False promises by xfinity scam

I contacted Xfinity to lower my internet bill and found the process very frustrating, as I had to speak with an agent via SMS chat. Despite the initial difficulties, the agent offered me a promising deal: $55 for 500Mbps internet plus an iPad via Xfinity Mobile. I was assured that I would receive a $40 discount on my internet service, reducing my monthly bill to $15, and would pay $40 for the iPad with mobile service.

However, upon receiving my bill, I noticed a significant discrepancy. The total amount billed was $127, which is far from the agreed-upon amount.  Well after 7 hours and 2 trips to the xfinity store, I finally got to return the iPad and remove the mobile bill.  Can't trust them. 10 years and nothing but headache.  After the holidays I will switch providers to century link. 

"

Okay I have found a amazing deals for you in your account where you will receive the 500Mbps Fast + own modem + A Brand new Apple iPad (10th Generation) unlimited lines and the final monthly bill will be just $55/mo after auto pay with the checking account and inclusive all the taxes and fees.

below is what the agent promise. 

Yes, I am helping  to help lower your bill. Additionally, you will receive 500 Mbps, and since this iPad is part of our bundle deals with the internet, you are getting a good discount for having the iPad line with us. You will receive a $40 discount on your internet bill, making your internet bill just $15 per month . The iPad will cost you $40 per month, so the combined monthly bill will be just $55 per month after auto-pay with a checking account, including all taxes and fees."

@XfinityEva​ question was not answered. Matter fact made it worse like it was my fault. 

Xfinity:  $55 month Service if you get fast internet with an Xfinity mobile ipad. 

me: I get the fast internet and the xfinity mobile ipad like Xfinity said.  

Xfinity:  sorry you don't get the promotional discount because it's an iPad.

me: well if I'm not getting the discount then cancel the Xfinity mobile iPad 

xfinity: well you don't get the discount because you canceled the iPad with xfinity mobile.

The concern is not related to Xfinity Compliments................... Topic moved here to the proper help section, and for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Did they apply the $40 credit for you yet? Because I’m having the same problem and the customer support keeps transferring me back and forth between mobile dep and internet dep. They don’t even let me return the ipad because it is past 14 days lmao. What a joke
