Comcast / Xfinity
Reviews and Complaints

Internet connection went down 2/28. Now 3/7 and still not fixed. Spent 3+ hours on phone over several days. They missed an appt and then failed to schedule me today as they had promised. Also spent my own time and gas swapping out faulty modem for them. Add to this, that when I checked my bill they increased my modem rental fee in March even though their own announcement on my bill states that they are going up MAY 1st. So, not only are we going to give you crappy service, we going to charge you more for it AND we are going to raise the rates sooner than we said. CHECK YOUR BILLS! WHY ARE THEY STILL IN BUSINESS?

Comcast increased my bill to $180 more a year while advertising $99 a month for the same service. I asked that they charge me the same price they are currently advertising. Their response was "Our promotional pricing is in place to attract new and upgrading customers to our products and services with the hopes of retaining them as valued customers such as yourself. We do offer our existing customers promotional rates on upgrades with qualifying products and bundles. These promotional rates are available for specific terms again with the purpose of retaining loyal customers"

So Comcast says I have to buy more services and upgrade and pay more to save money? Doesn't really make sense to me, especially in this economy when every dollar counts. So as a loyal customer who has paid every bill on time and in full, I am being "rewarded" by having my bill increased by 15%.

Comcast sales department promised free installation, free wireless router, free dta boxes and then comcast billed me $200 for what I was told would be free. They read a script and never listen to people; service people/conractors are poorly trained and can't solve problems, they do not arrive in the time they say they will come, and they have a host of hidden charges for everything. The tv service is the worst I have ever had and it is off more than satelitte tv, but they still bill you. Don't switch to comcast, their reps lie!

If you are having grievances with Comcast Cable, let me refer you to the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. It is federal law and is binding. (Public Law 102-385 - Oct. 5, 1992). Under the CTCPCA, it is illegal for cable companies to force services on you that you explicitly state you do not want, and it is also illegal for cable companies to "hide" services (such as DVR service when you only order HD services) and then all of a sudden, charge you for that service that was once free. These are just some examples. You need to contact the Mayor's office of your township / city, as that is the office responsible for entering into cable company contracts. They will contact the administration offices for you and you will get results.

I cancelled my account with Comcast in August 2009 and I am now getting calls from collection agencies telling me that I have equipment to return. I never received any equipment in the first place! The basic cable service was provided through my apartment complex so all I had to do was hook up my normal cable to the wall. NO EQUIPMENT! And of course this issue could not be resolved over the phone. I'll have to go into one of their offices to stand in a long line to talk to some person who will probably tell me once again that I need to return my equipment. This is the reason why I did not get this service again in my house. Comcast is by far the worst company I've ever been involved with, EVER!

I'm on day two without the premium HD channels that I'm paying for. I returned my HD/DVR box because of a problem. Returned home and followed the usual instructions to activate the box and ended up with 13 channels, note; I subscribe to their top level of programing. After working with Tech Support for over an hour I was told that I needed on site to resolve the problem as they could not communicate with the new box. Not only was my "new" HD/DVR box out of commision but the attempts to activate it KILLED my other HD box.
Well, the appointment was set for the next day betweel 11 and 2 PM, so I was told. When Comcast did not arrive by 2 PM I called to inform them. The young lady that handled my call researched wha happened and informed me that one of their customers who had no problems unexpextidely received my service call by mistake. I have nothing but praise for this Tech for remaining calm the whole time while sucessfuly calming my down in the process. My service call was rescheduled for tomorrow between 2 and 5 PM.
Now, as a "Tripple Play" custmer I have NO phone service!I went online (at least that still works) to report the problem to be told they already know about the problem. Until 3 or 4 years ago I had been with Verizon since day one and probably called them once in 30 years compared to the infeior product and support for it that I'm (we) are recieving from Comcast.
I was given a $20 dollar credit today for the blotched service call but what I would tottaly prefer would be 5 minutes in a room with the CEO of Comcast. I would stuff the 20 bucks down his throat then ask him if that was adequate compenstion for a day of his time.
Verizon looks better every day, the only t5hing holding me back is the lck of FIOS in my city which is what I will be aggresively lobying for next.

I have had techs come out twice because of "tiling" or pixelation issues, freezing picture, "blinking" where screen goes dark and picture comes up again, or skipping audio and picture (sound repeats as if stuck). They have replaced cable, cable box and connectors. Still not working right. People all over CA are experiencing this same problem, so it can't be all OUR fault. I want cable to ask themselves if their new digital migration might have a glitch.

I have a complaint about Comcast and their collection of fees that should not be. I am sure I am not the only one who is hit with these fees, and also am sure that many people don’t realize this. Last month I had a shut-off from Comcast, because I was not able to get all my bills paid (who is?). The disconnect notice said I would be charged a $5.00 reactivation fee for each of my services (Cable, Phone, Internet) that are shut-off if not paid. I called them, made payment arrangements by making a credit card payment then (12/31/10) and a post-dated check for the rest (1/15/11) with a $4.00 fee for making this arrangement. The check cleared, and I thought everything was ok, until I got my bill and found they still charged the $15.00.

I just got off the phone with them, and they told me that they could charge me the fee, because they did shut my service off. They claimed that in the middle of the night, while I was sleeping, on 1/4/11, they shut off my services for non-payment. They then immediately turned my services back on because I had made the post-dated check payment. In doing this, they were legally able to charge me the reactivation fee, and they will not remove it. Their explanation was that the post-dated check was not enough to NOT turn my services off, but was enough to immediately turn them back on. Like What? I mean WHAT? I feel this is just a way that Comcast, the largest cable company, and now owner of NBC Universal, finds a legal loophole in which they can charge additional fees to customers without them realizing it.

What burns me the most, is that Comcast is adding this additional charge to people who, in a shut-off situation, obviously can’t afford it anyway – us lower class. I just started working again after 26 months of layoff, and am trying to get past bills caught up. If there was someone other than Comcast I could use, I would switch because of this – but there isn’t, so I can’t. I am stuck paying their “illegally motivated” fees.

