Worst Customer Service ever. The analyst could not provide me with any information or switch my service to what I wanted.  Can no one help resolve this issue? Are all chat representatives the same? I contacted support to resolve my issue not guide me to a number.

Admir > Hello KHADIJAH_, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Admir. Please give me one moment to review your information.

Admir > Hi! I appreciate you taking the time to chat with us. I hope you're doing well.

Admir > I understand you want to cut your bill. No worries I will check this one for you,Khadijah. You reached the correct department. Allow me a minute to pull up your account. Thank you.

Admir > Please be assured I will do my best to help resolve your issue today.

KHADIJAH_ > ok thank you

Admir > I see you have logged into your account so there is no need for us to verify security thank you for doing that.

Admir > May I ask a few questions that would help us better understand how to address your concern?

Admir > You are most welcome.

KHADIJAH_ > sure. My bill has increased significantly

KHADIJAH_ > I will not be able to afford such a hi bill

KHADIJAH_ > high

Admir > Oh I see. I noticed here that your bill high for this month because you are billed for Rectivation fee of $18.00.

KHADIJAH_ > Why would there be a reactivation fee?

Admir > This is a fee when your service was interrupted.

KHADIJAH_ > It was never interrupted

KHADIJAH_ > The current bill is around 170 and that is too much compared to Verizon Fios charging 79.

Admir > I checked here in order for us to lower the bill by removing HBO subscription and it lower the bill for $10.00.

Admir > No worries about the reactivation fee I will remove this one now for me to lower the bill, Khadujah.

Admir > Khadijah*

KHADIJAH_ > Is there anyway of lowering the over all bill more than that?

KHADIJAH_ > 170 dollars a month is high for a monthly bill

Admir > We can downgrade your service for us to lower the bill. may I know if you are open to lower the bill?

Admir > may I know if you are open to downgrade the service to lower the bill?

KHADIJAH_ > I can move to verizon fios with more channels

KHADIJAH_ > are you not competitive with the competition?

KHADIJAH_ > May I have your EIN?

Admir > I understand that but we have a restriction of the promotion that our Sales Department can discuss it further to you. Also I checked here on your account and it shows here that your service is still under promotion.

Admir > May I know why would you like to have my EIN?

KHADIJAH_ > What promotion and what is it supposed to be?

Admir > Our Sales Department will be the one to discuss the eligibility of the promotion.

KHADIJAH_ > Because I want to inform the Sales department of our discussion and further to the disconnect department if your unable to help me. So may I have your EIN?

Admir > My employee i.d is AdmirBCBL 34273. What I can do here to lower your bill is to downgrade your service.

KHADIJAH_ > That is not helping me. That is removing service. I can obtain a better deal without losing service with another company.

KHADIJAH_ > You have not been able to tell me what promotion I am on or lower my monthly bill at all without taking away services.

Admir > The promotion you have right now is Preferred Triple Play for $129.99 per month.

Admir > I offered you to remove HBO subscription to lower the bill. How can I lower your bill if we will not downgrade or cancel some of your service.

KHADIJAH_ > Ok what would it be if you cancel the phone service

Admir > You have the option to do that but you need to call our Customer Solution Team at 1-800-XFINITY(934-6489) because they are the one who can cancel your service.

Admir > No penalty in cancelling the phone service because your service is not under contract

KHADIJAH_ > how much would my bill be if I removed the phone service

Admir > Checking on the price now.

Admir > I suggest you may keep the price you have because your service is still under promotion. If you want to cancel your Phone service you will be billed for regular rate of the cable $87.90 and Internet for $53.95. Total of $141.85 excluding the equipment charges and taxes.

KHADIJAH_ > lol your increasing my bill if I disconnect my phone.

Admir > That is correct. I strongly suggest you may keep your current promotion for Triple Play.

KHADIJAH_ > My promotion was for 89.99. How did it jump to 129.99

KHADIJAH_ > and still be a promotion?

Admir > I will check this for you. Please bear with me because I experience latency with our tools. Please stay on line.

Admir > I noticed here that your promotion of your service is good for 24 months, the first 12 months of the promotion was for $89.99 for 13-24 months the promotion is for $129.99

KHADIJAH_ > Is there anyway of getting it back to $89.99?

Admir > I really love to apply it on your account for me to help you in lowering the bill but there is a restriction of the promotion. Also that promotion is no longer available on your account since your service is still under promotion.

KHADIJAH_ > Can you switch me to the Preferred Sure Price Double Play for 89.99?

Admir > My apology but I can't do that because the eligibility of the promotion will be check by the system and it can't be applied on your account. I suggest you may call first with our Customer Solution Team 1-800-XFINITY(934-6489) to cancel the phone service and check what available for Cable and Internet package, Khadijag.

Admir > Khadijah*

KHADIJAH_ > So you cant switch my service?

Admir > Sad to say yes but please do consider calling them to check what available for Internet and Cable package.

KHADIJAH_ > Are you not customer service?

KHADIJAH_ > I feel like you are shoveling me off to a 1800 number

Admir > Hope you understand as to why I can't apply the one you requested. You are routed in chat billing department we are trained to explain the bill only. Actually I can transfer you to our Sales Department but you need to pay the past due amount first before I can transfer you to them.
