Why is your website so bad?

You're an internet company, this is insane. Your website should work smoothly every time, on every browser. There is absolutely no excuse for it.

Anyway, here are my issues:

  • Cannot access my bill from my email. I click "View bill" and login (which only works like 50% of the time), and if I'm lucky enough to login get an error that reads "We're having some trouble connecting to My Account." There is an option to Try Again, which I click, and it doesn't work, again.
  • I'll log me out randomly, all the time, and I'll have to login again and verify again.
  • When I attempt to navigate to payments, I get "Access Denied." I looked for solutions to this on the forums and found threads over a year old of other people having the same issue. How has this not been fixed in over a year? It's mind-blowing.
  • I cannot access my bill, which I no longer receive in the mail, and I cannot change my settings to start receiving it in the mail again because of the above issues. I would like to do this at this point so I can see what I'm being charged and why.
  • I cannot update my payment method, autopay timing, or anything else related to payments online. I'll probably have to call in to address this nonsense.

Please fix your website and credit my account.

What type of device are you on? Specifically the OS and browser? Our website is optimized to do so many great things. From your description of the experience, I would assume that you might be on an older version of your OS that does not support the modern browser version needed to have your desired experience. As devices fall behind on updates, and upgrades, websites that are geared to support updated plugins cause these style of delays in performance.

I'm enrolled in the paperless billing system and I can't even look at my "eco bill" online because I keep getting this error and rerouting loop. I'm sure everybody involved knows just how bad it is. [Edited: inflammatory] it; I'm going back to paper bills and mailing you a paper check.

This is my experience exactly. The website is unusable. The AI assistant on the app is useless. They have a monopoly so they can do - or not do - whatever they want and it shows.

This is; unfortunately, deliberate. If it takes you forever to peruse the website, you are less likely to cancel your plan, change it to a cheaper one, etc. It forces the user to call in instead so the underpaid company they outsourced to take phone calls can beg and persuade you to spend more money, not cancel your plan and more. They keep it terrible on purpose.

Agree with all above comments. seems criminal. I have jumped through all the hoops several times!

Quite possibly criminal. Users should sue. I physically can't change things on my account and they get to keep charging me? I'm very tech savvy, this is not an issue on my end. Fix your stupid site Xfinity.

The automation literally takes you in loops.  Worst customer service and website i've used.  Ever.

Absolutely worst website ever! 

My bill is always high and higher and I can never actually see my Internet usage because the site always has some sort of fault error. This has to be by design. If you have to explain how I can see my bill other than simply clicking on the link, you're intentionally hiding the bill.

I tried to update my autopay on Firefox. Completely failed; this website is unusable. Managed to do it on mobile, but even that was not straightforward. Whichever higher-up owns web should be embarrassed.

So true. You'd think this greedy company would make it easier to give them money, but I'm lucky if the website stays together long enough to pay my bill.

This seriously needs to be the most upvoted thread on here. The website is absolutely atrocious. I've had better results with DIAL-UP browsing than my 500mbps internet can run this garbage. The simple fact that you can't cancel your service online is enough reason alone to make it absolutely absurd. 404 Error on an internet company website? Purely, ridiculous. Do better, Xfinity.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I'm having the same issue. It's been ongoing almost 3 weeks now. I'm not understand this reoccurring issue. I haven't been able to access my bill for the past 3 weeks to setup autopay or do anything. How do you expect me to pay a bill of I can't access it. @Xfinity Support you need to get this together.

The user above is accurate.

This is absolutely nuts.  HOW CAN THIS COMPANY NEVER GET THE WEB SITE WORKING?  I can't get into billing, can't determine what I pay and when for what services at what address.  The amount billed on my credit card goes up and up.  Some people think this is intentional so end users are forced to call in and get a sales pitch for even more services. And the phone people, while pleasant enough, are forced into reading scripts and I have to listen to all this pre recorded nonsense just to get on with my day. This has been going on for over a year!  I can't wait for Starlink.  There is no competition in my area so I'm stuck with this clown show.  This company makes my blood boil with every interaction.

While waiting for Xfinity last year at this time, I signed up for Star Link for an RV. I did so on line, spoke to no person and had service set up the next day. I would dump Xfinity right now but people stay in our house while we travel.

Please make sure in the future should you need help to first start with your own public post. That way proper tracking and help can be provided. We appreciate you following our guidelines.

Why are you responding with a scripted response?

Have you tried using our Xfinity App?

- Valid workaround for an outage, we don't want to use the app.

How are you accessing the website?

- Using a valid browser (Chrome) that works on 1000's of other sites, just not yours.

- Tried incognito mode, Brave, Edge and I am about to download Netscape to confirm 100%!

Are you getting any error messages?

- Not loading, redirecting in a loop, random disconnection errors. 

Error tells us to delete cookies.

Answer the question, Why is your website so bad?

We want answers as to why the website does not function properly - going on about a year!

Are you telling me that on your end it works and we are all crazy?

Why is any website bad? Poor technical management -> poor execution. Starts with paying money for the right software leadership. Connected to the right business decisions. But really, we know why it is so bad, we don't need to ask. Comcast operates a monopoly in the internet space. I remember $5 calls to Europe with AT&T. Now we have a company that thinks 1.2TB is the way to trick everyone into a $30 bill hike without calling it that. Dollars rule. Customers unfortunate necessity. Europe does not have these problems. The municipalities bought the cable and turned the cable companies into ISPs. Like immigration and so many other things, there are places in the world we could just say, "copy that". But alas ... money drives government and not vice versa in the US.

Agreed, this website in intentionally confusing and redirects users though loops.  Almost impossible to get actual figures regarding your charges, and if you change they use arbitrary plus or minus figures based on your current billing for more obfuscation.