The equipment change is for all customers.brian brick > well, ok, i appreciate it, but just so you know this is very wrong and for all customers, as it mentions nothing of a possible equipment rate charge increase on my service agreement, and i am sure that this would not be looked on very well in court as its also very convieniant for you all to all of a sudden charge me the 13-24 month rate & call it an equipment rate, when that is not at all what is stated in my bill here.brian brick > (1/9 - 2/8)Service (Recurring charges)$109.99One-time fees, PPV, Usage (Non-recurring charges)$0.00Taxes, surcharges, fees$6.70Total bill$116.69Payments/CreditsPayment received 1/1 - Thank you$112.76Total (previous + current) due 01/24/2011$116.69brian brick > my recurring charge is 89.99 so is in error whow ever you wanna see it, or try to rearrange it to fit, by bill clearly states what it it, and its wrong.Rozanne > I understand Brian.Rozanne > I am really sorry for the inconvenience.Rozanne > Here is what I will do. I will process a credit for $10 for the inconvenience this has caused you. But moving forward, total charges including the fee will be $113.63.Rozanne > This is including the equipment charges as well.brian brick > 109.99 is for months 13-24, so if this is how it works the God knows how much you'll try and charge me then for used rental equipment.brian brick > well that is still the wrong price, so just stop ... make it what it should be and lets stop playing this game, i am locked in a contract with you, and so if thats the case, then it is at a fixed rate you can't just say that is for monthly service and then raise the equipment as you like, no, cause who would ever think that, because then you could raise the modem price to $100.00 am month plus the monthly rate & if people balked at it you could just threaten them with an early termination fee, thats just sad and totally wrong, no one in their right mind would ever agree to that, besides the fatc that it is totally not at all what is stated in my service agreement.brian brick > 112.76 untill moths 13-24, thats it and if you can't do that as agreed to, then please to come and get your stuff as i'm not paying a penny more for so much inconviniance.brian brick > i should by all rights be given a monthly discount for all this non sense, not charged more.Rozanne > I understand the frustration Brian but please understand that in today’s challenging economic environment Comcast continues to add value to our products and make technology and service improvements. However Comcast, like many other companies, continues to experience increasing business costs, including rising programming expenses and equipments rates increase.brian brick > all i see is a breach of contract, and i'm tired an i just want out, this is and has all been a complete waste of time.Rozanne > Comcast has worked hard to minimize the impact of these increases on customers and rest assure that the EMTA monthly rate will not increase in the next few years.brian brick > then tell that to your NEW CUSTOMERS, NOT your prexisting ones that have already been given a contract and fixed rate, either that or lets just take this whole mess to court and see what a judge might have to say about it all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian but the agreement is only inclusive for the services stated not the taxes and equipment charges.brian brick > because the whole thing just smells like a scam to me, and has no basis in reality, and is so pleagued with error from the beginning ... and is all just far to convieniant for you all, and i just luv how it started out as a tax argument and when that didn't wok all of a sudden became an equipment issue which just so happened to fit that price exactly, hmmm ...Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. Again, for the current charge, I will be crediting $3.93 and total credit will be $10 for the incovnenience but there is nothing we can do about equipment price change Brian.brian brick > is not stated like that any where and so i want out of the agreemnt then as it is totally unfair and not written or mentioned like that at all, and like i said its a complete scam then, cause you could just up equipment prices to anything one a person is locked in, as you did to me, cause funny how it all just happened to fall just outside of the 3 month termination clause, and funny how your modem increase just happens to match the 13-24 month charge, and funny how all of a sudden a tax issue all of a sudden became an equipment issue ...Rozanne > New rate from $5 will be $7 for modem EMTA charge. Rozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come & get your equipment then cause i quite and i'll see you in court then for an obvious breach of contract !brian brick > that is so much b.s. and you know it, where was the notice, where is is stated in my bill, no ... its not like that at all, its a complete scam is what it is and i'm through !brian brick > you all have wasted my whole night with this non sense and lies, and now i have to get my kids ready for school, thank you very much ... i'm so done with you all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian. Comcast has a lot of more great service to offer. I hope you still stay with Comcast. Your current service has a very low rate compare to the full value rate for the same service which will go up to $170. Rozanne > I want you to know that the $10 credit has been appliedRozanne > You can take the amount off from the current total balanceRozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come get your lousy crap if 3.99 means that damn much to you that you can lie and try and cheat me and waste all our time like this, if 3.99 means more to you than keeping a good customer that already has a contract than fine ... i'm done and you can keep it !Rozanne > I am sorry Brian.brian brick > i have seen nothing but errro faulty equipment and agents that are completely incompetant, my service has been lousy since i got this, it took over a month for them just to supposedly put in the right code just to activate my block call service, which i had to waste my time calling in about over and over just to find out the agents had botched it and it needed to be redone, how convinient for you all and then a nother week or so for it to become active, thats real nice.brian brick > how do you thibnk this unprofessionalism effects your customers when your agents can't even get a simple thing like that done right.brian brick > i'm sorry to.brian brick > come and get your stuff this has wasted my whole night now, what to speak of a whole day i had to wait around here to have faulty equipment replaced, time is money and you think that didn't effect me at all, and now you people want more from me ... no way.Rozanne > I will make sure that will be investigated and correct actions will be taken Brian. I am really sorry. Here is what I can do, to add for compensation for inconvenience this has caused you, I will add free hbo for 12 months.Rozanne > Oh I see HBO was already addedRozanne > I am sorryRozanne > I will go ahead and increase the credit from $10 to $15. This is all the credit I can give Brian.brian brick > i don't want hbo, i don't need or watch it even, so that is in no way any kinda compensation, the only reason i have cable is for the package deal and so my kids can watch cartoons and stuff, i hate tv so forget that, thats no deal at all ... i want my bill straightened out to what it should be and thats it, and by all rights if you really wanna compensate me at all, give me a monthly discount, hbo is not gonna help me one bit., i'm on social security with a limited income and never agreed to any of this.Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. That is the credit I can give. I can not apply any other discounts in your services because currently you have the lowest discounted rate we have.Rozanne > I am really sorry. But rest assure that there will be no equipment rate increase Brian except for this.brian brick > no, i can not accept that at all ... i am not paying you a dime more for some used piece of equipment that i am in contract with you for already, that is not part of the agreement, and that 3.99 a month adds up to be alot over time and thats a loaf a bread or more for us, you don't understand that and i am in no position to be able to give u a single cent more, and so if u want ya 3.99 increase that bad you can have it, keep it, and keep all your lousy equipment and service, as i'm not having it and if you wanna break ya contract like that then by all rights so should i and so we'll jsut say good bye, call it a day and that will be that and we both loose, but i can find another supplier, i am not gonna pay for the way i have been treated and the service i have recieved from comcast, i can not belive it.brian brick > if you truly want my buisness then i'll respectfully accept your $15.00 credit and you can honor your monthly rate of 89.99 as well.brian brick > if you can not at least do that then we'll just part ways amicably here and now and you all can just come and pick up your stuff.Rozanne > I am so sorry Brian. $15 credit has been applied. You can take this off from your current bill. This is all the credit I can give. I am really sorry. This will show in your next bill as service adjust credit.brian brick > that is fine, but i am not paying you any additional 3.99 eaqupiment charges or any other previously unmentioned charges and if you don't like that, i guess we all can just take this whole matter to court, because you and i both know that this just isn't right !Rozanne > That will be additional of $2 Brian. I am sorry. There is nothing I can do with the equipment charge. brian brick > i have my service agreement contract right here, plus that is not how it is stated in my current bill at all, and i was given no notice or any thing about this change, and so i guess we will see just how a judge will feel about all this, as this is complete non sense.brian brick > there is something you can do, you can remove it, as i never agreed to it and the contract does not state that it is subject to further equipment charges or changes as i am merly renting previously used equipment from you, so how can that even be ... tell it to someone else cause i quit.Rozanne > Equipment are good as new even if it is used already Brian. I can not remove this charge since that will disable your internet and phone service.brian brick > yah they look real great as well when they come all scratched up, besides that i'm not debating how well they work or not, thats not the point, point is that they are used, already bought and paid for and no reason to increase the price once already sold or rented, tell it to a new renter.Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. If there are any issues with the equipment, you can always have it swapped in the service center. I am sorry again, I can not do anything with the price change for modem rental. brian brick > you can remove the charge, you can remove the charge just as you added it without changing my service, and just like you can make a credit adjustment you can change that charge as well or at least add it up then, 3.99 x 24 = 95.76brian brick > thats what you can do for me then or i am gone and that is that.Rozanne > I can not because that will disable the service.Rozanne > I can not do that Brian.brian brick > liarRozanne > If you want, you can call our local service center area and check if EMTA/MODEM is available for purchasebrian brick > noRozanne > So that you will not have to pay monthly charge.brian brick > you do what iis contractRozanne > I am sorry. brian brick > no, it is alreasdy rented at an agreed price.brian brick > i am not paying you anything more for something that is no more and is not costling you any more, especially considering all the errors in service that i have had to put up and deal with from you.brian brick > time is money, i had to sit here and get a new cable box installed as well wehn the ole one which was brand new failed and then was replaced with an ole scratched up one that at least seems to work better, but in any case ... you can not expect any more money out of me for any of this !Rozanne > I am sorry Brianbrian brick > i'm sorry to then Rozanne, come pick up your stuff when my period has ended.brian brick > i will find another proveder then, sorry.Rozanne > You need to call our loyalty department to set up cancellation. You can call them at 1800 9346489brian brick > but i will be damned if i will be trappd in any kinda contract termination thing, when my contact has been breached to begin with.brian brick > no i don't have any more time to put into this ... i tell you what, just let my bill run up till you have toi take me to collections and then we will see you in court and all this will be discussed and we'll just see what any judge has to say about it, i'm done wasting my time.brian brick > i am not calling or talking to any one else about this, if you can not handle this situation appropriately then i am done, deal with it.Rozanne > I will close this chat now Brian if you do not have any more questions. Again, I am sorry for the equipment charges rate. Credit has been applied.Rozanne > Thank you for contacting Comcast.Rozanne > Goodbye now.brian brick > yah thanx ... we'll see you in court then eventually i guess, thanks for your time.brian brick > this is redicuousbrian brick > good bye thenbrian brick > have a nice day and that you so much for once again ruining and wasting all of mine.

