Verbal assurances from support contradict what billing systems record. The pattern is systemic in the ISP industry — customer-facing staff lack visibility into actual contract terms.

Xfinity charged after explicit cancellation despite two reps confirming no charge. Ten different reps gave conflicting answers over months.
ISP Treats Cancellation as a Pending Request Rather Than an Executed Instruction
Comcast converted a mid-month cancellation call into a cancellation request rather than processing it, generating an additional bill. The customer spent hours on the phone converting the request into an actual cancellation and still awaited email confirmation.
Individual Bank and Credit Bureau Complaints
Consumer complaints over post-cancellation billing charges and unvalidated accounts being reported to credit bureaus.
