I am writing to complain about Xfinitys unreliable service and useless customer service system that make it impossible to speak with a live person to get information on a permanent solution. Since Thursday, May 25th 2023 to current, I have been experiencing unreliable and intermittent internet connectivity issues at my residence affecting my ability to work from home. Everyday since May 25th I have experience loss of internet and cable tv for hours at a time. On Thursday May 25th, Friday May 26, Tuesday May 30, Wednesday May 31 I had to relocate my office to be able to continue working. Xfinity had yet to provide proper notifications of issues in the area and have NOT provide updates on a permanent solution. To this date I have not been able to speak with a live person, as their phone system redirects to automated responses during the outages and prevents transfer to an agent. Can someone please assist? I cannot continue to work this way with unpredictable service when I pay monthly !Business Response

Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***************************** regarding Xfinity Mobile service.
On June 1, 2023, I spoke with ******************** regarding his promotion concern. ******************** purchased a ****** ***** device on August 2, 2022. He activated his device with a new telephone number. At the time of his order, Xfinity Mobile offered a promotion through which eligible customers could qualify for a monthly credit for 24 months that would offset the cost of a device purchased through a device payment plan. Among other things, to qualify for the promotion, customers were required to port in a telephone number from another carrier. Because ******************* activated his device with a new number and did not port a number over from another carrier, he did not qualify for this promotion. ******************** did not make any payment on his account for over three months. The account was deactivated on May 6, 2023, due to non-payment. On May 29, 2023, ******************** paid the entire past due balance on his account, which included the entire remaining balance on his device payment plan (as disclosed in Xfinity Mobiles terms and conditions of purchase). The account is now clear of any charges.
******************** states he was sent a return label via physical mail to return his device. I advised him that Xfinity Mobile send return labels via email and does not typically mail them. Xfinity Mobile has no record of ******************** returning his device. ******************* is not entitled to any refunds or other compensation from Xfinity Mobile.
I have since been unable to reach ********************. I apologize for any inconvenience he may have experienced while a resolution was obtained.

I regret having to send this ....as a legacy costumer for more than 15yrs. My service have been reliable up to about 3-4years. Comcast has somehow backed me into an agreement for a year with the promise that my lack of cable service issue would be resolved. I upgraded change my box and services. Nothing has changed and now and after having my box exchanged 2x times and troubleshooting several times after 2years I was offer a home visit to resolve the matter after requesting a refund of 180 they explain they can only do 60 max... I was then told they would resolve then matter after escalating it and that I would receive a return call within a hour time. 24hours later I called back I was met with a melancholy response and nonchalant attitude about the escalated tickets and promised another call or email with a response to the escalated ticket. I requested copy of these tickets and was denied. 48hours later nothing … I called back and still no response and no call back. my services are still not work full but Comcast sure has double billed me. I say this to everyone check your services and bill because clear this no longer a company we can trust and depend on anymore. Very much disappointed in the customer service misrepresentation and discriminatory language used during my calls in just this month alone. I was told my personal account qualified for a service I did not inquire or request. Comcast has clearly sold its soul to the darkside. Just finished another call and spoke to a supervisor from billing department. They promised verbal resolution but would not provide proof of ticket or proof of resolution to my account. This is issue still continues to be open and unresolved. All the money get out of me for this mediocre service. Is there a Ai service that can provide reliable cable or internet service other than comcast and ********Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:Comcast representation was unkind, attempted to gaslight me and left me feeling drained and just disappointed. My service remains unfixed and although they have made adjustments only after bring it to BBB. Before my claim they did nothing but give me the run around and clearly after it has been the same more excuses and a clear care for onlythere name rather than service. There is still service interruption support no compassion and this previous respond this is another attempt and example to discredit the customer( consumer) yet not provide a reasonable resolution. what is necessary that my service is uninterrupted. It's been more than than 9yrs as a customer but since the pandemic it has been just terrible experiences after another with no true apology or solution.

I am rejecting this response because:Comcast is still denying responsibility yet trying to make an appointment to talk about fixing the issue they are implying does not exist.
Why should I allow them the courtesy to amend the issue at hand if comcast rather not take responsibility.
It appear as if this will go unresolved because of the lack of responsibility.
I am away from home not dead and yes I requested that comcast contact me upon my return if they really want to fix the issue but it appear they just want me to close this claim.
As you can see they took the opportunity to make a response in a unprofessional manner in regards to this very sensitive matter. Almost as if they are showing in plain sight they just do not care. I am just so sad about this. Very triggering and overly stressed "over internet services" are you kidding me.

