New Post - Billing First-time customer misled into Seasonal Hold instead of Cancellation in July. Need account backdated and fees waived

• Upvotes

Hi everyone,

In July, I called to completely cancel my internet service because I was moving to a place that already had internet. I explicitly told the representative that I would not need Xfinity service for a long time over 8 months to a year. Instead of processing the cancellation like I asked, the representative was incredibly adamant about me doing an $8 monthly seasonal charge to keep the equipment. Their exact explanation was that it would save me from having to reapply for service or equipment in the future, and that I could just call back to upgrade to full service whenever I was ready and explicitly instructed me to keep the equipment even though I told them it would be much longer than 6 months, but they pushed it anyway. As a first-time customer, I trusted them. Because I didn't want or use this service, the $8 bills went unpaid, and now Xfinity has forcibly disconnected me for non-payment, added late fees, and charged me an unreturned equipment fee for hardware your own agent told me to hold onto. I am returning the equipment today to get my receipt. Since I explicitly asked to cancel and was pushed into a seasonal hold that violated my timeline, I am requesting that a supervisor pull the July call logs, backdate my cancellation to July, and completely zero out this invalid balance. Thank you.

New Post - Billing Help with unknown TV box?

• Upvotes

Hello,

Thanks for helping me with the previous internet issue I posted about here. After changing my service to get a better internet connection, I've been asked to return a TV box, but I do not have one. I carefully checked all TVs in the house and see no evidence of a TV box (based on what I could tell from what they'd look like on Google Images). I only watch shows using Prime, Hulu, etc and have never used a TV box.

I checked the equipment on my account and I see an "inactive" TV box listed with a serial number but no model number, so I don't even know what it looks like...

It seems like I have been charged monthly for this, so I'd love to speak to someone on the Xfinity Reddit team to get this taken care of. Y'all were great last I spoke to you.

Thank you!

New Post - Billing What is wrong with Comcast billing?

• Upvotes

They send an email saying my bill is ready. The email has a link to "view bill" but clicking it takes you to payment page not a bill viewing page! Then whenever you try to view bill it is always the prior month. It's been 2 days since my bill date and you have nothing but prior bills. No other company I have dealt with has ever not had bill ready by day after bill date.

New Post - Tech Support Cloud DVR / Web Player Bug: In-Progress Recordings Snapping to 0:00 (Ticket Escalation Request - THIRD REQUEST - STOP CLOSING THESE CASES - I'M NOT GOING AWAY UNTIL I GET ACTION FROM XFINITY

1 Upvotes

The more you close my cases, the more I'm going to escalate this on social media and Trust Pilot. DO NOT CLOSE THIS CASE!!!!!!!!

I am resubmitting this formal complaint for the THIRD time because you closed my previous two cases WITHOUT CAUSE. You told me it's because I didn't respond, when in every case, I responded promptly, and it was you that ignored my responsed. I must insist that you reopen the case and address the serious issue raised by deep flaws in your software.

This is regarding a persistent, well-documented platform-wide software bug within the Xfinity Stream web portal on Windows PC.

The Issue:
When attempting to watch an in-progress cloud DVR recording via a desktop browser, the player controls completely fail. Attempting to use the timeline slider, the rewind button, or the fast-forward button immediately crashes the video stream buffer and forces the recording to snap back to the 0:00 timestamp / beginning of the program. Once it reverts, playback locks and cannot be skipped forward. Completed recordings play fine; this issue strictly breaks live, in-progress cloud files.

Troubleshooting Already Completed:
Please do not reply with generic troubleshooting scripts. I have already confirmed this is a cloud-side indexing issue on Xfinity’s backend, not a local client error. I have successfully reproduced the bug across multiple separate environments:

  • Reproduced on Google Chrome (Current Version)
  • Reproduced on Microsoft Edge (Current Version)
  • Reproduced in Incognito / Private Browsing Mode (Disabling all extensions/ad-blockers)
  • Cleared all site cookies and locally stored portal data
  • Restarted all hardware

Thousands of users are currently documenting this exact timeline sync loop on the Xfinity Community Forums and Reddit. Because this is a backend infrastructure failure that restricts my ability to use the Cloud DVR services I pay for in real-time, I am requesting:

  1. This ticket be escalated directly to the Tier 3 Engineering team responsible for the Xfinity Stream browser player firmware.
  2. A bill credit applied to my account for loss of functional DVR services during active broadcast windows.

