I had a package deal with xfinity (phone, internet & tv), I called them 2 times to try and see how I could lower my monthly bill due to trying to manage finances, both times I called I was connected to people that I could barely understand, the 1st one said they would research my options then call me later that day=after 3 days I never received a call, I called again and asked if i could be connected to someone in America=they said no, they said if I want to cut cost then I should take my boxes back and use a app, also they said i could save money by buying my own modem/router and not leasing theirs. I have phone with them and the modem/router is less expensive if I don't order one with a phone jack so i figured I'd get a ***** **** for $40 a year, get my own modem, keep paying for the phone with xfinity to keep my package deal and save money with my own modem/router and no boxes=as soon as I transferred my original phone number to ***** **** and tried plugging in a new modem/router that i purchassed, xfinity immediately canceled by package deal and my very next bill went from $195 to $275 ($80.00 more just for moving my phone number, I was still going to pay the package price) it's like they were just waiting for a reason to remove my package price even after they are the ones that told me to shop for my own router/modem, not 1 person said "make sure your modem/router has a phone line or your plan is canceled". I tried calling for assistance and I got the most arrogant and rude person that just wanted to try and make me feel stupid because I didn't know all the fine print and I shouldn't listen to their call center and wouldn't let me talk to his supervisor. I feel I was misled and taken advantage of

Case Number: ********
Date of Notice: November 14, 2022

Dear Sir/Madam:

This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***************************** regarding Xfinity service.

On November 17, 2022, I spoke with ****************** regarding his concerns. Our records indicate on October 11, 2022, a request to port the telephone number to another provider was received. The port out request was completed on October 18, 2022, and the Xfinity Voice service was removed. The removal of the Xfinity Voice service caused the retail rates for the remaining service to apply. The change is reflected on the October 20, 2022, billing statement.

On October 22, 2022, ****************** removed the video service and repackaged the account. The account was enrolled in a 24-month promotion for Gigabit Internet. The package receives a monthly promotional discount effective until November 2, 2024. Once the discount expires the retail rate will apply. The package is eligible to receive a monthly self-service discount with enrollment in EcoBill and AutoPay. The package rate does not include equipment, additional services, or applicable taxes and fees which are subject to change. The prorated billing adjustment associated with the change of service is reflected on the November 20, 2022, billing statement.

As a courtesy, I applied a one-time credit to the account on November 17, 2022. The credit will also be reflected on the November 20, 2022, billing statement. I apologized for any inconvenience that may have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

I have Comcast Cable/Xfinity! I have been calling in for over a month. I my service goes off at midnight and stays off for hours. I have been trying to get through to this company. When I call, I get the automatic systems, which quickly detects an error on my modem and starts to reset it. I have to wait through the reset. So everything I call back it goes to reset my modem. It's hard getting through a live agent. This has been going on for some months. I finally reach a live agent and detected an issue and did a troubleshooting. He notice that it was an issue for over a month. Whatever the rep did, it stop! He did an order for a tech to still come out on Nov. 9, 2022. I canceled the order because I was not having the problem. I asked the rep was my service was compromised. He said mine was not in the ones that had been compromised. I started back having problems today, Nov. 10, 2022. I feel like my service is open to the public and has been compromised the whole time I have had service. I would see people that live on my street, walk in front of my house with their cell phones to pick up service. My account is password-protective by me. I feel that my privacy has been violated by Comcast/Xfinity in this manner. There is an Xfinity tech that stays around the corner from my house. Some neighbors are worried about his loyalty to the company. I feel that my account and service have been breached and compromised.

Have been having issues with service since August. Cable not working, internet going in and out. Asked for bill to be adjusted, since this has been going on intermittently since August- November. Spoke with a supervisor she would not listen when I advised her the box has been moved and the new box works and where the old box was moved to it is now not working. Which would have to be the box. She stated she would not issue a credit to the account. And she could send a tech out, makes no sense because its the box so I could of went to the store to swap equipment out and try to resolve my issues same day!

