Paul P. in the Thornton office was short and aggravated dealing with me in the office today at 11:45 am, Nov. 24th. Yes, I was angry and told him so, but Paul has no customer service skills other than being able to deal with happy customers. And how often is that with Comcast? Not often.
First, I had called Comcast before coming in to the office and was told that my second Xfinity cable box would work fine if I brought the main box back and started using my TiVo. Of course that was wrong. And to be clear, I asked Mark on the phone from Customer loyalty 4 times if this would work. Now I have the cable card, but also still have the main cable box. I have to go home for the 2nd cable box.
Then Comcast s website says that you get your first cable card free, that s not true. You are charged just like it was an X1 box. It would be free if you had no other cable equipment.
Then the website says you get a $2.50 a monthly credit for customer owned equipment, that s not true. You don t get a credit. Maybe if you had no Comcast equipment, but not likely.
And finally, I originally had gig internet, but it was no faster than the Blast package. And mind you, I just had this put in last month and only getting 20-30% of gig internet speed. Even when the technician installed it, it was only getting 40%. The only thing people will say is I can have a technician come out. You know they will charge for that, even though it wasn t working the day it was installed.
So I went back to the Blast package and will suffer with insufficient speed, like with the gig speed, but will save $50 a month.
In short, consider cutting the cord.
