Being charged installation fee because it's within 30 days of starting service, even if it's not an installation issue

Hello, I've been getting 100-200 Mbps speeds since installing my modem/router despite paying for the 1000 Mbps plan.  I contacted customer support who scheduled a technician visit, and I was charged a $100 professional installation fee.  I was told by the first customer service agent that their testing was concerning for an external wiring issue.  I discussed this charge with a second agent who confirmed that this $100 professional installation fee could not be waived.  However, as I installed the modem/router correctly, and I have done so many times in the past, and this appears to be an external issue, I would like confirmation that if it is an external issue, that my fee will be waived.  Otherwise, I am essentially being charged $100 to receive the service that I am supposed to be getting without this extra charge.

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

As an update for anyone following, they were not willing to waive the installation fee even if the problem is related to Xfinity's network.
