Comcast Reviews and Complaints

A few months ago I spoke with a representative who offered me the triple play package for $134. However, when I received the following months bill, my bill was between $145-$160. I called Comcast immediately, and was told by another representative that Comcast did not have a package with the price of $134. I requested that a manager contact me and listen to the tape if the conversation was recorded. I never received a call, even after I called twice regarding the situation. Moving forward, I requested the removal of my DVR service due to other options available. The first time I contacted someone because I never received the new cable box, the representative told me it was here in MD; but I never received it. A week or two later I called Comcast back to explain that I never received my new cable box, and the representative I spoke with was extremely rude. Of course it is no surprise that I never received the box. However, I was charged an installation fee for something I never received. I had been a loyal customer with Comcast since 2007/2008, and I never had an issue with them until I moved to Maryland. I've been in PG County for slightly over a year, and unfortunately poor customer service seems to be the norm; which could explain the poor customer service rendered by Comcast in PG County. I am so happy I was able to get rid of Comcast, and their $165 bills...Yeeeesss!

we had appointment for installation, never showed. Finally got installed a week later after calling every day. However got billing a week before installation including a weeks charges before any equipment. Customer service knocked off $22, but when I got first bill after only TWO weeks of service I got a bill for the crazy amount of FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY TWO dollars!!!!. Their internet speed is fast- their billing speed is much faster and their creative accounting is enough to get senior citizen (me) a heart attack. $422 after 2 weeks of service. Rip that *** right out. Even changing the packages to add on services still most channels wanted were additional and not present

I have been a Comcast customer since mid 1996 and predate a lot of their current services (luckily). I received a voicemail that I had infringed the copyrighted work of someone, so I called them back to figure out what was going on. The first two representatives hung up on me when I wasn't even being rude (hadn't gotten a chance to even, literally in the middle of the call they were just not there anymore). By the 5th call I finally reached someone who told me to check my Comcast email for details on the issue. I have never at any point set up a Comcast email, as that's something usually done at the creation of a new account, and like I said, I started my service prior to a lot of their additional services (email, digital cable, cable internet, etc etc). I told them this and they insisted I did have an email account with them. They refused to tell me the content of the email or the copyright violation as that's *personal information*, and kept directing me to check my Comcast email myself. Despite numerous attempts to explain I've never once had a Comcast email, they would not explain the copyright issue, so I asked them about the email account itself. Apparently without my permission or knowledge, they had opened an email address in my first and last name, as in firstlast@comcast.net (something I'd never do for privacy's sake). After some cajoling, they provided me with "my" password (the password THEY made up and being something so simple that I'd NEVER select as my password). Finally I logged into my comcast account and had to set up a security question for my 'new account' (at the risk of repeating myself, I NEVER had a comcast email account). I looked at my ONE email that arrived 3 hours prior, informing me that someone had downloaded 384kb of a 14 year old song from me and they demand that I delete the file. They had the song title, how it was downloaded, everything. I had downloaded an album I already own on vinyl via bittorrent (to have a digital copy for CDs/my phone/my own *** business) and it seeded (was available to other bittorrent users) for approximately 40 seconds after completion before I removed it from bittorrent, as I have no intention to share files, merely reproducing something I already own for my own use. Mind you, this violation wasn't for me downloading the album itself, this was for someone downloading mere kilobytes of a song off of me in the time it took me to go "Oh good, that album's done. Let me close bittorrent." tl;dr Comcast will invade your privacy down to the minute detail, but they wouldn't want you to "social engineer" your way into your own email account that they created for you without your permission. I hope no one was negatively affected monetarily by the 384kb of unlistenable raw data that was "pirated" off me. Imagine how much you do on the internet that Comcast is keeping tabs on. Think about that when you email your boyfriend a hot picture, or when you send your girlfriend a song you wrote, or when you send your doctor a picture of what that rash looks like today.

This is the second time we've had problems cancelling Comcast in the last 5 years. We cancelled our account 2 months ago and are still getting charged. The girl on the phone verified our account was cancelled, after we told her about the problem we had last time we cancelled it. She verified that the account was cancelled so we had no reason to doubt it until today when I received an email stating we had a notice about our account. It said owed 2 months and are still getting billed! This is so incredibly frustrating! Highly doubt I will ever use Comcast again or recommend them. I've heard this from so many others as well!

We rented the Comcast modem about 3 years ago for a couple of weeks. it did not work for us, we returned it. Comcast stopped charging us the rent. A few weeks ago we moved out and closed the account, we discovered on the bill, it charged us the modem cost. We called Comcast customer service a few times since no progress was made on this issue, today, the agent, named Shawn, with ID YP2 answered our call, he was such an unprofessional ***, claiming that Comcast never made the system mistake and refused the request for us to talk to his supervisor. it is shocking that Comcast had this type of untrained customer service employee.

I am in my first 30 days and will be stopping service. I kept asking what would be the charges in the 2nd year of the two yr agreement. The CSR said an additional $10, the chat rep said $20, I finally a week later received the agreement and it was $30. I was told I could change the plan within the first 30 days and still after several calls to the "loyalty" dept, I am still not changed to Blast Plus. Consumerist.com has a funny video about the Comcast reps. It is too bad you cannot trust anything their reps tell you. I have been writing the FCC about my experience. It will be a shame if the FCC allows the Time Warner merger which will benefit only the stockholders and NOT the consumers. From the postings I am to understand it will take several calls and about 8 weeks to get my "30day satisfaction" refund.

I'm a 63 year old business owner, and have delt with many vendors over the years, but I have never been subjected to such horrific customer service as Comcast. I have a lot of patience, but I felt compelled to vent somewhere. Number one rule in business: "Do what you say you are going to do, when you say you are going do it." We customers keep you in business, but I guess when you have a monopoly you just don't care. Comcast is one of those companies so focused on profit, you need to call a "call center" in another country. We could use jobs here in America.
