Technician fee

I got my bill statement today with a $100 charge for professional install. I had a technician come out because I couldn't get my internet to set up properly, which ended up being that the coax port had no connection and there was a cord sticking out from a different wall I had to use instead. Throughout making the appointment with the AI, having to cancel my original appointment when the technician was running behind by 2 hours, and calling to remake a new appointment (having to wait a week to align with my schedule) I was not informed of any possible charges relating to this appointment. As a new customer, it's frustrating to surprisingly have a charge double my monthly bill added with no warning. Had the charge been explained I would have tried to do more research to figure it out alone to avoid it unless absolutely necessary. I only made the appointment after trying to troubleshoot through the AI which only kept telling me to make sure my gateway was plugged in with no helpful assistance

Greetings @olizimme,

Thanks for visiting our community forums support page, and welcome to the Xfinity family. The disclosure for the professional installation charge of $100 actually comes at the point of ordering the service. If a technician is needed within 30 days of ordering a getting started kit customers will incur the $100 professional installation charge. In this scenario the charge would be valid, but we can take a closer look at your account based on the delay of the appointment. Just send our team a direct message with your full name and service address.