Rozanne > Hi Brian.Rozanne > I am a supervisor.brian brick > hellobrian brick > thank youRozanne > Please give me a minute or two to reviw the conversation.Rozanne > A minute more please.Rozanne > Thank you so much for waiting.Rozanne > I apologize for the delay.brian brick > my whole service has been pleagued with so many errors, mistakes, faulty equipment, wasted time & all out unprofesionalism & complete incompetence, and now you all have the nerve to wanna charge me more to an already fixed amount when that is not what has been reflected in my bill here at all.Rozanne > I am really sorry for the inconvenience Brian but the caused of the changed is due to change on monthly fee for EMTA/Modem monthly charge. It goes from $5 monthly charge too $7.Rozanne > Let me see what I can do.brian brick > yah, ok ... as i don't understand that one bit, as that wa snever mentioned to me in the sales agreemnet at all, and how can you charge a person more on an already used modem, i can see if you wanna raise your price for new customers but that is totally unfair & not right for prexisting customers with a previous agreement, besides and as i mentioned, why so much error then and why is that not what is stated in my bill here ?Rozanne > I understand where you are coming from Brian. Equipment charges are actually not included on the rate mentioned on the website.brian brick > no, no one ever mentioned nor is it written anywhere that equipment was subject to price change or increase, your just told that your locked into a fixed monthly rate.brian brick > its certainly not listed in any of the paper work i have here, and it's not listed that way in my bill at all.brian brick > according to my paper work my bill is not supposed to be or increase to that amount untill moths 13-24Rozanne > It is actually stated in the Service Agreement. The paperwork actually indicates that it is only for the services not including the taxes and equipment charges.Rozanne > I am sorry for the confusion.brian brick > how can you charge a person more for a peice of used equipment that they already have a rental agreement with you for anyway, thats just not right.brian brick > well no one changed equipment though, so that is totally misleading as well, because if anyhting i should be given a discount as now i have an older much more used and scratched up cable box sitting here that was o replace the brand new one i got when it was installed that just quit working.Rozanne > I understand. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Let me see what I can do Brick. The equipment change is for all customers.brian brick > well, ok, i appreciate it, but just so you know this is very wrong and for all customers, as it mentions nothing of a possible equipment rate charge increase on my service agreement, and i am sure that this would not be looked on very well in court as its also very convieniant for you all to all of a sudden charge me the 13-24 month rate & call it an equipment rate, when that is not at all what is stated in my bill here.brian brick > (1/9 - 2/8)Service (Recurring charges)$109.99One-time fees, PPV, Usage (Non-recurring charges)$0.00Taxes, surcharges, fees$6.70Total bill$116.69Payments/CreditsPayment received 1/1 - Thank you$112.76Total (previous + current) due 01/24/2011$116.69brian brick > my recurring charge is 89.99 so is in error whow ever you wanna see it, or try to rearrange it to fit, by bill clearly states what it it, and its wrong.Rozanne > I understand Brian.Rozanne > I am really sorry for the inconvenience.Rozanne > Here is what I will do. I will process a credit for $10 for the inconvenience this has caused you. But moving forward, total charges including the fee will be $113.63.Rozanne > This is including the equipment charges as well.brian brick > 109.99 is for months 13-24, so if this is how it works the God knows how much you'll try and charge me then for used rental equipment.brian brick > well that is still the wrong price, so just stop ... make it what it should be and lets stop playing this game, i am locked in a contract with you, and so if thats the case, then it is at a fixed rate you can't just say that is for monthly service and then raise the equipment as you like, no, cause who would ever think that, because then you could raise the modem price to $100.00 am month plus the monthly rate & if people balked at it you could just threaten them with an early termination fee, thats just sad and totally wrong, no one in their right mind would ever agree to that, besides the fatc that it is totally not at all what is stated in my service agreement.brian brick > 112.76 untill moths 13-24, thats it and if you can't do that as agreed to, then please to come and get your stuff as i'm not paying a penny more for so much inconviniance.brian brick > i should by all rights be given a monthly discount for all this non sense, not charged more.Rozanne > I understand the frustration Brian but please understand that in today’s challenging economic environment Comcast continues to add value to our products and make technology and service improvements. However Comcast, like many other companies, continues to experience increasing business costs, including rising programming expenses and equipments rates increase.brian brick > all i see is a breach of contract, and i'm tired an i just want out, this is and has all been a complete waste of time.Rozanne > Comcast has worked hard to minimize the impact of these increases on customers and rest assure that the EMTA monthly rate will not increase in the next few years.brian brick > then tell that to your NEW CUSTOMERS, NOT your prexisting ones that have already been given a contract and fixed rate, either that or lets just take this whole mess to court and see what a judge might have to say about it all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian but the agreement is only inclusive for the services stated not the taxes and equipment charges.brian brick > because the whole thing just smells like a scam to me, and has no basis in reality, and is so pleagued with error from the beginning ... and is all just far to convieniant for you all, and i just luv how it started out as a tax argument and when that didn't wok all of a sudden became an equipment issue which just so happened to fit that price exactly, hmmm ...Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. Again, for the current charge, I will be crediting $3.93 and total credit will be $10 for the incovnenience but there is nothing we can do about equipment price change Brian.brian brick > is not stated like that any where and so i want out of the agreemnt then as it is totally unfair and not written or mentioned like that at all, and like i said its a complete scam then, cause you could just up equipment prices to anything one a person is locked in, as you did to me, cause funny how it all just happened to fall just outside of the 3 month termination clause, and funny how your modem increase just happens to match the 13-24 month charge, and funny how all of a sudden a tax issue all of a sudden became an equipment issue ...Rozanne > New rate from $5 will be $7 for modem EMTA charge. Rozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come & get your equipment then cause i quite and i'll see you in court then for an obvious breach of contract !brian brick > that is so much b.s. and you know it, where was the notice, where is is stated in my bill, no ... its not like that at all, its a complete scam is what it is and i'm through !brian brick > you all have wasted my whole night with this non sense and lies, and now i have to get my kids ready for school, thank you very much ... i'm so done with you all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian. Comcast has a lot of more great service to offer. I hope you still stay with Comcast. Your current service has a very low rate compare to the full value rate for the same service which will go up to $170. Rozanne > I want you to know that the $10 credit has been appliedRozanne > You can take the amount off from the current total balanceRozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come get your lousy crap if 3.99 means that damn much to you that you can lie and try and cheat me and waste all our time like this, if 3.99 means more to you than keep

