Hello Beth_, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Alexa. Please give me one moment to review your information.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:50:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Ok, I can assist you with this issue, may I have your home Ok, I can assist you with this issue, may I have your home phone number area code first?

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 08:50:24 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

I just typed it in to get into the chat room.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 08:50:44 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Here, I’ll do it again if your system is that lame.  530-123-4567

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:51:19 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

I do apologize but we do not see that information.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:51:44 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Thank you, one moment while I access your account.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:52:46 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

May I have you verify the name & address on the account?

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 08:52:52 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Robert xxxx, 1234 McKinley Road.  Second time I’ve typed that in 3 minutes, too.  Great system!

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:53:43 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Thank you.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:55:42 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Ok what you will need to do is log onto comcast.net and access Customer Central and you can create a secondary account there.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 08:55:44 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

How do I log on if I don’t have an email address?

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 08:56:36 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

The fancast splash page says this: Every Comcast Internet customer already has a Comcast.net email address.

Need your Comcast.net email address? Get it here via online chat or call 1-888-586-2364  …. so I have to go elsewhere?

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:57:38 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

You will need to use the primary user id to log on.  If you don’t have that information, I can provide it for you but I would need to verify some security information first.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 08:57:51 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

What kind of security info?  I can never remember Bob’s SS number.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 11:58:49 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

What is the last 4 digits of the SSN # on the account?

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Hold on one minute, I’ll call him and ask.  It shouldn’t take very long.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:00:04 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

xxxx

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:00:37 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Ok.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:00:59 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Did you get the second part of that reply?  Last four numbers are xxxx.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:02:03 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Ok thank you.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:03:06 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

The user id is xxxxxx and I reset the password to xxxxx.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:04:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Where do I create the secondary account?

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:05:50 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Customer Central located on the home page comcast.net under Comcast Services & Support.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:07:03 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

I don’t see services and support on the home page.  A million other things, but not that.  Do you have a direct link?

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:09:34 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

I do, but if your on comcast.net located on the far right bottom of the page it says in a grey box, Comcast Services & Support.  Under that it says Manage My Account, and then Customer Central.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:10:24 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Nevermind, I found it.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:10:57 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

You will need to go to the User & Settings tab.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:14:33 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Oh, nice, I went through all of it and it said Your request cannot be processed, please try later.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:15:40 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Are you logged in on the home computer?

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:15:30 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

On one of the home computers.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:17:13 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Is it he main computer connected directly to the EMTA/Modem?

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:17:35 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Oh, forget it, it has nothing to do with the connection.  I’m getting the internet just fine, as you should be able to tell by the fact that I am chatting with you.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:19:03 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

In order to make changes as such, you have to be on the main computer.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:19:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

That makes no sense whatsoever.  It’s a browser based app, theoretically one should be able to use it anywhere in the world.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:20:27 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

I understand but this is how it is set up.

Beth_(Mon Jan 25 2010 09:21:40 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

No it’s not.  Your manual is deficient.  Once again, Comcast lives up to expectations.  It was a browser. Your app only works with Internet Explorer.  I just got in fine after I switched browsers.

Alexa(Mon Jan 25 2010 12:26:47 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time))>

Or you can try clearing your cache, it should be compatible with Firefox as well.  What browser where you using?

I suppose there was no graceful way for her to back out at this point, so a hangup became necessary.  I’m getting used to it.

I can’t wait to move and try a different service.  We pay HUGE bucks to comcast every month for a lot of channels and internet access.  Their loss.
