Xfinity Mobile has been regularly dropping calls and alerting both devices/numbers on the account that there is either no signal, or only emergency signal. As of today (7/18/24), one number on the account cannot make any outbound or receive any calls, and one number is consistently dropping calls without being alerted as to why. In all attempts to call in for technical support, the automated service gives the runaround and makes pretend typing sounds while obviously being an automated voice. When the call finally reaches an agent, the call is dropped before any solution can be reached. Each time the call is dropped, no agent makes any attempt to call back to continue working on the problem.Why are we being charged for a service that does not work, and a technical support service that also does not work? Why are we bound to a contract that promises a functional mobile service when that is provably not the case? Why are no agents making any attempt to get back in touch with a client undergoing service issues, when service issues and dropped calls are clearly communicated as the issue needing to be addressed by the technical service team? Surely there should be some form of free contract break and a refund considering the falsehoods outlined in the service contract and in the assurances of the technical support team. We already had an issue that had to be brought to BBB with false advertising and a recorded technical support conversation where we were blatantly lied to about a deal we were being offered, to the extent that the nonexistent deal we were promised had to be honored. Why must we file another report with the BBB to even hope to achieve actual support on the issues we are having? Why is Comcast pleased with an absolute absence of service or customer care? Why are we being charged anything at all for the absolute inability to make calls? What service is actually being rendered if no phone calls can be completed?Business Response

Case Number:22008093
Date of Notice:July 18, 2024
Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***************** regarding Xfinity Mobile service.
On July 18, 2024, I spoke with ********** regarding their Xfinity Mobile concern. ********** confirmed that his mobile devices (IMEI ending in 4741 and 9841) were working properly after troubleshooting with the Xfinity Care Team on July 18, 2024. We have confirmed the devices are active on the Xfinity Mobile network with the appropriate network features and settings for ************ Xfinity Mobile plan and devices. Our records indicate that there has been call, text, and data usage associated with both of ************ mobile lines during the last six consecutive months.
When speaking with the customer on July 18, 2024, ********** provided the signal strength from his Apple iPhone device (IMEI ending in 9841) which was -103 Decibel-milliwatts and is considered low signal strength. We encourage customers to utilize Wi-Fi calling when in any area with less than optimal network coverage. Wi-Fi calling is a feature offered on most devices on ********************** that allows customers to talk and text over a Wi-Fi network if cellular service isn't available.
As outlined in the Xfinity Mobile Customer Agreement, the device uses radio transmissions to access service. If the device isnt in range of a transmission signal, service may not work. Numerous things can affect the availability and quality of service, including the capacity available on the cellular network, the device, terrain, buildings, foliage, and weather. Cellular service availability is determined by the operator of the cellular network and is not guaranteed. The actual speeds of the Service will vary. Features of service that rely on location information, such as E911 and GPS navigation, depend on the devices ability to acquire satellite signals (which typically are not available indoors) and cellular network coverage. While a Device is receiving a software update, you may not be able to use it until the software update is complete.
As we understand the importance of having a strong network connection, on July 22, 2024, we informed ********** there are no service contacts with Xfinity Mobile and if another carrier better fits their needs, our Care team can assist with providing available Xfinity Mobile information required to port active phone numbers, unlock devices, and cancel services. I apologized for any inconvenience ********** may have experienced while attempting to resolve his concerns.
I trust that this ****** 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 **************.
Sincerely,
**************

For 8 months I have been incorrectly charged $15/month by Xfinity for unreturned equipment that I have never had. On three separate occasions over these 8 months, I have contacted Xfinity to have these charges credited and this equipment removed from my account. Every time I have reached out, the charges have been credited, and I am ensured that the charges would not continue as the equipment has been removed from the account. Yet the charges continue. I currently have $55 in unreturned equipment charges on my account, including late fees. I have also received an automated email from Xfinity saying that if I do not pay my service will be cut off. I have now spent many hours dealing with this issue, and still have no resolution. If this cannot be resolved through the BBB, I will look into alternative legal routes to have these charges cease and to be compensated for the time and frustration, and if the service is to be cut off, any interruption to my business that operates out of my home office.Business Response