It goes from $5 monthly charge too $7.Rozanne > Let me see what I can do.brian brick > yah, ok ... as i don't understand that one bit, as that wa snever mentioned to me in the sales agreemnet at all, and how can you charge a person more on an already used modem, i can see if you wanna raise your price for new customers but that is totally unfair & not right for prexisting customers with a previous agreement, besides and as i mentioned, why so much error then and why is that not what is stated in my bill here ?Rozanne > I understand where you are coming from Brian. Equipment charges are actually not included on the rate mentioned on the website.brian brick > no, no one ever mentioned nor is it written anywhere that equipment was subject to price change or increase, your just told that your locked into a fixed monthly rate.brian brick > its certainly not listed in any of the paper work i have here, and it's not listed that way in my bill at all.brian brick > according to my paper work my bill is not supposed to be or increase to that amount untill moths 13-24Rozanne > It is actually stated in the Service Agreement. The paperwork actually indicates that it is only for the services not including the taxes and equipment charges.Rozanne > I am sorry for the confusion.brian brick > how can you charge a person more for a peice of used equipment that they already have a rental agreement with you for anyway, thats just not right.brian brick > well no one changed equipment though, so that is totally misleading as well, because if anyhting i should be given a discount as now i have an older much more used and scratched up cable box sitting here that was o replace the brand new one i got when it was installed that just quit working.Rozanne > I understand. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Let me see what I can do Brick. The equipment change is for all customers.brian brick > well, ok, i appreciate it, but just so you know this is very wrong and for all customers, as it mentions nothing of a possible equipment rate charge increase on my service agreement, and i am sure that this would not be looked on very well in court as its also very convieniant for you all to all of a sudden charge me the 13-24 month rate & call it an equipment rate, when that is not at all what is stated in my bill here.brian brick > (1/9 - 2/8)Service (Recurring charges)$109.99One-time fees, PPV, Usage (Non-recurring charges)$0.00Taxes, surcharges, fees$6.70Total bill$116.69Payments/CreditsPayment received 1/1 - Thank you$112.76Total (previous + current) due 01/24/2011$116.69brian brick > my recurring charge is 89.99 so is in error whow ever you wanna see it, or try to rearrange it to fit, by bill clearly states what it it, and its wrong.Rozanne > I understand Brian.Rozanne > I am really sorry for the inconvenience.Rozanne > Here is what I will do. I will process a credit for $10 for the inconvenience this has caused you. But moving forward, total charges including the fee will be $113.63.Rozanne > This is including the equipment charges as well.brian brick > 109.99 is for months 13-24, so if this is how it works the God knows how much you'll try and charge me then for used rental equipment.brian brick > well that is still the wrong price, so just stop ... make it what it should be and lets stop playing this game, i am locked in a contract with you, and so if thats the case, then it is at a fixed rate you can't just say that is for monthly service and then raise the equipment as you like, no, cause who would ever think that, because then you could raise the modem price to $100.00 am month plus the monthly rate & if people balked at it you could just threaten them with an early termination fee, thats just sad and totally wrong, no one in their right mind would ever agree to that, besides the fatc that it is totally not at all what is stated in my service agreement.brian brick > 112.76 untill moths 13-24, thats it and if you can't do that as agreed to, then please to come and get your stuff as i'm not paying a penny more for so much inconviniance.brian brick > i should by all rights be given a monthly discount for all this non sense, not charged more.Rozanne > I understand the frustration Brian but please understand that in today’s challenging economic environment Comcast continues to add value to our products and make technology and service improvements. However Comcast, like many other companies, continues to experience increasing business costs, including rising programming expenses and equipments rates increase.brian brick > all i see is a breach of contract, and i'm tired an i just want out, this is and has all been a complete waste of time.Rozanne > Comcast has worked hard to minimize the impact of these increases on customers and rest assure that the EMTA monthly rate will not increase in the next few years.brian brick > then tell that to your NEW CUSTOMERS, NOT your prexisting ones that have already been given a contract and fixed rate, either that or lets just take this whole mess to court and see what a judge might have to say about it all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian but the agreement is only inclusive for the services stated not the taxes and equipment charges.brian brick > because the whole thing just smells like a scam to me, and has no basis in reality, and is so pleagued with error from the beginning ... and is all just far to convieniant for you all, and i just luv how it started out as a tax argument and when that didn't wok all of a sudden became an equipment issue which just so happened to fit that price exactly, hmmm ...Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. Again, for the current charge, I will be crediting $3.93 and total credit will be $10 for the incovnenience but there is nothing we can do about equipment price change Brian.brian brick > is not stated like that any where and so i want out of the agreemnt then as it is totally unfair and not written or mentioned like that at all, and like i said its a complete scam then, cause you could just up equipment prices to anything one a person is locked in, as you did to me, cause funny how it all just happened to fall just outside of the 3 month termination clause, and funny how your modem increase just happens to match the 13-24 month charge, and funny how all of a sudden a tax issue all of a sudden became an equipment issue ...Rozanne > New rate from $5 will be $7 for modem EMTA charge. Rozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come & get your equipment then cause i quite and i'll see you in court then for an obvious breach of contract !brian brick > that is so much b.s. and you know it, where was the notice, where is is stated in my bill, no ... its not like that at all, its a complete scam is what it is and i'm through !brian brick > you all have wasted my whole night with this non sense and lies, and now i have to get my kids ready for school, thank you very much ... i'm so done with you all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian. Comcast has a lot of more great service to offer. I hope you still stay with Comcast. Your current service has a very low rate compare to the full value rate for the same service which will go up to $170. Rozanne > I want you to know that the $10 credit has been appliedRozanne > You can take the amount off from the current total balanceRozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come get your lousy crap if 3.99 means that damn much to you that you can lie and try and cheat me and waste all our time like this, if 3.99 means more to you than keeping a good customer that already has a contract than fine ... i'm done and you can keep it !Rozanne > I am sorry