Xfinity unilaterally changed my password.
Rcvd an E-mail from Xfinity that my password had been reset. I didn't to that. I was getting Non-Delivery E-mails and after an hour on the phone had an agent tell me they'd fix whatever the problem was. Now I can't send/rcv E-mail via Outlook. I've tried 3x calling Xfinity, getting the same computer generated questions. Need to talk with a live agent, but apparently Customer Service doesn't do that anymore. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you for your kind words. I fully understand your frustration. Companies out source their technical support to save money. The agent that you get rarely has any understanding of how the internet works. They are hired for their ability to speak and read English. When you call, they simply read back the pro-forma boilerplate documents that they have access to, many of which are outdated or in some cases completely wrong. It is not the agents fault...they are trying to make a living just like everyone else. Comcast has chosen to sub-contract support, and doesn't seem to care that in many cases it is a joke...it's been like that for many, many years. They are happy having the lowest cost...everything else is immaterial. That being said. all the big ISPs are that way, so you really have no choice when it comes to the quality of their technical support team. It has become the norm, and that is a real tragedy.
