Below is the exchange of correspondence. It is about what you would expect. Readers having issues with Comcast might want to note the email and phone numbers for your own complaints.
The large format text is easier to read, but the actual emails are attached FYI.

I note you did not address your own firms repeatedly violating of the 24 month contract, but did acknowledge repeated service interruptions that caused your own breach of contract.
Your firm is the most complained about of any of the TV/Internet/Phone providers and as mentioned in my outgoing to your CEO there will be absolutely no payment of any further sum to your firm and any negative information to credit bureaus will result in legal action.

Dear C Harris,
I did not receive the email response dated 11/15/17 and I apologize for the resolution email delay. However, I reviewed your BBB complaint and understand that your reason for cancelling your account, and 2 year service contract, was due to service interruptions and billing adjustments that were not applied to your account. I also understand that the period in which you experienced the intermittent service outage was October 16, 2017 through October 28, 2017. You mentioned there were approximately 8 credits offered to you and approximately 5 credits were not applied, therefore resulting in the disconnection of your account.
I reviewed the outage history in your area for the dates of October 16, 2017 through October 28, 2017 and confirmed the following service outage dates and contacts to customer service to report an interruption of service:
· 10/16/17 – contact to customer service confirmed
· 10/17/17 – contact to customer service confirmed
· 10/18/17 – documented outage in area per Comcast records
· 10/20/17 – contact to customer service confirmed
· 10/23/17 – contact to customer service confirmed
· 10/26/17 – documented outage in area per Comcast records
· 10/27/17 – contact to customer service confirmed
· 10/31/17 – called to cancel account
I also reviewed your billing and credit history to confirm that the X1 Starter Double Play was accepted on March 31, 2017 at the 24 month contractual rate, effective March 31, 2017 through March 31, 2019. The daily rate for your services, including taxes was $4.64.
The total credit for 8 days of service related issues is $37.12 and your account was credited $50.30 for the dates covering October 16, 2017 through October 28, 2017.
Our records indicate adequate compensation has been applied to the account to compensate you for the temporary service outages. The request to waive the early termination fee is respectfully denied because all applicable credits were applied to your account and the service outages you experienced were repaired. Your final balance is currently $101.01 and as a one-time courtesy, I am willing to offer you a one-time credit of %50.00 for customer satisfaction. In order to prevent collections activity, the remaining $51.01 must be paid in full.
Best Regards,
Deidra H.

The Comcast Final Bill arrived and I am dropping the CEO a line to let him know my opinion of his firm.
Also complaints are outgoing to the BBB and local franchise authority.
Xfinity is a brand of Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, a subsidiary of the Comcast Corporation, used to market consumer cable television, internet, telephone, and wireless services provided by the company. The brand was first introduced in 2010; prior to that, these services were marketed primarily under the Comcast name.
Its CEO is Dave Watson, its chairman is Brian L. Roberts, and its CFO is Catherine Avgiris. Xfinity went from $23.7 billion in revenue in 2007 to $50.04 billion in 2016

MY CHANGE FROM COMCAST
As you know, when leaving Comcast for Dish you will have to get some service for your Internet needs. Here is metro Atlanta Dish has teamed up with Hughes Net so I just got them.
It has been a very long 4 weeks with that bunch. I won't go into details as it would take setting up another site just for all of that to be related.
I have no issue with Dish, just with Hughes. Now I have arranged for Windstream to replace Hughes and perhaps I will be able to report back that they are great and perhaps not.
I think their prices will be a lot better than the upper $70's that Hughes had. (Photo: Speed tests for Hughes Net - L is download, R is upload - very low speeds!)
Windstream comes in via your phone line, not a dish and I took advantage of a deal which seems to get me a free modum, $100 off my bill and a reasonable monthly charge.
I will report back on what I find, but for now you might want to think twice or three times about signing up with Hughes Net. Maybe my issues were just an isolated instance???
Just FYI: I am not getting their phone service, I use cell only, BUT you still get a phone number as part of the install, you can get incoming calls n/c but any outgoing will be at 10 cents a minute since you are not subscribing to their phone service.
