Does Xfinity Deserve All the Hate?

[@heru-deshet359]

I was fed up with comcast continually raising prices, eliminating channels so I would have to buy an additional tier to get the old channels and other unnecessary fees and charges with slow internet.I was also tired of interrupted service and having to deal with a repetitive , barely English speaking agent in India that could only help me half the time. I went with Verizon after almost 30 years with comcast and glad I did.

Well, the machine will not send you to India directly, it will send you to a queue were you will be answered by the next available rep. So there is a chance to be answered by someone in USA, in Rumania, Central America, etc. The thing is that we are a lot more reps in other countries that the ones in USA, so that's why the chances of getting someone outside US is way bigger.

[@JeffLeasure]

I got my first High Speed internet connection in 1995 (PacBell DSL at 6mps). Blazing fast at the time, a snail by todays standards. The great thing about it was that it ALWAYS worked. I've had xfinity/comcast since I moved back to Colorado 9 years ago. I have spent literally HUNDREDS of hours in that time, rebooting my modem(s). My morning routine every day is to get up, brew some coffee, turn on the news and get on the PC to see what's new in the world and then get pissed off because the internet drops multiple multiple times between 6am and 9am EVERY SINGLE MORNING. I can't stand the thought of calling for service and going through the same routine I've done with the xfinity service rep dozens and dozens. There is more BS involved with service than actual service. Can't tell you how many times I've heard "Sir, we are going to take steps right now to insure this NEVER happens again. It's a lie! Then they try to convince you that the problem could quite likely be with the modem/router I use and the try to upgrade me to the xfinity gateway. I've had this problem with three different modems... The first was a comcast supplied(rented) modem, the second was an X-finity branded modem I purchased, and the third is another x-finity modem/router I bough several months back to upgrade to the 5g wifi. More BS in my opinion. Then I am told I have no choice but to wait for a technician to check my inside wiring. So I have disassembled a 300 pound corner desk three times in nine years so the tech tell me there is no problem and it's a tight connection. THANKS! I already knew that! Then the tech goes outside and works on the xfinity side of the problem, fixes it and it works fantastic for the next several months and then the ride starts all over again. This may in fact be the FASTEST connection I have ever had but that is negated by it being the MOST UNDEPENDABLE INTERNET I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I have literaly invested HUNDREDS OF HOURS of my own time over the years for the privilage of paying for the service that is causing all of this work. I know posting here will do me little good but at least I didn't have to listen to sales pitches and total BS to do it.

[@joemurdoch4138]

My issue with xfinity is that the price of my service went up 30% in a little over a year, and that is not even accounting for the bundle rate that dropped off. If I include that, then it went up 48%. Contracted customer service and all they could do was offer a plan that had fewer channels, a lot less storage space, for just slightly less than the increase that I am paying now.

[@CharlesFigueroaJr]

Xfinity is the biggest and baddest because they have a monopoly or a duopoly in the areas they service, not because of their speeds, pricing, customer service or reliability. In my area in Grand Rapids, MI, Comcast's reliability is abysmal. They regularly go completely down weekly. And that is only the reported outages that are officially displayed on their outage map. Local issues with old wiring and faulty equipment mean you are likely seeing more issues than is official.

[@Draanor]

The one thing Xfinity needs to do is bump up their data cap especially for gigabit customers. 1 TB simply isn't enough today when multiple people can be streaming HD content several hours per day. My family consistently hovers at 900 GB per month and busy months where there's a AAA game to download easily puts us in the danger zone and we've started having overages.

[@swishpronoob]

Agreed!

[@escott1981]

I have been a Comcast/Xfinity customer for decades here in northern VA. I have had some issues every now and again, but every time there was an issue, they fixed it right up. Their Customer Support has always been decent for me, but lately, it has become really great!!! I am not lying!!!! When I call, I am not on hold for a long time, I get an American who speaks clear English and is willing and able to help me. They were patient and answered all my questions even when I had to ask them the same question a few times to understand some of the complex answers, but they still cleared it up for me! Pricing does seem to be a little high. I was paying $216 a month for a triple play package (Tv/internet/phone), but just last week I went down to an internet only package for $108 to $136 per month (I need to clear up some fees it's saying on the website that I will be charged. I am not sure if its a mistake or what.). In both packages, I had and still have 250 Mbps (and in speed tests, I can get past 280 Mbps!). So I'd like to know just where I could get 1 Gbps for $70!! Another recent improvement is that they have done away with contracts! All of their deals are now month to month, cancel or change anytime with no penalties! So I am happy with Comcast/Xfinity overall.

As a former Xfinity customer, my chief complaints with them were less about their internet service and more about their television service/practices.

They are offering gigabit speed (upload and download) for the same price as Xfinity's Blast service (180 down and 10 up at the time). And no data caps.

What makes xfinity a horrible ISP its not necessarily the price or the speed yet the customer service and most importantly the feature you have completely missed and that is internet stability. It is pointless to have a 100mbps speed if internet disconnects due to signal instability and power fluctuations. Remember those downstream upstream dBmv power requirements by which modems function? If those signal levels are out of range internet disconnects. Xfinity does not know how to fix that since 2 techs came at my address and internet still disconnects sometimes a couple of times per day. Apparently Jason Montoya missed those facts!

