Xfinity customer service is the worse
Xfinity is a rip-off.
Initially, I used Xfinity internet service. When setting up my personal internet initially, I could do it myself.
Then I moved to a new apartment, they had their own Xfinity internet package, which they said I have to get the technology package through the apartment.
So then, I had to cancel my personal Xfinity service for the apartment's Xfinity service.
To initiate the new service, I faced issues logging into my Xfinity account due to the cancellation of my personal Xfinity account. Therefore, I contacted customer service for assistance in setting up/logging into my Xfinity account. As they couldn't resolve it over the phone, they assured me a technician would be sent to address the issue. Upon asking, they also said I will not be charged for this issue.
The technician arrived, helped me create an account, set up the internet, and provided extra wires that were initially missing for self-installation. Post the service, I was charged $100.
Mind you, I would have been able to set up the service myself if I was able to create a new Xfinity account online (which was an issue from Xfinity’s side) and received the necessary wires for self installation (another issue from Xfinity’s side).
Also, I don’t understand why a technician fee is charged when the issue originated from their end, considering I already pay for Xfinity service every month.
Next, I called Xfinity customer service to dispute that charge. Firstly, every time I call, everyone provides different answers. Some claim it's a valid charge for an issue that originated from Xfinity's end. Others say that it shouldn't be charged, suggesting to open a case for a $100 refund. Some say, the case is active and the charge will be removed for the account shortly. Lastly, when I called today, they informed me that my case has been declined because it is a valid charge for technician coming to fix the problem occurring from Xfinity’s end?

@user_prd3cj As a customer myself, I understand how frustrating internet trouble can be. When you are setting up services you do agree to the following: I chose the self-installation option with the Getting Started kit. I agree that if an Xfinity technician is required to complete the installation, I will be charged a Professional Installation fee of $100. This $100.00 installation fee is necessary as it covers the cost of any outdoor/indoor repairs, replacements, and reconfiguration of the wiring during the appointment to complete the installation of your services. I would be happy to take a look at the account and the ticket that was put in for the charge.
Please send me a Direct Message with your name and service address so that I can fully dive into this for you! I will leave you instructions on how to initiate the message with us! I look forward to working with you soon!

The message I am asking you to send is not though the Xfinity app but here on the Xfinity forums. Are you able to send us the direct message here? @user_prd3cj
