Cannot get issue resolved

We have been without internet access for three weeks - Century Link accidentally cut our cable doing their own work on 12/18 and we have been trying to get someone to fix it ever since. I have been on the phone or on chat every single day trying to get someone to come bury our new line. They have sent 4 different technicians who all say we need a construction team to come dig up the concrete in the alley to bury a new cable. But every time I try to get an update on if this is actually in the works I get a different answer or a false answer. For instance, the chat person yesterday told me the construction team was scheduled to come today between 11-6, but they never showed up. I chatted again and the person said they had no record of anything being scheduled for today and that there is just an open ticket for our property with no scheduled date for completion. I continue to ask for a status update to make SURE someone is working on this, and no one will give me an answer or proof that they have any intent to fix this. We are not able to work or educate without our internet and I am wasting hours a day dealing with this. What do I do to get this fixed??

After chatting for 2 hours I am told to just “wait for the local team” which I have for 3 weeks and gotten nowhere. And when I asked for a supervisor, I got no reply. This absolutely the worst customer service and issue resolution I have ever encountered.

@user_sel1wh I am sorry to hear this has been your experience. As someone who works from home, I understand the need for an internet connection. There are a lot of moving parts to get this issue resolved for you. Have you noticed if the local Dig Safe company has marked where the utility lines are buried underground? When you have time please check out this article on our webpage also explains the process of installing or replacing lines underground. It explains the process and what may cause delays. https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/underground-wiring

Oh everything is marked and that should take no more than 3 days according to your website. We are at 3 WEEKS now.

Thanks for continuing to work with our team over the last month, @user_sel1wh. This one was a doozy but I am happy everything is working as it should now. For community knowledge, there were delays with getting a new line installed which was needed to fix this. Please feel free to create a new thread or comment if you need us in the future but you should be good from here.
