**** Comcast

So a week or two back I had to have a tech come out because my internet connection kept dropping. The tech found out that the signal strength needed to get out of the building was way too high, so he called a crew to go fix it at the pole (because that is where the issue was).

So I log in today to pay my bill for this month and I see a charge for next month for the service call.

They tried to bill me for their up. I then had this amazing conversation with someone who I really hope didn't speak English because they were incredibly ing inept if they did.

I only got the last 2/3rd screen shotted sadly, but it picks up at the good part where instead of clearing the fee the person totally has no idea what is going on (I never mentioned anything about my budget, and they confused it with an installation problem) they offer me a 20$ credit.

I don't think I chewed them out...

I've seen people far more rude.

Also one, sec let me paste the full log to give more context why I was somewhat short tempered with them.

chat id: --- Problem: On my recent activity it says there is a $50 charge for a service call. The service call ended up being a problem entirely on Comcast's end. I hope this does not appear on my next bill. Comcast > Hello Me, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Comcast. Please give me one moment to review your information. Me > My Issue: On my recent activity it says there is a $50 charge for a service call. The service call ended up being a problem entirely on Comcast's end. I hope this does not appear on my next bill. Comcast > You have reached Comcast Billing Department. You may call me Leigh. It is my pleasure to have you on chat. Me > Hello. Comcast > I'd be happy to get this resolved for you. Thank you for authenticating the account. Please give me 2-3 minutes to check the account. Will that be fine? Me > Yes. Comcast > Thank you! While we check your account, I would like to share you this wonderful feature that we have in Comcast on how you can protect your computer. Protect your computer, files and your identity without slowing down your PC (or Mac). Get Norton Security Suite, a $160 dollar value, at no additional cost with your Comcast High-Speed Internet subscription. Why not check out http://www.comcast.net/security for more information. Comcast > Thank you for patiently waiting. Me > Hello? Comcast > ----, I can see here that you have the service for a over a year already. We can waive the fee if the technician was not able to successfully install the service. For existing accounts like you this can be waived if the account is under the Service Protection Plan that has a monthly charge of $3.99. Me > ... It wasn't an installation call. The output signal was too high for my entire apartment building and they had to send a crew up the pole to fix it so that everyone in the apartment's internet would stop dropping randomly. Comcast > I perfectly understand that this would affect your budget, ----. We value your business and instead of $50 I will give you a discounted charge of $30 only. $20 credit will be applied. Will that be fine? Me > NO! What the hell? Comcast's lines to my apartment were broken. The only recourse was for them to come out and physically fix it. So are you suggesting to avoid a fee I should not have called and lived with internet that would continously disconnect? Comcast > I am sorry. May I know if the whole apartment is affected of the connection issues. Me > As far as I know yes, the building has a business account through the owner and provides wifi for the tenants, and it would drop. My personal account for my apartment would also drop. I made a service call, the technician came out and said the lines into the building from the street were bad and he'd send a crew out to have it fixed. None of this was my fault, or possibly my fault, it was solely Comcast's responsbility to have it fixed. Comcast > Thank you for the information. I will relay this to my supervisor and request for the full amount of credit. Comcast > Please stay connected. Me > This honestly feels really shady, I am entirely dissatisfied with how Comcast has handled this situation. I have been double billed by you, had missed automatic payments that resulted in late fees and the voiding of my deposit, poor connection performance, and other issues. This is just another notch in the "why comcast sucks". Comcast > Good news! $50 credit applied. Me > The fact that I even had to have this conversation is really sad, it has been a waste of my time for something that should have been handled on your end. Me > If I had automatic billing turned on I wouldn't have even noticed till it was too late. Comcast > I understand the inconvenience this has caused you and with that I am trying my best to resolve your concern, ----. Comcast > I hope I was able to help you today. Me > You did, but I shouldn't even had to have this conversation. Comcast is a shady, scamming company. Comcast > $50 credit is already showing on the account. This will reflect online withn 24-48 hours. Me > If I had a choice to switch to something else I would in a heartbeat. Comcast > I am sorry that you felt that way, ----. Me > I know it's not your problem, but pass that up the chain. I can't NOT recommend Comcast enough. Have a good day. Comcast > Noted, ----.