We have been loyal Comcast customers and have had a connection at our site for several years. When we recently requested a site survey for upgrading our services, Comcast failed to inform us that we already had an existing active connection at the location. Following the survey, Comcast proceeded to install a new connection without advising us about the existing one.Due to this oversight, we have been billed for two separate connections for multiple years. The usage on one of the connections has been minimal as it was redundant. We requested Comcast to remove the redundant connection and provide us with a credit for the duplicate charges. However, they have refused to accommodate our request.This situation has caused us unnecessary financial burden, and we believe that Comcast should have informed us about the existing connection during the site survey. We request a resolution in the form of removing the redundant connection and providing a credit for the charges incurred on the unnecessary account.Business Response

This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***************************** regarding Comcast Business service.
I communicated with **************** on July 25, 2024, regarding the Comcast Business accounts. I did confirm that they do have two separate Comcast business accounts, a small business account that consists of Business Internet 75, a Basic Voice Line, and a Mobility Voice Line via coax. In addition, they also have an Enterprise business account, that consists of an *** (Ethernet Dedicated Internet) 100/100MB service via fiber, with five static IP address.
I explained to **************** that regarding the site survey for the *** (Ethernet Dedicated Internet) service, the survey tech would not have been looking for a coax connection, they were completing a survey to determine the scope of work needed to run a fiber connection to the location, as they are two different products.
I advised **************** that it is not unusual for clients to have both services and that Comcast does not disconnect any business account without a request and corresponding documentation from the client. In my account research, I was unable to find any such request. Additionally, Comcast has been sending a billing invoice for both accounts, the small business account since 2019 and the Enterprise account since 2021, both of which have always been paid. I apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

On 11/23, Xfinity processed a false charge to my account for Showtime. I NEVER order nor do I even use their remotes (i use my own universal remotes for private services ******** hulu,etc). I never received a bill or had any knowledge until they turned my service off in March. I called and the rep "fixed" the acct and turned on service and removed all charges. Now, they turned off my service 4 times this month ( 3days in a row). I have spent countless hrs on the phone trying to get this fix AGAIN. This is criminal to charge people for services they never ordered and shut service when I pay my cable bill each month thru my association. (bulk acct). These charges need to be removed permanently and my service restored as they were supposed to be back in 11/23. I even have a ticket number ecm0008525514.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 service.
I made several attempts to contact ****************** via telephone and email, however, my attempts were unsuccessful. Our records indicate that on November 4, 2023 Showtime was added to the account via the remote control in the home. On December 31, 2023, ****************** disputed the Showtime charge stating she never ordered the service.
On December 31, 2023, a courtesy credit was applied to Ms. ******** account for Showtime however the channel was not removed. The credit was reflected on the billing statement dated January 15,2024. Due to Showtime not being removed from the account ****************** continued to be billed through July 16, 2024 when the channel was removed from the account.
On July 16, 2024, a prorated credit was applied to Ms. ******** account for Paramount+ and Showtime which was reflected on the billing statement dated July 18, 2024. The billing statement dated July 18, 2024 generated and reflected a past due balance. On July 18,2024, Ms. ******** services were interrupted for non-payment.
On July 22, 2024, credits were applied to Ms.******** account to compensate for Paramount+ and Showtime charges from January 19, 2024 through July 18, 2024. A credit was applied to Ms. ******** account on July 22, 2024 for 4 late fees billed on the monthly billing statements from April 15, 2024 through July 15, 2024.
A late fee applies when an account is past due every 30, 60 and 90 days. A late fee is applied for payments not received within 30 days of the first day of a customers billing cycle and each 30 days thereafter until payment is received. The credits will reflect on the billing statement dated August 13, 2024.
The credits applied on July 22, 2024 cleared the past due balance and the services were restored shortly thereafter. ****************** was provided my direct contact number should she require additional assistance. I apologize for any inconvenience that *** have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

My Comcast/Xfinity cable service was out once again. Feel like I need to call them almost every week. They had to send someone out to fix their problem/issue with their system. When I spoke with them, I told them get someone out here or I will cancel and be happy to cancel my service. They had someone come out 3 days later to fix the issue and no one ever told me there would be a charge. They are charging me $100 for what was their issue that they fix for free or at least let me know. Their service is not even worth what I pay much less the extra charge. They need to refund me ASAP the $100 or I will cancel. They should be happy anyone still has cable.Business Response

