Professional Install Charge

I had to make a technician appointment because I was having intermittent signal loss. Tech came out and determined the cable from the utility pole to the demarcation point was causing the problem and replaced it. I was of the understanding that maintaining the cable from the utility pole to the demarcation point was the responsibility of cable/internet providers, yet I was charged the fee. Am I mistaken in this understanding?

Great question, user_v9z5c7. Service visits may be charged a fee. If a technician is required to complete an installation, a $100 charge will apply. If the technician determines your reported service issue is unrelated to Xfinity services or rental equipment, a $100 charge will apply. This fee will be waived for existing customers experiencing Xfinity-related service issues.

But the technician didn't find any issue with my equipment or have to complete an installation. He determined it was the cable from the utility pole to the demarcation point that was causing the issue, which from what I understand, it is the responsibility of Comcast to replace without charging the customer.
