I ordered high speed internet from Comcast. I followed the instructions to the letter: scheduled installation, ordered modem from BROADBANDOFFERS.COM, had modem available for tech dude when he arrived. He was unable to hook up the modem I ordered per Comcast's emailed instructions. He hooked up one from his truck. Now I "purchased" this modem, which I must return to broadbandoffers- I'm out the shipping both ways- like $20!
Check broadbandoffers.com on google and find a slew of complaints; Comcast doesn't fare much better.

Comcast is a rip-off monopoly. If you live in their area, they've got you by the proverbial balls!

I too purchased service and a router from broadbandoffers.com and received no paperwork in order to process the rebates. It said that upon placing the order if terms and conditions were met that I would receive the rebates in 10-16 weeks. The order was placed on Dec 24th and it is March 3 and I have heard nothing nor seen anything in my bank account. Therefore, I have contacted the support. I did receive the monthly rate as promised, but spent $129.95 on a router that was supposed to be free after rebate and haven't seen a dime in rebates. Guess I will see if anything is resolved!!

Too good to be true, usually is!

I Returned the Equipment with proper documents after I was informed by Comcast that Cable service was not Available, but never received a refund of the 89.99.

On December 9th, 2008 I purchased a cable modem from Broadbandoffers.com. The reason I purchased this order is because I saw an ad for the modem for $89.95 and an $89.95 mail in rebate. After placing my order online I printed out the mail-in rebate forms as instructed, which were required for rebate along with the barcode from the box, copy of my first cable bill and the shipping invoice (that would come in the box. I was prepared to send the rebate the moment my product arrived.

Approximately a week later my package arrived and after testing to make sure the product worked (after about five minutes) I began to gather everything into the envelope. I cut out the Bar Code as instructed but the problem was that there was no shipping invoice or any other kind of paper in the box I had received.

I then got on broadbandoffers.com to look for a support number that I could call to try to get the issue resolved. I was not able to find any support number, I was only able to find a FAQ’s section. In the FAQ’s section, right away I found:

“Your shipping invoice is a necessary part of your rebate submission forms’ accompanying materials. It acts as your “store receipt” and contains your shipment information, including your ship-to address, order number and purchased product. You will find this invoice included with your cable modem packaging.
Please hold on to your shipping invoice. We're sorry, but we're unable to reproduce the original.“

I figured I was still okay because they hadn’t sent me the invoice, so maybe they would find it and ship it to me separate. I also had emails directly from broadbandoffers.com that had the ‘shipment information, including your ship-to address, order number and purchased product’. Printed out both of the emails, figuring they had the information they would need of they weren’t able to get me the original shipping invoice.

After gathering all of the information and even sealing the envelopes I was a little weary of sending the original barcode and losing it forever. So I attempted one last effort and replied to the email address that I had received the order confirmation from.

The first email I sent:
“I received my modem and I am missing a packing slip like you require for rebates, I just opened the box about an hour ago and the only two things in there were the modem in the box and the cox fast connect kit in the box. I noticed on your website it says that it is needed because contains your shipment information, including your ship-to address, order number and purchased product. Is it possible to print out the email order confirmation I received from you (that contains all that information)? If not, what do I do? “

A few hours later I received this email in response:
“We're sorry but every order is packed with a shipping invoice. Since the invoice is created at the time of shipment we are not able to create a duplicate.

Sincerely,
Sam
Customer Service
BroadbandOffers.com”

I immediately responded with:
“Hi Sam,
I can guarantee that there was no paper in the box, everything is sitting right in front of me just as I opened it. Just the two boxes as I stated before. Are you telling me that you will not allow me a rebate because you did not pack a shipping slip? As stated before, I have all email communication with all of the information the website said was needed- I can print those and send them in place? If not, is there any other option?”

Upon which I received this email an hour later:
“We're sorry but every order is packed with a shipping invoice. Since the invoice is created at the time of shipment we are not able to create a duplicate.
Sincerely,
Sam
Customer Service
BroadbandOffers.com”

This was the exact same email I had received before. So I replied:
“Sam,
That is the exact same message you sent me before and it didn't seem to answer my questions. I guess if I cannot receive my rebate I would prefer to return the equipment. What do I need to do to return it?”

I then received this response:
“We regret that you've decided not to take advantage of this exclusive on-line offer.

Since I had already cut out the barcode they wanted to charge me $60 to return it- along with my shipping cost of $9.99 and another $9.99 to ship it back! I couldn’t get past anything but automated responses so I decided to try one last time to resolve the situation:

“I dont understand why I can't get someone to actually look at my emails without an automated response. I don't see how it is fair that you will not process my refund when it is your companies fault i did not receive a packing slip. And I should be charged $20 if I decide to return it because of your error. Or $100 if I were to keep it! Is there no other solution? And please, an email response with 'customer service' in mind would be something I would appreciate.”

Three days later I received this response:
“We're sorry but every order is packed with a shipping invoice. Since the invoice is created at the time of shipment we are not able to create a duplicate.

Sincerely,
Sam
Customer Service
BroadbandOffers.com”

This is the EXACT same message I received in the beginning! I believe they purposefully did not include the shipping invoice so they would not be responsible for the rebate. I Googl-ed their company name and found that the first page of results were filled with complaints, rip-off and fraud alerts. I feel they are trying to scam me out of $100 and request a reverse charge on my credit card on the basis that all the goods promised were NOT shipped (being the shipping invoice, in this case worth the rebate of $89.99).

Before submitting this letter I attempted to contact Broadbandoffers.com via the phone number that I found on my bank statement. Before I could get my story out I was placed on hold, being told to ‘please hold for one minute’ and remained on hold for 45 MINUTES! I ran out of patience and hung up. I attempted to call back approximately 6 hours later- I was placed on hold once again and this time only waited 15 minutes before hanging up and completing this paragraph.

This company advertised a $19.99/month comcast internet promotion, along with some rebates. After buying the starter packet from them I initiated service with comcast. However, my first bill showed $42.95 for the internet service. Comcast rep told me that they do not know anything about broadbandoffers promotion. Broadbandoffers rep told me that I must deal with comcast directly, and that their fine print says the $19.99 rate may not be available everywhere!

Stay away from them.
