Installation Fee

I am being charged an "installation fee" after a technician came by last month to activate a coax plug in a different room. At no point was I told of a fee, even after speaking to 3 separate Xfinity employees before finally getting a technician out. Why am I being charged a $100 installation fee? My internet is included in the cost of my rent.

user_caykvx  I can certainly understand your frustration with being charged an installation fee, especially when you weren't expecting it. I apologize that this charge was not clearly communicated to you upfront. The $100 charge you're seeing is our standard fee for a professional installation. This fee covers the work done by the technician to activate a coax outlet, as well as setting up and ensuring your internet service is fully functional.

 

I would be more than happy to review your account and the details of that appointment with you. Please send me a direct message with your full name and address so I can take a closer look.
