ISP Customer Service Phone Trees Force Repeated Authentication on Every Transfer

Comcast customers are forced to re-authenticate their identity every time they are transferred to a new department, turning a single support query into a 30-minute ordeal. The IVR design makes it nearly impossible to get a simple answer without navigating multiple layers of authentication. This is a systemic ISP process failure rather than a software-buildable opportunity.
