$100 Surprise Technician Fee

Our internet was running slower than usual and after a few diagnostics, the Xfinity app said that it may be a hardware issue from the Xfinity side. So at the urging of the diagnostic I booked an appointment. After checking the speed and the cables outside the technician found the issue and left. At no point was there any notification of fee before, during, or after the service until I saw it on the bill. This is a disingenuous business practice and obviously meant to trick customers into more fees.

Concern moved here to the Billing help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

I would pay that 100 for someone to hook mine up. I have tried for a week.
