Can’t get a live agent for confusing internet issue

I’m getting 16% of plan speed. Troubleshooting multiple times over and over has failed. Xfinity assistant says a problem with my internet that needs a tech, but says I have to pay for it. Why?? No answer. Agent?? Loops back to the same thing every time. I just added mobile to my plan too but not feeling love for loyalty when I need help. Internet has worked fine, I need it for work and don’t have time to sit on hold for an hour with work and kids schedule.  

So, help! How can I get some help?

Greetings, user_beki6b! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to further help with your service. I apologize that has been running slowly and that you could not get an answer about the charge. Have you made any changes to your package or modem in the last 30 days?

If you have, our system will set up a technician recovery visit which comes with a $100 charge. There are times we need to get involved to reverse that charge as the issue is not a result of changing your package or how your service is installed. This is not newly installed. 

Our other visits are known as trouble calls. They are set up when you are outside the 30 day period I mentioned above. For those visits, there is sometimes a $100 charge. If the root cause is customer owned equipment or wiring there is a charge. There is no charge if the root cause is Xfinity owned equipment or wiring as well as for repeat visits for the same issue within 30 days.