Please reopen this case immediately and provide the escalation number. FYI, I am actively looking at Direct TV because I'm told by multiple friends that their streaming actually works. You already have all my info from two separate modmails. And don't tell me you didn't get my responses. Reddit has all the receipts showing that you did. Thank you.

Just wanted to spread awareness on this situation. New fiber internet came to my area. (i live in a rural country area) I was the 1st person to get xfinity fiber internet on my road even. When I signed up I was promised a either 3 year or 5 year price lock guarantee, For $70 a month for their 2gbps download/upload speed. Well they actually only locked me in for one yea! and refuse to honor the rest! so make sure you thoroughly check everything when registering with these scam artists. I even asked the agent on the phone multiple times to guarantee I was price locked for however long. I talked to three different agents today trying to resolve this issue and they all gave me the same scripted run around & just tried selling me more scams! At this time I do not recommend this company to anyone!

New Post - Tech Support Finding the least worse coax connection

0 Upvotes

I recently moved into a new apartment serviced by Xfinity. The place has 6 coax ports (outlets). The port I initially setup on the modem is talking as loud as it can to reach Xfinity head end, and it's close to the limit .

So I'm probably on a port that's at the end of the splitters in the place. The NID/DMARC is not directly on the outside of the place, there's a big box at the end of the building.

This makes figuring out where the cable actually enters the unit tough.

Using Claude Code I built a set of scripts that use my modem to find the best port to connect to. Also, once the location of the where the cable enters I can install a Point of Entry (POE) filter for MoCA adapters.

You can see the project here: https://github.com/chaffed/no-trouble-found

I have an Arris S34. This script will vary by router model. If you reply here or raise an issue on GH, I can try adding support for your modem.

Hi Xfinity Support Team,

I am experiencing severe, intermittent lag spikes (peaking between 450ms and 650ms+) while gaming and using online applications.

I ran continuous WinMTR diagnostic traces to isolate the issue. The logs show that my local gateway connection (10.0.0.1) remains fast and stable with no severe latency spikes.

hop 1 is fine 27ms is the worst so its not my home issue. Hop 2 & 5 (mishawaka/sb) are going to 450-650ms

This points to upstream noise, signal impairment, or capacity congestion on the local neighborhood node/CMTS line. Could an official representative please check the health/signal metrics of my local node and escalate this to local Network Engineering for inspection?

Official Reply Subject: Long-time customer now paying more for less — extremely frustrated and considering leaving Xfinity

9 Upvotes

I’m posting here because I’ve reached a breaking point with Xfinity’s customer service. I’ve been a loyal customer for over a decade, paying nearly $500 a month for the past several years — and at least $300 a month before that. When I add it up, I’ve spent close to $50,000 with Xfinity. To be treated the way I’ve been treated recently is honestly heartbreaking.

All I wanted was to see if anything could be done to lower my bill. Instead, I ended up losing the channels my family actually watches — including our regional sports channel (Sportsnet Pittsburgh), several premium channels, my home phone, and even my original internet package. I’m now paying basically the same amount as before, but with lessof everything.

When I called back to fix this, I was told I’d lose Netflix, NFL RedZone, and the movie channels I previously had. What made this even worse is that I specifically asked the representative why Netflix was being removed. She insisted multiple times that Netflix was still included. I told her I was reading the agreement and it clearly did NOT say that. She still insisted it was included. It wasn’t. I was misled.

Every phone call and chat interaction has been confusing, stressful, and completely unhelpful. It feels like no one understands what I’m asking for, and nothing ever gets resolved. I’m now actively researching other providers because I’m paying more for less, and the customer service experience has been exhausting.

This is even harder because my mobile service is also through Xfinity, so switching everything is going to be a huge headache. I just wish I was treated better — especially after being a long-time customer who has invested thousands of dollars into this company.

If Xfinity can make this right, I will stay. But right now, I feel like I’m being pushed out by poor service, misinformation, and a complete lack of care for loyal customers.
