Comcast customer service response times
Comcast’s customer service response times can vary depending on the method of contact, the volume of inquiries, and the nature of the issue. However, here’s a general idea of what to expect:
Phone support | Comcast’s customer service phone support response times can vary widely depending on factors such as time of day, call volume, and the nature of the issue. Some customers report long wait times, especially during peak hours or after major service outages. It’s not uncommon for wait times to exceed 30 minutes, though some customers have experienced shorter waits during less busy times. Call customer service at (800) 266-2278. |
Email support | Comcast does not provide a direct email address for customer service inquiries on the website. Instead, the company encourages customers to use other support channels, such as the online chat, phone support, or social media platforms such as X. |
Live chat | Comcast’s customer service live chat support tends to offer faster response times compared to phone support, though it can still vary depending on the time of day and service volume. Typically, you may wait anywhere from a few minutes to 10 to 15 minutes for an initial response. During peak times, such as evenings or weekends, wait times could be longer. |
Social media | Comcast’s customer service through social media (such as Twitter or Facebook) is often quicker than phone support, with response times typically ranging from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the platform and volume of inquiries. The company has dedicated social media teams, often using handles such as @XfinitySupport on X, to address customer concerns. Here’s how to reach Comcast via social media. |
Help center/FAQ | Comcast’s customer service help center and FAQ support is designed for self-service, meaning there is no direct response time as you’re accessing pre-written solutions to common issues. This can be a quick way to resolve simple problems. |

I have had the worst experience of my life. Comcast came by to change the lines from the old pole to the new pole in my backyard and now I have no services since 11:28 on 4/15/25. I have been on the phone with them and chatting from 3:30 to 10:30 pm when they sent a message at 2:45pm saying the services were back up. They are trying to tell me the best they can do is 2 days from now when I will not be home. THEY NEVER CONNECTED THE WIRE TO THE POLE!!!! I should not have to wait for 2 days for them to come fix the problem they messed up!!!!
I have MANY issues with representatives of Xfinity mobile. The service is fine, it's the agents.
1) When first enrolled and bundled internet and mobile I was promised gift cards. They never came. Also, they never provided anything in writing. That was the first clue. They never give you summary emails or put anything on your online account.
2) I had troubles with a sim card and they were no help, even at the store. I finally figured out to have them send me a new sim card. It should have been an easy fix in the store but they couldn't figure it out so I ordered a new phone. But the sim card issue was fixed and I sent the phone back. That was 7 months ago. The refund never arrived. I called in early March and was promised the refund. I have had the same conversation with agen ts 4 times and they always promise the refund and are super polite. It's all lies. There is no record online now of even having purchased the phone and returned it. Nothing in writing. It was there for a time and then disappeared. It is all very phishy. Today I called and they quickly transferred me, but to an identity fraud number which is not the problem I was calling about. The agent was passing the buck. They make the government look efficient.
THere is little match for frustration in dealing with Comcast. They are obviously WAY TOO BIG with HUGE issues in their systems and processes. I have been trying, FOR OVER A MONTH, to get two XG1v4 cable boxes so I can get 4K on our TVs. Their wireless boxes WILL NOT WORK in our house due to distances between boxes. I have been to the stores four times and over 20 HOURS on the phone trying to get these. They have provided the WRONG boxe four times now and each time after hours on the phone with they assured me they are sending the correct boxes, only to get the wrong one, or just dropping the order entirely. I need to talk to a SENIOR manager, not some supervisor who doesn't know anymore than the agent. I had issues with phone service dropping calls a few years ago and it was only by going to the Attorney General in our state did I get any action or resolution. YOu can imagine how long THAT process took!
Comcast is, BY FAR, the WORST company I have EVER dealt with (and still dealing with), Unbelievable....
Should be no stars! Comcast is the worst of the worst. Here they are a monopoly with HORRIBLE customer service. AI that prevents customers from reaching a human being and when you do it's often after an hour's wait time. They arbitrarily change bill without any notice so I have to discover it then the fighting begins. I hate them.
Comcast holds the title for worst customer service in the world. Its call center in India is staffed by a contractor that incentivizes reps to make all sorts of promises, and even lie. It uses AI to erect barriers to reaching a live person. It's impossible for an individual to get more than a one-year contract for services. It raises prices above the inflation rate every single year. When you hear a Comcast agent say, "No worries, [first name of customer], it means they're reading off a script, and it's time to worry big time.