Brian.brian brick > i have seen nothing but errro faulty equipment and agents that are completely incompetant, my service has been lousy since i got this, it took over a month for them just to supposedly put in the right code just to activate my block call service, which i had to waste my time calling in about over and over just to find out the agents had botched it and it needed to be redone, how convinient for you all and then a nother week or so for it to become active, thats real nice.brian brick > how do you thibnk this unprofessionalism effects your customers when your agents can't even get a simple thing like that done right.brian brick > i'm sorry to.brian brick > come and get your stuff this has wasted my whole night now, what to speak of a whole day i had to wait around here to have faulty equipment replaced, time is money and you think that didn't effect me at all, and now you people want more from me ... no way.Rozanne > I will make sure that will be investigated and correct actions will be taken Brian. I am really sorry. Here is what I can do, to add for compensation for inconvenience this has caused you, I will add free hbo for 12 months.Rozanne > Oh I see HBO was already addedRozanne > I am sorryRozanne > I will go ahead and increase the credit from $10 to $15. This is all the credit I can give Brian.brian brick > i don't want hbo, i don't need or watch it even, so that is in no way any kinda compensation, the only reason i have cable is for the package deal and so my kids can watch cartoons and stuff, i hate tv so forget that, thats no deal at all ... i want my bill straightened out to what it should be and thats it, and by all rights if you really wanna compensate me at all, give me a monthly discount, hbo is not gonna help me one bit., i'm on social security with a limited income and never agreed to any of this.Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. That is the credit I can give. I can not apply any other discounts in your services because currently you have the lowest discounted rate we have.Rozanne > I am really sorry. But rest assure that there will be no equipment rate increase Brian except for this.brian brick > no, i can not accept that at all ... i am not paying you a dime more for some used piece of equipment that i am in contract with you for already, that is not part of the agreement, and that 3.99 a month adds up to be alot over time and thats a loaf a bread or more for us, you don't understand that and i am in no position to be able to give u a single cent more, and so if u want ya 3.99 increase that bad you can have it, keep it, and keep all your lousy equipment and service, as i'm not having it and if you wanna break ya contract like that then by all rights so should i and so we'll jsut say good bye, call it a day and that will be that and we both loose, but i can find another supplier, i am not gonna pay for the way i have been treated and the service i have recieved from comcast, i can not belive it.brian brick > if you truly want my buisness then i'll respectfully accept your $15.00 credit and you can honor your monthly rate of 89.99 as well.brian brick > if you can not at least do that then we'll just part ways amicably here and now and you all can just come and pick up your stuff.Rozanne > I am so sorry Brian. $15 credit has been applied. You can take this off from your current bill. This is all the credit I can give. I am really sorry. This will show in your next bill as service adjust credit.brian brick > that is fine, but i am not paying you any additional 3.99 eaqupiment charges or any other previously unmentioned charges and if you don't like that, i guess we all can just take this whole matter to court, because you and i both know that this just isn't right !Rozanne > That will be additional of $2 Brian. I am sorry. There is nothing I can do with the equipment charge. brian brick > i have my service agreement contract right here, plus that is not how it is stated in my current bill at all, and i was given no notice or any thing about this change, and so i guess we will see just how a judge will feel about all this, as this is complete non sense.brian brick > there is something you can do, you can remove it, as i never agreed to it and the contract does not state that it is subject to further equipment charges or changes as i am merly renting previously used equipment from you, so how can that even be ... tell it to someone else cause i quit.Rozanne > Equipment are good as new even if it is used already Brian. I can not remove this charge since that will disable your internet and phone service.brian brick > yah they look real great as well when they come all scratched up, besides that i'm not debating how well they work or not, thats not the point, point is that they are used, already bought and paid for and no reason to increase the price once already sold or rented, tell it to a new renter.Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. If there are any issues with the equipment, you can always have it swapped in the service center. I am sorry again, I can not do anything with the price change for modem rental. brian brick > you can remove the charge, you can remove the charge just as you added it without changing my service, and just like you can make a credit adjustment you can change that charge as well or at least add it up then, 3.99 x 24 = 95.76brian brick > thats what you can do for me then or i am gone and that is that.Rozanne > I can not because that will disable the service.Rozanne > I can not do that Brian.brian brick > liarRozanne > If you want, you can call our local service center area and check if EMTA/MODEM is available for purchasebrian brick > noRozanne > So that you will not have to pay monthly charge.brian brick > you do what iis contractRozanne > I am sorry. brian brick > no, it is alreasdy rented at an agreed price.brian brick > i am not paying you anything more for something that is no more and is not costling you any more, especially considering all the errors in service that i have had to put up and deal with from you.brian brick > time is money, i had to sit here and get a new cable box installed as well wehn the ole one which was brand new failed and then was replaced with an ole scratched up one that at least seems to work better, but in any case ... you can not expect any more money out of me for any of this !Rozanne > I am sorry Brianbrian brick > i'm sorry to then Rozanne, come pick up your stuff when my period has ended.brian brick > i will find another proveder then, sorry.Rozanne > You need to call our loyalty department to set up cancellation. You can call them at 1800 9346489brian brick > but i will be damned if i will be trappd in any kinda contract termination thing, when my contact has been breached to begin with.brian brick > no i don't have any more time to put into this ... i tell you what, just let my bill run up till you have toi take me to collections and then we will see you in court and all this will be discussed and we'll just see what any judge has to say about it, i'm done wasting my time.brian brick > i am not calling or talking to any one else about this, if you can not handle this situation appropriately then i am done, deal with it.Rozanne > I will close this chat now Brian if you do not have any more questions. Again, I am sorry for the equipment charges rate. Credit has been applied.Rozanne > Thank you for contacting Comcast.Rozanne > Goodbye now.brian brick > yah thanx ... we'll see you in court then eventually i guess, thanks for your time.brian brick > this is redicuousbrian brick > good bye thenbrian brick > have a nice day and that you so much for once again ruining and wasting all of mine.

