Just a quick testimonial regarding a recent GREAT customer service SLASH social media experience I had.
I get back from a long trip to find my cable was turned off. Strange clerical error, whatever, there are much worse things to stress about. I call, get it all taken care of and think I am all set. But then days pass and my cable becomes increasingly more pixelated. And then my internet goes down – and that’s just not ok.
I had heard of and seen people using the twitter @comcastcares account to help them with problems, so I thought I would try. Not having internet in my house, I used my iPhone’s Twitterfon app and tweet my request for help. Within minutes I had a reply saying that there weren’t any outages in the area and if I DM’d them my phone #, they could look into it further. I dutifully complied and was then asked by another customer service rep from Comcast if they could help. 2 replies in 10 minutes! I asked my first rep if I should get help from the 2nd rep and they went ahead and told them that they were on the case.
Within 15 minutes, I got a call form a local Chicago operator who then ran through some basic tech support and determined I needed an onsite person. This was RIGHT before Memorial Day, so I wasn’t expecting an onsite person anytime soon, but the phone rep got someone to come ON MEMORIAL DAY. And they actually came! And fixed it!
Now it sucks that it was messed up in the first place, but the fact that their tech support team was able to respond to my request using social media and then follow through with multiple other methods of communication REALLY impressed me. I am sure it’s not the last problem I will have with Comcast, but at least now I can have some faith that they can help me get it taken care of in the future. Way to go Comcast!
