$100 charge for xfinity technician visit initiated by xfinity????

Why am i being chartged $100 for an xfinity visit that I only asked for because xfinity troubleshooting assistant told me that there was a problem with my internet connecting via ethernet that required a technician to check (xfinity problem)? I asked xfinity to check on the issue per xfinity's advice. The technician that visited then told me there wasn't a problem with cable (probably a software issue that he couldn't check and doesn't know why the troubleshooter keeps recommending technician assistance), did nothing, then left.

And why can't I talk to a live person. Xfinity's AI sucks bad and only has standard responses without an option to analyze by a person or actually solve specific billing or service issues.

Hey there, @user_y9dhjb! Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums!

Typically, that would occur if you recently started services or swapped out an Xfinity owned device. Not to worry, we can certainly dive into the account with you. Can you please send us a DM to get started?