Rozanne > Hi Brian.Rozanne > I am a supervisor.brian brick > hellobrian brick > thank youRozanne > Please give me a minute or two to reviw the conversation.Rozanne > A minute more please.Rozanne > Thank you so much for waiting.Rozanne > I apologize for the delay.brian brick > my whole service has been pleagued with so many errors, mistakes, faulty equipment, wasted time & all out unprofesionalism & complete incompetence, and now you all have the nerve to wanna charge me more to an already fixed amount when that is not what has been reflected in my bill here at all.Rozanne > I am really sorry for the inconvenience Brian but the caused of the changed is due to change on monthly fee for EMTA/Modem monthly charge. It goes from $5 monthly charge too $7.Rozanne > Let me see what I can do.brian brick > yah, ok ... as i don't understand that one bit, as that wa snever mentioned to me in the sales agreemnet at all, and how can you charge a person more on an already used modem, i can see if you wanna raise your price for new customers but that is totally unfair & not right for prexisting customers with a previous agreement, besides and as i mentioned, why so much error then and why is that not what is stated in my bill here ?Rozanne > I understand where you are coming from Brian. Equipment charges are actually not included on the rate mentioned on the website.brian brick > no, no one ever mentioned nor is it written anywhere that equipment was subject to price change or increase, your just told that your locked into a fixed monthly rate.brian brick > its certainly not listed in any of the paper work i have here, and it's not listed that way in my bill at all.brian brick > according to my paper work my bill is not supposed to be or increase to that amount untill moths 13-24Rozanne > It is actually stated in the Service Agreement. The paperwork actually indicates that it is only for the services not including the taxes and equipment charges.Rozanne > I am sorry for the confusion.brian brick > how can you charge a person more for a peice of used equipment that they already have a rental agreement with you for anyway, thats just not right.brian brick > well no one changed equipment though, so that is totally misleading as well, because if anyhting i should be given a discount as now i have an older much more used and scratched up cable box sitting here that was o replace the brand new one i got when it was installed that just quit working.Rozanne > I understand. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Let me see what I can do Brick. The equipment change is for all customers.brian brick > well, ok, i appreciate it, but just so you know this is very wrong and for all customers, as it mentions nothing of a possible equipment rate charge increase on my service agreement, and i am sure that this would not be looked on very well in court as its also very convieniant for you all to all of a sudden charge me the 13-24 month rate & call it an equipment rate, when that is not at all what is stated in my bill here.brian brick > (1/9 - 2/8)Service (Recurring charges)$109.99One-time fees, PPV, Usage (Non-recurring charges)$0.00Taxes, surcharges, fees$6.70Total bill$116.69Payments/CreditsPayment received 1/1 - Thank you$112.76Total (previous + current) due 01/24/2011$116.69brian brick > my recurring charge is 89.99 so is in error whow ever you wanna see it, or try to rearrange it to fit, by bill clearly states what it it, and its wrong.Rozanne > I understand Brian.Rozanne > I am really sorry for the inconvenience.Rozanne > Here is what I will do. I will process a credit for $10 for the inconvenience this has caused you. But moving forward, total charges including the fee will be $113.63.Rozanne > This is including the equipment charges as well.brian brick > 109.99 is for months 13-24, so if this is how it works the God knows how much you'll try and charge me then for used rental equipment.brian brick > well that is still the wrong price, so just stop ... make it what it should be and lets stop playing this game, i am locked in a contract with you, and so if thats the case, then it is at a fixed rate you can't just say that is for monthly service and then raise the equipment as you like, no, cause who would ever think that, because then you could raise the modem price to $100.00 am month plus the monthly rate & if people balked at it you could just threaten them with an early termination fee, thats just sad and totally wrong, no one in their right mind would ever agree to that, besides the fatc that it is totally not at all what is stated in my service agreement.brian brick > 112.76 untill moths 13-24, thats it and if you can't do that as agreed to, then please to come and get your stuff as i'm not paying a penny more for so much inconviniance.brian brick > i should by all rights be given a monthly discount for all this non sense, not charged more.Rozanne > I understand the frustration Brian but please understand that in today’s challenging economic environment Comcast continues to add value to our products and make technology and service improvements. However Comcast, like many other companies, continues to experience increasing business costs, including rising programming expenses and equipments rates increase.brian brick > all i see is a breach of contract, and i'm tired an i just want out, this is and has all been a complete waste of time.Rozanne > Comcast has worked hard to minimize the impact of these increases on customers and rest assure that the EMTA monthly rate will not increase in the next few years.brian brick > then tell that to your NEW CUSTOMERS, NOT your prexisting ones that have already been given a contract and fixed rate, either that or lets just take this whole mess to court and see what a judge might have to say about it all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian but the agreement is only inclusive for the services stated not the taxes and equipment charges.brian brick > because the whole thing just smells like a scam to me, and has no basis in reality, and is so pleagued with error from the beginning ... and is all just far to convieniant for you all, and i just luv how it started out as a tax argument and when that didn't wok all of a sudden became an equipment issue which just so happened to fit that price exactly, hmmm ...Rozanne > I am sorry Brian. Again, for the current charge, I will be crediting $3.93 and total credit will be $10 for the incovnenience but there is nothing we can do about equipment price change Brian.brian brick > is not stated like that any where and so i want out of the agreemnt then as it is totally unfair and not written or mentioned like that at all, and like i said its a complete scam then, cause you could just up equipment prices to anything one a person is locked in, as you did to me, cause funny how it all just happened to fall just outside of the 3 month termination clause, and funny how your modem increase just happens to match the 13-24 month charge, and funny how all of a sudden a tax issue all of a sudden became an equipment issue ...Rozanne > New rate from $5 will be $7 for modem EMTA charge. Rozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come & get your equipment then cause i quite and i'll see you in court then for an obvious breach of contract !brian brick > that is so much b.s. and you know it, where was the notice, where is is stated in my bill, no ... its not like that at all, its a complete scam is what it is and i'm through !brian brick > you all have wasted my whole night with this non sense and lies, and now i have to get my kids ready for school, thank you very much ... i'm so done with you all.Rozanne > I am really sorry Brian. Comcast has a lot of more great service to offer. I hope you still stay with Comcast. Your current service has a very low rate compare to the full value rate for the same service which will go up to $170. Rozanne > I want you to know that the $10 credit has been appliedRozanne > You can take the amount off from the current total balanceRozanne > I am really sorry.brian brick > come get your lousy crap if 3.99 means that damn much to you that you can lie and try and cheat me and waste all our time like this, if 3.99 means more to you tha

