new remote

im not happy with the 'help' im getting from xfinity.

i need a new remote.

my remote is old, several buttons dont work.

i did the online tests, it told me i need a new remote.

the store told me i have to make contact online for a new one.

the site told me to go to my local xfinity store.

i am quite ready to cancel all services after this frustrating series of events.

please help me get a new remote.

theres no need for you to 'thank' me for doing what i had no choice in doing. 

i have already taken the course of action you ( dear robot ) have suggested.

it ended up telling me to go to a store location, which is where i started and was turned TO 

the online procedure.

all i wanted was a new remote because this one , due to age, is failing on several buttons.

im only writing to perhaps expose this to other customers that may be having similar problems,

to let them know they are not alone.

@user_3va0b2 What you mentioned is not the typical experience and not what we want anyone to deal with, were you able to get a replacement remote?
