I want to dispute a service installation charge

I received a bill in the mail for $100 today. This was a huge shock to me, as I had no idea I had even incurred this fee. 

I had called prior to have a modem sent to my new apartment, but one never arrived. After a few days, I made the trip to an Xfinity store where I picked one up. I came home, and set it up successfully. 

Then, one day, the modem suddenly stopped working. I called Xfinity customer service, and they attempted to fix it. In the end, they said they would need to send a technician. Nowhere in this conversation was a $100 installation fee ever mentioned. I would have remembered, this is a lot of money for a college student!!

I am extremely frustrated that I am being billed for a problem resulting from Xfinity's modem and lack of customer support communication. I am writing to formally dispute the $100 installation fee, which was a) Xfinity's faulty equipment and b) I was not informed of.

OMG! Same problem here! No way to speak with a live agent in chat or phone!   I was told by the technician that there would be no charge, and he showed me his little device that stated "No charge to customer" Xfinity forces you to pay this $100. I want to dispute it of course there is nowhere to do so.
