Xfinity Mobile Data Overcharges Escalate to Wrongful Service Disconnection
After Xfinity staff assured customers their existing data plan would carry over to new phones, unexpectedly high data charges accumulated to over $1,000. Even after a credit card dispute resolved the charges and a representative confirmed cancellation, the customer's phone service was later disconnected for the supposedly-cancelled balance.

surfaced semanticallyTelecom Reps Quote Monthly Rates That Exclude Per-GB Overage Billing Creating Shock Bills
Comcast sales representatives quoted a $40 monthly total that omitted the per-GB billing structure, which generated a $565 first bill. After customer service promised correction, the bill increased to $780 and phone service was disconnected. The gap between quoted and actual pricing is systematic, enabled by sales incentives that reward switching without requiring accurate disclosure.
ISP System Creates Duplicate Account During Plan Change Then Charges for Phantom Devices
Comcast created an unsolicited duplicate account when a customer changed plans, cancelled the original 7-year account, and began charging for devices that were never received. The duplicate account generated a $320 balance and prompted collection calls for a device the customer never had. Customers modifying existing plans have no protection against ISP systems incorrectly creating new accounts instead.
Xfinity Billing Fails to Reconcile Charges After a Requested Disconnect
A customer who requested disconnection of mobile service ahead of a move found the line still active weeks later, then faced a confusing sequence of partial payments, late fees, and an escalating final bill that did not match what representatives quoted. Billing statements and disconnect requests are not kept in sync across support interactions.
Carrier reneges on trade-in and pricing promises for mobile switch
A customer switching carriers was assured, across multiple calls, that damaged phones would be accepted for trade-in and that pricing would stay near $180 per month, but was later billed close to $237 monthly, charged an unexplained $800+ fee, and given conflicting reasons for rejecting the returned phones. No return labels were ever provided despite repeated requests.
Comcast refuses to process phone return refund
A consumer returned a defective Xfinity phone but Comcast repeatedly denied the return occurred despite warehouse confirmation. The refund dispute involved multiple representatives giving contradictory information. This is an individual service failure, not a structural software-addressable problem.
