Xfinity Hotspot app (Android)

On Monday, July 17th, the xfinity hotspot app was working fine on my Android phone. The next day, it stopped working. No changes to account, phone setup, anything to my xfinity subscription.

I have been receiving an error (screen shot below) for the last few days. an hour on the phone speaking with various support people from different parts of the company have not yielded a resolution to this error.

Does anyone have a clue what's going on here and how this may be resolved?

Edit: trying to login to an xfinitywifi hotspot with my credentials results in a message saying hotspots aren't available in my tier of service. 

And Xfinity reps don't seem to know what's going on, or how to clearly speak English

@FerruzAXP Thank you for taking the time to make this post and letting us know of the WiFi hotspot issues you are running into. This is a wonderful feature to be able to take advantage of, so we definitley want to ensure it is working! Are you able to access the WiFi Hotspots using another device, or do they happen to get the same error as your cell phone on other devices as well?

@XfinityKatie​ thank you for the reply.

I haven't tried on my laptop because my home connection is fine and there are no hot spots within range of my house. I don't have any devices other than my laptop and my phone.

I spent about an hour on the phone earlier in the week and then again spent time on the phone Friday where the agent said she was escalating the case. That case number is (Edited: PII) and I was advised to give it 24 to 48 hours for a resolution. As of this morning, it still doesn't work.

As I told the agent, it was working fine on monday, then Tuesday it just stopped and hasn't worked since. No changes were made to my phone set up.

Again on the phone with an agent and it feels like I'm starting all over.

This issue is on multiple devices,  so it's not my equipment - it's on comcast's end.

Does anybody at Comcast actually do anything to fix problems, or do the chat, phone, and forums exist only to frustrate and alienate customers?