On Friday 11-4-2022 I went to the Xfinity Store located at ******************************************************************************** to provide new billing info for my auto-debit taken out monthly for $9.95 for internet access. I had just changed banks after approx 3 1/2 years of having an account with them. They could not do the change in the store and referred me to a phone # to call. I was not opening up a new account, but only providing either bank routing numbers or a new debit card # for auto-debit. I had provided this info to approx 10 other business accounts easily at no charge to me. The phone representative took my debit card info and proceeded to charge me $49.99 for a one-time charge. He also sent me 2 different verification codes, one after another, which stated that no Xfinity employee would ask for these codes....but he did for both codes and said it was ok. when he told me of the $49.99 charge I relied "that's outrageous" and he hung up. I was not rude or offensive, but only remarked. Not one of the other business's charged me for the change. I am on Social Security as my only income, live in HUD housing for 3 1/2 years, have had 3 heart attacks, am Type 1 Diabetic on an insulin pump, Stage 3 Kidney Disease, and several other conditions which produce relentless pain throughout my body. I pay extra for a supplemental insurance plan, for my Social Security is about $100 higher than the average, and do not receive any other discount assistance such as ********* ****** discounts, etc.. My income is depleted every month by inflation and other financial factors. Xfinity-Comcast has a reputation for very poor service and sudden exorbitant billing increases to others in my 62+ retirement community. This totally unexpected charge of $49.99 just to provide changed billing info on an existing account, when no other business required this to maintain uninterrupted billing, is outrageous, greedy and has depleted my account of money needed for prescriptions, food, phone bill, etc

Dear Sir or Madam:

This letter responds to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by **********************

Comcast investigated Mr. ****** concern about being charged a fee to update the automatic payment instrument he uses on his ********************** account. The investigation determined that the call interaction ************** described in his complaint was not with Comcast. Comcast does not charge a fee to enroll in AutoPay or to change the payment instrument used for AutoPay. In addition, Comcast has not received a $49.99 payment on Mr.****** ********************** account. It appears as though the interaction was part of a scam perpetrated by an unauthorized third party or parties. Customers can call 1-800-Comcast to verify the legitimacy of any callers claiming to be from Comcast. Customers can also visit Comcasts security alerts site for information about potential scams.[1]

Comcast *************************** (CSA) personnel made several attempts to contact ************** to address his concern and left messages with their contact information should ************** have any questions or concerns regarding his ********************** account.

Should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this matter, please contact CSA at the telephone number below.

2 years ago, I switched to Xfinity internet. To get me to switch my cell plan to Xfinity, they offered to throw in a free iphone SE. I didn't really need it because I had an older paid off Galaxy S8, but decided to go ahead and switch and my son could use the free phone. So I bought a new iphone 12, switched my old # into the new phone and got my free iphone with a new # for my son. Their app never worked right and any time I tried to call, it took forever to reach anyone, so I never looked at an itemized statement until last month, and saw a $16 monthly charge for the "free" phone. Call customer service and was told that promotion was only if you pulled a # into Xfinity, which I did. They said no, it has to go into that particular phone. Sales guy never said that and set me up with a new #. I've now found out I paid $400 for a phone I never wanted or needed, when it was promised to be free as an enticement to switch my entire phone service, which I did. I spent 1.5 hours at the Xfinity store Saturday with zero solution, and told a regional manager would call me, which they haven't.

Case Number:18369843
Date of Notice:November 8, 2022

Dear Sir/Madam:

This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***************************** regarding Xfinity Mobile service.

Comcasts records indicate that ******************** placed 2 Xfinity Mobile device orders on December 29, 2020, for an Apple iPhone 12 Pro *** and an iPhone SE. During this time, a On Us, promotion was being offered for an iPhone SE device which provides a monthly credit equal to the monthly installment of the Device Payment Plan for the device, over a ******** period if certain eligibility requirements are met. The requirements for the device credit in which are disclosed at the time of the sale and listed on the customer agreement requires a new line activation with a ported phone number from another provider within ********************************************************************** service during the 24-month period. Due to the device being activated with a native phone number, ******************** was not eligible for the promotion.

As a Xfinity Mobile subscriber, access to the mobile account to view a summary of the current and previous billing statements are accessible by logging in to the account online or through the mobile application. If a customer is unable to successfully log into their account using their Xfinity ID and password, they *** contact our care teams to diagnose the issue and or provide a thorough review of the account. On November 5, 2022, ******************** contacted our care teams to change her account password and inquiry about the device payment that had reflected on her billing statements. Although, our records do not confirm Ms. ********* account password was updated, she was advised correctly the charge was for a device payment. On November 10, 2022, a review of the account was performed, and no issues were noted regarding as to why ******************** *** have not had access to her account.

