Cable bury

I’ve had multiple failures with the right individuals being scheduled to bury a cable to get internet at our home. Every time my order is cancelled and I receive no follow up. Wednesday I had received confirmation with a ticket that the cable bury would be occurring but a technician was sent instead, for the second time, and left without any follow-up as to how I am supposed to get service.

Concern moved here for greater exposure to actual Comcast employees.

Hi there! I'd be glad to ensure that this gets looked into further. Please send a private message with your name, the complete service address (including city, state, ZIP, suite number, etc), and the phone or account number, and any pertinent details-- like the ticket number(s)-- so we can help. You can do this by clicking on the icon in the upper right corner of their screen and send a message to the shared handle "Xfinity Support"

I do not see where I can message you privately with this information. Are you able to initiate a private message?

Hello,

My original cable bury was scheduled back in May of 2021.  The installer came out and claimed that he did not have the necessary equipment to run the line beneath a stair that is built into our landscape.  He never came back and we never received a phone call or email confirming a return trip.  When I called xfinity the week of 7/12/2021, I was told the installer would be at my house on Thursday, 7/15/2021 between 3:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M.  The installer never showed up.  I never received a call or email telling me when the bury would be rescheduled, or why nobody showed up.  When I called xfinity again on 7/16/2021, I was told that the next available bury appointment would be August 14, 2021.  That would mean it will take 3 months to bury my cable.  I should have been moved up or prioritized in the next up list, but I was not. This cable is in a location that is a tripping risk for foot traffic and also at risk to be cut by mowing the lawn.
