I am being charged for professional installation even though I was promised that it would be waived.

When I signed up for Xfinity internet the worker told me that I was required to have a professional come and install my internet but that the fee wouldn't be added to my bill and that they would waive it. However, my bill has the professional installation added on to it. How do I get this removed?

Thank you for reaching out and creating a new post. I understand you recently started service, which required a professional installation, generating a fee for the visit. That said, you stated that it was expressed to you that the fee would be covered. Was there a reason they stated the fee wouldn't be charged if the installation was required? Have we serviced your home before you started service, or was this a new installation?

This was a new installation. I was switching from At&t to Xfinity ( I switched a couple weeks ago) and when handing me the router he stated that it is required for a professional to come and install it but to not worry because the fee would be waived. I have never had Xfinity internet before and he was aware of that before he said that.

user_gvhwqp, Got it, there is a fee for a new installation, but I can check the account to see if this was notated. We don't have new customer offers at this time that would waive the install fee. Was this an agent over the phone or at the local store? If it was the local store, have you had a chance to follow up with them directly?

This was an agent at my local store, I haven't had the chance to get back in touch with him.