On November 10, 2022, I spoke with ******************** and confirmed the information above. ******************** had advised me that she had updated her password previously and was able to view her account. On the same day, I provided ******************** the promotion requirements that had not been met which included a monthly device payment charge as of her December 28, 2020, through her current October 28, 2022, billing statement. I then advised ******************** that our records did not confirm she had attempted to return the device within the time allowed and respectfully declined her request for a refund. I also informed ******************** that once the current October 28th statement payment has processed, the device will be paid in full. Although I had declined a refund for the device payments, on November 10, 2022, I applied a courtesy credit to Ms. ********* October 28, 2022, billing statement for the service charges that currently reflect.

On the same day, I apologized to ******************** regarding her recent visit at the local Xfinity retail store and that our records did not confirm she was promised a follow up call or that it was provided. On November 14th and 15th all 3 lines of service were cancelled and transferred to T-Mobile. I apologized for any inconvenience that *** have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

I trust that this ****** provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at ********************************.

Complaint: 18369843

I am rejecting this response because: 2 credits were promised to me.... 1 for $25 for customer service on the Saturday I went to the XFinity store that was never forthcoming. And then I spoke with ****** a couple days later after a regional XFinity manager failed to call on Monday as promised, and was again promised a credit that was never applied to my account. My account showed 2 paid off phones and I was told there would be no problems porting my numbers to **mobile, so I went to the **mobile store only to find out Xfinity, though their app showed the phones as paid off, claimed there was 1 payment left for each phone. To clear the phones so I could port the numbers out, I was told I had to pay the bill in full which I did on that day, totaling $226. No credits were ever applied as promised. I still show a bill owing in fact for $29.51. For what, I have no clue. I should be owed money on this account. ****** states that their customer service rep at the time of purchase of the phone stated I needed to port a number to get the promotion. I did this. I ported my primary number over to Xfinity. I was told if I ported this number over, they'd give me a free phone. So I did. They even convinced me to buy a really expensive IPhone 12. Their sales person is the one who ported the number over to the expensive phone and gave me a new number for the free phone. He never said the number had to be ported over to the promotional phone, not the other one. I never would have purchased that phone. Their cancelation window is 14 days.... who checks their account within 14 days to see if a company's sales rep just defrauded them on a promotion? No one. Altogether completely unhappy with Xfinity and their constant stream of lies and failure to follow through on promises or know their own products. There is something to be said for customer retention, not just new business, and Xfinity fails the test.

This letter responds to the above-referenced rebuttal submitted to your office by *************************************************

From October 16, 2020, to January 11, 2021, Xfinity Mobile customers could qualify for a discount off the price of a new iPhone added to a new line of service with a device payment plan and an intent to port an existing telephone number from another carrier. After porting, the promotion is delivered to the customer in the form of a monthly bill credit spread over 24 months. On December 29, 2020, ******************** purchased an Apple iPhone 12 *************** ******************** ported an existing telephone number for this device and received the promotional credit over a 24-month period.

From November 23, 2020, to January 11, 2020, Xfinity Mobile customers could qualify for an Apple iPhone SE (64GB) device On Us when adding it to a new line of service with a device payment plan and an intent to port an existing telephone number from another carrier. After porting, the promotion, equal to the devices full retail value, is delivered to the customer in the form of a monthly bill credit spread over 24 months. Unfortunately, ******************** was not eligible to receive the monthly credit offered under this promotion because she did not port a telephone number to the line of service for the iPhone SE device.

Regarding Ms. ********* account credit concerns, Xfinity Mobiles records show that courtesy credits were applied to her account on November 7, November 28, and December 2, 2022. No further credits are due to Ms. ********* account, which is now closed with a zero balance.

Additionally, payment is not required in order to port a telephone number to another carrier. On November 14 and 15, 2022, ******************** successfully ported her telephone numbers from Xfinity Mobile to another carrier.

We apologize for any misunderstanding or miscommunication that ******************** may have experienced while attempting to resolve her concerns. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or require additional information regarding this matter.

