Zero respect or loyalty for longtime customers

I have been lied to by many agents and have proof. I am tired of being told I have services I can not access. I am being told that my internet is not enough to access FREE channels. They want to add $30 per month to access LOCAL FREE channels. I was assured when I got my plan they were included with the stream app. Another lie. I’m so sick of being gaslit by this company. 25 year loyalty means nothing to them.

Been with them since it was Covington Cable.... ridiculous.

Thanks for sharing. I am tired of being lied to via tech support. The only way I seem to be honored as a customer is if I go into a physical building but their chats and customer phone support is beyond ridiculous. From agents purposely breathing heavily into their microphones to avoid listening, to dropping calls, and zero response when you ask them questions their brains can’t compute. This company has become a complete joke. I am leaving and that’s basically what they deserve. Definitely not my precious money. Hope you can move on too.

@user_e19d39​ You should go back to my original post and look at the <Edited: Language> I have had to deal with since I made it, its kinda funny at this point, and im really glad I started live streaming and recording these conversations.  It brought some of my viewers back.

@user_e19d39 Thanks for adding a post. Xfinity Internet customers get access to a Free TV section in the Xfinity Stream app. https://www.xfinity.com/hub/free-tv-movies/free-tv-week. I'll post the details below so you can access it and enjoy the available content there:

How to Access Free TV with Xfinity Internet:
  1. Xfinity Stream App: Sign in with your Xfinity credentials on your phone, tablet, web browser, or supported devices (Fire TV, Chromecast) to watch free live channels and On Demand content.
  2. "Free This Week": Look for this section to find limited-time free movies and shows.

The issue is I want the free local channels in my area and Xfinity wants to charge me $30 to access free local channels. I have the stream app but it won’t allow me to access free local channels

@XfinityBenny​ again, these are Free local channels and Xfinity is blocking my ability to use an antenna to access free local channels. I keep being told it costs $30 for free LOCAL channels

Do you have an antenna installed at your home to get those free channels? To get the cable channels on Xfinity you would need to have cable as a service even for channels that may be free on antenna. @user_e19d39 did you want to add cable services to the account?

Yes I have an antenna installed at my home and the Xfinity tech is blocking my ability to access my antenna to get FREE LOCAL CHANNELS. Nobody can explain why Xfinity has access to my private antenna and why I am being upsold to access free LOCAL CHANNELS

While local stations may offer free stations, they are not free for us to broadcast. Content providers/local stations negotiate contracts that require Comcast/Xfinity to pay fees to carry these channels. For more information on how it works, we have this article here.

If those stations do offer them for free with an antenna, our coaxial cable lines should not interfere with the antenna’s signals. Does the TV have a limited number of ports to where it can only have our device connected or the antenna to it (one at a time) @user_e19d39?

Send a tech to fix the issue with Xfinity blocking my own access to my own antenna. Coaxial is being ruled by your tech. Send a tech since typing is fixing nothing!

When placing credits on your account we can only credit for service downtime you pay for and not because you can not access channels on the stream app when not subscribed to that services. How is the technician blocking your access to your antenna? If it's the coax cable you may need to install a separate one to your antenna and switch between the one for your Xfinity services and your antenna. @user_e19d39 If you do not have cable services with us we will not provide streaming services and offer channels outside any promotions for free TV content as found here: https://www.xfinity.com/hub/free-tv-movies/free-tv-week Do you want to add cable services to your account since you are not subscribed to this service? Have you looked at the programming you would like for your TV services? If not the link: https://www.xfinity.com/learn/channel-lineup can be helpful in deciding the cable package you would be most interested in.

I’m so sick of being lied to. I was assured LOCAL channels were free with Xfinity streaming. I was lied to about getting a months credits for my time. I have screenshots and transcripts downloaded. Send a technician to my house and fix this issue and honor the credits you have promised. If this can not be established I am leaving and you can kiss a 25 year customer away and I will do my best to tell every one in my circle to avoid Xfinity like the plague

@user_e19d39​ Dont feel bad buddy.  Ive been lied to on a record 200 phone calls.  Literally had techs come out to do equipment installs not realizing they have installed said equipment 4 times prior in the last 10 months.

You should respond to my "File a complaint" post.  They can't keep getting away with this.  I literally had an agent tell me friday night, they were sending an entire networking team to resolve my 10 month old issue, and I actually asked "what will this team be able to do since the issue is at the node, do they have magical powers" and the agent literally spent the next 45 minutes explaining to me that certain techs do indeed have magical powers. . . . Im not even joking.  On saturday when that tech showed up, he sat in his truck for 45 minutes before i walked out, knocked on his window, just for him to confirm he is a sub contracted tech and doesn't have access to the watchtower or node.

Thanks for your comment, user_08ag77. I'm sorry to hear about your connectivity issues. I know how frustrating it can be, and I'd like to help! What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far? Did you try rebooting your modem manually or through the Xfinity App? Did you check the coaxial connection on both ends (wall plate and modem) to make sure the connection is tight and there's no damage to it?

Since October of 2025 (and before) I have been unable to watch uninterrupted television. Throughout each day, at various times, I encounter frozen picture screens, multiple error messages, lost audio, black screens., etc. Xfinity has made empty promises to address these multiple, recurring issues, but today is January 6th and the problems continue. They pretend they don’t want to lose my business, but do nothing to support what is clearly a baseless claim. I’ve had it. Worst company of them all.

Experiencing frozen screens and audio loss for months is not the experience we want for any of our customers. I understand why you feel that our commitment to your business has been baseless given the lack of resolution. I'd like to learn more about your issues and provide support. 

@user_b8oi1g send our team a direct message with your full name, the name listed on the account (if different), and the service address associated with your account, I'd be more than happy to look into this for you. 

To send a Direct Message: 

  • Click the "Direct Messaging" icon 
  • Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  • The "To:" line prompts you to "Type the name of a person". Instead, type "Xfinity Support" there.
  • As you are typing a drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list.
  • An "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line.
  • Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  • Press Enter to send it.
