My family signed a 12-month renewal contract for internet services with Xfinity in June 2024. After reviewing the terms and before agreeing to the contract, we informed the representative of Xfinity that we were relocating in a few months and inquired as to whether the early termination penalty fees would incur if the new address does not have Xfinity services available. The representative assured us that we would not have to worry about the penalty fees in such case because they would waive them for us for being a loyal customer for many years. Upon those words of assurance, we signed the renewal contract. Today, we contacted Xfinity to try to transfer the services and were informed that the services were not available at the new residence. As such, we went ahead and canceled the services. The cancelation specialist, to our surprise, told us that the renewal representative's words of assurance were false and that we had to pay the early termination fees. We are very very disappointed in Xfinity's deceitful business tactics.Business Response

The only way to get a transfer pin ("port out") to change service to another mobile provider is to receive a PIN via sms message. I lost my phone and have purchased one through a new company that I want to transfer my service to. I have called Xfinity to get the transfer pin a different way and they told me the only way is to go to an Xfinity store (which is at least a 90 minute drive from where i am staying this summer). Apparently they can't send the PIN to a different device, or mail it to me or email it to me, or tell me over the phone. Other companies make it much easier to get the transfer pin (e.g. through their app). I can't be the first ****** who lost or broke a phone and took another company up on the offer to get a new phone and new service. This feels like they are holding my phone number hostage (which I have had since 2006 - a long time before I got xfinity service) and making me keep paying for their cell service until I can get to a store.Business Response

dealing with Xfinity Mobile has been a complete nightmare - as I am writing this - My wife ( ***************************** ) and I have made over 50 hours of phone calls and sitting on hold, 5 weeks - of trying to get a phone number transferred. Xfinity has made countless mistakes on this. Took them weeks to send me a SIM card. and they keep making mistakes . Because of this - I lost access to a business line and my clients have no way of contacting me. every day - 3 hours on hold dealing with people who say they will fix the problem but they dont. every day they say someone will call us back - but they dont. AND - they are charging us for a line, that we cannot use. I am demanding not only my money back - but they owe me for the ********************************** addition, their phone system should be checked.. It seems like its designed for FALLOFF - to get people to quit. I even went into one of their storefront locations - and all the workers were able to do - is to make a phone call themselves - to basically tell me I have to call them directly. Companies cannot take advantage of the public this way..Customer Answer

Ben from Comcast called me a few hours after this complaint was filed. He told me he was working on this.
He last messaged me on Monday saying it would be completed by Wednesday. Its now Thursday and no one will call me back when I call. I feel like I am being ghosted.
My business is effectively shut down as I have been without my business phone for a week and a half now. And I cant anyone to talk to me. I am going to have to take legal action for this - but for now - I need my phone number transferred right now. This entire process is horrific. I am losing money every single day because of this.. Please get Comcast to respond to me. This entire company is awful. They should not be allowed to work with the public like this..

I have the top internet package available for home use, the gigabyte download speed for around $100 a month, about 3 months ago I realized it was not the correct speed. Upon contacting them I realized they had dropped me down to the lowest package possible with an ACP Plan? I never applied for that or asked for that. Also during that time I was on the lowest plan possible I was still being billed the normal $100+ per month rate. Over the last 3 months I have been battling with xFinity concerning this issue both over the phone and in the store. Constantly being told it was an issue on their end and it would be fixed not to worry. It was never fixed. My bill going up and down and finally about a week ago my bill was up to $363 and I was told I was going to be disconnected. I contacted xFinity customer service yet again and spoke with a ***resentative and was told about the option for the installment plan. Pay $50 down and then it would take the remaining $313 and split it over the next 12 months. I was honestly tired of fighting back and forth and just wanted my account brought to $0/current and back to my correct speed (as I do work from home). I asked the *** if this would get my services restored and was told yes within 15 min. I agreed, paid the money and nothing. No service. I call back 2 hours later and was told that my account was not eligible for the installment plan (even though it showed up on the website and allowed me to pay for it and I have a receipt showing I got it)but they would have to have my account removed from ACP and this would allow the installment plan to go through and my services restored to the correct speed and my account current. This was last Friday and as of today (the following Thursday) I still do not have service at all and have received no phone calls I was promised. If my account wasn't eligible for this then why did the *** state that I was & why did they take my money for a payment plan? I feel that this is fraud!Business Response

On 7/23/24, I contacted Comcast to inquire about a service outage. After several attempts, I was finally able to contact a live representative. I explained that I did not have TV or internet service. The representative confirmed that there was a scheduled outage, and it would last for several hours. I explained to her that it is very frustrating to pay my bill and then have to deal with an outage that disrupts my services. I had just paid the bill on 7/19/24 in the amount of $279.69. It is very frustrating that Comcast continues to increase my monthly bill each month, after they sent an email notification indicating that I am eligible for a credit of $9.25 to my account, due to a sports channel (Bally's) that is no longer available. The credit was applied, but a month later the monthly bill increased (again) from $253.55 to $288.94 minus the $9.25 credit, which totals $279.69. It is very frustrating to have to contact Comcast to discuss increases and scheduled outages. Moreover, the representative confirmed that I would be receiving a credit for the 7/23/24 outage and I would receive a confirmation email, but I have not received an email regarding a credit. Also, whenever there's an outage Comcast requires customers to call them to request a credit, rather than apply it automatically to the customers' accounts. I will be moving soon and I have not had the time to contact this company about bill increases or file additional complaints. Unfortunately, Comcast continues to use unfair tactics to overcharge customers.Business Response

Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by *******************************.
Comcast, like all other TV providers, pays negotiated fees to video programming networks and broadcasters to bring their channels and shows to Xfinity TV customers. When a contract expires, we renegotiate with the goal of continuing to carry the channel at a reasonable price. Comcast is committed to providing programming its customers want at the best possible value to them; if a programmer is unwilling to reach a renewal agreement on reasonable terms, Comcast may have no choice other than to remove its channels from the lineup. Comcast does everything it can to prevent this from happening and has reached thousands of agreements without interruption. Customers can learn more about how ******************** works to bring customers great content at the best value it can by visiting www.xfinity.com/HowItWorks.
On April 30, 2024, Comcasts agreement with ******************** (DSG) to carry its regional sports network (RSN) Bally Sports expired. As a result, Comcast was no longer authorized to carry Bally Sports with Xfinity or Comcast Business, including any related programming on Xfinity Stream.
Comcast and ******************** reached a new agreement to carry its RSN Bally Sports as of July 28, 2024. Bally Sports is available with the Digital Preferred or *********** levels of video service.
On July 30, 2024, I spoke with **************** and explained the above information. ****************** account is enrolled in *********** and does receive Bally Sports. During our conversation, I provided **************** was a detailed billing explanation. On May 25, 2022, the account was enrolled in a 12-month promotion for *********** and Superfast Internet. The promotion was effective from June 7, 2022 to June 26, 2023. On June 27, 2023, the promotion transitioned to a 2nd year rate effective until June 26, 2024 after which time the retail rate applied. The expiration of the promotion caused the monthly rate to increase. The package was eligible to receive a monthly self-service discount with enrollment in Paperless billing and Automatic payments. The package rate did not include equipment, additional services, or applicable taxes and fees which were subject to change.
In addition, the account reflected ************ three TV Boxes and an Internet/Voice equipment rental. The account is being billed correctly for the services. I reviewed available package and pricing options that may suit her needs. **************** declined to make any changes to the account at this time.
On July 23, 2024, ******************* was affected by an unplanned outage in her area, causing the loss of service for multiple customers. On the same day, ********************* maintenance team identified and corrected the issue causing the outage by replacing hardware.
On July 30, 2024, a courtesy credit was applied to the account which will appear on the August 21, 2024, billing statement. I apologized for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

I had service with Xfinity for a term of few years. I paid every month on time. I moved outside the set area and had to cancel the service. They asked me to return my equipment and I did. I have a receipt from them accepting the equipment. After that I received a final bill of $360 for unreturned equipment. I paid it in full in June and I have my bank statement to prove it along with my Xfinity account confirming it. Through out this process, I kept getting emails reminders to return my equipment. One of them received today 7/24/24. I got in contact with one of Xfinitys live agents, Priya. I told her I had paid the full balance and returned my equipment and that I was still getting notifications from them. I let her know that if anything was outstanding I needed to take care of it because I do not want it going to collections. She proceeded to verify me and said she needed a few minutes to review my account. After that I never heard back from her. I messaged her a few times in the chat following up and no response. This went on for at least 4 hours. No response from them. I have screenshots of the live chat, my receipt for returned equipment and proof of my last bill paid in full.Business Response

I have been overcharged. On April *******, I turned in 2 TV boxes, and a DVR box to the Xfinity store in *******, **. I have a receipt indicating such. I then only had internet. The next billing cycle should have reflected that my bill was prorated for six (6) days for TV, internet and landline phone. I disconnected my landline phone also on April 23, 2024. My next bill, however charged me the standard amount of $290.12 for the time period of April 19 -May 18, 2024. Comcast never recognized that I no longer had TV or landline phone. I was sending them $115.00 a month now, for Internet only, as that is what Comcast quoted for Internet only. I called Comcast repeatedly, explaining, got transferred 4 times to different people, and each person quoted a different amount to me as to what I owed! Now, as of July *******, Comcast disconnected my Internet, without Notice and as of today, July 24, 2024, I received a "Disconnect Notice", and an overdue amount of $243.53. No one at Comcast is consistent or helpful to try to resolve this. I need Internet as I am a cardiac patient and receive Internet messages from my physicians. I paid $290.27 on 3/24/24, $0. For May 19 - June 28, 2024, ( this bill should have reflected Internet only), this bill stated that my next bill would be $115.00 for Internet only, however the next bill, 6/19/24 - 7/18/24 was $290.83. I paid $115. On 7/1/24. Comcast never recognized I only had internet since April 24, 2024. Also, Comcast has replaced my name on the account with the name, *********************. NO ONE by that name has ever lived here but Comcast is blaming me. I told them my account may have been hacked, Comcast didn't care. I need to have my Internet service restored immediately, my bill corrected and my correct name on the bill.Business Response

Upon receipt of this complaint, Comcast conducted an investigation into the concerns raised by ******************. Our records show that in July 2023, ****************** requested a name change from *************************************** to *****************************, due to the death of account holder. Unfortunately, ****************** was unable to provide any supporting documentation, therefore the name change did not take place.
On September 15, 2023, the account name was changed from *************************************** to ***************************** which remained until April 23, 2024. At this point the account name was changed from ***************************** to ********************************* then to *********************.****************** completed a password reset on April 23, 2024.
In regard to the billing concerns, our records indicate that on April 23, 2024,****************** accepted a 24-month effective April 24, 2024, through May 18, 2026.The order included Super-Fast by Xfinity speed tier Internet service for $95/month effective April 24, 2024, through May 18, 2026.
***************** also elected to subscribe to the xFi Complete package which includes the modem rental and unlimited data plan at a $20.00 monthly discounted rate effective April 24, 2024, through May 18, 2025. At the conclusion of the promotion,standard retail rates will apply. ****************** was provided with an email with the subscription details which ****************** approved on April 23, 2024, to her Hotmail.com address on-file. The EMTA/modem device was shipped to the address on file and both devices remained on the account. Any additional equipment,service, tax, or fee is billed separately and subject to change with 30-day notice.