I'm a current xfinity comcast subscriber and have been since April 2022. I'm an active duty service member and renting a house on Indian Head ***** Base. On September 11, 2022, a branch fell and knocked down the internet wire thereby severing our internet connect. I called the service technician and within three days they were able to restore our internet by running a temporary wire along the ground. The permanent plan was to bury the line, however as this was not my house and I was living on base, I decided to make sure it was ok with base housing. After contacting base housing I was told that the wire could not be buried and that it would need to be re-hung. I immediately contatced the xfinity service tech and told him that base housing would not allow the line to be buried. He seemed perplexed and stated that his supervisor would contact me. It has been 49 days and my wire is still on the ground. I have contacted xfinity a handful of times and they always tell me a serice tech will show up, but they never do. My internet works, so I don't ever think about it, until I get home and drive over my internet wire which runs accross the street. I'm concered that if this is not resolved soon, and we get a heavy snowfall early, a snow plow will rip it out and do even more damage.

Indian Head, MD *****

Case Number:********
Date of Notice: November 4, 2022

Dear Sir/Madam:

This letter is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by *********************************** regarding Xfinity service.

On September 13, 2022, a service visit was scheduled and completed, during which time the technician diagnosed and corrected the service issue by replacing the defective aerial drop line with a temporary line and referred to underground team. At the time, the technician was unaware of the restrictions of buried lines on Indian Head ***** Base.

On September 28, 2022, the service order for underground cable line install was cancelled due to Indian Head ***** Base restrictions on buried lines. On September 29, 2022, a service order for aerial drop replacement was scheduled; however, it was cancelled that same day.

On November 2, 2022, a service order to address the aerial drop issue was scheduled, during which time the technician completed the visit by placing a door tag as ********************** was not home at that time.

On November 5, 2022, a service order to address the aerial drop was scheduled; however, it was cancelled that same day because ********************** was not aware of the appointment and technician would need to be escorted onto base being the office is closed on the weekends.

On November 7, 2022, a service visit was scheduled during which time the fulfillment technician completed the aerial cable line install from pole to *********************’s home and the temporary line was removed. On November 9, 2022, I spoke with ********************** and confirmed that concern with the temporary line at his property have been removed and his service is working properly. I apologized for any inconvenience that may have caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

I trust that this letter provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at **************.

Case Number: 18337000
            Date of Notice:             October 31, 2022

Dear Sir/Madam:

This ****** is in response to the above-referenced complaint submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ************************* regarding his Xfinity billing concern.

On November 1, 2022, I contacted **************** to discuss his billing concern. Our records indicate that Mr. ******* account was activated with Comcast on December 2, 2021. **************** consented to Internet Essentials service. The Internet Essentials program offered by Comcast is a program designed to extend broadband access to eligible individuals who currently do not have such access at home by offering them Xfinity Internet service at a low cost. We first show internet usage beginning in January 2021. No payments for services were ever received from ****************.

On July 31, 2022, **************** received almost six months of credit for Internet Essentials service. This credit was reflected on the August 27, 2022, billing statement.

On August 3, 2022, **************** requested to upgrade to his services. He consented to the Standard + package,and the low-cost Internet Essentials package was removed. This was reflected on the August 27, 2022, billing statement.

On September 20, 2022, *************** consented to the Xfinity Home Self-protection. This included 24/7 video recording with up to six cameras. **************** will be billed for the cameras in installments for the next 24 months. His first installment payment was on September 20, 2022. Additionally, **************** received a courtesy credit towards the cost of the Standard + package on September 18, 2022. The credits appear on the September 27, 2022 billing statement.

In addition, the September 27, 2022, billing statement shows that **************** s package was changed several times from the Standard + to the Super + More package, before changing back to the Standard + package again. He was billed for service for the Standard + package between October 2, 2022, and November 1, 2022. Additionally,on September 27, 2022, **************** enrolled in autopay for his monthly payments.

On October 8, 2022, *************** requested a billing cycle change from the twenty-seventh of the month to the fourth of the month.

On October 16, 2022, *************** consented to a 24-month agreement which includes tiered pricing for the Super + More package. The pricing for the first two years is at a lower rate than the third year beginning October 18, 2022, through November 8, ****. The price will increase in the third year beginning November 9, ****, through November 8, ****. Effective November 9, ****, the promotion will end, at which time, retail rates will apply. Equipment charges, taxes, and fees are not included in the promotional rate and are subject to change. The term agreement is effective October 18, 2022 and expires on October 18, ****.

