~fishface's review of Comcast customer service
GetHuman: So how would you sum up your experience for GetHuman's Comcast customer community? We'll censor any IDs, numbers, or codes and any inappropriate words here out of respect to the millions of other customers using this resource.
~fishface: Called this number, was repeatedly told at the end of the menu to hang up and call this number again (cue starting the menu all over again). Finally discovered that if I selected the "add new services" option (what I really needed was to get my cable fixed, which has been down for almost * months) I would actually get a human on the phone. Was lied to several times, connected to departments in * different states, and hung up on and given disconnected numbers to call * times. Finally got a normal, helpful human on the phone - this was * days later. It literally took * days. I disconnected my service and switched to a new provider.
GetHuman: Let's quantify your experience contacting Comcast. On a scale of 1 to 5, how easy is it go get help on a Comcast problem?
~fishface: I'd give them a three out of five for ease of finding your way to help.
GetHuman: What about quality of communication. How would you rate that on a 1 to 5 scale?
~fishface: I'd give them a two out of five on communication.
GetHuman: And what about Comcast's ability to quickly and effectively address your problem?
~fishface: For that I would say three out of five.
GetHuman: And finally- any advice for other Comcast customers?
~fishface: Call them early in the day or late. Don't forget any personal or account information you might need for Comcast to know who you are.
GetHuman: Well there you have it. Some useful feedback and words from ~fishface taken from his Comcast customer service problem that occurred on November 22nd, 2017.
