Cable pedestal in yard is smashed

The cable pedestal is next to the neighbors driveway. We reported it previously a year ago and two service people showed up and told us there would be a replacement in a couple weeks. It is now months later and no one from Xfinity has any record of the repair they claimed would happen. 
can anyone tell a consumer how to get a fix from Xfinity? All posts seem to note the pedestal replacement does not happen.

Hey @user_naxmrn, Thank you for visiting our official Xfinity Forums Community support page. We would be more than happy to submit a request for the pedestal. What exactly needs to be fixed/replaced? Is the lid loose or not properly secured? Please do not hesitate to attach any photo's if available. We hope to hear from you soon.

It's the same as the service guys left it, laying down on it's side, bent over and wires showing just like it was when they left it last year. Obviously the service guys who came out "don't do that sort of work" but they told us in a couple weeks a fix would be done. Well, it has been over a year and nothing is done yet.

I just wrote a response and don't see it posted anywhere, so, It is on  it's side just like it was when your two service guys came last year and saw it

We have been through all this 3 times previously, and there has been no response to fix the cable box in the yard. If I'm already logged in, why can't you see the address after 34 years of service?

I don't need to earn a new badge, we want the cable box in the yard replaced, as it is smashed again.

So, is this a secure message forum? I'm not going to advertise my address and information to the entire world. How do I contact Xfinity to get my cable box fixed?  This process is so convoluted, I have done this time and again with no results. Seems odd that there is not an email address that I can send my request to instead of a public forum for everyone to see, just to contact a service request from Xfinity. The last time I actually got someone to come to the house I had to call the local Xfinity store and get a real person to help, not just AI asking the same questions over and over again.

The information we request would be provided to us in a secure private chat that only we can access. I understand that it may be a bit unsettling to provide it this way, but this will ensure we can provide your account information back to you. If you feel more comfortable and would like to call, you can contact Xfinity by calling 1-800-266-2278.