Comcast offering a $250 Amazon.com Gift card when signing up for their triple-play (Xfinity). After waiting six months for the rebate, I contacted Comcast who has no idea of what I was talking about. They gave a phone number to contact Amazon.com but when I called the number, it turned out to be Comcast -- the same number I had called! Openned a ticket with ActivationCenter but nothing. This is ILLEGAL!

I tried to get cable and couldnt because apparently i am being billed for and out standing bill that is 14 years old then when i asked what where the places of service it was an address i never lived and i was 16 years old never heard of the house or the address . I called the fraud dept. threw social security and reported fraud when they look they said that i never lived in those houses and they will send me a report.and to call the cable company and that the cable company has to erase that bill and start me a new account even if i had to take id to the cable company proving it was me they are still giving me problems. told me that it was my social and i am resposible that what comcast said and social security said they cant make me responsilble for something thats not mine.. Comcast are crooks how are you going to bill someone a bill that dont belong to them 14 years later unbelievable...

After being advised that cable was changing over to all digital signals and that older TV's would have to have an adapter to receive these channels, I wen out and bought a nice Samsung HD flat screen for my kitchen. I assumed that because this TV was able to receive digital signals, I would not need the adapter. I pay for HD service and have a DVR on other TV's in my home, but this one is only for my kitchen and I really don't need movie channels, so I don't need a box. I hooked up the TV without the adapter and I received all my local stations as well as others in both HD and STD. GREAT!. Then I realized I was not receiving all my cable channels. Called COMCAST and the said I must use the digital adapter. So I did, but what I got was all STD broadcasts! All the standard HD channels that the local stations broadcast and that I was receiving were blocked! What a scam! The only way to receive the HD local channels and get the channels you are already paying for is to pay for another HD BOX FROM COMCAST! What a way to rip off your customers! Since I only want to watch the news in the kitchen, I threw the digital adapter out and plugged the cable straight into the TV. I get a better picture and can watch local stations in HD WITHOUT PAYING COMCAST FOR IT! THE FCC SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS...THIS IS FRAUD IN MY OPINION! It's just a way to get more money out of people already paying a fortune for cable service

I had comcast cable and Internet for a few years sans problems, so when a rash of break-ins were occurring in the neighborhood I decided to have Comcast install an alarm in my house.