On October 21, 2022, *************** was removed from autopay because of failed attempts for the payment to process. On October 22, 2022, **************** re-enrolled in autopay using a new card. The autopay payment is expected to withdraw on November 20, 2022.

On October 27, 2022, *************** s new statement was printed. He received partial charges because of the package changes. He was billed for services between October 5, 2022, and November 1, 2022. Additionally, because of the billing cycle change, he was billed for services between November 2, 2022, and December 8, 2022.On October 31, 2022, **************** scheduled a partial payment to process on November 30,2022.

As a result of multiple package changes as well as the change to **************** s billing cycle, his billing was higher than normal. **************** was enrolled and de-enrolled in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) multiple times between August 2, 2022, when he was first enrolled and October 10, 2022, when he was de-enrolled. **************** is not currently enrolled in ACP.

A review of the account shows that the billing is accurate. I explained to **************** that he is still enrolled in autopay and that a payment is expected to withdraw on November 20,2022, in addition to the scheduled payment on November 30, 2022. I offered to assist with removing him from autopay and assist with payment arrangements to pay off the balance owed. **************** declined my assistance and ended the call.

As a courtesy, credits for multiple shipping and handling charges **************** received between August 13, 2022, and October 19, 2022, were applied to the account on November 1, 2022, and November 2, 2022. These credits will be reflected in the billing statement dated December 4, 2022. Please be advised the billing on this account is accurate. I apologized for any inconvenience that *** have been caused while attempting to resolve this matter.

I trust that this ****** provides your office with the information required for resolution in this matter. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at **************.

Cancelled Comcast TV, Internet, and home phone service on September 9, 2022 due to incorrect billing for 7 months and total lack of customer service. Cancellation bill had illegitimate charges of: $29.98 for "services added Sept 9 - 28" (cancelled everything Sept 9); also has $60 termination of contract fee ($10/ month for 6 months, actually only 5 months!) which contract never went into force because it was predicated on Comcast reducing my bill $30 per months (***** call on 2/7/22) and have this in 2/7/22 email from Comcast., which never happened and multiple calls to Comcast **************** never got any resolution, so cancelled service. Comcast is know for a total lack of ****************, could site other examples. Will pay legitimate bill, but not these illegitimate charges.

More details about *** with Xfinity are available at Xfinity.com/acp.
On November 3, 2022, I spoke with ************************ and confirmed there is no record of ************************ applying through the National Verifier or through Xfinity for the *** prior to him requesting to disconnect his services on September 9, 2022. In order to receive the ***, ************************ would have had to apply through the National Verifier, confirm his qualification, and receive an application *** Then, using the application ID, he could apply for the *** through Xfinity using the *** Once the applications are submitted, it can take up to 1 to 2 billing cycles for the approved *** credit to be received. On October 21, 2022, I emailed instructions to ************************ on how to apply and enroll into the *** if he restarts his Xfinity service in the future.

With respect to his service disconnection, on September 7, 2022, a disconnection work order was received and entered on the account to terminate services effective September 9, 2022. This disconnection was placed at Mr. *********** request. On September 19, 2022, the disconnection order completed at which time the account was disconnected reflecting a disconnection billing stop date of September 9, 2022. On September 19, 2022, the account generated a final balance owed which consisted of an early termination fee and charges for services billed from August 29, 2022 through September 8, 2022. ************************ was not billed for services past his requested disconnection date.

With respect to the early termination fee, on February 7, 2022, ************************ accepted a 12-month promotion with term contract for a package that includes *********** Superfast Internet, and Xfinity ************** effective February 17, 2022 through February 17, 2023. An early termination fee was applicable if the services were fully disconnected prior to the completion of the term agreement. There is no exception to the early termination fee other than a disconnection of services within thirty days of acceptance. ************************ reviewed the terms of the pending order and approved the change verbally via the Interactive Voice Response system. After acceptance, he received an order confirmation email. I apologize for any inconvenience that ******************** may have experienced while attempting to resolve this matter.