On July 5th 2024 Houston was paid a visit by Hurricane *****. Due to the hurricane Internet service is still not active. Being disabled and housebound leaving my home is not an option and Internet usage is a vital part of my daily life so, through no fault of my own, and due entirely to Xfinity s inability to rectify the Internet problems, I was forced to resort to utilizing the Internet available through my Xfinity Mobile phone. As of today my Internet mobile phone bill is in excess of $600 and when calling Xfinity in an attempt to resolve the issue I was advised that they are unable to work with me and that $601.63 remains due and payable. It is not my inability to repair the Internet that created the situation and I feel concessions on the part of Xfinity should be forthcoming. I feel Xfinity is taking unfair advantage of those affected by the hurricane and, further, when calling Xfinity I am greeted by a recording advising Internet remains unavailable and then I am disconnected without being given the opportunity to speak to an actual personBusiness Response

Date of Notice:July 18, 2024
Dear Sir/Madam:
This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ********* regarding Xfinity service.
On July 10, 2024, ******** requested the disconnection of all services with a bill stop date of July 24, 2024. However, on July 16, 2024, a statement was generated for services from July 23 to August 22 because the July 24, 2024, disconnect date had not been reached, and the account was still active.
I spoke with ******** on July 18, 2024, and explained that the July 16 statement was generated because the requested disconnection date of July 24 had not been reached, and the account was still active. ******** confirmed that she understood.
On July 18, 2024, I completed the disconnection order. I informed ******** that the rental modem would need to be returned via *** or taken to an Xfinity store to avoid any unreturned equipment fees. I also clarified that since we disconnected the account on July 18, 2024, the amount shown as owed on the July 16, 2024, statement is invalid and that there is no amount owed on the account.
I apologize for any inconvenience that *** have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.
I trust that this ****** 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 **************.

I called and spoke to a ***resentative. She explained that there has been an increase in the amount of devices in my home causing overages. I asked her what options I had. She stated I should be ok because my plan will ***lenish in 2 days. i asked her was there any options, she told me to go around my house and to take and inventory of what i need on my wifi. she presented no possible solutions. I discover my online bill and it had and overage fees. I called xfinity I finally was able to speak to someone. its seemed as if the were not interested in my concerns so I requested to speak to management. she stated there is no manager available. I hung I called back spoke to a *** he advised me that the previous agent should have advised me of the next best option which is an upsell for the company. I could upgrade for $10 more per month to avoid any overage fees. the *** stated all this could have been avoid if the previous *** did their job correctly. he also issued a credit on the account knowing that this could have been avoided if the previous *** did their job correct. so I called corporate. I spoke to a *** who took down my contact info . the next day I get a call from **** from xfinity. he said he was my case manager. I started to explain to him my concerns. I explained to him xfinity customer service has no level of accountability of their actions. **** then proceed to tell me xfinity has a pretty accurate system calculating overage fees and I was responsible for paying the cost. I asked if he ad listen to the calls, he said no. I advised I was on a 10 minute break and can we reschedule. he totally disregard my concerns of my break time being over.its saddens me to see how a big company like Comcast has failed us while supporting Comcast in a failing economy. I even told ****.... as a consumer, all I am asking for is for fairness as a consumer struggling to make a living ,relying on xfinity services to work from home to provide for my family.Business Response

