    Foolishly agreed to switch phone service from Verizon to Xfinity while dealing with home internet problems. Was not told by agent about outages in our area. Spent day after day for week never to actually get service. When attempted switch back to Verizon that requires a transfer Pin. Standard way is to get text message. My phone would not get texts. In store agent gave phone number to call. Had to go back next night where agent was on hold for over hour to finally give transfer pin only works for 4 hours. Not enough time contact Verizon since got number at 6:15 pm. Went back into store again two days later. Incorrect IMEI number was in my Xfinity account. When attempted to get set back up with Verizon - Xfinity has days of where not able to just switch back to other provider. Now stuck where having trouble activating Verizon account again. Entire experience has been stressful and negative for now past week. Have talked to easily around 20 different agents or so and can not recommend this company if better options available.

    This is absolutely the worst customer service in all of my 79 years. It takes forever to get through to a live human and she usually has a foreign accent. My land lines have no dial tone. I called t lest 5 times to schedule repairs and was promised specific times. No one has showed up in 10 days nor has anyone contacted me. I have finally given up and will switch to Comcast/X- finity who answered the phone right away and scheduled me very soon.