My Mother-in-law has Comcast internet/tv/phone service. When it works, it's fast and great. The issue is when there is an outage. They refuse to send a tech to her house unless she agrees to pay for service up front and then they will decide to refund the charge if it is determined that the issue is in her rented router or farther out towards the pole. 99% of the time, it's in the edge networking equipment on the pole outside and could be solved if they had monitoring/notifications that could tell a phone tech that it needs reset/maintenance.

Their frequent errors aside, they make it so you have to contact them as soon as introductory rates expire and your bill nearly doubles. I’ve been a long-time customer and other than the ridiculous prices, it is 100% the lack of employee knowledge that makes the company and customers suffer. The quality of cable and internet is great, but because they have a stranglehold in many areas, they can skyrocket prices after introductory baiting because they’re quite often the only (or best) game in town. Combine that with run-ins with incompetent employees at every turn, and you have a continuously frustrating experience for customers. And it’s not always better when you go into a store. I recently waited in a store for 1.5 hours to have a store manager provide me with false information. They must have terrible employee turnover in the customer service positions. They need to better train their staff, and offer more simplified, reasonably priced packages so you’re not having to call every twelve months when you’re struck with an exorbitant bill.

I've noticed that when you get the service new it gives you close to the speeds you payed for but within a month you're already being throttled. I recently switched to a company that has been laying infrastructure for cellular service providers since the 90s and they just got into laying down fiber optic (which not everyone offers) and I now have the privilege of only paying 90 dollars a month for real consistent gigabit connection with 2gbs being the 150 dollar option and this will remain so since it's so cheap to run compared to copper.

Would love to switch. Service goes out all the time. Unfortunately there aren’t any other isps in our area. I do live pretty close to a T-Mobile tower, so I submitted an application for their internet. I wasn’t accepted right away, but they continue to accept people so we’ll see.

Yeah I have 300mbs and the WiFi is never even up... everytime I play Multiplayer in CoD I lag out and my WiFi just stops working

[@Krysdavar]

Yeah, those prices are only if you're a new customer. If you're an existing customer, they don't give 2 bits about you. 100mb internet only here is $90. Bundle with CABLE TV, however, and it's $70. Why can't I get 100MB internet only for $60? From time to time I do an independent speed test when something's not working right online. 100% of the time it's a little higher than what we're paying for, and it's the thing online that I'm accessing that is the problem.

[@koolaid9791]

Yes it deserves it

[@donsmith5479]

I had Adelphia/Comcast for 16 years. The best thing about them was when whatever plan I had ended, I could call and get the same or something similar again. So my prices never increased that much. The data cap was what made me jump to FIOS.

[@saint357]

Being a customer for more than 10 years doesn’t make them any better. Though my cable and internet is fine but their pricing structure doesn’t. If I need to save I can’t down downgrade I’m forced to pay more just to downgrade. So yea there’s part of your 2 cent why customer service sucks. My only option is to find a neighborhood that has fiber coverage. Comcast is a monopoly where I live in Colorado.

[@jtmagnar1468]

The problem is the market and the executive suite. I feel the industry could be so much better if it wasn't for that. T-Mobile in my opinion shows a glimpse. Hopefully 5G and the new companies that come from it changes the industry in the right direction.

Why should Xfinity care ? Depending on population density, they will have 1 or 2 competitors. Customers have little choice so 30-40 % market share is very profitable with no downside. They have no incentive to do better or improve services.

I have xfinity and pay for the 250 mbps and run an eero pro mesh system 3 pack and I get 300 mbps download and 25 mbps upload. This covers my half acre lot with a concrete home with storm windows seamlessly in South Florida. I find going to the Xfinity store better for customer service which is only a couple of miles away from me. If your interested in the eero system wait for the Prime day deals on Amazon or Best Buy as they usually cut the price by 200 bucks from the standard price of 499. Had AT&T U-verse previously and it’s honestly horrible and never delivers speeds I paid for in several different areas and homes.

[@lowkeyyluis]

Wow. I just signed up for Xfinity. 500 mbps + tv + phone for $100. Upgraded from Dish Network, where I was paying $135 for 20 mpbs + tv + phone....

Dominik Brame yes you can. Also update, for some reason I am paying $160/month I don’t remember why lol but also they charge you $10 extra if you go over 1TB of internet which our family has been going over for the past 4 months.

[@markhansen4258]

My reason: They made two attempts to make their system work at my home in Houston. Both times I went with internet, telephone and cable tv. The two attempts were separated by about five years. The problem was that in hot summer weather everything went out from about 3 PM to about 7 PM every day. Numerous attempts to figure out what was wrong failed. I went to AT&T each time after their attempt failed. They had better speeds, but nothing during peak hours.

[@markhansen4258]

@the piranha posse I doubt it was the box. We kept it really cool inside and had the box in several different places. I think it had to do with their infrastructure.

