technician fee

I have been suffering from spotty cable & internet in my house since last summer, most notably in my main bedroom, where the wireless box goes in and out and freezes.  Not all the internet devices stay connected in that room, and the coverage is slow in other places in the home.

I have spoken to and communicated with customer service on multiple occasions since last summer.  I had a technician come out and address it in last month.  He checked inside and outside and then said he thought it was a problem at the street.  The problem was NOT fixed.  I still have spotty outages.

I got my bill this month and was assessed a $100 fee for the visit.  So, why was I assessed a fee for a problem addressed at the street that still hasn't been fixed?  I am frustrated with the level of support and the charges (my bill also went up last month) for a completely substandard product.

Concern moved here to the Billing help section for greater exposure to Comcast corporate employees (The Digital Care Team) for assistance.

Hi, user_p72zd9! Thank you for spending your time reaching out for help with getting the internet and cable services fixed. We appreciate you greatly for your patience while waiting for a solution. As a subscriber myself, I understand the inconvenience this can cause. I am sorry to learn about this experience. We are the right virtual door to knock on for help. The only time you'd be charged for a tech visit is if the trouble is due to customer education, customer equipment, inside wiring, or intentionally damaged equipment. If for any reason other than what I have described you are charged, we can waive the charge for the visit once the issue is resolved. Make sense so far?

The technician removed a piece of equipment that was at the box outside that he said was slowing the signal into the house.  That sounds like it falls outside of the reason for me to pay for a technician visit.  I can't access the Comcast box outside.  That required a technician visit.  How do I go about getting this charge removed?
