I was a customer of Xfinity a while ago and I've always had a good experience with them. The customer service agents were easy to reach and very helpful. This new virtual assistant must be keeping guard over the agents with wall fortifications, archers, and a freaking mote. No matter what option I selected or how many times (and there were many times), that I asked to speak with an agent because the stupid AI just kept trying to direct me to billing, the thing kept hanging up on me. I have spent the last hour trying to connect with an agent and it just wouldn't let me. It even kept saying "I will be happy to connect you with an agent if you give me a little more information". I would keep giving it the best info I could but no matter what, it wanted to direct me to billing and when I told it that I needed more help and wanted to speak to an agent, IT WOULD JUST HANG UP ON ME. The virtual assistant on the chat is no more helpful. Kept telling me to sign in to speak to an agent AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CALL ABOUT. It wouldn't let me sign in!! I have never in my life been so frustrated or dealt with such abysmal customer service. That AI either needs to be improved so that it will ACTUALLY connect you with an agent like it says it will, or it needs to be done away with. Because I don't know if I want to deal with it whenever there is a problem. I was able to figure out the signing in but I still need more technical help and the AI gives me that option and then again sends me to billing and then hangs up on me when I tell it that I don't want to go to billing. I am just so disappointed, angry, and frustrated. I know that AI is up and coming but that doesn't mean it's better. Completely unhelpful and infuriating.

Concern moved here to the Customer Service help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

user_w3bxvr Hi there! We truly appreciate you being a loyal Xfinity customer and taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re really sorry to hear that getting in touch with an agent has been so frustrating—this is definitely not the experience we want you to have.
It sounds like the virtual assistant kept misdirecting your request, and that’s understandably frustrating, especially when you’re already dealing with a technical issue. While we’re always working to improve the AI experience, we know there are times when speaking to a live agent is necessary, and we want to make sure you get the help you need.

I’ve been a customer for over a decade and never had so many problems trying to resolve issues with my account. I call and takes up to 45 minutes to talk to an agent after going through a long waiting period of the robot not letting me talk to someone. Then when I finally get someone they promise me they will resolve it and never do and then I have to start all over and call again, last agent I talked to hung up on me after I explained how unhappy I was with all this. I’m at the end of my patients with all this and ready to return everything and not be a customer, the customer service is horrible and for what I’m paying they should do better.

user_4m4cxg Thanks for reaching out about issues with your account. I would be happy to help in any way I can to get you the resolution you need. 

Can you send us a direct message with your full name, name of account holder (if different), and service address please?

To send a "Direct Message" to Xfinity Support:

Click "Sign In" if necessary

Click the "Direct Messaging" icon (speech bubble)

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

WATCH OUT! when you cancel they will charge you cancelation fee. I was charged $40 for canceling because my speeds were only 37.5 mbps and I was paying for 500mbps. Took hours on phone to cancel. and after being a loyal customer for 14 years they said I broke contract. I asked what about them not honoring the contract speed and they were willing to do nothing. Im moving all of my businessess, and accounts to another company. ATT is charging me 1/3 the price for faster service at one location and Starlink is giving me 3x the speed for 3/4 the price at another location. Xfinity DOES NOT HONOR CONTRACTED Speed and the customer service is HORRIBLE!!!

Internet Service is outstanding! Fast and Reliable!
Business tactics are unreliable to say the least.
There are no price locks, every year I have to argue with customer service.
Started at 800Mbps at $50. Two years later $80 for the same.
Then 1.2Terabyte cap. I was surcharged $100 extra. (Instead of switching me to unlimited for +$10)
So customer service convinces me to stay for 400Mbps unlimited for $65.
Then I try out T-mobile home internet for 400Mbps $35 and its works.
I tell Xfinity customer service that I will be switching and all of a sudden they can match price and specs.
Why couldn't you give me that rate from the very beginning????
Then I have to squeeze out of customer service that there is no price lock on that $35 400Mbps.
That next year it will go back to $55. 

Xfinity me and you are taking a break!

Hopefully your tactics change.
