Schedule a Call

Tap Submit Request

Click Submit after filling out the required fields in the form and wait for the confirmation page. A Comcast representative will call within 5-7 days to confirm the request and process the cancellation.

Before canceling the service, the customer retention team might offer discounts to keep you on board. Depending on your location, they may also suggest a seasonal pause, ideal for customers who will only be away for a few months. This option can save you the hassle of returning equipment and potential reconnection fees if you decide to restart service later.