I have experienced
unsatisfactory service, unsatisfactory engagement, unsatisfactory customer service.
My issues were not rectified but managed and only after reporting it here. I also had several emails from a woman implying that nothing was wrong yet it was service dropping continuously. This was the same up until I left for my trip. Active but still experiencing drops that seem to be unexplainable. Now let look at this. I have had service since 2005 or 2006 not true service issues until the last 2yrs having to swap my box more than 2x. Honestly never noticed otherwise because it's the first I'm home so much. My service dropping was happening at night after midnight. However the one visit seem to come with no solutions...yet here is another bill I'm facing at this time.
I am still away until the 17th and reported this when I was last contacted by email that we could connect about the issue dropping service upon my return.
Then comcast cam back here and tried to closed the case thinking I would not answer although I'm busy...this seems like the same thing is happening again.
If Comcast truly wants to help resolve this issue then stop focusing on controlling the narrative of this and work on the issue with my cable....

**************** currently subscribes to Xfinity Gigabit Internet service at regular retail rates.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is a federal government program designed to help low-income households connect and stay connected to the Internet, and Xfinity is proud to be a participating provider in the program. Under the ACP, current and new Xfinity Internet customers who verify their eligibility for the program through the ********* ******* ************** Co.’s (****) National Verifier and then enroll in ACP with Xfinity can receive a monthly credit of up to $30 (up to $75 per month for eligible customers in Tribal lands) towards their Xfinity Internet and/or Xfinity Mobile services once they complete the full enrollment process by visiting ***************************.
On February 2, 2022, *** ****** was approved for the ACP with Xfinity. On April 3, 2023, *** ****** was de-enrolled from the ACP because she recently moved to a new address. When a customer that is approved for EBB/ACP moves to a new address, they need to go back through the **** National Verifier and change their address to match that of the new one; otherwise, the benefit will fall off because the old address/account is closed. As of to date, *** ****** has not filled out the Xfinity ACP enrollment form at Xfinity.com/acp for her current account. When filling out the Xfinity ACP enrollment form, *** ********* will need to use the application ID received from the National Verifier. Upon approval from the National Verifier and completion of enrollment with Xfinity, the ACP credit will appear on *** ******’s bill in 1 to 2 billing cycles.
On June 6, 2023, I corresponded with *** ****** via email to advise her of the above information and apologized for any inconvenience she may have experienced. In addition, I provided *** ****** with the ACP Support Center phone number at ***** ******** to assist her with completing the ACP enrollment process.
With respect to *** ******’s billing concern, when she transferred her service on April 2, 2023, her account was current, and there were no upfront charges that were required to be paid to complete the transfer of service to her new residence. On May 24, 2023, I spoke with *** ****** regarding a collection notice. Our records indicate that there was an existing balance on *** ******’s current account, which proof of payment is required in order to clear it. As a result, the collection notice received is valid as well as the disconnection notice for non-payment. In addition, I went over *** ******’s billing statements and provided her with a billing explanation of her charges. I also provided *** ****** with a onetime courtesy credit to bring her account current and avoid further service interruption. This credit was reflected on the June 1, 2023 billing statement.

As of Apr 21st I had contracted with Xfinity the Internet Gigabit service for $112 minus $52 in credits every month (I paid $60/mo). Expiration was Sep 02, 2023. That day I called to see if I could test their Xfinity Stream service (like I can do with ***************************** ****, ***** Video, *****+, *********+, *** **** and over 20 providers out there). The Xfinity agent said I had 30 days to try and cancel without any costs. I was specific that I did not want to lose the $52 in credits and my bill should be back to $60/mo. He said that's the way the service works and I proceed to test. My family found the App very hard to navigate and did not use it. I called to cancel (after a week) and Xfinity notified me the Plan I had no longer exists and they bundled me with Internet+TV. That I would be charged now $174.46+$9.12=$183.58 per month! Three times over! I spent over eight hours on the phone with several employees, and although they apologized the agent made a mistake, they had no options to adjust my plan. How come "***************************** ****, ***** Video, *****+, *********+, *** ****" can charge a monthly subscription fee and Xfinity can't? Their explanation was they bundle because that's the best for the customer... my monthly budget and the monetary punishment for testing their service disagree. I only have one broadband option on my residence that can do over 250Mbps, and that's Xfinity. My hands are tied to this provider but I'm being abused by they "package" / "plan".****************************, Xfinity CEO salary $32mill/yr is unjustified with this type of negligence.Business Response

Case Number: ********
Date of Notice: May 23, 2023
Dear Sir/Madam:
This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ******************* regarding Xfinity service.
On June 1, 2023, I communicated with *********************** regarding a billing concern. Our records reflect that on April 22, 2023, ************** added ********* with a TV Box via web order at the standard retail rates. On April 22, 2023, ************** then accepted ********** and Gigabit Internet which included a multiproduct discount. The change of service was accepted by ************** via text message on April 22, 2023.
On May 2, 2023, under the Xfinity 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, ************** downgrade to Gigabit Internet only with Xfinity Flex streaming TV, which includes a multiproduct discount. The account was unable to revert to the previous promotional offer for Gigabit Internet with a contractual discount that was accepted on August 4, 2022, with a contractual rate effective August 8, 2022 through August 3, 2023. The previous offer included three months remaining for the promotional offer when the account was transitioned into the retail rate on May 2, 2023.
On May 30, 2023, a credit was applied to the account to cover the difference in price. The credit was reflected on the June 1, 2023 billing statement. On May 31, 2023, I issued two deferred billing credits to address the remaining price difference. The credits will be applied on June 30, 2023 and July 31, 2023. The credits will be reflected on the July 1, 2023 and August 1, 2023 billing statement.
I explained to ************** that for customers exercising the Xfinity 30-Day Money Back Guarantee for a recent service change: the 30-Day Money Back Guarantee only covers the charges for the services that were changed. If your previous promotion, services or package are no longer available, we will assist you in finding comparable promotions, services or packages that best meet your interests and budget.
I apologized for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
I trust that this letter provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at ********************************.

