    Comcast Xfinity - Entrance

    Comcast Xfinity

    (57 reviews)

    Comcast/Xfinity is the best internet provider that I have found as far as the speed & reliability…read moreof their coverage & internet access. As far as contacting a person when service is needed they are pathetic & severely lacking. Zero Stars Everything is automated. The recorded responses don't give you the option you need to talk to a person for technical support. I recently bought a new modem & router. Whenever you change the modem you need to contact Comcast to send a signal to the new modem. This can prove to be a lesson in futility. I called repeatedly to an endless loop that didn't provide the options I needed. If your already an existing customer FUGET ABOUT IT. Your kind of F-ucked if you need help. I even tried to call as a new customer to get a person hoping I could get transferred through the correct channels. As a potential new customer I went 2 for 2 w/an instant connection to a person. As soon as they knew I didn't need new service they hung up. WTF?

    I gave this review on google, but xfinity as a whole is just terrible I'll post here too…read more Repeated Miscommunication, Poor Service, and Zero Accountability My experience with Xfinity Mobile has been, without exaggeration, one of the most frustrating and disappointing customer-service experiences I've ever had. The issues stem from three areas: the in-store experience, the phone/virtual support team, and the opaque "third-party" partners Xfinity relies on. The lack of communication between these groups creates a cycle where customers suffer for mistakes Xfinity refuses to take responsibility for. 1. In-Store Experience (This Location in Particular) The staffing and overall service at this location have been consistently disorganized during multiple visits. It routinely requires several employees to assist one customer, yet no one seems fully informed about the process they are handling. A. Phone Trade-In Experience: When my elderly father and I traded in our previous devices--both in perfect working condition--the store transferred his data and told him he was "good to go." They failed to inform him that the phone needed to be reset and have the passcode removed before sending it to their third-party evaluator. As a result, the device was rejected and returned for being "locked," despite not being damaged in any way. We then spent over three months going back and forth between the store, Xfinity support, and their unnamed third-party vendor, only to be told there was nothing they could do. My father, a senior citizen, was ultimately stuck paying for the phone entirely due to incomplete instructions and misinformation provided by Xfinity staff. B. Apple Watch Service Issue: During a recent visit for an Apple Watch issue, once again multiple employees were assisting one customer, and the associate helping me was multitasking despite my request that he complete one task at a time due to previous errors. Unfortunately, the transaction was still processed incorrectly and assigned to the wrong account--creating yet another layer of complications. 2. Phone & Virtual Support The phone support team appears to be completely disconnected from the in-store system. They cannot look up claims, cannot see store-related transactions, and cannot contact the store directly--because the physical store, unbelievably, has no phone line. Calling for help does not save time; it adds more confusion. Each department has visibility into only a small part of the account, and no one has full access to resolve issues created by the store. 3. The Mysterious "Third-Party" Xfinity's reliance on unnamed third-party partners creates even more problems. Representatives avoid clarifying who they actually work for, whether they are part of Xfinity, insurance, or an external evaluator. This lack of transparency makes it nearly impossible to track down responsibility when errors arise. In my most recent call, I provided every piece of documentation--including receipts, dates, and claim details--only to be told that my claim number was not associated with my account. This was due to incorrect information entered by the store. And once again, the burden was placed entirely on me to resolve an error I did not make. Overall I rarely write reviews, but the level of disorganization, miscommunication, and lack of accountability across every part of Xfinity Mobile has been unacceptable. Customers should not have to spend months correcting the company's mistakes, nor should elderly customers be misled through incomplete instructions that cost them money. The store blames the phone support team. The phone support team blames the store. Both blame a vague "third party." And ultimately, the customer pays the price...financially, timely and emotionally. I strongly caution anyone considering Xfinity Mobile to be prepared for fragmented support, inconsistent information, and very limited accountability.

    The service was actually pretty good, but the price kept going up and when I called to try to get a…read morereduction, they said no way. Even though I pointed out that my neighbor was paying half what they were charging me (also Astound, same speed) and xfinity would charge me 1/3. "We may charge different customers different amounts." "We don't price match." I didn't want to switch, and it was utterly frustrating that they would do this to a long term customer. It was like I had a note in my file, 'stick it to this guy.' Or maybe they just stick it to everyone dumb enough to stay with them. Of course when I called to cancel they said, "Can we offer you a better price?" Makes my blood boil.

    Our WIFI went down during a storm. We had no WIFI for three days until they could come out here…read morewith a tech guy. The guy came and claimed he fixed it. It works, with a catch. It is now slower than it ever has been, freezes up all the time. Can't even sit through a 22 minute TV show without lagging or stopping. This is pathetic and unacceptable in the year 2026. If you can, look elsewhere and use anyone else but Astound! We sent them another email and phone call to get ahold of someone to come back to our house to fix yet another problem they made happen. So far, no such luck. They're value is nothing and they are most incompetent. So again they may seem good, but they're awful. They don't have any places located near us and have to come from far away, so I imagine their tech guys are very limited to when they can come. Another example of why big companies shouldn't be able to buy up the little ones like WOW, which was actually a good cable company that we had no problems at all with. Like every other company, there customer service seems to be a thing of the past. We will be switching to a different company as soon as possible and never looking back. Fuck Astound.

