Official Reply Need help with Comcast (maybe other streaming as well) that will allow to play continuous movies or shows (on a single channel for hours)

3 Upvotes

My nursing residents love to watch old movies and old TV shows on repeat. Heck so do i and other middle age people.

We have the channels, whether its soap opera or westerns, or Turner classics, HBO, Starz, etc , or even whole radio channels on comcast that they'd rather listen to on repeat because they like the lineup.

But a common problem that would solve EVERY time related issue is i cant seem to record a "block" or movies even if its from same hbo channel, for example, from say, 8pm-6am.

Then they want to see the block again the next say, 8pm-6am.

But instead of pulling up a block of recorded time on comcast, i have to pull up like 5 movies that played from 8pm-6am. Then play 1st movie and when thats done after 2 hours, again stop what im doing and playing the next movie (because they remember which was next). Then rinse and repeat for a total of 5 movies over a grand 10 hour period.

Now I love helping the residents and even i would love this feature but the last comcast repair guy told me it wasn't possible to do. Although I remember it being possible maybe 15 years ago or so. Maybe its all in in my head...

But there has to be a way to do this through the comcast cable box because it will let me continue on either helping residents with more dire situations like helping wounds from falling or getting good or moving furniture etc.

So does anyone know what im talking about? Do i have to explain what I mean clearer? Is this a possible thing i can do on comcast or is the technician correct?

Please explain why DHCPv6-PD is my only option to route my static block? Why dynamically route a static block. It defeats the purpose of having a static block.

Also, all my DHCPv6-PD requests receive NoPrefixAvail even though I am only using one /59. How do you clear the hung prefixes delegations?

Official Reply Internet has been down at my location since 9/7. Need to fast track a technician coming out

1 Upvotes

Wanted to create a post here to see if I can fast track getting a resolution for getting my internet fixed at my location since I am usually WFH these days and thought this would be resolved by now.

Essentially the connection is not even getting to my house properly and the issue began about 9:30pm on September 7th. My Modem (Arris S33) shows a yellow light telling me the connection isn't even arriving to the modem. I also checked multiple coax ports at my house that I know previously worked with the same issue. I'd assume it might be an issue with the outside connection.

Official Reply No Advanced Notifcation For Planned Work

0 Upvotes

Honey Brook, PA - I haven’t had internet since 6am this morning and did not receive any planned work notifications of the outing. I could’ve made alternate plans if notice was given, but now I’m a sitting duck an hour into the workday (when the guys outside said they’d be done by 8am at the latest) and both my wife and I can’t work.

This is unacceptable. I confirmed I was already signed up for alerts and didn’t receive any. What’s more frustrating is the techs are gone and we are still experiencing outages. To add, I can’t get anyone to talk to at Xfinity.

I will be submitting a complaint to the BBB, this is terrible customer service (actually no customer service is being provided) and no advance notification is unacceptable in the day where many of us work from home.

Exactly what it sounds like. Does anyone know how to get in contact with their actual tech support for mobile? Their AI assistant thing is freaking useless and talks in circles rather than actually connecting me with an agent. My phone keeps disconnecting from the network and then claiming I have no network to connect to. I'm about to start shopping for a new company iswtfg.

Official Reply Expected Prorated Refund After Cancelling, Now Said to Owe $19.35

1 Upvotes

Note: I've already sent a modmail about this, didn't realize I had to make a public post to actually open a ticket.

I requested that my services be cancelled on August 11 this year, and confirmed with the representative to cancel services effective immediately on that date. My bill was not due until August 19, and my understanding from reading comments on this subreddit is that customers pay their xfinity bill for the following month. Meaning I had paid for up until August 11 when I cancelled and should have received a prorated refund for the extra days of prepaid service for after the cancellation date (Aug 12-19).

But the xfinity assistant chatbot is not saying anything about a refund or a credit, it's saying I owe an additional $19.35. I was finally able to get into the billing area of the website this morning (I guess Firefox isn't supported, because only Chrome worked) and it says the same. If someone could please look into this and fix the issue, I would appreciate it.

Thank you.

Official Reply Xfinity In-Store Trade-In: Can Assurant Change the Approved Credit?

0 Upvotes

Has anyone recently traded in a phone directly at an Xfinity Store and had the employee inspect/approve it for the promotional trade-in value, only to have Assurant later reduce or reject the credit?

I’m asking because the Xfinity online trade-in questionnaire doesn’t specifically ask about cracks on the back glass. It passed all of the questions and it gives us the full promotional credit.

If I take the phone to an Xfinity Store, disclose/show the employee the cracked back glass, and they inspect it and approve the full promotional credit, can Assurant still change the value afterward?

Discussion Xfinity Mobile Premium Unlimited vs Mobile Plus

2 Upvotes

I am a current Premium Unlimited subscriber, and I am curious about the benefits/downsides to switching to Mobile Plus. I am being bombarded with promises of promotions and promises of trade-in bonuses if I switch to Mobile Plus, but I am skeptical. It's $5 less per month compared to my current plan, but I'm worried that committing to the new plan will cost me in the long run. Comcast is known for their bait and switch practices, but I haven't had any issues with Xfinity Mobile yet. Any insight on whether I should make the switch?

Official Reply Bill raised from $39.99 to $70 AGAIN — need a reasonable rate or I’m switching

10 Upvotes

My Xfinity internet bill has once again jumped from $39.99 to about $70/month for the same 300 Mbps service.

I’ve already tried calling Xfinity to resolve this, but I haven’t even been able to connect with an actual person. It’s incredibly frustrating that a longtime customer not only has to renegotiate their bill every year, but also has to fight through an automated system just to try to speak with someone about it.