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:The story is being modified by the provider:
Xfinity state: On June 1, 2023, I communicated with *********************** regarding a billing concern. Our records reflect that on April 22, 2023, ************** added ********* with a TV Box via web order at the standard retail rates. On April 22, 2023, ************** then accepted ********** and Gigabit Internet which included a multiproduct discount. The change of service was accepted by ************** via text message on April 22, 2023.
Response Client (me): I called to test their ********* and NOT to modify my existing Gigabit Internet plan. The Xfinity Agent confirmed this was possible and I could cancel anytime. I accepted via text message, but their message and their agent did not to mention that I would lose the benefits of the existing plan and I would not be able to go back. That was not the service I requested.
Xfinity stated: On May 2, 2023, under the Xfinity 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, ************** downgrade to Gigabit Internet only with Xfinity Flex streaming TV, which includes a multiproduct discount. The account was unable to revert to the previous promotional offer for Gigabit Internet with a contractual discount that was accepted on August 4, 2022, with a contractual rate effective August 8, 2022 through August 3, 2023. The previous offer included three months remaining for the promotional offer when the account was transitioned into the retail rate on May 2, 2023.
Response to Xfinity by Client (me): Incorrect description of events. I never requested to downgrade Gigabit Internet, this was done by your agent as a second error to my account. I requested to remove the ********* service and the Xfinity agent messed my account. I had to spend over two hours of phone time dealing with this second error. Please check the audio recording, your second agent did not do their work correctly once more. I did received your now traditional text, but it failed to disclose I was losing bandwidth and discount credits.
Xfinity stated: On May 30, 2023, a credit was applied to the account to cover the difference in price. The credit was reflected on the June 1, 2023 billing statement. On May 31, 2023, I issued two deferred billing credits to address the remaining price difference. The credits will be applied on June 30, 2023 and July 31, 2023. The credits will be reflected on the July 1, 2023 and August 1, 2023 billing statement.
Response to Xfinity by Client (me): Thank you for the credit and adjusting my account this was a painfully long process, i wish I did not have to involve BBB to have you solve the issues your own employees created on my account.

I was able to speak to **************** on May 23, 2023, regarding his Xfinity Mobile concerns. Our records indicate on March 27, 2023, **************** started service with Xfinity Mobile with one line of service on the unlimited data option. **************** was sent a Sim Card to use in his own device and the line was activated on April 2, 2023.

Xfinity Mobile billed **************** for service from April 2, 2023, to April 11, 2023, at a prorated amount for unlimited data.
Xfinity Mobile service is not free for the first month, Xfinity Mobile apologized to **************** for any miscommunication in this regard. Additionally, on May 24, 2023, a courtesy credit has been applied to ******************** account to offset the charges incurred for his May 1, 2023, bill invoice.

My wife and i have been with comcast for 20 years. It is very difficult to get a rep on the phone so we dread every time we need to do it. Over the course of the last 12 months our bill has constanly been going up. It has ballooned to over 300.00 per month now. I made a call today and was on the phone for over and hour. Spoke with 2 different reps that refused to help. Anything they offered was considerably more money then what we are already paying. They were both very rude to me. I do not think that its fair as a consumer to be forced to a different provider to get a reasonable bill. I have shown loyalty to them over the years but now they refuse to do the same. As a customer that has been with them as long as my wife and i have been i would like a little respect when i make this dreaded phone call.Business Response

I explained effective November 15, 2022, Comcasts offers changed and bundled package like the Super Double Play are no longer available and cannot be reduced.
After reviewing options, **************** selected a 24-month *********** and Gigabit package effective of May 19, 2023, expiring June 14, 2024. On June 15, 2024, the rate will increase expiring June 14, 2025, after which time retail rates will apply.

As a courtesy, I applied a credit to the account on May 18, 2023, that will reflect on the June 4, 2023, billing statement.
On May 19, 2023, I spoke with **************** who realized the Premium channels, *** **** ********* and *** were no longer part of the package. After reviewing consent, I realized I removed the Premier package tier in error. On May 19, 2023, the Premium package containing *** **** ********* ***, ***+, Digital Video Recorder (DVR) service and ******* was added to the account effective May 19, 2023, expiring June 14, 2024, after which time retail rates will apply.
