If you are reading this, then you are probably seeing RED. You are so pissed at Comcast / Xfinity that you want to call Comcast headquarters to complain and explain to every executive how their company has screwed you over. But the sad truth is…. This will not give you the satisfaction you’re looking for. The folks at the top don’t care, and go to great lengths to insulate themselves from just such interactions. What you really want: is your issue to immediately be fixed, your bill adjust for your time and effort, and to be heard (or said another way, to be treated like a human being). Don’t waste more time and energy calling Comcast HQ to complain. Instead, focus on getting your issues fixed and your bill adjusted. Use the information below to escalate your issue through to resolution.

I have had internet service through xfinity, and we just added t.v. service for activation on the 2nd of Feb, 2019 , we did self install ,and the dvr box was faulty, we drove round trip 85 miles to the nearest store to exchange the dvr box. This one needed form ware update, we were told that we would have a service tech at our house by 10 am next day, to disregard what the text message said about the scheduled appt date. well no one showed up. Now were told a tech will be here tomorrow.

Matt in Harrisburg solutions listened and noted my complaints and I left message on his supervisor Johns phone that Matt had an exceptional demeanor as he listened and noted my complaints. Matt was the most positive experience with Comcast infinity. 1) please realize that your robot should not try to tell me what I need . It is enough for robot to verify name, address and last 4 social #. I should then simply state tech,,billing etc. and not be tortured by robots constant batter of questions so that I am totally furious…Also, your mobile tech dept. needs update on Sumsung Galaxy S9 plus. When I purchased (2) of them from infinity I was assured help when needed,,The last time I needed volume and after taking me thru settings and moving volume button it still would not ring aloud…Your tech support told me the phone was defective and gave me directions to Samsung store. Instead I called Samsung and 123 it was ringing aloud. Please get your techs a Samsung Galaxy S9 plus phone so the can help and give techs training on this phone…I am not getting what I am paying for….Thank You
I have been charged for over a year for the cable box when I did not need one. I am not very Tech smart but I won in 2017 a new 65 inch TV which had Hulu and 11 other( Apps?) on it I then signed up with Xfinity cable and Internet. I asked often and also when the installer was in my home if I needed the cable box. No real advice was given but the cable was installed anyway. My daughter’s friends told me this December that I never needed the box and only needed internet to get TV shows. I am not receiving any service anymore. I can no longer afford the cable box at this time and it was hard to before . I feel they took advantage of my lack of knowledge about my new TV as I had had a 2008, 46 inch Sony HD tv. I was being charged for something I didn’t need. It would have been so nice had they shown me how to best use their service with the type of new TV I had.
I’ve been paying for Blast! internet service (150 mbps top speed) AND $10 a month for something called speed boost AND $13 a month for a modem.
It turns out the modem I’m paying for does NOT support the speed I’m paying for! This has been well over 2 years (that’s as far as I can see the bills)
I’ve talked to tech support – billing – a lot of people. ALL of them agreed I was paying $10 a month for literally nothing (because of the modem limitation).
BUT – no one had authority to actually refund the charge. So they opened a ticket and escalated it. I’ll get a call back within a week.
TWO weeks – no call back. So I called today (3/12/19) and in effect stat all over – though I had a ticket(which of course I still had to explain the issue.
And what happened? Of course I talk to first line help – who are trained to “apologize” and “understand” but I knew could not do anything. Impatient – I finally convinced him to transfer me.
And I was – to another person who “understood” and “apologized” but – surprise! – did not have the authority to do anything but that.
I refused to hear that I’d get a call back from someone – so the person on the phone did all she could to research. And yet – in the end – she could NOT give me the credit on my account deserved. And rather than make the dispute drag on for months – I was willing to take 2 years of $10 credit ($240).
So once again, my file is updated with the assurance it will be handled.
The fact is- this likely is happening to many customers – if you don’t check the specs on the modem you get from Comcast, you have no idea if it can deliver the speed you’re paying for.
So I mentioned this COULD be a class action lawsuit and my next stop is the Attorney General’s office for my state. Still – she could not give me that large of a credit on my account – and I doubt I’ll hear back from anyone else.
So – now that I’m done typing this- I’m looking up the process for the State’s Attorney.
We found out recently that we had been paying for equipment we do not have for TWO YEARS. Was told we were going to be reimbursed (300+). We waited and did not hear anything from Comcast. Called today and was told we were given the wrong information, that most COMCAST does is TWO MONTHS reimbursement. This IS NOT OUR FAULT AND COMCAST BASICALLY IS SAYING, OH WELL, TOO BAD BUT WE ARE NOT REIMBURSING YOU FOR TWO YEARS!!!!! OUR NEXT STEP IS THE BBB BECAUSE THIS IS VERY WRONG!!!