First, the installer drilled through a pocket door during installation ( after he opened it and walked in the room). Second, a "supervisor" came to fix the damage. He used a clear gel to fill holes in sheet rock! Despite the eyesore, I felt I needed the alarm being a single woman living alone.

Well, I got robbed last week and the alarm didn't go off. After trying to contact the alarm folks for 2 days I got a response.I wanted the service discontinued.I was told I'm being held to my contract regardless and that the alarm company is not responsible in anyway. I will never use or recommend Comcast services again. One rep even had the audacity to ask me if I watch the news, that crooks know how to bypass the alarm and turn off! Well, if that's the case why hasn't Comcast, the large corporation that it is, solved that problem?

Comcast guy came to install the cable in my mothers home. My mother is 76 years old he was so rude and smelled like alcohol. While he was in the attic my mother over hurt him calling her stupid old ### don't know a cable from a hole in the grown. My mother was so afraid that her body was shaking 2 hours later wen I got home all she remembered that the truck was white and from camden county ga. Ohh and his name was clint baine or maine or lane one of the 3 name but she was not 100 % sure and we was not abel to make the name out clearly on the ticket but it looks more like lane. Like I said my mother said he was drunk.

I am in disbelief how incredibly bad Comcast has been.

A comcast representative in BestBuy approached me telling me I could get a better deal for triple play than my current comcast service. He looked up my account and even told me I was paying way too much for it. He set me up, but I had to 'cancel' my existing service before I could switch to the bundle. I received a letter stating I would receive a check for $38.86 for the unused balance of my old service. I received a check for $3.86 instead. Called them up and they said I did not return the cable modem, hence the $35 fee. I OWN my modem! I now have to prove that my equipment is my own.

A new installer would have to come and install the new HD box. $50 fee.

TV worked, but internet only worked to comcast site, no other sites.

HOURS on the phone finally got the internet working.

Received a HD Tivo as a gift. Could not use it unless you pay the Comcast tax for a cable card. I was told a installer HAS to come out and plug the card in for me. Installer takes several of my splitters and cables I had laying out. Says that I won't need these. After he leaves find out only the basic cable worked on Tivo, not the HD stations I am paying for.

HOURS on the phone. They said they had to send another installer out. The installer comes, and calls to his office. He says the 'billing code' was not set correctly in the computer. I receive a $50 charge on my bill for this 'SERVICE'.

I will be switching to AT&T as soon as the current offer expires, and hopefully never return. I've also convinced many other people to switch to another provider.

Purchased comcast internet service for my parents for christmas 2010. I live in a differnt state. My father was going to purchase a computer after he saw what mine could do with connected internet services. The self-install kit arrived before I flew in from out of town, so I asked my mother to put it aside, and she did. When I got there, it was the friday night before the holiday. I didn't get the chance to plug the self-install kit until that sunday. So, I rememberd the guy telling me over the phone that they would send a modem. Well, the modem did not arrive with the kit. That sunday, it was too late to track the order, so I went to bestbuy to purchase a modem. I called comcast services, told them that I had gone out to purchase a modem because one did not come with the self-install kit. You'd think they would write that down. After hooking that up and calling in to open the service, I showed my father how the internet worked. He eventually said that he did not want the service. So a few days after getting back home, I call in to cancel the service. The attendant on the line says that in shreveport, comcast cannot cancel the service without returning the modem. I told her that we had never seen the modem. Now they want to charge me for a modem I never received. Not only that, they do not want to cancel the service because they cannot find their modem. This sucks! I thought comcast was better than this. This is why I personally subscribe to at&t.

Comcast sells consumers promotional services that they call "bundles" or packages" to convince you to buy cable tv + internet + phone service. After the promotional time is done, they convert your services to the highest unbundled prices, which means they charge you for each service individually at their highest price, which amounts to double what you were sold.In my case, the salesperson told me that the price would go up a little, not 100%! Unfortunately I didn't check my bills and kept making payments. When I noticed and called, they told me that I could sign up for a bundle of the services that would save me a bunch of money each month! Well, yeah, that's what I thought i'd signed up for... Why they sold me a bundle and then not convert to the same bundle's normal price after the promotion ended is something that they do not acknowledge as a bad practice but something that I as a consumer should have been aware of by reading my bill carefully and calling in to request the "change"! They said they could not go back and adjust my bill. Nothing I could do but pay up. What happened to company ethics and trust? Definitely ethics is not alive in comcast.

I was moving overseas so I closed my internet account with Comcast on sep 10 at one of their stores. Was told my remaining balance is $66 and I will have a credit to my account of $6. Even got a receipt for the closing which shows 0 balance.

Just so happened that I have a buddy that was helping me collect my mail in the States. One of the mail was from a debt collector, collecting $26 for Comcast! and it was a notice to send bad debt to the credit bereau.

I called Comcast to get an explanation. They said that the billing cycle was not over and I was to expect another bill.

I said the Comcast guys at the outlett did not tell me I was supposed to get another bill. What they told me was that I was done on the payment and I am supposed to receive a credit. Guess what billing dept told me... she said, well, they guys at the store are not the billing experts. You should have called us, the billing department to clarify.

What an answer. So, everytime I close an account and I am told that I have a credit, I have to call billing department to get clarification! This is absurd and ridiculous!

If I did not have some one getting my mails for me, I would not have even seen that bill and my credit score would have been dinged.

I would tend to understand for utility services you would have to wait a billing cycle to know the final amount, but on a set monthly charge internet service charge that do not fluctuate, you would expect a new bill?!

Damm. Unbelievable! I know the amount is small, but, man it pisses me off that they would provide such answers and horrible service. Never again I will be a customer with Comcast. I hope you guys rot.