@@Justintimemetal I've had them for a couple weeks & no problems so far everything works perfect & the speed is fast knock on wood lol

Their real problem is all the fees they add on. for. everything. Our 'double play' package is 79.99, but after tv, sports, & franchise fees, taxes, 1 box rental (WHY?), it's about $115 all said and done. We own our own modem & stream the app on our other tvs on Roku too. That's BS.

[@busbystandup1337]

I've paid for Xfinity internet for the past five years, I pay for 100mbps and it's never above 30mbps unless I call and complain, then it's around 100mbps for a day or 2, and back to 30. I've called about this no less than a dozen times over the past 2 years... and the last two times they scheduled a technician to come out where I had to be home for a 2-3 hour window, and both times the technician didn't show up, didn't call, didn't care. Comcast is the most awful atrocity of customer service on the planet. Last time I spoke with them, their suggestion was that I pay more for faster speeds and lock into a 3 year contract with them. Why would I pay for faster speeds when you only give me 33% of the speed I'm currently paying for?

[@Rszshredsmtb79]

The worst wifi ever

[@matthewrobinson4323]

I recently switched to Xfinity, more than doubled my download speed and cut my monthly cost drastically. The speed has always been about 15-20% HIGHER than I pay for. I can't speak about their customer service, as I've never needed it. In contrast though, my daughter and son-in-law live in the next town (about 5 miles away), and she absolutely hates Xfinity. So???

[@zardon_zane1630]

It depends a lot of the area that you are and also your luck, i work for comcast and i have some clients that are so kind and patient but when the clients have issues like one client that had 1 outage a day for 2 weeks in houston Texas, so you are a lucky buddy :3

I have spectrum at my home and it’s awesome however I have Xfinity at my beach house and I’m paying $90 a month and we just got bumped up to 75 MB down and still five up I don’t know where she saw one gig for $70 and I have all new equipment and a new cable run to the house and still have to reset at least once a week including last night at 11:30 when I was laying in bed trying to watch something on Netflix

[@julio65873]

KEVIN TAYLOR I don’t work for xfinity/Comcast. The reasoning for your 75mbps vs 1gbps think of the “trunk line” as a highway if the highway is only “75 lanes” doesn’t matter how new the highway is it still only has “75 lanes” You have to wait or show support to have a better “trunk line” placed for your subdivision such as having them run fiber to the node you are currently attached too. Fiber to the node was recently ran to my subdivision and I now have 400mbps down but only 20mbps up. The slower upload is limited by the technology xfinity/Comcast use to send data back and forward on a coax cable.

[@ShadowDeus]

yeah i keep having issues just about every single sol up here at my moon house

[@AA-il9pc]

Xfinity customer service is awful. Almost impossible to speak to a real human being, and even when you do they won’t do anything about your issue.

[@one_hoop]

First off, the upload speed is one of the main reasons to switch to fiber optic, but that will only be useful to a small subset of internet users. Secondly, I would be glad to have the price that your reviewer mentioned. Comcast will offer a competitive price for a year and then jack it up and only offer discounts for bundles of things that you do not need. Third, you should have discussed how much bandwidth is needed for common internet usage and what that might look like in a hypothetical family of 4 or 6. I don't need as much as they'd like to sell me. I don't imagine that I'll be interested in streaming 4k, particularly considering... (Fourth) Comcast sneakily instituted data caps last year. You would not be charged for the first or second overage, but you would be surprised since the caps never existed before and there is not a convenient way to monitor it. All that being said, Comcast delivers speeds equal to or greater than promised in my neighborhood, but that's partly because my neighbors don't use a lot of bandwidth, as cable uses shared bandwidth on a neighborhood level. Comcast's outages are more common than I would like, but they are usually on top of it and it is easy to report (text 'Out' to #####).

[@pete49327]

For 90% of internet users anything over 15-25 mbps is absolute overkill imo. I know, I got the Lite plan at only 4 mbps from now defunct BrightHouse, now Spectrum. And I often stream HD content or 1080 on my TV and computer, whether Netflix or KZbin, etc. Drawback is that HD videos take on average 5 to 15 seconds to fully buffer to highest resolution, then smooth sailing til end of video or movie. But I'm so sick and tired of Spectrum's never ending price increases for all their crappy tv content that I'm gonna cut the tv cord end of this month's cycle and go internet only. Problem is that I'll lose my grandfathered 4 mbps bargain bundle plan and be forced to use their lowest current plan of 100 mbps with no bundle, so big price increase for internet only plan, but will still save at minimum couple or three hundred bucks a year. I'm going with a new ROKU tv, will continue to use Netflix off and on, and Sling from late August to late Jan, five months of ESPN football. I'm lucky to live 32 miles from a CBS transmitter tower and will pay no more than $50 max for a amplified indoor ota antenna to watch SEC football. My total monthly bill for internet and Netflix combined should be right at $78 for about 6 months out of year, no more than $103 for the couple months when I migh be subscribing to Netflix and Sling at same time, and a couple or three months with ROKU only at $65 for internet. Spectrum recently had substantial price increases for internet only.
