Burying cable
Trying to get cable buried for 3 months. July 10, 2020 came home cable out. Service man came out july 12 and unable to fix and put order for a lineman. Lineman came out on Monday and found the problem several houses down the road. Was told a crew would be out in about 2 weeks to bury. After 2 weeks I checked the Xfinity site and it said allow 2 - 4 weeks. On August 28, 2020 contacted Tom Karinshak Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Experience Officer for Comcast Cable. I received email from Patrica S. at Tom Karinshak's office who stated "Based on the review of your current concerns, I have escalated this matter to our Regional Executive Team. Your concerns require assistance outside of my scope to personally resolve. The Regional Executive team has the expertise to expedite resolution of these specific matters" . September received email from Andrea F., Executive Customer Relations Comcast | Big South Region Corporate. Andrea F. said the cable is scheduled to be buried on October 09, 2020. I have sent an email to Patricia S. October 04, 2020 to verify the date because I keep receiveing compliants from neighbors and my HOA as if was my fault and suggesting I use AT&T instead. As of October 08, 2020 underground services have not been located and marked. Have placed a call once again to Andrea F. and still waiting for her to return my call. 3 months seem excessive especially since it creats a tripping hazard.

Update to cable laying in the road. I just got a phone call from Comcast on 10/10/2020. They now have a brand new gaurenteed estimated update on when the cable will be buried. The information was that it is now estimated to be buried on the 23rd. No month given. If for some reason that happens it would be 3 1/2 months. From what I noticed Comcast Forum does nothing for burying cable. They never get involved with these customers who are numerous. Will contact AT&T and see who can meet my needs first.

I feel your pain. I've been chasing them for going on two months myself, they keep giving me dates and telling me they'll call, and still my cable is unburied. They were at the house behind me today, buried their cable, and left mine and another unburied. And my neighbor moved in 3 weeks after I did! Seems to be no organization or accountability

My cable was cut by the crew installing the new service cable between Comcast boxes. Called and talked to customer support and we barely got the tv working but not the internet. I tightened the jumper cable ends at both Comcast boxes and tv worked great but no internet. Customer Support scheduled a Service Tech to come out the next day. As I came home from town a Comcast truck was by the Comcast box. I went to talk with him and he said he was there to install new service next door. I told him my problem and he did not want to help. After about 2 hours the Comcast Tech customer service sent to help me arrived. He looked in the Comcast box and immediately pulled out a short cable that was skinned and replaced it. Everything worked then. Checked cable value from Comcast box to house and decided to replace that cable too. He called the Comcats office about the jumper cable sitting in the gutter for 3 months and requested the service cable from the 2 Comcast boxes to be connected and remove the jumper cable out of the gutter. 3 days later (811 underground locators marked the area on my neighbors and my house (both cables come out of same Comcast box). Today they buried my neighbors cable and left mine lying on top of the ground. Sometimes you can never get things completed.

Add me to the never ending calls and false promises to bury my line. I have been a customer for a year now and still have my line above ground. My HOA has informed me to bury it or starting getting fined. Xfinity can care less about the follow up. To many promises, not a single customer service rep has done a thing to assist. And to think I switched from AT&T! Heck atleast they live up to their promises!!
