Customer service nightmare

I have never had a worse experience in my life.  I recently moved in with someone and am keeping my old place in interim and wanted to cancel my internet or do a very basic plan for a ring camera (I can get a 10-15$ hotspot through cellular company). 

Firstly canceling is crazy and extremely hard. Secondly I kept being bombarded by horrible offers. Like worse speeds and double the rate of my plan at my new place? Then finally after 1hr the person says we have a basic plan for 15$ cool, but they have to transfer me. They do that and the person on the other side starts all over with the offers and then calls me a liar about my rate when it’s on my acc… not realizing I have 2 services. Okay cool I say forget it I’d rather pay my cellar company than these guys and I try to ask them to cancel over and over and they ignore me offering me more rates. No. Finally they say okay you can cancel but talk to another person (this is the third person at this point) 

That person doesn’t even talk to me ends all chats and doesn't allow me to reconnect. Nice. So now I finally get a 4th person who sets up a call, okay fine. I get on the call the 5th person doesn’t say my name right, still trying to sell me, I have to lie saying I’m moving out to get them to cancel. 2.5h at this point and I missed my lunch. I have been using them for 4 years maybe more before that it’s crazy. I don’t get how it’s legal for them to ignore your constant requests to cancel. I kept repeating it over and over and was ignored.

I have always thought xfinity was predatory, but wow. Install team is amazing though shout out to them.

Hello @user_kama4r I am very sorry to hear of your experience and that type of response to cancellation requests is unacceptable. Were you able to get the requested changes made? Our team would be happy to look into everything on your account to make sure what you requested has been done properly.

Ideally I would have been able to switch to Internet Essential services considering I need internet for one very low bandwidth device. 

Unfortunately I was unable to achieve this in 2.5 hours and 5 customer support people. So I canceled my internet instead and they had been able to fulfill that request.

In the future it would be nice to be able to talk to people who are trained to get the best outcome, not pinch the most money out of people and sell them stuff they don’t need. 

Luckily many other companies can provide the service I need and hopefully less headache.

@user_kama4r If you'd like me to double-check if there is anything we can do with that I'd be happy to take a look at everything. Internet Essentials does have certain rules we have to follow but since it was a move there may be some flexibility. I just need to pull the account up to exactly what can be done. If you'd like to do this please send a direct message with your full name and the service address, and I'll take a look.
