Formal Dispute of Installation Fee

Dear Xfinity,

​I am writing to resolve a $100 installation fee currently appearing on my account. I previously spoke with a representative who assured me this charge would be removed, but it remains on my balance.

​The technician visit was required because the initial XB7 modem provided was defective. Although the Xfinity app indicated a "healthy signal" and successful activation, the modem would only load an internal admin page, essentially blocking internet access. I confirmed this by attempting to connect three separate devices; while all connected to the Wi-Fi, every device was restricted to that admin page and could not reach the internet.

​The technician confirmed the hardware was not functioning correctly and replaced the unit with an XB8, which worked perfectly and immediately.

​As this visit was necessary to replace faulty company equipment, the installation fee should not apply. I am requesting that you honor the previous representative's assurance and apply a $100 credit to my account.

​I would like to remain a customer, but this experience—combined with being told the fee was removed when it was not—is making me reconsider the reliability of my service. I would appreciate your help in correcting this so I can move forward with confidence in Xfinity as my provider.

​Thank you for your assistance.
