Cable Down for three days with no help from Comcast

A tree branch fell during a storm last Thursday morning, bringing a wire with it that has been hanging at waist height across my driveway since. The fire department determined it is a Comcast cable and advised it be moved asap. I reported it to Comcast immediately, and was told it would be removed at 10am on Friday - they did not show up, or reach out to update me. When I called to check in, they apologized and told me a technician would come by the next day(Saturday) to remove it. It is now Sunday morning and there is still a cable blocking my driveway(and front door.) I have received ZERO communication from Comcast. This is a serious safety issue and also an inconvenience.

user_ywv5ce Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums! I can definitely understand the concern with a low hanging line and I would love to take a look and see where we are at with getting a technician out to take care of it. Please send us a DM to Xfinity Support with your full name and address to get started.

Sure, I’ll send you a DM, but honestly it shouldn’t matter. I’ve been on the phone with Xfinity for a total of 3+ hours over the last few days, and it hasn’t helped anything, so I’m not sure what a private message will resolve here. You obviously don’t care about your customers’ safety or satisfaction. 
for anyone curious, I am 5+ year customer on autopay, and I live in Santa Cruz, CA.