File Number: 22007351
Date of Notice: July 18, 2024
Dear *** or Madam:
This letter responds to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by ***********************.
In 2016, Comcast implemented an Internet data usage plan that established a usage threshold of 1 TB per month for all of its residential Xfinity Internet customers in ************** area. Effective July 1, 2020, Comcast increased the usage threshold to 1.2 TB per month. Our typical Xfinity Internet customer uses only 427 GB per month. Those very few customers who wish to use more than 1.2 TB per month are provided additional buckets of 50 GB for $10 each,with total overage charges capped at $100 per month. Alternatively,customers can add an unlimited data plan for an additional $30 per month, or sign up for xFi Complete for $25 per month (which currently includes unlimited data, advanced security, and the monthly cost of an xFi Gateway). Under this policy, customers are given one courtesy month per ******** period during which they will not be charged for exceeding the 1.2 TB data usage threshold.[1] If the threshold is exceeded a second time within a 12-month period, no further courtesy months will be provided. ************ exceeded his 1.2 TB usage threshold in December 2023 and received courtesy month credit for this overage. ************ exceeded his 1.2 TB usage threshold again in June 2024, incurring overage charges of $10 for usage of 20 GBs over the 1.2 TB threshold. On July 24, 2024, ************ signed up for the xFi Complete promotion, which includes the unlimited data plan, and has not incurred (and will not incur) any data overage charges for his data usage from July 2024 forward.
Affected customers were notified of the data usage plan policy via ******** mail and/or email approximately one month prior to its implementation. New customers are informed whether a data usage plan applies to their area during the purchase process, and the policy also is clearly disclosed in Comcasts Xfinity ******************** Agreement,[2] Xfinity Internet Broadband Disclosures,[3] as well as its Xfinity Internet Additional Terms[4] and Xfinity Internet Acceptable Use Policy,[5] which all Xfinity Internet customers agree to abide by as part of the ********************** ******************** Agreement. In addition, details of the policy and frequently asked questions are available for review online,[6] and all new customers and customers who accept a new service contract receive a confirmation email that includes a link to the data usage policy during the first week of their contract.
Comcast provides customers with the following methods of tracking and receiving notifications about their data usage:
An individualized data usage meter for every Xfinity Internet account is available through the MyAccount and Xfinity app, MyAccount online, and the X1 platform.
Automatic notification will be sent to customers when they approach, reach, and exceed their data usage allotment.
Comcast has confirmed that the appropriate data usage notifications were sent to ************ when he was approaching, had reached, and exceeded his 1.2 TB threshold.
To ensure the accuracy of its usage meter readings, Comcast has set a goal for daily and monthly measurements to be accurate within plus or minus (+/-) 1% over the course of a month. NetForecast, an independent auditor of the accuracy of ******** usage meters, has published a report analyzing Comcasts methods to obtain accurate data readings and assigned its highest rating of Excellent to Comcasts usage meter. The most recent NetForecast report can be viewed at ******************************************.
As NetForecast has noted,there are many sources of unexpected consumption that may contribute to a households monthly data usage. The most notable sources include:
Automatic Updates: Most modern PC and mobile operating systems and software applications have automatic update features that download and install updates in the background of each connected device in the household. This automation is typically implemented for the users convenience and protection, but the Internet traffic it generates may be significant.
File sharing applications: Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications like BitTorrent, often used to exchange music, movies, and other types of large files, are a common source of unexpected traffic. P2P sharing applications may operate in the background of a users network and devices, exchanging large amounts of data over the Internet without the users knowledge.
Cloud storage services: Many cloud storage services such as ****** Drive, OneDrive, Box, Dropbox, and iCloud are configured with constant synchronization schedules, which can substantially increase the data used by each device and user in the household.
Security related issues: Unexpected traffic may be caused by security compromises affecting a users PC, mobile device, or wireless gateway. Specifically, botnets and malware that have infected one or more devices in the home network can be leveraged for outbound Denial of Service (DoS) attacks against other targets on the Internet, and they can also be used as proxies to route traffic for malicious actors. These attacks may result in significant data use. As a courtesy, Comcast provides Xfinity Internet customers information on how to protect their devices from malware and other security threats.[7]
Customers should secure and actively manage their personal devices and home network.[8] Notably, Comcast does not monitor or track the specific uses individual Internet customers are engaged in or how much data the customer uses for any particular purpose. Comcast merely tracks the aggregate data transmitted to and from a customers modem, without identifying particular types of traffic and their corresponding uses. Comcasts Xfinity xFi app, however, does allow customers with certain ***************************** gateways the ability to monitor all the devices connected to their personal Wi-Fi networks,including the ability to monitor aggregate Wi-Fi usage and to disable Wi-Fi access for any device that is not recognized.[9] Comcast has confirmed that ************** gateway is xFi capable.
On July 24, 2024, a Comcast ***************** Assurance technician spoke with ************ to advise him of the above information. The technician verified that ************** modem is properly assigned and provisioned for his account and that the data usage recorded for the *** address associated with ************** modem is correct. The technician provided his direct contact information so that ************ can contact him with any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Comcast ***************** Assurance
