Shikha>
Great choice!
Guest_>
i've had that package for last 4 years. but couple days ago was told i can cancel cable and keep my same internet, which ended up being slower speed.
Shikha>
Vadim, as I can see that you are already using our Internet service.
Guest_>
yes i am
Shikha>
Vadim, I can provide you the bundle package for both the service for $79.95/month.
Shikha>
Is this fine?
Guest_>
no, i need my previous package that i've had for 65.94.
Guest_>
can you look up my last bill i've paid and see the package i've had and resubscribe me to the same exact package?
Shikha>
Let me check that for you.
Shikha>
Your last bill was $49.95.
Guest_>
the one before that
Shikha>
Vadim, as I can see that the same package is not available in your market now.
Shikha>
Vadim, I apologize.
Shikha>
I do not have access to that account.
Shikha>
I can provide you the best package for both the service for $79.95/month. .
Guest_>
not interested. if you can't help me, then cancel my service completely.
Shikha>
Alright!
Shikha>
I would suggest you please call on our toll free number.
Shikha>
As they have direct contact with our dispatch team.
Guest_>
i've already tried three times today, they're closed till monday
Shikha>
Thay will surely help you with the same.
Shikha>
Alright!
Shikha>
Vadim, you can also visit one of our local service center.
Guest_>
thanks, but i can wait till monday.
Shikha>
Great!
Shikha>
You're most welcome.
Shikha>
Is there anything else may I assist you with today?
Guest_>
if you could have helped me check out would have been great, but you've tried to upsell me a more expensive package without actually helping so that wasn't very helpfull.
Shikha>
Vadim, I have pulled up your account
Guest_>
can you do me a favor and add performance internet and basic cable by themselves? without being a package?
Guest_>
that's what i've had in my cart but i couldn't check out because the site is under maintenance.
Shikha>
Alright!
Guest_>
maybe then you'll be able to provide me the service that i wanted at the right price
Shikha>
Let me again check that for you.
Shikha>
Vadim, would you like our technician comes at your place and install the services?
Guest_>
no, i already have your service installed
Guest_>
i just need someone somewhere to flip a switch or press a key so i can have 20mbit connection instead of 6mbit.
Guest_>
i've had your service for past 4 years till today when i came home and found it i have no internet...
Shikha>
No need to worry.
Shikha>
I am adding the same package to your account.
Shikha>
The Basic cable and Performance Internet to the account.
Guest_>
yes please.
Shikha>
I can provide you the self install kit for $9.95 one time shipping charges.
Shikha>
Is this fine?
Guest_>
i don't need any kits. i already have modem. i already have your cable, i already have your internet. my problem is my internet is 6mbit when i want 20mbit.
Shikha>
Vadim, as I can see in my system you are using our Interent service.
Shikha>
There is no cable service in your account.
Shikha>
So I need to add that to your account.
Guest_>
that's correct. till two days ago i had both cable and internet then one of your reps told me i can cancel cable and keep same 20mbit internet for $50 a month. that's what prompted me in the move and now i have to redo everything that i've head because i've been mislead by a comcast rep.
Shikha>
Vadim, I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
Guest_>
not your fault, but do try to straighten this out. PLEASE
Shikha>
But my system won't allow me to finish your order without the self installation kit.
Guest_>
your system is stupid, sorry.
Shikha>
I understand how frustrating is this.
Shikha>
But I would highly recommend you please call on our toll free number on Monday.
Guest_>
you can send me the kit, but then refund me $9.95 because i have nothing to install. i've had everything installed for the last 4 years.
Shikha>
If you don't want the kit then you need to place the order at the service center.
Shikha>
From there you can pick the kit free of cost.
Shikha>
As they have direct contact with our dispatch team.
Shikha>
They have more resources then us.
Guest_>
i'd rather wait till monday and just call them over the phone. thanks for your help.
Shikha>
Perfect!
Shikha>
You're most welcome.
Shikha>

You have much more patience than I. I wouldn't have made it through 10 minutes.

Sounds like someone from... not necessarily India, but... Haha I see what you did there at the end, ironically the Comcast rep I talked to a few years back said that same word whilst describing coaxial cable. Good stuff.
