Comcast charges tech visit fee against its own stated no-charge policy
A customer was billed $100 for a technician visit that Xfinity's own policy explicitly exempts from charges when repairs are on the provider's infrastructure. Support refused to reverse the charge despite the technician's work being entirely on Comcast's side. The inconsistency between advertised policy and billing practice leaves customers with no recourse.

Xfinity Double-Charges Customers During Service Transfers and Hides Old Statements
When Xfinity customers move and transfer their service, billing errors including duplicate charges are common, and the company suppresses access to historical statements from the previous address to prevent customers from identifying and disputing the discrepancy. The deliberate limitation of billing history access is a structural barrier to consumer dispute rights in a sector with minimal regulatory enforcement.
Telecom Providers Routinely Fail to Honor Promotional Pricing Commitments
Consumers who switch to telecom providers based on promotional pricing find their bills consistently exceed advertised rates, with no functional escalation path.