Complaint: 18325065

I am rejecting this response because:

The response is mostly offuscation because I am not eligible nor have I ever applied for the Affordabel Connectivity Program (ACP). Seems like a standard letter insert?
The bill did contain "Services Added September ****" of $29.98 which I disputed. ********** (the guilty never seem to use last names!) convinced me this was mis-worded and it was for "discounts added back to the bill."
The contract was null and void as Comcast did not satisfy the terms of the contract of which I have a copy and which included a reduced bill (any lawyer knows terms have to been satisfied by both parties to an agreement). Therefore, the "Termination Fee" of $60 was not valid. After months of trying to get someone in Comcast to recognize their not reducing the bill, which cost me $120 out of pocket, I gave up and cancelled. Comcast keeps raising rates, thinking the customer will not leave, regardless of how poor their customer service. You cannot reach anyone in management, they do not even publish a phone number or management personnel for their Regional Office! Comcast has a total lack of **************** in billing and for services provided. ************ did take the $60 off the bill and I paid the remaining balance -- to keep from having to deal with incompetence. Went to AT&T for $60 less per month.

I'm trying to access information about my Comcast account for internet service. When I look to see information on the desktop application about my data usage, devices, equipment, etc. I see none. This was available before, but now it is just promotional information about purchasing said services which I already have. I called customer support, they did not know how to direct me to that information and told me it must be a bug. When I asked if this bug had been reported to their IT team, or if I could speak to their IT team they informed me it was not possible, they have no recourse to report the bug, and may not be aware of the bug either. They told me I can download an application on my phone that may show me that information but I did not want to download that to my phone and found that to be an obtrusive option. I currently have no way of viewing essential information regarding my service in my account, and they gave me no indication when or if it will ever be fixed.

BBB Case: ********
Date of Notice: October 28, 2022

Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter responds to the above-referenced complaint submitted to your office by ******************************
In 2016, Comcast implemented an Internet data usage plan that established a usage threshold of 1 TB per month for all of its residential Xfinity Internet customers in *******************’s area. Effective July 1, 2020, Comcast increased the usage threshold to 1.2 TB per month. Our typical Xfinity Internet customer uses only 368 GB per month. Those very few customers who wish to use more than 1.2 TB per month are provided additional buckets of 50 GB for $10 each, with total overage charges capped at $100 per month. Alternatively, customers can add an unlimited data plan for an additional $30 per month, or sign up for xFi Complete for $25 per month (which currently includes unlimited data, advanced security, and the monthly cost of an xFi Gateway). Under this policy, customers are given one courtesy month per 12-month period during which they will not be charged for exceeding the 1.2 TB data usage threshold. If the threshold is exceeded a second time within a 12-month period, no further courtesy months will be provided.

Affected customers were notified of the data usage plan policy via U.S.P.S mail and/or email approximately one month prior to its implementation. New customers are informed whether a data usage plan applies to their area during the purchase process, and the policy also is clearly disclosed in Comcasts Xfinity Residential Services Agreement, Xfinity Internet Broadband Disclosures, as well as its Xfinity Internet Additional Terms and Xfinity Internet Acceptable Use Policy, which all Xfinity Internet customers agree to abide by as part of the Xfinity Residential Services Agreement. In addition, details of the policy and frequently asked questions are available for review online, and all new customers and customers who accept a new service contract receive a confirmation email that includes a link to the data usage policy during the first week of their contract.
Comcast provides customers with the following methods of tracking and receiving notifications about their data usage:
•An individualized data usage meter for every Xfinity Internet account is available through the MyAccount and Xfinity app, MyAccount online, and the X1 platform.
•Automatic notification will be sent to customers when they approach, reach, and exceed their data usage allotment.

As of Aug. 4, 2022, the Xfinity xFi website, found at internet.xfinity.com, is longer be available for customers to manage their home WiFi network. All the features of Xfinity xFi, including assigning user profiles, controlling connected devices and setting family-safe browsing, are available in the Xfinity app.
Customers can download and use the free Xfinity app to adjust any of their WiFi settings, pause WiFi or use other existing parental control settings.
A Comcast Customer Security Assurance (CSA) technician made several attempts to contact *** ******** to advise him of the above information. Unfortunately, all attempts were unsuccessful. The technician verified that *** ********’s modem is properly assigned and provisioned for his account and that the data usage recorded for the *** address associated with *** ********’s modem is correct. The technician left a message with his direct contact information should *** ******** have further concerns or questions regarding this matter.
We apologize for any inconvenience or frustration *** ******** may have experienced with regard to this change. Should you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact CSA.
Sincerely,
Comcast Customer Security Assurance
