Has Anyone Else Been Lied To By XF Chat Agents

I spoke to  2 agents, the first one helped partially, and then transferred me to another agent to help resolve a Peacock issue.  He PRETENTED to resolve the issue, offered to reduce my internet from 158.00 to 100.00, give me a 75.00 refund, an additional 35.00 credit, told me to download Xfinity Stream and i could access USA Network and watch Live Premier League for 9.95.  There was no angry exchange, I didn't offend him, I wasn't mean to him, in fact it was the opposite,  I was ecstatic he was helping me.  It was all a lie.  I don't know why.  Just weird, and saying things like I was the best customer he had chatted with all day, and I had made him very happy, and using little love hearts in his chat.  (In hindsight, its very creepy).  I realize I am a microspeck in the customer pool, but I'll be taking action by giving my 150.00 (hopefully less) to some other ISP.  XF execs you should be ashamed of yourselves allowing this to happen. Smh.

Literally dozens of times...  I made a post about my own experience earlier.

I'm appalled by their customer service. Creepy and leaves me confused as to why outright lie.

I have a theory as to why they lie and misrepresent:

Their internal Support Metrics are based upon a required amount of time you're kept in chat support and their ability to "successfully resolve" your issue.  I've experienced at least three different methods they use to fudge these Metrics.

1- Like you mention...  they lie or promise things and then never follow through.

2 - Tell you they'll work on your issue and then send you an email once it's resolved.  Or, in the same vein, they'll call you back.

3 - Ungraciously disconnect from your support chat session and making it look like you were the one that disconnected.

They'll say and do anything so long as their internal metrics make it look like they've "successfully" processed the chat request.

This is all theory, but as someone who has worked and managed Tech Support for more than two decades, it looks apparently obvious to me.

I literally was sent statements just like that, or quite similar, more than 25 times.  It's nonsense copy/paste lies.  No one believes it.  There's nothing worse than fake sincerity, and Xfinity Support is the KING of Fake Sincerity.

Hi, I've been sat waiting on the chat since 2.26PM cst.  I am not yet to the point where anyone has answered to let me know where I should enter the verification code.  At this point, should I just give up?
