I have had the most horrendous experience with moving with Xfinity. They tell you it's simple, but it has been the most complicated process and still unresolved. Every time I spoke to someone I got differing information and would be on the phone for hours. I'm now more confused after the last phone call. I just moved within my building, which I thought would be so easy.

Hello @user_tnb2rr Sorry to hear about your experience transferring the service. We would be happy to figure this out and help alleviate any confusion caused by the phone call. Could you tell us a little more information of what has happened so far?

@XfinityMatthew​ I moved to a new unit in the same building and was told I just needed to take my box and plug it in and everything would be fine. Everything would transfer over, recordings, favorites, etc. The building manager would take care of updating my account and address. I spoke to the building and they knew nothing about it, so I spoke to Xfinity again and they updated my address. But then my tv box stopped working and it was just a black screen. I was then told that I needed a tech to come out, but my account would be credited so I wouldn't be charged. He came out and replaced the boxes but I lost everything that I had saved. I spoke to Xfinity again and they said they needed to transfer me to someone to merge my two accounts and everything would reappear. They transferred me to someone who then told me once I get a new box everything is lost. So I lost everything I saved and have a $100 charge on my account for setting up new boxes that I could've done myself.

@XfinityMatthew​ I sent a direct message, but no one responded right away. They asked to send a text message. I said yes and then never received the text. Later, I see that I finally got a response, 20 min after I said I'd prefer a text message. I don't have that kind of time to sit and wait for a response.
