Awful experience trying to get services set up

I am a current xfinity customer. I called on 8/11 to get services set up at a new address, explained we need a full set up and there is nothing at the location, cables need to be ran, etc. first available appointment was given on 8/18. Tech showed up- said they couldnt do anything since we do not have cables and we need a comcast electrician to come out and run cables. The tech said they would put in a work order and someone would be out in 24-48 hours. I have called xfinity twice and been on the phone for an hour each time. I was told tonight (Monday) that first available appt is now Sunday 8/27. That is over 2 weeks from when I scheduled an appt. I work remote and need wifi. i asked to escalate this issue because the initial appt was set up wrong by XFinity, i asked to confirm if the appt is with an electrician and not just a tech and was told
the file is documented. I asked to speak with a manager and was told a manager was calling me back in 10 minutes and no one called me back tonight. This has been the worst customer experience, it is impossible to speak with anyone who can actually help. We are so dissatisfied that we are looking for alternative options to set up internet and cable at both of our home locations.

@XfinityAnthonyT​ can you please tell me how to send a direct message to Xfinity Support? I have tried multiple ways to get this escalated without success.

Hello, @XfinityCU To send a direct message: 

  1. In the top right corner, you'll see a little chat icon near the bell icon. Click the direct message icon 
  2. Click the "New message" (pencil and paper) icon
  3. In the 'To' line, type "Xfinity Support" there. A drop-down list appears. Select "Xfinity Support" from that list (an "Xfinity Support" graphic replaces the "To:" line)
  4. Type your message in the text area near the bottom of the window
  5. Press Enter to send it. An official employee, such as myself or whoever is first available, will respond. Thanks!

Sweetie, that's not a bell icon, it's a person! Your description of how to reply is the easiest to understand of all replies I've seen so far. 😁
