Sometimes, you need assistance from a Netflix customer service agent. Luckily, it's not too difficult to connect with one. By following the steps below, I got a real live person on the other end of the line in less than a minute.
Getting on the phone with a real human who can answer your questions, help you with your account and provide other Netflix customer services is a multi-step approach. And you can get a rep much faster if you know where to look.
Customer support agents can help you resolve billing questions, deduce why Netflix isn't working on your device, or even help you reset your password. They can help you cancel your Netflix subscription, too, but I bet they'll be more likely to talk you into keeping it.
And that, is how you get a Netflix customer service representative on the line. It worked for me, and I'm sure it will work for you. You may have a slightly longer wait than I did, though, as I called at 9:30 a.m ET, when the western half of the country was just waking up.
Once you've resolved this issue, you can get back to streaming the best Netflix shows. We've also got a guide for how to sign up for Netflix, one for parents trying to find the best family movies on Netflix, and another explaining how to change your Netflix password.

What happens to my Netflix account if I move?
Your Netflix subscription relationship is with Netflix directly, even if you signed up through Xfinity X1. Because of this, a move will not impact your subscription unless you are billed by Comcast, in which case, you will need to update your method of payment for Netflix.
Note: You'll need to sign in to Netflix again once you activate the boxes at your new address. If you move and no longer have Xfinity services, you will no longer be billed by Comcast and must update your payment method for Netflix or risk losing your Netflix Service.
If you have a previous, valid method of payment (credit or debit card, for example) on file with Netflix, Netflix will charge your previous method of payment. Contact Netflix to cancel your Netflix account after changing your service package with Comcast.

If you accidentally connect the wrong Netflix account to your Xfinity package, please sign out of the Netflix app on X1 and please contact us.

Why is Netflix programming displaying in letterbox?
If you signed up for a Netflix standard definition (SD) package, the Netflix content will appear in SD in the letterbox format, even if you are an Xfinity HD customer. In order to get rid of the letterbox view, you must change your Netflix subscription to a package that includes HD.