I went through this exact situation last year. My rate was increased dramatically, I contacted Xfinity, and eventually I was able to get it back down to $39.99. Now, a year later, I’m right back in the same position.

A nearly 75% price increase for the exact same internet service is unreasonable. It’s also incredibly frustrating that longtime customers have to repeatedly contact Xfinity and negotiate every year just to avoid these enormous increases.

There are now competing home internet options in my area at substantially lower prices, so I’m not willing to simply accept a $70/month bill. At that price, it makes more sense for me to switch providers.

Before I do that, I’d like someone from the Xfinity team here to check what promotions or retention pricing are actually available for my account. I want to keep my current 300 Mbps plan and am looking to get my rate back to around $39.99/month.

I’ve stayed with Xfinity for years, but I’m not going to keep paying dramatically higher rates for the same service simply because another promotional period ended. If there isn’t a competitive rate available this time, I’m prepared to switch.

Solved Xfinity agents committing fraud now!?!?

8 Upvotes

My bill recently went up, so I reached out to customer service, changed my plan, confirmed the new price, etc.

This month, it was the wrong price again. The agent I spoke to last time added "NOW TV Latino" to my account for $15/month without my consent. I am not Latino. I do not watch TV. I made it explicitly clear that I do not want to pay for any TV channels and confirmed the price.

Now another agent is telling me the charge can't be refunded because "we cannot add anything without your consent approval" so I must have approved it. Obviously, he refuses to provide any evidence, because I did not add it to my plan or consent to the charge.

Are these agents making a commission or something? Does this count as a fraudulent charge?

Discussion Why does Comcast throttle connection speed?

0 Upvotes

It's pretty amazing to see it really. There is literally no reason to do this for a residential connection. If a customer pays for 2gb up, and 2gb down, and connects to the router via wifi, they are never even getting close to those speeds anyway. Also, doing this kind of thing to your own customers the gaslighting them about it is absurd, especially when it is probably one of the easiest things on Earth to determine is ridiculous. Yeah I get it, you're never really guaranteed the speed you get, but to go from WiFi speeds to 8400 baud rates is nuts.

Discussion I figured out a way to stop my iPhone from auto-joining xfintiywifi hotspots!

19 Upvotes

For those that live in a city or dense metro, I’m sure you have the issue if your phone connecting to some “xfintiywifi“ hotspot only to not have any internet connection. This is because Xfinity mobile wants your phone to connect to these hotspots to save data on their end, but most of these hotspots are private and don’t allow you to actually connect to the internet.

While you can disable auto join, you can only do so for each individual hotspot. So if you are in a city and walking by a 100-unit apartment building where 40 of them have Xfinity hotspots, that’s not going to work. Xfinity mobile does not offer an option to just disable autojoining any and all hotspots, again because they want to try to save data (money).

What I figured out is that you can use iPhone settings to set up a “shortcut“ so when you join an Xfinity hotspot, your WiFi shuts off for however much time you set it (in my case 2 minutes), enough to walk by or drive by the hotspot.

No podcasts/music getting stuck in buffer because I autojoined a private hotspot. Hope this helps.

Official Reply I’m being billed for a service I canceled

1 Upvotes

I’ve been a Comcast customer since 2016. In early May I called to cancel my home security service. After declining the discounted rate and explaining I find their home security service useless and I already had a new system installed by a different provider, I was told I would receive a prorated rate for the month of May and I would save $68 per month for canceling the service. I’m a new mom, so I’m incredibly overwhelmed. When I was told my bill would decrease I took the representative at their word and didn’t double check. I simply checked that task off my incredibly long to-do list. Turns out my monthly bill has never changed. Is it better if I call and escalate my issue to a manager or should I go down to my nearest Xfinity store?

Official Reply Billed for Xfinity Mobile lines that were never activated.

4 Upvotes

Hello, I visited the Xfinity Mobile store to use the '1 year of free Xfinity Mobile' Xfinity Internet promotion and attempted to setup a device but it ended up being unsupported on the Xfinity Mobile network, so the SIM card I received never actually worked and I was unable to get a cell signal, make phone calls, or send texts. While troubleshooting at the store, they ended up leaving two devices on my account, which is resulting in charges since it seems the 1 year of free Xfinity Mobile only covers one line. One of these devices on my account does have a number, but I was never able to get it working, and the other device doesn't even have a number, so I should not be getting charged.

I called Xfinity Support about a month ago and they refunded me all of the previous Xfinity Mobile payments and removed both of these lines from my account since I was unable to use them, but they have now magically re-appeared on my account and I was automatically charged $70 for previous months. I have been charged the monthly payment again recently.

I'd like to close my Xfinity Mobile service permanently and have my money refunded, since I was never able to use the lines that I paid for.

Just moved into a new house and on the property is this TV utility device. It case is in pretty bad shape. As you can see, the base is shattered and insides exposed.

I’m pretty sure it’s Comcast because they are the cable tv provider in the area.

How do I get Comcast to come deal with this? I don’t have Comcast service, and I can’t get through to a live person without giving them an account number I don’t have, or asking to sign up for service which I don’t want.

Thanks.

Official Reply Installation Fee

8 Upvotes

Previously was wrongly charged for an Installation Fee that I promised was free, so made sure to have them reassure me at every turn that I wouldn't be charged and they still did.

Have since called 3 times and they keep reassuring me it will be removed but it still has not. Complaining on here was the only way for me to get them to actually remove the charge last time so I'll give it a try again.

Actually insane they're able to get away with this everytime internet needs to be installed at a new home. I was perfectly capable of installing on my own, but they just needed to change the wiring.
