Is there a way to be compensated for receiving slow internet and useless customer support?

I would like to receive compensation for the poor service, and poor internet speed I'm getting. I upgraded my service to 1200 in February, and I'm getting less than I was getting when I had 1000 Mbps.

When I talked to an agent, after being on the chatbox for 1 hour, they eventually hang up on me, after putting me on hold for ages. Their skills were so poor, I was ashamed for them.  The overseas agents are technically clueless, and hard to understand. They only know how to press buttons, and follow a script. A supervisor was not available.

It is the worst customer service one can experience.

I am now exploring At&t as they provide fiber to the home.

Thank you for your response @user_hunter_slk, and letting us know that you are signed in but having trouble locating the "Direct Message" icon, that is definitely strange but don't worry our team is here to help! You should be able to locate the messaging icon (square speech bubble) in the top right-hand corner. If you are still not seeing it, have you tried reloading the page or clearing cache and cookies? What web browser are you using? We typically recommend Google Chrome. Rest assured though, our team wants to help make sure you are able to get connected with us properly so we can resolve your speed and credit concerns.

I can confirm after exactly one hour on the above mentioned support chat, I did not get anywhere apart from giving them my full account name. The agent took 20 minutes to respond each time. Unacceptable SLO for any kind of "support".

I don't believe the support vehicle I was sent to was even worth considering. I'm at a loss with Xfinity. A very frustrating organization to deal with.

I have used the Direct Messaging chat, and after 45 minutes of waiting, their conclusion was that "nothing was jumping out" in my account as an issue. BUT my request remains, IF you can only deliver 250Mbps to my home (I'm next to the router), and I pay for 1200Mpb/s, I need to be compensated for all the months of extra charges.

I tried to start a conversation in the Direct messaging app, with Xfinity support, and nobody is responding.
Plus there's no user "XfinityDilary" to message directly. So, again, I'm not sure why you're referring users to the direct messaging support, since it's clearly understaffed.