    The Quick: Out with the old, in with the New Cable! Easy, quick, affordable, and even better…read morepicture quality. Great customer service that does everything for you. Sign me up for life! *** I don't know which is there main Yelp! Page so posting the same review here just in case*** The Details: Just another reason why I need to leave Manhattan... I hate my current internet and cable company-- Layer3 come to NYC please!! My brother had Layer3 installed one morning while I was visiting. I complained and expected the worst, but it was literally the easiest experience ever. This nice install rep (hi Chris!) came perfectly on time and did the entire setup for us in a few minutes - he was very pleasant and funny. I had no idea what this new cable was, so he spent time explaining and showing us a few pointers to make sure we understood the software. It's like a no contract, no fee, amazing cable company that has even higher quality imaging. Plus virtually unlimited DVR space (Hello binge watching!) Oh and it's less expensive than what I'm paying for UGHHHHH. The Damage: I believe the price is different depending where you are, so worth calling to see. I'll be signing up a soon as they come to Manhattan

    Let me provide a little background. I was a Directv subscriber for a decade and a half. I used to…read morelove their customer service, America based, and their picture quality, content and NFL package were outstanding. Then AT&T purchased Directv. I stuck with them a little longer but the quality of their services quickly deteriorated. I used to consider them the gold standard but i had to switch after a mystery charge appeared on my bill that they couldn't explain to me. I told them i was leaving and they didn't even care. I also refuse to go to Comcast. I noticed an ad for Layer 3 tv online and decided to try it out. Let me preface by stating i have a 1gigabit internet thru the fine folks from RCN who also have excellent customer service. Layer3 TV is an internet based cable solution. Their feed runs thru your internet. and they have 4K. I admit i was skeptical at first but once i switched i have not looked back. The picture quality is amazing and the customer service is outstanding. They are new to the Chicago area so there are a few kinks but you can tell with the technology they use they will become a force. Please keep doing what you are doing I enjoy your services immensely.

    To whom it may concern...... Account No. 266865407…read moreI have had Direct TV since approximately 2005 at 1308 West Rosedale Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60660. There have been some ups and downs over the years but I always stayed with you because your customer service eventually solved the problems...apart from the time that you had to relocate the dish and damaged the roof in the process.....I did not file a complaint at the time. Well, times have changed.....I was on the phone for 5 hours tonight with no resolution....I am not able to access my account, I have no idea what my passwords/codes are now with direct tv as they kept giving me new ones/or temporary ones, and I had to create a new email account which was ridiculous! I have been overpaying for years as I have been billed for having a dish and box which were removed about 5 years ago, and somehow I have been still able to get your service on my computer and cell. Your customer service people kept insisting that I had a dish and a box. When I told them I did not, they implied that I did not know what I was talking about. So.....the fact that I never changed my billing/charges is on me. But, after 5 hours on the phone tonight with no resolution, and the changes to passwords, emails, etc. and still cannot access Directv is beyond my limits. My patience has worn thin. I have had it! I can assure you that tomorrow I will be starting a new service with one of your competitors! Very sincerely, Dana Bates

    BEWARE of this verizon store! All rude scammer employees. There are many other similar reviews…read moreaffirming my experience. i would not recommend anyone go here unless you want to be scammed! Employees will not even acknowledge you unless you are looking to buy a new phone so they can make commission. My experience: I came to this store with my mom because my phone was experiencing a glitch, after it died, it began to only charge to 1% and nothing further. After taking it to Best Buy who ran diagnostics, they informed me there was no damage to the phone and it was not my fault, but something in the internal system had just failed (basically a glitch) and it most likely wasn't recognizing the battery. My phone is barely 1 year old and has never had damage to it. So, my mom called verizon corporate and they said we could trade in this broken phone and they will provide a new one for free, all we had to do was bring my broken phone to a verizon store so they could call tech support and confirm the diagnosis themselves. This was all notated in our account. When we came into the store, the employee Ivan came up to help us. My mom explained the situation and all he asked was if we had a protection plan. We said no, and he said there was nothing he could do to help us. We were very confused and explained again how the agent we called at verizon corperate knew we did not have a protection plan either but insisted we could get a new phone. Ivan said he doesn't know why the agent would say that because if we didn't have protection there's nothing he could do. We asked him if he could just call tech support like the verizon corporate agent said they should do and he told us with an attitude there's no point in even calling tech support because i'm 100% not getting a new phone unless i buy a new one. he then refused to help us. My mom decided to call verizon corporate right there in the store and they let us use their telephone. of course, verizon corporate confirmed we could get a new phone, and since the store we were in was unhelpful, they would just ship the phone directly to our house in 2 days and we will ship the other one back. we were on the store's telephone for a good hour and a half and not once did a single employee check on us, come over to ask anything, or even offer us a chair. at one point while i was on the phone my mom went over to the manager to complain about the employee ivan, the manager didn't say much and afterwards, there was no other customers in the store, and all the employees, including the manager and ivan, were sitting down chilling, hanging out and laughing. again, not once did anybody ask if we needed help and the manager did not send ivan over to apologize for lying to us. Had we listened to him and not called corporate again, we would be stuck paying $1,000 for a new phone. He lied and said there was no way we could get a new phone and refused to help us, while verizon corporate sent us a new phone with express shipping for free because they actually care about the costumer. When we complained about the store to the agent on the phone from corperate, she confirmed that they were probably being unprofessional and unhelpful because we weren't looking to spend money and therefore they couldn't make commission off of us. we filed an official complaint with verizon corporate and i hope any higher up manager of the store would get in contact with me about this horrible rude experience.

    The employees of this store are definitely not properly trained to deal with the hearing-impaired…read more The sign on the window states that they speak bi-lingual but obviously they are not helpful to customers with a hearing loss. Hearing Impairment is part of the Americans With Disabilities Act. So businesses, like this Verizon store, should be complying with ADA standards. Teach employees to write down questions and answers for the hearing-impaired customer, not get flustered nor start talking louder.
