Request to waive technician fee – Incorrect self-install kit instructions and equipment

Hello,
I am writing to request a waiver for the technician visit fee charged to my account.
I attempted to set up my service using the Self-Install Kit and closely followed the provided instructional videos. The setup instructions explicitly directed me to use the black cord included in the box. I plugged it into multiple different outlets, but the service would not work.
Because the official instructions failed, I had to schedule a technician visit. Upon arrival, the technician informed me that the black cord was completely unnecessary for my apartment's setup. He bypasses it entirely and hooked up the service using an existing cord already present in my apartment.
The issue was entirely caused by incorrect instructions and mismatched materials provided by Xfinity, not user error. Because I followed your guidelines perfectly and the kit itself was the problem, I request that the technician fee be waived from my bill.
Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your confirmation.
