustration is about to lead me to cancel my account and move to another provider.  Can anyone help with this issue?

Worst customer service ever.  Still did not fix issue even though multiple times promised it would be fixed.  Spend days on chat and phone with them.  You

I am also having similar issues with no help what so ever from comcast. I feel they are hiding something from customers and just need to come clean. They offer a service that we all pay for either by being a comcast customer or through paying 10 a month for thier hotspots but claim they have no means of fixing them. Sounds strange to me. I too have spent many hours and days of my time in office and on the phone with these people. And before the message appears after I post this, you are never connected with the right person that can help you. They are reading a script!

@user_u03ibk I can definitely understand the frustration, I love using out Xfinity Hotspots. I know the ones in my old apartment complex were hit and miss if they were available simply because some of the Hotspots are broadcast from customer's Xfinity gateway, though there is an option to toggle that off. When that happens there isn't anything we can do as it is a customer's equipment. We truly want to be transparent and help you resolve your concerns. There are public hotspots that are not tied to customer equipment, if the issue is with one of those we can attempt troubleshooting. I'm happy to help if you'd like to send us a DM to Xfinity Support with your full name and address to get started.
